Persons Of Visions

In the Bible it is said that God created Man in his own image.
In the Quran it is said that God taught Adam all names, and God teach the humans what they did not know.
Science talks about evolution from ice and stone age to our time..

According to science... it took humans thousands and may be million of years to develop, adapt, invent and be civilized.

The questions that may be asked.
What was the first invention, how and by whom?

Me, I do not have a clue...
But I strongly believe that that there was no first invention...
All inventions came together with humans when they were created and put on Earth and probably other Planets.

Well may be not the full thing...
May be some little knowledge, then certain special Persons gave help to develop the basic knowledge that made the great Science.

I believe that these special persons are Persons with Visions.
Call them Messengers, Prophets, Inventors, Scientists, Philosophers, Thinkers...
Call them anything you want... They are the persons who paved the way to all the civilizations we know and see today.

I strongly believe that Science and Technology started with the beginning of days.... then it were lost.

Many disasters came on Earth, which wiped everything from its surface.
History, Religion and Science can confirm this.

Let us go back to what the Bible and Quran.said.
God created Man in his image..
What does this mean?

For sure God image must be perfect because he is God.
Perfect Image may not only shape.
It may be Shape and Contents.

And if this so...
Then Man should be perfect in shape and content, but because Man ages and dies .. therefore Man is not as perfect as God.

However, if Man has the brain to know ... Then Man already knew knowledge at time of his creation..
This is what the Qur'an confirms..
God taught Adam all names...
Meaning the knowledge of everything.
God taught Man what he did not know before...
Thus, God taught him.. And Man became knowledgeable ..

So what went wrong, that we see history tells us that Man was nothing but a Monkey shape creature... with no knowledge? Then later evolved to become civilized and in the shape we know today!
I think what went wrong is that the Humans forget by time all knowledge they had before.

Lets go to the beginning, when people on Earth were very few ..
Religious books talk about Enoch or Idris... In the Quran he is the one that God raised him to a high place or rank.

Idris - Enoch

Patriarch, Prophet, Messenger;
Recipient of the Divine Names, Knower of Divine Mysteries, Father of the Philosophers, Prophet of the Philosophers, Axial Prophet

Muslim scholars believe that his Quranic name Idris came from "Dirasah" which means study or education, and God revealed 30 short booklets (suhuf) to him that contains all basic rules of teaching "everything".
Some scholars say that God made Enoch know many languages, so that he could teach every people in their own language.
In the Booklets it is written that God gave him the knowledge of science and Astronomy, and that he was the first to invent medicine, and the first to establish the rules of City planning, Irrigation and Agriculture systems, Architecture, Engineering, Tailoring, and the first to invent Weaponry, Shields, Glassware etc.... It is even said that Prophet Enoch built the two famous pyramids of Egypt.

After Idris cam Noah and the Wrath of God that brought the flood which erased most lands together with all the existing knowledge

Then civilizations started grow slowly, and some "selected persons" started to invent things.
The question is; why those persons were/are "selected" and how they came to know what other persons could not know?

Honestly, I do not think that any one has an answer, however I believe that that those "selected persons" are selected by God to "see" what other persons are not able to see ... Those persons are "Persons of Visions" (الهداة).

The Quran says that in every group of people or community God made one of them a Person of Visionس.

This Person of Vision is not necessary a religious person teaching about religion .. but could very much be an Inventor, a Doctor, a Scientist, a Thinker, a Philosopher, a Writer, a Poet, an Artist, a Politician, a Messenger, a Prophet .... But every one of those persons is given a gift to give the world something new.

If not, how persons like Newton, Galileo, Edison, Bell,  Al Razi, Al Khwarizmi and many others, came with their discoveries that shook the world, created new lines of civilizations and solid basis of science that evolved to reach what have reached so far of Scientific knowledge and high technology.

Al-Khawarizmi 

Father of algorithm and algebra

Those Persons had and are still having the Visions; to see what others cannot see, and do what others cannot do.

Why ?? really no one can claim that he knows.

But I also believe in the theory dreams; that dreams are part of our unknown lives.
Every person dreams, but those Persons of Visions, they dream differently ... They dream the dreams that can become true ..

Those Persons of  Visions dreamt about light, sounds, space ships, Algorism, Medicine, Astronomy, Physics equations, chemical formulas, Industrial Machines, Construction Equipment, Navigation and Irrigation systems, Radios, TVs, Telephones, Recorders ...
You name it they dreamt it and made it become true.

Why them? Why they are different? Why they have visions? How they dream? What different brains they have?
Go Figure!

But you might by now believe as I do believe, that we are are recollecting the knowledge that we lost after our creation, and there are still "Persons of Visions" making their dreams becoming true every day .. and that every day we have a new scientific discovery or development that is bringing us closer to the image that God have made us of, when we were created.
