neutral  Kcda: Why use a metaphor (to decide over which religion)?
35 mins
  -> Metaphor usage is solely for the phrase Gate of Allah, may be considered as Path/Way of Allah, or Faith by harmonizing with the whole context. As the context is not given, this is purely a suggestion. There is no metaphor for religion here, it is clear...

will perish/cease to exist once he discovers


Explanation:
The ones who seek the gate of God will perish/cease to exist once they discover it.

Cümle içindeki "will" kullanımı benim yorumum. "Perishes/ceases to exist" veya "shall perish/cease to exist" de denebilir.

perish: pass from physical life and lose all all bodily attributes and functions necessary to sustain life
