Salient Aspects of the Doctrine of the Qā’im According to Nāṣir-i Khusraw

Excerpt:
With respect to religious practices, the intellectual sharī’a (sharī’at-i ‘aql’ī) will continue and the conventional sharī’a (sharī’at-i waḍ’ī) will become super­fluous. That is, the realities (ḥaqā’iq), which were previously protected by the layers of allegories, will be accessible. There will no longer be a need for allegories and parables, and the taʾwīl will be given in its utterly pure form (taʾwīl-i mujarrad-i maḥḍ). Thus, very few practices will remain, and the taʾwīlī know­ledge will be available in its sublime form. The Prophet had prophesied such a time in saying: “You are in an age in which anyone of you who abandons one tenth of what is ordered (to do), will perish. Then, a time will come when anyone of them who shall observe one-tenth of what is now ordered to do will be re­deemed.”
