....Let
us remember an important fact!
....Everything is under the control
and command of Allah Almighty. So too is the decay of our bodies;
it is neither aimless nor chaotic.
....Allah Almighty says:
...."We know indeed what the earth
diminishes of them, and with Us is a writing that preserves."
(Qaf, 4)
....As the stages of growth of a
baby in the womb are under the control and command of Allah Almighty,
so too are the stages of decay. Allah Almighty may allow some
bodies to decay. And He may protect some bodies from decay until
the Hereafter.
....It has been observed that the
bodies of the prophets, great friends of Allah, and martyrs who
have died for the sake of Allah have not decayed. For instance,
in 1948, the authorities decided to transfer the tomb of Yunus
Emre, a great friend of Allah, that was situated near the railway
between Ankara and Eskižehir to another place. For this reason,
after 700 years they opened his tomb. What those thousands witnessed
was that the corpse of Yunus Emre was still fresh; it was as if
he were sleeping in his bed with his hand over his chest.
....Let us look at the resurrection
of human beings:
....Allah Almighty says:
...."Those who disbelieve think
that they shall never be raised. Say: Aye! by my Lord! you shall
most certainly be raised, then you shall most certainly be informed
of what you did; and that is easy to Allah." (Teghabun, 7)
....Yes, indeed Allah Almighty will
inform us of what human beings did and give them what they deserve.
Let us look first at the creation of human beings:
