📅 Date: 1403/0721 – 8 Rabiʿ al-Thani 1446

✨ Session: Meshkat-e Noor

📖 Weekly session on the explanation and interpretation of the Sahifa Sajjadiya (Supplication 20)

🎤 Speaker: Master Ali Saei

📝 Some of the topics discussed in the session:

🌸 The masterpiece of existence

🌺 The greatest masterpiece: What a blessed tree this Imam is, bearing a fruit such as the Mahdi—and this Mahdi holds within himself every flavor of existence. He is both celestial and transcendent in nature.

🌼 How can I know Imam Hasan al-Askari? I must know him, for if I do not, I will depart this world blind and sightless.

🌻 The Imam’s lamp shone, and the Mahdi’s beauty was revealed. Hail this heaven, this tree, this Imam, this Proof of God! The Proof, al-Askari—Imam Hasan al-Askari—is an Imam whose beauty sustains Paradise with its light; without it, Paradise would perish. Paradise without His Eminence is frail and diminished.

🌷 Imam Hasan al-Askari is the lamp of the people of Paradise. The people of Paradise draw light from the radiance of His beauty, while His Eminence is himself the paradise of all paradises. For Paradise, His Eminence is Paradise.

If our souls experience the light of His Eminence and love for Him, then we will see that our very being is the Garden of Eden—the most beautiful paradise in all existence. Our souls must remain ever alight with knowledge of and love for His Eminence al-Askari, and continue their beautiful life. From which sun do I receive light? How many suns and constellations fill my sky? Each sun will cause fruits to grow in my soul. The garden and field of my being need every one of these suns in the Muhammadan constellation.

🌹 The boundary between me and the Greatest Name depends on my intention and the sincerity of my intention. If my heart is pure and my knowledge is overflowing, then I will possess the Greatest Name.

🌸 When I pray, “اللهم عرفنی نفسک، عرفنی نبیک و عرفنی حجتک…” I am, in truth, asking for God’s Greatest Name. I am asking for God’s most beautiful Name. I am asking for God’s most merciful Name. I ask and seek from God the final degree of guidance, hoping to reach the utmost knowledge of God.

🌺 Without the Greatest Name, it is impossible for a person to attain lofty knowledge of God. اللهم عرفنی نفسک is a plea for special knowledge. What I truly seek is to attain the full breadth of knowledge of the Most Beautiful Names.

🌺 Why do I want to possess the Greatest Name? If someone seeks to attain it out of a desire to fly or perform miracles, they have already lost, for through the Greatest Name I must reach the greatest remembrance of God.

🌺 Is there anything higher than this? Through it, I want to attain the ultimate remembrance of God. The Greatest Name has twelve mysteries. Unless I attain them all, I will not reach God’s Greatest Name. I must attain knowledge of the manifestations of Imam al-Askari, and every one of his manifestations of knowledge and light. I must be granted the vision of all these beauties before I can claim to be a follower of Imam al-Askari. Until I reach that point, I have lost.

🌻 Imam al-Askari has shown us the way. I constantly recite God’s Greatest Name, but why do I see no effect? Show me a name of God that is not the Greatest. Every letter, verse and surah; every intimate prayer of the Prophet’s Household—is the Greatest Name.

🌼 They ask Imam al-Sadiq where to find the Greatest Name. The Imam says: بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم, it is the Greatest Name.  Elsewhere he has said: it is Surah al-Fatiha.

 When I recite Sūrat al-Fātiḥa, I am in fact invoking God’s Greatest Name. Elsewhere, they ask about the Greatest and Most Supreme Name. The Imam replies: Recite Sūrat al-Fātiḥa, Sūrat al-Tawḥīd, Āyat al-Kursī and Sūrat al-Qadr; then turn to God and call upon Him.

🌸 Elsewhere, Imam al-Riḍā (AS) is asked about God’s Greatest Name. He replies: “بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم و لاحول و لاقوه…” Say it a hundred times; this remembrance is closer to the Greatest Name than the black of the eye is to its white. Elsewhere, “يا حي و یا قیوم” is mentioned. “اللهم انی اسئلک الرحمن یا منان یا بدیع السماوات و الارض، یا ذوالجلال و الاکرام”, and elsewhere we also find: “اللهم یا مالک المُلک…” The Imam has also said: the final six verses of Sūrat al-Ḥashr, along with other hadiths, reveal to us this truth: all the Names and verses are supreme and exalted; there is no lesser name. All are signs of God, the Most Supreme. I must set myself right so that I may call upon God by His Greatest Name. My soul is sick; that is why it cannot do so.

