What Is Absolute Reality?
Please also see: Discussion 6805
@faisalharoon I didnt understand what is contradictory about absolute reality. Absolute reality means reality which is independent of time and space philosophiclly speaking. I respecfully disagree that our primary source of knowledge can lead to absolute reality. Since we are bound by these parameters so how can we go beyond it. Just for example, in our world, nothing can move faster than speed of light but its different in cosmos. Established history also donot come without controversies. Eg Parting of river nile, jesus crucifiction and many other examples. These are some examples of limitation of science, observation, established history.
Faisal, it may be slightly different translation. Here are those verses. Still I think if life is temporary, everything else can’t be real. Real from human perspective is a faulty conclusion. If someone controlled our 5 senses, we can be convinced of any reality. Even some dreams feel like absolute reality. The only reality can be from the persoective eternal being and all knowing and that is Allah. [3:185] Every person tastes death, then you receive your recompense on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever misses Hell, barely, and makes it to Paradise, has attained a great triumph. The life of this world is no more than an illusion. [6:32] The life of this world is no more than illusion and vanity, while the abode of the Hereafter is far better for the righteous. Do you not understand?! [29:64] This worldly life is no more than vanity and play, while the abode of the Hereafter is the real life, if they only knew. [35:5] O people, GOD’s promise is the truth; therefore, do not be distracted by this lowly life. Do not be diverted from GOD by mere illusions. [40:39] “O my people, this first life is a temporary illusion, while the Hereafter is the eternal abode.” [75:5] But the human being tends to believe only what he sees in front of him.
