A Clear Example of Hudud-i Dim It is said in verse (12:105): "And how many a sign there is in the heavens and the earth that they pass by, yet they turn away (their faces) from them!" This means that the testimonies of the realities and recognitions which are mentioned in the Qur'an are found in the book of the universe. Thus the most obvious and outstanding example of hudud-i din in the physical world is the sun, the moon and the stars. And in the Noble Qur'an there are Hazrat Musa, Hazrat Harun and twelve Naqibs (chieftains) (5:12), etc. That is, every Natiq in his own time is like the sun of the world of religion, the Asas is like the moon and the hudud under them are like the stars. After the Natiq, the Asas is the sun and the Imam is like the moon and after the Asas, the Imam of the time is like the sun and the Bab is like the moon. This unchangeable law (sunnat), which God has taught His Messengers (17:77) has continued (until today). God willing, we shall now describe hudud-i din in their respective order and explain their relationship with the personal world and what wonders and marvels of their knowledge and recognition continue to appear in the personal world.

How can the subtle creature, which people have called flying saucer, in reality, be a saucer? Have you ever seen a lifeless and feeling-less object such as a saucer flying? I am not sure whether you or anybody else has ever seen such an object. Thus we have to believe that it is a subtle creature which has appeared in the present age, although it has been there from the time of Hazrat Adam. This is definitely the subtle body which has many names, some of which have been mentioned above.

See verse (12:105): "And how many a sign is in the heavens and the earth they pass by, yet they turn away (their faces) from them!" That is, the Holy Qur'an asks: Why do they not study the power and wisdom of God in the things of the heaven and the earth? There are numerous such verses in the Wise Qur'an which invite people to reflect upon the signs of God.

A412

  • God willing! If He helps.
  • There are countless signs (ayat) of the book of the universe, each one of which glorifies and sanctifies God and reflects His power. Every sign (thing) is a wonder of its own kind.
  • Is there anything in this universe that is not amazing, wonderful and astonishing in front of the inner eye?
  • Let us take one of these things as an example - the moth, which is created from the silkworm.
  • How amazing and worth pondering upon is the fact that the moth is created from the silkworm and the moth again produces the silkworm. Is there not a great secret of nature hidden in this?
  • Certainly, there is the secret of the supreme circle hidden in it, which is ordained for human beings.
