In moments when the earth is narrow with all its spaciousness, and man thinks that his sufferings have reached the end, submission to the wisdom of the Almighty shines like an uninterrupted thread of light, connecting the heart of the servant to his Creator. This faith is not just a fleeting feeling, but rather the firm awareness that God does not decree a matter except that there is hidden good in it, even if it appears on the surface to be a curse that destroys the soul and body. As the Truth, Glory be to Him, the Most High, said in Surat Al-Baqarah: {In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful…And it may be that you hate a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing and it is evil for you. And God knows and you do not know.. God Almighty has spoken the truth. Here the spiritual constitution and safe haven to face the darkest adversity is revealed; The limitedness of human perception stands powerless in the face of the comprehensiveness of divine knowledge, and within the folds of every hardship lies a divine gift whose secret is only understood by the patient and certain that the Supreme Divine Self manages its kingdom with care that does not neglect and a balance that does not shift.
On the other side of the world, specifically in the corridors of the Spanish judiciary, the story of the young woman “Noelia” emerged to embody a bitter struggle between broken will and the bitterness of helplessness. She jumped from the fifth-floor window in the Spanish city of San Pere de Ribes in a moment of despair. It was not the result of coincidence, but rather the culmination of an arduous journey with depression that had consumed her soul since the age of thirteen. When Noelia woke up, she found herself facing a tragic physical reality; Following a severe rupture of the spinal cord, it left behind hemiplegia and chronic, unrelenting nerve pain. While she was waiting for a hand to extend her brokenness, she collided with social systems that adopted a dry materialistic philosophy, legitimizing “euthanasia” as an alternative solution to containment. Instead of preserving her right to life, the doors of abandonment were opened before her under the name of the right to end. Despite the persistent attempts of some clerics to dissuade her from her decision and remind her of the sanctity of life, their efforts collided with a wall of despair that had become entrenched in her conscience through years of emptiness of faith. In a scene overflowing with grief, the father tried to save his life from the claws of this path, arguing that the burden of mental illness prevented his daughter from seeing properly, but the Supreme Court settled the controversy by rejecting his appeal, considering ending life a “fundamental right.”
This scene does not merely represent a legal problem, but rather it is a laboratory revelation of the lack of certainty in the soul that has not been watered by the water of faith since its inception. That soul that left confronting fate to turn into a desire to escape from it through legal justifications that allow the taking of life. The spiritual emptiness that infiltrates a person’s conscience since his childhood is what makes pain an unbearable obstacle instead of a bridge to cross, and it is what transforms the soul from a trust entrusted by the Creator in the body into a “burden” whose owner searches for any means to get rid of it, ignoring that the right to recover the deposit belongs only to its giver. The soul in the balance of heaven is the highest secret. God mentioned it in places full of awe. It is from “the command of my Lord,” and the breath that made Adam a normal human being.
Based on the above, we realize that life, in its essence, is not a private property that we dispose of its papers as we wish, but rather it is a divine text written with the ink of wisdom before we were born, and we are only readers required to complete reading until the last line, no matter how faltering the steps. The merciful death promoted by the material world is nothing but a desperate attempt to exceed the limits of divine providence and involve human inability in the fate of fate. These people ignore that when the soul suffers, it does not ask to leave the body, but rather seeks liberation from narrow-mindedness to broad contentment. Death will remain the greatest manifestation of “the truth,” and its timing is the time interval that no earthly court has the power to shift, because the one who destined the affliction is the same one who has stored within it the secret of the passage to eternal peace.
