The Noble Believer and the Vile Evildoer: A Hidden Blueprint in the Soul

A lone figure stands at a cosmic crossroads beneath a sky etched with divine light. One path opens wide and radiant — the way of the believer — lit with warm gold and whispering trees. The other twists into shadows — the way of the evildoer — narrow, cold, and echoing with distortion. Above, the hadith “المُؤْمِنُ غُرٌّ كَرِيْمٌ؛ وَالفَاجِرُ خِبٌّ لَئِيْمٌ” floats like celestial calligraphy, suspended between light and dark, choice and consequence.

The Spiritual and Psychological Decoding of a Prophetic Hadith

How womb traits and knowledge shape the soul’s final form through Abjad insight

The Hadith:

المُؤْمِنُ غُرٌّ كَرِيْمٌ؛ وَالفَاجِرُ خِبٌّ لَئِيْمٌ
“The believer is noble and generous, and the evildoer is vile and deceitful.”
— Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

Two calligraphic souls — Karīm, glowing with soft gold, and La’īm, cast in deep steel — face each other across a river of light. Beneath them, the number 9 glows like a secret root. One blossoms into stars and flowing generosity, the other coils inward, brittle and sharp. Same seed, opposite destinies — encoded in the same number.
The Cosmic Mirror: Karīm and La’īm

Twin Arabic calligraphy renderings of كَرِيمٌ (Karīm) and لَئِيمٌ (La’īm) float on opposite sides of a mystical mirror. One is etched in warm gold, glowing with generosity; the other in cold iron, sharp and shadowed. Beneath each, their Abjad values—270 and 90—faintly shimmer, both reducing to the number 9, the symbol of spiritual completion and potential.

The background splits softly: one half radiates like a sunlit garden (Karīm), the other veils itself in ash and fog (La’īm). Two paths, one blueprint.

Word Abjad Value Reduced Meaning
كَرِيمٌ (Karīm) 270 9 Noble, generous
لَئِيمٌ (La’īm) 90 9 Base, vile

From the earth’s core rises a red spiral — the womb, the emotional and inherited root (2). From the sky descends a stream of white light — the intellect, divine knowledge (7). Where they meet, a human form begins to take shape — glowing with the number 9. One half lifts toward light, the other darkens into ego. Completion isn’t always elevation.
✨ The Mystery of 9: Completion with Two Faces

The number 9 represents completion across spiritual traditions and Qur’anic insight, yet its expression can be vastly different:

  • Karīm (9): Completion as nobility, generosity, alignment with divine potential.

  • La’īm (9): Completion as baseness, deception, and disconnection from divine guidance.

Same root, divergent outcomes — the direction of the soul determines whether the raw material becomes fragrance or rot.

A mirror ripples in shadow and light. On one side, a luminous figure of potential — Karīm — begins to form. But the mirror warps, showing that same shape twisted: La’īm, weighed down by red strands (womb traits) and scattered, flickering glyphs (deficient knowledge). Above, the number 9 splits into light and rust. 🎨 Style Note: Surreal, introspective — a psychological portrait through mirrored duality.
🧬 The Dual Currents of Womb and Knowledge

Imagine two streams merging into a human figure glowing with the number 9:

  • A red spiral rising from the earth — the womb (2), symbolizing emotional inheritance, lineage, and the heart’s coding.

  • A silver beam descending from above — knowledge (7), the intellect and divine insight.

Their union births the soul’s completion (9), but split into two faces: one radiant and upright, the other cloaked in shadow with veiled eyes.

🔴 A red spiral coils upward — the womb (2), pulsing with ancestral memory, unspoken loyalties, and emotional residue. ⚪ A silver stream falls — knowledge (7), sharp with insight or clouded by pride. At their crossing, a figure begins to form — the soul in blueprint. But if the root is reactive and the light misdirected, the outcome is not Karīm… It is La’īm — potential twisted, not fulfilled.
🧬 Womb Genetics & Knowledge Deficiency: The Roots of La’īm

  • 2 (Womb): Emotional inheritance — resentment, tribalism, insecurity.

  • 7 (Knowledge): Intellect — knowledge or ignorance, humility or arrogance.

When the womb is unrefined and knowledge misused or absent, the soul’s completion manifests as La’īm rather than Karīm — potential corrupted.

