51:21
A special name of the personal world is the world of particles (`alam-i dharr). It is the extract and quintessence of the macrocosm. This means that the macrocosm or the external world is a wonderful, magnificent and unprecedented kingdom. All the treasures of its sovereign and its capital are in the personal world. It is in this sense that God, the All-powerful, enfolds the external world in the Perfect Men (the Qur'an: 51:21; 41:53 ). In another example, the external world is a huge garden with countless fruitful trees, whose tender branches, with their varied and extremely sweet fruits, are bent over the personal world or the world of the heart (76:14).