🌼“ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ عَظَمَتِكَ بِأَعْظَمِهَا وَ كُلُّ عَظَمَتِكَ عَظِيمَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعَظَمَتِكَ كُلِّهَا ”… What can I do to attain it? The Imam himself has shown the way. My heart is hard; it cannot bring God’s Name to light or call upon Him. The heart should call upon God with due reverence and purity, with holiness and tenderness, but it lacks the capacity.

🌻 How can I set it in motion? This world is a great obstacle. It has made my heart sick. Worldliness and love of this world have poisoned me. I have fallen in love with the world; it has taken hold of me. How, then, can I free my heart from all the chains that bind it?

🌺 Imam al-ʿAskarī (AS), commenting on the verse «ثم قست قلوبکم کالحجارة او اشد قسوة», said: … But your hearts became hard and hardened; they grew firm and dried up. In goodness and mercy, your hearts became parched, and …

🌼 So much so that no good came forth from these beings any longer. People who turned to evil instead of good, and failed to fulfil God’s due. Whom does Imam al-ʿAskarī (AS) rebuke? Those who failed to fulfil God’s due: neither from their wealth, nor from what they had in excess, nor through kindness did they honour anyone. You gave nothing, showed no hospitality, and came to the aid of no one in distress.

🌼 There are stones that split open. Stones millions, even billions, of years old crack, and water flows from within them. But from within this human being, no goodness or moisture emerges.

🌷 Have we not, in dreams, heard inanimate things speak?

🌺 Should I compare myself to a stone? Am I not ashamed? Stones that hold waters in their hearts and become the embrace of rushing streams; stones more beautiful than flowers; stones like birds and fish—or more beautiful still. Stones like books.

🌼 Stones that are books inscribed by God. What histories and geographies lie within them! For millions of years they have sat in worship of God. Could this be why certain stones draw us to them? Many stones are learned and enlightened. Each stone is a distinct being: a sign and a history, a geography. It has understanding and awareness, it has feeling.

🌷 How can I attain the station of a stone? I, the noblest of creation, must learn at the feet of a stone and pass through its classroom before I can reach the classroom of humanity. This stone has outstripped me. What can I do to soften this heart? When I say my heart is hard as granite, I feel ashamed before the stone. Just as we taste our food, so too must we taste the Most Beautiful Names of God. 

We must remember God with sweetness—with taste and savor.

🌹 How can I bring this heart to that station? Make it sound, fit for God’s Names? Make it a companion and intimate of the Names? How can I make my heart a vessel for God’s Name? How can I unite the vessel with what it contains—the Name of God? The shortest path is through the sources of God’s Names. If every reality has been felt within those exalted beings, then the Names, too, flow through their souls. If I connect myself to those currents, I will attain the Most Beautiful Names of God.

🌸The proofs of God have attained the station of the Divine Face and brought death itself to its end.

🌸 Until God creates death, there will be no death. Just as, if He does not create life, there will be no life. So let us ennoble our hearts through ʿAbd al-Laṭīf and ʿAbd al-Raʾūf, ʿAbd al-Kabīr and ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm. Are these not means provided by God? For every matter, God’s proof is a means. I want to soften my heart and prepare it for God’s Greatest Name. Through the greatest means, I hope to reach God’s Greatest Name; this is the closest path. The perfect servant is the very “great servant” of “the Great God.” By following God’s great servant as my model, I can reach God’s Greatest Name.

🌼 All limitations are overcome in this way. I must call upon God with a heart that is meant to be the Throne of the All-Merciful. If I call upon God with such a heart, I will see that every name is God’s Greatest Name. The Quran is God’s greatest speech; it is a clarification of all things and contains everything.

🌺 Then why do I drink water yet gain no life? Why do I receive light yet fail to shine? Why do I call upon God by His names and receive no answer? Why does my heart receive the seeds of God’s verses, yet they do not blossom? Why has it lost the good it could have borne? What should I do? How can I make it soft and gentle? I must arrive; I must find the paths and set out upon them, until I reach my destination.

