Gems of Qur'anic Knowledge and Wisdom - Part 21

Part 21

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

There are numerous ta'wils of every luminous dream and every miracle. There are several pleasing ta'wils in seeing late nambardar Rahmat ibn-i Muhammad Zamir in a dream with two luminous children in Hyderabad. The first and the foremost is that this dream is a luminous reward. I have heard this saying from a wise person: God wreaks havoc for our goodness. "And they devised, and Allah devised, and Allah is the best of devisers." (3:54).

A question [for the sake] of recognition: Is "al-Hayy" a name or the named-one? Is it a personality? Or attributes?
Answer: It is a name as well as the named one. It is a personality as well as the attributes because it is the endless eternal light.

     Sifat-u dhat-i u har du qadim ast 
     Shudan waqif daru sayr-i `azim ast

"His essence and attributes are both eternal; Being aware [of this fact] is a great journey in Him". (Rawshna'i-namah by Hakim Pir Nasir Khusraw (May God sanctify his secret)).
