Summary

Nurun, or "The Light of Thought over Creation," explores the relationship between science, religion, and the cosmos, focusing on God's creation (but not the nature of God). The author aims to offer an insight into the meaning of light and its relationship to space, time and matter, as well as to encourage reflection on God's creation and divine wisdom.

Introducing

The document begins with a reflection on God's power over the universe and the importance of understanding the signs of creation. It is emphasized that meditation on these aspects can lead to a deeper relationship with God's mercy. The Qur'an is a reminder of God's creation of the heavens and the earth.

Content and structure

The document is divided into several books, each dealing with different topics:

• Book 1 - Asr: Explores space and time, including the cosmic vacuum and quantum fluctuations.

• Book 2 - Nurun: Focuses on the meaning of light and its relationship to time and space, as well as the concept of "nur" which unites light, mass and energy.

• Book 3 – Towards the World to Come: Discusses concepts such as the seven earths and the seven heavens, as well as the event of Isra and Mi'raj.

• Book 4 - On the World to Come: Reflects on nothing and Nurun, as well as the relationship between paradise and Eden.

Key concepts

• Nur and Light

Light is defined as a fundamental component of creation. The paper explains how light functions as both a particle and a wave, and its relationship to time.

• Space and Time

Time is described as relative and influenced by speed and gravity, which is illustrated by the paradox of the relativity of twins. This phenomenon shows that time can flow differently depending on the movement of objects.

• Creation and mercy

The author associate’s creation with God's mercy and encourages readers to reflect on their place in the universe and their relationships with God and other people.

• Isra and Mi'raj

The document also explores the events of Isra and Mi'raj, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) travelled from Mecca to Jerusalem and ascended through the seven heavens in one night. The stories show God's power and mercy, which allows for travel beyond the usual time frames.

• Structure of the heaven

The heavens are described as layers of domes, where there are seven heavens and seven earths. The distance between each sky is like a journey of 500 years.

• God's Kursi and Arsh

The Kursi represents God's knowledge and authority, while the Arsh is the highest level of creation. The document explains that heaven and earth are small compared to the Kursi, the Arsh, and the greatness of God.

• Relativity and cosmology

The importance of relativity in relation to time and space is discussed, where the passage of time can vary depending on speed and gravity. The speed of light and the length of time are influenced by different heavens, providing a deeper understanding of the structure of the Universe.

Final thoughts

The document concludes by inviting readers to seek understanding through contemplation and to be aware of the divine wisdom that permeates creation. Every aspect of the universe is connected to God's will, and understanding these connections can lead to a deeper relationship with the divine.
