Inspiring quotes from the Meccan Revelations (... more)


Know that death is two deaths, an original death, not an advanced life, in what is described as death, which is the Almighty’s saying, “How can you disbelieve in God when you were dead?” This is the original death, which is the nothingness that is possible, since God was known to the eye and did not exist in himself. Then the Almighty said, “And He gave you life.” And accidental death, which is what happens to a living person and takes away his life, and this is the Almighty’s saying: “Then He will cause you to die.”

This accidental death is what is required in this matter. Then he added another description, and he said: “The one with fluid blood” means the animal that has a fluid spirit, that is, it moves through all its parts, not wanting from its life itself, which is its soul, which is for all existing things. Then he added another description, so he said. The one who is not in my water means the land animal, that is, the one on land. What is the animal of the sea, since the sea is an expression of knowledge? So he says, “I do not mean the animal that exists in God’s knowledge, for in that a dispute arises. Rather, I want the animal whose eye appeared and whose life was in the air. So with all of these conditions, its impurity is proven without dispute, so if it is removed.” One of these conditions was not required by the agreement .

If the servant’s life is temporary and not intrinsic, then he should not be proud of it or claim it. When he claimed and said “I” and was absent from the witnesses of the one who revived him, accidental death was presented to him, meaning this is your origin, so return him to his origin, but he is not pure because of the claim and the forgetfulness of the one who revived him. Then we looked at the reason that caused it. For this claim, he said that he was innocent, so we said, “What is the meaning of his being innocent?” He said, “His life is from the air,” so we learned that the desire is what he wanted, as God Almighty said and forbade the soul from desire. For every person who hesitates between two passions is bound to perish, as our friend Abu Zaid Abd al-Rahman al-Fazazi, may God have mercy on him, said. < /p

As for considering pork meat, its meat is the source of bloody life, for meat is solid blood and the characteristic of porcine, which is craving for the filth that souls create, is reprehensible in morals. If life is lost from that, the meat is impure, and that is if it happens that he has the reprehensible character, he is absent from the Sharia ruling on it, which is His soul was dead in his own right.

God Almighty said, “And the recompense for a bad deed is a bad deed like it.” He said the like of it, and did not restrict it in such and such a way, so He attached it to the reprehensible character. Then He said, “Whoever does not do it, then he who pardons and makes amends.” He pointed out that abandoning the recompense for a bad deed is an act of good morals, and that is why we said, “With what thing did his life go, since purification has no effect.” It contains purity

The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said about the man who asked for retaliation against a murderer who is his guardian. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, asked him to pardon him or accept blood money, but he refused, so he said, “Take him.” So he took him. When he stood up, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: Either Killing him was like what He meant by the Almighty’s saying, “And the recompense for an evil is an evil like it.” That statement reached the man, so he returned to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and refrained from killing him.

He bases on this the issue of good and evil, which is a big issue that people have delved into, and this chapter is not the place to be explored. About the truth of that, even though we have mentioned it in this book .

The third of the agreed-upon impurities is the blood itself from a wild animal if it is separated from a living or dead animal and it is in large quantities, I mean such that it becomes bloated. We have informed you that a wild animal is cursed and exists for itself, what exists in God’s knowledge, like a sea animal, and that its life is in the air, and that blood is the origin. What emerges from its heat is the vapor from which the life of that animal is formed, which is the animal spirit. Since the blood was originally in this impurity, it was more deserving of the impurity than what it generated.

What bequeathed to the servant the claim was the glory with which man was created, since he was the sum of the world and absolutely identical to all existing things, and when he was absent from the divine care for him in that and the original death that God warned about in His saying, “And you were dead,” and His Almighty’s saying, “And I created you before, and you were not a thing,” and His saying It was not something mentioned, so the scholars agreed on its impurity if it was indecent, meaning that he was largely negligent in this matter. If it was not indecent, then there was no agreement on this ruling .

The fourth is the urine of the son of Adam, and his return is his esteem. Know that whoever has a noble rank and a high status, his little one will grow up, and whoever has a lowly status and a lowly rank, his old one will be small. And a person of honorable status, high in rank, is the agent of truth and the teacher of the angels, so he should be purified by whoever associates with him and sanctified by whoever he associates with. So when he neglected his reality, he was preoccupied with his nature, so he accompanied him. He took the good from pure things, such as food and drinks, by nature, not by nature, and took out their bad by nature .
