Realities of Numbers 1-9

From the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham,

Qutub al-Muntasarif,

wa yahmilu arsh arrahmani yawmadhin thamaaniyya.” and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.[69:17]

[ 8 Shall hold up The King ]

Enneagram

The oceans of numbers and its secrets. This entire universe can be described by numbers and broken down into numbers, as physicists and mathematicians are showing us today, but there are still some who deny the importance of numbers in relation to the growth of the soul.

Holy Quran 19:94. He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly.

If we study from our Sufi teachings, however, we find that every zikr, every awrad, every recitation has a specific number, and that number is what can unlock, by permission of The Heavenly Kingdom via Saints such as Mawlana Shaykh, certain chakras/lataifs and certain secrets which have been programmed onto the soul in relation to those numbers.

EnneagramHuThe most important of these numbers are in 1-9, as they are the building blocks of all other numbers.

These 9 numbers are related to secret of the “Nine Points”, which contain within them the five levels of the heart. And Mawlana Shaykh is saying that the heart which has reached the secrets of the Nine Points will be able to hear what can’t be heard and see what can’t be seen, in accordance with the holy tradition of Sayedina Muhammad (s), that when a servant of the Divine approaches with voluntary worship,

God will be “the ears with which he hears, the eyes with which he sees, the tongue with which he speaks, the hand with which he grasps and the feet with which he walks.” He will only need to say to a thing ‘Be!’ And it will be.

The Nine Points, therefore, carry tremendous secrets. It was this knowledge, carried and safeguarded by the Arifeen/ Gnostics for over 1400 years, which Gurdjieff so diligently sought after. Although he met with many saints and spiritual masters, Gurdjieff did not find the knowledge which would quench his thirst until he reached the physical presence of the sitting Sultan ul-Awliya of his time, Grandshaykh Abd-Allah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani, the 39th Master of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain. In that meeting, Grandshaykh Abd-Allah poured the knowledge of the Nine Points into Gurdjieff’s heart, and this knowledge became the basis for his Enneagram teaching which has remained popular among new age seekers.

Enneagramwhite

Enneagram is a Naqshbandi secret which details the 9 saints who sit upon the circle of creation.

gurdjiefGurdjieff was not given permission to use all of the spiritual power that was entrusted to him, however, and he did not pass the full power that he received to his followers for reasons that are only known by spiritual masters.

Today, the Enneagram has morphed into a self-help tool, where a person identifies certain negative characteristics and then recites a dhikr or mantra to correct each characteristic. In practice, however, this method is incomplete. Just as you would never perform surgery on yourself, it is not recommended to diagnose your own spiritual sicknesses. That is why these Sufi teachers come and teach that the real Enneagram, and the real psychology, is that which is taught by an authorized and perfected spiritual master. That master will not just deal with the obvious characteristics that you already acknowledge. Rather, that master will look into the heart with their spiritual vision, seeing every hidden characteristic that you didn’t know existed within you, and through their Heavenly connection they ask the Divine, “O my Lord! This servant is asking to ascend, but he/she cannot reach your presence filled with this garbage. Bring out what is hidden and purify them so that they may enter into your Divinely Presence.” Then with their connection, that prayer is answered and the testing and purification begins. A famous Sufi mystic, As Sufyan al-Thawri, once commented on this reality by saying:

“If it were not for (my Sufi teacher) Abu Hashim al-Sufi, I would have never perceived the presence of the subtlest forms of hypocrisy in the self.”

The Enneagram that Gurdjieff was teaching is under the authority of 9 sultan ul-Awliya who sit upon the circle of creation and teach in relation to these numbers. These are the real “hu-men”; God-conscious and enlightened beings who have been crowned with authority from the Heavenly Kingdom, and lend their support to perfect creation in the image of the Prophets.

There are 9 Saints from the highest levels of Divine Presence who achieved the reality of Sultan of Zikr.

The 9 Saints who achieved Sultan Zikr were able to recite the entire Holy Qur'an with all of its hidden meanings, and each letter in the Holy Qur'an has 12,000 hidden meanings.

The Saints of Sultan Zikr were able to recite the Qur'an with all of these meanings, and Grandshaykh Abdullah Daghestani was able to recite Sultan Zikr with every inhalation and exhalation, a secret which Mawlana Shaykh Nazim inherited.

