notifications_active Weekly Meshkat-e Noor Session: Thursdays at 20:30 at Haj Reza Mosque
Greetings to our dear teacher,
In light of dear Sajjad’s questions, I began to wonder: for time to have been created, there must have been a time when time did not exist. But this would mean that, at some point, one part of time existed while all the other parts did not. Given this, how can time be defined?
When we understand time as the medium through which successive creations appear, it becomes clear that there is an all-powerful force beyond time and space. Time and space are merely the tablets on which His signs are displayed; that force itself transcends time and space and encompasses them.
When time is interpreted as the screen upon which successive creations appear, this truth is established: there is an overpowering force beyond time and space, and time and space are but tablets on which His signs are displayed.
That which lies beyond time and beyond space is subject to neither. Before the threshold of the One who encompasses time and space, time and space are destined to perish.
The convergence of pre-eternity with post-eternity brings all time and space, from the perspective of the Real, into unity. He knows.
