BISMILLAH

When there was nothing
There was the vacuum
The illuminating womb of all fire
Without smoke without fume
When there was nothing
There was the empty carcass
The Nur Un Ala Nur body
Without fire without ash

When there was nothing
There was the desert
The illuminating ring of fire
With the glowing Nurani art
When there was nothing
There was the empty carcass
The Nur Un Ala Nur Chairman
Under the ALLAH'S ARSH

Poga Say's in a Foolington Maze

When there was nothing
There was the KURSI
The creative cubical truth
Destroying all circular heresy
When there was nothing
There was the fulfilled heart
In order to reveal its love and peace
It created an written art
The art of pen tablet and ink
When there was no spoken words
There was the written alphabetic link

Barzakh I have two pockets one empty on full
One sheepskin jacket one jumper wool
These are two conditions of this creation
Solid death and fragile living vibration
Therefore oh BE AQL
ALLAH is beyond my reach of space but within my call
Space the void Gullah
Is the circular NURANI ring of MUHAMMAD RASUL ALLAH
The ring is within the cubical KURSI
The ironic footstool of the golden emcee
Bellow him
Muhammad Sallel La Hu Alahi Wa Sallim
Is the water
Above him is the throne of the creator
This are the Kissa of The Kursi and Arsh
Of hidden creator and his phantom carcass

Be Aql His throne was above the water
It doesn't mean something was in between the water and the creator
Therefore don't create FITNA else there will be fight
Oh BARZAKH tear of you dark veil and come to the light

Barzakh When his ARSH was above the water
Where was the KURSI
My BARZAKH is my clear soul
While your mind is full of doubtful heresy
My veil is my marrifatic identity
While your hijab is your sharriatic mask
You the kernel of the seed what do you know about the garden
While you can't see even beyond your own husk

Be Aql As my bodily husk dies away
My kernel go through the earth toward the heavenly way
My shoot continuously prospers as tree in well tended garden
While other carcass grows as unattended graveyard grass to be continuously chew-en and eaten
And end up as dung
As wise manure Freud and learned muck Jung
There theirs every evil scheme every satanic Naqsha
Fails to design the phantom Baitul Mamaur or the physical Masjidul Aqsa

Barzakh The Naqsha that occupies in and out
The Naqsh of cubical solid sight and the spiritual liquid shout
The Naqsha that fulfills every Naqshbandi Arif
The Naqsh of the cubical KAABA the treasure map of all foot mark followers of the Na Layn Sharrif
The Naqsh that begins with the straight Siratul Mustaqim line
And Travels to grow toward all square sign
Then with the dividing two dimensional diagonals
Creates the first house of the three dimensional cubicles
It is the first house the ARSH of ALLAH
Bellow it is another cube The KURSI of MUHAMMAD UR RASUL ALLAH
Within the KURSI there is another diagonal line
Between Cathode and Anode for the ignotronic arc MUHAMMADAN sign
These are the Naqsh of the empty dark desert and the glowing Nurani ring
The straight organic iron with every spinning electronic beginning

Be Aql What creates the spin
The Feminine nuts or bolts Masculine
Is It the cubical cross shivam screw driver
Or zero functional Pravathi's Circular SANSAR
What creates the spin
Is It The cubical Clayish INASAN
Or the circular Iblis sparkle JINN

Barzakh The manifest cough lough and sneeze
Scented scenery and hidden breeze
Unseen symptom and visual sign
Hidden plane and manifest line
These are two sequence of the three state of the AWAZ
The manifest AL ZAHIR the hidden AL BATIN and the illusion AL MIRAGE
These are our past present future three straight separate lines unified by the triangle
These are three separate lines what creates this continuous spinning cycle by the arc of angle
It is here
In this chair
Where NOOR glows from its inner angular NICHE
It is here
To this chair
To whom the ARSH beseech
It is here in this chair
Where diagram of one mortal sandal provides the eight infinite imortal sign
It is here
In this chair
Where lays the diagram of macrocosm in the MUHAMMADAN NA LAYN

Kitaab At-Tawheed, Chapter 64

What Has Been Said About Allah's Words " They Made Not a Just Estimate of Allah"

Allah , says

" No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him On the Day of Resurrection, the whole earth will be in His Grasp and the heavens will be rolled up in His right Hand. Glory to Him! High is He above the partners they attribute to Him" (Qur'an 3967)

Allah , Most Glorified, Most High, informs us in this verse that the polytheists do not glorify Allah as is His right, because they worship others beside Him, when He is the Owner of everything and Able to do all things He will hold the whole world and the heavens and the earth in His right Hand on the Day of Resurrection and He is Exalted far above that which they attribute to Him.

