🔅🌼 Hasanī appetite🌼🔅
🌹Let us revive and strengthen our Hasanī appetite!
🌹Let us examine our love for Hasan!
🌹Can we taste the Hasanī sweetness?
🌹Are we alive with Hasanī life?
🌹Does the Hasanī pulse beat within us? Do we breathe with Hasanī breath?
🌹What news of the Hasanī waves within our souls?
🔅🌼 Our Hasanī worth🌼🔅
🌷🔆قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قِيمَةُ كُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا يُحْسِنُه[1]
🔆A person’s worth lies in what they hold dear.
🌹The worth of our souls lies in their beauty, and in our thoughts and aspirations; our souls’ Hasanī beauty is worth far more.
🔅🌼 The Hasanī first sighting🌼🔅
🌹From first sighting to exploring Hasanīya, from discovery to witnessing Hasanī beauty, finding its hidden treasures and drawing benefit from them—this is the duty of every Shi‘i.
🌹With the treasure of Hasanīya at hand, why be poor? Through Hasan, we lack nothing—not in wealth, life, thought, intellect, or knowledge.
🌹What must we do to reach the flower, to reach the honey? To reach divine love, the fragrance of wilayah is the best guide.
🌹Let us seek our own beauty; without experiencing Hasanīya, we lose at life.
🔅🌼 The Hasanī ظهور🌼🔅
🌹Let us await the ظهور of Hasan; the Hasan within us is waiting for us to awaken.
🌹If we forget Ḥasan, we have forgotten ḥusn—beauty. We have forgotten ourselves and everything else; we have forgotten God, for Ḥasan is a sign of God’s beauty.
🔅🌼 You have lost your own beauty🌼🔅
🌹What if we lose our sight and our hearts!
🌹If we forget and lose our own beauty, we are wanderers, lost and adrift!
🌹Lack of recognition is to be lost;
🌹Lack of recognition is to lose one’s way;
🌹If we lose our parents and do not know that we have a mother and father, we have lost love; we have lost our roots.
🌹We have Hasanīya! Let us not forget it. We have lost goodness; let us renew our Hasanī bond with the Hasan within us!
🔅🌼 The world of good deeds🌼🔅
🌹From one flower to another, from one star to another, from one heaven to another, signs of Hasan can be found! God, the Creator of beauty, has displayed a sign of Ḥasan in every one of His signs.
🔅🌼 Uncovering the secrets of Hasanīya🌼🔅
🌹The pure and sacred being of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, peace be upon him, is a divine mystery. By uncovering the secrets of Hasanīya, divine mysteries are revealed.
🌹Let me know Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba through the world within me and the world beyond me.
🌹We have a heart, and must come to know it; likewise, we have a Hasanī presence within our souls, and must come to know it.
“Ṣadr, suwaydā, qalb, fu’ād and shagaf” are among the layers of our soul.
🌹Our heart has a Hasanī layer. Our mind has a Hasanī layer. Our life has a Hasanī life.
🌹Each of the Imams is a source encompassing all things, and each source is unique. Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, is a source unlike any other—a collection without equal.
🔅🌼The Hasanid Speaking Quran🌼🔅
🌹The Quran has a Hasanid inner meaning.
🌹Hasan, too, is one of the gates to the City of Knowledge.
🌹“The Gate of God” is a phrase of immense significance. A gate signifies arrival, the moment of meeting, and the place of encounter.
🌹Knowing Hasan is one of the great fields of knowing God.
🌹اللهم عرفنی حسنک. Through the Hasanid interpretation of the soul’s primordial nature, may we attain knowledge of Hasan. Hasan is God’s book of Hasanid oneness.
🌹To remain ignorant of Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, is to be blind to Hasan, for Imam Hasan, too, is one of the ever-watchful eyes of God.
🌷🔆وَ بِعِلْمِكَ الَّذِي أَحاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْء
🌹We have a Hasanid life and a Hasanid passing.
🌹Let us come to the aid of Hasan, our own soul! And likewise Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, and others—the proofs of God who are our very soul.
