The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the OIC Gambia who is also a season Diplomat with many years of experience both Security, International Relations and Humanity continues to share his opinions and ideas, Sunurew Online will be publishing his articles.
In his writeup today, he focused on the Science and our Understanding of creation where causality remains a concept imposed on Human Mind, here goes....
Do we even care when it comes to what we swallow at School? Most of what we consume as words, formulae, structures and meanings are unilaterally imposed on us by linguistics derived from cultures that are usually brewed in different environments. Difference is beautiful but not when it tethers us with the ropes assimilation! Don't you think so? For those of us who don't only think so but know so, let's proceed along this vein for obvious reasons. Science or any school of thought for that matter, must not be accepted as a "culture" defined between one civilisation of a given sector of humanity and what they keep on diagnosing with a dominant age of aces, devices and robots. Or being what their own minds created in "a chronic cult - like hegemony of academia".
Isn't it time for them to genuinely learn about minds not within their immediate reach?! For so many centuries Africa in particular and Islam as a faith have been columnized as "frozen taboos" for what ever reason there maybe in those minds that are soaked in prejudice or a judgmental mindset! Even great philosophers we are so proud of quoting have always reserved a dark and murky spot as far as the way we think and do things yet the cradle of civilisation is indeed Africa!
What humanity produces should remain a support base for what we collectively do or how we live but should not be allowed to highjack our beliefs and values. Which inanimate products like robots don't have! Science without faith is incomplete as faith is the refinery of conscience. Why put faith and Africa on one pedestal herein? It is because many blame its(Africa's) retrogress on faith yet that is far from the truth! It is therefore what urged our minds to rush to the jars of critical thinking to quench the thirst of reason, logic and fact in defense of faith. We are doing so with discipline and faith to be able to free those minds from being recipients of theories designed by a "hybrid- type" of a learning process.
At this juncture, in order for us to be able to find the knot that binds faith and emancipation, we cannot escape diving deeper and deeper into the seas of critical thinking. We will therefore reflect on what has been imposed on our minds from those who have over the centuries been debating on causes and effects within "causality".
As far as activities between celestial culture and or what obtains in cosmos or between galaxies versus our existence, there is still so much left to be understood. Hence the reason why words like "imagination is sweeter than knowledge" courtesy of Albert Einstein should always remain a palatable dish for research, thought and discovery.
As a matter of fact entertaining such a thought would lead one to being a guest of extra sensory perception and "succulent" common sense. Further down the line it will lead one to accomodating and giving allowance for anything else that's different from the norms that urge us to adapt to the teachings of a rather dominating culture. What is mutual and reciprocal must be part of the calculus if decency is to remain the bridge.
The ability to refuse unilaterally imposed doctrines that are most of the time derived from hegemony or cultural imperialism is one healthy way of refusing to be an "adapter" to everything one reads or hears. Particularly those of us who never question the established rules of academia within the framework of syllabuses and curricular. Especially those designed by systems that derive their meaning from metamorphosed structures or stratified layers of arrogant philosophers, anthropologists, scientists, explorers and researchers .
One's mind will then spring from there to understand messages or signals of transcending forces from what is divine to what is visible. Which we call creation and the created.
Halt and accept the fact that there is without any doubt a DIMENSIONLESS SINGULARITY around all this. Our creator must be recognized as that dimensionless singularity before diagnosing what is creation and the created. Isn't it why Islam teaches us this. Allah says know me before you worship me! Knowledge limitless therefore no doubt its the only way to follow if one wants to consume lessons from what is hidden and infinite.
Causality if defined only by a human mind that is so eager to detach itself from the unseen, may end up being a miscarriage of thought. Or infertile because minds are not immune from being impregnated by a barren idea or barren ideas within the context of faith.
What is sense saying here? It is saying separation is not the answer. The answer is understanding your ways and the ways of others from all sides and all angles.
Now why not we engage our minds with the following quiz?! How to understand creation? When understood, hop to the next step by asking ourselves more questions!
What is creation?
From the context of intelligence in faith we can easily dissect our inner-side more. What does sense understand when flanked by faith? Sense says this. Anyone who wants to understand the power that contains every thing else within the sphere of a dimensionless singularity, has to get set for a journey not a destination. What is being discussed herein does not end. It is infinite. Now who are we within creation or how did it begin? We are here as guests of time, matter and space. We have been moved from non existence to existence then moved back to non existence after expiration in existence.
Best project we can use to explain the equation from non existence to existence then back to non existence is creation or scale it down to the human being. Anyone or anything created must begin and must end. Most of it can be understood by remembering that we did not know where we were before being caught within the reflective consciousness of our own existence to being moved back to non existence. Which therefore means existence can be measured whereas non existence cannot be measured.
Doesn't that justify the unique absolute existence of the creator? Indeed it does!
Who is being described as that dimensionless singularity? Why not you try reading and understand Suratul Ikhlass in the Quran? Where there is unique absolute existence means the ONE referenced therein is a creator and anything else or anyone else is creation. At this juncture let's reflect on what some philosophers brought in the middle of the circle centuries ago, calling it causality.
Causality or what ever other theory they have been pedaling with what is metaphysical in their minds, is a weapon of what is brutal in reason, rationality and perception not fact. Fact within the context of science is always not fact within the context of faith. It is where most of those using archaic scientific formulars that are too rigid and mathematically dominating or condescending do face challenges. No one sees the mind yet we all believe it is there and use it all the time. What connects us with the mind is what connects us with faith within that dimensionless singularity.
Here we will quote: "Causality is an alien idea arbitrarily imposed on human mind to avoid impossibility of infinite regress" Professor Dr Omar Jah Senior's own words.
Note: We are on a mission with the aim of unearthing(within our limits) what is hidden in the dimensionless singularity of our own creator. With that we will end up refuting and refusing being captives of cultural imperialism and identity crisis where the only and best identity we could have been walking around with should be fact in faith. What is fact in faith?
It is the invisible compass inside us that has succeeded in guiding billions of to understand why we are here on earth. It is the fact of discipline in unity and progress.
If we were to stop only on what is material by definition means development is not fully understood.
However, where it is matched with spirituality in the decency of faith development is complete. Faith does not retard development, it accelerates it as the desire to rise remains internal and divine in the faithful. No more blames on faith for the retardation of Africa in particular!
