Since the beginning of civilisation, humanity has endeavoured to comprehend the universe. Some have sought answers through religion, others through science, and still others through philosophy. However, as we delve deeper, it becomes increasingly evident that science, mathematics, philosophy, and spirituality are not in opposition but rather manifestations of the same underlying truth. This article examines the influential thinkers and scientists from various civilisations, Islamic, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Persian, to illustrate how their discoveries, equations, and philosophies are interwoven within a singular cosmic harmony.
Small sources and information according to science and religion:
I. The Foundation of Science and the Horizon of Spirit
Albert Einstein: The Equation of Creation. Einstein’s renowned equation is "E = mc²". He revolutionised physics and our comprehension of existence. It was unveiled that **mass and energy are two manifestations of the same essence; every particle of matter contains immense energy within it. From a spiritual viewpoint:
- In Islam, this aligns with the ayat of Al-Quran "كن فايكن" which translates to "Be to be", representing the divine act of creation from energy into form.
- In Christianity, God’s Word brings the universe into being.
- In Hinduism, Brahman expresses the cosmos through divine energy.
- In Judaism, creation commences with light.
- In Zoroastrianism (the Persian religion), the belief in fire and light symbolises God’s creative power.
Therefore, the overarching connection is Einstein’s equation, which can be interpreted not only as a physical truth but also as a sacred metaphor for creation itself.
Al-Khwarizmi: The Mathematics of Divine Order
Al-Khwarizmi gave humanity “Al-Jabr” (algebra), and it means “algorithm”.He turned mathematics into a universal language of logic and proportion to a reflection of divine order. His concept of “Sifr” (zero) is more than a numeral. It symbolises the bridge between existence and nonexistence, the void from which creation begins. In the Hindu and Islamic cosmology, the idea of “zero” as both emptiness and potential aligns with modern cosmology’s “Big Bang”, the universe emerging from nothingness.
Such as Omar Khayyam:
The Persian Islamic mathematician, astronomer, and poet embodied the harmony between science and art. His geometric insights and lyrical verses reveal that the universe itself is built on balance and proportion. In religion and philosophy:
Islam calls this “Mizan”. It means divine balance. Christianity calls it “harmony ”.Hinduism calls it “Rita”; it means the cosmic order. In Judaism, balance is “Tzedek”, which means righteousness. Khayyam’s poetry and geometry both remind us that truth and beauty are one.
Srinivasa Ramanujan (The Messenger of Infinity)
Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan believed his equations were “messages from God.” He is known as The Messenger of Infinity. His work on infinite series and numerical patterns opens windows to the infinite, the meeting point of zero and eternity.
In Islam, Allah’s knowledge is infinite (unlimited).In Hinduism, Brahman is both zero and infinity.
In Judaism, “Ein Sof” means the Infinite represents God’s essence. In Persian Sufism, the “Light (Nur)” symbolises divine wisdom. Ramanujan’s mathematics thus becomes a form of prayer and a direct conversation with the Infinite.
Aryabhata: The Cycle of the Cosmos
Aryabhata is one of India’s greatest astronomers. Who discovered the rotation of the Earth and introduced the concept of π (pi)? His view of the cyclical, balanced universe resonates across cultures.
In Islam, it reflects “Ilm al-Kawn”, its knowledge of the cosmos. In Hinduism, the eternal “Brahma Chakra” means cosmic cycle. In Judaism and Christianity, the divine laws that keep the heavens in motion.
Chanakya: The Mathematics of Governance
Chanakya’s “Arthashastra”(Economics) defined the science of governance, strategy, and ethics.
He revealed that a society’s strength depends on the balance of wisdom, morality, and power. This triad mirrors:
The Islamic concept of “Shariah” (law and balance), the Biblical idea of justice, the Hindu “Dharma”, the Jewish “Torah” law, and the Persian “Asha”, the path of truth and righteousness.
(خليفة) Umar (RA) and (خليفة)Ali (RA): Justice and Inner Wisdom
Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) stood as the symbol of justice and reform, while Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) represented wisdom and illumination (Nur al-‘Ilm). Together, they show that social balance must be rooted in spiritual wisdom, that law and light must coexist to sustain civilisation.
II. The Greek Pillars of Rational Knowledge
Euclid: The Architect of Logic
Euclid, the father of geometry, gave structure to mathematical reasoning. His geometry expressed the divine architecture of creation, space, and proportion, revealing the mind of the Creator.
