“A loss in creation is made up for through martyrdom; through the healing of the Divine Healer, this loss ascends to the Best of Orders…”
Could you explain this part in a little more detail?
The loss of a martyr—especially an Imam—is immense, affecting the entire created order. Through martyrdom, the martyr’s life-force, light and waves of vitality become far more intense than they were before. The Imam’s physical absence is accompanied by a twofold intensification of the effects of the martyr’s spiritual presence. By divine will, the created order is brought into a more favorable state through the martyr, and God’s light is made complete.
The loss of a martyr is a tremendous calamity, one that affects the entire universe. Imagine if the sun above us were suddenly to disappear: the Earth would be visibly transformed, and the conditions of life would become unbearably harsh. The loss of an Imam makes the conditions of existence far more difficult.
Yet because the Imam has attained the sublime rank of martyrdom and is provided for in the presence of his Lord, the vitality, radiance and waves of life emanating from him are far more powerful than they were before his martyrdom. Thus, the Imam’s physical absence is accompanied by a manifold intensification of the effects of the martyr’s spiritual presence. By God’s will, the martyr’s blessing makes the conditions of the universe more favourable.
The efforts of the godless to extinguish God’s light are met by God’s will to bring His light to completion.
