“A Holy Eulogy”An Interpretive Rhymed English Refraction1Of Dua’2 Nudba3

! y Shaykh Ali Abu-Talib Son Of AbdunNu "

We Seek Refuge With Allah From The Satan The Stoned.Harbor Us Lord For By You We Are Owned

Oh Allah, Bless Muhammad’s SoulAnd Rain Down Peace On His Household

For Your Light Shines Brightest Near Muhammad’s Vast SoulAnd Its Meaning Refracts Clearly Through His Household’s Chaste Role.

Oh Son Of Hasan, Muhammad’s 12th Son In Sequence,

Our poor souls need to stand where your auspiciousness frequents.

Only the promise of your return enables my spirit’s transcendence.

Oh how I long to bask in your halo’s immaculate resplendence.

1“A Holy Eulogy,” is not an verbatim translation of Dua’ Nudba. A word for word rendering of the Quran,and high Arabic poetry from Arabic to English can’t represent the beauty and deep meaning of The

original. The etymological roots of the two languages are most often very different. For instance; theArabic word “Niyah” is usually translated as “Intention.” But another connotation of the word means to

become “very determined.” The multitiered levels of meaning, eloquently indicative of fine Arabic literatureis virtually impossible to communicate in a simple word for word English translation. However, The basic

meaning of of these classical Arabic texts are universal. So the challenge is to pen an explanatory,religiously artistic rendering refracting The Original’s Light without conceptual distortion.

Thus “A Holy Eulogy” is my humble attempt to refract the luminous essence of this important and famous

supplication in rhyme and verse. I intend to capture as much meaning of the eloquent, universallyrelevant meaning of Dua’ Nudba’ as I can, employing artistry, wed with devout scholarship. I’ve takenevery effort not to sacrifice the meaning of the Arabic original in the use of poetic license. However the

use of poetic license to produce a poetic rendering was and always is unavoidable, rhymed or not. Iendeavored to use poetic license as a tool to explain the fine points of meaning implied in the original. Ialso included a few tangent points that are coherent to the theme and contemporarily relevant to native

English speakers.

The Praise Belongs To The Creator of The Motivation And Energy That Creative Souls Use To CapitalizeOn God Given Inspiration. And whatever blame is due to my lack of infallible talent, I beg your indulgence.

Please forgive any unintended error. ! pray you find this work of faith and love educational, inspirational,motivational, and that you use it to pray to God in The English Language in The Mumin Tradition. Please

send a loud Salawat for the poor soul who undertook this task, whenever you read this work. InShaAllah.

2 Usually the Arabic word “dua’” is translated to mean prayer, or “supplication.” In this case it is more of aneulogy than a prayer for one thing or the other. This Prayerful Eulogy orbits around the primordial issue ofKhalifah (Successorship), And Imammah (Leadership), which is essential to The Islamic Faith.

3The Arabic word “nudba” litterally translates to “eulogy,” lamentation,” “dirge,” “or a mourning song”Friday... The Day of Jummah... is an Eid Day... a weekly Muslim Holiday. Friday is closely associated withThe Hidden Living Imam Of The Time (A). His birth fell on Jummah. His reappearance is predicted to

coincide with Jummah. His Ziyarat is recited on Jummah, and Dua’ Nudba is traditionally recited onJummah after congregational PreDawn (Fajr) Salat. Cemeteries are traditionally visited on Jummah.

I pray Salawat4 on all of Our Prophet’s innocent descendants,

And long for my Hidden Master’s long awaited ascendence.

And The Praise Is To Allah, Lord Of The Nations.5

May Truth’s Light Brighten All Blessed Mumin6 Stations

With The Halo of Muhammad And His Household’s Salutations.

Oh Allah Bless Muhammad’s Soul And Rain Down Peace On His Household.

And We Give You The Praise, Oh Creator, As Your Faithful Creations,

Oh Ever Present Merciful Lord Of The Nations.

We Pay Homage To You For The Path You Decreed

For Your Self, For Your Pure Friends,7 And Your Soul Saving Creed.

You’ve Blessed Them With What’s Best... What Will Forever Endure...What Will Never Disappear or Lessen In Utility And Grandeur

After You Decreed God Consciousness On Them, Certain And Clear,

And They Agreed That This Life Is Inferior, Holding The Ultimate Life Dear.

