The Letters

Reading Mohsen through Ilm ul Huroof

Every Arabic name is a sequence of ontological principles. The first letter governs the outward self. The middle letters govern the interior. The final letter governs how things resolve.

مMeemFirst · Outward SelfحHaInteriorسSinInteriorنNunLast · Resolution

Meem (م) — love. Ha (ح) — breath of life. Sin (س) — expansion. Nun (ن) — depth. Doer of good: loving, alive, expansive, deep.

"A name is not a label assigned after the fact. It is a structure of principles that begins its work the moment it is given."

In the tradition of Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi

The Portrait

What Mohsen asks of its bearer

Mohsen opens with Meem — an outward self made of love. Inside the name, Ha (soft) brings an interior of life and breath; Seen brings an interior of asking. These are the hidden weathers of the name. And Mohsen closes on Nun: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The work of the name is to let doer of good live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.