Archimedes: The Philosopher of Balance
Archimedes ' principles of buoyancy and levers show the eternal rule: “balance sustains power”.
His famous saying, “Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth”, echoes not just physics, but faith: with the right principle, even the impossible becomes possible.
Herodotus: The Historian of Human Destiny
Known as the father of history, Herodotus saw history not merely as events, but as moral lessons. In Islam, history is a sign (ayah) of God’s will. In Hinduism, it repeats through ‘karma’ and ‘dharma’.In Christianity and Judaism, it unfolds as God’s providence.
Eratosthenes — The Measure of the World
Eratosthenes calculated the Earth’s circumference, a triumph of reason. His work shows that to measure creation is to understand God’s order. Mathematics thus becomes a form of devotion, the pursuit of divine proportion.
III. The Synthesis of Civilisations
Across the ages, the torch of knowledge has passed from one civilisation to another, from the Vedic seers of India to the mathematicians of Babylon, from the philosophers of Greece to the scholars of Islam, and from there to the scientists of modern Europe. Though separated by language, culture, and faith, these civilisations were all engaged in the same divine quest: to understand the hidden unity behind the visible diversity of creation. The discoveries of Aryabhata in India, who revealed the cyclical rhythm of the cosmos, found a strange harmony with the insights of Al-Khwarizmi in Baghdad, who gave mathematical form to order and symmetry. Omar Khayyam, both poet and geometer, transformed these abstractions into the living rhythm of beauty and proportion, while Euclid in Greece had already laid down the foundations of geometry, the very grammar of divine architecture. Ramanujan, centuries later, would reawaken the ancient intuition of infinity, showing that the laws of numbers are not merely inventions of the human mind but eternal truths written into the structure of the universe itself. Einstein, with his famous equation E = mc², then revealed that even matter and energy, the substance of existence, are but two forms of one essence, echoing the mystical proclamation of all religions that the universe is One.
In the realm of ethics and governance, Chanakya of India and the Caliphs Umar and Ali of Arabia represent another aspect of this synthesis, the meeting of intellect and morality, of justice and wisdom. Chanakya’s Arthashastra, a masterpiece of statecraft and economic reasoning, is balanced by Umar’s reforms that built an empire upon fairness, and Ali’s luminous philosophy that merged law with compassion. Together, they demonstrate that civilisation cannot endure on intellect alone; it must be guided by the light of conscience. The Greeks, too, contributed their portion. Herodotus, the father of history, taught that knowledge of the past is the key to moral understanding, while Eratosthenes measured the Earth itself, symbolising humanity’s desire to comprehend the divine order through precision and observation. From the deserts of Arabia to the libraries of Alexandria, from the temples of Nalanda to the observatories of Persia, human beings have always been weaving the same pattern, a tapestry of logic, spirituality, and beauty, each thread shining with the light of its own culture yet belonging to one universal design.
What emerges from this great continuum of thought is the realisation that the equations of science and the revelations of faith are not rivals but reflections of one reality. Zero and infinity, as explored by Al-Khwarizmi and Ramanujan, represent the twin mysteries of existence: the nothingness from which the universe begins and the boundlessness into which it expands. Geometry and harmony, cultivated by Euclid and Khayyam, display the symmetry through which divine intelligence manifests. Energy and matter, united in Einstein’s formula, mirror the spiritual unity proclaimed in every sacred scripture: “Be, and it is.” Justice and wisdom, embodied by Umar, Ali, and Chanakya, sustain the moral order of the world, while history and measurement through Herodotus and Eratosthenes preserve the memory and proportion of creation. The sum of these contributions forms not a mosaic of separate truths but a single, radiant vision: from number to light, from thought to faith, from science to spirit, all lines converge toward one infinite centre. Thus, the synthesis of civilisations is not merely the blending of cultures; it is the rediscovery of a forgotten truth that the entire universe, from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy, is a mathematical and moral harmony, a sacred geometry of light woven by the eternal hand of the Creator.
IV. Conclusion in the One Law of Light
Science explains ‘how’ the universe works. Religion reveals ‘why’ it exists. Philosophy teaches ‘how’ we may understand it. Together, they form the three dimensions of human enlightenment. Zero{0} symbolises the beginning of being. {E = mc² }shows the transformation of existence. Mathematics and harmony reveal divine structure. Knowledge and wisdom express the soul’s awakening. History and justice preserve the moral order of the cosmos. Thus, the unity of Islamic, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Persian philosophies proves one eternal truth:
The universe is a single symphony; every law, every equation, every prayer vibrates with the same divine note. This article brings together scientific equations, mathematical principles, and spiritual ideas into a single vision of truth. It reminds us that “knowledge is light”, and that light is the eternal essence of creation itself.
