Today, a very precious article from our dear friend (Mr. Farah Kiani) We have prepared
فره کیانی-Mani Arami's name Is. Many names have been given to Mani, such as Angel of Light, God, Beg, Kardgar, Enlightener, King and …In Latin it is Corbicus and in Greek Copricus.
Mani in 14 April 216 Miladi was born in the village of Merdino near the Kuthi River in the east of Babylon, which at that time was a part of the Assyrian province of Iran.. Mani Fatiq's father was a Parthian prince from Hamedan. His mother, Maryam, was from the Ashmanian family.
…
His father went to Madain. One day he heard in an idol house: "Eat meat and avoid women" . After that, he left Madain and joined the Mujtasala group in the Mishan plain. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he received a revelation from a spirit who called himself Tom. This event took place in the first years of the reign of Ardashir, the Sassanid emperor.
After when he was twenty-four years old, Tom came to him again and told him that it was time to come out and he had to call the people.
"Peace be upon you, O Mani, from me and from the Lord who sent me to you and chose you for his mission and commanded that {People} "Read the truth and give the good news of the truth on his behalf and use all your efforts in it."
Mani first called his father and the elders of his family to Kish.
«… By Narjemic(= Tom)… I stood before my family and took the advice of God, and this is what Narjmig taught me, so I started telling my father and the trustees and learning, those who heard were amazed. …»
Mani first by sea to India, Turan and Makran (Balochistan and today's document) He left. He became proud in his first work and was able to convert the Turanian king, who was a Buddhist, and converted some of his people to his religion.. The following article states that he took a pious man with him and spoke to him. It is thought that this has strengthened the faith of the king of Turan.
"Angel(Mani) He took the pious into the air. Said, what bigger?
Said the pious: My army.
The angel said: Then, what's bigger than that?
said: That land that takes everything.
So he said: What is bigger than this?
Said the pious: That Sky…
said: What is bigger than this?
said: May seal and month.
So what is brighter? told that … Clever.
"So Turan Shah said that you are bigger and brighter than all this, because you really are a Buddha."
Mani rushed to Ctesiphon after the death of Ardashir and learned of the reign of Shapur and with the help of Piroozh(= Turquoise?) Won on the coronation day on April 9th (First Nissan Babylon) He reached Shapur and revealed his prophethood with two of his companions named Zakwa and Simon and his father Petg..
According to Mani Kefalaya, Mani spent many years in obedience to Shapur(Service?) And advertised his religion in the lands of Persia, Parthia and the Roman frontier. According to Alexander Leukopolis, Mani is a symbol of Hamundi(Member) From the court of Shapur, the king in one of his battles against the Roman king(244-242M) Or (260-256M) Has accompanied. We suspect that Mani was in medicine at the time and was treating patients. Shapur Shah summoned Mani to the court three times and released him for the third time to advertise his religion in the imperial lands.. Manny was able to in the year 261 M., another brother of Shapur, named Mehr Shah, became his cult.
"So Shapur's brother was the king of Mishan . His name was Mehr Shah and he was related to Fereshteh(Mani) He was a tough enemy. And adorned a garden. Very good and surprisingly loose(Spacious and large) , Which does not match anyone. So the angel knew that the time of deliverance was near. So he got up and went to Mehrshah. That in the park with great joy(Very) It was a feast.
So he said to the angel, "What is your name, because this is my garden?" So the angel received that unbelievable thought. So with Varj(Miracle), Illuminated heaven with all the gods and gods and the wind of Anousheh( Immortal air) Life and garden of all kinds, and other pleasant sights, there. Then unconscious, three times(three hours) Fell to the ground. And what he saw he kept in his heart. So the angel touched (his head) نهاد. When he got up, he fell on the angel's feet, took his right hand, and the angel said …»
Mani among the years 244 And in 261 AD, when he was in Ardeshir(Part of Madain) He sent a group led by Ada and Petg to Egypt. Mani led another group from Helwan led by Amu, along with Ardavan to Abarshahr(Current Neishabour) sent. These groups became proud in their work, so that Ada and Petg to Alexandria and Amu in Apakhtarkhavar(northeast) The empire penetrated as far as Parthia and Merv.
” They went to Rome. They saw many differences of opinion in religions. Many were selected and selected. پتیگ(پتگ) He was there for a year. Forwarded(= Mani) Came back. So God(= Mani) Three secretaries, He sent the Bible and two other books to Eda. He said that this is Mia, Stay there, To show(= In majesty) A business that rounds up treasure.
Ada suffered a lot in these lands. … Accept(To confront) The counters are gone. He overcame them in everything. He shamed and condemned the cults. Until he reached Alexandria. Breathe into religion. He did wonders in the cities. Religion sent(Mani) Spread in Rome”
Mani sent another group led by Ada and Abzakhia to Karkhay De Beit Saloug in the east of the Tigris, and converted some Christians in Kirkuk to Mani..
With the death of his son Shapur, Hormozd first sits on the throne instead of his father. Jupiter did not oppose Mani and his followers.
“Says in Manichaean psalms: Shapur respected you and Jupiter accepted your legitimacy”
So Bahram first came to power, brother of Hormozd, The provocation of the Zoroastrian priests was resumed and Mani, who felt threatened, left Babylon and visited the Manichaean groups through the Tigris, and when he went to Jupiter Ardashir.(Current Ahwaz)Receipt, Want to travel(Travel) To the east(East) He ruled the empire but was prevented from doing so. He returned to Mishan and then went to Typhon. Mani's last trip, Accepting Bahram's summons was first to the court. Mani went to Khuzestan from Ctesiphon . At Kholasar he was joined by an elder named Bhat. Mani had his last meeting with the Mani groups in Geokhai., On the shores of Beit Darayeh. From there to Beit Lapat(Jundishapur) Called six. Here is Mani after an unpleasant meeting with Bahram, He was chained and imprisoned.
In this incident, the assassination of Dabir and Abzakhia Parsi, Two students of Mani and the grandson of a translator(Who was with Mani until the last breath and watched his death), They accompanied Mani.
Nohzadak writes this in a party article:
” Mani… Came , When the grandson of the translator, کوشتای.. , He captured the Persian Abzakhia. And the king will go, And he was still sitting. And the companions came in and said that Mani had come and stood at the door. And the king to God(Mani) Sent a message to stand for a while, Until I come to you myself. And God(Mani) He sat on the watch again until the king washed his hands, which was his motive for going to Nakhjir.
He got up to eat. And hand to <the shoulder> The queen casts doubt <Manual> He descended on Carter, the son of Ardavan, to God. And he began to say to God, 'You are not welcome.'. And God answered: What did I do wrong? And the king said that I swore not to let you reach this land. And he said this to God in anger: What do you have to do to not go to the polls or shout? Maybe you need this medicine and treatment and you do not do this.
So God answered like that: I didn't do anything wrong to you; I have always been kind to you and your family, and I am your servant very much, That I got rid of the demon and the deer, and there were many that I got sick of, And there were many that I got rid of the fever and chills of a few years. And there were many to date(Now) Were dead and …”
Mani was imprisoned for 26 days and died on Monday in Khuzestan province and Balabad city. Mani's way of death is very painful. He was skinned alive, Beheaded and in the present(Hi) Who had accumulated tension from the straw, As a lesson, others hung on the gate of Jundishapur. This gate was known as Mani Gate in Islamic times.
In Manichaean Psalms he tells Mani:
"The Zoroastrians loaded you with iron and tied your hands and feet with iron and put chains on your body and put you in prison and 26 You stayed in the iron day and night, and your friends came to you, and you made everyone laugh."
