                    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 uni-
                verse, our knowledge will always remain limited.
                    Almighty God, the Creator of all, has complete and flawless knowledge 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 permission? 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)

                    In order to perceive, no external world is necessary. Given the right kind of stimulation to the brain,
                sensations of touch, sight, and sounds, can be recreated in the brain. The best example of this process is
                dreams.
                    During dreams, your body typically remains still
                and motionless in a dark and quiet bedroom, and
                your eyes remain shut. Neither light nor sound nor
                any other stimuli from the exterior world is reaching
                your brain for it to perceive. Yet in your dreams, you
                still perceive experiences very similar to real life. In
                your dreams you also get up and go to work, or go
                on vacation and enjoy the warmth of the sun.
                    Furthermore, in dreams you never feel doubts
                about the reality of what you experience. Only after
                you wake up you realize your experiences were on-
                ly dreams. You not only experience such feelings as
                fear, anxiety, joy and sadness but also see different
                images, hear sounds and feel matter. Yet there is no
                physical source producing these sensations and per-
                ceptions; you lie motionless inside a dark and quiet
                room.
