Salaam Alaikum!


I had a similar-albeit fruitful-discussion about this with my future "partner." Some time ago, she asked me my opinion on the anthropological view of death. I responded: There are voluminous views on death anthropologically, philosophically, neurologically, etc.each thus having their own robust arguments. It essentially comes down to faith.


I'll repeat what I said to her that night. There are no convincing arguments for or against the Islamic view of death whether it be from a social—philosophic—psychological discipline; we'll all have to wait until the big sleep to unearth the answer, won't we?

no we won't "or shouldn't"...it's the thin line between faith and skepticism you are talking about here.


Faith : believe before you reach and see.


skepticism : don't believe until you reach and see.


but i was thinking of something reagrding the life - after - death. well..i believe in it because it's in the Quran and because a man i trust more than myself said its a fact.....prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him)


but there is a theory i was thinking of......similarty between death and sleeping


death is sitution when the soul depart the body completly....as it is not bounded by the body anymore it can move to Al Barzakh......


while sleeping is the situtuion when the soul partialy depart the body and that cause what can be called a disorder "maybe not the proper word" where the soul try to step into al Barzakh...sneak...talk a look through key holes....and thats what dreaming is about........


so i believe that deat will be as you said...a big sleep.


i based that on the following verse.


الله يتوفى الأنفس حين موتها والتي لم تمت في منامها فيمسك التي قضى عليها الموت ويرسل الأخرى إلى أجل مسمى إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون


when i read "يتفكرون" , "يعقلون" و "اولي الالباب" in a verse i feel execited....God want us to understand something very important from this verse!


anyway...its just a theory...by me...and me not a scholar...me not an Imam..me Just a simple guy
