In this way, our quest to uncover the secrets of the universe will continue. Additionally, we will once again resume our “Time Travel” series from where we last left off—the era of Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him).
Today’s episode is a special one, a full hour long, as per your requests. I’ve put a lot of effort into making this a memorable finale for you.
Before we dive in, a quick announcement: I now have official accounts on Instagram and TikTok. You can find the links in the description below. I created these accounts because, in my absence, some individuals were creating fake profiles in my name, with some even posing as my manager to deceive people. I cannot tolerate my family—and I consider you all my family—being misled. To ensure you’re always connected with the real me, please follow these official pages.
I’ve received over five thousand messages across various platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and email. Believe me when I say that if it were humanly possible, I would reply to each and every one of you. I don’t have a team; I work alone. Even if I did, responding to such a volume of messages personally would be a monumental task.
However, I will do my best to answer as many of your messages as I can. Please don’t be disheartened if you don’t get a reply; it’s simply a matter of capacity. I consider you my family, not just fans, and it pains me not to be able to respond to everyone personally.
Now, let’s begin today’s episode, where we have a lot to learn and explore.
Today, I’m assuming you’ve seen the previous episodes to understand the context of the new information I’m about to share. I also hope you have a basic understanding of Surah Al-Kahf, as it’s central to our discussion on Gog and Magog—a topic I’ll be delving into with some unique insights you may have never heard before.
Finally, I hope you share my deep love for this magnificent universe created by Allah, as today’s discussion will touch upon portals, the cosmos, wormholes, and other wonders.
Let’s start by revisiting a point from our last episode about water and fish. As I mentioned, if there were any loose ends, I would address them in the next installment. One such example is the connection between Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), water, and fish. Pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you.
One night, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had a dream. He saw a man of wheat-colored complexion, exceptionally handsome, circumambulating the Kaaba. His hands were placed on the shoulders of two other men, and water was dripping from his hair, which he kept wiping away. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was told, “O Messenger of Allah, this is Jesus (peace be upon him).”
This information is found in two different hadiths in Bukhari. Now, I am going to share with you a powerful piece of information extracted from four different hadiths in Bukhari, Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, and Musnad Ahmad.
First, water was flowing from the hair of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). Second, drops were also dripping from his hair. Third, his hair appeared wet, but it wasn’t. In fact, a hadith in Musnad Ahmad states that the wetness of the water didn’t even reach his hair.
Now, let’s move forward. According to a hadith in Musnad Ahmad, when Jesus (peace be upon him) returns, he will distribute wealth like flowing water.
But the truly fascinating information is about another person present in the Prophet’s dream. In the same dream where the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw Jesus, he also saw another man—a man with a reddish complexion, a stout body, curly hair, and a right eye that resembled a swollen grape. This man was observing Jesus secretly. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was told, “O Messenger of Allah, this is the Dajjal (the Antichrist).”
Pay very close attention. A hadith in Musnad Ahmad states that when the Dajjal appears, the word “Kafir” (disbeliever) will be written between his eyes. He will descend at every watering place and every spring, and with him will be two rivers of water. I am narrating the exact words of the hadith. With him will be two rivers, the reality of which, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “I know better than the Dajjal himself.”
The Dajjal will call one river Paradise and the other Hell. As soon as he sees Jesus (peace be upon him), he will begin to dissolve like salt in water. He will dissolve like water. The hadith says that at that moment, even if Jesus were to leave him, he would perish. But still, Jesus will kill him, and people will see the Dajjal’s blood.
Let’s analyze all this information. Water drips, flows, and pours from the hair of Jesus (peace be upon him), yet his hair is not wet. The Dajjal watches him secretly, and he will descend upon every source of water on Earth. He will also carry two sources of water with him, which he will call Paradise and Hell. And when the two of them—Jesus and the Dajjal—come face to face, the Dajjal himself will dissolve like salt in water.
You see, the Dajjal wants to imitate Jesus in every way because the case of Jesus is very special. Both are destined to return, and the Dajjal will also claim to be a messiah, just like Jesus.
