Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad. Tuesday, June 9, 2009, marks the 40th and final day of our project entitled "Welcoming NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam (a.s.) to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada". This posting is also the 49th candle posting for 2009 and marks an auspicious day in the life of our beloved 49th Holy Imam.
Today, our beloved Mowla will receive his Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the University of Alberta. Let us offer shukrana, shed tears of love and joy, and demonstrate utmost humility for being blessed with the guidance of a present and living Imam! Al-Hamdulillah!
This post addresses the topics of knowledge and mercy in everything, practical application of the principle of 'Light upon Light' and enlightenment of true mu'mins. Let us study the following:
Part 1: What is the Relationship Between the Universal Intellect, Universal Soul and Universal Body?
In order to under these concepts, let us start with an ayat of the Holy Qur'an and then follow up with an explanation:
The Holy Qur'an says in verse (40:7) "Our Lord! Thou comprehends all things in mercy and knowledge."
|
Part 2: What is the Relationship Between Everything and the Manifest Imam?
In order to answer this question, let us start with an ayat of the Holy Qur'an and then follow up with an explanation:
'The purpose of spiritual death is gnosis (marifat), in which are hidden the secrets of spiritual peace and eternal salvation.
In the verse (36:12), the Lord of the world says "And We have encompassed everything in the (light of) the manifest Imam."
|
Part 3: How do True Mu'mins Get the Light of the Holy Imam?
In order to answer this question, let us start with an ayat of the Holy Qur'an and then follow up with an explanation:
God says: "O, ye who believe! Fear God and believe in His Messenger. He will give you two-fold of His mercy and will appoint a light for you wherewith you will be able to walk, and will forgive you" (57:28)
|
Part 4: How Does the Holy Imam's Light Reach his mu'mins?
In order to answer this question, let us start with the first verse of the ginan, Brahm Prakash, written by Pir Shams (r.a.) and then follow up with an explanation:
Sat shabd hay guru hamaaraa, The True Word (Bol, Ism-i Azam, Supreme Name) is my Guide. Explanation: The Ism-i Azam or bol cannot be written or erased from one's consciousness because is luminous (noorani). It is a pure, eternal word and a passport to the luminosity of the Holy Imam. First the mu'min sees the light of his own soul in his/her forehead. This becomes stronger and stronger as the soul gets illuminated. Then the mu'min gets to see the Holy Imam's light which remains continuously in the front and on the right side of a mu'min soul. Thus, it is the Holy Imam's light which leads the mu'min's soul to salvation! Al-Hamdulillah! |
Here is a Qur'anic reference for the role of the Holy Imam's light and the eternal rewards of following the path of enlightenment (Baitul Khyal):
'On the day when thou (Muhammad) wilt see the believers, men and women, their light shining forth before them and on their right hands, (and wilt hear it said unto them): Glad news for you this day: Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein ye are immortal. That is the supreme triumph.'
