Fertility and longevity
It is asked how in this world is possible for a 55 year old woman at 1400 years ago that longevity was way shorter than now could give birth to 6 children?
“Despite the foundation of a house is fallen into ruin, yet its owner is thinking about the design of its porch.”
خانه ازپای بست ویرانست خواجه دربندنقش ایوانست
What should be the top priority of our interest, believing in God as the Creator of the universe or knowing about the fertility and longevity of women in the past and present?
Yet before investigating the issue of fertility, infertility, longevity and brevity, for the following reasons; it is required to make a systematic inquiry about the presence of a supernatural being.
1-The amazing world order for millions of years and a wonderful but stable rhythmic flow of our body from the beginning, without any collapse, prove that a supernatural being must be there to supervise and manage them at any moment ceaselessly. Let us see what divine book reveals the reality, the Old-Testament or the Qur'an.
“Ask Him earnestly every creature in the heavens and on earth, and every day He is concerned with a new matter.” The Qur'an, chapter 55: 29
يسئله من في السموات والارض، كل يوم هوفي شأن.
“God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it.” Genesis, 2:2
2-The existence of remarkable varieties of organisms in any species such as plants, animals, fishes, birds, fruits, and so on, living under one identical condition, strongly prove the presence of one Omnipotent planner.
“On earth, there are adjacent plots producing grape orchards, crop fields, and palm trees, singled or doubled (Male and female with separated roots or mixed with one root). While they are supplied with one sort of water, We give the preference of the eating value of some of them over others. Surely, in this regard there are signs for those who think.”13: 4
وفي الارض قطع متجاورات وجنات من اعناب وزرع ونخيل ضنوان وغيرصنوان‘يسقي بما واحد و‘نفضٌل بعضها علي بعض في الاكل، انٌ في ذلك لأيات لقوم يعقلون.
3-Significant modification of fertility, infertility, longevity and brevity in all creatures, including human beings, at a time, and managing them distinctively, as well as making unique DNA for every single creature strongly prove the influence of one Supernatural being
“Does man think that we will never put back hid bones together again? Yes, We are always capable for making his finger tip.” 75: 3, 4
ايحسب الانسان النٌ نجمع عظامه، بلي قادرين علي ان‘نسوٌيه بنانه.
“He is God, the Creator of all, The Initiator of all shapes, and the Designer of DNA for every species. 59: 24
هوالله الخالق الباري المصوٌر.
4-Our body’s organs, derived from one fertilized egg, are totally diversified from each other of every respect such as function, longevity and fertility, while their make-up and living condition are exactly alike. This would establish that one God must be there to plan them differently but very cooperatively. So that if all organs follow one rule to be accurately and mutually cooperative, we will live long without any head ache. But when any of them turns to stand against the established rule, like cancer cells, the body cannot resist anymore and will die shortly.
“There is specific life span for every community, so that their term cannot be either postponed or advanced when it would spire.” 7: 34
ولكل امه اجل فاداجاء اجلهم لايستاخرون ساعه ولايستقدمون.
5-In the creation of the universe and its discipline there is nothing irrelevant to the exigency of the wisdom of the most Merciful. And if you look again and again your sight will be exhausted without seeing any incompatibility. This means that an Omnipotent, Omniscient supernatural must be to make the universe impeccable.
“He created seven heavens in layers without seeing any defect in the creation of the Most Gracious. Keep looking, do you see any incompatibility? Look again and again, your eyes will turn exhausted without seeing any defect.” 67: 3, 4
الذي خلق سبع سموات طباقا،ماتري في خلق الرحمن من تفاوت، فارجع البصرهل تري من فطور؟ ثم ارجع البصركرتين ينقلب اليك البصرخاسئاوهوحسير.
