The Muhammadan Reality Pt.3

The force of gravity, which is thought to be a particle, influences the universe because the mass of matter in a location concentrates it, so a planet has more gravity than a moon, this force is what shaped the universe and decided how things were created from sub atomic space in our world, Allah teaches bout how gravity through the earth and other planets influenced sub atomic space and created its seven layers; “It is He who has created for you everything that is in the earth (physical matter before life) and then turned towards (istawa) the Heavens (sub atomic, which was one) and fashioned it as seven (layers) and He has knowledge of all things” (2:29), physicists reading this will see how general relativity and quantum mechanics are unified, meaning how How space-time is built by quantum entanglement.

A particle is a packet of energy no matter how small so as gravity was being concentrated in an area because all the planets where being created, energy densities at the sub atomic level then became more important in how particles interacted with each other and created things, the first impact of gravity on the universe was creating the seven sub atomic layers each now with different kinds of particles in them.

It is interesting that Allah ends the verse by saying “and He has knowledge of all things”, we should know by this association with the other subjects in the verse Allah is linking His knowledge in the universe with gravity and how everything was created. Our spirituality comes from the forces of subatomic space, our wisdom comes from sub atomic space and our knowledge comes from sub atomic space all through the heart that senses it, so understanding that each level of Jannah and each depth of sub atomic space is responsible for a kind of knowledge that now exists on earth shouldn’t be to difficult especially when many ahadith and verses in the Quran indirectly say this.

We begin to see this once we complete the picture of the universe and combine the knowledge contained in Islam with that of science as Allah wanted (41:53). We know one of the deepest depths in sub atomic space is the Kursi and ibn Abbas (ra) said “Kursiyuhu Ilmuhu”, His Kursi, that depth, is His knowledge.

That is one of the most significant scientific statements about the universe in Islam because today science is studying how space-time (the universe) is built by quantum entanglement, the entanglement of every particle in the universe together, from this process time is created, space is created, particles come into existence (24:35) and life and all knowledge is born, so once you understand what you are looking at in all this you then know that “Kursiyuhu Ilmuhu” doesn’t mean the knowledge of Allah is contained inside the kursi like words in a book, His Kursi is vast (Wasi’aa Kursiyuhu, 2:255) spread throughout the heavens and earth, it means the Kursi is responsible for quantum entanglement as we know it today because entanglement is responsible for the existence of all knowledge in things as it built space-time and every life in the universe.

So Allah ends a verse about how space time is built by saying “He has knowledge of all things”, in other words His Kursi, which is His hand in the universe regarding this matter, played a role in this, but Allah ascribed the act to Himself because He used the word Istawa in the verse and in this context it means immediate, direct, “and then (He immediately) turned towards the Heavens”, like this occurred in no time and He did something special.

Today man through his physiology is inspired with the many things that now exist in ghayb, it then should be natural to see that Allah has prophets that mastered each area of knowledge that inspires man in life and that one among them would master the greatest spiritual depth of them all, the Arsh.

Sayyiduna Maysarat al-Fajr narrated: “I said: “Rasul-Allah! When were you made a Prophet?” He replied: “When Allah created the earth and turned to the heavens (subatomic), arranging them into seven heavens.”

On the day of oaths Allah gathered all the prophets together and shined a beautiful light upon them, when they asked Allah what it was He answered this is the light of prophet hood, the light they will be given in life, then they were made to swear the oath of prophet hood by the light of the prophet Muhammad (saws), hence the owner of that light is the only one that can master its limits.

“When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam – from their loins – their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): “Am I not your Lord?”- They said: “Yea! We do testify!” (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: “Lo! of this we were unaware.” (Al-Araf:172) All prophets took the oath of prophet hood before coming into this life hence Imam Ali (a.s) said: “Allah sent prophets to remind mankind of their oath to Allah”, Allah sent people who He placed on them the responsibility of representing Him from before they where born.

The first particle (light) Allah created exists at the deepest sub atomic (spiritual) depth, its “light” influences every other particle above it to our earth, but not vice versa, because larger particles can’t exist in a place smaller than them, so a person given light made from this particle can know the spiritual reality of everything while they can’t know His to the same extent because their light can’t penetrate deeper into matters.

