Unmanifested
star
A
shining and brilliant star , so very beautiful and heart-stealing ,
appears in the heart of the night just like a burning Flam but is
concealed and unmanifested during the day.
Although
this shining star is not seen all through the day and is concealed
from people's eyes but when the dark night covers everywhere and
makes the world a silent dark-house , that same disappeared star will
become manifest and appear just like a burning flame and a shining
meteor , it tears the dark night and brightens the sky.
The
loving God has sworn to this unmanifested star of the day and
appeared of the night and it the Surah Takvir God has said:
*(Swear
to the turned and disappeared
stars
, the going and concealed
in shelters.)*
Question of a
savant lady
Omm-E-Haany
was a virtuous and savant lady and a seeker
of knowledge and perfection. She used to live in Medina
and was fond of the school of
Walaayat .
Her
life was during the living period of the fifth Imam of the Shi'ah ,
Hazrat Baaqer-Ol-Oloom (PBUH) , she benefited so much from the highly
knowledgeable statements of that great Divine man and had become
among narrator of the Imam's sayings and narrations.
One
day this great lady visited the fifth Divine successor of the Prophet
(Peace Be Upon Him & His Progeny , PBUH&HP) , Imam Baaqer
(PBUH) , and asked about this same heavenly statement :
What
is the meaning of the disappeared star
which God has sworn to, in Qur'an?
Imam
responded:
((That
star is the Imam who will disappear
on
the year 260 A.H them just like a burning
flame
manifested in the dark night , he shall
rise
and shine. If you comprehend his time
and
appearance , your eyes will be brightened.))
