Allusion

Koh-e-Qaf (Mountains of Qaf)

It is believed that fairies reside on the mountains of Qaaf, and this mountain is said to be spread around the four corners of the earth. Therefore, the expression "from Qaaf to Qaaf" is used to refer to the whole world. Koh-e-Qaaf is also famous for being made of emerald gemstones. In Indian literature, there is mention of a mountain called “Sumeru" which is famous for being made of gold.

Sufi Quotes

Faqr camprises three letter; Fay, Qaf and Ray. Fay means destruction of ego, Qaf means severity on ego, and Ray means satisfaction in the will of God. And also by Fay means pride, Qaf means nearness and Ray means mystery. These stations relate to the “poverty of the Prophet (PBUH).”