Despite considering the above witty remarks, overwhelming people take opposite positions before sending Divines books and dispatching messengers. They may think they are superfluous and are nothing but to deceive them. Is there any possibility to accept that they came down to guide us for a wonderful life? They may think that God will get benefit if being obeyed, while they do not gain any advantage of their obedience. Should they believe that God would lose His Splendor if they disobey Him, or they would sustain great hardship and calamity by disobeying Him?
Let us see what the Qur'an has revealed in this regard, because this book, among its counterparts, is the most comprehensive one in its series. As the Prophet of Islam is the seal of the prophets not the seal of the messengers, his book is the seal of the divine books as a guide-book, containing all necessary information about how to handle our body and mind.
Manufactures usually make guide books (Manuals) for most sophisticated products to give them to their customers when they purchase such complicated merchandises. But they do not typically make such a manual for easily-handled products. If buyers do not read related manual carefully and apply its rules properly, they may not enjoy the purchased merchandise or they may lose their asset by abusing it. That is why the Old-Testament and the New-Testament are not remarkable things for Moses and Jesus (AS) but the Qur'an is the miracle of Mohammad, peace and greeting is due to him and his family. As no body could challenge Moses and Jesus’ miracles, no one could compete with the Qur'an either. Qur'an has many names to name a few are, Qur'an (Reading book), Zikr (Keeping in mind), Furqaan (distinction between right and wrong), the best narration, explaining for everything, a book of wisdom, and many others.
“And whoever disregards My Zikr; surely, will have a miserable situation in this life, and will We will resurrect him on the Day of Judgment blind.” 20: 124
من اعرض عن ذكري فانٌ له معيشه ضنكاونحشره يوم القيامه اعمي.
“If you deny Him, you must know that God truly does not need you. Yet He dislikes seeing His servants turn to be disbelievers. But if you turn to be thankful, your thanks will please Him.” 39: 7
ان تكفروافانٌ الله غنيٌ عنكم،ولايرضي لعباده الكفر،وان تشكروايرضه لكم.
“Truly those who disbelieve will be told, ‘God will hate you more than you hate yourself, when you are invited to belief but you chose disbelief.” 40:10
انٌ الذين كفروا‘ينادون لمقت الله اكبرمن مقتكم انفسكم اذ‘تدعون الي الايمان فتكفرون.
“This is a revelation from the Lord of the universe. Do you daub and take lightly such a revelation, and make your daily bread by denying it?” 56: 80-82
تنزيل من رب العالمين، افبهذاالحديث انتم مدهنون وتجعلون رزقكم انكم تكذبونٌ؟
“Look, how they lied to themselves and how their deities they had invented forsake them.” 6: 24
‘انظركيف كذبواعلي انفسهم،وضلٌ عنهم ماكانوايفترون.
Look at the following revelation which reveals an unusual experience for one of the prophets who was passing by a ruined and desolated village during his trip with his donkey and provision. He asked himself, ‘How God will give life back to the people of this village who have died. Thereupon God caused him to die for hundred years then brought him back to life. How long do you think you have been here, He asked? Looking around, he said, one day or part of a day. He said, no way, you have been here for one hundred years. Look at your food and drink, they have not rotted. But look at your donkey to make sure that you have been here for 100 years and make you an example of resurrection for people. And look at the rotted bones of your donkey how We assemble them and cover with flesh to revive it. After realizing everything, he said, ‘I know that God truly has power over all things. 2: 259
اوكالذي مرٌعلي قريه وهي خاويه علي عروشها،قال أنيٌ‘يحي هذه الله بعدموتها،فاماته الله ماته عام ثم بعثه،قال كم لبثت،قال لبثت يومااوبعض يوم،قال بل لبثت ماته عام،فانظرالي طعامك وشرابك لم يتسنهٌ،وانظرالي حمارك ولنجعلك أيه للناس،وانظرالي العظام كيف‘نشزهاثم نكسوهالحما،فلماٌتبيٌن له قال اعلم انٌ الله علي كل شيئ قدير.
