ভূমিকা

Some phenomena resemble the scum on the water which finally evaporates and vanishes, while others resemble water which remains on earth and is beneficial to mankind. Phenomena of truth resemble springs of pure water that quench every generation to come. They also benefit those who lived prior to their existence. Therefore their effect transcends time.

Narratives indicate that the past Prophets of God after having been informed about what will befall the grandson of the last Prophet of God (S) cursed his killers[^2]. Hence the matter is beyond the confines of time or place. Such is the nature of an event of truth. Those events which have Divine color always remain, but those phenomena which concern other than Allah never subsist.

In the radiant Ziyara of Jami'a al-Kabira we address them as follows: وَ الْحَقُّ مَعَكُمْ وَ فِيْكُمْ وَ مِنْكُمْ وَ… And truth is with you, in you, from you and... Therefore every move they made was 'the truth' and everlasting and for all places and ages to come. The nature of truth is such that it can never perish. Therefore every move, action, and thought of truth will never perish. [^1]: 'haqq' (lit. truth) is known to be so because it 'endures'. The verb 'haqqa' means 'thabata' (to endure).
