knowledge. It does not shock or contradict religious knowledge. Astronomy, arithmetic and geometry are sciences that help the religion. Everything in experimental physics, with the exception of a few theories and hypotheses, —which do not conform with the ones that have been experimented and proven— conforms with the religion and consolidates îmân. Of the learnings of metaphysics, the ones that are unsound and corrupt do not conform with the religion. When these sciences are learned, those parts of religious knowledge that conform with mental knowledge and those that cannot be solved through mental knowledge, together with reasons, will come to be known, and it will also be realized that those matters that do not seem to conform with mind and those which mind cannot grasp cannot be denied. – 70 –
JUSTICE At the end of your valuable letter you say, “Doesn’t it seem to be incompatible with justice?” Sir, justice and its antonym, injustice have two definitions each: 1— Justice means to act within the limits of laws and regulations established by someone predominant or a ruler in order to govern a country. And injustice means to go beyond these laws, these limits, this circle. Allâhu ta’âlâ, our owner who created the universes out of nothing, is the ruler of rulers, the true owner and the only creator of everything. He does not have a commander, a ruler or an owner above Him to compel Him to act within some limits, to remain within a circle of rules, or to hold Him liable to some laws. He does not have a vizier, a counsellor or an assistant to warn Him, to guide Him to distinguish good from bad. For this reason, Allâhu ta’âlâ does not have anything to do with this definition of justice. Let alone the fact that the word injustice could not approach Him, it would not be suitable to say that He is just in the sense of this definition. The statement, “He is just,” would remind us of injustice. Referring to Allâhu ta’âlâ, it is not permissible to remember justice, let alone injustice, in accordance with this definition. A Name of Allâhu ta’âlâ’s is al-’Adl (Just). It is certain that He is just. This Name of His, like His other Names, is interpreted; it is adapted to a suitable meaning. That is, what is meant by justice is the purpose of justice. For example, ar- Rahmân and ar-Rahîm are Names of Allâhu ta’âlâ, too. They mean merciful and compassionate. The heart’s being inclined towards something is called rahm. But Allâhu ta’âlâ does not have a heart to be inclined towards any direction. The heart exists in a creature. Then, rahm means the purpose of rahm, that is, it means to bestow favours. And the purpose, the conclusion of the Name ‘Adl’ means He who does favours, He who gives the things that taste sweet to the nafs. Allâhu ta’âlâ does not have to render justice. If He had to administer justice He would not be absolute; that is, He would not have a will. He who does not have a will has to act under compulsion. On the basis of this definition one cannot say, “Such and such a – 71 –
