from the Viewpoint of Imam Khomeini
The Dot
This noble Surah (Fatiha) is “The Opening of the Book,” “The Mother of the Book” and the general form of the objectives of the Quran. And as all the objectives of the Divine Book return to a single objective, i.e. the truth of monotheism, which is the goal of all prophet hood and the ultimate aim of all the great prophets, and the truths and the secrets of monotheism are contained in the noble verse of “bismillah” (In the name of Allah), so, this noble verse is the greatest of the divine verses and contains all the objectives of the Divine Book, as is confirmed by the noble tradition. As the “ba” is the appearance of tawhid (monotheism), and the dot under it, is its secret, the whole Book, its overt and covert, is in that “ba”. And the perfect man, that is, the blessed person of Ali (a.s.) is the very dot of the secret of tawhid. There is no verse in the world greater than that blessed person after the Seal of the Messengers (s.a.), as is stated in the noble Hadith.
