Introduction
What does the word "eternity" mean to
you?
One always tends to associate the concept of eternity
with figures such as a thousand years, one million or a billion years.
Such a concept of time seems to suggest an everlasting period. Similarly,
what the concept of "infinite distance" evokes in the mind is
great distances, like a hundred thousand or a million light years.
Nevertheless, even if you endeavour to think of the
greatest figure possible, you are still limited by the intellectual capacity
of your mind. An example would contribute to a fuller understanding of
the extraordinary extent of eternity:if a quadrillion of people spent
all their lives, lasting also a quadrillion years, doing nothing but counting
numbers, day and night without stopping, they would still fail to arrive
at eternity, since eternity as a concept has no beginning and no end.
However, in the sight of God, the Almighty, this concept
of the "everlasting" and accordingly absolutely incomputable,
has already ended. Eternity, which appears to be an unattainable concept
for us, is actually just a single moment in the sight of God.
This book presents to you unprecedented explanations
of timelessness, spacelessness and eternity, and makes you confront an
important fact: that eternity has already begun. The realization of this
fact will make you once again appreciate God, the Almighty and Exalted,
and His creation. Meanwhile, you will find comprehensible answers to some
frequently asked questions: Where is God? What is the resurrection? What
is the true nature of death? Is there an endless life? and When will all
these happen?
Yet, before proceeding with these issues, some concepts
like "the real nature of matter" and "timelessness,"
will be dealt with in detail for a better comprehension of the above-mentioned
subject.
