<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
thing important to keep in mind: Allah, in the Qur'an, draws our attention<br />
to the fact that "only those who sincerely turn to Allah" take<br />
heed. In other words, only those who truly seek the guidance of our<br />
Lord and endeavor to appreciate His infinite might and His greatness<br />
will heed these explanations and have a grasp of these facts.<br />
People in Eternity<br />
Allah, the al-Khalig (the Creator), is the One Who creates everything<br />
from nothing and Who creates all things with the knowledge<br />
of what will happen to them. As a manifestation of this attribute of<br />
Allah, by the time He creates man in his mother's womb, eternity has<br />
begun for him. Surely, man does not recall the stages of his own development<br />
in the womb. However, every moment of this progress is<br />
present in the Sight of Allah and they quite definitely never disappear.<br />
Similarly, it is unlikely that those initial phases and developmental<br />
stages of a human being remain in his memory. Unless informed<br />
by Allah, man never manages to see these moments. Some<br />
moments, however, remain only as memories. The moments we experience<br />
are purely sensations presented to our soul. Yet, in the infinite<br />
memory of Allah, everything remains as it is. Allah created<br />
everything people encounter in life, all details pertaining to one's experiences,<br />
and they never disappear. As stated in the following<br />
verse, everything down to its last detail remains in the Sight of Allah.<br />
".... That is so you will know that Allah knows what is in the heavens<br />
and in the earth and that Allah has knowledge of all things."<br />
(Surat al-Ma'ida: 97)<br />
For example; all the details pertaining to the Prophet Adam's<br />
(pbuh) Creation in Paradise before he was sent to earth, and the way<br />
he was tested in Paradise are all present in the Main Book. Adam's<br />
initial Creation from clay, the angels' prostration to him, as well as<br />
the moment he was sent to earth and all the events he experienced<br />
are all vivid and existing right now. None of them has disappeared,
