Prelude
Azizam (My Dearest):
Azizat (Your Dearest) Allah has
decreed that the worst of all failures
for a man to be the loss of his child and let there be nothing of pain
and sorrow equating to this calamity. The very precise moment of loss
of his child, is the capricious moment of his lofty flight gliding
within the atmosphere of Divine Beauty!
He is no longer a man like
others around, he is now half a wounded beast roaring within the
deafened forest of his Nafs (Self)
while his other half a wing-less
angel aloft the Sea of Divine Oneness—The
obverse faces of the same
coin. He is now sure that he is only an undeserving animal (or even
lower) and he is even surer that only Allah can
soothe his carnal pain.
Even a prophet, such of the grandness of the Jacob peace be upon him
and his family, was not spared from such loss. This is the story of
every lover, be it a prophet loving his child-prophet, being taught the
lesson: Exposed to the Divine Presence no soul is allowed to love other
than Allah.
This treatise focuses upon the few scant words that Jacob uttered
sorrowing in loss of Joseph; these are not mere transient words of
a human being; these are the everlasting secrets of Divine Beauty
translated uncontrollably by the heart of a prophet-father, not as a
biological father but as a Divine Translator—A translation from the Nur
(Divine
Light) into the transient human emotions and words, decrypting
the darkness into light.
Instruction: How to Decipher Jacob’s
Words
A father in concealment of a forsaken desert has a private discussion
with his beloved son, few words barely making a paragraph, and within
the father’s verbiage an extraordinary spiritual event takes place that
changes the lives of millions for thousands of years to come.
While the story of this conversation focuses on the Prophet Joseph yet
the role of the father i.e. Jacob has been undermined by most scholars
and readers, the true significance of this conversation is what took
place within the heart of the Prophet Jacob, peace be upon him and his
family.
Indeed thousands upon thousands of universes were interlinked and
traversed by the heart of Jacob and thus within the Wujud (Being) of
this learned prophet a prehension
was prehended: The true reality of
his son’s existence within the Qidam (Space of
Actualities) is felt via
the subjective-form of a unique multi-dimensional Personal Presence
exclusively endowed for Joseph. Joseph said: I saw (in a dream) eleven
star, sun and moon(s), and upon hearing these words the prehension
commences within the Wujud (Being) of Jacob traversing (as though)
through these eleven cosmic universes, beyond his control and in total
absence of his personal volition.
Stunned, Jacob feels and sees a mirror reflection of the
child-prophet’s
existence in Qidam (Space of
Actualities) into our realm of
potentialities (here), with eleven addressable personalized presences
that allow for others to ‘address’ to morph from abject darkness into
luminous stars, suns and moons!
Emptying the Heart
"And before this (narration of this story) you (Muhammad) were amongst
the ignorant" [12:3]: Prior to reading the words of Jacob and this
Surah (Chapter) in general, the reader ought to empty his/her heart
from all presumed knowledge and upon this emptiness brand his/her Self
as an ignorant thirsting for acquisition of true ‘Ilm (Knowledge)
adapted from the lantern of Prophethood.
If you read these words while anything left within your heart, you
might just hear a fable, some tale told around the fire camps of the
ancient people of the desert. However if you are able to empty your
heart from all else, the false-knowledges you deem as truth and
reality, then you will no longer read or hear a fable indeed you will
behold myriad of spiritual realms where you can find answers to your
questions: Sings for the askers! [12:7].
Collective-Thought: From Til-Ka to
Ta’qilūn
After the passing of the Mustafa (The Chosen, Muhammad), we are formed
into a Nation, not of bodies and numbers, but of hearts and intellects,
feeling as an assembly and thinking as a collective beyond the
false-barriers of space and time—A spiritual continuum:
12:1. This (addressed) to you
(Muhammad) is the verses of a clear book
12:2. We sent it down as an Arabic reading (Qur’an) that perchance you (pl. people) do ponder
الر تِلْكَ آَيَاتُ
الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
إِنَّا
أَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآَنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
This reading-piece (Qur'anan) about the story of Jacob and Joseph was
sent down to
you Muhammad as a single person, so that the people form a collective
to ponder upon its meanings. Til-Ka (Ti(This, female) addressed to
Ka(you)) is
singular addressing the Mustafa (The Chosen, Muhammad) and Ta’qilun
(you pl. ponder) a verb transient for the collective of people.
The Nur (Divine
Light) that emanates from this story enables the
readers for individual as well as collective thinking and muse. Let’s
go
even one step further: this story is the spiritual-glue that fuses all
the
thinkers together into one thinking collective! Violating the rules of
space and time.
Ta’qilun: Present Tense vs. Kāna: Past
Tense
12:2. We sent it down as an Arabic reading (Qur’anan) that perchance you (pl. people) do ponder
12:7. For sure, within (the story of) Joseph and his brothers there WAS (some) signs for askers
إِنَّا
أَنْزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآَنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
لَقَدْ
كَانَ فِي يُوسُفَ
وَإِخْوَتِهِ آَيَاتٌ لِلسَّائِلِينَ
The past tense of the Kana (Was) indicates that there are no
potentialities in the signs of these stories, indeed these signs are in
Qidam (Space
of Actualities) free from all probabilities and
potentialities i.e. actualities.
Although the Āyāt (Sings) is plural, yet the verb Kana (Was) is
singular:
Qurtubi
The people of Makkah read it as Āyat (Sign) i.e. singular, but Abu
Ubaid selected it (read it) as Ayāt (Signs, pl.) and said this is so to
indicate the immenseness of goodness within the single sign (by making
is plural).
تفسير الجامع لاحكام
القرآن/ القرطبي (ت 671 هـ)
وقرأ أهل مكة «آيةٌ» على التوحيد؛ وٱختار أبو عبيد
«آيَاتٌ» على الجمع؛ قال: لأنها خير كثير.
Ayat: Definite Female vs. Indefinite
Male
12:1. Ti(This, female) L(Distance) Ka((addressed) to you) (Muhammad)
is the verses of a clear book
In 12:1 the Āyātu (The Signs) is a definite female name referenced by
the Ti (‘t’ sound) of Til-Ka.
12:7. For sure, within (the story of) Joseph and his brothers there WAS
signs for askers
In 12:7 Āyātun (Signs) is an indefinite female name which is treated as
though a male name by the verb Kana (Was, male).
الر تِلْكَ آَيَاتُ
الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
لَقَدْ
كَانَ فِي يُوسُفَ
وَإِخْوَتِهِ آَيَاتٌ لِلسَّائِلِينَ
Therefore 12:7 refers to the indefinite Signs as a altered-gender male
Signs i.e. the Signs does refer to something other than the Signs of
12:1. In other words, in 12:1 the Signs is female i.e. ennobled by
association to Allah
being the revelation for Allah’s words and
message, and yet in 12:7 her meaning is change to a male gendered name
to indicate that these Signs are not the ones at 12:1 and they refer to
general wisdom, Gnostics, hints and so on which can be grasped by a
thinker’s mind.
Please see more details on altering the genders of the Arabic words: http://www.untiredwithloving.org/haqqi_light.html#oil
Baqli
12:7. For sure, within (the story of) Joseph and his brothers there WAS
signs for askers:
Ayāt (Signs) are the luminosity of Nur (Divine Light)
of Al-Haqq (The
Absolute Reality & Truth, Allah)
radiating from his face (Joseph's)
and the
emergence of the knowledge(s) of Ghayb (Unseen) within his heart and
his Ma’refa (Gnostics) for the Dhat (Divine Essence), Sifat (Divine
Attributes), (Joseph being) the generous Sign (from Allah) as are
his
blessings, as are the subtleties of his deeds and as our his
craftiness. Hamdun Al-Qasar said: There are signs within the
creation of Joseph, and the grandest of all signs are within his Nafs
(Self)
which is his Ma’refa (Divine Gnostics) of the trickery of his
Nafs and her treachery.

