notifications_active Weekly Meshkat-e Noor Session: Thursdays at 20:30 at Haj Reza Mosque
Peace be upon you,
In light of the discussion of time that you are going to give, I have a few questions so that I can be better prepared for the new topic.
How can we move beyond our limited human perspective on time and draw closer to a timeless understanding?
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
We can move beyond our limited human perspective on time and draw closer to a timeless understanding by passing from divine decree to divine will. In its aspect of divine will, time is without limit; in its aspect of volition, it has temporal existence; and in its aspect of decree, it encompasses distinct units and instances of time.
Time begins with the Divine Will and, through the path of the Divine Decree, reaches the Divine Determination. Determined time can manifest in various temporal forms.
The identity of time as Divine Will has no measure; its identity as Divine Decree is temporal existence; and its identity as Divine Determination consists of its different units and individual instances.
Entry into the temporal world, with all its dimensions and wonders, depends on passing from Determination to Will!