And They Took On This Decree And All It Entails,

And Rejected The Illusions Of These Timed Earthly Jails.

And You Knew They’d Be True To What They Agreed.

So You Let Them Come Close (In Thought, Word, And Deed)8...

Allowing Them To Reflect On Your Most Sublime Presence

Ever Turning Towards You With The Whole Of Their Essence...

The Soul’s Revolution Of Consciousness, Conscience, And Behavior...

Ever Turning Towards, And Praising The Loved Lord, God, And Savior.9

4 Salawat = I see it as a rain of light, peace, and other blessings on one’s soul. I believe Salawatintensifies one’s Aura (Nur). In the case of a Nur (Halo) which is already perfect, the benefit reflect backon the one who wishes it on the perfect soul.

5 Alalameen = The Worlds, The Nations, The Universe... The root of the word, (‘Ilm’) means “Knowledge.”.

6 Mumin, Believer, Faithful Muslim Who’s inseparably connected to The Waliyah of Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib

7 (God’s) “Purified Friends” = “Auliya” = sometimes translated as “Saints”

8 Since this work is meant to be read with the proper feeling, any reciter must recognize and treat allexplanatory parenthetical phrases and sentences, as part of the text to maintain the intended flow. They

are merely devices I use to maintain the rhyme and rhythm of the piece, while adding what would befootnoted information... thus the use of the term “refraction.”

9 The Arabic word thana’ is so rich, an multitiered, I felt compelled to embellish on the theme.


3/18

And Your Angels Channeled The Light That Shone Forth From Them

Presenting Inspiration And Knowledge You Generously Honed For Them.

And You Made Their Light The Medium For Men And Jinn To Transcend

Towards Your Presence With Angels... Pleasing You Without End.

Then You Lodged Some In Your Garden ‘Till You Decreed They Depart.

And You Saved Another And His People Lodging Them In Your Ark.

And You Then Chose Another For Your Confidant And Friend,

Who Prayed To Be Remembered By His Spiritual Kin.

So You Made All Generations Religiously Commend

His Legacy As A Thikr10 (For Faithful Women and Men).

And You Spoke To One From A Tree Which You (Miraculously) Voiced Through,And Made His Brother An Aid In The Affair (So Pharaoh Could Not

Misconstrue).11

And Another Was Begotten, Without A (Biological) Father12

(Proof That Your Will Comes To Pass Without Any Bother).

And You Gave Him The Power To Explain And Expound,

Helped By The Archangel, The Holy Ghost, You Sent Down

Along With Your Code Of Law (Clear Signs of Your Justice),

And A Path He Traversed (To Spread Justice Amongst Us).

And You Chose His Successors Steeped In Deep Adoration...

Scriptural Guardian After Guardian For Each Dispensation

To Establish Deyn13 With Truth’s Proofs In Nation After Nation,

So Right Minds Can Fight Wrong With Truth’s Rationality,

Maintaining Truth’s Station As Obvious Actuality.

Thus, None Can Complain That If You’d Sent Them A Warning,

They’d Have Followed Sincerely LIke Day Follows Dawning...

If Sent Them A Guide Guarding A Scripture (That God’s Grace Did Adorn),

3

10 Thikr = The Word translates to “remembrance.” It’s come to mean speaking or chanting words,phrases, and Quranic Verses that turns a soul towards God’s Ever Presence and dramatically reflects on

Him. It is said that the best thikr is The Quran in which The Legacy of The Great Patriarch Of FaithfulMuslims, Our Holy Father Ibrahim, Abraham The Khaleel (Confidant - Friend) of God is forever enshrined.

11 Aaron, Mose’s Brother Spoke Eloquently While Moses Allegedly Had A Speech Impediment (S).

12 Jesus Son Of Mary (A)

13 deyn = Religion


4/18

Before Wrong’s Shame And Hell’s Pain Made Them Damned And Forlorn.

Then You Ended (Their Era14) With The (Existential) Command15

Given To Muhammad, Your Most Cherished, Best Blessed Beloved Man.


