19:23
It is mentioned in verse (19:23): "She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten! Then Jibril called out to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely your Lord has made a stream to flow beneath you." (19:24). A special ta'wil of this wisdom- filled Qur'anic teaching relating to the personal world is that in this Qur'anic story Hazrat Maryam is the example of a Hujjat, an carif and a mu'min-i salik, because in their personal world each one of them is like Hazrat Maryam, and gives birth to a luminous child. This child is a living and speaking Word (4:171), which is the light of the Supreme Name. When the time of the luminous birth of this intellectual child comes, then according to natural law, the Maryam of soul (Maryam-i ruh) of the carif passes through severe pain caused by intense shaking (2:214). At this time, yearning for complete annihilation (fana'-i kulli) he says: "I wish I had been annihilated in Allah (fana' fi'llah)" before this so that I would not have remembered myself or others.
