Philosophical Presentation of Death in Muhammad Hameed Shahid's short stories collection “Aadmi”

Abstract

The philosophy of death is very deep in short stories of Muhammad Hameed Shahid. He sees death not as just an end but as a new beginning. He says that death should not be feared but should be accepted as a new stage of life. If there is one thing that can be talked about with certainty, it is death. Life cannot be properly understood without keeping death in front of it. Life is protected by death. Until a certain moment, life is like a piece of food on which death is written on the other side. When life ends, the fear of death also ends. If death comes, it would fear death. If you tear a piece of paper, you will see both sides on which death is written. If you remove death, how attractive life seems to us in a universe that is changing breathlessly, while with death and destruction, not only life but also the existence of the universe itself begins to lose credibility. Death and life are eternal realities. When a person gets tired of life, he starts wishing for death. Muhammad Hameed Shahid has presented death as something that is going to end happiness. Whereas in this same death, i.e. misery. When a moment of happiness comes, it feels as if life has been a laughing affair.

When those who tried to understand the reality of life first wanted to unravel the knot of the universe, the Steady State theory of the universe was initially considered correct. This view of a fixed and static universe was presented by Frel Hoyle in 1950, disproving the theories. George Gamon, at the same time, blew the petals of the static universe down and linked its birth to the concept of the Big Bang.This same Big Bang theory is still entrenched in the minds of scientists, but when the theory of the universe being scattered by this Big Bang comes before them, they keep on saying that this theory is our view, it is doomed to destruction. And Amar has conveyed the face of this death to Alban.
