Reaching The Arsh With Your Heart

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum

This is the complete spiritual path, the complete journey, the complete Tariqah, its aims, goals and everything it is trying to achieve;

Imam Tustari said in his famous Tafsir: “the nafs (self) has seven celestial veils (hujub samawiyyah) and seven earthly veils (hujub ardiyyah)”, veils cover the nafs and our perception about things…“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 its perception and the place it receives its spiritual nourishment from.

The role of the spiritual heart is to look into ghayb (the unseen) and gather information about your world. As you humble yourself before Allah, place sincerity and humility in your heart before Him, you aren’t, in reality, lowering yourself, you are in reality raising your heart, the thing that controls your senses and how you feel the world around you is being raised closer to Allah, until it reaches the Arsh in the place it receives its information from.

The heart in our chest senses into ghayb, the subatomic part of the universe to gather information about things we are doing in life, we call these insights into matters or moments of wisdom and inspiration. Allah created seven heavens, seven sub atomic depths, a person with a shallow heart can only sense to the first few depths to gather knowledge in his life.

So, his decisions are short sighted since materialism or focusing on material things makes the heart shallow in its decision making, it’s like a chemical reaction and this is the inevitable result for the person. Ghayb is were people gain wisdom from and the prophets recieve revelation and ti has seven depths untill it reaches the Arsh, sidrat al Muntaha in the Quran, the fursthest subatomic depth of the universe.

Allah mentions the heart reaching the Arsh and recieving from that depth in the Quran; “By the Star when it setteth, Your comrade (Muahmmad) erreth not, nor is deceived (by what He saw on the night of Isra wal Miraj); Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire. It is naught save an inspiration that is inspired (into the heart)…When he was on the uppermost horizon (of the universe near the Arsh). Then he drew nigh and came down. Till he was (distant) two bows’ length or even nearer (From Allah), And He (Allah) revealed unto His slave that which He revealed. The heart lied not (in seeing) what it saw. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he seeth? And verily he saw him yet another time. By (sidrat al muntaha) the lote-tree of the utmost boundary (At the base of the Arsh), Nigh unto which is the Garden of Abode (the seventh Jannah). When that which shroudeth did enshroud the lote-tree (when what covers most peoples inner perception, covered the lote tree), The (prophets) eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold (did not get distracted). Verily he saw one of the greater revelations of his Lord.”(surah – 53)

There is an immense amount of knowledge in each depth of ghayb about everything in life and each of the prophets that Muhammad (saws) saw on the night of Isra wal Miraj, in the different levels of Jannah, was an expert of that depth (that type of knowledge).

“The Prophet (saws) ascended until he reached the first heaven. When the Prophet and Jibril arrived at the first heaven, Jibril requested the gate to be opened. The angel assigned to that gate asked Jibril, “Who is with you?” Jibril answered, “It is Muhammad.” The angel asked Jibril, “Was he dispatched? Is it time for him to ascend to heaven?” Jibril said, “Yes.” So, the gate was opened for him, and the Prophet Muhammad entered the first heaven.”

“There, Prophet Muhammad saw Prophet Adam. To Adam’s right, the Prophet saw some bodies, and to Adam’s left, other bodies. If Adam would look to his right he would laugh, and if he would look to his left he would cry. Adam was seeing the souls of his descendants. Those on his right were his descendants who would die as believers and those on his left were his descendants who would die as non-believers.” (Adam the first man was an expert of the first spiritual depth mans heart would ever perceive after being created. This is the beginning of man’s spiritual journey through time).

“Then the Prophet ascended to the second heaven. In this second heaven was the Prophets Isa and Yahya. Isa and Yahya are cousins; their mothers were sisters. They welcomed the Prophet and made supplication (dua’) for him for good things.” (The place of each prophet from here has to do with their life story, His specific mission from Allah for humanity, and the state of the people He was sent to, and how spiritually advanced or simple they are because He was sent to cure and elevate them. Isa (as) was sent to materialistic people who only understood simple spiritual things, every time He (as) shared His (as) wisdom with them rather than dissect the wisdom or even challenge it with their own wisdom they made fun of His (saws) words like children, this was their mental state. Isa (as) said “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” they were lost in materialism and thus shallow, which is why He (as) and Yahya (as) were experts in the second heaven).

“The Prophet then ascended to the third heaven, where he found the Prophet Yusuf. The Prophet Yusuf was extremely handsome. Allah bestowed half of all beauty on Yusuf. Yusuf received the Prophet with a warm welcome and made supplication (dua’) for him for good things.”(Isa (as) knows how to cure materialism which is why when the Dajjal comes to spread it on earth Allah will send Isa (as) to kill him. Being lost in Materialsim stops you from sensing deeper than the second depth of ghayb, but the beauty we see on this earth, the beauty of nature and the things Allah placed in it, perceiving that and loving it is from the third Jannah and Yusuf was a master of that knowledge. Allah opened for mankind everything relating to the beauty Allah gave to the prophet Yusuf (as) so they can know it and experience it completely, hence beauty as we know it today is because of Him (as). The wisdom in Beauty is that attraction leads to knowledge, maarifah of that thing and from there deeper wisdom is gained about the world as it is carefully studied. Which leads to the kind of knowledge inspired by the next depth, or Jannah, and that is science and the Prophet (saws) responsible for it).

“Then the Prophet ascended to the fourth heaven, where he found the Prophet Idris. Idris welcomed the Prophet and made supplication (dua’) for him for good things.” (Allah gave Idris (as), who was one of the first prophets, knowledge of outer space, writing, mathematics, the calendar with knowledge of all things relating to it, knowledge of the seasons and many other things we take for granted today. From this we can understand the kind of spiritual depth required for people to master these and similar scientific subjects).

“In the fifth heaven, the Prophet encountered Harun, the brother of Prophet Musa.” (He was the advisor to the prophet Musa (as) who was the master of spiritual openings, so the fifth heaven or depth of subatomic space is where true spiritual openings begin. These prophets are singled out, even though all prophets reached the Arsh in their hearts, because it was through them that Allah introduced these things to the world for the first time.)

