Chapter 8

Man's Trajectory of Journey throughout
Knowledge and its Reality

1. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, like a rocket, has come from the Sacred World to Earth to observe the variety of God's artifacts and to gain Insight into the Almighty Unique Artificer. Meanwhile, he is equipped with both the discerning vision of the microscope and the encompassing vision of a telescope and the properly ordered computer of the heart, intellect and brain. And he is the owner of even greater masteries and secrets than this.

2. Question: What will be the result of all these processes of man's life?

Answer: Outwardly the final rocket stage of each individual reaches to the edge of old age. In reality however, he has been sent in this direction by the Intention of his Launcher and Bringer (His Highness, the Glorious Supreme Being). This can last up to whenever God may will; namely, the appointed hour of death.

3. Question: When would his stay here on earth end?

Answer: As soon as it is proven to the Observationary-Knowledge of His Holiness, the Exalted and Glorious Supreme Being, that man has chosen one of the two paths: Glorious God, or the world (or both), and that it has become his ultimate goal, then He will make this being return.

4. Question: Why are some people eliminated during their childhood?

Answer: There are many secrets to this. One of these secrets is that some parents may be released from torture through these children's intercession, and also, in order to make the children of the same age thankful that they were not taken away but were allowed to survive. These children who pass away would be grateful seeing the distress of mothers, fathers, relatives and other brothers in the Gathering Place of mankind on the Day of Judgement. They would be thankful that they themselves did not reach maturity to get into all these troubles, and that they did not have the chance of committing sin and ignorance. Again through His Grace, they were made of the people of forgiveness and intercession. Likewise, there are many other secrets behind it, and if you ponder, you may find them.

5. Question: Are there any more of these important points?

Answer: The important secret here is that if Almighty God had given the same life expectancy to everybody and if the instances of natural or sudden death were not different, then man would have been very aggressive, since he knew that he had not yet approached the threshold of death. This would have caused greater laziness and ignorance. Meanwhile, the meaning of trial or rather its truth, would have disappeared.

6. Question: What is the effect of the death of young children of unbelievers and agnostics?

Answer: For the fathers and mothers, by observing these children, to discover that if they were left at least with their inborn faith, without denial of confession for the existence of Almighty God's Oneness, they would deserve this favor (Paradise). Hence, they would be saved from the tortures, and have a shelter in Paradise or in the Ismuth.

7. Question: What kind of people would be released by Intercession?

Answer: The people in whose hearts is left a particle of either inborn faith or acquired faith.

8. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, contrary to the fruit-bearing and strong trees, has diminutive portion of branches growing above the surface of the earth, while his main and most powerful roots are all growing bigger and bigger beneath the surface.

9. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being whose roots are beneath the ground, but he himself is situated on earth, while he passes his tangible and intangible stages of growth. In other words, two or three of his ancestors are on the earth while most of the others are underground. This means that the main infrastructure of his ancestry has been residing beneath the ground for thousands of years. In this way, the great and greater members of a tribe or ethnic group are always increasing more and more beneath the ground.

10. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, from cradle to grave has to abide by either his man-made laws or heavenly law.

11. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who has seen and does see the life expectancy (the mortality and the survival) of most things, yet considers this material world's life to be everlasting. For, each individual's life perishes while the perishing of the world cannot be seen during his lifetime. This is similar to an example where ants reside for generations and generations beside a strong palm tree, thinking of the tree as a permanent thing because they have seen it standing there for hundreds of their own generations.

NOTICE!

In the contents of this chapter, after perceiving the substance of man as well as searching for and showing the approaching path to the Almighty Creator of this universe, it would not be out of place to draw your attention to a portion of those truths which most certainly shall shed light on the existence of the Permanent World and the Visitation with Exalted and Mighty His Holiness Supreme Being. The perception of this precious fact is of course, a convincing sign of the existence of the Fourth Dimension. Or, it is a guide for everybody, especially for the faithful ones, in finding the secrets of Union and the mysteries concerning it.

Fortunately in our age, Almighty God has opened the doors of all these outward favors, through inventions of technological and scientific tools and instruments, allowing them to be accessed by man in such a way that their likeness has rarely been made available; in the past, probably only to kings.

