Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 15

Part 15

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

It is mentioned in verse (51:47): "We built the heaven with the force [of resurrection] and indeed We are the expander."

Second translation: "We built the heaven (Sacred Sanctuary) with Our hands and We are going to extend it as wide as the universe". That is, We are going to elevate the seventy thousand pure souls to the rank of seventy thousand cosmic paradises. Here by the 'heaven' is meant the Sacred Sanctuary, which is the heaven of the personal world.
