Stvaralačka imaginacija – nebeska zemlja simbola
Heavenly Land of Symbols

Summary/Abstract: The creative imagination is the one which shows to each sober Muslim soul, a believing and thinking soul, things as they are, and reveals to it the core faces of entities of higher worlds, whereas it always shows mere forms, masks and “apparent faces” of things and phenomena of lower worlds to the soul who is not a believing and thinking soul. The creative imagination maintains such relations with each and every soul in the act of believing,the act of knowing and the act of hermeneutic reading (ta’wīl/ta‘bīr) of “God’s speech”, as well as “The Book of the Existing” (Kitāb al-mawjūdāt) and “The Book of Letters” (Kitāb al--hurufāt), since, in Islam, the act of believing, knowing and reading is completely equal to the act of being or existing.To forget the language of the creative imagination (lugha al-khayāl) means to deprive of the true “face/Face”everything that God, in His own creative endeavor, has touched with“His Two Hands” (Sād, 75) and sealed (tab‘ – hence tabī‘a, the primordial nature) with a seal of the founding determination of proper Names.
