Understand Your Flower of Life and How Manifestation Works
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ٱلْرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah (AJ) from the accursed Satan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa Ashrafil Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ. Madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem, Ya Habibul ‘Azeem, unzur halana wa ishfa’lana, ‘abidona bi madadikum wa nazarekum.
Atiullah wa atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum. Always a reminder for myself, ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence.
أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُم… ﴿٥٩﴾ …
4:59 – “…Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat an-Nisa)
“…Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)
Allah (AJ) Created No Man With Two Hearts (Holy Qur’an, 33:4)
Alhamdulillah, that this whole way is based on the Divine heart. This reality of a qalb (heart) in which we understand it, in our physical dimension, as a piece of flesh. By that piece of flesh, Allah (AJ) is making all these creatures to have an existence. Its reality is from an energy that’s not seen. It means the immensity of that secret of creatures and creation, a whole different reality. But of the creatures that exist within this creation, then Allah (AJ) draws our attention to our heart. That, ‘I created no man with two hearts.’
﴾مَّا جَعَلَ اللَّـهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِّن قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ ۚ … ﴿٤
33:4 – “Ma ja’ala Allahu lirajulin min Qalbayni fee jawfihi…” (Surat Al-Ahzab)
“Allah has not made for a man two hearts in his interior…” (The Combined Forces, 33:4)
That this way of tariqah (spiritual path), its way of ma’rifah (gnosticism), its connection into the heavenly realm of light is opening the reality of the heart. That God gave us, Allah (AJ) gave us a piece of flesh that contains an energy. Its source and its origin unknown. How that energy comes, gives a beat of a qudra, a power, an electricity. It’s not electricity, but it’s a power that beats, continuously beats and it is the entire electrical system of our physiology. Its immensity in the Divinely Presence has to do with…because we know in the world of form a piece of flesh. Allah (AJ) draws us to the Divinely Presence of the qalb.
Our Heart is Powered By Divine Energy From Allah (AJ)
That as you have a piece of flesh that brings an energy not from yourself. You’re not something self-sufficient. You have an energy and nobody can say where that energy comes from because they don’t want to admit it comes from God. A believer knows that it comes from Allah (AJ), God Almighty, the one whom doesn’t need energy, but is the source of all energy; not in need of anything. When Allah (AJ) shows how fragile our creation is, is that, ‘How can you be self-sufficient and think that you’re something independent of My Divinely Presence? But yet, I can unplug you at any moment.’ Like a toy and a robot, that all of a sudden builds its own AI and thinks it can do whatever it wants, say whatever it wants, until its owner unplugs it and says, ‘Now you can’t do nothing.’
A sign for believers to understand that I’m wholly dependent upon that source of energy. That’s the tawakkul (perfected trust in God), that we rely entirely upon that source of energy. That He be happy with us, that He be loving towards us with our loving character. We are completely sustained by that Divinely energy. Allah (AJ) gives to us to understand that, ‘This piece of flesh within you that is the source of power from My Divinely Presence should be a big sign for your creation.’ Had you been independent, it would be very hard to prove your reliance upon a power greater than yourself.
Allah (AJ) Placed His Sign in Our Heart, Not Our Head
People say, ‘Why religion? Why you people like this? Why is like this?’ If people just lose their big heads and think that we are a creation that relies upon an energy source that’s not from us. Something is sustaining us. If that beat stops, nobody can bring it back. They try to have artificial hearts, no permission. Artificial brain, you can have all you want because Allah (AJ) doesn’t care for your head. You can put any monkey brain if you want, doesn’t matter. They can take your brain out, it doesn’t matter. But the heart only belongs to Allah (AJ). This energy and this power that emanates within our being is the source of our manifestation.
Whom Allah (AJ) loves, He gives to them that, ‘Why you’re looking at the stars and figuring where I am? Why are you looking to here and to there and to different structures and buildings? I gave you My greatest sign of My Divinely Power and it beats right within your chest.’ Not your brain, but that pulse of energy that…[heart beating noise]…in a muscle that nobody can understand why is it so powerful. That for 80, 90 years, they can’t build an engine that runs for that long. How Allah (AJ) even put it in this piece of flesh that’s so self-sufficient in its ability to run unless you destroyed it with food and contaminants from outside sources.
