The Taste of Hidden Things Book

"[...] 'He who sees me sees the Truth' (man raani faqad raa al-Haqq). There, in fact, lies the mystery of 'prophetic' manifestation, and it is known that according to Hebrew tradition, aslo, Metatron is both the agent of 'theophanies' and the very principle of prophecy, which, expressed in Islamic language, amounts to saying that he is none other than ar-Ruh al-muhammadiyyah [the spirit of Muhammad], within which all the prophets and divine messengers are one, and which, in the 'lower world,' finds its ultimate expression in him who is their 'seal' (Khatim al-anbiai wa'l-mursalin), that is, the one who reunites them into one final synthesis that is the reflection of their principial unity in the 'higher world' (where it is awwal Khalqi' Llah, the last in the manifested order by being analogically the first in the principial order), and who is thus the 'lord of the first and the last' (seyyid al-awwalin wa'l-akhirin). It is thus and only thus that all the names and titles of the Prophet can be understood in their profundity, which names, in fact, are those of 'Universal Man' (al-Insan al Kamil), ultimately totalizing in him all the degrees of Existence as they have all ben contained in him since the beginning : alayhi salatu Rabbil 'Arshi dawman, 'May the prayer of the Lord of the Throne be upon him forever!'