This verse, like many others, holds many interesting points and has been specially revealed to prove that time is not hard to God at all, contrary to what people believe. In this revelation, the phrase “Look at” has been repeated three times to reveal three different purposes.
1-Time is nothing hard for God, because during this period of time nothing had changed such as his provision, his health condition, his cloths, and the situation in which he was there. That is why when he was asked, how long you have been here, he replied, one day or part of a day.
2-When he noticed that his donkey has died and its bones have rotted, but the near by village has been populated, he realized that he has been there for one hundred years, and his reviving would be a sign of resurrection for himself as well as his people.
3- To reverse rotting process by assembling bones and covering them with flesh, God demonstrated him how His Lord was powerful to revive the dead.
Since God created creatures imperfect through His far-reaching wisdom; He made 3 ways to convince them to the truth of everything. Due to it is impossible for anyone to get the truth of all things and reach absolute certainty He will reveal this on the Day of Judgment,
“You already were negligent in knowing the real truth of everything, so We removed your veil, therefore today your sight is sharp to see the truth of everything.” 50: 22
لقدكنت في غفله من هذافكشفناعنك غطائك فبصرك اليوم حديد.
The three ways have been revealed in chapter 2, verses 258- 260, are: convincing them with reasoning, persuading through showing the truth and having them to participate in activities to accumulate personal experience and knowledge.
In verse 258, Abraham (AS), living in a cave, defeated Namrud by his logical discussion. This proves that God would guide him because he was righteous, and leaves alone the wrong doers.
“We already had granted the maturity of the mind to Abraham before his discussion, because We were acquainted with him when he was secluded in a cave,.” 12: 51
ولقدأتيناابراهيم رشده من قبل وكنابه عالمين.
“Thus We demonstrated the kingdom of the heavens and earth to be one the convinced.” 6: 75
وكذلك‘نري ابراهيم ملكوت السموات والارض ليكون من الموقنين.
In verse 259, God made the prophet more convinced with the resurrection through reviving him and his donkey. And in verse 260, through the most effective way of guidance, that is personal experience, God commanded Abraham to kill birds and revive them to make him personally believe that God has power over everything.
Studying about different aspects of date, for instance, would clarify for us various degrees of certainty.
1-Historically we have heard that those living near desert and routinely travel through it eat dates and drink water as regular basis before taking trip. They also use camel as the best vehicle for ride and economy of water in desert. That is why God, the Provider of all causes has planned to grow date palms in tropical regions, where the weather is hot and humid.
2-Scientifically, it is known that sucrose (Table sugar), fructose (Fruits sugar) and dextrose are immediate source of energy for muscles contraction. These kinds of carbohydrates save as much as 1 ½ of their weight water when they store sugar chiefly in the form of glygogen in the liver. That is why an intravenous injection (IV) of one of these sugars to women during their childbearing efforts for helping them to have regular uterine contraction and strong pushing force to deliver their babies during labor is the best solution.
3-Practically and experimentally it has been proved that eating a few dates and drinking water before dawn in fasting month will tremendously help fasting people, during hot and long days of summer, to achieve their fast successfully with no consequence.
Once more we can see how God, the most Compassionate and the Provider of all causes has helped righteous people like Mary, who was in a desolate and anguished position, physically and morally to be able to deliver her first child in solitude with comfort. He suddenly changed a dried date palm trunk into a tree, laden with clusters of fresh and juicy dates ready to eat, as a good source of energy for a woman who was not taking care of herself because of worrying of her situation.
“Becoming pregnant with him, she withdrew with him to a remote area. When labor pain drove her to a dried date palm, she said with anguish, ‘I wish I would die before this happens and would be completely forgotten. Her child (Jesus) called her from beneath, ‘Do not worry, your Lord has made a little creek under your feet. And shake the trunk of date palm, freshly ripe dates will be fell upon you. Then eat and drink and be delighted, and should you see any man, tell him, ‘I have made a vow of fast with the Most Gracious not to talk to anyone today.” 19: 22-26
فحملته فانتبذت به مكاناقصيا.فاجائهاالمخاض الي جذع النخله، قالت ياليتني مت قبل هذاوكنت نسيا منسياٌ.فناىيهامن تحتهاالاتحزنيقد جعل ربك تحتك سريا.وهزيٌ اليك بجذع النخله‘تساقط عليك رطباجنيا. فكلي واشربي وفري عينافاماترينٌ من البشراحدافقولي اني نذرت للرحمن صومافلن‘اكلم اليوم انسيا.
