Shafaqna English- Islamic Lectures by Dr Shomali: “Human Being” (Part 4) delivered by Sheikh Shomali on 3 October 2025.
In brief, this part focuses on the nature of the Universe of Command (Alam-al-Amr) and its relationship with the material world and its creatures.

Purity of the Universe of Command (Alam-al-Amr): It is entirely composed of pure light and is free from the limitations, darkness, and deficiencies of the material world (Alam-al-Khalq).
Existence by Divine Command Only: Beings in Alam-al-Amr (like the Spirit and angels) exist solely through God’s absolute Command (Amr); meaning they only require Allah (SWT) to say “Be! (Kun)” without any need for material causes.
Inalterable Decrees (Kalimat): The realities within Alam-al-Amr are referred to as Allah’s (SWT) Words (Kalimat) or decisive decrees because they are fixed and unchangeable. There is no alteration in them unlike changeable material things.
Angels’ Purity: Angels are beings of Amr and are thus pure in both their essence (Dhat) and their actions (Fi’l). They are honored servants who only act according to Allah’s (SWT) Command lacking personal desires or flaws.
Source of Human Imperfection: The angels understood the potential for mischief and bloodshed in humanity from the phrase “on the earth” (Fil-Ard), realizing that the darkness and limitations of the earth would affect the human essence, leading to problematic actions.
Essence Dictates Action: The lecturer emphasizes that for pure beings like angels, their pure essence dictates pure actions, meaning it’s “impossible” for a being with an essence like an angel to commit mischief or shed blood.
Hierarchy of Perfection: The universe of Amr is comprised of multiple, hierarchical levels. While all levels are above material defects, the higher levels possess perfections in a more honourable and transcendent way.
