36:58
Salam is the name of the light of ta'yid. First of all, it rises in the form of the Divine Word (kalimah-i bari) or Word of Command (kalimah-i amr) . Since at that place, all pre-eternal and post-eternal realities and gnoses are one, therefore, one of the many names of the Divine Word is Salam, as is in the verse (36:58): "Salamun qawlan min rabbin rahlm (A word (i.e. Divine Word) of the Merciful Lord is the light of ta'yid) . This light is being received by the prophets and imams, and in this sense God says: "Subhana rabbika rabbi1- izzati amma yasifuna wa salamun ala'i-mursalin, i.e. Thy Lord, the Lord of honour, is free from what they ascribe to Him", and the prophets have continued to receive the light of ta'yid.
Three great wisdoms are mentioned in this verse: (a) God is free from what people ascribe to Him without recognition (marifat).
(b) He nourishes the religious, spiritual and intellectual honour and elevates it. (c) The light of ta'yid is received by the prophets and imams, and it is they who recognize God.
In "a Word of a Merciful Lord (kalimah-i bari)" (36:58), are hidden the secrets of the highest ta'yid and supreme salamati or peace, as God says in the hadith-i qudsi: "0 son of Adam! obey me, I will make you living like me that you never die, such mighty that you will never be humiliated and so rich that you will never be needy". (al-Majalis al-Mu'ayyadiyyah, Majlis No. 12). Here a question arises:
Will this be a new creation which was not there before? No. Here God does not say "I will create you (akhluquka)" rather, He says "I will make you (ajaluka)". This means that God will reveal to His obedient servants such secrets, through which, they will recognize themselves and they will see their higher I or higher soul in the abode of peace (dar al-salam) without any beginning or end.
