97:1
Hujjat-i Qa'im: Although hujjat has already been mentioned, the Qur'anic secrets about hujjat-i Qa'im are the most special, because he is the mamthul (meaning) of Laylatul-Qadr (Night of Power), That is, he is the tawil of Laylatul-Qadr and the way it has been praised exoterically in the Qur'an and the Hadith is applicable to him, because he is the lahiq or hujjat of Hazrat Qaimu'l-qiyamat, It is in his personal world that the light of the Qa'im has been revealed (97:1). See also the last paragraph of Chapter 33 of Wajh-i Din, by Pir Nasir-i Khusraw (q.s.).
It is extremely necessary for all of my azizan (students) to study the surah of Qadr (97:1-5) very carefully and repeatedly and to look up it's tawil in Wajh-i Din, particularly Chapter 33, in which it is said that the recognition of Hazrat Qaimul-qiyamat is not possible except through five hudud, who are Asas, Imam, Bab, Hujjat and Dai.
Sultan Muhammad Shah (peace be upon him):
Root: sin, lam, ta’. Sultan means proof, argument, force, overpowering, king. In this glorious and blessed name there are the meanings of the Muhammadan kingdom. And certainly the unprecedented personality of Hadrat Mawlana Sultan, peace and salutation of God be upon him, possessed the spiritual kingdom. Although every Imam in his time is the spiritual king, but according to the great programme of God, all times are not alike. Thus the time of Hadrat Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah was extremely important and very special, in fact, it was the greatest of all. For, in the language of the ta’wil of the Qur’an, his exalted personality was shab-i qadr (the night of qadr), in which the angels, the supreme soul and other souls of the world of command descend [to the physical world]. The purpose of the descent of the angels and souls is two fold: to take the account of the past from the people and to make a great programme for the future. Thus, in the time of this living shab-i qadr that promise of God, which is mentioned in (97:1- 5), has been fulfilled.
It should be remembered that whether it is ‘angel or soul’, it is found on several levels. That is, at the place of macrifat angels and souls are in their real [spiritual] form, which only an carif can see and recognise. But on the lower levels, the angels and souls who come to the people of this world are in a solidified (munjamid) form. That is, everything of knowledge, art and science of this world, in its origin and fountainhead, is a solidified angel or soul. Just as the water everywhere in its universal circle is not only water, but is also steam, vapour, cloud, snow, rain, ice, etc. Thus today, the scientists by splitting the atom have found the solidified soul in the form of electrons.
Similarly, flying saucers are also a kind of solidified angels. All this is according to that great programme of God, which is mentioned in the Qur’an time and again, which is related to the shab-i qadr and Hadrat Qa’imu’l-qiyamat, the most excellent greeting and peace be upon him.
