INTRODUCTION
The Arabic Letter
Haa () in the normal Arabic character
set is
27.=9
In the numerical character set, Abjad, Haa ()
is the 5th Letter with numerical value 5. This article is about
the spiritual meaning of the Letter Haa ().
{
5th level of heart Huwiya}
THE LETTER HAA ()
The Letter Haa () is a
Muqattaat
Letter. That is, it is used as a Letter in the opening verses
of two Chapters of the Quran. These two Chapters of the Quran
are:
1 Kaaf
Ha
Ya Ayn Saad.
2 (This is) a recital of Mercy of your Rabb to His
Servant Zakariya.[Quran: Maryam
Chapter 19]
1 Ta Haa.
2 We have not revealed this Quran to you so that
you should be distressed,
3 But as a reminder to him who fears,
4 A revelation from Him Who created the earth and
the high heavens,
5 Ar Rahman (Most Gracious), Who is established on
the Throne
[Quran: Ta Ha Chapter 20]
Since the value of the
Letter Haa ()
is 5 and it is used 2 times as a Muqattaat Letter we get:
5 () times 2 = 10 =
which
is Knowledge.
If we look at the first
usage of the Letter Haa () as a Muqattaat Letter, we find
that it is followed by the Letter Ya ().
Knowledge (= 10) leads the '0' to '1'.
Knowledge
comes from Allah through Hidayat
Guidance.
And Hidayat leads to Knowledge and Knowledge leads to Allah.
The disbelievers are
servants of these 5 senses.
The disbelievers want a physical 'form' to worship. They will
not believe unless they can 'see' or 'touch' or 'hear' physically
with some of their senses.
The believers are masters
of these 5 senses. The
believers use their senses as servants. The believers only rely
on these senses in order to gather information. They accept the
existence of Allah because they have heard
the teachings of Allah through the Messengers ()
of Allah.
After careful consideration they have accepted what
the ears have told them. Muslims are a community of witnesses
because they recite the Shahadat.
A Shahid
is one who witnesses There
is no god only Allah Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah with his / her intelligence based
on the information gathered by the senses.
Hidayat is knowing the truth from falsehood. Hidayat is controlling our 5 senses to be our servants
and not our masters. What do we find in Quran ?
CONTROLLING THE 5
SENSES
We find in the Quran:
(To keep the article short
and simple, only one example will be shown per sense)
What we can eat and what
is forbidden - Taste
118 Eat that over which the name of
Allah has been mentioned, if you are believers in His revelations [Quran: Al
Anaam Chapter 6]
What we can see and what
is forbidden - Sight
30 Tell the believing men to lower
their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Allah is Aware
of what they do.
31 And tell the believing women to lower their gaze
and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which
is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not
to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers
or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or
their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their
women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or
children who know nothing of women's nakedness. And let them not
stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment.
And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that you may
succeed.
[Quran: An
Noor Chapter 24]
What we can touch and
what is forbidden - Touch
12
Ya ay yuhan Nabee (Prophet) ! If
believing women come to you, taking oath of allegiance unto you
that they will ascribe nothing as partner unto Allah, and will
neither steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children, nor
produce any lie that they have devised between their hands and
feet, nor disobey you in what is right, then accept their allegiance
and ask Allah to forgive them. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[Quran: Al
Mumtahanah Chapter 60]
What we can hear and
what is forbidden - Hearing
3 A scripture whereof the verses
are expounded, a Lecture in Arabic for people who have knowledge.
4
Good tidings and a warning. But most of them turn
away so that they hear not.
[Quran: Ha
Meem Chapter 41]
What we can sense with
our nose - Smell
94
When the caravan left (Egypt) their
father said: "I do indeed scent the presence of Yusuf (Joseph):
though you may deny it."
[Quran: Yusuf
Chapter 12]
An important point to
note is that 4 of the 5 senses are localised to the organs, namely smell, sight,
taste and hearing.
But the sense of touch is spread all
over the body.
Why do we need to control
the 5 senses ?
