In a Tradition from the Imam about this verse, he says, “Does God not say a pillar without a pillar being seen?
The narrator says that in response to the Imam, I said, “Yes.”
He said, “Thus a pillar exists but you do not see it.”
Can an analogy simpler than this be found to express this to simple Arab people?
In a tradition of Hadrat ALi we read: “These stars which are in the heavens are cities like cities on earth and every city is connected to another city by a ray of light.”
Scholars today, among the astronomers, believe that there are millions of stars which are inhabited with living creatures but the details of this are still not known.