“In the sixth heaven, he encountered the Prophet Musa (saws).” (kalam Allah, the one Allah spoke to directly and sent him to al khidr to learn and master this subject we are discussing in this work, He is an expert of one of the deepest spiritual depths. Reaching the sixth depth of Jannah is where regular spiritual openings occur to a person, that is the meaning behind the story of Musa (as) and al Khidr in the Quran, after learning from al Khidr Musa (as) would have surpassed Him (as) because He is the master of this knowledge in Jannah).

“Each of these Prophets received the Prophet Muhammad with a warm welcome and made supplication (dua’) for him for good things.”

“Then the Prophet ascended to the seventh heaven, and that is where our Messenger saw the Prophet Ibrahim. The Prophet Ibrahim is the best of the prophets after our prophet, Muhammad. The Prophet saw the Prophet Ibrahim with his back against al-Bayt al-Ma’mur (which is like the Kaaba for Angels).” (Ibrahim (as) is the master of the deepest spiritual depth before the Arsh because He became Allah’s friend, so reaching this depth means you are granted friendship with Allah, and the term wali in reality means the friend of Allah. Your heart is now able to put the real picture of what life is meant to be, together to see it clearly, and from that see Allah’s hand in the universe working. Reaching this means you are now able to worship Allah as if you see him, which is the meaning of the word Ihsan (human perfection) that the prophet (saws) gave to Jibril (as) when the Angel asked Him (saws). From Ibrahim (as) would come the Jews and Arabs, the two people that would achieve the most in the way of Allah from the children of Adam).

“Then the Prophet ascended to what is beyond the seven heavens (into the Arsh, Angels and their knowledge stops at the Arsh, but mankind does not because of the kind of soul Allah gave them).” (Our prophet Muhammad was the beloved of Allah, He (saws) was a master of all spiritual depths and their knowledge, because through him Allah would open for mankind the science behind all things in the universe which was then granted to mankind; “In time We shall make them fully understand Our messages

[everything they perceive] in the utmost horizons [of the universe] and within themselves [the microscopic and sub atomic], so that it will become clear unto them that this [revelation] is indeed the truth.” [Qur’an 41:53] There are some from mankind who Allah allows to reach past the seven heavens and into the Arsh with their heart, which in its depth is larger than the seven heavens combined, this is also what the prophet (saws) saw on the night of Isra wal Miraj, He (saws) saw a youth run ahead of him into the Arsh, reaching this far with your heart means you are now one of Allah’s beloved people.)

“Say, “We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction (in rank) between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him.”(3:84)

“The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do the) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His (prior) messengers – We make no distinction between any of His messengers – and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journey.”(2:285)

The Source Of Each Knowledge

Here are the 8 spiritual depths (corresponding to each level of Jannah/space) that the heart is inspired by as it moves closer to Allah.

  1. Allah – Each person is born on a fitrah, Allah has placed in their heart that He exists, and to know Him you have to know what He created so you can see His qualities in order that when you finally see Him you have certainty of what He is like from your experiences in life.
  2. Materialism – Perception and knowledge Of the Physical World around you, (learning how to live and survive).
  3. Beauty – Perception of the Universes Natural Beauty (the first type of spirituality man experiences), love and Attraction is the source of all openings in the heart.
  4. Science – Attraction leads to in depth study of what you’re interested in or love, about a third of the Quran is Allah asking man to study the world and the universe more closely, “Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou canst see no fault in the Beneficent One’s creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts (faults)? Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim (by the amount of what you will find exists).”(67:3-4).
  5. Insight – Beginning of Inspired and deeper thoughts, Wisdom begins here and comes from knowing the details of how things work.
  6. Inspiration – Wisdom is mixed with experience, true Wisdom is gained and your thoughts are guided to the truth by the Angels.
  7. Sainthood – Wilaya, you become the friend of Allah and the Angels walk with you in life, shaping your perception so it is prepared to see Allah. Here you gain spiritual insights into matters and see them coming from a distance, thus you begin to put the complete picture of life together from its many spiritual and physical parts, using the knowledge of the previous levels to see the highest form of science (truth, knowledge, the actual reality of matters) in the universe. The closest thing man has to this today in the world is the study of subatomic space and the universe, how it works, how it was created and what it looks like. In the old world this was the highest aspect of Aqeedah that only the scholars and awliyah studied or understood. “Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty (control of the Universe), and, He is Able to do all things (in it). Who hath created life and death (the systems that make them work) that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving. Who hath created seven heavens in harmony (the seven regions of subatomic space). Thou canst see no fault in the Beneficent One’s creation; then look again (into subatomic space): Canst thou see any rifts?(tears in the harmony) Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim. And verily We have beautified the world’s heaven (Beauty leads to science, so study what you are attracted to)”(67:1-5)
  8. Allah’s Beloved – Your heart and soul have now entered the Arsh, a place Angels can’t go, you have completed the picture of the universe, understand what Allah created from the inside out and consequently see Allah in it and worship Him as if He is next to you, as if you see Him. Once you complete this path Allah makes you one of His mercies to the worlds, the universe, because its spiritual creatures will now learn from you. This is a description given to the prophets (as) in the Quran but its meaning is the reality of anyone who reaches this far, the prophets reached it with complete perfection and that is their distinction. At this point, the Angels take advice from you because your heart takes input from a place deeper than their existence. The great wali of Allah Abdul Qadir al Jilani said, there are shaykhs to people, shaykhs to Jinn and shaykhs to Angels, those who lead the Angels, and this is the meaning behind Allah asking the Angels to prostrate to Adam and mankind, the Angels now follow His lead in life because Allah demonstrated that He surpassed them.

One thing we can see from this is that irrespective of how shallow a person’s heart is, they can still be knowledgeable and shallow at the same time, to what ever extent, but the things they are knowledgeable about are not deep matters becouse they have no real sense of them.