But the case of Jesus is more special than that of the Dajjal because when he was born—and this is a very important hadith—the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that whenever a child is born, Satan touches him with his two fingers, which is why every baby cries. But when Satan tried to touch Jesus (peace be upon him), there was a veil between them, and Satan only touched the veil.
It appears that from the very beginning, Allah had placed Jesus (peace be upon him) in a special protection, a kind of veil, in which he lived. And why? Because he was to be raised to the heavens alive. He had to travel to the heavens in his living body and remain alive for the next two thousand years.
It appears that Allah has placed him in a protective veil filled with some kind of water that has sustained him through all these extraordinary events. What kind of water? No one knows. It can’t be H2O. It might be the water of life, for all we know.
But it can’t be H2O. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said his hair would not be wet, yet water, shining like pearls, would be dripping from it. It appears he is inside a protective layer filled with water, which has sustained him during his journey to the heavens, his journey back from the heavens, and his long life of two thousand years.
And the Dajjal wants to copy this protective layer of Jesus. So that he, too, can attain a form of permanence, so that he can also travel to the heavens, using those paths filled with water that Jesus used to ascend to the heavens and then return. That’s why he was secretly observing Jesus. That’s why he will have two rivers of water with him, which he will call Paradise and Hell. And that’s why, upon seeing Jesus at the place of Lud, he will start to dissolve in water because it appears that at that moment, he will be trying to enter a protective path filled with water, but it won’t work for him.
That protective layer of water, which Satan couldn’t even poke at the time of Jesus’s birth, that protection which Satan couldn’t cross to touch Jesus, is exclusive to Jesus. That’s why it won’t work for the Dajjal. And that’s why, in that water, unable to withstand its power, he will start to dissolve like salt. This part about the salt is also important, and I will come back to it later.
It will be his desperate move to escape from Jesus. But that move will also fail because the Dajjal will not be able to survive in that path, in that water, in that portal. And that’s why the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that at that time, even if Jesus leaves him, he will die on his own. But still, Jesus will kill him, in such a way that people will even see his blood.
That is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that the two rivers he has, they are indeed rivers. They are with the Dajjal, but “I know their reality better than the Dajjal.” He has those rivers, but he doesn’t know exactly how they work. That’s why he will be confused about those waters, those rivers. What he thinks is Paradise will turn out to be Hell, and what he thinks is Hell will actually be Paradise.
He wants to obtain those paths, those waters, that protection which was given to Jesus (peace be upon him) because the case of Jesus is very special. He is still alive today. He has been alive for the past two thousand years. And the Dajjal is one of the biggest arrows in Satan’s quiver. And just think, what did Satan use to fascinate Adam (peace be upon him)? To entice him? A long life, an eternal life. No wonder the Dajjal, with a long life, would want to copy Jesus. He would want to be called a messiah. He wants to be a Christ with an eternal life.
Shall I tell you something else that will surprise you? You all know about Ibn Sayyad. He was a boy who lived in Medina, and the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) plus the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were doubtful about Ibn Sayyad. They were in doubt whether he was the Dajjal. Because his actions were very strange. Ibn Sayyad used to hear things in his sleep. He would mumble, talking to himself strangely.
To the point that when the Prophet (peace be upon him), Abu Bakr Siddiq, and Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them) once passed through a street together—now imagine, for their time and for all time until the Day of Judgment, three of the most elite people—when they were passing through a street in Medina, all the children playing in the street scattered and hid, but not Ibn Sayyad. He stood there, staring at the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet asked him, “Ibn Sayyad, who am I?” And in return, he asks the exact same question, “Muhammad, tell me, who am I?”
Once, he was sleeping among the palm trees, mumbling and talking to himself. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) hid among the palm trees to observe him, to see what he was saying. Suddenly, his mother shouted, “Saf, get up!” (Saf was Ibn Sayyad’s real name.) She said, “Saf, get up, Muhammad has come.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to his mother, “Why did you do that? Why did you wake him? Today I would have known his reality.” And then the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, “Saf, what did you see?” And do you know what his answer was? Water. He said, “Muhammad, I saw water and a throne upon it.”
