The Human Being is an astrolabe of God, but it takes an astronomer to know how to use the astrolabe… In the hands of an astronomer the astrolabe is of good use, for “he who knows himself knows his Lord.”** Just as this metal astrolabe is a mirror of the heavens, the human being – “and We have honoured the children of Adam” [??] – is the astrolabe of God.<\/p>\n

That beauty is never absent from his “mirror”. **this is a saying by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), that is a favourite among the mystics.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source:\u00a0\u00a0Fihi ma Fihi – Discourse 2 The Human Being is an astrolabe of God, but it takes an astronomer to know how to use the astrolabe… In the hands of an astronomer the astrolabe is of good use, for “he who knows himself knows his Lord.”** Just as this metal astrolabe is a mirror of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[216],"tags":[321,16,412,264,287,390,350,277,278,378,267,69],"class_list":["post-209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sacred-wisdom","tag-god-consciousness","tag-islam","tag-islamic-mysticism","tag-islamic-spirituality","tag-islamic-wisdom","tag-jalaluddin-rumi","tag-know-yourself-know-your-lord","tag-prophet-muhammad","tag-sacred-wisdom","tag-self-purification","tag-self-realization","tag-sufism"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=209"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":839,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209\/revisions\/839"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dopaland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
