From Inferno to Garden: A Cosmic Transformation
Manage episode 487463588 series 3670082
This excerpt proposes that the Arabic word "Jahannam" (جهنّم), often understood as hell, carries a deeper cosmic meaning as a "direction of growth" or a necessary stage of transformation. The author suggests that seeds, ideas, projects, and relationships must face tests and challenges, symbolized by Jahannam, to mature and flourish. This challenging period is viewed as a necessary step in the cosmic cycle leading to "Jannah" (الجنة), seen as the outcome of growth rather than merely a physical location. The text further suggests that the Arabic language, through its intrinsic structure and symbolism, uniquely reveals these universal truths, even finding a parallel in the English word "HELL" when analyzed through an Arabic lens, which hints at the concept of a crescent moon (هلال), symbolizing the birth of light from darkness and a cyclical process.
