Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 26
Part 26
Tags: Intellectual child, Farzand-i `aqli
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
The same secret of recognition that those who are given the luminous ta'wil of the heavenly Book recognise Hazrat-i qa'im (a.s.) like their children is mentioned in verses (2:146; 6:20). They are the Prophets, the Imams and the `arifs. "He who recognises himself, recognises his Lord", such a person can be an `arif only.
When the recognition of the qa'im (a.s.)'s light becomes perfect, sometimes he says: "I am your father", then if he wishes sometimes he says: "I am your intellectual son (farzand-i `aqli)". It is possible for such fortunate mu'mins to give birth to an intellectual child when they are successful in the `ibadat of ism-i a`zam. In paradise, mu'mins will desire to have an intellectual child!
