"Audhu billahi minash shaytanirrajeem"
Bismi Llaahi l-raḥmaani l-raḥeem
-
Aliflammeem;
Alif, Lam, Meem.
-
Tanzeelu alkitabi la rayba feehi min rabbi alAAalameena;
This is the knowledge (Book) of the reality and sunnatullah revealed from the Rabb of the worlds (the Rabb of ‘humans’)!
Not:In many places throughout the Quran the word ‘worlds’ has been used to denote ‘humans’. This is worth examining and contemplating.
-
Am yaqooloona iftarahu bal huwa alhaqqu min rabbika litunthira qawman ma atahum min natheerin min qablika laAAallahum yahtadoona;
Or do they say, “He made it up”! Never! It is the Truth from your Rabb so that with it you may warn the people to whom no warner has come before you... Perhaps they will (evaluate and) attain the reality.
-
Allahu allathee khalaqa alssamawati waalarda wama baynahuma fee sittati ayyamin thumma istawa AAala alAAarshi ma lakum min doonihi min waliyyin wala shafeeAAin afala tatathakkaroona;
It is Allah who created the heavens (the levels of the self and consciousness) and the earth (the body – brain) and everything in between them in six stages (the six stages in terms of the creation of humans are: 1. Sperm/egg; 2. Conception [zygote]; 3. Cell division; 4. Cellular differentiation; 5. The formation of the organs; and 6. Specialization of organs with various functions and the formation of consciousness and the senses) and then He established Himself on the Throne (commenced administration in the world of acts with His Names)... You have no guardian or intercessor besides Him... Do you still not contemplate and evaluate this?
Not:There are two ways of looking at this verse according to my understanding: In respect of man’s external world and in terms of man’s existence.
-
Yudabbiru alamra mina alssamai ila alardi thumma yaAAruju ilayhi fee yawmin kana miqdaruhu alfa sanatin mimma taAAuddoona;
He governs the earth (the brain) from the heaven (through the cosmic electromagnetic energy emanating from the qualities of the Names in the form of celestial constellations [star signs] that affect the second brain in the gut and thus one's consciousness, or from an internal perspective, through the Names that become manifest in one's brain based on the holographic reality)... Then it will ascend to Him in a time, the extent of which is a thousand years (the ascension to the life of the spirit-body or a dimensional return to one's essence).
-
Thalika AAalimu alghaybi waalshshahadati alAAazeezu alrraheemu;
Thus (Allah) is the Knower of the unknown (unperceivable) and the manifest (perceivable), the Aziz, the Rahim.
-
Allathee ahsana kulla shayin khalaqahu wabadaa khalqa alinsani min teenin;
It is He who has created everything perfectly! He began the creation of man from clay (the eggs).
-
Thumma jaAAala naslahu min sulalatin min main maheenin;
Then He made his lineage from a basic fluid (sperm).
-
Thumma sawwahu wanafakha feehi min roohihi wajaAAala lakumu alssamAAa waalabsara waalafidata qaleelan ma tashkuroona;
Then He proportioned him (formed his brain such that the neurons evaluate the various wavelengths to manifest the meanings of the Names) and breathed into him from His own Spirit (the act of breathing into something goes outward from within, that is, the manifestation of the Names within the data level of the brain is referred to as ‘Allah’s spirit’ in existence... Allah knows best)... And He made for you hearing (perception), sight (vision) and hearts (the reflectors of the meanings of the Names to the brain – heart neurons)... How little you thank (evaluate)!
-
Waqaloo aitha dalalna fee alardi ainna lafee khalqin jadeedin bal hum biliqai rabbihim kafiroona;
They said, “When we have become nothing beneath the earth, will we continue life with a new form?” No, they refuse to be enlightened about the manifestation (meeting) of their Rabb (with His Names) through their existence.
-
Qul yatawaffakum malaku almawti allathee wukkila bikum thumma ila rabbikum turjaAAoona;
Say, “The angel of death (the force of death – the force that pulls one from the biological-body to a life in the domain of the spirit-body) who has been entrusted with you (a function that is already present in your system) that will cause you to die (separate you from your body)! Then to your Rabb you will be returned (You will realize your essential reality).”
-
Walaw tara ithi almujrimoona nakisoo ruoosihim AAinda rabbihim rabbana absarna wasamiAAna faarjiAAna naAAmal salihan inna mooqinoona;
You should see the guilty ones (who deny the knowledge of the reality) when they bow their heads in the sight of their Rabb and say, “Our Rabb... We have seen and perceived the Truth! So return us (to the world – the life of the body) so we may fulfill the requisites! Indeed, we have attained certainty (now).”
