9:18

---

In verse (9:18), God says: "Only those who believe in God and the Last Day, and establish prayer (salat) and give zakat, and fear no one but God, are able to make the Masajid of God prosperous, so these are they who are among the rightly guided ones." Here by "the Masajid of God" are meant the Jama^cat-khanahs or the Masajid of the entire world. How is it possible for a single person to participate in the prosperity of all of them? It is obvious that it is impossible physically and hence it necessitates a ta’wilic wisdom, which is that the Masajid, namely the Jama^cat-khanahs of God are in three levels, as has already been mentioned in paragraph No. 9, and these are the universal Jama^cat-khanah (i.e. the Imam of the time), the local Jama^cat-khanah and the personal Jama^cat-khanah or the Jama^cat-khanah of the heart. And all these three Jama^cat-khanahs can be made prosperous by the attendance of he who believes in God and the Last Day and establishes salat, i.e. he accomplishes the work of da^cwat, and gives the physical and spiritual zakat. When the faithful servant goes to his local Jama^cat-khanah with devotion and love and worships God in it, then by this wisdom-filled act is made prosperous not only the local Jama^cat-khanah, but also the personal Jama^cat-khanah and the universal Jama^cat-khanah. They are united and interrelated, because the mu’min is attached to the Jama^cat-khanah and the Imam of the time is the spirit of the Jama^cat-khanah, and it is also a fact that in the case of the mu’min who firmly believes in Jama^cat-khanah, a special particle of the particles of his soul always serves the blessed and holy personality of the true Imam. You should research the reality of the soul and study the articles related to the particles of the soul, so that you understand how soul is simple (basit) and is everywhere.
