13:39 , n. 1864. The Mother of the Book, the Foundation of Revelation, the Preserved Tablet (al Lawhal Mahfuz,
85:22), is the core or essence of Revelation, the original principle or fountainhead of Allah's Eternal and Universal Law. From this fountainhead are derived all streams of knowledge and wisdom, that flow through Time and feed the intelligence of created minds. The Mother of the Book is in Allah's own Presence, and its dignity and wisdom are more than all we can think of in the spiritual world.
