For the spiritual enlightenment of
one and all, we reproduced below the inspired commentary provided by the
Muhyi-ud-Din (atba) on certain aspects of the subtle and profound verities of Divine wisdom encompassed in Surah Ar Rahman:
The Jinns and the Humans
Surah Ar-Rahman deals with the absolute power of Allah in spreading His
mercy and benevolence to not only mankind but to the realm of the Jinns also who cohabit in the world of humans, invisible to the naked eyes – yet
there is an invisible veil which separates the two and thus the two creations
co-exist and both types of creatures of Allah are mortal.
The mortality of human is revealed when his soul leaves the
body of clay and water whereas the Jinns
get access to a body of felicity after inhabiting a body made of fire. Therefore,
the Almighty has granted knowledge to both species so that they may accede to
God.
