THE MINOR RESURRECTION

Book foreword- Translator

What happens after death?

 Doctors and scientists are able to describe in detail what happens to the body once death has occurred, but what happens to the essence, the soul, the person who dwelt in that body?

 This is a question which concerns many, of all backgrounds and walks of life. Many have tried to answer this question, producing theories that range from the fanciful to the nihilistic.

But man-made notions cannot answer questions about matters which man has no way of seeing. No-one has ever come back from ”the other side” with a scientific report on what really happens.

In this as in so many other issues, Islam brings us answers.

 Surely the One Who gives life and takes it away, is the One Who is the best to inform us of what happens after death. He has informed us about these matters, in His Book and through His last Prophet.

 Death is acknowledged to be a difficult matter, and so we are instructed to seek refuge with Allah from the trials of death as well as of life.

We are also informed of what will take place after death, including the questioning of the angels and the torment of the grave, and Islam offers us the comfort of being able to seek Allah’s protection from that torment.

Death is only one part of the future that concerns us. Human beings have a fascination with the future, as is apparent from the proliferation of soothsayers and fortunetellers.

Although the Prophets have warned mankind repeatedly that consulting such charlatans is 1zaraar (and harmful), they have exerted an influence over people down throughout history. In contrast, Islam tells us about the future just that which we need to know. For example, we are told that the

Hour (the Day of Judgement) will certainly come, but we are not told when.

This knowledge is all we need to know, so that we may continually strive to be prepared to meet our Lord. The believers have always had this sense that the Hour is imminent, from the time of the Prophet until the present day.

We do not know when the Hour will come – for even the Prophe was not granted this knowledge. But we have been told of the signs and portents which will herald its coming. Many of the minor signs have already come to pass, or are happening now.

 Leaming about these signs helps us to make sense of a world that sometimes seems to be going out of control. When we see that events and trends fit the pattern described in the Qur’an and a aadeeth, we understand that there is a plan and a purpose, and that Allah is in control of the universe.

In this book, Dr. ‘Umar al-Ashqar examines all these issues from the point of view of the Qur’an and Sunnah. As always, he quotes extensively from the texts, placing these issues squarely within an Islamic framework and dispelling the myths and misunderstandings that have arisen and become prevalent.

May Allah reward the author for sharing his deep knowledge with the ummah, and may He cause this book to be of benefit to all who read it.Nasiruddin al-Khat1aab
