Ta Surato Paywand e Jahan Bood Ali Bood, Persian Qasida, Shams Tabrizi HD

Ta Surato Paywand e Jahan Bood Ali Bood, Persian Qasida of Shams Tabrizi (r.a). The Qasida Gist – By Karim Maherali The Holy Quran (4:174) states: “O mankind! Verily there hath come to you a Convincing Proof (Hujja) from your Lord: For we have sent unto you a Manifest Light (Nurun Mubeen).” According to the Shia interpretation, the Hujja is the Imam of the time. Nasr Khusraw in his Kalame Pir translated into English by Ivanow, elaborates on the concept of Hujjah: “The Imam is the Hujja or Proof of God, and it is for this reason that some Imams have said, “What is said about God refers to us.” This Qasida penned by Shams-i Tabriz the man who transformed Mowlana Rumi from a learned religious teacher into the world’s greatest poet of mystical love, illuminates this notion of the Hujja having the qualities of God. It highlights that Ali was there before creation of space and time. He was the legatee (wasi) of the Prophet and was present with all Prophets assisting them in their mission. He is present as a life giving soul in every aspect and part of creation and the knower of the secrets of the apparent (zahir) and the hidden (batin).
