Mind and thinking in the universe
Hossam Badrawi
The being of God differs in the minds according to the breadth of horizon and knowledge. Despite my agreement and disagreement with Dr. Mostafa Mahmoud, however, in one of the best things I have read of him as a philosopher who approaches people and says: “God for my grandfather is represented by a kind, merciful, forgiving, repentant person who treats rheumatism and strengthens the joints. It resembles a birthday bride, and it is for Einstein a mathematical equation and a law to which things are necessarily subject, and it is for a lover like love, and it is for Sufi sheikhs a minister of endowments who distributes clothing, subsidies and pensions, and for an atheist it is a subject of study, and for a believer it is an object of worship, and it is always present even for those who deny it ».
Dr.. Mustafa Mahmoud simply says that the human mind comprehends the meaning of divinity and the universe, according to the depth and degree of its knowledge and the growth of its mind. Tawfiq al-Hakim preceded him when he wrote that the heavenly religions were revealed gradually according to the ability of the human mind to comprehend over time.
Professor Al-Akkad highlighted the value of this mind in his wonderful book “Thinking is an Islamic Obligation.” And from an article based on this book, titled “The Imperfection of Reason and the Crime of Thinking,” I wrote:
“The obligation to think about the Holy Qur’an includes the human mind with everything it contains, and it elevates the virtue of thinking to the highest level. The Islamic religion is a religion that does not know fortune-telling, and does not mediate in it the custodians and priests between the creature and the Creator, and does not impose on man an offering that seeks to the mihrab with the intercession of an authoritative guardian or His Holiness, in which there are no two interpreters between God and His servants, who possesses prohibition and permission, and decrees salvation or deprivation, and will not The discourse of this great religion is directed – intuitively – only to the sane person who is free and free from every authority that prevents him from correct understanding and sound thinking.
Professor Al-Akkad says that the biggest barriers that impede the mind are the worship of the ancestors, which is sometimes called “custom”, blind imitation of those with religious authority, and humiliating fear of those with worldly authority.
As for Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, the city of knowledge and the banner of justice, he considered the mind the origin of religion and the pillar of the world, and he said: “The head of virtues and the fountain of literature is the mind that God Almighty made religion the origin and the world a pillar.”
The easiest thing for the mind before maturity was to imagine multiple gods, as humanity was thousands of years ago.. This is the god of love, and that is the god of war, and with them the god of justice and the god of darkness, and so on.. When the mind developed, it began to realize the idea of monotheism.. But the human mind In the stage of his growth, he imagined God in the form of a human being, but rather represented him in statues to accompany him, as the Arabs used to do before Islam, because he was unable to see what was beyond that, and here the genius of Imam Ali appears when they asked him to describe God to them, so he said: “The perfection of Sincerity to God is the negation of attributes from Him, so whoever describes God, Glory be to Him, has linked Him, and whoever links Him has paired Him, and whoever links Him has fragmented Him, and whoever fragments Him has ignorant Him, and whoever refers to Him has limited Him, and whoever limits Him has counted Him, a being who curses an event, exists not out of non-existence, with Everything is not in comparison, and other than everything is not in comparison, an actor not in the sense of movements and a machine, seeing as there is no view of him from his creation.
Ali Ibn Abi Talib was a philosopher ahead of his time. He talks about what boggles minds, and goes beyond knowing the moment at the time of the question.
What was before the beginning of the universe and creation?!, Neither time had existed nor space was imagined.
The mind, with its maturity and the growth of its knowledge, now formulates perceptions, and science looks at the universe with its material components at the level of subatomic particles, and analyzes their relationships with the relative time associated with the speed of bodies.
I return to the philosophy of religions, as Professor Tawfiq al-Hakim says in his book “The Four Hadiths”, in the second hadith speaking to God in his conscience: “Why the Torah, the Bible and the Qur’an .. And allow me, Lord, to ask: Was it necessary for these three religions and books to be revealed? Why didn’t you download one religion?
There must be wisdom in that!!.. Why do I ask?
You created the mind for me, and it is the most amazing of Your creatures, You created it for us to reflect on Your wisdom, and I have seen that man develops from a fetus in the mother’s womb to a newborn who crawls, then stands on his feet and walks, begins to speak and questions, and enters into childhood, and his first perceptions grow in him, and he increases. His perception and awareness of those around him, then of the whole world, then of the universe. It begins in its small society, until it reaches the stage of youth, where passion and feelings grow in it, which produces a color of life that has its beauty and ideals. Religions to suit the knowledge of people and the ability of their minds to absorb.
I imagine that self-realization through the mind is the ability of man, and the greatest thing that distinguishes him from the rest of his creation.
Reason and thinking are the miracle of creation in us, so how do some try to abolish it and not allow its use for fear of religion and the beliefs of the predecessors, as if God needs protection from those who think?!.
Some philosophers say that God is a human need, and as long as the human mind thinks about Him, He exists, otherwise it would not have crossed the mind..as if even atheists implicitly acknowledge His existence as long as they deny His existence.
Do you know that we live in a four-dimensional world.. Have you thought, reader, what if our world was only two-dimensional, i.e. length and width without depth.. We would have a flat life as if we were drawings on a flat sheet of paper.. The third dimension made us who we are, and time as a fourth dimension He made for us yesterday as history and tomorrow as the future.
Science says, and even proved a few days ago in the start of the CERN experiment, that there is a possibility of a fifth dimension that we did not discover, and that there are creatures that have this fifth dimension, which is what makes them see us, but rather they can see our past and our future and we do not see it. The same spatial space could contain creatures other than humans who are imprisoned in four dimensions and in a universe defined by that.. A possible hypothesis, and even became semi-proven, if you use your imagination and open your mind.
Rather, I would add and say that with reason and knowledge, there is no “nothingness”; Because the discovery of the mind says that even empty space is made of particles that scientists called “boson particles”, which is the astral tissue
