It is God’s will that no deceased person let us know from afterlife

It is God’s will that no deceased person let us know anything from the other world: Verse from Masnavi by Rumi

 

The Khwaaja said, “O excellent bailiff, I have heard what you said, point by point,

But I was not commanded [by Allah] to answer, and I dared not open my lips without being directed.

Now that we have become acquainted with the conditions and degrees of the spiritual world, a seal has been laid upon our lips,

In order that the mysteries of the Unseen [afterlife] would not be divulged, thus destroying the life and livelihood of mortals,

And in order that the veil of forgetfulness would not be entirely torn and the meat in the pot of tribulation would not be left half-raw.

We are all ear, although the material form of the ear has become deaf: we are all speech, but our lips are silent
