Hi everyone! After times of studies, I am back to Facebook to continue learning about the various Muslim people, their ideologies and thoughts. Recently, I was reading some extracts of The Meccan Revelations, Volume 1, of the famous Ibn al Arabi, and I would like to share some with you: At the End of Time 3. As for the knowledge of how to translate from God, that belongs to every person to whom God speaks through inspiration (wahy) or the delivery [of a particular divine address, ilqâ], since [in such cases] the translator is the one who creates the forms of the spoken or written letters he brings into existence, while the /spirit/ of those forms is Gods Speech and nothing else. (40) But if someone translates [into words] from [their own, non-inspired] knowledge, then they are inevitably not a translator [in this inspired sense]... (quoted from the English translation of The Meccan Revelations by William C. Chittick & James W. Morris)