A person to whom Allah gives wisdom his heart can sense deeper into ghayb, sub atomic space, to gather knowledge about the things he is focusing on in life, and as a result, his decisions have more insight, are more accurate, reveal the truth more often, have more consideration and are wise.

“He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding (men who have depth).”(2:269) pay attention to the phrasing, wisdom comes from the heart and His gift is overflowing, pouring out of the heart, pouring out of what it senses in ghayb.

This is why when Allah grants prophethood to someone he expands their heart (to ghayb), this means he allows their heart to reach to the deepest depth in ghayb, or sub atomic space, so it can gather information and sense from the depths of the universe about everything spiritually attached to an object or person.

Musa (saws) understood this and asked for it specifically when Allah granted him (saws) prophethood, “(Moses) said: “O my Lord! expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech, So they may understand what I say.”(20:25-28)

Allah similarly said to the prophet (saws); “Have We not expanded thee thy breast?- And removed from thee thy burden.”(94:1-2)

As a result of this opening of the heart to new subatomic depths people gain insight and wisdom, but when you reach even deeper your insight becomes so straight and correct it becomes firasa, inspiration about the truth of matters.

You see our actions in life shape our future and how we will “look” as we age, “Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved.”(2:286) this is all a result of our deeds in life, the effects (results) of our actions attach themselves to us spiritually or sub atomically shaping us as we age. This happens to everything in existence as it ages, what it did or occurred to it, its effects are attached to it shaping its appearance and qualities, so Angels, Jinn and those who have firasa can see the truth about matters, its true nature and qualities, that exist in ghayb because of that…Insha Allah, you can see this is all from science and the systems Allah created in the universe.

There are many ahadith and verses that explain this, but we won’t write a tafsir here; “We shall seal your mouths on that Day, and let your hands speak to us and your feet testify to what you had achieved.”, “That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.” (36:65) what your hands used to earn or what your hands used to achieve from your work is exactly how your actions shaped your limbs as you aged.

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Ittaqo firasatal Mumine, fa innahu yanzuru be Noorillahi”, “Beware of the intuition (firasa) of the believer. Verily, he sees with the light of Allah.” Then the Prophet recited the verse, “Verily, in that are signs for those of discernment (lil mutawassimeena, those who discern between truth and illusion, fancy, those whose insight is only the truth about matters).” (15:75) (Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3127)

Allah describing all of this said in a hadith Qudsi said; “…My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship so that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him…”

This “is a light that Allah bestows in the heart of his servant by which he distinguishes between truth and falsehood, advantage and disadvantage, and the honest and the liar”, and when the heart reaches the Arsh in its depth it gathers the most amount of information about a thing before drawing the picture for the person.

The Prophet (saws) himself taught us the science behind all of this;

Imam Abd al-Razzaq narrates that Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: “I said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, tell me of the first thing Allah created before all things”. He said: “O Jabir, the first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet from His light (all light is made of particles, so the prophets light was the first particle to come into existence from which Allah created the rest of the universe), and that light remained (lit. “turned” as all particles spin) in the midst of His Power (control) for as long as He wished (shaping it and influencing it. In modern scientific terms entangling it as he wished), and there was not, at that time, a Tablet (that preserves everything) or a Pen (that records and sees the future path of everything, quantum entanglement as we know it now did not exist yet) or a Paradise (that displays Allah’s blessing) or a Fire (that displays Allah’s punishment) or an angel (that works and creates for Allah) or a heaven (sub atomic space) or an earth (any physical thing) or a sun or a moon or a jinn or a man (any creature. This is the first moments of the universe before it expanded and created everything in it).

And when Allah wished to create creation, he divided that Light into four parts (this is exactly as physics calculates today, that particles split and created each other and the first particles were four in number which came from one single particle) and from the first made the Pen (before the Arsh, the boundary of the universe), from the second the Tablet (was created before the Arsh, meaning the shape of the universe we know did not exist yet), from the third the Throne (Allah creates the outer boundary, shape and edge of the universe. The Pen observed everything created after it, and the tablet preserved everything it witnessed after its creation, so they came first and the shape of the universe last), and then he divided the fourth [particle] into four [other] parts and from the first he created the bearer of the Throne (first Angels), from the second the Footstool (Kursi, the second boundary of the universe after the Arsh, or the second sub atomic depth of the seven Allah created, or the location of the 6th Jannah), from the third the rest of the angels (exactly as science teaches topday, everything is created from subatomic particles, but the prophet (saws) taught this in the language of the arabs 1400 years ago).

Then He divided the fourth into four other parts and created from the first the heavens (sub-atomic space as we know it, the universe was cooling at this point and changing, which is why the light particle we know today, the photon, could not exist until after it cooled to this point. This change is also why some ahadith seem to overlap in what they are referring to, but in reality they represent the same thing changing into something else), and from the second the earth (physical matter), and from the third the Paradise (everything in the seven Jannah’s is created after the space that it will exist in, is created first) and the Fire (black holes), and then he divided the fourth into four parts and created from the first the Light in the believers visions (the images we see in our mind, the brain creates its own light), and from the second the light of their hearts (the heart also creates light, an electromagnetic field) which is knowledge of Allah (how the heart knows Allah. The heart gathers knowledge about the world using this electromagnetic field just like animals use it to sense their prey. But this is so we can ultimately know Allah…through the same way we have explained in this article about how the heart works), and from the third the light of their inner harmony (Uns, living harmony between the spirits, the soul of man the light of the Angels and the light of Allah, in physics this is called the coherence of waves. The inner most light inside the heart) which is the Tawheed (the light that allows us to connect with the light of the Angels and His light to recieve revelation, inspiration or maarifah, so we can know that) ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, etc…”. (Abd al-Razzaq (d. 211) narrates it in his Musannaf according to Qastallani in al-Mawahib al-laduniyya (1:55) and Zarqani in his Sharh al-mawahib (1:56 of the Matba`a al-`amira edition in Cairo). There is no doubt as to the reliability of `Abd al-Razzaq as a narrator. Bukhari took 120 narrations from him, Muslim 400).

