Imam Tustari said in his tafsir “Allah does no open the heart of a servant if it still contains three things, loving to remain (in this world), love of wealth, and concern about tomorrow.” The prophet (saws) said “What I fear most for my community, is that they follow their desires and have long hopes” because of what these things do to the heart.
The Imam also said in his Tafsir “the nafs (self) has seven celestial veils (hujub samawiyyah) and seven earthly veils (hujub ardiyyah)”, things that cover the nafs… in relation to mans character a veil is something that covers our inner perception about things…it makes our perception in varying degrees delusional, the imam then explained “when ever man buries his nafs (self) in earth upon earth (ardan ardan), (lowers his esteem and ego), his heart (qalb) is raised up heaven upon Heaven (sama’an sama’an). And when he (completely) buries the nafs (ego) under the ground (tahta at tara), the heart reaches the throne” (Arsh), in it’s perception and the place it receives it’s spiritual sustenance from.
This description is being given in regards to our other note “The Depth Of The Heart Is The Depth Of The Subatomic Universe and It Ends With The Arsh Of Allah” in which we related we had seen the Arsh of Allah in a dream (please see that note first);
“As i also related previously to those who asked, not long after we understood this matter and wrote about it in the journal, the prophet (saws) visited us in a dream with another prophet (as) and affirmed our understanding of the Arsh of Allah, after which i was blessed to see it.”
Usually such dreams are kept private for loved ones but we have spoken about this matter with others already who asked, and personally i would have loved it if others related what Allah gifted them when they experienced them, as the scholars often related their experiences and Allah said about the prophet (saws) in the Quran, “nor was he miserly of news from the unseen”.
That Night the Prophet Of Allah (saws) and The Prophet Ibraheem (as) visited us (we never saw the second prophets face later they corrected me and informed it it was the prophet Ibraheem (as)), and with them were two Angels, one standing next to me and the other in front of me, at the request of the prophet (saws) the one next to me opened the veils of creation so I could see the Arsh (Throne) of Allah very clearly like it was in front of me whilst awake, the other Angel had grabbed my shaytan (the enemy Allah specifically appoints to every person) so he couldn’t move or interfere and said to me he is exactly like you think He is, I saw him another day and thought he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing but he wouldn’t admit it even if I accused him. Then Rasul Allah (saws), after I looked at the Arsh for some time until it’s image was in my mind clearly, said to me the Arsh is exactly like you wrote, I wrote about it in one of my books (the chapter I mentioned earlier) about a week before this dream (it is the deepest subatomic layer in the universe), the prophet (saws) then instructed the Angel to make another opening in front of me near my chest, earlier I was looking up to see it, but now the prophet (saws) wanted to show me the Arsh directly in front of me to affirm what I understood, that it exists everywhere in the universe even on earth at the deepest subatomic depth, and to see it you have to remove the subatomic fields in front of it between it and us at the surface, it also extends to the edge of the universe and out surrounding it completely as narrations explain, the Angel removed the veils and I could see it again.
It was one of the most amazing experiences I had had, the Arsh is vast like an ocean, the largest thing Allah created, and insha Allah we will describe it;
After studying before hand what the scholars, ahadith and Quran all said about the Arsh and combining that with physics, I realized the Arsh isn’t at some distance away from us in the depths of space, like all scholars thought, it is spread out through all of space at the deepest subatomic depth of this universe, you can understand that from the verse that talks about sidrat al muntaha, which is the furthest limit in all directions, outward and inward, in all the created universe, the Angel confirmed this by showing me the Arsh above my head first then He removed the veils again at the height of my chest and told me to look down, I saw it just in front of me as well in that direction. Another indication is ayat al Kursi (2:255), the Kursi is another subatomic field, similar to the Arsh but exists closer to us, the area just before the boson particle field, this is why in metaphor it is called the Kursi (footstool) to Allah’s Throne (Arsh), and in the verse Allah says His Kursi covers the heavens and earth.
The Arsh itself makes a sound just like the prophet (saws) described in narrations which I heard, it was the sound itself above my head that woke me up in that dream first, if you ever hear the sound of space which they have recorded, that is similar slightly but not close or the same, it is a unique peaceful creaking sound which it makes in a similar rhythm to waves moving back and fourth at the beach.
The Arsh moves back and forth, visually if you watch this underwater video you will get an idea of what it looks like;
The colour of the Arsh isn’t water it is very similar to the inside of a mother of pearl seashell except with a dominant blue hue, in the video the water is shimmering and moving back and forth it does exactly that at almost the same speed but the shimmering of the Arsh is like watching the pattern inside the mother of pearl seashell shimmer and move back and forth, the viscosity is also much denser then that of water like something almost solid that moves fluidly like water with the pattern I described making a sound as it moves.