Now it is time to look at Quranic revelations, displaying how creation and command are under God’s control, and how His servants dispatched were supported..
1-“Behold, His is the creation and command. Full of blessing is the Lord of the universe.” 7: 54
الاله الخلق والامر،تبارك الله رب العالمين.
2-“He plans all commands from the heavens to the earth.” 32:5
‘يدبرٌ الامرمن السماء الي الارض.
3-“Truly God’s command is far-reaching, He has already made due measure for all things.” 65: 3
انٌ الله بالغ امره،قدجعل الله لكل شيئ قدرا.
4-“Our word has already got ahead for Our dispatched servants. It means that they are surely assisted, and Our army are always victorious.” 37: 171-173
ولقدسبقت كلمتنالعبادناالمرسلين، انهم لهم المنصورون، وانٌ‘جندنالهم الغالبون.
5-“and God is consistently predominant in His command, but most people do not know.” 12: 21
والله غالب علي امره ولكنٌ اكثرالناس لايعلمون.
6-In fact, all commands belong to God.” 13:31
بل لله الامرجميعا.
7-Actually Our speech, when We will something to be done, is to say to it, ‘Be, and it is.” 16: 40
انماٌقولنالشيئ اذااردناه ان نقول له كن قيكون.
8-Truly His command, when He wills something to be done, is to say to it, ‘Be, and it is.” 36: 82
انماٌ امره اذاارادشيئا ان يقول له كن فيكون.
9-In no way, I can help you against God’s decision, all decisions belong to Him alone.
In Him I put my trust, and in Him the trustful put their trust.” 12: 67
وما‘اغني عنكم من الله من شيئ، ان الحكم الالله، عليه توكلت،وعليه فليتوكل المتوكلون.
“Why do they not reflect on themselves to see that God has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them but for truth and an appointed term?” 30: 7
اولم يتفكروافي انفسهم،ماخلق الله السموات والارض ومابينهماالابالحق واجل مسميٌ؟
“We hold the store of everything but We send it in appropriate measure.” 15: 21
وان من شيى الاعندناخزائنه وماننٌزله الاٌ بقدرمعلوم.
According to the revelations mentioned before, fertility, infertility, longevity and brevity belong to the will of God, the Creature of the universe. Don’t you believe that the creation of Adam and Eve from nothing (Dirt) is notably out of the ordinary? Was the creation of Jesus, without father, previously known? Is it not totally odd for the people living now to hear that Noah lived 650 year before deluge and 300 years after that? At 130 years old, Adam had his son whose name was Seth, and he lived 800 years after him, and he died at 930 years old.
Due to we were not present at that time to feel the proper meaning of longevity in the past, we may reject all those facts stipulated in the Divine revelations. Therefore, we think they were nothing but ancient mythologies. Despite those facts in which we do not believe, could we turn down the real facts we know of our body thanks to anatomy, physiology and histology? These objective sciences have established that different tissues have various longevity and different rate of fertility, while they have identical back ground and live under one condition.
When two haploid cells (Of 23 chromosomes) contributed from parents fused with one another, they make a diploid cell (Of 46 chromosomes) known as fertilized egg. This multiplies into a collection of innumerable cells of absolutely similar make-up which later divide into three separate layers to bring about a variety of organs in our body. Skin cell and nerve cells, coming from ectoderm, for instance, become seriously different for their view points of longevity and fertility. The life time for skin cells is only about 24-36 hours, while that of the nerve cell is equal to whatever a person would live without any reproduction. Therefore the longevity and reproduction rate of skin cells and nerve cells in a person are extremely different form each other. While one is on the extreme shortness, the other is on the extreme length. .
