The real absolute being

Q: What is the true nature of the material world according to Islamic philosophy?

The material world is not a solid, independent reality but exists as a sphere of senses and illusions. Every object, person, and plant perceived is a collection of sensations created by Allah, who holds the universe in existence at every moment.

Q: Why is Allah described as the only absolute being?

Allah is the only absolute being because He possesses eternal power and infinite knowledge. All other beings are shadow entities, meaning their existence is entirely dependent upon His will, whereas Allah exists independently and sustains all things.

Q: What does it mean that Allah is nearer to man than his jugular vein?

This concept illustrates that Allah is closer to the human soul than any external thing, as He is the Creator who continuously forms every perception. Since Allah creates all images and sensations, He is always present, encompassing everything at every moment.

Q: How does the perception of the world change at the time of death?

Death occurs when Allah ceases the sensations and images of this worldly dimension and initiates perceptions of a different realm. This transition demonstrates that life in every dimension is dependent upon the specific perceptions Allah grants.
