Reflections on Water
The element of water in qur'anischen symbolic language - By Prof. Enes Karic, Sarajevo




It is in the Qur'an said that the rain does not fall - Allah sends the rain from the heavens down.

From the earliest days of Islam sprang to the following scholars fact envisaged: the Herabsteigen the rain from the sky in the Qur'an with the same language named, was used to the way in which the Qur'an itself has been disclosed to demonstrate.
The Herabsenden the rain is identical to revelation or "the Herabsenden in qur'anischen words, Suren and stories. It is mentioned in the Qur'an that Allah rain. In fact, we encounter a miracle of the revelation of the event itself.

"We created the water every living creature," as stated in the book. And the man himself was created as drops in a secure container ", the Qur'an. There are many passages in the Islamic spiritual literature, which is about the human embryo as a small lump speak of its origin in the water. The scholars of Islam have therefore noted that the Qur'an from the water as a sign of the miracle of creation, or even spoken added.

Water is in the Qur'an in almost any form mentioned. Water is rain, rivers, in the sea water as Tau, juice and water as ice, water stands for freshness and steam. At the sight of the source water is many times in the Qur'an to be followed, with special emphasis on water source, which consists of a rock hervorbricht.

The seas, with its enormous expansion, and the motif of 'Seven Seas', with the ink, and to avoid the thought: would require all ocean ink, and if all the trees nibs to the word of Allah down, then " would be the lake dried, before the words of my men are exhausted. "For this reason, Ibn 'Arabi, a Sufi Muslim from the seventh century, the Qur'an a boundless sea.

The marine waters of the Islamic comments are lower than the designated waters, with enormous expansion, full of dark shadows and opaque layers. But with its blue colour and its waves, the seas and the yearning call for Infinity, after Del crops, travel and the way forward.
There is no beredteres silence as the silence in the miracle of blue sky over a blue ocean. One Arab poet besang the calm seas as a 'fortress of silence'.

In the Qur'an will focus on the high seas people, who for the cycle of fate, the creation, and especially the people who move. How large, strong and vigorous our vehicle may be, the waves of the oceans are powerful, and on rough seas Allah inbrüstig matter to a safe arrival in port.

In the Qur'an is spoken of rivers, which flow without discount. In Paradise itself is seen by Flüsssen spoken by the gardens round. The Sufis see the uninterrupted flow of streams (Hadzem Haidareciv would say 'the movement of the banks') a large sign: how everything returns to Allah, so water does not disappear, nor it simply flows away.

The way the flow is not directed at the mouth but to the source. Rivers are also moving elements of the country and the waves are moving elements of the oceans.

In the infinity of Allbarmherzigen, which includes all of us, life only lasts as long as the amplitude of two waves that come to the cliffs. This is why the poet so clearly by the splendour of the waves through the rocks zusammenschlagen.
Dschalaluddin Rumi quoted the following statement about the movement of water and the waves: Oh you, you in the vessel of the body schliefst, you have already seen the water, erblicke now the water from the water.
As there is a liquid water, which pushes it forward, there is a spiritual mind, it forwards calls.

The sufische literature is full of motifs of water and purity. In the Islamic 'Aqida it is the water, not wine, the fountain flows of the ritual. Nature is transformed into culture through the mediation of the water and the coexistence of people with the water returns to the cultural nature.




At this point we come to the Qur'an in the major link between water and the grace of Allah. If we clean, it is as if our face is not wetted by water, but with the countless waves of divine grace to us forever to help.
In the Qur'an, the nature of the characters clouds at least two meanings: their dragging by the vault of heaven is a sign of the volatility and time limits of life on the world, and as a result, clouds are not merely marks the transformation of water into steam But they themselves are the "upper waters" in a visible form. In the form of clouds the water shows the human longing for spiritual conditions and ascents.

Seeing powerful clouds and the sky is a limit to the escalating desires, said Imam Ghazali, and the viewing of something green ennobles the view. In the big efforts the words in the Qur'an, the people in the invisible winds to remember that the visible clouds in the four corners of the drive, the dead and abandoned places.

And then allows the water, colourless, geschmackslos and without smell, a flowering of the desert regions in the colorful colors with fragrant flowers and plants.
In general, the classical treatises on the colors, especially on the colors of the flowers, mentioned that the water quality has begun to veil to withdraw. Although even without colour, allows color erst
It has no taste, but what makes this possible. Without even to smell, it brings odors. The Islamic thinking of Sufism sees in general, as in the old church fathers of Christianity even before that the material things with their diversity Signs of Allah.

Spring water is above the Rohen and the Verfeinerten. It is not dependent on age, will not wait for a maturation period. Water can be considered as the most astonishing signs of divinity to be, colourless, tasteless, shapeless, odourless .... transcendental. Water is therefore also in the context of Muslim architecture as a symbol of the unity of Allah, the Tauhids used.

It is important to stress, according to the sufischen comments and observations that the water Allah for the sake fact praises the people he does not make statues and idols. Water can not be formed for this purpose. Water bends before Allah in the eternal and unremitting prayer by the bubble of its streams, which falls its waterfalls, the bubbling of sources and the noise from streams. And this is why in the Qur'an said that people, and wood, and even stones, burn. But water can not burn, it brings fire to lapse.
The Qur'an reminds us that Allah's throne on the waters.
