وثانيها رَحِمِ الاُم قال سبحانه...

وثانيها رَحِمِ الاُم قال سبحانه: (هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ)، وثالِثها مِنَ الرَحِمِ اِلى فَضاءِ الدُّنيا قال عَزَّ مِن قَائِل: (وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا)، وامّا المنازِل الثلاث الَّتي لَم يَقطَعها فَاوّلُها القَبر قال عليه السلام: )القَبرُ اَوَّلُ مَنزِلٍ مِن مَنازِلِ الآخِرَةِ وآخِرُ مَنزِلٍ مِن مَنازِلِ الدُّنيا وثانِيها فَضاءُ المَحشَر) قال سبحانه: (وَعُرِضُوا عَلى رَبِّكَ صَفّاً).

وثالِثَها الجَنَّةُ او النَّار قال سبحانه: (فَرِيقٌ فِي الجَنَّةِ وفَرِيقٌ فِي السَعِير)، ونحن الآن في قَطْعِ مَرحَلَةِ المَنزِلِ الرَّابِع ومُدَّةِ قَطعِها مُدَّةُ عُمرِنا فَايَّامُنا فَراسِخُ وسَاعاتِنا اَميالٌ واَنفَاسُنا خُطُواتٌ فَكَم مِن شَخْصٍ بَقِيَ لَهُ فَراسِخٌ وآخَرُ بَقِيَ لَهُ خُطُوات" 552 ‘Man is a traveler and has six stages (on his jouney): he has passed three and three remain.

The first of those that he has passed is from the concealment of non-existence to the loins of the father and the ribs of the mother. God says in this regard "Coming from between the back and the ribs" [^3] The second stage is the mother's womb. In this regard Allah says: " هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ " "He it is who shapes you in the wombs as He likes; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise".

[^4] And the third stage is the passage from the mother's womb into this world. God has said in this regard: وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا "And the bearing of him and the wearing of him was thirty months" [^5] The three remaining stages include the world of the graves and it is said, "The grave is the first stage of the stages of the Hereafter and the last of the stages of the world." The second stage of the three remaining stages is "Mahshar" or the gathering place of mankind on the Resurrection Day.

God says: "وَعُرِضُوا عَلى رَبِّكَ صَفّا" "And they shall be brought before your Lord, standing in ranks" [^6] And the third of the three remaining stages is either Paradise or Hell. God has said, regarding this: "فَرِيقٌ فِي الجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي السَعِير" "A party shall be in the garden and another party in the burning fire." [^7] And now we are passing through the fourth stage, and the duration of its passage is the duration of our lives.