As You Intended, He Is (The Peak of Positive Human Proclivity)

The Master Of Your Creation (And The Masterpiece Of Your Creativity),

The Purest Of Your Select... The Favorite Of Those Whom You Rose,

And The Noblest, Most Generous Of Those You Trusted (Then Chose).

He Was The Last Of Your Prophets, Though His Essence Preceded Them.

And You Preferred Him Over Them, For Their Halos Succeeded Him.16

And You Dispatched Him To Your Most Cognitive (Troublesome) Slaves

(To Winnow The Good Jinn And Men From The Evil Villainous Knaves).

And He Lowered17 East And West (Your Orient And Occident),

And Rode A Winged Steed On His Wonder Filled Night Assent),

And He Warped (Space, And Time) With His Master’s Omnipotent Consent18

Where You Taught Him What Was, And What Will Be... Event After Event

To The End Of Your Creation... Then Helped Him With The Fear

(That’s A Ward Against Foes And What Makes Wisdom Draw Near 19).

Then You Surrounded Him (Against All Evil Actualities)

With Gabriel And Michael (The Chief Celestial Principalities),

4

14 The Prophetic Era... Muhammad was the Final Prophet... there will be no others

15 The Existential Command Is KUN = BE. Allah Says To A Thing Be And It Becomes.

16 I embellished these two verses because the phrase “Qadmtahu” is so dense with meaning. TheProphet Muhammad’s Nur Was The First Created Thing In The Universe. The Arabic word Nur translatesto “Light.” From that Light (or primordial halo), all else was generated, as in “Let There Be Light. See

Hayatul Qulub Book 2 Chapter entitled Creation Of Effulgence.

17 Auta’hu = “He lowered”... I take this to mean that as he ascended, the heavens bowed to meet God’sFinal Prophet. That phrase also reminds me of the quantum physics theory of folding space and time.

This was the way I read it. God knows best, and he certainly bestowed the meaning on The Holy House.

18 Buraq was the proper name of the winged steed Prophet rode on his Night Journey from Mecca toMedina, and then trans-dimensionally warped to heaven and hell. He then was beckoned further until

Muhammad reached the closest any creature could come to... THE VERY THRONE OF GOD.

19 It was this fear that kept many statue worshipers at bay, and it was a higher fear that brought many asoul to submit to The Truth by and by. “The First Step To Wisdom Is Fear Of The Lord...” (Proverbs 9:10).


5/18

And Angels Whose Deeds Made Their Mark (As Archangel Commonalities).

And Even Though Truth Hiders Would Hate (These Predestined Eventualities),

You Assured Him That It Was Already Fated... That You Primordially Designated

That All Other Religions Were Primordially Fated To Be Numerically Dominated

By His Religion Which Was, At The Time, Very Unpopular And Nearly Eliminated).

You Did This After You Settled Him In A Position That Was Honest And Elevated

(And With Your Aid, The Doubts Of Some In His Clan Gradually Abated

And Their Spiritual Respect For Him Meteorically Escalated).

And You Made For Him And Them A Premier House Void Of All Vanity

Established For (The The Purpose of Guiding The Humanity)

(A House Destined To Rise Souls Above Man’s Hubristic Insanity)

Linked Up With (God’s First House Of Worship And Laudable Urbanity)20

The Place Where Abraham Stood To Pray Is In it.And To This Day Everyone Is Assured Sanctuary WithIn it.

And You Stated (To Your Final Messenger And His Closest Kin)

That You Wanted To Keep From Them All Impurities (And Sin).

So That The Members Of That Household Remained Immaculate

Without And Within.

Then You Decreed That The Remuneration

We Owe Muhammad (For Being The Incarnation

Of God’s Mercy And Guidance To All Of The Nations)

Was As You Said In Your Book, “Say I Ask Of You No Pay

Except Love For My Closest Kin, (The Very One’s They Did Betray).”


And In The Book It Is Written That You, Lord, Did Say,

“What Ever Reward I Asked You To Pay

Is For Your Soul’s Good Now, And On The Deyn’s Day.”

And It Is Also Written That You Lord Did Say,

“Those Whose Will Is Bent Towards His Lord’s Straight Way,

Are The Only Exceptions From Whom I Ask Pay.”

5

20 Bekkah, the most ancient name of Mecca. Some say it is name of the other worldly precinct housingthe other worldly Kabba.


