Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 27

Part 27

By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.

It is mentioned in verses (44:1-4): "Ha Mim. By the manifest Book! Verily We revealed it in a blessed night. Verily We are ever warning – therein every affair of wisdom is made distinct."

Luminous ta'wil: By al-Hayyu'l-Qayyum (ism-i a`zam) and the manifest Book (kitab-i mubin) = the Qur'an = the Imam = the Sacred Sanctuary! We have revealed the light of the qa'im (a.s.) in a blessed night = night of power = hujjat-i a`zam.

The collective luminous ta'wil of the verses (44:1-4) in the five verses of the surah of Estimation (Qadr, 97:1-5) and also wherever the disjointed letters (muqatta`at) of Ha Mim are mentioned [in the holy Qur'an] is that in order to describe [the importance and grandeur] of this ta'wil God swears by al-Hayyu'l-Qayyum [the Everliving and Everlasting].
