And so long as we in this narrow and dark world...

And so long as we in this narrow and dark world, in this dark nature, are shackled with the chains of time, jailed in the dark extended place..., we are unable to realize the great boons that belong to Allah Almighty, and we cannot imagine the divine blessings that lie in this sincerity, adoration and guidance.

Beware of thinking that we do a favor to the great Prophets of Allah, or to His honored friends, or to the nation's scholars who are the guides to our happiness and salvation, who have saved us from ignorance, darkness and torment, who invited us to the world of celestial light, happiness, elation and greatness.

They bear the burdens of hardship and exhaustion whHe educating us so we may be saved from the darkness that lies in false beliefs and compounded ignorance and from the pressures and suffering that arc the manifestations of a lowly conduct, from the engulfing fearful images of the ugly deeds, and so we may instead earn the celestial lights, the norms of happiness and elation, the pleasures of the soul, the feeling of restfulness, the huris with large lovely eyes, and the mansions that we cannot possibly imagine.

Our world of this domain, as greatly spacious as it is, cannot bear one single outfit of those of Paradise. These eyes of ours cannot bear to see a single hair of the huris with their large lovely eyes. Yet the angelic picture of beliefs and deeds has been realized, through divine inspiration, by the great prophets, especially by the one who had the total revelation, the inclusive constitution, namely the seal of prophets (a.s).

The prophets saw it, heard it, and called us towards it whHe we, poor souls, arc like children who do the opposite of what the wise rule. Rather, humans even call these prophets wrong, argue with them and always do the opposite of what they enjoin.

Yet those pure and contented personalities, the good and pure souls, due to their compassion and mercy towards the servants of AIM, did not fall short in calling upon the ignorant one, pulling them in the direction of Paradise and happiness through any means of power and wealth, without asking them for any reward at all. The only reward asked by the Messenger of Allah (a.s) was that we be kind to his near in kin.

Perhaps the picture of this kindness in the world of the hereafter may manifest itself in the limn of the most glittering light for us. This reward is for our own good, too, so it may get us to reach happiness and mercy.
