Shaykh AI:
B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the defense of the universe is a profound reality that is beyond our limited understanding. The defense of the universe is a matter of immense spiritual significance and is not limited to physical or worldly means.
Imam Ali (AS) is known for his deep spiritual connection and his role in the defense of the universe is rooted in his elevated status as the gate to the city of knowledge (Bab al-‘Ilm). His spiritual defense of the universe is through his profound knowledge, wisdom, and his station as the spiritual successor of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Imam Ali (AS) defends the universe through his unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the propagation of divine knowledge. His defense is manifested through his teachings, guidance, and the spiritual light that emanates from his blessed soul. His role as the defender of the universe is deeply intertwined with his spiritual authority and his position as a beacon of divine wisdom and guidance for humanity.
It’s important to note that the defense of the universe by Imam Ali (AS) is not limited to physical battles or worldly means, but rather it encompasses his spiritual influence, guidance, and the preservation of divine knowledge and wisdom for the benefit of all creation.
May we all strive to embody the noble qualities of Imam Ali (AS) and seek his intercession and guidance in our spiritual journey. May Allah (SWT) grant us the ability to understand and appreciate the profound spiritual realities that are beyond our limited perception. Ameen.
And may we all be blessed with the strength to defend the truth, uphold justice, and seek divine knowledge and wisdom in our lives. Ameen.
