Rā: The Secret of Chirality

Sharh-e Shat-hiyat (by Baqli Shirazi, 1120 CE)
Chapter 13
On The Meaning of Ra

Ra (‘r’ sound) is one of the Mutashabihat (Ambiguities) within the Shat-h (Terse Sufi Verbiage) and a Ramz (Cipher) for (deciphering) the chiral (mirror-like) attributes of all existence. (Ra) dealing with the Fardaniat (Singling out the Divine Being) is the primal cause of the Farq (Partitioning) within the Zahir (Emergent Abstraction) of Tauhid (Divine Oneness). However (Ra) is indistinguishable from the infinitely ancient Dhat (Inmost Essence) within the Qidam (Space of all Actualities). (Ra) made Tajalli (Lucent Manifestation) upon the (darkness) of ‘Adam (Non-being) for the purpose of creation of all existence, and for the purpose of creation of ‘Ishq (Unrestrained Unary Love) and Ma’refa (Divine Gnosis) of souls within the Qidam (Space of all actualities) (i.e. snaphot of Qidam).

شرح شطحیات
روزبهان بقلی شیرازی
فی معنی الراء
راآت از متشابهات در شطحیات رمز صفات مرآتی است کون را
و در فردانیت در ظاهر توحید شرایط تفرقه است
لکن از اصل قدم مباین نیست از ذات قدیم در قدم
عدم را تجلی کرد برای ایجاد کون و عشق و معرفت ارواح بر قدم

Alif + Lam + Mim + Ra or Alif + Lammmm + Ra (Mim of Lam is used without explicit writing) are possible spellings for Mirror in Arabic Al-Mir'āt minus the hamza-ta ('t' sound at the end). This Rahi (Author) believes that why Sufi Sheiks like Baqli corresponded the Ra ('r' sound) to Mirror concepts.

لسان العرب
ابن منظور
والمِرآةُ، بكسر الميم: التي ينظر فيها، وجمعها المَرائي والكثير المَرايا، وقيل: من حوَّل الهمزة قال المَرايا. قال أَبو زيد: تَراءَيْتُ في المِرآةِ تَرائِياً ورَأيْتُ الرجل تَرْئِيَةً إذا أَمْسَكْتَ له المِرآةَ لِيَنْظُر فيها. وأَرْأَى الرجلُ إذا تراءَى في المِرآة؛

There universes of Malakut (Spiritual Realm), Mulk (Corporeal Realm) and Jabarut (Seed of all universes) are totally disjoint from each other, and the only mechanism for them to share something of each other is by means of the reflections of mirrors. (See Nasafi' Mirror: http://untiredwithloving.org/nasafi_mirror.html)

In order to develop better cognizance of the above said concept of Mirrors let's generalize this notion first:

1. Acoustic Mirror, reflects or focuses sounds.

2. Molecular Mirror, Right-handed vs. Left-handed organic molecules

3. Neurological Mirror, mirror neuron that fires when the animal copies another animal doing the same thing

4. Telescope Mirror, mirror based telescope that focuses lights from far distances

If you attempt to record sounds of different objects (in different places) and use technology to cut and paste them in parallel tracks as if they were all in one place, the listener hears synthetic artificial compositions. What is lacking is the Spatial Ambient Reverbs i.e. the said objects in the scene echoing off each other.

Usage of Ti-L-Ka (That (female) for you Muhammad) and 'that' in far distance referring to the verses revealed, and usage of Kum (you plural i.e. humanity in present tense), are all objects in humanity's continuum wherein the 'Ti' references the verses i.e. the reverbs (Divine Echos) between the Prophet and the people.

These Divine Reverbs (echos), between the Prophet and people, are based upon the Ra or the Alif-Lam-Ra.

As the absence of the Ambient Reverbs makes the acoustics unrealistic and synthetic, the absences of Ra or Alif-Lam-Ra makes the relationship between the Prophet and the mankind artificial and ineffective.

Remark: Hu (ITs) Divine Throne was upon water [11:7], therefore the commencement of the audio is the reverberation of droplets of water, reverbs for air and reverbs for water.

10:1. Alif-Lam-Ra These are the ayats (verses) of the Book of Wisdom.

10:2. Is it a matter of wonderment to men that We have sent Our inspiration to a man from among themselves?- that he should warn mankind (of their danger), and give the good news to the Believers that they have before their Lord the lofty rank of truth. (But) say the Unbelievers: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer!"

10:3. Verily your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days (intervals, pulses of light), and is firmly established on the Divine Throne, regulating and governing all things. No intercessor (can plead with Hu (IT)) except after ITs leave. This is Allah your Lord; Hu (IT) therefore do serve you: will you not receive admonition?

10:4. To Hu will be your return- of all of you. The promise of Allah is true and sure. It is Hu (IT) Who beginns the process of creation, and repeats it, that Hu may reward with justice those who believe and work righteousness

11:1. Alif Lam Ra (This is) a Book, with verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning), further explained in detail from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all things):

11:2. (It teaches) that ye should worship none but Allah. (Say): "Verily I am (sent) unto you from Hu (IT) to warn and to bring glad tidings:

11:3. "(And to preach thus), 'Seek ye the forgiveness of your Lord, and turn to Hu (IT) in repentance; that Hu may grant you enjoyment, good (and true), for a term appointed, and bestow His abounding grace on all who abound in merit! But if ye turn away, then I fear for you the penalty of a great day:

11:4. 'To Allah is your return, and Hu (IT) has power over all things.'"

Remark: you hear two bolts of thunder here, one for Rahman and one for Rahim. Both mean the benevolent gift-giver the latter specifically for the spiritual believers and the former a gift-giver for general public)

12:1. Alif-Lam-Ra These are the symbols (or Verses) of the perspicuous Book.

12:2. We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom.

12:3. We do relate unto thee the most beautiful of stories, in that We reveal to thee this (portion of the) Qur'an: before this, thou too was among those who knew it not.

12:4. Behold! Joseph said to his father: "O my father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me!"

14:1. Alif-Lam-Ra A Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their Lord - to the Way of (Hu (IT)) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise!-

14:2. Of Allah, to Whom do belong all things in the heavens and on earth! But alas for the Unbelievers for a terrible penalty

Remark: You hear the ocean waves and seagulls, the water billows and reflects off the shore and the sounds of the waves reflect off the seagulls and the chirping of the seagulls reflects off the water…

15:1. Alif-Lam-Ra These are the Ayats of Revelation of a Qur'an that makes things clear.

15:2. Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah's will) in Islam (Submission).

15:3. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).

15:4. Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.

15:5. Neither can a people anticipate its term, nor delay it.

Remark: Audio ends with the sounds of water waves, again ITs Divine Throne is upon water and there is nothing else in reality!