🌸 Flowers know the light and reveal its beauty.

🌸 At every moment, a new face of the sun is revealed. The flower bears witness: I know the sun. Through its purity and changing colours, it introduces the sun. It has become a mirror for the light; the reflection rising from the flower is a sign of its knowledge, testimony that it knows the sun. Beautiful vistas, in truth, introduce the sun; they display the light.

🌼 Where is the perfect mirror, so that I may behold the full face of the light? I have not seen the light itself; I have only seen an interpretation of it. I have grasped a translation of the light. I strive to see the light in its original form. How can I see God’s light? I must become clear, pure, limpid and mirror-like, so that the light may shine through me. I must receive His light and reflect it, become His moon—the fullest moon—so that I may claim to have known the light: the Light, the Proof, Imam Hasan al-Askari and Imam Mahdi. 

When a flower blossoms and grows into a plant and tree, it bears witness to its knowledge of the seed. Had I been like the seed, I would have known God’s word and borne fruit; I would have scattered gentleness and spread purity. But I have not. We must all be mirrors for one another.

🌻 A lover is one who mirrors the beloved. The one who attracts must mirror the one drawn to them. In this world, only Allah has no mirror, for He has no need of one; He is One and Unique. But His names and attributes do have mirrors: every one of God’s signs mirrors His most beautiful names.

🌺 We must become mirrors for God’s proofs. If we do not, we have fallen short in our duty toward the Imams.

🔅🌼 Imam Hasan al-Askari: a masterpiece among masterpieces🌼🔅

🌹The masterpiece of Imam Hasan al-Askari’s Imamate, peace be upon him, is Imam Mahdi, peace be upon him;

🌹What a blessed sky Imam al-Askari, peace be upon him, is! From it rose a mighty star like Mahdi, peace be upon him.

🌹What a blessed and bounteous tree Imam al-Askari, peace be upon him, is! It bears a fruit like Mahdi, who holds within himself every celestial and sacred flavour.

🌹From which sun do you draw light, when we have twelve suns above us!

🌹Have you received and observed the light of every constellation?!

🌹The Imam’s manifestation in knowledge, name and light is his form in knowledge, name and light.

🌹The lamp of al-Askari shone, and the beauty of Mahdi was revealed.

🌹The people of Paradise are nourished by the light of al-Askari’s beauty. Without Hasan al-Askari, Paradise is feeble and wan, devoid of strength and vitality. Without his presence, its beauty lies veiled, its loveliness and purity concealed.

🌹«سراج اهل الجنه یستضیئون به» Let us illuminate the Paradise of our souls with the beauty of al-Askari and keep it ever radiant—though the true Paradise itself is Hasan al-Askari. His Eminence is the Paradise of all paradises.

🔅🌼 Imam Hasan al-Askari, peace be upon him, is the supreme key to the Divine Greatest Name 🌼🔅

🌹An explanation of Imam Hasan al-Askari’s words about the Divine Greatest Name.

🌹Why do we fail to attain the Divine Greatest Name?!

🌹Why do we drink water yet gain no life from it?!

🌹Why do we receive light but remain unillumined?!

🌹Why do we call upon God by His names and receive no answer? What has happened to this heart? Why does it not understand?!

🌹Why does the heart not receive the seed and nurture its growth?! Why do the mighty seeds of God’s signs not blossom in our hearts?! Why is the heart not fertile—why?!

🌹Worldly attachment, absorption in this world, desires, and love of worldly things destroy us, turning us into hard granite—or something harder still.

🌹Just as we taste our food, we must also taste the Most Beautiful Names and make their effects manifest in our blood, our flesh, and our souls.

🔅🌼 Why stones surpass so many human beings in the realm of spiritual knowledge 🌼🔅

🌹There are stones that have held water within them for millions of years; when they split open, drops of water flow from them.

🌹There are stones that split open, releasing streams from within; stones that open their arms to water and send forth abundant, flowing blessings.

🌹Is it impossible to converse with a stone? Some stones are, in truth, complete and comprehensive books.

🌹Many stones may be sages and scholars, though we do not recognize them.

🌹Every stone is a wondrous, singular being, a history and a geography; they possess understanding and awareness.

