Uyun (sing. ayn) (Fountains)
It is said in verse (15:45): "Indeed, the righteous (muttaqin) will be in gardens and fountains." Question: Since ta'wili wisdom is hidden in the lexical meaning of the wise Qur’an, therefore, the question arises: How will the righteous live in the fountains of paradise? Answer: There are four fountains of the four streams of paradise: the Universal Intellect, the Universal Soul, natiq and asas. The righteous remain immersed in the lights of these higher hudud. In paradise this excellence is granted only to the righteous.
The original fountainhead of soul is always in Paradise. The soul has come here like the stream of water. According to another example it has come like a rope, the upper end of which is in Paradise. According to a third example given by Rumi: We have not come to this world at all, but our life here is only a shadow (of the real life in Paradise). These three examples of soul are in the light of the Mighty Qur'an as mentioned in verses (15:45; 44:52; 51:15): "Verily the righteous ones are in the midst of gardens and fountains." That is, the paradisiacal personality of the righteous is in the fountains of the Universal Intellect, the Universal Soul and other hudud (ranks), the streams of which have reached this world. Similarly, there is the example of the rope of God (3:103). Further God says about shadows: "And God has made for you the shadows of what He has created." (16:81). These are not the shadows from which animals too, benefit, rather they are special and sublime and they are the shadows of the great personalities of Paradise.
