9:128
In verse (9:128), it is said: "Indeed, there has come unto you a messenger from amongst yourselves (min anfusikum), unto whom it is grievous that you are overburdened, full of concern for you; to the believers, compassionate and merciful." Now revealing the wisdom of this noble verse, we may rightly ask how is it possible for the Holy Prophet to come to the souls from the Soul of the world of humanity and to dominate them? The answer is that it is possible in the sense that by "min anfusikum (from amongst yourselves or your souls)", is meant that the Prophet has come from the place where all souls are gathered like an army (Sahih-i Bukhari, Vol. II, Chapter 303). Further, how can the Prophet as "a luminous lamp" (33:46), be confined to the physical world? Thus in order to illumine the hearts he has also entered the souls. For, it is the work of the exalted and august personality which has been sent as the universal mercy by God, to continuously shower the mercies and blessings everywhere, both in the external and the internal worlds. The wisdom of this blessed verse clarifies that, by the recognition of the Holy Prophet, all pressing problems are solved. But, at the same time, the principle that the door to this recognition is the Imam of the time, should be remembered.