The Arabic vs. Hebrew
Hebrew of Jacob was point-to-point (P2P) between him and his son, while
the
Arabic narration of Jacob’s words are in broadcast mode i.e. luminous
like light spreading into many points of spacetime, shining into many
hearts. While the actual text of the original Hebrew words of Jacob are
lost, their luminous Qasas (trace) still radiate with Nur (Divine
Light). And these shimmering traces are translated from the optics
of
the heart into the linguistics of the Arab tongue.
You might say, what the words in Hebrew reflected off a mirror and
shone upon the humanity as that of a mirror’s reflections in many
directions, directions in time and directions in space.
Qasas: Luminous Tracks
Lisanul Arab (Ibn Manzour Afriqi)
Qissa is a famous tale or fable, 'in his head there is a Qissa' means
there is a part of a speech in his mind as the meaning of 12:3: We will
Qissa (narrate) to you the best of Qasas i.e. we will make plain and
clear to the best expression of clarity (Bayan). Also Qasas of
something is traces, tracks, one after the other leading to it as was
said in 28:11: (Moses’ mother) said to his sister ‘track him’.
Dara
Indeed what we read as an Arabic narration of the story of Joseph,
specially the Arabic translations of the Hebrew speech of Jacob, is a
track made of Nur (Divine Light)
to be trekked by the lovers and Murids
(Seekers of the Divine).

Harf Alif:
Sharh-e Shat-hiyat (Baqli)
Chapter 11
An Ishara (Vector)
pointing at the establishment of the Qidam upon
Qidam, within the Qidam and from the Qidam: No matter what
entity we might think about, it should have a space to reside
within as the mathematicians say, or needs to have a background
field(s) or timespace to reside upon/within as the physicists say, or
it needs to have an environment or habitat to reside within as the
biologists say. In general all entities need to reside upon a
stratum. However Alif, like a vector, points at the Qidam
residing upon nothing other than Qidam itself! Qidam needs no space or
fields or environments or stratum to reside upon/within. Qidam
therefore resides upon within and from Qidam! And Alif is that vector
that points at this Self-Stratum of the Qidam.

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).

