Publisher's Synopsis
Book Description:
Lauh Mahfuzh: The Divine Tablet Untouched by Time is a groundbreaking exploration of one of the most mysterious and profound concepts in Islamic cosmology-the sacred Tablet where all decrees are written, preserved beyond time, space, and alteration.
Author Okta Nugroho takes readers on a journey through classical Islamic scholarship, Qur'anic interpretation, prophetic traditions, and mystical insights, while weaving in contemporary reflections from fields such as digital ethics, artificial intelligence, and data permanence. How can a concept as ancient as Lauh Mahfuzh speak to the age of blockchain, surveillance capitalism, and spiritual disconnection?
With philosophical depth and theological precision, this book dives into the metaphysical dimensions of divine knowledge and predestination. It also raises timely questions: What does it mean to be known before we exist? Can modern technologies mimic divine memory? Where is the line between sacred preservation and invasive data retention?
More than just a theological treatise, Lauh Mahfuzh serves as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, the spiritual and the digital. It is a vital resource for scholars, seekers, and thinkers who dare to look beyond linear time and into the eternal record that underpins all existence.
