Unity Blooms: A Religious Narrative of Ascension and Divine Union Symbolized with Rose
The narratives that describe Prophet Muhammad’s fragrant aura of roses highlight a deeper symbolism. It’s not merely about a pleasant scent but a sacred message behind his ascension-a symbolic resonance with the celestial journey where he “rose” through the heavens. The association with roses mirrors the unfolding stages of his spiritual ascent, akin to the blooming petals of a rose as a flower vibrates in higher frequencies than any other flower.
During the Miraj, Prophet Muhammad transcended earthly boundaries, ascending through celestial spheres and culminating in a divine encounter. The fragrance of roses surrounding him in narratives symbolizes the heightened/altered state of consciousness attained during this celestial voyage. It’s an olfactory metaphor for the ascent, where the Prophet, like a rose in bloom, unfolded divine qualities at each stage of his spiritual journey to anchor God’s love, unity consciousness to Earth.
Prophet Muhammad’s fragrant aura of roses, as narrated in the traditions, thus encapsulates not only the ascent to spiritual heights but also the divine alchemy of uniting masculine and feminine aspects within his being. The symbolism of the rose, with its graceful balance of petals, reflects the integration of wisdom and compassion, strength and gentleness-a holistic union mirrored in the divine qualities manifested through his being and existence.
