Dear Readers,
There is only one truth
in absolute sense. And this is actually Allah (swt) Himself. Allah (swt) is Haq
(Reality). Therefore; we refer to Him as "Janab-i Haq".
"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)
“That is because Allah is the Truth…" (Luqman, 30)
His existence is
absolute and eternal. He is free from all needs, deficiencies, incompetencies
and imperfectness. He has complete providence, will, competency and efficiency
in His works. He has a complete power of sanction. He creates, does and makes
anything done as He wants at any time He wishes.
Physical world and
spiritual world are created realities. All of the created worlds are relative
realities. As every created thing, their existences, survivals, qualities,
systems, mechanisms and programs were determined by their Creator. Their
existence is not eternal, it is temporary. Their eternal existence can only be
possible if their Creator keeps them alive forever.
"Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting,
Supporter of all. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the
heavens and on earth." (Baqarah, 255)
The existence of
anything created afterwards is finite, limited and recorded. Look around, you
will immediately realize that the things existed yesterday do not exist
anymore. The survival of the creatures depends on certain conditions and
fulfilling of certain needs. Their skills and efficiencies are at a certain
extent that Allah (swt) bestowed to them. Their
ability to accomplish, have something accomplished, and to organize is limited
to a certain strength and disposition that Allah (swt) granted to them. Just as
an officer's performance of his wishes is limited to his commander's will; all
creatures are restricted in performing their wishes by Great Allah's infinite
will. They can perform it if He wishes otherwise they aren't able to move a
muscle. However; this situation doesn't relieve human beings from their
responsibilities for the things they do. Just as an officer will still be
responsible to his boss for the things he does with his weak will in his
capacity even though his authority is limited.
# The real master of energy, power and strength
The real master of
energy, power and strength is Allah (swt).
In fact nobody or
nothing has power or strength. Allah (swt) grants power, strength, energy,
knowledge, ability and qualification to everything. However, most people relate
everything to themselves. Everything is associated to a certain order and
system in the physical world. Everything happens in a chain of reasons within
causality principle. Therefore; certain results are achieved when certain
causes are tied to. A great deal of people were mistaken by achieving the
results they wanted through learning certain reasons and organizing these
reasons; leading them to become arrogant and assume they have the power and strength
in themselves. This situation also caused the denial of many scientist involved
in positive sciences.
In fact, all the power
and strength is in Creator's power. Even a feather doesn't move without His
wish and will. If a human being starts believing in Allah truly and drawing
lessons in the universe by freeing himself from his desires, then he will
witness a hundred examples of this phenomenon. He is the reason of reasons. He
creates new reasons within the reasons when He wishes.
# Allah (swt) is invisible but His providence in the universe is visible
Allah (swt) cannot be
seen or perceived by our other sense organs.
"No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision..." (An'aam, 103)
"He knows what is before or after or behind them: but they shall
comprehend Him not." (Ta-ha, 110)
But the works and
possessions of Him in the visible world are visible and perceived by our sense
organs. I want to give a simple example to explain this situation. For example,
a true believer prays. The pray may involve something impossible to achieve
when considered from a materialistic perspective. But Allah puts the unexpected
and improbable reasons together, create events which may otherwise seem
impossible to happen and makes this pray come true. Therefore, the believer
cannot grasp the existence of Allah (swt) by vision but he witnesses His works.
In some cases; orders,
messages, teachings and inspirations of Allah reach to people through their
heart, sometimes the desires and wishes of people reach Allah through their
heart too. The heart is a spiritual window which is opened to the spiritual
world from material world. (Please read "Understanding the Heart" and "Developing Affinity towards Allah" for a detailed information)
Many people have
witnessed the accepted prays coming true.
# Spiritual Incidents cannot be proved by experiments
Dear Readers,
unfortunately, it is not possible to explain this communication emerged by
heart scientifically. Only the aspects that reflect to the material world can
be observed. However; these observations cannot be repeated, verified and
proved experimentally.
Because, these spiritual
incidents emerge by divine will and order. Nobody can guarantee that Allah’s
will is going to appear in the same form when it is repeated. Initiative is
totally in the Creator's power. No one can interfere with His providence. For
example, let’s assume that our pray is accepted. Who can guarantee that it will
be accepted again when we pray recurrently? The Creator may or may not accept
it. He may or may not create the same reasons. But the believers who believe
truly, witness so many incidents in their relationship with Allah that they
will have no reservations about the providence of Him.
# Material World is a Divine Order in reality
In reality, nothing
happens in the Material World or Spiritual world without the will of Allah (swt).
In other words, the incidents in the material world, which we call Halk Alem
(The World of the Visible Creatures), certainly take place under the Creator's
providence. But, the material world, which we call the universe, is a divine
order, of which the elements, relations between the elements, laws, rules,
energy and power resources, communication mechanisms, support infrastructure,
mechanisms of maintenance, repairment and self-perpetuation is ordered and
organized previously. Here, the rules that determine the relations don't
change. Here, the creation of the incidents is programmed. Therefore; here,
‘which causes will bring out which results’ can be determined through
scientific studies and the desired results can be achieved by forming the
causes. This constitutes the scientific studies and the technology which
develops based on it. If there weren't such a wonderful order, integrity and
mechanism created by Allah (swt) in the universe, then everything would take
place automatically and randomly and we wouldn't be able to carry out any
scientific work.
In order to elaborate
more, we can compare the events taking place in the material world to the
events taking place under a "government order" of a constitutional
state founded and ruled by a king. The events taking place here can be
anticipated beforehand as they happen according to certain laws, rules and
program. The events taking place in the Spiritual World based on communication
by heart can be compared to the events taking place with the order and command
of the king and they would never be foreseen beforehand as when and how the
king's will appear is never predictable.
Allah separates these
two cases; He uses the term "Halk" (creating) for the former and "Emr" (Command) for the latter.
Islam scientists called the former which appeared by creation "The Halk
Alem" (World of Creatures), and the other "The Emr Alem" (World
of Command) both of which are
nothing but the providence of Allah.
"Verily, His are the Creation and the
Command." (Araf, 54)
# The actional attributes of almighty Allah (swt)
Allah’s attributes about His works and providence in
the material and spiritual worlds are called His actional
attributes. There are four main ones:
- Takhliq (Creating; creating
of everything out of nothing with their primary components and
qualifications)
- Ihya (Resurrecting, giving
life)
- Imate (Killing)
- Tarziq (Providing sustenance)
I am hoping to emphasize
these subjects in the following chapter of my article. I conclude this article
here in order not to bore you more.
Be entrusted to Allah.
