The
Alems
by Dr. Ismail Ulukus
When look at in point of the human, it is seen that all the creatures created by God (Allah) form two big classes of beings: One is "The Halk Alem" (the haalk aalam), consists of visible beings, and other is "The Emr Alem" (the emr aalam), consists of invisible beings. There are numerous little units in these two big classes. As to the human, he is a different and little world who contains some things belong to both big classes. "The Halk Alem" is also named "The Universe". It is the physical medium that surrounds the human. The most important feature of this class is to be "valuminous" and "timed", consequently, to be "measurable". "Space" and "Time" concepts are concepts that they have emerged after being created "The Halk Alem" or "The Universe". The physical world is a world that consists of "objects", "states" and "phenomenons". To be have three dimensions of the rigit objects and to occupy a volume in the space spontaneously caused developing a "space" concept in minds. Since the objects also takes a place in space, spontaneously, it is been also needed to use some words stating its positions such as "in front of", "behind", "above", "below" for explaining the case of an object according to another. It is also been spontaneously needed to use some qualifying words such as "big", "small", "high", "low", "heavy", "light" for expressing their sizes, because of possessing the different value of an object according to another. When asked the question "How much", it is been also spontaneously needed saying " big such as this", "far-off such as that", inventing a measure for these greatness. For this reason, you see that, this world is an "measurable" world. An other feature of this "objects" world is that, the "cases" and "positions" of all objects always changes more or less, they are not stable. It is also been needed, spontaneously, to talk about "a changing case" namely a "phenomenon" or "event", when a difference appears at the properties such as position, volume, weight, color, taste of these objects. When these events are also be investigated, it is been seen that, some phenomenons develops depend on some former phenomenons, even some phenomenons forms a series by coming into existence following one another, and thus a "determinism" concept has emerged. Also, some repeated events such as rising and setting of the sun caused to develop the "time" concept in minds spontaneously. My precious brother, Why am I explaining these with all details? I am explaining these detailedly for this purpose that, it is difficult for the most of the humans to understand being "spaceless" and "timeless" of Allah. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that "time", "space" and "measure" concepts are characteristic only for "The Halk Alem" or "The Matters World" named "The Universe", and these concepts have emerged after creating The Universe. The second of the classes of the beings created by Allah is named "Emr Alem". It is also said "The Metaphysical Alem" or "The Spirits world". This "Emr Alem" is not "timed" and "spaced" such as to be at "The Halk Alem" or "The Matters world". Consequently, it does not possess also a "measurable" feature. Namely, this Alem is a "timeless" and "spaceless" world and it can not been determined and measured by using the tools and methods belonging to "The Matters world". Certainly, there are own different tools and methods of this world. The components of "the Halk Alem" or "the Matters World" are "objects". Objects are things that they possesses certain properties that can be seen and can be measured by humans. The base of the scientific knowledge depends on determining the features of the objects, the changes of their cases, and the relations one another of these changes named "phenomenon". Whereas, the components of "The Emr Alem" are pleasant and spiritual things such as spirits. They can not be seen by the humans. Their existance, their properties, the miscellaneous features being possessed by them can not be determined by using the establishing ve measuring tools belonging to "The Matters World". The measurement tools belonging to "The Matters World" have been developed only for establishing the matters and their materialistic properties. A lot of men try to determine the existence of "The Metaphysical World" and its features by using the tools belonging to "The Physical World". Of course, they establish no thing. They suppose that there is no thing for they can not establish anything. And then they turn out to be ateist. This is a very foolishly thing like this that one recognizes the existence of ice looking a floe for he can see it, but he denies the existence of vapour for he can't see it in the air. These are the things being at different phases and the knowledges about their existances can obtain only with the different methods. Like this, without doubt, the knowledges belonging to "The Spirituals World" representing a different phase can not be obtained with the knowledge obtaining tools and methods belonging to "The Matters World". As there are some methods to get knowledge for "The Physical World", there are also some ways and methods peculiar to themselves to get knowledges of "The Metaphysical World". The knowledges of "The Spiritual World" is obtained only by using these special methods. But there is the belief at the base of all these methods. It is never been arrived the spiritual realities of the meaning world without the belief. My dear brother, "The Halk Alem" and "The Emr Alem" constitute two different faces of the created realities. In addition, between these two worlds, there is an "imaginary world" as various symbols of materials of both worlds coming out at the human who represents both worlds. This imaginary world is named as "The Misal Alem" (the misaal aalam). The dreams are typical examples from this imaginary world. The Misal Alem is not a realities world. The Misal Alem is a representative world being formed from visions, dreams and imaginations, therein the realities from both world are been represented as sounds or imagines. Just like the imageries of things in mirror... If it is been destined, I'll talk about that, and obtaining the knowledges belonging to the meaning world. GoodBye (If you wish to more benefit from this article, please read our "Understanding the Heart" titled article after this.)
