(The Sincerest)
SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself
Allah is the fundamental absolute reality of being. His being is unique, with no comparison, and He is indivisible. His oneness encompasses all of reality. The book Al Quran designates the world of reality as ghaiba/unseen, while the world of matters is a realm of representation that serves as ayaati, signs to the world of ghaiba. The book Al Quran uses metaphors extensively to explain the conceptualize spiritual domain and Allah teaches the nafs/soul by revealing signs (of the metaphors) in the world of representation. These signs do not stand independently; essentially, they point to the reality that they represent.
The world of matter is not created by Allah. The whole universe exist in our mind. Our mental screen of perception generates thoughts, which are the products of our own mental activities, and give birth to the physical world. There is no true reality or being except Him. His being is not a construct of our minds; it is the essential, uncreated truth.
Occasionally, our thoughts accumulate unsubstantiated, baseless, incorrect assumptions, distorted information, and myths. It is Allah who guides and transforms those seeking self-improvement, dissolving these falsehoods and ego-driven beliefs so that the mind becomes pure and free from impurities generating the physical world as commanded by Allah. He is Allah. There is nothing like the likeness of Him.
The sincerest of all receive the knowledge of the truth, understand and attain the insights, and develop the skills to evolve towards a higher self in higher consciousness, saying Allah encompasses in unity (ahad), the only recourse to turn to (the samad), does not produce nor is He produced (lam yalid walam yulad), and nothing is equivalent to His encompassing oneness (walam yakullahu kufuwan ahad).
With the name Allah (the All-Encompassing Source whose name encompasses the measurements of existence and the unfolding chain of events leading to all observable outcomes), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the boundless system of factual knowledge and the Raheem is the grace bestowed upon those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom through the guidance of Ar Rahmaan).
