about the true nature of matter that they may have never thought
about it thoroughly. Modern science, however, demolishes this prej-
udice about the nature of matter and discloses a very important and
imposing truth. In the following pages, we will explain this great re-
ality pointed to in the Qur'an.
The World of Electrical Signals
All the information we have about the world is conveyed to us by
our five senses. Thus, the world we know consists of what our eyes
see, our hands feel, our nose smells, our tongue tastes, and our ears
hear. Many people never think that the external world can be other
than what our senses present to us, since we've depended on those
senses since the day we were born.
Yet modern research in many different fields of science points to
a very different understanding, leading to serious doubt about the
"outside" world that we perceive with our senses.
Stimulations coming from an object are
converted into electrical signals and cause
effects in the brain. When we "see", we in
fact view the effects of these electrical
signals on the mind.
