Qur'an 2:248 introduces sakīnah as among the contents of the Ark of the Children of Israel. Exegetical traditions across Sunni and Shi'i sources exhibit significant contradictions in describing its nature—ranging : "a fragrant breeze with a human face", "Spirit of God" , "a winged cat" and "a golden basin" Adopting a descriptive-analytical method, this study addresses the true essence of sakīnah and explains the discrepancies among traditions. The hypothesis posits that these contradictions originate from two distinct theological traditions: a transcendental-celestial tradition, aligned with the Qur'anic principle of tanzīh (divine immateriality), presenting sakīnah as an abstract reality descending from the realm of the Divine Command; and a corporealist tradition, reflecting Jewish theology and influenced by Isrāʾīliyyāt, depicting sakīnah in material and animalistic forms. Systematic collection from authoritative sources demonstrates that the motif of "a fragrant breeze with a human face" is fully consistent with tanzīh. Drawing upon this motif and the framework of the "World of Images" (ʿālam al-mithāl) from Transcendent Theosophy, the study proposes the "Theory of Malakutian Representation": sakīnah is an existential, immaterial, celestial reality descending from the Divine Command, represented in the ʿālam al-mithāl as a subtle breeze with a human visage. Material descriptions are identified as historical evidence of Isrāʾīliyyāt infiltration. This theory resolves apparent contradictions while elucidating the ontological law of victory.
