37:84
Salim (Faultless, flawless, pure, sound heart, the heart which is free from inner diseases)
In verse (37:84), it is mentioned about Hazrat Ibrahim: First translation: "When he came to his Lord with a faultless heart." Second translation: "When he came to his Lord with a heart worthy of submitting", so that God may take it in His blessed hand and may turn it between two of His fingers the way He wants to turn it and make it the mirror of His beauty, elegance and perfect attributes and the treasure of the secrets of azal and abad. So that a luminous example of guidance would remain forever for the people in this guiding act of Hazrat Ibrahim, who was the Imam of the people (2:124).
Qalb salim (Immaculate heart, sound heart)
It is the heart which is free from inner diseases and is always under God's providential care and guidance, as was the blessed heart of Hazrat Ibrahim (37:84).
It is not possible to understand the symbols of dream without Divine guidance and help. His guidance is on the straight path, which is the path of the Prophets, the truthful (Siddiqin), the martyrs (shuhada') and the righteous (Salihin) and those servants of God, who obey them (4:69). This means that the symbols of dream are understood first and foremost, by the Prophets and then, by those who are mentioned here, respectively. In this regard, let us see the verse (37:84), whose medical interpretation is: Hazrat Ibrahim had attained the special proximity of God through a sound heart. This was the principal place of the recognition of tawhid (Oneness of God). Thus, once when he saw the stars in a dream or in imagination, he said: I am sick (37:88-89). For, his standard of spirituality was higher than seeing the stars, the moon and the sun (6:75-79), although in the view of an ordinary dream and its glad tiding, let alone heaven and things related to it, in which are certainly good news of spiritual progress, even in seeing certain things of the earth, lie allusions to success (in spirituality), such as, to see a mountain, a garden, pure water, a thing related to Islam and faith and to find oneself attached to it, etc.
