Q504 It is mentioned in verse (28:81): “Then We caused the earth to swallow him up and his abode.” This is Qarun’s story in which Allah caused the earth to swallow him up with his abode due to his arrogance and disobedience. How do you understand this story: Did Allah cause the earth to swallow him up in the external earth or in the earth of the personal world?
A504
- Qur’anic parables vary but their meaning is the same. That is, by Allah’s command all people gather together in the personal world.
- There is a trial at each and every step on the path of knowledge and wisdom. Nonetheless, the centre of souls is one and the same. There have been many people like Qarun and all of them are brought to the personal world by the force of resurrection.
