The City of Human Body
When Almighty Allah decided to start human history on this earth on this planet and he wanted to build the city of human body, the city known as the human body because there are many, many inhabitants who are living in this city of the human body. The human body is a city like other cities on this world there are thousands and millions of people living in that city in the same way in the city of the human body there are many inhabitants living in here. When Almighty Allah decided to build to construct this city he said.
“I AM ABOUT TO CREATE A HUMAN ORGANISM FROM OLD (AND) BLACK STINKING, RESOUNDING MUD”
(AL-HIJR, 15 : 28)
So I am saying that this human body which was declared ‘Bashar’ that was made with clay, with mud which included water and effects of sun and fire certain elements there were certain ingredients and constituent elements which constituted this whole city, then Almighty Allah after building this city decided to establish a government of the city and he decided to send to appoint someone as the ruler, ruler of the city, the city I mean again human body and that ruler must be his deputy, Allah’s deputy, Allah’s vicegerent, His Khalifah.
“AND (RECALL) WHEN YOUR LORD SAID TO THE ANGELS:
‘I AM ABOUT TO PLACE MY VICEGERENT TO THE EARTH”
(AL-BAQARAH, 2; 30)
So he decided to send his deputy, his NAIB, his vicegerent, his Khalifah in this city and who would rule, who would govern and who would be the head of the whole government of this city, this deputy this body having animalistic ingredients this body is not the deputy of Almighty Allah this is just a city which has been built which is to be governed which is to be ruled by his deputy is Khalifah and that Khalifah which was sent to rule the city is known as the spirit and Almighty Allah stated.
“SO WHEN I ACCOMPLISH THE PERFECTION OF HIS (PHYSICAL) CONSTITUTION INTO HIS REAL BEING”
(AL-HIJR, 15; 29)
When I will complete its construction the whole city of the body would be built up.
“AND BREATHE MY (DIVINE) SPIRIT INTO (THE INNER SELF OF) THIS (HUMAN PHYSICAL) ORGANISM”
(AL-HIJR, 15; 29)
Then I will send my RUH (spirit) as a deputy into this city.
“THEN FALL DOWN PROSTRATE BEFORE HIM”
(AL-HIJR, 15; 29)
And He asked the angel when my deputy comes into this city and takes over the charge and comes into power and takes over the charge of the city as the ruler so he. My deputy has two capacities in my connection he is my deputy my representative and in its own capacity being in the city of the body he is the ruler, king of the city so Almighty Allah commanded the angels when I will send my deputy as the ruler of the body and my deputy the ruler will come into the city then you have to prostrate.
So this prostration and sujud was not for the city, it was not for the Bashar, was not for the animalistic body, was not for the dust, was not for the clay, this sujud and prostration was for the RUH, the deputy sent by Almighty Allah. The angels were asked to show their reverence, respect for his RUH so when the RUH the spirit was made the ruler of the city of this body. So whenever a ruler is appointed so always a capital for their city is needed which becomes the seat of the ruler, it becomes the seat of the king, or a palace a president house a prime minister house, the house and the palace for the king, for the ruler, for the head is always needed which should be known as SEAT OF THE RULER.
