We spoke in a previous article about the context and characteristics of the four types of enlightenment thought currently widespread in understanding the Qur’an, and in this article we will talk about the characteristics and context common to the types.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=801569717445960&id=100027788172171 If we observe all the previous types of enlightenment thought, we will find that there is a common context and characteristics between them.
1- All four enlightenment types believe in the Roman era of the world, and believe in the unity of religions. This thing created a wrong outlook for them during their first entry into contemplating the Qur’an, and before projecting their enlightenment thought onto the Qur’an.
2- There are common characteristics between secular enlightenment thought, spiritual Sufi enlightenment thought, and symbolic enlightenment thought.
– Going to another geography, importing ready-made, packaged thought from it and projecting it onto the Qur’an.
– Relying on heritage books, but in a selective manner, which is compatible with the new thought that he brought to the Qur’an.
– Belief in the oneness of religion, while projecting his new idea onto the Qur’an
– Reality is absent, and preoccupation with another reality, whether real or virtual reality.
– It is necessary for me to bend the vocabulary and meanings of the Qur’an so that it is compatible with the new thought in which they believe.
– Great attention and focus on certain texts in the Qur’an, which represent controversial issues in a reality that does not belong to it, while the rest of the texts of the Qur’an do not receive such attention and focus.
3- As for the common characteristics between the second and third types, Sufi spiritual enlightenment thought and symbolic enlightenment thought:
– A violent rejection of material reality, and for him the material world is considered a state of non-belief and a state of pagan polytheism.
– The belief that the words of the Qur’an are never designations for material things, but rather spiritual concepts and moral intellectual symbols.
Most of the focus of his intellectual debate revolves around specific words and meanings in the Qur’an, because they have a relationship to material reality.
– The Qur’an contains a complex philosophical discourse, not a discourse for the ordinary person.
– Complete belief in the Roman era as a historical context from which the philosophies that he adopts emerged and that they preceded the revelation of the text of the Qur’an, as if it were the historical ground from which the Qur’an emerged.
Now…what concerns us from all these common characteristics is one characteristic common to all types, which will clearly explain the essence of the true story of this enlightenment thought with all its four types, and this common characteristic is (the word).
If you observe all the previous types, you will find that they target the concept of (the word), or their first foundation was built on the basis of the definition of the word, or in other words, they were built on the basis of the definition of (the word). They all have a specific philosophy of faith in (the word), and it seems to you that they are different philosophies of faith. But the truth is one philosophy.
If the Qur’an consists of words, sentences, and meanings, how can we understand the discourse of the Qur’an when we have different philosophies in defining the word? Therefore, all these types of enlightenment thought were designed to target (the word) in the discourse of the Qur’an.
how ?
– In secular liberal enlightenment thought.
You will find that the concept of the word came to him from European Christian philosophy, which discussed the concept of Jesus at the Nicene Conference, in which the debate was about the divinity or humanity of Christ. This philosophy created two groups according to Christian history. There was a group that said that Jesus was human and another group that said that he was divine.
This philosophy was projected by this enlightenment thought onto the discourse of the Qur’an, relying on the same Christian philosophical heritage and relying on the issue of the creation of the Qur’an that the Mu’tazilites discussed.
how ?
The Qur’an says that the Massih, Issa, son of Maryam, was a word from Allah that he delivered to Maryam, and therefore the secular liberal enlightenment thought relied on Christian philosophy and the Mu’tazilites to treat the problem.
If Massih is divine in the view of Al-Nasarah, while he is human in the view of a Muslim, and Issa Massih is in the Qur’an (a word), then it is better for a Muslim who rejects divinity (a word) and to believe that the Qur’an (the word) of Allah is also human, and is a historical text. .
Meaning
If the Muslim refuses
God + Maria = Jesus = Divine… Christian belief
And he believes that
Allah + Maryam = Issa (word) = human…. Muslim belief
It is better for a Muslim to believe in the following equation, which is compatible with the Muslim’s equation with his belief in Issa (the Word of Allah):
Allah + the Messenger = the Qur’an (the word of Allah) = human… Muslim belief
permission
The Word moved from the divine state to the human state.
That is, the words of the Qur’an are human and historical.
– In enlightenment and spiritual Sufi thought.
His concept of the word came from Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and Sufi heritage, which are spiritual concepts.
The word moved from the real state to the spiritual state.
That is, the words of the Qur’an are spiritual concepts.
– And in symbolic and moral enlightenment thought.
His concept of the word came from the Greek philosophy of logos and from the symbols of the ancient religions in the region, which the West extracted from the inscriptions of the region, and they are intellectual and moral symbols.
The word moved from the realistic state to the moral state.
That is to say…..the words of the Qur’an are intellectual and moral symbols.
– In enlightenment mathematical thought.
His concept of the word came from mathematical logic, which is logical mathematical symbols.
The word moved from the realistic state to the abstract state.
