Nobody has got ghost, according to Quran.

This discussion with Emre is, frankly, closer to a discussion of the abilities and powers of the characters in a game of Warcraft, or Dungeons and Dragons. It's not even "religion" any more.

Emre, it seems, has a rather unique, perhaps even singular, take on his professed religion of Islam. Perhaps viewing it as a discussion of Emreism would keep you a little more on track.

The Chinese belief was in five elements: water, metal, fire, earth, and

D&D makes more sense.

The cells in your body are constantly renewing. Or your body is being renewed as the pieces of you fall to the ground (your fingernails or the first teeth that fall out). So the old dead body parts no longer belong to you.

That doesn't even begin to answer my question. Do our dead bodies get poofed into this new universe of yours and revived post mortem?

Because, let me tell you, I've been to a fair few wakes in my day and I've never seen the deceased disappear, not once.

 

[Mojo]

I got that.

The djin of cardboard and string would be Bluebottle.

 

[Leumas]

Saying that anything sentient is made of fire or air, exposes a sordidly egregious lack of knowledge of Chemistry and the Periodic Table and science altogether.

Bodies like your old teeth. It has no connection to your living body.

 

[Emre_1974tr]

By the way, just because jinn are created from fire does not make them like fire. Just as our bodies created from mud/clay do not resemble earth.

No... living beings are not created... let alone from mud or clay or fire.

Only ones who are abjectly benighted about Chemistry and Biology and REALITY believe this codswallop... like camel caravan pillagers from 1400 years ago....

I don't know 'bout you, but I ain't made of no mud, blood.

My mama done made me in her lady-belly, as the good lord intenid, hallyloojeh!. No clay required, no sir, not a speck.

A hunnerd p'sint hoomin meat, true an' proper. Thas why the mamas an' aunties do cook up an' eat up the grampy stew when one o' the old'uns karks it.

Af'rawl, if'n some pro-teen get wasted, Gawd gets quite irate, or so I'm tole.

Praise be, n'such.

Bodies like your old teeth. It has no connection to your living body.

It sounds like you're preaching dualism. Are you trying to argue that Islam teaches an animistic dualism? Because if you are, your thread title makes no sense. The question asks what part of your being undergoes the afterlife if your body is still in the grave. If what's in the grave is not your essential self, then what is?

By the way, just because jinn are created from fire does not make them like fire. Just as our bodies created from mud/clay do not resemble earth.

Non sequitur. Jinns are mythical creatures, so you can imagine any origin for them that you want. But human beings are not made from clay. This we can observe.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

But Jinn aren't real.

Holy Quran
35:11 And [remember:] God creates [every one of] you out of dust, then out of a drop of sperm; and then He fashions you into either of the two sexes.

But Jinn .

They are Real.

Your book is wrong. That is not how humans are made.

I admit that my "lady-belly" description is somewhat less than scientific, but it's still a damn sight closer to reality than your (arguably misogynistic) fairy story.

Also, dust is not the same thing as clay and/or mud.
