Spirituality & Mysticism of God

Before we can prove that God exists, we better start first by analyzing the meaning and the system of life on this planet. Please consider that the “life-system” of a normal living person consists of three main elements.

The main elements of the system are the physical, mental and spiritual condition. It is understood that to maintain a good standard of the system, one has to keep the physical condition with sufficient food, water, exercise etc…, in order to be alive, and to remain fit and healthy.

To gain a good mental condition, one has to receive good education, training, study the environment, enjoy entertainments and find work in relation with the knowledge gained in order to maintain a good rational meaning of life, instead of irrational or emotional. Good feelings belong to the rational way of thinking while bad (wrong) feelings belong to the irrational part.

So the standard of the system will vary from one individual to another, depending on how fit and rational they are in keeping their ethical mind, discipline, character and behavior during their entire life.

While the physical condition can see, hear and feel things, so we find that the mental condition has many implicated items, as from rational or emotional, sentiments, feelings, libido, mind and discipline, which are spontaneously transformed into a character or moral issues.

We see now that the above physical and mental condition shall reveal the feeling of happiness, satisfaction, or the opposite feelings, like sadness, disappointment etc., depending on how they have experienced their health and social life, including gain in material matters. So far the meaning of life according to the physical and mental condition is simple enough to understand. One could wonder is that not enough to cover the meaning of life, without spirituality?

Subjectively speaking, it is enough. As an example; if you and your family have a place to live with sufficient food with or without entertainment which are in fact beyond spirituality, both people (especially atheists) and animals “can enjoy their life” on this planet, but not without consequences. Animals don’t have or need to have spirituality, but instead they belong to the ecosystem and have built-in instincts and special physical abilities such as an acute sense of smell, something practically non-existent in humans.

But objectively the answer is no, it’s not enough, because for the human being spirituality or soul is the systemic energy that generates life, freedom and inspire believers with respect & gratefulness. The soul makes the fetus’ brain function, revealing the emotion. Movement starts in the womb after 2 to 3 months of pregnancy. According to gynecological studies, such a phenomenon is still unknown and to be considered as “an act of God”.

When there is a lack of physical, mental and spiritual condition in the life system you might be an invalid, a patient of a mental hospital, an atheist or a secularist. I must stress on this subject very clearly; don’t try to reduce the main elements of the life-system, because scientifically speaking without applying the entire elements of a system, the outcome will be “unpredictable” and that is very risky for human life. (We will come back to this systemic subject more specifically, later on).

In any case, however, human beings have spirituality or soul. Yes, because the spiritual condition shall implicate a strong intellectual energy and highly motivated ability to certain personalities to finally believe in God. We also know that primitive people with low intellectual energy found their freedom in creating their own gods, but finally failed to survive.

Such phenomenons have been proved and experienced by Abraham and Moses, where their own people have worshiped wooden statue and a calf made from their own ornaments. However they failed later on to continue the image of worshiper activities. (Holly Qur’an: 21/53-55 and 7/148).

Regarding the above unknown phenomenon and statement of “an act of God” we refer to following version of the Holly Qur’an:
22/5……”We might manifest to you Our power. We cause to remain in the womb ‘whatever We please for an appointed term’, and then We bring you forth as infants”,.......................
39/6….. “He created you from a single soul, etc……..He molds you in your mothers’ wombs by stages in threefold darkness”………………….

So it is clear that the soul has been delivered to the fetus in the womb and when you die, consistently the soul that originated from God, has to be returned to God. The following version shall explain the case during the day of Resurrection :
6/61-62 He sends forth guardians who watch over you and claim your souls without fail when death overtakes you. Then are all men restored to God, their true Lord.

It seems that the perception of spirituality or soul cannot be easily understood for its significance on this planet Yes, the role of spirituality or soul is more significant during the “days of resurrection”. The following versions prescribe God’s promise for believers during those days. The pleasure and joy are indeed much more significant than on Earth.

75/1: I swear by the Day of Resurrection, and by the self reproaching soul!
9/21-22. Their Lord has promised them mercy from Himself, and His pleasure and gardens of eternal bliss where they shall dwell for ever. God’s recompense is great indeed.

That is why people who believe in spirituality or soul also believe in God and are prepared to receive good guidance for life on this Planet. God does not guide the unbelievers, and reveal the consequences for them to receive the feeling of gratefulness or painful judgment here on Earth, especially on the day of resurrection.

If you do not believe in God then you do not believe in resurrection, so you can carry on your life without bothering any longer about spirituality or soul on this planet. But please do not forget that human nature is not strong enough to remain inconsistent, and that is why it finally needs guidance.

Here comes the big question: “Is there any practical example, where spirituality or life-guidance is required in order to keep in harmony with a peaceful society?”

Yes, here are few practical examples of human errors or misconducts which, according to the common sense, need to be guided and solved through spiritual arguments. The arguments are for example:

1) “It’s arrogant of you showing too much pride in yourself and too little consideration for others”.
2) “The greedy leader had an excessive and selfish desire of wealth and power, and didn’t care about limitation.
3) “His obsession with material possessions, bodily comforts etc. are such, while neglecting spiritual values”.

We can draw the following conclusion; It is proved that people need guidance or spirituality which without doubt belongs to the life-system. The question is now, how do you implement your belief in connection with spirituality?

Since spirituality or soul exists, and we are convinced now that our life on this planet originated from God, so we therefore believe without doubt that “God exists”. But the crucial thing is that no one has seen God and nobody knows His position on this gigantic Universe He has created, we therefore further believe in the “The Mysticism of God”, until the day of resurrection.

Since God is involved in spirituality, we found that the knowledge of the above “life-system” can not be considered as a secular science.
