AL QADRThe Measurement - In Self-Realization
SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself
Surah Al-Qadr unveils the profound reality of Lailatul Qadr, the measurement of darkness, a journey of self-realization where you confront your limitations and recognizes the barriers that have obstructed the reception of divine guidance. It is an inward reckoning, an assessment of how deeply your understanding aligns with Allah’s message. Lailatul Qadr signifies an inner awakening, a transition from intellectual obscurity into clarity, not through blind acceptance, but through the rational mind’s direct recognition of divine wisdom. It is the moment when the veils of ignorance begin to lift, revealing the light of truth that has always been present but was once unseen.
This process of measurement begins with deep self-reflection, where one becomes intensely aware of the layers of darkness veiling their perception. Such an introspective journey marks the onset of a profound transformation, where contemplation and awareness dissolve the illusions that distort reality. To recognize and acknowledge one's limitations is not a setback but a necessary step toward expansion. It is within this heightened awareness that Allah unveils the Quran, the embodiment of truth. The act of measuring your own darkness is a divine process, one that transcends habitual patterns of ignorance and spiritual blindness. By the permission of the Sustainer, the Quran descends with absolute authority, carrying the essence of truth that pierces through all veils, illuminating what was once hidden. (97:1-3)
At the heart of this self-realization, your inner authority reclaims discernment, shifting it from the restlessness of your mind into the stillness of conscious awareness. Within this clarity, the spirit, the very essence of truth, emerges and unfolds. As the barriers of darkness dissolve, a profound peace takes root, and a guiding light breaks through, illuminating the path where truth is revealed. (97:4-5)
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.
97.1 Certainly, We anzalnaahu / have revealed it (quran - the expression of the truth) in lailatil qadr / measured darkness (self-realization of own limitations, and layers of barriers that block the light of guidance and alignmen of own understanding to Allah's message, are accounted for).
97.2 And do you know what is lailatul qadr / the measured darkness ?
97.3 Lailatul qadr / measured darkness (recognition of your own limitation, barriers that block the light and alignment to A the truth are realized and accounted for) is better from alfi shahrin / notably embraced (what you are currently embracing).
97.4 In it, the malaikah / inner authority and the ruh / spirit (essence of truth) is revealed with the permission of their Rabb / Lord from every amri / command.
97.5 There is salamun / peace, hatta / to the point of emergence of the fajr / early light of guidance (that will pierce - through the barriers of darkness - a passage for the truth).