🌹People are drawn to certain stones because of the devotional invocations that vibrate within them, because of their inner delicacy. They have spent their whole lives in worship.

🌹There are stones that preach!

🌹Perhaps stones, mountains, and crags know the Divine Greatest Name, and God’s Messenger and His saint, better than many human beings do!

🌻🔆Al-Hashr: 21   لَوْ أَنْزَلْنا هذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلى‏ جَبَلٍ لَرَأَيْتَهُ خاشِعاً مُتَصَدِّعاً مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ تِلْكَ الْأَمْثالُ نَضْرِبُها لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

🔆Had We sent down this Qur’an upon a mountain, you would surely have seen it humbled and split asunder in fear of God. We set forth these examples for people, so that they may reflect.

🔅🌼 O God, make that transcendent mystery known to me 🌼🔅

🌹Among the secrets of the supplication «عرفنی نفسک …عرفنی نبیک…عرفنی حجتک…» is attaining complete familiarity with God’s Most Beautiful Names. What is meant is not familiarity with their wording, but with their allusions, subtleties, realities, and meanings. The aim is to reach their true purpose and inner interpretation.

🌹«عرفنی نفسک»—that is, to seek knowledge of the totality of the Divine Names, to seek the Greatest Name in all its letters.

🌹«اللهم عرفنی نبیک، اللهم عرفنی حجتک…»—that is, to enter the heart of mysteries, knowledge, and wisdom, one must pass through its gates. The key to its code lies in the house of reports, communications, revelations, and the sacred twelve letters of God.

🌹What is the mystery of the Prophet and the saint? What are we to do with the Prophet and the saint? Surely, we seek out sources of reports and mysteries only to reach those very reports and mysteries!!!

🔅🌼 To attain the Greatest Name, the heart must be illumined and made tender 🌼🔅

🌹Light softens and refines the heart. Righteous deeds and the Two Weighty Things are among the principal means of attaining this aim.

🌹To soften, illuminate and draw hearts together, we must seek the means that bring this about!

🔅🌼The scholar reflects knowledge🌼🔅

🌹Let us become mirrors of light and truth, so that we may attain their sublime knowledge.

🌹Mirrors come in many forms; the fully realized gnostic scholar is the perfect mirror.

🌹Color is a description of light: an interpretation of radiance, a way of knowing light, a quality of light.

🌹To reflect light is to declare what is known of it. No object is a mirror for every vibration; that is, not every object can reflect every vibration. Knowledge is reflection: the response that arises in the face of realities.

🌹To receive and reflect every vibration of light is complete and perfect knowledge, from the vibrations of the heavenly and divine realms to their highest degrees.

🌹An object, once acquainted with light, is nurtured and blossoms like a flower from seed.

🌹Which Imam’s light do we reflect? For which of God’s Most Beautiful Names have I become a mirror? We must become a full-length mirror for God’s Proof, and a perfect mirror for all of God’s Most Beautiful Names.

🌹Flowers are mirrors of the sun, and landscapes are mirrors of light.

🌹The true appearance and countenance of light is not what we see; what we actually behold is a representation, a translation of light.

🌹Every star in the heavens has its own distinct countenance; the landscapes will differ with each one.

🌹True spouses are mirrors to one another; the one who draws and the one who is drawn, the lover and the beloved, are mirrors to each other.

🌹None but God Most High has no mirror, for He is One and Unique. But His Names and Attributes have mirrors: they are each and every one of God’s signs.

🔅🌼All of God’s Names are supreme🌼🔅

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ بَهَائِكَ بِأَبْهَاهُ وَ كُلُّ بَهَائِكَ بَهِيٌّ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِبَهَائِكَ كُلِّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ جَلَالِكَ بِأَجَلِّهِ وَ كُلُّ جَلَالِكَ جَلِيلٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِجَلَالِكَ كُلِّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ جَمَالِكَ بِأَجْمَلِهِ وَ كُلُّ جَمَالِكَ جَمِيلٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِجَمَالِكَ كُلِّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَنِي اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ عَظَمَتِكَ بِأَعْظَمِهَا وَ كُلُّ عَظَمَتِكَ عَظِيمَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعَظَمَتِكَ كُلِّهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ نُورِكَ بِأَنْوَرِهِ وَ كُلُّ نُورِكَ نَيِّرٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِكَ كُلِّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ بِأَوْسَعِهَا وَ كُلُّ رَحْمَتِكَ وَاسِعَة[1]

🔅🌼The Imam is the Kaaba of God’s Greatest Name🌼🔅

🌹Let us set our hearts in motion toward all of God’s Most Beautiful Names; let us make them gentle, tender, sound, loving, kind and companionable, so that we may become vessels for the content of God’s Greatest Name. Let us make the vessel and its content one.

