When we live in time and space and try to understand that which is above all else with our limited Human Intellect which is itself a creation of Allah, this type of post is what results.
The concept of a limited human intellect being able to understanding God is inherently flawed.
Our entire existance is contingent upon him and He is completely independent of all else.
He is above and beyond our highest evolved thought. Al- Muta'ali is one of the Names of Allah. Along with As-Samad and Al-Ahad.
We have lived our entire lives in the realm of time, Eternity is a concept we cannot even fathom.
The humility required in this search comes as you progress in it and eventually realize that you are so insignificant against his Vastness that you give up your Identity in the process and become fana (annihilated).
"Mai aur tu ki doori cchor, Ek dekh kuch do nahin
Aisa samaj fana ho usme, tu nahi to woh sahi hai.
Think of a bubble floating in the air. What comparision is the air inside it to the rest of the atmosphere.
The bubble cannot even fathom the vastness of the atmosphere of this earth.
Now, when the bubble bursts it becomes one with the atmosphere. The only thing between its identity and the Vast Air around it was it's identity itself.
This example is a MINISCULE one compared to the vastness of Allah and our limited selves.
I believe the search to be to recognize the self and discover that our identity is in fact nothing but a spiritual delusion. (A false belief that we exist as seperate from Allah)
The waves in the Ocean may think themselves to be seperate from the ocean and argue with each other on the Forums of Ismaili.net but they were never, are not and never will be seperated from the Vast Limitless Ocean of Allah.
So let us progress towards discovering self instead of trying to Understand Him, Who defies Human understanding as he is above and beyond the Human Imagination.

Please answer to the point and do not divert from the subject matter. Further, please do not bring the ginans into the picture because ginan is a different subject and further the ginan you quote does not pertain to "BE".
I am repeating my posting (which was a reply to your posting):
You had earlier mentioned:
036.082
YUSUFALI: Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is!
PICKTHAL: But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that He saith unto it: Be! and it is.
SHAKIR: His command, when He intends anything, is only to say to it: Be, so it is.
Are you still going to insist that creation was not from one word?
I gave you my reply:

I think the reference is to the fact that all of Creation is from Farman. and if we are to "uncreate", to go back to where we came from, then the path is through the Farman of the Creator i.e. Imame Mubeen.

Please quote my posting reference star_munir and then say what you want to say. The farman you are refering to - in fact just discussed here or some other forum about that bhut parast - makes thing clear and mention about rooh being the Noor. So your no.1 and no.2 "rooh" refers to Noor. I had gone through the postings and If i remember right - shamsu was terming rooh = soul and not noor. If i remember right Shamsu was mentioning soul cannot get corrupt and then he himself came up with a ginan and later admitted that soul does get corrupt and that is that.
Shamsu did not term rooh as a noor - which the farman makes it clear but he went on terming rooh as soul - do you think this is proper star_munir, more so, since sultan mohd shah mentioned that it is noor.
On the other hand - shamsu in some of the forum/s has been refering "farman" as "noor" = you know everyone farmans (says) one way or another and in their farman (saying) it is possible sometimes very wrong and improper words are used = so farman cannot be a noor because noor is pure - but it appears shamsu is bent on saying it is a noor.
So why say things without proper basis inasmuch as things have been made very clear by way of sultan mohd shah farman about bhut parast that rooh = His noor? Do I hear you now saying that Soul is Noor ???? Go head - let us have clean discussion.

Ya Aly Madad,
How would you understand "Rooh"
The word Rooh means multiple things in Arabic.
Rooh can be Soul
Rooh can be Spirit
Rooh can mean Essence
Rooh can mean life force.
Rooh can be used in a different context for example " Ramzan ke jane se party ka rooh nikal gaya"
It is important to understand the context in which the word is used.

Soul and Spirit. You are wrong here because Quran clearly reveals that Allah has made human beings from His soul. Already we have discussed this quoting Quran verses and Mawlana Hazar Imam's Farman taking into account Quran verse.
ACCORDING TO YOU :
Soul and spirit cannot be corrupted if they both exist together in one entity. It is to be noted that in all ordinary humans who are living there is a soul and a spirit - which farman mention that in human there is only soul and no spirit of Allah? So both will exist together in one entity. As per the ismaili tariqah soul can get corrupted - you had produced the ginans in earlier posting somewhere and the spirit is the light of mawlana hazar imam (remember that bhut parast farman) and the noor does not get corrupted.
The point is you agreed here that soul and spirit are two different things.

"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
Here is the context in which this ayat was revealed
25. Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge.
26. We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;
27. And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.

