 Many Ways Of Traveling From WIE's Spiritual Roadmap (_e102) |
|||
| 1st kind of traveling: | It is the mind's journey to find the signs (& proofs) of God and to understand that He exists. (As-S.âni`) . |
[see where and how to] find the signs of God and understand that He exists |
signs: ayah in the cosmos (al-a`lâm), and in the Quran (ayatu-l qur.ân), [which both are divine manifestations]. |
| cosmos: sum total of possible things, (al-mumkinât) either existing or non-existing. [Non-existing: either not-yet existing, or not-any-longer existing, or non-existing for now.] |
The cosmos - al-a`lâm from al-`alâma to mark, since it is a proof of the Preponderator (Al-Murajjih): The Necessary Being Al-Wujûd gives 'preponderance' (tarjîh.) to the existence of the possible things, over their non-existence through the Divine command: 'BE'. ('kun') |
||
| From the signs and marks it is easy to see, that ev-th [in the cosmos] is the self-disclosure of wujûd: | 'There is no-th in wujûd but God - Allah, and wujûd is acquired only from Him. |
||
On the meaning of man's possibility:
What is the nature of existence that is attributed to the possible thing (incl. man)? [It can be either existence or non-existence:] |
|||
| non-existence <---- | man / the cosmos |
----> existence | |
| Neither (of the above relationships) can be preferred. The Murajjih Preponderator will give preponderance (tarjîh.) to one description over the other. |
|||
| "In his travel [for finding God, the signs of ~] he finds no proof for (that*) other than his own possibility." (imkân) Then he [i.e. the wayfarer] uncovers the existence if his Preponderator. [and begins the 2nd part of the journey.] |
* - he cannot give existence to himself, - he cannot choose between non-existence and existence. |
||
| 2nd kind of traveling: (after having uncovered the existence of his Maker (As-S.âni`) |
"Journey into the knowledge of that which should be known about (the/his) Maker, Who has brought him into existence. |
Proof: [Things can be compared, bec. they have something in common, whereas] He alone is incomparable. = incomparable with the poverty [lack of power] of the possible things, incl. man |
He is the The Necessary Being, bec. He is necessary through Himself (Itself), as He is not necessary through any other. (bi-l ghair) |
