AL MAARIJ
(The Levels Of Ascension)
SUMMARY
Al-Maarij represents the levels of ascension, depicting the trajectory of awareness in our evolutionary journey. It involves elevating our faculties of authority and expanding our spirit of consciousness from basic individual awareness to the universal unity consciousness of the absolute, irreducible oneness of existence. Allah is the possessor of this ascension, and nothing else, including our conceptualized soul, has a place in it. The measure of success lies in the corresponding dissolution of impurities and the dispelling of the illusory existence of otherness.
This Surah describes the elevation of faculties of authority and spirit as akin to permeating murky oil, deliberately flowing and gradually opening the path for embodying our higher self. Patience is a prerequisite for this flow, as impurities include fixed-headed thoughts at the cellular level, emotional attachments, conflicting thoughts vying for dominance, and thoughts violating the beautifully constructed covenant. Additionally, thoughts from the same cloud of brotherly thoughts, such as liberality and courage, can misguide with negativity, creating flames of conflicts in the pursuit of truth and the embodiment of our higher self.
The "insaan," one familiar with the truth, seeks to evolve towards embodying that truth. Success for insaan in achieving perfection lies in "aqimus salaah," establishing a connection with Al Kitab (our inherent script) to download and accept guidance for evolution and ascension. Constantly establishing such a connection, they accumulate knowledge from Al Kitab, enabling them to recalibrate their mind, body, and soul for the embodiment of their higher self.
They find themselves in Jannah, hidden gardens of knowledge, where they witness the truth, enlighten themselves, and draw near to Allah, becoming the honored ones.
By the (divine and all comprehensive) name Allah (that carry an elevated hidden meaning to it's name), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the abstract education system of Allah that provide the abundant knowledge of facts and the Raheem is the approval given to those who seek the education through Ar Rahman).