That is, the words of the Qur’an are abstract mathematical symbols.
Now let’s combine these results into a general result:
The Word moved from the divine state to the human state.
The word moved from the real state to the spiritual state.
The word moved from the realistic state to the symbolic state
The word moved from the realistic state to the abstract state
permission
The words of the Qur’an are human and historical
The words of the Qur’an are spiritual concepts
The words of the Qur’an are intellectual and moral symbols
The words of the Qur’an are abstract mathematical symbols.
Now…what is the explanation for this general result?
First, let me give an example.
What if you wanted to write a small letter and asked that only your great-grandchildren carry out your will after 150 years?
The message says:
I kept your money documents and 200 pieces of gold in a box, and I sent it with a person named Issa to the City of Light so that he could bury him in the old house next to the small house. He buried him in the entrance to the second floor on the right side in the far corner, and beware of anyone resembling to you my messenger, “Issa” by someone else, it’s is a fraud.
Now…if we assume that we are 150 years later, and a family appears in the City of Light saying that they are the grandchildren of a person named Jesus, your son, and your message reached them, and at that time your grandchildren were four, and each one of them carried enlightenment thoughts of these types. Previously, the question that will impose itself: How will your grandchildren understand this message of yours, and do you think that this message of yours will reach them well and that they will understand it?
Let’s watch your grandchildren
– Your grandson, who has liberal enlightenment thought, believes that your message had reached that family before him, and your message, which they still keep, has become a historical case and no longer speaks about a living reality, and he has come to believe that the message is not from you, but from another ordinary, public person.
He will interpret the words of your message as follows:
Monument…a word related to a historical situation that has ended
permission
Your message moved him from private status to public status.
The words of your message have become ordinary historical.
Your grandson, who has Sufi enlightenment thought, believes that your message reached that family before him, and your message, which they still maintain, has a philosophical and spiritual dimension.
He will interpret the words of your message as follows:
The old house….a spiritual concept
The small house and the old house…is a transition from a lower spiritual state to a higher spiritual state.
permission
Your message moved him from a realistic state to a spiritual state.
The words of your message have become spiritual concepts.
Your grandson, who has symbolic enlightenment thought, believes that your message reached that family before him, and your message, which they still maintain, has a philosophical, symbolic, and moral dimension.
He will interpret the words of your message as follows:
The old house…a symbol that has an intellectual meaning associated with anything old
The box…an intellectual symbol that means something that retains moral value.
permission
Your message moved him from the realistic state to the symbolic state.
The words of your message have become intellectual symbols.
Your grandson, who has enlightenment mathematical thought, believes that your message reached that family before him, and your message, which they still maintain, has become an abstract, mathematical, symbolic dimension.
He will interpret the words of your message as follows:
Old house….engineering concept
The right side and angle… is the point of intersection of a right-angled triangle in which the solution must be at the hypotenuse connecting them.
Your message moved him from the realistic state to the abstract state.
The words of your message have become mathematical symbols.
What is the conclusion?
The bottom line is that your message will never reach them, and they will never understand it.
Why ?
What is mathematics?
There are schools of thought that have many philosophies about mathematics. There is, for example, the formal school and the intuitive school, to which many mathematicians belong. Among those schools is the logical school, which views mathematics and geometry as a logical structure free of error. Bertrand Russell is considered among them. The founders of this school, he is considered the first theoretician of this school and he wrote many books that talk about mathematics as a logical structure.
This thing made some Greek philosophers, according to what we were told in the printer’s books, say that this science is the basis of all sciences, and that this science must be studied from childhood to develop the human mind, and that this world was built by a mathematical engineer.
But another scientifically proven practical theory emerged, the theory of completeness, and this theory says that there is no complete system, and among these systems is the system of mathematics and engineering.
What does this conversation matter to us?
We are interested in studying theories of linguistics, because there is a modern theory that says that language has a logical structure like the structure of mathematics, and that the human brain may be designed according to a logical mathematical structure, which allowed it, during its development, to invent the human language.
This is normal, as in the field of artificial intelligence, they rely in their studies on many sciences, including linguistics and mathematical logic.
But what matters to us in talking about mathematical logic and that linguistic theory is knowing the approach through which an entity created religions based on those spiritual and symbolic religious philosophies.
how ?
Do you find pleasure when solving mathematical equations?
I think the answer is yes, because it is natural that every person finds great pleasure when he solves mathematical equations that contain many unknowns and reaches the correct solution.
Solve this equation
x + y = 1
x – y = 0
now
– What if I changed the names of the unknowns of the mathematical equation, so instead of (x) I would call it karma, and instead of (y) I would call it yoga, and what if I changed the symbols of the equations, so instead of (+) I would call it union, and instead of (-) I would call it paradox….. Will anything change in the mathematical equation?
Not just mathematical symbols and unknowns that can take any name in any language.
