Tâ Hâ
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[20:118]
Behold, it is provided for thee that thou shalt not hunger here or feel naked,


* v.118 : Lit., “be naked”: but in view of the statement in verse 121 (as well as in 7:22) to the effect that only after their fall from grace did Adam and Eve become “conscious of their nakedness,” it is but logical to assume that the words “that thou shalt not...be naked” have a spiritual significance, implying that man, in his original state of innocence, would not feel naked despite all absence of clothing. (For the deeper implications of this allegory, see note 14 on 7:20.)
