surah 41:19-23 Fussilat (Expounded)
"When
Kundalini awakening and Self-Realization has occurred, a
flow of energy in the form of cool vibrations starts flowing
from the hands. This is what is signified in the above
passage. Here Prophet Muhammad is talking of the coming Time
- Time of Resurrection - which is in fact the present Age of
Aquarius or Kundalini Awakening."
Shri
Mataji Nirmala Devi
"THAT DAY SHALL WE SET A SEAL ON THEIR MOUTHS BUT THEIR
HANDS WILL SPEAK TO US, AND THEIR FEET BEAR WITNESS TO ALL
THAT THEY DID."
Al Quran.
Sura Yasin-Chapter 36, Verse 65
Here
again it is very clear, once the ascent or realization takes
place, a person's hands and feet start to speak, bearing
witness against him. Not only the hands and feet but the
whole body starts to speak. All of the rights and the wrongs
that have been done or are being done are known through the
vibrations being emitted from the body. Thus, on the
vibratory level, everything is known, not only about
yourself but also about others.
After realization these vibrations are distinctly felt on
the hands and feet as a cool breeze flowing from within. A
person also gets to know when he is being lied to, or being
manipulated. The mouth stops speaking for the realized
person, as the mouth can lie but the hands start speaking
and the feet bear witness, as everything is revealed through
the vibrations and the vibrations never lie.
This is the time of Qiyamat without a doubt as all the
prophecies in the Quran and the Hadith are coming true. The
experience of Self-realization, ascent and meraj are not
just happening to a few but thousands and thousands of
people throughout the world are experiencing it en masse
through Sahaja Yoga.
The Muslim community is generally highly programmed and
conditioned. It therefore does not look beyond what has been
taught to them by the Mullahs, who themselves,
unfortunately, do not have much foresight and insight. The
Sufis, however, discovered the true essence of Islam and
sought their self-realization and God-realization. They saw
the All Pervading and His love everywhere and in everything.
The Sufis always kept seeking and searching for God. They
knew that this was possible after they had attained their
own Meraj. . . .
Now for the first time in human history, in the presence of
H.H. Mataji Nirmala Devi, thousands of people are
experiencing this great phenomenon en masse, through the
simple process of Sahaja Yoga. Her authority and identity,
along with the truth of all that is written above, can only
be confirmed after one experiences the awakening of
Kundalini (Buraq) and gets self-realization (Meraj). When
the Kundalini passes through Chakras and when the seventh
Chakra, the Sahasrara, is opened, a person achieves
connection with the Divine.
This is the Qiyamat, the time of the Final Judgment. This is
the time the Prophet told the world about. It is just the
matter of recognizing it and ascending within oneself and
through the seven heavens." 1
The Noble
Qur'an makes it clear that the testimony given by sinners in
the court of divine justice will be utterly unique in
nature, bearing absolutely no similarity to the juridical
procedures of this world.
The verses of the Qur'an that speak of the giving of
testimony on the day of resurrection proclaim that the
hands, feet and even the skin of the sinners will disclose
the hidden sins that they committed during their lives and
that were previously unknown to all but God; the sinner will
stand revealed, to his utter dismay and terror. The
animation of these witnesses and the testimony they will
bear to the events that have happened in the world show that
all the deeds we perform are recorded both in the external
world and in the various organs and limbs of our bodies.
When the conditions of this world are replaced by those of
the hereafter, on the day when, as the Qur'an puts it,
"secrets are made manifest and none will be able to conceal
anything or seek help from anyone." (86:9-10) all the
deeds that have been recorded will pour forth and begin to
bear witness.
We can indeed observe in this world a pale and feeble
example of what is meant by things acquiring speech.
A doctor, for example, understands the language of the body.
The rate of the pulse may indicate fever, and yellowness of
the eye proclaims the presence of jaundice. To give another
example, we can tell the age of a tree from the circles
within its trunk.
It is nonetheless true that we cannot know the exact
modality of the testimony that will be given in the
hereafter. However, once the veil is lifted from men's
sight, their power of vision will increase and their level
of perception will be raised. They will embark on a new life
with enhanced means of perception and will see many things
that surrounded them in this world although they were
unaware of them. Thus the Qur'an says:
"You were in a state of negligence; now We have lifted
the veil from you so that your sight is today keen."
(50:22).
Other verses speak of the multiplicity of the witnesses that
will come forward:
"Let them fear a day on which their tongues, their hands
and their feet shall bear testimony against them."
(24:24).
"A day on which all the enemies of God will be drawn into
the fire as they stand next to their destined abode, their
ears, their eyes and the skin on their bodies shall testify
to the sins they have committed. They will address their
limbs in astonishment, saying, `How do you testify
concerning our deeds' They will answer, `God who gave speech
to all creatures has also given us speech. First He created
you, and now He brings you back to Him. You concealed your
ugly deeds not in order that your ears, eyes and skins
should not give witness today, but because you imagined God
unaware of what you hid from other men. It is this
groundless assumption that has brought about your perdition,
for today you are in the ranks of the losers."