Because the punishment
or reward is based on these 5 senses.
20 At length when they reach the (Fire)
their hearing their sight and their skins will bear witness against
them as to (all) their deeds.
21 They will say to their skins: "Why do you
bear witness against us?" They will say: "Allah has
given us speech (He) Who gives speech to everything: He created
you for the first time and unto Him were you to return.
[Quran: Ha
Meem Chapter 41]
Since the sense of touch
is spread all over the body, the punishment of burning in the
fire is the most difficult to bear. May Allah have Mercy on everyone
of us.
How do we control the
5 senses ?
By taking 5 steps, and then again another
5 steps.
5 + 5 = 10 =
Knowledge.
The first
5 steps are Wudu.
WUDU - ABLUTION
Step 1 is a body free of impurities.
Step 2 is clothes free of impurities.
Step 3 is saying Bismillah
Hir Rahman Nir Raheem
at the start of Wudu.
Step 4 is performing the
Wudu.
Wudu is essentially washing
or cleaning the 5 senses.
We need to wash the hands (touch),
the mouth (taste - 3 times),
the nose (smell - 3 times),
the face (eyes are included in this
- touch and sight
- 3 times),
the arms (touch - 3 times, starting with the right
arm and then repeating with the left arm).
Run moistened hands
from forehead, over the head to the back of the neck and back
to the forehead (touch).
Then we wipe the ears with moistened
fingers (hearing),
and finish of with washing the
feet (touch - washing the right foot first
and then the left foot).
To conclude the Wudu
we take the fifth step.
Step 5 is the recitation of Kalima Shahadat:
ASH HADU AL
LA ILAHA ILL ALLAHU WA ASH HADU AN NA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHU WA RASOOLUH
I TESTIFY
(BEAR WITNESS TO THE FACT) THERE IS NO GOD ONLY ALLAH AND I TESTIFY
MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND RASOOL (MESSENGER)
Notice that we have to
clean the sense of touch in the Wudu in 5 stages.
The other 5 steps are
the 5 Daily prayers.
THE FIVE DAILY PRAYERS
There are 5 prayers (Salah)
per day.
These are Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and
Ishaa.
The purpose of the prayers is to
communicate with Allah. The purpose of the prayers is to keep remembering Allah
throughout the day and the night. The purpose of the prayer is keep ourselves
pure physically and spiritually. The purpose of the prayer is to attain
'nearness' to Allah.
If we look at the numerical
values of the names of the prayers:
Fajr
= 283 = 200 () + 3 ()
+ 80 () = {13
is the value of Nur}
Zuhr= 1105 =
200 () + 5 ()
+ 900 ()= {
7 power of the King}
Asr= 360 =
200 () + 90 ()
+ 70 () = {
360 the Circle completion day end}
If we reduce the overall
total to a single digit we get :
3 + 3 + 6 + 2 = 14 {
is Noon value is 50}
1 + 4 =
5
=
The 5 prayers
are named in such a way that the overall total numerical values
of all their names can be reduced to the number 5 which
is the numerical value of the Letter Haa ().
That Letter Haa () is connected to
Hidayat
-
Guidance.
The Hidayat came from Hu
to His
Messengers () and they in turn
taught it to their communities.
FROM HU THROUGH HADEE
Hidayat comes from Allah. And Allah is Hu
.
Husent
the Hidayat
Guidance
to a Hadee
Guide
chosen by Him.
That Hadee
Guide
is Muhammad
.
That Hidayat
is recorded for
us in the Quran.
51
And it was not (vouchsafed) to
any mortal that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation
or from behind a veil, or (that) He sends a messenger to reveal
what He will by His leave. He is Exalted, Wise.
52 And thus have We inspired in you
(Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. You did not know what the
Scripture was, nor the Faith. But We have made it a Noor (light)
whereby We guide whom We will of Our servants. And you do guide
to the right path.
[Quran: Ash
Shura Chapter 42]
May Allah and His Rasool
Guide us and keep us on True Guidance.
Ameen.
Only Allah Knows
Best.
