Question:
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah
Hope you are well. I just have one questions regarding the Jawharat al al Kamal on the salawat page on your website. In the following line:
is it الحااطَ or الحااطِ ? because I have seen both. Which is the correct version?. Please clarify.P.S:- Forgive me if this is a stupid question since I don’t know Arabic.
Jazakallahu khayran
Answer:
Waalaykumussalam warahmatullah wabarakatuh,
The nur of Allah here has three successive epithets: اللامعَ then الذي ملأت به كونك and then الحائط بأمكنة المكاني so all three have the same genitive case as نورِك therefore it is الحائطِ . The latter is not an epithet for كونَك as the drift is all about the nur.
