94:5
Q. In your conversations and writing you sometimes use the phrase "heavenly love". What is meant by this love and what is its purpose?
A. By "heavenly love" is meant that extremely sacred, pure and ardent love, which is in the hearts of the people of faith for God, the Prophet and the Imam of the time, which is enjoined in many ayats of the Qur'an. As for its benefits, what can one say about them in this world and the next world! If the purpose of religion is well-wishing, then its best form is love. It is through love that all religious obligations become easy. About the exegesis of "Verily, with every difficulty there is ease" (94:5), we can also say that every difficult task becomes easy with love. Divine remembrance of love is the supreme remembrance (dhikr-i azam) and greatest dhikr (dhikr-i akbar), which is initially with the rubab, and on the higher level it is with Sur-i Israfil. The form of supreme remembrance is that, not only the tongue and heart, but all the particles of soul and all cells of body together and in harmony remember God. In this state the light of love surrounds the existence of the believing servant.
Q358' It is mentioned in verses (94:5-6): “Verily, with every hardship there is ease, verily with every hardship there is ease.” What is the esoteric wisdom of these verses?
A358
- Every difficult task becomes easy by one means or another.
- Similarly, every difficult work of the Qur’an and Islam becomes easy through the light of guidance.
- God did not say that difficulty does not exist rather He has said that it is there, but there is also a means of ease with it. Praise belongs to God, the Lord of the worlds!
