Proof #6: Indignities of old age


And there are some of you who are caused to die prematurely, and there are others who are driven to the worst part of life with the result that they knew nothing after having had knowledge (22:6) more translations

In this verse, Allah categorizes people into two groups based on their lifespan:

  • The first group, which comprises the majority of mankind, includes those who die prematurely. They could have lived longer if not for illnesses, accidents, or harm.
  • The second group includes those who reach the natural limits of their life, progressively losing control over their faculties as they transition from life towards death. Allah refers to this as the “worst” part of life, a state of existence that is loathsome and wretched. Mentally, they devolve, becoming child-like. Further decline wipes out their life memories. Advanced cerebral activities slow down, and brain functions are limited to controlling respiration and heart rhythm. For those who continue to live, their minds transform into empty canvases, stripped of lingering memories, emotions, or sensations. Ultimately, death compassionately takes those who, in essence, had departed much earlier.
Given this, it's clear that Allah, the Creator who understands the design of man, divides mankind into these two groups. Jesus, being human, must fall into one of these groups. Either he met his death at its appointed and appropriate time two thousand years ago, or he is still alive, subject to the inevitable ravages of time. If still living, his physical and mental state would have declined so significantly that his existence would be inconsequential. In such a condition, his ongoing survival could not be of any advantage to him or humanity.

This is very interesting. Wonder who heard & wrote the conversation between Allah & Jesus.

From ur arguments it seems that you dont have faith or belief in the supernatural. Allah may as he wish raise anyone to heaven as he pleases anytime and bring them back down to earth as so he pleases. Even if Jesus fell into the categorie you mentioned, Allah can override the clauses you mentioned there, as Allah is all powerful.

And about dividing mankind into groups, I dont suppose you are the all wise here to do that. Your knowledge maybe only a drop in the ocean.

The division into the two groups can be directly deduced from the verse itself.

The "override" could happen, but only if there was an exception mentioned here or elsewhere in the Holy Quran.

"..there are some....and there are others.."

Only two groups are mentioned here else it would have been.

"there are some..and the remaining..."

It is not specific to two groups alone.

And one more thing, your indexing for quite a few of the verses are one ahead, this verse is 22:5

This is funny , your arguements are silly and wouldnt convince anyone to your corrupt agenda .

Lets assume for the sake of arguements that Jesus did really fell into one of these human category as you mentioned and therefore according to you every human must die including Jesus that means Jesus wasnt ressurected either as in your bible because how can a dead person then gets up after 3 days and the fly on sky and goes to heaven?

lol , i know that did hurt..
