"Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belongs the most beautiful names" Surah Taa-Haa, 8
The 4 attributes of Allah swt the Most High are : Dzát (Essence), Af’al (move in silent), Sifat (character and attributes) and As’ma (the most beautiful names).
Dzát (Essence) - never ever enter into any discussion about His Dzat (Essence), since His essence is not known to anyone but Him alone. His essence transcends levels and relationships and hence, cannot be known. We are unable to even grasp the knowledge of Essence since He is independent from everything. But in spite of this, He tells us about His Love and Mercy and that we may know His generosity.
"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah" Surah Al Ahzaab, 21
Af’al (move is Silent - power, intelligence, guidance, light), Sifat (attributes) and As'ma (beautiful names) is the One and Only True Light; and As’ma (the most beautiful names) is Muhammad's beautiful pattern of conduct, a created soul whose nature is Light that moves within the attributes (sifat) of asma i.e His beautiful names, hence the name Nur Muhammad. Nur Muhammad literally mean, Muhammad that moves within the attributes and characters of As'ma: His intelligence and His guidance. Hence, the Prophet is called the "Praised One."
"Allah is independent of the world" Surah Al-I-Imraan, 97
Ibnu Arabi teaches us that we can only talk about Asma relationships with His creation but we cannot talk about the Essence in terms of any relationships whatsoever. This is so because, it is utterly wrong and incorrect for Him and creation to come together as One in any mode whatsoever in respect of Essence. And he goes on to say that no name whatsoever can be applied to Dzat (Essence) since He is absolute unknowable.
"He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things" Surah Al-Hadid, 3
‘And He is with you wheresoever you may be" Surah Al Hadiid, 4
"See with the eyes of the soul" Prophet Isa as in Saying Number 27 Gospel of Thomas
"The human body is only an instrument of the Spirit" Rumi
The ascending and descending forms of Dzát, Af’al, Sifat and As’ma are but formlessness from One Reality. These formlessness are known as the Immanent and Evident because only He is the Immanent and the Evident. Immanent begins from Dzát, Af’al, Sifat and ends in Evident (As'ma); Evident emerges from Asma, Af’al and Sifat but this is not the attributes of Dzat because His Dzat is not known and no one knows His Dzat except Himself. Divine names are multiple only in properties but not in existence because in respect of Dzat, there can be no multiplicity.
"The most beautiful names belong to Allah. so call on Him by them" Surah Al A'raaf, 180
"He is with you wherever you are" Surah Al Hadiid, 4
"He forever watches over you" Surah An Nisaa, 1
When Allah swt sees that we are facing calamities and sufferings and helps us by telling us to call upon His names (Asma). Asma is a form of "Helper" and we received help from Allah swt through His names as a wage designated for us that Prophets and saints and men of faith say, "my wage falls only on Allah" (Qs 10: 72; Qs 11: 29; Qs 34:47).
"The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in His names: for what they do, they will soon be requited" Surah Al-A'raaf, 180
"The eye perceives nothing but Him; only He is to be known. We are His; by Him we exist, and by Him we are governed; and we are, at all times and in all states, in His presence" Ibnu Arabi
Hence, the command from Asmaul'husna comes from its Lord and we have presence that forever watches over us i.e the names of Allah swt and we all must, without doubt, be present with it and that our existence must demand support from it and not from anything else.
“O my Beloved, in both worlds, the best place is that where I can prostrate myself upon Thy feet And where in words of love , YOU and I can converse" Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani
The soul of man is Light - the cause-effect of this paradigm shift is Enlightenment, which means that man arrives at the threshold of Light where he knows himself to be nothing and that He is everything. This is the cessation of "self." Your real self is the soul and the soul is a borrowed Light: the seer of the seeing, the hearer of the hearing, the thinker of thought and the knower of knowledge. Your real self (sifat) is the silence (af'al) of the soul (asma). This is what is known as Nur: His power-desire-intent-purpose-intelligence-Knowledge-Will-guidance. This is the real self that is to be made realized in our being-ness and out of our being-ness as a form of rahmatan lil'alamin to His creation.
