What am I? Where am I going?

A View About Life

WHAT AM I? AND WHERE I AM GOING?

(A Psychological Review of Human Nature)

Since the birth of an individual, he is restless and trying to shape himself in the existing and available environment. Social workers, religious researchers, and intellectuals of various disciplines have been trying to seek this riddle by naming it as psyche, spirit, Ruh, soul, mental functioning skills, inner-self, behavior, etc., but are still undecided on a single definition. American Psychological Association (APA) has 56 divisions. They are following the apparent causes without touching the deep domain of human origin, i.e., Ruh.

In fact, the Creator knows better than the creature itself. It is difficult for mankind to be knower and known at the same moment. So, through the life-span till the end, each one is conducting research within its disciplines yet unable to see this power. The body is just a source of expression of it, since when a Ruh leaves the body, it turns to be meaningless, lifeless and becomes dust with the dust. Despite all types of facilities and researches, a human being is still mortal, have no definite control on sickness, mental process, or nature like air, water, seasons, fire, etc., but claims to be super like the Originator and Creator of the universe.

In comparison, man-made knowledge has limitation and is indefinite as no one can tell what a real an individual is or his mental functioning skills and intentions, etc. No one can be hundred time accurate about his inner billions of cells and inter-exchange system along the billions of outer covert and overt stimuli, etc. Moreover, the process of change is the part of nature on which humans have poor jurisdiction. Although Allah has blessed humans by birth with insight (right or wrong) and skills of a Naib and curiosity by birth to explore the natural treasure around him, till Zunn (judgment), questionable knowledge will emerge during his deductive logical tools and objectivity. The process of exploration will remain active in scientific areas and progress will be due to built-in refinement of human Ruh and body over the life period.

The negative hidden attributes of human nature arise when he loses balance under temptation and the power to control others. He loses self-control, is interrupted by worldly attractions and passes time in illusions to gain more, knowing that all will remain in this world and even his business colleagues, children, health, and sources would not save him from death.

In this process, mankind mostly loses its spiritual power and turns arrogant, corrupt, selfish, barbarous, unjust, and mostly forgets the purpose and attributes of a pious Naib attributes. Rather he applies his wisdom for self-centered benefits, creating own paradise, controlling sources with own domain, has poor tolerance for the fellow human beings unlike social, caring human beings and enjoying the natural blessings of life and natural surroundings.

The above quoted questions are provided 1440 years ago with logic and unchallenged authenticity by the Creator (Rub) how Adam was created with unique status of Ruh as Naib (Al-hijra 26-30), originally was nothing but shaped into beautiful form (Ateen -4 & Al-dahar 1-3), produced in generations through a biological process (An-nahal 78). Ruh is the order of the Creator (Bani-israel-85), is like life/light (all the electric equipment’s turn to useless when electric current is not available) which is invisible like Him, has unique individual skills like Him (Wahid- One), is restless in nature (Al-balad-4), glorified in creature (Bani-Israel 70) and Ruh is in control and constant in touch/supervision for his activities and minute intensions (like a wireless link with the Server), will be recreated for the accountability after death by Allah (Al-qima 3-5) who has provided him with all knowledge (Al-aadiat 6-8) so give importance to Ruh nourishment than body. As mankind has provided attributes of Naib with freedom of individual choice, so logic demands for a fair justice of all on set rules. So, individuals will be called to question for the accountability process that he has used the sources provided to him in the life-span, he has used it in a justified manner without hurting the other domains of life. those who follow the given direction for correction and aware of the final accountability process, they keep on a control on their power of choice in the life period.

In short, those who pass a natural life, enjoy the nature and get involve with the natural surroundings with justice and thanking the blessings of the immortal Lord.