Water, the Dajjal, and Jesus (peace be upon him) have a very special connection. And all three of these characters are somehow connected to the paths of the sky. We know about Jesus that he will return through the waters. We know about the Dajjal that he will tamper with the paths filled with water. That’s why Khidr (peace be upon him), who lives in the waters, will also come into our world at the time of the Dajjal. This entire topic was discussed in the previous episode.
But besides all these characters connected to the paths of the sky, there is one more thing that is connected to the paths of the sky, and that is fish. And what I am about to tell you now is a story that has received very little attention. This story is in Surah Al-Ma’idah, verse 112. And in this verse, just see how Allah speaks.
“And when the disciples said, ‘O Jesus, son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven?'”
So at first, Jesus (peace be upon him) made them fear God. He told them to fear Allah. “What kind of things are you saying?”
But when they kept asking him from time to time, poking him, then Jesus (peace be upon him) got up, bathed in water, wore a black garment, and started praying. To the point that people saw drops of water appearing on his face. His face started to get wet. The drops of water were dripping from his hair and the ends of his beard. And then people saw that suddenly, from the sky, between two clouds, a wrapped, hidden tablecloth was descending. And what was on it? A fish.
A fat, fresh, roasted fish with no bones. You could still see fresh oil on it. Near its head was vinegar, near its tail was salt, and around it were vegetables, except for the smelly ones like ginger and garlic. And besides that, there were three loaves of bread. On one loaf were olives, on the second were dates, and on the third were pomegranates.
When this tablecloth descended, everyone suddenly fell silent. They had only asked for it, but the food had actually descended.
Among the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon him), there were four disciples named Simon. So the most senior Simon spoke in a very soft tone, “Jesus, did this food come from heaven or from this world?” And Jesus replied, and this answer is very important: “This food is neither from heaven nor is it from this earth.” I will explain what this means shortly.
Jesus (peace be upon him) said, “Eat it and do not ask so many questions.” So Simon spoke again, this time in an even quieter voice, “Jesus, we are in doubt about this feast. Can you show us one more sign?”
Upon this, Jesus (peace be upon him), without giving any further answer, picked up the fish in his hand, and the fish came to life in such a way that it was as if it was writhing. Its eyes started to roll. And at that time, all the people standing around him (peace be upon him), all of them stepped back in fear. And then Jesus (peace be upon him) said, “You people keep asking for sign after sign, and when Allah shows you a sign, you retreat in fear.” And then he put the fish back, and it became just as it was before.
This story continues, and I will narrate it to you now, but wait for a minute and think carefully. Jesus (peace be upon him) stands to pray, and suddenly signs of the presence of water appear on his face, which clearly indicates that some kind of path filled with water is about to open. And then suddenly, from the sky, that thing is sent down which lives in water—a fish. A roasted fish.
A fried fish with salt, exactly like the one that was present in the story of Moses and Khidr. And exactly like the Dajjal who will also start to dissolve in water like salt at the place of Lud.
Salt, water, and fish, which Allah made a sign. A sign that exactly at that place, in the waters, some portal, some path was going to open. Exactly like a path opened here and that feast descended from the sky, about which Jesus (peace be upon him) said that it neither came from heaven nor is it of this earth. Which then means that this fish came from some other world. It is a creature from another land, another earth, that came out of the water with salt.
