(In a tafseer, Al-Kawthar is an indication of the abundance of good things that Allah swt Has Prepared for him, and of their continuance and increase, and their eminence and elevation, and that the river that is al-Kawthar, it is the greatest of the rivers of Paradise, and the purest in its water, the most pleasant-tasting, the sweetest and the highest.) And the Spring of Kauthar is Fatimah and that which comes from her is the embodiment and spirit of its pure waters. As for the souls who follow the Ahlul Bayt a.s (ie. lovers of Ali (a.s) and the sons of Fatima a.s), they will gather at the Pool of Kauthar as they are the souls made of the sweet waters and are 'flowers' of the Sacred tree of paradise. The Messenger of Allah s.a.w said: "I will be at the Pool of Kawthar on the Day of Judgement and you, O Ali, will distribute the water. Hasan will keep people away from the Pool; Hussain will give the orders; Ali bin Husain will be the enforcer; Mohammad bin Ali will be the revealer; Jaafar bin Mohammad will be the driver; Musa bin Ja'far will be counting the lovers and the resentful, and he will be the destroyer of the hypocrites; Ali bin Musa will beautify the believers; Mohammad bin Ali will award degrees to the inhabitants of Paradise; Ali bin Mohammad will be the preacher of his Shia and he will marry them from HUR ALEEN, “Pure maidens with big beautiful eyes” (56:22); Hasan bin Ali will be the light of the inhabitants of Paradise - they will see with his light; and the Qaem will be the intercessor who will ask Allah to allow them (the believers) to enter Paradise on the Day of Judgement, a day on which Allah will accept only the intercession of those with whom He is pleased." Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said: "O Ali, there will be twelve Imams and after them there will be twelve Mahdi’s.” – The Will, mentioned in Chaykh Tawssi, Ghayba li Tawssi p. 150 and more sources. And having reached the end of the night and age of darkness each hour has a marker as each month has a star formation highlighting the dark skies, the darkness of the night has in each of its hours a caller and reminder of the final hour and to the caller of the hour. Imam Ali (a.s) is the first of the twelve hours of night. And the 12th Imam Muhammad Al Mahdi a.s is the dawn of the new day, and there is an hour between dawn and the sun rising. Abi Al Hassan (a.s): "The hours of night are 12, and between dawn to the sunrise is an hour, and the hours of night are 12" Khisal Sheikh AlSadooq p.488 It says in Surat AlMudather 33-34 "And by the Night as it retreateth" [The Night ie. the nation of darkness and injustice The 12 Hours of Night are the 12 Imams] "And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, " [The transition of Night to Day is the beginning of the era and nation of Justice and Enlightenment, the Yamani a.s will live a part of the night and part of the day, he rises to pave the way for Imam Al Mahdi (a.s) who is the Dawn which will be ruled by 12 Mahdiyoon a.s after him]. Some pondering and insights Everything in creation follows a blue print, a beautiful pattern for discovery through creation to know the supreme Creator and Designer and to have deeper insight and revelation of the Greatness of Allah (swt) a system that never strays from its course, obeying its divine instructions, perfectly aligned and balanced with the whole, with its layers of mystique embedded for even more intrigue and for the more curious seeker a never ending thread of unraveling truth in symbols and signs expressed in the unfoldment of life within our own life and on a universal platform. How perfectly things work together for the same purpose of expansion and growth toward higher existence and transformation of itself to something new and better. It follows a superior system that reflects in the universal whole down to the smallest individual cell. And here we are given a divine formula for living life here to gain its complete benefits for the hereafter- the highest transformation and transference of energy, from dense to subtle from low to high, from dark being to light being, we have been given as a special Mercy from the Designer, for the human being to reach higher then any other creation in the earth and heavens and that is his completion in becoming fully human here on earth. could it have been more straightforward? I have often wondered what humanity would be like if only human beings had followed the sacred and desired course that was divinely set for them and navigated their Sovereign souls through the traps of the ego by attuning their will to the Will of God, and reached further their intended destiny. If only we had understood that the steps to Enlightenment require willingness and surrendering to the higher self for the sacred consciousness as the flower of expanding life opens like a lotus blossom ever moving toward its Creator, fertile soil/soul for the seeds wisdom of higher understanding and deeper 58
