Some of the topics covered in the session:

Fatima, the sovereign of joy and happiness 🌸

The sovereign of nobility, the sovereign of the ocean of Prophethood and Imamate,
Fatima, Fatima, the pearl in the shell of Hasan and Husayn,
Fatima, the beloved mother of the world’s orphans,
Fatima, the mother of the oppressed and the broken-hearted,
Fatima, the clear chalice of divine unity,
Fatima, the sovereign of water and bread, light and serenity,
The freshness of love—Fatima, this luminous and joyous secret.
Who is Fatima?
O God, who is Fatima, whose joy is Your joy and whose anger is Your anger?
Fatima is the mighty gateway to joy and happiness, delight and beauty.
Fatima is she whose sorrow is the sorrow of all existence;
at her grief, all creation sits in mourning; at her smile, all creation smiles.
At her slightest smile, Paradise reveals itself.
Love wells up from mothers’ hearts.
The joy of Fatima—whose happiness is the happiness of the City of Knowledge—
brings joy to the city of joy and delight.
It is Fatima whose joy is the joy of the City of Knowledge.
With Fatima’s happiness, knowledge smiles.
Knowledge blossoms and its fruits ripen.
Inventions and innovations rain down from heaven to earth.

This is Fatima herself, the Lady of Joys.
This Lady of Joys is she whose happiness brings joy and delight to God, the Giver of joy.
What an extraordinary lady Fatima is!
Who can interpret God’s joy and understand that Fatima is the greatest sign of God’s joy?
What a remarkable saying: Fatima is the greatest sign of God’s joy.

Fatima’s joy, the key to heavenly happiness 🌟

If Fatima is happy,
this Fatima is the very key of joy, turned by God through Fatima
to fill the world and all who dwell in it with joy and delight.
When God is pleased, joy becomes abiding and enduring.
Who would dare claim to know the delight of joy?
Who can say, “I have captured delight,” when they have not—or, “I have caught pleasure,” when they have not?
Joy, delight, and pleasure move with such transcendent swiftness that no one has ever been able to capture them.
They pass by and strike,
revealing their joy and beauty for an instant before vanishing.

And now we wish to become hunters of this joy, delight, and pleasure.
Until we know Fatima,
until we come under her blessed guardianship,
until we have Fatima’s approval,
we will not attain the station of capturing joy and pleasure.

How can we be connected to her?
How can we know this greatest sign of joy and happiness?
Indeed, the stature of joy and pleasure reaches only as far as Fatima’s horizon …
Yes, both pleasure and joy have a destination and an interpretation to which we must attain.

The Messenger of God says…

Fatima, the key to divine joy 🌹

Indeed, God rejoices in your joy and is angered by your anger.
To understand the full depth of divine approval and anger, we must grasp this: Fatima is the Mother of the Believers.
If the believers are angered with a believer, God is angered on that believer’s account.
And if a believer is happy, God rejoices in that believer’s happiness.

So what happens when the Mother of the Believers is angered?
If the Mother of the Believers, the Lady of the women of the world and of Paradise, rejoices, how does God rejoice?
What mighty events will unfold in the world when Fatima is joyful?

How can we know Fatima?
Fatima, Mother of the Names, is the key to joy—and God’s joy is God’s will.
When God wills, He names His will “joy,” and the world fills with delight.
Within each of His acts of will lies a fresh and wondrous new intention.
Now let us ask ourselves: where do we stand within this vast spectrum of joy and pleasure?
Do we see the light, or do we sense only a trace of it?
What happens when God’s absolute will prevails within our souls?

Fatima’s joy transforms everyone 🌸

How does God bring things into being with Fatima’s joy?
What happens when the world turns its gaze to the smile of the soul of the world, to the smile of Lady Fatima?
When Fatima smiles, buds bloom and hearts overflow with love.
When Fatima weeps, joy departs from the world.
Who could laugh wholeheartedly now that she has passed away? Who can laugh when he cannot,
because Fatima has wept and lamented?

What is all this apparent joy in the world? It is all a mirage.
With Fatima’s grief, joy departed.
Hearts have grown constricted, and wolves have howled.
At Fatima’s lament, ignorance laughed and mocked humankind.

Why, despite all its apparent scientific progress, is humanity immersed in the narrowest depths of ignorance?
What has humanity done through its injustice to Fatima and Ali?

Joy, God’s Most Beautiful Names, and the Wilayah of Fatima 🌟

Joy is one of God’s Most Beautiful Names; it is remembrance of God.
Who has ever invoked God by the name of joy?
Who has come to know the greatest remembrance of joy?
Only through the greatest remembrance—through Fatima and her Household—can we attain this joy.

How does Fatima find joy?
She rejoices in Ali’s Ghadir; she rejoices in Wilayah.
She rejoices in Ali’s gaze; without it, joy is barred.

Why, with all its resources, is humanity still deprived of joy?
Why, in its search for spiritual joy, does humanity still turn to lifeless food and water?
Human joy has frozen.

