THE NINETEEN-1

Creation is brought into being at every moment
by the eternal cry of “KUN” (Be!);¹
for this reason, the Qur’an is called
*the Eternal Word (Kalām al-Qadīm).*²

The Qur’an is the inner Adam,
touched through musical notation;
each note is a letter,
read by the saints.

Learn the code while you are alive
from one close to the Truth;
knowledge belonging to the Hereafter
does not change, even if the veil is lifted.

The Name of Allah in the Qur’an appears as
“Li’Llāh – Lahū – Hū.”
“Hū” ends with a long vowel;
the letter Hāʾ is the Breath of Allah.³

The letter H is the sound of breath;
its number corresponds to the Ahl al-Bayt.
Five daily prayers recall these five figures;
send blessings upon them.

When a human exhales, he utters “Hū.”
“Hū” consists of Hāʾ + Wāw,
that is, the sound of “Nineteen.”⁴

When inhaling, one says “Hi.”
Read in Arabic, it becomes “Hūhī,” “Yahweh.”⁵

In Hebrew, these four letters are
Yod – He – Vav – He.
They testify to YHWH,
bearing witness to Adam.

Eleven in total signifies Allah;
eleven again signifies Hū.
ALI is Hū plus zero;
the Spirit of ALI is Hu.

“Hi” equals fifteen;
this is Eve (Ḥawwāʾ), the primordial mother.
The unlettered attribute of Aḥmad
is an allusion to this.⁶

“Unlettered” is a maternal quality;
a saint cannot be ignorant.
The syllable B is the same as Ab:
“Father,” meaning Ali.

Allah is the Light of the heavens:
positive and negative light.
The lover worships
the eternal Father and Mother.

All praise is deserved by Muḥammad and Ali;
this first dual channel issuing from God
is called Lord (Ḥaqq).

Separate the letter B from the Basmala;
do not deny Ali.
From “Raḥman Rahim”
the letter B emerges.

The Qur’an begins with Bismillah,
the Torah with Bereshit.
Surat al-Tawba lacks the Basmala —
understand why.

The first letter of Tawba is B,
equivalent to Bismillah.
B is your first father;
become his child to receive color (life).

The Gospel begins with “En arche” —
“In the beginning.”
First comes the point;
then prostration to B begins.

The first creative word concurrent with Allah is “KUN.”
Creation (kawn) derives from Kun;
the universe as a whole
is the Word “Be.”

In Hebrew and Arabic, B derives from Bayt .
Hieroglyphs depict B
as the image of a house.

Pure Ali was born in the House of God: the Ka‘ba.
Do not call Ali “Allah”;

rather, he is associated with the Name “ar-Raḥman.”

Iblis (Satan) opposed not Allah,
but the letter B.
Thus the Assembly of Lord
separated the knower from the ignorant.

Allah speaks from behind a veil;
His veil is Adam.
Adam is the Face of Allah, al-Wajīh (the Divine Face or Manifest Aspect of God),
whose value is forty-five.⁷

Adam is earth;
his father is Abu Turab (The Earthly Father of the Believers).
Two thousand twenty reduces to zero;
what remains is Lord.

From Dhū al-Jalāl wa’l-Ikrām (The One endowed with Absolute Majesty and Infinite Grace),
remove one zero — it is Ali.
Without zeros, it is Hu;
know this as your essence.

Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn (Lord of all realms) equals five hundred:
the five divine aspects of Allah.
Its manifestation is Muḥammad–Ali.

Why does Allah praise Muḥammad as Rahim?
Because the Name Raḥim
appears fully in him.

B – Name – Allah – Raḥman – Raḥim:
five words of the Basmala.
Like the Ahl al-Bayt ,
one vibration, one essence.

Muḥammad, Ali, Faṭima, Ḥasan, Ḥusayn
are also Nineteen —
clothe yourself in these figures.

Fourteen joints and five nails
form one body.
Prostration ends with Āmīn (Amen),
hands wiped over the face.

Job (Ayyub), the symbol of infinite patience,
equals nineteen.
Allah’s Name Ṣabūr (the Most Patient)
is the same as Raḥman.

Through patience in affliction,
every friend of Lord ascends.
For the torturer, he prays:
“O Lord, forgive him.”

“The Guide is One;
its manifestations are Nineteen.”
Each points to the ego hidden within humanity.

After nineteen years,
the moon becomes a crescent again on the same day.
Crescent shares letters with Allah;
it is the Name of Majesty.

“Muḥammad” and the Arabic word for Nineteen are equal.
The Beloved’s essence is the supreme saint;
proclaim takbīr (God is the Greatest).

Corresponding to the verse
*“Over it are nineteen,”*⁸
two truths color the heart of the friend of Allah:

This number marks the day of descent —
the secret of Muḥammad and Ali,
present in every religion.

Kalām al-Qadīm: the pre-eternal (uncreated) Divine Word. God’s eternal, uncreated speech

KUN: It is the eternal divine command by which God initiates creation. It denotes the coming-into-being of something through divine will, independent of time and causality.

al-Wajīh: al-Wajh does not imply a physical face; it refers to God’s eternal, manifest aspect by which existence is sustained and meaning is oriented. “The Divine Face”: God’s aspect of manifestation and relational presence “That which endures”: As in Qur’ān 55:27 — “All things perish except His Face” (illā wajhahū) “The locus of divine manifestation”: the point where transcendence meets appearance

Dhū al-Jalāl wa’l-Ikrām: The One endowed with Absolute Majesty and Infinite Grace

Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn: Lord of all realms

Ahl al-Bayt: The süper-abstract supremes of God’s house.
