In the Holy Name of God, the All-Compassionate, the All-Merciful,
With peace and blessings upon Seydina Muhammad , upon his holy family, and
upon his blessed Companions.

The Macrocosmos and the String Network of Dark Matter [ Realities of Falaq]
Revisiting the Reality of Dark Matter [ Falaq ]
In chapter
five we talked about the spiritual significance of dark matter and how it
relates to Light. Indeed, we saw that dark matter is a substance which does
not reflect Light and because of this characteristic, dark matter could be
viewed as a manifestation of everything that has no spiritual value.
However, it is important to know that although Allah {SWT} created a
substance that does not reflect Light, it does not mean that this substance
has no value at all levels of understanding. Allah {SWT} does not bring
forth a creation which has no value at all because all types of creation are
signs of Divine Mercy (Rahma) at one level or another. That is, every
creation must be beneficial to mankind at some level of spirituality.
As our
meditation on a reality increases, so does our understanding of it. At a
higher level, dark matter is a sign of the manifestation of the Ocean of
Divine Power (Barhul Qudra). Indeed, dark matter is a veil covering the
reality of the Ocean of Divine Power. This Ocean is the real origin of the
reality of Seydina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq {RA}.
Consequently,
at higher spiritual levels, dark matter is the door that hides the reality
of Seydina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq {RA}.
Seydina Abu
Bakr as-Siddiq {RA} was granted his special rank in the Cave of THAWR when
he accompanied Prophet {SAW} during his historical migration from Makkah to
Madinah. Naqshbandi Masters teach us that this cave of secrets is a
manifestation of Barhul Qudra, the Ocean of Divine Power in itself. The
reality of the cave, which symbolizes the reality of the human heart, is
manifested in science as the unknown and invisible structure scientists call
dark matter.
Dark matter is
not visible matter. Regarding this reality, Allah {SWT} says in the 36th
chapter of the Holy Quran:
"We have placed a barrier in front of them
and barrier behind them,
and we have made their eyes unable to see."
Ya Sin, 36:9
Here the
barrier is the entangled pattern of black matter in space and, as the Holy
Verse implies, the human eyes cannot see through it. This Holy Verse is from
the Chapter Ya Sin which is called the Heart of the Holy Quran. Since the
heart is also a manifestation of the Ocean of Divine Power, the Holy Verse
refers to the barrier that hides the reality of the Heart, or the Ocean of
Divine Power.
Moreover, this
Holy Verse is the 9th Verse of the chapter.
The number nine points to the
reality of the nine Points of the Heart; this reality is under the authority
of the nine highest Naqshbandi Masters. Therefore, the Holy Verse refers to
the barrier of dark matter that hides the reality coming from Seydina Abu
Bakr as-Siddiq {RA}.
This Holy
Verse was recited by Prophet {SAW} when he was stepping out from his home in
Makkah in order to migrate to the city of Madinah. Therefore, he {SAW} was
on his way to the Cave of THAWR. This is a sign that the reality of this
Verse becomes manifest on the way that leads to the reality of Seydina Abu
Bakr as-Siddiq {RA}. As we search for
this reality (i.e., on our way to the Cave of THAWR), we encounter the
reality of the barrier which prevents us from seeing through.
[The Spider Web]
Understanding Gravity
Scientists
said that dark matter is not detectable at all. However we know that it
exists because of its pulling effects on stars and galaxies. This effect is
what we know as gravity. Therefore, spiritually speaking, gravity is a sign
that confirms the existence of the Unknown Reality which cannot be seen.
The
gravitational effect of dark matter on planets and galaxies is enormous.
Indeed celestial bodies such as galaxies are held together by the gravity
supplied by dark matter. This gravitational effect teaches us a lot about
the spiritual nature of dark matter: dark matter, which hides the reality of
the Cave or the Ocean of Divine Power, cannot be seen but its existence can
be detected by the way it holds each material body at its place.
This
particular nature of dark matter is revealed in the 7th Chapter of the Holy
Quran. At the 143rd Verse of this chapter, Allah {SWT} says:
"You cannot see Me. But look at the Mountain,
if its stays at its place you may see Me."
