Does Death Destroy You, or Merely Change the Place of Life?

At death, a body becomes still and a person becomes inaccessible to our senses. But does absence from our sight equal annihilation?

Exploring the Core Inquiry

1. Physical science demonstrates that not a single atom in the universe is destroyed; matter merely changes state and form.
2. Consciousness, identity, and memory are not identical to the transient physical cells that are replaced every seven years.
3. Death is the discharge of the soul from earthly duty, the removal of the heavy spacesuit of the body, and the passage into a higher station.

“Death is a change of place, a release of the spirit, a discharge from duty; it is not execution, non-being, or extinction.” — Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Risale-i Nur

The Guiding Perspective

Notice how often language confuses 'out of view' with 'ceased to exist.' Contemplate the immortality of the spirit.
