In the name of Allah,
The Beneficent, The Merciful.
The Shadow in Quran and
Physics
"Between the idea and the reality,
between the motion and the act,
falls the shadow,for thine is the kingdom."
Ash-wednesday-TS.Eliot
Shadow is formed when a part of
light, falling on an object, is reflected back. There can be no shadow without
light. When you are in utter darkness there will be no shadow of yours. The
anaerobic bacteria living in your gut do not have any shadow as there is no
light in the gut. But, the Holy Quran says,
“Have they not observed things which
Allah have created: their shadow incline to the right and left, making
prostration to Allah, and they are loyal (humble).”
Surah:Nahl:Verses-48
The above verses of the Holy Quran
is telling us that everything which is created by God has a shadow which has
nothing to do with sun light or light and carries an independent existence. The
shadow moves, prays and has its own life. Each blood cell of ours has a shadow,
though there is no light reaching our blood. From the smallest particle (higs
bosons,quarks,etc) to the biggest stars and galaxies , all have shadow. All
these shadows together are formed into a universe which, in modern terminology,
is termed as “The parallel universe.”
Fig. Our shadows exist in parallel
universe as our double living a very different life. Our doubles are obedient
to God and never do evil. They live a life in total obedience to God.
Michio Kaku,the leading physicist ,
in his book,’hyperspace’, writes,
“The starting point of quantum
theory, we recall, is wave function that describes all the various possible
states of a particle.For example, imagine a large, irregular thundercloud that
fills up the sky.The darker the thundercloud, the greater the concentration of
water vapor and dust at that point.Thus by simply looking at a thundercloud, we
can rapidly estimate the probability of finding large concentrations of water
and dust in certain parts of the sky. The thundercloud may be compared to a
single electron’s wave function. Like a thundercloud, it fills up all space. Likewise, the greater its value at
a point, the greater the probability of finding the electron there. Similarly,
wave function can be associated with large objects, like people. As I sit in my
chair in Princeton, I know that I have a Schrödinger probability wave function.
If I could somehow see my own wave function, it would resemble a cloud very
much in the shape of my body. However, some of the cloud would spread out over
all space, out to Mars and even beyond the solar system, although it would be
vanishingly small there. This means that there is a very large likelihood that
I am, in fact, sitting in my chair and not on the planet Mars. Although part of
my wave function has spread even beyond the Milky Way galaxy, there is only an
infinitesimal chance that I am sitting in another galaxy.”

WAVE FUNCTION:
In physics, the shadow of everything
is called ‘wave function.’The term wave function came into existence with the
discovery of dual nature of electron by de Broglie in 1924.De Broglie proved
that electron is both a wave as well as a particle. The wave aspect of the
electron was called the ‘wave function.’ De Broglie went on to prove that all
things have wave function (shadow) which is given by the formula,
λ =
h/mv
‘λ’ is wave function or matter wave, ‘h’ is the Planck
constant, ‘m’ is the mass and ‘v’ is the
velocity.
Fig.
We can reach a parallel universe through worm-holes which are cousins to the
black holes.
The size of wave function is inversely related to the product of mass and velocity of an object or particle.Light has undefined wave function or shadow because it lacks
mass.Anything divided by zero is undefined.God has no mass and no velocity hence He is undefined.
Machio Kaku ,the famous physicist, in his book ‘Hyperspace’
writes,
“This type of parallel world was explored by John
Wyndham in the story “Random Quest.” Colin Trafford, a British nuclear
physicist, is almost killed in 1954 when a nuclear experiment blows up. Instead
of winding up in the hospital, he wakes up, alone and unhurt, in a remote part
of London. He is relieved that everything appears normal, but soon discovers
that something is very wrong. The newspaper headlines are all impossible. World
War II never took place. The atomic bomb was never discovered. Furthermore, he
glances at a store shelf and notices his own name, with his picture, as author
of a bestselling book. He is shocked. An exact counterpart of himself exists in
this parallel world as author instead of a nuclear physicist!”
Hyperspace by Machio Kaku-page-265
The whole of the scientific
community was reluctant to accept the concept of matter waves or wave function
until their existence was proved in particle physics. The world of wave
functions or shadows is called a parallel universe.
The Holy Quran further says,
“The description of paradise which
the pious have been promised: Underneath it rivers flow, it’s provision is
eternal and so it’s shadow (zil); this is the end of the pious, and the end of
disbelievers is fire.”
Surah:Rad:Verse-35
According to the above verses, even
the eternal paradise has a shadow (wave function),this means wave function is a
universal and eternal phenomena.
“And to Allah falls in prostration
(sajda) whosoever is in the heaven and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and
do their shadow in the morning and evening.”
Quran :13:15
It has been narrated from Imam
Abu Ja’far (as) regarding the above verses that he said:
“As for the ones from the
inhabitants of the skies, who prostrate willingly, are the angels who are
prostrating to Allah willingly. And as for the ones from the inhabitants of the
earth who prostrate willingly, so it is the one who was born in Islam
prostrates to Him willingly. And as for the one who prostrates to Him
unwillingly, so it is the one who was forced into Islam. As for the one who
does not prostrate, his shadow prostrates for him by the morning and the
evening.”
Tafsir-e-Qummi: Vol-1: Page-362
Explaining the above verses, the
Holy Prophet (saw) said:
“AL-KAAFIR YASJUD GAIR-ALLAH WA
ZALAHA YASJUD-ALLAH –AL-JASMA
An infidel (kaafir) prostrates
(yasjud) before idols, but his shadow prostrates itself before God.”
Tafsir-e-Kabeer
The above hadith makes it very clear
that the shadow of the one who does not prostrates to God, does prostration independently.
It is independent in its behavior. Generally, our shadow which is formed from
sunlight does what we do. It does not have an independent existence. The shadow
which behaves independently, as mentioned in the above hadith, is not the
shadow formed by the sunlight. The shadow in question clearly refers to the
wave functions.
Quran:4:57: " And those who believe and do good deeds We will admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow,therein to abide for ever; therein shall be for them mates pure and We will make them to enter dense shadows."
What is this shadow which is the reward for believers in paradise? the holy Prophet (saw) said, " Ali is the shadow of God on earth." The Holy Prophet (saw) also said, " Loving Ali is faith." As all believers are lovers of Ali (as) it is very logical that they will be allowed to meet Imam Ali (as), who is the object of their faith and love, in paradise as well.
The Holy Quran says : “ All the praises are due to Allah, the Lord of the universes.” Quran:1:1
According to the above verses of the
Holy Quran, there are many universes. The concept of wave function or shadow
gives us an idea about the parallel universe. But there are many other
universes about which we do not have even a weak idea. It is reported by Abu Saeed
Al-Khudri that the Holy Prophet (saw) said:
“Allah has created forty thousand worlds, and
the earth and all the creatures on it are only one of those worlds.” Tafsir Ibn
Katheer
This material world with all its stars,
galaxies and black holes is one of the forty thousand worlds, then we have the
anti-matter world, the world of wave functions (shadows), world with 5th
dimension, world with 6th dimension, the world of angels, the world
of Jinns, the world of spirits etc.
ALL THE PRAISES ARE DUE GOD, THE
SUSTAINER OF THE UNIVERSES.
