Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
Imagine the REALITY:
If you embark on a ship or a bus or a train or a plane, where do you go?
You go where the ship or the bus or the train or the plane takes you, don’t you?
How’s that? Because you embark on a moving vehicle which transports you!
Then, don’t you know, this earth also a moving vehicle, on the run?
Put yourself on a deck of the earth where you can see only the horizon before your eyes and nothing else but the space beyond the horizon.
And I know you go to places but did you ever try to put yourself on the deck of the earth?
Next time you go places, try hard to find a deck and embark on your transport, the Earth!
Do you wonder what do I mean by the ‘deck’ of the earth?
Do you remember the one who boarded on a largest ship which sailed through Atlantic and then he went to the forefront of the deck where he finds nothing but the sky over him and the ocean underneath? What a overwhelming moments that was for him that he opened his hands to the horizon and the word of truimphs came out from his mouth, ‘I am the king of the world’!
Can you not find such a place on the earth where you find yourself in the same sitution? Yeah! Even you find the same place but you need imagination that you are on a running earth (108,000 km/hr).
Yes! You need imagination, a strong one, to feel that you embarked on the biggest vehicle that you are attached in physically, practically, scientifically.
And don’t you know it is transporting you somewhere in the space?
So, where does it take you?
It is where the Solar System, basically the Sun transporting it to, true?
Because the earth has set its path on the solar system, around the Sun (108,000 km/hr)
And you know that the Sun also is on the move. (720,000 km/hr)
So, where does the Sun takes the earth and take you with it?
It is again where the Milky Way Galaxy transporting it to, right?
Because the Sun has set its path around the Milky Way Galaxy, around the black hole in the centre of it.
And you know that the Milky Way Galaxy also on the move, don’t you? (2.1 million km/hr)
Imagine the FANTASY:
So, where is the Milky Way Galaxy heading to?
Towards the edge of the universe, does it?
And what’s there at the edge of the universe that it is heading for?
And what’s there at the edge of the universe that it is taking you to?
What do you know?
What’s there at the edge of the universe that the Milky Way Galaxy would drop the Sun off?
What’s there at the edge of the Universe that the Sun would drop the Earth off?
And What’s there at the edge of the Universe that the Earth would drop YOU off?
What do you know?
Imagine the CERTAINTY of UNSEEN:
It is only to drop you off to one of the TWO destinations, one of the two Universes.
And they are called the Universe of Hell and a cluster of Universes called Paradise. (Saheeh Al-Bukhari 2581)
But before your vehicle (the earth) delivers you,
it transforms (when the earth is labelled) into a different vehicle (structure) (Al-Quran 14:48) for the purpose it is transporting you to.
Is it very hard to imagine when you have so much fantasy of transforming vehicles that you and your children engrossed in?
So, what’s the purpose of all these huge vehicles (Earth, Sun, Galaxy) transporting you in such unthinkable speed to such far place?
What’s the purpose of this transformation of your own vehicle (the earth) before the final delivery of its passengers?
It is for a heart-overthrowing event, it is for a catastrophic event (Al-Quran 79:6-9), it is to a COURT room. (Al-Quran 78:38-39)
All human beings, the jinns and the animals are being transported for that purpose to the edge of the universe.
That’s where you heading since you been reading this. And Allah knows best.
So, what could make you understand this reality?
What could give you a certain knowledge about it?
What could make you take it as REALITY?
What do you know?
Know the Certain Info:
There are seven universes, one after another beyond which are the universe of Hell and the universe of paradise located. But you don’t need to know much about those other 6 universes for now, which are in between your travel path.
Because all these seven universes will be ripped off (Al-Quran 82:1, 81:11)
and those TWO universes (Hell and Paradise) will be brought to display before your eyes! (Al-Quran 81:12-14)
What will remain is your original vehicle, the earth.
But it will be transformed (Al-Quran 14:48) as you see now in the fantasy of transforming vehicles.
And you would be taken in one of the universes for a final ride for eternity.
And unfortunately, for many, they have to visit both universes!
May Allah save us from Jahannam!
Know the source of the Certain Knowledge:
So, who can give you this certain knowledge?
