The Tawaf of Creation

Everything moves around its center, while at the same time moving around itself. This is the dance and the natural worship of creation. I believe the Arabic term for this movement is 'Tawaf'. The way we Muslims do around the Ka'abah. And so the English term for this should be 'Circumambulation'.

In Surah Yaaseen Ayat 40, the Qur'an says:

"Each flows in its own orbit."

In the atomic level, these movements of entire creation are exactly the same as electrons rotating around its nucleus.

When we talk about atoms, we really cannot help but talk about Quarks. This is called the Sub-atomic level. Electrons in this level behave either wave or particle. It could no longer be described as solid. It's an empty space after an empty space. It has no reality except in perception. The Qur'an says it clearer in Suratur Rahmaan ayat 26-27:

"All that is on earth will perish," "But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour."

In the sub-atomic level, quarks are found inside the protons and neutrons. Each of this has 3 quarks. There's this theory called the String Theory suggesting that electrons and quarks are tiny loops of vibrating string. This string is what connects atoms together. Therefore it is what is holding everything together. If we may follow up this String Theory with Qur'anic idea, we find that it commanded us to "hold together the Rope of Allah".  (Qur’an 3:103)

String or rope in this sense is what gives us the realization of truth. Outside of this Rope of Allah, we are lost. Outside this rope, there is no existence. And within this rope, there is only one reality.

This one reality is what gives creation its true face. It is the beauty behind everything. The Qur'an describes it as:

"To Allah belong the east and the West: Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading, all-Knowing." (Qur'an 2:115)

The remaining question here would be "Who am I" and not "What am I".

But my father advised me to take no answer except what is given by the Prophet (s.a.w) who calls himself "Abdullah" in its truest sense.

Allah knows best.
