Khafa Secrets of The Throne

Wa ma arsalnaaka ilah Rahmatan lil alameen

  Shaykh Ali Principles of Eternity    secrets of Mathematical Sciences

Each manifestation of the Divine from Him (SWT) to creation appears in creation through a secret and all the secrets of appearances in creation are owned by Sayedena Muhammad (SAW).

  • Therefore, as a sign of their Owner (S), each secret appears with 2 Faces representing the 2 Faces of its Owner (S).
  • Sayydina Muhammad (S) owns the secret.
  • So every secret appears and says: it is Him, the King (SAW), Who owns me.
  • I am His Khalifa. As GrandShaykh, QS, says: e=mc2 is a Khalifa of the Prophet (SAW). So every secret appears through the secret of the Divine Name HU. Ha "5" Waw "6"
  • 5 Pillars of Islam "6" Principles of Iman take you to Huuuu 56= 11th name of Rasul is YaSeen.
  • The secret appears and says "Hu", ie, "it is Him! it is Him!".
  • But the Prince (SAW) has not appeared yet according to "Wa ma arsalnaka", so "Hu" refers to Him Who is still absent. So the Secret refers to Wa Ma Arsalnaka whenever it says "Hu", while at the same time carrying the secret of "Rahmatan lil Alameen" since it appears as a Representative of Prophet (SAW), and His Face towards creation is Rahmatan lil Alameen.
  • So every secret appears while carrying the Full Secret of the 2 Faces from Prophet (SAW) in the Verse "We Have not but as a mercy to all the Worlds" We Have Not Sent you is Existent Non-Manifest, Rahmatan lil Alameen is Manifestation." "Wa ma arsalnaaka ila Rahmatan lil alameen", all by simply saying "Hu".

    every secret or tajalli appearing (atoms, electrons, planets..) is poor by essence because its very appearance belongs to Sayyidna Muhammad (SAW) and the essence of poverty is the appearance of Sayyidna Muhammad (SAW) through the manifested object.

    Every secret carries 2 faces:
    - One face is the secret's appearance according to the King's Reality:
    The King "sees" every manifestation with the hidden secret contained in its essence.
    - One face is the secret's appearance according to creation's reality:
    Creation "sees" every manifestation according to its level. This is the common and known face of each things.

    These 2 faces are always in opposite as in binary numbers. So in the realm of our 5 senses, the King sense is Zawqi (Taste) and the 4 other senses are the Pillars.
  • So:- Zawqi sits on the Throne of Understanding. Lisan "Al-Haqq " He speaks for the Divine.
    - Then we have the 4 Pillars: Hear/See and Touch/Smell . They represent 2 pairs of opposites.
  • - Then each Pillar has 2 Faces: one understanding of the Pillar from creation and one understanding from the Creator.
     

Body Sense & Souls Sense:

  • The lower face of each sense is the external perception of the sense (ex: when someone other than ourselves sees or hears or smells or touches)
  • The higher face of the sense if the Zawqi reality of the sense, ie, the internal experimentation of the sense (ex: when we personally "tastes" vision, hearing, smelling or touching).
  • This is because the essence of the King sense is personal experimentation (taste). So the King sense (Zawqi) has a direct relation with every one of the 4 senses and this relation become manifest only through personal experimentation. Indeed, we experiment this King sense through the 4 other senses whenever we are the ones who are looking at something, hearing something, smelling something or touching something.
This is the essence of the Day of Resurrection.

This is true for every other secret appearing in creation also:
  • In the life of ignorance (dunya), the Creator is veiled, so only one Face appears (the lower face of Understanding from creation).
  • On the Day of Resurrection, the King will come down and make Himself manifest (Zawqi King face of each sense becoming manifest through personal experimentation of vision, hearing, smell and touch).
  • So His Understanding of each secret will become known so that each secret will carry its complete binary face.
  • The King will "inform us on what we did", that is, He (SWT) will reveal His Understanding of the Secret.
  • So on that Day of Resurrection, the hidden Face of each secret will become Resurrected from the Veils and each secret will appear with the 2 manifest Understandings.
  • The 4 Pillars will then become 8 as it is mentioned in the Holy Verse: "And 8 carry the Throne on that Day".
  • That means, whenever we are personally experimenting something, we are making the Zawqi Sultan face of the sense of perception becoming Manifest and this Zawqi Face represents the King.
  • So the King appears and the dual face of each secret become manifest and consequently, the senses switch from 5 to 9 senses (1+4 switching to 1+8).

These 9 "senses" are of course the 9 different states of the Heart on that Day. Interestingly, there are 5 Lata'if of the Heart, and 9 Sultan Stations.

Beyond the idea of numbers, the Holy Utterances "4 carry the Throne, and 8 on that Day" carry the essence of doubling, that is, duality in each entity (from 4 we went to 8, so we doubled a given quantity). So this is further sign that each secret carries dual faces, with the second face becoming manifest only when the Understanding of the Secret through its Rabb becomes manifest.

