All awakened spiritual persons and philosophers are in THE
QUEST to seek the spiritual Truth. Their quest, if true in spirit and purpose,
will make them stand on the threshold of awakening and enlightenment.
We mumineen are so blessed and fortunate to be in possession
of that TRUTH –
OUR MOULA (TUS). He openly declares that ‘mumineen tame fikr
na karo, Imam Husain na gum ma bas ek ansoo nikali do – maru kaam thai gayoo'
During the historic and most memorable, meavi milad vaaz
mubarak, the Husaini tara, who we mumineen are so blessed to be witness to,
said : ' mumineen mari tadbeer ma - tamne zamin thee a'smani bannava ma, mane
yaari a'po,jeh chhe teh Moula chhe, Moula duniya ane akherat ma olkhee lese' So
let us reach out to him rejoice and celebrate,
In this post let us try to understand some of the scientific
discoveries, that are helping us to understand better the Spiritual Truths. The
latest scientific research is moving away from materialism to spiritualism.
We are now in the Aquarian Age, and with each passing year
the Religious Truths of Monotheism, will find credence and acceptability by new
discoveries in Quantum Physics. The Universe forming out of the BIG BANG was at
odds with the Religious Truths, but with the latest M Theory, although I am not
a student of science, and my knowledge is very limited, I think and there is a
gut feeling, each new scientific discovery is inching closer to the
understanding of Tawhid.
The M Theory was propounded first by Edward Wittens, this
Theory is based on tiny strings vibrating in 10 dimensional space time. Now for
me personally this 10 dimensional space time is very exiting, when it gives
scientific credence to the Theory of emanation (fadl) originally propounded by
Plotinus (204 to 270 BC) in Enneads.
Central to Plotinus metaphysics, is the process of ceaseless
emanation (fadl) and out flowing from the THE ONE. Plotinus gives metaphors,
such as the radiation of heat from fire, fragrance from a flower, or light from
the sun. Now the M Theory postulates, that tiny strings vibrate in 10
dimensional space time.

Most of the Scientist are in agreement that with the help of
this M Theory, many paradoxes are being solved. Just one example – why the
force of Gravity is so weak. Now the scientist are of opinion that as Gravity
passes through several dimensions, it becomes weak.
Science has taken a long road from Einstein’s Theory of
Gravity replaced by The String Theory to be followed by the Super String Theory
in 1980 and with exiting and verifiable discoveries in Quantum Physics, and the
latest M Theory, as stated above.
Now let me take up the BIG BANG theory, literary by it's
horns, which is at odds with the Spiritual Truth. This theory in the past was a
very soar point, a thorn in the flesh, in establishing a symmetry between
Spirituality and Science.
The problem is that, we get attached to words, and start
believing in them. Recent scientific discoveries are proving that there was no
BANG – BANG in the BIG BANG. Now that very thing is somewhat of a solace to me.
My friends let me share with you the truth behind the
misnomer BIG BANG (Book Ref: Code Name God – The Spiritual Odyssey of a Man of
Science by Mani Bhaumik. Ph.D)
The idea of Cosmic Explosion, kicking off the expansion of
the universe – this idea was first conceived by George Lemaitre – a Belgian
priest, and the British astronomer Fred Hoyle, in jest, coined the term BIG
BANG. Mark the words - 'in jest'
So the truth is that the term was coined in jest, we all
latched on to it, as any thing theatrical, appeals to each and every one of us.
BIG BANG is more appealing that the Spiritual Truth – the
fact that it was ‘huboot’ (darkness, murk and gloom) that descended because we
in the ‘roohani A’lam’ did not listen to Moulana A'shir – Aqa Moula (TUS)
farmave chhe ‘ La’la (roshni) chali gaiyee – woh A’lam to’ noor nu A’lam chhe –
waha kem rehvaye – hayula wajood ma avaoo.'
The COBE data has confirmed that the universe is made up of
4.5 per cent ordinary matter, 25 per cent dark matter of an as yet unknown
composition, and more important about 70 per cent of mysterious factor known as
dark energy.
What I understand is that all the Scientific discoveries
pertain to the understanding of this material reality. We were eased out of the
Paleroma, darkness engulfed, material reality, which the scientists are trying
to understand - hayula - total body came into existence, largely on account of
the 'rehmat' of Moulana A'shir, who did the tadbeer. So there was no BANG -
BANG. Now Quantum Science, is proving it too.
Scientists are now saying conclusively that 'noise' requires
a medium to carry the sound waves. It was an 'explosion of space' (easing out
from the Roohani A'lam is what I understand) and not an explosion.
Scientists Penzias and Wilson says, that we can listen to
the energy of creation, and this energy is every where. If you look at the
static on your T V channel, which should be not any receiving channel, you will
see dots beginning to dance. which according to Mani Bhaumik - 'we are looking
at the very ancient fingerprint, because a percentage of that static is a
microwave remnant of the birth of the universe' (hayula)
I personally found the scientific predictions not going
against my spiritual believes (Note: I am talking about my self only - my
quest) once I did away with the notion of BIG BANG and tried to understand how
'hayula' came about - the tadbeer of Moulana A'shir. With this notion in mind,
I found scientific discoveries validating some of my spiritual concepts.
