Abstract


Kajian berkenaan asal-usul kosmos telah menjadi perhatian ramai sarjana Islam mahupun Barat di mana keduakeduanya mengetengahkan aspek cahaya. Cahaya dianggap sebagai sifat asas dalam sejarah perkembangan kosmologi untuk menjelaskan kewujudan alam semesta. Walau bagaimanapun, muncul persoalan mengenai ontologi cahaya, sifat asasnya dan rahsia metafizik di sebalik fenomenanya. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dan membina satu kerangka model baharu dalam menerangkan Teori Kesatuan Kewujudan Cahaya dalam memahami makrifat kepada Allah SWT dan Nabi Muhammad SAW dalam perspektif sufi, dan dibandingkan dengan perspektif sains Barat iaitu Teori Letupan Besar. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan reka bentuk grounded theory, kaedah tematik analisis dan pendekatan lataif Qur’aniyyah. Terdapat perbandingan yang signifikan antara kedua-dua kosmologi yang diketengahkan dalam model ini. Perbahasan konsep Cahaya Muhammad (Nūr Muhammad) yang mewakili kosmologi Sufi telah lama menyelesaikan persoalan asal-usul kosmos dalam kesepakatan ilmu akidah dan tasawuf. Manakala kosmologi Barat masih menemui jalan buntu dan keliru dalam memahami asal-usul atau primordium alam dengan menggunakan rumus sains dan aksiom yang sesuai dengan logik akal tanpa melihat apek keTuhanan. Dalam kajian ini, satu model perbandingan holistik antara konsep Nūr Muhammad dan Teori Letupan Besar telah diharmonikan dan dirangka dalam memahami lima fasa peringkat kewujudan alam semesta menerusi perspektif kosmologi cahaya. Dengan itu, kajian ini memberi perspektif baharu dalam memahami peringkat kewujudan makhluk.

Abstract


Studies on the origin of the cosmos have attracted the attention of many Islamic and Western scholars in which highlight the aspects of light. ‘Light’ had been thought of as a fundamental property in the history of development cosmology to elucidate the existence in the universe. However, questions have been raised about the ontology of light, its underlying properties and the metaphysical secret lies beyond its phenomena. The objective of this study is to analyse develop a new model framework on explaining the Unifying Theory of Light Beings in understanding the of Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad PBUH in Sufi perspective and comparing it with Western science perspective i.e. the Big Bang theory. This qualitative study uses grounded theory design, thematic analysis of research method, and lataif Qur’aniyyah approach. There are significant differences between these two cosmologies incorporated in this model. The Light of Muhammad’s debate in which represented by Sufi cosmology has settled the understanding of origins of the universe in the agreement of the aqidah and sufism. Meanwhile, Western cosmology is still hit a dead end and confused in understanding the primordial issues of nature by using science and axioms that fit their logic without seeing Divine aspects. In this study, a comparative holistic model between these concepts has been reconciled and devised in understanding the five levels of existence through the perspective of the light cosmology. Thus, this study provides a new perspective on understanding the gradation of beings.