6/18

(In Other Words, Those Whom God Sues To Fork Over The Prophet His Pay...

That Pay Being Love For His Kin Who Embody The Favored Straight Way...

Are Compelled To Love Them Just So The Ever Present Lover Will Pay

The Lover’s Of God’s Lovers A Spiritually Sweet God Sent Bouquet...

Which Is Everlasting Love For The Truth And Truth Lovers (Who Hear And Obey)

So (Without One Shadow Of A Doubt)

Prophet’s House And Those Who Believe In Their God Ordained Clout

Became (The Standout Most Devout) Rout

To You And Your Pleasure, Oh Allah, Which Is Religiously What Faith’s All About.

Then Alas, When The End of His Days Came To Pass

Prophet Appointed A Deputy To Continue The Muhammadan Task...

(That Deputy Was) Ali Son Of Abu Talib... Your Knowing Glowing Flow

Be Upon Them And Their Household (From All Sides, Above, And Below).

Ali Is The Guide (To Know And Flow Towards The Ultimate Goal).

Just As Prophet Is The Warner God Sent To Humanity’s Soul,

Ali Son Of Abu Talib Has A Similar Role.

(Allah Sent) Ali As A Guide To Every Nation, And Tribe.

So Prophet Told The People What Allah Did Prescribe,

As The People Stood There Before Him

Alert And Rapt As If They Adored Him.

Then With Ali’s Hand Raised High,

Prophet Raised His Voice To The Sky

And Said:

“All Those Who Takes Me As Their Superior

“(Know That) Their Rank Next To Ali, Is Equally Inferior.

“Oh Allah, Befriend Whomever Befriends Him

“And Oppose Whomever Opposes Him.

“And Support Whomever Supports Him

“And Desert Whomever Deserts Him.”

And (Another Time) Prophet Said,

“All Those I Am A Prophet To,

“Know That Ali Is The Amir21 Of All Of You”

6

21 Amir = A military rank... Commander or Prince


7/18

And He Also Said,

“I And Ali Are From One And The Same Tree,

“And All Else Are From Different Trees Than Ali And Me.”

And God Assigned To Ali That Rank That Aaron Had To Musa’,

Then Prophet Reminded Ali That His Rank Was Like Aaron’s Was To Musa’

Except That It Is God’s Will... That Will That Hold’s Archangels In Awe...

That There Will Be No More Prophets Sent... It‘s God’s Will And God’s Law.

And He Wed His Daughter, The Mistress Of Universal Femininity

To Ali (The Epitome, After Prophet, Of Universal Masculinity).

Ali Was Permitted The Same Freedom As The Prophet Within The Masjid

(Due To His Obvious Paternal Consanguinity)22

And His Affinity For God’s Ever Present Divinity.

While All Other Doors With Private Access To That Very Same VicinityWere Sealed By Order of The Owner Of Inconceivable Infinity.

And Prophet Entrusted Ali With His Knowledge,

And The Blessing To Know That He Knew,23

Then Prophet Defined Himself As Truth’s College24

And That Ali Was The Entrance To All It Held True.

So Whoever Would Enter The City Of Knowledge

Must Pass Through The Gate (On Ma’sumeen25 Avenue).

Then He Said,

“You Are My Brother, And You’re My Trustee,

“And You’re He Who’ll Inherit (My Mantle) From Me

“You Are From Me... From My Flesh, Blood, And Core,26

7

22 Consanguinity = Ancestral Relagionship

23 Prophet Muhammad Entrusted Ali, The Spirit Leader (Imam) Of The Pious God Conscious People, With

His Knowledge And Wisdom. “He Who Knows And Knows That He Knows Is Wise, Follow Him.” A sayingalleged to have been uttered by Gung Futz’oo (Confucius).

24 Prophet Said I Am The City Of Knowledge And Ali Is It’s Bab (Gate, Door, Portal).

25 Ma’sumeen = Those who are innocent, chaste, and (or) sinless, which is one of the attributes of Ali Ibn

Abu Talib. Oh Allah Bless Muhammad’s Soul And Rain Down Peace On His Household. For Your LightShines Brightest Near Muhammad’s Vast Soul And Its Meaning Refract Clearly Through His Household’s

Chaste Role. Surely Allah’s Greatness Defies All Attempts At Description, And To Attempt So Can MeritJust Foul, Foolish Fiction.

