Part 73

Tags: Hazrat `Ali

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

Read the blessed saying of Mawla `Ali (a.s) in the book Kawkab-i Durri, chapter 3, manqabat 29. The hidden wisdom of this blessed farman is that Mawla `Ali (a.s), in his chain of light and luminosity, is himself the beautiful names (asma'u'l-husna) of God, about which God has commanded to invoke Him through them (7:180).³³ The King of Walayat Murtaza `Ali (a.s) has said in manqabat 83 that he was the supreme name (ism-i a`zam) and the eternal light (nur-i aqdam) [of God] in his pure light.³⁴

O `azizan! Read the blessed sayings of Mawla `Ali (a.s) with ardent love, knowledge and wisdom so that you may become cognizant of the gems of Qur'anic knowledge and wisdom, because `Ali (a.s)'s light is the speaking Qur'an (Qur'an-i natiq).
