Tayy al-Arḍ ((アラビア語:طيّ الأرض) "folding up of the earth") is the name for thaumaturgical teleportation in the mystical form of Islamic religious and philosophical tradition. The concept has been expressed as "traversing the earth without moving"; some have termed it "moving by the earth being displaced under one's feet". It is a concept widely familiar to the Sunnis, Shī‘īs and Sufis, each group having a different interpretation on it. ==Definitions and discussion== The dictionary of Dehkhoda defines Tay al-Ard as: :"نوعی کرامت که بجای گام برداشتن و رفتن, زمین در زیر پای آدمی بتندی پیچیده شود و او به مقصد خویش هر چند دور باشد در مدتی بسیار کم رسد" :"A type of keramat in which instead of moving toward a destination by taking a step forward, the earth turns toward the traverser rapidly, no matter how far the destination be." Ibn al-Nadim defines it exactly the same way when he says: :"و یذکر ان الارض تطوی له (میمون القداح) فیمضی الی این احب فی اقرب مده" The concept of tei al-ardh has its roots in the following verses of the Chapter al-Naml of the Quran: The phrase "twinkling of an eye" is translated to mean in a very, very short time, i.e. almost instantaneously. Some claim that according to these verses, it is the non-prophet Asif ibn al-Birkhia who transports the throne of Queen Sheba almost instantaneously. According to them, a hadith by Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq also confirms that Solomon transports the throne by Tay al-Ard in specific.〔Molavi-nia, M. Javad. ''Tarikh-i Anbiya'' (تاریخ انبیا). ISBN 964-7447-30-2, 2002. p.268〕 A precise definition of Tai al-Ardh has been offered by ''Allama Qadhi'', one of the masters of Allameh Tabatabaei: :اعدام جسم و بدن در مكان اوّل، و احضار و ايجادش در مكان مقصود :"the ceasing and termination of matter in the initial location, and its appearance and re-creation in its final location (destination)"〔(کتاب مهرتابان / قسمت پانزدهم / طی الارض، شیعه، علم پیغمبر، اولوا العزم، نسخ، اختلاف قرائات )〕 Other explanations offered are also mystical in nature. A hadith by Imam Muhammad al-Baqir e.g. is narrated in which he attributes the aforementioned esoteric knowledge of Asif ibn Barakhia to the ''Asma 'ullah'' or the "names of God", another widely discussed topic in Islamic philosophy and mysticism and even kabbalah: :"اسم اعظم خداوند، هفتاد و سه حرف است. آصف بن برخیا فقط یکی از آن حروف را میدانست که توانست زمین را درهم نوردد و قبل از یک چشم بر هم زدن، تخت بلیقس را از سرزمین سبا نزد سلیمان حاضر سازد؛ و ما ائمّه معصومین هفتاد و دو حرف از آن را میدانیم. یک حرف را هم خداوند به خودش اختصاص داده و تنها نزد اوست" :"The Almighty's greatest name has 73 letters (or parts). Asif ibn Barakhia knew only one letter of it, which enabled him to traverse the earth in the blink of an eye. We Shia Imams however possess 72 of them. And the last letter is concealed from all creation and remains a secret to only the Almighty Himself."〔(: اسم اعظم )〕 Being an allegedly esoteric knowledge by nature, it is not known exactly how it takes place, but theories and explanations abound. The most prevalent theory has to do with the concept of consciousness and will (اراده). The person wills to be some place, and he is then simply there an instant later. This view can perhaps be understood from the perspective of Western philosophical idealism, where ''esse est percipi'': if space does not have an objective reality, and reality itself is thought of as (observer )-based and a subjective entity,〔(THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2005 )〕 then ideas such as moving in space without actually physically moving are no longer uncharted possibilities. In addition, the jinn are believed to possess this knowledge of transportation, however in a limited amount, as is evident again from the aforementioned Quranic verses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tay al-Arz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