"And loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath" Surah Al Maaidah, 12
"A messenger rehearsing to you the Signs of Allah containing clear explanations" Surah At-Talaaq, 11
Allah swt is not Muhammad and Muhammad is not Allah swt. Therefore, know self and know your Lord, and know in which way you are Haqq and in which way you are Khalq by understanding the framework of Asma, Sifat and Af'al. Allah, the Al Haqq, lifts up your veil and reveals Himself to you in the most beautiful form for He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent. The meeting point of "knowingness" between Allah and man, the "descend" and "ascend" of the Immanent (Al-Haqq - His power-intent-purpose-desire-Will-intelligence i.e His rights and command over us) to the Evident (Khalq - in the form of beautiful pattern of conduct - Al Khalq rights and command over us through His Asma). Behold! and be still! know that God's right has more claim to be observed! There is no god but God and there is nothing else to be said, remembered and rehearsed.
Every beginning is with Your name. With Your name ends everything. Praise be to Allah. You are the God of my "Muhammad" - Ibnu Arabi
Ibnu Arabi teaches that the 99 names of incomparability pertain exclusively to Allah swt and the names of similarity, He shares with His servants.
"They ask thee concerning the Spirit (of inspiration). Say: "The Spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)" Surah Al-Israa, 85
Al Haqq - the knowingness-intelligence-knowledge-desire-intent-purpose-Will established its connections and become inwardly connected to Nur (Light) and outwardly manifest its Reality through us (Khalq) through the SOP or specification of Asmaulhusna and therefore, we manifest the effects and properties of these Divine Names. Each name is interconnected to what its Reality requires it to be and we can literally say that each of these Divine Names act as a "Spokesman" through His Will-desire-intent-purpose-intelligence-guidance-power. His names is His love, mercy and command through which the Spirit of Inspiration breathes away the darkness and sorrow and brings forth, the Light.
I am the name that comprehends your Realities
As'ma literally means to join or unite the soul to the nearness of Allah swt since He cannot be attained by speech, mind and the eye. One who knows Him through His beautiful names, to him alone His real nature is revealed and is loved by all beings in the heaven and the earth. This is the God-consciousness, the embodied soul that remembers and thinks about Him all day long, all night long and know and love no other than Him alone and he become established in the blissful, eternal and highest abode of peace and security in His Love and Mercy.
"Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge" Surah Yaasin, 36
"Bismillah your old self to find your real name" Rumi
Everything has its pair. Your physical name is Maryam. Definitely your soul has a name too or else, you are saying that you too behold the attributes of Oneness i.e there can be no other name other than your own is truly eerie. When the soul and spirit ceases to be and turns away from the body wholly, all faculties, senses, understanding and life disappear - these are those who are "dead" in the realm of life. Hence, when they come together, they give life and when separated, they give death.
His names replenish life, for "He is the light of the heaven and the earth" Surah An Nur, 35. He who is deeply rooted in knowledge who understands this verse knows how Allah swt preserve heaven and the earth. Can you see any flaw?
"And the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful" Surah An Nisaa, 64 & 110
Al Wujud that resonate within our inner reality of His attributes of Oft Returning Most Merciful that he finds Allah ever with him, and that he knows Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking account (surah An Nur, 39). Faculties of sensations, awareness, consciousness, hearing, seeing, feeling, understanding etc belongs to the soul and spirit. To exist is to manifest divine realities and attributes: His power, His intelligence, His Will-intent-purpose-desire. Al Wujud descends with all its caliphs and caliphs are His soldiers. His caliphs are those who possesses His intelligence, awareness, light, power, speech, generosity, justice, love, mercy, compassion, guidance etc - divine attributes and a beautiful pattern of conduct.
“Listen to your heart and not your ego. Your ego prompts you to boast of vain assertions to obtain the glory of this world. Turn away from vanity and seek Him in the recesses of your heart and soul" - Shaikh Abd Qadir Al Jilani
"Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) Reality" Surah Al An'aam, 62
“He loves them, and they love Him” Surah Al Maidah, 54
"And He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect" Surah Ar Rum, 21
Since Allah swt is the only Reality, the First and the Last, the Immanent and the Evident, He created perception in our consciousness in order that we may perceived Him through His beautiful names. There are 5 organs of perception: feeling (heart), emotion, seeing & hearing, smell and taste when the mind and intellect ceases, these higher senses is able to perceive Him. His form is not known and no one can see Him with the eye. He can only be perceived by the heart, by the light and by the soul.
