🔅🌹 “Muhammad (peace be upon him), a System Beyond Wonders”  “Sultan of Higher Dimensions”  “Muhammadan Mysteries” “The Need for Muhammadan Literacy”  “28 Safar” and more … An abstract with addendum       1403.06.11    Ali Saei (Abdullah Meshkat) 110.141(903)  🌹🔅

🔅🌼An overview and map of the discussion: “The Vast System of Love and Worship”🌼🔅

🌼The Noble Messenger is a truth ever alive throughout history. Muhammad is the great mystery of creation, the greatest and most wondrous of God’s creatures.

🌼Who besides Ali, peace be upon him, can claim to have known Muhammad? The reality of the Prophet was unveiled within Ali, peace be upon him.

🌼The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the key to blessings and knowledge. Knowledge means everything: light, joy, and beauty reside within it, and the Prophet is the City of Knowledge.

🌼To understand the reality of Muhammad in this age, we need to enlist the full power of the universe.

🌼If we understand the secret of the key to blessing, the gateway to reality will open before us. To know the Prophet is, as it were, to gain access to all truths. Once equipped with this vast source of knowledge and wisdom, we can claim to have reached the end of our journey of servitude.

🌼The Final Proof is the last spark of Muhammadan light, and it will shine in this world. Until we attain true vision, we will remain deprived of that spark.

🌼We are in the entrance-exam class for servitude. Have we learned the lesson of divine oneness? Have we learned the lesson of prophethood? Have we reached the class on the Final Proof? Knowing Muhammad is a sign that we have attained divine oneness, while knowing the Final Proof shows that we have graduated from the class of prophethood. So let us treasure every moment of this End Time.

🌼For many years, the Prophet continued to learn, veiled by different veils.

🌼The Prophet was sent for all people in every age—not merely for his own time—and was commissioned not only for humanity but for all creation.

🌼The Prophet has been commissioned both in the outer world and within the inner world of human beings. Everyone has formed an image of him according to their degree of understanding and learning, and has acquired knowledge accordingly.

🌼The heavens rise higher as their knowledge of the Prophet increases.

🌼The clouds know the Prophet as ʿAbd al-Salām, the wind as ʿAbd al-ʿAlī, lightning as ʿAbd al-Munʿim, thunder as ʿAbd al-Wakīl, stone as ʿAbd al-Jalīl, earth as ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, birds as ʿAbd al-Qādir, and fish as ʿAbd al-Muhaymin.

🌼If we call upon him in servitude through all the Divine Names, we will have attained knowledge of the Prophet.

🌼The Prophet had not left Medina, so how did he convey his message to the East and the West? (A reference to a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq.) Had he opened up the spiritual dimension of the earth? Did the noble Gabriel function like a computer? To communicate with creation and speak with them, the noble Gabriel was a computer beyond time.

🌼Every angel is a special computer of God.

🌼The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, made hardware use of the noble Gabriel to deliver his message.

🌼When we think, all our limbs and faculties are affected. The Noble Messenger is the Absolute Intellect, and in this way he was connected to all existence.

🌼How does a tree communicate through its different parts? The Prophet’s communication surpasses all of this.

🌼If we were to sum up the Prophet’s greatness in a single point, it would be this: all things are encompassed within his being.

🌼If we wish to understand the boundary between faith and certainty, it is like the boundary between making a connection and bringing something into operation.

🌼 When I am set on the path to truth with the Prophet Muhammad, I have attained certainty.

🌼 The Prophet is within me, but I have imprisoned him.

🌼 All knowledge has been planted in the heart of every one of us, but it has not been brought to life.

🌼 Having become so enslaved to the stomach, if I nourish myself again and bring myself to life, I will see that this hardware has equipped me with knowledge and wisdom.

🌼 The Prophet of God is the sovereign who awakens us.

🌼 I must awaken from the intoxication of sin so that I can connect with the sovereign of intellect.

🌼 The Messenger of God says of his son Hasan, peace be upon him: “This is my son, and I love him. So, O God, love Hasan, and love those who love Hasan.”

🌼 عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِلْحَسَنِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُ‏ فَأَحِبَّهُ‏ وَ أَحِبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّه‏[1]

🌼 Imam Hasan, peace be upon him, says: “Whoever worships God, God will bring all things to worship him”—that is, make them obedient to him.

🌼 وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ مَنْ عَبَدَ اللَّهَ عَبَّدَ اللَّهُ‏ لَهُ‏ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ء[2]

🌼 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[3]

🌼 The first and last secret: whoever knows God comes to love God; whoever knows the world turns away from it.