Okay. Now, back to the story. Imagine. The whole of Jerusalem is silent at that time. All the people are standing silently, looking at Jesus (peace be upon him), wondering what kind of strange fish has descended. That when Jesus touches it, it comes to life. Now those people are also scared. They are not even touching the fish out of fear. So they say to Jesus (peace be upon him), “Jesus, you eat it first.” But Jesus (peace be upon him) also replies, “No, he who asked for it should eat first.” But then when Jesus (peace be upon him) sees that despite saying this, no one is coming forward, everyone is standing dumbfounded, just looking at the fish. So Jesus (peace be upon him) called out to the poor and disabled of Jerusalem, and then they, fearfully, started to eat that fish. And Salman the Persian (may Allah be pleased with him) says that 1300 people, 1300 people ate their fill from that fish, but they were seeing that despite being eaten, the fish was exactly as it was when it descended from the sky. And not only that, but the people who were eating it and moving to one side were feeling much better than before. They started to feel much healthier and more refreshed. And in some other narrations, it is even mentioned that whoever ate from that fish that day, no disease had any effect on them until they died. But the people who were standing apart from those poor people were standing on one side, watching them eat, and were in a state of extreme surprise and doubt. To the point that they once again started to doubt the reality, the authenticity of this fish. And they once again asked Jesus (peace be upon him), “Jesus, tell us the truth, what is the secret of this fish?” So Jesus (peace be upon him) also then said that you people demand a heavenly meal from your prophet. Allah sent down His provision and His mercy upon you. Allah showed you His sign, and you started doubting it. And after this, they were severely punished, and their forms were then disfigured. And in the morning, those who doubted were found searching for filth in the garbage heaps.
But this story continues further. Abu Shaykh has taken another narration from Imam Aufi (may Allah have mercy on him). That every kind of taste was coming from the meat of that fish. Whatever taste you wanted to feel, it would immediately be felt in its meat. Now, a part of the people in Jerusalem was disfigured, that is, those who were doubting. But the people who were eating from that fish, a kind of fear also arose in their hearts that what if we eat it today but we don’t get a chance to eat from it again. And under this greed, some of them started to steal the meat of that fish and put it in their pockets and their clothes in such a way that Jesus (peace be upon him) wouldn’t see it. But Jesus (peace be upon him) had another miracle which is written in verse 49 of Surah Al-Imran: “And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. By the permission of Allah.” And thus, Jesus (peace be upon him) came to know of their act of stealing meat. And thus, they once again hurt their prophet’s heart, and for this reason, our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that if the Children of Israel had not existed, no food would have spoiled. If the Children of Israel had not existed, then no meat would have spoiled.
You may have heard this hadith before, but perhaps today for the first time, you are hearing its context with this amazing story.
Okay. I just told you that a group of those people was disfigured. Their forms were distorted, changed. I will also tell you about their forms. Hazrat Thabit ibn Wadi’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) was an Ansari companion, very fond of hunting. He would often go into the deserts for many days to hunt. So he says that one day, we brought an iguana to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Iguana is called goh in English. And it is a creature found all over the world. But it has more than 30 species, and out of these 30, only one species is found in Arabia. So Ibn Wadi’ah says that we brought an iguana to the Prophet (peace be upon him). So he picked up a small stick of wood and with that stick, he started counting the iguana’s fingers. And then he said, “This is the nation of the Children of Israel that was disfigured and then turned into animals.” Then he (peace be upon him) did not eat it himself, but he did not forbid anyone else from eating it either. And this punishment was given for denying the creature sent by Allah, that creature that was sent into our world after crossing the paths of the sky filled with water upon the prayer of Jesus (peace be upon him).
But after crossing the paths of the sky, besides fish, is there any other creature that we can find? And here begins the story about which I said at the beginning that to listen to today’s episode, you must have a basic knowledge of Surah Al-Kahf, because this story is about Dhul-Qarnayn and the creature called Gog and Magog.
Imam Ibn Abi Hatim and Imam Ibn al-Anbari have written a story in their book Al-Azamah. You might have heard this story before. In fact, I’m sure you have heard it superficially. But today, for the first time, I am going to narrate this story to you with its original reference.