Ponder this: it was prophet Solomon's miracle to spend one day flying a distance which would otherwise have taken one month. Now, however, it is made available, to any auspicious or inauspicious person, to travel by plane a distance of one or two months or more in just one hour. There are hundreds of other similar examples.

Observing the abundance of such favors bestowed upon all children of mankind, we place such hope in His Unique One Being, the Almighty Absolute Bestower, and you may say Amen and undertake practical efforts so that He may soon give to all mankind the success of having His favor of the fortune of faith globalize through the leadership of this humblest servant, and all assistants, and the noble ones of the world. So that the sun of Oneness will be shining all over the earth; and the notional and practical Insight of Islam would radiate; and that justice would be worldwide to its highest degree, such as has never occurred in the past and would not be seen in the future.

Hoping for the favor and grace of the Generous, the Bestower, and the Most Compassionate.

1. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who, after passing the best time of his life (youth), remembers that period for the rest of his life and regrets that it has passed. By paying a little attention he will come to understand this fact as well that the Exalted God, Who bestowed on him more or less twenty to thirty years of youth and a pleasant time, has indeed the power to bestow upon him this fortune for billions of years in a place where there would be no trouble or distress (Paradise).

2. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being whose perceptions, when taken from a text, especially if the hidden truths about the eternal world are contained in it, are at different levels. For example, the perception of the above mentioned factual truth is not a problem in the view of wise and clear-sighted people.

The scientists for instance, are certifying the age of the planet of the earth as being approximately more than millions of years. Could not the Creator and Owner of all this power then, bestow upon us billions of years of lifetime in Paradise? The answer is Yes, but there are those who can rarely understand this fact.

3. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who likes a few fixed months, the best time of the year-spring and summer. Routinely, His Almighty Unique Being has granted these seasons to be specific periods of time. Then why do they not think that the Generous Almighty God can also bestow upon us billions of years of continuous spring and marvelous seasons in Paradise, even though the ultimate purpose of man's creation for sound and modest activities in this world seems somewhat perishable and fictitious, and he is basically created for over there (Paradise)?

4. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who well knows that a person or company builds a machine or instrument lasting one or a few years, he could always make it last longer by improving its efficiency, thus allowing the tool to work longer. Man believes this, but he does not acknowledge that Glorious God Who has given him twenty to thirty years of youth, could also grant him billions of years of youth in the Permanent World. Indeed, this is not a problem.

5. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who fully believes in the theoretical and experimental grounds proving the existence of Almighty God and the Almighty Unique Creator. He sees that Almighty God has given all these colors, odors, values, secrets, and beauty to the earth's products from the soil, water, and invisible energy of sunlight. Indeed, from a material thousands of times better (Paradise), He could produce things more perfect and amazing, that being Paradise and its Gardens.

Basically this period of being an Actor in life for each individual is for the purpose of completing the "movie" of his life. As soon as the Soul is out of the body, according to its summary of good and bad deeds, it will be placed in one of the Paradise(s) or Hell(s).

Therefore, death is the minor resurrection and the Day of Judgement is the major resurrection for the union to the Permanent World with positive acknowledgement (seeing).

6. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who sees the differences in the variety of fruits, metals, and many other things. He knows that even though the things within each classification outwardly have the same name, for example, all tree products are called fruits, however, the taste and quality of each fruit is different. Likewise, all metals are called minerals, but the values of uranium, platinum, and gold, etc., are distinct, compared to other metals due to their special qualities and secrets. The same principle is applicable to globes and galaxies, in comparing the heavens' globes and galaxies to others; and when considering the soil, the heavens' soil is hundreds of times more valuable than the unworthy, massive soil of the earth.

7. Question: Who is man?

Answer: Man is the being who sees the variety in creativity and providence, which exist in different ways. He sees a cycle being used therein, yet being weak, he cannot feel with the inner enlightenment that Exalted and Glorious God is the Creator of this entire Order, and that He can create in other forms and ways as well. This will be better understood in the following Epistles.
