in the skies the angels were desirous [of me]. The all-compelling God commanded; I was There then. Before I was in this form, when my name was not Yunus, I was He, He was I, I was with the one who offered this love. [7] Yunus is hinting at a common Sufi theme of the existence of the Saints during the primordial time. Yunus is a perfect-man himself who was with the Creator before the Creation. He shared the divine knowledge with God. This idea is revealed more clearly in the following verses: Before the created universe came here, Before the skies were filled with angels, Before this realm had a foundation, I was with the creator of the Domain.
