Irfan (Volume - 2) / IRFAAN-2

Similarly when the Tree of Malakoot arises out of the Fruit of the Nasoot of the human being as a green tree, many thousands Abstract human beings develop in form of fruits on it and when he previously used to read the Name of Allah Almighty or the Words (of revelation) of Allah Almighty one time, then now he will be saying Allah and will be reading His Word through seventy thousand tongues of the Bulk of Qalb of Malakoot (heavenly bulk of the Qalb). You can imagine the cases of the Subtleties of Spirit and Sirr likewise. It has been instructed in a Hadis that when a person sleeps doing the Zikr of Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty creates a bird from the tongue of this Zaakir that has seventy thousand heads and in every head there are seventy thousand tongues which does Zikr with all these tongue and the Sawaab of it is credited to the Zaakir. Thus the hint that has been given in this Hadis, pertains to the aforesaid Bird of the Subtleties of the Bird of the Lahoot and Malakoot of the Qalb and the Ruh (Spirit) which indicates that when a Living Hearted and Living Spirited Saalik sleeps while saying Allah Allah, during his sleep, his verbal Zikr transforms into the Subtleties of the Qalb and the Ruh and his Qalb and Ruh start uttering the Zikr of Allah in a way that the Inwardly Appearance of that Zaakir transforms like that bird and fowl that has seventy thousand heads and each head has seventy thousand tongues inside it and that Inwardly fowl, as a nightingale that tells thousands of tales, stars chanting the Zikr Allah Allah with its seventy thousand tongues in each head and reads the Word of Allah. Moreover, when the Arif Saalik has reaches the Ultimate Station of the Salook with the Beneficence-and-Fazal (Grace) of Allah Almighty, the entire universe and all that it has in it and the Jinn and the Angels and the Arwah (Spirits) accompany him in his Zikr and Dawat and the Saalik gets the Sawaab of all as it has been mentioned in the Holy Quran regarding Hazrat Daud Alaihis-Salaam that the mountains and birds joined him and contributed in his chants of the Zikr and the Hymn of the praise of Lord:

Allah Almighty says: O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise!

Allah Almighty says: and We subdued the hills and the birds to hymn (His) praise with David (21:79)

*

Hence, this 'accompanying' is not an exaggeration or overstatement which can be referred to some echo or resonance or can be taken the hymn and extol through the present condition of the birds and hills as some sensual Outward seer (Materialistic) commentators have explained and put forth. This echo and the hymn of the praise of Lord is common for every human being then what was the need of specially mentioning and pointing out only Hazrat Daud Alaihis-Salaam for this. Instead, it is a solid fact that the entire things of the universe including the living and non living things contribute and accompany the Zikr of the Kaamil Arif. There is no need of hints or metaphors here. In short, the more the capacity of the Kaamil Arif Human being is, the more powerful and capacious is his Zikr and the more Zaakireen join him in his Zikr. Thus, the capacity of the body of Hazrat Daud Alaihis-Salaam was so capacious and powerful that his hymn and praise also invited and accommodated the hills and birds in this activity. However, only those people can understand the state and condition of this Inwardly Zikr, Hymn, Extol and Recitation; who experience this situation. The blind outward seeing people are totally ignoramus about this reality.

Allah Almighty had granted all the previous Messengers two kinds of Portents and Miracles according to their respective capacity and capability: Portents (or Revelations) of Afaaq (Horizons of world) and the Portents of the Anfus (intangible world).

Allah Almighty says: We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it s the Truth (41:53)

The Portents of Afaaq are Outward, Physical and Tangible which is called 'Objective' whereas the Portents of Anfus are Intangible, Mental and Inwardly which is called 'Subjective'.

All the Portents (or Revelations) and Miracles of Hazrat Musa Alaihis-Salaam (Moses) were of the nature of Afaaq and Objective therefore those could not be transmitted to his followers and ended with his departure from this world.
