Sana'i's Portrayal of the Prophet as a Universal Mercy and Cosmic Origin in Hadiqat al-Haqiqah
In this section of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sana'i of Ghazna explores the Prophet Muhammad's designation as a mercy to the worlds (rahmatan lil-alamin). He highlights the Prophet's cosmic primacy, depicting him as the first in creation (awwal al-fikr) but the last in prophetic mission (akhir al-amal). Sana'i employs rich Sufi metaphysics and imagery, connecting the Prophet to the Universal Soul (nafs-i kull) and the Holy Spirit, illustrating that the physical and spiritual realms derive their ultimate value, light, and order from his existence.
