2:235
Q.2. Please also explain how the different grades of the soul are one in the real sense?
Ans.2. In both pre-eternity and post-eternity, all souls are alike. An example in the physical world can be found in the sun in whose particles there is individuality, equality, uniformity and unity. In the world of religion an example of this state can be found in the Prophets who are like a Single Soul (nafs- i wahidah). It is worth pondering upon how, all Prophets can be despite the law of excellence. (The law of excellence is based on the Quranic verse: “Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others “(2:235)). In order to understand this paradox, we have to appreciate that there are only two worlds, the world of world of plurality and the world of unity. Both these aspects are valid respectively in these worlds. The law of excellence only applies in the world of plurality and unity and equality apply to the world of unity. By this explanation the reality of the unity and equality of souls is clear.