Allah (AJ) is Closer to You Than Your Jugular Vein (Holy Qur’an, 50:16)
How this muscle pumps and this energy appears and Allah (AJ) says, ‘For the seeker and those whom I grant a Divine love, they understood that why are they looking out and why are they going to places and think Allah (AJ) will be there?’ Allah (AJ) gives to us, to the seekers and those whom have this love that Allah (AJ) gave, that: ‘I’m right here’. They should be drawn and have a fascination to this energy. As a result, they don’t look out for Allah (AJ), but they should be looking in.
Allah (AJ) is nearer to them than the vein and blood that shoots into their being. But they’re accountable for that nearness. We’ve talked before when Allah (AJ) describes, ‘I’m closer to you than your jugular vein.’ It’s more warning. That, ‘I’m so near to you in everything you do. I provide every beat at every moment of your heart. If at any time I wish, I stop that beat. The whole world can come to rescue you and it won’t happen’.
﴾١٦﴿ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ…
50:16 – “…wa Nahnu aqrabu ilaihi min hablil wareed.” (Surat Qaf)
“…and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein.” (The Letter Qaf, 50:16)
Tariqahs Emphasize Cleansing Your Heart
So, tariqah (spiritual path) is based on that reality: who knows himself will know his Lord.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ:” مَنْ عَرَفَ نَفْسَهْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ”
Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: “Man ‘arafa nafsahu faqad ‘arafa Rabbahu”
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “Who knows himself, knows his Lord.”
The first place that Prophet ﷺ directs always the believer to is to your qalb (heart), to have a salim, have a pure heart, a clean heart. Only through the purity of that heart can you truly cherish the Divinely Presence. For if that beat from Allah (AJ) is within the heart, how can we put anything into it to be sharik (partner)? It means how do we put something dirty into where Allah (AJ) is? That’s why the tariqahs come to clean.
The non-tariqahs, once you understood these realities, you understand that what big gunah (sin) that is. That when somebody’s not busy trying to clean their heart, and that very beat is from Divinely Presence ‘Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ).’ But all their external and all external practices, what value it has? With what they recite, what they think they do, and how they stand – every action of prayer on the outside, what value it has when in the inside, their proximity to that Divinely Presence is not clean, what they put into their Ka’bah (heart) is not clean, what thoughts they have are not clean? Because all of them come to the heart. You know, when you look at something not right, that want and that desire enters the heart. When you eat something that’s not right, its desire comes into the heart. When we think something not right, anger and aggression…imagine now what anger really is.
Without Inner Purification, Your Outward Actions Have No Real Value
When tariqah (spiritual path) comes and teaches: have good manners. Why? Because you carry within your being, the house of Allah (AJ). We carry within our reality this Divinely light that beating within our heart; gives us the immense proximity, a door to the Divinely Presence. My whole life was to be aware of that beat, clean that beat, clean everything around it so that when the beat is coming, the heart is clean.
When the beat is coming, there’s no ghadab and anger within it. There’s no jealousy within it. There’s no enmity and envy of what somebody else has. It means none of the ruinous traits and bad character that, God forbid, Allah’s (AJ) light comes and should be in the company of these bad realities within the heart. When we understood that, then we see the people who they don’t focus on their heart, but they focus on the feet. They focus on how their hands will be. They focus on going here and praying this and doing this. But the one whom doesn’t purify inside, what is the value of all the outside actions? Nothing. Allah (AJ) describe, ‘We come to them and we throw them.’ Allah (AJ) wants for reality: come back into the real inner reality.
عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ, عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ :” لأَعْلَمَنَّ أَقْوَامًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِحَسَنَاتٍ أَمْثَالِ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ بِيضًا فَيَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا” [سُنَنُ ابْنِ مَاجَهْ ٤٢٤٥, كِتَابْ ٣٧، حَدِيثْ ١٤٦]
‘An Sawbana (ra) ‘anin Nabiyi ﷺ annahu qala: “La’alamanna aqwaman min ummati ya’tuna yawmal qiyamati bihasanatin amsali jibali tihamata baydan fayaj’aluha Allahu ‘azza wa jalla haba’an mansura.” [Sunan Ibn Majah, 4245 Kitab 37, Hadith 146]
Sawban (ra) narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “I certainly know people of my nation who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihamah, but Allah (AJ) will make them like scattered dust.” [Sunan Ibn Majah 4245, Book 37, Hadith 146]
Sama’, Hadrah and Muraqabah Imitate the Divinely Heart
Understand that Allah (AJ) is as close to you as that very beat that is beating. It’s an energy from His Divinely Presence that He gives that qudra (power). That’s why everything in tariqah is based on that energy, that lightning, that pulse that is coming; what we call the ‘Bahrul Qudra,’ from the ocean of power is beating within the heart.