🌻🔆Muhammad: 7 يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَ يُثَبِّتْ أَقْدامَكُمْ
🔆O you who believe! If you help God, He will help you and make your steps firm.
🌹Reviving the light of divine authority is tantamount to helping God’s religion.
🔅🌼The Hasanid bond is eternal🌼🔅
🌹We will live forever with Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, peace be upon him. Let us remember: God’s proof is not confined to the earth or to this world. We will be with him in different realms, in many forms and ways.
🌹Hasan is a book without end; we have not yet read or understood even a single line of it.
🔅🌼The Pearl of the People of the Cloak🌼🔅
🌹Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, is of the main trunk of the tree of prophethood.
🌹Hasan is a principal branch of divine oneness.
🌹The meaning of the People of the Cloak—the People of the Mantle—is broader than we imagine. All existence lies beneath their sheltering cloak.
🔅🌼A moment’s distance is an eternal loss🌼🔅
🌹We must live every moment with the Imam. A single moment of separation is a loss measured against eternity.
🔅🌼Let us make this world the gateway to the Hereafter🌼🔅
🌹This world is only a place of trial and testing, where we prove our worth. It is our examination in servitude to God; it is our entry pass.
🌹In one respect, each Imam is like a distinct course of study, a particular book, a field of its own; we must become specialists in them all.
🌹When will we attain the most radiant and supreme light? When we are able to reach the interpretation and inner meaning of the Verse of Light, and grasp the reality of the Verse of Divine Authority. Then we will have reached our highest degree.
🔅🌼Nourishment from the Infinite🌼🔅
🌹Let us nourish ourselves as much as we can from the Water of Life, from light, knowledge, wisdom, and majesty. Even abundance is not enough.
🌹Draw warmth from the sun; the soul cannot be sated by anything less than infinite power. Complete nourishment is essential to grasping that exalted station.
🔅🌼We abide in divine authority🌼🔅
🌹The era of Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, has not passed; his authority is firmly established in our souls.
🌹If the authority of any one of God’s proofs is severed from our soul, the order of our being falls apart. To be cut off from any one of them is for a spirit within us to depart. If the Hasanid spirit is severed, we are deprived of understanding Hasanid life.
🔅🌼If the Muhammadan light were planted in the heart of the cosmos🌼🔅
🌹The dwelling place of the blessed Messenger’s light among the twelve veils speaks to the majesty of the proofs of the matchless Creator.
🌹 It is surmised that Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, is the second of the twelve veils surrounding the Light of Muhammad.

🌷🔆Sufyan al-Thawri relates from Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq, from his father, from his grandfather, from ʿAli ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon them all), that the Imam said:
God, Blessed and Exalted, created the light of Muhammad (may God bless him and his family) before creating the heavens and the earth, the Throne and the Footstool, the Tablet and the Pen, Paradise and Hell—and before creating Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, David, Solomon, and all those whom God mentions in this verse: وَ وَهَبْنا لَهُ إِسْحاقَ وَ يَعْقُوبَ- الى- وَ هَدَيْناهُمْ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ (“We bestowed Isaac and Jacob upon Abraham,” continuing to the words, “We guided them to a straight path”—Qur’an 6:84–87). He created it, too, one hundred and twenty-four thousand years before creating all the prophets (perhaps this refers to divine days, not days as we count them).
With it, He, Mighty and Exalted, created twelve veils: the Veil of Power, the Veil of Majesty, the Veil of Grace, the Veil of Mercy, the Veil of Felicity, the Veil of Nobility, the Veil of Rank, the Veil of Guidance, the Veil of Prophethood, the Veil of Exaltation, the Veil of Awe, and the Veil of Intercession.
