174 MALFŪZĀT - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF URDU VOLUME 8 The Promised Messiahas said: Maulā Bas An uncle of mine had died a long time ago. I saw him in my dream once and inquired about the conditions in the Hereafter-how a person dies and what happens. He said: When a man's moment arrives, there is a strange scene. Two angels clad in white appear and say: مولا بس۔ مولا بس Maulā bas! Maulā bas!-Lord, enough! Lord, enough!] (The Promised Messiahas added: Truly when a beneficent personage departs, the appropriate expression is: مولا بس ]Maula bas-Lord, enough!]) Then coming close, the angels place two fingers outside the nose [and exclaim]: اے رُوح! جس راہ سے آئی تھی اسی راہ سے واپس نکل آ۔ O soul, come out the way by which you entered. The Promised Messiahas said: The laws of nature indicate that the soul enters the body through the nose and also departs the same way. The Torah also confirms that the soul is breathed into the body through the nostrils. The Hereafter is a world of mysteries that one cannot even fully fathom in this life.