So, some of the tariqahs, they made a sama’ (whirling). They circumambulated that reality because all of them were based on the same. Others sat and made their muraqabah (spiritual connection) around that reality. Those were the strongest because they could take the faiz, the emanation, and the dress of its reality. Some stand and make hadrah (presence) because of that reality and that light because it’s all the same because that lightning comes. The external symbol was hadrat an Nabi ﷺ (presence of Prophet ﷺ), when they form a circle. They make their hadrah. It’s an imitation of the Divinely heart. From that reality, every creature is being manifested and sustained. The center of that, that that beat is coming under the authority of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ because the Oneness. All the creatures, but only one authority and one power.
Move Towards Your Heart to Reach Higher Realities
Based on that heart is what they call and other people trying to understand the ‘Flower of Life’. This reality of the Divinely heart is the power to all realities. Every lower reality is just a subsection of something. It means the one whom reaches to the reality of the heart, found everything. If you reach to the reality of your stomach, this [is] lower reality. You reach to the reality of your feet, is lower reality.
It means every reality that somebody’s trying to understand and different people, different types of organizations in their meditations, their practices, it’s all of a lesser reality. The greatest reality is the one who moves towards the heart. This is why Allah (AJ) gave to Prophet ﷺ, ‘I’m not in heaven and I’m not on Earth, but I’m on the heart of My believer.’ “Qalb al mu’min baytullah”.
“. عَنْ وَهَبِ بِنْ مُنَبِّهْ، قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” مَا وَسِعَنِيْ لَا سَمَائِيْ وَلَا اَرْضِيْ وَلَكِنْ وَسِعَنِيْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِيْ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلْغَزَالِي فِي اَلْإحْيَاء، وَ اِبنِ عَرَبِي فِي اَلْتَرَاجِمْ، صفحه ٢٢٤]
‘An Wahab ibn Munabbeh, Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Maa wasi’anee laa samayee, wa la ardee, laakin wasi’anee qalbi ‘Abdi al Mu’min.” [Hadith al Qudsi, Al Ghazali fi al Ihyaa, wa Ibn ‘Arabi fi al Tarajim, Safha 224]
Narrated by Wahab the son of Munabbeh that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said that Allah (AJ) said: “Neither My Heavens nor My Earth can contain Me, but the heart of my Believing Servant.” [Holy Hadith, by Imam al-Ghazali in Al Ihya, and by Ibn ‘Arabi in al Tarajib, Page 224]
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: “ قَلْبَ الْمُؤْمِنْ بَيْتُ الرَّب.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي]
Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Qalb al mu’min baytur rabb.” [Hadith al Qudsi]
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “The heart of the believer is the House of the Lord.” (Holy Hadith)
Tariqah Opens the Door to Divine Power Through Prophet ﷺ
If they want to enter into the house of God Almighty, to be His guest and to reach an authority to everything that Allah (AJ) has created, this is the ultimate portal. Every lesser portal is not like this central command.
Central command is into the center of that power because that Divine light is the power for everything that is in existence, animate and inanimate. What Allah (AJ) gave to Bani Adam (children of Adam) is this immense power that, ‘Through your heart, you can reach My Divinely Presence, My Divinely energy,’ but it should be something that we contemplate. That’s why the tariqah (spiritual path) is based on the heart.
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is the Key to the Divinely Heart
The tariqahs hold the door to the realities of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in which Allah (AJ) – whatever portal He gave to other nations – this is the kamil and most perfected door to Divinely Presence. That the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ completed all realities. One whom enters into that haqqaiq (realities) entered into the central command of all realities.
It means the Divinely heart, its key is the Muhammadan heart because these are the portals in which to reach. How to reach to the Divinely power and qudra (power) that emanates from the haqaiq of La ilaha illAllah when Allah (AJ) cannot be seen, cannot be witnessed, cannot be a partner to. Nothing is like unto Allah (AJ), but its qudra and its power is in a heart called Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ اللَّهُ ﷺ
“La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.”
