The true Greatest Name (ism-i-a'zam) symbol
30-Apr-2009

In the Name of the Godhead the Compassionate, the Merciful!
Praised be the Godhead the Lord of all the Worlds, the Master of the Greatest Name, the God of all gods, the Light of all lights, the Light of the Heavens, the Light of the earth, the Light of what is in between them indeed the Light of all the Worlds! Glorified, the Holy, Lord of the Angels and the Spirit; the Lord of the Seen, the Lord of the Unseen, the Lord of all the Worlds! And the Splendor of the Godhead be upon the First Unity and salutations and blessings be upon the true Messenger Prophets and the Providential Guides in every moment, before every moment and after every moment! Amen!
In 2008 the wikipedia contingency of the Baha'i Internet Agency successfully lobbied to have one of the articles I had submitted removed from wikipedia. This was an article on the Hebreo-Islamic graphic symbol of the Greatest Name of God (ism allah al-a'zam), also known as the Seal of Solomon (khitam sulayman): a symbol which from quite early on plays a major part in the history of Islamic esotericism, especially in magic and the occult. In one sense this symbol represents to the Shi'ite gnostic ('irfani) or Sufi what the Tetragrammaton represents to the Jewish mystic and Kabbalist. Since one of the contentions of the Baha'i faith is that it, and it alone, is the bearer of the Greatest Name (which they claim is the word baha', i.e. splendor), it is understandable why they should seek to have the wikipedia article removed, since it sheds a different light on matters and largely contradicts their present narrative on the question. It should be noted, however, that to his credit, Iranian Baha'i scholar and Hand of the Cause, Fazel Mazandarani, did in fact recognize this present symbol as the original Greatest Name symbol (see, Asrar al-Ayat) as do Baha'i academics Todd Lawson and Stephan Lambden. Thanks to Will Johnson and his Royal Web, the article deleted from wikipedia can now be found in its final version here.
Although a version of the symbol is known within the Jewish Hekhalot (seven palaces) or Merkavah (throne chariot) mystical literature of the immediate pre-Islamic era (to which it is, inter alia, known as Solomon's Seals and attributed to the Archangel Metatron or Yahoel, i.e. the Lesser YHWH; see also Aryeh Kaplan Meditation and Kabbalah, 1989), in its present Islamicized form it derives from a poem attributed to the first Shi'ite Imam 'Ali (as). The poem in translation runs as follows:
Three sticks in a row after a seal; above them the semblance of a straightened lance.
Then a blind ‘mîm’ without a tail, then a ladder unto all that is hoped for, but which is not a ladder.
Four things like fingers in a row pointing to good deeds, but without a wrist.
And a ‘hâ’ that has been split, then an inverted `wâw’ like the syphon of a phlebotomist, but not a blood-letting cup.
This is the name whose worth is magnified; if you were ignorant of it before, know it now.
O bearer of the great name, take sufficiency in it – you shall be preserved from misfortunes and shall be kept safe.
It is the [secret] name of God, may His glory be glorified, unto all men, be they Arab or non-Arab!
In early 2008 I composed an esoteric commentary of my own on the meaning of this Greatest Name symbol, a commentary which can be found here.
Although I had decided to leave this forum for good given the panoply of nefarious forces running this site, since I left others have pressed on me incessantly to return here in order that the Baha'i contingency not have an exclusive information monopoly on the issues. Since most wars are fought and won on the level of symbolism, and since my struggle against Haifan Bahaism is very much a war against a symbolic manifestation of evil, I hereby mark my return to this forum with this piece on the true symbol of the Greatest Name of God (ism allah al-a'zam).
No power and no strength is there save in the Godhead, the High, the Mighty, and the Living, the Protector, the Peerless!