Again if you neither believe this true fact about your body, nor do you agree with the fact of longevity and fertility in the past, could you ever deny the current of high voltage in a wire, when you are told if you touch it you will die immediately? Of course, you not deny it, because you don’t want to endanger your life. How then is it possible to believe something invisible, and deny something else which is hidden too?
The reality is this that we think denying fertility and longevity in the past does not hurt us at all, but denying the current of high voltage and touching it will kill us immediately.
Let us now turn to the situation of highness Khadijeh, her fertility and longevity.
Contrary to custom and secular law, Khadijeh, the richest Arab woman, who was 15 years older than Mohammad, asked him indirectly if he would like to be her husband. Due to his poverty, Mohammad first denied and replied, “How can, a poor man like me, fulfill his marriage duties before a very wealthy woman? When I have no penny with which I can bless myself, how can I meet your expectations? Loving Mohammad’s honesty and knowing his loyalty for years working for Khadijeh, she replied, “Do not worry, I will take care of everything if you want to be my husband. For many years either before or after his prophecy, Mohammad (Peace and greeting is due to him and his family) lived with her alone and she gave to birth 6 children during her life with the prophet. She had her last child about two years after Mi’raj, the midnight journey to the seven heavens. In other words, 9 years before her death, she became pregnant to Fatemah at the age 59. She was his wife 15 years before becoming prophet and she lived with him 13 more years before her death, therefore she lived with the prophet for 15+13=28 years. The same year, that the prophet (Peace and greeting is due to him and his family) lost his beloved wife, he left Mecca and migrated because he had forfeited her protection. Through another calculation, it is proves that highness Khadijeh was 59 years old that became pregnant to Fatemah, because Ali (AS) took Fatemah (AS) as his wife when at the second year of migration, when Fatemah(AS) was11 years old, therefore, highness Khadijet must give birth to Fatemah (AS) at the age 68-9=59.
Highness Khadijeh seriously loved Mohammad before being a prophet. She lovely spent all her wealth to make Islam progress, and did not overlook any thing for the greatness of Islam. Therefore no money was left for her to prepare a shroud for herself, so she asked her daughter Fatemah to tell your father that my mother has no shroud for her death. When the prophet received such a modesty and shyness, he asked her why she did not tell him directly. I did not ask you anything in our conjugal life, because I knew you had nothing ready, so I did not want to hurt your feeling and see blush in your face by asking you directly, she replied. That is why I asked my daughter to tell you what would happen to me after my death. And the prophet told her, ‘Do not worry, I will take care of you and will make my long outer garment for your shroud.
Due to such a pure love, sincerity and devotion to God and Islam, God rewarded her to be one of the foremost four ladies of the world in the Paradise. When the prophet was young and could have as many wives as he pleased, he lived with highness Khadijeh for 28 years. And she was the only wife of the prophet who brought 6 children for him in her marriage with the prophet.
Paying attention to the following revelations prove that highness Khadijeh was deserved to be blessed by God for her unparalleled characters. She was the only wife of the prophet who brought 6 children for him, otherwise his wives after Khadijeh who were politically imposed to him, and plotted with one another against him couldn’t bring any child for him.
1-“Truly the only religion in the sight of God is Islam (Total submission), because it is a perfect religion.” 3: 19
انٌ الدين عند الله الاسلام.
2-“Anyone who chooses a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him and he will be among the losers I the hereafter.” 3: 85
ومن يبتغ غيرالاسلام دينافلن‘يقبل منه وهوفي الأخره من الخاسرين.
3-“Whoever does a good deed will have 10 times as much.” 6: 160
من جاء بالحسنه فله عشرامثالها.
