When taking an interactive workshop about Iqbal studies, a lot of questions were raised that day when discussing about harmonies between science and religion. Like others, I thought that "How is it possible to just think the two words at the same time; Science and Religion?"

After some days, I was taking a lecture on Development Economics. During the discussion, our teacher said a sentence which was mere a sentence for others but more than that for me. He said "Science is originated from Philosophy."

Every thing has some limitations, Science also has. So we can say that those problems which are not being solved by Science can be solved by Philosophy. Plus there is also a possibility that it may describe the procedure of creating harmonies between Science and Religion!

And Iqbal was a philosopher.

Now at least I can think the two words at the same time! :)

Rumi, Iqbal and Me

Original version can be found here

The only problem in conversion of matter into energy is the speed of light. According to Einstien:

We can convert any object into energy, if we throw it or move it with
the square of speed of light.

The reason I am discussing this point is due to Iqbal's travelling in space, which he has discussed in his great book "Javednama"

The question arises here is: Can a person travel into space without being converted into energy? Because it is a universal law that one can not travel all alone in space without destroying his body(our body can not confront very very high energy).

If he converted himself into energy, then how come his body not be destroyed? The only thing which came in my mind after reading upon this incident was Imagination. It is possible that we can use our imaginations to convert them into energies.

We can't say that they are faster or slower than the speed of light, because we don't have such instrument to measure them, but we know that light takes 8 complete minutes to travel to Earth as compared to our imaginations, which take less than 1 second to create the whole scene(think that you are looking from sun towards Earth, it will take you approx. 1 second to imagine)
