That meditative voyager, in order to advance farther in the infinite degrees and countless luminous stages of knowledge of Allah the Most High, then wished to enter the world of men, the realm of humanity. Humanity, headed by The Prophets, invited him, and he accepted the invitation. Looking first at the stopping‑place of the past, he saw that:
All of the prophets (Upon whom be blessings and peace), the most luminous and perfect of humankind, were reciting in chorus,No god but He, and making remembrance of Allah the Most High. With the power of their brilliant, well‑attested and innumerable miracles, they were proclaiming Allah’s unity, and in order to advance man from the animal state to angelic degree, they were instructing men and summoning them to belief in Allah the Most High. Kneeling down in that school of light, he too paid heed to the lesson. He saw that:
In the hand of each of those teachers, the most exalted and renowned of all celebrated human beings, there were numerous miracles, bestowed on them by the Creator of All Being as a sign confirming their mission. Further, a large group of men, a whole community, had confirmed their claims and come to belief at their hands; a truth assented to and confirmed by these hundreds of thousands of serious and veracious individuals, unanimously and in full agreement, was bound to be firm and definitive. He understood, too, that the people of misguidance, in denying a truth attested and affirmed by so many veracious witnesses, were committing a most grievous error, indeed crime, and were therefore deserving of a most grievous punishment. He recognized, by contrast, those who assented to the truth and believed in it, as being the most true and righteous, and a further degree of the sanctity of belief became apparent to him.
Yes, the infinite miracles bestowed by Allah the Most High on the prophets (Upon whom be peace) each one being like a confirmation of their mission; the heavenly blows dealt to their opponents, each being like a proof of their truthfulness; their individual perfections, each one being like an indication of their righteousness; their veracious teachings; the strength of their faith, a witness to their honesty; their supreme seriousness and readiness to self‑sacrifice; the sacred books and pages held by their hands; their countless pupils who through following their paths attain truth, perfection and light, thus proving again the truthfulness of the teachings; the unanimous agreement of the prophets – those most earnest warners – and their followers in all positive matters; their concord, mutual support and affinity – all of this constitutes so powerful a proof that no power on earth can confront it, and no doubt or hesitation can survive it. Our traveller understood further that inclusion of belief in all the prophets (Upon whom be peace) among the pillars of belief, represents another great source of strength. Thus he derived great benefit of faith from their lessons.
In expression of which we said in The Eighth Degree of the First Station: There is no god but Allah, to the Necessity of Whose Existence in Unity points the unanimity of all the prophets, through the power of their luminous miracles, that both affirm and are affirmed.
