We can deep dive into the mechanism of how you know but we never do. If you find a box of chocolates on your pillow you know somebody put it there. The fact is, in normal life, people are rational. It’s a red herring that distracts from the real issues. My reason for not using it is that it’s not needed for the practical problems at hand. Instead, the Qur’an tells us what the cause is - and more importantly - what we need to do about it. ![]() I’m not going to pretend this means we are somehow directing sensing the cause or we know what it is. The universe requiring a cause is an attribute of the universe that we can sense in the world around us. Whenever we move the tiniest bit away from the Islamic/Qur’anic/Sensed Reality way of thinking… it opens a can of ugly worms that causes more harm than good. It’s eye-opening to consider what has happened here. ![]() Hawking uses the same infinite regress argument to claim the Quantum Particle is the ultimate cause of the universe. Just as Muslims argue the uncaused cause is Allāh, Christians argue it is God, and now Stephen Hawking argues it is the Quantum Particle. Without revelation, the mind can imagine all sorts. Hence, we are informed that this uncaused cause is Allāh سبحانه و تعالى (Glorified and Exalted). Labelling that “uncaused cause” moves into the realm of the unseen - we just can’t speculate on these things. The rational part of the argument where we can agree with Hawking is based on scrutinising the world around us and concluding that the universe requires an “uncaused cause”. I would also say his labelling of the “uncaused cause” as the “quantum particle” is as speculative and flawed as labelling it as “God”. I would say if you read the above points - you simply replace the words “quantum particle” with the word “God” and it sounds like the same argument. Therefore, he says, it is nonsensical to ask what was “before” the quantum particle as there was no time “before” the quantum particle and therefore there is no concept of “before”. This is what he calls the Quantum Particle or the God Particle. So we have now found a theory of something that is both timeless and non-sentient. The Quantum particle isn’t sentient but it is also so small that the laws of physics no longer apply. As Hawking says he hasn’t seen any evidence of such interference, he concludes the ultimate cause has to be something that isn’t sentient. Hawking argues that if the universe depended on a sentient God then we would surely see miracles and other interference from God. So he explores the idea it is “God” but he uses his Christian-European concept of God to dismiss God. So everything must depend ultimately on something that is independent and therefore timeless. Hawking notices that things depend on other things. So let’s call the starting point the quantum particle. As the universe has super amounts of energy, the starting point would have to super small - the smallest thing we know is the quantum particle. The more compact something is the more energy is produces when it is pulled apart. ![]() The universe is the source of space, time, gravity, physics, etc.īefore the universe, we only had the quantum particle and therefore no laws and no time for which there are many reasons… the huge amounts of energy in the universe had to come from somewhere. Likewise, it’s interesting to note that Stephen Hawking argues that time begins at the moment the quantum particle ceases to be a quantum particle and turns into the universe. I only ever raise it to highlight one angle that dawah carriers take. I don’t endorse the infinite regress argument.
