Recognition of Imam Part II - The Word Light
The Word Light
Tags: light, forty-nine
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Contemplate upon God's, may He be exalted, great wisdom that the word 'light' is mentioned forty-nine times in the wise Qur'an, while our celebrated and glorious present Imam, Shah Karimu'l-Husayni,`alayhi's-salatu wa'ssalam, is also the forty-ninth Imam in the holy succession of Imamat in the progeny of the holy Prophet and descendants of Mawlana `Ali(`a). Thus, it is not impossible in God's wisdom and power that in this number of the word 'light', the holy Qur'an prophesies that in the blessed age of the forty-ninth attire of the light of Imamat, both the world of religion and the physical world will be illumined by spiritual and physical knowledge and wisdom. In this regard it is evident that, as a special sign, the atomic age has begun in the blessed age of the present Imam and man has hoisted the flag of victory and success on the moon in connection with the subjugation of the universe.
Once we are sure of this prophesy of the verses of light that now, by God's grace and munificence, both physically and spiritually it is the age of light and its sway, let us give some explanation of the above-mentioned forty-nine verses in which the light of Imamat is prominently mentioned, in accordance with the wisdom-filled teachings of Hazrat Pir Sayyid Nasir-i Khusraw, may God sanctify his secret.
