The force of gravity, which is thought to be a particle, influences the universe because the mass of matter in a location concentrates it, so a planet has more gravity than a moon, this force is what shaped the universe and decided how things were created from sub atomic space in our world, Allah teaches bout how gravity through the earth and other planets influenced sub atomic space and created its seven layers; “It is He who has created for you everything that is in the earth (physical matter before life) and then turned towards (istawa) the Heavens (sub atomic, which was one) and fashioned it as seven (layers) and He has knowledge of all things” (2:29), physicists reading this will see how general relativity and quantum mechanics are unified, meaning how How space-time is built by quantum entanglement.
A particle is a packet of energy no matter how small so as gravity was being concentrated in an area because all the planets where being created, energy densities at the sub atomic level then became more important in how particles interacted with each other and created things, the first impact of gravity on the universe was creating the seven sub atomic layers each now with different kinds of particles in them.
It is interesting that Allah ends the verse by saying “and He has knowledge of all things”, we should know by this association with the other subjects in the verse Allah is linking His knowledge in the universe with gravity and how everything was created. Our spirituality comes from the forces of subatomic space, our wisdom comes from sub atomic space and our knowledge comes from sub atomic space all through the heart that senses it, so understanding that each level of Jannah and each depth of sub atomic space is responsible for a kind of knowledge that now exists on earth shouldn’t be to difficult especially when many ahadith and verses in the Quran indirectly say this.
We begin to see this once we complete the picture of the universe and combine the knowledge contained in Islam with that of science as Allah wanted (41:53). We know one of the deepest depths in sub atomic space is the Kursi and ibn Abbas (ra) said “Kursiyuhu Ilmuhu”, His Kursi, that depth, is His knowledge.
That is one of the most significant scientific statements about the universe in Islam because today science is studying how space-time (the universe) is built by quantum entanglement, the entanglement of every particle in the universe together, from this process time is created, space is created, particles come into existence (24:35) and life and all knowledge is born, so once you understand what you are looking at in all this you then know that “Kursiyuhu Ilmuhu” doesn’t mean the knowledge of Allah is contained inside the kursi like words in a book, His Kursi is vast (Wasi’aa Kursiyuhu, 2:255) spread throughout the heavens and earth, it means the Kursi is responsible for quantum entanglement as we know it today because entanglement is responsible for the existence of all knowledge in things as it built space-time and every life in the universe.
So Allah ends a verse about how space time is built by saying “He has knowledge of all things”, in other words His Kursi, which is His hand in the universe regarding this matter, played a role in this, but Allah ascribed the act to Himself because He used the word Istawa in the verse and in this context it means immediate, direct, “and then (He immediately) turned towards the Heavens”, like this occurred in no time and He did something special.
Today man through his physiology is inspired with the many things that now exist in ghayb, it then should be natural to see that Allah has prophets that mastered each area of knowledge that inspires man in life and that one among them would master the greatest spiritual depth of them all, the Arsh.
Sayyiduna Maysarat al-Fajr narrated: “I said: “Rasul-Allah! When were you made a Prophet?” He replied: “When Allah created the earth and turned to the heavens (subatomic), arranging them into seven heavens.”
On the day of oaths Allah gathered all the prophets together and shined a beautiful light upon them, when they asked Allah what it was He answered this is the light of prophet hood, the light they will be given in life, then they were made to swear the oath of prophet hood by the light of the prophet Muhammad (saws), hence the owner of that light is the only one that can master its limits.
“When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam – from their loins – their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): “Am I not your Lord?”- They said: “Yea! We do testify!” (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: “Lo! of this we were unaware.” (Al-Araf:172) All prophets took the oath of prophet hood before coming into this life hence Imam Ali (a.s) said: “Allah sent prophets to remind mankind of their oath to Allah”, Allah sent people who He placed on them the responsibility of representing Him from before they where born.
The first particle (light) Allah created exists at the deepest sub atomic (spiritual) depth, its “light” influences every other particle above it to our earth, but not vice versa, because larger particles can’t exist in a place smaller than them, so a person given light made from this particle can know the spiritual reality of everything while they can’t know His to the same extent because their light can’t penetrate deeper into matters.
As you move closer to Allah, he grants you different lights from one of the seven levels of Jannah and the Angels found in them, the light of prophet hood comes from a place inside the Arsh beyond these levels.
This is why this light has the role of being the light of each prophet (as) by which they guide mankind to the light of Allah in the universe and His light is the most exalted, established on the throne in its totality at the furthest subatomic limit. One kind of light raising you spiritually to another light and so on until you reach the source of all lights (particles).
“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth…Allah guideth unto His light whom He will.” (24:35)
The light of the prophets is the only light that can penetrate to the source of everything and reach past sidrat al muntaha (the furthest limit) which is the limit of the Angels, the limit of every lessor light that guides mankind, and into the Arsh to know Allah perfectly, in understanding this is the meaning of Tawheed, and only having Allah’s light in your heart.
