The Story of a Soul: A Literary Prose

The human being was unaware of the secrets of creation, nor did he know the machinations. He fell from the sky to the earth out of carelessness, but still did not know how to recognize the devil’s temptation and act in a God-pleasing manner.

• He didn't even know what correct and rational behavior was, nor how it was attained.
• He didn't know what path to take to become a good servant of God.
• He wanted to live, but was unfamiliar with the secrets of life.
• He had seen little about it in books, nor learned much from others.
• Yet, he thought he knew everything and believed he dictated what should be.
• But he was oblivious to the fact that he would still fail, would not see God, and would not fulfill what He desired.
• He wanted to declare himself the best, but did not know he was the least.
• This is why the devil easily approached him, stole his peace, and tamed him, making him a victim of the devil’s machinations.
• He forgot verses like Surah An-Nas, Al-Falaq, As-Saafat, Al-Jinn, At-Taubah, An-Noor, and Ayat Al-Kursi to contemplate them, to free himself from ignorance, so that he would no longer be at the mercy of the devils and would not boast while his entire being was full of the need for divine grace.
• The devil, laughing at human ignorance, betrayed him in his heart.
• When he darkened the veil of ignorance and broadened the echo of ignorance, and constricted the adornment of the heart with the light of hope, and closed his eyes to the secrets of creation, he sought help from creatures, hoping for a miracle to fall from the sky and invite him to the table of divine grace.
• Thus, he did not see the signs of God and did not recognize Him as the provider of His command, for relief comes through means and intermediaries, not through effortlessness or without the kindness of the Creator.
• If there is relief, it is because of his own merit and effort, which unties the knot of his affairs.
• He is the one who guides the creature to the right path.
• Of course, if he hears the murmur of the stream of love that flowed from the sky to the earth to reap the harvest of knowledge from the land of the heart, and to bring forth the green of the fields and the golden hue of the harvest of the wonders of creation in the growth of the human soul, and to make the heart a dwelling place for the Lord of the heart, and to make life a manifestation of wisdom, a love-stricken ghazal that steals hearts to the Pleiades and sows the fruit of love.
• It carries the gaze of love through the arteries of the heart and elevates the human being to the highest minaret of the mosque, and sends his soul flying to the galaxies, saying, "O divine soul, you are pure and gentle, a sign of the Lord of the Worlds, entrusted as a deposit in this earthly body, to be a manifestation of the perfections of the Lord of the Worlds in your earthly destinies."
• You are the best of creators, transforming the desolate land into a land of exile, and everything you have is from Him, for He is the true owner, not the shadow-caster of the soul, who is the enchantment of love.
• He forgave you, and you reached the source of eternal love through his love, and with his help, you reach the peak of knowledge, and under the brilliance of his mercy, you become a jewel of the possible world.
• So, expand the carpet of light with gratitude to the Creator, and tune the captivating chords of the goals of creation by obeying the commandments of revelation and contemplating the lights of the verses, for the most beautiful music is the reflection of the music of the Creator of the universe, the unique and incomparable God.
• He intended for humans to worship God so that they may attain a blissful life and be elevated to the highest degrees of paradise, if they accept with their hearts and souls the commandments of God, revealed by the last of the prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the twelve infallible Imams (peace be upon him), who are: "The Prophet of God, the last of the prophets, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and his daughter, Fatima Zahra (peace be upon him), and Imam Ali, and Imam Hassan al-Mujtaba, and Imam Hussein, and Imam Sajjad, and Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, and Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, and Imam Musa al-Kazim, and Imam Reza, and Imam Muhammad al-Jawad, and Imam al-Hadi, and Imam Hasan al-Askari, and Imam al-Hujja ibn al-Hasan al-Askari, the Qaim of the lineage of Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

Glory be to the blossoms of Muhammad.
