Crawling in my skin
Allah, the only God there is. Only He knows what each and everyone of us will become of. He knows everything that happened in the past and what lies ahead. He knows if dinosaurs had actually roamed this earth, he knows what creatures inhabit the other planets and he knows how we were developed in our mother's womb. His knowledge covers everything. He is The Most Loving, He is The Most Caring and His Promises are far from doubt.
Recently, researches had discovered that if humans had no skin, we will not know the word pain. We won't feel it if a needle was injected and we won't feel pain if we accidentally stepped on a nail. But that does not mean we are to test the validity of this theory. Allah is The Most Intelligent. If Allah had not put this feature on humans, we are deemed to be shattered and everything would end tragically. Sadly, I hear that there are those who cannot feel pain due to a certain illness or disease that person is suffering.
In the earlier articles, I have mentioned the consequences of those who are disobedient to Allah will suffer great torment in Hell for an unknown period of time. Each time the non-believers skins are burnt, it will be replaced with a new one and that will go on for the eternity. Allah is The Most Forgiving. Another thing that we need to know about the skin is, it is the most sensitive part of our body. Try pinching your hand slightly, you will feel blood come rushing. Allah will make those who did not obey His rules and regulations experience a pain that is indescribable and make the skin as the main "ingredient".
There are terms which are used for those who have escaped from being ravished by fire or the kind. First degree burn, second degree burn and a third degree burn. Burn is generally an injury to the tissues of the body. First degree burn (light) are burns on the upper layer of the skin and those who felt this burn may or may not have a mark. More so like a person who is being "teased" with the tip of a burning cigar or caused by a mild sunburn, very little pain or no pain. Second burns are those whose burns which had slightly touched the flesh of the sufferer which would cause the burned area to be swollen and red. The pain is heartfelt and the color of the burnt skin may be white and discolored in some areas. This is often caused by flames or a person accidently being dragged behind a car (due to friction between the body and the gravel pit or tar pit)
A third degree burn is perhaps the most severe burn anyone could ever experience. Its the type that will leave a scar permanently on your body. Ironically, a person who experienced this won't feel any pain since the nerve endings have been destroyed. Also, this could be the most death defying moments anyone could encounter because you either die during the fire or narrowly escaped death. Possibly, this type of burn can even penetrate to the human bones.
The purpose of this article is to "enlighten" us with the severity of the hellfire that awaits hypocrites, infidels, disbelievers, companions of satan and the such. As mentioned by Allah in the Qur'an:
Those who reject Our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire; as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the Penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. [An-Nisaa': 56]
