Part I
The Nonpareil One, with
certainty beyond any doubt, is the
utmost necessity for all existence, [1]
IT
is precisely not whatsoever
entering
the thoughts or residing in memories. The “King of power and ruler of
dominion”
[2] the True deserved uncontested
King, a Creator a Builder in ITs Essence and
the absolute active participle the most efficacious potent Doer.
Whatsoever in
existence, whether ancient or nascent, , the Doer and the Subject are
all IT.
Pen-less drew the most
exquisite innovative shapes,
pillar-less raised the lofty tent of the heavens. The Most High giver
of
substance to all minds, the creator of all physical shapes and forms
the
creator of the primordial substance [3].
Impeccably, precisely,
perpetually
organized the intermix of creation, perfected the vision for the eyes
of all
hearts [4]. Unparalleled artful designer of
all existence deserves none but IT
the prostrations of all creation. IT
is the deity of all Mankind and
Jinn [5],
the originator the creator of all hearts, minds and bodies.
On ITs path traverse all
orbiting planets, stars and
galaxies, (but without IT) all bewildered and stalled. All rushing on
ITs
quest, all seeking IT day & night. Each movement due to extreme
desire and
zest, each one on this quest with vigor and much verve. The encircling
of ITs
ever-encompassing commandments the precious necklace around all necks,
yet IT is away
afar and pure from all whims and desires.
Empty of all whims and desires
good and evil, superior to
all imaginations thoughts and reason. The mighty and pure Names of IT,
are the
descriptions of the artful fabrication [6]
of ITs outer manifestation.
No one knows what IT really is
except ITself, “No deity
except IT” (Koran [2:163]) the ultimate precise description of
IT. Whomsoever
attempts to voice a
mention of Hu (IT),
fits not on their tongues [7]
this paramount remembrance of ‘Hu (IT)’. Even in the language of
Remembrance (Dhikr) who
knows
even how to say ‘Hu (IT)’, most dear and loved would be the one who can
even
say
‘Hu (IT)’.
Words flow upon the tongues,
however ‘Hu (IT)’ echoes from the
depth of hearts. [8]
End.
Background: The microscopic
sphere placed upon a cantilever bends
towards the metallic surface due to a quantum vacuum force i.e. Sanāî’s Hayūlā,
which shows even where things are so small even if there is vacuum
still
there is
another intervening force affecting things that ordinarily not
attracted to each
other thus move inwards. In other words we are never alone and there is
a most
unique force that is surrounding us, interferes from the atomic sized
objects to
large celestial structures and no matter where and when in the universe
this
force and its interventions are one and the same!
[1] We
are under two false impressions:
- Events around us such as the wars are
really the world going out of the control of Allah. There is no
existence, including the existence of war that is not depending
completely and unconditionally under ITs control.
- Our thoughts and beliefs and
imaginations are the God ITself. We foolishly think that which within
us believing in the higher power is the God. Nothing within us has
anything to do with the Almighty.
[2] The King phrase from Koran[3:26]:
Say: "O Allah. Lord of Power
(And Rule), Thou givest
power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom
Thou
pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou
bringest low
whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things
Thou hast
power."
[3] The Arabic word used for
Primordial Matter is ‘Hayūlā’
which is a derivative of the word ‘Hayūl’ which means floating
particles or
minute particles. However this word is further extended by the
scientists of
that time into another one “Hayūlā” which means to be well formed and
shaped.
Their concept of primordial matter extended beyond just matter,
additionally into
ever-changing transformtaions into
different shapes and states and life and etc. Ibn Roshd defined this
term:
“‘Hayūlā’ is the fundamental
and unique cause of all
existence and destruction and if a being does not have Hayūlā’s nature
within, this being is not of this world’s existence and destruction.”
In modern terms the closest I
can think of for this term is
“Quantum Vacuum” or “Vacuum Fluctuations” made up of virtual
infinitesimally
short-lived particles.
[4] There
are eyes within our hearts
instead of seeing the
physical forms they can behold the spiritual beings. This eye not an
ambiguous
concept of poets, indeed a faculty created by the supreme beauty of the
universe, the Beloved of cosmos intended an instrument for us to see IT
from
within no matter what the outwardly conditions. A blind, a poor, a HIV
patient,
the black the white, the powerful or the meek they all can command this
faculty
to see the Beloved. Sanāî
uncovers a secret here: This inner vision
is
perfected by the Beloved who wants to be seen by the hearts of lovers.
This
perfection is our quest.
[5] Jinn are creatures made from flame
or sparks lived on
earth prior to Mankind.
[6] Names are indicators and
attributes like Most Merciful
(Rahim) or Most Beneficent (Rahman) The Most High ('Alā) and etc. These
Names
are descriptions of what or how IT
does things. The Arabic word ‘Son'a’
which
reads like Sonet without the ‘T’ sound, was translated into
‘fabrication’ but
it is meant with the a touch of artful character. It means these Names
and
attributes are descriptions of ITs outer manifest, which we are allowed
to see,
hear or experience. But the Creator with most deliberate intent
fabricates this
outer surface of attributes and one should not think it is by accident
or
little meaning.
[7] The Beloved Creator of this
universe is most immense and
beyond any grasp of mind or technology or words, that man is humbled to
be able
to remember or mention anything about this Divine Being except calling
it
‘IT’.
No
words or description no matter how lengthy or advance can ever describe
one
second of ITs existence, Koran[18:109] :
[8] Mere words come upon our tongues for the purposes
of human-to-human communication and emoting. But the word ‘Hu (IT)’
comes
from deep
within our hearts not from our tongues.
