In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful, Peace and blessings be upon the seal of the prophets and messengers; my grandfather from generations Muhammad, the trustworthy, and upon his repentant and pure family and the followers of the truth until the day of judgment
My honored brother among the earlier righteous supporters; Abu-Muhammad Al-Kaabi, may Allah keep you steady on the straight path. I do admonish you on one point; not to trust yourselves that you will never turn away from following the truth. You should know that Allah comes in between a man and his heart, for that Allah forbid you to trust yourselves no matter how much you are certain of the truth from your Lord. So say what Allah commanded you to sayرَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُصدق الله العظيم [ال عمران: 8]
"Our Lord, do not deviate our hearts, after You have guided us and grant us from Your presence Mercy, verily You are the benevolent [Surah: 3– Al-Imran– verse: 8]
For that, the messenger of Allah Muhammad PBUH used to say((يا مُثبت القلوب ثبت قلبي على دينك وطاعتك ))Oh God, who makes hearts steady, make my heart steady in your religion and obedience to You
As well, the Imam Al-Mahdi says: Oh Allah, make my heart and the hearts of all Muslims steady on the straight path by your Mercy and You are the Most Merciful
Allah SWT saidوَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِن قِطْمِيرٍ (13) إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَاءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ وَلا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ صدق الله العظيم[فاطر: 13-14]And those whom you invoke apart from Him do not own so much as the membrane of a date stone.(13) If you invoke them, they do not hear your invocation, and even if they were to hear, they would not answer you, and on the Day of Resurrection they will reject you for your associating them (with God). And none can inform you like an expert[Surah: 35– Fatir – verse: 13-14]
So who is this expert who explained to you in detail the secret of worshiping statues and how the people associated (partners) with their Lord, and what will be the consequence for those believers who associate righteous servants with their Lord. And who explained what the dialogue between them and between those who exaggerated without truth will be on the day when Allah will gather the believers who associate and the sincere believers (who were associated) who were sincere to their Lord, and how they will deny the association. Allah SWT saidوَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَؤُلاء شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّهِ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللَّهَ بِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
صدق الله العظيم[يونس: 18]
And they worship, beside Allah, what can neither harm them nor profit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors before Allah". Say: "Do you inform Allah of what He does not know in the heavens and the earth? Glorified and sublimely Exalted is He above what they associate (as partners with Him in His authority). [Surah: 10- Yunus- Verse: 18
Then we come to the consequence for those who are waiting for intercession before their Lord from His Messengers and prophets and His righteous servants. Allah SWT saidوَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَاؤُكُمْ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَقَالَ شُرَكَاؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ فَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَ هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُو كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا أَسْلَفَتْ وَرُدُّواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَوْلاهُمُ الْحَقِّ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَصدق الله العظيم[يونس: 28-30]The day whereon We shall gather them all together, then We say to those who associated (others in worship with God): "keep to your place- you and your associates." We shall then separate between them, and their associates will say: "Not us that you were worshipping; (28) Allah is sufficient witness between us and you, that of your worship (to us) we were not even aware."(29) There every soul will taste the recompense of what it has done aforetime; and they will be brought back to Allah, their true Master, the falsehoods they had fabricated (will) have forsaken them
[Surah: 10– Yunus– Verses: 28-30]
We find that those who were said to be intercessors will deny your association, seeing that you want their intercession in the presence of your Lord, and they sayوَقَالَ شُرَكَاؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ فَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَصدق الله العظيم[يونس: 29]and their associates will say: "Not us that you were worshiping;(28) Allah is sufficient witness between us and you, that of you your worship (to us) we were not even aware." [Surah: 10– Yunus– Verses: 29]
The Awaited Mahdi, who calls to deny the intercession of creatures, is the expert meant in the verseوَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِن قِطْمِيرٍ (13) إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَاءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ وَلا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ صدق الله العظيم[فاطر: 13-14]And those whom you invoke apart from Him do not own so much as the membrane of a date stone.(13) If you invoke them, they do not hear your invocation, and even if they were to hear, they would not answer you, and on the Day of Resurrection they will reject you for your associating them (with God). And none can inform you like an expert[Surah: 35– Fatir – verse: 13-14]
It is the Imam Mahdi who is the servant who is an expert in knowing The Most Gracious, in line with the verseالَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيراًصدق الله العظيم[الفرقان: 59]The one who created the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is between them in six days (periods), then established His domination over the Throne, the Most Gracious; therefore concerning Him, ask the one who is an expert[Surah: 25– Al-Furqaan– Verses: 59]
That is he, the expert, who is meant in the following verseوَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ وَلا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ صدق الله العظيم[فاطر: 14]and on the Day of Resurrection they will reject you for your associating them (with God). And none can inform you like an expert[Surah: 35– Fatir– Verse: 14]
That is the Awaited Mahdi, who explained in detail what is meant by intercession and called you to deny all intercessors that you believe in, and showed you that they will deny your association, and I explained that in previous detailed statements, and I told you that what you believe in contradicts the trait of Allah that He is The Most Merciful. So the righteous servants who are drawn near to Allah would not dare to ask intercession before Him who is more merciful of His servants than them; Allah, The Most Merciful. And we gave you the ruling that intercession is from Allah only when His Mercy intercedes in His Own Self for His servants who believe that their Lord, The Most Gracious, is indeed the Most Merciful, so they regard the Mercy of Allah as sufficient and do not wait for mercy from who are less merciful than Him, so they don’t wait for intercession from them. And I gave you the ruling that intercession altogether is unto Allah only so His Mercy intercedes in His Own Self for those who believe in the Mercy of their Lord. Allah SWT saidأَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ شُفَعَاءَ قُلْ أَوَلَوْ كَانُوا لا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْئًا وَلا يَعْقِلُونَ (43) قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَصدق الله العظيم[الزمر :43-44]
Have they taken intercessors besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have power over nothing whatever and have no understanding/knowledge. (43) Say: "Unto Allah is intercession altogether, His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shall be returned." [Surah: 39- Al-Zumur-Verses: 43-44
