When you read Quran, many a time you’ll notice Allah saying that he is always with us, he sees everything we do. It’s true, Allah created humans with his spirit, he taught the spirit conscience, he taught the spirit morality.
Allah’s noor is encompassing the earth and space, and everything in between. It’s always going through us. Our soul is a particle of his noor. But soul is very gentle and humble, it never forces itself on us, it lets our body and mind do whatever they want. The soul gives us free will. We never really pay attention to what soul is saying. The nafs is our open enemy, it pushes the soul in a corner, doesnt let it take over.
When we unite with our soul, we unite with God, then we can do wonders in the world. Then you can become superman, spiderman, Mr. Incredible, The hero, Rumi, Jinah, Gandhi, edhi, the good don, hatim tai, Birbal. You can quietly do you work, inside u will be an ocean of wonders. But you cant tell anyone, because it is incomprehensible to a normal mind.
You taste the heaven when you are living, because when you fight against your nafs and die fighting on the right path, it doesnt matter weather you live or die. You go beyond time and space. Because soul is noor, its not matter.
When the body unites with the soul, thats the Mairaj of a human. You find God, you find heaven, thats where prophets are, thats where their families are, thats where their companions are. Thats the reason and purpose of life.
Mairaj is the highest level of heaven, even angels are not that close to God, because humans go there with their free will.