Each saint sitting at each position has a specific teaching, and they begin to teach the soul realities from the world of light until these realities spring forth like fresh water from the heart of the seeker.

Bismala

When permission for training has been granted, the seeker is placed inside a Seclusion within the circle of  these nine saints as they begin to teach the souls realities from the secrets of 1-9. s; the number 1 represents the beginning while the number 9 represents completion. Therefore, 19 is an important number as it represents the beginning and eternity of knowledge, which is why the Holy Qur’an begins with the 19 letters of BismiAllah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem. Within those 19 letters can be found all knowledge relating to Heaven and earth, but it requires a key, and that key is the hands of the 9 highest ranking saints of the Divine Presence.

19

 The numbers 1 through 9 are the building blocks of all other number

These 9 saints form a complete circle around the student, which is the circle of this creation. The circle also symbolizes eternity, showing us that these saints have achieved their eternal realities and have been granted Heavenly authority over this creation. The body placed within the circle represents the symmetry found within that creation, as well as the station of Insan al-Kamil, the perfected human being which is the station that the student aspires to reach. This ancient Sufi symbol was discovered eventually discovered by European intellectuals and made famous throughout the Western world.

 

Position 1:  Oneness of the Divine

CircleEnneagramThe saint at position 1 teaches about the Oneness of the Divine, known as tawhid. Position One is second to the King of Saints so 2x9 opens realities of 18. Postion One opens Surah 18 The Cave , realities of the cave and the dwellers of the cave. your Hand is stamped the arabic 18, The 18th Name of Allah Al Fatah the Opener. The 18th Name of RasulAllah Rahmah The Mercy of God.

51:56 And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
51:56 Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illa liyaAAbudooni

La Ilaha Ila Allah- There is nothing but God/Allah. Deep ocean of realities in the above verse “ I did not create” The Divine stating we are not created Except to Worship Him, if no worship then our existence is very temporary. The responsibility of the saint at position 1 is to teach about God’s Divine attribute of Ahad, which describes God’s unique essence which is independent of creation. This is from the secret of “Qul hu Allahu Ahad” (Surah al-Ikhlas), which means “Say: He is Allah, the One and only!” Ahad means the unique essence which powers creation. That is the reality of the Sufi phrase la illaha illAllah, which translates to “there is no Divinity except God.” As there can only be one nucleus in an atom, there can only be one source of power which powers creation. That source of power is known by different names: Elohim, Jehova, God or Allah in Arabic.

Position 2:  Wahid the mirror of the Divine

sel

The saint at position 2 teaches us about the creation of the light of Sayedina Muhammad (s),

Position 2 is the Third "9" 9x3= 27, Opens the reality of 27th surah of Holy Quran Surah An Naml The Ant the Kingdom of Soleman, is an example of Gods Bounty and Eternal Blessings upon his Holy Ones . Leave us to ponder the vastness of the Kingdom of Sayedena Muhammad [s] becasue of his humility he did not want to show that reality in the material world saving his reality and authority for the Eternal kingdom.

Muhammad RasulAllah, The II is Wahid, which means unique, but not the unique essence.

Ahad is being dressed by Allah’s alif, and wahid is ahad with a wow attached.

Sayedina Muhammad (s) is unique – there is nothing in creation like him, but he is not God. When the Creator wanted to be known, He created the light of Sayedina Muhammad which is II.

The ocean of two is a reflection of one, that is why in roman numerals the number two is a reflection of one (I+I=II).

LamAlifThe ocean of one is complete non-existence - la illaha illAllah. There is nothing in that ocean except Allah. But the Divine is a hidden treasure wanting to be known, and when He wanted to be known He reflected to the ocean of two, and that reflection is known as Muhammadun RasulAllah.  Divine is saying, “Contemplate what you are saying when you give shahada to bear witness to the Oneness of the Divine. If you look at the words, that shahada is telling you cannot get to Me / Allah, you cannot reach “ la Ilaha Ila Allah”  without going through My representative, without going through Muhammadan RasulAllah. I have even attached My name with his name! (Rasul-Allah)” CircleEnneagram

So from the Divine essence at position 1 comes the creation of the light of Sayedina Muhammad (s) at position 2, and from the light of Sayedina Muhammad (s) is coming all of creation. Then when we go deeper into the numbers, 1 represents Ahad and 2 represents the Wahid. Ahad means “one and only” in Arabic, while wahid means “unique” in Arabic. In Surah Ihklas (Surah of Sincerity) the Divine is saying, if you are a sincere soul, then recite “Qul hu Allahu Ahad!” which means “Say: God is One.”

