Communities have always held some notion of unseen
realms regardless of religion or culture. However, the modern age - an age of
extreme materialism - is an anomaly in this regard with its systematic erosion
of such ideas from the very psyche of man. People are finding it progressively
more difficult to comprehend realities that exist beyond the framework of the
physical world and how they tie in to the familiar material dimension we have
become immersed in.
'' When Friday comes, angels stand
at the door of the
Mosques, recording the order in which people enter,
the first ones first. Once the Imam sits
on the pulpit,
they fold up their records and enter to listen to the
remembrance.''
This unque book seeks to take the reader through
various unseen realms that exist outside, or alongside the physical reality we
experience. Drawing from the rich Islamic Tradition the author begins to
unravel the various worlds of dreams, angels, demons, spirits and how man has
experienced these realities throughout the ages.
'' One of the architects involved in maintenance and
repair work at the Prophet's Mosque, the Egyptian
Tariq al-Sharif, reports that in 1406AH he was with
a group of men working on the rooftop of the mosque
and they had all stopped to pray the maghrib Prayer,
after which they had sat down to rest. He was over-
taken by light somnolence and saw that he was sitting
in a circle in the Prophet's presence. Someone was
going around serving dates, milk and coffee. When it
was his turn, he was overjoyed to hear the Prophet,
ﷺ say, ''Serve him, for he deserves more.''