Ra
(‘r’ sound) is a Ramz (Cipher) for (deciphering) the chiral
(mirror-like) attributes of all existence: Mirror symmetries of
the nature can be thought of an encryption and beyond the reach of any
viewer, however the
prehension
of the Harf (Divine Alphabet) caused the
decryption of these symmetries which we call the Chiral Symmetries.
When the
physicists
in their cloud chambers traced the path of the
electron paired
chirally
with a positron, indeed they were exposed to
the Ra that allowed them to decipher and see the mirror symmetries of
weak-force
particle-
antiparticle
pairing.
(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): One single light shone upon many mirrors
reflects many images for many eyes to behold. These myriad
chiral
reflected images are the manifestation of the Zahir (Emergent
Abstraction) of the Divine Oneness which otherwise is incurably
searchless and inaccessible. And these unnumbered reflections are known
as Farq (
Partition)
amongst the Sufis.
However (Ra) is indistinguishable from
the infinitely ancient Dhat (Inmost Essence) within the Qidam
(Space of
all Actualities): Ra might sound like a transient pronunciation
or inking on the paper of an alphabet, but its reality is inseparable
or inexorably linked to the very essence of the Qidam (Space of
all
Actualities) thus infinitely ancient. Therefore, note that the Chiral
Symmetries of the nature are indeed infinitely ancient attribute of
the
essence within the space of all actualities free of all potentialities.
(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): In metaphysic of the Sufis
the ‘Adam (Non-being) is a space indeed with structure containing
elements, as opposed to the Western Philosophies which consider the
non-being as nil. The closest in the Western thought relating to Adam
is manifested through the concept of vacuum
fluctuations of Quantum
Mechanics. Here first a process is described i.e. ‘Adam (Space of
Non-being), infinitely dark, is glanced at under a mirror reflection
caused
by the prehension of Ra, which takes a chiral
image of the non-being
and transport it via Nur (Divine Light)
into our observable universe
which we have coined as our world. We are used to thinking that
creation is bunch of particles plants and animals, but indeed the
creation is a
mirro-reflection that primarily includes the mirror reflection/image of
the ‘Ishq
(Unrestrained
Unary Love) as well as the gnosis of the souls, a
snapshot from the Qidam (Space of
all actualities). Without these
mirror reflections of the love and souls, nothing of the spiritual
realm could have been felt or thought or talked about.
Ramz (Cipher)
Ramz
is an inmost intrinsic meaning (Batin) stored under the abstraction
(Zahir) of words that no one has access to it (or interface it) except
the people of Hu (IT,
He). The reality of the Ramz is the realities of
the Ghayb (Unseen) formalized within the relentless rigor of the ‘Ilm
(Divine
Knowledge), articulated by the language of Sirr (Divine
Observatory) thus reflected (mirror-like) within the alphabetic
words
(Harf).
فی الرمز
قال رمز معنی باطن است مخزون تحت کلام ظاهر که بدان ظفر نیابد الا اهل او
حقیقت رمز حقایق غیب در دقایق علم به تلفظ لسان سر در حروف معکوس است
فی التوحید
قال توحید تجرید قلب است از حدوثیت به رؤیت قدم
Tajrid (Denudation)
Tajrid is the cleansing of the Sirr (Divine
Observatory) from all other
than the Haqq (Absolute Reality and Truth, Allah).
فی التجرید
قال تجرید تنزیه سر است از غیر حق
In summary the three Harf (Alphabetized Divine
Word) Alif, Lam and Ra,
are three intertwined prehensions
forming a composite vector pointing
from there to here, and forming a composite subjective-form within the
Wujud (Being)
of the reader:
1. Alif: News information about the space of all
actualities i.e. Qidam
that this space needs nothing else to exist, it
exist in and of itself free of all else.
2. Lam: There is a barrier surrounding this Qidam,
beyond the reach of anything, the barrier acts as thought a veil, the
resplendent luminousity of the veil of Divine Beauty.
3. Ra: The rays of the Divine Beauty
in Lam reflect
off the Primordial Active Mirror for the pure hearts and minds to see
some reflection of the Qidam from time immemorial.
Ra acts like a cryptography key that deciphers the mirror reflection so
the hearts and mind can see feel and think about the souls and the
love, entities residing within the Qidam.
Entity A is Jacob prehending
the
Joseph’s priomordia i.e. Joseph’s existence within the Qidam
free from
all potentialities. This Prehension is composite comprised of
Alif+Lam+Ra, braided into a single Idrak (Prehension,
Grasp) however
the alphabet Ra (‘r’ sound) allows effulgence of a mirror reflection.
In other words the latter allows other entities e.g. C to share with
the long gong Jacob a mirror image of Joseph, a reflection of the
boy-prophet from Qidam. These reflections, as will be explicated below,
are felt as Personal Presence(s), in Joseph’s case 11 or so of these
presences.
Vast amounts of energies required to
braid the three Harf (Divine Alphabets)
and to prehend
them and feel
their subjective forms. Therefore these complex prehensions are not
ordinary and they impossible to be duplicated by other than Allah.
Prophetic Witness
The Prophet said: “Archangel Gabriel
came to me and in his palm there was a mirror and in the middle of her
(the mirror) there was a black beam of light, I asked: O Gabriel what
is this? He replied, this is the Dunya (The closest universe, this
world), her purity and her beauty/goodness. I asked: What is this black
spot/beam of light? He replied: This is Jum'a, I asked: And what is
‘Day of
Jum'a?, He answered: A day (time interval) from the days of your Grand
Lord. "