Human ingratitude and injustice toward Fatima 🌙

How was Fatima the springtime of existence?
How did Fatima make spring blossom anew?
Without Fatima, there is no spiritual joy.
How was Fatima treated with ingratitude?
How greatly humanity wronged itself!
It committed the gravest injustice by wronging Fatima and Ali.

Joy and the Wilayah of Fatima: the secret of humanity’s salvation 🌸

Why did humanity bring about its own destruction with its own hands?
What wretchedness, what ignorance! Humanity seeks to defeat the supreme word of divine unity.
How can we escape this state of affairs?
Whoever brings joy to the Queen of Joy, God will make joyful in this world.
Fatima’s joy is attainable only by entering her world.
Through her Wilayah, Fatima recognises her Shia and brings them into her world of majesty and light.

Bringing joy to Fatima is bringing joy to God 💖

O Abu Waqqas!
Have you heard the Messenger of God say:
«Fatima is a part of me. Whoever brings her joy brings me joy, and whoever grieves her grieves me.
Fatima is among God’s finest servants in my sight.»

It is very easy to bring Fatima joy: we need only hold fast to the Qur’an and the Household.
We need only be honourable, modest, and chaste to bring Fatima joy, and God will send joy down upon the world.

Injustice toward Fatima and the greatness of the Mushaf of Fatima 🌟

Even if God permits all the prophets and the angels nearest to Him to intercede for someone who has wronged Fatima,
God will never bring that person out of the Fire.

What is the measure of Fatima’s greatness?
We remain immersed in the mystery of Fatima.
We are still pondering the mystery of the Mushaf of Fatima.
How can we comprehend this immense mystery?
The Mushaf of Fatima contains all the secrets of existence; within it are recorded all the knowledge and teachings of the heavenly scriptures.

The Qur’an and the Mushaf of Fatima: divine technologies 📖

If the Qur’an is “an explanation of all things,” what, then, is its relationship to the Muṣḥaf of Fāṭima?
The Qur’an is God’s unique technology, beyond comparison with any other technology.
The Muṣḥaf of Fāṭima, too, is a special technology of God’s, related to the Qur’an, yet distinct from it.
The Qur’an belongs to the most wondrous domains of God. It is a technology beyond creation, and the God who brought it into being is a Creator without equal.

If creation means bringing something into being, then we should understand that creation is only one of God’s technologies.
God’s technologies lie beyond human perception and comprehension. Yet the Muṣḥaf of Fāṭima, held especially in the blessed hands of our master, Bāqiyat Allāh, has another depth and meaning.
All human technologies are present in this noble Muṣḥaf.

The Muṣḥaf of Fāṭima: A genealogy of the prophets and God’s appointed successors 🌳

The Muṣḥaf of Fāṭima not only contains the sciences of the Qur’an; it is also a genealogy of the prophets and God’s appointed successors.
This mighty book contains details about every ruler and the figures of history.
It has come from beyond time and place and is, in a sense, the record of identity of all realities of existence.
The Muṣḥaf of Fāṭima remains in the blessed hands of our master, the Great Bāqiyat Allāh, and its grandeur is still veiled in mystery from much of humankind.

The supreme Muṣḥaf and the software of creation 📜

This Muṣḥaf is the highest sign of the Imamate, the software of creation, and the comprehensive book of existence. The descriptions given by Ṣādiq, of the family of Muḥammad, fill two volumes. After relating all these descriptions, the Imam said, “I have said very little.” His Eminence explains: “What I have told you is only from the first page of this scroll.” Then he says that he has told you nothing of the second page, let alone its two volumes. Such is the blessedness of his scroll—and he himself is more blessed still.

A student of the school of Her Eminence Fāṭima 🌸

Our Imam of the Age is a student of the school of his mother, Fāṭima. Let us recognise the limits of our understanding: we have not yet reached material light. The greatest speed at which we can discern is constrained by the secrets of this limited speed. Unless we step beyond it, we will remain prisoners of these limitations. We do not know that light, too, has a vehicle. It can be brought to its destination in an instant, just as sound is converted into light and sent at a higher speed. Could light not work this way?

Connecting to the software of creation 🌍

How can we connect to this software and instantly attain what we seek? Why not enter the garden and orchard of the Lady of Divine Unity? What use have we made of Fāṭima? We have done no more than speak of her and then fall asleep. What have we gained from the maturity of Fāṭima’s children? We have honoured Fāṭima, yet remain heedless of the Two Weighty Things: both the Prophet’s Household and the Qur’an—the Qur’an that is Fāṭima’s greatest crown.

Connecting with our limbs and the universe 🧠

How am I connected to my own limbs and faculties? I should have been connected to Fāṭima and her descendants far more strongly, but I did not know them. Just as I engage my sight and hearing—that is, use these faculties to gain knowledge and access its interpretations—what might have been possible if I had been connected to this mighty apparatus of God? God has given human beings the ability to connect with the entire universe and bring it into their service.