The symbol (S) in the equation can be called Karma in the Hindi language, or we can call it Al-Masjid Al Haram in Arabic, or we can call it House in English.
Would it make any difference if I said…..that the union of karma and yoga brings a person to unity?
No… just a mathematical equation, converted into a verbal form in a logical manner.
We can also say that the union of Al-Masjid Al Haram and Al-Aqsa Mosque is access to Allah.
– What if I changed the names of the unknowns of the mathematical equation, so instead of (S) I would call it the book or knowledge, and instead of (S) I would call it the Qur’an or science, and what if I changed the symbols of the equations, so instead of (+) I would call meeting, and instead of (-) I would call it exit. ….Will anything change in the mathematical equation?
No….just mathematical symbols and unknowns that can take any name and in any language……The symbol (S) in the equation can be called the book or its name is knowledge in the Arabic language, or we can call it a book in the English language.
Would it make any difference if I said…that books and reading lead a person to the truth?
It is not just a mathematical equation, and it has been transformed into a verbal formula in a logical manner….. We can also say that the union of knowledge and contemplation is the attainment of Allah.
And this is the true origin of all these philosophies, which are logical mathematical equations that contain unknowns, but those unknowns were made into the mathematical equations and have names with spiritual and symbolic dimensions that contradict reality. Then those mathematical equations were formulated in a logical verbal form, and they were made into religions for societies that live. With those philosophies, you have the pleasure of solving those mathematical problems, and you believe that this is the truth and that pleasure is the meaning of religion.
This, in short, is the approach of spiritual and symbolic philosophies that were designed to create religions on earth, and which our enlightenment thought adopts in its understanding of the Qur’an.
What is the relationship between philosophy and religions?
The truth is… there is an entity on earth that is behind the establishment of those philosophies and religions, and this entity would not have been able to establish those philosophies and religions until after the peoples lost the first words on earth.
So he composed mathematical equations filled with mathematical symbols bearing unrealistic names, then he formulated them with words and made his words into religions on earth.
People’s religion moved from the realistic dimension to the moral and symbolic dimension. People believed that such words represented real meanings in existence, and they believed that religion was those philosophies, while in those philosophies people only solve logical equations that contain mathematical equations that carry names of unrealistic meanings, and all a person does is solve those. Equations, and when he feels astonished by the mathematical solution, he believes that this is the truth and the meaning of religion, and he does not know that he is solving mathematical equations and calculations that contain unknown symbols (x, y, z), and those unknown symbols have been hidden from him under names Words such as yoga, karma, ego, etc., and these equations were hidden from him after converting them into logical verbal formulas.
Thus, these philosophies were able to remove people from reality and transfer them to abstract, virtual worlds, within which they could enjoy solving logical mathematical equations.
How did people lose the first words on Earth, and what does this have to do with those philosophies?
If you look at the previous general result that we arrived at, you will know the reason, when you realize that the true beginning of the Sufi and symbolic philosophies came from Christian philosophy, which deceived man and concealed from him the first word on earth.
Thus, the word moved from the divine state to the human state, and the words of the Qur’an became historical human.
When it transitioned from its divine state to the human state, man lost the original meaning and began inventing new words in order to explain the world, causing him to become lost.
Or he became like our enlighteners, trying to give the words of Allah in the Qur’an a dimension separate from reality, after a global entity transferred them from the divine state to the purely human state, as an attempt to return them to their dimension separate from the human, and this is the essence of enlightenment thought.
Because the necessary question that was not asked… How did human language arise?
The real answer to this question………..is the real reason for which the first word of Allah was hidden on earth by a global entity, and then he composed all those philosophies, and the Mu’tazili heritage was also composed about the incident of the creation of the Qur’an. This is the heritage that was able to transfer the fact that the language of the first man on earth was from a divine source to a human source, and made him not realize that language was not invented by humans, and that the first man did not invent a language and did not learn it from animals as a result of an evolutionary process according to Darwin’s theory.
{And He taught Adam all the names}
And for this reason……….this entity wrote all this philosophical heritage (Christian philosophy, Greek philosophy, and Sufi philosophy) in order to keep people away from understanding the origin of the story on earth.
Yes………the first words on earth, which will bring people out of this wandering, after the West was able to hide the word of Allah (Issa), which was recorded in the first book on earth, located in the first place where the first man appeared. Instead, he invented a story about a person named (Jesus).
{And We gave Musa the Book after We had destroyed the first generations, as insight for mankind and guidance and mercy so that they might remember.}
{And We gave Musa the Book, but they disagreed about it, and had it not been for a word that had preceded from Your Allah, it would have been decided between them, and they are in doubt about it, doubtful.}
And the Al-Yahoud said, “The Al-Nasarah are not based on anything,” and the Al-Nasarah said, “The Al-Yahoud are not based on anything,” and they recite the Book. Likewise, those who do not know say the same thing as their saying. “For Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding what they differed about.”
