Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)<br />
n the section related to timelessness, we mentioned<br />
that all our information is in the memory. All the details<br />
pertaining to one's life, everything one sees,<br />
hears, knows or feels are bits of memorized information.<br />
So are our sensations about time. Now, we will deal with<br />
the concept of memory more fully.<br />
The Limited Memory of Man and the Endless<br />
Memory of Allah<br />
As mentioned in the preceding pages, we rely on our five senses<br />
to live. We perceive only what our senses allow and we can never<br />
succeed in stepping out of the boundaries of our senses. The time<br />
and space we live in is similarly perceived. If our brain cannot detect<br />
a being through our five senses, we simply say that that being<br />
has "disappeared." Accordingly, for us, events, images or sensations,<br />
which are stored in our memory, exist, i.e., they are alive,<br />
while those that are forgotten no longer exist. To put it another way,<br />
beings and events, which are not in our memory, become past<br />
events for us; they are simply dead and non-existent.<br />
Yet, this holds true only for human beings; that is because it is only<br />
human beings who have a limited memory. The memory of<br />
Allah, on the other hand, is superior to everything. It is boundless<br />
and eternal. Yet one point deserves mention here: the concept "the<br />
memory of Allah" is used only for clarification purposes. It is definitely<br />
unlikely that any comparison or similarity could be drawn between<br />
the memory of Allah and the memory of a man. Allah is surely<br />
the One Who creates everything from nothingness and Who<br />
knows everything down to the last detail.<br />
Allah introduces Himself in His book through His attributes.<br />
One of them is al- Hafiz (The Preserver), "He Who preserves all<br />
things in detail". Behind this attribute, there are very important hidden<br />
mysteries.<br />
