Secret of Creation
Secret
of Creation has been stated in the Holy Quran, “Verily, when He intends a
thing, His Command is, Be! And it is” (Surah 36 Verse 82)
Secrets
contained therein in the word’ and the activitation of these secrets are
revealed if the above verse is pondered upon. When ‘Kun’ is Commanded by Allah,
the Most Exalted, He addresses something which has not yet been manifested. But,
when it is commanded to be manifested this command becomes a mechanical movement
in that thing. It demands considered deliberation that what was the style and
structure of the Manifestation of the object. The structure
is the concepts which are present in the Will (Intention) of Allah. But
there was no order of arrangement in them. Absence of arrangement means
something is pervading in the Boundlessness. When the Will
picked up the concept of an object from the Boundlessness, it took a form.
Now,
the form of the object became the knowledge and knowledge is the word’. That
is, when the collective concepts of the object are moulded into knowledge, they
are called the words. And the existence of the object was grasped by the words and the words
pulled it out of the screen of the Open and Clear Book.
The
words are of three types. Two types of the words are nominal words, these are
used after Manifestation, for instance, good or bad. ‘Good’
is a word which corroborates and affirms and the ‘Bad’ is a word that negates.
Such
a collection of concepts is hidden in both the words which have been manifested
and there are no more concepts in the Will to be manifested in that regard,
that is, there is no room for any more concepts in it. These
both types of words are called the Creation or the Universe. Both
these are separate from the section of the Command.
It
has been stated in the Holy Quran,
“Verily
He is the one who is the First, the Last, the Manifested (Expressed), the
Immanent (Hidden)” .
According
to these meanings Allah, the Most High, is All-encompassing and the Perceptive
Being. Manifested is seen by us but not the Immanent. Whatsoever
is seen, we see but do not bother to see that through what are we seeing.
We
perceive without Perceiving that with what do we perceive. If
we could perceive the source of our perception then we would be able to
perceive the Almighty Allah. This is the reason that out
understanding remains operative only in the created one and fails to have
access to the Command.
The
words, we use are either to accept something or to reject something. The word
used for negation contains the negated concepts. The word used
for expressing our acceptance comprises the approved concepts. Both
these types of words are the Creation as they have come into being after being
saturated with the concepts.