Holy Quran, 7:143
Here the
Mountain is the system of all material and celestial bodies in the spatial
plane. Allah {SWT} is saying that we cannot see His Reality which is
manifested as the Heart of the Believer. However, although we cannot "see
Him", we may know about His Existence by witnessing and understanding how
the material bodies are maintained at their designated places. Since planets
and celestial objects are maintained at their designated orbits through the
gravitational force exerted by dark matter, one may conclude that dark
matter is the door that leads to the reality of the Heart.

String Network Pattern
The way dark
matter is distributed in space is interesting both from a spiritual
perspective and a scientific one. Recently, scientists discovered that dark
matter is entangled in a giant cosmic web resembling that of a spider. This
web is made up of filaments or strings that intersect at thick and opaque
nodes. These strings are known in Arabic as hubuk. Hubuk is a term derived
from the verb root habaka which means to wind threads into string, to weave
or to knit.
Mawlana Shaykh
Hisham {QS} talked about the filamentary structure of dark matter in his
book The Approach of Armageddon:
The Qur’an
mentions the skies (and space) with their strings and consequently knots
(51:7-8). With the aid of powerful technology, an understanding of the
physical universe has emerged that seems to explain this verse. According to
astronomers, the large scale structure of the universe’s visible matter
follows a filamentous pattern. This web of cosmological strings is evident
in both the visible universe and in what astronomers call "dark matter".
It shows not
only that the galaxies we see lie within larger dark matter clumps, but that
these clumps are connected by "cosmic filaments" - bridges of dark matter
that connect the clusters. The existence of these filaments has long been a
prediction of the theory of dark matter- that an intricate network of clumps
and filaments, the so-called cosmic web, pervades the universe.
The "Big Bang"
happened with all pieces of the universe blasting away from a colossal
explosion at tremendous speeds. Somehow all these particles were stopped and
held in place, becoming precisely ordered planets and galaxies. Allah {SWT}
caused the contents of the universe to be ordered by a network of strings
woven together like a net keeping all the heavenly bodies in their assigned
positions.

of Armageddon: p.73-74

[113:1 Say: I seek refuge in

قُلْ أَعُوذُ
بِرَبِّ الْفَلَ]ِ]
[Qul aAoothu
birabbi alfalaqi]
Spiritually
speaking, the filamentary structure of dark matter is a manifestation of the
spirituality of Seydina Ali {AS}, who was often sent into space in the time
of the Prophet {SAW} to make his spirituality manifest in the cosmos. We can
see part of this manifestation as the entangled filaments known as hubuks in
Arabic.
The cosmic web
covering black matter is also a representation of the spider web that was
covering the entrance of the cave of THAWR where Seydina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq
{RA} and Prophet {SAW} were staying
[ The Spider and Spider Web Are the Secrets of
29]
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham {QS} said in one of his spiritual
discussions that this web which was covering the entrance of the cave was a
manifestation of the spirituality of Seydina Ali {AS} who represents the
Door of the Presence of Prophet {SAW}. Similarly, the string pattern of dark
matter is a net covering the entrance of the reality of the cave. Behind
this net or web lies the reality of Seydina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq {RA}.
The four
Fundamental Forces and the Arabic Letter Nun
As we saw
earlier, the gravity supplied by dark matter holds the planets and galaxies
together. Without it, the system of celestial bodies would fall apart. In
The Approach of Armageddon, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham {QS} equated gravity to a
manifestation of the Arabic Letter Nun.
[كُنْ
فَيَكُونُ KN FEYA KUN , KAF-NUUN FA-YA
KAF-WAW-NUUN
7 Letters opening 7 Holy Powers of 7 Holy Verses
of Fatiha]
As the Shaykh
{QS} said, creation came to be from the Utterance of the Divine Order Kun
which is made up of two Arabic letters: Kaf [ Kawthar]
and Nun [ Nur/ Light ]. When the Kaf was pronounced, creation appears from
Barhul Qudra, the ocean of the Attribute of Divine Power. This creation flew
apart at an extremely high speed because of the intensity of the explosion.
Then, when the Nun was pronounced, the material bodies were stopped
instantly and thereof maintain at their rightful orbits. Thus the Nun is the
moderating force which keeps all planets at their designated levels and
which prevents them from flying apart.
This Nun is
manifested in our world as the four fundamental forces of the universe:
-
gravity,
-
the strong
force,
-
the weak force
-
and the
electromagnetic forces.