26 “Prophet Said Your Flesh Is My Flesh And You Blood Is My Blood.”


8/18

“And Your Peace, Is My Peace, And Your War Is My War,

“And True Faith Is Mixed With Your Flesh And Your Blood,

“Just As True Faith Is Mixed With My Flesh And My Blood.

“And You’ll Be My Khaleefah27 (When I’m Sent To AlKauthar28)

“And You’ll Fulfill My Debts, And My Oaths (When I Come To That Reservoir).

“And Your Shia’ Will Ring Round Me (Glowing With Truth)...

“On Pulpits Of Light... Heaven’s Best Brilliant Youth...

“And They’ll Be My Neighbors (In God’s Blessings And Ruth).

“(God’s Reward For) Your Shia (True Companions Of Sooth29).

“Oh Ali!, Without You, The Believers Could Never Be Known.”

“For You’re The Guide After Me (To What God Does And Doesen’t Condone).

Ali’s The Way The Wayward Must Find Or Be Forever Lost-Prone.(He’s) Light For The Blind, God‘s (Flexible) Rope (Yet Stronger Than Stone).

The Flesh And Blood Of Ali Is God’s Messenger’s Own.

And In Matters Of Religion, Ali Stands Alone.

He’s The Incarnated... Embodied... Favored Straight Path

(Leading To God’s Grace And Away From His Wrath).

He Is Ever Peerless In Consciousness, Conscience, And Behavior,

Because He’s Closest To God’s Messenger, Creations’ Great Savior.

Oh Allah Bless Both Of Their Souls, And Rain Down Peace on Their Household.

Furthermore, Ali’s Fights Were Based On Quran’s Right Interpretation.

No Fault Finder’s Condemnation Could Dampen His Determination

To Strive For God’s Way In Any Confrontation

To Establish Or Defend Right’s Practical Application.

He Wreaked Terrible Calamity On The Arabs In Each Man To Man Altercation.

He Lethally Charged Into Their Skilled, Strong Willed30 Horde Without Hesitation.

8

27 Khaleefah or Caliph = Successor

28 AlKauthar is the heavenly body of water provided for the most blessed to drink from in The Garden ofParadise. It is also the nickname of Fatimah The Daughter of Prophet Muhammad.

29 “Sooth” is an archaic Old English word of Germanic origin meaning “truth.”

30 I’ve interpreted the word “thuban” which translates into “like a pack of wolves”, as “strong willed horde,”

as Ali bested their best in single combat and scattered their wolf like pack with his famous ferociouscharges.


9/18

So, Hatred Still Filled Their Hearts (After Their Alleged Penitent Capitulation).

Still Smarting From Badr, Khaybar, Hunayn,31 (Each Lost Deadly Altercation),

They Hated Islam’s Best Champion (While Claiming Fealty To The Nation).

So While (Harboring Hatred And Envy, But Practicing Deceitful Dissimulation),

They Joined Him, Then Turned On Him, For They Resented His Domination.

Ultimately He Had To Fight And Kill The Worse Of That Despicable Congregation,

Traitors Who Turned Their Backs To The Truth, Their Pledge, And The Islamic

Nation.

Then The Opportunists Who Joined Him Against This Insubordination

Broke His Heart With A Mutinous, Insolent, Dim Witted, Confrontation.

And They Killed Him (In Prostration A Despicable, Cowardly Assassination),

Done Ultimately By The Most Wicked Wretched Person Of That Generation,

Who Followed The Most Wicked Wretched Line Of His Forefather’s Generation...(An Execution Without Any Islamic Justification

Performed On The Legendary Most Saintly Hero Of The New Islamic Nation).

Oh Allah Bless Muhammad’s Soul, And Rain Down Peace On His Household.

(Just As God’s Messenger, Repeatedly Foretold, The Holy Household)

Birthed Guide After Guide, (Rightful Heirs To Prophet’s God Ordained Role).32

Their National Contemporaries, However, Hated (Their Ma’sumeen33 Mold),

And Cut Relations With Prophet’s House (While His Most Deadly Foes Rose),

Opportunistically Detaching Themselves From His Family’s Vicious Cruel Woes.

