2. The Theory
2. 5. What is transcendent in all diversity is nothing but unity. Even a single human being is equivalent to the entire universe:
5:32. For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came to them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards Look! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
31:28. Your creation and your raising (from the dead) are only as (the creation and the raising of) a single soul. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