Then He kept the light of Muhammad (may God bless him and his family) within the Veil of Power for twelve thousand years, as it said:
“Glory be to my Lord, the Most High,” [and praised Him]. He kept it for eleven thousand years within the Veil of Majesty, as it said: “Holy is the Knower of hidden things.” For ten thousand years He kept it within the Veil of Grace, as it said: “Holy and exalted is God, the Everlasting, whose work is never in vain.” For nine thousand years it remained within the Veil of Mercy, as it said: “Holy and exalted is God, the Most High.” For eight thousand years it remained within the Veil of Felicity, as it said: “Holy is the Lord who endures and does not err.” For seven thousand years He kept it within the Veil of Nobility, as it said:
“Holy is God, who is free of need and never has need of anything.” For six thousand years it remained within the Veil of Rank, as it said: “Holy is my Lord, the Most High and the Generous.” For five thousand years it remained within the Veil of Guidance, as it said: “Holy is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” For four thousand years He kept it within the Veil of Prophethood, as it said: “The All-Powerful, Unique Lord is beyond the ignorant and false descriptions of the idolaters.” For three thousand years it remained within the Veil of Exaltation, as it said: “Holy is God, the Sovereign, Lord of all dominion.” For two thousand years He kept it within the Veil of Awe, as it said: “Holy is God, and I find solace in praising Him.” And for one thousand years it remained within the Veil of Intercession, as it said: “Holy is the Great Lord, and I am occupied in praising Him.”
Then God made His name, a radiant light, manifest upon the Tablet, where it remained for four thousand years. After that, He made it manifest upon the summit of the Throne, where it remained for seven thousand years, until He placed it in Adam’s back. From there it passed into Noah’s back, then from one loins to another, until it emerged from the loins of ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAbd al-Muttalib. He then honored and distinguished him with six gifts: He clothed his body in the Garment of Contentment, cast the Mantle of Awe over his shoulders, placed the Crown of Guidance upon his head, clothed him beneath his garment in the Robe of Gnosis, made Love his belt, with which he fastened his trousers, and placed the Sandals of Fear upon his feet; He gave him the Staff of Rank to hold. (This is a figurative way of saying that his whole being was adorned with contentment, awe, guidance, gnosis, love, reverent fear, and rank—all inward garments—by likening the abstract to the tangible.)
Then God said to him: “O Muhammad, go to the people and command them to say: ‘No إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ’.” The garment was made of six things: its body was of ruby, its two sleeves of pearl, its button of yellow crystal, its two underarms of emerald, its necklace of red coral, and its collar of the light of God, Glorious is His Majesty. By the blessing of this garment, God accepted Adam’s repentance, restored Solomon’s ring to him, reunited Joseph with Jacob, saved Jonah from the belly of the fish, and delivered the other prophets from their trials. That garment was none other than the garment of Muhammad (may God bless him and his family).
🌹The light of Muhammad filled each of the veils and brought them to bloom, turning them into gardens of remembrance, mosques, and prayer niches.
🌹The cocoons of Muhammadan light nurtured the pure blossoms of existence.
🌹Reflect on your dwelling within the soul of wilayah; find repose within the souls of the twelve veils.
🌹The confinement of the light of Muhammad is like that light being sown within the divine veils. The long confinement of the light of Muhammad speaks to the grandeur of the events, creation, and Muhammadan blossoms that unfolded in that place of confinement.
🌹The journey continues until we have become the light of wilayah in its entirety.
🔅🌼 Let us not leave the field of wilayah’s attraction. 🌼🔅
🌹We are travelling and progressing along with the entire cosmos, even if we do not know it. We are moving at unimaginable speeds; if we were to break free from any of our orbits, we would be like someone who has left the tracks, suffered an accident, or been brought to a sudden halt.
🌹If we escape Earth’s gravity, we will wander aimlessly in the vastness of the cosmos.
🌹We are held within the pull of the twelvefold gravity. No one can escape the twelve veils; within them, our light and spirit must be refined.
🌹Each of the attractions of the Household has its own speed and orbit, and follows its own order.
🌹The universe is like a bird in flight. We, too, are like birds in the heart of the cosmos.
