DMT in the Quran, an extremely interesting link that may have been hidden in plain sight

#DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is the most power hallucinogenic substance known to man. It’s endogenous (naturally produced in the body), and is suggested to be mass synthesized

by the body during death.
According to Timmermann et al., a significant amount of user reports on the experience of DMT include feelings of entering a different realm, encountering mystical beings, and “ego death” (feeling detached from the self and the material world)

What does this have to do with the Quran? Well, there’s a peculiar verse in Surah Qaf about dying:
“And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.” [50:19]
Note the word intoxication. Islamically, this refers to mind-alteration,

and the most notable effect of DMT is its extreme mind-alteration
If DMT is truly released in the body at death, it’s another sign of the Quran’s divinity, as this knowledge could not have been accessible in the 7th century
So, could the intoxicant mentioned in the Quran

really be DMT, and if so, what’re the implications?
Firstly, the most popular view on DMT is that it does indeed play a biological role in death
To be clear, there is currently no direct clinical observation of DMT being released during death due to the ethically

challenging nature of such a study. However, there are many indirect reasonings that suggest it is the case. Here’s a quick rundown of some reasons:
Most notably is the stark similarities between the reports of near death experiences (NDE) and the reports of DMT experiences

In this study, the similarities in their experiences were concluded to be statistically significant, suggesting that DMT may be the biological cause of NDEs and released by the body when its in a state of dying

Physiologically, DMT readily binds to the sigma-1 receptor, which plays a key role in protecting cells when oxygen levels are low
High levels of DMT may be endogenously released during death as an attempt to keep cells alive, with the side product of mind-alteration

Moreover, there is a known mechanism in the body for producing DMT (and its found in trace amounts)
The enzyme INMT has been shown to form DMT in vivo from the essential amino acid tryptophan. This suggests there is a ready mechanism to mass produce DMT if the need ever arises

There’s a lot of speculation on the matter, but the brute fact is that the mind enters an extremely altered state of reality when dying
Now, back to Islam. What’s interesting is there is a large amount of reports claiming that one passes through a ‘veil’ when on DMT

In the same surah as above, it’s mentioned that at death, a veil is removed from our perception and we enter the greater reality
My opinion is that DMT is the biological primer that begins the transition from a world of physical materials to a world of pure consciousness

If so, this has great implications on who exactly the entities are on the other side of the veil, and the nature of the unseen world as a whole
Terrence McKenna, who has been using DMT for over 25 years, explains his personal experiences with these entities when past the veil

Note how he mentions they’re able to flow through his body, they’re not material, they can speak in his language and another, they tell him to dismiss the idea of God, they make offerings with objects, etc.
I argue these beings are amongst jinn and shayateen, and that

a person, when using DMT, but not dying, has a portion of this veil lifted enough to experience part of the unseen world
It then makes sense that the world they perceive is reported to be “unexplainable,” “non-newtonian,” “impossible to imagine,” etc., as it’s also reported

by the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas that the true nature of the unseen world is not knowable and of a completely different paradigm
It’s not simply the same as our world but just “invisible,” it’s expected to be inherently different

It’s not likely imo that what a person experiences on DMT is simply their mind playing tricks on them. This is because the things experienced are not explainable by waking or dreaming states of mind, and the consistently similar experiences of people suggests

that what is happening is outside the scope of a mere subjective experience. Passing a veil into a new reality, encountering beings, detachment from the material world, etc. are all quantified experiences by the majority of DMT users. This suggests it’s not merely subjective

At the end of the day though, Allahu alam
I understand this view is on the fringe of the traditional interpretation of that verse, but I do believe it’s something to consider and provides yet another insight into the wonders of the Quran and it’s everlasting relevance

The fact it mentions an intoxicant that brings truth, passing a veil at death, exposing an unseen world, etc. while there exists a natural human intoxicant with the same effects during death, is not a coincidence to me

With that being said, don’t do drugs. Instead, ponder the Quran 😇, and realize the kingdom of Allah swt is far more vast than we know, and that this worldly life is not worth settling for. There is more to come, and we want to be on the blessed side of it