"I was a Hidden Treasure and I desired to be known so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me" Hadith Qudsi
"Only he who bears witness to the Truth, and they know Him" Surah Az Zukhruf, 86
"And the Prophet asks from Allah swt by His great names" Hadith Anas r.a
The Name of Allah Most High Most Great Ar Rahman Raheem - therefore by His great love and mercy prevents the abandonment of His servants to know and love Him and without Him introducing Himself to them, they will not reach their goal of goodness and perfection. And anyone who is given the name Rahman and Raheem upon himself knew that it encompasses the message of the apostles and the knowledge of the scriptures is far greater than the fact that there is rain, vegetation and grains (worldly); demands of the heart and the soul is greater than his demands for what his body will gain from nature. But those who are veiled from the name only knows its animal nature - hate, anger, revenge etc: the nafs ammarah and nafs lawammah, while those who are wise knows the name in the virtues of its purity, beauty, love, compassion, mercy and grace.
“At the end of my search for the Truth, it is not through the path of aql’ or intellect nor by gathering proofs but through the light that He emit in my soul” Imam Ghazali
The Immanent (asmaulhusna) must reveal its Evident in order that one knows His Lord in Truth and not by taqlid. However, no one will ever know His Dzat or Essence as He does not resemble any created things. The Holy Prophet Muhammad announces to his companions that he has seen his Lord: ‘in the most beautiful of forms and I felt the freshness of His fingers in my breast, adding the phrase: ‘then every thing manifested to me, and I knew’ - (Ibn Hanbal, Musnad, V, 243). What is to be made known to the Prophet is made manifest to him in His beautiful forms and it is at this stage, prophets and saints are blessed with adab and knowledge (divine guidance).
Someone asked Shaikh Abd. Al Qadir Jilani what he had received from his Lord of Truth, Glorious and Exalted is He, and he replied "knowledge (ilm') and good manners (adab and honourable pattern of conduct)." He is indeed Nur Muhammad (batinu) in the form of Shaikh Abd. Al Qadir Jilani (zahiru).
"..... he who came with the Truth" Surah Az Zumar, 33
“Huwal-'Awwalu wal-'Akhiru waz-'Zahiru wal-'Batin: wa Huwa bi-kulli shay-' in 'Aliim. He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is knower of all things” Surah Hadiid, 3
“But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit” Surah As-Sajdah, 9
“Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern of conduct” Surah Al-Ahzaab, 21
"Allah is the light of the heaven and the earth" Surah An Nur, 35
"I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own Being" Hafiz
"O lovers, lovers, the time of union and encounter has come! The proclaimation from heaven has come, "moon-faced beauties, welcome hither!" Rumi
The soul is Nur/Light in nature. Light is one of Allah's divine attributes and Light is not His Dzat (Essence) since He is unknown.
“Be among the community (of believers) who are blessed by (Divine) Mercy. Don't abandon the way of conduct of Muhammad, (but) be commanded (by it)” Rumi
"What is our purpose, you ask. It is to love like God" Rumi
"And of every thing We have created pairs: that ye may receive instruction" Surah Al Dhariyat, 49
Nur is the God Code revealing itself in its omnipresent, omniscient radiating and abiding in men of faith. All men of faith possesses the Nur and they are subjected to the simulated reality of Prophet Muhammad’s honorable pattern of conduct, consciousness, senses, perception and awareness in its Law of Pairs – twin or copy, self-same, alike etc. Here comes the reality of the Quantum CopyCat. Copenhagen Interpretation states that a moving coin even separated are neither head or tail, in fact, head and tail don't even exist. It is as if two coins is communicating simultaneously/instantaneously even separated billions of light years away - action at a distance.
“When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like)” Surah Al Takwiir, 7
Zuwijat means, to pair something with and Nufoos is plural for nafs or soul. Men will be paired with either the right hand companion or the left hand companion. They are those who are the same, alike, acting like a copy or twin. Allah swt says which means, “gather those who did wrong, together with their AZWAAJ companions” Surah As Saaffaat, 22. This is truly a spooky action at a distance and I shiver up my spine every time I give it a thought because we can either be a Firaun, Abu Jahal or Abu Lahab and these consciousness do exist in this century and we didn’t even notice it. But blessed are those who surrender and quantum copycat the noble pattern of conduct of prophets and saints.
"I left myself to behold my Beloved" Sallina Ismail
"Today I beheld the Beloved, that ornament of every affair. He went off departing to heaven like the Spirit of Mustafa" Rumi
Nur Muhammad is the name of all human soul and man is the pre-established design of the same quantum effect, zahir and batin. Nur - fitrah of the soul and Muhammad - pre-established pattern/design of man in its Arabic letterings of Mim Ha Mim Dal, hence the name, Nur Muhammad: His intelligence, His Asma' (beautiful pattern of conduct) His knowledge, His guidance-intent-purpose-Will.
