Tags: Wings, Supreme Name
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
It is said in surah-yi Fatir: "Praise belongs to God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, who appointed the angels to be messengers having wings two, three and four. He adds what He wills in the creation. Surely God is powerful over everything." (35:1).
First check any scholar's translation and reflect on it. Explaining the ta'wil is my sacred duty.
The Qur'an has one manifest form and one hidden. The praise of the true Lord continues at the lofty rank of the Universal Intellect (`aql-i kull). He is the creator and originator of the hidden luminous heavens and earth. He makes His spiritual angels (those who possess two two, three three and four four wings of knowledge and worship) the paradisiacal inviters to knowledge and wisdom. Those among the purified souls from the people of truth who possess the Supreme Name (ism-i a`zam) have the miracle of two, three and four wings. Therefore, later on two, three and four names manifest from it.
