The Necessary Oneness of Reality and God’s Encompassing Will: A Contemporary Grounding of Monist Ontology

This article aims to re-ground ontological monism through the thesis of the All Encompassing Nature of Allah’s Will. Proceeding from the inference that Reality is logically and necessarily one (monistic), it is asserted that Reality is from the essence (zât) of Allah. While clearly maintaining the distinction between the Creator and the created, this ontology argues that created beings require a necessary reality in order to exist, whereas Allah possesses this in His own Essence and is therefore not bound by anything. All realms and our universe are sustained by Allah’s will. The article posits that matter is a condensed state of Will and that time operates on the plane of the "Eternal Now" (Nunc Stans). Asserting that all realms such as Heaven, Hell, and the Earth exist as different perceptual modes (Hardware Difference) within a single Reality, this model brings a contemporary approach to existential issues.