(41:19-23).

"The
Arabic word for "teach" and "knowledge" are from the
same root. It is impossible to produce in a
translation the complete orchestral harmony of the
word "read", "teach", "pen" (which implies reading,
writing, books, study, research), "knowledge"
(including science, self knowledge, spiritual
understanding), and "proclaim", an alternative meaning
of the word for "to read". This proclaiming or reading
implies not only the duty of blazoning forth Allah's
message, as going with the prophetic office, but also
the duty of promulgation and wide dissemination of the
Truth by all those who read and understand it. The
comprehensive meaning of qara'
refers not only to a particular person and
occasion but also gives a universal direction. And
this kind of comprehensive meaning, as we have seen,
runs throughout the Qur'an - for those who will
understand."

This verse stresses that man is unable, in the last resort,
to conceal the sins he has committed with his limbs. This is
not because he under estimates his bodily form, which in the
end turns out to have been a means for recording his deeds,
but because he imagines that things are essentially
autonomous and that much of what he has done will be beyond
the reach of God's knowledge. It is this unawareness of the
fact that nothing in creation is hidden to God that casts
men into the pit of eternal wretchedness.
The Qur'an further proclaims:
"Today We place the seal of silence on the mouths of the
unbelievers and transgressors. Their hands shall speak to
us, and their feet shall bear witness to what they have
done." (36:65).
Imam al-Sadiq, upon whom be peace, said the following in
clarification of this matter:
"When men are gathered together before God on the day of
resurrection, everyone will be given the record of his
deeds. When they see the list of their crimes and their
sins, they will begin to deny them and they will refuse to
confess. Then the angels will bear witness to those sins
having occurred, but still the sinners will swear that they
have done none of the deeds of which they are accused. This
is referred to in the verse, `On the day when God shall
resurrect them all and they will swear lyingly to God as
they once swore lyingly to you' (58:18). It is then that
God will place a seal on their tongues and cause their
bodies to begin speaking about what they have done." (Tafsir
al-Qummi, p. 552)
Irrefutable witness
Even more remarkable is the fact that the deeds man has
performed will themselves take shape before his astonished
eyes. This must definitely be regarded as the most veracious
form of testimony possible; it closes off before the
offender any defense, deception or flight from chastisement,
and strips him of denial and sophistry. No crime remain
unproven, and the sinners will be overtaken by shame and
humiliation.
The Qur'an says:
"On the day of resurrection they will find whatever they
have done confronting them." (18:49).
Or again:
"There will be a day on which everyone who has done a
good deed will find it confronting him, and those who have
done evil will wish that it were kept far distant from them.
God warns you against His punishment for He is in truth
compassionate toward His servants" (3:30).
Since it is impossible for deeds to disappear in the
hereafter, the most that sinners can hope for is that a
distance be maintained between them and their deeds, a clear
expression of their disgust with what they them selves have
done.
In addition to all the forgoing, and still more important
than it, God describes Himself as the witness to all the
deeds of men:
"Why do they not believe in the signs of God? He is a
witness to all that you do." (3:98).
The Qur'an also mentions the prophets and those who have
drawn close to God as witnesses to man's deeds:
"The earth will shine with the light of its Lord. The
record of men's deeds will be brought forth and the prophets
and the martyrs shall be summoned to bear witness and judge
among men so that none shall be wronged." (39:69).
It should be borne in mind that such witness and testimony
will not be restricted to the outer aspect of men's deeds.
What is meant is rather testimony to the quality of deeds
with respect to their good or their evil, and whether they
represented obedience or sin: in short, the inner aspect of
deeds.
The giving of witness on the day of resurrection is a sign
of honor and respect for those who are called upon, but it
also indicates that while in this world they had a certain
awareness of men's inner beings, that they were able to
observe them just like their outer beings and thus to record
their deeds with precision and inerrancy. It is obvious that
conventional knowledge and sense perception are quite
inadequate for testimony of this kind; it depends on a more
profound mode of awareness that is able to embrace the inner
dimensions of man, an awareness that transcends our normal
capacities and permits an unfailing distinction to be made
between the pure and the impure.
Such testimony is based upon a clear vision of reality, and
as such it is infallible.
The Qur'an says:
"Tell men that whatever they do God will display to them
whatever they do, and the Messenger and the believers are
aware of it. Then they shall return to God Who knows the
hidden and the manifest, so that they will be requited for
their good and their evil." (9:105).
