SUMMARY
Surah Al Qamar is about the deceptive knowledge that needed to be identified, isolated and discarded when you want to establish your understanding of the truth from the ayaati / signs you read. Deceptive knowledge refers to knowledge that is misleading or false. It can be presented in a way that seems authoritative and reliable, but it is actually misleading and manipulative. It is important to be aware and to carefully evaluate the information that we rely on.
There are several attitudes or cognitive biases of our agitated mind that potentially trap us into considering the deceptive knowledge as true and valid :
a) Confirmation bias : This is the tendency to seek out information that confirms to our existing beliefs and ignore information that contradicts them. When we only seek out information that supports what we already believe, we will say the information that does not confirm to our beliefs as sihrun mustamirrun (a diversion of one who is nobody),
b) Emotional reasoning : This is the tendency to make judgments and decisions based on emotions, rather than on objective evidence and factual information.
c) Authority bias : This is the tendency to trust information that come from perceived authorities without questioning or verifying the accuracy of the information.
d) Overconfidence bias : This is the tendency to be overly confident in our own knowledge and abilities.
e) Bandwagon effect : This is the tendency to believe something simply because many other people believe it. We can be susceptible to defective knowledge that has gained widespread acceptance, even if it is not actually true.
If you turn to your Rabb for help when your cognitive biases hold you back, Allah will open the gates of higher consciousness and reveal the truth through ayaati / signs. Will there be any who take notice? Allah always make it easy for us to understand the Quran / expression of truth that is embedded in the ayaati / signs, but there are those who deny them, just like the established thoughts of Aad, Thamud, Lut and those acquainted with firaun. Those who choose to separate themselves and rely fully on their own knowledge and abilities, Allah will destroy them. Those who have subdued their arrogance and is mindful of Allah, Allah will place them in jannatin / hidden garden of knowledge consuming the knowledge that flowed in to them.. Everything will be written in their zuburi / intelligence that is determined and shaped (in relation to the realisation of meaning with insights and conscious understanding).
