Hamd (Praise), Maqam-I Mahmud (Praised Station):
Hamd and Maqam-I Mahmud are amongthe names of Intellect. The Ummul- Katib begins with this wisdom-filled name of the Universal Intellect, who is the means of the praise of God, the Exalted, as God says: Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil- alamin i.eGod has supreme praise because He brings up the personal worlds with wisdom-filled nourishment and love of the Universal Intellect so that they, by passing through the stages of annihilation (fana) in the Imam, annihilation in the Prophet and annihilation in God, are able to observe the intellectual miracles of the Maqam-I Mahmud or Praised Station. All this happens in the personal world, which has been praised by God Himself (17:79).

Pure Intellect 11

Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny):

Root: ha, mim, dal. Muhammad means highly praised, extolled and commended. In the holy Qur’an, it is mentioned four times and Ahmad once. Although the entire Qur’an is full of the praise of the Prophet, as it is said: “Qur’an tamam wasf-i kamal-i Muhammad ast”, namely, the entire Qur’an is the praise of the perfection of Muhammad, but here we are mainly concerned with the meaning of the name “Muhammad”. In this respect, it is appropriate to say that this word is directly linked to maqam-i mahmud (i.e. praised place), as God says: “Maybe your Lord will raise you to a praised place (maqaman-i mahmuda)”, (17:79). That is, your resurrection (inbi^cath) will be at “maqam-i mahmud or the Praised Place”, which is the Divine Word (kalimah-i bari) and the fountainhead of Intellect, and is praised, extolled and commended.

According to hisab-i jumal (use of the letters of the alphabet according to their numerical value) the numerical ta’wil of Muhammad is ^cAli, as follows:

Muhammad = mim (40) + ha’ (8) + mim (40) + dal (4) = 92 = 2+9 = 11= 1+1 = 2

^cAli = ^cayn (70) + lam (30) + ya’ (10) = 110 = 0+1+1 = 2

You can see that the minor jumal of Muhammad is two, by which is meant ^cAli for ^cAli’s minor jumal is also two. This means that Muhammad and ^cAli, peace be upon them both and their progeny, are one light, for light is always one; the same one light is ever-reaching, ever-pervading and self-sufficient and the concept of two lights negates the perfection of light.
