Like everything created, Intellect, Idea and senses
all exist in pairs. One part of Intellect is what is driven by what we call
physical senses, and the other part of Intellect is driven by extra sensory senses.
Similarly physical senses are paired with extra sensory senses. Similarly the Idea perceived through physical
senses is paired with Idea perceived through extra sensory senses.
We have already seen in the article https://secondriseofislam.blogspot.com/2016/08/kalam-u-allah-and-nabis-words_20.html
that Quranic Words were shown as
written words to our Nabi (ﷺ) by Gabriel (a.s). It means our Nabi (ﷺ)
did not produce Quranic Words/
Kalam u Allah; rather our Nabi (ﷺ)
just narrated Quranic Words to
the people around. Our Nabi (ﷺ)
was the first narrator/ ‘Ravi’
of the Quran to the people of his (ﷺ)
generation. Similarly we have
seen Quran was revealed to
mind/conscious of our Nabi (ﷺ);
it means when Quranic Words
were revealed to our Nabi (ﷺ),
at the same time
understanding/meanings of Quran were also revealed to our Nabi (ﷺ). This fact has also been mentioned in Quran:
“Indeed, upon Us is its (Quran’s) collection [in your conscious/mind]
and [to make possible] its recitation….. Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the
explanation thereof” (al-Qiyamah-17,19).
These verses state that it is job of Allah to collect/preserve Quran in
the conscious/mind of our Nabi (ﷺ)
and it is Allah’s job to
explain the text of this Quran (means to explain the meanings of Quran). Some people say it was
through ijtihad that our Nabi (ﷺ)
exacted meanings of Quran and
Allah had nothing to do with this exercise done by our Nabi (ﷺ). It is a wrong thinking because this verse 19 clearly says it is upon
Allah to explain the meanings of Quran. These Quranic meanings were revealed to
our Nabi (ﷺ) through “wahi e khafi”. The ‘Quranic wahi’
is paired with ‘wahe e Khafi’.
The question is how ‘wahi’ was made a part of our Nabi’s (ﷺ) Conscious. We know the process of revelation was not perceived through
physical senses; the process of revelation was perceived only by our Nabi (ﷺ) and the people around our Nabi (ﷺ)
were not able to perceive-
through their physical senses- the
process of revelation. It clearly means our Nabi (ﷺ) used to perceive the process of wahi through his senses other than
physical senses. These senses through which our Nabi (ﷺ)
used to perceive ‘wahi’ and the process thereof
are called extra sensory senses.
In the articles https://secondriseofislam.blogspot.com/2015/10/soul-conscious-and-its-training.html
and https://secondriseofislam.blogspot.com/2016/09/reality-of-me-and-social-development-of.html
that Human
body is a reflection of human soul/conscious; our body is just like our
conscious sees it. Our
conscious and body are inextricably inseparable as long as we are alive. Our conscious/soul is AWARENESS of all
human body’s factors like intellect, knowledge, information, ideas, skills,
observations, experiences, feelings, perceptions, emotions, and, in short,
AWARENESS of all that we have in our life. In other words, nature/reality of
‘ME’/Conscious is the AWARENESS of all that I have in my life. In addition
to AWARENESS, my Conscious/ ‘ME’ has another quality; it has ‘WILL’ to adopt
the good or the bad knowingly that they are good or bad. All
other factors like intellect, knowledge, information, ideas, skills,
observations, experiences, feelings, and perceptions impact our Emotions which
further impact our soul/conscious/ ‘ME’, but decision making is the job of
Conscious/Soul/ ‘ME’; Conscious/ME may reject the impact of any Emotions and decide
to adopt the good or the bad. Therefore, in order to train/develop human
conscious, we have to manage all body’s factors like intellect, knowledge,
information, ideas, skills/capabilities, feelings, perceptions, experiences,
observations, and emotions.
Because our
Conscious has ‘Will to make good or bad decision’, and because the final
decision making is to be made by our Conscious, it means our Conscious has its
own intellectual faculty as well. In other words, there are
two separate intellectual faculties. The first Intellectual faculty functions through physical senses
whereas the second Intellectual faculty operates through extra sensory senses.
Both these Intellectual faculties may generate different Ideas OR may generate
the same Idea. Both Intellectual faculties may authenticate OR reject Ideas of
each other. Our Conscious after taking
inputs from both kinds of Intellectual faculties and from Emotions makes a
final decision as to what is to be done.