Disability and harnessing the universe 🌌

By God’s command, both night and day, and the stars, are made subject to us. Yet we are disabled: disabled in our sight. I am disabled with respect to the Two Weighty Things. I am intellectually disabled. I am disabled with respect to ʿAlawī, Ḥasanī, Ḥusaynī, Sajjādī, Bāqirī, Kāẓimī, Riḍawī, Jawādī, Hādawī, ʿAskarī, and Mahdawī teachings.

An invitation to the Abode of Peace and the straight path 🌟

If God created the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, in truth, why do people not benefit from them? God invites us to the Abode of Peace, to His straight path. So why do we not answer the call? Why do we not follow the Two Weighty Things? Why have we not entered the house of peace? Why are we not on the straight path? If we were, God has given us the means to reach the Two Weighty Things. But I am disabled. I am disabled with respect to the Two Weighty Things. I do not know Fāṭima.

The different versions of Fāṭima ✨

Which version of Fatima do we know? One version of her was the embodiment of womanhood, bestowing honour upon all the women of the world. But which version is it? Which versions of Fatima do we know, that we might enter her world? As God’s examiner, who had passed every test before creation, which Fatima do we belong to? This Fatima is the subtle nerve of divine unity. Had I been joined to her with all my being, I would have touched divine unity.

The Death of Servanthood and the Death of Divine Unity 🕊

The death of servanthood is the death of divine unity. It is death in the sense of jurisprudence, death in the sense of reason, and death in the sense of the two weighty things. I wish to enter the celestial garden of Fadak and let myself be steeped, if only a little, in the fragrance and purity of the luminous words of divine unity. In her noble sermon, Fatima al-Zahra arrived at this subtle insight.

The Creation of Existence and God’s Invention 🌌

God created things through His own invention, not from anything that existed before them. He brought things into being through sheer originality. If we say that God originated existence, then, had it not been new, it would not have existed at all. Before existence, there was no being that could come into existence; it was He who brought being into being. God has no likeness or affinity with His act.

Knowledge and the Limits of Human Understanding 🔬

Modern science is lame when it comes to this. If we cannot describe it, what are we to do? If the Big Bang was the beginning, He brought that beginning about—and all physicists acknowledge that this cannot happen within time.

Before and After Creation 🌌

What was there before us? What was it? Before time, there was no time. We must find another way of speaking about what came before and after. They say it is a manifestation of God’s manifestations. They say—God forbid—that this manifestation emanated from Him. In other words, when the sun shines, its light is not separate from the sun. It is the sun itself. These wretched people compare God to the sun, then try to describe God’s creation by means of that comparison. The sun’s parts are what issue from its essence. The more that comes out of the sun, the less of it remains. They understand nothing, yet they lead the people of the world into the poisonous miasma of associating partners with God.

Beyond Time and Space ⏳

Just as God cannot be called time, He cannot be called existence. He is beyond time and space. How are we to grasp this self-evident truth? Just as God cannot be called existence or existent, since He is the Creator of all that exists, so too is He the Creator of all times. He brought the existence of all that exists into being. He caused existence to exist. Did He create time within time? No: He is outside time. He created time itself. Must He be within existence in order to create existence? He brought this existence into being anew. Existence is God’s new creation, God’s originality, God’s freshness; God is not one with His creation. If we cannot conceive of anything beyond existence, that is the fault of our own ignorance: we try to describe God in terms of this existence because we know no better.

Divine Unity and the Reality of God 🕋

We understand God as having degrees, and divide Him into these degrees. Yet God is One, the Self-Sufficient; He neither begets nor is begotten. If we say that God exists, it is so that we do not become confined to a particular definition of Him, for we know nothing higher and must express ourselves in this way. Just as we cannot say that everything is contained within time, we cannot place every reality within existence. Whenever we apply an attribute to God, we must say, «الله اکبر». That is, God, You are greater than every attribute; You transcend all description. God is transcendent; He brought time into being from nothing. The Creator is greater than what He has created.

Creation Without the Need for a Model 🌟

Let us cry out, so that the deaf may hear. God created things without the need for a model. God’s act of bringing things into being does not turn on the hinge of any model. God’s creations are things with no hinges, no shoes, no pivots; there is no pattern for their creation. God created things without needing a template. In creating them, He followed no designer or plan. God does not fashion a mould; He wills, and it comes to pass.

Divine Will and Creation 💡

The existence of things does not hinge on any archetype. Their creation has no source outside God. Creation belongs to God’s will, and that will is the primordial form of the things in His knowledge. He brought things into being by His power alone and brought them into the cosmos. The existence of things ultimately derives from divine decree and is bound up with God’s power. The bringing of things into being is an act of origination. This description rejects any role for another in creation. Creation has a distinct reality that derives from God’s will; by extension, the coming-to-be of things may be associated with His will. This is a rank higher than existence: it is the origination of things, preceded by their being known. And God is exalted above all of this.
