I met Syed, a humble servant of Allah swt, during one of my Tauhid classes and he adhered strictly to the adab of night prayer (tahajjud) that was given to him. He never ceases his night prayer ever since. While others are sleeping, he is fully awake to Him alone and glorifying His praises is his passion. His mind illumined by the awareness of his Oft' Merciful Lord and his spirit taken up with ardent desire of Him and no other. His wisdom and insight is able to witness the secret mystery of being in the creation of the universe, the moon and the stars and all that is in between.
Love is now his pride and humbleness and patience is his cloak. He is now like Majnun, a mad wanderer pronouncing and glorifying his Lover whom he never met yet yearning his Lover in his very existence is all that he ever do. He indeed has left himself, to behold the Beloved. He is now drunk in the wine of His love. His knowledge is steady and his thought of Him is quiescent and established in his mind is Him alone and he is free from longing all objects of desire. This infinite bliss are blessed to His contemplators whose passion for the world ceases. His being-ness has indeed tapped into Quantum Mechanics. All he ever experience is love and oneness. It is the cessation of “self” – it is all blissful and tranquillity and non-duality. What is more lovely than committing oneself to Him alone?
Therefore, blessed are those who have surrendered and enter His abode of peace and security. But in separation, the lover is like a name empty of life’s meaning and purpose.
"It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders" Surah Al-Hijr 15:16
One of his passion is pondering nature and signs in the heaven and he was mesmerized every time he looked at the beauty of the stars and its glimmer. In nature, he saw flowers, trees, plants blooming with colours and patterns of insatiable beauty and felt everything that surround him radiate His immense love for him. Through Him, Syed perceives heavenly beauty that could not be explained by mere words alone as much as the tongue can say and words can express. Only he who behold his Beloved in every fibre of his being can experience such exquisite and remarkable taste of beauty sweetened by the wine of His love, a beautiful rahmah and nikmat so enormous bestowed to lovers of Allah swt.
And what he captured in the sky in the hours of the early morning recently is hauntingly beautiful, stunningly captivating and a mystery which he shared and it just blew me away.
“The magnificent cosmos is a palace that has the sun and the moon as its lamps and the stars as its candles; time is like a rope or ribbon hung within it, on to which the Glorious Creator each year threads a new world” Said Nursi
With His light, all else is lighted!
(Note: The videos and images below are captured from the same light with different sets of behaviour and the only one light that appeared in the sky and no other.)
“The same object which was captured in stack using the same light and setting. It also appear in green in addition to blue, purple, pure light and a central dot (with a circle around it). And at times red in colour" - Syed.
"And for part of the night also praise thou Him,- and at the retreat of the stars! " Surah At-Tuur 52:49
“Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty” Rumi
The vision of that one brilliant star, that keeps burning so brightly and it is the last light to fade into the rising sun. It is as if Allah swt is saying, remember Me! I will always be here as long as you hold Me in your remembrance. I am with you whenever you call out My name. I am with you who glorify and praise Me whole heartedly and if you could just listen and hear My call reaching out to you and touch you with My love. Grieve no more, fear no more. I am forever waiting for My lover so I can make him glow and glitter like that one shining Star and when he glow by My light, his whole being will be intoxicated by the madness of My love like that of a Drunken Star.
"You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue or church. But if you still are in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover" Rumi
"Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those who believe" Surah Al Jathiyah, 3
“We have honoured the children of Adam.” Just as this copper astrolabe reflects the movements of the heavens like a mirror, so the human being is the astrolabe of God” Rumi
Our beauty is in the stars as a mirror image and we are indeed honoured by our Creator who moulded us with His All Loving All Merciful hands, if we truly ponder. We are the entire universe in its degree and ranks of a Star of piercing brightness. It is a shame if we die not knowing the reality of the stuff we are made of. Allah swt engineered the human body to transform the soul into a great universe and by studying TAUHID significance on the quantum level of the human soul, which aids in the unification of fundamental light forces, will lead us to discover the nature of our true self, a reality so supermassive you are unable to comprehend it.
'This Love has whispered secrets in your ear that don't make sense to anybody else. You know who you are. You are the shining star" Rumi
Therefore, those who seek not the light within and are busy with the life of this world and its adornment, such is truly a great loss for them.