🔅🌼Nourishment from Hasan’s wholesome fare🌼🔅
🔅🌼The one who knows God is in love with God🌼🔅
🌷🔆الْحَسَنُ ع أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ إِدَامَةِ التَّفَكُّرِ فَإِنَّ التَّفَكُّرَ أَبُو كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ أُمُّهُ
وَ عَنْهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ اللَّهَ أَحَبَّهُ وَ مَنْ عَرَفَ الدُّنْيَا زَهِدَ فِيهَا وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ لَا يَلْهُو حَتَّى يَغْفُلَ فَإِذَا تَفَكَّرَ حَزِن[4]
🔆Imam Hasan (peace be upon him): I counsel you to be mindful of God and to reflect, for reflection is the father and mother of all goodness.
Whoever knows God loves Him, and whoever knows the world will leave it behind. A believer does not engage in frivolous and futile activity except when heedless; when they become aware of their own futility, they are saddened.
🌹Reflection is the father and mother of every virtue; virtues are its children. Reflection is a tree that yields every sweet and wholesome fruit.
🌹Reflection, guided by reason, works wonders in the garden of noble virtues.
🌹Knowledge is the means to divine love; the prayer اللهم عرفنی نفسک … is a supplication for the love of God.
🔅🌼Hasan’s hadith, from Imam Hasan🌼🔅
🌷🔆 حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ إِنْ أَحْسَنَ الْحَسَنِ الْخُلُقُ الْحَسَنُ.[5]
🔆Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, said: Better than a good deed is good character.
☘️As for the first Abu al-Hasan, he was Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahim al-Tustari; the second Abu al-Hasan was Ali ibn Ahmad al-Basri al-Tammar; the third Abu al-Hasan was Ali ibn Muhammad al-Waqidi; the first Hasan was al-Hasan ibn Arafa al-Abdi; the second Hasan was al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Basri; and the third Hasan was al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him.
🔅🌼Better than Hasan’s goodness is Hasan himself🌼🔅
🌹From good character to Hasan himself: Hasan is the straight path of goodness.
🌹Without Hasan, the world has no goodness, beauty, adornment, or delight.

🔅🌼The light of Hasan within our souls🌼🔅
🌷🔆وَ قَالَ ع إِذَا لَقِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُقَبِّلْ مَوْضِعَ النُّورِ مِنْ جَبْهَتِهِ. [9]
🔆Imam Hasan (AS) said: “When one of you meets his brother, he should kiss the place of light on his forehead.”
🌹In truth, to kiss the place of light is to kiss the beauty of wilayah.
🌹On behalf of the Imam, kiss the brow of a believer.
🌹That is, a believer must be a source of divine light and shine. A believer is also one from whose soul the light of Imamate and wilayah, the light of the Qur’an, and the light of righteous deeds pour forth!
🌹When we look upon Hasan, what do we see? He himself is pure light. Which of his luminous features should be kissed—and with what lips?!
🌷🔆عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَلُومُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَ يُعَاتِبُهُ وَ يَعِظُهُ وَ يَقُولُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِثْلَ أَخِيكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ النُّورَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لِمَ أَ لَيْسَ أَبِي وَ أَبُوهُ وَاحِداً وَ أُمِّي وَ أُمُّهُ وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَ أَنْتَ ابْنِي. [10]
🔆Taher relates: Imam Sadiq (AS) would rebuke, reproach, and counsel his son Abdullah, saying, “Why are you not like your brother Musa? By God, I see light in his face.” Abdullah asked, “How so? Are his parents not the same as mine?” The Imam replied, “He is my very soul, while you are my son.”
🌷🔆فَهَذَا مَثَلٌ ضَرَبَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ، قَالَ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ يَتَقَلَّبُ فِي خَمْسَةٍ مِنَ النُّورِ، مَدْخَلُهُ نُورٌ وَ مَخْرَجُهُ نُورٌ- وَ عِلْمُهُ نُورٌ وَ كَلَامُهُ نُورٌ- وَ مَصِيرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ نُورٌ، قُلْتُ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا سَيِّدِي إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَثَلُ نُورِ الرَّبِّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لِلَّهِ مَثَلٌ- قَالَ اللَّهُ فَلا تَضْرِبُوا لِلَّهِ الْأَمْثالَ.[11]
🔆The Commander of the Faithful (AS) said: “The believer dwells among five lights: his coming is light, his departing is light, his knowledge is light, his speech is light, and his destination on the Day of Resurrection—the Garden—is light.”
