INDEX

This book uses traditional ontological approaches especially that of Mulla Sadra to interpret
the physical world and its connection with God and Angels in order to give answers to a lot
of basic questions about this world and life. The following are some of such questions this
book answers logically in a simple to understand way:
Is this World a reality or just an illusion?
What is the true reality of Space and Time?
Is Space really limitless and what are the reasons for its limitlessness?
Does Time really exist or does it only appear to pass in our minds?
Is this World created by itself or by a supernatural being called God?
What is the Proof of Gods existence?
Do Angels also exist? And how?

How did God and Angels create this World?


Do God and Angels affect the daily events of this world? and how?
Where are God and Angels located?
Why man cannot see God and Angels?
What is the Purpose of the Worlds Creation?
Does Man have a free will? And is God the source of evils in this World?
Will this World continue to exist for ever?
This book contains rare and uncommon material as this book reawakens an ancient
paradigm that has been lost by humanity long ago. This material may be very useful for
philosophers, theologians, spiritualists, cosmologists and other researchers as well as for
general inquisitive readers.