Ahad احد is a description of Allah, and wahid واحد is a description of Prophet (s) because it is an ahad  with a wow attached , and that Arabic wow و is for “wadud”, which means “love” because the Divine created the light of Sayedina Muhammad (s) from love, and from that love came everything of the Heavens and the earth.

Physics has now shown that when you break everything down to its quantum reality, you find that the entire universe is made of light which is vibrating in long strings of energy. This is what Sufi’s call Nur Muhammad [s]. They understood that God is not found within the ocean of creation. But His signs are everywhere.

“O ye who believe! Do your duty to God, seek the means of approach unto Him” (5:35)

You can’t put God inside a box. Everything that is manifesting in creation is a reflection of the essence, which is always hidden. Therefore, you can never reach a place where God is, because God does not manifest – but you can reach to His reflection. There is a verse which describes God as being on the throne,

“The Beneficent one who is established on the throne” (20:4).

However, one cannot interpret this to literally mean “God sits on a chair”, as that would be attributing a physical body to the Creator. Instead, one can say that God encompasses the throne, or that God is the power of that throne. Then the question is who sits on the throne?

Holy Bible “Then, in my vision, I saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying, ‘Come up here: I will show you what is to take place in the future.’ With that, I fell into ecstasy and I saw a throne standing in heaven, and the one who was sitting on the throne, and the one sitting there looked like a diamond and a ruby. There was a rainbow encircling the throne, and this looked like an emerald” Book of Revelations 4:1-3.

Lam Alif

Then the saint at position 2 begins to teach us LamAlifDunyaabout the relation of the two Arabic letters lam and alif. Drawn separately, the alif is in front of the lam, but when they are put together to form “la” the lam moves to the front and the alif becomes hidden. It is showing us that the alif of Allah is the power behind the lam.

 

Allah: Alif, lam, lam, ha

Lam is for “lisan al-haqq” lisan– the “tongue of truth” which speaks for God, which is the tongue of Sayedina Muhammad (s).

53:3 Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.[ Sayedena Muhammad [s]]
53:3 Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa

53:4 It is not but a revelation revealed,
53:4 In huwa illa wahyun yooha

He is the Messenger who speaks on behalf of God to all of creation, both in the spiritual realm and in the physical realm. When revelation comes, it moves from the ocean of negation, la Ilaha Ila Allah, into the ocean of manifestation through Muhammadan RasulAllah; it moves from the alif and is manifested on the tongue of the lam. helix

HuHuSo the lam-alif is revealing this unique relationship between the Creator and Sayedina Muhammad (s), the relationship which culminated in the Night of Ascension, when Prophet (s) rose in his physical body to a station of “two bow-lengths or nearer”}{

Allah}{Muhammad

to the Divine Presence. He didn’t become one with God because there can be no partner with the Creator. That’s why in Sufism you don’t become “one with God.” But when these two oceans move close to one another there is so much power (qudra) that this energy can jump. As they come close, a spark takes place and a tremendous amount of energy is released.

Then when you look closely you notice that:

“lam-alif” is an exact depiction of the modern double-helix model of DNA.

Lam AlifShowing us that all of creation is from lam-alif, this is the relationship between Allah and Sayedina Muhammad (s).

Understanding the relationship of lam-alif brings us to an understanding that the origin of everything in creation is from that ocean of the Lam, under the power and authority of the Alif.

 

Position 3: Creation of the Adamic Soul

CircleEnneagramThe Saint at position 3 is teaching that the number three represents the creation of the universal soul, the soul of Adam (as) in Paradise, in the world of light. We are inheriting from that light, as God said in Holy Qur’an, Position 3 is the fourth of the Nines 4x9= 36. He is bringing out the reality of the 36th Surah of Holy Quran Surah Ya-Seen is the Heart of Holy Quran and the Name of Sayedena Muhammad [s]

Importance of Recitation is 3: Once for the Essence of the Divine light, Second for the Creation of the Prophetic Light and Third is Our Creation.

“He it is who did create you from a single soul” (Al-Araf, 189).

