Essence of Matter" as well as in the books Matter: The Other Name for
Illusion; Idealism, The Philosophy of the Matrix and the True Nature
of Matter, Eternity Has Already Begun; Timelessness and the Reality
of Fateand Knowing the Truthhas been criticized by some people. Having
misunderstood the essence of the subject, these people claim that what
is explained as the secret beyond matter is identical to the teaching
of Wahdatul Wujood.
Let us state, before all else, that the author of this book is a
believer strictly abiding by the doctrine of Ahlus Sunnah and does not
defend the view of Wahdatul Wujood.
However, it should also be remembered that Wahdatul Wujood was
defended by some leading Islamic scholars including Muhyiddin Ibn
'Arabi. It is true that numerous significant Islamic scholars who
described the concept of Wahdatul Wujood in the past did so by
considering some subjects found in these books. Still, what is
explained in these books is not the same as Wahdatul Wujood.
Some of those who defended the view of Wahdatul Wujood were engrossed
by some erroneous opinions and made some claims contrary to the Qur'an
and the doctrine of Ahlus Sunnah. They, for example, completely
rejected the creation of Allah. When the subject of the secret beyond
matter is told, however, there is definitely no such claim. This
section explains that all beings are created by Allah, and that the
originals of these beings are seen by Him whereas people merely see
the images of these beings formed in their brains.
Mountains, plains, flowers, people, seas—briefly everything we see and
everything that Allah informs us in the Qur'an that exists and that He
created out of nothing is created and does indeed exist. However,
people cannot see, feel or hear the real nature of these beings
through their sense organs. What they see and feel are only the copies
that appear in their brains. This is a scientific fact taught at all
schools primarily in medicine. The same applies to the article you are
reading now; you can not see nor touch the real nature of it. The
light coming from the original article is converted by some cells in
your eyes into electrical signals, which are then conveyed to the
sight center in the back of your brain. This is where the view of this
article is created. In other words, you are not reading an article
which is before your eyes through your eyes; in fact, this article is
created in the sight center in the back of your brain. The article you
are reading right now is a "copy of the article" within your brain.
The original article is seen by Allah.
In conclusion, the fact that the matter is an illusion formed in our
brains does not "reject" the matter, but provides us information about
the real nature of the matter: that no person can have connection with
its original.
This fact is told in the book Idealism, The Philosophy of the Matrix,
and the True Nature of Matteras follows:
THERE IS MATTER OUTSIDE OF US, BUT WE CANNOT REACH IT
… [S]aying that matter is an illusion does not mean it does not exist.
Quiet the contrary: whether we perceive the physical world or not, it
does exist. But we see it as a copy in our brain or, in other words,
as an interpretation of our senses. For us, therefore, the physical
world of matter is an illusion.
The matter outside is seen not just by us, but by other beings too.
The angels Allah delegated to be watchers witness this world as well:
And the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and
on the left. He does not utter a single word, without a watcher by
him, pen in hand!(Qur'an, 50: 17-18)
Most importantly, Allah sees everything. He created this world with
all its details and sees it in all its states. As He informs us in the
Qur'an:
… Heed Allah and know that Allah sees what you do.(Qur'an, 2: 233)
Say: "Allah is a sufficient witness between me and you. He is
certainly aware of and sees His servants."(Qur'an, 17: 96)
It must not be forgotten that Allah keeps the records of everything in
the book called Lawh Mahfuz (Preserved Tablet). Even if we don't see
all things, they are in the Lawh Mahfuz. Allah reveals that He keeps
everything's record in the "Mother of the Book" called Lawh Mahfuz
with the following verses:
It is in the Source Book with Us, high-exalted, full of wisdom.(Qur'an, 43: 4)
… We possess an all-preserving Book.(Qur'an, 50: 4)
Certainly there is no hidden thing in either heaven or Earth which is
not in a Clear Book.(Qur'an, 27: 75)
