Salaam Saturday - Unseen Dimensions

Al-Ghaib is an Arabic expression used to convey that something is concealed (unseen). It is an important concept in Islam, encompassing not only the realm of the divine, including angels, paradise, and hell, but also future events, which only God knows.

Spatial dimensions and unseen reality, important in both science and religion, are areas that have perennially fascinated human beings.

The human race lives in and perceives a three-dimensional world, but the existence of at least one additional (unseen) dimension continues to intrigue humankind.
