AL KAWTHAR(The Abundance) 
SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself
The foundation of all conscious action is knowledge, not external information, but ghaiba, the unseen knowledge embedded within you. This inner wisdom, known as Al-Kitab, is abundantly inscribed in your consciousness. Your task is to allow it to emerge, to rise from its hidden depths.This surah imparts a significant spiritual message. It begins with a divine proclamation: "Indeed, We have given you the Kawthar," which signify that you are given an abundance of spiritual knowledge and truth. This divine gift is from an infinite source of wisdom and understanding is bestowed upon those who are sincere in seeking it.
Allah reveals this knowledge continually through signs, subtle messages woven into the fabric of your daily life. To ṣolli is to connect with your Rabb, to attune yourself to these signs and perceive the deeper patterns as representations that guide you toward truth. Through this connection, the unseen becomes seen, and your life aligns with divine reality.Yet, mental impurities, self-constructed afflictions, obscure this clarity. Though they seem powerful, they are merely psychological, lacking any true root in Reality. When seen clearly in the light of awareness, without resistance or judgment, they dissolve on their own. What often stands in the way are your dunyā attachments, the subtle threads of identity, desire, fear, and control. These form veils over your inner sight, disrupting the natural flow of grace. To awaken, you must gently lay these barriers bare, bringing them into awareness and releasing them not with force, but with understanding. When your mind is purified from mental impurities, the hidden knowledge flow naturally and abundantly.
With the name of Allah, no-thing like the likeness of Him, whose name encompasses the measures and essence of all existence, both known and unknown to His servants, and the unfolding sequence of events leading to all observable outcomes. The Rahmaan, the Raheem. Rahmaan signifies the boundless system of educating the factual knowledge, while Raheem reflects the grace and mercy extended to those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom under Ar-Rahmaan.
108.1 Indeed, We have given you the kawthar / abundance (knowledge of the unseen).
NOTES : The precursor to all action is knowledge. The specific knowledge required for your inner growth and transformation, to evolve into a virtuous and harmonious being, is referred to as ghaiba, or knowledge of the unseen. This knowledge is not something external or distant from you. It resides within you, written and embedded deeply in the fabric of your consciousness, in abundance. It is called Al Kitab, the inherent script. You are inherently equipped with this unseen knowledge, and your task is to draw it out, to allow it to rise from its hidden depths. (108:1)
108.2 Then, you shall solli / connect, to your Rabb / Lord (the one who nurtures, evolves and sustains - to receive the knowledge of the unseen), wanhar / and consciously aware to dissolve (your duniya - close attachments and relationships of your mind, body and soul).
NOTES : Allah, in His infinite wisdom, continuously reveals the hidden knowledge through signs, subtle yet discernible messages for you to perceive. These signs are not random but they are woven into the experiences and circumstances of your life. By solli means you connect with your Rabb, attune yourself to these signs, begin to recognize the hidden patterns and values that point toward the truth. In this way, the knowledge of the unseen becomes accessible, allowing you to align more deeply with divine reality and embody the principles of truth in your life.
But what stands in the way are your duniya, close attachments that create the subtle bonds of identity, desire, fear, and control. These are the veils that cloud your vision, the barriers that distort your inner sight and hinder the flow of grace, and prevent the reception of what is truly abundant.
They obstruct your clarity. To truly connect is also to lay bare these barriers, to bring them into the light of awareness and gently release them. Let go, not in resistance, but in understanding. Be conscious enough to dissolve what keeps you in darkness, and in doing so, you open the space for divine light to guide you from within. (108:2)
108.3 Indeed shani'aka / your intoxication (with mental impurities), it is the abtar / the one cut off (in entirety).
NOTES : Indeed, the impurities you have constructed and the afflictions that intoxicate the mind, are the inner forces that oppose your purification. But understand that they are psychological in nature. They hold no lasting root in reality. To dissolve these mental impurities, you need not fight them. Simply recognize their impermanence. See them clearly, without judgment, in the light of awareness. When fully seen for what they are, passing mental patterns, not permanent truths, they begin to fade on their own. Presence reveals their emptiness. (108:3)
