Allah Most High Himself. As He said, „None knows the hosts of thy Lord
save He‟ (Koran 74, 34). Man‟s information about the world is by means of
perception; and every perception of perceptible is created so that thereby
man may have some acquaintance with a world sphere from among
existence. By „worlds or spheres‟ we simply mean „classes of existence‟.
The first thing created in man was the sense of touch, and by it he
perceives certain classes of existents, such as heat and cold, moisture and
dryness, smoothness and roughness. Touch is completely unable to
apprehend colors and noises. These might be non-existent so far as
concerns touch.
Next there is created in him the sense of sight, and by it he apprehends
colors and shapes. This is the most extensive of the worlds of sensible.
Next hearing is implanted in him, so that he hears sounds of various kinds.
After that taste is created in him; and so on until he has completed the
world of sensible.