"Light upon light and unto His Light" Surah An Nur, 35
"We have come from the Light. For you have come from it and you will return there again" Prophet Isa as. Saying Number 51, the lost Gospel of Thomas
Nur is the God-Code which is the software rule of all living beings. The vibrational God-Code imprinted in Nur Muhammad acting as the body’s unique and intelligent driving force and also as means of communication between the soul and the Creator. Prophet Muhammad was sent as Rahmatan Lil’alamin to the world and it is the character of higher intelligence that is doing it – the Nur, in which Allah swt set up the God-Code sequence for the soul’s guidance due to His nature, Ar Rahman Ar Raheem Al Karim Al Latif. As pure water poured into pure water become one, prophets and saints become one (His nearness) with the Supreme One with limitations within His desire, intent, power, Will and purpose. By His light, their being-ness is lighted. It is at this stage that the fire burns, the sun shines and the flower blooms so much. The sun cannot shine nor the moon, the flower cannot bloom and the lightning cannot strike. When the sun arises, the moon is split asunder! This is so because when He shines, everything shines after Him, by His light, all else is lighted!
I am the Limited “He”
We are created in this Truth together and we are all beings of Truth and the Reality.
“I am an atom; You are like the countenance of the Sun for me” Rumi
"The human being is My secret, and I am his secret. Knowledge of the inner being is one of My secrets. I have installed it in the heart of My servants, and no one is aware of it, apart from Me" Hadith Qudsi
Nur Muhammad has been pre-established since the beginning of its birth in the mind of Allah swt before the creation of Prophet Adam a.s. Therefore, Nur Muhammad (batinu) is the Awwalu (the beginning) - because Allah swt cannot be the "beginning" as He has no beginning nor ending! and Prophet Adam a.s is the Zahiru and Prophet Muhammad is the Akhiru (the seal of Prophets) and men of faith (soul – Nur Muhammad) are all rooted in this creative higher intelligence character set up - the shadow of the Great Reality, hence, Prophet Muhammad is the shadow of Allah swt: His rahmatan lil’alamiin), His power, His intelligence, His word, His guidance, His purpose and Will - to tell us the story of our own soul and the purpose of our existence. We are all the loci of love (zahiru) of these divine names (batinu). Asmaulhusna is the name of levels and not the entity and asmaulhusna is light and divinity (God-power God-intelligence) that possesses properties for us to function as caliphs of Great Governance - Rahmatan Lil-alamiin.
We are a pattern that has been pre-established since the beginning of time. Nur Muhammad is a definite inherited complexity and we are all born into this structure through the soul that influence our biological and physiological order. No man is born without it, it is only veiled due to how the quantum world of Free Will operate. In the lost Gospel of Thomas which was unearthed in Egypt in 1945, Prophet Isa as said, "if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. If you do not know your "self" you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
"There is no god but God. What more is there to say?" Rumi
"Naught but Love itself can explain love and lovers. None but the sun can display the sun" Rumi
It is at the stage of Nur Muhammad that Shaikh Ibnu Arabi professed, “O’ You who is the Unlimited “He” while I am the limited “He!” O’ “He” apart from whom there is no other.” Which literally mean, Allah swt encompasses his being-ness in His power and knowledge. He has supreme power over him and his being-ness has indeed tapped into Quantum Mechanics. It is difficult to understand the subtlety of words professed by friends of Allah swt until you know and witness Him in truth within your consciousness, perception, senses and awareness.
“It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah. when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah.s: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things)” Surah Al Anfaal, 17
"Allah gives power to his messengers over any He pleases: and Allah has power over all things" Surah Al-Hashr, 6
"I am no more. Not a teacher nor a leader. Just a servant to Your wishes" Rumi
It is Nur Muhammad (batin – light of the soul) that recognized his Lord in Truth, which is the highest station of submission to Allah alone. To Nur Muhammad: apart from Him, there is no other. Allah swt suffices him and He is his Most Beneficent Trustee, the One and Only intended and desired, in Witnessing and being-ness. It is He who encompasses his intelligence and He has supreme power over him, He is the All Wise All Aware. He is his closest proximity. Nur Muhammad is like a puppet and Allah swt is the Master, Director and the only Guide and at this stage, Nur Muhammad (batin) is fixate within the limits and boundaries beyond which he cannot change and his body (zahir) has no control over itself. Prophets and saints are the shadow of Allah swt because they move, speak and behave in His knowledge and act according to the pattern that He has pre-designed for them. Allah Great is He and ever Majestic and Mighty is He says, "whoever demeans one of My saints has declared war on Me." This is so because saints are the channels through which their actions are His action and their words are His word and so are the prophets and great is He remain hidden behind the veil.