Totally, how are we the Unity of Knowledge and Creation?
The Universal Equation: From Zero to Infinity, from Matter to Spirit
Human civilisation has always strived to understand the secret order of the universe to see how energy, matter, number, and spirit emerge from a single source. From the earliest Greek geometers to the modern physicists, from the Indian and Persian mathematicians to the Islamic sages and Christian philosophers, every thinker has tried to translate the divine rhythm of creation into human language. When we bring together the discoveries of Euclid, Archimedes, Eratosthenes, Aryabhata, Al-Khwarizmi, Omar Khayyam, Ramanujan, Einstein, Umar (RA), and Ali (RA), we find not scattered fragments but one continuous formula, a sacred geometry of existence where science, mathematics, and spirituality converge into unity.
The foundation of this grand equation begins in ancient Greece with Euclid, who revealed that geometry is not merely a tool of construction but a language of divine logic. His geometric postulates, like the simple yet eternal {a² + b² = c²}, represent the symmetry of all creation. The triangle, with its perfect balance of sides, became a symbol of harmony in space, later echoed in the Christian Trinity, the Hindu Trimurti, and the Islamic Tawhid of balance and unity. Archimedes deepened this understanding through the laws of equilibrium: {Buoyant Force = Weight of Displaced Fluid}, proving that every object finds its balance in proportion to the forces acting upon it. This physical balance mirrors the moral balance within human life: just as an object floats when its weight equals that of the water it displaces, so a soul rises when its deeds equal its faith. Eratosthenes, with his measurement of the Earth’s circumference using shadows and geometry, demonstrated that human intellect can reach cosmic truth through observation and reason. Herodotus, the father of history, introduced the moral geometry of time that cause and effect, like algebraic symmetry, reveal divine justice moving through history. Moving eastward. Aryabhata in India brought a cosmic rhythm into mathematics. His calculation of π {π ≈ 3.1416} and the introduction of trigonometric relations like {sin θ / cos θ = tan θ} described not only geometric motion but the eternal rotation of the Earth, the circular dance of time. For Aryabhata, the universe was a vast wheel where zero and infinity were reflections of the same divine cycle. His idea of zero (0), later carried to Persia and the Arab world, became the seed of all modern mathematics. And Chanakya is the master of political science, translated the same mathematical order into ethics: {Artha + Dharma = Rajya}, its wealth and morality in equilibrium create the ideal state. In his formula, we see that moral order is the social reflection of mathematical symmetry.
This bridge between number and being was perfected by Al-Khwarizmi, whose algebra (Al-Jabr) and algorithms gave structure to abstract reasoning. His equation {ax² + bx + c = 0} is more than mathematics. It symbolises the balance between the seen and unseen, between effort and fate. Through his concept of “sifr” or zero, he sanctified nothingness as the starting point of all creation. A concept already implicit in the Quran’s ayat is the command “Kun fayakun” (Be, and it be). Al-Khwarizmi’s algebra thus became the language through which divine command translates into cosmic order. Omar Khayyam, who was both a mathematician and a poet, extended this legacy through his work on cubic equations {x³ + ax² + bx + c = 0} and his mystical quatrains. He saw geometry as poetry and poetry as geometry. Both reveal the universe’s hidden balance between joy and sorrow, light and shadow. In his vision, mathematics and love share the same root, which both seek union with the infinite. Across the centuries, Albert Einstein transformed that search for unity into physics. His famous equation {E = mc²} showed that matter and energy are one that the visible universe is frozen light. The field equations of relativity {Rμν - ½gμνR = 8πGTμν} express the same law in curvature as the universe bends under the weight of energy, or just as hearts bend under the weight of love. His discovery echoed the ancient spiritual intuition that all creation emerges from light. The Quran speaks of “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth”, the Bible of “Let there be light” and the Upanishads declare “From light, all beings are born”. Thus, Einstein’s formula is not merely scientific but metaphysical. It is the modern echo of divine unity expressed through physics. At the frontier of number and infinity stood Srinivasa Ramanujan, whose infinite series, such as {1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + … = -1/12} under analytic continuation and his elegant expansions for π, revealed the spiritual dimension of mathematics. Ramanujan believed that every formula was an emanation from the goddess Namagiri, a divine whisper. His mathematics proclaimed that infinity and zero are mirrors of one another, creation flows from nothingness into endlessness and returns to zero, forming a circle of being. Where Al-Khwarizmi gave us the algebra of structure, Ramanujan gave us the algebra of the soul. Numbers are not a human invention but a divine revelation.