by NUR on Sun May 03, 2009 10:15 PM PDT"I was a prophet sent to myself from Myself, and it is my own self, by my own signs, who was guided to Myself" - Ibn Farid
Whosoever rises in each age as the sincere, articulate defender of the true Greatest Name of God (ism allah al-a'zam) is the Muhammad of his/her age in his/her central column; the Fatima of his/her age on his/her righthand pillar; and the 'Ali of his/her age on his/her lefthand pillar! His/her limbs are Adam and Eve; his/her senses are Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Elijah and Jesus! Through him/her flows the Light (nur) of the People of the House (ahl al-bayt) Who are the Theophanies (tajalliyat) of the Face of the Godhead (waj'ullah)! He/she is the manifestation of the Voice of the everlasting siniatic Tree of Reality (shajarat'ul-haqiqa) eternally burning atop the summit of Mount Qaf, and in each Age (dawr) and in each Cycle (kawr) the Almighty Living Godhead leaves a proof (hujjat) to this world, and all the worlds! Recognized or not, silent or active, the Proof of the Godhead (hujjat'ullah) must always exist to mirror the Divine Will (mashiya) in a human vehicle, and without her/him this world would cease to exist! He/she is the Pole of the Age (qutb-i-zaman) and the full manifestation to the people of the Muhammadan Light (nur muhammadiya) that is Fatimiyyic Light (nur fatimiya) that is the 'Alawid Light (nur 'alawiya)! As such he/she is the human embodiment of the Quranic verse "there is no god but It, all-things perish but Its Face" (la ilaha illa huwa kullu-shay'in halik illa wajhahu) (28:88)!

I am not a prophet!
by tonamiry (not verified) on Sun May 03, 2009 08:00 PM PDTSure you are. who else could speak to the dusky one warbling and actually write about it and produce cummandments not just one but nineteen.
What you say is nur coming from nur.
that is nure ala nur, (Nur' i, al'a nur).
You are being modest right!
Dont worry about convincing Reza41 (Riza) that your cummandments take the place of other books.
There is an ocean of wisdom (Hik,mat) in every word of yours. You were born like this with knowledge, Irfan, give the audience more.
I am not a prophet
by NUR on Sun May 03, 2009 07:15 PM PDTI have never specifically claimed to be a prophet (nabi). Muhammad Mustafa (sws) is the khatim'ul-nabiyyin (Seal of the Prophets). But the end of the office and function of prophecy is not the end of the function of providential guidance (wilaya) and mirrorhood (miratiya).
Furthermore, the archetype of Muhammad (sws), 'Ali (as) and Fatima (as), is a singular divine archetype which will continue into the indefinite future. Whoever comes divinely guided will come divinely guided under the shadow of the archetype of these three central figures of the People of the House. As such the Divine Guidance (irshad-i-ilahi) is in this present universal cycle Muhammadi-'Alawi-Fatimi. Together these three-in-one Immutable Forms or Theophanic archetypes reflect the Singular Divine Light, i.e. NUR.

by NUR on Sun May 03, 2009 06:53 PM PDTHello,
I have analyzed your photograph and forensically reconstructed it from all the photoshopping you did to it. The final product and the reconstructed photo of yourself is the following,

This photograph shows that even if the person in it is not a card-carrying Bahai, they are nevertheless prime candidate for immediate recruitment.

Ya I guess this prophet nur took care of kha'Tam,ool'naby'yeen. It was afterall a misunderstanding of the text.
you should all thank nur for resolving this one verse that has been the cause of so much problem.
What do you think. he even got his own cumandments and is bigger than ula'maa,'.
Wahid, Can You Please Analyze This Photo?
by Anonymous Observer on Fri May 01, 2009 08:25 AM PDTHere is a picture of me. Can you please analyze it to see if I am a Bahai? It's something that has been bothering me for a while. I think my parents were secret Bahais and they passed on the dirty genes to me. So, please, please, please tell me the truth....I hope I'm wrong...otherwise, I'll be a...God, I don't want to even think about it. Here's the picture anyway:

Look Souri, your game is transparent
by NUR on Thu Apr 30, 2009 09:18 PM PDTYour silly taqiyya and games fall on deaf ears on my end. I know what you are.
Now let's look at the following. In this blog here, you say,
//iranian.com/main/blog/souri-22
"This has been posted in face book, by one of the friends." You then proceed to post some poems, etc, but the terminology you use to introduce the piece is blatant Baha'i diction and terminology. The friends rather a friend or friends is what you use. Give us all a break yourself!
As for JJ, I accused him of being in the pocket of the Haifan Baha'is, not being one.