Benefits Derived From This Verse

1. That those who worship others beside Allah do not glorify Him as is His right upon them.

2. The obligation to glorify Allah and to abstain from attributing to Him that which does not befit His Majesty.

3. Confirmation of Allah possessing Hands in a manner befitting His Majesty.

Relevance of This Verse to the Subject of the Chapter and to the Subject of Tawheed

It is reported on the authority of Ibn Mas'ood (ra) that he said "Arabbi came to Allah's Messenger and said "Oh, Muhammad ! We are told that Allah will put all the heavens on one Finger and the earths on one Finger and the trees on one Finger and the water and the dust on one Finger and all the other created beings on one Finger. Then He will say "I am the King." Thereupon, the Prophet laughed until his molar teeth were visible and this was confirmation of the rabbi's words. Then he recited "" No just estimate have they made of Allaah such as is due to Him On the Day of Resurrection, the whole of the earth will be in His Grasp" ." In another narration by Muslim, it is stated "...and the mountains and the trees on one Finger, then He will shake them saying "I am the King, I am Allah." In a narration of Bukhari, it is said "Allah will put the heavens on one Finger and the rest of creation on one Finger."

Ibn Mas'ood (ra) informs us in this Hadith that a Jewish rabbi came to the Prophet and told him that they, the Jews, had found in their Scriptures that on the Day of Judgement Allah will place the heavens on one Finger, the earths on one Finger, the trees on one Finger, the water on one Finger and the dust on one Finger; and in another narration, that He will place the water on one Finger and all of the rest of creation on another Finger. Thus will He reveal something of His Might and Power and His complete control over all affairs and His sole right to be worshipped.

Where are the arrogant ones?" Then He will fold up the seven earth and take them in His left Hand and say "I am the King, where are the tyrants? where are the arrogant ones?"

Ibn `Umar (ra) informs us that he heard from the Prophet that on the Day of Judgement, Allah , Most Glorified, Most High, will fold up the seven heavens and take them in His right Hand and He will fold up the seven earth and take them in His left Hand and as He folds each of them, He will call forth the tyrants and the arrogant people, making them realise their insignificance by His Words "I am the King." - i.e. He is the true Owner of all things; He is Perfect in every respect and there is no weakness or defect in Him and that all those who claim kingship or sovereignty are in fact weak and feeble, powerless in His Grasp. He will not be asked about what He does, but they will be asked.

It is reported on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (ra) that he said "The seven heavens and the seven earths are no more in Allah's Hand than a mustard seed in the hand of one of you."

Ibn `Abbas (ra) informs us in this narration that the seven heavens and the seven earths in comparison to Allah's Hand - in spite of their enormity - are as insignificant as a mustard seed in a man's hand; and this is a comparison between the heavens and the earths and a mustard seed, not a comparison between Allah's Hand and the hand of man because nothing resembles Allah , either in His Attributes or in His Self.

Benefits Derived From This Narration

1. That the heavens are seven.

2. That the earths are seven.

3. That Ibn `Abbas confirms Allah's Possessing a Hand.

Relevance of This Narration to the Subject of the Chapter and to the Subject of Tawheed

That it proves the overwhelming Might and Power of Allah and the insignificance of His creatures and thus the obligation to glorify Him, Alone, without partners, by professing His Oneness in word and deed.

..ooOOoo..

Ibn Jareer said " Yoonus told me that Ibn Wahb informed him that Ibn Zaid said "My father told me "Allah's Messenger said "The seven heavens are no more in comparison to the Kursi than seven dirhams set in a shield." Abu Zarr (ra) said "I heard Allah's Messenger say "The Kursi is no more in comparison to the `Arsh (Throne) than an iron ring thrown in a vast desert."

The Prophet informs us in both of the above narration that Allah possesses a Kursi (Footstool) and an Arsh (Throne) and that they are both immense, though the Arsh is greater than the Kursi, for the comparison of the seven heavens to the Kursi is that of seven dirham coins set in a shield, while the comparison of the Kursi to the Arsh is that of a ring thrown in a vast desert. And it has been reported in another Hadith on the authority of Ibn Abbas (ra) that the Kursi is the resting place of the Feet of the Most Beneficent, and that none can estimate its vastness but He , Most Glorified, Most High.