4-“Say, ‘Truly all grace is in the hand of God, He bestows it upon whomever He wills; indeed, while He is rich in everything, He is All-Knowing, and He specifies His mercy on whomever He wills, because He possesses great grace.” 3: 72, 73
قل انٌ الفضل بيدالله‘يؤتيه من يشاء،والله واسع عليم،يختصٌ برحمته من يشاء والله ذوفضل عظيم.
5-“Our vengeance was imposed upon criminals, while our duty was to help the true faithful.” 30” 47
فانتقمنامن الذين اجرموا،وكان حقاعلينانصرالمومنين.
6-“O believers, if you help God, not only He will help you, but He will secure your position.” 47: 7
ياايهاالذين أمنوا،ان ينصركم الله ينصركم و‘يثبتٌ اقدامكم.
7-Hopefully God will forgive the two of you (Hafsah& Aishah) , if you two turn to God in repentance, because your hearts have already deviated, and if you two plot secretly against him, know that God is truly his protector, and Gabriel, and the righteous of believers; besides, angels are his helper too.” 66: 4
ان تتوبافقدضغت قلوبكما،وان تظاهراعليه فانٌ الله هو موليه وجبريل وصالح المومنين والملائكه بعد ذلك ظهير.
In the book of Genesis, chapters 16, 17 and 18 Abram was 86 years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram. Behold, I will bless Ishmael and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly. He shall be the father of 12 princes (Imams) and I will make him a great nation. God said to Abram you are not Abram but Abraham, and I will bless your wife whose name is Sarah not Sar’ai, and she will be a mother of a nation. Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, ‘Shall a child be born to a man who is hundred years old? Shall Sarah who is ninety years old bear a child? The Old-Testament and the Qur'an both indicate that Abraham received two good news from his Lord, once for Ishmael then after an interval of 7-14 years, he received another one for Isaac. But because Torah is confusing in this regard, it is better to see what the Qur'an has revealed.
After that Abraham was saved, by His Lord, of a great fire which they belt up to destroy him, he said, ‘I am going to my Lord and He will soon guide me. O Lord! Grant me from the righteous. Then We gave him a good news of a patient son. When he grew enough to work with Abraham, he said, ‘My son, I saw in a dream that I was sacrificing you. What do you think? Ishmael said, ‘O father! Do as you are commanded. You will find me, God willing, of the patient. When they both submitted to the will of God and he laid his face down, We called him, O Abraham! You have fulfilled your vision. Truly We reward the righteous. In fact, it was a bitter test of submission and obedience. And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice. And We left his sacrifice for subsequent generations. Peace is due to Abraham. Thus We reward the righteous. Truly, he is one of Our believing servants. ِِِAnd We gave him good news about the birth of Isaac to be a prophet of the righteous. And We blessed Abraham and Isaac, and some of their descendents are righteous and some clearly oppress themselves. 37: 98-113
5-“When our messenger came to Abraham with good news, they said, ‘Peace” and he said, “Peace” and soon he came with a roasted calf. Hearing good news, his wife Sarah who was standing by laughed, and We gave her good news about Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob. Sarah said, ‘Alas, how shall I bear a child while I am too old and my husband is too old too; this is really strange? The messengers replied, ‘Are you surprised at God’s command, that is, His mercy and blessing upon you, the people of the house? Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Glorious.” 11: 69-73
ولقدجائت رسلناابراهيم بالبشري قالواسلاما، قال سلام،فمالبث ان جاء بعجل حنيذ. وامرائه قائمه فضحكت فبشرناهاباسحق ومن وراء اسحق يعقوب. قالت ياويلتي ءالدواناعجوزوهذابعلي شيخا،انٌ هذالشيئ عجيب. قالوااتعجبين من امرالله رحمت الله وبركاته عليكم اهل البيت انهٌ حميدمجيد؟
6-Truly, His command, when He wills something to be done, is to say to it, ‘Be’ and it is. So Glory is He in whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you will be returned.” 36: 82, 83
انماٌامره اذاارادشيئاان يقول له كن فيكون. فسبحان الذي بيده ملكوت كل شيئ واليه‘ترجعون.
