Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 25

Part 25

Tags: Eve, Image of Rahman, Marriage, One thousand, Seventy thousand, Houris, Hurun `in

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

The wisdom-filled verses (44:54; 52:20) show that marriage in paradise is arranged by God Himself. He creates both the bridegroom and the bride in His Rahmani Image like Adam (a.s.) and Eve (a.s.). Adam (a.s.) and Eve (a.s.) had a minimum of at least one thousand and a maximum of seventy thousand manifestations. When they were listening to one another, they were listening to light; when they were observing light in one another, they were touching light in one another.

How is it possible that the luminous houris should have big eyes and their husbands, small ones? They were both in the Image of Rahman. The hurun `in or the houris with big eyes have many ta'wils: they are

  1. the fountainhead of manifestations,
  2. the fountainhead of knowledge and wisdom,
  3. the fountainhead of love,
  4. the fountainhead of modesty and shyness,
  5. the fountainhead of children,
  6. the fountainhead of giryah-u zari,
  7. the fountainhead of clemency,
  8. the fountainhead of service,
  9. the fountainhead of `ibadat (worship),
  10. the fountainhead of mercy and soft heartedness,
  11. the fountainhead of beauty and elegance,

etc., etc.
