A Letter of Knowledge in Modern Style (4)

1. My cazizan in Birmingham (USA): Ya cAli Madad! The prophetic traditions eulogise and praise Mawla cAli in two ways, directly and indirectly. The indirect praise is that the holy Prophet declared Hazrat-i cAli to be equal to Hazrat-i Harun. This means that all the qualities and virtues of Hazrat-i Harun mentioned in the wise Qur'an are also possessed by Hazrat-i cAli, except that there is no prophet after the holy Prophet. Similarly, in the light of the durud taught by the holy Prophet, it is clear that the rank of Prophet Muhammad's progeny is the same as that of Hazrat-i Ibrahim's progeny. It means that all those sayings of the mighty Qur'an that refer to Hazrat-i Ibrahim's progeny are indeed true for Prophet Muhammad's progeny. This is a special way of the wisdom of the Qur'an and the Hadith.
2. The cazizan of our heart and soul and those who appreciate Monoreality are: Aziz Rajpari, Nafisa Rajpari, Ex-President Muhammad Abdul Aziz, Yasmin Muhammad, Nasrullah Khan. These five cazizan are Life Governors. Muhammad and Yasmin have been promoted to Life Governorship for their countless services. In this branch, there are moths of true knowledge like Karima Nathani and Sohail, and angels like Salma Aslam and Amin Fazil, al-hamdu li'llah.
3. The heart wants to see the ta'wili miracles of the Imam in the Qur'an again and again. Whenever such a miracle happens, cazizan immediately come to mind. It seems that we have all become one soul by being crushed in the mortar of wisdom. Apart from the spiritual physician, who else can pulverise our souls? If there is such sweetness in relationships, how much more will there be in unity!
4. The holy Qur'an says that the expanse of paradise is equal to the universe (57:21, 3:133). It means that the subtle body of the universe is paradise as well as Allah's earth (29:56, 39:10), in which there are infinite subtle kingdoms, because the greatest bounty of paradise is its great kingdom (76:20). This same kingdom is also the vicegerency (khilafat, 24:55). It is clear from this explanation that all the secrets of the wise Qur'an are interrelated. The true reason for this is that there is a unity and oneness of all wisdoms in the Sacred Sanctuary (hazirah-yi qudus). Praise be to Allah, the Sustainer of the worlds!