And whoever he is who believes in intercession of servants before the worshipped God is of those who associate partners with Allah, The Most Merciful
O scholars of the nation, you have differed regarding the resurrection. The Awaited Imam Mahdi is a judge with the truth among you, and you all believe in the resurrection when Allah gathers all His servants all together, you did not differ regarding that resurrection. But if the Imam Mahdi asks you a question which is: until when did Allah respite Iblis? If your answer is that he was respited until the day of the thorough resurrection of all creatures, then I say that you are wrong, so glorify the praise of your Lord who said about Himselfكُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُصدق الله العظيم[القصص: 88]Everything will perish, except His Face[Surah: 28 – Al-Qasas– Verse: 88]
After everything that existed in His earth and His heavens perish, Glory be to Allah , then He folds the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books and He joins the heavens and the earth and makes them into one piece, in line with the verse يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُعِيدُهُ وَعْداً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَصدق الله العظيم[الأنبياء: 104]On that Day when We roll up the heavens like a folding of a sheet for the record. As We started the first creation, so We shall bring it back again. This is a promise on Us; and so We will do it[Surah: 21 – Al-Anbiaa'– Verse: 104]
and in line with the verseوَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَصدق الله العظيم[الزمر: 67]They measure not Allah with His true measure; The earth all together will be (compressed) in His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens shall be rolled up/folded in His right hand. Glorified and sublimely Exalted is He above what they associate (as partners with His authority) [Surah: 39- Al-Zumur- Verse: 67
The true clarification forوَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ The earth all together will be (compressed) in His grip on the Day of Resurrection,
is: the seven earths
And the true clarification forوَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَصدق الله العظيم
and the heavens shall be rolled up/folded in His right hand. Glorified and sublimely Exalted is He above what they associate
is: the seven heavens
And all who exist in the heavens and in the earth will end, and all who exist on the heavens and on the earth will end, in line with the verseكُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ (26) وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ صدق الله العظيم[الرحمن: 27]All that is on it (earth) is mortal (26) and there remains the Face of your Lord, the One of Majesty and Honor
[Surah: 55- Ar-Rahman-Verses: 26-27]
Everything will perish except the One whom there is nothing whatsoever like unto Him; Allah The All-Majestic, the Wise, in line with the verseكُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُصدق الله العظيم[القصص: 88]Everything will perish, except His Face
After that, comes the thorough resurrection to every living thing among nations, starting from a mosquito and everything above it among nations; everything that walks or flies, whether Human or Jinn or angels and all other walking or flying nations in line with the verseوَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلاَّ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ صدق الله العظيم[الأنعام: 38]There is not a walking creature on the earth, nor a bird flying with its two wings, but are a nation like unto yourselves. We have not neglected in The Book a thing. Then towards their Lord they will be gathered
[Surah: 6– Al-Anaam– Verse: 38]
That is the thorough resurrection to all servants of Allah; righteous and sincere ones among them or those who associate and disbelieve, in line with the versesإِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِّنَّا الْحُسْنَى أُوْلَئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ (101) لا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ (102) لا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ هَذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ (103) يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاء كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَصدق الله العظيم[الأنبياء: 101-104](as for) those for whom Our promise of goodness has preceded to them from Us, they will be kept far away from it (Hell). (101) And will not hear even its slightest sound. And in that which their souls desire they shall eternally be. (102) The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will receive them, (saying: ) "This is your day, which you have been promised." (103) On that Day when We roll up the heavens like a folding of a sheet for the record. As We began the first creation, so We shall bring it back again. This is a promise on Us; and so We will do it
[Surah: 21 – Al-Anbiaa'– Verse: 101-104]
That is the day of Meeting, the day of the thorough resurrection of all men. But before that there is a partial resurrection on the day of Azifa (return); the day of the return to the other worldly life, in parallel with the versesفَادْعُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ (14) رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ لِيُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلاقِي (15) يَوْمَ هُمْ بَارِزُونَ لا يَخْفَى عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ لِمَنْ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ (16) الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ (17) وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الآزِفَةِ إِذْ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كَاظِمِينَ مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ صدق الله العظيم[غافر: 14-18]So invoke unto Allah, (being) sincere to Him exclusively in religion, even if the disbelievers hate it.(14) Exalted in degrees, Owner of the throne, He sends the Spirit to descend at His command upon whomsoever He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of the Meeting, (15) the Day when they (all) shall come forth, and nothing of them is hidden from Allah. "To whom does the sovereignty belong this day?" To Allah, the One, The Overpowering. (16) on this Day each soul will be recompensed for what it earned, there will be no injustice this Day. Surely, Allah is swift at reckoning. (17) and warn them (of) the day of AZIFA (the day of the return) when the hearts are almost at the throats, choking, and the unjust do not have any patron/protector nor an intercessor (who is) obeyed
[Surah: 40– Gafir– Verses: 14-18]
on the day of Azifa (the return) there will be not any righteous servants among all the resurrected people, in line with the verseوَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادَى كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَتَرَكْتُم مَّا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَاء ظُهُورِكُمْ وَمَا نَرَى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِيكُمْ شُرَكَاء لَقَد تَّقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنكُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَصدق الله العظيم[الأنعام: 94]And you (disbelievers) come to Us solitarily, as We did create you the first time, and you have left what We granted you behind your backs, and We do not see with you your intercessors, whom you claimed were associates (with God) in respect to you. Indeed, it has been severed between you, and what you have been claiming has forsaken you[Surah: 6– Al-Anaam– Verse: 94]
And since you asked many questions, we will stop here as it is enough that we have brought forth the true ruling proving that the resurrection is two resurrections
Now we come to your second question sayingThe wordالآخرة /Hereafter
has come in many verses of the Qur'an, but we did not know that it means another life inside our hollow earth and my the question is: Are there verses in the Glorious Qur'an where the word 'hereafter' means life inside the inner space of the earth
