THE FORM OF MANIFESTATION AND THE EXPLANATION OF (THE LIGHT, THE RADIANCE, AND THE SHADOW)

[13]Our greatest master Muhammad, His glory is magnificent, said: "You and I, O Salman, are the two fathers of this nation."

Thus, our master Muhammad, His glory is magnificent, stands in the position of the father—and he is Muhammad the Greater—while our master Salman, peace be upon him, stands in the position of the mother.

And in another context, our master Salman, peace be upon him, can be in the position of the father, while our master al-Miqdad, peace be upon him, is in the position of the mother, since he is the earth, according to His saying, the Exalted: "From it We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time" 1 . And al-Miqdad can be in another context in the position of the [Son] 2 ,
