Commentary 6:75 Abraham lived among the Chaldeans, who had great respect and knowledge of planetary bodies. They worshipped sun, moon and different stars and planets,…
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُرِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ
6:75 Abraham lived among the Chaldeans, who had great respect and knowledge of planetary bodies. They worshipped sun, moon and different stars and planets, Mercury in particular. Abraham’s knowledge went beyond their physical world as Allâh showed him the spiritual glories behind the magnificence of the physical universe. Malakût مَلَكُوتَ means sovereignty, dominion, a great kingdom, or the power to deal with a thing as one likes (Lisân). The word is specifically used for the kingdom or dominion of Allâh (Râghib). Shihâb al-Dîn Suhrawardî, a great Muslim mystic, says in his well-known book ‘Awârif al-Ma‘ârif that when a spiritual wayfarer reaches a stage when he is made to witness the sovereignty of Allâh, he is spiritually reborn, and this rebirth is a prerequisite for being admitted into the presence of Allâh. Doubt in one’s creator cannot enter the mind of such a person who has attained this stage of certainty and conviction because he then lives in the presence of Allâh.
