Sūrah of the Ark
And it is seven firm,
granderous and manifest verses!
In the Name of God the Most
Beneficent, the Most Beneficent!
O you who have noeticized, fulfill the covenants!
Permitted to you is the taking of the wealth of the super-affluent in its
entirety and its redistribution among the people with equity! Truly, God does
whatsoever It wills and ordains whatsoever It desires, for It is God Who is ever
powerful over all things! (1) And indeed, We have sent down upon Our
servant, the Camphorated, this Book from Our Presence in Truth! And We have
made its verses firm, granderous and manifestational! None knows its esoteric interpretation
except He, and those among Our sincere, purified servants whom We will! So ask
the Mirror its esoteric interpretation - and the interpretation of the Bayān
from before and after - for indeed, by Our Bounty, He has ever been
All-Knowing, All-Wise! (2) O concourse of the Lights, hearken unto My
call from that Tree of Life in the Valley of NUR: Verily, I am
God, there is no other god but He! I have named this Mirror by the two Names of
My own Fruit! Indeed, I named Him in the Throne of His Glory ‘Wahīd’ and
upon the Footstool of His Laudation ‘Azal’ such that that the possessors
of the kernels may bear witness at the dawning-place of the Manifestation the Secret
of the Depths from the Presence of One Tremendous, Beloved, Who there is no other
god but I, for indeed, God has ever been Singular over all things! (3) O
denizens of the Cloud of Unknowing, listen to My call from the tongue of that
Mirror - this theosophied Iranian sage – speaking at the axial Point of Sināʾī in the melody of the Primal Point: ‘God, there is
no other god but I! I have caused You to emerge from the Point of the realm of the Ipseity, from within the pure
Fāṭimīyyic Blaze-Flux, unto this Day - the Day of the Final Point - as a
Manifestation’! (4) Say: God has manifested Me from within a clan from
amongst the clans of the Letter of the Living and the Name of God, ‘the Splendor’
(al-Bahāʾ), the Pure (al-Ṭāhira), Fāṭima
- upon Whom be the Light of lights - so that none may doubt My Cause in Truth
upon the Most Mighty Truth; for verily, God has ever been the Ordaining
Director over all realities! (5) O concourse of the Lights! Listen to My
call from the Point of Air in this ocean of spatial vastness upon the blue letter
hāʾ (ه) over the white letter wāw (و), in that verily, I
am God, there is no god but He! Indeed, I ascended with the All-Merciful upon
the Throne settling within the Secret of the Lover from the Beloved in the Ark
of Love, for the sake of the Most Great Remembrance from the Most Mighty Mirror!
And verily, the angels and the Spirit have descended upon Me on the Day of
Gathering, for the sake of the Covenant in Truth upon the Mirror as the
Remembrance, Truly, Truly! (6) O Thou Love-Giver from the Presence of
Love with the Beloved! Thou art not like any amongst all creation! Magnify the Bounty
of the Most Mighty Mirror! If thou followest My command - the Truth in the Most
Mighty Truth - then make Me known by the Supreme Reality through the Most Primordial
Word for the sake of Thy Essential-Being! And raise Me with the Sun alongside the
Ultimate Reality - God, the All-High - for the Dawn of Pre-Eternity shall
suffice Thee, this being from the Presence of the High, One Praiseworthy! (7)
سُورَةُ السَّفِينَةِ
وَهِيَ سَبْعُ آيَاتٍ مُحْكَمَاتٍ عَزِّيَّةٍ ظُهُورِيَّةٍ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَجْوَدِ الْأَجْوَدِ
يَا
أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ عَرَفُوا أَوْفُوا بِالْعُهُودِ، أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ أَخْذُ
أَمْوَالِ الْمُتْرَفِينَ كَافَّةً، وَتَقْسِيمُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْقِسْطِ،
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيَحْكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ، وَهُوَ اللَّهُ قَدْ
كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا ١
وَإِنَّا نَحْنُ قَدْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا الْكَافُورِيَّ هَٰذَا
الْكِتَابَ مِنْ عِندِنَا بِالْحَقِّ، وَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا الْآيَاتِ فِيهِ
مُحْكَمَاتٍ عَزِيَّاتٍ ظُهُورِيَّاتٍ، وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ
وَمَنْ شِئْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِينَ، فَاسْأَلُوا الْمِرْآةَ
تَأْوِيلَهُ وَتَأْوِيلَ الْبَيَانِ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ
كَانَ بِفَضْلِنَا عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا ٢
يَا مَلَأَ الْأَنْوَارِ، فَاسْتَمِعُوا نِدَائِي مِن تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةِ
الْحَيَاةِ فِي وَادِي النُّورِ بِإِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلٰهَ
إِلَّا هُوَ، قَدْ سَمَّيْتُ هٰذِهِ الْمِرْآةَ فِي الِاسْمَيْنِ مِنْ ثَمَرَتِي،
لَقَدْ سَمَّيْتُ فِي الْعَرْشِ مَجْدَهُ وَحِيد وَعَلَى الْكُرْسِيِّ ثَنَاءَهُ
أَزَل حَتَّىٰ يَشْهَدَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ فِي مَطْلَعِ الظُّهُورِ سِرَّ
الْبُطُونِ مِنْ لَدُنْ عَزِيزٍ مَحْبُوبٍ الَّذِي لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا،
وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَريدًا ٣ يَا أَهْلَ الْعَمَاءِ، فَاسْتَمِعُوا نِدَائِي
مِنْ لِسَانِ تِلْكَ الْمِرْآةِ، هٰذَا الشَّيْخِ الْمُتَأَلِّهِ الْإِيرَانِيِّ،
النَّاطِقِ فِي نُقْطَةِ السِّينَاءِ، عَلَىٰ لَحْنِ نُقْطَةِ الْأُولَىٰ: اللَّهُ
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا قَدْ أَطْلَعْتُكَ مِنْ نُقْطَةِ الْهَاهُوتِ فِي
الْفُؤَادِ الطَّاهِرَةِ الْفَاطِمِيَّةِ إِلَىٰ هٰذَا الْيَوْمِ، يَوْمِ نُقْطَةِ
الْأُخْرَىٰ، ظُهُورًا ٤
قُل: اللَّهُ قَدْ أَظْهَرَنِي فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ طَوَائِفِ حَرْفِ الحَيِّ وَإِسْمِ
اللَّهِ الْبَهَاءِ، الطَّاهِرَةِ الْفَاطِمَةِ، عَلَيْهَا نُورُ الْأَنْوَارِ،
حَتَّىٰ لَا يَشُكَّ أَحَدٌ فِي أَمْرِي الْحَقِّ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْأَعْظَمِ،
وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ كَانَ عَلَى الْحَقَائِقِ مُدِيرًا ٥ يَا مَلَأَ
الْأَنْوَارِ، فَاسْتَمِعُوا نِدَائِي مِنْ نُقْطَةِ الْهَوَاءِ فِي هٰذَا
الْمُحِيطِ الْفَضَاءِ، حَرْفِ الْهَاءِ الزَّرْقَاءِ عَلَىٰ حَرْفِ الْوَاوِ
الْبَيْضَاءِ، بِإِنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، قَدْ عَرَجْتُ
بِالرَّحْمَٰنِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَىٰ، فِي سِرِّ الْحَبِيبِ مِنَ
الْمَحْبُوبِ، بِسَفِينَةِ الْحُبِّ لِلذِّكْرِ الْأَكْبَرِ، مِنْ مِرْآةِ
الْأَعْظَمِ، وَهٰذَا لَقَدْ تَنَزَّلَ عَلَيَّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِي
يَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ لِلْعَهْدِ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْمِرْآةِ كَالذِّكْرِ حقًّا حقًّا
٦ يَا
أَيُّهَا الْحَابِبُ مِنْ لَدُنِ الْحُبِّ عِنْدَ الْمَحْبُوبِ، مَا أَنْتَ
كَأَحَدٍ مِنْ كُلِّ الْخَلْقِ، أَعْظِمْ بِفَضْلِ الْمِرْآةِ الْأَعْظَمِ، إِنِ
اتَّبَعْتَ أَمْرِي الْحَقَّ بِالْحَقِّ الْأَعْظَمِ، أَعْرِفْنِي بِحَقِّ
الْأَعْظَمِ مِنَ الْكَلِمَةِ الْأَقْدَمِ لِكَيْنُونَتِكَ، وَارْفَعْنِي
بِالشَّمْسِ مَعَ الْحَقِيقَةِ، اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ، وَيَكْفِيكَ صُبْحُ الْأَزَلِ
هٰذَا مِنْ لَدُنِ الْعَلِيِّ حَمِيدًا ٧