🌹Let us discover the sources of the Most Beautiful Names.

🌹By what vessel has “all things” been encompassed? Surely this encompassing includes the Most Beautiful Names as well!

🌹Let us discover the boundless source of knowledge. Knowledge has no end; boundless knowledge requires a boundless vessel. The Creator has made the hearts of His Proofs everlasting and sustained them, removing death and annihilation from them and making them vessels for His knowledge.

🌹Until the Creator creates death, there will be no death!

🌻🔆الملك : 2   الَّذي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَ الْحَياةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلاً وَ هُوَ الْعَزيزُ الْغَفُورُ

🔆He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed; and He is the Almighty, the All-Forgiving.

🌹Let us make our hearts gentle through ʿAbd al-Laṭīf and ʿAbd al-Raʾūf. Are not the divine Proofs means provided by God? Indeed, they are means for every purpose, including attaining God’s Greatest Name and removing the obstacles that stand in the way of reaching it.

🌻🔆Al-Māʾidah 35:   O أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ ابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسيلَةَ وَ جاهِدُوا في‏ سَبيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

🔆you who believe! Be mindful of God, seek a means of drawing near to Him, and strive in His cause, so that you may prosper!

🌹The devoted servant is the shortest path;

🌹 servitude lies in attaining the divine Most Beautiful Names.

🌹The perfect servant is the servant of the Great God, the very Greatest Name of God, the means of reaching “God, the Most High, the Most Great.”

🔅🌼 A hardened heart cannot comprehend the Greatest Name.🌼🔅

🌹How often a stone is softer, more discerning, and more knowledgeable than many human beings.

🌷🔆قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ قالُوا يَعْنِي هَؤُلَاءِ الْيَهُودَ الَّذِينَ أَرَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمُعْجِزَاتِ‏ الْمَذْكُورَاتِ‏- عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ‏: فَهِيَ كَالْحِجارَةِ الْآيَةَ- «قُلُوبُنَا غُلُفٌ أَوْعِيَةٌ لِلْخَيْرِ، وَ الْعُلُومُ قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِهَا وَ اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ هِيَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ لَا تَعْرِفُ لَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَضْلًا- مَذْكُوراً فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ كُتُبِ اللَّهِ، وَ لَا عَلَى لِسَانِ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ.[2]

🔆Imam al-Askari (peace be upon him): When the Jews saw the miraclesmentioned [in the Qur’an] performed by the Messenger of God, and heard the verse فَهِیَ کَالحِجارَة … , they replied: قُلُوبُنا غُلْفٌ (Our hearts are encased).

🌷🔆تَفْسِيرُ الْإِمَامِ الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ‏ قَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ زَعَمْتَ‏ أَنَ‏ الْأَحْجَارَ أَلْيَنُ‏ مِنْ‏ قُلُوبِنَا وَ أَطْوَعُ لِلَّهِ مِنَّا فَاسْتَشْهِدْ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ عَلَى تَصْدِيقِكَ فَأَمَرَ ع فَتَحَرَّكَ الْجَبَلُ وَ تَزَلْزَلَ وَ فَاضَ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ وَ نَادَى أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ سَيِّدُ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ نِصْفَيْنِ وَ تَرْتَفِعَ السُّفْلَى وَ تَنْخَفِضَ الْعُلْيَا وَ تَبَاعَدَ ع إِلَى فَضَاءٍ وَاسِعٍ ثُمَّ نَادَى أَيُّهَا الْجَبَلُ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ فِي كَلَامٍ لَهُ فَتَزَلْزَلَ الْجَبَلُ‏ وَ سَارَ كَالْقَارِحِ الْهَمْلَاجِ‏  حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالُوا رَجُلٌ مَبْخُوت‏[3]

