92 Water of Faith Dear readers! Maulaw i Abul Bashir quotes Hadrat Mirza Sahib’s revelation: ٍ ُم ْ مِن ْ فَشَل ه َ أَنْت َ مِن ْ مَّائِنَا و This means, ‘You are from our water, while others are from fashal’. ( Arba'in, No. 2, Ru ha n i Khaz a ’in, vol. 17, p. 385) Maulaw i Sahib then gives it the title, ‘I am from God’s seed’. He further states that: 1. In the Arabic lexicon, ماء (water) means seed. The Quran states: َقَلَخ َنِم ِءٓاَمْلا اًرَشَب ۡ الَّذِی َوُہ Allah is the one who has created mankind from water. 2. The Holy Quran also states: ؕ ِ ۡن ِ الصُّلْب ِ و َ التَّرَآئِب ي َّخْرُج ُ مِن ۡۢ بَ ي ٍ َنۡظُر ِ الِْنۡسَان ُ مِم َّ خُلِق َ خُلِق َ مِن ۡ مَّآء ٍ دَافِق ي فَلْ So man should ponder over his creation. He was created from the water that spurts from the back of the male and the breast of the female. 1 There are many verses of the Holy Quran that indicate that ‘water’ means ‘seed’. This is also well explained in the 1. S u rah a t - Ta riq, 86:6–8
