Abstract: (17 Views)
The narration of the Prophet's (PBUH) ascension in surah An-Najm and the references to terms such as Sidrat al-Muntaha in this surah have provided a mystical interpretation of the Prophet's ascention. The Cidra al-Muntaha means a place at the end of wonder, and describing it as the utmost knowledge of creation and the end of the ascension of the angels leads to the question of what is the mystical interpretation of Cidra al-Muntaha, and whether it has a relation to the state of awe and its degrees in the thought of Ibn- Arabi? The aim of this research is to understand the intention of the verse referring to Cidra al-Muntaha (the ultimate wonder) in the ascension. To this end, assuming a connection between the mentioned phrase and the state of awe in theoretical mysticism, the mystical interpretations of the verses related to the ascension have been examined and Cidra al-Muntaha has been analyzed in relation to the state of awe in the thought of Ibn- Arabi. Just as Ibn Arabi refers to the degrees of intuitive and intellectual awe at the highest level of existence, the interpretations of verses refer to three kinds of wonder: The rational and intuitive awe arises from the numerous manifestations of the covering of the Sidrah in the realm of divinity, which leaves the intellect bewildered due to its inability to grasp the truth and astonishes the heart in the light of the divine lights. The last awe resulting from knowledge of the God presence in the beings. According to some commentators, this latter awe is the ultimate wonder that the Prophet (peace be upon him) experiences in his descent to the Sidrah al-Muntaha.