(These Enemies Wrongly Deceived The Folks’ Spiritual Sight)

Except Those Loyal To The Household’s God Ordained Right

Who Stood With The House Against The Wrong Doer’s Might.

And Some Joined Them In Waging An Archangel-like Fight.

Some Were (Arrested, Tortured And) Murdered Outright.

Some Were Captured, (And Enslaved... A Worst Than Death Plight ),

And Some Were Exiled (To Keep The Path Their Faith Paved From Their Fooled

People’s Sight).

9

31 Badr, Khaybar, And Hunayn Are Battle Sites Where Ali’s Prowess Saved Was Conspicuously AngelicAgainst The Forces Of Truth Hatred, And Statue Worship.

32 There will be no more prophets after Muhammad (S). Their role was to guide, propagate, and explain

via the God Ordained Divine Guidance that was endowed exclusively and specifically to The Premiers ofProphet Muhammad’s Household (S).

33 See note 19


10/18

This Was Their Fate... Allah’s Inescapable Decree.

So That God’s Best Reward Would Be Theirs Everlastingly.

Behold! The Earth Is Allah’s. Whoever Wills May Inherit It.

But In The End The God Conscious Are The One’s Who Will Merit It.

And Glorious Is Our Lord! (Who Knows All That Is Willed).

Certainly Our Lord’s Promises Are Always Fulfilled.

He Breaks Not His Promise, He’s Almighty, The Wise.

So The Apex Of What Human Beings Can Humanly Realize

Dawned On Muhammad And The Chaste Of His Error Free Household.


So Weepers Should Cry, And Lamenters Should Wail,

And For Their Like Tears Should Flow Freely Without Fail.

And The Protestors Should Raise A Clamorous NoiseAnd Mourners Should Mourn Without Pretense Of Poise.

Crying Out...

What Happened To Hasan? What Happened To Husain?

What Happened To The Sons Of Imam Husain...

What Happened To The Path34 After The Path Finders (Were Eradicated)?

What Happened To Us Once Our Betters Were Eliminated?

What Happened To The Sunrises That Warmed And Illuminated?

What Happened To The Full Moons That Brighten The Night?

What Happened To The Stars That Guide Lost Souls Aright?

What Happened To The The Deyn’s Experts And The Fountains Of Knowledge?

What Happened To God’s Agents (The Elite Of Faith’s College),

Who Kept Step With The Blood Line Of God’s Guidance Divine?

So Where Is He Who’ll Root Out The Cohorts Of Wrong’s Evil Line?

Where Is The Awaited Who’ll Straighten The Liars’ Twisted Design?Where Is The Hope Who’ll Erase Hopelessness And Arrogant Aggression?

Where Is The Renewer Of The Duties And Traditions Lost Through Repression?

Where Is The One Chosen To Restore (Islam’s) National Laws?

Where Is The One Chosen To Enliven The Book (It’s Rules And Just Cause)?

10

34 Imam Ali Is Considered The Path


11/18

Where Is The One Who’ll Enliven The Knowledge Of The Religion And It’s

(Ideological Abode).

Where Is The Bone Breaker Of Those Who Wrong The Faith’s People, And

Theological Code).

Where Is The One Who’ll Pull Down The Mafias Of Idol Worship And Hypocrisy?

Where Is The Destroyer Of The Sin-Shelters Harboring Delinquent (Theocracy).

Where Is He Who’ll Prune The Branches Of Misguidance, and Disunity.

Where Is The Eraser Of Egocentric Arbitrariness Within The Mumin Community.

Where Is The Resolute Agent Who’ll Execute Vengeance On The Jackboot

Brutes (Who Defamed) The Prophet, And (Murdered) His Children (To

Reinstitute Their Truth Hating Root)?

11

35 Unlike The Leftist and Rightist Secular Politicos, I assert that Islamic Revolution is synonymous with a

continual, humble, movement which exhorts The Faithful, The People of The Book, and Mankind ingeneral to Humble, Glorious God Consciousness, and sincere acts of contrite repentance, predicated by

sincere acts of Faith in Allah, His Final Messenger, and The Walayah Of Ali Ibni Abi Talib.