The Ideas
generated through physical senses and through extra sensory senses are
originated from the Unconscious Mind of relevant person. If Ideas embedded in
the Unconscious of the person are moved to his Conscious through physical
senses (which are external stimuli), the process is called Analogical
Deduction. If Ideas are moved to the Conscious
through extra sensory senses, the process is called Intuition OR ‘wahi’. The
difference between Intuition and wahi is that Intuition is a part of permanent
human functions (like heart beat is a permanent human body function) and this
function of Intuition is carried out
through extra sensory senses. But wahi is not a permanent
human function (only selective persons can avail process of wahi), though ‘wahi’ is
also carried out through extra sensory senses, it is carried out through an external entity e.g. Angel or Allah Himself (some wahi is carried out through angel and some directly through Allah); but Intuition is not carried out through any angel. The scope of Intuition is very
limited; it pertains to human capability to differentiate between what is good
and what is bad. Human Conscious’s Will to adopt the good or the bad knowingly
that they are the good or the bad is based on Intuition. But scope of ‘wahi’
includes all knowledge, information, experiences, observations, Ideas,
feelings, perceptions, in short, all that we have in life. [pls also see https://secondriseofislam.blogspot.com/2015/01/ilhaminspiration-function-of-human-mind.html ].
As mentioned earlier, through both processes (i.e.
physical senses based Intellectual faculty and extra sensory Intellectual
faculty), the same Idea may become part of the Conscious; on the other hand,
both processes may generate different Ideas as well. It is up to the Conscious
to decide as to which one Idea should be made basis of the decision. As for
authenticity of Idea is concerned (to know whether any Idea has become
correctly part of Conscious or not), physical senses based Idea is the least
authentic due to likely deficiency of external data on basis of which Idea is
analyzed by the recipient. But in case of extra sensory Idea, Idea may become or may not become correctly a part of Conscious. In case of prophet, extra sensory Idea is ensured to be correctly comprehended by the conscious of the prophet, but in case of non-prophet, such surety of correct comprehension of extra sensory Idea is not ensured. In case of
‘Quranic wahi’, comprehension of Idea is not left to analogical deduction of the
recipient’s (our Nabi's [s.a.w.w) physical Intellect; rather Allah’s Words are shown to the recipient’s
[our Nabi's (s.a.w.w)] extra sensory Intellect so that Idea must be comprehended correctly by the
recipient’s Conscious. Similarly in case of both ‘wahi e khafi’ and ‘Quranic
wahi’, the correct comprehension of Idea by the recipient’s Conscious is
ensured through a Conscious Entity i.e. Allah Himself or through an angel through Extra Sensory Senses. ( it may be appreciated because Wahi and Intuition both are subject of Extra Sensory Intellectual Faculty and Wahi and Intuition both are always correctly comprehended by Extra Sensory Intellect but both may be rejected/ misunderstood by Physical Intellectual Faculty. A prophet's Conscious is so developed and well trained that it never accepts Physical Intellect's dictation, if such dictation is different from that of Extra Sensory Intellect's). In case of non-prophetic
wahi, the authenticity of Idea is based on
the prophetic wahi; if non-prophetic wahi is not in consonance with
prophetic wahi, it would mean such non-prophetic wahi is NOT actual/ correct wahi. For details about prophetic
and non-prophetic wahi pls see article https://secondriseofislam.blogspot.com/2011/09/wahi-and-intuition.html.
As described above, a prophet's conscious always receives 100% accurate Idea through extra sensory senses/ non-physical Intellect; similarly the Idea called Intuition is also received accurately by human conscious through non-physical Intellect. But it may be appreciated that all humans contain non-physical Intellect as well as physical Intellect; non-physical Intellect does not essentially work correctly in all humans in all cases though it works correctly in all cases in the prophets. This is the difference between a Prophet and a common human.
We may
conclude that human intellect, senses and Ideas all exist in pairs, like every
other thing existing in nature. Physical Intellect is paired with extra sensory
Intellect; physical senses are paired with extra sensory senses; physical Ideas
are paired with extra sensory Ideas. Both Physical Intellectual faculty and extra
sensory Intellectual faculty give their inputs to human Conscious which, on the
basis of inputs given, uses its ‘Will to adopt the good or the bad deed’. Human
brain is also divided into two sections both are inter-connected as well as
connected with the third part called Cerebellum; this form of human brain does
not seem to be without suggestion.
