From life to life..
Hossam Badrawi
Life, according to people, is the opposite of death, whereby life is considered a state that distinguishes all living things, even microorganisms, from non-living things. An organism is characterized by its ability to live and grow through reproduction and metabolism (metabolism is the sum of the building and demolition processes in the cell) to ensure the continuity of its biological type, and its ability to adapt to its environment through physical and sometimes genetic changes.
With a comprehensive view of the Earth’s surface, great and enormous diversity of life forms and structures can be seen. Some definitions of life stress the condition of reproductive potential with a number of adaptive adjustments. From this point of view, viruses, for example, turn into a kind of vital manifestations when a living organism hosts them, allowing them to multiply despite the fact that they are acellular and do not perform any kind of metabolism.
And some philosophers exalt the sexual impulse in humans and animals, and make of it the basic foundation upon which the life of the individual and the group revolves. Hence, sex is the key to human behavior, and on the basis of it all human behavior can be explained from the ground up.
As for life, for me, it has another concept: cumulative and cumulative. Although it pertains to each human being in itself, all human beings affect each other, and human achievements accumulate and are transmitted from one generation to another, which makes every creature an impact on those who come in several. Life is not a personal experience but a collective experience that has a cumulative effect.
As for children, they inherit our experiences, and add to it. And the smartest of us – from the older generations – learn from his children as well, because they get the knowledge and skills of all of the people who preceded them, as he gives them his experiences, and humanity as a group does the same thing.
Man has multiple lives prior to his creation and formation, ending with his birth to emerge for a second life in which his awareness and awareness are formed, which is the life we live.. This life begins with the formation of his body and with it his soul, and their existence is linked to his soul, and ends with the exit of the soul and its return to its Creator, so the body falls and the soul dies.. That is, the component of the life we live is: a spirit, which is from the command of God; A soul lives and dies, “every soul will taste death.” A conscious body and mind are nothing but the carrier from a previous life to a life to come.
After the death of the soul and the departure of the soul and the dissolution of the body, its biological components return to the earth, and nothing remains of this human being except the results of his work and his memory in the consciousness of those who lived with him or were affected by his presence. All human beings make history, paving the way for new generations with a different quality of life, generation after generation.
At the moment of transition to the next life and the separation of loved ones, there is nothing left but the soul that returns to God.. The soul is the one who lives the next life, and the soul and body were only a means for the presence of this soul in this material universe.
Birth and death are inevitable and inevitable, even they are similar, when we are born we cry when we come as the first manifestations of life independent of the mother, and when we leave they cry for us, we hold a birth certificate in our hand and when we leave we get a death certificate.
If we understand that, why should a person fear death?
Psychology has focused on this phenomenon and restricted it to four fears: fear of the unknown, fear of suffering, fear of loneliness, and fear of personal fading out.
The concepts of life and death in Islamic thought do not correspond to the concepts of existence and non-existence as in the beliefs and philosophies that deny retribution in the afterlife. The worldly life represents the first stage of human existence, just as death represents the end of this stage and the beginning of a new stage for that existence, which is the afterlife. The basis is that death is not a nihilistic matter, rather it is an existential matter, as in the Almighty’s saying: “He who created death and life to test you which of you is best in deed.”
As for immortality, it is eternal life that has no limit or end, and it is a term that is usually applied to the stage after death, meaning that a person was born to remain incorruptible, because death is not the end of the road, but rather a transition from one state to another, from this life to life. other, and this survival falls within the two well-known concepts.
Death follows us through multiple images. When a friend, lover, or relative dies, we are overwhelmed by pain and sadness. The source of this sadness is not only the loss of a person dear to us, but also our annoyance and sadness at the loss of a part of our life that is missing with the departure of that person. We have been associated for many years with that friend or lover, and our lives have been shaped according to our habit of seeing that person and meeting him daily, and in his absence what we used to practice with the one who died is absent.
With the death of loved ones, that part of our life that was connected to them dies. With the passage of time, we form daily habits in which the one who has gone does not occupy a place, and thus the sadness diminishes and fades little by little as the separation period of the beloved is far away!!. Our grief may, in fact, be focused in some way on the loss of what we used to practice in our lives with the one who died, with evidence that we may hear the news of the death of a person with whom we have no connection from near or far, and we receive the news without experiencing the same type of sadness, And without tears for us, despite our general human impact.
Imam Ali bin Abi Talib says:
“Yesterday I was your companion, and today I am a lesson to you, and tomorrow I will leave you, may God forgive you and me.”
The understanding of the dialectic of death and life is confusing, for the origin of existence is based on death in life, and life in death. This surprising and confusing contrast is evident between nature’s crushing of the individual, and the insistent preservation of the human species – in the words of the philosopher Schopenhauer.
The truth of the matter is that death is not opposed to life, but rather a transition from one life to another.
Hegel, one of the most important German philosophers, and one of the founders of the idealist movement, says: “Death is the reconciliation of the soul with itself. Death is love itself. In death, absolute love is revealed. It is the unity of what is divine with what is human, and God is one with Himself in man.

From pain
Life is born and from life there is death. Plato, the first and most famous philosopher in the world, took a belief and defense of the doctrine of immortality from the succession of opposites as evidence of the immortality of the soul, and that there is another eternal life for the righteous soul.
Humans have realized through the heavenly messages that the matter of the soul is in the hands of God, and that He is the giver of life, and He is the one who possesses the secrets of death and life. With certainty of faith, a person is satisfied with the decree of God and his destiny and thanks him for the blessing of life despite his noble pain of parting with loved ones, for God has not given and God has not taken.
I believe that there is a total will in nature, as God created it, that focuses on preserving life in species, and therefore it is concerned with preserving species in plants, insects, animals and humans, and in its concern for species it does not pay attention to individuals as we think.
All of this ran through my mind as I bid farewell to a beloved son in my heart and I see this love that surrounds him. I said to myself: This is a person who left the life we live and left behind an enormous amount of impact…love, affection, and a smile for the memory of his existence. I can’t find a human being like this honor that Dr. Amr Abul-Ezz, Dean of the Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, a generous young man who embodied humanity in its finest form.
Wisdom says:
“Death does not concern me, because I do not consider it the end. Rather, what worries me is that I die without leaving a legacy.” And what a beautiful thing you left in us and for us, son, friend and professor. I know that you are in a better place, surrounded by God’s mercy and love.. It does not come to accept your plight with satisfaction, smile and open heart, and the sincerity of people’s love that you saw in your farewell comes only if God’s love includes you, permeates you and protects you.