🌼 Whoever knows the Imam of their time and obeys him will attain the grace of knowing God.

🔅🌼 An End-Times Perspective on the Blessed Messenger, the Key to Blessing🌼🔅

🌹We are meant to blossom, to break open, for our seed to split, for the heart’s innermost core and hidden secrets to be revealed, for the inner self to emerge. Then the sum and product of our souls will become clear, and a new countenance will take shape. In this momentous passage, the greatest source of knowledge and wisdom, transformation and transcendence, will be our supreme instrument.

🌹When the final Proof appears, the last gateway of the prophetic mission and prophethood will be revealed. The earth will be lit by the light of God’s Proof; people will see what could not be seen. That divine radiance will work wonders in hearts and eyes. It will bring the hidden to light.

🌻🔆 Al-Zumar: 69   وَ أَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّها وَ وُضِعَ الْكِتابُ وَ جي‏ءَ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ قُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ هُمْ لا يُظْلَمُونَ

🔆 And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord; the record of deeds will be laid open; the prophets and witnesses will be brought forth; judgment will be passed between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.

🌹A higher, end-times perspective is essential in the age of the End Times. We must draw on our full vision to understand, making use of our final capacity.

🌹In these last few seconds, let us devote our final capacity to seeking knowledge. The highest rank will become clear.

🌹The End-Times entrance exam is under way; everyone is taking part, and no one is exempt.

🌹Begin with divine unity, with “اللهم عرفنی نفسک”. God is the teacher of divine unity, as well as of the knowledge of prophethood and imamate, the study of these sacred books, and all that exists in this world.

🌹Make the most of every moment.

🔅🌼 The Key to History and Beyond History🌼🔅

🌹The Prophet of Islam is a key beyond time and history, bound by no limits and confined neither to particular people nor to a particular age. Rather, he embraces every time and place, every human being and every creature. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the key beyond time and history.

🌹The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has been sent forth within the heart of every single creature. He is both the outward Messenger and the inward Messenger. He has been sent forth within us in every time and place.

🌹 Everyone knows the Prophet Muhammad according to their capacity, ability and level of understanding; on the screen of their soul, each bears a particular image, imprint and vision of him.

🌹 Every creature and every realm knows him by a name—that is, each has its own degree of knowledge of him.

🌹 God Most High nourishes us from the city of His knowledge and wisdom.

🌹 The Prophet’s treasury holds all that every creature needs; this treasury is in the world and within our souls.

🌷🔆قَالَ لِيَ الصَّادِقُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَانَ عَامّاً لِلنَّاسِ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ:

وَ ما أَرْسَلْناكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِلنَّاسِ‏ لِأَهْلِ الشَّرْقِ وَ الْغَرْبِ وَ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ هَلْ بَلَّغَ رِسَالَتَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ كُلِّهِمْ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي، قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ بُكَيْرٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَيْفَ أَبْلَغَ أَهْلَ الشَّرْقِ وَ الْغَرْبِ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي، قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَ جَبْرَئِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَاقْتَلَعَ الْأَرْضَ بِرِيشَةٍ مِنْ جَنَاحِهِ وَ نَصَبَهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ، فَكَانَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَ رَاحَةٍ فِي كَفِّهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الشَّرْقِ وَ الْغَرْبِ، وَ يُخَاطِبُ كُلَّ قَوْمٍ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ، وَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِلَى نُبُوَّتِهِ بِنَفْسِهِ، فَمَا بَقِيَتْ قَرْيَةٌ وَ لَا مَدِينَةٌ إِلَّا وَ دَعَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِنَفْسِهِ.^[5]

🌷🔆It is narrated from Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) by Hafs al-Kinani: “I heard Abdullah ibn Bakr al-Arjani say: Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) asked me, ‘Tell me: The Messenger of God (peace be upon him), who was sent to all people—did God not say in the clear verses of His Book: وَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَاکَ إِلَّا کَافَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ»? This means all those who dwell in the East and the West, and all who are in the heavens and on earth, jinn and humankind alike. Was the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) able to convey his message and mission to all of them?’ I replied, ‘I do not know.’ The Imam said, ‘O son of Bakr! The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) never left Medina, so how could he have conveyed it to the people of the East and the West?’ I replied, ‘I do not know.’ He said, ‘God commanded Gabriel (peace be upon him), and Gabriel lifted the earth from its very foundations with one of his wings and placed it before the Messenger of God. The earth, before the Messenger of God (peace be upon him), was like the palm of his hand in relation to his arm. The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) looked upon the inhabitants of the East and the West, addressing each people in their own language and calling them to God Almighty and to his prophethood. In this way, the Prophet (peace be upon him), by himself, was able to call all the inhabitants of settlements and cities to God Almighty and to his prophethood.’”

