THE COMMENTARY OCCASION OF THE REVELATION VALID-IBN-MAGHIRAH...

THE COMMENTARY OCCASION OF THE REVELATION VALID-IBN-MAGHIRAH, forgeting all about his own creation, took a piece of bone that belonged to a dead man; and showed it to our prophet Mohammad (SA), while he was turning the bone into powder with the pressure of his fingers, and said:ِ ``Do you really say that, this rotten bone will come to life once again?

Who can give life to such a dry bone which is already decomposed?'' Our prophet who was sure that God has power over all things, said with emphasis that; He will give them life who created them for the first time, when they were nothing at all.

[ 79 ] ROUND ABOUT THE HELL VERSE NO.66ِ70 Man in a denial tongue, and rejecting language says:ِ ``When I am dead and decayed, shall I come to life once again?'' And he is answered:ِ ``Were you not created before when you were not a thing at all?'' In other word; Man was nothing at first, and God created him!

Is it not possible for the same God who created Man when he was nothing, to recreate him from dusts and bones which are at least something, and whatever else has remained of him spiritually or physically? Through the next verse (NO.68), Allah has strictly threatened the sinners and the unbelievers, that He will gather them around the Hell for His Final Judgement while they are wobbling on their knees. There; from every sect their stoutest of rebels against the Merciful God, are separated.

They are then joined with their devilish friends, and all are prepared for God's Final Judgement, so as to taste their deserved punishment. Those who reject the truth, and do evil deeds, deserve to be herded with their friends who are Satans. وَإِنْ مِّنْكُمْ إِلاَّ وَارِدُهَا كَانَ عَلَى رَبِّكَ حَتْماً مَّقْضِيّاً(( 71 )) 71- THERE IS NONE OF YOU UNLESS HE WILL ENTER IT, WHICH IS A DETERMINED DECREE OF YOUR LORD.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيّاً (( 72 )) 72- THEN WE SHALL SAVE THOSE WHO AVOIDED EVIL, AND LEAVE THE OPPRESSORS THEREIN, HOBBLING ON THEIR KNEES. [ 80 ] THE COMMENTARY ALL WILL HAVE TO SEE THE HELL NO.71ِ72 ``There is none of you unless he has to enter it, and then We shall save those who have avoided evil.'' Commentators have various ideas about the entry. Some have taken it to mean approaching the Hell in order to see how dreadful it is.

Some others have understood, passing over it through a bridge called SERA"T.