“Allah is the Light (particles) of the heavens and the earth (that our heart senses. His will is carried by the events of the universe and the heart learns from that)…Light upon light (particle within particle). Allah guideth unto His light (Allah guides the heart to see the correct picture) whom He will (the heart achieves correctness as Allah wills, based on our actions). And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories (to explain science), for Allah is Knower of all things.”(24:35)

إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلَـمُ

وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ

Shaykh Rami Al Rifai.

A Sad Story

At the end of the path/tariqah Allah opens the world of the Mala’ikah to you; Hanzala reported: “We were in the company of Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he delivered to us a sermon and made a mention of Hell-Fire. Then I came to my house and began to laugh with my children and sport with my wife. (Hanzala) further reported: I went out and met Abu Bakr and made a mention of that to him. Thereupon he said: I have done the same as you have mentioned. So, we went to see Allah’s Messenger (way peace be upon him) and said to him: Allah’s Messenger, Hanzala has turned to he a hypocrite. And he (the Holy Prophet) said Show respite. And then I narrated to him the story, and Abu Bakr said: I have done the same as he has done. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Hanzala, there is a time for worldly affairs and a time for (worship and devotion), and if your state of mind is always the same as it is at the time of remembrance of Allah, the Angels would shake hands with you and would greet you on the path by saying: As-Salamu-Alaikum.” (Muslim)

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Verily Allah ta’ala has said: ‘Whosoever shows enmity to a wali (friend) of Mine, then I have declared war against him. And My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved to Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to me with nafil (supererogatory) deeds until I Love him. When I Love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him; and were he to seek refuge with Me, I would surely grant him refuge.’ ” [Al-Bukhari]

This is the tariqah of tasawwuf/Ihsan explained in a single hadith, that opening, “When I Love him”, is the opening to the world of Ghayb initially and then the world  of the Mala’ikah eventually.

This is because the Mala’ikah are Allah’s hand in the universe and what the hadith is describing is the process of the Mala’ikah coming to you, when you reach “his hand with which he strikes” that is when the world of the Mala’ikah becomes open to you, and when you reach “his foot with which he walks” and completed that then you have perfected your Ihsan and become worthy of Allah saying you walk with Him and at that point the Mala’ikah will do as you ask completely, “Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him”, this when you see the wali performing what to us look like miracles but in reality are the Mala’ikah moving the universe as He instructs them.

Allah is often more merciful than that and his servants receive sooner because most live through trials not of their own making, some peoples trials are so severe He says to them “do as you wish I have forgiven you”, such were the people of Badr who were guaranteed Rahma.

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, this is an account of a conversation that occurred recently between myself and a Muslimah from Malaysia, although she wasn’t Malaysian but an Arab living there.

She was someone Allah and the prophet (saws) instructed me to help, the prophet (saws) went out of his way to assure me this was the person Allah spoke to me of, but ultimately fear of what I was warning her about being true won over her heart and she was lost to someone evil who befriended her under false pretences.

Some time ago the prophet (saws) informed me that before a fitnah in my life would lift Allah would send us a women to teach, she would be a sign for me that what was affecting my life is ending.

It was maybe over a year after this before the women finally contacted me asking questions about the Human soul and the Lataif in Islam for something she was working on.

Here is what she said;

AsSalamu-alaykum Shaykh Rami,

How are you?

When I typed in your email address it came up in my contact list. I have a feeling I may have contacted you almost 20 years ago in Australia to ask a question. I’m not sure. (She contacted me after the prophet (saws) spoke to me the first time, but she did not stay long after receiving her answers, her heart wasn’t receptive yet so I prayed to Allah to send her back if this was her, she also had just befriended this friend and wasn’t under her fitnah yet.)

I would like to ask you a question or two regarding the ‘ruh’ or ‘spirit’ as described by Imam Al-Ghazali in his Wonders of the Heart.

As I mentioned before, I am currently do a course in Spiritual Psychotherapy. After much research and exposure to the various healing modalities I have noticed a common thread in all where reference is made to a ‘life force’. It appears to be present in almost all ancient and spiritual traditions and all recognise it to have very similar functions for overall wellbeing.

I find it fascinating that Imam Al-Ghazali (and Shaykh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani and Ibn Sina (though some question his authority)) also describe something very similar.

They also make a point of it residing in the heart. This is actually a little difficult to explain in writing… however, I have been told that their observations are debatable and that to claim that what they’re referring to is the same as what is described by the other traditions (e.g. Chinese – Qi, Indian- Prana etc) would be blameworthy since no conclusive evidence would suggest that this ‘ruh’ is the same.

It is important for me to know if any of our scholars do consider this to be the case AND if in fact this ‘spirit’ (also known as the ‘Breath of Life’) does reside (or pass through) the heart (as mentioned by the scholars above).

This particular piece of information happens to make an important connection between this life force and the heart. I have a theory about the hearts role in regulating the life force by way of its own state, that is, if it’s very dis-eased, the balance and harmony of the life force is in turn corrupted in some way hence causing blocks and disruption to its flow and ultimately leading to various forms of physical illness.

I understand it is quite complicated and maybe not a clear cut matter. As their opinions stand, however, am I at liberty to quote Al-Ghazali and others to support my work? There is much more to my work, especially in relation to the heart specifically and its role in healing and its apparent direct relationship with this life force. But it’s too much to mention here.

Please forgive my very long email. It was hard to make this concise and I happen not to be very good at that anyway.

I did read your article on this. If I’m not mistaken I see you have made a distinction between the life force and the ‘soul’. This makes sense, too. However, in the work of some scholars it appears that they could be the same…? And, Allah knows best. May He keep us only within the safe bounds of Truth, always.

Jazak Allah Khair.

Thank you.

WasSalam.

