49:10
Example 9: Water by the example of its centre (i.e. ocean) indicates that there is a great centre of soul or knowledge, which in the true sense is the main fountainhead of spiritual knowledge. Thus the Noble Qur'an says: "Indeed, the mu'mins (of all the Prophets) are brothers." (49:10), but the unity of the Prophets is greater than that of the mu'mins. They are the proof of the Single Soul or nafs-i wahidah (31:28) and "light upon light" (24:35), and the pure Imams are not separate from them. Then mu'mins are attached to them with the thread of obedience and adversaries are brought into their presence for their hostility to them. Thus there is a centre and ocean of souls. Then the light and radiation of the absolute light touches this ocean, as a result of which the spiritual clouds rise and cause the rain of knowledge and wisdom. That is, under the influence of this light, which has many names, from the centre of souls the clouds of ibadat (pi. of ibadat), adhkar (pi. of dhikr), prayers, supplications (munajat) and sighs rise up towards the higher world and the rain of mercy and knowledge pours from there.
Symbolic Language I said : He said
I said: It is said in verse (49:10): "The believers are naught else than brothers. Therefore make peace between your two brothers." This shows that religious brotherhood is confined only to the believers. In this case how is all of mankind threaded in the string of religious brotherhood?
He said: Listen carefully! Many of the verses of the Glorious Qur’an speak in the language of tanzil or in the language of ta’wil that the religion of Islam, in the world of particles has superseded all the religions of the world and that in the future this will also be so in the physical world, for as it was said to the Prophet: "We have given you an open victory" (48:1). Also it is said: "When God’s succour and victory will come and you will see mankind entering the religion of God in troops" (110:1-2). This is an example of the victory of the religion of God in the world of particles. In this way, all people, first in the rank of soul, will be the spiritual children of the Natiq and the Asas and then, in the rank of Intellect, will be the children of the Universal Soul and the Universal Intellect.