🌷🔆وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (AS) قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَزْهَرُ نُورُهُ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ كَمَا تَزْهَرُ نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ يُعِينُهُ وَ يَصْنَعُ لَهُ وَ لَا يَقُولُ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَ وَ لَا يَخَافُ غَيْرَهُ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَيْنِ لَيَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَتَصَافَحَانِ فَلَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا مُقْبِلًا بِوَجْهِهِ وَ الذُّنُوبُ تَتَحَاتُّ عَنْ وُجُوهِهِمَا حَتَّى يَفْتَرِقَا [يَتَفَرَّقَا][12]
🔆Imam Sadiq (AS) said: “The believer’s light shines for the inhabitants of heaven, just as the stars of heaven shine for the inhabitants of earth…”
🌷🔆عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: قَالَ لِي يَا سُلَيْمَانُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ صَبَغَهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَنَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ أَبُوهُ النُّورُ وَ أُمُّهُ الرَّحْمَةُ فَاتَّقُوا فِرَاسَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي خُلِقَ مِنْه[13]
🔆Imam Sadiq (AS) said: “God created the believers from His light and immersed them in His mercy. On the day He made Himself known to them, He took from the believers a pledge of loyalty to us. Thus, the believer is the full brother or sister of another believer, sharing the same father and mother: his father is light, his mother is mercy, and he sees by the light from which he was created.”
🌷🔆 عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْكَابُلِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ النُّورِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْنا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ النُّورُ وَ اللَّهِ- الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ هُمْ وَ اللَّهِ نُورُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ وَ هُمْ وَ اللَّهِ نُورُ اللَّهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَنُورُ الْإِمَامِ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْوَرُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الْمُضِيئَةِ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ هُمْ وَ اللَّهِ يُنَوِّرُونَ قُلُوبَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ يَحْجُبُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نُورَهُمْ عَمَّنْ يَشَاءُ فَتُظْلِمُ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا يُحِبُّنَا عَبْدٌ وَ يَتَوَلَّانَا حَتَّى يُطَهِّرَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ وَ لَا يُطَهِّرُ اللَّهُ قَلْبَ عَبْدٍ حَتَّى يُسَلِّمَ لَنَا وَ يَكُونَ سِلْماً لَنَا فَإِذَا كَانَ سِلْماً لَنَا سَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَدِيدِ الْحِسَابِ وَ آمَنَهُ مِنْ فَزَعِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الْأَكْبَرِ.[14]
🔆Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, said to Abu Khalid:
“By God, Abu Khalid, the light of the Imam in the hearts of the believers shines more brightly than the sun in the middle of the day!
By God, the Imams, peace be upon them, illuminate the hearts of the believers,
while God veils their light from whomever He wills, leaving their hearts in darkness.
By God, Abu Khalid, no servant loves us and acknowledges our authority unless God purifies his heart;
and God does not purify a servant’s heart unless that servant submits wholly to us.
Once he has submitted to us, God will spare him a rigorous reckoning and keep him safe from the greatest terror of the Day of Resurrection…”

🔆On the day of Eid al-Fitr, Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, passed by a group of people who were busy playing and laughing. He stopped before them and said: “God has made the month of Ramadan a field of competition for His creation, so that through obedience to Him they may strive to outdo one another in seeking His pleasure. Some have gone ahead and prospered, while others have fallen behind and lost. How astonishing it is to see someone laughing and playing on this day, when the virtuous are rewarded and the frivolous suffer loss. I swear by God that if the veil were lifted, they would see the virtuous occupied with their good deeds, and the wicked with their misdeeds.” Then the Imam continued on his way.
