Gems of Qur'anic Knowledge and Wisdom - Part 55
Part 55
By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
It is mentioned in surah-yi Maryam: "Surely those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, the Compassionate (Rahman) will create for them love (in the hearts)." (19:96).
According to Kawkab-i Durri, chapter 1, manqabat 26, the above blessed verse is revealed first about Mawla `Ali (a.s),30 and likewise this verse is about the true Imams of their [respective] times. Also when al-Wahid al-Qahhar (the One/Unifier, the subduer) will bestow all believing men and women who recognize God, with vicegerency (khilafat), kingdom (saltanat) and angelic rank (firishtaganah martabah) in the universal paradise, this verse will be about them as well. Thus the people of paradise will have immense love in their hearts for their king as there is no trace of hatred and enmity in paradise, there is but friendship and love.
All the small and big parts of every country of the planet earth with all their inhabitants are present in the universal paradise. Thus it is your sacred duty to read all the Qur'anic verses regarding vicegerency, i.e., kingdom of paradise and the ranks of religion (hudud-i din) with the zeal of faith: Surah-yi al-An`am (6:165), surah-yi Nur (24:55) and surah-yi Zukhruf (43:60).