In Islam’s golden age, thinkers like Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) and Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) transformed these cosmic equations into ethical law. Umar (RA) is governed by a formula as precise as any scientific law {Justice = Law × Mercy}. In his governance, justice operated like a balance in physics without mercy; law became tyranny, just as without mass, energy cannot manifest. Ali (RA) is the fountain of spiritual wisdom, offering inner equations {Knowledge × Patience = Power} and {Silence / Wisdom = Light}. He saw the soul as a microcosm of the cosmos, its energy(E) equal to faith multiplied by wisdom squared: {E = I × W²}. His teaching. He who knows himself knows his Lord. Mirrors Einstein’s relativity in the moral realm: knowledge and humility create the curvature of the soul, bending it toward divine truth.
Meanwhile, the continuity of Greek philosophy, Plato’s {Form × Matter = Existence} and Aristotle’s {Good = Harmony}, became the philosophical root that joined Western metaphysics to Islamic theology and Hindu cosmology. Newton’s {F = ma} and {F = Gm₁m₂ / r²} extended Euclid’s geometry into motion, showing that order and gravity unite everything. Maxwell and Faraday later revealed that light and electromagnetism follow divine consistency: {∇·E = ρ/ε₀} and {∇×B - ∂E/∂t = μ₀J}. Their fields are the modern physical form of “Kun Fayakun”, continuous creation, energy flowing eternally without loss. Quantum theory then uncovered the hidden rule: { Δx · Δp ≥ ħ/2 } uncertainty itself is divine secrecy, the veil of knowledge reminding us that only the Creator knows all. From these scattered formulas, a single vision emerges: the grand Equation of Existence. Matter, energy, knowledge, and justice are all parts of one cosmic algorithm. The creation equation can be written as {E = mc² = hν}, meaning energy equals mass times the speed of light squared, which equals divine vibration. The zero–infinity law,{0 ↔ ∞}, teaches that beginning and end are identical; the universe is a circle, not a line. The ethical symmetry, then, Justice = Mercy × Knowledge, proves that moral law mirrors physical law. Even faith has geometry. The area of faith equals πr², where ‘r’ is reason and π is infinity; the radius of understanding expands toward the boundless divine. The spiritual relativity of Ali (RA) and {E = I × W²} completes Einstein’s vision by revealing that the light of intellect becomes the power of the soul. All civilisations contribute to this symmetry: Greek logic, Hindu numeration, Islamic algebra, Christian metaphysics, and Jewish moral law. Each spoke in the wheel of truth.
If we combine these ideas, the universe can be summarised in one symbolic equation:
(E = mc²) + (∞ = 1/0) + (ax² + bx + c = 0) + (1 + 2 + 3 + … = -1/12) + (Justice = Mercy × Knowledge) = ONE
This is the “Equation of Unity”. It tells us that the same principles govern atoms and angels, planets and prayers. Energy is condensed light, light is condensed knowledge, and knowledge is condensed love. In this way, every equation becomes a verse, every discovery a revelation. The Pythagorean triangle becomes a symbol of harmony, the algebraic curve of Khayyam a metaphor of destiny, Einstein’s relativity a vision of divine interconnection, and Ramanujan’s infinity a hymn to the endlessness of God. The great thinkers were not separated by culture or creed but united in seeking the same cosmic order. The Qur’an calls it ‘mizan’ (balance), the Bible calls it ‘logos’ (divine reason), the Vedas call it ‘rita’ (cosmic law), and the Torah calls it ‘hokmah’ (wisdom). Thus, the story of knowledge is the story of unity, the journey from zero to infinity, from matter to spirit. Geometry, algebra, and light are the alphabet of the same eternal book. The universe itself is the great equation written by the Creator, and human understanding is the gradual solving of that equation.
Psychology in the Universal Equation
In the Universal Equation, psychology represents the dimension of mind, awareness, and subjective experience within reality. If “ E = mc² ” expresses the transformation between matter and energy, then psychology expresses the transformation between experience and consciousness. Here, consciousness (Q) acts as the inner “light” that interacts with the external universe (L). Psychology studies how this inner light perceives, interprets, and shapes reality. It deals with intentions, emotions, meaning, and memory. All of which affect human behaviour and the direction of universal energy. In the formula, the psychological component is represented by “ Σψ “, where ψ (psi) symbolises individual mental states. When these experiences are summed together (Σ), they form collective consciousness, the shared human story guiding civilisation. Psychology, therefore, acts as the bridge between pure physics and divine purpose, translating cosmic laws into human thought and decision-making. It ensures that existence is not just a physical equation, but a lived reality filled with learning, healing, creativity, morality, love, and spiritual awakening. Without psychology, the formula would only describe “how” the universe works, but with psychology, we begin to understand “why” we exist inside it.
