Mankind's Limited Knowledge
One implication of the facts described so far is that actually, man's
knowledge of the external world is exceedingly limited.
That knowledge is limited to our five senses, and there is no proof that
the world we perceive by means of those senses is identical to the "real" world.
It may, therefore, be very different from what we perceive. There may
be a great many dimensions and other beings of which we remain unaware.
Even if we reach the furthermost extremities of the universe, our knowl-
edge will always remain limited.
Almighty God, the Creator of all, has complete and flawless knowl-
edge of all beings who, having been created by God, can possess only the
knowledge that He allows them. This fact is related in the Qur’an thus:
God, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not
subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth
belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permis-
sion? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they
cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His Footstool
encompasses the heavens and the Earth and their preservation does
not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Qur’an, 2: 255)

During sleep, you can dream of being on a tropic island. You live that moment in
all its reality. At that moment, nobody can convince you that you are dreaming.
Only when you awaken you realize it was all just a dream.
