76:28
Amthal 2 (Parables, likes, transformation of likes)
In the wisdom-filled verse (76:28) it is said: "We created them, and We have made their joints strong, and when We will, We will change their likes (amthal)." That is, We will change them from the dense into the subtle body. This convinces us that the dense body is not suitable for paradise, because it has many weaknesses and defects.
Q524 In the higher world the soul of every individual is like his physical form, but since that is the subtle world it is on the perfect level of beauty and elegance. Is there any wisdom-filled allusion to this fact in the wise Qur’an?
A524 • Indeed, there is the explanation of everything in the Qur’an (16:89). Reflect on the wisdom of verses (17:99; 36:81) in which by misl (like) is meant the soul: “Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like (misl) of them?” (36:81) That is, Allah is able to create “likes” of them, taking them from their bodies to their homomorphic souls. • See also verses (56:61; 76:28). This is called jism-i misali (body of similitude) and the same is every individual’s homomorphic soul.
