Part 21
Tags: Kawkab-i Durri, Hazrat `Ali
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
According to Kawkab-i Durri, Mawla `Ali (a.s.)'s holy light is the Guarded Tablet (lawh-i mahfuz, p. 197); the all-encompassing miracle of muqallibu'l-qulub (the One Who causes hearts to turn, p. 197); the resurrection (p. 200); the "Book in which there is no doubt" (p. 200); the Sacred Sanctuary; the beautiful Names (7:180, p. 200); the light of Mount Sinai, the miracle of Naqur (p. 204), i.e., the Israfili miracle which encompasses the entire universe, the Supreme Name and the honoured rock from which twelve springs, namely twelve hujjats, gushed forth.1
In the cycle of resurrection `Ali (a.s.) himself is `Ali (a.s.).
