“I wondered how those who have righteousness and Qur’an are defeated …”
“I also wondered how those who follow Satan succeed ….”
Many scientists wrote about “time travel” from various fields of knowledge, some of the research were related to “science fiction”, whereas some others had to do with “physics illustration” or under “future studies”. I have been reading a lot about literary and scientific books in the field until now.
However, I astonishingly realized that all of these efforts have reached the ultimate level, which is “the absolute impossibility practically and realistically”, but, this possibility is assumed through “mental and mathematical calculations”; i.e.; to time travel into the past or into the future, which is mentally, memorably, imaginarily possible as well as through mental calculations, assumptions and complicated scientific mysteries.
Before us, there is a “revelation” a mean of transportation to travel in time into the earliest time in the history or into the ending point in the future. At our mental and spiritual level, we do not really mind to believe that revelation is a fact not an imagination, a fact that has nothing to do with virtuality, yet we can believe and doubt our senses regarding what we witness in our daily life.
Scientifically-related achievements usually underestimate the importance of religion, bearing in mind that they have a complex towards “perversion of Christianity”, which stood as an obstacle in the way of scientific progress of the western society, although it wasn’t the case for knowledge in the East, the Islamic territories in particular, as the situation was completely different:
When knowledge was associated with the Holy Qur’an and Nobel Sunnah, it reached highest levels of advancement, however, when people lost their faith and when kings and general public underestimated the book of Allah, by using it to get blessing or to express their silence over the significant matters, not as a reference of action and a principal for diligence; they lost everything: knowledge, deed, revelation and power.
I did the best I can using all my knowledge to give a description or a title for time travel for Mi’raj in the Holy Qur’an , but I could not implicate the miraculous style of the Holy Qur’an: “specific time”.
Instead of “a bronze frame through which you go beyond time”, “a complicated machine” “a shuttle” or “a balloon” … you have a book that knows about the whole existence. It was not “made by humans” but it was “a revelation from the All-Wise and All-Knowing One”. When you open the book, turn the pages and wander between its universal, spiritual and prospective verses smoothly and sound “We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember”.
You shall keep ascending … until you reach “the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass” and hear a voice coming to your ears “ascend and recite carefully as you recited carefully when you were in the world, for you will reach your abode when you come to the last verse you recite” … there in the gardens where you will be roaming, rejoicing and greeting those near you with: “peace, peace” …
When a believer stands in the prayer, after the opening takbeer (takbeerat al-ihraam) to start reading the chapter of al-Fatiha, which will take him to the earliest moment in the history then to the ending point of the future within just few words, whether directly like: “the day of resurrection”, “He begets not, nor was He begotten” or indirectly, like the name of the Almighty Allah: “In the name of Allah”…
By invoking the Almighty in His name, you are then traveling to the infinite and address the One who is beyond time and space: the Almighty Allah and His mercy, beneficence and grace attributes etc…
One of the happiest moments of life is when you have a dialogue with Allah, the Exalted, when you are deeply focused on reading al-Fatiha chapter, you will hear Him telling angels, the whole universe and you in person in a voice you could recognize as if you are Moses when he was on mount Tur or Muhammad and his companion in the cave … saying:
‘’I have divided the prayer between Myself and My slave into two halves, and My slave shall have what he has asked for ‘When the slave says: ‘Al-hamdulillah i rabbil Alameen (All the praise is to Allah, the Lord of all that exists),’ Allah says:’My slave has praised Me, and My slave shall have what he has asked for.’ And when he says: ‘Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim (The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)….”
Until He says: “…this is for My slave, and My slave shall have what he has asked for”
When you take any verse from the Holy Qur’an “read as much as maybe easy for you” you shall find yourself, your mind, your feeling, your thoughts and your emotions deeply focused. When you are able to read the Qur’an with solemnity and submission, your body shall be fully focused, your ears all listening, your tears dropping out, your forehead sweating and your heart beating very fast and continuously.
Take for instance “al-Masad chapter”, you will find yourself walking in the streets of Macca of hundreds of years ago, where Abu Lahab is arrogantly strolling with his wife out there, whom you can observe through the way she looks and the way she walks arrogantly, even in her similar character to a witch, when she orders her servants to lit the fire up and put wood and Thrones of Sadan on the way of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
For Him (prophet Muhammad peace be upon him) he walks slowly, in humble and firm steps, looking at the sky to praise Allah for His bounties and looking to the ground to ask Him for forgiveness ……
Soon after, you will find yourself, with your soul, your heartbeat and your mental thoughts there living the scenes like a camera recording from above, if you deeply focus and humble yourself.
You will travel there to “hereafter” where you will find “a burning fire” with fire of hell, flames, boiling water, fierce hot wind, and filth from the washing of wounds …” surrounded by angels as if you see them by the naked eyes throwing disbelievers to hell, under the order of their Exalted Lord …
Now, while I performed Fajr prayer I traveled in time and space, I don’t know how many years, centuries or light years to hereafter … where Abu Lahab’s wife that I saw few moments ago in Mecca is now in the hereafter life “His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood, a twisted rope of palm-leaf fiber around her neck”.
The wood she throws in a hole of fire cannot be frightfully and dreadfully compared in our worldly features. There in the fire, Abu Lahab and his wife burn in the hot blazing fire in a very horrible scene … which urges me to recall past events and lessons learned … and pushes me to seek the reasons of their bad fate in hell so I can avoid it, on the other hand I ask about the path to heaven so as to reach it…
After a long and exhausting search, I realized that only “belief” can be the ladder, lift and path to heaven. It is also be a barrier, defender and protector from hell …
Traveling in time is motivated only by “belief” and dedicated for “belief” “Verily, the prayer is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours” …
Only the so called believers can stand in the prayer and travel across the worlds, however, for disbelievers, hypocrites or deniers … these verses and chapters would seem just as simple words to read, articulate explain or search if it includes contradictions. Even if this type of people stand for the prayer, they won’t travel neither to the past nor to the future … they will be like a bird with broken wings.
Now, why can’t artists, scholars, writers and intellects write stories for children, with an extracted meaning from the deep understanding of “the Holy Qur’an” about time travel to the human history from Adam peace be upon him to the day of resurrection, from the skies to the earth, from the beginning to the end of the creation including Barzakh, garden and hell … instead of the myths of “time machine” and “Harry Potter” etc ……
These travels can be implemented by artists, scriptwriters, painters and filmmakers, providing that they adhere to belief, in order to fight the storms and evilness spread by media, social networking sites, international media organizations like Hollywood … which only works on putting poison, planting suspicion of faith and displaying only atheism…
“I wondered how those who have righteousness and Qur’an are defeated …”
“I also wondered how those who follow Satan succeed ….”
