Particles of Soul and The Spiritual Ship of Salvation (Key Quranic Wisdoms)
A short article in our Key Quranic Wisdoms series which reveals esoteric points of wisdom concerning the true recognition of the Imam’s deeper reality.
A key wisdom about how particles of souls are attached to the ḥudūd-i dīn [“hierarchs of religion” (who serve the Imam)] is in verse 36:41, which says:
“And a sign (ayāt) for them is that We carried their dhurriyat (i.e. their soul's particles), in the laden ship, and We have created for them the like of it (mithlihi) whereupon they ride” (Qur’ān 36:41-42).
This verse shows that the particles [dhurriyat] of all souls were borne in the Ark [i.e., the laden ship] of Ḥazrat Nūh [Noah]⁽ᶜ⁾. This Ark is always made of spirituality and is always created from the spirituality of the true Imām and his ḥudūd [hierarchs], to which people are attached either consciously or unconsciously.