☘️الضَّامِر من الفرس: a lean, slender horse whose thinness results from hard work, not from its natural build. In the verse, it says: وَ عَلى كُلِّ ضامِرٍ
The verb forms of this word are: ضَمَرَ ضُمُوراً و اضْطَمَرَ فهو مُضْطَمِرٌ it became lean.
ضَمَّرْتُهُ أنا: I made it lean.
مِضْمَار: a racetrack or a place where horses are trained.
ضَمِير: something embraced by the heart and mind, which they carefully preserve and keep in view.
The faculty of memory is also called ضَمِير for this reason: it preserves recollections.[16]

🔆Proclaim the pilgrimage to all people, so that they may come to you on foot or riding lean mounts, from every distant road…
☘️A ḍāmir is a swift mount, a racehorse;

🔹 On the eve of the birth of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, peace be upon him
📅 Date: 1403/12/27 – 15 Ramadan 1446
✨ Session: Meshkat-e Noor
🎤 Speaker: Master Ali Saei
📝 Some of the topics discussed in the session:
### 🌙 Peace be upon you, son of the Commander of the Faithful; peace be upon you, beloved of God
Congratulations on the birth of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, offered to the celestial beings of the world with the melodious invocation of blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
### 🔆 Hasan, the inner meaning of the Lamp of the Verse of Light
Imam Hasan is light; he is the lamp, the inner meaning of the Verse of Light. Hasan is the very Hasan upon whose goodness the heavens and the earth were founded. God has raised up the backbone of all existence through Hasan.
### 💎 A person’s worth lies in their goodness
The words of the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him: “The worth of each person is measured by what they deem good.” If we hold ḥasan in our hearts, our worth will surpass all measure.
### 🌓 From sighting the crescent to witnessing Hasan
Has anyone grasped the first glimpse of Hasan? Discovered the grandeur of the Hasani presence and witnessed its beauty and majesty?
### 💰 Hasan, God’s wealth for His creation
Where Hasan is present, poverty has no place in this world—neither material nor intellectual poverty. Hasan is divine wealth, God’s capital for His creatures.
If we follow Hasan’s fragrance, it will lead us to the nectar of the divine flower.
### 🌿 Life is beautiful only through Hasan
We do not realize it, but we live through Hasan. Without Hasan, the world has no beauty at all.
### ✨ The appearance of the Hasani presence, a prelude to the appearance of God’s Proof
When will we attain the appearance of the Hasani presence? Just as God’s final Proof is hidden from us, Hasan too is hidden in our time. Before the appearance of the Proof, we must attain the appearance of Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, within our souls and our understanding.
### 🌳 Knowledge of the Hasani presence, a bridge to knowing the Proof
We imagine that we can know the Imam of our time without knowing Imam Hasan, but that is not so. Hasan is the main trunk of the tree of prophethood. If we do not reach the root, we will never reach the branches and leaves. To forget Hasan is to forget ourselves and to forget God, for Hasan is the fairest and most exalted sign of God’s beauty.
### 🔍 Lost in ignorance
If a person loses sight of beauty and love, they have lost their mother and forfeited the sights of this world. Whoever loses knowledge is lost—turned into a grave. Those who lose their own ḥasan and do not know they possess it will wander in bewilderment, bereft of understanding.
### 💖 The path to divine love leads through Hasan
Everyone longs to experience love, but without knowledge of the realm of Hasan, they cling only to the dust of this world and find no path to divine love. The secret of this love lies along the path of God’s Proofs, and one such path is Hasan’s.
### 🌍 The Realm of Hasan Is Within Us
We each carry a world within us, a world called the realm of Hasan. Among the Greater Worlds is the World of Hasan. We must explore this inner realm of Hasan, take flight with it, soar toward God, and, through the Hasan within us, come to know God and love Him. If we do not, we will be left behind.
### 🔑 Unveiling the Secrets of Hasan: The Gateway to Knowing God
To uncover the secrets of Hasan, we must turn to the Creator of beauty and beseech Him with all our hearts to teach us who Hasan is. When we say اللهم عرفنی حجتک**, one of God’s Proofs is Hasan. He is among the roots of knowing God’s Proof. Until we reach him, we remain far from God’s secret.
