Every Name of Allah, in fact, is a Beatific Vision
(Tajalli) which represents a specific Attribute of Allah accompanying Beatific Visions
of both the Attributes of Mercy and Omnipotency. Thus, with Beatific Vision of every
Attribute two more Beatific Visions are there. To wit, every Name is a collection
of three Beatific Visions. One of them is that of the Attribute represented by that
name, other is that of the Attribute of Mercy and the third one is that of the Attribute
of Omnipotency. Therefore any Beatific Vision is denominated as Appellation.
At this point, it must be clearly understood that
every appellation, as a whole, represents two things; the Beatific Vision and the
Attribute of the Beatific Vision. When any of the Appellations of Allah is recited
mentally or orally, a Beatific Vision with its Attribute is activated. This activation
or the movement is called knowledge which is actually a reflection of the knowledge
of Allah. This movement comprises three factors.
First one is the Beatific Vision which descends
in the Latent Subtlety.
Second one is the Attribute of the Beatific Vision
which descends in the Arcanum Subtlety.
Third one is the Formation of the Attribute of Beatific
Vision which descends in the Subtlety of Heart and the very same is termed as sight.
And, the various consecutive movements of the same component taking place in the
Subtlety of Heart are termed as speech and hearing, smell and smelling sense. Now
this smell and the smelling sense through yet another movement attract the Subtlety
of Self after transforming into features of colors. This attraction between the
subtleties of Heart and Self is the action or the outcome.
In this way, three movements are enacted simultaneously
by the soul. First movement is to know something, it descends in the Latent Subtlety.
Second movement which descends in the Arcanum Subtlety is to feel. The third one
which descends in the Subtleties of Heart and Self is urge and action.
Every movement commences from 'Sabita'; the Firmly
Affixed Inscription and concludes at ‘Jowviyah'; the Confluence. As soon as comprehension
takes place in the Latent Subtlety of 'Sabita' it is recorded by the Obscure Subtlety.
Then, as soon as feeling takes place in the Arcanum Subtlety of the Substantiality,
the Subtlety of Spirit records it. And then its action takes place in the Subtlety
of Heart of the Confluence it is recorded by the Subtlety of Self. 'Sabita' comprehended
Substantiality felt and Confluence enacted it. All these three movements started
ended and spontaneously Life, in this way, keeps on moving perpetually.
All Beatific Visions of knowledge pertaining to
life of an individual are recorded in the Firmly Affixed Inscription, all Beatific
Visions of thoughts are registered in the Substantiality and all the impressions
of activities are recorded in the Confluence.
We, ordinarily, never bother to note that all existing
bodies and individuals have a secret relation betwixt them. Although life of the
universe depends upon this very relationship, it cannot be researched by scholars
and experts of any sort except the spiritualists and psychists. This very interrelationship
is the source of recognition of all the heavenly bodies and their inhabitants, living
and non-living individuals.
When a star is sighted, we feel its visage through
our sight. Countenance of the star never prevents our sight from looking at itself.
It never forbids us from viewing it. Had there not been a hidden interrelationship,
every star and every celestial scene would have caused one or the other hindrance
in accepting our existence. All the individuals of the universe are linked with
one another because of the very same obscure relationship.
This reality is revealed here that the whole universe
is owned by only one single entity. Had the various bodies of the universe been
possessed by different owners surely there would have been a clash over recognition
of one another. Belongings of one would have never liked to be introduced with the
possessions of the other one. The Holy Quran introduces the very Master by the name
of Allah. Amongst all the Holy Appellations, the word 'ALLAH' is the personal innate
name.
Personal innate name Allah is the name of the one
who possesses the Rights of Ownership and the Attributive names are the denominations
of the one having Omnipotent Rights. Both the Attributes of Allah; Mercy and Omnipotency
have been mentioned above. Every Appellation enjoys the quality of Omnipotency and
the personal innate name is indicative of the rights of ownership which, in terms
of Sufism, is called Mercy. Therefore, every Attribute is bound to be associative
with Allah's Attributes of Mercy very two and Omnipotency. These Attributes are
the hidden relationship betwixt every existing individual of the universe the sunlight
cannot deny to serve the earth, or the simple reason that both; the sunlight and
the earthlings are owned by the same One Deity. Besides the Rights of Ownership
He is enjoying the Omnipotent Powers to Rule, therefore His Mercifulness and Omnipotency
never tolerate any defiance on the part of His possessions in acknowledging the
existence of one another. Because, in such a cause, His Omnipotent Authority would
suffer a reproach. Thus, on every point of creation, these two Attribute of Allah;
Mercifulness and Omnipotency, are bound to be predominating. Therefore, both these
Attributes are the mutual link between the individuals of the universe.
This fact is now revealed that the existence, arrangement
and organization of universal system is governed by two Appellations of Allah, the
Most High. One is Allah and the other is 'Qadeer' (Omnipotent)Each and every Attributive Appellation
is associated with these two exalted Names. Had it not been so, it
would not have been possible for the individuals
of the universe to be acquainted with one another nor it could have been possible
for them to serve one another.
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
Alshaikh Khwaja
Shamsuddin Azeemi, Chief Editor of the monthly Roohani Digest, the renowned
spiritual scholar, founder of the chain of Muraqba Halls the world over has had
the honour of learning the spiritual sciences from his spiritual mentor, His
Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, the sage of this age. In order to teach him
the spiritual sciences Qalander Baba Auliya made Alshaikh Azeemi to pen down
the words that he used to narrate. Alshaikh Azeemi being a devoted disciple not
only noted the contents but also did his best to understand what he was taught.
The eventual out come of his dedicated work took the form of the ‘Loh-o-Qalum’,
the first ever book that comprises the whole syllabus of the spiritual science.
Who else was more suitable to explain the contents of this document but
Alshaikh Azeemi, the very able student of Qalander Baba Auliya. Dissemination
of that knowledge, which is the legacy of prophets and had reached him in
disciplic succession, has become an obsession for Alshaikh Azeemi because, according
to him, this knowledge is the only elixir and the antidote for the ailing
humanity in present times.