Benefits Derived From These Two Hadith

The Number 666 - God's Secret Place

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 13.18

Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.

No number in the history of the World has stimulated more speculation than the enigmatic 666 of Revelation 13. The verse above contains the explicit imperative (psephisato, let him calculate) from the root psephidzo (count, S# 5585). This verb is the root of (Isopsephia = 1499) - the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Gematria - from the roots "isos" (same, S# 2470) and "psephos" (pebble/count, S# 5586).

The study of the number 666 must therefore be understood as a command from the Lord, and should be obeyed. But to obey this command requires that we lay the foundation for the entire study of Numbers in Scripture, for the correct understanding of any number, like that of any word, depends on its context and relative meaning to other elements of the same class. This requires an indepth study, which is one of the purposes of this website. This study is not new. It has been known and practiced since ancient times. In the second century, Iraneus fought against its abuse by the Gnostics in his Against Heresies while St. Clement of Alexandria (as he is known to the Catholics and Greek Orthodox) practiced it with some alacrity while remaining (for the most part) within the bounds of Christian orthodoxy.

Six and Thirteen
The appearance of the Number 666 in Revelation 13 integrates with the distribution of both the Greek word (Hex, Six, S# 1803) and the Hebrew word (Vav, Hook, S# 2053), the name of the Sixth Letter. Both of these words each appears exactly 13 times in Scripture! The significance of this "coincidence" is amplified by the natural geometry of the Number 13, which is fundamentally hexagonal - sixfold - since it is the first non-trivial Star Number

There are many deep and profound ramifications of the relation between the Numbers Six and Thirteen. This Star Number is the basis of the Unity Holograph (Shema) just as the Hexagon/Star pair 37/73 forms the basis of the Creation Holograph. The Number 13 carries the fundamental significance of Love and Unity while Six carries the connotation of Work. Thus God's Work of Creation is intimately associated with these Numbers. The Star Numbers are the the root form of the Logos Star, the geometric representation of the prime number 373, the value of the Word God spoke to create the World.

The Numbers Six and Thirteen come together in the Prime Number 613 which is the quintessential self-chosen Number of the Jews, who concluded long ago that there are exactly 613 Commandments in the Torah. This number was one of the first to catch my attention many years ago because of the associated identities (613 = In the Torah = The First Covenant = Circumcision, etc.) Likewise, it is the Jews who recognized the profound spiritual significance of the Number 13, which they immortalized in their count of God's Thirteen Attributes of Mercy and Maimonides codification of the Jewish Faith as Thirteen Articles . Note also that 613 = 13 + 600, which is the sum of the ordinal and sofit values of the Thirteenth Letter Mayim.

One of the most enduring mysteries is the near universal superstitious fear and distrust of the Numbers Six and Thirteen, especially in light of God's use of these numbers in Scripture. Nearly all Christians who study numbers in Scripture assign dark and sinister meanings to both of them. Aversion to the Number Six arises primarily from its association with Man (who is fallen and sinful) and the Number of the Beast. But this is an historical abberation that ignores the much more significant association of Six with God's great work of Creation. We must never forget that evil is a perversion of the fundamental goodness of God's Creation.

The reason for aversion to the Number 13 is much less obvious, there being a host of divergent explanations for this superstitious fear, technically known as triskaidekaphobia . Suggestions vary from the thirteen witches in a coven, the thirteenth guest at the Norse god Odin's ill-fated feast to the thirteen partakers of the Last Supper. Christians typically note that the first occurrence of thirteen in Scripture is in the context of rebellion (cf. Genesis 14) and that Genesis 13.13 contains the first occurrence of "sinners." They also note that some references to Satan are multiples of 13, though how they ignore its primary significance - which has been noted for centruries by the Jews who counted God's Thirteen Attributes of Mercy - remains a mystery. Personally, I think it is due to sloppy, incomplete and

BISMILLAH

By Poga Humayun Dundiwala

Heavy heart and weight of gratitude
Counting the blessing with extravagant attitude
Number of blessing and one too many
The IMAM of want and chant and Psalm of content phony

Heavy heart and weight of gratitude
Counting the cost under apparent magnitude
Number of blessing and needful suffice
Weight of beholden and audit office

