The
Universe of Existence…..
You may call it as you like; such as ‘’the laws of the
nature’’ or ‘’the
law of Allah…’’
All of them are the
manifestation of Allah’s beautiful names and qualities (Asma-ül
Hüsna), it can be said that
this is how they get opened
to the outer realm. In this way, the concept pointed out by the name
Allah becomes apparent to us in the universe of existence
through the name
Zahir ( becoming apparent, being outward),
as things and happennings, isn’t that so?…
On
the other hand, who is the one existing
in the universe as a caliph, and who is able to perceive the infinity?
When
the Zahir is obvious, when it is being
perceived through the conscious,
then is the batin (intrinsic, hidden, everything that cannot be
perceived) going to be different than what has already been perceived
i.e. zahir or vice versa?…
Then, what is it that we call the earth, the laws of nature ,
the system of nature?…
When we are trying to preserve the nature, what are we trying to
protect?…
Out
of the 99 names in the
Asma-ül Hüsna, a certain percentage consists of the names that mean ‘’beauty, creating the beautiful, and
loving the beautiful’’.
In
this case, if the name
Cemil/Jamil (the beautiful,loving the beautiful) has become
apparent and the name Vedud/Wadud (being loved in every place)has
manifest itself in the person across you….
Then,
who is the beautiful?..
Who
is the one loving the beautiful?..
Who
is the one being loved in every place??..
Can
you understand the words of Hz.Rasul of Allah ‘’Can you see that
mountain? He loves us and we love him too’’?…
As
the owner of the earth becomes condensed, becomes denser in the
dimension that we are living in, through
his names and qualities, it is obvious that he is not going to
leave his SELF, his ESTEEMED BEING in another dimension, because of
being infinite and
limitless.
This
only one is Ahad/One i.e. which cannot be divided and broken into
pieces.
As
the universe of existence does not accept any separation into
component parts;
As
the names and qualities which are based on the esteemed being of Allah
are making up the aspect which can be seen and perceived in this
universe, then ýs it possible to differentiate the abstract from the
concrete (the visible)?
Who
do you think is the one
who is being humiliated,
who is being abandoned, left behind,
who is being looked at with contempt
or who is being desired…
In your opinion who is that?
What
would you say as it is useless to think of going beyond the
decree of Allah and beyond what is already owned by Allah…..
