1 Enoch 98
Verse 4
“I have sworn unto you, ye sinners, as a mountain has not
become a slave, and a bill does not become the handmaid of a woman, even so sin
has not been sent upon the earth, but man of himself has created it, and a
great curse shall they fall who commit it.”
“sin has not been sent upon the earth, but man of himself
has created it”
The Qur’an also has many attestations that say that God
only brings blessings and it is man who created sin and suffering.
Verse 6
“I have sworn unto you, ye sinners, by the Holy Great
One, that all your evil deeds are revealed in the heavens, and that none of
your deeds of oppression are covered and hidden.”
“all your evil deeds are revealed in the heavens”
There is a realm in which every action that is done,
every intention that is possessed is exposed.
In the realm of clarity, nothing is hidden. When one is able to see into this new
dimension (usually referred to as “heaven” because of its extrinsic nature),
one can see thoughts and actions in all possible sites and locations (whether
it is inside a room or inside one’s own imagination and even in certain regions
of time). Everything that manifests
explicit and eternal; all is transparent.
Verse 7
“And do not think in your spirit, nor say in your heart,
that ye do not know and that ye do not see that every sin is every day recorded
in heaven in presence of the Most High.”
This verse implies that we know and see in our hearts and
our spirit about this realm in which all is revealed and permanent (from 1 Enoch 98:6). Deep down, we know that we cannot deny that
we know about this realm, since we can derive this statement from knowing that
truth is undeniable and unalterable. No
matter how well a secret is kept, it is still part of reality, it is still part
of the truth; no matter how much one tries to hide it, it can never be
destroyed. By understanding the essence
of this truth, we inherently and undeniably certify that realm in which everything
is recorded.