The answer: You should know that there is no differing among all scholars of the nation regarding the worldly life or the Hereafter because it was mentioned in The Book many times (therefore, 'hereafter' does not refer to the life in the hollow earth). But there is life - which is a part of this worldly life - inside earth that you do not have knowledge of. You only know about a part of this worldly life, in line with the verseيَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْـحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَصدق الله العظيم[الروم: 7]They know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter[Surah: 30– Ar-Room– Verse: 7]
Why did Allah SWT sayThey know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter
Why did He say
outward part of the life of this world
That is because there is a land with life on it. Allah does not mean life as in life and death, nay, He means the outward part relates to living. While regarding life and death; know you that believers die only once, while disbelievers have two lives and two deaths. Not to go away from our subject here, we are talking about life as living aspects not as life and death. In this verse Allah is talking about livingيَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْـحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَصدق الله العظيم[الروم: 7]They know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter[Surah: 30– Ar-Room– Verse: 7]
That is because there is another life that exists inside your earth, and there is a kingdom and creatures much more than what exists on the outside life (outward part). This other worldly life exists inside planet earth. For that Allah SWT said
لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى صدق الله العظيم

Allah SWT saidوَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ مَكَانَكُمْ أَنتُمْ وَشُرَكَاؤُكُمْ فَزَيَّلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَقَالَ شُرَكَاؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ فَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَ هُنَالِكَ تَبْلُو كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا أَسْلَفَتْ وَرُدُّواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَوْلاهُمُ الْحَقِّ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَصدق الله العظيم[يونس: 28-30]The day whereon We shall gather them all together, then We say to those who associated (others in worship with God): "keep to your place- you and your associates." We shall then separate between them, and their associates will say: "Not us that you were worshipping; (28) Allah is sufficient witness between us and you, that of your worship (to us) we were not even aware."(29) There every soul will taste the recompense of what it has done aforetime; and they will be brought back to Allah, their true Master, the falsehoods they had fabricated (will) have forsaken them

We find that those who were said to be intercessors will deny your association, seeing that you want their intercession in the presence of your Lord, and they sayوَقَالَ شُرَكَاؤُهُم مَّا كُنتُمْ إِيَّانَا تَعْبُدُونَ فَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَصدق الله العظيم[يونس: 29]and their associates will say: "Not us that you were worshiping;(28) Allah is sufficient witness between us and you, that of you your worship (to us) we were not even aware." [Surah: 10– Yunus– Verses: 29]
The Awaited Mahdi, who calls to deny the intercession of creatures, is the expert meant in the verseوَالَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ مَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِن قِطْمِيرٍ (13) إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَاءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ وَلا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ صدق الله العظيم[فاطر: 13-14]And those whom you invoke apart from Him do not own so much as the membrane of a date stone.(13) If you invoke them, they do not hear your invocation, and even if they were to hear, they would not answer you, and on the Day of Resurrection they will reject you for your associating them (with God). And none can inform you like an expert[Surah: 35– Fatir – verse: 13-14]
It is the Imam Mahdi who is the servant who is an expert in knowing The Most Gracious, in line with the verseالَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ الرَّحْمَنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيراًصدق الله العظيم[الفرقان: 59]The one who created the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is between them in six days (periods), then established His domination over the Throne, the Most Gracious; therefore concerning Him, ask the one who is an expert[Surah: 25– Al-Furqaan– Verses: 59]
That is he, the expert, who is meant in the following verseوَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ وَلا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ صدق الله العظيم[فاطر: 14]and on the Day of Resurrection they will reject you for your associating them (with God). And none can inform you like an expert[Surah: 35– Fatir– Verse: 14]
That is the Awaited Mahdi, who explained in detail what is meant by intercession and called you to deny all intercessors that you believe in, and showed you that they will deny your association, and I explained that in previous detailed statements, and I told you that what you believe in contradicts the trait of Allah that He is The Most Merciful. So the righteous servants who are drawn near to Allah would not dare to ask intercession before Him who is more merciful of His servants than them; Allah, The Most Merciful. And we gave you the ruling that intercession is from Allah only when His Mercy intercedes in His Own Self for His servants who believe that their Lord, The Most Gracious, is indeed the Most Merciful, so they regard the Mercy of Allah as sufficient and do not wait for mercy from who are less merciful than Him, so they don’t wait for intercession from them. And I gave you the ruling that intercession altogether is unto Allah only so His Mercy intercedes in His Own Self for those who believe in the Mercy of their Lord. Allah SWT saidأَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ شُفَعَاءَ قُلْ أَوَلَوْ كَانُوا لا يَمْلِكُونَ شَيْئًا وَلا يَعْقِلُونَ (43) قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا لَّهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَصدق الله العظيم[الزمر :43-44]
Have they taken intercessors besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have power over nothing whatever and have no understanding/knowledge. (43) Say: "Unto Allah is intercession altogether, His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, then to Him you shall be returned." [Surah: 39- Al-Zumur-Verses: 43-44
And whoever he is who believes in intercession of servants before the worshipped God is of those who associate partners with Allah, The Most Merciful
O scholars of the nation, you have differed regarding the resurrection. The Awaited Imam Mahdi is a judge with the truth among you, and you all believe in the resurrection when Allah gathers all His servants all together, you did not differ regarding that resurrection. But if the Imam Mahdi asks you a question which is: until when did Allah respite Iblis? If your answer is that he was respited until the day of the thorough resurrection of all creatures, then I say that you are wrong, so glorify the praise of your Lord who said about Himselfكُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُصدق الله العظيم[القصص: 88]Everything will perish, except His Face[Surah: 28 – Al-Qasas– Verse: 88]
After everything that existed in His earth and His heavens perish, Glory be to Allah , then He folds the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books and He joins the heavens and the earth and makes them into one piece, in line with the verse يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُعِيدُهُ وَعْداً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَصدق الله العظيم[الأنبياء: 104]On that Day when We roll up the heavens like a folding of a sheet for the record. As We started the first creation, so We shall bring it back again. This is a promise on Us; and so We will do it[Surah: 21 – Al-Anbiaa'– Verse: 104]
