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 Arcanum.
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 and
Omnipotency. These Attributes are the hidden relationship betwixt every existing
individual of the universe. The sunlight cannot deny to serve the earthlings, for
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.
Qalandar Baba Auliay (R.A)
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.
