The amazing ta'wili dream I saw in Tashgurgan
One night after the fixed `ibadat, I saw an amazing dream, in which I was definitely sacrificed. My head hung from a nearby wall and my body lay in the direction of north to south. The most bewildering thing is that I was observing this scene from a specific height in space. My consciousness was among countless luminous particles. However, it was not clear which particle I was in. It is possible that they were the particles of my own soul and my "I" was their unity. Thus, on the one hand I saw my sacrificed body on the ground and my suspended head and on the other, the countless particles of my soul in space.
According to a hadith, is every soul by itself not an assembled army? Or are all souls together not an assembled army? If it is possible for an individual to be a personal world in which lies a great kingdom, then it is also possible for a countless spiritual army (countless particles of soul) to be in this kingdom. Its collective name is soul, just as the collective name of billions of cells is human being.
This luminous dream was an indication that the `irfani (related to ma`rifat or recognition) death or the spiritual resurrection would take place in the future, which would be the most unique and greatest event in the entire world. It has many ta'wils, which will be mentioned later on. Al-hamdu li'llahi rabbi'l-`alamin!