🔆Imam al-Askari (peace be upon him): Then your hearts hardened. The Jews said, “O Muhammad, you claim that stones are softer than our hearts and more obedient than we are to God’s commands. So ask this mountain to testify to your truthfulness.” The Prophet gave the command; the mountain shook and trembled, water flowed from it, and it cried out, “I testify that you are the Messenger of the Lord of the two worlds and the master of all creation.” Then the Prophet commanded the mountain to split in two, with its lower part rising and its upper part descending, and the two halves moving apart into the wide open space. He then called out, “O mountain, I adjure you by the right of Muhammad and his pure family (peace be upon them).” The mountain trembled and moved like a galloping horse until it stood before him. Then they said, “He is a fortunate man.”

🌹It is no wonder that a mountain should move and split in two by God’s command. If Moses (peace be upon him) could part the sea by God’s permission, then splitting a mountain, making it move and speak for the noblest of the prophets, by God’s permission, would be no difficult matter.

🌷🔆It is narrated from النّبيّ- صلّى اللّه him and his family— أنّه قال: إِنَّ حَجَراً کَانَ یُسَلِّمُ عَلَیَّ فِی الْجَاهِلِیَّه وَ إِنِّی لَأَعْرِفُهُ الْآنَ.[4]

The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)—

🔆It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): A stone used to greet me in the days of ignorance, and I still recognize it.

🌹Indeed, there are stones that knew the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by name and lineage before he proclaimed his mission; yet, unlike those stones, many people denied his prophethood even after witnessing his miracles.

🔅🌼 The heart must be tender and gentle to apprehend the Greatest Divine Name. 🌼🔅

🌹The heart must become the throne of the All-Merciful in order to understand the Greatest Divine Name.

🌹We read the Qur’an again and again, though it is “an explanation of all things.” So why does it have no effect? Each time we read the Qur’an, we should come to understand all things—and more besides. Why, then, does this not happen?

🌻🔆Al-Naḥl: 89   وَ يَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ في‏ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهيداً عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ جِئْنا بِكَ شَهيداً عَلى‏ هؤُلاءِ وَ نَزَّلْنا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ تِبْياناً لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ هُدىً وَ رَحْمَةً وَ بُشْرى‏ لِلْمُسْلِمينَ

🔆(Remember) the day when We shall raise up against every community a witness from among themselves, and make you a witness against them. We have sent down to you the Book as an explanation of all things, and as guidance, mercy, and glad tidings for the Muslims.

🌷🔆قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: إِنَّي لَأَعْلَمُ خَبَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ خَبَرَ الْأَرْضِ وَ خَبَرَ مَا كَانَ وَ خَبَرَ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ كَأَنَّهُ فِي كَفِّي، قَالَ: مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمُهُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ: «فِيهِ تِبْيَانُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ”^[5]

Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: “I know the reports of the heavens and the earth, and what has been and what will be, as though it were in the palm of my hand. I know this from the Book of God. God Himself has said that in it is a clear exposition of all things.”

🌹The word of God contains the meanings of the One who speaks, and the Speaker is «every day He is engaged in some matter».

🌻🔆Al-Raḥmān: 29   يَسْئَلُهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ في‏ شَأْنٍ

🔆All who are in the heavens and the earth ask of Him; every day He is engaged in some matter.

🔅🌼 The secret of softening the heart 🌼🔅

🌷🔅 قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ صَاحِبُ النِّيَّةِ الصَّادِقَةِ صَاحِبُ الْقَلْبِ السَّلِيمِ لِأَنَّ سَلَامَةَ الْقَلْبِ مِنْ هَوَاجِسِ الْمَحْذُورَاتِ بِتَخْلِيصِ النِّيَّةِ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ يَوْمَ لا يَنْفَعُ مالٌ وَ لا بَنُونَ. إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ‏ سَلِيمٍ‏ وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص نِيَّةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ وَ قَالَ ص إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَلَا بُدَّ لِلْعَبْدِ مِنْ خَالِصِ النِّيَّةِ فِي كُلِّ حَرَكَةٍ وَ سُكُونٍ لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهَذَا الْمَعْنَى يَكُونُ غَافِلًا وَ الْغَافِلُونَ قَدْ ذَمَّهُمُ‏ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ‏ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا وَ قَالَ‏ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْغافِلُونَ‏ ثُمَّ النِّيَّةُ تَبْدُو مِنَ الْقَلْبِ عَلَى قَدْرِ صَفَاءِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَ تَخْتَلِفُ عَلَى حَسَبِ اخْتِلَافِ الْإِيمَانِ فِي مَعْنَى قُوَّتِهِ وَ ضَعْفِهِ وَ صَاحِبُ النِّيَّةِ الْخَالِصَةِ نَفْسُهُ وَ هَوَاهُ مَعَهُ مَقْهُورَتَانِ تَحْتَ سُلْطَانِ تَعْظِيمِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ الْحَيَاءِ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ مِنْ طَبْعِهِ وَ شَهْوَتِهِ وَ مُنْيَةُ نَفْسِهِ مِنْهُ فِي تَعَبٍ وَ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ فِي رَاحَة[6]

