WHEN ALLAH SAYS 'WE', HE DESIRES TO INCLUDE YOU

Know O beloved,
that the highest blasphemy is our seeing
two, three or many
instead of the One

And yet when pointing to His Majestic Self
Allah uses the pronoun 'We'

Forget for a moment what they teach
in kindergarten madrassas and seminaries
that this "We" is just a royal pronoun

Come and graduate yourself
from that class for children
those who cant digest food
so they are given the ready-made
formula for infants

Instead,

The subject of tonight's lesson is
for the advanced

That
"We" by which
Allah calls HimSelf is
Precisely because
He desires to include you

Yes - you
As His

In baqa * You are His,
so He can gladly call
this sweet union
as His Never-Beginning-Never-Ending-Self

Your disappearance from you
is the We's appearance in Hu ^

In the Garden of Mystics
there are no
they - them - she - he
But only
One We

A gigantic
and infinite
We - That desires
You
my dear,
So very dearly
to be included

and may none of us
who read this
be excluded,
or be misfit

By the Most Merciful,

SO

BE

IT.



* Baqa is the station one reaches when one subsist in God. This comes after Fana, the passing away of the illusion of the false self, unreal identities and one sees only Oneness of His. Huwa Hu, only He is He.

^ Hu is the pointer that points towards the Divine Self
