Editor’s Note
Our souls are on a journey to eternity. We are given this body for living on this earth, which carries our souls until the end of its earthly journey. This body is made from the mud of this earth so it can easily carry out the test it is assigned to do while living here.

Anyone who has ever done a test in a laboratory or anywhere knows there are specific requirements to do a test and sometimes special gear and suits are needed to be worn while the test is conducted. This special suit we wear while we are here is this body. The body and everything in this world is earthbound; it doesn't leave with us, when we move to the next phase of life because it is not needed there. That’s why the body and every material we have, save, use, acquire had to be left here.
That is why the Quran states not to indulge in the brightness of this world, because everything here is kind of like laboratory equipment, only to be used in lab settings to conduct the test and is unnecessary for the next phase of the journey of soul.
The test is to recognize Allah as our Lord, despite having a freewill.
The journey and itinerary of what, how, when is downloaded with soul into our mother’s womb when we are in a state of physical development. We are given free will to conduct this test while all the equipment required to conduct this test is already created and assigned.
As soon as our itinerary is done, we shed our earthly body and move to the next phase where results of the test conducted on the earth are to be analyzed. The stamps of good or bad are only things we will take with ourselves which are our deeds. The process to clean the soul is fire.
Like always we like to thank our readers, editors, writers, proofreaders, designers and everyone who helps us every quarter to bring out an issue. I hope you enjoy it and I am looking forward to your comments and suggestions. Please feel free to post on Facebook or Instagram, or email us at northwestmuslim@gmail.com.
