RUYAH > TRUTH AND REPRESENTATION
Man turns towards the truth; but he does not consider his own words and works as the whole truth.
The Holy Quran is revelation. The words, interpretations and explanations that try to understand it in Turkish are human efforts. Likewise, a formula, data set, software, machine model, game, or institution is a limited human production: it may approximate truth, it may be useful, but it may carry errors and be corrected.
Main idea
What we do may be valuable; yet it is not the truth itself.
People learn, distinguish, formulate, translate, develop software and build institutions. He does all this seriously; but it does not make its own understanding and production untouchable. Because man is a servant, his knowledge is limited and he is responsible for the results of his work.
Representation may share in truth; cannot consume the truth.
A simple measure
A representation that describes something is not the thing itself that it describes.
This distinction does not reduce production. On the contrary, it shows more honestly what we do, what we know and where we should stand.
Map and city
The map helps us find the way; but it cannot include the people, smell, history and whole life of the city.
Photography and people
The photograph shows a moment; It does not consume the intention, memory and entire nature of the person in the photograph.
Turkish meaning and the Quran
The Turkish expression is the human word that helps us understand the verse; It is not the complete equivalent of the Arabic original of the Quran or its entire meaning.
Data and real life
Data records some features; It cannot make people, family, nature or society mere measured areas.
Model and human
The model can find patterns and offer suggestions; does not bear responsibility for intention, conscience, judgment and outcome.
Institution and ideal
A school, foundation, or program may be directed toward the right cause; However, it may still be incomplete, it may make mistakes, and it should be corrected.
Layers separated from each other
We do not consider the source, human understanding, and the resulting product to be the same thing.
The Quran, the human word trying to understand the Quran, RUYAH's expansion on the issue of the age, and the program or tool produced by it are different layers. No production in the lower layer can replace the resource above it.
Mimari yön
Revelation → human understanding → RUYAH stands for → human production → examination and correction.
- 01
Holy Quran
It is revelation and the original source; It is not human production. Statement, description or portal text in another language does not replace it.
See source authority → - 02
Authentic Sunnah
It is a living explanation of the Quran and an example of literature. The hadith text, its translation and human commentary are separated from each other and discussed in terms of source, authenticity and context.
See the examination door → - 03
Tafsir, translation and commentary
It is an effort to understand that emerges within human language, knowledge, time and method. It can be very accurate; yet it is not revelation itself.

RUYAH
It is our effort to understand the issues of the age and put them in the right place, by taking direction from the fixed and boundaries of revelation. It is human; is open to examination and correction.
Return to RUYAH → - 05
Program, institution and product
It is the application we developed in line with RUYAH. It can be helpful and powerful; it can still carry errors, be corrected, and dropped when necessary.

What does this distinction protect?
There is truth; people turn to it with their limited knowledge, effort and representations.
Just because human speech is limited does not mean “all opinions are equal”. An explanation or production may be more accurate, more sourced, and more useful; another may be inaccurate, out of context, or harmful. The difference is tested with source, procedure, competence, contact with reality and results.
Source and upper dimension
The truth that man does not produce and cannot consume with his own work
Revelation is not placed in the same rank as the human word; no human model or institution can claim to encompass its entire meaning.
- Revelation is distinguished from the human word about revelation.
- Revealed constants and limits are upper standards.
- Man is always a servant, a trustworthy and accountable person.
Human labor
Our efforts to understand, explain and produce
It can approach truth and produce real benefit; but it cannot become the whole truth or the final authority of judgment.
- Explains sources, methods and choices.
- It makes uncertainty and limitations visible.
- It keeps the path open for examination, correction, renewal and abandonment when necessary.
How does this measure work in production?
Every production must tell you honestly what it can demonstrate and where it falls short.
Explaining its limits does not devalue a work. It makes visible how much the user can trust it, what decision he needs to make, and how to fix the error.
Tafsir and translation
It represents the effort to understand revelation; Interpretation is not revelation itself.
Mathematical formula
It represents defined relationships and measurable structure; It does not consume the entire essence of existence.
Scientific model
Offers explanations or predictions for certain phenomena; Successful prediction does not mean that he knows the entire asset or has unlimited right of disposal over it.
Dataset
It represents selected, classified, and contextualized records; it is not being itself or the whole truth.
Machine model
It is a computational representation established by data and design choices; It does not pass to the authority of judgment, intention and responsibility.
Gaming, video and media
It is the narrative and visible representation that the filmmaker chooses; It is not the same as the history, people or value it represents.
Institution and program
It is an attempt to implement an order; It is not the ideal order itself and can be corrected.
Classified directory
It is an organized expression of procedure and experience; It does not exhaust all the knowledge of the profession and all the cases.
Are all comments equal?
No. The limitation of human production does not mean giving up on distinguishing between right and wrong.
A representation may be sourced, consistent, competent and useful; someone else might disrupt the context or cause damage. Examination and correction are not untruths, but accepting one's place and responsibility.
Accuracy and consistencyEach claim is tested within its scope for contact with reality and internal consistency. Source and procedureThe chain of origin, method, selection and transformation must be visible and reexaminable. Competence and responsibilityResponsibility for final judgment, intention, publication and outcome remains with the authorized person. Constants and bordersThe constantly changing field of representation is weighed against the revealed constant, the boundary, ADAB and SEDD measures.
Ask before publishing
Before a text, model, game or service can be published, it must answer five open questions.
The aim is not to claim perfection; is to make the job more accurate, reliable, useful and correctable.
01 What is it based on?
What primary, scientific, field or data sources are it based on? Is the chain of origin and transformation clear?
02 How was it produced?
Are the selection, classification, interpretation, calculation and production method fit for purpose?
03 Who bears the responsibility?
Who carries the decision on the field, source, technique and publication of this performance and with what authority?
04 Who can it benefit or harm?
To whom does it benefit or harm? Are SIDRA, MA and SEDD boundaries visible?
05 How to fix the error?
Is there room for ambiguity, error, feedback, correction, withdrawal and abandonment when necessary?
Continue from here
Read together the direction given by the source and how we act in the changing world.
Revealed Constants and Limits describe the place of man and the limits that he should not exceed; Constants and Tajdid explain how we can remain determined and dynamic without absolutizing what we have found.