From that reality, we understand that every human being is spiritually connected through the light of their soul. This is a secret which is manifesting in the Last Days as the internet. God says “We will show them our signs on the horizon and within themselves”. When a new technology is released it is because the Divine wants us to contemplate on that technology and learn about ourselves. All of our souls are connected on a spiritual internet, and that is why God says in the Holy Qur’an

that if you kill one person it is as if you killed all of humanity (Al-Ma’ida: 32).

That verse in Surah Al-Ma’ida is showing that when you harm someone, that negative energy is felt by all of the souls in the world of light. We don’t feel it because our ego is blocking the transmission, but Saints feel that energy. They hear and see at the level of the soul, and what they perceive of what human beings are doing to each other is unimaginable. They carry that negativity as a mercy to humanity and never speak of it to people, which is a testament to the amazing greatness that the Creator has dressed them with.

When we contemplate on the numbers 2 and 3, we see that our soul is like a drop in an ocean of the universal soul, and the light of that universal soul belongs to Sayedina Muhammad (s). It means that our light is from the light of Sayedina Muhammad (s). So anytime we do something wrong, we owe our forgiveness to Prophet (s). We are not harming God because it’s not God’s light to be harming. The most important thing that the arifeen, the Gnostics, are teaching us from their Heavenly connection is that we are from the reflection of the essence, not the essence itself. So when you harm the light of your soul through sins and bad actions, you are harming the light of Sayedina Muhammad (s), and you owe your forgiveness to him, as God said in Holy Qur’an:

“And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee (Muhammad) and asked forgiveness of Allah, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah forgiving, merciful.” (Al-Ma’ida: 64).AhmadHuuu

“So (Prophet [s]), pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs." (Al-Imran: 159).

Ask Prophet (s) to forgive you, and he will purify your light and present it back to God pure and purified

Position 4: the World of Form

CircleEnneagramThe number 4 represents the world of form, and the Saint at that position is responsible for teaching about the world of form. So from 3 and the creation of the universal soul in the world of light then comes 4, which is the birth of the world of form, and 4 is symbolic of the 4 elements which comprise the world of form:

Water        (angels)

Fire             (jinn)

Earth          (Adam)

Wind          (Divine breath)

As we seek to experience the Divine Presence, we are moving from our physical reality towards the world of light, and it is in that world of light that we find our true self, our true existence. This body is an imitated body. It is nothing more than a reflection - like an image in a mirror. The Sufi path is that process of discovering your true self, your spiritual reality that exists in the world of light. That is why the Prophet (s) was teaching that “Who knows himself will know his Lord,” because before you can know about your Lord, you must first know about yourself.Shadow

So as we move forward in our Gnosticism, the first question must be “who are we?” And the Saint at position 4 is saying, “look to the story of Prophet Adam, peace and blessings be upon him.” The story of the creation of Adam (as) is of tremendous importance for the soul, and it contains many secrets and many realities. That is why he is at the first of the five levels of the heart. Within the process of unlocking the heart and opening the Divine treasures it contains, the spiritual wayfarer will find 5 levels under the gaze of 5 big Prophets of the Divine, and the first of these is Prophet Adam (as) because before you can move forward you must first understand who you are and for what purpose you have been created.

So the story of Prophet Adam (as) is teaching us that we are created in God’s image, blown into from God’s own holy breath, and then sent from Paradise onto this earth.

The descending of Adam onto earth is a continuous event.

yinyangAs Adam (as) was seeking to return to Paradise, we are all seeking to reunite with our original self, our real being in that world of light. When we arrive in this material world, we arrive into a world filled with negative energy, and there begins the clash of good and evil - or “yin” and “yang”. That negative energy is described in all holy books as a fiery energy. It means the creation of the jinn.

“And He created jinn from smokeless fire” (Ar-Rahman: 15).yin yang

That fiery energy is all around us, and our physicality is constantly picking up these energies. Too much of that energy is going to bring pain and difficulty onto the physicality. That is why people who spend a lot of time on their feet have pain, especially back pain, because they are collecting the electromagnetic energy of the earth and never processing it.

As they are collecting that energy it begins to move up the legs towards the stomach, but there is an  opposing angelic energy which is dressing the body from the head and moving towards the stomach. It dresses the head because the head is the crown of our creation. These two energies meet at the stomach like yin and yang, and there is a clash. That is why Prophet (s) taught that the root of all sickness is in the stomach.

