Salamun Alaikum! Brothers and Sister!
Knowledge is something what we obtain in the result of some questioning to ourselves or to the people around us. Most probably everyone of us has the first question to himself/herself is "WHO AM I or WHAT I AM"? Identifying our own selves is of much importance in our LIVES. When I questioned myself the same question, I got no satisfactory answer. Everything I learnt and believed was from the sayings of others around me which look like MYSELF. They told me that I am a HUMAN BEING انسان and I was satisfied with such witnesses. But when I started researching Quran and learnt that everything requires proof. We should deny the Hadiths of People and get proof from Quran or some said evidence from science is required. So this question again raised to my mind. Do I have a proof that I am a HUMAN? Maybe I am a JINN.
A majority of people thinks that JINNS are shape shifter. Let's watch a few images of 'facial expression' with the help of Google Images and see for ourselves. Are we shape shifter JINNS?
Some say we cannot see JINNS. Why? Because WE are JINNS?
Science says that Human Beings have 5 senses while Allah has told in QURAN that HUMANS are given the following senses/organs and these senses would be questioned in the Hereafter:
1. Seeing
2. Hearing
3. Qulub/Understanding (is it a SENSE?)
What about Taste? (I don't know if it is given as a SENSE or would be questioned in the hereafter. Moreover, mostly the taste is used in context of Hereafter/Jannah or taste of Azab عذاب, torment, death, mercy etc.)
What about (Touching)? It is NOT mentioned as something given as a sense or which would be questioned in the OTHER/HEREAFTER. The word Touch is used 52 in 48 Ayats when I searched for the word TOUCH at (searchtruth.com). A few examples are given below:
(سورة البقرة, Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #80) Touching of fire in the Hereafter/Hell not in THIS WORD
(سورة آل عمران, Aal-i-Imraan, Chapter #3, Verse #24)
(سورة البقرة, Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #236) used for sexual intercourse as per most interpretations/translations
(سورة البقرة, Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #237)
(سورة آل عمران, Aal-i-Imraan, Chapter #3, Verse #47) Marry مریم said than no MAN has Touched her (because MAN don't have a sense of touch OR MAN could not have sexual intercourse with her?)
(سورة مريم, Maryam, Chapter #19, Verse #20)
(سورة آل عمران, Aal-i-Imraan, Chapter #3, Verse #140) It is WOUND/DEATH which can touch MAN - Man cannot
(سورة آل عمران, Aal-i-Imraan, Chapter #3, Verse #174)
(سورة الأنعام, Al-An'aam, Chapter #6, Verse #7) MAN unable to touch the Paper?
(سورة الأنعام, Al-An'aam, Chapter #6, Verse #17)
(6:17) And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things.
(سورة الواقعة, Al-Waaqia, Chapter #56, Verse #79) None can touch (Allah's Book) but purified
In short it is Harm, weariness, fire, Allah, Satan, death, etc. which can touch MAN and MAN cannot. Wherever a physical touching is mentioned it is meant for sexual intercourse.
What about Smell? The word(s) "smell" appears 3 time(s) in 3 verse(s) in Quran in Mohsin Khan translation.
(1) And when the caravan departed, their father said: "I do indeed feel the smell of Yusuf (Joseph), if only you think me not a dotard (a person who has weakness of mind because of old age)." قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ
(سورة يوسف, Yusuf, Chapter #12, Verse #94)
Question: Can we smell someone from a distance or from air ?
(سورة محمد, Muhammad, Chapter #47, Verse #15) What word is translated as SMELL?
(سورة المطففين, Al-Mutaffifin, Chapter #83, Verse #26) Again, what word is tranlated as SMELL?
Do you find a word exactly with the meaning SMELL in Quran?
So, brothers and sisters! What do you think? Are we HUMAN BEINGS or JINNS?
Maybe this would solve most of the mysteries related with our Origin and our Identity etc., which we have not solved till now neither through science nor through Quran.
Peace to all!