I wont repeat the entire correspondence except for the first Question and Answer;

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum. These people you are referring to are any of them your teachers? there is an important principle among the scholars of tasawwuf that you don’t speak about something you don’t have experience with. If your teachers are masters at your craft but not tasawwuf, then you can ignore their advice in regards to anything the scholars of tassawwuf have said, that isn’t their area of expertise and they have no place passing advice like this, which at its heart is wrong. If they are masters of Tasawwuf then it is just they are following one school and teaching you that, so respect of their words is always important.

The problem with this entire area of knowledge today is that you are being taught the traditional sciences of Islam but if I said to you, because we are dealing with science not law or Aqeedah, would you today rely on science that is 500 years old, what you are relying on is far worse the interpretation of science that is 500 years old by people who don’t know science.

That isn’t criticizing the scholars of old they were using science to describe the universe, that is criticizing the people of today who have done no work to translate what those scholars said into modern science and are now teaching the laws of science from that time like it is magic, and calling it the spiritual world…Hope that makes sense, the scholars are talking about science in the language of their time nothing more. You have to understand the entire picture to see how everything fits in together, you want to heal the body, you have to know human physiology like a doctor, that should be something you look into. Life force is the power that comes from the soul to empower the body, daylight comes from the sun which creates it.

” their observations are debatable and that to claim that what they’re referring to is the same as what is described by the other traditions (e.g. Chinese – Qi, Indian- Prana etc) would be blameworthy since no conclusive evidence would suggest that this ‘ruh’ is the same.”

That can not have come from a person who is guided, blameworthy means Makruh, hated by Allah, and that statement is a lie against Allah who never spoke about such a thing. Be careful who you take your deen from sister this person is either salafi, deobandi or something of that nature, maybe even a fake sufi. In Islamic law one of the principle’s (Usul) of our Deen is that everything is permissible unless Allah mentions it is Haram, this is how the scholars passed down Fatwa for 1400 years other wise life would have been hard for people who would need a fatwa to do the simplest of things.

When the fitnah of the Salafi’s and Wahabi’s came they took this principle that all of Islam revolved around and flipped it backwards, they lied and said “everything is Haram unless Allah says it is Halal” so they can control the lives of people, this is how you get fatwa by them on women driving cars while the prophet (saws) permitted reasonable travel in places of safety for them, and other idiotic statements we have seen in the media (Allah clearly says in the Quran what is Haram is only for Him to decide, this is where this Usul principle comes from yet you will find them openly contradicting the Quran, Allah and every scholar in History).

The observations of Imam Ghazali are Law when these people are concerned, the scholars where not studying the world under a microscope and guessing what is right or wrong, they were being shown the universe and what is in it by the Mala’ika, I am speaking from my own Maarifah on this matter and know very well to what extent Allah shows the universe to His people, some scholars spoke to the prophet (saws) in their lifetime like you speak to someone on the phone or make a video call to, others spoke to him (saws) like you are speaking to someone in front of you, that is how accurate they are.

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me when he is awake; the Shaytan cannot take my shape.” (Bukhari)

I know this first hand, see my description of the Arsh in the notes section of my Facebook page. You may find other scholars who disagreed with Imam Ghazali, but ask yourself one simple Question are they Awliyah, one of the Arifeen, knowers who Allah revealed things to, or are they just lawyers (Faqih) simply objecting based on logic and what they think. If Imam al Ghazali disagreed with Imam Abdul Qadir al Jilani that is one thing, because they are similar Authorities, but if this disagreement was with say Ibn Kathir then you ignore Ibn Kathir who Allah did not open the universe to, and so they can only speak from logic and what they learned from books. (Allah revealed the universe to them and they used science to describe what they saw, insha Allah soon i will share one of my accounts and you will see how Allah does this with absolute clarity, today they guess at things like black holes while Allah took the prophet Idriss (as) to see one. Any errors come from the ability of science to describe the universe which they relied on to teach something they witnessed, errors don’t come from the ability of the Awliyah to learn from Allah.)

“It is important for me to know if any of our scholars do consider this to be the case AND if in fact this ‘spirit’ (also known as the ‘Breath of Life’) does reside (or pass through) the heart (as mentioned by the scholars above).”

The soul is in the chest, that is what I have read, personally i would say it covers the entire body, the heart is the window of the body to the soul, the spiritual heart is always looking at the soul and taking from it this is how you sense the world around you, the science of this the prophet (saws) mentioned in ahadith, he (saws) called it the light of the heart by which people know Allah.

The life force you are talking about, our physical contact with it is through the nervous system and all the organs, this is a matter of physics and physiology you have to know both so learn about them if you want to lead in this subject. Even if the life force ran through every inch of the entire body energy which is made of sub atomic particles focuses around centers of gravity (Any place that has Mass) and follows its paths like water flows down a river, energy follows the path of least resistance in the body, and that is the physical pathways that already exist in the body, the nervous system, which is like a river of electrical impulses…a river of sub atomic particles.

The physics of the nervous system influences the physics of the life force, just like the gravity of earth influence humans who live on it. You have to come to terms with the fact that everything in the universe is made of sub atomic particles, even the Angels and the Human soul which the prophet (saws) said explicitly in Ahadith, these particles are all governed by the laws of physics meaning we know how they behave and don’t behave from our study of them.

The next thing you have to understand is that you have to translate for yours self the science of old into modern science because we are both studying the same human body otherwise their language will start to sound like magic.

“I have a theory about the hearts role in regulating the life force by way of its own state, that is, if it’s very dis-eased, the balance and harmony of the life force is in turn corrupted in some way hence causing blocks and disruption to its flow and ultimately leading to various forms of physical illness.”

That is exactly what Chinese medicine says about this, the prophet (saws) said “Seek knowledge even unto China”, how can any Muslim then say learning from them is reprehensible, they are directly disobeying the prophet (saws) or worse deliberately misguiding Muslims.

