79 - SURAH AN NAAZI"AT

 

AN NAAZIAT

(Strong Pull To Go Against Allah's Order)

Summary  

 

As we unveil the veil of ignorance, we immerse ourselves in a state of inner silence—a realm of stillness and presence that bestows upon us clarity and insight, guiding us on our spiritual journey to unveil the truth. Within this profound silence, we attune ourselves to the whispers of our inner wisdom and harmonize with the deeper currents of life. The pursuit of inner wisdom transforms into a quest to reveal our authentic selves, transcending the layers of conditioning and ignorance. This odyssey culminates in self-acceptance, self-love, and a profound connection with our inner essence. We emerge as inquisitive explorers of the unknown, driven by a desire to expand our knowledge and deepen our understanding. This curiosity serves as a catalyst for innovation, creativity, and the ongoing evolution of human consciousness.

Facing the unknown of the spiritual world may evoke fear instead of embracing it. Surah "An Naaziat" describes the strong inclination to go against the truth and immerse oneself in the knowledge of falsehood, leading to this affliction. In this state, the ego refuses to shift its paradigm and transform into a higher consciousness. With the dominant desire to compete and outstrip each other, rational thinking gains prominence and overshadows intuition. Trusting rational thinking buries deep the sense of inner guidance and clarity. In that moment, emotional thinking (heart) is swollen by the inflated ego.

Those who place trust in their rational thinking perceive the beauty of truth as imperfection. Shedding their illusory greatness and returning to Allah in a state they consider unsound is viewed as a regressive return. Here enters Musa, a figure acquainted with the truth, beckoning those resistant to the shift with an unassuming mind, asserting that they have transgressed. In this light, they have not attained any mental growth and development. Musa, in this context, becomes the embodiment of the greatest sign. Those with a superiority complex will reject the sign and exert every effort to refute it.

Then, your Rabb/Lord will make a proclamation that He is your Rabb/Lord and seizes them to take heed of the impending punishment, unveiling the beautiful commencement of higher consciousness. Indeed, in the ending of the duniya and the commencement of consciousness, there are lessons to be learned. Do you believe your evolution in lower consciousness is comparable to the one Allah evolves and shapes in higher consciousness? The lesson is learned the moment the insaan, inclined to the truth, independently becomes aware of their occupation and the dark hole of ignorance they reside in. For those who remain fixed-headed and refuse to shift, their abode will be the dark hole of ignorance. But those who dissolve their egoistic firmness and prohibit the soul from contamination of desires, their abode is jannah, the hidden garden of knowledge. As for those who fear the maqam, establishing the factual knowledge of their Rabb/Lord, and restrain the soul from desires, they will have a direct experience of the truth. It's as though, the moment they perceive it, they had not brought to life anything except the early part of darkness (where perception is starting to be difficult) or its penetrating light of clarity.

                               

With the name Allah (the All-Encompassing Source whose name encompasses the measurements of existence and the unfolding chain of events leading to all observable outcomes), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the boundless system of factual knowledge and the Raheem is the grace bestowed upon those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom through the guidance of Ar Rahmaan).

80 - SURAH ABASA

 

ABASA

(Distressful)

SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself 

Overwhelmed by your affliction, you may find yourself turning away from the truth, succumbing to a blindness that obscured your vision and diverted you from the path of righteousness. What could lead someone to such a deviation? Ideally, the trials you faced should have sparked a mental evolution, a deepening of wisdom and insight forged from the crucible of his experiences. Awareness, and embodiment of the divine masculine attributes like having strong logic, focus, assertiveness, bracery to explore, can become a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation.

However, those who perceive themselves as self-sufficient, who bask in the glow of unearned success with joy and gratitude, are often the least likely to undergo this vital mental development. Their sense of self-satisfaction dulls the desire to seek deeper understanding or question the foundations of their beliefs. In contrast, those who actively seek knowledge, who harbor a deep-seated fear of losing their connection to the truth, will find themselves driven by an inner compulsion in the embodiment of the divine masculine attributes and pursue the truth with unwavering dedication.

Certainly, those who turn away from the truth, who allow themselves to be seduced by the comfort of ignorance, will not experience any meaningful mental development or growth. Their awareness, if not aligned with the pursuit of truth, remains barren and unproductive, offering no true benefit to their spiritual or intellectual progress.

On the other hand, those who have refined their reasoning abilities, ascend to a higher plane of understanding. They are equipped with the strength and guidance needed to make powerful, discerning judgments. Those who are acquainted with the truth work diligently to eliminate any rejected or erroneous notions, ensuring that these discarded beliefs no longer cloud their thought processes. The extent of their evolution is measured by the depth of knowledge they have acquired and integrated into their lives.

However, there are those who, even after an independent process of rationalization, choose to reject and turn away from the truth. These individuals, despite the opportunities for growth and enlightenment, deviate from the righteous path, guided by influences other than the divine guidance of Allah. In their rejection, they lose their way, straying further from the truth and the potential for true mental and spiritual development.

With the name Allah (the All-Encompassing Source whose name encompasses the measurements of existence and the unfolding chain of events leading to all observable outcomes), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the boundless system of factual knowledge and the Raheem is the grace bestowed upon those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom through the guidance of Ar Rahmaan).
