By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
An example of the confluence of the verbal Supreme Name and the luminous Supreme Name is in surah-yi Ibrahim (14:24-25). In order to draw attention to a particular thing from among the inner spiritual observations of the holy Prophet (May Allah send blessings and peace through him and his progeny), the interrogatory phrase 'alam tara (Did you not see?)' repeatedly occurs in Qur'an.
The ta'wil of this wisdom-filled saying is in Wajh-i Din.41 The luminous manifestations of the Pearl of Intellect are the fruits of the luminous tree. In short, no parable of the wise Qur'an is outside the examples of theophanies of the confluence of the Pearl of Intellect and the Hidden Book.
It is said that this universe also has a blessed mouth (dahan-i mubarak) from which pearls, i.e., stars continue to emerge.
