Forty Keys of Luminous Ta'wil - Part 2
Part 2
Tags: Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum, Ya Dha'l-Jalali wa'l-Ikram, Laden ark
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum, Ya Dha'l-Jalali wa'l-Ikram (O Everliving, O Everlasting, O Majestic and Generous)! It is necessary to have Qur'anic wisdom and the experience of resurrection in order to do the exegesis of these four great Names, because the luminosity of the Qur'an and the resurrection is hidden in them, as it is testified by the ayatu'l-kursi and verses (55:26-27) of the suratu'r-Rahman. Very great, wonderful and amazing wisdom-filled allusions are hidden in this testimony. That is, the manifestation of the Throne on water and the miracle of the manifestation of the Ark and the embarking of all the people of the world in the laden ark (36:41). This laden ark is everything: the heaven, the Throne, paradise of the Sacred Sanctuary and the ark in which everything other than the countenance of the majestic and generous Lord, namely the holy countenance of Hazrat-i qa'im (a.s.), is perishable (55:26-27). That is, one can escape this destruction only by being merged in the countenance of the qa'im (a.s.).
