Exposition of Surah Ali Imran verse 185
Every soul / self will taste almauta / the ending of dissociation, and only (the soul) reward be completed on the moment of standing / establishment (the moment to establish the true self with the ending of dissociation of the soul). So whoever is saved / drawn away from an-nar / the internal conflict and admitted to jannah / hidden garden of knowledge then surely faza / has attained direct experience. And what is the life of this duniya / close attachments and relations except the delusional enjoyment (that is, the soul instead is turned to the delusional enjoyment with the conditioning of the world of matter).
Nafs is our conceptualized separate self created in this finite physical world of matters as a representation to our true nature. However, nafs become contaminated by the agency of ego and self interest and together with our accumulated knowledge, what we like and what we don't like and our beliefs embody our body, emotion and mind. Then we say our soul is deluded and dissociated from the reality. The problem emerge when ego and self interest become our driving factor in life influencing whatever we say, whatever we do and whatever we think. Life in the realm of ego and self interest is living in the realm of the lowly world of delusion with full of conflicts, arguments, anxieties and hatred. We have to liberate ourselves from this prison of nafs to recognise our true nature and to achieve al fawz ul adheem / the triumphant success. Liberating our true nature is essentially dissolving our ego and self interest lead to ending the dissociation of the nafs and forthwith will be drawn far from the fire and compensated with the flow of rivers in jannah that is, flow of the hidden knowledge / revelation from our Rabb / Lord.
Yawma 'l qiyamati is the moment we establish our thoughts that the ego and self interest must be dissolved to end the dissociation and liberate our true nature. Understanding of the delusions of ego and self interest as well as the act to dissolve it never take time to happen. It is timeless. Understanding, dissolution and ending dissociation can happen in a moment. This is the point of transformation to liberate the true self from the prison of the ego and self interest to jannatin / hidden knowledge as promised towards fawz ul adheem / the triumphant success (HQ 9:72).
