    Salaam Rambutan,

    If you feel daunted by the scale of the universe, the universe is truly daunted by the scale of Allah (Not God) in equal measure.

    This is really the point to ponder, do not worry about the perceived scale of the physical creation, it is in truth insignificant, simply a single drop in an infinite fluidic ocean, which itself is a drop in the next, Allah manifests all through pure thought, so consider how others think of you, before you worry about how Allah may notice you exist, Allah has thought you into existence, Allah must think of you to maintain your existence, so do not worry, Allah does not perceive you insignificant.

      Astrophysics is a lie.

      The universe is just a background with moving lights and its smaller than you think.

      The Earth is huge and and the seven heavens goes around it. Each heaven move at a particular speed. For example the heaven of the sun rotates around the Earth in 24 hours, that of the moon in 24 hr 50 min and that of the stars in 23 hr 57 min. These differential speeds creates the phases, the percessions etc.

      Maybe this will cheer you up a bit.

                Over the last few weeks, I devoted some time to read books and browse websites related to astrophysics (universe, stars, planets, cosmos etc etc) and I couldn't sleep well of late. My wife noticed a change in my character as my mind seems to be wandering and i also felt like experiencing social withdrawal or something like that. I feel mentally and psychologically troubled by the fact that Earth is like a grain of sand on all beaches in the world. Pictures of galaxies showing billions and billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars really really affected me mentally, psychologically and spiritually. I feel like I am being grip by the fear of sliding into a state of nothingness or something when I die, knowing that the planet I live on is just like a speck of dust. I am sure modern medicine will classify me as having a mental illness if I subject my mind to their examination. I wonder how most people manage this fear.

                I had that too. But for a few days. I really got facinated by GOD's creation of the universe.

                          Dear brother,

                          This is not a lie...there is no difference between geocentricity and heliocentricity...they are mathematically the same. If you think that gravitational laws are perfect...go and study the paradoxes of deep cosmic bodies and how they behave in complete contradiction to gravitational laws.

                          There is no way to prove or disprove whether or not the Earth moves...it is that simple. Till now that is.

                          Peace out.

                            I feel much much better now when I'm reminded of the fact that the Creator also created our sense of humour. I think it will be really stressful if we overlook God's creations like a human sense of humour, "funny" animals etc etc but ponder only on the billions of galaxies, stars, hell and heaven etc. For your information, the last time I became stressed like this was when I happened on the website www.submission.org a few years ago.

                                          Over the last few weeks, I devoted some time to read books and browse websites related to astrophysics (universe, stars, planets, cosmos etc etc) and I couldn't sleep well of late. My wife noticed a change in my character as my mind seems to be wandering and i also felt like experiencing social withdrawal or something like that. I feel mentally and psychologically troubled by the fact that Earth is like a grain of sand on all beaches in the world.

                                          We then refer to conquering and procreation, and inshallah that space shall be just a matter of time to over take. Most people do what they can... I would suggest you don't boil your brain and take a break. Or put ice/cooling on your head, like you would for your pc's cpu.