We have a heart called the **Heart of Hasan**. With this heart, we must feel love, experience longing, and turn toward God. This heart is our Ka‘ba of Hasan, which we must build.
### 📖 Imam Hasan: An Interpretation of the Clear Book**
Each of the Imams is God’s Clear Book. Hasan, too, is an inner dimension of the Qur’an, a gate among the gates of the City of Knowledge. Imam Hasan is the Gate of God—that is, the place where we meet God, the station of knowing Him.
Hasan is the innate nature of our soul, our pure oneness of God. We must discover him and bring him to light. Otherwise, we will be blind to Imam Hasan, for Hasan is the Seeing Eye of God. Without him, we will have no path to God’s knowledge.
### 🕊 Experiencing the Life of Hasan: Supporting Imam Hasan
How can we be in the embrace of knowledge and yet remain ignorant? This is a great calamity! We must experience the life of Hasan and support the Hasan within us, so that he may awaken.
If we bring ourselves to Imam Hasan, we will, in truth, have supported God’s religion. Imam Hasan’s period of Imamate in this world has ended, but his authority as God’s Proof is eternal. With him, we will experience many forms of life.
### 🌟 Imam Hasan and the Secret of the Cloak: Life Beyond Time
Imam Hasan is the pearl of the People of the Cloak. Whoever is not beneath the Cloak has no existence at all.
All God’s servants who live the true life dwell beneath the shelter of this divine canopy. We need only experience it above us and within our hearts to understand the wholesome life along Hasan’s path.
### 📖 Lessons in Divine Authority and the Test of the City of Knowledge
We must learn the lessons of divine authority from beginning to end, for this world is a preparation—and an entrance exam—for the realm of reality. If we enter in truth, we will emerge in truth.
🔹 The Imams are the gates of the City of Knowledge**. If we do not know the Gate of Hasan, we will never reach the Gate of Husayn or the gates of Husayn’s descendants. This is a truth we must understand.
🔹 **A person will never be sated unless they are nourished by the Infinite. Until they draw upon the light of divine authority, they will remain thirsty, chasing after a mirage.
### 🌟 Imam Hasan’s Place in Creation and the Veil of Grandeur
🔹 God placed the Light of Muhammad (PBUH) within twelve veils**; this is a profoundly mysterious idea. It is like a seed that must be planted in the earth to blossom.
🔹 **The Light of Muhammad (PBUH) was first confined within the “Veil of Power” for twelve thousand years. It is surmised that this Veil of Power is Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS).
🔹 Then the Light of Muhammad was transferred to the “Veil of Grandeur,” where it remained for eleven thousand years. This Veil of Grandeur is the station of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (AS).
### 🌱 The Flowering of the Light of Muhammad in Creation
🔹 Allah planted the light of Muhammad (PBUH) and placed it within veils. This light remained in one veil for twelve thousand years, then in another for eleven thousand years.
🔹 After twelve thousand years, this divine planting blossomed, and the beauty of Ali (AS) was made manifest.
🔹 The veils were stages in the perfection of Muhammad’s (PBUH) light, until it was manifested in the world of existence.
These lessons show us the truth of wilayah and the place of Imam Hasan (AS) in the order of creation. To know Hasan is to know God’s light; it is to know the Gate of God.
### 🌿 Imam Hasan (AS) and the Place of Reflection in Knowing God
🔹 Why was Imam Hasan named Hasan?
Because through God’s beneficence, the heavens and the earth were raised up. Hasan is that beauty which was cleft from the divine light, from which the Tablet and the Pen were created. Yet Hasan is greater than the Tablet and the Pen!
🔹 Reflection is the mother and father of all goodness
Imam Hasan (AS) advises:
📜 “I urge you to be mindful of God and to persevere in reflection, for reflection is the mother and father of all goodness.”
✨ All beauty and goodness are children of reflection. When reflection grows in the garden of noble character, it bears the fruits of virtue.