According to commentaries on the Qur'an, what is meant here
by "the believers" is the Inerrant Imams from the Household
of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his
family. They are distinguished from other Godfearing people
by the special grace and favor they have received from in
that they are both inwardly pure and have been utterly
purified by God. It is for this reason that the giving of
testimony in the hereafter has not been vouchsafed to all
men of piety.
Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, said in a certain
tradition:
"No group or class of men can bear witness to the deeds of
men except the Inerrant Imams and the prophets of God. The
generality of the community has not been described by God as
witnesses, because in this world there are people whose
testimony cannot be trusted even for a handful of grass." (Tafsir
al-Mizan, Vol. I, p. 332)
All the deeds of men have a profound effect on their beings.
If someone knows that injustice and crime are sinful but
nonetheless engages in them at the behest of his instinctual
nature, a contradiction will arise in his inner being that
will burn and torment him profoundly. But is it not he who
has created this contradiction?
If envy gnaws away at a man's inner being, is anyone
responsible apart from himself?
Imam al-Sadiq, upon whom be peace, said:
"Sin cuts more deeply than a knife." (Bihar al-Anwar,
Vol. LXXIII, p. 358)
All of our words and deeds are stored in the vast and
mysterious archive of our body and our soul, and they will
be brought forth in the tribunal of resurrection. The
totality of our acts, good and bad, are stored up within us
and will ultimately take shape to confront us.
The reckoning of men's deeds that will take place in the
hereafter will, then, be utterly unique. No one may hope to
obfuscate the truth or to deny the contents of the precise
record that is laid before him. Everyone will be compelled
to accept the truth and to submit to its consequences. The
hands, the feet and the skin will be called on to give
witness; God from Whose knowledge not at single atom in the
heavens and earth is hidden and Who is aware of the falling
of leaf from a tree, will also be a witness; and the
prophets and the Imams will bear their witness to whatever
we have wrought.
It is obvious that it is impossible for us now to understand
and perceive fully all these dimensions of the inevitable
reckoning that will follow resurrection." 2
On the Day of Judgment there will be absolutely no
requirement for human testimony. Allah will judge all humans
through the vibrations issuing from all parts of their
bodies, an absolutely flawless method of Divine Judgment
devoid of any error. That is precisely what the Qur'an means
when it says that "their hands will speak to Us."
At
present on Earth these vibrations are used during the
Resurrection for spiritual self-cleansing, getting rid of
bad habits and vices, healing others, verifying Truth,
meditation, confirming God's guidance from within
(self-reproaching Spirit), and so
on. These vibrations are only felt when the physical body
begins its slow, subtle metamorphosis into the spirit after
Self-realization during the present Resurrection. These same
vibrations (Kundalini) will one day testify for or against its owner
in the Hereafter.
All souls will be judged
through vibrations after their physical deaths during Qiyamah through their own
Kundalini. This massive record of one's deed on Earth can be easily read through
vibrations issuing forth from their bodies. There will be no need for
self-defense, cross-examination, evidence, witnesses, judge, jury or anything
else whatsoever. God Almighty has already built the instrument of the Last
Judgment within all humans - the Kundalini in the human body will bear
witness for or against it's owner!
This absolutely flawless Divine Judgment, whereby testimony is given by the most
veracious of witnesses i.e., the human body itself, is described in the Qur'an as;
On that Day that the enemies
of Allah will be gathered together to the Fire, they will be marched in ranks.
At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their sight, and their
skins [4487]
Will bear witness against them as to (all) their deeds.
They will say to their skins: "Why bear ye witness against us?" [4488]
They will say: "Allah hath given us speech - (He) who giveth speech to
everything:
He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return.
"Ye did not seek to hide yourselves,
4489 lest your hearing, your sight, and your
skins, should bear witness against you!
But ye did think that Allah knew not many of the things that ye used to do!
But this thought of yours which ye did entertain concerning your Lord, hath
brought you to destruction,
And (now) have ye become of those utterly lost!"
surah
41:19-23 Fussilat (Expounded)
"4487. All the members
of their bodies and the faculties of their minds, which they
misused, will bear witness against them. Similarly, in
36:65, their hands and their feet bear witness against them.
Their "skin" not only includes the sense of touch (which is
so often misused in sex), but also the sense of taste and
the sense of smell, which are specialised forms of the organ
of touch. All the sensory organs, and all their intellectual
and emotional counterparts advance us by their use and pull
us down by their misuse. They become tell-tale witnesses
against us if abused.
4488. A new phase of
their existence will now dawn on them. They used to think
that if they concealed their evil deeds from the rest of the
world, nothing would happen to them! But Allah can give
"tongues to trees", and can make every fact of life, known
and unknown to the world, contribute to the elucidation of
truth and justice. "Speech" on behalf of their senses and
faculties should of course be understood figuratively. When
we succumb to evil, our limbs and faculties betray us.
