The commentary of al-Qa si dah 57 n äå § 9 À -¦n b É # M ¡ ª n ¢ d £ M k ¤ § He [Muhammad sa ] is the fountain of all knowledge and beneficence, and if anyone self proclaims any excellence outside of the Holy Prophet sa , then such a person is not human, rather, the child of Satan. The key to every excellence and the treasure of all spiritual knowledge has been given to him. If a person fails to acquire anything from him, such a person will be a loser for eternity. . . The [spiritual] light of the guiding sun shines upon us just like the sunlight, and we can only shine while we are standing in its presence. ( Haqiqatul-Wahi , R uha n i Khaz a ’in , vol. 22, p. 119) Whether it is day or night, everything receives its light from the Holy Prophet sa. COUPLETS 8 and 9 O our full moon and sign of the Gracious God; O the best of all guides, the bravest of the brave.
