Notes on the Lecture about Huroof and Ma'rifah

Key Concepts

• Huroof and Ma'rifah:
  • Importance of huroof (letters) in understanding Divine knowledge.
  • Angels and prophets are unable to access the qaf (ق) without the lamb (ل).
  • Existence relies on the connection through the tongue of the Divine Presence.

Divine Power and Existence

• Annihilation of Existence:

  • If Divine power (fire) were revealed without a mediator, all creation would be annihilated.
  • The necessity of a mediator (the tongue) to convey the Divine message.

• Mercy of the Divine:

  • The role of Muhammad ﷺ as a mercy to all creation (wa ma arsalaniha rahmatanil alamin).
  • The existence of the ancient tongue that communicates with the Divine is essential for understanding good and avoiding destruction.

The Concept of Qalam

• Qalam:
  • The letters qaf and laam in the word qalam represent the pen, symbolizing the conveyance of Divine knowledge.
  • Only Muhammad ﷺ can communicate with the qaf and access Divine knowledge.
  • The importance of the ancient tongue in receiving Divine knowledge.

The Role of Dajjal

• Dajjal's Knowledge:
  • Dajjal understands the reality of power and where it emanates, unlike many people who are lost in physical existence.
  • Jin (spiritual beings) have insights into these truths.

Access to Divine Knowledge

• Access Through Muhammad ﷺ:

  • Negating the importance of Muhammad ﷺ (the lamb) leads to a loss of access to Divine knowledge and the Qur'an.
  • The qaf only interacts with the reality of Muhammad ﷺ.

• Arab and Ancient Knowledge:

  • The term 'Arab' refers to an ancient authority with profound knowledge, not just a geographical region.
  • The Qur'an can only be understood through the ancient knowledge held by Abdullah (the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ).

Conclusion

• Nature of Qur'an:
  • The Qur'an is revealed with the Arabic Messenger, signifying the importance of language and knowledge in understanding Divine truths.
  • The necessity of the ancient authority for the opening of the Qur'an to any individual.