-
These four
forces are all different ways of expressing the same moderating force:
gravity holds the planets and galaxies together despite their tendencies to
fly apart due to the energy generated by the continuous explosion taking
place at the center the Big-Bang.
-
The strong
force holds the components of the atomic nucleus (proton and neutrons)
together.
-
The weak
force is responsible for the burning of the sun. This force acts on
quarks by allowing quark transformation which converts protons into
neutrons. The quark transformation process allows solar fusion to take
place.
-
As for the
electromagnetic force which acts on photons, it is responsible for
holding atoms and molecules together.
Therefore, it
is also a moderating force because photons are manifestations of the Light
of Prophet {SAW} and one of the Prophet {SAW}’s main abilities is to
moderate the Divine Energy coming from the Ocean of Barhul Qudra to a level
that may accommodate creation.
This is the
reality of Einstein’s mass-energy equation E=mc2.
Recently
scientists discovered that at the highest possible temperatures, the
electromagnetic force and the weak force merge together to form a single
force called the electro-weak force. If the temperatures are increased
sufficiently, this hybrid force will then merge with the strong force to
form a new single force. Scientists call this state the Grand Unified Theory
(GUT). Because of current limitations on technology, it is not possible to
increase the temperature in such a way that the hybrid force merges with the
force of gravity. However, scientists predict such unification at higher
temperatures. This theory is called the Theory of Everything (TOE) because
it unites all four forces into one single force.
The GUT as
well as the TOE scientifically prove that gravity, along with the three
other forces of nature, are all manifestations of the
same reality: that of
the Arabic letter Nun.
The three other forces of nature (strong, weak and
electromagnetic) are in fact different ways of expressing light:
-
the strong
force is concerned with the light in the nucleus,
-
the weak force
with the light of the sun,
-
and the
electromagnetic one with the photonic light.
-
Therefore, all
forces of the universe are manifestations of either gravity or light.
The reality of
Nun is coming from beyond the realm of the known universe. It is originally
emitted from the higher dimensions; then it travels down to reach the
physical realm as one of the four fundamental forces governing it. In The
Approach of Armageddon, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham {QS} quotes scientist Dr.
Michio Kaku who talks about light and gravity being interpreted as
manifestations of a higher-dimensional force reaching down to our
tri-dimensional world:
"Today, many
physicists believe that we are [like] a carp swimming in our tiny pond,
blisssfully unaware of invisible, unseen universes hovering just above us in
hyperspace. We spend out life in three dimensions, confident that what we
can see with our telescopes is all there is, ignorant of the possibility of
10
dimensional
hyperspace. Although these higher dimensions are invisible, their "ripples"
can clearly be seen and felt. We call these ripples gravity and light."
The Approach
of Armageddon, p.77
The four
fundamental forces of nature are manifestations of the four lights of the
Representatives of the Prophet {SAW}.
Because the
lights of all four Representatives of Prophet {SAW} are coming from the same
origin (the Muhammadan Light), their physical manifestations as fundamental
forces of nature are also coming from the same origin: the Big-Bang. At the
time of the Big-Bang (that is, in the presence of the Prophet {SAW} who is
the center of the Big Bang), all four forces were united. Scientists call
this period the Quantum Gravity Era because at that time gravity was unified
with the three forces. It was only after the cosmic temperature cooled off
that the four forces separated one by one to become distinct manifestations.
[Then
the Lord Almighty spoke: “Oh Muhammad, look before you!” Muhammad {s} did so
and he saw that all was replete with light.
-
The light before him was the
light of Abu Bakr.
-
The light behind him was the
light of ‘Uthman.
-
The light to his right was
the light of ‘Umar,
-
the light to his left was
the light of ‘Ali, may Allah be well pleased with them all.]
Similarly, it
is only when the physical Presence of the Prophet {SAW} left the earth that
his four Representatives assumed their individualities by ascending to the
throne of Guidance one by one.
Black
Holes and the Ocean of Divine Power
Besides the
reality of dark matter, the Ocean of Divine Power is also manifested in the
universe as the reality of black holes. A black hole is a region of space
made up of a concentration of mass great enough to prevent matter, light and
information from escaping its gravitational pull. The surface of a black
hole delimits a two-dimensional region inside of which matter and
information travel at a speed greater than the speed of light.
This region
is called the event horizon.
-
The center of the black hole is known as the
singularity.
