Do We Really Not Exist?
So for the past few days I've been watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of articles about human existence and how it is all just an 'illusion .'
So I'm a Muslim and I wanted a religious point of view about this.
Anyone can answer this question...

[6:32] The life of this world is no more than illusion and vanity, while the abode of the
Hereafter is far better for the righteous. Do you not understand?!
[57:20] Know that this worldly life is no more than play and games, and boasting
among you, and hoarding of money and children. It is like abundant rain that produces
plants and pleases the disbelievers. But then the plants turn into useless hay, and are
blown away by the wind. In the Hereafter there is either severe retribution, or
forgiveness from GOD and approval. This worldly life is no more than a temporary
illusion.
[6:33] We know that you may be saddened by what they say. You should know that it
is not you that they reject; it is GOD's revelations that the wicked disregard.

That question may be unanswerable.
In my world it doesn't matter, because I have a very good illusion of existence, and I don't see any need to heat my hair oil about it.
We may have an answer in my lifetime, but I don't take that for granted. If we get an answer it will be from Quantum Reality research, not Theology.

If you're Muslim, and believe in a religion that teaches everything is just an, "Illusion" and a, "Passing through," then I guess that's how you see it. Everything exists. Anything that does not exist, does not exist, and will never exist without help (or an outside force).

We DO exist, but not in the way that Jehovah God planned...
We are supposed to live on the earth...AND NEVER DIE...and turn the earth into a complete paradise...a nice place...
This plan was upset, but net eliminated, when Adam and Eve disobeyed...
(Genesis 2:16, 17) And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.”
And all the efforts since then by Jehovah and Jesus are involved with REMOVING DEATH [ SIN] FROM US.
To bring us back to the original plan.

That's taking physics' speculation too far.
No, we are not a hologram within a black-hole formed by digital codes on the surface of said black-hole.
As I said, that's taking the speculation too far. We really do exist.

If you believe that we do not exist thus you're a stareblind.