and in line with the verseوَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَصدق الله العظيم[الزمر: 67]They measure not Allah with His true measure; The earth all together will be (compressed) in His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens shall be rolled up/folded in His right hand. Glorified and sublimely Exalted is He above what they associate (as partners with His authority) [Surah: 39- Al-Zumur- Verse: 67
The true clarification forوَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ The earth all together will be (compressed) in His grip on the Day of Resurrection,
is: the seven earths
And the true clarification forوَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَصدق الله العظيم
and the heavens shall be rolled up/folded in His right hand. Glorified and sublimely Exalted is He above what they associate
is: the seven heavens
And all who exist in the heavens and in the earth will end, and all who exist on the heavens and on the earth will end, in line with the verseكُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ (26) وَيَبْقَى وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ صدق الله العظيم[الرحمن: 27]All that is on it (earth) is mortal (26) and there remains the Face of your Lord, the One of Majesty and Honor
[Surah: 55- Ar-Rahman-Verses: 26-27]
Everything will perish except the One whom there is nothing whatsoever like unto Him; Allah The All-Majestic, the Wise, in line with the verseكُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُصدق الله العظيم[القصص: 88]Everything will perish, except His Face
After that, comes the thorough resurrection to every living thing among nations, starting from a mosquito and everything above it among nations; everything that walks or flies, whether Human or Jinn or angels and all other walking or flying nations in line with the verseوَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلاَّ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ صدق الله العظيم[الأنعام: 38]There is not a walking creature on the earth, nor a bird flying with its two wings, but are a nation like unto yourselves. We have not neglected in The Book a thing. Then towards their Lord they will be gathered
[Surah: 6– Al-Anaam– Verse: 38]
That is the thorough resurrection to all servants of Allah; righteous and sincere ones among them or those who associate and disbelieve, in line with the versesإِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِّنَّا الْحُسْنَى أُوْلَئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ (101) لا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا وَهُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَالِدُونَ (102) لا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الأَكْبَرُ وَتَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ هَذَا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ (103) يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاء كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَصدق الله العظيم[الأنبياء: 101-104](as for) those for whom Our promise of goodness has preceded to them from Us, they will be kept far away from it (Hell). (101) And will not hear even its slightest sound. And in that which their souls desire they shall eternally be. (102) The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will receive them, (saying: ) "This is your day, which you have been promised." (103) On that Day when We roll up the heavens like a folding of a sheet for the record. As We began the first creation, so We shall bring it back again. This is a promise on Us; and so We will do it
[Surah: 21 – Al-Anbiaa'– Verse: 101-104]
That is the day of Meeting, the day of the thorough resurrection of all men. But before that there is a partial resurrection on the day of Azifa (return); the day of the return to the other worldly life, in parallel with the versesفَادْعُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ (14) رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ لِيُنْذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلاقِي (15) يَوْمَ هُمْ بَارِزُونَ لا يَخْفَى عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ لِمَنْ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ (16) الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لا ظُلْمَ الْيَوْمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ (17) وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الآزِفَةِ إِذْ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنَاجِرِ كَاظِمِينَ مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ صدق الله العظيم[غافر: 14-18]So invoke unto Allah, (being) sincere to Him exclusively in religion, even if the disbelievers hate it.(14) Exalted in degrees, Owner of the throne, He sends the Spirit to descend at His command upon whomsoever He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of the Meeting, (15) the Day when they (all) shall come forth, and nothing of them is hidden from Allah. "To whom does the sovereignty belong this day?" To Allah, the One, The Overpowering. (16) on this Day each soul will be recompensed for what it earned, there will be no injustice this Day. Surely, Allah is swift at reckoning. (17) and warn them (of) the day of AZIFA (the day of the return) when the hearts are almost at the throats, choking, and the unjust do not have any patron/protector nor an intercessor (who is) obeyed
[Surah: 40– Gafir– Verses: 14-18]
on the day of Azifa (the return) there will be not any righteous servants among all the resurrected people, in line with the verseوَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادَى كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَتَرَكْتُم مَّا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَاء ظُهُورِكُمْ وَمَا نَرَى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِيكُمْ شُرَكَاء لَقَد تَّقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنكُم مَّا كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَصدق الله العظيم[الأنعام: 94]And you (disbelievers) come to Us solitarily, as We did create you the first time, and you have left what We granted you behind your backs, and We do not see with you your intercessors, whom you claimed were associates (with God) in respect to you. Indeed, it has been severed between you, and what you have been claiming has forsaken you[Surah: 6– Al-Anaam– Verse: 94]
And since you asked many questions, we will stop here as it is enough that we have brought forth the true ruling proving that the resurrection is two resurrections
Now we come to your second question sayingThe wordالآخرة /Hereafter
has come in many verses of the Qur'an, but we did not know that it means another life inside our hollow earth and my the question is: Are there verses in the Glorious Qur'an where the word 'hereafter' means life inside the inner space of the earth
The answer: You should know that there is no differing among all scholars of the nation regarding the worldly life or the Hereafter because it was mentioned in The Book many times (therefore, 'hereafter' does not refer to the life in the hollow earth). But there is life - which is a part of this worldly life - inside earth that you do not have knowledge of. You only know about a part of this worldly life, in line with the verseيَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْـحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَصدق الله العظيم[الروم: 7]They know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter[Surah: 30– Ar-Room– Verse: 7]
Why did Allah SWT sayThey know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter
Why did He say
outward part of the life of this world
