328 Essence of Islam-1 We saw through him, so he is the true guide. Today he is the King of faith; the Crown of the apostles; He is pure and holy, this is his eulogy. All commandments ordained by the True God were demonstrated in practice by him; He revealed all secrets, an excellent gift is this. His vision is far-reaching like a telescope, his heart is close to the Friend; In his hands is the light of faith; he is the fountain of light. He revealed the weighty secrets of faith; He is the King who grants wealth. I am a sacrifice at that light; I belong entirely to him; He is all, what worth do I possess? This is the final verdict. That Unique Beloved is the source of all learning; All else is a mere tale, this is the truth unblemished. We found everything through him, O Allah You are a witness; He is that manifestor of Beauty, who showed us the Truth. We were blind of the heart, with hundreds of knots upon the hearts; The one who opened the locks is this very Mujtabā- accepted one. [Qādiān ke Āryā aur Hum, Rūķānī Khazā'in Vol. 20, p. 456] Fire of Devotion to the Beauty of Muhammadsa (Persian Poem) I am ready to offer my heart and soul For the beauty of Muhammadsa; My body is merely the dust of the lane Treaded by the progeny of Muhammadsa.
