The Prophethood Of Muhammad (Pbuh)






THIRTEENTH DROPLET

What does he want, this pride of the human race, who taking behind him all the eminent of mankind, stands on top of the world, and raising up his hand, is praying? What is this unique being, who is truly the glory of the cosmos, seeking? Listen! He is seeking eternal happiness He is asking for eternal life, and to meet with God He wants Paradise And he wants all the Sacred Divine Names, which display their beauty and decrees in the mirrors of beings Even, if it were not for reasons for the fulfilment of those countless requests, like Mercy, Grace, Wisdom, and Justice, a single of that Being's prayers would have been sufficient the construction of Paradise, the creation of which is as easy for Divine Power as the creation of the spring Yes, just as his Prophethood was the reason for the opening of this place of ex-----tion and trial, so too his worship and servitude to God was the reason of the opening of the next world

Would the perfect order observed in the universe, which has caused scholars and the intelligent to pronounce: "It is not possible for there to be anything of greater originality in existence than what exists", and would the faultless beauty of art within mercy, the incomparable beauty of Dominicality, permit the ugliness, the cruelty, the lack of order of its hearing and responding to the least significant, the least important desires and voices, and its considering unimportant the most important, the most necessary wishes, and its not hearing, understanding, and carrying them out? God forbid! A hundred thousand times, God forbid! Such a beauty would not permit such an ugliness; it would not become ugly

And so, my imaginary friend! That is enough for now, we must return For if we remain a hundred years in this age in the Arabian Peninsula, we still would only completely comprehend one hundredth of the marvels of that Being's duties and the wonders that he carried out, and we would never tire of watching him

Now, come! We shall look at the centuries, which will turn above us See how each has opened like a flower through the effulgence it has received from that Sun of Guidance! They have produced millions of enlightened fruits like Abu Hanifa, Shafi'î, Abu Bayezid Bistamî, Shah Geylanî, Shah Naqshband, Imam Ghazzalî, and Imam Rabbanî

The All-Wise Qur'an, the treasury of miracles and supreme miracle, proves the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH) together with Divine Unity so decisively that it leaves no need for further proof And we shall give its definition and indicate one or two flashes of its miraculousness which have been the cause of criticism

The All-Wise Qur'an, which makes known to us our Sustainer, is thus: it is the pre-eternal translator of the great Book of the Universe; the discloser of the treasures of the Divine Names concealed in the pages of the earth and the heavens; the key to the truths hidden beneath these lines of events; the treasury of the favours of the Most Merciful and pre-eternal addresses, which come forth from the World of the Unseen beyond the veil of this Manifest World; the sun, foundation, and plan of the spiritual world of Islam, and the map of the worlds of the hereafter; the distinct expounder, lucid exposition, articulate proof, and clear translator of the Divine Essence, attributes, and deeds; the instructor, true wisdom, guide, and leader of the world of humanity; it is both a book of wisdom and law, and a book of prayer and worship, and a book of command and summons, and a book of invocation and Divine knowledge - it is book for all spiritual needs; and it is a sacred library offering books appropriate to the ways of all the saints and veracious, the purified and the scholars, whose ways and paths are all different

Consider the flashes of miraculousness in its repetitions, which are imagined to be a fault: since the Qur'an is both a book of invocation, and a book of prayer, and a book of summons, the repetition in it is desirable, indeed, it is essential and most eloquent It is not as the faulty imagine For the mark of invocation is illumination through repetition The mark of prayer, is strengthening through repetition The mark of command and summons is confirmation through repetition Moreover, everyone is not capable of always reading the whole Qur'an, but mostly is able to read one Sura Therefore, since the most important purposes of the Qur'an are included in most of the longer Suras, each is like a small Qur'an That is to say, so that no one should be deprived, certain of its purposes like Divine Unity, the resurrection of the dead, and the story of Moses, have been repeated Also, like bodily needs, spiritual needs also are various Man is need of some of them each breath; like the body needs air, the spirit needs the word Hu {He) Some he is in need of each hour, like "In the Name of God" And so on That means the repetition of verses arises from the repetition of need And it makes the repetition in order to point out the need and awaken and incite it, and to arouse desire and appetite

Also, the Qur'an is a founder It is the basis of the Clear Religion, and the foundation of the world of Islam It changed human social life, and is the answer to the repeated questions of its various classes Repetition is necessary for a founder in order to establish things Repetition is necessary to corroborate them Confirmation, repetition, and repeating are necessary to strengthen them

Also, it speaks of such mighty matters and minute truths that numerous repetitions are necessary in different forms in order to establish them in the hearts of everyone Nevertheless, they are apparently repetitions, but in meaning each verse has numerous meanings, numerous benefits, and many aspects and levels In each place they are mentioned for a different meaning, benefit, and purpose

Also, the Qur'an's being unspecific and concise in certain matters to do with cosmos is a flash of miraculousness for the purpose of guidance It cannot be the cause of criticism and is not a fault, like some atheists imagine

If you ask: "Why does the All-Wise Qur'an not speak of beings in the same way as philosophy and science? It leaves some matters in brief form and some it speaks of in a simple and superficial way that is easy for the general view, does not wound general feelings, and does not weary or tax the minds of ordinary people Why is this?"

By way of answer we say: Philosophy has strayed from the path of truth, that's why Also, of course you have understood from past Words and what they teach that the All-Wise Qur'an speaks of the universe in order to make known the Divine Essence, attributes, and Names That is, it explains the meanings of the Book of the Universe to make known its Creator That means it looks at beings, not for themselves, but for their Creator Also, it addresses everyone While philosophy and science look at beings for themselves, and address in particular scientists In which case, since the All-Wise Qur'an makes beings evidences and proofs, the evidence has to be superficial so that it will be quickly understood in the general view And since the Qur'an of Guidance addresses all classes of men, the ordinary people, which form the most numerous class, want guidance which is concise with unnecessary things beings vague, and which brings subtle things close with comparisons, and which does not change things which in their superficial view are obvious into an unnecessary or even harmful form, lest it causes them to fall into error

For example, it says about the sun: "The sun is a revolving lamp or lantern" Because it does not speak of the sun for itself and its nature, but because it is a sort of spring of an order and centre of a system, and order and system are mirrors of the Maker's skill It says:

The sun runs its course6

that is, the sun revolves Through calling to mind the well-ordered disposals of Divine power in the revolutions of winter and summer, and day and night with the phrase, The sun revolves, it makes understood the Maker's tremendousness Thus, whatever the reality of this revolving, it does not affect the order, which is woven and observed, and which is the purpose It also says,

And set the sun as a lamp7

Through depicting through the word lamp the world in the form of a palace, and that the things within it are decorations, necessities, and provisions prepared for man and living beings, and that the sun also is a subjugated candleholder, it makes known the mercy and bestowal of the Creator Now look and see what this foolish and prattling philosophy says:

"The sun is a vast burning liquid mass It causes the planets which have been flung off from it to revolve around it its mass is such and such It is this, it is that" It gives to spirit no perfection of knowledge apart from a terrible dread and fearful wonder It does not speak of it as the Qur'an does You may understand from this the value of the matters of philosophy, whose inside is hollow and outside, ostentatious So do not be deceived by its glittering exterior and be disrespectful towards the most miraculous expositions of the Qur'an!
