O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)! Arise and deliver thy warning!
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
surah 74:1 Al Muddaththir (The One Wrapped Up)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’an, Amana Corporation, 1989.)
Al Muddaththir (The One Wrapped Up) Shri Mataji Nirmala
Devi glorifying Allah Almighty and
declaring the
commencement of Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection).
The Quranic verse above orders the Divine Personality (The One Wrapped Up) to arise and deliver the Warning of the Resurrection and glorify God Almighty.
The only clothing that fits the description and verse Al Muddaththir (The One Wrapped Up) is the sari as depicted in photograph of Shri Mataji. For thousands of years the sari has been "the traditional outer garment of a Hindu woman, consisting of a long, unstitched piece of cloth, usually colorful cotton or silk, wrapped around the body, forming an ankle-length skirt, and around the bosom and over the shoulder."
A person wearing a sari is wrapped up in layers of material. There is no Arabic dress that fits this verse.
The Webster New World Dictionary defines sari as "the principal outer garment of a Hindu woman, consisting of a long piece of cloth worn wrapped around the body."
The Encyclopedia Britannica defines it as the "principal outer garment of women of the Indian subcontinent, consisting of a piece of often brightly coloured, frequently embroidered, silk, cotton, or, in recent years, synthetic cloth five to seven yards long. It is worn wrapped around the body with the end left hanging or used over the head as a hood."
The MSN Encarta states that the "classic Indian clothing styles include the sari for women and the dhoti for men. The sari, a long piece of fabric, is made of cotton or silk, often elaborately decorated with dyed, woven, or embroidered patterns. It is wrapped around the body and worn with a short, fitted bodice. There are many styles of wrapping saris, and various styles are associated with different regions of India."
The Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary describes the sari as "a garment of southern Asian women that consists of several yards of lightweight cloth draped so that one end forms a skirt and the other a head or shoulder covering."
And She definitely has risen and delivered His Warning: "This is the Age of the Resurrection and Last Judgment!" Can there be a more foreboding Warning that is directed to all human beings and their religious organizations, exempting none from its consequences?
