Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 18
Part 18
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
It is mentioned in verse (51:56): "I did not create jinn and human beings but to worship Me."
Luminous ta'wil: God has created jinn and human beings for the sake of His worship and recognition. This shows that in the very beginning or at some stage they both had the same capacity. This luminous ta'wil accords with that of verses (55:14-15).
Verse (46:29) shows that there can be hudud-i din among the jinn too. I have personally heard that "Allahu Mawlana `Ali" is the Supreme Name among the jinn. When I recited this name, I experienced the coming of the subtle body into my horse. This happened immediately after my final Chillah.1

1 Chillah means the special worship (`ibadat) of forty days in which the worshipper secludes himself from people and abstains from marital relationships and unnecessary talk, food and sleep.