Tabari
Umar narrates from Umar Ibn Ali:
When Allah
forced Adam to descend from Paradise raised him above Abi
Qabis (Mountain?), thus raised the earth for him completely until he
saw all of it and said: This is all for you! Adam asked: Yes my Lord,
how can I know what is within her (earth)? So Hu (IT,
He) placed the
stars of him and then Allah said: If
you saw the stars like this then
the earth is like that and so on… therefore he knew/learned (what was
within)
earth by the stars. Then the latter became quite difficult for Adam,
thus Allah—‘Azza (Mighty) Wa (And) Jalla (Sublime)—sent down a mirror
from
the heaven so he (Adam) could see what is within the earth, until Adam
died and Shaitan
leaned against this mirror and said to it ‘break’ and
it
shattered.
تاريخ الرسل والملوك الطبري
قال عمر: حدّثني عيسى بن عبد الله، قال: حدّثني عمي عبيد الله بن محمد بن
عمر بن عليّ، قال: لما أهبط الله آدم من الجنّة رفعه على أبي قبيس، فرفع
له الأرض جميعاً حتى رآها وقال: هذه كلها لك، قال: أي ربّ، كيف أعلم ما
فيها? فجعل له النجوم، فقال: إذا رأيت نجم كذا وكذا كان كذا وكذا، وإذا
رأيت نجم كاذ وكذا كان كذا وكذا؛ فكان يعلم ذلك بالنجوم. ثم إن ذلك اشتدّ
عليه، فأنزل الله عزّ وجلّ مرآة من السماء يرى بها ما في الأرض حتى إذا ما
مات آدم عمد إليها شيطان يقال له فقطس فكسرها،
Jacob glanced upon the mirror
When the child-prophet spoke to his father Jacob about his dream, the
father saw within the mirror an image of the Qidam (Space of
all
Actualities), for certain, what is going to the happen to this boy
and
his brothers. This image is available for the heart that has no Shaitan
(What places
distance between the slave and Allah), as the
father
warned Joseph not to mention the dream to this brother that some
Shaitan might appear and the image distorted.
This mirror is not a mythical mirror, a figment of imagination or a
poetic concept, truly there is such Primordial Active Mirror that
allows the unseen of the Qidam (Space of
all Actualities) to form an
image and reflect within the mirror for the human Aql (Intellect) to
see free of Mumkinat (Potentialities), to see with certitude and
actuality.
In summary the three Harf (Alphabetized Divine
Word) Alif, Lam and Ra,
are three intertwined prehension
forming a composite vector pointing
from there to here, and forming a composite subjective-form within the
Wujud (Being)
of the reader:
1. Alif: News information about the space of all
actualities i.e. Qidam
that this space needs nothing else to exist, it
exist in and of itself free of all else.
2. Lam: There is a barrier surrounding this Qidam,
beyond the reach of anything, the barrier acts as thought a veil, the
resplendent luminous of veil of Divine Beauty.
3. Ra: The rays of the Divine Beauty in Lam reflect
off the Primordial Active Mirror
for the pure hearts and minds to see
some reflection of the Qidam
from time immemorial. Ra acts like a
cryptography key that deciphers the mirror reflection so the hearts and
mind can see feel and think about the souls and the love, untangible
entities residing within the Qidam.
Note: INSHALLAH soon will have a write up on the
Primordial Active Mirror. For now assume there is a shape changing
mirror that reflects images into this world from the other world.
Ka: The Addressable Presence
Lisanul Arab by Ibn Manzour Afriqi
If you decide to address someone you say so by the usage of Ka in any
of the following varieties:
1. Ti-I-Ka: Ti (This female target) I (Near) Ka
(for/regarding/referencing/addressing you)
2. Ti-L-Ka: Ti (This female target) L (Far) Ka (you)
3. Ta-Alif-Ka: Ta (This female target?) Alif (Near?)
Ka (you)
4. Ta-L-Ka: Ta (This male target?) L (Far) ka (you)
5. Ta-Ni-Ka: Ta (This-two target) Ni (?) Ka (you)
6. Ta-Na-Ka: Ta (This-two target) Na (?) Ka (you)
7. ‘U-La-‘I-Ka: ‘U (Those plural target) La (?) ‘I
(?) Ka (you)
8. ‘U-La-Ka: ‘U (Those plural target) La (?) Ka (you)
9. ‘U-La-Li-Ka: ‘U (Those plural target) La (?) Li
(Far) Ka (you)
Ka (‘K’ sound in Arabic) addresses a male Ka (K as in cat) or female Ki
(K as in kit). The prefix before Ka e.g. Ti or Ta specifies the gender
of the target or ‘U specifying the plural attribute of the target.
(Dara: The ‘L’ sounds deal with the field of targeting i.e. near or
far)

Presence: Subjective-Form of the
Prehension
of Qidam
Ka (‘K’ sound in Arabic) is a Harf
(
Alphabetized
Divine Word), indeed a
prehension,
prehending the actual
existence of an entity in Qidam (
Space of
all Actualities) i.e.
prehending the Primordia of some object in this potential world.
In this potential world we deal with the potentialities of an entity,
however we are able to
prehend
the Primordia of an entity in
Qidam
in
its actualized existence free of all potentialities.
The Subjective-form of this
prehension
is felt as a Presence i.e. we
feel something exists, kind of close by, though we may not have the
ability to see the entity or observe the entity with any
instrumentation but within us there is a strong feeling of that object
being near though out of sight.
Note:
Primordia is a biological term dealing
with the few early cells of an organ found in the fetus that later
on are shaped into a complete and functional body part. This term is
borrowed
from embryology to mean the non-potential fetal existence of an entity
in this
potential world, which this fetal form is only found free of all
potentialities in Qidam (Space of
all Actualities).
Divine Origins
Ka is originally attributed to
Allah:
Allahumma (O our Lord) La (For) Ka
(You) Al-Hamdu (
All Perpetual
Praise) or Labbay (I am ready to
serve/comply) Ka (You).

