Thus, man is created from the affair of the World (al-Dunya) and the Hereafter."

The entire world proceeds in humanity according to the call on the Day of Shadows (Yawm al-Azilla), based on their natures in responding at the time they appeared as a new creation with bodies, forms, instruments, and rational essences. The warners came to them, and they were called to what they had been commanded on the Day of Shadows. Whoever responded there responded here, and whoever denied there denied here. He appointed for them lifespans and bodies to which they are transferred, both complete and deficient. That is [the meaning of] His—the Almighty’s—words: {And no aged person is granted [additional] life nor is his lifespan lessened but that it is in a register}1.

[9] And the saying of the Knower (al-'Alim)—exalted is His might: "The death of our followers (Shi'a) due to their sins is more frequent than their death due to their [natural] lifespans."

This is because God, due to their sins, sent the Messengers to them, along with the Books, the warnings, the encouragement, and the intimidation, for up to thirty molds (Qalab). Then He—Exalted is His Mention—willed to establish the proof against them through [various] aspects of Truth and aspects of falsehood. He delayed them for up to eighty shirts—meaning molds (Qalib).
