Tags: Muslim, Image of the Compassionate, Surat-i Rahman
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
You said: The supreme meaning of 'muslim' is the one who merges in God. What is its example in the wise Qur'an? Answer: Surah-yi Nisa': "And who is better in religion than he who has submitted his face (i.e., the face of his soul) entirely to God, and is righteous, and follows the way of Ibrahim who used to walk avoiding falsehood? And God took Ibrahim for a special friend" (4:125).
When the Lord of spiritual resurrection ushered Adam (a.s) in the paradise of the Sacred Sanctuary, he was created in the Image of the Compassionate (surat-i Rahman). This is the submission of the soul's face to God and it is said in a hadith that whoever among the children of Adam (a.s) will enter paradise, they will be in the image of their father Adam (a.s).