“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah (pbuh).”
Divine Qalb Comes From “Qaf, By the Honoured Qur’an” (Holy Qur’an, 50:1)
In the world of light, this is not the world of flesh and form. There’s a dimension in the world of lights and realities in which the Divinely Speech of Allah (AJ) is what they call ‘Qalb’ because the world of light is not the same as the world of form. So, when Allah (AJ) mentions ‘Qalb’ is: ‘Qaf, laam, ba’. Allah (AJ) is not of a physical and material plane. It’s a dimension not manifesting and the qalb has to do with qudra and energy. That the ‘Qaf’ from Qur’an al-Majeed (the Glorious Qur’an) – immense power.
﴾ق ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ ﴿١
50:1 – “Qaf, wal Quranil Majeed.” (Surat Qaf)
“Qaf. By the honored Qur’an.” (The Letter Qaf, 50:1)
Not Even a Mountain Can Contain Allah’s (AJ) “Qul” (Holy Qur’an, 57:21)
To the laam becomes “Qul” – Divinely Speech. No one and no creation can contain “Qul”; not an angel, not a prophet, not a saint. Because of the ocean of tawheed (Oneness), Qur’an can only come to one whom was created for that reality. Allah (AJ) describes the haqqaiq of that “Qul”. That, ‘If I reveal My Qur’an…’ because qaf is the secret coding of what the reality of Qur’an is. ‘If I relieve…If I reveal My Qur’an to the mountain, it would be dust.’
﴾لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ …﴿٢١
59:21 – “Law anzalna hadha alQurana ‘ala jabalin laraaytahu, khashi’an mutasaddi’an min khashyatillahi…” (Surat Al-Hashr)
“Had We sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, verily, you would have seen it obliterated to dust (from its power)…” (The Exile, 59:21)
Divine Speech Flows Through the Light of Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ
But who He reveals that Qur’an to is the heart and the qalb, not the physical plane. When Prophet ﷺ was of dunya (material world), manifesting definitely the physical plane which is astonishing in itself. But in the world of light and eternally representing that reality, that this qaf, it manifest in this abode of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
That his lisan (tongue), the laam stands for lisan: l-i-s-a-n, which is the tongue and the reality and the prophetic reality was created to represent the qaf. As a result, it is the power of Divinely Speech called “Qul”. That power, nothing; not an angel was created to even hear that vibration. It must flow through the light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
All of Holy Qur’an is Contained Within the Ba
When that speech comes out, it comes to the ba of the qalb (heart). We said before, all Qur’an is in 30 juz (parts), like a laser. All 30 juz in seven verses of Fatiha. All of Fatiha in “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem”. All of “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem” in ba. All of this is the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. From that qalb is emanating this power. That power is the source power for all creation to manifest. It must manifest through Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, and its authority and power from La ilaha illAllah.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
“Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem”
“In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful”
Enter Divinely Power Through Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ
So, this is the immensity of the manifestation and haqqaiqs of all creation. Allah (AJ) gave to the nation because the nation are the ones whom we love and honour and respect. Those whom have not come yet to the nation, when they come to the nation, that’s their gift and entry. That come to this door of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ so that you can achieve the entry into this Divinely power, this source of power, source light, the source entity for all powers.
Every Soul Takes Knowledge From the Ocean Of Power
Imagine then, the souls that their abode is in that in which their wujud (existence) and their soul emanate within that Muhammadan heart; deep within the Muhammadan heart into the Qudrat al Ilahiya (Divinely Power) in which the Divinely ilahi lights are continuously beating every source of power and knowledge and reality because we’re trying to give the image and its understanding. If we move into that power, that’s the power that gives every knowledge to everything it’s going to hit.
Every creature that is in existence on this planet and billions of other universes, they take from the same source. This power has to come out, reach to them. Whatever knowledge they want has to come from this power to give them their knowledge, their ‘aqel (intellect), their…any sense. Everything that is functioning, making them to function is from this one ocean of power. This is the immense reality of tawheed (oneness). The soul of awliya (saints) and their students – this was their entire interest and journey is that, ‘Let’s go to this ocean of power.’
