In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Assalamu Alaikum. In a previous episode, we discussed déjà vu and the hidden worlds that exist in other dimensions. Astonishingly, you all loved that episode immensely. Right now, that episode is being watched more than any of my other episodes. In it, we explored, through the lens of the Quran, Hadith, and scientific research, what hidden worlds might exist in other dimensions.
After that episode, I received dozens of emails from you, all with a similar request: “Furqan, please make another episode about dimensions, but this time, focus solely on the tenth dimension.” Honestly, reading your requests brought a smile to my face. I knew that once you caught a glimpse of the tenth dimension, this three-dimensional world would no longer hold the same appeal for you.
A Note Before We Begin
Before we officially start this episode, if you haven’t seen the previous one, I highly recommend you watch it. That episode contains a fascinating discussion about all the dimensions. Today, however, our focus will be solely on the most powerful and largest dimension—the tenth dimension.
The Hidden Worlds Around Us
Imagine you are sitting alone in a room. Besides you, there is no one else present. But do you have any idea that in that very room, besides you, there are many other worlds? And by the way, I’m not talking about the world of bacteria. Bacteria, those tiny organisms, are present on your skin and all the walls of the room. No.
I am talking about the worlds of living, breathing creatures within that room. For instance, from the Quran and Hadith, we know that besides you, there are some angels present in that room—at least ten angels who are assigned to protect you. Then, there could be jinn and even devils.
But you cannot see any of this. Then, after the Quran, science tells us that in that room, besides you, there are trillions of tiny particles that neither our eyes can see nor our ears can hear. No machine of ours can detect them, and they cannot be seen in any way. We only know of their existence through the mathematical equations and models of this universe. Yes, they exist, and we can call them gravitons because these particles transport gravity from one place to another. But still, no machine of ours can detect them. So, in this room where so many things exist besides you—gravitons, jinn, devils, angels—why can’t we see anything? Where is all this hidden?
The Concept of Higher Dimensions
The answer lies in higher dimensions, behind those veils that are drawn between different dimensions. Scientists say that there are at least ten dimensions in this universe, of which we can only see three. Therefore, all the dimensions above this technically become higher dimensions for us. You and I, we live in three dimensions, which means if I have to travel from Islamabad to Lahore, I have to cover a distance of 300 kilometers in five hours. But if I were in the tenth dimension and wished to go somewhere, my wish would be fulfilled in an instant.
In the tenth dimension, the concept of time ceases to exist. There is no delay, no waiting. In the third dimension, if I want to read a book, I first have to go to a library, search for the book in a specific section, and then spend time reading it. But in the tenth dimension, if I want to read something, all the knowledge of that book will instantly be absorbed into my heart. With the closing of my eyes, all the chapters of the book will be embedded in my heart.
In the third dimension, if I want to eat my favorite fruit, I first have to wait for winter, then go to a fruit stall to buy oranges, and then eat them. But in the tenth dimension, the moment I wish for it, I will feel the pleasant taste of oranges on my tongue. Their cool and fragrant juice will be felt descending my throat. This is a small glimpse of what it feels like to live in the tenth dimension.
The Barriers Between Dimensions
But reaching this dimension is not that easy because between the tenth dimension and ours, there are many veils. And these veils are of many kinds. Some of these veils are visible, while others are hidden within veils themselves. Now, one by one, I will surely give you information about those veils.
First, the veils that we know we cannot see because they are very clear physical veils. And the first of these is the veil of light, the electromagnetic spectrum.
Did you know that we, humans, can only see 0.003% of the entire light spectrum? That is, only a tiny fraction of the actual light. Our eyes can only see the colors that are between red and violet, that’s it. We are shielded from seeing the light that comes before and after this range. We know that light exists before red, and we know that light exists after violet. But no matter how hard we try, we can’t see it.
