- The sound waves perceived by dogs,
- The sound waves perceived by humans,
- The sound waves perceived by cats,
- Ultrasonic waves,
- Radio waves (L – long, M – medium, S – short waves that are converted by an adaptor called a radio),
- Television waves (VHF, UHF, SHF, EHF – all of which are converted by an adaptor called a television),
- Radar waves,
- Spark waves,
- Motion waves,
- The spectrum of rays that we see as colors between red and purple, perceived by our eyes…
- Ultraviolet rays,
- X-rays,
- Cosmic rays (of wavelength shorter than 1/10,000000000000 of a cm),
- And various other “unidentified” rays…
There are many more however we humans do not know their nature and effects as yet...
Because the crude and limited nature of the human senses are unable to perceive and understand the innumerous rays present in the universe unfortunately, they are mostly regarded as non-existent…
But is this true?
The difference between seeing and not seeing lies within the range of 1-3/100,000 of a cm…
The point at which the human eye begins to perceive is 0,0004 cm, where the ultraviolet rays begin, and ends at 0,0007 cm where infrared rays begin… it is an extremely narrow spectrum!
Whereas the Sun permeates many different rays that begin at 0,0008 cm and reach 0,032 cm……
Much shorter rays can be detected by film…
There are ultraviolet rays that range between 0,0003 cm and 0,0001 cm, and even shorter, but these can only be determined via photograph plates.
Let us look into the X-rays a little further:
We all know that when our bodies are exposed to X-rays the energy that is produced is directed towards a metal plate to reveal certain parts of our organs.
We also know that this radiation that beams through the body is harmful and causes some damage to the organs, and hence pregnant women or new born babies are not advised to get an x-ray.
On the other hand, while these rays are beamed through our body we don’t feel or perceive them… their wavelength is about 1/100,000000 of a cm…
So, I ask you:
While man cannot detect or feel these x-rays whose wavelengths are inexplicably small with his senses, how can we deny the existence of those with much higher frequencies?
How can we deny the existence of beings whose make-up comprises similar waves or frequencies just because we can’t perceive them?
The make-up of the beings Islam refers to as “jinn” – what most people know as spirits or entities- is described in the following verse:
“Min MARIJINN min NAR”[1] which means “smokeless flame of fire” (radiation, radiant energy, electromagnetic wave body).
And “Min NAARis SAMUM”[2] which means ‘samum’ fire (an infusing, penetrating microwave radiation that is harmful to the astral body).”
A fire that is:
SMOKELESS
TOXIC
PENETRATING…
is precisely what we today call “radiation”!
1400 years ago, the radial make-up of the jinn was described as a smokeless, toxic, infusing FIRE…
This is one of the biggest miracles of the Quran in my opinion… to describe that we know as rays and radiation as a smokeless, harmful fire that penetrates through the skin!
Based on this description then the make-up of the jinn is;
A smokeless fire -that we know as waves today- that can penetrate into all layers of matter”
Clearly, we can’t expect the Quran to have said 1400 years ago “We created the jinn from radiation waves of such and such type”! It is evident that to bring this concept closer to human cognition “1400 years ago” without using the word “radiation” – a word that did not exist at the time - the Quran had to use a metaphor and describe it as a “smokeless harmful fire” that can “penetrate into all layers of the skin”.
Thankfully after 1400 years science has advanced enough to discover rays and radiation waves, at least to some extent, and hence enabled those who can bridge religion with science to decode the realities referenced by these symbolic verses, allowing us to have a better, more scientific understanding of the nature of these beings called the “jinn” …
After this short introduction, let us now turn back to the world of science and review the realities underlying the terms “Spirit”, “Man” and “Jinn” …
