thoroughly. Modern science demolishes the prejudice about the
nature of matter and discloses a very important and imposing re-
ality. In the following pages, we will try to explain this great real-
ity to which the Qur'an points.

The World of Electrical Signals

All the information that we have about the world we live in is
conveyed to us by our five senses. The world we know of consists
of what our eye sees, our hand feels, our nose smells, our tongue
tastes, and our ear hears. We never think that the "external" world
can be other than what our senses present to us, as we have been
dependent only on those senses since the day of our birth.
Modern research in many different fields of science, how-
ever, points to a very different understanding and creates serious
doubt about our senses and the world that we perceive with
them.
The starting-point of this approach is that the notion of an
"external world" shaped in our brain is only a response created in
our brain by electrical signals. The only information you have
about the redness of the apple, the hardness of the wood, – even,
your mother, your father, your family, and everything that you
own, your house, your job, and the lines of this book, are com-
prised only of electrical signals. In other words, we can never
know the true color of the apple in the outside world, nor the
true structure of wood there, nor the real appearance of our par-
ents and the ones we love. They all exist in the outside world as
Allah's creations, but we can only have direct experience of the
copies in our brains for so long as we live.