“I did read your article on this. If I’m not mistaken I see you have made a distinction between the life force and the ‘soul’. This makes sense, too. However, in the work of some scholars it appears that they could be the same…? ”

Don’t worry so much about that, you can take them as the same because the soul creates the life force in the body, if you turn of the light bulb the light in the room disappears, we can’t touch the soul but we can influence the life force through the nervous system and that is what is relevant to your work. You can quote the scholars if you like, in general can you tell me the qualifications/caliber of who you are talking about next time, their words are concerning to say the least. Shaykh Rami Al Rifai.

After this reply we had a back and forth over deeper point’s that lasted for a few days, one thing was consistent in all her correspondence, proper Islamic Adab. I am contacted by people all the time about various things and i can tell you in over a year none have had the proper adab in conversation, some try, some fake it but unless you have actually learnt it and practised it all your life, even if you wanted to fake it you still wouldn’t know it.

From this I could clearly see what Allah saw in her and why he wanted me to help her and why the prophet (saws) would speak to me about her multiple times in a very short period of time to make certain I recognized who she was.

 

As I continued to speak with the sister we began discussing deeper matters, then eventually as she was expressing her understanding she began to repeat my own private thoughts back to me almost word for word on subjects I looked into over a year ago, but never mentioned anywhere. That is when I knew Allah had allowed our souls to meet long before meeting in life, the prophet (saws) said Allah takes the souls of the believers when they are asleep. At this time they talk to each other about the subjects they will talk to each other when they meet in life.

I knew from this Allah allowed us to talk so we would know each other in life, I don’t doubt the same occurred with my two cousins despite not seeing them for a long time, this is how qualities are passed on from one person to the next, their souls meet and talk, as a result they acquired my qualities even though we hadn’t seen each other in years.

At the same time I began to notice something was wrong, something was affecting her speech like a sihr was used to cut of her train of thought. I would ask her a question and she would reply and not answer the question, then she would immediately write and apologise, I remained mindful but let it go for now.

She mentioned that she Had a shaykh who she followed and that He took particular care in her instruction because she had recently been seeing things from Allah. I asked her about them and she said Her mother saw her in a dream from a distance, she had something written on her face so her mother came close to see what it was, she Had Allah written on her face in Arabic.

That’s when I immediately understood Allah was speaking to me and telling me how to help her, because In my life that is something very specific and significant to me, and Allah was using it to inform me of something.

Through this Allah confirmed my suspicion that sihr was affecting her, but i didn’t know the source yet so I began asking the Mala’ikah to look into some things surrounding her and deal with them. Over the next few days as I was helping her I eventually came across an evil in the world which I asked the Mala’ikah to deal with in a specific way, as they did the fitnah that was affecting me began to lift and I saw a strong light of Islam shinning from the place it had been which dispersed the darkness that was there and scared away the shayateen with its light, it was so strong and intense.

In general I will explain what I did, after seeing its nature, this fitnah was a fitnah of the nafs that made the claim on a world scale its people are the most intellectually superior in the world and with that they were attacking people around the world stunting their growth, this was part of the Maskh the prophet (saws) said would attack people, the prophet (saws) said it was introduced into the Ummah, from outside of it, by Saddam Hussain in Iraq then it will cover the entire Ummah as more leaders sought to control their countries with more subtle methods of control, like the Maskh of a population.

So I asked the Mala’ikah to hold over it the Maqam of one of Allah’s awliyah and test the truth of their claims, if they spoke the truth nothing would happen, but they lost completely and their evil couldn’t persist.

This is how reality and delusion work, Allah allows you to create delusions in the universe because it is part of people’s freedom to make mistakes, but the occultists of this world have learned how to use Mass delusion to make their world a reality, therefor when you challenge delusion with Haq it disappears so everything they are doing is temporary until Allah challenges it with the truth.

Had these people conquered the world with Haq, despite not being Muslim, they would have had an empire that lasted as long as the Roman empire which was pagan, but delusion disappears from the world faster than oppression.

I understood after all of this why the prophet (saws) was insistent on helping Her, Allah allowed me to find what was affecting me and its origin and free my self of it, the fitnah was now broken.

In her first response the sister mentioned she was working on something, it turned out she was working on a project for an Initiative a friend of hers which she met a year earlier was involved in and organising. Now that friend wanted to speak to me and gain my advice regarding her work and so she asked if she could contact me.

Some time later Her friend sent me two documents she was working on, presentations, which outlined a new initiative she was organising in Malaysia and that region to bring together all people of spirituality, scholars and Mureeds, Muslim and non Muslim, and provide support for them. Before reading the documents properly I asked two questions, who was behind the initiative and who was funding it, why do they want to gather all these people in one place.

That is when her correspondence stopped, she never replied, but as we spoke I noticed three shayateen I had never seen before enter my house and begin paving the way for her in my life, smoothing over anything negative and hiding any suspicion regarding her. That is when I knew what she was, so I read her documents more carefully.

As soon as I began reading the sihr that was in them hit me so hard I doubt she knew what the word subtle meant. The Prophet (saws) said “in sweet language there is sihr”, the underlying principle is that language can be used to delude people and cloud their minds. Her documents were laced entirely with it all through out the language she used which wanted me to ignore any suspicion and not question anything, what was worse is that it was written like something the Military wrote for a program they developed, or some research institute working for the Military, if you understand language you understand where expressions come from.

So I began investigating who was behind this new movement and asking the Mala’ikah to take care of every Issue I came across. In one of the documents was a list of organisations involved and as I looked into them and who funded them, it became clear this entire initiative was an attack on Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia by the people who run the major corporations of the world (You will see from the list below).

As I identified these people, at every step, I again asked the Mala’ikah to deal with the matter, I received so much help from them that a Jinn who was witnessing this asked one of the Mala’ikah next to me, “Can you really see everything” (About them), to which the Angel replied “I see right to the end when Allah will collapse the mountain on them”.