Those who minimize God’s wide-spread knowledge but maximize their insignificant understanding are absolutely idiot and unjust. While they do not know that they know nothing, they put themselves forward by displaying arrogance, because they believe they are worldly-wise erudite scholar in all branches of science. That is why neither they believe in God, nor do they follow God’s life-saving rules.
Analogically their knowledge is like a candle light compared with sun-light. Even if they make a gigantic projector, it would manifest nothing before sun-light, how is it possible for them to put their knowledge forward against God’s comprehensive knowledge? Men’s eyes are not so sharp like eagle to see all microorganisms. Their ears are not so keen like mice to hear all sounds, and their smells are not so developed like police dog or German shepherd to detect the least odors; thus their intelligence which is the resultant of their faculties wouldn’t be perfect.
God, the Blessing, the Most High (TWT) has made honey bees’ eyes a detector of ultra violet for sucking the nectarine of special flowers, until their honey be a cure for some human diseases. Couldn’t such a powerful God make human perfect, while He has demonstrated His power for making eagle’s eyes, mice’s ears, police dog’s smell sense, and bees’ eyes so special? Yes, He could, but no human being could live to multiply his generation with such prefect senses.
In addition, we are unable to discover many things, while they actually exist. Can we hear radio waves without having a radio set? Can we feel electric current in a wire without possessing a voltmeter? Is there any way to demonstrate our soul other than our vital demonstrations? Do we have any means to make visible our pain to others other than its signs and symptoms? For this and many other reasons, we should not deny the unseen, but agree that we are not perfect with all those qualities that God has allocated for us.
“Those who deny our revelations and display arrogance toward them will be the companions of Fire, wherein they will remain forever.” 7: 36
والذين كذبواباياتناواستكبرواعنهااوليك اصحاب النارهم فيها خالدون.
To compensate our imperfection, the most Compassionate God granted us a special faculty known as internal insight through which we are able to discover many things which detectable to our physical eyes.
Though this meaningful Iranian poem would give some zest ideas in this regard, I am afraid that its translation could not inspire its whole idea, so its original form has been brought for those who can understand it.
O possessors of insight, unveiled sweetheart is manifesting from everywhere. Though it is a sunny day and so clear to see, but because you are in darkness, you look for a candle. If you come out from your own darkness, you will see every where is fully clear of sun rise. Do you seek a cane or leader like the blind for such a clear and even road? Really open your eyes and look at rose garden to see the manifestation of clear water in thistle and flower. Through thousands of colors from just one kind of clear water, you can see the display of the truth in a rose garden. Having a good provision for this journey, you should take care of your demand by love. In such a case you will find the understanding of many things would be easy through love. Truly open your insight for having a full capacity to discern the true nature of everything and to see what was unseen to you before. Facing the kingdom of love, you will see rose garden at every corner. Splitting the inside of every atom, you will find a solar system within it. I bet you that if you spend what you have for love, you ever sustain a grain of loss. Rending your heart with the passion of love, you will see that love is the alchemy of soul. Leaving behind life narrowness, you will find the extent of kingdom illocal. You will hear what is not heard, and you will see what is not seen. Make love heartedly with whom that you can see clearly in absolute certainty that there is only one and nothing but He. He is the one and there is no god but He.

As the last but not the least point, it is quite advisable to resort to this revelation which supports the whole ideas which were discussed in this article.
“Why didn’t they journey through the land and have heart with which they think, or ears with which they hear the truth? Truly their eyes are not blind, but their hearts which are in their chests.” 22: 46
افلم يسيروافي الارض فتكون لهم قلوب يفقهون بهااوأذان يسمعون بهافانهاٌ لاتعمي الابصارولكن تعمي القلوب التي في الصدور.
Peace and greeting is due to those who follow the truths.
