My Question is , Is this world: matter… 'solid reality' or what we think we 'see'; merely an illusion? Like i mean - in dreams we think that our dreams are reality but the truth is what we see in dreams is actually what our brain makes us see and makes us think that this world is reality but in truth we are only dreaming in state of sleep and that dreamworld is not real , similarly , we have to die someday , so is this World , Matter a Reality or is this world just an illusion just a vision which our brain makes us see ??

Is this World a state of Illusion ? everything we experience Happiness , sorrows , memories , are these things just merely an illusion which our brain makes us see on the inside ? and this illusion will only be removed when we wake up after our Death ?

It (the world) is an illusion in the sense that it appears that what you see (people,those in charge, your teacher, the army, the president) is running things, when in reality it is Allah who is actually running things. So behind everything Allah is the doer. So the world is contingent reality in that it exist through Allah, Allah is sustaining it at every moment. Allah is absolute reality, and has no sustainer, for Allah is al Rabb, the Sustainer.

This is why Allah told us numerous times in the Quran to reflect on His Ayat (signs or could be translated verses)... And verses (ayat) are meant to be read... which is why the Sufis understand the first verse of the Quran revealed to the Prophet (SAW), Irqa (read) means to read Allah's signs, it could not refer to the Quran or hadith because they were not yet revealed. To see Allah behind everything... So when things happen in your life, one should ask what is Allah telling me....

The sufis are in the job of making people literate.... So they can read the signs (Ayat or verses) from Allah...

The fuqaha are concerned with the outward Sunnah of the Prophet (saw)... what he (SAW) physically did.
while the Sufis are concerned with both the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW)... so that we can worship Allah properly, but they are also concerned with the Sunnah of Allah... how Allah runs things... So they can respond properly....

This is indicated in a several hadith, "be mindful and you will find Allah in front of you." He who knows himself knows his Lord. etc....

Allah is always speaking to us... But most of us are illiterate...

And Allah knows best.
