Confluence of Spiritual Science and Material Science - Part 90

Part 90

Tags: al-`aqabah, fakku raqabah

In the name of God, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful

It is mentioned in verses (90:1-4 ): "Nay, I swear by this city, and you are a dweller of this city. By the father and the son. Indeed, We have created man in toil."

Ta'wili wisdoms: This city (Makkah) = asas; father = hujjat of qa'im (May peace be through him); son = Hazrat-i qa'im (May peace be through him); complement [of the oath]: the spiritual creation of a mu'min is possible in extreme toil. In verse (90:11) by al-`aqabah is meant an extremely difficult pass. In verse (90:13) by fakku raqabah is meant to set a slave free, i.e., to set oneself free from the slavery of the carnal soul.
