The innert flight

The chip that will allow us to fly… many call it utopia. But I do not believe it. Humanity has always had the power to invent, to surpass itself, and today, as we prepare to cross new boundaries, fear is the only thing we do not need.

Fear of what? Of a chip in place of the brain? Of flying? Fear comes from imagining a physical flight, but the true journey is already within us. Those who have learned to project their ideas into the world, to communicate beyond the body, know that inner flight is already reality. With a computer, a connection, a word, we can touch distant worlds. We can feel like a single, global community, capable of understanding the infinite.

And the Quran speaks to us about this: of seven layered heavens, of invisible worlds, of hidden signs known only to God (67:3; 2:29; 42:29; 6:59). It reminds us that the universe is infinite, and our knowledge fragile. Multiverses are not fantasy: they are invitations to wonder, to amazement, to humility. Without God, the future frightens. With Him, every dimension of life can be embraced with serenity.

Perhaps the chip will take us beyond the limits of the brain, but are we not already doing it? Are we not already expanding our minds, connecting technology and ancient knowledge, expanding human intelligence ? Every progress is part of a greater design. Evolution does not stop, even when we try to resist it.

The Quran describes life progressively: from water to birth, from plant to human (21:30; 23:12-14). And what is most astonishing: 1,400 years ago, it described every stage of gestation with scientific precision, as if science were already a reflection of divine revelation.

And yet everything will end. The heavens will break, the mountains will turn to dust, the seas will overflow (82:1-5). Every thought, every action will be laid bare before the Creator (69:13-16). Matter will vanish, time will collapse, but the soul will continue to live. Only those who have been able to look with wonder and humility will know peace.

It will not be a chip that decides our fate. It will be the life we have lived, the depth with which we have loved, the courage with which we have contemplated the infinite. Everything that exists is revelation. Everything that passes returns. Everything that happens is eternal.

The Quran speaks to us with a voice more modern than any human, more precise than any science. It frightens because it is alien in its perfection, incontestable in its truth. But those who listen… those who truly open their hearts… discover that there, in those words, is the flight we have all been seeking.