📖 “Whoever knows God falls in love with Him; and whoever knows the world turns away from it.”
🔹 Knowledge of God is the means to divine love.
🔹 Until we know Imam Hasan (AS), how can we understand God’s love for Hasan?
—
### 💡 Imam Hasan’s (AS) Warning to the Faithful about Distraction and Heedlessness
🔹 A believer does not busy himself with frivolity. But if he becomes heedless, he may unwittingly sink into it!
🔹 When he reflects, he grieves that he had been caught up in frivolity and heedlessness.
📜 “Whoever knows God will love Him.”
🔹 Knowledge of God is the means to love, and this knowledge can be attained only through knowing the Imams (AS).
✨ Without knowing Imam Hasan (AS), attaining divine love is impossible!
### ✨ The Believer’s Light and His Place in Divine Wilayah ✨
🔹 Kissing the luminous spot on a fellow believer’s forehead
Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (AS) says:
📜 “When one of you sees his believing brother, he should kiss the luminous spot on his forehead.”
🔆 Why? Because a believer is a source of light! A fountain of light streams from his forehead. The believer’s forehead bears a mark of divine light, worthy of a kiss.
🔹 Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq (AS), addressing one of his sons, said:
📜 “Why do you not have a luminous spot like your brother?”
🔹 Light is a sign of faith. The faithful bear light on their foreheads, and the inhabitants of heaven recognize them by this very light.
📖 “The believer moves among five places of light. His entrance, his departure, his knowledge, his speech, and his return are all toward the light.”
✨ The inhabitants of heaven see the believer’s light just as the people of earth see the stars in the sky!
—
### 🌿 The Believer Was Created from Light and Mercy
🔹 Imam al-Rida (AS) says:
📜 “The Exalted Lord created the believer from His light and mingled him with mercy, then took from him the covenant of wilayah.”
🔆 So what is the conclusion?
🔹 A believing father is light.
🔹 A believing mother is mercy.
✨ A believer is one who carries divine light and mercy within, and is imbued with the love and authority of the Ahl al-Bayt.
### 🌟 The Station of the Believer, the Light of Wilayah, and the Divine Race 🌟
🔹 The believer is immersed in God’s light!
📜 “The Most High Lord created the believer from His light and mingled him with mercy, then took from him the covenant of wilayah.” (Imam al-Rida (AS))
🔆 So what is the believer’s origin?
🔹 A believing father is light.
🔹 A believing mother is mercy.
✨ The result: the believer is born of divine light and mercy, and wilayah completes this light.
🔹 Beware the believer’s insight, for he sees by God’s light!
📜 “By God, the divine light is the Imams (AS)—the very light that flows through heaven and earth!” (Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (AS))
🔹 How are the hearts of believers illumined?
📜 “O Abu Khalid! The light of Imamate in the hearts of believers is brighter than the sun shining at midday. When God veils His light, their hearts are plunged into darkness!”
✨ So to kiss the place of light on a believer’s forehead is to kiss the light of Imamate.
🔹 Ramadan is a field for the divine race! 🏇
📜 “God has made the month of Ramadan a field of competition for His servants, so that they may vie with one another in obedience to Him.” (Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (AS))
🔹 What is the outcome of this race?
✅ Some surged ahead and triumphed!
❌ Others fell short and were disgraced!
🔆 Imam Hasan (AS) says:
📜 “How astonishing—utterly astonishing! How can people be absorbed in amusement and laughter on the very day when the righteous receive their reward?!”
✨ If the veils were lifted, we would see the righteous delighting in their good deeds, while the sinners grapple with the consequences of theirs!
—
🔹 The swift steed wins the divine race! 🏇
📜 “Ramadan is a racetrack. The winning horse is the one grown lean from strenuous effort and constant movement.”
🔆 So what should we do?
📜 “تَخَفَّفُوا تَلْحَقُوا!” (Travel light, and you will catch up!) – Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (AS)
✨ Let us lighten our load and let go of the world, so that we may race ahead on the path toward nearness to God!
