al-khala'
Void

(Al Khala').The void is that place where the cosmos takes shape. The earth is the limit of the Void and the utmost limit of density and darkness. The whole cosmos, within the Void, is forever descending in search of its centre. This search is the search for knowledge and this centre is the place of rest, after which there is no more searching. Such a rest as this is impossible because the search for knowledge is endless. The object of the search, Allah, has no end, so there is no rest, ever!!
