THE SUPREMACY OVER BAD AND INDECENT NATURES

DURING THE TIME OF REAPPEARANCE OF THE HOLY IMAM

DUE TO THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM

The good friends of Allah and the special companion of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) that has attained rank of perfection due to exertion, programs and the resort of what has been done in them, because the indecent natures that exist before reaching perfection shall be subdued and all their evil nature will be rationally subjugated. This is a natural issue that the wisdom which is perfected will not only be exerted upon evil but in addition the evil nature will be subjugated just as the honourable commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) has said: 

«والعقل الكامل قاهر الطبع السوء».

 

"And the perfect wisdom will subdue the evil nature"[1]

Base on this the perfected wisdom will subjugate the entire evils even those whose essence are evils will be subjugated by power of their intellect.

The attractive point which we can deduced from this statement of the commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) is that it is possible for the perfected ones among the good friends of Allah and those that possessed perfected wisdom and intellect, before they reach the elevated position and possession of important and vital ranks has evil nature, meanwhile this is glad tiding for those having bad natures that they should not be in despair because with supplication and personal struggle they will attain stage of perfection, even in this same narration the commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) has made an illustration on practical programs for those who wanted to reach perfection, he said:

«وعلى العاقل أن يحصي على نفسه مساويها في الدين والرأي والأخلاق والأدب فيجمع ذلك في صدره أو في كتاب ويعمل في إزالتها».

"It is upon a wise one to account for his evil in religion, opinion, moral and culture; he should kept them in his heart or pamphlet and act upon its elimination"[2]

This is an attractive program which is orered by the commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him), i.e.  he has ordered the wise ones to write down their committed mistakes and struggle to obviate them, if this order is implemented it will take person to an elevated rank and shorten the long ways of spiritual perfection, because base on the impact of this act it will increase your experience and whoever has attained much experience will increase in wisdom and whoever has increased in wisdom will easily and quickly trek one hundred years path in a very short time.

Increase in wisdom base on the impact of experience is an important point the commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) has stressed at the beginning of a narration when he says:

«العقل عقلان، عقل الطبع وعقل التجربة وكلاهما يؤدي إلى المنفعة».

"There are two types of wisdom: natural wisdom and wisdom out of experience; and verily both of it leads to usefulness"[3]

Base on this, beside the wisdom that is essence and innate there exist another wisdom which is base on experiments that is attained by person through experience and it also increases just as Imam Ali (Peace be upon him) has said concerning the two wisdoms whether that of wisdom in essence or the wisdom attained through experience, although both of them result to benefits and usefulness.

What is totally deduced from this narration are as follows:

1- There are two types of wisdom, they are: wisdom in essence and wisdom base on experience.

2- Just as wisdom in essence makes humanbeing to attain benefits likewise the wisdom attained through experience.

3- It is compulsory upon a wise person to take note of his evils in his moral and religion and to struggle in its obviation.

4- Person should not be despair due to the mistakes that are previously committed and should not also be despair from attaining an elevated ranks rather he must learn from the saying and advice of the commander of the faithful (Peace be upon him) and should have hope for the future meanwhile he should also struggle in order to reach and attain an elevated rank in future.

5- From the beginning the entire good friends of Allah and the special companion of the holy household of the holy Prophet (Peace be upon them) doesn't possess tremendous essence and sound natures but they attain that through struggle.

6- The evil nature of a complete wise man or good friends of Allah is subjugated by power of his wisdom and intellect.

7- Anybody who has obtained a complete and perfect wisdom has possessed an elevated rank because the person having perfect wisdom and sound nature has connection with the kingdom of the heaven and in turn become a heavenly person. Likewise the person who has a clear mind and possess divine light by the means of this very divine light he envisage reality.

Almighty Allah said:

{أَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَهُ لِلإِسْلامِ فَهُوَ عَلَى نُورٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَوَيْلٌ لِلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مِنْ ذِكرِ اللَّهِ أُولَئِك فِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ}.

{Is someone whose breast Allah has opened to Islam so that he follows a light from his Lord? So woe to those whose hearts have been hardened to the remembrance of Allah they are in manifest error}[4]

Verily the one who has reached perfection in wisdom is the person whose eyes of their heart envisage and they were rescued from blind of the mind which is worst part of blindness.

يقول رسول الله صلی الله علیه وآله: «شرّ العمى عمى القلب».

The holy Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon him and his family) said: "The worst of blindness is that of the heart"[5]
