From a Single Dot to Infinite Order | Geometry & the Unity of Creation - Farid Ahmad and Idrees Butt

Описание: In this episode, we sit with Farid Ahmed, a retired officer whose journey into geometry began in 2018 through curiosity and fascination and evolved into deep study, research, and teaching.

Since 2020, Farid Ahmed has been actively teaching and exploring geometric patterns at Hast-o-Nees, helping learners discover geometry not just as a subject, but as a language of beauty, rhythm, and meaning.

This conversation travels through Islamic geometry, naturally occurring patterns, sound and rhythm, and the timeless appeal of geometric reasoning. It explores why geometry continues to mesmerize across cultures and generations — and why understanding it at its core changes how we see the world.

Highlights
• A personal journey from curiosity to teaching geometry
• How geometric fascination begins and evolves
• Organizing geometric understanding into clear levels and milestones
• The science and spirituality behind Islamic geometry
• Patterns, curves, and forms found in nature
• Geometry’s connection with rhythm, sound, and harmony
• Why geometric reasoning sharpens thinking beyond mathematics
• Resources to strengthen foundational understanding
• Rediscovering beauty through shapes and patterns
