Latifat al-Ahkfa,

the Most Hidden Station, Ihsan Kamil Sayedena Muhammad (S)

Reality of Sayedena Muhammad (s), because he was granted a station high above that of all other prophets and messengers. He was the one who was raised up, in the Night of Ascension, to the Divine Presence. This is represented by the Kalima (Sacred Phrase), because there is no la ilaha illallah without Muhammadiun Rasul Allah.

  •  Dhaatiyya = Essence

  •  Sense = Taste

  •  6th Sense = Taste Haqiqat

  •  YA Allah= Allah , Huwa

  • [The fifth circle is the essence that inside circle, which connects the 4, as –Surat adh-Dhaatiyya.

  • The essence from which your dharra has been created and this relates directly to the unseen. Allah has the secret of creation in His hand. No one knows about that except Allah – the secret of creation. Most hidden. Ahkfa.]

1. Alam-i-Nasut/the world of humanity better designated as Alam-i-Ajsam/the world of bodies the name is gross or physical world.

2. Alam-i-Malakut/the world of angels. This somewhat incongruous term is frequently replaced by Alam-i-Mithal/the world of similitudes.  This Henry Corbin’s famous mundus imaginalis/world of imagination, Tantric Antarloka ( the intermediary world ), or subtle/astro-mental world of Western occultists.

3. Alam-i-Jabarut/the world of power; also Alam-i-Arwah  ( the world of spirits; ruh meaning spirit, arwah being the plural form ). World of Lights Roughly corresponding to the world of Platonic archetypes, or causal world of Western.

4. ( Alam-i-Lahut  The manifest Absolute /the “world” of God-ness, the root “Lah” one and the same as in Al-Lah ( God).  Also, generally spoken of as Lahut). The spiritual stage pertaining to Lahut is sometimes referred to as Wahdah, sometimes as Wahadiyyat. There is no consensus communis re this matter.
Both above elucidated doctrines share the same terminology re the stages of manifestation (tanazzulat) of the created cosmos.

5. (Alam-i-Hahut/ The Unmanifest Absolute the “world” of “He-ness”, Hu-He being the Arabic term pertaining to God’s Essence prior to manifestation. The “world” is just a symbolic reference. This, Unmanifest dimension is frequently referred to only as Hahut). Of course, all other Arabic names given under the point 1. of the first doctrine are valid. The spiritual stage is Ahadiyyat.

These Nine Points

are located on the chest of each person and they represent nine different hidden states in every human being. Every state is connected to a saint, who has the authority to control that point.

“If the seeker in the Naqshbandi Way is able to unveil and to make spiritual contact with the authorized master controlling these points, he may be given knowledge of and power to use these nine points.

“The conditions related to opening these nine points can only be alluded to obliquely.

1.      The first station involves the power of imprisoning the ego.

2.      The key to the second state is Dhikr with la Illaha illallah.

3.      The third state consists in witnessing the engraving of Allah’s name on the heart (naqsh).

4.      The fourth state relates to the meaning of that engraving on the heart.

5.      The fifth state is to imprint the engraving with your dhikr.

6.      In the sixth state the heart is made to stop pumping at will and to start pumping at will.

7.      The seventh state is to be aware of the number of times one stops the heart from pumping and the number of times one restores the pumping of the heart.

8.      In the eighth state one mentions the phrase Muhammadun Rasulullah in every cessation of the heart and every restoration of its pumping.

9.      The ninth stage is to return to your Cave 9:40, as Allah mentioned in Surat al-Kahf, “When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourself to the Cave: your Lord will shower His mercies on you...” [18:16].

“The Cave is the Divine Presence.

Here one utters the cherished prayer of the Prophet: ‘O God, You are my destination and Your Pleasure is what I seek.’ Illahi anta Maksuti wa Ridat Matlubi.

The heart, as it cycles between the cessation and restoration of its pumping, is existing at the level of the Essence of the Divine Presence. Because that Divine Essence is the source of all created being, that heart will be at one with every minutest creation in this universe. The heart which has reached the secrets of the nine points will be able to see everything, hear everything, know everything, taste everything, sense everything, ‘Until He 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 be Lordly {Rabbani}, he only need say to a thing Be! and it will be.’”

“Allah gave the authority to change the Fixed Destiny only to the Nine Saints who are at the highest level in the Divine Presence, by permission from the Prophet (s) who is first to take that power from Allah.

They control the Nine Points of human consciousness related to the different stages of the Ascent of an Individual on his path to the Divine Presence. Allah gave these Nine Saints, whose number has not changed from the time of the Prophet (s) until today, the power to use Sultan adh-dhikr, the Greatest Remembrance.

“Everyone knows that Dhikr is primarily the repetition of la ilaha illallah, and that is what is practiced by all tariqats, including the Naqshbandiyya. But the Sultan adh-dhikr is a completely different type of Dhikr.

“Allah said, Inna na nu nazzalna-dh-dhikra wa inna lahu la- Hafizan [15:9], “We have revealed the Dhikr, and we are the One to protect that Dhikr in you.” The Dhikr mentioned here is the Holy Qur’an. The Dhikr of these nine saints, besides la ilaha illallah, is the Secret of the Holy Qur’an. They recite the Qur’an, not as we recite it reading from beginning to end, but they recite it with all its secrets and inner realities.

Because Allah said, wa la ra bin wa la yabisin illa fa kitabin muban [6:59] “Nor is there anything fresh or dry but is inscribed in a clear Record.” None of God’s creations in all the created universes has not been mentioned already, with all its secrets, in the Clear Book, the Qur’an.

“The saint reciting the Qur’an in Sultan adh-Dhikr is therefore reciting it with all the secrets of every creation, from beginning to end. Allah gave every letter of the Qur’an, according to the Nine Highest Masters of the Naqshbandi Order [this was the first time the Shaykh ever mentioned this secret], twelve thousand knowledge’s. The Qur’an contains around 600,000 letters, so for every letter, these saints are able to take 12,000 knowledge’s!

“Each of these nine saints differs from the other in his level as well. We may see that one of them, for example, was able to recite the Holy Qur’an by the power of Sultan adh-Dhikr, which is to grasp 12,000 meanings on every letter, only once in his life. Another was able to recite it three times in his life. The third was able to do it nine times in his life. Another was able to recite it 99 times in his life.

“This secret differed from one saint to another.

1.      Shah Naqshband (q) was able to do it 999 times in his life.

2.      Our Master Ahmad al-Faruqi was able to recite it 9,999 times in his life.

3.      Shaykh Sharafuddin was able to recite it 19,999 times.”

4.      Here Shaykh ‘Abdullah stopped. Shaykh Nazam said, “In every breath Grandshaykh ‘Abdullah Daghestani was exhaling with Sultan adh-Dhikr and inhaling with Sultan adh-Dhikr. He used to complete the secret of Qur’an twice in every breath.”
