Aslam

The nutshell of this talk is that the angel who is entrusted with dream presents to human soul in sleep what is written in the Guarded Tablet. He informs by illustration as a sleeping man cannot understand it except by illustration. It comes true and its meaning is correct. The illustration that death will be presented in the next world in the form of a goat without hair is that after the first death of man, there will be no other death as a slaughtered animal is not expected to come again. There is in the Quran "Be and it comes into being." This is explained as unlimited power. It is not possible to explain the punishments of sins and the rewards of virtues without illustrations. We say that on the Ressurrection Day, men will be of different classes and their ranks will be also different as in the world there is difference of fortunes and misfortunes. The next world does not keep this world separate as the Conductor of the next world and this world is one without having any partner.

MEN WILL BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR CLASSES IN THE NEXT WORLD

One class are for destruction, one class for punishment, one class for salvation, and one class for success. The following is the illustration in this world A certain powerful king in order to establish his kingdom on a firm basis kills some people and they are the destroyed people. He punishes some persons who are for a certain time but he doesnotkill them. They are those who receive punishment. He releases some persons who are recepients of salvation. He gives rewards to some persons who are successful.
If the king is just, he classes his subjects on the basis of justice only. He does not kill except those who deny his sovereigny. He does not punish except those who have got defects in their service to him. He does not release except those who admit the king's rank and position. He does not give rewards except to those who spend their lives in his service.

There is also difference in the rewards of those whe get rewards according to the extent of their services and helps to the king similarly those who are destroyed get punishment according to the extent of their mischief and worngdoing. Some are killed outright, the hands and feet of some are cut off and then killed. Then understand that in the next world also the people will be divided into different classes. Some will be destroyed, . some will get salvation and enter the abode of peace and some

will receive rewards. The nearest persons will recieve rewards.
The rewarded persons will be of different classes, some will enter the paradine of Eden/some will enter the paradise of Maoa, some Ferdous. Similarly those who will receive punishment will be also of different classes. Some will be given slight punishment, some will be given punishment from one thousand years to seven thousand years. Similarly those who will be destroyed will be deprived of God's mercy.
