GOD,ZERO AND INFINITY
In the name of Allah, The Beneficent,
The Merciful
Aristotle, the father of all sciences, was a staunch enemy of
‘zero.’ Though he was a believer in God, he believed that nothing can be
created from nothing. Aristotle used to preach that vacuum is not found in
nature because nature hates void (zero). Now we know that Aristotle was totally
wrong as vacuum occurs in nature. Space is a large vacuum.In-fact, a major part
of universe is vacuum. Galaxies and stars are but like oasis in the desert of
infinite vacuum. As Aristotle was against void (zero) nobody dared to propose
the dangerous idea of zero. Going against Aristotle was going against religion.
The Greeks and the Romans were prevented to discover zero owing to the
domination Aristotle had on peoples mind for two thousand years.Galileo was
the first person to prove Aristotle wrong; in his leaning tower of Pisa experiment.
To this day roman numbers lack a zero, thanks to Aristotle.
Zero does not
represent nothing, it actually represents the unexplainable. In the world of
language, different combinations of different alphabets are used to represent
the all encompassing personality of God; Allah, Rahman, God, Elohi, Eshwar
etc.In the world of mathematics, the symbol ‘0-zero’ and Infinity represent God.
But the fact is , very few people actually know that.If we analyse some of the properties
of zero and infinity it will become obvious that they represent God.
Properties of Zero
When you think you are zero , you become one
with the divine.
When zero is multiplied with any number you will always get a
zero. Zero sucks all the numbers and nullifies them. All the numbers vanish in zero.
Each number represents a thing. It means there is an entity which is capable of
nullifying all the things, including the galaxies and black holes. That
powerful entity which is capable of vanishing the whole universe is God which
is represented as zero in mathematics.
All that lives on
earth or in the heavens is bound to perish.
Wayabqa wajhu
rabbika thoo aljalali waalikrami
55:27: But will remain
(for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour.”
When a zero comes on the left side of a number, it remains
the same; means it does not increase in value. But when zero comes on the right
side of the number its value is increased. This simply means that if we don’t
give importance to God and keep Him on the left side (left represents less or
negative) in our lives, we shall never progress. But if we give him proper
place in our lives and keep him on the right side we progress and increase in
value. The more you follow the commandments of God, the more zeros you are
putting on your right side and vice-versa.
THE PARABLE of
those who spend their possessions for the sake of God is that of a grain out of
which grow seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains: for God grants manifold
increase unto whom He wills; and God is infinite, all-knowing.”
1/0 is infinity
If we divide any number by zero, we get infinity. What does
that means? Well, it means if we share our deeds with God they become
infinitely big. If you just give coin purely for the sake of God, it carries
infinitely large reward. Dividing is sharing. Hence, the best thing is to live
our lives for the sake of God which makes you deserving of an infinite life in
the paradise of infinity.
Quran:16: 97: “Whoever does good, whether male or female, and
is a believer, We shall certainly make him live a good life, and We shall
certainly give them their reward for the best of what they did.”
Infinity
Infinity also represents God. Nothing
can limit God. His existence has no end and His creative power also does not
have any limitations. He can keep on creating the universes for an infinite period
of time. He is far from us as well as close to us than our jugular vein.
In one of his prayer the Holy Prophet
said; “O’ Thou, who is far as well as near (Ya Baeedo ya Qareeb).” The word
‘far’ represents infinity and the word ‘near’ represents zero.
Quran:50:16: “And We have already
created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him
than [his] jugular vein.”
Zero and infinity represents the contradictory
dual aspects of God. He is Rahman as well as Jabbar, He is loves as well as punishes, He give as well
as takes, He is humble as well as extremely arrogant, He gives life as well as
causes death, He makes the night as well as the day.
Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all
things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other)
things of which they have no knowledge.”
His creation also shows dual nature; a kind of
His signature. Electron is both wave and a particle. Light is made of
electricity and magnetism, DNA is made of two complimentary strands, the
phenomena of matter and anti-matter, male and the female, good and the bad,
truth and falsehood etc.
"If
the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is,
infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow
chinks of his cavern." -- William Blake
