The point is the Grand Spirit in respect to the infinite meanings it entails, and the Reality of Muhammad in respect to its identity. 

Since all that is perceived is essentially comprised of data (forms of knowledge) within divine knowledge inside the “point” manifesting as the dimension of strings, coming into existence from non-existence, all units derive their existence from a composition of Names (a composition of qualities denoted by the Names).

The holographic principle eludes to the fact that though seemingly various and different, all forms are essentially from the same source. Hence the One denoted by the name Allah and its creation are not mutually exclusive or independent of each other, on the contrary the verse “when you threw it was Allah who threw” shows us they are one and the same thing. Likewise, there are many denotations of Allah “getting angry, feeling happy, sad” etc. amongst religious literature, all pointing to the same truth.

All concepts pertaining to our world of perception is due to our cognition that Allah exists as a result of His ever-changing manifestations within the single frame picture, which consequently leads us to identify existence as Allah, forming an opportune plane for multi-faceted perception.

To decode this reality in the Quran one should evaluate the verses in which the name “Allah” is mentioned either in respect of the name az-Zahir (The self-evident One, the explicit, unequivocal and perceivable manifestation) or the name al-Batin (The unperceivable reality within the perceivable manifestation! The source of the unknown).

When one says, “Allah is forgiving” they are actually referring to the quality of forgiveness in humans. This is a manifestation in respect to the name al-Batin.

Or when it is said, “Allah is Aziz’un Zuntiqam[1]the reference is to the mechanics of Allah’s System, whereby no action is passed over without making the committer face its consequence.

I mentioned above the name HU points to the quintessential depth (al-Batin) of the point. This should not be understood as different dimensions. There is no such dimensions (internal-external depth or surface) to the “point” as we understand, for the source of the point is the attribute of “Samadiyyah”.[2]

Only HU (the Absolute Essence of Existence) who “at every instance manifests Himself in yet another way”[3]exists!

There is another sublimity to take note of here:

While the Rasul of Allah (saw) explained the essence of existence via the knowledge of Risalah (the disclosure of the Knowledge of Allah), with all its intricate details based on the understanding of the people of his time, at the same time, as a result of Nubuwwah (the function of enabling people to read and apply the necessary practices of the system of Allah) he revealed the practical knowledge of Sunnatullah - the how’s, do’s and don’ts of the mechanics of the System.

 


[1]Al-Aziz: The One who, with His unchallengeable might, disposes as He wishes. The One whose will to do as He likes, nothing can oppose. 

Al-Muntaqim: The One who makes individuals live the consequences of their actions that impede in the realization of their essence. To ‘avenge’ (zuntiqam) is to make one ‘pay the price’ i.e. face the consequence of their doings without exception or pity. 

[2]The Pure Whole One! Free from the concept of multiplicity! Not formed of adjoining parts. Far from conceptualization and limitation. The self-sufficient One, in need of nothing! 

An authentic hadith narrates: “As-Samad is such that it bears no space or emptiness within it (all, whole, one).” 

[3]Quran 55:29
