The Halal on a Gnostic mirror  

They ask you about the Halal to be enlightened in its meadows, guided by the lights of its lamps, to drink from the water its abundant fresh cool water. Tell them: the core of the existence is the seeking movement that makes the part move with desire and passion to the whole. A gentle, essential and pure movement to reach the highest peace, the most eminent in the ascent aims. Who is honored by god to understand their meanings, and is enlightened by the light of their wisdom, will be on the threshold of what God permitted and made it a way to survive in the journey of experience and choice, so he may be purified by the truths and separated from its dense clay to his gentle world, so he will become a transparent light among the escort of that light which shines and does not burn, guides and does not mislead. The light that shone by giving back the tranquility and the certain peace to the core of the highest mind then spread to all the creatures that sought the protection of their master so they walked in the courtyards of his residence, and sat in the shadow of his glorious protection trees. It is the Halal that granted its holders honor, vision, friendship and selection. They walked on earth straight guided by a light illuminating their paths, distinguishing the allowed from the forbidden and right from wrong.    

They were purified by the spirit and basil breeze, by the wisdom of the mind and the thought that enlightened all the universes, and lead them to guidance and faith, so they were influenced by beauty and majesty of their beloved, by the grace and charity, so they abandoned the ornament of the present life and thought to the exactitude of meanings, waiting the certain promise mentioned in other religions feeling the truth of the even and odd nights, and the morning of ten nights until that dawn when the unity suns shine on the thrones of the beloved passionate hearts.

All that by following the trace from the original source to take the Gnosticism path where the glory is by the call of the truth: the Master led you and us and put the allowed love in your hearts.

It is the Halal that purified the souls of the beloved with the love of the lover so the knower drowned in soliloquizing his lover knowing very well that without the call of the beloved all the lovers would have stayed deaf unable to hear, without his speech everybody will have been stayed dumb unable to talk and without the light they wouldn’t have seen the glory of beauty and would not have been drowned in the sea of his lights. Without the transfiguration on the thrones of hearts, those hearts would not have been tranquilized, familiarized and settled in the heart of happiness, and happiness would not have been settled in their heart.
