The 13th Sign In the name of Allah the Exalted, the Most High, the Beneficent the Intensely Merciful. As Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu Ya Imam e Zaman Ya Adriknii! May the eternal Blessings of Allah (swt) be upon Muhammad (s.a.w) and his Progeny, The Ahul Bayt, The Imams and The Mahdis (as.) Allah humma sale'Allah Muhammadin wa'ale Muhammad Wal aemma wal mahdiyeen wasalim tasleemun katheera Praise be to Allah, Lord of all Creation, The Compassionate, the Merciful, King of Judgmentday! You alone we worship, and to You alone we pray for help. Guide us to the straight path, The path of those whom You have favored, Not of those who have incurred Your wrath, Nor of those who have gone astray. *** "We shall show them our signs on the horizons and within themselves until it will become apparent to them, that it is the truth, is your Lord not sufficient since He is witness over all things?" (Qur'an Ch. 41 V:53) As seekers of the truth, we must consider the path toward the inner more intensely then what is reflected on the surface, to penetrate the many degrees until the core can be reached, the inner truth, mirrored by the phenomena and the multiplicity within nature, in the hope to discover, with the guidance of Allah (swt), more of the mysteries within creation and the divine purpose of existence.

So enter houses through their proper doors, and fear Allah that you may be successful." By investigating the deeper meanings that emerge from the hidden and more enigmatic unseen realms, we are able to better comprehend the subtle movements behind an action or event. Events on earth are reflected in events in the stars, when we see the correlations that take place around us a new world By: Yasmine Fatemi  unfolds. This increases the depth of our faith and trust in the Divine Plan of Allah (swt). We begin to become more 'Godcentric'. God is the circle and each messenger is a radius that leads back into the center; we cannot exist outside the parameters of the sacred circle because from the physical to the atomic levels, we are in an ocean of atoms. Our smallest physical level is your atom and it submits to Allah (swt). Within its nucleus all the electrons are circumbulating. This is the 'circle of life' and there is no escaping it. "The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere." Plato The messengers are the Pillars of Creation; they hold the 'circle of faith' together, without them there would be no circle. Allah (swt) created everything in creation only for the love of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s). They deliver the message as they are the only creations who can 'handle' and ground these energies into the tangible world, the inner secrets of creation and the knowledge, if it were not for the Imams (a.s), knowledge would have found no claimer. Even the mountains would crumble in the presence of the