That is because there is a land with life on it. Allah does not mean life as in life and death, nay, He means the outward part relates to living. While regarding life and death; know you that believers die only once, while disbelievers have two lives and two deaths. Not to go away from our subject here, we are talking about life as living aspects not as life and death. In this verse Allah is talking about livingيَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْـحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَصدق الله العظيم[الروم: 7]They know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter[Surah: 30– Ar-Room– Verse: 7]
That is because there is another life that exists inside your earth, and there is a kingdom and creatures much more than what exists on the outside life (outward part). This other worldly life exists inside planet earth. For that Allah SWT said
لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى صدق الله العظيم
[طه: 6]
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the Earth, and what is between them, and what is below the soil (earth). [Surah: 20– Taha– Verse: 6
Allah SWT is talking about different worlds, so He taught you that there are two lives in this earth, Allah SWT said
وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ and what is on the Earth
وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى
and what is below the soil
Regarding the worlds of the heavens, they all are angels and none knows how many they are but Allah, glory be to Him, and they fill the seven heavens and the nearest among them to us is the Higher assembly as they are higher in comparison to us, but this lower heaven (sky) is below the other heavens and it is the first floor among the heavens, in line with the verses
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاء الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ (6) وَحِفْظاً مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَّارِدٍ (7) لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَى وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ (8) دُحُوراً وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ (9) إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ صدق الله العظيم[الصافات: 6-10]Verily We have adorned the lowest heaven with adornments, the planets, (6) and to preserve from every rebellious devil, (7) they do not strain to listen to the higher assembly, and are pelted at from every side, (8) driven away, and for them is a torment unceasing, (9) except who snatches a glimpse(of such knowledge), he is pursued by a piercing flame [Surah: 37– As-Saf-fat– Verse: 6-10]
Such is the same for the other six heavens, they are full of angels. Then we come to earth; this mother planet, where two lives exist; an apparent life (outward part) and a life inside it. For that Allah SWT saidيَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْـحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَصدق الله العظيم[الروم: 7]They know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter
[Surah: 30– Ar-Room– Verse: 7]
meaning: there is another life that people don’t have knowledge of and it is the inside of our earth, in line with the verseلَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَىصدق الله العظيم
[طه: 6]To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the Earth, and what is between them, and what is below the soil (earth). [Surah: 20– Taha– Verse: 6
Inside the earth is occupied by the Anti-Christ. And its Lord is Allah, not the Anti-Christ who claims to being God. Allah SWT saidرَبُّ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ الْمَغْرِبَيْنِ صدق الله العظيم[الرحمن: 17]The Lord of the two sun rises and the Lord of the two Sun sets[Surah: 55– Ar-Rahman– Verse: 17]
That is because in the other worldly life there are two sun sets and two sun rises because it is inside the earth. The two sunrises are the same points of the sun sets, that is because the two points of the sun rise are not on one side, actually, the biggest distance in the earth is the distance between the two sun rises. That is why those who were misled by their devil companion in this life will say to their companion, on the day of judgment
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَنَا قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرِينُصدق الله العظيم[الزخرف: 38]Until when he comes to Us, he says (to his companion): "O would that between me and you (there)were the distance between the two sun rises, what an evil companion[Surah:42 – Al-Zukhruf – Verse: 38]
That is because these two sun rises are the sun rises of the always awake land, where the sun never sets, which is the land that those who will be resurrected are going to be gathered to in order to live their second temporary life, in line with the versesيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ (10) أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً نَّخِرَةً (11) قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذاً كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ(12) فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (13) فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ صدق الله العظيم
[النازعات: 10-14]They say: "What? shall we be brought back to (our) former state, (10) even after we are carious bones?" (11) and they say: "That indeed shall be a losing return." (12) But verily, all it will take is a single foreboding (blast), (13) they will all be in the(always) awake (land); 'SAHIRA' [Surah: 79– An-Naziaat– Verse: 10-14
It is indeed a losing return if it was not for the Imam Mahdi. Actually, if it was not for Imam Mahdi by the permission of Allah, the Anti-Christ would deceive most Muslims, in line with the verseوَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لاَتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّيْطَانَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً
صدق الله العظيم
[النساء: 83]and if it was not for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy, you would follow Satan (the Devil) except a few(of you) [Surah: 4– An-Nisaa'– Verse: 83
It is called the return because it is a return to this worldly life. Allah SWT saidقُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿53﴾ وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ ﴿54﴾ وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ ﴿55﴾ أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ (56) أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿57﴾ أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿58﴾ بَلَى قَدْ جَاءتْكَ آيَاتِي فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ صدق الله العظيم [الزمر: 53-59]Say: "O my Servants who have acted extravagantly against themselves, do not despair of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives sins, all of them altogether, it is He who is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. (53) and turn you in repentance to your Lord and submit to Him, before the torment comes upon you; after that you shall not be helped. (54) And follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Lord, before the torment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive.(55)Lest any soul should (then) say: 'The anguish is for me, in what I have neglected towards Allah, and having been of those who mocked. (56) Or it says: "If Allah had (only) guided me, I would have been among the pious;" (57) Or it says when it sees the torment: "If only there is a return for me, I would be among righteous." (58) Yes! My verses did come to you, but you belied them and showed you were haughty, and you were among the disbelievers[Surah: 39– Az-Zumur– Verse: 53-59]
That is what the people who Allah perished say after He punishes them and enters them to hell fire without injustice, but they were unjust to themselvesOr it says when it sees the torment: "If only there is a return for me, I would be among righteous." So the return is a return to this worldly life in live with the versesيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ (10) أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً نَّخِرَةً (11) قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذاً كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ (12) فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (13) فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
