THE
EXTRAORDINARY
COMPREHENSIVENESS OF
THE
KNOWLEDGE THE QURAN
This
relates to the
extraordinary
comprehensiveness of the
knowledge the Quran
includes. Besides having
caused to flow forth
from the oceans of its
own knowledge, the
numerous and various
sciences of the Shari’a,
the many and varied
sciences of truth (haqiqa),
and the innumerable
different sciences of
the religious orders (tariqa),
the Quran also makes
flow from itself
regularly and
prolifically true wisdom
and scientific knowledge
of the sphere of
contingencies (i.e. the
material world), and
true knowledge of the
realm of necessity, that
is, true knowledge of
the Divine realm, and
the esoteric knowledge
of the Hereafter. It
would need a very large
and separate volume to
give examples of this
gleam. As examples, I
refer the reader to the
Words so far written.
The truths expounded in
these twenty-five Words
are only twenty-five
drops from the oceans of
the Quran’s knowledge.
If there are errors in
those Words, they come
from my defective
understanding.
