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 nonliving 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.
Taste
of this goblet, God forbid, is not that real taste!
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 is 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.