Reality of Fire and Jinn: fiery

So there is a fiery energy which is attacking the physicality, and jinn are from fire. They are a very unstable creation, because fire is unstable. Left unchecked, it will burn everything in sight. To balance the creation of jinn, God created the angels which do not have free will therefore do not sin. They are a stable creation, in complete submission to their Lord’s will.

 

 

 

 

Reality of Water and Angeles:

WaterAs angels balance the creation of jinn, water balances the element of fire. So then Prophet (s) was teaching to constantly wash with water because water is an angelic fire and it has the power to put out fire and wash away negative energy. It is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and it is stable. But if God decides to remove one hydrogen atom it becomes hydrogen oxide – atomic bomb. It means that because of its angelic nature it is stable and possesses a tremendous healing and cleansing power, and if you wash with water it washes away negative energy and allows positive energy to h2odress the soul.  As the saying goes, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”

Then we find that 70% of the earth is water, and 70% of our body is made of water. According to Sufi teachings, the body represents the earth, microcosm and macrocosm.

So from the two creations of angels and jinn, one is completely stable and the other is an unstable creation.

 

 

The Realty of Earth/Teen Fertile Soil:

TurbahThen comes the creation of Adam from clay, which is soil and water mixed together, and now scientists have confirmed that our body is composed of the same basic elements as are found in soil, and that we are made of 70% water.  Then the Prophet Adam (as) is at the station of the qalb; the first level in the levels of the heart. These numbers are important, because we find that in Holy Quran Surah 4,

verse 1 that God describes that “We created you from one soul”.

The creation of Prophet Adam (as) is teaching that you are not a walking monkey! Divine is saying, “I created you in My image,” and that greatness was something that the angels couldn't’t understand,

“And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee?

He said: Surely I know that which ye know not. And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them to the angels, saying: Inform Me of the names of these, if ye are truthful. They said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge saving that which Thou hast taught us” (Al-Baqarah: 30-39).

The angels were saying, “this creation is going to bring bloodshed.” But God replied, “I know what you do not know. This creation is going to do many things wrong, and when they sin, they will fall. But if they turn to me in repentance I will forgive and I will raise them.”  That showed the greatness of God, because the angels don’t do anything wrong. They are in complete obedience, so God couldn't’t reveal His infinite mercy to them. It was only through the creation of Adam that God showed that greatness.

Mizan

So from the jinn, which are unstable, and the angels, who are in complete submission, came the creation of Adam (as) from soil, which balanced the two realities because earth can hold water and bring forth creation, and it can also be used to put out fire.

That’s why Prophet (s) taught that when you have no access to water, you can make ablution with soil. It means that from that reality of earth comes an ability to put out the fire, to take away negative energy, and an ability to hold water which is angelic. We have a fiery nature, but because of the element of earth we also have an ability to extinguish our negative characteristics and reach towards our angelic reality.

The Reality of Air/ Divine Breath:

If we can balance the fire and water, then the Divine blows from His spirit and at that time we inherit from the reality of Sayedina Adam (as) and inherit our station as human beings. Until we reach that, we are not human beings we are talking animal in the spiritual sense. That is why Saints describe that the only real humans are the AwliyaAllah/ Saints. They are the only ones who are reflecting and representing the human creation, the rest of us filled with lower desires and bad characteristics. It means that we are overcome by the fire of negativity. When we learn to balance that fire, when we begin to leave haywan/ Animalistic and move towards Insan/humanity, it means we are leaving wildness and moving towards angelic perfection.  In the levels of the heart, Jesus Christ [as] comes and teaches us that you can`t enter the Heavenly Kingdom filled with that wildness. And we inherit our wildness from our father. That is why he has no father because it’s showing that he didn't’t inherit the wildness of the father, he was of a completely angelic nature.

Unfortunately, we are like a dead child at the bottom of a very dirty ocean, and Saints come and begin the CPR, begin to revive and resuscitate us and breathe into us from their holy breath, which is from the Divine Presence the Holy breath of Sayedina Muhammad (s).

That Holy Breath and it is the power of the Bohdi Tree, or the treeoflofeTree of Life”, and that is why the lungs are called the “bronchial tree”. That Divine breath is fuel for the soul, and that is why the Naqshbandi Sufi Way is based on the breath.

When you balance these elements, you reach towards Insan and the Adamic reality, because there are 3 hearts.

From the number 1 is coming the Divine Heart,

then 2 represents the Prophetic Heart,

and 3 is the Adamic Heart.