🔅🌼 An Angelic Computer 🌼🔅

🌹 The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) made use of the noble Gabriel as a means of conveying his message.  Gabriel (peace be upon him) served as a computer: a computer transcending time and space. The Messenger made use of him as a medium for transmitting his voice.

🌹 Which dimension of the earth did the noble Gabriel hold in the palm of his hand? In which dimension were we present at that moment—and are we present now?!

🌹 Each of the angels is a particular kind of computer in the hands of God’s friends, as are the angels who serve as memory.

🌹 The Messenger of God’s (peace be upon him) connection with people throughout the world, in every place and time, was—and is—stronger and more precise than a person’s connection with their own limbs and organs.

🔅🌼 The Sovereign Beyond Dimensions 🌼🔅

🌹 We are connected in this age with the Messenger who transcends time; within our limited dimension, we are connected with the Sovereign beyond dimensions.

🌹 When we reflect on ourselves or focus on any one of our limbs, we feel no distance.

🌹 When we wish to send a message to any of our limbs, there is no obstacle or delay.

🌹 How is a tree’s root connected to its parts? How does the tree connect with its branches, leaves, and fruit, and convey the materials they need? The Messenger of God’s (peace be upon him) bond and connection with creation is stronger still.

🌷🔆سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) يَقُولُ: أَنَا الشَّجَرَةُ، وَ فَاطِمَةُ فَرْعُهَا، وَ عَلِيٌّ لِقَاحُهَا، وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ثَمَرُهَا.

وَ زَادَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَرَقُهَا، الشَّجَرَةُ أَصْلُهَا فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ، وَ الْفَرْعُ وَ الْوَرِقُ وَ الثَّمَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ.[6]

🌷🔆The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: “I am that tree, Fatima is its branch, Ali its pollen [the means of its fertilisation], Hasan and Husayn its fruit, and our followers its leaves. The root of this tree is in the highest Garden, and its other parts are in the other gardens of Paradise.”

🔅🌼 The wondrous system 🌼🔅

🌹 Muhammad, peace be upon him, is a wondrous system, connected to the very substance, treasures and limbs of earth and heaven.

🌹 Everyone speaks of the possibility of moving along the line and dimension of time, while the Creator of time has carried Muhammad, peace be upon him, across the lines of time and made time travel possible aboard a vessel beyond time.

🌹 Muhammad, peace be upon him, is God’s agent in the created world, responsible for it from beginning to end—for the earth and heavens, their governance, care and operation.

🌹 Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the wondrous system of time and space; he is the very essence beyond time and space.

🔅🌼 The vastest network in existence 🌼🔅

🌹 The Most High has granted Muhammad such dominion that all creatures are readily within his reach.

🌹 If we can form some idea of beyond-time, we will understand the ease and breadth of his connection with, and authority over, all things.

🌹 Higher dimensions encompass lower ones.

🌹 All time and all space are as pliable as wax in the hands of the Prophet.

🌹 By the power of God Almighty, Muhammad encompasses the entire domain of his mission.

🌹 The relationship between the Imam and the Messenger of God is like that between a gate and a city.

🌹 If every thing is encompassed in the Imam’s heart, then the cosmos is encompassed by the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, to a far greater degree.

🌹 The knowledge of every thing is in the Imam’s heart; this is what it means for him to be the gate of knowledge. Now imagine how the City of Knowledge encompasses every thing.

🌹 The Imams, peace be upon them, are like a book in the Muhammadan library, and like a star in the Muhammadan heavens.

🔅🌼 Meet the Prophet within yourself 🌼🔅

🌹 All 124,000 prophets and the heavenly books are present within every person; they can be perceived and read. But how much desire, longing and appetite do we have for them?!

🔅🌼 A silent world 🌼🔅

🌹 All creatures are equipped with the software and hardware of the prophets and the heavenly books;

🌹 The line between faith and certainty is the line between being connected to a prophet and being brought to life through him.

🌹 Without the Prophet, we are like a silent world; with him, the world is illuminated. Have we forgotten our lessons? Do we know the Noble Prophet, or are we indifferent to him? Surely, we are not observing the basic principles needed to recover that knowledge.

🌹 We did not come from the Realm of Pre-Existence into this world having learned only to eat and sleep. Even an infant is a knower: without anyone teaching them in this world, they know many things. Knowledge is not limited to these.