صدق الله العظيم[النازعات: 10-14]They say: "What! shall we be brought back to (our) former state, (10) even after we are carious bones?" (11) and they say: "That indeed shall be a losing return." (12) But verily, all it will take is a single foreboding (blast),(13) they will all be in the(always) awake (land); 'SAHIRA' [Surah: 79– An-Naziaat– Verse: 10-14]
So what is this 'awake' place? It is the land where the sun does not disappear as Zul-Qrnain (the one of two ages) found itحَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهَا سِتْرًاصدق الله العظيم[الكهف: 90]
Until when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made any shield against it[Surah: 18– Al-Kahf– Verse: 90]
Meaning: it is the land where the sun does not set. Because when the sun sets it rises from the same place it set at. That is because this land has two gates; one at the end of it towards the north and the other one is at the end of the land towards the south. So, when the sun sets at the southern gate it rises at the same time from the northern gate. For that Allah SWT saidحَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهَا سِتْرًاصدق الله العظيم[الكهف: 90]
Until when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made any shield against it[Surah: 18– Al-Kahf– Verse: 90]
That is the 'awake land' to where the return will be to live a peaceful life as long as Allah wills after the resurrection of the Day of Azifa (the day of the return). That is going to be after the mercy of Allah of bringing the Imam Mahdi by whom the following is fulfilledيَمْحُو اللّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِندَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِصدق الله العظيم[الرعد: 39]Allah erases what He wills and establishes (what He wills); and with Him is the Mother of The Book[Surah: 13– Ar-Raad– Verse: 39]
We have explained to you the earth of two sun rises in detail already. And here is a photo of one of the two gates. You can know about the other gate opposite to it, seeing that the light of the sun comes from inside the earth. Those who discovered this thought that there is a sun inside the earth but they are wrong. The light of the sun comes through the other gate on the other side of it; as you can see in the following photo on reality
To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the Earth, and what is between them, and what is below the soil (earth). [Surah: 20– Taha– Verse: 6
Allah SWT is talking about different worlds, so He taught you that there are two lives in this earth, Allah SWT said
وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ and what is on the Earth
وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى
and what is below the soil
Regarding the worlds of the heavens, they all are angels and none knows how many they are but Allah, glory be to Him, and they fill the seven heavens and the nearest among them to us is the Higher assembly as they are higher in comparison to us, but this lower heaven (sky) is below the other heavens and it is the first floor among the heavens, in line with the verses
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاء الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَوَاكِبِ (6) وَحِفْظاً مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَّارِدٍ (7) لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَى وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ (8) دُحُوراً وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ (9) إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ صدق الله العظيم[الصافات: 6-10]Verily We have adorned the lowest heaven with adornments, the planets, (6) and to preserve from every rebellious devil, (7) they do not strain to listen to the higher assembly, and are pelted at from every side, (8) driven away, and for them is a torment unceasing, (9) except who snatches a glimpse(of such knowledge), he is pursued by a piercing flame [Surah: 37– As-Saf-fat– Verse: 6-10]
Such is the same for the other six heavens, they are full of angels. Then we come to earth; this mother planet, where two lives exist; an apparent life (outward part) and a life inside it. For that Allah SWT saidيَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْـحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَصدق الله العظيم[الروم: 7]They know only the outward part of the life of this world; and are oblivious of the Hereafter
[Surah: 30– Ar-Room– Verse: 7]
meaning: there is another life that people don’t have knowledge of and it is the inside of our earth, in line with the verseلَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَىصدق الله العظيم
[طه: 6]To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the Earth, and what is between them, and what is below the soil (earth). [Surah: 20– Taha– Verse: 6
Inside the earth is occupied by the Anti-Christ. And its Lord is Allah, not the Anti-Christ who claims to being God. Allah SWT saidرَبُّ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ وَرَبُّ الْمَغْرِبَيْنِ صدق الله العظيم[الرحمن: 17]The Lord of the two sun rises and the Lord of the two Sun sets[Surah: 55– Ar-Rahman– Verse: 17]
That is because in the other worldly life there are two sun sets and two sun rises because it is inside the earth. The two sunrises are the same points of the sun sets, that is because the two points of the sun rise are not on one side, actually, the biggest distance in the earth is the distance between the two sun rises. That is why those who were misled by their devil companion in this life will say to their companion, on the day of judgment
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَنَا قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرِينُصدق الله العظيم[الزخرف: 38]Until when he comes to Us, he says (to his companion): "O would that between me and you (there)were the distance between the two sun rises, what an evil companion[Surah:42 – Al-Zukhruf – Verse: 38]
That is because these two sun rises are the sun rises of the always awake land, where the sun never sets, which is the land that those who will be resurrected are going to be gathered to in order to live their second temporary life, in line with the versesيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ (10) أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً نَّخِرَةً (11) قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذاً كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ(12) فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (13) فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ صدق الله العظيم
[النازعات: 10-14]They say: "What? shall we be brought back to (our) former state, (10) even after we are carious bones?" (11) and they say: "That indeed shall be a losing return." (12) But verily, all it will take is a single foreboding (blast), (13) they will all be in the(always) awake (land); 'SAHIRA' [Surah: 79– An-Naziaat– Verse: 10-14
It is indeed a losing return if it was not for the Imam Mahdi. Actually, if it was not for Imam Mahdi by the permission of Allah, the Anti-Christ would deceive most Muslims, in line with the verseوَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لاَتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّيْطَانَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً
صدق الله العظيم
[النساء: 83]and if it was not for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy, you would follow Satan (the Devil) except a few(of you) [Surah: 4– An-Nisaa'– Verse: 83
