This news is, of course, a few days old, and the web is flooded with articles on it, but it is humorous and comical enough to be worth writing upon. A Russian "scientist" claims to be able to give us the option of immortality in holographic avatars by 2045, saying that this is how we will be able to defeat sickness, old age, and even death. Could anything, I ask you, be more preposterous than what this cartoon has suggested?
Being human is synonymous with being mortal, immortality is in total negation of the human existence. Everybody knows and believes that, not only Muslims (even though they might verbally deny it, but in their heart, they are forced to believe it). Infact, the only reality about this life is DEATH!
Allah says in the Quran in three different places, "EVERY SOUL SHALL TASTE DEATH"
In another verse, "Wherever you are, death will reach you, even though you may be in fortified and strong forts." So, whether we hide ourselves in forts or in holographic avatars, there is no running away from death.
How can we defy sickness, old age and death, whereas this is the road that every human who has ever been born into this world has traversed??
I think that this Russian won't even live to 2045, caught by the same thing he was trying to help himself and the world escape from - death!
The truth of the matter is that these people are scared to death of death! (pun unintended) They cannot bear to be seperated from their earthly abode because they have been intoxicated with the superficial glitter and glamour of worldly life, knowing that the imminent arrival of death will herald nothing but eternal pain and punishment.
Allah says in the Quran, "And most definitely, you will find them, from amongst all people, the most greedy over life" and "they want to be given a life of 1000 years, whereas even if they are given this life, it wouldn't be able to save them from punishment." Don't these divine words fit perfectly?
This is the reality which we want to shy away from, which we want to deny.
This short worldly life has been thought to be the be all and end all, and this is the exact reason why such heinious crimes as total world control and enslavement, and eradication of entire populaces are perpetrated. If people had death and retribution infront of them, would they be able to muster up such courage and boldness???
