Part 37
Tags: Tur, Mount of intellect, Kuh-i `aql, Pearl of Intellect, Gawhar-i `aql, Sacred Sanctuary, Hazirah-yi qudus
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
In surah-yi Hashr God says: "Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, you would have certainly seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of God. And We strike parables for humankind so that they may reflect." (59:21).
Ta'wili allusion: This example is regarding the secrets of wisdom of the mount of intellect (kuh-i `aql), i.e., the Pearl of Intellect (gawhar-i `aql) of the Sacred Sanctuary (hazirah-yi qudus) because there are numerous examples of the Pearl of Intellect.
Tur, i.e., the mount of Tur is mentioned in ten places in the Qur'an, but according to esoteric ta'wil it is the mount of intellect, i.e., the Pearl of Intellect which is in the miracles and theophanies of the Sacred Sanctuary. Praise be to Allah for His favours and munificence! See in the Qur'an with the help of Index.13
If the Lord of the light of ta'wil wills, the esoteric meaning will be revealed to you gradually. Do the giryah-u zari of love, Amin!
