Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 13

Part 13

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

It is said in verses (55:14-15): "He created man from fermented clay, dried tinkling, hard like earthenware, and created jinn from the flame of fire."

Luminous ta'wil: The One/Unifier and Subduer Lord, by His perfect power transformed the fire of the difficulties of a qa'imshinas mu'min into cool fire and from it created the subtle bodies of paradise. This means that humankind and jinn are created from the same one personal world and that in the beginning they were one person, just as the silkworm and moth are two as well as one, for they are the two halves of the same one circle.