A dark-red vortex rises — the nafs, raw and pulling downward. From above, a golden helix descends — ‘aql, luminous and ordered. At the center, Amir al-Mu’minīn (AS) stands silhouetted, one arm veiled in storm, the other in rising light. A scale hovers at his chest — suspended between descent and ascent. Around him, fragments of Nahj al-Balāgha glow like encrypted orbits.
🧭 Qur’anic & Nahj al-Balāgha Resonance

Imam Ali (AS) frequently teaches the inner battle between nafs (emotional base desires) and aql (reason and divine wisdom). This hadith reveals that struggle:

  • A person with noble seeds,

  • But corrupted intellect or lacking knowledge,

  • And reactive, divisive emotional roots,

  • Chooses ignobility over nobility.

A parchment unfurls in the cosmos, revealing ancient numbers glowing like stars: Karīm (270) and La’īm (90), both resolving into 9. Around them, invisible threads weave a perfect balance — not of fate, but of potential. In the distance, a divine eye — silent and still — watches not what the soul is given, but what it becomes.
🔁 Divine Irony & Justice in the Abjad Code

Karīm and La’īm both reduce to 9 — a divine message: God grants the same blueprint to all souls; what defines us is how we realize it.

“This person who could have been generous and noble is made ignoble by womb genetics and knowledge deficiency.”

Two calligraphic souls, gold and steel, face each other across a river of light. At the root pulses the number 9, branching into starlight or smoke. Same seed, opposite destinies.

A mirror suspended in twilight shows two reflections of the same face — one radiant, eyes open and soft; the other darkened, lips tightened by bitterness. Around the frame, faint symbols of 2 and 7 pulse like unseen forces. At the mirror’s center, the number 9 flickers — not as judgment, but as possibility shaped by choices unseen.
Personal Reflection

I recall someone of visible potential —  kindness, hardworking and glimpses of honor (karāmāh). Yet two forces pulled them down:

  • Womb genetics (2): Emotional patterns of resentment and insecurity.

  • Knowledge deficiency (7): Intellectual arrogance and ignorance of the soul.

The mirror darkened. The same completion became La’īm.

An illuminated scroll floats in a star-dark sky, each word of the hadith glowing beside its abjad number. Beneath it, six figures — Al-Mu’min (5), Ghurr (3), Karīm (9), Fājir (6), Khibb (8), La’īm (9) — orbit like constellations around a pulsing center: a glowing human silhouette forming from light and code. 🎨 Style Note: Cosmic, abstract, with sacred geometry and calligraphy blended into the symbolic fabric.
Spiritual Diagnostic Beyond Morality

This hadith is not just about right and wrong. It is a diagnostic:

  • Every soul carries both poles — Karīm and La’īm.

  • The balance tips by how well we:

    • Refine the womb (our emotional inheritance),

    • Illuminate the mind (our intellect and knowledge).

It’s not what we are born with, but what we do with it.

The Cosmic Dance of Numbers in the Soul

  • 5 (المُؤْمِن — Al-Mu’min):
    At the cosmic center, a figure stands glowing in warm light, embodying trust, faith, and spiritual wholeness — the eldest, a pillar of stability.

A luminous young spirit swirling playfully among fresh stars, glowing comet-like number 3 nearby, symbolizing purity, innocence, and new beginnings in cosmic night.

  • 3 (غُرّ — Ghurr):
    A young spirit dances among stars, pure and innocent — the middle child’s divine spark of new beginnings.

A shadowed figure at a cosmic crossroads, wrapped in dark threads, near a pulsating number 8, symbolizing internal conflict and influence from unseen paternal forces.

8 (خِبّ — Khibb):
A shadowed figure wrestles with tangled threads of deception and conflict, pulled by paternal shadows — embodying the youngest’s challenge of inherited struggles and the complex battle between light and dark within.

Final Thought
Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (AS) teaches us:

“The child is created in the womb for a hundred and twenty days as water; then he becomes a clot for the same period, then a morsel of flesh for the same period; then Allah sends an angel who breathes the spirit into him and is commanded to write four things: his provision, his lifespan, his deeds, and whether he will be miserable or happy.”
— Al-Kafi, Volume 5, Hadith 13

This profound narration reveals the divine decree inscribed even before birth, illustrating how happiness and misery are intertwined with our very creation. It resonates deeply with the idea that the womb and what is spiritually inscribed upon the soul there profoundly shape the course of a person’s life and destiny.
