35:10
Proof 4: it is said in verse (35:10): “unto Him good word ascends and the good deed exalts it:. It is evident from this verse that it is the good word and the good deed of man which ascend to the presence of God, and by which is meant the soul and not the body.
The human body cannot reach the exalted court of God, but it is his heart which, linked with true knowledge and good deed, reaches there. In order to achieve this goal, the good deed, reaches there. In order to achieve this good deed becomes a throne, on which sits a pure word consisting of knowledge, ‘ibadat and the reality of the heart and then they ascend to the Divine court and merge with the word and act of God. Verse (35 : 10)
According to the purport of verse (35:10), the supreme grandeur of human soul lies in that its pure word and good deed may ascend to and reach the Divine Court, so that after attaining the honour of acceptance and annihilation, it may tend towards building a new world by means of His Command (amr).
al-Kalim at tayyib (Pure speech)
In verse (35:10) God says: "Pure speech ascends to Him and good deed exalts it." This is the mention of knowledge, recognition and good deeds, because it is through these means that man reaches God.
al-Kalim at tayyib (Pure speech)
In verse (35:10), it is mentioned: "Towards Him the good words ascend and good deeds exalt them." That is, the good words of true knowledge and pure cibadat ascend towards God and due to good deeds, they can be exalted to His presence, so that the word and deed of the salik may be annihilated in His word and deed.
It is related from the Holy Prophet that he said: "God does not seize knowledge from the people by snatching it from them. He takes it by taking the learned ones ...".
It is thus clear from the above that knowledge does not go into the earth (with the body of the learned) but that God grasps it in His hand. It ascends unto Him on a throne which is made of good deeds, for as God says: " Unto Him the good word (knowledge) ascends and the good deed exalts it." (35:10).
In verse (35:10) it is mentioned: "Good words go up to Him and good deed exalts them." This wisdom-filled verse alludes that when the souls and the intellects of mu’mins and their words and deeds have been completely purified they will then reach the higher world and be delighted by seeing its everlasting treasures.
Q122 It is said in verse (35:10): “To Him ascends the good word and the good deed uplifts it.” Please explain its wisdom.
A122 As a salik attains the rank of fana’ fi’llah, his word and deed also attain the same rank and become the word and deed of God. This is a very great secret of macrifat.
Part 69
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
It is mentioned in verse (35:10): “Towards Him ascends the good word and the good deed exalts it.”
Also it is said in verse (8:29): “O you who believe! If you fear God, He will grant you a Furqan (i.e. miracle, criterion) and wipe off from you your evils, and forgive you; and God is the Lord of great bounty.”
Mawla cAli says: “You should bear goodwill to all people in your heart, this is the best means of the revelation of mercy.”
Profound Qur’anic wisdom alludes that every wise person wishes well for God’s household. God says in verses (21:33; 36:40): “And everything rotates in a circle.” This means that the monoreality of the souls of the world of humanity has come from God and it completes the rotation of the circle in every spiritual resurrection.
