One of the purposes of God by creation, is to observe all his names and perfections through the existence of perfect men “Imams (pbuh).â€
God (who owns all perfections) is aware of his perfections.
But the greater pleasure, is to watch these perfections mirrored [in perfect men].
Based on their characteristics, every creature manifests and reflects one or more divine names.
But most creatures are unable to mirror the whole names of God!
Yes! Imams (pbu th) are the very perfect men who are mirror the whole names of God.
He [an Imam (pbuh)] has a material and natural aspect as well as a divine and heavenly aspect
“Jala’e†means to seek existence in yourself, but “Istijla’e†means to seek it in others. “Istijla’e†is the secret of being a perfect man.
“Rational and narrative reasons of imamate and MahdÄ«sm”, P. 143 – 147