🌷🔅Al-Baqarah: 74   ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ فَهِيَ كَالْحِجارَةِ أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً وَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْحِجارَةِ لَما يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ الْأَنْهارُ وَ إِنَّ مِنْها لَما يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْماءُ وَ إِنَّ مِنْها لَما يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا اللَّهُ بِغافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

🔅Then, after that, your hearts hardened and became like stones, or even harder. For among stones are some from which rivers gush forth; others split open and water flows from them; and others tumble down from the heights in awe of God. Yet your hearts neither tremble in fear of God nor become springs of knowledge, learning, and human compassion. God is not unaware of what you do.

🌷🔅Al-Anʿām: 43   فَلَوْ لا إِذْ جاءَهُمْ بَأْسُنا تَضَرَّعُوا وَ لكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ ما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

🔅Why, when Our punishment came upon them, did they not humble themselves and submit? Rather, their hearts had hardened, and Satan had made their deeds seem fair to them!

🌷🔅 قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ‏ وَ جَفَّتْ‏ وَ يَبِسَتْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ [قُلُوبُكُمْ‏] مَعَاشِرَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ‏ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنْتُ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ الْبَاهِرَاتِ فِي زَمَانِ مُوسَى ع، وَ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ- الَّتِي شَاهَدْتُمُوهَا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ.

فَهِيَ كَالْحِجارَةِ الْيَابِسَةِ لَا تَرْشَحُ بِرُطُوبَةٍ، وَ لَا يَنْتَفِضُ‏ مِنْهَا مَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَيْ أَنَّكُمْ لَا حَقَّ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى تُؤَدُّونَ، وَ لَا [مِنْ‏] أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ لَا مِنْ مَوَاشِيهَا تَتَصَدَّقُونَ، وَ لَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ تَتَكَرَّمُونَ وَ تَجُودُونَ، وَ لَا الضَّيْفَ تُقْرُونَ، وَ لَا مَكْرُوباً تُغِيثُونَ، وَ لَا بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِيَّةِ تُعَاشِرُونَ وَ تُعَامِلُونَ.

أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً إِنَّمَا هِيَ فِي قَسَاوَةِ الْأَحْجَارِ أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً أَبْهَمَ عَلَى السَّامِعِينَ وَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ، كَمَا يَقُولُ الْقَائِلُ: أَكَلْتُ خُبْزاً أَوْ لَحْماً، وَ هُوَ لَا يُرِيدُ بِهِ أَنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَا أَكَلْتُ، بَلْ يُرِيدُ [بِهِ‏] أَنْ يُبْهِمَ عَلَى السَّامِعِ- حَتَّى لَا يَعْلَمَ مَا ذَا أَكَلَ، وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَكَلَ.[7]

🔅Imam al-Askari (peace be upon him) said: After the great signs and miracles you witnessed in the time of Moses (peace be upon him), and the signs and miracles you saw from Muhammad

, you were like dry stone, with no moisture or trace of water to bring benefit. That is, you neither paid God’s due nor gave from your wealth and financial means; you made no effort or sacrifice for any good cause, showed no hospitality, came to no one’s aid, and observed none of the courtesies of human conduct.

Your hearts became hard—like rocks, or even harder. [God] expresses this ambiguously, without explaining. It is like someone telling another, “I ate bread or meat.” He does not mean that he himself does not know which one he ate; rather, he wants to leave it unclear to the listener, so the listener will not know what he ate—though he does want the listener to understand that, in any case, he ate something.

