Alam al Jabarut

Alam al-Jabarut (Arabic: عالم الجبروت‎, meaning the world of power[1]) is the highest realm in Islamic cosmology. The realm Al-Malakut is below Alam al Jabarut, but still higher than Alam al Mulk. The higher realms influence the realms below and are not separated worlds.[2] Although some scholars were not able to see any difference between Alam al Jabarut and Al-Malakut,[3] others thought this to be the realm of angels and spirits and the other a realm below. Thus this realm is also considered to be the created aspect of Rasul and the created reality of Adam, here representing the perfect human (Al-Insān al-Kāmil).

Angelic realm

While angels also dwell in Al-Malakut to encounter humans and perform tasks on earth, the most elected angels inhabit Al-Jabarut.[4] Therefore, this is the domain of angelic manifestations and therefore the realm of archetypes, thrones and powers and also the paradise of the afterlife, with the exception of the supreme paradise.[5] This realm is thus eternal existence, while the others are created and limited.[6]

gollark: Oh, right, OC.
gollark: Functions seem to effectively consist of their code/source (you can get this, sort of, via `string.dump` and maybe `debug`), upvalues (`debug.getupvalue`), environment (`getfenv`?), and random metadata (name, file it's from, whatever else - `debug` can get this, don't know about setting it), so you can kind of swap them with lots of work.
gollark: Functions can probably be swapped, *extremely* hackily via insane debug abuse.
gollark: You need to click the wider bit on each colored line right of the item in the rack to connect them to that line.
gollark: Ah yes, there is the problem.
