Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

131-132

Inside the body of the Arif Saalik of Inwardly Flight, seven kinds of Subtler than Subtle Subtleties are present overlapping each other like shells. Inside the Inwardly Rocket of the Spiritual People-of-Allah, the Electric Power of Noor of Allah Almighty is stored which uplifts it with full pace and velocity. The Kaseef physical body of the People-of-Allah are subject to the gravitational force of the earth but their Inwardly Bulks are not and instead it rises towards the Realm of Up in such a way as a heavy object like stone falls down on earth form height! When the Saalik Arif flies towards the Realm of Upside with the Noori Power of Allah Almighty, he leaves his Kaseef physical and material body here on earth and this Kaseef heavy shell leaves him and he covers the atmosphere of the Realm of Nasoot with the Subtle Bulk of the Nafs. Then he enters the Subtler ambience of the Realm of Malakoot and leaves the Shell of the Nafs which is denser than the Subtler Bulk of the Qalb and flies in the Realm of Malakoot with this Subtler Bulk of Qalb. Ahead of this Realm, when the Saalik starts flight in the even Subtler Invisible field of the Realm of Jabroot , he leaves the Shell of the Qalb and chooses the Subtlest Bulk and Ride of the Ruh (Spirit) and flies over the Spiritual Station of the Realm of Jabroot.

In the same fashion, one can imagine same pattern for the Subtleties of Sirr , Khafi , Akhfa and Anaa. Understanding the aforementioned text would make it easy to understand the reality and the philosophy of the Mi'raaj (Ascension) of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam in a clearer way and the disagreements and all doubts and suspicions between the Ulema of Outward and the Aulia Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim of Inward will disappear.

The Mi'raaj of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam was the Best and the Superior most model of the Inwardly Flight towards the Realm of Anfus and Realm of the Unseen. It appears from his Invisible Spiritual Ride that it was a sort of Inwardly Impulse and the Noori Electricity of Allah Almighty as is evident from its name 'Burraaq' which lifted him towards the Realm of Up as his animal of riding.

On the Night of Mi'raaj (Ascension), the Subtlety of his blessed Nafs had left its Kaseef Shell of his blessed physical body inside the room of Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqa Tayyeba Tahira Zahida Abida Aalima Fazila Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anha or at any other station where he was resting according to the difference of opinion in history. After this, the Subtle Bulk of his Nafs flew over towards the Baytul Muqaddas and Masjid e Aqsaa accompanied by Hazrat Jibraaeel (Gabriel) Alaihis-Salaam with the Inwardly Electrical Power and Energy of Burraaq. There he led the Congregational Prayers of the entire Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam. Here, the doubt and severe ambiguity (Ashkaal) of this Hadis of Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqa Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anha become clear that on the Holy Night of Mi'raaj (Ascension), the body of the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam remined inside her chamber and was not absent from there. (Secondly) if he had led the Congregational Prayers of the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam with his physical body, then at least the servants and visitors of the Baytul Muqaddas and the priests of there should have surely seen him and the Congregation of the Holy Prophets in one form or another. None had seen him or the Congregation of the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam there. However, this matter was Invisible and was well beyond the scope of physical senses. Then the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam led the Congregational Assalaat (Prayers) of the Congregation of the Subtle Bulks of the Nafs of all Prophets and met their other Subtle Bulks in different heavens as has been mentioned in the Ahadees concerning Mi'raaj. And when the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam reached the Station of Sidra-Tul-Muntaha, which is the last Station where Hazrat Jibraaeel (Gabriel) Alaihis-Salaam and he intended to fly further, then Hazrat Jibraaeel (Gabriel) Alaihis-Salaam declined to accompany him and said that his wings will be burnt if he will advance a little ahead of that Station .

If I will advance even a millimeter ahead,

My wings will burn by the intensity of the Divine Self-Disclosure.

[Saadi]

At this Station, he casted the Superior Shell of Malakoot away and the Electrical Power of the Burraaq also exhausted. Hence, he entered the matchless and unparalleled Realm of Lahoot Lamakaan in the Subtler Noori Bulk of Rafraf.
