The Narratives – Mohamed Miah

Mohamed Miah – The Narratives

The Illusion of Knowledge

We live in an age where machines stare into the abyss of space, where men in white coats tap away at supercomputers, trying desperately to capture the secrets of existence. They call it science. They call it progress. They call it knowledge. But the deeper they stare, the more they run into something they cannot name. A wall that will not move. A curtain that refuses to part. The veil.

They won’t call it that, of course. They give it scientific names to comfort themselves — the cosmic horizon, dark energy, dark matter. All placeholders for gaps in their understanding. Each new telescope, each new theory, each new formula only seems to reveal more missing pieces. The more they think they’ve unlocked, the more obvious it becomes how little they truly see. They observe fragments, shadows, delayed messengers of light, but they are blind to the true essence of what exists behind that veil.

The Lie of “Looking Into The Past”

They believe they are looking into the past. They say that when they peer billions of light years into space, they are witnessing the birth of stars long gone, that they are time-travelling by capturing light that began its journey millions of years ago. But this is only a trick of their limited perception. Light travels. Information travels. But reality is not trapped in the arrival of photons. When I stand in front of my lightbulb, I see the photons that left it nanoseconds ago. I am not looking into its past; I am experiencing its reality now. Moving closer or further changes nothing except my position. I am not rewinding or fast-forwarding time. I am simply here, now, as it exists before me.

Science Measures Echoes.

Science deals in signals. But signals are not the event. They are echoes. Allah sees the essence. The atom, the black hole, the collapse, the end, the becoming — all of it is instantly present before Him. There is no waiting for information to arrive. No dependence on light to expose what He already sustains. But modern science, arrogant in its measurements, stares endlessly at the painting while refusing to acknowledge the Painter.

The Black Hole Theory They Fear

Some physicists now suggest we may even be living inside a black hole, that the expanding universe behaves like a bubble contained by an event horizon. They watch gravitational waves ripple, they see energy behaving in ways they cannot explain, and they speak carefully of strange possibilities. But they dare not take the final step, the one that would shatter their entire framework — that there is something beyond their vision, beyond their tools, beyond their mathematics.

Outside this hole could exist heaven and hell, or worlds within worlds stacked like invisible layers beyond their reach. The veils of Allah are not simple distances. They are layers of reality, dimensions of existence, realms of the unseen. Jannah and Jahannam already exist. They are not myths. They are not concepts. They are real. And they are closer to us than we imagine. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Paradise is closer to you than your shoelace, and so is the Hellfire.” We are not separated by light years. We are separated by permission. By His decision to conceal. And one day, that concealment will be lifted.

Dark Matter The 85% Blind Spot

Even the matter they can see leaves them confused. They openly admit that over 85% of the mass of the universe is “missing.” They cannot detect it, cannot see it, cannot touch it, but they feel its gravitational pull. They call it dark matter because they have no explanation. But perhaps it is not missing. Perhaps it is simply veiled. Perhaps Allah has simply placed it beyond their senses, beyond their equations, beyond their permissions.

The Qur’an already told us: “And none encompass His knowledge except as He wills.” But they are too proud to hear.

They See The Smoke, Not The Spark

Then comes the Big Bang — their great attempt to explain the beginning. They claim the universe exploded from nothing, that gases condensed into stars, that time and space were born in an instant of raw heat. But they miss what truly happened. They observe the smoke after the fire and think they have explained the spark. What they call the Big Bang is nothing more than science witnessing the aftershock of Kun Fayakun. His command – Be. And it was.

Everything Is Already Speaking

Everything around us is speaking, remembering, bearing witness. The trees glorify. The stones praise. The animals are aware. The atoms are in dhikr. But we are deaf to their voices. The Qur’an says: “There is not a thing except that it glorifies Him, but you do not understand their glorification.” This is not science fiction. This is not imagination. This is truth.

On the Day when the veil is lifted, we will hear the voices that were always present. The earth will speak. The skins will testify. The universe will declare what it always knew. The whole of creation is always in conversation with its Creator. Only we are veiled from it.

Science Without Faith Is Blindness

“Science, theology, and philosophy all go hand in hand. The one which cannot go to the next level, the other carries it forward.”

The old Muslim scholars knew this. Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Al-Haytham — they saw no conflict between physics, philosophy, and faith. They understood that when science reaches its limits, philosophy expands the mind. When philosophy collapses under its own speculation, faith lifts the soul to truth. They knew that ilm, hikmah, and iman were not divided paths, but branches of the same tree rooted in Tawheed.

But modern scientists severed the roots. They amputated science from faith. And now they stand at the edge of their knowledge, helpless, seeing things they cannot explain, reaching walls they cannot cross, because they have forgotten to look up.

The Simple Truth

The truth they fear to face is simple. Allah was here before any galaxy, before any atom, before any light, before any life. He was, is, and always will be. “He is The First and The Last, The Manifest and The Hidden, and He is All-Knowing of everything.” Before time itself existed, Allah existed. Before creation was written, He was the One holding the pen. Time itself is His servant. “Do not curse Time, for I am Time.” The very fabric they try to study is nothing but a thread in His Hand.

What they call the horizon of observation is not a scientific limit — it is His veil. It will stay until He lifts it.
