                       2. Martyrs Inhabit a Dimension Unknown to Human Beings

                       Other verses that point to the existence of dimensions
                  are those that reveal the rank and position of martyrs. For
                  example:
                       Do not say that those who are killed in the way of Allah are
                       dead. On the contrary, they are alive, but you are not aware
                       of it. (Surat al-Baqara:154)

                       In other words, even though martyrs appear to have
                  died in the biological sense, He states that they are alive, but
                  that we cannot fully understand their true situation. The ex-
                  pression "they are alive, but you are not aware of it" indicates
                  that people have no knowledge of this subject and cannot
                  understand it, for they are only familiar with the conditions
                  of this world. (Allah knows the truth.) Other verses reveal
                  that martyrs live in the manner appointed for them by Allah
                  in a very different dimension, one in which there is no time
                  and space:
                       Do not suppose that those killed in the way of Allah are

                       dead. No indeed! They are alive and well provided for in
                       the very Presence of their Lord, delighting in the favor
                       Allah has bestowed on them, rejoicing over those they left
                       behind who have not yet joined them, feeling no fear and
                       knowing no sorrow, rejoicing in blessings and favor from
                       Allah, and that Allah does not let the wage of the believers
                       go to waste. (Surah Al 'Imran:169-171)
