AL GHASHIYAH
(The Overwhelming)
SUMMARY
A hadith serves as an embodiment of truth, containing within it ayaati/signs that are perceivable in the lower consciousness by our brains. The purpose of these signs is to effectively communicate and convey inherent values and information, aiding the recipient in interpreting and comprehending the truth it represents. This initiates a spiritual journey of self-discovery, where individuals strive to understand and discern the truth embedded in these signs. Success in this journey is reflected in the humility demonstrated, accompanied by the evident distinction and diligent effort invested in the process.
Connection with higher consciousness brings forth fresh knowledge through a matured perception. Those in tune with this elevated state acquire knowledge solely through humility, with no nourishment or sustenance against hunger, as this knowledge is bestowed upon the sincere (mukhlasin). In that moment, your life's goal or purpose is to receive blissful knowledge in Jannatin, the hidden garden of Allah's wisdom. Within Jannatin, non-factual knowledge will not reach your ears. Instead, the vision of factual knowledge will flow continuously, bringing delight and elevating you to a higher consciousness.
And vessels of knowledge are put in place in a state of readiness, creating an atmosphere of understanding that develops from the vessels arranged in rows, forming an unmarked pattern with no space in between. This knowledge is then rolled out, ready to be digested, and is in a state of permeation, spread out for understanding and discernment.
Do they not reflect upon the evolution of skills? Be aware, for indeed, you are the one who is aware. You are not above them who tell stories, except for those who turn away and reject (tuwalla/kafara). For them, Allah will inflict a greater punishment. Indeed, their ultimate return is to Allah, and upon Him rests their account of what they reject.
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).
