The Holy Prophet sa compared prophethood to a
brick wall. And the wall was complete, except the
place of one brick, and the Holy Prophet sa , himself,
was that last brick. However, the Holy Prophet sa only
saw it as one brick, just as he said it. And the Khātamul-Awliyā’
(that is, the Imām Mahdī) should see that
he also finds prophethood similar to a wall, just as
the Holy Prophet sa has given the analogy. And the
Khātam-ul-Awliyā’ finds empty a place for two bricks
in the wall of prophethood. One is a gold brick and
the other is a silver brick. Hence, without the two
bricks, he finds the wall incomplete. With the
insertion of these, that is, the gold and silver bricks,
he finds it completed. Hence, it is necessary that he
sees himself as hidden in the place of both bricks.
Now, the Khātam-ul-Awliyā’ is the two bricks and
the wall is completed with him. The reason behind
seeing the Khātam-ul-Awliyā’ in the place of two
bricks is that he is subordinate to the sharī‘ah of the
Khātam-ur-Rusul outwardly. And with this subordination,
he is at the status of being the silver brick.
And this is his outward status and the state of him
being subordinate to the law. And with regard to the
inner self, the Khātam-ul-Awliyā’ takes those things, in
which he is the Imām and leader for others, from