-
The singularity is a point of infinite spacetime curvature.
-
At
that single point, which is similar to the mathematical notion of the
origin, the gravitational force becomes infinitely strong.
-
Spiritually
speaking, the singularity is the center of the reality of the Prophet {SAW}
(Haqiqat Muhammadiya).[Qalb/Shariah Sir/Tariqat,
SirSir/Marifat, Khafa/Haqiqat Muhammadia, Ahkfa/ Azimat]
The black hole
is a manifestation of the heart of the perfect Saint of God. There are five
different levels of spiritual hearts: Qalb, Sirr, Sirr as-Sirr, Khafa and
Akhfa. These five
stations are
different reflections of the heart of the Prophet {SAW} whose blessed Light
was placed in the Ocean of Divine Power by Allah {SWT} before creation came
to be.
A black hole
possesses several characteristics that make it unique:
-
• Because
anything inside the event horizon travels faster than the speed of
light, no information, not even light, can escape this region. Thus, the
information located inside the event horizon of the black hole cannot be
detected by an observer located outside of it. [ Ilm GHAYB, Unseen
Knowledge]
-
• As soon
as some particles reach the event horizon, they are inexorably bound to
hit the singularity. This fate is due to the fact that the particles can
only move closer and closer to the singularity because the event horizon
is moving at the speed of light. The only way to escape from it would be
to travel at a speed greater than light which is impossible.
Consequently, reaching the singularity is in inside every particle's
future.
These
characteristics can be interpreted spiritually in the following way.
-
The realities
and spiritual secrets that are contained in the heart of the perfect Saint
of God do not belong to the created world of dunya, the material universe.
-
These secrets
and realities are from the spirituality of the Light of Prophet {SAW}[ It is
the Knowledge of Barzak/Inter Dimensional State.
-
The nature of
this type of secrets and realities is clearly beyond the grasp of creation.
-
This is the
reason why the information contained within the event horizon of a black
hole travels at a speed greater than the speed of light.
-
The speed of light represents the face of the Prophet
{SAW} that is turned towards creation. In that aspect, it is a symbol of
creation itself. [Particle Form]
-
Therefore, anything traveling faster than the speed of
light is related to the Heavens and to the spiritual dimension of life.
[Wave Form]
-
There are
indeed speeds that are faster than the speed of light. For instance, the
speed of thought and the speed of the human heart are both considerably
greater than the velocity of light.
-
These speeds
are beyond the level of the created world.
-
The speed of
thought is related to the spirit and the
-
speed of the
human heart is related to the Divine Presence.
-
These speeds
are controlled by Awliya/Saints although they do not have permission to
reveal them.
Moreover, the
fact that an external observer cannot detect any information once it has
crossed the event horizon is a manifestation of the secret and silent
knowledge that is contained within the heart of the Perfect Saint of God.
Indeed, people
cannot grasp the knowledge that is generated and that is evolving in the
heart of a real Saint of God.
Finally, the
future of a particle that is in the event horizon of a black hole is a
manifestation of the future of any soul that is being remembered in the
heart of a perfect Saint. Indeed, the particles entering the region of the
event horizon are inexorably bound to reach the singularity of the black
hole.
Similarly, the souls of those who .enter. the heart of a perfect Saint
will be remembered by this Saint who will then inexorably lead them to the
presence of the Prophet {SAW}. This future meeting cannot be prevented
because the Saint is connected to the Prophet {SAW} and this connection
guarantees the Prophet {SAW}.s intercession for the souls that are
remembered by the Saint.
Similarly, the Awliya that are remembered in the
blessed heart of the Prophet {SAW} are bound to reach the prophetic
singularity, which is the Divine Presence. This is the reason why Sufi
people of all spiritual orders often supplicate to Prophet {SAW} by saying .
unzur
aleyna ya Rasul Allah!. (.Please look upon us, oh Messenger of God!.).
Indeed,
if the Prophet {SAW} remembers a soul through the heart of his
Representatives, that soul can be assured of its meeting with him {SAW} the
same way the particle entering the event horizon of a black hole is assured
of its meeting with the singularity.
[28:88 And cry
not unto any other god along with Allah. There is no God save him.
Everything will perish save His countenance{Face}. His is the command,
and unto Him ye
will be brought back{Singularity}.