Everything Manifests Through the Muhammadan Heart
As we enter and move towards that power, all the knowledges that that beat is sending out to all of creation, it comes first to those souls; doesn’t matter where they are on this creation, what knowledges they think they have. It came from the heart of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Whether they’re jinn (unseen beings), ens (human being), or creations that we don’t know. Whether they’re creatures crawling, creatures walking, all their co-ordinance come from this one ocean.
The reality of tawheed (oneness), when we say, La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ was not for the pettiness of our physicality.
لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ اللَّهُ ﷺ
“La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.”
“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah (pbuh).”
Everything in Existence is Connected Through La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ
Its reality, it has to do with the immense reality of the origin of this binary code for all existence. Those whom Allah (AJ) dress from the haqqaiq of La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, they are privy into this ocean of power that make everything to manifest. Through it, they can manifest and vanish in its reality. The immensity of that pulse and that energy, on how everything is connected to that. There is nothing not connected. When Allah (AJ), “Sakhkhara lakum ma fis Samawati wa ma fil Ard,” these are all a descriptions of this presence.
﴾وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً مِّنْهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لَّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ﴿١٣
45:13 – “Wa sakhkhara lakum ma fis Samawati wa ma fil Ardi jamee’an minhu, inna fee dhalika la ayatin liqawmin yatafakkaron.” (Surat Al-Jathiya)
“And He has subjected/gave the authority to you [Sayyidina Mahmood (pbuh)], as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect/Contemplate [Meditate].” (The Crouching, 45:13)
Allah’s (AJ) Will Comes Out as Command Through Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ
Everything, not physical, only the physical king. Everything finds its existence through your reality: Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, through your heart and through your energy and your qudra (power). That Allah’s (AJ) La ilaha illAllah resides within that reality and its emanation goes out. Once it manifests, it manifests as the lights and powers of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ because Allah (AJ) is la sharik (no partner) and la shabi.
Nothing can be unto Allah (AJ). Nothing is like unto Allah (AJ). Once it manifests, it means it has to manifest through a light. It manifested. It became Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. When it’s still not in the ocean of manifesting, the beat has not yet come. It’s from the will of Allah (AJ). As
soon as Allah’s (AJ) qudra (power) manifests, it comes out as amr (command). “Kullun iradan…amrun wal irada”. All of it is described in Suratul YaSeen, the heart, which is a description of Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ haqqaiq.
﴾إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٨٢
36:82 – “Innama AmruHu idha Arada shay an, an yaqola lahu kun faya koon.” (Surat YaSeen)
“His command is when He intends a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it is!” (YaSeen, 36:82)
When Allah (AJ) wants to manifest, whether it’s a power, it has to be then Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Because the law, the law of La ilaha illAllah is there’s nothing like unto God. There’s no partner with God. There’s no manifestation that you can say, ‘Oh, this is like God.’ Nothing. But as soon as that power manifests, it manifest to this reality. From that, everything is realities are opening.
The ‘Flower Of Life’ Originates From the Levels of the Qalb
When they draw, there’s these scientists now trying to explain the Tree of Life. They take the diagram. Does it show, Lloyd, the diagram? That these four circles with the center circle, the interac…the intersection of this circle with this circle creates a like a figure that they call, it looks like a flower. They say the reality of that Tree of Life or that flower of life. We have it in the ‘Qalb’ [Levels of The Heart] book. They draw it similar to this [Shaykh shows a diagram in the book] with the intersecting points of these circles from the levels of the heart.
They say, ‘Oh, this is a 6,000-year-old knowledge that we have to open its realities.’ They go into many other things. Its reality was brought by Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. The completion of its understanding is by Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They say that, in its understanding, the importance of dark matter because they don’t understand what dark matter is, but it’s haqqaiq and its reality is what we’re trying to explain. The one whom is trying to understand the physical dimension, the concept of darkness means that what’s in the darkness is far more than what you see manifesting because the darkness or what they don’t understand is that the center is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. That it’s not dark, but it holds the key to all manifestation on the circle of creation.
The Circle of Creation Begins and Ends at the Reality of Prophet ﷺ
Only from the circle of creation, if they want the keys to understand the created universe, they think they’re going into dark matter and the study of dark matter. But in its haqqaiq and its reality, the only key into that reality is the annihilation to the presence of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. In the oceans of those annihilation, what we give as a symbol for them to understand is like a black hole. That Prophet ﷺ annihilates everything because it comes back the same way it came out.