This is the exact conversation I heard, what He was referring to and I was shown what the Angel was talking about as He spoke, was the hidden Bunker/facility these people in charge of these corporations will eventually seek sanctuary in, they built it inside a strong mountain, from a distance it looked like Mount Assiniboine, a pyramidal peak mountain located on the British Columbia/Alberta border in Canada, it has an Elevation of 3,618 m.

I saw Allah collapse it on them as a punishment to show them they will find no place safe in the world when they try to run and hide from everything they caused, everything that is happening to the world.

I saw the entire mountain come down on their facility and they where all crushed. This was the kind of people her friend was involved with and now I found the source of sihr that was affecting the sister, so I began dealing with it.

The British at one point in history boasted about the railroad of networks they built around the world that allowed them to get at anyone apposing them. The Bible said this was a network of shayateen that Iblis gave them control over, this is how they built their empire, as I spoke to her friend and these Jinn entered my home to pave the way for her, I realised what she was because I had seen this kind of thing before every time I had spoken to someone who was a Freemason.

I dealt with that and I began dealing with her, most of the time when ever this occurred local jinn are obliged to let these shayateen do their work and not get in their way, its a political agreement they abide by. What I found from my own experience of dealing with these people is that when you accuse them with Allah of being a Freemason that gives local Jinn the freedom to step in and deal with them because the matter is now in the open and you recognise them for what they are.

They have to now step in because it is no longer hidden and they don’t want this group to gain any power locally, this is the arrangement and this is how to deal with this fitnah by shinning a light on it.

Most Jinn don’t like them and see them as something very dirty that needs to be dealt with before it spreads.

So I accused her in front of Allah and the Mala’ikah that witnessed what I was doing of being a Freemason and a Kafir to ensure the Mala’ikah throw that at her face as the prophet (saws) said would happen.

Not long after that two female Jinn came into my house and stood tall over one of these shayateen that was helping her and said to them, while referring to the women I was talking to so I understood, You swallowed their party line hole. Meaning she whole hardheartedly adopted masonic practice without hesitation to get ahead in the world, and after reading her documents it was obvious she was a Masonic witch responsible for indoctrinating new members and destroying Islam in the region through this initiative and its structure.

She must of been capable or they would not have put her in charge, but I’ve dealt with people more capable than her.

The document spoke about organising every kind of spiritual teacher and student into one of a number of consecutive circles, the organisations responsible for the initiative are in the inner most circle and the scholars and shaykhs at the outermost.

I doubt she thought i would see into this or she would not have sent it to me, but when you subscribe to an organisation you are also subscribing to the spiritual reality and structure of that organisation, your world will now react to you according to this artificial structure. This is one of the hidden realities of the universe Allah teaches His people about and it is a fitnah gripping the world because it is covered with organisations at the head of which are degenerates and Mufsideen deliberately placed there because they also understand this reality.

This initiative was designed to spiritually place the kufar above the scholars of Malaysia in the name of aid and to ultimately destroy their authority and spiritual presence in the country, thus ending Islam and turning it into Dubai or some other place where Islam is only there in name. I can easily point this out in minute detail from the documents, but this account would get to long.

As I was dealing with all of this I looked at the Facebook page of the sister i was trying to help to see if could find out more. That is when I noticed her photos, the photos from some time back, i think before she met this new friend, her face was full of nur (light) but in the most recent ones her face was dark and that nur was gone like someone had sucked the life out of her.

I saw how serious her condition was and that her religion was in danger but she didn’t realise it, she lived in Malaysia so I had limited contact, I then asked some of the strongest Mala’ikah with Allah to watch over her for the rest of her life and take care of the fitnah from this new friend, Allah wanted me to be thorough so I was, I instructed them that if this “friend” did anything else towards the sister to deal with her in the severest of ways, which they agreed to.

The Mala’ikah take matters extremely seriously when Allah is involved in something or the prophet (saws), and in this matter both had asked me to help her so I already knew the Mala’ikah would respond like this and made certain she was protected in every possible way from loosing her religion Insha Allah.

After seeing all of this and taking care of as much as I could I wrote her an email trying to teach her about her situation, this is that email;

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

Insha Allah I ask our conversations remain between us this helps protect the baraka in our words and ensures you get the complete benefit of my efforts.

I know why Allah sent you to me, this may not be easy for you but insha Allah you have enough trust in my words to take them seriously.

Do you know the saying read the fine print before signing anything, or watch the movie until the end of the credits, or the devil is in the fine print, the dream in which Allah was written on your face it relates to Allah teaching me how to see the spiritual fine print of things, especially companies, organisations and initiatives, insha Allah you can see what Allah asked of me regarding you from this, I checked spiritually and what I am saying to you is correct, your deen is in danger and Allah wants me to protect you.

Your friend sent me two documents which i went over, in the document were the credits, the list of organisations involved in the initiative you are helping. Before I go into that, do you remember the hadith of the prophet (saws) “In sweet language there is sihr”, the underlying principle of the hadith is that language can be used to cast sihr on a person, basically manipulate their perception so they become blind to something or delusional about what things mean, the first thing I saw when reading the documents was that there was sihr in the language.

It was unmistakable it hit me pretty hard, the language used cut’s short a persons perception and wanted us to take things at face value and not look past the good intentions of the work to see what is underneath. Any person reading this material or similar works will pick up some of its traits, like the persons language has been cut up or their train of thought has been cut short. I noticed this in your emails a number of times and wanted to get to the bottom of it, this is it sister. If you remember a number of times I asked you a question and a number of times you didn’t answer them but then sent me an email apologising, these are the symptoms of such sihr.

I don’t know your friend enough to accuse her of anything (I was being kind here and speaking from what little doubt I had left at the time, so I didn’t hurt her), if your wondering, she could be a victim like you, read enough of this material and eventually you start talking the way it is written then you spread it around and eventually think the way the language is designed, i know enough about language and how it can be twisted, at the moment my concern is you sister and I wont know anything about your friend until I talk to her for a bit longer.

Do you remember my first emails how I asked you about sihr and sent you that book, I noticed even before talking to your friend or seeing any of this, so Insha Allah you can see I am sincere from that.

