Page 37 - Death Resurrection Hell

HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

No indeed! When it (the soul) reaches the gullet and he hears
the words, 'Who can heal him now?' he knows it is indeed the
final parting. (Surat al-Qiyama: 26-28)

At this moment, the unbeliever faces the truth he denied all
throughout his life. With death, he will start to suffer the conse-
quences of his great guilt, his denial. Angels "beating their backs"
and "plucking (the soul) out harshly" are only the beginning and a
minor indication of the grief awaiting him.
On the contrary, death for the believer is the beginning of eter-
nal happiness and bliss. Unlike that of the unbeliever who suffers
bitterly, the soul of the believer is "drawn out gently" (Surat an-
Nazi'at: 2) with the angels saying: "Peace be upon you! Enter the
Garden as a reward for your labors." (Surat an-Nahl: 32) This is sim-

ilar to the state of sleep.
This is the ultimate truth about death. Externally, people witness
only the medical death: a body gradually losing its corporeal func-
tions. Those watching from the outside a person on the brink of death
see neither his face and back being beaten, nor his soul reaching the
gullet. Only the soul of the person concerned experiences these feel-
ings and sees these images. However, the actual death is "tasted" in
all of its aspects by the person dying in a dimension unfamiliar to
those witnessing death from the outside. In other words, what is ex-
perienced during the course of death is a "change in dimension."

The Death of the Believer
— Being aware that death is inevitable, the believer prepares
himself for death all throughout his life and ultimately passes on.

— Angels of death greet him and give him the glad tidings of
paradise.
