The saying of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH):
“There are one hundred degrees in paradise which Allah has prepared for those who work hard for his cause, between every two degrees is like what is between the sky and the earth, so if you ask Allah, ask Him for Al Firdaus, for it is the highest place in heaven and at its middle ...” (Al Bukhari: 2790)
Highest and middle as one point, is not in a sphere but in a cone.
In retranslating the verses, I followed a simple approach paying more attention to finding the closest meaning possible for each and every word, while trying to keep the original verses as elegant and precise as possible.
By underlining the most important parts of the subject, I tried to highlight the link between the related parts in the verses that bring about the full picture.

The Trumpet
In June I was lead to a book titled “What Is After Death”, written by Alsayed Rabei Alhusaini, first edition 2003 by Dar Almahajja Albaidaa, publishing house, Beirut, Lebanon. Where in chapter six titled (blowing the horn) p: 69-74, there is the following:
Alsour is defined in Arabic language as the trumpet or horn that looks like a bull’s horn.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said:”A horn of light, Israfil is holding to his mouth”.
(Ilm Alyaqeen, Alfaid Alkashani, V:2, P:892. Baidaa publishing house, Qum).
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) also said:”A horn being blown in”. (Sunan Altirmithi, V: 4. P: 41. New Fajala publishing house, Almadina Almunawara.
Imam Zein Alabideen; Ali Bin (Son of) Al Husein Bin The Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with them. He said: Alsour is a great horn that has one head and (tarafain)Two ends or sides. Between the lower end which is after the earth to the higher end which is after the sky, is as what is between (tukhoom) the borders of the seven earths to above the seventh sky, it has holes in it by the number of the creatures’ breaths.” (Laalii Alakhbar, Mohammed Nabi Twaisirkani.V: 5, P: 53. Alallama Library publishing House, Qum.)
Imam Zein Alabideen also said:”It is blown once and the sound goes out from the end that is after the earth, where no creature that has a spirit in the earth, but will be stunned and die, and the sound goes out from the end that is after the skies, where all creatures that have spirits get stunned and die …” (Bihar Alanwar, Alallama Alsheikh Mohammed Baqer Almajlisy, Qedah .V: 6, P: 324).
In The Name Of Allah The Merciful The Compassionate
“Did not the unbelievers see that the skies and the earth were a mend so We ripped them apart and from water We made every living thing, will not they believe”. (21: 30).
“They did not hold Allah in the high esteem He is worthy of and all the earth in his fist on the Day of Judgment and the skies folded within His Right Praised and Exalted He is above which they join to Him”. (39: 67).
And the trumpet shall be blown stunning those who are in the skies and in the earth save whom Allah wishes then it shall be blown again where they shall be up, looking. (39: 68).
Praised is the Forgiving and Mighty King, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths and what is between them, and the Lord of the Great Throne.
Is the trumpet, the universe with all its planets and galaxies gathered in God’s fist and the seven skies folded within his right, on the Day of Judgment?
But what is it like today?

Researching God’s Guidance and Mercy to the Worlds,
The Holy Quran
For three months I was immersed in a research, guided by the Quran and the Quran’s index. I collected and arranged seventy pages of verses, under related topics in a logical order, hoping that will shed some light on my quest for the truth.
The research was under creation topics:
God’s words, God’s books (creation, scale and Quran), creation (skies, earth and water), time, life and death, soul, companion and spirit. The section on God’s words just said that all there is, God’s words (creation and order), God’s books said that we are living in God’s book of creation, the section on time said that there is no time, and that it cannot be separated from life and death, the section about life and death said believers are alive now and then, and disbelievers are dead and they wake up on the big hour, soul said we are all one soul and we are connected to the skies and the earth, the section on spirit joined God’s words, time, life and the Quran together. Companion or Qareen said, look in your soul’s mirror and let spirit guide you.
I found that we can linger in darkness forever without God’s book, but how much can we know from the Quran? Its light is overwhelming, yet we only see what we are ready to know. The Quran talks to our spirits, each in a tailor made fashion that suits our state of readiness to receive its light.
This quest has enabled me of seeing the truth, the bigger reality of the universe, and showed me how this one great Book will continue to reveal its secrets till the end.
In the next pages you will find many verses from the Holy Quran, gathered and organized under different topics, to shed more light on the related subject, but in doing so I have taken many verses from their original chapter (Sura), and away from the preceding and following verses which complete their meaning.
“… Allah’s Book, but came down its parts approving and complementing other parts …”
