The Secrets of Islamic Mysticism

The eminent Islamic scientists claim that the Qur'an has always existed (in the Heaven) in the form which is called  the "Book of Mother", that is essentially a part of a God, it's Creator. It's exempler  on paper is made in the heaven, wrapped in silk and decorated with gold and precious stones from paradise. It was entrusted with guarding the angel Jibril who revealed him to God's messenger Muhammad, piece by piece, but allowed him to see the whole Book once a year.

The Arabs, like all other Muslims around the world, consider the Qur'an as the source of all knowledge and wisdom, strongly believing that it's Arab holy  language is the purest and most beautiful of all existing languages, and that the exposure inside it is incomparable.

British egyptologist E.A.Wallis Budge (1857-1934) in his book „Amulets and superstitions“  claims that, despite the attention the Arabs have dedicated to the maintenance of the Qur'anic text, there are some minor variations, which by his opinion, were due to the divine revelation God's messenger on seven different Arabic dialects. However, this detail is not irrevelant, but reveals a deeper connections between the mystical and sacred meaning of the number seven among the Arab people.

Arabs as excellent mathematicians have always paid great attention to the numbers, especially to their mystical role in the religious-mythical aspect and to the spirituality on it's own. They give the greatest power  to the number seven and consider it the number of happiness, and also, the fate of all that exists.

For the sake of interest, it should be said that numbers 3, 7 and 40 traditionally associate with sophism.  In the other words we can say that in the folklore tradition of many nations, there are three, seven or forty holy man – known in Bosnia and Herzegovina as "Good Ones" (Dobri).

In the Heavenly Book, as the Arabs calls  the holy Qur'an, there are 114 surah (prayers) which is identical to the Indian belief that there are 114 chakras in a human being. This relation is not at all accidental. It reflects the deep spiritual background of what Quran preaches and it's features to act on the human mind and body. Therefore, this sacred book is ideal for practicing various spiritual exercises; later it will be said more about it.
