3:39
Yahya(Hazrat Yahya)
Literally it means "may he live!". God had bestowed upon Hazrat Yahya the rank of Prophethood and Imamat. The physical birth of the Prophets is a symbol of their spiritual and intellectual birth. Thus, the glad news of his physical birth was, in reality, the glad tidings of his intellectual birth. Thus, the ta'wil of Yahya is the one who, by virtue of being born at the rank of intellect, became eternally alive. His confirmation of the word of God (3:39) has three meanings: (i) The word of God in his time was Hazrat 'Isa. (ii) It is the ism-i azam in every age. (iii) It is the word "Be". Thus the attainment of the practical recognition of these three things in the personal world is the confirmation of the word of God.
