Qasida: Ta Surato Paiwande Jahan - Before the universe had a form

Qasida Gist:

The Holy Quran (4:174) states:

"O mankind! Verily there hath come to you a Convincing Proof (Hujja) from your Lord: For we have sent unto you a Manifest Light (Nurun Mubeen)."

According to the Shia interpretation, the Hujja is the Imam of the time. Nasr Khusraw in his Kalame Pir translated into English by Ivanow, elaborates on the concept of Hujjah: "The Imam is the Hujja or Proof of God, and it is for this reason that some Imams have said, "What is said about God refers to us."

This Qasida penned by Shams-i Tabriz the man who transformed Mowlana Rumi from a learned religious teacher into the world's greatest poet of mystical love, illuminates this notion of the Hujja having the qualities God. It highlights that Ali was there before creation of space and time. He was the legatee (wasi ) of the Prophet and was present with all Prophets assisting them in their mission. He is present as a life giving soul in every aspect and part of creation and the knower of the secrets of the apparent (zahir) and the hidden (batin).

Paragraph by Kmaherali:

"This Qasida penned by Shams-i Tabriz the man who transformed Mowlana Rumi from a learned religious teacher into the world's greatest poet of mystical love, illuminates this notion of the Hujja having the qualities God. It highlights that Ali was there before creation of space and time. He was the legatee (wasi ) of the Prophet and was present with all Prophets assisting them in their mission. He is present as a life giving soul in every aspect and part of creation and the knower of the secrets of the apparent (zahir) and the hidden (batin)."


Please note that above Qasida mentioned by you was not penned by Shams Tabriz but was written by Mowlana Rumi himself and devoted to Shams. In some instances Rumi has used 'Shams' as his pen name.

Also note that in this poem the word used is " BUUD" means " WAS " and not
"HAST " means " IS ".

Rumi has used the words for mowla Ali as WALI and WASI. This is what mentioned in the Preamble, as Imam WROTE," ..... the Holy Prophet DESIGNATED AND APPOINTED HIS COUSIN AND SON IN LAW HAZRAT MAWLANA ALI TO BE FIRST IMAM TO CONTINUE THE TA'WIL AND TA'LIM OF ALLAH'S FINAL MESSAGE..."

In your explanation you have written for Mowla Ali as," PART OF CREATION ", can you elaborate what you mean by that, Was Ali as a partner with Allah in creation?!

Interesting! What is your basis of saying this? Any documentary evidence?

In poetry it is not uncommon to mix tenses.

Yes he has used those terms to allude to the historical nature of the Hujjah. The Hujjah can assume any function and role that is best for the particular context. Remember in the beginning he said the Ali existed even before creation! Therefore we should not confine or restrict Ali to only his historical role.

You have read only part of my sentence. I said "He is present as a life giving soul in every aspect and part of creation." Just as being closer to your jugular vein...

It is a well known fact that KULIYAT or DIWAN was penned by Rumi and not Shams Tabriz.
Reference;
Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"Divan e Kabir or Divan e Shams Tabriz is one of Mowlana Jalal-ad-Din Muhammad Balakhi's (Rumi) masterpieces. A collection of lyric poems that contains more than 40,000 verses."

To prove your point you can mix tenses, but literally or according to grammar it is not correct. Shams Tabriz passed away, we say he was, and do not say he is.

Prophet said; ANA WA ALIYUN MIN NOORIN WAHID. Allah first created Noor e Mustafa and Noor e Murtaza before creation. So it is correct to say Noor e Ali was before creation.
Hujjah on his own shall not adopt any role or function until given by higher authority, because he is called Hujjatullah.

In Ismaili terminology Ali is considered as Universal soul or Nafsun wahidah. Please revisit your sentence, you wrote," He is present as a life giving soul in every aspect and PART OF CREATION." Means creator is some other entity but Ali is part of it and not as a sole proprietor.

I know that the Divan was penned by Rumi. If kulliyat and Divan are the same, then I stand corrected.

However their relationship was such that they became one, hence no difference whether it was one or the other.

From a poetic perspective in some situations was can mean is. For example in many cases Ali was and Ali is can mean the same if we consider the Noor.

We have been through this over and over. For you Hujjah is not the same as God for me it is. So let us agree to disagree and move on.

Just passing remarks on couple of your sentences....
You wrote," However their relationship was such that they became one, hence no difference whether it was one or the other." Strange, a monumental literary work of one person can not be credited to other. By the way I and Justin ( PM of Canada ) are same (human beings), can you consider me as PM of Canada?
You wrote," From a poetic perspective in some situations was can mean is."
I just say; JO CHAHEY AAK KA HUSUN KARISHMA SAAZ KAREY.
EJI GULNAZ KAHTI HAI TOU THEK KAHTI HAI. (don't mind, just kidding)

Please reflect on the following line from Rumi's famous Qasidah.

SHAHI KE WALI BUUD WASI BUUD ALI BUUD.

Ismailis do not use the words wali and wasi for Ali.

True but Rumi was not an Ismaili though he was a pupil of an Ismaili. Rumi did have his own ideas, not all of which were influenced by ismailism or Tabriz.