And always these realities are teaching us the same thing, that as we are moving from 1- Divine, 2-Prophetic, 3-Adamic. We must return in the same order: Perfect our Adamic Reality-3, Opens the Prophetic Reality-2, Into The Divine Presence-1.

It means that to reach to the ocean of 3, you must first attain the reality of the Adamic heart, the perfected heart represented by the creation of Adam when God breathed from His spirit and taught him all the names that He didn't’t teach to the angels. Taught all the Names is the Perfection of Marifat/ Gnosis

51:56 And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

Position 5: Guidance and 5 Senses

CircleEnneagramThe Saint at position 5 is the sixth of the "9"'s 6x9= 54, 54th Surah of Holy Quran Al Qamar the full Moon of Perfection . Now the feet are moving towards perfection of the Body at Shaykh 4 and Perfection of Sense and reaching and recieving Guidance.

Many Hear but dont LISTEN. 5th Shaykh teaches about guidance and the 5 senses

( hearing,

seeing,

touching,

smelling,

tasting).

Hearing- Ilm Yaqeen / Knowledge of Certainty

is the opening of Hearing. This is To Hear and to Obey. Many claim to hear but they don’t listen and no action. Each of the 5 senses has a physical reality and a spiritual reality. For example, as there is a physical seeing, there is also a spiritual vision through the eye of the heart. As there is a physical hearing, there is also a spiritual hearing, and so on. The evidence for this is found in the story of the Prophet Solomon (as) and his magnificent powers:

“And Solomon was David’s heir. He said: ‘O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds...”

“At length, when they came to a valley of ants, one of the ants said: ‘O ye ants, get into your habitations lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it. So he (Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech.” (an-Naml: 16-19).

soleman

Prophet Solomon (as) heard the ant’s speech because he had been granted the faculty of spiritual hearing.

The 9th Lunar Month and The Gate of Realities Opening in Ramadan. In order to open up the subtle senses, however, our physical senses must be in submission to the Divine will. That is why the fasting of Ramadan is not just fasting from food. The higher level is to fast with all of your senses; to abstain from looking at things which darken the heart; to abstain from hearing gossips or backbiting; to abstain or quit smoking and focus on breathing with remembrance of the Divine; to abstain from speaking negatively, and to abstain from physical pleasure.

Bringing these senses into submission has to do with the reality of guidance and following a spiritual mentor. To submit to God’s will is extremely difficult, and it is easy to ignore God’s commands because we have no physical relationship with God and no sense that an encounter is imminent. Even though we could die at any moment and meet our Lord, the ego still needs a constant physical reminder. So the concept of a spiritual mentor is that they are a reminder for us that we will one day meet our Creator and account for our actions, and as a mercy to us they prepare us for that meeting – like a tutor who prepares you for the SATs. Everything they ask you to do, every advice they give is all a training on following guidance, and they check-up to see if you did what they asked or not. When you find that you are not completing the tasks or following the advice, you feel shy to see them because you know they are going to follow-up with you and you didn’t listen. And it could be something very simple like sending an email, but all of it is a practice for us. If we feel shy not sending an email, or applying for a job or writing an article – imagine how you will feel when you die and meet your Lord! What will you say when God questions you about your fasting, your praying and your charity?

So the Saint at position 5 is teaching us to submit our 5 senses to guidance. The Divine has asked us to enter houses through their proper doors, and the door to the soul is through the ears. What you hear is going to affect your spiritual progression. Therefore, the first step in guidance is to hear and to obey,

“sameena wa atana” (Al-Baqarah: 285).

It is that perfection of hearing that made the prophets to be prophets. They heard and they obeyed – they were in complete submission of Jesus said in the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” He was teaching us to leave our will and or ego’s desires and move towards God’s will, which can only happen if the ears are in submission.

Therefore, the purpose of the spiritual guide is to train us on how to submit our hearing to the Divine will. As Sayedina Muhammad (s) awaited the coming the angel Gabriel with revelation from God, Almighty and Exalted, we are trying to follow the guidance of our spiritual mentor. However, the advice that is given by the spiritual mentor must be in accordance with the Divine Law and common decency. So long as that requirement is met, the student should maintain the “conduct of anticipation”, which means that they should constantly await the guidance of their teacher and be eager to fulfill it. In doing so, the teacher will train the student in the proper conduct and manners for submitting to the Divine will, as

Prophet (s) said, “My Lord taught me good manners and perfected His teaching.” The best of manners is to keep the orders of God through the submission of the ears – to hear and to obey.

