Question:
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatulah wa barakatu,
I want to know the meaning of this:
“O assembly of Jinn and men! If you are able to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority.”
What is the meaning of passing beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth ? How would the “passing” affect us ? I hope you can give me a detailed answer about this ayat.
wasalam.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
As Mawlana Shaykh Nazim has said or alluded many times, it is a verse implicitly praising the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace), who was given sultan, i.e. permission and power for Isra’ and Mi`raj, his greatest miracle after the Holy Qur’an, and Allah knows best.
