imperceptibly turning to the right. I had only gone a short distance
when I was engulfed in a cloud of colour and Nur. A melange of rainbow
colours started glittering around me. I kept moving forward in total
peace and confidence. Suddenly a sheet of Nur went right through me.
Along with that, every single pore of my entire being was immersed in a
feeling of utter joy and ecstasy. I felt as if I was flying with the
breeze. My body felt light and weightless. I felt as if my body had
dissolved and I was left only in the form of my soul.
Enraptured, I moved forward. In a short while, the same milky white
passage was in front of me. I kept on walking through it. I could feel a
Sea change in my feelings. I felt that I had metamorphosed
tremendously. I treaded along with an indescribable feeling of strength,
power, peace, composure, and confidence.
As I walked in this state, I had to stop suddenly. I was at a juncture
with eight different paths. There was an inscription on every path
detailing as to which particular door of paradise it led to. As I was trying
to read the inscription, I heard a voice:
“Enter through the door for Shuhada.”
I noticed that the first door on the right was for the prophets; the
door adjacent to it was for Siddiqeen and the one next to it was for the
Shuhada. I entered that door.
It was also a passage that ended at a door. I exited through that
door. Before I could look around, I saw Saleh standing in front
of me. There was an angel standing next to him. Rather than Saleh, the
angel stepped forward and welcomed me.
“Assalam-o-Alaikum
, I welcome you to the community of ever-
lasting Paradise. Saleh has given me your Book of Deeds. In this book,
your name is given as Abdullah. However, there are so many awards
and titles along with it that I cannot decide how to address you.”
Saleh intervened and said:
“I think for the moment Lord Abdullah should suffice. It is because
after Lord Abdullah’s death, God sent me to welcome him by saying,
“bring my servant Abdullah to me. He is a leader.”
“Ok, Lord Abdullah! Welcome to the never-ending kingdom.” The
angel shook hands with me as he said these words.
“And what is the name of our host?” I enquired about the angel
from Saleh.
“He is not the host. He is the gate keeper and his name is Rizwan.”
Rizwan spoke laughingly, “You are the host here, Lord Abdullah.
This is your dominion. Take a look around you.”
I looked around and realised that I had entered a new world. The
sky and the earth over here had changed dramatically. Comprising of a
new Earth and a new Sky, this world most definitely was complete in
every respect. However, I could not find the words to describe its
beauty and absolute perfection. All my life, I had enjoyed an
outstanding ability to explain situations using my exceptional command
on language. Words served at my will and expressions were revealed to
me almost supernaturally. God had given me the ability to easily explain
even the most complex realities. However, at this moment I realised
that any language of the previous world was incapable of explaining
what was in front of me. My situation was similar to someone from the
Stone Age suddenly finding himself in one of the modern cities of the
Industrial Age. A person used to burning wood for lighting his cave
would have been unable to find words to describe rainbow displays of
laser and luminescent tube lights since there would be no expressions
for those modern inventions in his vocabulary. I was experiencing a
similar condition.
===============
Noticing my bewilderment, Saleh said:
“Lord Abdullah, there are many more things waiting to captivate
you. It would be better to continue the journey towards your
destination.”
Rizwan pointed at a path and said:
“This way, Sir. Your residence is in that direction.”