As you move closer to Allah, he grants you different lights from one of the seven levels of Jannah and the Angels found in them, the light of prophet hood comes from a place inside the Arsh beyond these levels.

This is why this light has the role of being the light of each prophet (as) by which they guide mankind to the light of Allah in the universe and His light is the most exalted, established on the throne in its totality at the furthest subatomic limit. One kind of light raising you spiritually to another light and so on until you reach the source of all lights (particles).

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth…Allah guideth unto His light whom He will.” (24:35)

The light of the prophets is the only light that can penetrate to the source of everything and reach past sidrat al muntaha (the furthest limit) which is the limit of the Angels, the limit of every lessor light that guides mankind, and into the Arsh to know Allah perfectly, in understanding this is the meaning of Tawheed, and only having Allah’s light in your heart.

This is why some from mankind are leaders to even the Angels and the one who mastered the light of the prophets is the only one that could travel to the distance of two bows length near Allah, mentioned in the Quran.

Allah placed the Prophet (saws) next to Him, in respect to everything the Arsh does in the universe regarding His Istawa (establishment) upon it. Having read our work, you should now be able to understand what most western translators have not from the scholar’s words on al Haqiah al Muhamadiya.

Allah asked us to know Him in this life so by understanding our reality and limitations we can see how Allah is divine and deserves to be worshiped even if we attempt to measure our differences, Allah is our Illah in all Haq so He isn’t concerned if you try to see why.

Our perspective on life is that of experiencing it through the passing of time, one moment after another, but Allah isn’t bound by time and doesn’t see life from one moment to the next, He sees all of time and everything that occurs in it all at the same time. He is the first, and the last, means all of time is contained in his gaze and events are playing out so everything can have its identity.

We maybe lost in the middle of the flow of time not seeing its ends but Allah Is (passing of) Time, who he is the complete picture of time that will be revealed over its entire existence. Change in the universe is tied to time because the stuff space is made of is connected to it, what happens to one happens to the other.

If you want to see where Allah is in the universe, Allah says “In My hand is the night and day”, change itself. His presence is behind the forces you see working in the universe, it is hard for people to see Him because you need to purify your body so its senses see the most subtle things, and after you have gained the knowledge you need from that to understand what you are looking at spiritually, you will see Allah in that picture.

First you will see what Jinn are responsible for in your life, then you will see what Angels are responsible for in your life, then you will understand where Allah is above them as you learn what to attribute to Him and to them.

The prophet (saws) was the first and last in many things, just like Allah, His (saws) light was the first particle Allah created and from it everything else was created, He (saws) was the first prophet Allah appointed and He was the last to be sent and the last of the prophets to receive that light. Being the first to exist in the universe means you have spiritual superiority over everything that is created after you, just like the elderly know more than us and that is their superiority over others.

This is a spiritual Hierarchy Allah created in the Universe regarding the order things came into existence, Mika’il for example is superior to Jibril because Allah created Him first from older particles.

“HAS THERE

[not] been an endless span of time before man [appeared, a time] when he was not yet a thing to be thought of? (76:1)

Unlike Angels who have been in life since the day they came into existence, for mankind Allah did something different which is stated in ahadith.

The prophet (saws) said “souls are like (people in) crowds which gather together (some naturally gravitate towards each other). The ones who met before (life) get on well (in life). The ones, who did not meet before, cannot get on very well and separate.” (Bukhari)

Because of the Haqiqah Muhamadiyah mankind’s reality existed before Angels where created, and our souls where created long before our bodies where born.

Man is being held accountable for this endless span of time (76:1) because he existed throughout it but his soul was not yet given a thing by Allah, which is why elsewhere in the Quran He is then held accountable for the faculties he is given so he can gain his individuality, “Then He (Allah) fashioned him and breathed into him of His (own) Spirit; and appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!” (32:9).

Mankind came into life last of Allah’s creatures because Allah wanted to gave man spiritual superiority, that comes from age, over everything Allah created so just as we can test Allah’s superiority mankind’s is also a Haq. Our bodies may be young but our souls and reality are ancient as old as the universe which is why through wisdom we dominate every spiritual creature Allah ever created.

