Ebediyet Yolculugu: Ölüm, Kabir, Kiyamet ve Ötesi

by Osman Nuri Topbaş

Original bdg. 16,00 / 23,00 cm. In Turkish. 480 p. Insani ölüm ve ötesinin hakîkatine vâkif edebilmek; ne cehâlet karanligiyla bulanik beserî bilgilerin, ne vesveselerle karisik sakat felsefelerin, ne de ipe sapa gelmez bâtil kanaatlerin kâridir. Ölüm karanliklari, böylesine "kisa mesafe" isiklariyla aydinlatilamaz. Vahiyden feyizlenmeyen nâkis bir aklin kirik dökük bilgileri ve nefsânî telâkkîleriyle ölüm ve âhiret vâdisinde dolasmaya kalkismak, ebedî hayati büsbütün tehlikeye atmaktir. Zira ebediyet yolculuguna dâir ilâhî dayanaktan mahrum beserî bilgiler ve bozuk mantiklar, tabut gölgesinde eriyip gitmeye, kabir karanliklarinda çürümeye mahkûm olan faydasiz sermayelerdir. Ölümler, sessiz ve kelimesiz derslerdir ki; duygulu ve hassas gönüllere en fasih sözlerden daha tesirli bir ibret ve hikmet sergiler. Ölüm, lisân-i hâliyle, derin bir sükûta ne muazzam mânâlar gömmüstür... Kur'ân ve Sünnet ikliminde, ölümün tefekkürüyle aydinlanmamis bir hayat, karanlik bir musîbet gecesinden farksizdir. Ebedî saâdet günesi; ilâhî beyanlar isiginda bir ömür sürüp müsterih bir vicdanla âhirete intikâl etmesini bilenlerin ufuklarindan dogar. Ecel rüzgâriyla savrulan ömür harmaninda Hak'tan gâfil olanlara ise, ne arkalarinda biraktiklari dünya aglar, ne de karsilarina dikilen âhiret tebessüm eder!..