Ibn al-Anbari (may Allah have mercy on him) writes in his book Al-Azamah that once Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was in the valley of Mina when suddenly he heard a voice where a man was lovingly calling his son, “O Dhul-Qarnayn, O Dhul-Qarnayn.” So Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called that man to him and asked him, “First you people used to name your children after the prophets. How good it was. But now you have started naming your children after an angel?” Meaning, in simple terms, Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to consider the Dhul-Qarnayn of Surah Al-Kahf an angel that Allah had sent down to the earth, just as He often sends angels to the earth. The story of Harut and Marut is before all of us, meaning those two angels who were sent down in Babylon. And then upon those angels in Babylon, a very dangerous form of magic was revealed. If I get a chance, if I get an opportunity, I will tell you about Harut and Marut inshallah. But if you can, please watch my Dhul-Qarnayn series, because in it, I have presented a lot of information about all three of Dhul-Qarnayn’s travels for your service. Now obviously, I’m not going to talk about all three travels here because our main topic is not Dhul-Qarnayn and his journeys, but our main topic is those paths of the sky, the knowledge of using which Allah had given to Dhul-Qarnayn.
Now, after using these paths, the first land that Dhul-Qarnayn reached, the first planet, the first ardh, the first world he reached, we learn about that place from a Tabi’i, Wahb ibn Munabbih (may Allah have mercy on him). And I am simplifying his words for you. He says it was a world where a creature more advanced than fish lived, a creature named Fask. A large gathering of people like us, whose sun was dying. People of different temperaments, different desires, and speaking different languages. Again, details are in the Dhul-Qarnayn series.
Then the second world Dhul-Qarnayn reached, a nation named Mansk lived there, a creature that had reached a stage where their race was about to end. They could not escape the sun, they were victims of the worst kind of skin cancer, they were deformed. Their faces were like dogs, even their teeth. Once again, for more details, watch the Dhul-Qarnayn series.
But then the third place Dhul-Qarnayn reached, he was complained to about a creature named Gog and Magog, “O Dhul-Qarnayn, we are very troubled by them.” And those details that they told Dhul-Qarnayn about Gog and Magog, the people told Dhul-Qarnayn that, “O Dhul-Qarnayn, some of them look like humans, and some look like animals. They eat grass, and they also eat meat. But they eat meat in such a way that a beast devours with its claws. All the insects of the earth, no snake, scorpion, or any living being is safe from their evil. O Dhul-Qarnayn, no creature in the world grows as fast as their population grows. Whether it’s a male or a female among them, they look the same. But their height is half that of a human. O Dhul-Qarnayn, where we have nails, they have large claws. Their bite force, their ability to bite, is many times greater than ours. And when they are eating, a strange, terrifying sound comes from their mouths, as if an animal is growling or a rasping sound is coming from a throat. They have so much hair on their bodies that they are able to hide themselves with it. One of their ears is so big that they can lay it down under them, and the other ear is so long that they can then cover themselves with it. And their favorite food, besides fish, what is their favorite food? You probably won’t even believe it. Placenta. I’m sure you know what a placenta is. And then among those three, there are 22 more categories. All of which those people told Dhul-Qarnayn, what the other 22 categories look like, and what their habits and behaviors are. Now, you can imagine for yourself that when they told Dhul-Qarnayn that Gog and Magog were troubling them, “build a wall for us,” Dhul-Qarnayn didn’t just initiate such a huge task just because they said so. I can imagine that he must have thoroughly analyzed this situation. I can imagine that at some point in the night, in a tent, Dhul-Qarnayn had many meetings with those people, where all those primitive people sat before Dhul-Qarnayn and told him about Gog and Magog and their kinds. And when I made the Dhul-Qarnayn series, the information about all these 22 kinds was included in that series. And that’s why the series had a total of 17 episodes, of which I had to terminate the series after releasing only 10 episodes. But all this was the information that after hearing, Dhul-Qarnayn also thought that it’s better not to fight them, but to close the mouth of this cave, this portal, that goes into the earth and opens into the world of Gog and Magog. And so, this story is told in that surah in which 75% of the stories told happened in caves. And that’s why the name of that surah was also named Surah Al-Kahf, meaning the cave.
The series was terminated at that time, but if a new season is ever made on Surah Al-Kahf, inshallah, I will give you all that information which the companions and the Tabi’in have given about Gog and Magog. That information which very few people discuss with you today.
After crossing the paths of the sky, the creatures we have seen so far—fish, Gog, Magog, Fask, Mansk, Habil, Qabil—were all of them creatures, all of them primitive? Meaning, in simple terms, more close to an animal rather than human? I don’t think so.