The prophets among mankind surpassed all of humanity in this receiving their prophet hood, which is basically responsibility of the universe, before Allah created any human in life.

The Mohammedan reality explains the superiority of the prophets (saws) over everything else in the universe and that superiority helped shape the creation of the universe which is witnessed by the fact the prophets name was written on the Arsh.

Once the framework of the universe was created the Prophetic reality, the reality of all prophets, shaped all things within that framework and you will find evidence of this in what Allah gave other prophets.

The prophet Muhammad had spiritual primacy but Adam (as) was the first man whose shape all mankind including the prophet Muhammad (saws) took, Ibrahim was Allah’s intimate friend (khalil) whose Tariqah our prophet (saws) and mankind took to becoming His beloved, Musa (as) spoke to Allah directly which opened the way for the prophet (saws) and mankind reaching the distance of two bow lengths in nearness to Allah, and among Christians you will find statements about the primacy of the prophet Jesus (saws) who was Allah’s word given form just as the universe came into existence from nothing, His (saws) likeness is that of the prophet Adam (as) so He (as) achieved exceeding purity free from the influence of lineage except through His mother (as).

“Truly I was [already], in the sight of Allah, the Seal of Prophets, when Adam was still kneaded in his clay.” (Ahmad among others)

It has been related by al-Bayhaqi on the authority of Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace said: “Allah took Ibrahim as a Bosom Friend. He took Musa as a Confidant. And He has taken me as a Beloved. And Allah ta’ala then said: ‘By My Might and Majesty I have given preference to My Beloved over My Bosom Friend and My Confidant’.”

Once Allah’s beloved come into existence, He (saws) opened its reality in life for Allah’s friend and confidant as they opened what came before it for Him (saws). Its because we rely on the work of those that came before us that Allah said; “We make no distinction between any of His messengers” (2:285) and so all the universe and its spiritual creatures relies on mankind for guidance.

The Muhammadan Reality

The Muhammadan Reality (Haqiqa Muhamadiya) is one of the deepest subjects in Islamic sciences and to understand it properly you need an understanding of the universe and how it was created, otherwise, even though we have simplified the subject you will not know how it fits into the bigger picture and miss much of what is meant, misconstruing everything. The scholars who spoke about it did so because they understood what the universe looked like, its many parts, and how it all fit in together and from that they could draw deeper conclusions, this subject fits into that type of Islamic knowledge and requires prerequisite subjects to understand it.

We have already covered in our tafsir to ayah 23:116 the foundation of the scholar’s words on this subject, because understanding how Allah is reality makes it much easier to understand how Allah raised the Prophet (saws) to a place of influence in it. Something Muslim scholars know with certainty (Al Yaqeen) because Allah placed His (saws) name on the Arsh responsible for Allah’s reality in the universe.

The simple fact is creation had to fulfil what Allah wanted from it for it to be a successful creation, but not all of creation was capable of this, most would be sinners, the one who could do so on behalf of everyone, Allah created everything because of Him (saws), and because He (saws) was behind Allah’s intention in shaping the universe He wrote His (saws) name on the Arsh since it deserved to be there next to His name on the place He established (Istiwah) Himself.

Imagine Allah granted you things in the universe based on your ability to know Him, the nature of the Prophets is such that Allah created things in this universe entirely because of them, because its creatures would need them to know Allah, this is what the Prophets (saws) earned in that Jihad (struggle), they earned what was needed to know Allah entirely, but Allah began creation because of the prophet Muhammad (saws).

So, after Allah’s reality the Prophet’s reality is the most elevated and the first to come into existence before any living thing is created, (even the prophet), when Allah said Kun (be) the universe was created according to Allah’s intention with that word and the prophet Muhammad (saws) was the reason it was spoken, so His (saws) reality shaped everything when that word was spoken, that is how far elevated the prophet (saws) is above us with Allah.