As with the other personal pronouns,
Allah endowed
the humanity with
the gift of these personal pronouns—in infinitely vitiated forms—so
that we are able to communicate with Allah and using the same verbiage
to communicate with other humans.
Here again, although we cannot behold
Allah, yet we
are fully able to
feel the subjective-form of our
prehension
of Allah’s existence in
Qidam (
Space
of all Actualities) i.e. the Divine Presence.
Ra+Ka: One Light Many Reflections
The said prehension
of a Primordia in Qidam (Space of
all Actualities)
has a composite subjective-form, or you might say the
subjective-form of this prehension as a presence is composite or
multi-dimensional and one of those dimensions is indeed a visual
dimension.
Qidam (Space
of all Actualities) is search-less and unreachable,
however it is radiant and as such shines upon the said Primordial
Active Mirror deciphered by Ra (‘R’ in Arabic) and forms images
reflections of indivisible entities in Qidam (Space of all Actualities)
into divisible images and reflections.
In this treatise, the said reflection is viewed by the Spiritual Eye
(Basira)
and the image forms within the heart and intellect (within
the internal space of human Wujud (Being)).
In specific Jacob saw a visual presence of Joseph’s actual existence in
Qidam (Space
of all actualities) reflected off the Primordial Active
Mirror of Ra and was able to inform Joseph about the boy’s own-true
reality:
12:5. (Jacob) said: O my son do not narrate Ka (your #1) dream for Ka
(your #2) brothers that they might conspire a deception for Ka (you #3)
that indeed the Shaitan (What causes
distance between the slave and
Allah) is a
clear enemy for human being.
12:6. And as such for Ka (you #4) shall choose Ka (you #5), Ka (your #6
) Lord, and shall teach Ka (you #7) interpretation of the dreams and
shall complete Hus (ITs,
His) blessings for Ka (you #8) and (complete
the blessings) for family of Jacob as was completed for Ka (your #9)
forefathers, from before (Ka (you, omitted #10)), Abraham and Isaac,
that indeed Ka (your #11) Lord is All-knowing and All-wise.
Josephic Presence: 11 Dimensions
Jacob saw eleven presences of Joseph within the Primordial Active
Mirror and was able to translate what he beheld into words describing
them each as a Maqam (Stationary state
of the heart), Divine
Endowments, for the child-prophet:
1. State of Spiritual Vision: ‘O my son do not
narrate Ka (your #1) dream’.
2. State of Forgiveness: ‘for Ka (your #2) brothers’
whom Joseph loved and shared his gifts with and yet eventually
forgave them for all the treachery they did to him.
3. State of competency to handle evil: ‘that they
might conspire a deception for Ka (you #3)’
4. State of possessing a lasting Presence: ‘And as
such for
Ka (you #4)’
5. State of being the Chosen: ‘(Lord) shall choose
Ka (you #5)’
6. State of Servitude: ‘Ka (your #6 ) Lord’
7. State of ‘Urf (Divine Cognizance): ‘shall teach Ka
(you #7)’
8. State of Blessed-ness: ‘shall complete Hus (ITs,
His) blessings for Ka (you #8)’
9. State of Spiritual Continuum: ‘as was completed
for Ka (your #9) forefathers’
10. State of Invisible Nationhood: ‘from before (Ka
(you, omitted #10))’
11. State of Knowledge and Wisdom: ‘indeed Ka (your
#11) Lord is All-knowing and All-wise’

Note: The phrase ‘dimension’ is used in this
treatise to indicate the possibility of simultaneous exposure to these
numbered
Presence(s) each with varying intensity as we say 3 dimensions of x, y
and z meaning we can voyage and have varying magnitude for each
dimension.
The number eleven is actually an interval of numbers between 11 and 19:
Farra’
Indeed Arab set the number for Ahada (1)-Ashara (10) between 11 and 19
no matter which way it was sounded (Ahad Ashar or Aahadu Asharu) and as
such the phrase Ahada-Ashara reads as one lingual token and not
as an arithmetic expression of 1+10.

Therefore if the 10th omitted Ka is disputed, then there are several

add up to 16:
12:23. But she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him from his
(true) self: she fastened the doors, and said: "Now come, Ka (you dear
one)!" He said: "(Allah) forbid! truly (thy husband) is my lord! he
made my sojourn agreeable! truly to no good come those who do wrong!"
وَرَاوَدَتْهُ الَّتِي هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ
وَغَلَّقَتِ الْأَبْوَابَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ

(23)
12:36. Now with him there came into the prison two young men. Said one
of them: "I see myself (in a dream) pressing wine." said the other: "I
see myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head, and birds are
eating, thereof." "Tell us" (they said) "The truth and meaning thereof:
for we see Ka (you) art one that doth good (to all)."
وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا

said: "Be assured this day, Ka (you) art, before our own presence, with
rank firmly established, and fidelity fully proved!
وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ

12:78. They said: "O exalted one! Behold! he has a
father, aged and venerable, (who will grieve for him); so take one of
us in his place; for we see that Ka (you) art (gracious) in doing good."
قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُ أَبًا

12:90. They said: "Art Ka (you) indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph,
and this is my brother: Allah has indeed been gracious to us (all):
behold, he that is righteous and patient,- never will Allah suffer the

Sabrun Jamilun: Divine Beauty in form
of patience
Tustari
12:18.‘And they (the brothers) brought his (Joseph’) shirt with false
blood, (Jacob) said: Indeed your Nafs (Selves)
has belittled an affair
(a huge crime) and because of that Sabrun-Jamilun (Beautiful
Patience)’:
Sabrun-Jamil is patience while in the state of Ridha (Assent).
Q: What is the signature sign of Sabrun-Jamil?
A: There is no unhappiness or anxiety while suffering.
Q: Where does the beauty enters to this patience?
A: Due to the Ma’refa (Cognizance) that for sure Allah is with
you like
unto a cup that on top is patience (bitter drink) and at the bottom of
the cup undisolved honey! I am amazed at the person who is not enduring
with patience about the undesirable circumstances since Allah has said:
‘For sure Allah with the patient’ [2:153]

12:18.‘And they (the brothers) brought his (Joseph’) shirt with false
blood, (Jacob) said: Indeed your Nafs (Selves)
has belittled an affair
(a huge crime) and because of that Sabrun-Jamilun (Beautiful
Patience)’: Farāsa (Spiritual Glance) of Jacob informed him of the
secret treachery and though he knew he did not reveal anything to them,
here the Divine Secrets of Azali (Sempiternal) Qahar (Divine
Subjugation) is rendered that (I know) you committed a deceptive crime
however I do not observe nothing in this midst but the predestined
Divine Decree. And this is the secret of Sabrun-Jamilun (Beautiful
Patience) meaning by means of Allah the
person is patient not by the
endurance of his Nafs (Self) and
that is by the Shuhud (Observation) of
his Sirr (Divine
Observatory) (i.e. all is from Allah) as was said: And
your patience is but from Allah [16:127] or ‘Maintain patience for the
commandments of your Lord that you are under Our Eyes’ [52:48].
Dara: Sabrun-Jamil means you are beautified while suffering badly due
to some hard circumstance, and yet you are dyed by the Divine Beauty
since Allah
is looking at you attentively and quite closely.
Baqli
And the realization of this form of patience is accomplished by the
stillness of the heart with what Allah causes to
flow upon the heart
i.e. by means of the purity of the person’s Dhikr (Remembrance)
and the
Idrak (Prehension)
of being watched by Allah while in
the state of
Dhikr
as was said by Jacob: Wa (While) Allah is the most sought,
concerning what you are describing’ [12:18].
Tirmidhi: Subrun-Jamil is when the slave throws his leash at his Master
and submits himself to Allah.

