We have to find Him (God) through our hearts!

The term Basit ul-Haghighah* which refers to Allah is one of the most controversial subjects among philosophers, sages and gnostics. Philosophers have defined the phrase Basit ul-Haghighah* as the principle of being, scholars have defined it as the principle of creation and its order, and gnostics have described the phrase Basit ul-Haghighah* as meaningful but incomprehensible.

Yes, what is understood from the term Basit ul-Haghighah* is “He is Allah”, whatever exists is from Him and not separate from Him, i.e. from Allah.

Man has no more ability to further talk about this issue. The scientific description of this subject (Basit ul-Haghighah*) requires around fifty pages of philosophical text.

But the explanation of the subject:

First a research on the beliefs of the Greeks:

It is clear to us that however much the Greeks tried to reveal the meaning of Basit ul-Haghighah*, as the power of insight in their religious beliefs was meagre, they were misguided.

In other words, the Greeks, before going towards the reality of the one and only God, travelled in other paths. In ancient Greece, each family had a special god and would light fire in the name of their god. This ceremony was one of the most fundamental rituals in houses. This ceremony was conducted in front of a holy fire in a family. Each clan, tribe and family had their own special gods and they would consult with their special god, before taking actions particularly before conducting crucial works, and would in their own belief ask for help from their gods’ knowledge of the hidden! The Greeks, in their own imagination, had a symbol god for each of the worldly and celestial forces and for pleasures and displeasures.

It should be mentioned that some Greek philosophers did a lot of research in philosophy but ended up creating new gods for themselves up to the end of the era of Hellenism.

They too, in the name of doing research on monotheism were misguided. And they were not able to find a path towards monotheism which was based on a sound mind and the Quranic logic and the narrations of the innocent Imams and the heart of the statements by true gnostics.

Some intellectuals such as Hericlitus had other viewpoints. Anyway, five centuries after Pluto, around 200 A.D. they realized superstitions were still alive. In order to avoid superstition (which according to monotheism is considered as blasphemy and antagonism), they resorted to the issue of “energy” meaning they interpreted God as “energy” and made the following statement:

Why is God not energy?! (We are not sure whether or not this belief still exists in Greece.)

Reply by researcher and philosopher, professor Mosavi:

The word “energy” has French origin. “Energy” means power, force and strength. The concept of “energy” is one of the most fundamental concepts in physics, but defining it exactly is difficult.

It was mentioned in a source we found: We use the term energy, but do not comprehend the meaning of energy, the same way that we use the term God but do not understand the meaning of God. Therefore, God is the same as energy!      

But we say: No. This is not true. We will now try to help you visualize energy:

A battery is inserted; the clock’s hand starts moving. What causes the clock’s hand to move is called “energy”.

 A clock is wound, energy is generated. Or a container with electricity load generates energy, if the load does not exist, energy will not be generated.

Therefore, energy does exist in the world. Man too is able to provide a visualization of energy.

Thus it is clear to every researcher that Basit ul-Haghighah* does not rotate around the concept of energy.

For instance there is a law which says:

Whenever work is done on an object, an amount equivalent to the work is added to the energy of the object on which work is done, and any object which does some work, an equivalent amount will be reduced from the object’s energy; i.e. the doer’s energy is reduced and the energy of the object on which the work is done doubles.

And the main issue is here: If energy is original and genuine, it should not become less or more. No change occurs in Basit ul-Haghighah*, therefore, Allah is not energy.

On the other hand, regarding the source of the energy of the sun, a few opinions have been suggested. Some astronomers have researched on the issue of energy in the world and have suggested that the energy of the sun is from the stars.

But the person who created balance between energy and material was Einstein who says:

If one kg of material is fully transformed into energy, 25 billion kilowatt hours of electricity is generated.

After taking into consideration all the above issues, we come to the following conclusion:

Energy in the world can neither be Basit ul-Haghighah* nor like Basit ul-Haghighah * as it is generated from another source and is entire need. But Basit ul-Haghighah* is filled with affluence and wealth. Basit ul-Haghighah* is itself and is not influenced or affected from another element!

From all what is explained above, it becomes evident that:

All efforts made by philosophers who believe in the one and only God and their researches on the issue of monotheism - for the understanding of which some philosophers say we should get to know singleness from singleness and some say we should get to know singleness from multitude¨- which is sometimes interpreted as immaterial and original, at times as the reality and sometimes as Basit ul-Haghighah* caused all the superstitions which the Greeks put upon the hearts of people not to be effective. In other words, the efforts made by philosophers who believe in the singleness of God who have benefited from the heart of the Holy Quran and narrations by the innocent Imams, caused the superstitious or semi-superstitious statements of the Greeks to become ineffective. Thus, those superstitions have vanished and the realities persisted and people have finally come to know the reality of the one and only God.
