Part 1: Who is Noor Mowlana Hazar Imam from a Spiritual Point of View?
"The Wise Qur'an repeatedly says that the main fountainhead of knowledge is one, which is the one whom God and Prophet have made the light of knowledge and the teacher of the Book and Wisdom, namely the True Imam (of the time). It is he who in reality is the 'alim (possessor of knowledge) of given knowledge (ilu-u laduni), with whose mention, allusions and similitudes of the Qur'an abounds.
It is he who is the Embodied Light, Rope of God, Speaking Book, Straight Path, Tree of Knowledge (Holy Tree), Kawthar, Progeny of Ibrahim (Progeny of Muhammad), Rasikhun fi'l-ilm (those who are well-grounded in knowledge), Imam-i Mubin (Manifest Imam), Shahid (Witness), Mu'awwil-i Qur'an (the one who gives the ta'wil of the Qur'an), Guide, Heir of the Prophet, Gate of knowledge and wisdom, Supreme Name, Light of 'Ali, Waliyy-i amr (Custodian of Command), Firm Handle, Shah-i Wilayat (King of Wilayat), Subtle World, Ibda'i Body, Hidden Book, Perfect Man, Embodied Paradise, Means of Salvation, Nuh's Ark, Soul of the World, Single Soul, Last Day, Face of Allah, Mountain of Qaf, Honoured Rock, Sound Heart, Sun of Azal (Pre-eternity), Ladder of Heaven, Sur (Trumpet) of love and annihilation, Lamp of Recognition, Treasure of Secrets, etc."