Wala tadAAu maAAa Allahi

shayin halikun illa wajhahu lahu alhukmu wailayhi
turjaAAoona]
Understanding
Wormholes
Recently, a
new black hole theory has emerged. Some contemporary scientists believe that
black holes are not mere concentrations of dense mass, but rather, shortcuts
or bridges connecting different regions of space or even different
dimensions. These types of black holes are called Einstein-Rosen bridges or,
more commonly, wormholes. A typical wormhole is made up of a black hole that
is connected to a white hole. The black hole acts as a point of entry for
the particles while the white hole represents the exit point. The two holes
(black and white) may be separated by extremely great distances; they may
even be located in different universes. Thus, a particle would enter the
wormhole through the
black hole and travel at a speed greater than the velocity of light in order
to exit the wormhole through the white hole.
Although
wormholes are mathematically viable concepts, they are yet to be discovered.
However, GrandShaykh Nazim {QS} once said in a spiritual dimension that
black holes and white holes do exist. Moreover, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham {QS}
talked about white holes in
The
Approach of Armageddon in those terms:
.There is a
new understanding derived from string theory that black holes are not voids
but actually connections to other parts of the universe, what theoretical
physicists call .worm holes..
The Approach
of Armageddon, p.79
As we saw
earlier, black holes are manifestations of the heart of the perfect Saint of
God. This heart, which holds the secret of the reality of the Light of
Prophet {SAW}, appears through five different levels (Qalb, Sirr, Sirr
as-Sirr, Khafa and Akhfa). In that aspect, white holes are also
manifestations of the heart of the perfect Saint of God, although different
ones.
Consequently,
the connection that exists between a black hole and a white hole must be the
reflection of some type of connection existing between two different
stations of the heart of the perfect Saint of God. More precisely, there
must be a station of the heart that is connected to another station from a
different reality in a way that all the information contained in one station
could travel freely to the other station located in a different spiritual
reality.
The Prophet
{SAW} talked about this secret connection between two different levels of
the heart in the following hadith:
.Everything
that Allah {SWT} pours into my heart, I pour in the heart of Abu Bakr
as-Siddiq..
Naqshbandi
Masters teach us that the heart of Seydina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq {RA} is
manifested as the third station known as Sirr as-Sirr (the Secret of the
Secret) while the
Prophet {SAW}
has authority on the 5th station known as Akhfa (the Most Hidden).
According
to the above-mentioned Hadith, the knowledge and information that Allah
{SWT} pours in the heart of the Prophet {SAW} (the
Akhfa station) is automatically poured in the heart of Seydina Abu Bakr
as-Siddiq {RA} (the Sirr as-Sirr station) by permission of Prophet {SAW}.
Therefore, the
two stations are intrinsically linked, as if there was a hidden path
connecting them in the same way a black hole and a white hole are connected
together. Interestingly enough, the Sirr as-Sirr station is known in
spiritual milieus as the White station of the heart because of the nature of
its spirituality and the Akhfa station is referred to as the Black station.
The Black
station, which is a manifestation of the heart of the Prophet {SAW}, is the
station that receives Divine Knowledge from Allah {SWT} as expressed in the
hadith .
Everything that Allah {SWT} pours down in my heart..
On the other
hand, the White station is the station outpouring the Knowledge it receives
from Prophet {SAW} to creation.
Consequently,
the White station is the exit station connected to creation. It is from this
station that knowledge and spiritual secrets are disseminated in the
universe. This is the reason why the Siddiq Wali [ Khalwat Dar
Anjuman/Isolation Amongst the Crown] is the Wali who is constantly connected
to creation, as we saw in the Linear Algebra chapter. This connection is
needed because the Siddiq Wali must inherit from the secret of the two holy
faces of Prophet {SAW} (one face connected to God and one face connected to
creation). Scientifically speaking the natures of the Black and White
stations are verified by the wormhole concept: the
black hole is indeed the point of entry of information and the
white hole the point of exit.
II - The
Microcosmos and String Theory
1 - What is
String Theory?
We just saw
how the macrocosmos is affected by the strings of dark matter pervading in
space. Strings are also involved in the basic formation of the microscomos.