-
Walaw shina laatayna kulla nafsin hudaha walakin haqqa alqawlu minnee laamlaanna jahannama mina aljinnati waalnnasi ajmaAAeena;
If We had so willed, We could have enabled every being (illusory self; ego) to realize its essential reality, but My word: “I will surely fill Hell (the conditions to manifest the specific configuration of the qualities of the Names that result in an infernal state of life) with jinn and man all together” is in effect.
-
Fathooqoo bima naseetum liqaa yawmikum hatha inna naseenakum wathooqoo AAathaba alkhuldi bima kuntum taAAmaloona;
So taste (the suffering) for having forgotten the meeting of this day! In truth, We have also forgotten you! Taste the eternal suffering because of your deeds!
-
Innama yuminu biayatina allatheena itha thukkiroo biha kharroo sujjadan wasabbahoo bihamdi rabbihim wahum la yastakbiroona;
Only those believe in Our signs who, when they are reminded, they prostrate and selflessly glorify their Rabb (fulfill their functions) as His Hamd. (This is a verse of prostration.)
-
Tatajafa junoobuhum AAani almadajiAAi yadAAoona rabbahum khawfan watamaAAan wamimma razaqnahum yunfiqoona;
They arise from their beds (at night) and pray to their Rabb with fear and with hope... They unrequitedly give from the life sustenance with which We have provided them!
-
Fala taAAlamu nafsun ma okhfiya lahum min qurrati aAAyunin jazaan bima kanoo yaAAmaloona;
And no one knows the blessings of joy kept hidden in store for them as a result of their deeds!
-
Afaman kana muminan kaman kana fasiqan la yastawoona;
Is one who believes equal to one with corrupt beliefs? They are not equal!
-
Amma allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati falahum jannatu almawa nuzulan bima kanoo yaAAmaloona;
Those who believe and fulfill the requisites of their faith, there are Paradises of Refuge for them, as a result of what they have done (an experience that will emerge from within their essence).
-
Waamma allatheena fasaqoo famawahumu alnnaru kullama aradoo an yakhrujoo minha oAAeedoo feeha waqeela lahum thooqoo AAathaba alnnari allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona;
As for those with corrupt beliefs, their abode is fire! Every time they want to leave they will be returned to it and told, “Taste the suffering of the fire that you denied!”
-
Walanutheeqannahum mina alAAathabi aladna doona alAAathabi alakbari laAAallahum yarjiAAoona;
And We will surely make them taste the nearer suffering (in their world) before the greatest (eternal) suffering, that perhaps they will turn back.
-
Waman athlamu mimman thukkira biayati rabbihi thumma aAArada AAanha inna mina almujrimeena muntaqimoona;
And who does more wrong than the one who, when he is reminded of the signs of his Rabb within his own essence, turns away from them? Indeed, We will make the guilty taste the results of their doings!
-
Walaqad atayna moosa alkitaba fala takun fee miryatin min liqaihi wajaAAalnahu hudan libanee israeela;
Indeed, We gave the knowledge (the Book) to Moses... So do not be in doubt (now) of having reached it (the knowledge)! We have made it a guide for the Children of Israel.
-
WajaAAalna minhum aimmatan yahdoona biamrina lamma sabaroo wakanoo biayatina yooqinoona;
And when they are patient, We made leaders among them, under Our command, to guide them to the reality! They were certain of Our signs!
-
Inna rabbaka huwa yafsilu baynahum yawma alqiyamati feema kanoo feehi yakhtalifoona;
Indeed, your Rabb is HU and He will judge between them during Doomsday regarding the things over which they dispute.
-
Awalam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna min qablihim mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna fee thalika laayatin afala yasmaAAoona;
Did it not show them the Truth, how We destroyed so many generations before them, as they walk upon their dwellings? Indeed, there are lessons in this... Do they still not perceive?
-
Awalam yaraw anna nasooqu almaa ila alardi aljuruzi fanukhriju bihi zarAAan takulu minhu anAAamuhum waanfusuhum afala yubsiroona;
Did they not see how We channel the water to a barren land and with it We bring forth the crops from which they and their animals eat? Do they still not see?
-
Wayaqooloona mata hatha alfathu in kuntum sadiqeena;
They say, “When will be the conquest (the absolute conquest [fath] – the complete unveiling of the reality through the experience of death) if you are of the truthful?”
-
Qul yawma alfathi la yanfaAAu allatheena kafaroo eemanuhum wala hum yuntharoona;
Say, “During that time when the conquest is experienced, the belief of those who were in denial of the knowledge of the reality (before tasting death) will be of no avail to them, and they will not be reprieved.”
-
FaaAArid AAanhum waintathir innahum muntathiroona;
So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are also waiting!
