25:74
Imam (6) (Guide)
A special prayer of the Imams is mentioned in verse (25:74) which is: "And those who say: O our Lord! Grant us of our wives and our offspring that which refreshes our eyes and make us Imam of the righteous ones." The wisdom of this verse is that those who pray in this way are the Imams, because it is they who pray to become Imams in the chain of their holy offspring (dhurriyyat).
This book is called “Qurratu’l-`Ayn (Coolness of the Eye)”, in which is hidden a great Qur’anic secret. The secret in which lies the key to bliss, is in this sacred verse: “ And those who pray: Our Lord! vouchsafe us the coolness of our eyes from our wives and our offspring (zurriyyat, i.e. the zarrat or particles of soul) and make us the Imam of the righteous” (25:74). This prayer is a prerogative of the pure Imams, who have two kinds of children: physical and spiritual. The holy Imam has the coolness of the eyes from both of them: by means of the physical son, he becomes the ImÀm of the world of religion and by means of the spiritual children, the Imam of the personal world.