Theology
Theology provides the why of existence, explaining the purpose and intentionality behind creation. In the Universal Equation, theology manifests in principles such as the zero–infinity relationship, representing creation from nothing and the boundlessness of divine reality. Spiritual cognitive relativity, expressed as the soul’s energy equaling faith multiplied by wisdom squared, mirrors divine law. Universal symmetry, where the sum of light, logic, and love equals the One, conveys that the essence of God manifests as light, reason, and love, unifying the cosmos. Theology anchors the Universal Equation, providing metaphysical coherence for all natural and moral laws.
Biology
Biology translates universal principles into living systems. Every organism, from single cells to complex ecosystems, obeys the same physical, chemical, and energetic laws that govern the cosmos. Energy and matter, as expressed in Einstein’s equation, form the physical basis for all biological processes. Dynamic balance, such as the equilibrium observed in nature, mirrors homeostasis, the principle that life maintains internal stability. Psychology, understood through biology, reveals how consciousness and cognition transform energy into perception, awareness, and action. Biology demonstrates that life itself is a bridge connecting the physical and spiritual dimensions of reality.
Axiology
Axiology studies values and principles guiding human behaviour, ensuring that knowledge and power align with moral purpose. Justice, expressed as the product of law and mercy, mirrors equilibrium in nature. Spiritual ethics, where wisdom and faith generate moral power, connects personal virtue to cosmic order. Greek philosophy, with its notions of harmony and goodness, complements these insights, showing that ethical values are universal and quantifiable in principle. Axiology ensures that the Universal Equation is not only true but also morally coherent, guiding human action in alignment with cosmic and divine order.
Methodology
Methodology provides the tools and processes by which knowledge is acquired, translating observation, experimentation, reasoning, and pattern recognition into understanding. Ancient mathematicians and scientists such as Euclid, Archimedes, and Eratosthenes demonstrated that geometry and equilibrium reveal universal order. Al-Khwarizmi and Ramanujan showed that abstract reasoning and exploration of infinity reveal deeper cosmic structures. Modern physics, including Einstein’s relativity and quantum theory, demonstrates that empirical testing and theoretical reasoning uncover the laws governing energy, matter, and light. Methodology is the engine of the equation, translating abstract principles into human understanding.
Rational Coherence
Scientific logic provides the framework for consistent reasoning, ensuring that the universe is coherent, predictable, and analyzable. Algebraic structures symbolise the balance between known and unknown. Geometric relationships reveal symmetry and proportionality in space and time. Dynamic and physical laws, including equilibrium and quantum uncertainty, ensure that physical phenomena are measurable and logically consistent. Logic establishes the rules governing matter, energy, and life, making universal, ethical, and spiritual laws understandable and testable.
The Integrated Universal Equation
When all these dimensions are combined, the Universal Equation can be symbolically expressed as energy equals mass times the speed of light squared, which also equals the energy of light, plus geometric and algebraic laws, plus the infinite series and numerical structures, plus ethical and spiritual equations, plus the sum of consciousness, all equaling unity. Physics and biology describe how matter, energy, and life function. Mathematics and logic reveal the patterns and symmetry governing existence. Algebra, infinity, and methodology structure knowledge and guide discovery. Ethics ensures that human actions are aligned with cosmic and divine principles. Theology provides purpose and ultimate unity. Psychology captures conscious experience, showing how these laws are lived and interpreted. Together, they express the unity of all knowledge and the interconnection of existence.
Conclusion
The Universal Equation demonstrates that the universe is not a chaotic collection of isolated facts but a coherent, interconnected system where matter, energy, consciousness, ethics, and divinity converge. Science explains how the universe works, theology explains why it exists, ethics guides action, psychology reveals experience, and methodology and logic provide the means to understand it all. The principles of physics, mathematics, ethics, spirituality, and psychology are different expressions of one universal order. The universe is a symphony of unity, a sacred geometry woven by the Creator, and human understanding is the gradual solving of this cosmic equation. And totally formula is.
