Metaphysical Impact of Concealed beings on Man: A Thematic Study in the light of the Qur’an

Abstract

The two worlds were made by Allah swt the physically visible world and the metaphysically invisible realm according to Muslim Theology. The unseen ‘Al-Ghayb’ means the things that cannot be perceived by the five senses or hidden or concealed from the human eye. Some modern Muslim theologians have the misperceptions concerning the ‘unseen creatures’ and their consequences or influences on humans mentioned in Quran which guides that these ‘unseen creatures’ may lead man towards the disturbance in the human nature as well as assistance to the man which effects man’s life. To belief in ghayb is the central element of Muslim’s belief. Invisible beings are made in the world entities that are invisible to the human eye be present in a world that is parallel to the physical world. The Qur'an and the literature of the Hadiths both feature stories about these creatures. The present study's focus is on determining whether the nature of invisible beings is good or evil, as well as how they interact with the physical world. Unseen creatures make people’s devastation and spoil their hearts and thoughts too to ruin their selves. There are invisible creatures that contribute to make man’s life and assist during the course of man’s life. The importance of studying the invisible beings is such that Allah SW addressed its final revelation due to its significance and impact on human beings.
