انسان

Who is INSAAN?

Remember you were combined with devil and then descended to this earth, this earth which is a ground for purification and repentance so that your original singularity shines and you get rid of this duality, this duality that you experience now because of combination:

انس  +  جان  =  انسان  + ج

As Allah is one and has asked you to be one, sometime this duality has to be cut off, killed or separated by force. If you notice this combination as above it will be clear that this separation is not possible without the use of force. These Arabic words given an equation shows that when ins (انس) and gaaan (جان) merge, insaan (انسان) is created and one letter “ج” is left out. This “ج“reflects effort, handwork, struggle.

As insaan (انسان) you have to struggle which is not your inherent property now, you have to acquire it from external source so the world is created for this struggle.

When insaan ( انسان)acquire this struggle, this struggle is to be used to separate yourself, separate the duality of ins ( انس) and gaan (جان ) , and when this separation occur each one can see whether they reach there heaven or hell. This is the separation that will occur in the afterlife where you will have no power or struggle. As much as you require gaan (جان), the other part requires ins (انس). Now both are your parts but in afterlife you will be with either one of them and it will be said:

فيومئذ لا يسئل عن ذنبه   انس ولا جان

(on that day no one will be asked whom they followed, ins (انس ) nor gaan ( جان))

If you struggle more on the ins (انس) side you are more toward your soul which is one of your another body, this type of struggle commonly known as jihad bil nafs.

If you struggle more o the gaan (جان) side, you are more toward your outer and external world and thus require more force, this known as jihad bil jism.

When insaan uses this force represented by “ ج “ in equation, he can earn either heaven (جنت ) or hell (جهنم )

You are with both of them but sooner or later you will have to abandon both your coverings and come face to face with your Creator and realize:

ويبقى وجه ربك

(And there remain the face of your lord)

Now realize this wonderful aspect. As a Muslim you are to maintain this combination in this world, your struggle is to save insaan ( انسان), save humanity, hold them together in this fine balance, because you know that Allah has joined you in this affair and you uphold HIS order. When you struggle to preserve this affair, on the day of separation, Allah will preserve you. All the others who deviated to either side will follow on either one side of ins (انس) or gaan (جان). Some of them will see Jalal (جلال) and some Ikram (اكرام) i.e. some will be dealt with severely and some respected.

The plural of ins (انس) is alnas (الناس). This is the part of you which has been addressed in Quran when it says:

يا ايها الناس

You will not find in Quran addressing to you as:

يا ايها الجان

Why? The ins ( انس) part of you is the forgotten one, has forgot its origin, is loving one where it belongs i.e. in its physical body, so it is complacent and does not want to move. By addressing this part Quran is a reminder, a remembrance of its higher origin, it encourages this part to move and make effort. While doing so this part has to overcome its inertia and then master its counterpart i.e. gaan(جان ) . This is your internal effort, your internal jihad.

Also see that some people feel contented and safe with their self, there soul while some people feel contented with their work and effort. But if you have understood this equation both these paths are not inherently safe and the only true safe path is the way of Allah. Remember and hold on to this.
