Shams Al Ma’arif: the Sub Atomic

Описание: I am as guilty as the next man for portraying Shams Al-Ma’arif as an exploration of ancient mysticism.
But in this quantum age could it actually provide a far more profound explanation of creation and the make up of the cosmos?
Could it be that the critique of the book is a deliberate attempt to prevent us from unlocking its mysteries?
Certainly, I have been distracted by the wild allegations against the book, Al-Buni and all those who read it.
I have wasted so much of my time investigating baseless claims that I have somewhat missed the massive congruence with modern scientific knowledge.
It is exactly this that I seek to explore in this vlog.
At its time Shams Al-Ma’arif was somewhat radical as it represents as distinct progression from Al-Kindi’s cosmology and the divine timing of Gayhat al-Hakim.
Indeed, it develops the science of huruf (Arabic letters) contained in magic squares to point to the Divine Names of Allah.
It is thus seen as much more scientific than that which came before it and it should come as no surprise that it can be reinterpreted by modern science.
It is thus far from being a grimoire of pagan spells (a slur which implies polytheism) it is an exploration of Allah’s creation and with it the ongoing act of co-creation.
But there never was a dislocation or a separation between science and Islam.
If a debate ought to be initiated in the Islamic context, it ought to revolve around reviving the Islamic traditions that are anchored to Al-Tawhid in all its dimensions.
Shams Al-Ma’arif publication is so profound to Muslims, that the Islamic hierarchy chose to condemn and ban the publication.
A book so profound that it challenges almost everything we have been told Muslim’s believe.
A book which provides a radical alternative to Islam as it is portrayed and being constructed that even Christian intellectuals believe the narrative.
