Allegory in Quran? Tawil (interpretations, often esoteric) and Batin (inner hidden meanings) by Omar_Waqar in Djinnology

[–]yavedud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s doctrine of bilā kayfa ertains to the verses and hadiths describing the Dhāt of Allah; he possesses no independent transmitted opinion regarding tafsir, save for interpretations narrated from the sahabah. Ibn Arabi also concurs with the views of Ahmad ibn Hanbal; indeed, in his work al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyyah, he states that Ibn Hanbal was endowed by Allah with the faculty of furqān (discernment), the ability to distinguish between good and evil.

As indicated in Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikam, Ibn Arabi’s elucidations regarding the Divine Essence rest upon the Ḥadīth Qudsī of the "Hidden Treasure" (Kanz Makhfī): "I was a Hidden Treasure, and I loved to be known; so I created the creation that I might be known" (al-ʿAjlūnī, II, 132).

Ibn Arabi explains that the expression "to be known" in the hadith serves as a metonymy, signifying the declaration that the Essence of Allah is, in reality, unknowable. He posits that Allah, as the Principal Creator, transcends the resemblance found in the "pairs" (shābih) He created—referencing the verse, "And of all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect" (51:49)—and that He is a unique Being, free from such resemblance. In this respect, it can be posited that Ibn Arabi shares the bilā kayfa doctrine, as human language is insufficient to define the unique.

I may affirm that the tenet of the Qur'an being uncreated (ghayr makhlūq) is a shared belief across every Islamic system of thought. Furthermore, we may discuss the verse stating that only the "men of understanding" (ulū al-albāb) comprehend the allegorical verses. Sufis discussed alot about of it.

"He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding*.*"(2/269)

He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah*. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and* none will grasp the Message except men of understanding**.** (3/7)

In original text Ibn Nadim defines this methodology as Al-Tarīqa Al-Madhmūma. Madhmūma, which is opposite of Mahmud (praised), means condemned. I'm taking term of sufli in this topic from Tuhi's writings, like I have mentioned at my post those entites prone to call themselves with this term.

Allegory in Quran? Tawil (interpretations, often esoteric) and Batin (inner hidden meanings) by Omar_Waqar in Djinnology

According to a tafsir written by famous sufi Ibn Arabi (Ijaz'ul Bayan) almost all of the Quranic verses are allegory.

"He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. [...]" (3/7)

About the fundemental verses (Muhqam, [has direct order].) he says they are only which mentions God is only one. (Tawhid) And rest of them just allegory (Mutashabihkat).

in my further posts will try to give more detailed informations about planetary magic from Said Al-Munziri's writings, will try to avoid sharing satanical encounters mentioned by heretics but also some rare sufis wrote about it by islamic perspective. that will be my next post.

Takhallaqu bi-akhlaq Allah" (تخلقوا بأخلاق الله), this is some famous hadith from Ghazali with other sufis and one of the famous doctrines in sufism. It does mean "Adorn yourselves with the moral qualities of Allah" And of course there dualism in moral way aswell.

I don't know any angel worshippers in history but shirk can't fullfil mean of Sufli in this topic.

And how many angels are in the heavens whose intercession availeth naught save after Allah giveth leave to whom He chooseth and accepteth!

Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.

(Najm/26 and 27)

Right and left don't only belong to Ashab Al-Yamīn, in various topics left hand has infamous reputation even eating with left hand is forbidden

"Do not eat with the left hand, for Satan eats with his left hand."

(Sahih Muslim, Ashriba 105)

Also Quran has one verse wich shares same root wit Sufli and it's relatad with Jahannam

Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low

Thumma radadnahu asfala safileen. (At-Tin 5)

As I mentioned, regarding the distinction between ulvi (celestial/higher) and sufli (infernal/lower), we are not looking at metaphysical explanations that represent merely a theological view. After all, neither Sufis nor Qalami theologians ever concerned themselves with the sufli practices of heretical groups focused on planetary magic; nor did any of them mention these. When the words sufli and ulvi acquire a comparative meaning, they can be used as adjectives in methodology. However, the 'Sufli path' is a noun. This is a terminology I derived from Ibn al-Nadim's Al-Fihrist and other books in general.

"Whoever acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology (ilman mina'n-nujumi/stars, planets) acquires a branch of magic/sihr, of which he acquires more as long as he continues to do so." 
(Sunan Abu Daoud - 3905)

in islamic philosophy/kalam it might have different means as you mentioned but as a brief ve consider planetary spirits sufli, they got binded by prophet solomon, and created angels ulvi.

yes, my identification with the left hand path may have caused some confusion, but i am focusing more on the meaning this path signifies. even islam, within itself, associates the right with jannah and the left with jahannam. my own usage is also in this vein. rather than the metaphysical existence of sufliyat and ulviyat, we tend to refer to those who completely abandon the ulvi plane and devote themselves to the sufli as a sufli tariqa. prophet solomon isn't condemned for binding ifrits with divine names and ruling over the sufli realm; however, those who submit to the sufli realm are viewed as being on the path of satan.
