23:14
Part 60
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
God, by His perfect power and profound wisdom, has made the world of humanity a very amazing source for “another creation (khalqan akhar”, 23:14-16). Thus, all the Prophets and awliya’ (sing. wali) were apparently from the world of humanity. All physical and spiritual hudud-i din are linked to it. Angels, i.e. the souls of good people, subtle creatures, pious jinns and paris, countless huris and ghilman and the people of paradise are all from the world of humanity. cArif-i Rumi says:
One of the names of the wise Qur’an is wahy (sign, signal, allusion), as verse (19:11) shows. Since there are very farreaching and all-inclusive allusions in Qur’anic words, therefore one of its names became wahy. For instance, when the Qur’an says that Allah appoints a light for you, it is not only for walking (57:28), but it also implies flying and flying alludes to becoming an angel. Further, there is the indication of observing countless marvels and wonders of God’s kingdom. God willing!