Here is an image similar to that pattern but it’s not the same, all of this will give you an idea but i don’t think any amount of words will describe it properly, a picture is worth a thousand words but a thousand words won’t paint a picture.
The Arsh is primarily blue, a Mother of Pearl Seashell has a similar pattern and luster to the Arsh of Allah, the pattern and luster move just like the water in the video, there is also more swirling in the pattern, the beautiful blue throughout is clearly the dominant color of the Arsh but not the only one, the shell pattern and color runs through the dominant blue giving it extra beauty and luster.
The Colour: It is a lot more beautiful than this, this is the closest thing I could find, the pattern of the Arsh is uniform and closer to the mother of pearl shell but the colour here is somewhat accurate without any dark ugly patches. In terms of look and feel it is somewhere between waves in an ocean and dense clouds in the sky, look at the lower left of this image that is the most accurate part.
Some blue Abalone shells are similar to it’s density and texture as it moves.
[Abalone shell, the shine the Throne isn’t off like this it is entirely soft and peaceful to look at like the mother of pearl shell. Many Prophets Have Seen The Throne In Visions But They Where All Shown Metaphors Describing Its Functionality In The Universe, Most Evidently Seen In The Bible, What We Saw Was The Throne It Self As It Exists!!!!!!]
In general I would say the beauty and peace found in sea shells is comparable, although less intense, due to the magnitude and size of the Arsh it’s aura of peace gently dominates.
The Rest Of The Dream
When we talk about this matter we have only ever spoken about this portion of the dream, but it recently came to my heart to relay the rest of it before we forget since we saw the dream a number of years ago and that it would be important for scholars in understanding this world and the unseen (ghayb). The prophet (saws) didn’t only visit us because we understood what the Arsh of Allah was, we came to understand what Ghayb, the unseen was and He also affirmed our understanding of it in the dream.
Ghayb the unseen is a word Allah mentions in the Quran often, it is mans spiritual side and the place where Angels and other spiritual creatures exist. Understanding Ghayb is so important to Islam that Allah opens the Quran by declaring clearly; THIS is a book specifically for those who believe in the unseen (ghayb/the subatomic); “This Book, there is no doubt in it, (it) is a guide to those who guard (against evil and) Those who believe in the unseen (the subatomic).”(2:2-3), the book of Allah is for those who believe in the subatomic!!!!!!
In the Quran Allah says many times, He guides man from the subatomic part of the universe (ghayb), for example in the verse of light (24:35), after Allah explains how His light exists in the Universe by outlining how the Atom is created, He says He guides man to Him through this process in the universe, while our bodies rely on what is occurring sub atomically to live, this is simple science.
Allah says to his Angels, who are created from light a subatomic particle, who live in the Unseen part of the universe and see what is veiled to us, “Did I not say unto you, `Verily, I alone know the hidden reality (Ghayb al Samawati wal Ard) of the Heavens and the Earth”, in other words how the heavens and the earth work and the laws they run by, the Angels could see the unseen but how can anyone see the Laws the universe run by, Allah was referring to a type of Ghayb the Angels could not see, which are the Laws of the Heavens (space) and the Earth, Allah rebutted them with physics.
From our study we came to understand ghayb the unseen is the subatomic part of our universe, from which all the laws of the universe are born, along with all the subatomic particles in it, Allah by simile calls all particles His light in the Quran.
The human body creates a strong electromagnetic field through the heart and brain which is connected to our nervous system, this is just the scientific name for light. When Allah wants to show someone something he places a light in their heart, the light of their heart can then see the unseen world, this is basic physics, just like our eyes need light to see the world our heart needs light from Allah to see the unseen world.
The prophet (saws) explained that man sees spiritually when Allah illuminates his iman (faith) with light. He (saws) explained this to his companion Haritha after he related a vision to Him (saws), He (saws) said to Haritha that “[you are] a slave whom Allah has illuminated the iman (light) in your heart” (Ibn Rajab al Handbali).
Imam Ali (ra) was once asked what is creation ? he (ra) said “It is like the dust in the air, it only becomes visible when the light of Allah strikes it”, in other words the universe is created from subatomic particles (dust) and the subatomic world is only seen when Allah places an electromagnetic field (light) in a persons heart so His inner sight can see.
To be succinct in describing the matter; It then became obvious that what a person sees in his dream is the unseen or subatomic world and its particles being molded into images just as they are when one thinks, either Allah creates that dream for him, the shaytan, or his own self, these are the three types of dreams the prophet (saws) said people have, in other words either Allah, the Jinn or our own mind arranges the subatomic particles to create the dream world…everything in the universe is created from subatomic particles even the Angles and our own thoughts.