Look, Allah has made this universe very, very big. Now I will tell you a story, and this story is not written in any history book, but it is a true story that happened only 15 years ago.
What happened was that in 2009, NASA sent a mission into space: the Kepler mission. It was a large telescope, and its purpose was to find other worlds wherever they might be in the sky. For four years, the Kepler telescope scanned 150,000 different stars. And what was it basically looking for? Something that, in the language of science, is called a “transit.”
I’m telling you in very simple terms. A star is bright and shining, just like our sun. But sometimes, the moon comes between us and the sun. So what do we call such an event? The transit of the moon, or in other words, a solar eclipse. And what happens during this? The sunlight on the earth decreases, right? The moon blocks that light, and it becomes known that something has come in front of the sun. That’s it. The Kepler telescope was working on this very simple principle. It would look at stars, and whenever the light of a star dimmed, Kepler would understand that something was orbiting around that star. Some moon or a world like Earth is orbiting.
Kepler used to call this dimming of starlight “dips.” And if a very large world, 11 or 12 times bigger than our world, for example, a world as big as Jupiter, passed by, then the starlight would dip by only 1%. Only 1%, no more.
But in 2009, a star, whose name in the language of the Kepler mission is KIC 8462852, something passed in front of it that was so big that the starlight dipped not by one, not by two, but by a full 15%. A 15% dip was very surprising. Our world can’t even cause a half-percent dip. A 15% dip was very surprising.
But this was just the beginning because the real strange events were yet to happen. Two years later, another dip occurred in front of the same star or in its light. And this time, it wasn’t even 15%, but a dip of more than 20%. And what was even more surprising was that sometimes the dip would be less, sometimes more. Sometimes it would last for a few hours, and sometimes for three months. No one could understand what was happening. What kind of world was this that was orbiting KIC? Was it a world, or was it something else?
And at this point, NASA—and you probably won’t believe this—NASA asked for help from 300,000 people from all over the world. People like you and me. Amateurs. Who didn’t have any NASA-level degrees. But they had just one thing: a love for exploring this universe just like us. Those people who had a passion for looking into the deep spaces. NASA took help from them, started a project, “The Planet Hunters.” And told them, “This is the data we got from Kepler. You people verify it, observe KIC with your own telescopes, and see what is happening there.”
But no one could understand what was happening there. What kind of land is this? What kind of creature is this that can have such a strange and bizarre world? What kind of creature is this that could have built these strange structures around that star?
Yes, this was also a serious theory put forward that around KIC, a creature like us but very advanced would be living, which has built such large engineering structures around its sun so that they can use the full power of their sun, just like we also try to do. Hundreds of viewers among you will have solar panels on their houses, which try to harness its power from the sunlight. So one theory was that there might be a creature living there that has built large solar panels around KIC, which are in motion around that star, revolving, and causing dips in its light from time to time.
And another theory, the second theory says that it is also possible that two very large worlds are inhabited around KIC, which have destroyed each other. And what we are seeing today are the broken, large, revolving pieces of those worlds that have been destroyed while orbiting that star. But if this is true, if someone was there, then they probably perished thousands of years ago. Because KIC is 1500 light-years away from us. Meaning, the destruction and the debris that we see there now, that happened 1500 years ago. Whereas if this story of two creatures fighting is really true, then that fight probably happened and ended hundreds of thousands of years ago, about which we know nothing.
I’ll tell you a very interesting thing. You know, there was a Russian scientist, Nikolai Kardashev. He proposed a very amazing scale, which I once shared with you all in the chapter on the creation of angels. Nikolai said that the least developed civilization in this universe, mathematically, will only know how to use the resources of its own world. For example, humans, who are still centuries behind in fully utilizing the resources of their own world. Except for fossil fuels, that is, besides petrol and gas, what is our main energy source? We haven’t even properly explored the resources of our own world yet.
But a civilization more developed than us will, at least, know how to use the resources of its own world perfectly, which will be called a Type I creature. But a more advanced civilization, a more advanced creature, besides its own world, will also know how to use the power of its sun. A Type II creature. The people living around KIC are probably, it’s an estimate, probably a Type II creature.
