20:98
(2) The Glorious Qur'an says that nothing is devoid of knowledge (20:98; 40:7). That is, knowledge is kept in the exterior and interior of everything. For instance, study verse (9:119): "O you who believe! Fear God and be with the truthful." In worldly matters, truthfulness is a very simple matter, but truthfulness in knowledge is a very difficult thing. Therefore, mu'mins of every age are commanded to be with the truthful, i.e. the legatees of the Prophet, who alone are the truthful in knowledge.
(3) There is knowledge in everything of the Qur'an, such as verse (2:25): "In it (Paradise) there will be purified spouses for them." That is, they will have there subtle (luminous) body, pure soul and intellect full of knowledge, because whether in this world or in the next, purity cannot be conceived without knowledge. Thus, knowledge is mentioned in the sense of purity everywhere in the Qur'an.
(4) Thamarat (fruits) are mentioned in the Qur'an sixteen times, in which are hidden the meanings of knowledge; fakihah (fruit) is mentioned eleven times and fawakih (pl. of fakihah) three times, and are used in the sense of knowledge, ukul (fruit), qutuf (pl. of qitf, fruit), janiyy (freshly picked fruit), all are similitudes of knowledge, as the Wise Qur'an says: "And He caused water to pour down from the heaven, thereby producing fruits as food for you." (2:22). That is, when the rain of heavenly knowledge poured on the soil of your heart, various kinds of fruits of knowledge were produced.
(5) When God enfolds the universe of soul and knowledge in the Sacred Sanctuary during the personal resurrection of His salik (i.e. one who travels on the spiritual path), all realities and recognitions are gathered together. In this state the world of multiplicity turns into the world of oneness, in which all are represented by the Single Soul (nafs-i wahidah).
(6) The Sacred Sanctuary is in the forehead of arifs, where all the scattered things of the entire universe are gathered together and nothing related to knowledge is outside this eternal treasure of renewal (ganj-i azal-i tajaddud), because it is the supreme Paradise which is brought close from far away. Thus, everything and all things are in the Sacred Sanctuary as mentioned in numerous Qur'anic verses that "God has granted you every bounty" (14:34).