Dear Souri,
by Passe By (not verified) on Thu Apr 30, 2009 09:13 PM PDTFinally you figured him out - - you almost fall for this sicko didn't you? I remember you felt so sorry for him when he told you what he had to go through with his relatives that they beat him up and other lies. Now you know what Baha'is have to go through every day I mean every day of their lives in Iran dealing with sick minded, bloodthirsty, and hate monger people like NUR and Reza 41 for 160 years. Believe me what I am telling you is true but Baha'is never ask anybody to feel sorry for them they are always happy no matter what-- all they want is peace and justice for all. Baha’is have lots of enemies but they are not the enemy of anybody not even people like NUR and Reza 41. This NUR is an example of the reason why Baha'i Faith has to protect itself by simply ask to correct yourself or leave the faith and make sure the faith is protected from people like him. Souri e aziz tell us how do you deal with someone like NUR if you were a Baha'i ?
In Iran, beside imprisonment and killing, they write hateful articles full of lies about the Bahai Faith everyday and have anti-Bahai TV programs, propaganda and lies in the mosques even during nemaze jomeh at Tehran University and other universities, lies in elementary, middle and high schools all over the Country and the Baha’is are not allowed to say or write anything to defend themselves; can you imagine that?
Here in Iranian.com the only few places that the Baha’is are free to express themselves and are trying to educate Iranians particularly those in Iran whom read, watch and listen to the Mullahs about the truth of their faith. But even here we have to deal with them as you have noticed.
Regards
PB,
Sophia
by Passer By (not verified) on Thu Apr 30, 2009 08:10 PM PDTNo one seems to like to make any comments on the garbage and arajief posted by NUR. I am in fact waiting for yours. It appears that you don't want to say anything about the content of your own garbage you posted here. Where were you when NUR was gone? as far as I am concern, NUR and Reza 41 are two sick minded bloodthirsty hatemonger individuals who need lots of mental help; may God forgive their sins va be rah rast hedayteshoon koneh.

Listen Nur!
by Souri on Thu Apr 30, 2009 07:42 PM PDTAlthough I don't need to answer your idiot question, but will try for a last time to reason you.
I was among the very few people here who said you seem to have a knowledge. Now, if you want to ridicule yourself by saying absurdities, be my guest!
I don't care what you want to do with your reputation. Actually you don't care about your image and the credentiability of your statement.
If you like to make a fool of yourself and play the clown here, go ahead. Who am I to object ?
I, only talk to the serious and normal persons. Can't waste time with the idiot and their conspiracies.
BTW, if you are a prophet as you are pretending, why would you need to show my picture to others? Just contact your God and ask him the reality about me.
You say I am a Bahai, JJ is Bahai , TheMrs is Bahai, Masood and all others who talked to you are the Bahai....but, dear prophet, actually this is a site for the Bahais run by the Bahais, then what are you doing here? You are in the wrong place!
Give me a break, okay?
Yes, I am trying to drive the Haifan Baha'is out of the market
by NUR on Thu Apr 30, 2009 07:26 PM PDTIndeed I am trying to drive the Haifan Baha'is out of the market, i.e. dareh dokooneshanro mikhaham bebandam, maybe at some point even do a hostile takeover! But this isn't about jealousy, since at one point I was a card-carrying Haifan Baha'i myself. It is about pure justice and being in the face of the most dangerous, power hungry cult on the planet!
To the person who wants to start a Sourcewatch article on me and the Bayanis, by all means go right ahead! The last time you cultists tried this the entry you put up was deleted within 24 hours by the site administrators.
To Souri: maybe the reason why most of the supporting comments are anonymous are because they are people posting from Iran who can't actually get accounts here. But that aside, you evaded one of my questions before I left the last time: I showed the picture that you use as your avatar here to someone who knows a lot of Persian Baha'is. After one look at your picture, they said that you and most of your family are longstanding Baha'is. If this is true, why are you pretending here to be something else? Why are you doing taqiyya?
Reza: Ok, I'll try to ignore the more ridiculous comments by this mob, especially the one from that akaleh who needs to spend time in the gym.