The verse does not mean, “Rather, they are harder than rocks.” For a retraction—first stating something incorrectly and then correcting it—is a kind of error, and it is impossible to attribute error to God, as though He were to say something mistakenly and then correct Himself. He knows the past, the present and the future, and knows what anything that comes into being in the future will be like. Such retraction belongs only to an imperfect creature.

Nor does it mean, “Your hearts are like rocks, and harder than rocks.” For [if He were to say that their hearts are hard like rocks and then say they are even harder than rocks,] the second statement would contradict the first: the first says that their hearts are as hard as rocks, neither harder nor softer. So if the next statement were, “Rather, they are harder than rocks,” [it would overturn the preceding statement and] amount to a retraction. The first statement says that their hearts are not harder than rocks.

This is an example meant to convey that “your hearts are not a source or wellspring of goodness, whether little or much.” The first statement is left ambiguous, with the words أَوْ أَشَدُّ, but the second makes clear that they are harder than rocks. This clarification is made not through words أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَة but through this verse.

They said, “O Muhammad, you suppose that in our hearts there is no inclination to care for the poor, help the destitute, spend our wealth to thwart falsehood and put an end to it, or support the truth and bring it to life. In short, there is no trace of human qualities in these hearts, and even these hard rocks are far softer than they, and more submissive to God’s command? Here are the mountains before us. Let us go together to one of them and ask it to testify to your truthfulness and our falsehood. If it speaks and eloquently confirms you, then you are indeed in the right, and we will have no choice but to follow you and submit. But if it denies you—or simply remains silent and gives no answer—you must know that you have erred in your claim and, driven by whim, have taken the path of obstinacy and hostility.”

The Prophet replied, “There is no objection. Let us go to whichever of these mountains you choose, and I will call it to testify. It will bear witness in my favour and against you.”

They set out, chose the hardest crag, and said to the Prophet, “Here is the mountain. Call it to testify.”

The Messenger of God turned towards the mountain and said, “O mountain! By the greatness of Muhammad’s rank, and of the pure members of his family, in honour of whose names God accepted Adam’s repentance … and raised Idris to a noble station in His Paradise, I adjure you to bear witness before these Jews, by the testimony God has entrusted to you, to the hardness of their hearts and their denial of the words of Muhammad, the Messenger of God.”

The mountain stirred, water flowed from it, and it cried out, “O Muhammad! I bear witness that you are the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds and the best of humankind. I bear witness that the hearts of these Jews are harder than rocks, just as you have described them, and yield nothing from within—though torrents of water gush or stream from the heart of a rock [these people’s hearts show no tenderness]. I also bear witness that they lie in falsely attributing to you what they say about the God of the worlds.”

🔅🌼 Appendix: The Greatest Name of God 🌼🔅

🌹All the divine names are supreme, most radiant, most exalted, most beautiful and most luminous. Likewise, all the verses of God in the Qur’an and the sacred sources are most holy and supreme; and the whispered prayers of the Infallible and Pure Household, too, rank among the names of God. The heart must be capable of activating those names. Various traditions refer to different names of God and to different prayers for attaining the divine name, which bears witness to this very point.

🌷🔆Among the reports transmitted with his chain of authority is this one, narrated by Ṣāliḥ al-Murrī: “Someone appeared to me in a dream and said, ‘Shall I teach you God’s Greatest Name, the name by which, when He is invoked, He answers?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘When you pray, say: اللهم إني أسألك باسمك المخزون المكنون المبارك الطاهر المطهر المقدس’” Ṣāliḥ said, “Whenever I invoked God with it, on land or at sea, God answered me.”

Another report says that Ghālib al-Qaṭṭān said: “For twenty years, I kept praying to God to teach me His Greatest Name, the name by which, when He is invoked, He answers, and when He is asked, He gives. One night, while I was praying, I heard a voice say, ‘Ghālib, listen to what you hear.’ Then sleep overcame me as I stood, and I heard a voice say, ‘يا فارج الغم و يا كاشف الهم و يا موفي العهد و يا حي و يا لا إله إلا أنت’ From then on, whenever I asked God for anything by these words, He granted it to me.”