🌹 How can we open ourselves? How can we bring into our awareness our presence beyond time and beyond space?!

🌹 Our connection with what lies beyond time and space is continuous, for we are in constant communion with our Beloved, and this connection is never severed, even for a moment.

🌹 We know the Messenger of God and the Book of God completely.

🌹 The child within us must once again be nourished by the life and world of knowledge and wisdom, and brought to life anew through them.

🔅🌼 The Prophet, awakener of souls 🌼🔅

🌹 Where have we fallen asleep? In what dimension of space and time have we fallen asleep?

🌹 In every dimension in which we sleep, we are confined within its bounds. In what state are we asleep, and in what state awake?! Through the Prophet, we must attain absolute wakefulness in every dimension of our being.

🌹 We need only awaken. The layers of sleep and heedlessness determine the degree and intensity of a person’s confinement and constraint.

🌹 “ مُوتُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتُوا” is a call to wakefulness,

🌹 to put an end to limitation. Death is sleep, and life is wakefulness.

🌹 If the boundlessness should reveal itself!!! Reality would be fully manifest.
🌹 Let us awaken from the sleep of sin. Enough of these sinful dreams! Emerging from the intoxication of sin is the ground for absolute wakefulness.

🔅🌼Intellectual Pleasure and the Pleasure of Ignorance🌼🔅

🌹 Have we accepted the Messenger’s invitation and answered his call? Let us examine our commitment to divine unity and our servitude to God!

🌹 The highest form of servanthood is attained only through the blessed Prophet! Let us be with him as he is with our Lord; let us equip ourselves with Muhammad, and thereby attain the highest degrees of servitude to God!

🌹 Let us remove the world’s malignant tumour from our hearts; we need surgery, and the medicine of Muhammad.

🌷🔆قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَمَثَلِ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ يَنْظُرُ مَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ‏ A final parable about the world and its people: their preoccupation with the world’s delights, their heedlessness of the Hereafter, and the great regret this brings اعْلَمْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الدُّنْيَا فِي غَفْلَتِهِمْ كَسَكْرَانَ الْتَذَّ بِشُرْبِهِ وَ خَاصَمَ مَنْ بِحَضْرَتِهِ عَلَى أَمْرٍ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ مِنْ سُكْرِهِ نَدِمَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْإِنْسَانُ فِي الدُّنْيَا سَكْرَانُ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُ الْمَوْتُ نَدِمَ عَلَى مَا فَرَّطَ مِنْهُ‏[7]

🌷🔆The Messenger of God (PBUH) said: “Compared with the Hereafter, this world is like the sea: one of you dips a finger into it—then see how much of the sea’s water he brings away!” Another parable of the world and its people, concerning their preoccupation with worldly blessings, their heedlessness of the Hereafter, and the great regrets they incur on account of the world: Know that the people of this world, in their heedlessness, are like a drunkard who takes pleasure in his drinking and quarrels with those around him, but when he comes to his senses, regrets what he has done. So too, a person is intoxicated in this world; when death comes, he regrets what he has done, just as the Prophet (PBUH) said: “People are asleep; when they die, they awaken.”

🌹Only a fool takes pleasure in foolishness. Worldly intoxication means abandoning reason, embracing ignorance, and welcoming folly.

🌹What joy there is in pleasure under the sovereignty of reason.

🌷🔆His saying (PBUH):  النَّاسُ نِيَامٌ فَإِذَا مَاتُوا انْتَبَهُوا[8]

🔆People are asleep; when they die, they awaken.

🔅🌼The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Messenger of the Dimensions🌼🔅

🌹What would become of the world if there were no light? Let us attend to the many dimensions of the soul and the world, and to the light that illuminates each one.

🌹Without light, nothing would have colour, radiance, greenery, scenery, or feeling .

🌹Prophethood, in its true sense, is a treasury of divine knowledge; light dwells within the heart of knowledge. A prophet is the complete light that illuminates every dimension of the cup of the soul and of the world.

🌹Without a prophet, we would be blind to knowledge, despite being surrounded by it. Without a prophet, we would be in absolute ignorance, despite being immersed in knowledge.

🌹 What is higher than knowledge, higher than light?  The light can be known only through what is higher than light.  To know knowledge, one needs a knowledge beyond knowledge.  The One beyond knowledge will make us know.

🌹 Let us wholeheartedly seek «عرفنی نبیک» and not forget the first way! اللهم عرفنی نفسک!

🌹 To read the Prophet—that is, to become literate in the Prophet’s teaching, to learn its contents, and to read this great divine Book in its entirety and understand it.
