Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 12


Part 12

Tags: Cold fire, Jinn

By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.

The ta'wili miracle of the cold fire which occurred in the courtyard of Qaranggutugraq (Yarqand) jama`at khanah, comprised many a great miracle. I was standing in the courtyard when something started to come towards me like the flow of water. When it came close to me, I realised that it was an unusual fire. Later on, it became known that it was the fire which God had made cold and a means of security in the time of Hazrat-i Ibrahim (a.s.) (21:69).

Then, this fire clinging to my body rose very high above my head. It seemed to be touching the heaven. One of my spiritual companions said to me: 'Jerk your head in order to shake it off'. I did so and the tower of cold fire fell down and broke into pieces. However, instantly all those pieces gathered together into a tower, which again rose higher than my head. My spiritual companion told me to shake my head again to let the tower fall down and I did so.

Now, for the third time, this tower rose above my head and started to touch the heaven. My struggle to shake it off did not affect the tower and it remained in its place. I began to feel distressed and started to recite various kinds of prayers. The tower turned into a fountain, the drops which were falling down from it used to turn into tiny animals. Therefore, later on I became certain that jinns and also those shirts which protect from the heat (16:81) are created from the cold fire. Those tiny animals were entering my ears and therefore I experienced restlessness.

     Jab barq-sawar aya tab bab khula az-khwud 
     Main mar ke hu'a zindah jab shah-i shahan aya 
When the lightning-rider came, the door opened of itself
I died and was brought back to life when the King of the kings came
