Various arguments have been put forward regarding the origin of the world’s creation. However, phenomena related to the initial creation have not been examined with a focus on the quality and quantity of the movements involved in the process. In this research, we analyze the origin of life and its dimensions through the lens of Nahj al-Balagha, providing a critical examination of the creation process. This theoretical study employs a descriptive-analytic method to address the following question: What are the hidden and thought-provoking dimensions of the origin of the world’s creation in terms of the nature of movement within the creation process, as presented in Nahj al-Balagha? The research findings indicate that significant events occurred at the moment of the creation of being and life. Following the creation and separation of the atmospheres, the process of creation commenced. Nahj al-Balagha mentions two significant explosions as part of the creation movements, highlighting the crucial and thought-provoking role of movement at the onset of creation.
During the first explosion, the atmosphere brought time into existence. Subsequently, matter was created as water or a watery substance, which then expanded. After a period, the centrifugal force gathered this water, which had transformed into a tumultuous sea, into a single place. This indicates an orderly, purposeful motion aimed at preserving the primary matter. Following this, the second explosion occurred. Nahj al-Balagha does not specify the interval between the first and second explosions. The second explosion was more intense, occurring in space, and resulted in a strong wind that agitated and transformed the sea. As a consequence of these motions and the energy produced by the explosions and other developments, foam-like bubbles were expelled from the sea into space.
The bubbles moved forward and began to expand in space. These events led to the existence of the sky and served as the origins of being and life. In conclusion, as the process of creation progressed, the intensity of these motions increased. Thus, the main element involved in the emergence of the world can be attributed to the quality and quantity of precise, orderly motions of creation. This analysis suggests that the text of Nahj al-Balagha aligns with the results of modern scientific theories about creation.
