THE QURAN

ALLATRA

Soul

Surah 3:185. Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire].

Surah 6:164. Every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.

Surah 10:57. O mankind, there has to come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers.

Surah 6:125. So whoever Allah wants to guide – He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He wants to misguide – He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky.

Surah 15:26. We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud. 

Surah 15:29. And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration. 

Surah 17:85. And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, “The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little.” 

That wild beast of which the dress is woven fears just its master, just the Soul. But many fear the Soul more than the beast; the Soul that hinders their lives just like the clothing hinders mines. I cannot understand such people. To waste the whole Eternity on only one moment? What is the point? To suffer in the arms of the beast’s skin, to serve the pants decaying day by day. Is life like this? Life is infinite! It has no suffering; it does not tear, for it’s impossible to wear out the Soul. The clothing has no Home; there’s just a closet where it is temporarily kept. Only the Soul has a true Home. And it’s the Soul that, yearning for Eternity, begets the sense of Home, for which man searches his entire life.

So, what is the Soul? As I have said before, the Soul is true antimatter, a particle from the outside – from the spiritual world, the world of God. The Soul is a constituent of a human being only. It is a person’s major potential, a portal, and a direct connection of every person with the spiritual world. It is present in neither plants, nor animals, nor any other matter including rational matter. The Soul enters the emerging energy structure of a human being on the eighth day after the birth of the physical body (of a newborn baby). If we take the physical body structure, the Soul is located approximately in the solar plexus area, i.e. in the actual centre of a human being. Yet, the Soul is neither the solar plexus, nor the heart, nor any other physical organ or system; neither it is the brain, the mind, consciousness, thinking, intellect or mental abilities. All the aforesaid is neither a product nor a property of the Soul, for all this applies to the material world. Surgical removal, transplantation of various organs of one’s physical body (e.g. of one’s heart) or blood transfusion have nothing to do with the Soul. I emphasise that it is located in the energy structure of a human being and not in the physical part of such structure. Each human being has one Soul. It is single and indivisible. There is no difference between the Soul of a man and of a woman: the Soul has no gender. Souls of all people are identical in their nature. And in this sense we can say that people are very close and kindred to each other. The Soul is not matter; it neither wears out, nor gets old or sick. It is perfect in relation to the material world, but not sufficiently individually perfect in relation to the world of God.

The Soul does not belong to the material world; it originates from a completely different world – the world of Eternity...

The Soul is what is real in a human being; it is the main component on which the entire structure is based! Everything else is just additional information for development. Once the spiritual Personality matures and merges with the Soul (undergoes spiritual liberation), this information is simply dedifferentiated, i.e. ceases to exist as an organised structure.

The Soul is confined in the middle of this structure in a sort of light cocoon. It is located approximately in the lower third part of the structure, and if we refer to the physical body it is at the level of the solar plexus and the upper abdomen. By the way, since ancient times in the East the Soul in a cocoon has been symbolically depicted as a pearl in a shell. It was a symbol of human spiritual evolution, which is hidden from the eyes inside one’s structure. It was a miracle of Revival. Its nacreous whiteness symbolised spiritual purity, wisdom, perfection, and sacred knowledge. It should be noted that this associative comparison of the Soul with a pearl can be traced in all world religions.

Reincarnation

Surah 4:56. Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses – We will drive them into a Fire. Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted in Might and Wise. 

Surah 6:122. And is one who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness, never to emerge therefrom? Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing. 

Surah 13:5. And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] – then astonishing is their saying, “When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?” Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

Surah 17:98. That is their recompense because they disbelieved in Our verses and said, “When we are bones and crumbled particles, will we [truly] be resurrected [in] a new creation?” 

Surah 22:66. And He is the one who gave you life; then He causes you to die and then will [again] give you life. Indeed, mankind is ungrateful.

Surah 23:82. They said, “When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?”

Anastasia: Yes, the meaning is deep. It turns out that Jibrail spoke about the activity of the four Aspects in relation to a human being. That is, if a person gives attention and wishes for what the Right, Left and Rear Aspects suggest him or her, the person will get what he or she desires. However, later on he or she will have to answer for one’s own choice via sufferings, having become a subpersonality in reincarnations (“in hell”, “burn there outcast and despised”) and burdening the Soul with further enslavements in matter. At that, if a person wants to break the cycle of earthly reincarnation and escape into Eternity of the spiritual world, and tries to do everything in one’s power during one’s life to evolve spiritually so that this earthly life becomes the Last for him or her, then such person does have a chance to be accepted in the spiritual world... Well, such wise lives of the Qur’an truly reflect the spiritual essence that has come down to our times from the depths of ages.

Anastasia: So, if during one’s lifetime a Personality mostly chose the Animal Nature, activating mainly its Rear and Lateral Aspects, then in fact it became a “sealed” subpersonality, whereas the Soul was again immersed in the material world of the Animal Mind, i.e. its reincarnation and another confinement in a material body took place...