After creation began, Reality in this sense refers to the first aspect of what you are coming into existence, and the Prophets (saws) light was the first thing Allah created, it was the first aspect of Him to come into existence, and the light of Prophethood that each Prophet was given in life to prove they are prophets, this was, of course, the first subatomic particles to exist, and Allah created the rest of the universe from them.

“Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace is the totality of the spiritual Path, because the entire existence, as the People of Allah have said, is a tree and the roots of this tree of existence is the Light of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The entire existence from its elemental origins take its source from his Light (saws). Thus Allah ta’ala made that Light the root and foundation of every light. He is the first of them to be transcribed and the last of them to appear. He was the seed of the tree of existence first and the fruit of the tree of existence lastly. For a fruit bearing tree produces the very seed which is its origin, because the seed in the beginning is concealed until the form of the tree manifest. Thus, the tree in its end is made manifest from the seed that was concealed in it. For Muhammad (saws) is the root of this tree of existence and he is its external appearance. May the best blessings of Allah and His peace be upon him. He, may Allah bless him and grant him peace is the depository concealed in the couch of Divine Intimacy, well established in the Gardens of Divine Intimacy and in the Presence of Divine Intimacy. The secrets of Allah’s spiritual realities are concealed under the veil of his physical appearance, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.”

The verse of light, as we have shown in our tafsir is a description of how Allah brings particles and atoms into existence, subatomic particles are the light by which man has Maarifah (Gnosis), which is why Allah ends a verse about sub atomic space by saying He guides people to see by these particles. The spiritual heart, the part of our heart that senses sub atomically because of its nervous system, uses these particles to sense the world around us, as the Prophet (saws) explained.

Ubayy ibn Ka’ab said, “The similitude of His light

[takes place in] the Muslim’s heart.” (Ibn Kathir, 3:464)

The prophet (saws) said, “Hearts are Allah’s vessels on earth, and most beloved unto Him are the finest, firmest and clearest of them (in seeing that light).” (Al-Hakim, At-Tirmidhi)

In physics, particles travel through space like a wave in the ocean and when the waves want to pass information from one to another, how clear or unclear the signal or reception is between them is called the coherence of waves, it determines how well you receive the message.

In the verse of light Allah uses the analogy of an olive tree to describe the process, the fruit of the tree the olive (particle) comes from the tree and its roots (the first particle, the light of prophethood), this is describing the process that occurs in sub atomic space and many commentators said this verse is a description of the prophets light as it created everything else:

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star (the Atom). (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree (from within sub atomic space), an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light (particle within particle). Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things.” (24:35)

Tafsir Ibn Abbas: “it is also said that the verse means: the likeness of the light of Muhammad (the light of prophethood mentioned in ahadith) in the loins of his forefathers (as it was passed down from prophet to prophet) is like this, up to Allah’s saying (… kindled from a blessed tree). He says: the light of Muhammad in Abraham was an upright religion (olive tree), and Abraham was neither Jew nor Christian (neither of the East nor of the West), the works of Abraham would almost glow forth in the loins of his forefathers like this (would almost glow forth (of itself)), up until Allah’s saying (kindled from a blessed tree) He says: as if it is the light of Muhammad (pbuh) and if Abraham was not a prophet, he would still have this light (though no fire touched it)”.

Tafsir Al Tustari: “The likeness of his light means the likeness of the light of Muḥammad. Ḥasan al-Baṣrī said, ‘He intended by this the heart of the believer and the luminescence (ḍiyāʾ) of professing the divine oneness (tawḥīd), for the hearts of the prophets are far too brilliant in their light to be described in terms of the likeness of these lights. He said, ‘The similitude of the light of the Qurʾan is a lamp (miṣbāḥ), a lamp whose candle (siraj) is gnosis (maʿrifa, this light is the source of Maarifah), whose wick (fatil) is the religious obligations (faraʾiḍ), whose oil (duhn) is sincerity (ikhlaṣ) and whose light (nur) is the light of [spiritual] attainment (ittiṣal). Whenever the sincerity increases in purity, the lamp increases in brightness (ḍiyaʾ); and whenever the religious obligations increase in [inner] realisation (ḥaqiqa), the lamp increases in light (nur).” Such is the light of Allah in the human body.

