SKY BURIAL IN TIBET: DEAD BODY DISSECTED FOR VULTURES TO EAT!! Sky burial or ritual dissection is a practice common in Tibet. A priest cuts the human corpse into small pieces and then places it on top of a mountain, exposing it ritually - especially to birds of prey. Sky burial was also common in some American Indian cultures, and in older Zoroastrian practices. In one account, the leading rogyapa cut off the limbs and hacked the body into pieces, handing each part to his assistants, who used rocks to pound the flesh and bones together to a pulp, which they mixed with tsampa (barley flour with tea and yak butter or milk) before the vultures were summoned to eat. And indeed We have created many jinns and men for hell; they have hearts in which there is no understanding; and the eyes they do not see with; and the ears they do not hear with; they are like cattle - in fact more astray; it is they who are the neglectful. [Aa`raf 7:179] Among His Signs is that heaven and Earth hold firm by His command. Then, when He calls you forth from the earth, you will emerge at once. (Surat ar-Rum, 25) They will say, Are we to be restored to how we were when we have become perished, worm-eaten bones? They say: That will clearly be a losing restoration! There will be but one Great Blast, and at once they will be on the surface, wide awake! (Surat an-Nazi‘at, 10-14) Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and Earth, has the power to create the like of them, and has appointed fixed terms for them of which there is no doubt? But the wrongdoers still spurn anything but unbelief. (Surat al-Isra, 99) Do they not see that Allah—Who created the heavens and Earth and was not wearied by creating them—has the power to bring the dead to life? Yes indeed! He has power over all things. (Surat al-Ahqaf, 33) The throes of death come revealing the truth. That is what you were trying to evade! The Trumpet will be blown. That is the Day of the Threat. Every self will come together with a driver and a witness. You were heedless of this, so We have stripped you of your covering and today your sight is sharp His inseparable comrade will say: This is what I have ready for you. Hurl into Hell every obdurate disbeliever, impeder of good, doubt-causing aggressor, who set up another deity together with Allah. Hurl him into the terrible punishment. His inseparable comrade will say: Our Lord, I did not make him overstep the limits. He was, in any case, far astray. He will say: Do not argue in My presence when I gave you advance warning of the Threat. My Word, once given, is not subject to change, and I do not wrong My servants. On the Day He says to Hell: Are you full? it will ask: Are there no more to come? And the Garden will be brought up close to the heedful, not far away: This is what you were promised. It is for every careful penitent, those who stand in awe of the All-Merciful in the Unseen and come with a contrite heart. Enter it in peace. This is the Day of Timeless Eternity. (Surah Qaf, 19-34) May Allah keep us steadfast on his deen Ameen!!