Rigden: Indeed, the Soul was again confined, using the language of religions, into “hell”. In Ancient Egypt, for example, this was symbolically depicted as devouring (swallowing) of the Soul by the monster named Amat. This monster personified the animal world of rational matter, moreover indicating the three dimensions of the world where the Soul was sent. In particular, Amat had the traits of three animals: a crocodile, a lion and a hippopotamus. That is, simply put, the Soul was sent to reincarnation, returning once again to the earthly life of the three-dimensional world.

Attitude to other religions

Surah 2:285. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”

Surah 5:69. Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muhammad] and those [before Him] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians – those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness – no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. 

Surah 5:82. You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. 

Surah 22:67. For every religion We have appointed rites which they perform. So, [O Muhammad], let the disbelievers not contend with you over the matter but invite them to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.

Surah 42:13. He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus – to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].

Surah 46:12.And before it was the scripture of Moses to lead and as a mercy. And this is a confirming Book in an Arabic tongue to warn those who have wronged and as good tidings to the doers of good.

People look at tree crowns, but they don’t see the roots, while the essence is as follows: all people are equal and, first of all, in the conditions of imprisonment in this material world, in the characteristics of their spiritual and animal natures, the transience of their lives, and the temporariness of their stay in this world! All people are born and die alone and all have their own spiritual destiny which they themselves form via their own choice. All people are kind by their Spiritual Nature, because everyone has a Soul. Hence, everyone is dear and very near to each other, since all Souls are united, having come from the world of God, and this unites all people, regardless of their social status, place of residence, religious beliefs or nationality of their bodies.

Priests have given God various “names” while establishing one or another religion for themselves. Furthermore, they still make people fight and be at enmity with each other for the superiority of their religions and the “name” of God, for their dominance over rival religions and, consequently, their sole right to speak “on behalf” of God. Due to different epithets as well as intentionally different interpretations by priests, people mistakenly believe there are different highest gods. Yet, today all the different “names” of God are in fact mere epithets, which in ancient times meant the One in place of the forbidden name of God.

Secular life

Surah 4:77. Say, The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who fears Allah.

Surah 6:32. And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?

Surah 9:38. O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little.

Surah 9:55. So let not their wealth or their children impress you. Allah only intends to punish them through them in worldly life and that their souls should depart [at death] while they are disbelievers. 

Surah 14:3. The ones who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter and avert [people] from the way of Allah, seeking to make it (seem) deviant.  Those are in extreme error.

Surah 17:72. And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way. 

Surah 18:7-8. Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed. And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground. 

Surah 18:46. Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope.

Surah 20:131. And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoinment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendour of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

Surah 42:20. Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter – We increase for him in his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of this world – We give him thereof, but there is not for him in the Hereafter any share.

Surah 42:36. So whatever thing you have been given – it is but [for] enjoyment of the worldly life. But what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who have believed and upon their Lord rely.

Surah 57:20. Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children – like the example of rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoinment of delusion. 

In this illusory world, everything is fleeting like a mirage in the desert. So everything that we possess in the physical world has no value, for it is transient. We must hurry to learn to feel via the Soul and comprehend the beautiful, because everything in this material world, including human life, is nothing but foam bubbles on the sea sand. Man feels that he is not just a two-legged creature, that there is something much greater inside him, and that his inner world is different from the world around him. Inside him, there is a Soul – a particle from the outside – from the spiritual world. It has a single vector of movement, a single desire. The Soul actually seeks to escape from this world. It aspires to go to God, to its own world. However, in the material world conditions this aspiration, this deep inner feeling that originates from the Soul encounters human consciousness, whereas human consciousness interprets such strong deep inner impulses already in a different way, based on the knowledge and experience gained in this life. And here a very important role is played by the person’s dominant worldview and knowledge of the world and oneself.

Present-day people should understand that no matter what religion they belong to, or even if they consider themselves outside religion independently following the spiritual path, it is necessary to pray only for salvation of their own Soul and really work on themselves every day. You should put your Animal Nature on the altar of your life, giving up the multitude of its desires and illusory intentions, since it’s the only sacrifice which is acceptable to God (no matter what epithets people call Him by) and which opens for a person a spiritual way into His world.

Mentions of RA

Surah 12:1. Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book.

Surah 13:1. Alif, Lam, Meem, Ra. These are the verses of the Book, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most of the people do not believe.

Surah 14:1. Alif, Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that you might bring mankind out of darkness into the light by permission of their Lord – to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy. 

Surah 15:1. Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qu’ran. 

As I said before, initially the designation of the One was given to people not by His name, but rather by the Ra sound that symbolised the concept of “the Single, the Eternal (Supreme)”.

This sign indicates that this power belongs to the One who created everything in the Universe. I have already said that a long time ago people denoted the concept of “the Single Supreme” (the Single Eternal) with the Ra sound, from where later on with the emergence of priesthood a deity named Ra appeared, who according to legends emerged from a lotus flower that had risen from the world ocean.