Tafsir Maybudi: “The likeness of His light. A group of the commentators have said that the pronoun refers to al Muṣtafa (the prophet), for his creation was light, his robe of honor light, his lineage light, his birth light, his contemplation light, his practice light, his miracle light, and he himself, in his essence, was light upon light. He was a paragon in whose face was the light of mercy, in whose eyes the light of heedfulness, on whose tongue the light of wisdom, between whose shoulders the light of prophethood, on whose palm the light of liberality, in whose feet the light of service, in whose hair the light of beauty, in whose disposition the light of humility, in whose breast the light of contentment, in whose secret core the light of limpidness, in whose essence the light of obedience, in whose obedience the light of tawhid, in whose tawhid the light of realization, in whose realization the light of success-giving, in whose stillness the light of reverence, in whose reverence the light of surrender.”

“Surely the Messenger is a sword glittering bright, Indian steel, a drawn sword of Allah.”

Imam Ibn Arabi said the “origin of creation” is the Particle (Al Haba). The “first existent within it” is the Muhammadan reality (The prophets reality) pertaining to the all Merciful (al Haqiqa Muhamadiay al Rahmaniya), [a Reality] which is not restricted by position, since it is not spatially confined (li adam al-tahayyuz). (His reality was created first and guided the rest of creation into coming into existence. Because He was first, reality came into existence, receiving mercy from Allah (saws) that shaped the universe according to His Maqam (rank). The Arsh stopped shacking when His name was written upon it so the rest of the universe could be created after it stabilised).

The Imam continues; “From what did [creation] come into existence? From the known Reality which is described neither by existence nor (complete) nonexistence (meaning the existence of its definition with Allah, before it was created).

“Within what did it come into existence ?” Within the Particle (Al Haba. Allah created the universe from particles, and the first particle was called the Prophets light).

“In What likeness did it come into existence?” The form (sura) known within Allah’s self (nafs al Haq, His knowledge of things before their creation).

“Why Did it come into existence?” To make manifest the divine realities (Al-haqa’iq al-ilahiyya, so Allah could be known. The prophet (saws) would know Allah completely on behalf of the rest of us. It was because of this responsibility that the Prophet (saws) took no intimate friends in life, so He (saws) could focus entirely on Allah. The prophet (saws) said “Abu-Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I were to take a Khalil (an intimate friend) from mankind I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr.” (Bukhari)).

“What is it’s goal?” Deliverance from mixture (Mazaja, uniqueness of being. We existed in Allah’s knowledge before creation and that existence was a mixture of all of Allah’s knowledge together, like every word in a dictionary is part of a book that is called a dictionary and no single word in that has its own unique book to be known or identified by. Our creation is Allah giving each piece of knowledge its own unique existence and freedom to choose what it wants to be.) The Imam continues; so that each world (alam, type of creature and it’s environment) may know it’s share (hazz) from it’s Producer (munshi). So it’s goal is to make manifest it’s own realities (so that each planet and its creatures can differentiate from each other and manifest the reality and those of His Qualities He placed in them).

The praised station (Al-Maqam Al-Mahmud) and The station of mediation (Maqam Al-Wasila) is a rank in Paradise that no one but the Prophet Muhammad (saws) shall reach because of the Muhammadan reality, but other prophets where given a chance and the Prophet (saws) indicated the Prophet Dawwud (saws) may receive it, each Umma prays for its prophet and so we pray for ours.

The prophet (saws) said “Then ask Allah to grant me the mediation (Wasila), for it is a rank in Paradise that none but a single servant of Allah’s servants deserves, and I hope that it be me, so whoever asks Allah that he grant me the mediation shall have my intercession”(Muslim)

“It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqaman Mahmooda” (17:79).

For 1400 years now when the Adhan is recited for each prayer, all Muslims around the world say the following prayer for the prophet (saws) after it, the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “Whoever says the following after hearing the call to prayer deserves my intercession (shafa`a) on the Day of Judgment:

‘O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and ready prayer! Grant Muhammad the mediation (wasila) and honor, and resurrect him on the praised station that you have promised him.’”
