Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 28
Part 28
Tags: Dust, Mustajib, Image of the Compassionate
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
It is mentioned in verse (3:59): "Verily, the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said to him: Be! And he was."
Luminous ta'wil: Dust = the initial rank of the true mission (da`wat-i haqq) = mustajib. The one who was granted the title of Adam (a.s.) after spiritual elevation was initially a mustajib, namely the lowest rank of hudud-i din. He was granted ism-i a`zam = dhikr. He worked strenuously and underwent the spiritual resurrection and entered the Sacred Sanctuary and there it was said to him: "Be!" and he was created in the Image of the Compassionate (surat-i Rahman). The same was the reality of Jesus (a.s.).
