"Allah is the One who created
the heavens and the earth and sent down water from the sky, then brought forth
with it sustenance for you from the produce, and subjugated for you the ships,
so that they may sail in the sea with His command, and subjugated for you the
rivers." (Quran, 14:32)
To supplement means anything which is
vital to human life whether temporarily or permanent. Allah said, He
supplements anyone, countlessly.
The nurturing and protection of
resources is assured with the creation of days and nights. During the day,
resources are made available to supplement life whereas moonlight during night
sweetens the resources. The sunshine provides the warmness in fruits to make
them edible.
An infinite impression of vastness
beyond the boundaries is reflected on mind when a widely familiar word
'universe' is uttered. It is revealed upon mind, that as Allah said, people who
strive towards Allah, Allah guides them on pathways. We are all familiar with
pathway. Life becomes a big ask, if there is nothing to follow.
When we contemplate on vastness of
universe, it leaves an impression on mind-an impression of eternity. The impression
consists of expressions of the universe, the process of creation, variations in
seasons, sunshine and moonlight, air and oxygen, shimmering galaxies, a
ceilingless sky, zillions of lives extended in heavens, nailed mountains to
stabilize the Earth-indeed an ever regulated system. A series of so many
secrets, which manifests into infinite species including animals, mammals,
birds, plants and trees, man and supreme creation insan (the human).
"We have created man in the best
composition, then We turned him into the lowest of the low." (Quran,
95:4-5)
Universe is an expression of program
laid in the mind of Allah. The will of Hayyo Al-Qayyum (One who provides life
and keeps alive) Allah activated the very creation of all creatures in a
definite proportion. Hayyo AlQayyum are the attributes of Allah which regulate
and maintain the life. Rooh (the soul) actuates each being and it is command of
Allah.
"His practice, when He intends
to do something, is no more than He says, Be! and it comes to be." (Quran,
36:82)
The very existence of attributes of
all creatures are in definite proportion. There are two aspects of universe
from any viewpoint-shape and movement. The spatio-temporal existence of
physical phenomenon (or shape) occurs in appearance (hazir) and disappearance
(ghaib). The process of ghaib-hazir-ghaib continues in the domain of its
spatio-temporal existence. Spatial existence is called makaan and temporal is
termed as zamaan. All creatures of Allah follow the temporal cycle (that is
zamaan). The temporal flow can be noticed by special vision, where both spatial
and temporal existence are perceived as sensation. Neither an apparent nor
hidden phenomenon are beyond these two aspects of senses. Whereas at any
instant of time one aspect is dominated (that is apparent) and other is
concealed ( that is hidden). This very order of two senses build the conscious.

ہے لیکن ہرلحظہ ہے سالک کا زماں

Translation: The state and place
conclude the appearance; The spatio-temporal instant of spiritual student is
distinct.
Every individual being has a distinct
and well proportionated structure, where material aspect is overwhelmed by the
non-material aspect. Only a conscious attention could lead to recognition of
existence of anything.
ک (kaf), (ن)
(noon)- کن that is Kun (Be) is an instant of
birth of spatio
-temporal aspects. Unlike the
temporal, spatial existence is usually visible to eyes, but an invisible thing
is not void of existence.
What is space and time? A
distribution of a moment that is the beginning which is revealed upon the
screen of mind at every instant.
Earth is a screen, where species,
animals and plants are projected. Unlike the usual perception of birth of
animals or plants, where water is introduced to form their composition, in
reality everything is projected on earth from another zone that is reflected
from their prior existence. Our conscious is unaware of this zone.
An object appears on earth, when
water is introduced in it. It is similar to the projection of light waves onto
inner screen of mind, where it is spread to reveal modulated information.
Similarly, when water enters (that is projected) into the earth (which acts as
dye that can give impression of zillions of creations); the cumulative effect
gives rise to birth (appearance) of an object. Information is projected or
descends in the shape of water, followed by its expression and later ascends as
the process known as evaporation.
There are two aspects of a discourse,
either accept or reject. Both of them form or create an impression, which is
essentially a thought or more precisely can be termed as ideas. In short
neither acceptance nor rejection are void of information.
Allah addressed to some object, 'to be' in a zone. When a particular object is addressed in an infinite zone, the object is ripped off of infinity to attain its own identity and very existence. Before this separation, the identity of object was merged in the infinity. E.g. a drop extracted from an ocean exhibits all the attributes of ocean. Because it merges into the ocean without any distinction, when allowed to return to ocean.
Allah said, "And We created from
water every living thing." (Quran, 21 :30)
It means that everything in the universe
is created from water. What is water? Abdal-e-Haq (A divine administrative
position) Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA) elaborated the fact that, "The moment
of 'Amr'(Be) is an instant when initial descend of idea occurred, that is when
ideas were introduced into the void and information were revealed. These ideas
are called 'maa '. In fact, water is encapsulated with ideas of infinite
architectures. Each architecture is an archetype of individual idea or
being."
Sky or unconscious is infinite,
whereas earth or conscious is finite. Infinity cannot be perceived, while
finite conscious can be perceived. Information are dispersed
omni-directionally. When they enter in any dye of earth, it produces that
particular object.
Every being is an assembly of well
proportionated ideas or information. A 'word' is formed when an idea is
introduced in sound and eventually voice is uttered. In nutshell, a voice is
uttered when ideas are encapsulated in sound.
The consciousness in the brain is
known as mind that is manifested especially in thought, perception or
imagination. The range of mind is stretched over the comers of the universe.
When a person living in one geographical location thinks about someone else
living at other comer, an image is displayed on the inner screen of mind. The
limits of this perception is beyond the boundaries of universe. When a person
addresses Allah, Allah listens to him.
"Allah is the One who created
the heavens and the earth and sent down water from the sky, then brought forth
with it sustenance for you from the produce, and subjugated for you the ships,
so that they may sail in the sea with His command, and subjugated for you the
rivers." (Quran, 14:32)
Contemplate on the aforementioned verse and go through the article, it will open your mind. The encapsulated ideas in words shall shine upon the dark areas of inner screen of mind. Insha Allah.