We then realised that the only thing stooping us from seeing the unseen all the time is the barzakh (subatomic veil) Allah placed over peoples visions, otherwise we would see the Angels and Jinn all the time. “Behind them (those who died, in this life) lies the intervening barrier (Barzakh, stretching until) to the day of their resurrection (as long as the universe exists all subatomic fields will exist, Quantum Field Theory)” (23:99-100) When Allah took Adam (ra) out from heaven, He placed a barzakh (veil or field) over his vision so he couldn’t see the unseen world any longer, in other words man was created to naturally see the unseen subatomic world. On the day of judgment Allah will remove this Barzakh (veil) from people and He will say to mankind on that day “We have stripped from thee the Veil that covered thee and thy (inner) vision, this day is iron” (50:22), meaning the subtle world you saw in your dream or with your imagination will be seen clearly like solid metal.
After the Angel made the second opening in front of my chest in the dream so i could see the Arsh of Allah, the prophet (saws) explained that I was right about the unseen but as a person approaches wakefulness from his state of sleep that (limit between being awake and being asleep) is where the Barzakh is, between the two states, and it is stopping a person from seeing (the dream world) whilst awake. He (saws) then explained as a persons consciousness goes deeper spiritually, as long as the barazakh is there, the more they approach it consciously with their perception the closer they approach insanity, unless Allah removes it for them so they can see (like he did for the prophets (saws)).
The barzakh that Allah placed over man’s sight is responsible for insanity and delusions in the self, the field scrambles a persons mind as it touches it, if a persons nafs takes him there.
The prophet (saws) explained if a person purposefully approaches this barrier in his self trying to penetrate it spiritually, some people do this on purpose, and the barzakh hasn’t been removed by Allah they will go insane if they persist, He (saws) said this with a definite firmness so it is understood clearly, and this is the insane world we live in today where people are taken there on purpose.
Many people have been hurt spiritually by getting more spiritual than they are ready for, insha allah all of this isn’t to difficult to understand, it all has to do with the images we see in our mind and our imagination, which our desires follow from day to day, particles can be made to show the truth, a scientific television show, or they can be made to show fantasy, a Sci-Fi television show.
After explaining this in the dream the prophet (saws) instructed the Angel to remove the barzakh from my vision and sit me up, since i was in bed, He placed his arm behind my back and sat me up, then He removed it from me, the prophet (saws) then asked me to open my eyes to show me that from the dream world to the waking world is one continuous world, it is the same world and universe, it is not another world or universe as often is confused. Ghayb is the subatomic part of our universe it isn’t another reality or something more fantastic.
Before I opened my eyes He (saws) said “don’t be afraid you will still see (us, this won’t make you loose what you have seen already)”, I then opened my eyes and what I was seeing in my dream was still there while I was awake, I could still see the two prophets (saws) and the Angel next to me and the Angel holding my shaytan (at the end of my bed), more importantly I could also still the whole they made in the space in front of Me and through it the Arsh of Allah!!!!! All very clearly in the opening in front of my chest.
I looked around in this state and took everything in for some time, the prophet Muhammad (saws) then allowed me to breath and take it in before continuing.
The prophet (saws) then asked me to look at the Arsh again through the opening, and I did for a while until there was no more doubt left about anything, the prophet (saws) said you can place your hand inside the whole if you like, this was to reinforce that it was real, you can test it!!!!!
He (saws) wanted me to place my hand in the opening, but as I moved my hand into it towards the Arsh of Allah, just before we reached it haya (modesty) made me to shy to attempt touching the Throne, Allah istawa (established) His reality on the Arsh and the matter felt to great for us, later Allah in life Allah would affirm this was our distinction among His people and a test from Him relating to our excellence above others. When the prophet (saws) was certain I had seen clearly and took everything in, and there was no doubt left, He spoke to me and gave me some personal advice about being careful with my shaytan, after that the matter ended.
Why The Prophet Asked Me To Touch The Arsh: Holding onto Allah with nothing between you and him, no resource in life to protect you from the trials of this world except your prayers and the clothes on your back, means you are holding on to Allah’s Arsh, the light of His face. The prophet Adam (as) when Allah sent him to earth was in such a state, He had no sword or shield to protect Him (q) and their reliance never stood between him and Allah, it was Him Against the raw power and forces of the universe. For much of our life we have faced fitnah after fitnah with nothing to protect us from them except our prayers and Iman, as we have been informed that is why the prophet (saws) asked me to grab the Arsh, because our entire life we have been holding on to the light from the face of Allah and Allah will resurrect us in such a state on the day of judgment:
Ibn Masood (ra) said “there is no night or day with your lord, the light of the Arsh comes from the light of His Face”.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
We are not the only person to have such experiences, Abu Huraira said I heard the Prophet (saws) saying, “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me in his wakefulness, and Satan cannot imitate me in shape.” (Bukhari)
