Help Finding an Ayah

[dianek]

I read this excerpt somewhere and it stated that it's source was the Koran....can anyone tell me where:

"I was as a gem concealed;
Me my burning ray revealed"

I am interested in reading the full context of the statement. Thanks!

Salaams sis

It was not familiar to me at all and I did a quick search of the Qur'an but nothing has come up....I dont think its true/accurate - i.e. its not in the Qur'an...mainly cos I couldnt find it but also because in the Qur'an Allah swt doesnt speak in the first person like that..with " I "....when He refers to Himself its usually 'We'...

Sorry

Wasalaams x

Salaam,

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such verse or words in the Quran. Where or who did you get it from?

It was an intro to a Ralph Waldo Emerson essay titled "Love"..........it cited the Koran, but with no verse or anything........I have googled it and it just keeps repeating the phrase followed by Koran but only in regards to his (Ralph's) writings.

Salaam,

It is said that Emerson is an atheist or perhaps had some Sufi influence because he discounted Biblical miracles and proclaimed that, while he was a great man, Jesus was not God. Perhaps he took a verse from the Quran and worded it to his poetic senses, after all he was a poet.

Interesting insight! Thanks! I didn't know he was an atheist as he often refers to religious icons (Moses, etc.) But you maybe right but would wonder which verses he poeticized.