This is because our, that is, human eyes have only three types of cells that can see the primary colors: red, green, and blue. And then these three colors combine to create millions of shades of colors. But let me tell you an interesting fact, an additional piece of information: this veil exists only for humans. For some animals, this veil does not exist at all. For example, in the oceans, there is an animal called the mantis shrimp. Its eyes have not three, but sixteen types of cells for seeing basic colors. This means that the mantis shrimp can see those lights that our eyes and minds can’t even imagine. It is very possible that a mantis shrimp can see those creatures that exist in higher dimensions, which are completely veiled from our eyes. In fact, there is such a case. Not about the mantis shrimp, but about the rooster, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that it can see angels. And about the donkey, he said that it can see the devil. In other words, these animals can see a glimpse of other dimensions.
So, this was one veil. The second veil is the cosmic horizon. This is a veil that prevents us from seeing the entire universe. Let me explain with an example. At this time, which is 10:30 at night, if you go to the roof, you will see hundreds, or perhaps thousands of stars in the Pakistani sky, depending on where you are and how clear the weather is. But if you look with a powerful telescope towards the south, you will see a faint blur. This is called JADES-GS-z14-0. And this is the final frontier that we can see. The places beyond this are in complete darkness from our eyes because the light from the places beyond it has not yet reached our world. As of August 2025, this place is the final frontier for human sight. There are places beyond this, but for now, they are hidden from us behind a cosmic veil, the cosmic horizon.
Then there is another veil called the event horizon. You all must have heard of black holes, those giant black monsters roaming in this universe, into which entire galaxies fall and disappear. And where they go, we currently know nothing about that. Around these black holes, there is a kind of boundary, a veil, which is called the event horizon, from where nothing has ever returned. The event horizon blocks us from seeing what is inside a black hole. It does not let the light come out, so we cannot see what happens after falling into a black hole. This event horizon of a black hole is an actual physical veil that does not let the light come out. But I just remembered another example. The human ear can only hear sounds that are between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. We know that there is sound below this frequency and above this frequency, but we cannot hear those sounds. This is also a veil between us and them.
You know, in biology, there is a term used: cell membrane. It’s a very thin, delicate membrane that wraps around our cells. This membrane not only gives the cells a shape but also decides what can enter it, for example, water, oxygen, and some nutrients, and what cannot enter, for example, toxic substances or large molecules. This membrane is a masterpiece of nature that, like a very intelligent guard, decides what can pass through it and what cannot. And from here, a very amazing concept in physics emerged: that just like this thin membrane, our universe also has some veils called branes, which keep different dimensions separate from each other. The things of one dimension do not normally go into another dimension because of these veils. This membrane, this veil, separates each dimension from the other. And why can’t we see it? Because our senses are very limited. We cannot see all the lights. We cannot hear all the sounds. We cannot see beyond a certain limit in the universe.
Yes, if we could see all the lights, then perhaps we would also see these veils. A kind of boundary, the borders of different worlds, universal frontiers that separate each world from the other. Unless a door opens in these veils, in these membranes. You can call these cosmic membranes a kind of filter that prevents us from peeking into other dimensions. For example, during astrophotography, when I have to take a picture of a distant nebula or a galaxy, I put a filter on my telescope, which is called a narrowband filter. With this filter, you can also see those colors of the galaxy that you cannot see with the naked eye.
Similarly, if these veils were present in front of our eyes, the world would look very different. And when they are lifted, the whole world would change for us in an instant.
So far, these were the physical barriers, the veils that we know exist physically. But then there are some veils that are non-physical or immaterial barriers. We obviously can’t know about the existence of these veils from any experiment because they have not been seen in any laboratory in the world. But through deep study of philosophy and religions, we can recognize the existence of those veils.
For example, the Quran mentions several veils that separate different worlds from each other. For example, in Surah Al-Mu’minun, verse 100, it is mentioned that when someone dies, they go beyond a veil called Barzakh. I will explain this veil and Barzakh in detail, Insha’Allah, later. But in short, this veil separates the worlds of the living and the dead.
Then, in Surah Al-Kahf, verse 22, there is a mention of a veil that Allah Himself will remove on the Day of Judgment. And as soon as that veil is lifted, everyone will see everything clearly.
So, these are some immaterial veils about which we currently know nothing about how they would look because Allah has completely hidden them from us.