36 “The Victory Comes When God’s Help (Intervenes).” Quran 110:1 Entitled Suratun-Nasr, “The Help”1. I Swear By The Era / The Time / Afternoon. 2. Surely The Humans Lose (God’s Positive Boon).

3. Except Those Who Believe, And Do Righteous Deeds; And (With Vigilant) MuminTruthfully AndPatiently Collectively Commune. Quran 103:1-3 Entitled Al Asr (The Era/The Time/Afternoon)

37 Yin and Yang = In This Case Righteousness and Pleasure

Where Is The Avenger Of Karbala’s Saints Who Were Unjustly Attacked Until

They Violently Died?38

Where Is He Who Defeats The Villain, And Each Slandering Defamer Who

Viciously Lied?

Where Is The Needy One Whom God Answers When He Prays?

Where Is The Premier Of God’s Creatures, Possessor Of Reverence And God

Conscious Ways.

What Happened To The Son Of The Chosen Prophet Known As AlMustafa,

What Happened To The Son Of Ali The Contented (Imam) Known As AlMurta’da,

What Happened To The Son Of Lady Khadijah The Most Brilliant Soul Known As

AlGharar,

What Happened To The Son Of Lady Fatimah, The Feminine Great Spirit Known

As AlKubra?

May My Father And My Mother Be (The Ransom For) You.And May My Very Soul Be A Protection To Shield Evil From You,

Oh Son Of The Chiefs, The Nearest In Proximity (To God’s Throne),

Oh Son Of The Nobly Bred, Most Generous Who Ranks High And Alone,

Oh Son Of The Divinely Guided Comprehensive Guides.

Oh Son Of The Best (Dispelers Of Darkness Where Wrong Festers And Hides)39

Oh Son Of The Foremost Of Those Radiating Dignity (Generous And Kind).

Oh Son Of The Chaste Ones Whose Every Thought In Each Mind...

Every Deed and Audible Line... Is A Religiously Accepted Pure Divine Sign.40

Oh Son Of Those Who Kept Islam’s Spiritual Landscape Opulently Green

(While The Usurpers Built Gardens And Palaces To Their Materialist Deyn,

Ruining The Spiritual Scene With Arrogance Progressively, False And Obscene,

Artificially Opulent But Far From Pristine).41

12

38 It is not possible to seek physical vengeance against the murderers of Imam Husayn and his peoplephysically. One can fight against the die hards who fight against those who believe and propagate his

right. And one can propagate his right to those who do not know it, and remind those who do. And thebest reminder is leading a Husayn-like life.

39 AlMuththabeen = The Instructors Or Teachers (Shedders Of Light, Illuminators)

40

Ta’eb = a Jurisprudential unobjectionable act. They were ta’eb personified.

41 Islam spread globally, and became known for palaces, palatial houses of worship, schools, scientific

discovery, and religious tolerance. Religious tolerance aside, the worldly accomplishments did not inspirea faith that could withstand both the metaphysical and the physical satanic invasions. What if all those

resources went into more smaller neighborhood masjids, sponsoring continuing adult education,sponsoring local artists, organizing Fruit-of-Islam-Revolutionary-Guard-type youth cadres trained to keepthe peace, help the needy, and motivate the youth towards spiritual, intellectual, social, economic,

political, and marshal savvy and excellence? Building nepotistic bureaucratic boondoggles and gigantic“mosques” that were usually empty for morning prayers just couldn’t cut it.

42 Allah Is The Heavens’ And The Earth’s Light. An analogy of His Light (is) like a niche where-in is a

lamp. The lamp is in a glass bottle. The glass bottle is like a star, sparkling, kindling from a blessed tree(Shajarateen Mubarakah), an olive (tree) not eastern and not western. It’s oil is almost gleamingalthough a fire has not touched it. LIGHT ON LIGHT (NUROON ALA NUR). Allah is guiding to His Light

whoever is willing (to be guided to it). And Allah imparts words of wisdom (by making plain the morals of

his metaphors) to the people. And Allah Knows Everything. From The Holy Quran (24:35) EntitledAnNur; “The Light”

43 The pedigree of God’s Final Messenger’s Holy Household (S) is symbolized in Quran as a “Blessed

Tree... that tree being the tree of Prophethood from the line of Abraham (Ebraheem) and his first born sonIshmael (Ismaeel). That tree is traditionally said to be an “Olive” tree. While the tree of Jacob (Yakoob)

through Abraham is said to be a “Fig.”

