78 KNOWING THE TRUTH

"illusion," "shadow," or "image." As a consequence of the perfection in His
Creation, human beings can never reach the world outside their brains.
Only Allah knows this real material universe. To say that something
exists in an absolute sense and that we can have any relation to it, arises
from a false premise. Moreover, because everything is an impression to us
created by Allah, there's no power or will that is independent of Allah.
Those who try to explain the existence of Allah, construct a logic of their
own and say, "We can't see Allah but we can't see radio waves either. We
know radio waves exist, therefore, Allah exists like a radio wave." This
line of reasoning is false. People who resort
to such logic believe that matter is absolute
and imagine that Allah (Surely Allah is
beyond all that) is like an abstract being that
surrounds matter. But truly, Allah is the
absolute being. Other things are
manifestations created by Him. Allah alone
exists; everything else is a shadow being.

AHMED: But we didn't learn these
things that way! I mean, okay Allah created
everything. There is no other deity besides

makes their own life.

result of some unfounded opinions.
Someone who thinks that matter itself is
independent of Allah will naturally
interpret everything according that these
ideas. Those who can't grasp Allah's eternal
power, knowledge and absolute existence