But if we go back to the physical veils, then a question arises: can we cross those veils in any way? Can we somehow open a window or a door in those veils through which we can peek into another dimension? The answer is yes. There are some ways through which the veils between two dimensions can be moved to some extent.
The first is that somehow a portal or a wormhole is opened between two dimensions. Wormholes and portals, once considered science fiction, have now become an established fact. We have equations that describe wormholes or portals, what their shape and size would be. The only problem remaining is that our current technology, our engineering, is not yet capable of producing that much energy to open the mouth of that portal.
But interestingly, the mouth of portals can be opened by things other than scientific technology. I will tell you about that, Insha’Allah, in this or maybe the next episode.
But before that, there are some things on which we also need to perform a reality check. See, our body is designed to work in three dimensions. Therefore, if we pass through this portal, it is very possible that the entire molecular structure inside our body will collapse. This is exactly like trying to see a 2D photograph in a 3D world. For that, you will have to change the entire physics of the photograph. So, this will be the biggest challenge for our body: how to stabilize the atoms and molecular structure of our body.
Similarly, any body that passes from another dimension into our dimension through a portal will also have to change its structure and design. And now, I will give you a very amazing example. In Majma’ al-Zawa’id, there is a hadith where the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) once said to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “Aisha, if I wish, the mountains will walk with me, made of gold.” This is a very famous hadith. But today, I will tell you the context of this hadith. And you must listen to this very carefully.
Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on that day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was actually sitting in a place, and Gabriel (peace be upon him) was with him. Suddenly, the horizon of the sky split open. And by the way, I am quoting this narration to you in the exact same words as Ibn Umar narrated it. He says that suddenly the horizon of the sky split open, and an angel came down from it and descended to the earth. The angel’s some parts entered into other parts. Ibn Umar is narrating this, that it shrank. And then he appeared in a different form in front of the Prophet (peace be upon him). And after greeting, he said, “O Messenger of Allah, Allah has sent me to you with this choice: if you wish, you can be an eternal prophet, and if you wish, you can be a king-prophet.” Upon which, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) looked at Gabriel (peace be upon him) as if he was seeking advice. So, Gabriel (peace be upon him) said softly, “O Messenger of Allah, choose to be a servant-prophet.” And after this incident, the Prophet (peace be upon him) told Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), “Aisha, if I had said that I wanted to be a king-prophet, the mountains would have walked with me, made of gold.”
But did you pay attention to a very specific detail of this hadith? That first, the horizon of the sky split open, meaning the sky was torn, or a gap opened in it. And from that gap, an angel came out whose some parts entered into other parts, meaning it shrank. That is, some parts of his body disappeared. Some parts went back into the body. For example, if he had wings, they retracted, went inside the body. In short, some kind of heavy transformation took place. And that angel, who came out of the gap in the sky, that is, through some portal, some wormhole from a higher dimension into our lower dimension, had to completely change his biochemistry to be visible in these three dimensions. His some parts had to enter into other parts, he had to shrink. So, whoever crosses that veil, first has to change his biochemistry, his entire molecular structure of the body. And then begins a journey towards a higher dimension.
And since I have to talk specifically about the tenth dimension, first we have to see where the tenth dimension actually exists in this universe. And to see that, we will use our most favorite methodology, the Fourth Layer of Understanding.
See, in the tenth dimension, everything will be possible. Every possible universe, every amazing physics, complete freedom from time, no limits, no boundaries, unlimited perfection. And one thing that will surely be seen in the tenth dimension is light.
Did you know that if all the colors are mixed together, what color is formed? White. Similarly, in the tenth dimension, since all the smaller dimensions should be there, it is necessary that every beautiful light is also there. This dimension will never be dark.
And now, I am going to present to you some Quranic verses on which we will then apply the fourth layer and see. First, I will apply all four layers to one verse of Surah Hud, so that you can understand how things are understood in layers. And then, for the remaining verses, I will only explain the fourth layer.