It is called the return because it is a return to this worldly life. Allah SWT saidقُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿53﴾ وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ ﴿54﴾ وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ العَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ ﴿55﴾ أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ (56) أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿57﴾ أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿58﴾ بَلَى قَدْ جَاءتْكَ آيَاتِي فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ صدق الله العظيم [الزمر: 53-59]Say: "O my Servants who have acted extravagantly against themselves, do not despair of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives sins, all of them altogether, it is He who is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. (53) and turn you in repentance to your Lord and submit to Him, before the torment comes upon you; after that you shall not be helped. (54) And follow the best of what has been sent down to you from your Lord, before the torment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive.(55)Lest any soul should (then) say: 'The anguish is for me, in what I have neglected towards Allah, and having been of those who mocked. (56) Or it says: "If Allah had (only) guided me, I would have been among the pious;" (57) Or it says when it sees the torment: "If only there is a return for me, I would be among righteous." (58) Yes! My verses did come to you, but you belied them and showed you were haughty, and you were among the disbelievers[Surah: 39– Az-Zumur– Verse: 53-59]
That is what the people who Allah perished say after He punishes them and enters them to hell fire without injustice, but they were unjust to themselvesOr it says when it sees the torment: "If only there is a return for me, I would be among righteous." So the return is a return to this worldly life in live with the versesيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ (10) أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَاماً نَّخِرَةً (11) قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذاً كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ (12) فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ (13) فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
صدق الله العظيم[النازعات: 10-14]They say: "What! shall we be brought back to (our) former state, (10) even after we are carious bones?" (11) and they say: "That indeed shall be a losing return." (12) But verily, all it will take is a single foreboding (blast),(13) they will all be in the(always) awake (land); 'SAHIRA' [Surah: 79– An-Naziaat– Verse: 10-14]
So what is this 'awake' place? It is the land where the sun does not disappear as Zul-Qrnain (the one of two ages) found itحَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهَا سِتْرًاصدق الله العظيم[الكهف: 90]
Until when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made any shield against it[Surah: 18– Al-Kahf– Verse: 90]
Meaning: it is the land where the sun does not set. Because when the sun sets it rises from the same place it set at. That is because this land has two gates; one at the end of it towards the north and the other one is at the end of the land towards the south. So, when the sun sets at the southern gate it rises at the same time from the northern gate. For that Allah SWT saidحَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهَا سِتْرًاصدق الله العظيم[الكهف: 90]
Until when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made any shield against it[Surah: 18– Al-Kahf– Verse: 90]
That is the 'awake land' to where the return will be to live a peaceful life as long as Allah wills after the resurrection of the Day of Azifa (the day of the return). That is going to be after the mercy of Allah of bringing the Imam Mahdi by whom the following is fulfilledيَمْحُو اللّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِندَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِصدق الله العظيم[الرعد: 39]Allah erases what He wills and establishes (what He wills); and with Him is the Mother of The Book[Surah: 13– Ar-Raad– Verse: 39]
We have explained to you the earth of two sun rises in detail already. And here is a photo of one of the two gates. You can know about the other gate opposite to it, seeing that the light of the sun comes from inside the earth. Those who discovered this thought that there is a sun inside the earth but they are wrong. The light of the sun comes through the other gate on the other side of it; as you can see in the following photo on reality
My Muslim brothers, the photo above was taken by the satellites of the American Agency NASA. They did not know that it is going to be among the signs to believe (in the Qur'an). They did not have knowledge about the Leveled Land and they were astonished by the photo and thought that there is a sun inside our earth, but they are wrong. Actually, the light you see coming out of the inside of the earth is the light of the sun that enters through the opposite opening, either the southern or the northern gate. So the suns' rays come from the opposite gate as we have explained to you in detail from the Glorious Qur'an. Allah SWT saidوَيُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِهِ فَأَيَّ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ تُنكِرُونَصدق الله العظيم [غافر:81]And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allah do you then deny? [Surah: 40– Gafir– Verse: 81]
Regarding the question that my brother Abu-Muhammad Al-kabi askedإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَصدق الله العظيم [الأعراف: 152]Those who took the calf (for worship), indeed will incur wrath from their Lord and humiliation will afflict in this worldly life, and thus do We recompense the falsifiers[Surah: 7– Al-Aaraf– Verse: 152]
So why did not the word (incur) come in the past tense (incurred)? Does that mean that their torment will be in the future of this worldly life
?
We answer his question with the truth: in this verse the meaning is that they will be recompensed with a part of the torment in Hell Fire in the future after their death because of the wrath of their Lord unto those among them who died before repentance. For that Allah SWT said وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ صدق الله العظيم[الأعراف: 152]and thus do We recompense the falsifiers[Surah: 7– Al-Aaraf– Verse: 152]
meaning: Allah recompenses them with a humiliating torment
Regarding their humiliation in the worldly life before their death, Allah SWT saidوَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ وَالْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَاءُوا بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ صدق الله العظيم[البقرة: 61]Humiliation and destitution was struck upon them, and they drew upon themselves the wrath of Allah[Surah: 2– Al-Baqara– Verse: 61]
Regarding the next question from my brother Abu Muhammad Al-Kabi: What is meant by the torment in the worldly lifeإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَشِيعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَصدق الله العظيم[النور: 19]Those who would love gross indecency to spread amongst those who believe, for them is a painful torment in this worldly life and the hereafter, and Allah knows and you do not know[Surah: 24– An-Noor– Verse: 19]
We reply to him with the truth: That 'torment' is right after death when they are cast in hell fire to spend a transition in hell, (alongside this worldly life), as we explained in detail in the statements that deny torment in graves, and proved that the torment for souls after death is in hell fire
Moving to the next question form Abu-Muhammad Al-Kabi asking about the clarification of the verseثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ فِيمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (55) فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَأُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَاباً شَدِيداً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَاصِرِينَصدق الله العظيم[ال عمران: 55-56]Then shall you all return unto Me, and I will judge between you in what you were differing. (55) As for those who disbelieved, I punish them with a severe torment in this worldly life and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers[Surah: 3– Al-Imran– Verses: 55-56]