"They ask thee concerning the Spirit (of inspiration). Say: "The Spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you, (O men!)" Surah Al Israa, 85
"The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen" Rumi
Nur Muhammad, the gravity of love between the soul and the Creator, light upon light and unto His Light of knowledge, intelligence, guidance, love, power and rahmah. Gravity is not a fundamental force but a phenomenon that springs from the entanglement of quantum bodies. Alain Aspect is a French physicist noted for his experimental work on quantum entanglement. He and his team discovered that “under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing.”
"My faithful servant constantly seeks My nearness through optional prayer till I make him My friend. I become his ear, his eyes, his hands and his legs that he hears through Me, sees through Me, holds through Me and understands through Me" Hadith Qudsi
"Physical (worldly) senses are the ladder of the earth. Spiritual senses are the ladder of heaven" Rumi
“And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad" Surah As Saff, 6
The nature of Nur Muhammad is conscious, aware, sense, enlightened, knowing, cognizant, acquaint, attentive, familiar, alive and living and perceive nothing but what is intended and desired by his Creator; its essence is light, creative power and divine intelligence. It is the element of omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient. It is infinitely whole and perfect and works on the principle of Love, Truth and Righteousness and its attributes function in the most honorable way computed by His mercy, compassion, beauty and grace, Ar Rahman Ar Raheem. Nur Muhammad, upon recognition to the self that behold this wondrous light of beauty must be made receptive to Ahmad, back to singularity of His divine attributes (sifat, af'al) and beautiful names (asma), hence, there is no god but God cycle is complete.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said that the Messenger of Allah said: Allah (Mighty and Sublime be He) said: "When I love My servant, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks." Which literally mean, I am nothing, He is everything. It is at this stage that both Al Hallaj and Prophet Isa a.s was killed and crucified when they professed: "I am the Truth (Ana'l-Haqq)" - Al Hallaj; and "I am the Way, the Truth" - Prophet Isa a.s. Al Hallaj and Prophet Isa a.s is denying their "self" and has indeed slayed their "self" so that duality vanish. Their being-ness has bloomed so much and all that remains is only His face. But how can you understand that which you have yet to experience? Feel sorry my friends and enemies, for you did not see Him and understand the way we did!
Each one of us, regardless of race and religion are composed within these pre-established fundamental singularity pattern of Nur Muhammad, if he reached the highest pinnacle of Light. In Newton’s theory, two bodies attract each other even if they’re far apart. Whatever gravity is, it seemed to operate instantaneously over empty space. Object A have an effect over object B and they either had to be touching or there had to be some sort of physical stuff in between A and B to mediate the force.
“I have neither a soul nor a body, for I come from the very Soul of all souls” Rumi
"Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows into the ocean. Absorbed in this world, you've made it your burden. Rise above the world. There is another vision" Rumi
7 billion souls and not one is alike, just like the snowflakes, we are the same yet different. Millions of years of snowflakes and not a single one looks the same is enough to contemplate upon the soul’s inherent beauty, rahmah and grace (rahmatan Lil’alamin) our Divine Maker has for each one of us.
Ponder the snowflake. IT is structured within a mathematical composition that shows the limit of how far it can grow yet its circuitry enlarges, progresses and grows into a more complex and infinite form. This rhythm and regularity appears in nature and the universe to communicate to men that the same inherent beauty is in our lovely soul, as a mirror image. Ponder the universe. It is forever expanding in space and according to Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed, rather it evolve from potential to kinetic. Nur Muhammad is likened to conserved energy in the mathematics of snowflake, and the human soul can transform from potential to kinetic even science is unable to comprehend it. This is the hidden God-code that reveals the greatest Truth and encoded into the foundation and construction of the human body. Indeed, "the human body is engineered to transform the soul into a great universe" Sallina Ismail. By His Nur one obtain strength, knowledge, intelligence and beautiful pattern of conduct. Nur Muhammad, the alchemy elixir of love and love is light and the shadow of the Great Reality. And it is for this great Love that Ibn Arabi said: "I profess the religion of Love. Wherever its caravan turn along the way, that is the belief and faith I keep."
