The Informational Universe of Allah: An Islamic Perspective on Quantum Information Theory

preprint OA: closed CC-BY-4.0

Abstract

This scholarly inquiry initiates a nuanced exploration into the Islamic conceptualization of _Allah_ as ‘_Al-Aleem_’ (the All-Knowing) and ‘_Al-Khabir_’ (the All-Aware), postulating a reconciliation wherein Allah is identified as the quintessential Intelligence and truth. _Allah_’s attributes of divine omniscience and ubiquitous awareness underscore a divine understanding enveloping all of existence, positioning Him as the epitome of All-Information. This paper delves into the intersection of Islamic theological constructs and modern information theory, proposing a novel interpretation that aligns _Allah_’s divine omniscience with the theory's principles. Information theory posits that the foundation of all information is inherently probabilistic, mirroring the probabilistic outcomes observed in quantum mechanics. This seemingly contradicts ‘_Al-Qadar_’, an All-Knowing Allah's predetermined will or predestination. However, we can bridge this gap by considering _Allah _as the embodiment of all information. This paper facilitates a richer understanding of _Allah_’s predetermined will in Islam and builds bridges with the randomness and unpredictable nature witnessed in the quantum world. This research aims to augment _Allah_ as the Infinite Information through an interdisciplinary lens, bridging quantum indeterminacy and Islamic Omnipotence. This quantum-religious interface reconciles quantum information theory with Islamic theological constructs.