Poga Say's in a fooligton maze

Weight of a being and measure of existence
A Eternal machine refueling with instance
A overflowing fullness that remain empty
Occasional outrage and permanent serenity

Heavy heart and weight of gratitude
Counting the beads with blessed blind attitude
Number of chant and want of man
Lightness of mark and weight of the pen

Mr Barzakh Fitrath Ullah The dark square niche with glowing cube crystal
The dark square footstool with the glowing circle
The four legged dark KURSI and the eight headed glowing ARSH
The first dimensional lines of the audible pen and the second dimensional planes of the visual brush
These are the silent blessing of watery niche with the sounding clay crystal
Square up of all SAWAB with rolling down KHOAB circle
These are payment of silent blessing with the grateful AWAZ
These are payment to silent water from vibrating QUARTZ

Mrs Be Aql Khan Usta This life is not some unreal Shawab
But this life is the place to gain the real Sawab
This life is where
I will my awareness to submit in sincere
To will of GOD
This life is where i sing the DURUD OF MUHAMMAD
Sallel La Hu Alahi Wa Sallaim
This life is blessing this life where we drink the living breathing Tasnim

Mr Barzakh Fitrath Ullah ALLAH is manifest ALLAH is hidden and he have no partner
Therefore this life is not real nor unreal but reflectional SANSAR
Yet this life not the blind mutation of two
But the clear water with the NURANI view
This life is like this living breathing vibration
The WORD of GOD that occupies the whole without GOD being present in part portion or section

Mrs Be Aql Khan Usta The best business is religious SAWDAH
The best of innovation is religious BIDAH
It is the business where profits multiplies by SUNNAH sanction
It is the TIJARAH where SAWAB multiplies by Fibonacci function
Therefore count this blessing where one is many
It is one present JULM where punishment multiplies without losing its previous tyranny

Barzakh He gave Fibbonacci formula in the HADITH of BIDAH E HASANAH and the sequence in the DEEN of ISLAM
In the First KALAMA of ALLAH chose from his infinite names and infinite prophets he chose ALLAH 1 and MUHAMMAD 1 SALLEL LA HU ALAHI WA SALLAM
Now he who chooses the first sequence 1 + 1 may continue toward the two
With the QURAN and SUNNAH by his body and RUH 1 + 1 = 2
Then toward the third run
With IMAN AMAL and EHSAAN 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
He continues to ascend toward the infinite area
He continues to grow By five KALAMA E SHAHADA and eight AHKAM E SHARRIAH 5 + 8 = 1 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5
This is the ASL asset of Islamic Bidathi innovation
And the inheritance SAWAB of its NAQL repetition
This is the real ISLAMIC enigmatic BIDAH and the ASL concept of ISLAMIC AWL
The RUHANI solution to all mental BE AQL

Be Aql Prophet MUHAMMAD SALLEL LA HU ALAHI WA SALLAM said i warn you of the newly invented matter
And every newly invented matter is an innovation of its creator
And every innovation is misguidance
And every misguidance is in the hell fire residence
According to HADITH An Nasaee
All Ulema Say's this HADITH is Kullu shaee
Now doe's all newly invented matters leads to hell
Ancient water and modern well
I don't know that but i know this
When you neglect 13 Arkan and Ahkam and 21 SALAH SUNNAH your AHZAB increases while your SAWAB decrease 13 + 21

Barzakh Now who else but you to tell me about 13 SALATH E MUSTAHAB and 21 SALATH SUNNAH SAWAB 13 + 21 = 34
Who else but you to tell me about 13 SALATH E MUSTAHAB and 21 SALATH E SUNNAH what can nullify SALATH by 21 acts MOQRUH AHZAB 13 + 21 + 21 = 55

Who else but you to tell me about SUNNAH OF MUHAMMAD UR RASUL ALLAH
Yes i agree i know very little about AL QURAN and AL HADIS
But i know lot about every other which what that and this

Fibonacci Numbers A Measure of Beauty

By Harun Yahya
March 02, 2005

The Golden Number is not mathematical imagination, but a natural principle related to the laws of equilibrium
(Qur'an, 65 3)

The Wikipedia encyclopaedia describes beauty as ?the phenomenon of the experience of pleasure, through the perception of balance'. Everyone admires beauty in nature and the unique balance found in it. Some say that this balance and perception of beauty is due to the Golden number or the ratio that gives certain things their exquisitness.

