On 86:5–7
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ﴿٥﴾خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ﴿٦﴾ يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
86:5-7 “Jetting fluid” مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ does not refer to ejected semen. As the verse specifies, it is the fluid that originates from a region, which lies between the breastbone (al-Tarâibالتَّرَائِبِ) and the backbone (al-Sulb الصُّلْبِ). Anatomically this is the region of the human heart; and the heart has much broader significance in the language of Gnostics. With this significance, we can reflect on the true message of these verses.