Don’t rush to arrive upon the lost

That you will not behold the beauty
of The Beloved except via the Sabrun-Jamil

Zumukhsahri:
Sabrun Jamil (Beautiful Patience)
has entered into the Hadith (Prophetic Narrations):
‘that which has no complaints (while
enduring it)’ i.e. no complaining to the people. As was said by Jacob:
My announcement of sorrowing and my sorrows are for Allah [12:86].

Qurtubi
Sabrun-Jamilun (Beautiful Patience) with Raf’ (‘o/u’ sound) is loftier
(nobler) than Nasb (‘a’ sound as in cat) i.e. Allah there is,
with me,
a
beautiful patience. But in Nasb form i.e. Sabran-Jamilan it is a Masdar
(Verbal Noun) e.g. Maintain patience a beautiful patience. (Dara:
Sabran-Jamilan renderes a state the person is within which, however
Sabrun-Jamilun is some attribute the person possess e.g. I am beautiful
(with patience))
تفسير الجامع لاحكام القرآن/ القرطبي (ت 671 هـ)
قال المبرّد: «فصبر جميل» بالرفع أولى من النصب؛ لأن
المعنى: قال رب عندي صبر جميل؛ قال: وإنما النصب على المصدر، أي فلأَصبرنّ
صبراً جميلاً؛
Razi
Sabrun-Jamilun (Beautiful Patience) is Marfu’ (‘u/o’ sound) meaning it
is the Mubtada’ (The Beginning) and its Khabar (News, Information) is
omitted indicating: Sabrun-Jamil above all complaints!
Dara: Arabic sentences have different elevation for different words and
the highest elevation is for the ‘u/o’ sound. In the mind of the
Arab such pronunciation of ‘o’ sound indicates higher elevation for the
phrase within a sentence and elevation is subject to mental
interpretation e.g. geometrical height or nobility!
Jacob’s eyebrows had drooped due to the sorrowing for Joseph and he
used to pull them up by a tight piece of cloth around his forehead. He
was asked: What is this (cloth) for? And Jacob replied: Prolonging of
life and excess of sorrows, then Allah made Wahy
(Revelation)
to him ‘O
Jacob are your complaining?’ Jacob replied: O my Lord! I have done
wrong so forgive this wrong doing for me!
And here there are some discussions. Patience of what Allah has
destined is mandatory e.g. earthquakes and famines. But there is no
such obligation for the cruelty of the transgressor or deceptiveness of
the criminals i.e. one has to defend and deflect. And to move towards
ceasing such aggressions is necessary to avoid it from befallen on
others, since Jacob knew well about the brothers’ treachery why did he
maintain patience passively? Why didn’t he interrogate the brothers and
extract from them information to relieve Joseph from his suffering and
as such this establishes the correctness of the argument that Jacob was
patient
since he was within the Maqam (Stationary state
of the Heart) called
Mazmum (Protected). (Dara this state is when the slave is assured that
he and his loved ones are protected by Allah and he is in no need of
any action to protect anyone!)
Again according to the 12:6. ‘And as such your Lord will choose you and
will teach you the interpretation of the dream’ indicates that Jacob
was sure that the claim of Joseph’s slaughter by the wolf was false!
Moreover Jacob was a great man amongst his contemporaries, from a noble
mighty family, and the people of knowledge knew him and believed in him
and they regarded him highly for his knowledge. Therefore if he had set
out to seek and search for Joseph, this would have become a much talked
about issue (i.e. people would have helped me to track Joseph down) and
such (many years of depression and sorrows) would have never been. Then
why Jacob in spite of the mandatory need for search of Joseph and tools
and resources at his disposal did not commence any such search
whatsoever? Therefore this establishes both logically and religiously
that Jacob was within the Maqam (Stationary state
of the heart) of
Protected-ness.
Indeed it was the case that Kashf (Unveiling) of the Divine Secrets had
taken place for Jacob with regards to this horrible calamity, thus he
was immersed completely within the Shuhud (Observation) of the Nur
(Divine
Light) emanating from the hardships, therefore preoccupied with
that illumination away from all complaints and anxiety. And because of
the latter it is said:
The completed Mahab-bat (Divine
Love) does not increase with loyalty
and does not decrease with estrangement, that if such love was
increased by loyalty i.e. the lover and beloved were benefiting/gaining
