Dear Readers,
There is only one truth in
absolute sense. It is Allah Himself. In various parts of Qur'an, it is ordered that Allah (swt) is the
only truth:
"That is because Allah is
the Truth." (Luqman, 30)
"All that
is on earth will perish: But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full
of Majesty, Bounty and Honor." (Rahman,
26-27)
"That is
because Allah - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke,-
they are but vain Falsehood: verily Allah is He, Most High, Most Great." (Hajj, 62)
"On that
Day Allah will pay them back (all) their just dues, and they will realize that
Allah is the (very) Truth, that makes all things manifest." (Nur, 25)
"and
that Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do? That is because Allah is the Truth, and
because whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood;
and because Allah,- He is the Most High, Most Great." (Luqman,
29-30)
"Soon will
We show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their
own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not
enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?" (Fussilat, 53)
# Created realities
Dear Readers,
"Physical world"
and "Spiritual world" are
created realities. Their existence and survival are possible with the
will of Allah (swt) because their
existence, layouts, energies, and operation mechanisms are given by Allah (swt). A bird cannot
flutter, a baby cannot breast-feed, or a leaf cannot photosynthesize if Allah
(swt) does not want because Allah (swt) creates and programs them to perform
the activities and bestows them with the required
strength creating the works they perform.
"Allah is
the Creator of all things." (Zumar, 62)
"To Allah
is your return and He hath power over all things." (Hud, 4)
"Why didst
thou not, as thou went into thy garden, say: 'Allah's will (be done)! There is
no power but with Allah.' If thou dost see me less than thee in wealth and
sons." (Kahf,, 39)
"Regulating
and governing all things." [Jonah, 3]
"He
directs the affairs from the heavens to the earth." [Sajdah, 5]
"He
Who created all things in the best,"
(Sajdah, 7)
"We
have indeed created man in the best of moulds." (Tín, 4)
"But
Allah has created you and your handwork." (Saffat, 96)
"Him
Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias."
(Infitar, 7)
"Allah
is free of all needs from all creation." (Ankabut, 6)
"Of
Him seeks (its need) every creature in the heavens and on earth: every day in
(new) Splendor doth He (shine)!" (Rahman, 29)
"There
is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on Allah: He
knoweth the time and place of its temporary deposit: all is in a clear Record." (Hud, 6)
"Allah
hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it
not." (Yusuf, 21)
# The created things are mortal, their
existence depends on Allah
Dear Readers,
"Physical world"
and "Spiritual world" are
mortal because they are created realities, which mean they have a beginning and
end. Their existences
are not forever. Their existence can long forever if
Allah (swt) let them survive forever.
Materialist philosophy tries to replace "Material
world" with Allah (swt) because it does not accept the existence of Allah
(swt), far from it. It defends that "material world"
existed itself without a beginning and an end. However, their thesis was disproved by the findings of modern
science. In fact, Materialist philosophy cannot
explain various things as a philosophical discipline.
Dear Readers,
all the creatures of the created worlds except Allah (swt) are at imagination
stage. The information that human
obtain from the order he is in is a "perception" information. Human can understand the world to an extent
that he can perceive. Perception is giving
meaning to sensations (imagines in one sense)
of our sense organs by the mind. Human knows the creatures with these
perceptions and decides if they exist or not. Let me give an example. A soldier
cannot see anything in the dark but when he looks with thermal cameras, he sees
the enemies. What happens here? In the first situation, there is no enemy as
there is no conception. In the second one, there are
enemies because they can be perceived. It means that we
only accept existent what we can perceive.
# The weak human only accepts the existence of the things they can perceive
We accept a
material's existence because we can perceive its features as its color, shape,
weight, voice, and smell. Every
quality that we can perceive is an information. If we do not perceive any
of the qualities, we do not accept the existence of a thing even it really
exists.
In fact, the human is the acceptor of the sensations from an object rather than the object itself. The perceptions are embodied
as object concepts with various features by giving meaning with previous information in our minds. Therefore, the world of which existence we
accept is an imaginary world, which is created by processes of
various nerve and brain functions. Its
difference from the dream is that it has rationality and continuity, which is
provided by Allah (swt).
Therefore, Rasulullah (s.a.w)
ordered:
"Human
beings are asleep when they die they wake up" [Imam-ı Rabbani]
It is true that human beings are aware of the absolute reality when they die.
