Divine Inspiration

The inspiration for the presence of the supreme power continues to pervade the space of human thought. This inspiration is refreshing like the rain that soaks and refreshes the dry land. Classical human thoughts and ideas on the existence of the supreme power can be proven by humans who are always trying to find Him who is Supreme. Since humans began to worship animals, trees, spirits and polytheistic gods, until finally they found Allah Almighty in a strictly monotheistic concept.

Humans are creatures that can never be separated from material and material values ​​and ideas. The idea of ​​matter puts all its will into physical and sensory forms, as well as rational. It consists of biological ideas which of course have biological intelligence. At the same time man is also formed from the idea of ​​immateriality. He who moves in a transcendental circle, that he has the capacity to be able to feel the movement of the intuition and also the spiritual soul within him. It is not enough with intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence, even biological intelligence, but humans also have the ability and spiritual intelligence.

That man is not a pile of flesh, bones and blood that walks and thinks. It is also a unit of will power that feels, is able to feel the attraction and overflow of intuition as well as metaphysical spiritual movements. Whereas man, which consists of material structures for which he moves and thinks, is at the same time an immaterial structure and for that he is able to feel, he also always puts the wills of Divine spiritualism in him. Whereas in the cosmological space that he lives in, man is never able to completely break away to be able to get rid of the divine idea in himself.

This transcendent will of divine relation is not merely a utopian wish, but it can be demonstrated by a story of both death and life. Humans who wander and walk the earth, basically keep trying to reveal their existence before nature. He keeps asking about the nature of himself in front of the universe, for what does he exist and why does this universe exist? A classic question that is still being asked today. Such a question is of course not about obtaining an advantage that can be valued in money, because it is of no value and for that it cannot be judged of course. This classic question tries to reveal an idea both physically and metaphysically. A question whose answer may lie in every molecule of natural objects.

The resulting answers seek to satisfy the deepest human will to make humans move forward from one point of civilization to another point of civilization. The cosmological space that seems to stretch out gives millions of questions to the curiosity of the deepest human existence. In the search for all the secrets of the universe, metaphysical concepts are always involved in uncovering the truth. That a supernatural power is believed to be a controlling force over humans and the universe. The movement of the universe is not a movement of cosmic objects freely, but a process of obeying a supernatural law.

A Supreme power that controls all the movements of cosmic objects is believed to be the ultimate will (cause first). This Supreme Power is always sought after by His existence, He who is hidden behind the veil of human experience of empiricism. Man feels his presence, and he moves all his rationality to reveal the presence of the Adi Nature, this is where humans begin to put the ideas of spiritualism in their minds. The power of the Supreme Being is believed to be the Supreme Idea, it is the one that pervades the universe, while humans are only a phenomenon for the presence of this Supreme Idea.

Implications of Divine Inspiration

The Divine Value now enters the macro and micro cosmos, that He does not depend on this universe both macro and micro but everything that is cosmic is so dependent on the Supreme Idea, namely Allah. That everything that exists is determined by His existence, and not by the existence of this world. He envelops everything, that there is no space that is not enveloped by Him. Humans as a form of microcosmic existence become a phenomenon for His presence. That humans are not only a sign (sign) to His presence, but also everything other than Him to be a sign of His presence.

Every human will that is enveloped by His ideas becomes natural, that in every movement of human action man always places Him. That man, with all the values ​​and human identity that exists in him, receives a new challenge: the divine value. That the whole human being who has been enveloped by Him has lost his own identity. That it is not him that moves his whole soul, but a Supreme Idea in man, God.

Now Divine Inspiration has enveloped, then what it does, move and move. The will of Allah which has enveloped oneself will determine that it is not he who steps, it is not he who sees, not he who hears, it is not man who speaks, but He who steps, sees, hears, and speaks. That he was enveloped by Him, and with this he tried to get rid of all the bad sides that were in his soul. Now there is only the light side of goodness and truth, because He is the center and source of all goodness. Himself was so filled with His goodness and light. It suppresses optimally all the components of darkness that fill the whole substance.

Man needs to get rid of the ego, suppress all the will of his human ego, that the ego which has controlled him is now slowly being suppressed by Divine ideas and values. That only Allah wills and controls him. He put His light into him, and this is no easy feat because of the strong pull of the world. Man is light, because he comes from the Light above the Light (Qs.[24]: 35). In a Hadith Qudsi Allah states:

“I am the hearing with which he hears and the sight with which he sees and the hand with which he strikes and the foot with which he walks.”

Man is now trying to absorb God’s light, he is trying to have a dialogue with Him, and trying with all his strength to always be with Him. That he saw a will of God in the universe. He stepped away from the darkness and ran towards His light, that was not himself because he was not even anything. Man realizes how insignificant he is, even this universe before Allah.

Man is only a manifestation and a sign (sign) from His existence, man does not exist, because human existence is only a set of egos. This is the will of the human ego’s value that wills. Willing to dominate, to subdue, to achieve, to gain, to control. Divine space exists in humans, but it is always empty or we are empty. Now we try to pour back the divine light into the space of the human heart. God. This is the implication of understanding Divine Inspiration, when all divine ideas enter the heart, this value inspires every movement. Humans realize that they are nothing, nothing. Humans are nothing and meaningless before Allah the Almighty. Allah says:

“So (actually) it was not you who killed them, but Allah killed them, and it was not you who threw when you threw, but Allah threw. (Allah did so to destroy them) and to give victory to the believers, with a good victory. Lo! Allah is Hearing, Knowing. ” (Qs. [8]: 17)
