Dabbah 2 (That which creeps, that which walks)

It is said in verse (6:38): "And there is not an animal (that moves) on the earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but they are communities like you. We have not left out anything in the Book; then in the presence of their Lord they will be gathered." The ta'wili wisdom of this verse is as follows: In this external world, although there are many categories of living beings (man and others), fundamentally they are divided into two big groups. Some of them walk on the earth and others fly in the air. The same is the case in the world of particles. This is so that by these two kinds of testimonies, we will come to know that the people of all communities in paradise will be in two categories. Some of them will walk on the earth and some may also be able to fly.

Dabbah 3 (That which walks, including human beings)

It is said in verse (6:38): "We have not left out anything in the Book." That is, this reality becomes evident when the Qur’an is studied in the illumination of the "Revealed Light" (5:15), when the light of the Imam of the time shines on the book of the soul, when the book of the universe is studied with the inner eye, and in the speaking Book (light of Imamat), when someone is granted the recognition.

Dabbah 4 (Animal, including man)

It is said in verse (6:38): "Then in the presence of their Lord they will be gathered." The gathering (hashr) of the people of the world is first in the form of particles in the world of particles, which is in the Perfect Man. Then there are examples of ranks (darajat). Then at the rank of singularity (fardaniyyat), all of them will be gathered in the form of the Single Soul. This means that the people of paradise will first be in different ranks, and will then gradually enter the sacred Sanctuary and become united only in One luminous body (haykal-i nur). This is the ta’wil of hashr.