4489. The limbs and
faculties will say: "You did not seek to hide your evil from
us: in fact you used us for your evil, because we were in
your power. Did you know not that Allah knew everything and
that our knowledge would be evidence against you?"
Abdullah Yusuf
Ali, The Holy Qur'an
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali,
The Holy Qur'an, Amanna Corp., 1989.)
And (make
mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered
unto the Fire,
They are
driven on till, when they reach it, their ears and their
eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they
used to do.
And they
say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They say:
Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things,
and Who created you at the first, and unto Whom ye are
returned.
Ye did
not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your
skins should testify against you,
But ye
deemed that Allah knew not much of what ye did.
That,
your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath ruined
you; And ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost.
surah
41:19-23 Fussilat
(M. Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Quran.)
And on the day that the enemies of Allah shall be brought together to the fire,
then they shall be formed into groups.
Until when they come to it, their ears and their eyes and their skins shall bear
witness against them as to what they did.
And they shall say to their skins: Why have you borne witness against us?
They shall say: Allah Who makes everything speak has made us speak,And He
created you at first, and to Him you shall be brought back.And you did not veil
yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should bear witness
against you,But you thought that Allah did not know most of what you did.And
that was your (evil) thought which you entertained about your Lord,
That has tumbled you down into perdition, so are you become of the lost ones.
surah 41:19-23 Fussilat
(Muhammed Shakir, The Holy Qur'an)
"This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned!
Embrace ye the (Fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently)
rejected (Truth)." 4011
That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths.
But their hands will speak to Us,
And their feet will bear witness to all that they did.
surah 36:
63-65 Ya Sin
"4011. The
ungodly will now be dumbfounded. They will be unable to
speak or offer any defence. (The consequences of all acts,
which follow according to Allah's Law, are, in Quranic
language, attributed to Allah.) But their silence will not
matter. Their own hands and feet will speak against them.
"Hands and feet" in this connection are symbolical of all
the instruments for action which they were given in this
life, including their faculties and opportunities. The same
extended meaning is to be understood for "eyes" in the
following verse. Cf. also 41:20-21, where eyes, ears,
and skins are all mentioned as bearing witness against such
as misused them."
Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an
(Abdullah
Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amanna Corporation,
1989.)
This is
hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him).
Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved.
This day We seal up their mouths,
And their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness
as to what they used to earn.
surah 36:63-65 Ya Sin
(M. Pickthall, Meaning of the Glorious Quran)
This is
the hell with which you were threatened.
Enter into it this day because you disbelieved.
On that day We will set a seal upon their mouths,
And their hands shall speak to Us,
And their feet shall bear witness of what they earned.
surah
36:63-65 Ya Sin
(Muhammed Shakir, The Holy Qur'an)
After realization these vibrations are distinctly felt on
the hands, head and other parts of the body as a cool breeze flowing from within. A
person also gets to know when he is told truth, lied or being
manipulated. Instead the hands start speaking
and bear witness, as everything is revealed through the
vibrations which never lie.

This is the time of Qiyamat without a doubt as all the
prophecies in the Quran and the Hadith are coming true. The
experience of Self-realization, ascent and meraj are not
just happening to a few but tens of thousands of
people throughout the world are experiencing it en masse
through Sahaja Yoga.
According to Abdullah Yusuf Ali
"Man's
insolence leads to two results: (1) self-destruction through
self-misleading; (2) a false example of false guidance to
others. The righteous man must therefore test human example or
human guidance by the question, "Is there Allah's guidance
behind this?" And visible light should be thrown on it by the
question, "Does it lead to righteousness?" . . . The usual trick
of the ungodly is to refuse to face the Truth. If they are
placed in a corner, they deny what is obvious to reasonable men
and turn their backs."
"All
our duties to our fellow creatures are referred to service and faith
we own to Allah. But in the matter of truth an appeal is made to our
own self-respect as responsible beings: is it becoming that we should
be false to our own word, to ourselves? And then we are reminded that
the utmost we can gain by falsifying Allah's word or being untrue to
ourselves is but a miserable price. We get at best something very
paltry as the price for selling our very souls."

Perhaps Abdullah Yusuf Ali
and his theologians should themselves answer their own question to
the Ummah regarding interpretation of critical parts of the Qur'an,
especially on esoteric issues beyond their comprehension or experience. It i
sthey who should ask: "Is
there Allah's guidance behind this?"
There is no
lack of irony in his words: "And then we are reminded that the
utmost we can gain by falsifying Allah's word or being untrue to
ourselves is but a miserable price. We get at best something
very paltry as the price for selling our very souls."
May
the Ummah reflect again on the irony of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's enlightenment, and the precipitous fall and eternal damnation
that awaits all who defy the Great Event of Al-Qiyamah. Please
reflect and see for yourself what the Holy Qur'an actually says.
Do not be misled by human error and falsehood.