It is only from the creator of the Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way Galaxy, the Universe and the creator of the Universe of Hell and the Universe of Paradise that can give you certain knowledge about it!
The universe(!) or the Multiverses as Layers:
The creator of you has created 7 Universes
Al-Quran 67:3. Allah Ajja Wa Jalla says:
“It is He who created seven heavens in layers.”
and the Quran 67:5 says:
“And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars”
So, you can see Allah refers ‘the nearest heaven’ decorated with stars,
What do we understand and know about the ‘heaven’ that contains ‘stars’?
Isn’t it this universe, as we know it?
And He, Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says, there’s seven of those heavens (76:3), SubhanAllah!
So, our Imagination of reality only dropping us to the edge of the one universe.
What about the other universes? Where are they located?
It is again in the same verse of Al-Quran that tells you, “Seven heavens in LAYERS”
And what do you understand from that?
“Layer” could mean ‘one after another’, or ‘one above another’ or ‘one around another’, like the layers of the petals of a flower, or layers of onions etc.
The meaning of “LAYER” which derived from the Arabic word gives the following meaning in the modern Arabic English dictionary ‘Al Mawrid’ as Stairs, Tier, Floor, accord with etc.
But yet we have more data about those 6 layers.
Jannah, the Universe:
And He, Al-Khallaq created a Paradise whose size is expanded from the earth to the heavens (where ‘heaven’ is always referred in the Quran as the sky)
Quran 3:133 and 57:21 says the following:
Quran 57:21
“Race toward forgiveness from your RABB and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers.”
Quran 3:133
“And hasten to forgiveness from your RABB and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous”
So, what do you understand from this?
What is heaven or sky mean to us? It is the universe that we are part of, isn’t it?
Therefore, Jannah is described like the size of the universe we know!
The Layers of the Universe called Paradise:
It was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2581) that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“In Paradise there are one hundred levels that Allaah has prepared for the Mujaahideen who do Jihad for the sake of Allaah. (The distance) between each two levels is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. When you ask of Allaah, ask Him for al-Firdaws for it is in the middle of Paradise and is the highest part of Paradise. Above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful and from it spring forth the rivers of Paradise.”
This Hadith even means that there are 100 of universes which are prepared for the Mujahedeen only. And these 100 universes even not the entire of the size of the Paradise! SubhanAllah!
And Allah knows best!
And the other relative information:
Al-Dhahabi narrated in al-‘Alw (al-Mukhtasar, 35) that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr said:
“Allaah created the water above the seven heavens, and He created the Throne above the water.”
Shaykh al-Albaani said: Its isnaad is saheeh.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (4/203):
“The Throne is the roof of creation and the greatest of created things.”
The same was stated by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 6/581, 25/1998.
It was also stated by Ibn Katheer in al-Badaayah wa’l-Nahaayah, 1/9, 11;
and by Ibn Abi’l-‘Izz in Sharh al-‘Aqeedah al-Tahhaawiyyah, 1/311.
From Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:
‘I have been given permission to speak about one of the angels of Allah who carry the Throne. The distance between his ear-lobes and his shoulders is equivalent to a seven-hundred-year journey.’”
[Abu Dawood].
Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“The seven Heavens compared to the Kursee (the footstool) is like a ring which is thrown into a desert. And such is the magnitude of the ‘Arsh (the Throne of Allah) compared with the Kursee.”
Saheeh: Related by Ibn Abee Shaybah in Kitaabul-‘Arsh (1/114)
and al-Bayhaqee in as-Asmaa was-Sifaat (p.290), from Abu Dharr (radiAllahu ‘anhu).
The hadeeth is authentic due to its various routes of transmission-as Shaykh al-Albaanee has explained in as-Saheeh (no.109).
Reported by Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
‘I see what you do not see and hear what you do not hear. The heaven makes a noise like groaning, and it has the right to (or it is no surprise), for there is no space in it the width of four fingers, but there is an angel there, placing his forehead in sujood (prostration) to Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, you would not enjoy your relationships with women and you would go out in the street praying to Allah.’”
[ al-Tirmidhi]
