<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
quality of an illusion, and grasps that a being which is an illusion<br />
will not be able to see a being which is absolute. As it is revealed in<br />
the Qur'an, human beings cannot see Allah but Allah sees them.<br />
Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight... (Surat<br />
al-An'am: 103)<br />
Certainly, we human beings cannot see the Being of Allah with<br />
our eyes but we know that He completely encompasses our inside,<br />
our outside, our views and our thoughts. For this reason, Allah reveals<br />
Himself in the Qur'an as "controlling hearing and sight"<br />
(Surah Yunus: 31) We cannot say one word, we cannot even take<br />

this verse: "If My servants ask you about Me, I am near..." (Surat al-<br />
Baqara: 186) In another verse the same reality is expressed, "Surely<br />
your Lord encompasses the people with His knowledge." (Surat<br />
al-Isra': 60).<br />
Many people continue to err by thinking that the nearest thing to<br />
themselves is themselves. However, Allah is closer to us even than<br />
we are to ourselves. Allah reveals this fact in these verses: "Why<br />
then, when death reaches his throat and you are at that moment<br />
looking on—and We are nearer him than you but you cannot see"<br />
(Surat al-Waqi'a: 83-85). But as revealed in the verse, because people