With rapid advance in Quantum Physics and decades of
laboratory experiments and observations made by powerful COBE satellite, the
predictions agree with the observational data to an astounding degree of
accuracy of one part per billion. I would be a fool not to take into
consideration, or turn a blind eye to all this scientific established fact.
The Scientific fact : By one second after the BIG BANG ( I
see it not as a BANG but as tadbeer of Moula A'shir on receiving 'fadl'
emanation from all the roohani asmaan - the Intellects above him in Al'm ul
Ibda, with this concept in mind always, the scientific facts become easy to
understand) the temperature had fallen to ten billion degrees, and the universe
was like a giant thermonuclear reactor gradually cooling by expansion. (hayula
wujood ma ayu)
Prof: Alan Guth's GUT ( grand unified theory) pioneering
work came from his study of the first blink of the awakened Universe, where the
symmetry was intact and reality was far smaller than the head of a pin.
The universe's essential traits were established as early as
one hundred millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second
from its inception (Book page 158) I am not saying this - the observed data by
Scientists, is stating this, which has helped me to understand, not wholly, but
to a certain extent, the Spiritual Truth of Quran Ayah ' kun - fayakun'
"BE" -and it is!
Now let us see how the recent scientific discoveries are
making renowned scientists, into spiritual thinkers, affirming the Spiritual
Truths, which have been there for centuries.
Eminent physicist Freeman Dyson also finds that " the
universe in some sense must have known that we are coming"
John Wheeler, one of the most thoughtful scientist of our
time, concludes from his extensive studies of Quantum physics that "It is
incontrovertible that the observer (Moulana A'shir according to me) is a
participator in genesis."
Mani Bhaumik states - The Observer ( Moula A'shir ne duniya
na hawala chhe - so states Syedi Sadik ali Saheb) That's consciousness, and we
are conscious agents, vehicles for manifestation of a potentiality that was
there from the start. (roohani A'lam ma apan bhi hata -gunah na sabab gira)
Quantum physicists have demonstrated beyond any reasonable
doubt, that the 'observer' and the 'observed' are fundamentally connected,
their relationship is interactive and participatory. This than my young friends
is the Spiritual Truth.
The most vivid experiment is called the entanglement or the
non locality experiment, and how particle phycists, are now able to achieve
quantum teleportation. In one of my earlier post, I had written in detail about
this experiment.
Now let me share with my young friends, my reflections and
observation made during the meavi milad mubarak vaaz, and it is based on my
knowledge derived from quanum physic experiment, referred above. Click on the
link, before reading on my observation to get a complete idea of my spiritual
concept based on scientific facts.
A very humble Milad tribute to my Moula.

The world wide community of mumineen may have surely
noticed, the outpouring of emotional feelings of our Moula, at the end of the
vaaz, when he said how he wished, that he could be able to do ' mua'naqo' ( a
noble Fatemi tradition of embrace, which in common parlance, we refer to as -
gale lagavi devu)
How did our Moula achieve this impossible feat, he did
achieve it, and I will show you how.
With the help of ' quantum teleportation' that is by telling
us all to do matam e Husain, by superimposing on all of us, the roohaniyat of
matam, and thus although great distance separated each of us, our Moula was
able to realize his wish, of granting all of us the 'sharaf' of 'muanaqo'. You
all may have observed, that while sada't kiram sahebs were doing 'mua'naqo',
Aqa Moula (TUS) was doing matam himself, and extolling all of us to do 'matam'
in a sense, he was giving us all the 'sharaf' of 'mua'naqo' on his 100th Milad.
This is what. I have observed and reflected. The symmetry of Spirituality and
Science.
Both elementary force particles and elementary matter
particles are merely excitations of their corresponding underlying field, which
makes the quantum fields, in a sense, the breeding ground of material creation.
Scientists are now stating conclusively, that the quantum fields, is in a
sense, the breeding ground of material creation. (The spiritual truth is that
Moulana A'shir, is the giver of Forms) Excitations of the underlying fields
results in formation of electrons, neutrinos, protons.
Cosmology points to a likely scenario : A single field
emerged (tadbeer of Moulana A'shir, as I understand) at the origin of the
universe, already containing within it self, the blueprint of the physical
universe, just as a human genome contains the plan for an entire human.
Such and other dramatic scientific discoveries, have made
the Materialistic Theory that had held sway for more than four centuries,
completely redundant. The Intellectual Spirit of Islam, the preserved
compilations of our Doat e Kiram, huddod fozala kiram sahebs, the studies and
translations by the European Scholars, in the later part of the 19th and during
20th Century, has played a vital role.
Way back in 1930 - Astrophysicst Sir James Jeans wrote - '
The universe begins to look more like a great thought, than like a great
machine'
Let me conclude this series of THE QUEST,the sixth written
during Milad e meavi and coincidentally, my 100th Post on Mind Mints blog, with
the Nashihat of Syedi Sadik ali Saheb
“ Tawhid ehne khaiye
Jeh chhe Khuda na muka
gar chhe Khuda nathi yeh
pan jan jeh Khuda chhe’
' AS ABOVE, SO BELOW ' The Spiritual truths remain unchanged
for centuries.