According to contemporary physicists, the universe as we know it is
primarily composed of oscillating strings. Indeed, all the fundamental
particles that make up the universe (atoms, electrons, quarks, etc) are in
fact different manifestations of the same object: an extremely
minuscule loop of string of about 10-33 centimeters. This length is called
the Planck length. String theory was born from the need to unify the force
of gravity with the three other forces.
The tiny
strings that make up the universe are either closed string loops or open
string loops. Both types of strings are represented in the figure below.
Figure 43:
A closed loop
string (left) and an open loop string (right)
The
fundamental strings possess interesting properties: they are always under
tension or in excitation mode much like the strings of a guitar. Thus, the
strings are constantly vibrating. The degree of oscillation of a string
determines the properties of the particle it represents. Thus, a string
vibrating a certain way will produce an electron whereas the particular
oscillation of another string will produce a photon.
Therefore, all
components of matters only differ from each other in the way their inner
strings vibrate.
The vibrations
of the strings are similar to the musical notes of an instrument. Since each
string oscillates at a precise note, one may think of the universe as a
giant orchestra constantly performing a series of new musical tunes.
Spiritually speaking, these musical notes are celebrations of the praises of
God (zikir). The strings are indeed constantly engaged in chanting the
divine attributes of God.
Regarding this
assertion, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani {QS} says in The Approach of
Armageddon:
String
theory (.) holds that sub-atomic particles are vibrations, or
resonances, of minute strings. The vibrations of the strings are like
musical notes of a violin with different strings producing different
vibrations, or different notes. Al Allah {SWT} said in the Holy Quran:
.There is
not a thing but celebrates His praise. (al-Isra 17:44).
The
Approach of Armageddon, p. 76
The
10-Dimensional Universe
It is commonly
known that there are four spatial dimensions:
-
width,
-
height,
-
depth
-
and Time.
According to string theory, the strings require other higher spatial
dimensions to exist.
These extra
dimensions are collapsed in an extremely minuscule ball associated with
every single point of the universe. Because of this collapse, the higher
dimensions are too small to observe directly. The number of extra dimensions
varies from one string theory to another. However, the most popular string
theory predicts the existence of six higher spatial dimensions, bringing the
total number of dimensions to ten (six unknown dimensions + four known
ones).
These six
unknown dimensions hidden in each single point of the universe are
reflections of the six unknown realities which are hidden in every single
human heart and which are the keys to sainthood.
Scientists
believe that at the instant of the Big Bang (during its high energy phase)
the universe was fully 10-dimensional. The instant of the Big Bang is the
instant of the manifestation of Nur Muhammad {s}, the Light of the Prophet
{SAW}. During that particular moment, which is eternal and in constant
manifestation, the Presence of the Prophet {SAW} makes the six unknown
realities of the human heart completely manifest because any soul that
reaches the Presence of the Prophet {SAW} becomes lifted to the rank of
sainthood. It is only when the Light of the Prophet {SAW} veiled itself from
a soul that the six realities hide themselves within the depth of the heart.
Similarly, it is only after the instant of the Big Bang that the six
dimensions collapsed and hid in a tiny ball.
3 -
Super symmetry
At some level,
string theory requires the existence of what scientists call super symmetry.
Super symmetry is a yet-to-be proven symmetry between the particles that
transmit forces (called bosons) and the particles that make up matter
(called fermions). According to the Standard Model of particle physics, all
fundamental particles such as protons, photons, and gravitons can be broken
down into two broad categories: bosons and fermions. Thus, this theory
predicts that there is a superpartner associated with every boson and
vice-versa.
Spiritually
speaking, this theory is a reflection of an important heavenly principle:
that there must be a recipient of Mercy (marhum) if there is a Grantor of
Mercy (Rahman).
Here the Grantor of Mercy is manifested as the element that
transmits a force (the boson) and the recipient of mercy is the element that
makes up matter (the fermion). Transmitting a force means transmitting
Divine Mercy to creation because, as we saw earlier, all forces represent
either gravity or light and both are manifestations of the Arabic letter Nun
at higher levels. On the other hand, receiving blessings and mercy is a
characteristic of creation which is in constant need of support from the
Heavens. Moreover, creation lies within the delimited plane of dunya. Thus,
it is a reflection of the fermion which makes up the material plane.
Therefore,
supersymmetry is yet another proof that all scientific laws are nothing but
manifestations of eternal and divine principles that are brought forth by
the blessed heart of the Prophet {SAW}.