44 Allah Permits (His Lamp-like Illuminating Wisdom to reside) in HOUSES THAT ARE DEDICATED (to HisCause) and His Name is remembered there in; (by) chanting glory to Him in (these houses) IN THEEARLY MORNING (GUDOOWAH) AND LATE AFTERNOON (ASAAL). From The Holy Quran (24:36)

(Representing The Hopes Of The Hosts And The Good Of Humanity).

Perhaps Nearer Than Two Bow Lengths (Preserving Dignity And Sanity)

(Already) Near, (Still) Approaching The Dominant High (Lord Of Humanity).

How I Long To Be Conscious Of The State Where You Dwell,

And The Far Land Of Your Refuge (And Your Blessed Personnel).

Is It Mount Radhwa, Or Mount Tuwa, Or Some Other HIgh Range?

It’s Troubling That I Can See Creatures Familiar And Strange,

But Can’t See You, Or Share With You A Whispered Exchange.

How Can I Bear That You’re Ringed With Ordeals Without My Assistance?

And Neither My Cry Nor My Protest Can Surmount That Great Distance.

By My Soul! Although You Are Hidden From Us, To Us You Are Near.

By My Soul! Though You’re Away From Us, You’re Close Enough To Be Dear.

Whispering Clearly But Secretly?How Distressing For Me That There Can Be,

No Dialogue Between You And Me.

How Distressing For Me That I Shed Tears For Thee,

While Others Disappoint You With Abandonment And Complacency.

How Distressing For Me When You’re The One Beset By Treasonous Treachery

Instead Of Adversity And Atrocity Falling On The Head Of Your Villainous Enemy.

Where Is There A Devotee (Whose Sensitivities Are Not Sleeping)

With Whom I Can Prolong My Devotional Mourning And Weeping?

Where Can I Join The Wailing And Weeping In A Vigil The Faithful Are Keeping?

Where Is There An Eye Vexed By A Large Speck of Grief

Whom I May Sympathize With (If I Can’t Offer Relief)?

When Will Our Orbits Synchronize In The Same Time And Space)

Bringing About Your Vowed Day (Of Jubilation, Exaltation And Grace) ,

And I’m Blessed To Meet You Physically (Eye To Eye And Face To Face)?

When Will Our Long Thirst For You Be Quenched By Your Innocent Perfection?When Can We Go With You, Day And Night In A Tight Camaraderie Connection,

As Your Presence Lights Our Mind’s Eye With Your God Conscious Reflection,

(Seeing The Muhammadan Halo Glowing Softly From Your Radiant Complexion)?

When Will You See Us And We See You... Basking In Mutual Fraternal Affection,

When You Unfurl Prophet’s Flag Of Victory Over Lies’ And Devilish Defection?

After You’ve Filled The Planet With Justice (Thus Winning Their Gratitude),

And After Your Foes Taste The Just Deserts For Their Actions And Attitude,

(And After) Destroying Those Foes Bound To The Lie In Murderous Servitude,

Oh Allah! Assess And Remove The Worrisome Tribulations That Oppress Us.

And I Call You To Witness The Aggression Aggressors Wage To Suppress Us

(And The Lures And Hooks Tempters and Temptresses Use To Impress Us)

(And Metaphysical And Physical Poisons Spiritual Assassins Use To Depress Us).

Oh Allah! You Are The Lord Of Both The Ultimate And This Inferior Life.So, Oh He Who Veils And Unveils, Unveil The Veiled One Who’s Beset By

Hypocrisy And Strife.

And Let His Followers See Their Sayyid With Eyes. Oh Almighty Power,

And Remove From Them Their Grief Through Their Chief (And Light Tower).

And Cool His Every Desire. Oh He Who’s Dominance Is Set Upon The Throne,

Him Whom All Will Return To In The End... Too Late To Atone.

Innocent Kin).

Hypocrites And Their Traitorous Vice.

And Placed Him As Our Protector Against Each Deviant Device.