29. "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
30. So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:
31. Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
32. ((Allah)) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"
33. (Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."
34. ((Allah)) said: "Then get thee out from here; for thou art rejected, accursed.
35. "And the curse shall be on thee till the day of Judgment."
36. (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."
37. ((Allah)) said: "Respite is granted thee
38. "Till the Day of the Time appointed."
39. (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong,-
40. "Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)."
41. ((Allah)) said: "This (way of My sincere servants) is indeed a way that leads straight to Me.
42. "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."
43. And verily, Hell is the promised abode for them all!

You are wrong here - God has not created anyone physically. Earlier you mentioned that God created everyone with his word and I proved that this was not so. There is a farman of mawlana hazar imam which mention soul is created and is given a physical form. I also gave a farman of hazar imam quoting the relevant verse of the quran in this regard. For your infomation God is not depended on any other to create a thing and his creation is not physical. In fact he is the First - there was no one except him. Juch as he created heavens and the earth from his own source, he created human being and quran is clear that he created human being from a single soul. He is not depended on others including his own creation for creating human being. Do you mean to say that god has taken a partner to create us such as clay and what not ? Please do not ascribe partners with God vis-a-vis creation - and what kind of partners you are ascribing - clay .... if i continue i might get sick.

How can only BE be sufficient. So here only BE is not sufficient - BE but what BE ?
Here is something from Memoirs of Aga Khan III
There is a fundamental difference between the Jewish idea of creation and that of Islam. The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists. [Memoirs]
-- Aga Khan III
Mowla Bapa has said that in each line of his farman there are thousands of meanings. To get only one thousand meanings from this paragraph you will have to re-read it 1000 times. Do you think I am right about this.
How does Imam express his wish?
Answer: In his Farman.
Therefore Imam creates with his Farman.
Hence all creation is Farman of Mowla.
You are a Farman of Mowla.
I am a Farman of Mowla.
Babul Missionary is a Farman of Mowla.
Mowla Aly calls himself The Supreme Kalaam.
"I am the sign of the Most High, I am the Gnosis of Mysteries, I am the Door of the doors, I am the First and the Last. I am the Manifest and the Hidden. I am the creator. I give birth to the world and I destroy it as I wish. I am the face of God, I am the Supreme Kalam." (Mowlana Hazrat Ali, Khubat al-Bayan. From a total of 70 such declarations, partially quoted in H.Corbin "Histoire de la philosophie islamique", Paris 1964, page 77.)

"at every moment by His will and His thought" - so now you agree to what I have been saying earlier.
Then you mention: Mowla Bapa has said that in each line of his farman there are thousands of meanings. To get only one thousand meanings from this paragraph you will have to re-read it 1000 times. Do you think I am right about this.
----------------------
There are thousands of meanings you know. There are thousands and thousands of people and in that there are good people and there are bad people and people take the meaning according to their own character. OK. Thousands of people will say this is the meaning and another thousands will say this is the meaning - OK. You can refer to the relevant farman.
At the same time - sultan mohd shah said what he says is final - because he knows everything. putting your intellect against his intellect is not needed - OK.
Then you mention:
How does Imam express his wish?
Answer: In his Farman.
---- Now from where did you get this idea. Then there should be millions and millions and millions of farmans - hey where are all the millions and millions and millions of farman gone ??? come on start looking for all those farmans - you are good in collecting the farmans - right ? (You may also note the farman I quoted below).
Then you mention: Babul Missionary is a Farman of Mowla.
---------------------
You mean he said BE and there he was - you heard mawla said "BE" right.
So creation is not by will and thought - but by "BE". Without BE his will and thought are of no use - right? He just cannot will or thought unless and until he BE BE BE right ? God's farman has more power than God right? This is what you mean to say.
Shamsu - you agreed quran is the farman - right and you quoted from the Quran and now I am quoting from the Quran which mention Allah's is the whole command and not the Quran.
Al-Rad, or Thunder (XIII)
31) Had it been possible for a Quran to cause the mountains to move, or the earth to be torn as under, or the dead to speak, (this Quran would have done so). Nay, but Allah's is the whole command. ==
So when quran is not the command - then, by will and thought he creates.
No need to say anything in a physical/material sense:
Al-Qamar - 54
49) Verily all things have We created in proportion and measure.
50) And Our command is but a single (Act) like the twinkling of an eye.
I hope this settles the matter - OK.
You also mention:
Mowla Aly calls himself The Supreme Kalaam.
"I am the sign of the Most High, I am the Gnosis of Mysteries, I am the Door of the doors, I am the First and the Last. I am the Manifest and the Hidden. I am the creator. I give birth to the world and I destroy it as I wish. I am the face of God, I am the Supreme Kalam." (Mowlana Hazrat Ali, Khubat al-Bayan. From a total of 70 such declarations, partially quoted in H.Corbin "Histoire de la philosophie islamique", Paris 1964, page 77.)[/quote]
------------------------------
---- the things you quoted - Is this a farman shamsu ? Has mawlana hazar imam authorised this as the farman. You know the date of the farman is missing - you know the farmans have dates.