Surah Hud, verse 123. The first layer to understand this is its translation, that is, what is actually written in it. It says, “And to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth, and to Him return all matters. So worship Him and rely upon Him. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.” The unseen things of the heavens and the earth, the knowledge of them is with Allah alone. And all matters return to Him. The heavens and the earth, all the matters that are hidden, that are in the unseen, all of them return to Him and are unified. A grand unity. The joining of all matters at one source, exactly like it happens in the tenth dimension, where there is no space, distance, or direction. Everything returns to one source. And what is this one source? We get that from Surah An-Najm, verse 42: that the end of everything is towards your Lord. An ultimate return to the one source.
Then, Surah As-Sajdah, verse 17: “And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes.” That is, first I will describe not the first three, but directly the fourth layer. That beyond human intellect and knowledge, there is a reality in which there is an abundance of peace and perfection. But all of that is hidden, man cannot see it. It is beyond his knowledge. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Then, Surah Ali ‘Imran, verse 133, where the size of Paradise is mentioned, that it is as wide as the heavens and the earth. That is, a place that has no border. A limitless grandeur, a grandeur, a limitless grandeur, exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Then, Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 71: “And therein is whatever the souls desire and what delights the eyes.” That is, a place where every possible scenario and every possible possibility exists. Whatever you can desire, whatever you can think, without any kind of flaw, will be present there. Perfection with limitless possibilities. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Then, Surah Al-Mutaffifin, verse 23: “On thrones, they will be observing.” Towards which direction will they be looking? Not forward, not backward, not up, not down, but free from any direction, “yanzurun,” they will be looking in every direction. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension, where there is no direction, but everything is visible in every direction, every direction is present at once.
Then, Surah Muhammad, verse 15: “In it are rivers of water unaltered, milk of which the taste never changes.” That is, a place where there is no lack of anything. But still, nothing can decay there. There can be no chaos. Despite having unlimited treasures, where there will be balance and unparalleled beauty.
Then, Surah Al-Infitar, verse 13: “Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure.” That is, a never-ending happiness, an endless bliss. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Then, Surah Az-Zumar, verse 73: “And it will be said to them, ‘Peace be upon you; you have become pure.'” That is, they will be given a purity that has no impurity in it. The elimination of every kind of flaw, the attainment of perfection. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Surah Hud, verse 108: “They will be given a reward that has no end.” An eternal reward, which has no end. No end, no conclusion, no decay. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 35: “For them therein is whatever they wish, and with Us is more.” That is, in Paradise, there is every choice, every outcome, every impossible is also possible. Whatever they can wish for, whatever they can think of, without any kind of flaw, will be present there. This statement of Allah in this verse, “and with Us is more,” shows that there is something even greater than the tenth dimension that Allah will grant there. Allahu Akbar.
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 31: “They will be reclining on thrones therein.” The meaning of reclining on thrones can be taken literally, that the people of Paradise will actually be reclining on thrones. And it is also understood as a sign, a symbolic meaning, that there is no effort there, no struggle. An effortless ease. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Then, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 25. This is a very important verse. “Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, ‘This is what we were provided with before.'” They will be given fruits resembling one another, but every time the taste will be different. Notice how this बात is talking about the unfolding of a new reality every time. How a new possibility is being created every time. Countless realities, innumerable realities existing at the same time. If you eat that fruit a billion times, a billion times a new reality of a new taste will unfold upon you. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
Surah Al-Hijr, verse 46: “And it will be said to them, ‘Enter it in peace, safe.'” That is, no fear, no turmoil, no possibility of any kind of failure or fear. A limitless peace. Exactly as it happens in the tenth dimension.
The tenth dimension exists in this universe at least in that place where Allah has kept those darkest gardens.
But from here on, I will tell you about those places where there may be wonders beyond the tenth dimension. And more than that, what kind of creatures might be living in those wonders. And the amazing thing is that all of this we will find out from the fourth layer of understanding of the Quranic verses.
And then will come that amazing part: what are those worlds where Allah has kept these wonders? I assure you, I promise you, that the beautiful definition of Rabb al-‘Alamin that you are about to hear, Insha’Allah, will literally amaze you.
