18:9
Ashab al-kahf (The people of the cave)
This represents the spiritual miracle of the personal world, in which the spirituality and recognition of the seven major cycles and the seven minor cycles (18:9) is gathered together.
Raqim (Inscription, writing)
One of the spiritual marvels and wonders is that sometimes writing appears in front of the inner eye. This surely is an allusion to the fact that there are bounties in paradise in the form of writing too (18:9).
Q60 What is our sacred duty?
A60 O my dear! Our sacred duty is wisdom search, because our spiritual and intellectual happiness as well as the happiness of all our companions is hidden in this blessed work. Therefore, let us do our best to recognise a great, pleasant and nourishing secret of the holy Qur’an, which is “ar-raqim” (18:9). Ar-raqim is a glimpse of a spiritual and esoteric writing for the saliks and carifs so that they may believe in spiritual miracles.
Q61 Have you ever seen an amazing and pleasant book or writing in a luminous dream?
A61 Yes, it is an example of ar-raqim (18:9). However, in spiritual miracles there is greater efficacy [as compared to a luminous dream].