from such love then such love is extrinsic and not intrinsic, and
passive patience for such intrinsic love is called Sabrun-Jamilun.
(Dara: Jacob did not love Joseph because he was a son or he was his
successor or he would grow up and do something for him or Joseph would
love and adore him. Indeed Joseph loved Jacob intrinsically i.e.
regardless of any benefit or pleasure he loved Joseph. Therefore
whether Joseph was near to him or afar, whether Joseph loved him or
not, made absolutely no difference to Jacob. And suffering the loss of
such love is called Sabrun-Jamilun).
تفسير مفاتيح الغيب ، التفسير الكبير/ الرازي (ت 606 هـ)
المسألة الأولى: منهم من قال: إنه مرفوع بالابتداء، وخبره محذوف،
والتقدير: فصبر جميل أولى من الجزع،
المسألة الثانية: كان يعقوب عليه السلام قد سقط حاجباه وكان يرفعهما
بخرقة، فقيل له: ما هذا؟ فقال طول الزمان وكثرة الأحزان: فأوحى الله تعالى
إليه يا يعقوب أتشكوني؟ فقال يا رب خطيئة أخطأتها فاغفرها لي.
وههنا بحث وهو أن الصبر على قضاء الله تعالى واجب فأما الصبر على
ظلم الظالمين، ومكر الماكرين فغير واجب، بل الواجب إزالته لا سيما في
الضرر العائد إلى الغير، وههنا أن إخوة يوسف لما ظهر كذبهم وخيانتهم فلم
صبر يعقوب على ذلك؟ ولم لم يبالغ في التفتيش والبحث سعياً منه في تخليص
يوسف عليه السلام عن البلية والشدة إن كان في الأحياء وفي إقامة القصاص إن
صح أنهم قتلوه، فثبت أن الصبر في المقام مذموم.
ومما يقوي هذا السؤال أنه عليه الصلاة والسلام كان عالماً بأنه حي سليم
لأنه قال له:
{ وَكَذٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ
ٱلأَحَادِيثِ }
[يوسف: 6] والظاهر أنه إنما قال هذا الكلام من الوحي وإذا كان عالماً بأنه
حي سليم فكان من الواجب أن يسعى في طلبه. وأيضاً إن يعقوب عليه السلام كان
رجلاً عظيم القدر في نفسه، وكان من بيت عظيم شريف، وأهل العلم كانوا
يعرفونه ويعتقدون فيه ويعظمونه فلو بالغ في الطلب والتفحص لظهر ذلك واشتهر
ولزال وجه التلبيس فما السبب في أنه عليه السلام مع شدة رغبته في حضور
يوسف عليه السلام، ونهاية حبه له لم يطلبه مع أن طلبه كان من الواجبات،
فثبت أن هذا الصبر في هذا المقام مذموم عقلاً وشرعاً.
والوجه الثالث: أنه ينكشف له أن هذا البلاء من الحق، فاستغراقه في شهود
نور المبلى يمنعه من الاشتغال بالشكاية عن البلاء و
لذلك قيل: المحبة
التامة لا تزداد بالوفاء ولا تنقص بالجفاء، لأنها لو ازدادت بالوفاء لكان
المحبوب هو النصيب والحظ وموصل النصيب لا يكون محبوباً بالذات بل بالعرض،
فهذا هو الصبر الجميل. أما إذا كان الصبر لا لأجل الرضا بقضاء الحق
سبحانه
بل كان لسائر الأغراض، فذلك الصبر لا يكون جميلاً، والضابط في جميع
الأفعال والأقوال والاعتقادات أن كل ما كان لطلب عبودية الله تعالى كان
حسناً وإلا فلا، وههنا يظهر صدق ما روي في الأثر «استفت قلبك، ولو
أفتاك المفتون» فليتأمل الرجل تأملاً شافياً، أن الذي أتى به هل
الحاصل والباعث عليه طلب العبودية أم لا؟ فإن أهل العلم لو أفتونا بالشيء
مع أنه لا يكون في نفسه كذلك لم يظهر منه نفع ألبتة. ولما ذكر يعقوب قوله:
{ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ } قال: { وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا
تَصِفُونَ } والمعنى: أن إقدامه على الصبر لا يمكن إلا بمعونة الله تعالى،
لأن الدواعي النفسانية تدعوه إلى إظهار الجزع وهي قوية والدواعي الروحانية
تدعوه إلى الصبر والرضا، فكأنه وقعت المحاربة بين الصنفين، فما لم تحصر
إعانة الله تعالى لم تحصل الغلبة، فقوله: { فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ } يجري مجرى
قوله:
{ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ }
[الفاتحة: 5] وقوله: { وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ }
يجري مجرى قوله:
{ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ }
[الفاتحة: 5].
Dara:
Within
this Maqam (Stationary
State of the Heart) Jacob is at a very high rank
indeed. Because here he does not mentions any words indicating his
sorrow and he does not use words like I or me! He justed Sabrun Jamilun.
Qushairi
12:86. ‘(Jacob) said: my complaints
public sorrowing and sorrows are only for Allah, and I
know from Allah
what you do not know’: Jacob complained ‘Ila (Towards) Allah and not
Min (From) Allah, since the one that complains ‘Ila (Towards Allah)
indeed shall reach (Allah), and the one that complains Min (From) Allah
shall part from Allah.
Jacob was carried comfortably by his
Sirr (Divine
Observatory) and his soul, that for sure he knew from
Allah about
the veracity of his circumstances i.e. Allah wished them to
be as such and they were not acts of evil men, and that is the meaning
of the verse: 12:86. ‘and I know from Allah what you do not know’.
As people beg you for mercy and solace
I beg you to complain to you, and then do listen!

