Beautifully stated. I especially liked the spiral reference. Not a once and forever goal, but an eternally revolving and progressing work. There is no limit to a work that is refining the universe.
Your insight into alchemical transformation through the Qur’an is striking. As a Muslim who belongs to a tradition that embraces esoteric teachings, I deeply resonate with how you highlight the spiritual dimensions of transformation. Your words beautifully express a process I’ve felt but rarely seen articulated. Thank you for sharing this—I’d love to read more.
thank you so much! really resonated with this as I am currently reading Quran translation as well. Would love to read a follow up / deep dive article about alchemy in Quran/ arab/ Islamic history please. Loved your beautiful writing x
I am just reflecting on the fine line between seeking to reach rubedo in the spiritual sense while seeking justice in the worldly sense.
Like when you were talking about not being able to humanize those who have dehumanized themselves. I see myself always coming back to this question, no matter which side I approach my spiritual path from :)
reading it alchemically, i would take the quran as a whole, as one book. but if this were a politico-historic discussion of quran then yes, we could definitely notice a lot of differences between the meccan and medinan surahs 👌🏽
Wow what a fascinating read. I was raised Muslim but I never saw the cyclical nature of the Quran. With this alchemical map, I love seeing the four steps in alignment with the four stages of the feminine cycle, a process I am deeply familiar with but you have beautifully dissected through this post. Thank you ❤️🔥

Do you think this might be more related to the sections written before mecca?
