Transliteration:( Wal ardi wa maa tahaahaa )
6. The earth is the reflection of the powers of Allah Almighty, therefore an oath is taken on it, because man, animals, vegetation, etc. are visible manifestations of it, while mines, gemstones and sand fountains of oil etc. emerge from within it. Also, in outer form, all forms of the earth are equal, but its hidden effects are different. In addition, the earth is also the fundamental dwelling place of the Prophets and Saints. On the basis of this, it is superior to the sky. Furthermore, it is providing harvest for thousands of years with out rejecting to produce. It is full of humility and modesty; therefore, gardens and crops, Fire is arrogant; therefore it is deprived of these. Also, from one rainfall it reflects many effects. In some places it forms rivers; at other places it sprouts vegetation, etc. The Sufi sages say that the hearts of the believers are like the earth, which are continuously deriving bounties and blessings from the Holy Prophet ? In them are found all the above-mentioned attributes of the earth.