If a pleasing or exceedingly balanced form is achieved in terms of elements of application or function, it is there that we may look for a function of the Golden Number. The Golden Number is a product not of mathematical imagination, but of a natural principle related to the laws of equilibrium.

What do the pyramids in Egypt, Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of the Mona Lisa, sunflowers, the snail, the pine cone and your fingers all have in common?

The answer to this question lies hidden in a sequence of numbers discovered by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci. The characteristic of these numbers, known as the Fibonacci numbers, is that each one consists of the sum of the two numbers before it.

Fibonacci numbers

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, ?

Fibonacci numbers have an interesting property. When you divide one number in the sequence by the number before it, you obtain numbers very close to one another. In fact, this number is fixed after the 13th number in the series. This number is known as the "golden ratio."

GOLDEN RATIO = 1.618

233 / 144 = 1.618

377 / 233 = 1.618

610 / 377 = 1.618

987 / 610 = 1.618

1597 / 987 = 1.618

2584 / 1597 = 1.618

The Golden Ratio

When conducting their researches or setting out their products, artists, scientists and designers take the human body, the proportions of which are set out according to the golden ratio, as their measure. Leonardo da Vinci and Le Corbusier took the human body, proportioned according to the golden ratio, as their measure when producing their designs. The human body, proportioned according to the golden ratio, is taken as the basis also in the Neufert, one of the most important reference books of modern-day architects.

The Golden Ratio in the Human Body

Click to Enlarge

The "ideal" proportional relations that are suggested as existing among various parts of the average human body and that approximately meet the golden ratio values can be set out in a general plan as follows

The M/m level (shown in the table to the right) is always equivalent to the golden ratio. M/m = 1.618

The first example of the golden ratio in the average human body is that when the distance between the navel and the foot is taken as 1 unit, the height of a human being is equivalent to 1.618. Some other golden proportions in the average human body are

The distance between the finger tip and the elbow / distance between the wrist and the elbow

The distance between the shoulder line and the top of the head / head length

The distance between the navel and the top of the head / the distance between the shoulder line and the top of the head

The distance between the navel and knee / distance between the knee and the end of the foot

The Human Hand

Lift your hand from the computer mouse and look at the shape of your index finger. You will in all likelihood witness a golden proportion there.

Our fingers have three sections. The proportion of the first two to the full length of the finger gives the golden ratio (with the exception of the thumbs). You can also see that the proportion of the middle finger to the little finger is also a golden ratio.

You have two hands, and the fingers on them consist of three sections. There are five fingers on each hand, and only eight of these are articulated according to the golden number 2, 3, 5, and 8 fit the Fibonacci numbers.

The Golden Ratio in the Human Face

There are several golden ratios in the human face. Do not pick up a ruler and try to measure people's faces, however, because this refers to the "ideal human face" determined by scientists and artists.

For example, the total width of the two front teeth in the upper jaw over their height gives a golden ratio. The width of the first tooth from the centre to the second tooth also yields a golden ratio. These are the ideal proportions that a dentist may consider. Some other golden ratios in the human face are

Length of face / width of face

Distance between the lips and where the eyebrows meet / length of nose

Length of face / distance between tip of jaw and where the eyebrows meet

Length of mouth / width of nose

Width of nose / distance between nostrils

Distance between pupils / distance between eyebrows

Golden Proportion in the Lungs

In a study carried out between 1985 and 1987, the American physicist B. J. West and Dr. A. L. Goldberger revealed the existence of the golden ratio in the structure of the lung. One feature of the network of the bronchi that constitutes the lung is that it is asymmetric. For example, the windpipe divides into two main bronchi, one long (the left) and the other short (the right). This asymmetrical division continues into the subsequent subdivisions of the bronchi. It was determined that in all these divisions the proportion of the short bronchus to the long was always 1/1.618.

The Golden Rectangle and the Design in the Spiral

A rectangle, the proportion of whose sides is equal to the golden ratio is known as a "golden rectangle"
A rectangle, the proportion of whose sides is equal to the golden ratio is known as a "golden rectangle." A rectangle whose sides are 1.618 and 1 unit long is a golden rectangle. Let us assume a square drawn along the length of the short side of this rectangle and draw a quarter circle between two corners of the square. Then, let us draw a square and a quarter circle on the remaining side and do this for all the remaining rectangles in the main rectangle. When you do this you will end up with a spiral.

