Hell is a concept that is either feared or hated & denied. An agnostic or an atheist may argue that Humans are not meant for fire even if they ignite fire for others, and a dungeon even if they are severe criminals. Those who can’t think beyond the immediate quickly reject the Lord Almighty as imaginary. Many settle for the deification of those who are deified and others question what exists beyond Lord Almighty. Modern scientific temper keeps many rationalists at bay from Lord Almighty as their scientific temper has a very static view of Lord Almighty as someone in a linear universe (anyway universe is non-linear). Those who can’t digest the presence of Lord Almighty as real point out an endless design (a linear view of time & space). Some say this is a parallel universe among a multiverse design that is endless, then again a linear view of time & space that should rope in the butterfly effect. Although quantum physics confirms the special design of reality, the butterfly effect confirms the uniqueness of our Universe. Even a small change in the size of a single brick can render a building design infeasible and impossible if the size is as big as the universe. So, the parallel universe theory is not wholesome in light of the butterfly effect.

What does the Quran say about the butterfly effect? Quran not only comments on the butterfly/mosquito effect in its own style of rendering information as abstract, albeit gives an explicit sign of a golden ratioed speech that is the Quran. A mosquito (2:26) with its folded beak is as good as the shell of a snail to hint at the organic occurrences of golden ratios & other mathematical designs such as the rows in a corn. Isn’t it phenomenal where a golden ratioed pattern of words matches with reality as abstractly as it can? So what good can happen to a person if the person recites something in a golden ratio or something as loaded sentences of universal truths? A modern rationalist may reject it as a hypothesis alone, albeit Plato & Socrates certainly dedicated their scientific inquiries towards the reality of semantics or the sciences of linguistics that had an after-effect on pragmatics. Isn’t it amazing that the messenger of Lord Almighty in ancient Arabia (Muhammad) knew about golden ratio (2:26), semantics & dialectics among many things such as the Sirius star system (53:49)?

Today many non-Arabs may have a hard time relating to the Lord Almighty as Allah. Due to illogical particularisms, linear fixations & instinctive individualism; Islam is merely understood as a cult by those who don’t know Islam organically. Islam not only addresses one of the greatest questions of human civilization (Does Lord Almighty exist?), a question that has pained & perplexed mathematicians & scientists such as Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant and Stephen Hawking among others, Islam is a gift for humanity as well as Quran & the arab messenger of Lord Almighty (Allah).

Modern understanding of Islam is as good and original as the ancient understanding of Islam. Early Islamic rulers were exceptional individuals, scientists as well as warriors such as Caliph Omer (a great political scientist & a curator of an extraordinary body politic). Islamophobia is a real trend that generates undue hostilities. Is Islam a subject of ridicule because of the lack of articulation or missing Islamic logicians in modern times? Or because Islam is not for hedonists or totemics that form the majority of global citizenry? True that polemical and cultural notions of Islam are more prevalent today than the scientific thought on Islam that lacks ‘an advocate’ or its preachers? Islam offers a unique method of hard worship that is exceptional. Through Islam, Lord Almighty (Allah) extended his access to a very scientific & revolutionary group of desert dwellers along with all those Lord Almighty helps globally now. Understandably, Islam has deep roots of opposition among the racists, totemics & hedonists, albeit for the rationalists/logicians who can’t get to know Islam, it’s a lost treasure & a subject of stereotypes, unfair & unbridled instincts. Science has had high parameters before as Pharaohs & Moses may have studied Pythagoras theorem (used in building Pyramids) whereby, Pythagoras succeeded Moses in time.

Messenger of Lord Almighty Muhammad told his companions that Caliphates would be succeeded by Sultanates, those would be succeeded by Kingdoms & then Nation-States , those would again get ‘a caliph’ & a modern caliphate (Musnad Ahmad collection). This real and verifiable assessment of the history of politics before the reality itself is amazing. Hon’ble Muhammad (the rasool: an emissary) was an autodidact who gained such knowledge without initial familiarity with Arabic alphabets, it’s another miracle of a miraculous individual whose legacy is unfathomable for those who don’t know him truly & consider Islam as a cult alone.
