The
indication that the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat )
has been correctly and rightly
Inscribed and Imprinted through Visualization
is that it after Inscription, the
Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat )
emanates brightness like sun and the Master
of Visualization
attains Istaghraaq
and obliteration and the Subtlety
of heart,
spirit or Sirr
starts pronouncing the Zikr
of Allah
or the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb
and the Seeker
surely
sees some Mushahida
or Mukashifa
in this Absorption.
O
blessed Seeker! We have described in above these some very beneficial, easy,
peaceful, valid and true ways of undertaking the Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat )
which we have known and achieved after very long efforts with bearing too much
silently. If you will give them the worth due and will act upon these, then you
will very soon reach the top horizon of the Inwardly
Salook and the
Spirituality and will become Waasil
with your Real beloved and will enjoy with those ethereal
tastes and spiritual delights after your admittance in the Majlis
of the Holy
Prophets and the Aulia-Allah
which you have never ever seen or heard or
thought of before!
These
are the great benefits of Visualization
which it is very unnoticeable, free of
show off, free of Rijat
and full of (efficacious) effectiveness (and the
impact) way of Zikr. It has to follow no specific time. There is no compulsion
of any specific place or Wuzu (Ablution) or the purity of clothes or
cleanliness of place or any other compulsions of how much and how long
etcetera. Activation of Inwardly
Subtleties is very difficult, rather,
impossible without Visualization. Seeker
cannot cover Spiritual Destination and
Station
without Visualization. If we carefully observe the principal of the
Inwardly
Destinations and Degrees of Islam, Eimaan
, Eiqaan, Irfaan, Qurb
, Mushahida
, Wasal
, Fanaa
, Baqaa; it becomes clear that the intention and purpose of all
these things is to focus the Tawajuh
, Visualization, Imagination and Contemplation
of the human being on one center and one point which is called 'Concentration'.
*
For
example, see, the real motive in Islam is Tauheed
and the dependence of all
Islamic Actions and Formalities is on this Tauheed. That is, after deflecting
his attention from the worships of many deities, the human being inclines and
attaches with the worship of only One Deity.
Allah Almighty
says: O
fellows! Are divided lords better, or Allah
the One, the Mighty? (12:39)
Hence,
in order to focus his attention on just One Deity of Worship, Islam has set
Zikr
compulsory and obligatory in every Action and Procedure, as we have
already described in earlier pages of this book, and has concentrated all
Azkaar
in one Zikr
-the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) and of all the modes of
the Zikr
of Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ), the mode of Visualization
is the best one
in order to bring the concentration of the human being focused on one point.
That is the reason of its being chosen. In short, if we notice carefully, the
method of the Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) is the real, last and
comprehensive Key
for the Degrees and Destinations of Islam, Eimaan
, Eiqaan,
Irfaan, Qurb
, Mushahida
, Wasal
, Fanaa
, Baqaa. That is, one purpose of the
Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) is to take the Saalik
from the
Realm of Multiplicity to the only Realm of Unity (Wahdat). Second purpose takes
the Master of Visualization, through the Ilm
of Dawat
, to the Noor
of Subtlety
from the Darkness of Multiplicity as Allah
Almighty says:
Allah
is the Protecting Friend
of those who believe. He brings them out of darkness
into light (2:257)
Thus,
in order to fly over the Two High Stations
of the Wahdat of Hazoor
and the
Subtlety
of Noor
, the Saalik
must have two limbs and wings. One is the
Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) and second is Dawaat
as Allah
Almighty says:
Did
We not assign unto him two eyes? And a tongue and two lips. And guide him to
the parting of the mountain ways? (90:8-9-10)
