Ending to what end?

The unexpected cough, the unstoppable sneeze or the inexorable blinking of your eyes, all are signs of Allah’s encompassing power. They are signs of His easy ability to end you without warning. Science may have names and biology reasons, but when these names and reasons come between man and belief instead of supporting man and belief, they are detrimental. They cloud the issue, they fog the mind, and they are misdirection for our purpose and ends. The ‘spiritual’ is a reality that we can hint at and sense but can in no way grasp. That is why it is belief and not provable, repeatable scientific fact. So these small events of unstoppable force are signs. They are the intersection between the physical, the psychic and the spiritual, and these signs contain lessons and warnings. By default it seems, we end up following our base nature which is rooted in fear and turns through arrogance to scorn our own deaths; it becomes as if we and we alone are the exceptions to the rule, and this is the dangerous sort of belief. We hide in the explanations of science, among the multitude of our flock, ignoring as we do so the grisly fact that we have all of us been bred for the slaughter. It is not that you will end, it is in what state that end will occur. There is after all, more to come. You have been warned.
