Levels of the Heart and Black Holes

Question: What is the reality of black holes in islam and how does it relate to the levels of the heart?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the reality of black holes in Islam is deeply intertwined with the spiritual levels of the heart. The concept of black holes in Islam can be understood through the lens of the heart’s spiritual journey.

In Islamic spirituality, the levels of the heart, known as Qalb (Heart), Sir (Secret), Sirr e Sir (Secret of the Secret), Khafa (Hidden), and Akhfa (Most Hidden), are interconnected with the stages of daily prayers (Salah). The spiritual journey of the heart mirrors the passage of time and the transitions between life and death in each day.

The Fajr (morning prayer) is associated with the Akhfa (Most Hidden) station of the heart, which is likened to a state of death. This prayer is significant as it symbolizes the birth canal of the day, signifying a transition from darkness to light. The spiritual significance of the Fajr prayer aligns with the concept of black holes, representing a state of transition and transformation.

Furthermore, the spiritual teachings emphasize that the heart of a perfect Saint of God holds secret and silent knowledge, much like the event horizon of a black hole, where external observers cannot detect any information. This reflects the profound and hidden knowledge contained within the heart of a spiritual guide.

Moreover, the interconnectedness of the heart’s stations and the concept of black holes is also reflected in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, where he mentioned the pouring of knowledge from his heart into the heart of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (RA). This signifies the transmission of spiritual knowledge and light between different stations of the heart, akin to the connection between different realities in the concept of black holes and white holes.

In summary, the reality of black holes in Islam is intricately linked to the spiritual levels of the heart, representing transitions, hidden knowledge, and interconnectedness. The spiritual journey through the heart’s stations mirrors the cosmic phenomena of black holes, signifying the profound depth and transformative nature of the spiritual path.