The answeras we proved before, that the 'torment' is in hell fire following their death as well as on the day of Thorough Resurrection. However, here it is not meant as torment during their life, but torment following their death alongside the worldly life and alsothe torment in the hereafter on the day when all people will rise before the Lord of the worlds
Now regarding the next question about the clarification of the versesالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمْ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ هُمْ بِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ (52) وَإِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مُسْلِمِينَ (53) أُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ صدق الله العظيم[القصص: 52-54]Those to whom We Have given the Book (the Scripture) before this, they are believers in it, (52) and when it (the Qur'an) is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it (this Qur'an). Indeed it is the Truth from our Lord. We were, even before it came, Muslims (submitters to God). (53) (Such people as) these will be given their recompense twice over, for that they patiently endured and that they repel evil with good, and that they spend out (of the sustenance) of what We have given them (for the cause of God)[Surah: 28– Al-Qasas– Verses: 52-54
Here you want to understand the true meaning ofأُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ these will be given their recompense twice over,
Allah does not mean twice as one in this worldly life and the other in the hereafter, because righteous people only die once in line with the verseلَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَى صدق الله العظيم [الدخان: 56]They will not taste death in it, except the first death;
[Surah: 44– Ad-Dukhan– Verses: 56]
The true clarification of what Allah saidأُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِthese will be given their recompense twice over,
is that they will be rewarded for following (Jesus) Isa son of Mary the messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family as well as the reward for following Muhammad the messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family
While regarding your next question which is important, you asked for the clarification of the following verse
وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِنْ الأَعْرَابِ مُنَافِقُونَ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُوا عَلَى النِّفَاقِ لا تَعْلَمُهُمْ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٍصدق الله العظيم[التوبة:101]And from among those who are around you of the Bedouin there are hypocrites, and from among the people of Al-Madina, they are inured to hypocrisy. You (O Muhammad) do not know them, We know them. We will torture them twice, and after that they will be brought back to a great torment[Surah: 9– At-Tawba– Verses: 101]
That first torment is after their first death in the first transition after they lived their first life. While the second torment is going to be after their second death after they spent their second life. While regardingثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٍ and after that they will be brought back to a great torment
That is going to be on the day of thorough resurrection. They will say thenقالوا ربنا أمتنا اثنتين وأحييتنا اثنتين فاعترفنا بذنوبنا فهل إلى خروج من سبيلصدق الله العظيم[غافر: 11]They say: "O our Lord, You Have made us die twice, and You Have revived us twice, so we acknowledge our sins. Is there still a way out [Surah: 40– Ghafir– Verses: 11]
The brother of the righteous preceding supporters; Imam Mahdi Nasser Muhammad Al-Yemeni
Regarding the question that my brother Abu-Muhammad Al-kabi askedإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَصدق الله العظيم [الأعراف: 152]Those who took the calf (for worship), indeed will incur wrath from their Lord and humiliation will afflict in this worldly life, and thus do We recompense the falsifiers[Surah: 7– Al-Aaraf– Verse: 152]
So why did not the word (incur) come in the past tense (incurred)? Does that mean that their torment will be in the future of this worldly life
?
We answer his question with the truth: in this verse the meaning is that they will be recompensed with a part of the torment in Hell Fire in the future after their death because of the wrath of their Lord unto those among them who died before repentance. For that Allah SWT said وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ صدق الله العظيم[الأعراف: 152]and thus do We recompense the falsifiers[Surah: 7– Al-Aaraf– Verse: 152]
meaning: Allah recompenses them with a humiliating torment
Regarding their humiliation in the worldly life before their death, Allah SWT saidوَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ وَالْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَاءُوا بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ صدق الله العظيم[البقرة: 61]Humiliation and destitution was struck upon them, and they drew upon themselves the wrath of Allah[Surah: 2– Al-Baqara– Verse: 61]
Regarding the next question from my brother Abu Muhammad Al-Kabi: What is meant by the torment in the worldly lifeإِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَشِيعَ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لا تَعْلَمُونَصدق الله العظيم[النور: 19]Those who would love gross indecency to spread amongst those who believe, for them is a painful torment in this worldly life and the hereafter, and Allah knows and you do not know[Surah: 24– An-Noor– Verse: 19]
We reply to him with the truth: That 'torment' is right after death when they are cast in hell fire to spend a transition in hell, (alongside this worldly life), as we explained in detail in the statements that deny torment in graves, and proved that the torment for souls after death is in hell fire
Moving to the next question form Abu-Muhammad Al-Kabi asking about the clarification of the verseثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ فِيمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ (55) فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَأُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَاباً شَدِيداً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ نَاصِرِينَصدق الله العظيم[ال عمران: 55-56]Then shall you all return unto Me, and I will judge between you in what you were differing. (55) As for those who disbelieved, I punish them with a severe torment in this worldly life and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers[Surah: 3– Al-Imran– Verses: 55-56]
The answeras we proved before, that the 'torment' is in hell fire following their death as well as on the day of Thorough Resurrection. However, here it is not meant as torment during their life, but torment following their death alongside the worldly life and alsothe torment in the hereafter on the day when all people will rise before the Lord of the worlds
Now regarding the next question about the clarification of the versesالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمْ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ هُمْ بِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ (52) وَإِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مُسْلِمِينَ (53) أُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ صدق الله العظيم[القصص: 52-54]Those to whom We Have given the Book (the Scripture) before this, they are believers in it, (52) and when it (the Qur'an) is recited to them, they say: "We believe in it (this Qur'an).

Here you want to understand the true meaning ofأُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ these will be given their recompense twice over,
Allah does not mean twice as one in this worldly life and the other in the hereafter, because righteous people only die once in line with the verseلَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتَ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْأُولَى صدق الله العظيم [الدخان: 56]They will not taste death in it, except the first death;
[Surah: 44– Ad-Dukhan– Verses: 56]
The true clarification of what Allah saidأُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِthese will be given their recompense twice over,