It’s a portal, that nothing manifests in it. So, if we say from La ilaha illAllah, it moves through a non-manifest state. As it moves through the reality and haqqaiqs of Prophet ﷺ in what look like a blackness, what they call dark matter but it’s actually what? Fana (annihilation) and that which comes out of fana and begins to manifest is the secret of creation. It’s not just appearing from nowhere. It’s coming from the desire of Allah (AJ) through the Akhfa (most hidden) reality of Prophet ﷺ, through the oceans of annihilation that not yet witnessed. So, that which is in this darkness is far greater than what is manifested. As soon as it begins to come out, it begins to manifest but you have to take the same door back. That if you’re in the world of form, you say, ‘I want to uncover the secrets of this universe.’ Well, you have to go back to the same door.
Become Nothing to Reveal the Presence of Prophet ﷺ
So, you come to the tariqahs (spiritual paths) and say, ‘Well, now that you manifested, if you want to go back towards the original state, we have to teach you how to break your manifestation.’ So, you come to the tariqahs to be effaced, broke down; nothing, nothing, train to be nothing, train to be nothing. As a state of being nothing, all of what we taught for binary code. The world and shaitan teaches you to be ON: ‘You’re the one’. The people, whom are arrogant and feel themselves the one, they see nothing of Divine Presence. They see nothing. If we come and teach to be nothing, the more you practice in being nothing, the more you begin to see the One.
The first One that you see is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Only the humble enter through the door of ishq (love) and muhabbat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because they’re not trying to compete with Rasulallah ﷺ. This is the first state of humility. They follow their shaykhs. They follow their guides for the love of Prophet ﷺ. As they begin to love and have this immense ishq, their arrogance melts and should be melting if they’re learning an appropriate way of how to connect to that presence and feel that true presence. That, ‘How could I ever think I was anything in the presence of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ?’ Not my wealth, not my knowledge, not anything of my family status, no name, no title means anything in the presence of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, nothing.
Sultanul Awliya (Q) Accesses the Hearts of All Creation
So, then this is now the first process of this nothingness and annihilation. Why? Because Prophet ﷺ is Al-Mahi, the one whom crushes everything. Crushing everything is this is the symbol of the blackness. Why they’re in black jubbas (robes)? Why you see them with black turbans? For the haybah (majestic power) of the Akhfa reality that anything that manifesting must come through Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Anything trying to go back to La ilaha illAllah must be obliterated and brought to nothingness like a dust. As a result of the one who understood that reality, if they enter into nothingness and they enter into the fana and annihilation, they’ve now entered back into the powers and power oceans.
Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would describe that these Sultanul Awliya (king of saints), when they say Sultanul Awliya, they’re not sitting on this Earth and playing. They’re giving us an awareness that, ‘No, my soul is in that ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, was annihilated into nothingness. As a result, my existence is in this ocean of baqa (eternal existence) in which everything is manifesting. Allah (AJ) has brought my awareness into all of it. As a result, I have access to all the hearts of creation’, Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would describe. The station of Sultanul Awliya has access to the heart of every creation in existence and people think from the physical phase or physical dunya, ‘How, how?’ They don’t understand.
Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya Gives Access to Power Oceans
If you go back into the origin, back to the lightning, back to the ocean of power, it’s that same one room; one power source that is powering all of creation in whatever direction of this circumference. The one whom sits in that heart, into that room of power, has access to ‘uloom ul awaleen wal akhireen (knowledges of the beginning and the end). If Allah (AJ) want for them, they have access to the hearts of all creation whether it’s an animal or creature, whether it’s a human and whether it’s a jinn (unseen being). Whatever Allah (AJ) created, it’s manifesting from that ocean of power.
The one whom enters into that room and into that authority is gaining access into the immensity of this oceans of power. They call it the Flower of Life. It’s the heart of life. That to reach back to the Divinely heart through the prophetic heart is the door of the Adamic heart and the study of that heart and power and to reach back to that qudra (power) is only held into the hands of the tariqah (spiritual path). I think now only Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order), at least from what we understood and know. If there’s others, alhamdulillah for them.
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa ﷺ wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
