64:3
It is written in Muslim (IV, 2183-84): “God, the Lord of honour and majesty, created Hazrat Adam in His own image...”. Further, it is said: “Whoever will go to Paradise, will be in the form of Hazrat Adam.” It is necessary to reflect on this Prophetic Hadith that, although the absolute Paradise is after death, nonetheless, is it not appropriate to ask: Are not a pious servant’s spiritual progress and closeness to God, a kind of Paradise? Why not? Definitely, they are Paradise. Thus it should be remembered that, by the closeness of God, the form of the soul improves and becomes the form of Adam, which is the form of God (Surat-i Rahmani). This Hadith is an interpretation of the verse (64:3) : “He formed you, then made goodly your forms”. Its implied meanings are that God created the form of your soul, then (at the place of proximity) adorned it with the colour of light and granted it the status of the form of Adam (2:138). This explanation shows that there is great scope for the spiritual progress of mu'mins.