"Nothing have we omitted from the Book" Surah Al An'aam, 38
Our capacity to witness and be wired in this pre-established divine design, Nur Muhammad, will surely come to pass with spiritual practice, true devotion with sincerity and discipline according to the adab that was given to us in the Holy Quran, if we truly study the Quran as it should be studied! Blessed are those who study the teachings of the Holy Quran. He who engages much of his life, heart and soul in the Holy Quran attains peace and focus and no longer a slave to passions. He who loves the Holy Quran is devout, self-controlled and disciplined in his heart, soul and spirit. That is the reason why Prophet Muhammad said, I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly." To me, the sunnah literally mean, the Prophet's beautiful pattern of conduct which is taught only in the Holy Quran on how one can achieve this state, by His leave.
"Therefore, know your self, who you are, what is your identity. Consider well in what way you are Haqq, and in what way Khalq, as being separate, other. He who knows himself knows his Lord; indeed, He is his very identity and reality" Ibnu Arabi
In order to realized Nur Muhammad that is inherent in our soul, renounce and cast off everything and having done that, assimilate yourself to that which remains only His face, i.e ONENESS, an act of measurement collapses the wave function of bondage to the attachment of all objects of the material world. Serving Allah swt alone should be our raison d’etre. Longing and serving other than Allah swt is made prevalent when the heart is overwhelmed of all the desires of “mine.”
Abandoning the thoughts of “mine” and uphold the thoughts of “only His” liberates the human soul from the bondage of objects. The illuminated soul become free of names, images, subjects, objects and forms and has grasped within his being the radiant and the highest pinnacle of Light - Nur Muhammad. His being-ness is obliterated and consumed in Oneness - there is no god but God. When one attains the state of TAUHID, he will not be deluded. Remaining in this state till the last breath, he attains tranquility, supreme joy and divine love: you will be carried to the valley of destiny and you will be controlled by divine destiny. The protection and guardianship of God will be accompanying you till you meet your Lord by His Mercy, so I have learned from the wise.
"So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves; that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful" Surah Al Baqarah, 54
"In Love, to be wide awake is treason. The more a man is awake, the more he sleeps to Love. His critical wakefulness is worse than slumbering" Rumi
"Die happily and look forward to taking up a new and better form. Like the sun, only when you set in the west can you rise in the east" Rumi
O' ye who believe, die to "self" and become alive to Him alone. Rumi teaches us that in God's presence, two I's cannot exist. You cannot know your 'self' and God's self: either you die before God or God will die before you so that duality will not remain. But as for God's dying, that is both impossible and inconceivable because God is the All Living the Immortal. So gracious is He that if it were possible for Him, He would die for your sake. Since that is not possible, then you must die so that God can reveal Himself to you and duality can vanish.
“If the foot of the trees were not tied to earth, they would be pursuing me. For I have blossomed so much, I am the envy of the gardens” Rumi
Rumi dissolved his being-ness to Oneness and love has blossomed so much in him. My religion is love, said Rumi. Lovers of Allah swt deny their existence save the face of Allah swt. They professed, I am nothing, He is everything. Rumi is a spiritual master who taught his disciples TAUHID. Teachers like him are rare in these days. In his book FIHI MA FIHI Rumi said, “there are certain lovers of Allah swt, who, because of their great majesty and jealousy for Allah swt, do not show themselves openly, but they cause disciples to attain important goals and bestow gifts upon them. Such mighty spiritual saints are rare and precious.”
Therefore, find a truthful teacher, and through his/her direct experience can reveal to you the Truth and the Wholeness of their absolutely consistent Truth.
'A pure heart open to the light will be filled with the very essence of Truth" Rumi
Truth when taught by a man of lesser truth, the Truth cannot be truly known even by thought, unless it is taught by an illumined experienced teacher because the Truth is subtler than the subtle which is beyond disagreements and arguments. In the light of Truth, there is neither dogma nor hearsay. By His light, all Truth is made radiant, so I have learned from those who have surrendered.
Therefore, O' ye who believe, there is no god but God. It is what it is and this is what is to be remembered, uphold, proclaimed and delivered.
As for the theorists and thinkers, and the scholastic theologians, with their talk about the soul and its properties, none of them have grasped the Reality; such speculation can never grasp it. He who seeks to know the Reality through theoretical speculation is flogging a dead horse; ... for he who seeks to know It by any means other than the one proper to It, will never grasp It - Ibnu Arabi