محمولاً بِسِرِّه وروحه؛ لأنه عَلِمَ من الله - سبحانه - صِدقَ حالِه
فقال: { وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ } وفي معناه أنشدوا:
إذا ما تمنَّى الناسُ روْحاً وراحةً
تمنَّيْتُ أن أشكو إليكَ فَتَسْمَعَا
Haqqi
12:86. ‘My Bath-thi (Public Sorrows)’: Bath is the worst suffering that
its sufferer cannot endure it and broadcast it to the people i.e. going
from one person to another complaining.
تفسير روح البيان في
تفسير القرآن/ اسماعيل حقي (ت 1127 هـ) مصنف و مدقق
{ قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ
ٱللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ }
{ قال انما اشكو بثى } البث اصعب الهم الذى لا يصبر عليه صاحبه فيبثه الى
الناس اى ينشره فكأنهم قالوا له ما قالوا بطريق التلسية والاشكاء فقال لهم
انى لا اشكو ما بى اليكم او الى غيركم حتى تتصدوا للتسلى وانما اشكو همى {
وحزنى الى الله } ملتجأ الى جنابه تضرعا لدى بابه فى دفعه
رازكويم بخلق وخوار شوم
باتو كويم بزر كوار شوم
والحزن اعم من البث فاذا عطف على الخاص يراد به الافراد الباقية فيكون
المعنى لا اذكر الحزن العظيم والحزن القليل الا مع الله.
Ibn Ajiba
Jacob did not sorrow for the lack of the Joseph’s physicality, only
sorrowed about the lack of Suhud (Observation) of Divine Beauty
i.e.
Baha’ (Overwhelming
Beauty) that made Tajalli (Lucent
Manifestation)
from Joseph.
12:86. ‘(Jacob) said: my complaints public sorrowing and sorrows are
only for Allah’
is one corner of the Sufism’s foundation, even better
it is the very essence of Sufism.
تفسير البحر المديد
في تفسير القرآن المجيد/ ابن عجيبة (ت 1224 هـ)
الإشارة: لم يتأسف يعقوب عليه السلام على فقد صورة يوسف الحسية، إنما تأسف
على فقد ما كان يشاهد فيه من جمال الحق وبهائه، في تجلي يوسف وحسن طلعته
البهية، وفي ذلك يقول ابن الفارض:
عَيْني لِغَيْرِ جَمَالِكُمْ لاَ تَنْظُرُ
وسِوَاكمُ فِي خَاطِري لا يَخطرُ
فلما فقد ذلك التجلي الجمالي حزن عليه، وإلا فالأنبياء ـ عليهم الصلاة
والسلام ـ أولى بالغنى بالله عما سواه. فإذا حصل للقلب الغنى بالله لم
يتأسف على شيء، ولم يحزن على شيء؛ لأنه حاز كل شيء، ولم يفته شيء. " ماذا
فقد من وجده، وما الذي وجد من فقده ". ولله در القائل:
أَنَا الفَقِيرُ إِليْكُمُ والْغَنِيُّ بِكُمُ
وَلَيْس لِي بَعدَكُمُ حِرْصٌ عَلى أَحدِ
وهذا أمر محقق، مذوق عند العارفين؛ أهل الغنى بالله. وقوله: { إنما أشكو
بثي وحزني إلى الله }: فيه رفع الهمة عن الخلق، والاكتفاء بالملك الحق،
وعدم الشكوى فيما ينزل إلى الخلق... وهو ركن من أركان طريق التصوف، بل هو
عين التصوف. وبالله التوفيق.
Dara: Jacob after years of sorrowing for the loss of Joseph and with
the sudden anxiety of losing Benjamin, is found within a lower ranks
because he talks about his sorrows and uses the word I/me as can be
compared to his previous speech when Benjamin was still with him:
12:64. How can I trust him (Benjamin) in your care as I did so with his
brother (Joseph), Fa (Because of the previous history it is concluded),
Allah is the
best of protectors and Hu (IT,
He) is the Most Merciful of
all those who have mercy.
قَالَ هَلْ آَمَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَا أَمِنْتُكُمْ
عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظًا وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ
الرَّاحِمِينَ (64)
In the above verse after the Fa we see that Jacob does not use the
words I or me or the target of his hope and fear for Benjamin or
Joseph.
This is a high Maqam (Stationary State
of the Heart).
Again we see that Jacob out of helplessness relies on his Nafs
(Self)
to provide protection for Benjamin by first asking for a written
agreement with the elder brothers to protect the lad and he adds an
instruction from his own Self to
provide more security for them, which
Allah voided
all its effects:
وَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوا مِنْ بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ
وَادْخُلُوا مِنْ أَبْوَابٍ مُتَفَرِّقَةٍ وَمَا أُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ مِنَ
اللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ (67) وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا
مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُمْ مَا كَانَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ مِنَ
اللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةً فِي نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَاهَا
وَإِنَّهُ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ
لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (68)
12:67. And (Jacob) said: O my sons do not enter (the city) from one
gate, and do enter it from different gates, not that I can benefit you
in any way against Allah, that
indeed the true command is but for
Allah, upon Hu (IT,
He) I rely and upon Hu (IT, He) place they
reliance, all those who only place their reliance on Allah’
12:68. And when they entered as their father ordered them, nothing
availed them against Allah, except
it was a necessity that he (Jacob)
discharged (as the advice), that indeed he (Jacob) was possessors of
‘Ilm
(Divine
Knowledge) that was taught to him by Us however most people do
not know this.
Rauh: Mercy free of
Deprivation
Tustari
12.87:’O my sons! Do search after the Joseph and his brother, and do
not despair from Allah’s
Rauh (Mercy free of Deprivation), it is the
case that other that the nation of disbelievers no one despairs from
Allah’s Rauh (Mercy)’: The most virtuous service and the noblest is the
waiting for Allah to remove a hardship as was said by the Prophet,
peace be upon him: Waiting patiently for removal of hardship is Ibada
(Servitude for Allah).
تفسير تفسير القرآن/ التستري (ت 283 هـ) مصنف و مدقق
قراءة الآية
{ يٰبَنِيَّ ٱذْهَبُواْ فَتَحَسَّسُواْ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلاَ
تَيْأَسُواْ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ
ٱللَّهِ إِلاَّ ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْكَافِرُونَ }
قوله تعالى: { لاَ تَيْأَسُواْ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ } [87] قال سهل: أفضل
الخدمة وأعلاها انتظار الفرج من الله تعالى، كما حكي عن ابن عمر رضي الله
عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: " انتظار الفرج بالصبر عبادة "
وانتظار الفرج على وجهين: أحدهما قريب، والآخر بعيد؛ فالقريب في السر فيما
بين العبد وربه، والبعيد في الخلق؛ فينظر إلى البعيد فيحجب عن القريب.
