Once a lady spoke to Selim Gündüzalp at the book fair about her deceased relative. She said that she was devastated and frustrated due to losing her... Selim Gündüzalp showed her the lamp that was giving light above them and asked: “What happens to electricity if this lamp breaks?” The answer: “Nothing happens…”
Gündüzalp continued: “The body is from the soil; it will return to the soil; The substance of the lamp is also made of soil, and when it is broken, it returns there. A person’s body dies, not his spirit. The body is the dress of the spirit; it takes the dress off with death. Does anything happen to a person who changes his clothes?.. The spirit does not die; it continues its journey to the intermediate realm (barzakh) when it leaves the body. Death is not the end; it means being born into a new realm. Azrael (the angel of death) is the midwife of eternity…”
…
Yes, a person migrates to a realm where he will meet his beloved ones again. When you are with Allah, both life and death is beautiful. It is even good news: “Prepare yourselves; you will go to another and permanent realm, a realm; such that this one will appear as a dungeon by comparison.”
Do not feel sad; do not grieve; live with the excitement of meeting your beloved ones in such an eternal realm and get ready for it...
