165- What Does “Destroyed” Mean?
So, when the Quran says, "Everything will be spiritually promoted except His Face," it does not say the word "destroyed." This verse confirms my notions: the origin of the word "promote" does not mean destruction; it is promotion and transformation. As people may think, death does not mean nothingness and destruction. The physical body does not get destroyed, let alone the spirit (as proven earlier). Therefore, death, passing away, perish, and these sorts of words are nothing but spiritual promotion and change (in appearance).
Yes: "everything will be spiritually promoted" everything is prone to transformation and promotion, "except His Face," Except for what is His will, the face of God that receives no transformations. Have we not mentioned that changes and transformations and growing and shrinking, and such transformations do not occur in the spirit?
It has no beginning and no end. Moreover, it does not perish. Now, how can such a thing be mortal?
