Secret of Time and Space have been revealed by Allah,
in these Quranic Words:
“And We have created every thing in two (pairs)
so that ye may receive instructions”.
(Surah LI Verse 49)
Every
existing being is composed of three formats; the first is the Ahwaal, (Occurance)
second is the (Effects) Aasaar and the third, which is a collection of both these
formats, is called the Ahkaam (Commands).
Anything being ‘in twos’ mean that it is bi-folded
or has two-sides. Both the sides are opposite to each other. Despite the contract
they are adjoining each other. Although both the sides are separated from each other
because of their contrasted adjectivity (being active, passive or subjective, objective)
collection of both of them is called, the Existence of an object. In other words,
when both these sides assemble together their combination is a Perceptible Object.
One side of an object is the Percipient i.e, the sensitive and the other side of
the object is that which is felt it perceived. In sufism, the side which is percipient
is called Occurences (Ahwaal) and the other which is perceived is known as the Effects
(Aasaar), the collective name for both of them is the Commands (Ahkaam) and the
same is called ‘the Lord’s Edict’ in religion. Hence, there are two sides or components
of the ‘Lord’s Edict’. Occurrence is the component which knows and utilizes the
ability and quality and the other one; the Effect, is the ability and the quality
itself, Both these components are combinatively known as the Lord’s Edict (Amr-e-Rabbi).
Both of the components despite adjoining each other are separate from each other.
In fact, this very segregation is that activity which after its descent, from one
angle is Time and from the other-Space. When this activity takes place within the
parameter of the mental limits of the sense, it is termed as time. And, when this
activity takes place in the vicinity of the form and appearance of the Sense, it
is name as Space.
If Allah, the Most Exalted, had not created the
existing things in pairs the intermediatory gap which takes the form of Time and
Space would not come into being. This gap is created when dimensions take place
in the existing things. Dimensions take place in the Illustrational Realm and not
in the Realm of the Souls, that’s why the Realm of Soul is devoid of Time and Space.
The Existing Thing is a figurative affair and not an active or functional affair
over there. Hence the World of Nasma commences from where the motion starts.
When,
for instance, the feeling for offering the prayer is aroused in a person, it has
two aspects. One, the formation of the feelings for prayer and the other is the
mind which conceives the feelings of prayer.
If the aforementioned statement of Allah is dealt at length many duplexities of the sense would become unavoidable. One of them is the General aspect and the other is the Specific one. Opposite to the Specific aspect of the sense is that general aspect of the sense which is the Dominating one
At this point, it seems necessary to mention something
about the Persona Major. The person too has two sides; Persona Major and Persona
Minor. The former of the two is the dominant while the later is the Dominated one.
We, in a way, can also name them as species and individual. One of them is the root
and the other its derivative. The General sense is to be considered as the sense
of the Persona Major. The Persona Major, as mentioned above is briefly discussed
here.
Allah, the Most high has stated in the Holy Quran;
“And Allah bestowed knowledge of the Names (Including
the natures, properties and characteristic etc) of all thing upon Adam (after his
creation)’.
(Quran Surah II Verse 31)
In a nutshell, knowledge about properties and name
of all existing things of the earther was given to Adam. According to the terminology
of the preserved scripturum names are equivalent to the title and description of
the properties and characteristics of the things.
In 30th Verse of the Second Surah of the Holy Quran,
Allah has mentions the appointment of Adam as Hugh vicegerent and the very next
verse is telling us about the grant of the knowledge of the names. If we look for
a link between the two, in the perspective if the Diving Administrative Policies,
it becomes clear that the vicegerency of Allah, the Most High is deeply connected
with the knowledge of the said Names.
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.
