=> Dimensions of the Unseen world... itnessed by His secret ('the real through whom creation takes place') which He has implemented in everything [I.168.22, see also III.540.33]. Dimensions play a very important role in modern cosmology and mathematics. There are real dimensions and abstract dimensions. In principle, we can - ...
=> The Different Names of the Single Monad... e we see it as a point. Also if we suppose we go outside the world, we shall see it as a point; that is - as the Single Monad - indivisible but compound. This also has its example in modern cosmology as the black hole which occupies a single point in our space but itself is considered comp ...
=> The Contrasting Approaches of Sufism and Philosophy... who have not 'tasted' it their way. So when they try to explain their insights, not many people will understand what they say. The problem with the current laws and theories of physics and cosmology is that so far, although they have proved to be quite accurate and powerful in application ...
=> Time in Western Philosophy... , who stated in his book The Elements five postulates on which he based all his theorems. According to these postulates, space is homogeneous like that which we feel on the earth. In modern cosmology and with the highly intensity gravity found near giant stars and galaxies, space can no lo ...
=> The Metaphysical Triplicity (Trinity) of the Cosmos... because 'from the one alone nothing may be produced' [III.126.1]. In fact the metaphysical triplicity of subject, object and resulting act is fundamental throughout Ibn ‘Arabî's cosmology. Thus he summarizes the process of creation by saying that the Universal Intellect (subjec ...
=> Physical Time and Spiritual Time... he change of spiritual states, and its origin preceded the existence of the physical world. We can fairly say that Ibn al-Arabi's conception of natural time is the time known in physics and cosmology, and that this spiritual time resembles what is called by many modern philosophers 'psycho ...
=> The Age... rom this eternity (azal), time emerged.' [I.156.35] This could be slightly confusing, but there are some references in Ibn al-Arabi's writing that seem to parallel what is known in modern cosmology as the 'bubbles' model of the universe, where the universe is full of black holes that cau ...
=> The Divine Origin of the Seven Days of the Week... rized in Table III.1 which arranged from the First Day (Sunday) to the Seventh Day (Saturday). The information brought together in this Table III.1 provides essential keys to Ibn al-Arabi's cosmology, astrological symbolism, and understanding of the spiritual hierarchy. However here we are ...
=> The Origin of the World... ack to this important issue of the oneness of being (especially in Chapter V) as we continue our exploration of Ibn al-Arabi's view of time, because it is truly the key to understanding his cosmology and theology. Read Other Books: The Single Monad Model of the Cosmos: Ibn Arabi's View of ...
=> Time in Earlier Islamic Philosophy:... ded by Wasil Ibn ‘Ata’ in the secind century AH/eighth century AD. The Ash‘arites insisted that reason must be subordinate to the literal data of revelation. They accepted some of the cosmology of the Mu‘tazilites, but put forward a nuanced rejection of their theological principles ...
=> Relative and Curved Time... n us and bent (hadaba al-dahr ‘alayna wa inhana)' [I.202.7]. It is important to notice here that he used the word 'the age' (or eternal, 'divine time'), instead of time, because in modern cosmology the curvature of time is apparent only at very large scales, and we shall see below (secti ...
=> Human Teeth and Elementray Particles... are governed by normal symmetry. However, because of the novelty of these ideas, and since this is the first attempt to treat these esoteric subjects under the umbrella of physics and cosmology, the discussion in these two chapters will be limited to general description of their hier ...
=> The Two Cycles of Life... i also states clearly the order of creation in time during this cosmic time-cycle, for major events of the kinds created by Allah. The numbers that he gives clearly do not agree with modern cosmology and geology, and can not be explained or understood in those terms (as we showed in sectio ...
=> Space-Time and the Speed of Light... rse is a maximum terminal as we have seen above (the theory of Relativity), but in the anti-universe it would be a minimum terminal. Such a case, therefore, is predictable in Ibn al-Arabi's cosmology, as he mentions in regard to this mysterious 'earth of Reality'. =========== [1] For more ...
=> Days of Other Orbs and Divine Names... can not notice their motion from earth due to the large distance, because our age is too short to notice their motion despite their very high speed (an observation well confirmed by modern cosmology). Therefore when we say 'the day is the period of motion of fixed stars', we now know toda ...
=> Temporal Entanglement and the Phenomena of Single Particle Interference... 01 (2006). 4. R. P. Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. 3; Addison-Wesley: Reading (1965), p. 1-1. 5. M. Haj Yousef, “The Concept of Time in Ibn Arabi's Cosmology and Its Implications for Modern Physics”, Exeter University (2005), also: M. Haj Yousef, ...
=> Space-Time and Creation in Six Days... el, Ibn al-Arabi's complex, unique interpretation of those many verses in the Qur’an (and the Bible) that talk about the creation in six Days is promising in terms of modern astronomy and cosmology, because it suggests the first real unification between space and time, as well as a sense ...
=> DUALITY OF TIME - 3.4.5.10 Consistent Histories... .4.5.10 Consistent Histories The consistent histories interpretation generalizes the conventional Copenhagen interpretation and attempts to provide a natural interpretation of quantum cosmology. The theory is based on a consistency criterion that allows the history of a system to be ...
=> The Single Monad... nd a particular form (‘arad) which is its appearance. These very different dimensions and usages of the term ‘monad’/jawhar, however, are also intrinsically linked in Ibn al-Arabi’s cosmology, since he argues that all the monads of the world are created by, and are therefore the 'i ...
=> Time in Modern Science:... sands and millions of years ago when the light that we see now was actually emitted by them. But this is still not like travel in physical time, which is conceivable now only in theoretical cosmology. Although travel in time is possible and allowed according to the equations of Relativity, ...
=> The Four Main Time Cycles... seem to have any particular astronomical significance. However, Ibn al-Arabi's unique view, as explained below, gives a profound and essential significance to the Week in terms of astronomy/cosmology as well as the theology of creation. This will be the main focus throughout this chapter ( ...
=> Spreading the Shadows... deed very important existentially because Allah made them as guides for us, in all the ways we have just reviewed. But what is particularly important here, in terms of Ibn al-Arabi's actual cosmology and understanding of time, is that the created entities of the world that are the evanesce ...
The science of Time is a noble science, that reveals the secret of Eternity. Only the Elites of Sages may ever come to know this secret. It is called the First Age, or the Age of ages, from which time is emerging.