On the notion of Vision, there is something marvelous about the Conversation that took place between Sayedena Musa (as) and Allah Ta'ala.

  • represents the Dal in "Muhammad", which is in essence of the Muhammadan Beat.
  • So Allah Ta'ala chose Sayedena Musa (as) to grant Knowledge of the essence of the Muhammadan Beat (SAW) because of his relation with concrete and material Manifestations of Himself (SAW) in the plane of creation.
  • Allah Ta'ala says to Sayedena Musa (as): "By no means canst thou see Me. But look upon the Mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me."

    "By no means canst thou see Me. But look upon the Mount".

     
  • Allah Ta'ala is telling the seeker represented by Sayedena Musa (as) that the only way to see Him is through His Representative (SAW/QS).
  • On a higher level, Allah Ta'ala is teaching Sayydina Musa (as) on the way He becomes known and manifest.
  • He (SWT) is telling him (as): "When I want to be known, I send an Emanation, or a Beat (the "Mount"), and this Muhammadan Beat (SAW) is What creation sees of Me.
  • So when you are directing your face toward Me, you are in fact directing your heart toward My Muhammadan Beat ("look upon the Mount").

Every time I make myself manifest, it is through Sayedena Muhammad, SAW. And whatever you see of Me, I am Higher than That."

Scientifically speaking, we cannot see the Light in its Wave form because every time we look at it, it becomes a particle.

  • So as a Sign of the Knowledge given to Sayydina Musa, {as}, Allah Ta'ala shows us that the only way to see LIGHT is to observe the Mount (the electron particles).
  • So we cannot see Wave, but we can look at the Particle.

    The fact that Light always breaks down into particle when observed is a Divine Proof that we cannot see Allah Ta'ala in this world because Allah Ta'ala is telling us that if the Muhammadan Beat stays as it is when you look at it, then we can see Him (SAW).
  • But Wave Light, which is the Representative of the Mountain/Muhammadan Beat always "collapses" according to the Holy Verse "He made it as dust".
  • So seeing Light collapsing into particle when we try to look at it is a Sign of the impossibility to see Allah Ta'ala without the Muhammadan Beat (SAW).
  • The only way to see Him (SWT) is when Light does not collapse into particle. Or in other words, if Light can be seen in its Wave form, then we are truly experimenting Vision of the Lord.

    "If it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me."

     
  • Since this part of the Holy Verse mentions the possibility of seeing Him (SAW), there must exist a case when the possibility becomes a reality.
  • It is of course through the Vessel of Sayydina Muhammad (SAW), whose Divine Heart is this Mountain that does not collapse even though it is supporting the Manifestation of Allah Ta'ala.
So Allah Ta'ala is saying to Sayydina Musa (as) that only Sayydina Muhammad (SAW) is the King because it is only He (SAW) who is made strong enough to Truly contain Him. Any other Mountain would collapse.

So the first part of the Holy Verse "By no means canst thou see Me. But look upon the Mount" carries the Face of Prophet (SAW) appearing as the King sitting on the Throne, because it is the Verse of the Elevation of Prophet (SAW) to the Most Praised Station, that of the True Abd ("You cannot see Me, but look at My Substitute") to whom every creation was ordered to turn to and to honor with dignified praises ("Look upon the Mount").

The second part of the Holy Verse: "If it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me" carries the Face of Prophet (SAW) as the humble human being (SAW) who receives Revelation and whose Heart does not collapse from what it receives. So the Full Verse carry the 2 faces of Prophet (SAW): King and subject, or Divine and human, according to the related hadith.

Coming back to the idea of Light being witnessed as particles and not as wave, the second part of the Verse says that if Light is observed in its Essence, which is wave, without collapsing into external Divine Attributes, which are the electron particles, then Vision is experimented.

When asked about whether or not He (SAW) saw his Lord during the Mira'j, Prophet (SAW) answered:

  • "Ra'aytu Nuran" ("I saw Light").

  • Prophet (SAW) was giving a hint for generations to come that will be studying the nature of Light. Prophet (SAW) was saying: "To understand how Vision is possible and to understand this Miracle, look at the nature of Light."
  • Not only that, because Light can only be seen through its Attributes (electron particles), human being are in fact never seeing "Light".
  • What they see is the Divine Attributes. But Prophet (SAW) said that he (SAW) saw LIGHT.
  • That means, He (SAW) witnessed Light in its Essence. It is a symbol to say that he (SAW) saw beyond the Attributes and witnessed the Wave of Light, which is also a symbol for the True Face of Allah beyond the Attributes.
  • So Prophet (SAW) saw with his physical eyes That which is impossible to see with human eyes because of the way human eyes work.
  • How great then was the Miraj' of Prophet (SAW).
  • That is why Allah Ta'ala starts the description of this event with "Subhanallathi asra bi Abdihi Laylan." Because opposites (1 and 0) were reunited in the same place.
  • Unlimited in Limited Plane. This phenomenon takes place at every moment and in every particle of the Heart of Awliya.