The British aesthetician William Charlton explains the way that people find the spiral pleasing and have been using it for thousands of years stating that we find spirals pleasing because we are easily able to visually follow them.

The spirals based on the golden ratio contain the most incomparable designs you can find in nature. Examples we can give of this are the spiral sequences on the sunflower and the pine cone.

The Design in Sea Shells

When investigating the shells of mollusks, which live at the bottom of the sea, the form and the structure of the internal and external surfaces of the shells attracted scientists' attention.

The internal surface is smooth, while the outside surface is fluted. The mollusk's body is inside the shell. The outside edges of the shell augment its rigidity and, thus, increase its strength. The shell's form is astonishing in its perfection highlighting the beauty of its creation. The spiral idea in shells is expressed in the perfect geometrical form, in a surprisingly beautiful, "sharpened" design.

The shells of most mollusks grow in a logarithmic spiral manner. There can be no doubt, of course, that these animals are unaware of even the simplest mathematical calculation, let alone logarithmic spirals. So how is it that the creatures in question can know that this is the best way for them to grow? How do these animals, that some scientists describe as "primitive," know that this is the ideal form for them? It is impossible for growth of this kind to take place in the absence of a consciousness or intellect. That consciousness exists neither in mollusks nor, despite what some scientists would claim, in nature itself. It is totally irrational to seek to account for such a thing in terms of chance. This design can only be the product of the Almighty Allah.

An example of perfect geometry
Growth of this kind was described as "gnomic growth" by the biologist Sir D'Arcy Thompson, an expert on the subject, who stated that it was impossible to imagine a simpler system, during the growth of a seashell, than which was based on widening and extension in line with identical and unchanging proportions. As he pointed out, the shell constantly grows, but its shape remains the same.

One can see one of the best examples of this type of growth in a nautilus, just a few centimetres in diameter. C. Morrison describes this growth process, which is exceptionally difficult to plan even with human intelligence, stating that along the nautilus shell, an internal spiral extends consisting of a number of chambers with mother-of-pearl (calcium carbonate and conchiolin secreted by the mantle of mollusks) lined walls. As the animal grows, it builds another chamber at the mouth of the spiral shell larger than the one before it, and moves forward into this larger area by closing the door behind it with a layer of mother-of-pearl.

Growth in a spiral form in the animal world is not restricted to the shells of mollusks. Animals such as antelopes, goats and rams complete their horn development in spiral forms based on the golden ratio.

The Golden Ratio in the Hearing and Balance Organ

The cochlea in the human inner ear serves to transmit sound vibrations. This bony structure, filled with fluid, has a logarithmic spiral shape with a fixed angle of =73?43? containing the golden ratio.

The Golden Ratio in DNA

The molecule in which all the physical features of living things are stored, too, has been created in a form based on the golden ratio. The DNA molecule, the very program of life, is based on the golden ratio. DNA consists of two intertwined perpendicular helixes. The length of the curve in each of these helixes is 34 angstroms and the width 21 angstroms. (1 angstrom is one hundred millionth of a centimetre.) 21 and 34 are two consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

The Golden Ratio in Snow Crystals

The golden ratio also manifests itself in crystal structures. Most of these are in structures too minute to be seen with the naked eye. Yet you can see the golden ratio in snow flakes. The various long and short variations and protrusions that comprise the snow flake all yield the golden ratio.

The Golden Ratio in Space

In the universe there are many spiral galaxies containing the golden ratio in their structures.

The Golden Ratio in Physics

You encounter Fibonacci series and the golden ratio in fields that fall under the sphere of physics. When a light is held over two contiguous layers of glass, one part of that light passes through, one part is absorbed, and the rest is reflected. What happens is a "multiple reflection." The number of paths taken by the ray inside the glass before it emerges again depends on the number of reflections it is subjected to. In conclusion, when we determine the number of rays that re-emerge, we find that they are compatible with the Fibonacci numbers.

The fact that a great many unconnected animate or inanimate structures in nature are shaped according to a specific mathematical formula is one of the clearest proofs that these have been specially designed. The golden ratio is an aesthetic rule well known and applied by artists. Works of art based on that ratio represent aesthetic perfection. Plants, galaxies, micro-organisms, crystals and living things designed according to this rule imitated by artists are all examples of Allah's superior artistry. Allah reveals in the Qur'an that He has created all things with a measure. Some of these verses read