Then, a more advanced creature will know how to use the power of its entire galaxy. A Type III civilization. An extremely, extremely advanced creature, that the work, the signal sending, that takes us several weeks, this creature can process and send that data in just three seconds. And for this reason, for this reason, the energy demand of this creature will be so high that at some point, perhaps after thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, that creature will have drained all the resources of its entire galaxy, consumed them. It will have used up its resources. And then its galaxy will also be plunged into darkness, of which I give an example like this:
It’s as if you have used every light in your house to such an extent that now, one by one, all your bulbs, all your lights, all your chandeliers have fused. And now your whole house is plunged into darkness. Similarly, at some point, the galaxy of the Type III creature will also be lost in darkness. The same story of every rise having a fall.
And today, we have seen such a darkness in many places in this universe. In many places in this universe, there are large sections of darkness, voids, for which there is apparently no reason why there is such a cruel darkness there. Why? Suddenly, a section of the universe begins where neither a star is visible nor a world. For example, if you live in Pakistan, to the west, you will see a cluster of stars that is called the Bootes constellation. And in the direction of this Bootes, at a distance of about 700 million light-years from us, there is such a magnificent darkness. The Great Bootes Void. From one end of which to the other, if you start walking—and by the way, I’m talking about walking at the speed of light, because at this scale, our running or walking on foot means nothing—if you start walking at the speed of light, you will wander in that magnificent darkness for the next 165 million years. But nowhere will you see a star or a world. And the theory says that these magnificent darknesses, this great Bootes Void, could be the home of a Type III creature that was born at some time, all of whose lights have been used up, consumed. Where at one time that creature lived, which, after using all the resources of its galaxy, abandoned it forever, darkened it. No one knows who lived there. No one knows where they went. We are just like an innocent child who is looking at the starry night sky and wondering if anyone lives there or not. But do you know that today, after Type I, Type II, and after Type II, Type III creatures, now Type IV, Type V, and Type VI creatures are also being discussed? A Type VI creature that is free from the needs of these worlds, these suns, and these stars, these trivial things. Such creatures that if they open their wings, one wing will be in the east and the other in the west. Such a creature that can go from the throne to the earth and from the earth to the throne in the blink of an eye. Such a creature that, with its 600 wings open, stands near the Lote Tree, and as soon as it feels the presence of its Lord behind the veil, at that very moment, with its 600 wings open, that creature falls into prostration right there.
I am not naming names, but you know who I’m talking about. The ultimate civilization, whose power our scales cannot measure. This creature is completely beyond our understanding. But there could be a creature that we might be able to understand. In the 9th century AD, a scholar from Iraq, a very great scholar, Ibn Abi al-Dunya, who was the teacher of Ibn Majah and the Caliph al-Mu’tadid Billah, their tutor and their mentor. A very great hadith scholar of his time, he narrates a very surprising story. He says that no one knows how many creatures Allah has created. But listen, in the west, there is a land whose whiteness is its light. There lives a creature of Allah that has never disobeyed Him for a single moment. Hearing this, the people were very surprised and asked, “Is there Satan among them?” He said, “They don’t know about Satan.” Now the people were even more amazed and asked, “Are they human?” So he said, “They don’t even know about the creation of Adam.” The secret of the KIC star, perhaps we will never know. Because when Dr. Tabitha published her research paper on KIC, after that, Kepler was busy with other missions, engaged. Dr. Tabitha and her team’s funding ran out, and now they are hoping for help from the private sector, that someone will fund their research so they can continue their research on KIC. I can understand how painful the lack of funds is for their research work. But imagine if we find other stars like KIC? Or if we never find another star like KIC again? You and I are just like that innocent child who is looking at the starry night sky and just trying to understand who is that magnificent being who created all this. Here my series on the secrets of the universe concludes. I had a lot of fun making this season. And inshallah, now we will once again go to that beautiful period of history where our time machine used to take us in every episode. In the “Time Travel” series.