That is the first Issue I noticed when reading the document and it hit me immediately, the second was the list of organisation involved which explained it all, i did a check to see who they are.

This is the list;

  1. Traditional Guilds
  2. Sufi Orders
  3. National Geographic Society
  4. Asia Society
  5. Sokka Gakai Society
  6. The Aspen Institute
  7. Integral Institute
  8. Alchemy Guild
  9. Lions Club
  10. Rotary Club

If i go through all them this email will be long, so i will pick just one, The Aspen Institute;

“The Aspen Institute is an international nonprofit think tank, The Aspen Institute is largely funded by foundations such as the Carnegie Corporation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Gates Foundation, the Lumina Foundation, and the Ford Foundation.”

When you see names like the Carnegie Corporation, Ford and Rockefeller, think new world order, the people working towards establishing one government to rule the entire world, the people working towards creating the system of the Dajjal that he will use to crush the world, the prophet (saws) said there will be forerunners to the Dajjal who will help pave the way for him, this is them.

Sister these are the people responsible for the fitnah in the world, they are the occult societies I mentioned and the prophet (saws) warned about, if you remember our conversation. The word think tank is a nice way of saying they think up strategies that keep their societies on top in what ever field they have their hands in, in this case religion and spirituality.

The document’s that were sent to me are all about bringing religious leaders, shaykhs and their mureeds under an umbrella corporation that would supply them with all their needs.

The people who pay the bills are the people in charge of you, this is a spiritual reality which impacts peoples lives, it means their Haq/world view will supersede your own spiritually because you took them as protectors over you, this is one way to dominate a people with out putting anyone in charge of them or over them.

When this happens in the world you see things like, say you get into an argument with a kafir, you quote the Quran but its words have no effect or spiritual impact, but when they Quote their kufr to you somehow their words carry more weight and you don’t know why.

This is why, they are paying for your clothes, books, shoes, supplies, resources, Imam Ali (ra) explained this when He said a country/people will never prosper or be free if they don’t make their own clothes and grow their own food, there are spiritual consequence’s to putting kufar over you and Allah warned about it in the Quran making it haram.

The Quran states it is Haram for a muslim to take the Kufar as Awliyah/protectors/Supporters;

“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other (Allah is telling you it is Haram to trust them). And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them (If you get involved with them Allah will consider you out of Islam, and He wont guide you anymore). Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoon (the people who took the Kufar as Awliyaa)”

[al-Maa’idah 5:51]

“You see many of them taking the disbelievers as their Awliyaa’ (protectors and helpers). Evil indeed is that which their ownselves have sent forward (Spiritually) before them; for that (reason) Allah’s Wrath fell upon them, and in torment they will abide (You are in this kind of Danger and Allah wants to save you from it).

And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet (Muhammad) and in what has been revealed to him (These Ayats I am Quoting), never would they have taken them (the disbelievers) as Awliyaa’ (protectors and helpers); but many of them are the Faasiqoon (rebellious, disobedient to Allah)”

[al-Maa’idah 5:80-81]

“Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Awliyaa’ (supporters, helpers) instead of the believers, and whoever does that, will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:28]

Don’t cut Allah out of your life because of them, they are not worth it, we do things for there benefit and Allah is telling you your efforts with them wont be rewarded by Him so don’t waste your life and akhira doing this work.

Insha Allah I haven’t upset you, I enjoyed teaching you and hope that continues, you don’t have to worry about this fitnah spreading I already took care of it, I asked the Mala’ikah (Angels) to deal with it and not long after I received a reply which let me know they wont let this effort continue, it will persist for a while then it will fizzle out when they see it wont receive support, they also confirmed what I thought about it sister.

What you have to worry about is quietly distancing your self from it, the verses in the Quran should be enough of a reason for you even if my arguments are not.

Khair Insha Allah.

Note: My words where to no effect despite this being fiqh in Islam, sadly she chose her friend over my advice because we had only known each other for a short period of time and unfortunately I haven’t heard from her since, I fear I my have lost her to this “friend” she chose to trust for over a year, so I gave her one more piece of advice.

I told her to recite surah al Zalzala over this matter because it help’s uncover secrets and anything hidden, insha Allah if she ever sees this work she understands my intentions better;

سُوۡرَةُ الزّلزَلة

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا (١) وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا (٢) وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا (٣) يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا (٤) بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا (٥) يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ يَصۡدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشۡتَاتً۬ا لِّيُرَوۡاْ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ (٦) فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرً۬ا يَرَهُ ۥ (٧) وَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ۬ شَرًّ۬ا يَرَهُ ۥ (٨

It’s entirely possible her friend was targeting me through her since she was responsible for why the sister contacted me, she was looking for shaykhs to enter the initiative, and because that witches sihr hit me openly and I had to deal with it before I could continue.

I’ve seen this kind of thing before a few times, people think they are smarter than they actually are or they think no else can see them or has experience with the world they are drowned in, some Muslim’s Allah shows them the fitnah that is killing the world so they can deal with it and those behind it, I am certainly one of these Arifeen.

There is an old saying in Islam, “Don’t ask the people of truth if you don’t want to hear the truth.”

I witnessed the amount of effort Allah put into helping her and the degree to which the prophet (saws) wanted to see what was best for her, so it is very sad the outcome was like this.

Most ordinary people are not equipped to deal with this kind of fitnah so I don’t blame her for not seeing it, or being able to cope with it, a person who has a good heart and maintains it Allah will send others to do that for them, so I think that’s what Allah had in mind, He knew how I dealt with fitnah in this world and so He arranged for her to meet me so I can help her in this way.

Insha allah you all learn and ask the Mala’kah to help fix the problems you see in the world, they are creatures of Ihsan and will go and look into something out of their Ihsan, so don’t worry if you are not a wali or have many faults, just say Ya Mala’ikah and ask, they have already said to me they will listen.

What The Arsh Of Allah Looks Like

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

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)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
