Main wo Nuqta hun jo Be ke neechey he.

The progress of the modern science has made it easier now to

understand the full import of the things said 1400 years ago.

In Roman language, Nano means the digit “9”, in which the

first digit “1” is called Mono, the digit “2” Di, the digit “3” Tri and
so on, similarly the digit “9” is called Nano. The term “Nano
Technology” is derived from this word Nano. Nano-Technology
aims at making smaller and still smaller machines replacing the big
ones.

The concept of Nano technology explains the new nano

model car introduced by Tata-India. The stress is on smaller size
and better efficiency. We can take the example of a tiny insect like
mosquito. Allah cites the example of the mosquito in the Holy
Qoran, “Indeed Allah is not ashamed to refer to the tiniest insect
like the mosquito or even smaller than mosquito” (Surah Al Baqar-
Ayat Number-26).

Let us have a look at the special structure of the mosquito.

Latest research tells us that this tiny mosquito has got 100 eyes, 48
teeth and 3 hearts which work simultaneously; it has got a trunk to
suck blood. It consists of 6 needle like capillaries used for different
purposes. It has got 6 wings. It is capable of seeing in the dark by
using its infra red rays. It benumbs the spot in the human body
before it pierces the flesh. Human feels pain not because of the
piercing by the trunk but because of the blood sucking. The
mosquito sucks only the kind of blood it likes and it does not
accept other kinds of blood. In addition to this the mosquito thins
the blood before it sucks it because human blood is too thick for its
tiny capillaries. This tiny mosquito creates such a high frequency
sound over the human body that it wakes the man up. This buzzing
sound comes from the high vibration of its wings. It is no less than
a miracle of nature that such a tiny insect performs a very complex
system of actions to breathe, to fly, to suck blood and so on.

It shows that a very small machine can perform very great

functions. This idea is at the root of “Nano-Technology”. Scientists
are engaged in research to find out how to make smallest machines
that occupy smaller space, less material and yet perform big
functions.

In the past we had big radios, Tvs and computers etcetera.

But today the trend is towards smaller sizes of machines. The
future belongs to Nano-Technology. Today we can store vast data
in a small flash drive for which we needed a large number of
registers, files, floppies and CDs. Now you keep the flash drive in
your pocket or put it in your small key ring.

It is interesting to note that all matter in the universe is made

of tiny atoms which can be called particles (some scholars
interpreted “Zarrah” in Holy Qoran as Atom). Atoms have been
broken into 60 sub atomic particles, i.e. Electron, Proton, Neutron
and positron etcetera. We are still unable to define the meanings
and nature of “Zarrah” mentioned in the Holy Qoran. How can we
then understand the exact meaning of the Hole Holy Quran? It is
probably one of the reasons of the creation of different sects
among Muslims.

The scientists agree on the point that it is possible to break

the sub atomic particles further into smaller ones. The universe
consists of various planets, constellations of stars, galaxies and
black holes. They say that the universe is still expanding. In other
words we can say that we do not know the extent of the universe.
The fact is that human intellect is yet not able to comprehend the
tiniest or the biggest in the universal creation. We know neither the
beginning nor the end of the universe. How can we understand the
knowledge, power and might of the Creator, of the universe,
Allah?

And we believe that Allah, the Creator, gave this knowledge

to His apostle, Mohammad (Swallallaho Alehe wo Aalehi
Wasallam). Allah says in the Holy Qoran, “It (Holy Quran)
contains all knowledge about things on land, in water or in the sky
and in between”. (Surah Hud, Ayat number-6). The Prophet
(Saww) says, “I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate”.
Ali(Alehissalam) says that “The Prophet taught me knowledge as
mother bird feeds its little one”. According to him (as) the Qoran
revealed to the Prophet(saww) contains all knowledge of the
universe. The essence of the Qoran lies in Surah Al-Hamd (Al-
Fateha); the essence of the Surah Al-Fateha is contained in the
word Bismillah; the essence of Bismillah is contained in its first
letter “Be”; the essence of “Be” finally lies in its Point which is
under the letter “Be”. Ali(as) says that he is the Point under the
letter-Be”. So he(as) exerted people to learn knowledge from him
before he was no more among them.

We know that it is probable that human mind might make

machines even smaller then the flash drive which may store
limitless data. When the human can create machines storing
limitless knowledge, how can it not be possible for the Creator to
vest all knowledge in a Nuqta, POINT, Ali(as)?

Surely He can
