Answer:
Meaning of
verse Die in land & thinking with mind or heart
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Surah Luqman
Chapter 31 verses 34
Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah
(alone). It is He Who sends down rain
and He Who knows what is in the wombs.
Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: nor
does anyone know in what land he is to die.
Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all
things)
Firstly one must understand that the Glorious
Quran is a Book of Guidance from the All Merciful, All Knowing Lord, and
everything that pertains to man’s guidance is embedded in the Glorious Quran.
My dear beloved Brother, when Allah swt states that
"Nor does anyone know in what land he is to die" means that no human
being knows in which place he will die, because that is in the sole knowledge
of our Lord and Creator.
The Quran was revealed in
The word land is used because at the time of revelation if
Allah swt had used space the people would not have understood. Land here would
mean any place in the creation of Allah swt
My beloved brother in Islam, the Glorious Quran are the
very words of the Lord Who Created the heavens and the earth and everything
that exists in between; and the All-Mighty All-Powerful One Alone
more than suffices to defend His Words!
Praise be to Allah Subhanah Alone, the Creator
of the heavens and the earth and all that exists between it!!!!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 67 Surah
Al-Mulk verses 1-2:
1 Blessed be He
(Allah) in Whose Hands is Dominion: and He over all things has Power!
2 He, Who created
death and life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the
Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verse 46:
46 Do
they not travel through the land so that their hearts (and mind) may thus learn
wisdom and their ears may thus learn to hear? Truly it is not their eyes that
are blind but their hearts which are in their breasts.
Respected brother in Islam, ‘modern science’, in its
absolutely limited knowledge of the Truth, declares that it is the brain which
thinks, understands, and processes all information and the heart is merely a
physical organ whose main duty is to pump blood to the various parts of the
body……but the One Who created the heart declares in Truth in His Glorious Quran
and through His appointed Messenger (saws), that the function of the heart is
much much bigger and greater than the mere pumping of blood to the various
parts of the body!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 63 Surah
Munafiqoon verse 3:
3 That is because they believed, then they rejected Faith: so a seal was set on their hearts:
therefore they understand not.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verses 86-87:
86 When a Surah comes down enjoining them to believe in Allah and to
strive and fight along with His Messenger, those with wealth and influence
among them ask thee for exemption and say: "Leave us (behind): we would be
with those who sit (at home)."
87 They prefer to be with (the women) who remain behind (at home): their hearts are sealed and so they
understand not.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraaf verse 179:
179 Many are the Jinns and men We have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they
understand not eyes wherewith they see not and ears wherewith they hear
not. They are like cattle; nay, more
misguided: for they are heedless (of warning).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah
Qaaf verse 37:
37 Verily in this is a
Message for any that has a heart and understanding or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the Truth).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Israa verses 45-46:
45 When thou dost recite the Quran We put between thee and those who
believe not in the Hereafter a veil invisible:
46 And We put coverings
over their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an and deafness into their ears: when thou dost commemorate thy Lord
and Him alone in the Qur'an they turn on their backs fleeing (from the Truth).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 30 Surah
Rome verses 58-60:
58 Verily We have propounded for men in this Qur'an every kind of
parable: but if thou bring to them any Sign, the disbelievers are sure to say
"Ye do nothing but talk vanities."
59 Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not.
60 So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor
let those shake thy firmness who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 25:
25 Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts
so they understand it not and deafness in their ears; if they saw every
one of the Signs not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come
to thee they (but) dispute with thee; the disbelievers say: "These are
nothing but tales of the ancients."
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Anaam
verses 125-126:
125 Those whom Allah (in His Plan) Wills to guide He opens their
breast to Islam; those whom He Wills to leave straying He
makes their breast close and constricted as if they had to climb up to the
skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.
126 This is the way of thy Lord leading straight: We have detailed the
Signs for those who receive admonition.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verse 57:
57 And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his
Lord but turns away from them forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent
forth? Verily We have set veils over
their hearts lest they should understand this and over their ears
deafness. If thou callest them to
guidance even then will they never accept guidance.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah
Nahl verses 106-109:
106 Anyone who after accepting faith in Allah utters unbelief except
under compulsion his heart remaining
firm in faith but such as open their breast to unbelief on them is
Wrath from Allah and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.
107 This because they love the life of this world better than the
Hereafter: and Allah will not guide those who reject faith.
108 Those are they whose hearts ears and eyes Allah has sealed up
and they take no heed.
109 Without doubt in the hereafter they will
perish.
As much as it may be the brain which processes
information, it is truly the hearts which affirms, doubts, or denies the
processed information. For all matters
pertaining to love, hate, joy, happiness, desires, fears, suspicions, faith,
belief, etc…..it is the heart rather than the brain which accepts or doubts or
denies the information processed by the brain.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 5200 Narrated by Abu Dharr
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "He has
been successful whose heart Allah has made sincere towards faith, whose heart
He has made free from disbelief, his tongue truthful, his soul calm, his nature
straight, whose ear He has made attentive and his eye observant. The ear is a
funnel and the eye is a repository for what the heart learns. He is successful
whose heart is made retentive."
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 1.49 Narrated byAn Numan bin Bashir
I heard Allah's Messenger (saws) saying:
‘Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed)
the whole body becomes good, but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt;
and that is, the heart!’
Every individual experiences their fears, or desires, or
joys, or happiness, or pain, or love, or hate, or suspicion, or doubts, etc.
with and from their hearts…….but ‘modern-science’ because of its limited
knowledge insists that the heart is merely a physical organ which pumps blood
and has absolutely nothing to do with these natural experiences!
The discrepancy brother is with the limited knowledge of
‘modern-science’, not in the Declarations and the Guidance of the One Who
Created everything in existence! The
brain indeed does collect and process the information it receives from the
various faculties of sight, and touch, and hearing, etc….but it is truly the
heart which decides and determines whether to accept, reject, doubt, affirm, or
deny that information it has received!
In Surah 22 Al Hajj Ayah 46 Allah swt has mentioned about
the hearts having multiple faculty capacities. Science knows today that the
heart is basically a pump from which the blood passes. But we all know that our
hearts can feel pain, it can love, it can hate, it can see, it has desires and
many other things.
We also somewhat comprehend that there is a mystic type of
connection between the heart and mind which science has not been able to
explain. Allah swt is the Creator of all that exists and He knows what we know
not. There are many things in creation that science has not been able to prove
or comprehend till today. This connection between the mind and heart is only
one of them.
So when Allah swt says in the above ayah "Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their
hearts which are in their breasts" then we should be sure He knows what
He is referring to and we as believers must marvel in His infinite knowledge
and creation and believe and understand and reflect in all His revelations and
mysteries.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