This is why some from mankind are leaders to even the Angels and the one who mastered the light of the prophets is the only one that could travel to the distance of two bows length near Allah, mentioned in the Quran.
Allah placed the Prophet (saws) next to Him, in respect to everything the Arsh does in the universe regarding His Istawa (establishment) upon it. Having read our work, you should now be able to understand what most western translators have not from the scholar’s words on al Haqiah al Muhamadiya.
Allah asked us to know Him in this life so by understanding our reality and limitations we can see how Allah is divine and deserves to be worshiped even if we attempt to measure our differences, Allah is our Illah in all Haq so He isn’t concerned if you try to see why.
Our perspective on life is that of experiencing it through the passing of time, one moment after another, but Allah isn’t bound by time and doesn’t see life from one moment to the next, He sees all of time and everything that occurs in it all at the same time. He is the first, and the last, means all of time is contained in his gaze and events are playing out so everything can have its identity.
We maybe lost in the middle of the flow of time not seeing its ends but Allah Is (passing of) Time, who he is the complete picture of time that will be revealed over its entire existence. Change in the universe is tied to time because the stuff space is made of is connected to it, what happens to one happens to the other.
If you want to see where Allah is in the universe, Allah says “In My hand is the night and day”, change itself. His presence is behind the forces you see working in the universe, it is hard for people to see Him because you need to purify your body so its senses see the most subtle things, and after you have gained the knowledge you need from that to understand what you are looking at spiritually, you will see Allah in that picture.
First you will see what Jinn are responsible for in your life, then you will see what Angels are responsible for in your life, then you will understand where Allah is above them as you learn what to attribute to Him and to them.
The prophet (saws) was the first and last in many things, just like Allah, His (saws) light was the first particle Allah created and from it everything else was created, He (saws) was the first prophet Allah appointed and He was the last to be sent and the last of the prophets to receive that light. Being the first to exist in the universe means you have spiritual superiority over everything that is created after you, just like the elderly know more than us and that is their superiority over others.
This is a spiritual Hierarchy Allah created in the Universe regarding the order things came into existence, Mika’il for example is superior to Jibril because Allah created Him first from older particles.
“HAS THERE
Unlike Angels who have been in life since the day they came into existence, for mankind Allah did something different which is stated in ahadith.
The prophet (saws) said “souls are like (people in) crowds which gather together (some naturally gravitate towards each other). The ones who met before (life) get on well (in life). The ones, who did not meet before, cannot get on very well and separate.” (Bukhari)
Because of the Haqiqah Muhamadiyah mankind’s reality existed before Angels where created, and our souls where created long before our bodies where born.
Man is being held accountable for this endless span of time (76:1) because he existed throughout it but his soul was not yet given a thing by Allah, which is why elsewhere in the Quran He is then held accountable for the faculties he is given so he can gain his individuality, “Then He (Allah) fashioned him and breathed into him of His (own) Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!” (32:9).
Mankind came into life last of Allah’s creatures because Allah wanted to gave man spiritual superiority, that comes from age, over everything Allah created so just as we can test Allah’s superiority mankind’s is also a Haq. Our bodies may be young but our souls and reality are ancient as old as the universe which is why through wisdom we dominate every spiritual creature Allah ever created.
The prophets among mankind surpassed all of humanity in this receiving their prophet hood, which is basically responsibility of the universe, before Allah created any human in life.
The Mohammedan reality explains the superiority of the prophets (saws) over everything else in the universe and that superiority helped shape the creation of the universe which is witnessed by the fact the prophets name was written on the Arsh.
Once the framework of the universe was created the Prophetic reality, the reality of all prophets, shaped all things within that framework and you will find evidence of this in what Allah gave other prophets.
The prophet Muhammad had spiritual primacy but Adam (as) was the first man whose shape all mankind including the prophet Muhammad (saws) took, Ibrahim was Allah’s intimate friend (khalil) whose Tariqah our prophet (saws) and mankind took to becoming His beloved, Musa (as) spoke to Allah directly which opened the way for the prophet (saws) and mankind reaching the distance of two bow lengths in nearness to Allah, and among Christians you will find statements about the primacy of the prophet Jesus (saws) who was Allah’s word given form just as the universe came into existence from nothing, His (saws) likeness is that of the prophet Adam (as) so He (as) achieved exceeding purity free from the influence of lineage except through His mother (as).
“Truly I was [already], in the sight of Allah, the Seal of Prophets, when Adam was still kneaded in his clay.” (Ahmad among others)
It has been related by al-Bayhaqi on the authority of Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace said: “Allah took Ibrahim as a Bosom Friend. He took Musa as a Confidant. And He has taken me as a Beloved. And Allah ta’ala then said: ‘By My Might and Majesty I have given preference to My Beloved over My Bosom Friend and My Confidant’.”
Once Allah’s beloved come into existence, He (saws) opened its reality in life for Allah’s friend and confidant as they opened what came before it for Him (saws). Its because we rely on the work of those that came before us that Allah said; “We make no distinction between any of His messengers” (2:285) and so all the universe and its spiritual creatures relies on mankind for guidance.