Ayn Yaqeen / Seeing of Certainty :

Then, submitting the eyes means to follow the Naqshbandi principle of “Watching your Steps” (nazar bar qadam) because the eyes are the window to the soul. The Shaykhs from 3-4-5-6 3to 6 are perfecting the self and discipline of the lower desires. Surah Yaseen the Heart, Jalsiya 45, Qamar 54 and Munafiq 63.

What we capture with our eyes is downloaded onto the hard drive, which is the heart. Too much sex, atomsviolence and other negative images will crash the hard drive and require us to spend a lot of time formatting. As you are cleaning the heart with zikr and meditation, the fastest way for evilness to stop you from progressing is to make you focus on negativity. So then Sufism comes and teaches us to close our eyes to the material world.

This world is an illusion. When scientists break everything down to its quantum level, they find that everything is made of light and what we see with our physical eyes is not real – it’s all just atoms spinning at such a tremendous rate of speed that it gives the illusion of something solid. So then we close our eyes to show that we are not interested in this world, and ask God to open our spiritual vision.

Haqq Yaqeen- Senses of Touch, Smell and Taste are of Reality:

Submitting the breath is essential, as the Naqshbandi Order is built on the breath. We are created from the Divine breath, and that breath is fuel for the soul. According to Abd al-Khaliq al-Ghujdawani,

“The wise seeker must safeguard his breath from heedlessness, coming in and going out, thereby keeping his heart always in the Divine Presence. He must revive his breath with worship and servitude and dispatch this worship to His Lord full of life, for every breath which is inhaled and exhaled with Presence is alive and connected with the Divine Presence. Every breath inhaled and exhaled with heedlessness is dead, disconnected from the Divine Presence.”

Sense of Touch and secrets of controlling desires Nafs and Hawa. Controlling or Abstinence Fasting open the realities of controlling touch / desires. That opens realities of smell and angelic beauty cleanliness is close to Godliness is the opening of the angelic realm to the seeker and reaching angelic support. Reality of Taste is the Reality of Knowing and Drinking from the Fountain of Divine Knowledge’s.

Position 6: Love

CircleEnneagram21:69 We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,
21:69 Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema

Position 6 is the 7th of the "9"'s 7x9= 63, Shaykh at postion 6 is opening the realities of Love. Surah 63 of Holy Quran is Munafiquun - Hypocrit. This Shaykh is teaching the Your Mouth says one thing and Your Heart does something else is Hypocrisy is the Polor opposite of Faith.

The perfection of faith is Heart and Mouth are One. Heart filled with Divine Love and the Tongue Speaks the TRUTH.

1-2-3 Open the reality of Love Once we have perfected the senses, then we move towards opening Divine love.  Divine is saying, “I created you out of love.” That love, when it opens in the heart, is like a fire which engulfs huwahuueverything, and that is the secret behind the “HuwaHu” logo on the shirts. The Divine is described through the quality of light, and the reality of light is that it is actually a fire.

 

 

Our sun is actually an immense fire that is eternally burning and giving warmth. When Moses was cold and seeking warmth in the desert, sunGod appeared to Moses [as] as a burning bush because He loved Moses and wanted Moses to come to Him. This is an important example for our lives, because God gave Moses a problem and then provided him with a Divine remedy and that secret is happening all around us. Most people seek a spiritual path because of a difficulty in life, and God provides a healing or an answer to that difficulty through the path. He gave you the difficulty so that you would seek Him out because He loves you and He wants a relationship with you.

So when that fire of Divine light engulfs the heart, then that fire can’t hurt you. It is a fire of love, and that burning desire of love is what allowed Prophet Abraham (as) to jump into the fire of Nimrod. Abraham found it the fire to be cool and peaceful because his heart was already burning with love for the Divine Presence.

The head symbolizes the crown of our creation, and we were created in God’s image.

Then the Saint at position 7 teaches us that there are 7 levels of Paradise and we have 7 names, one for each paradise, and there are 7 rings around a nucleus. The outer-most ring of the atom is the name our parents gave us for our life in this material world. Then as we jump each ring and move closer to the nucleus, we discover another name which tells us more about ourselves until we reach the nucleus which is the Divine Presence. With every name come 12,000 oceans of knowledge and you must learn them all before you can move onto the next name.
