Extistence & Meaning :
A multidimensional Appoach
Introduction
The program aims to teach a unique method that enables one to derive certain character lessons from scientific knowledge. It is based on the assumption that ideology-free science and authentic, Divinely-revealed knowledge do not contradict each other, as they both come from the same source. It assumes that the universe is an eloquent book, replete with meaningful signs. It considers pure science to be an excellent way of revealing the Divine signs which make up the book of the universe. However, it claims that most modern scientists do not know how to ‘read’ the book.
Analytical Thinking
Studying the universe through science after filtering the embedded secular ideology.
Analogical Thinking
Using analogy to compare and contrast human-made objects with natural objects and events for better understanding
Critical Thinking
Engaging in critical thinking through questioning to find out the ultimate reality behind the natural objects and events
Meditative Thinking
Reflecting on the interconnectivity, complexity and benefits of natural objects and events to know about their Maker.
Moral Thinking
Reading the universe as the most meaningful book and deriving moral lessons from scientific studies of natural objects events.
The program will present the ‘five-dimensional (5D) thinking approach’, inspired by a Muslim Scholar Said Nursi’s mana-i harfi method of reading the book of the universe. Participants will gain a new understanding of scientific knowledge through 5D thinking which comprises: 1) analytical thinking; 2) analogical thinking; 3) critical thinking; 4) meditative thinking; and 5) moral thinking. The 5D thinking approach is expected to function like 5D glasses, showing multiple dimensions of reality and wellbeing.
