Chapter: | On knowing the secrets of Fasting. |
Page 657 - from Volume One (Display Image)Al-Muttalib on the authority of Aisha, she said, When Ramadan came, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, would tighten his loins, and he would not go to bed until Ramadan was over. And the Muslim also narrated from her that she said that when the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered the tenth, meaning the last ten days of Ramadan, he would live the night and wake his family, find and tighten the loincloth. And qiyaam al-layl is an expression of praying during it. This is what is known from qiyaam al-layl in accordance with the legal custom. People are in conversing with the truth about it in two parts. Some of them are speaking to him with the name holding, and it is also from the veil of the name Ramadan, and among them are those who are speaking to him with the name Al-Fatir, which is also from his veil, and people differ in their circumstances. [ The crowding of the merciful and the crowding of the universes ]If the Most Merciful had not crowded out my works *** I would not have crowded him to form my brothers He says, Be and the occurrence of the universe is not for us *** and there is no second for him in the existence of the universe. He says deaf, so if we fast he says to us *** This fasting is for us, so where do I help me? If you said to me, I did not address you with what is mine *** I have witnesses to the assignment that hurt me You listened to me and then after hearing you robbed me *** Fasting is for me and for you in the law there are two parts If you deprive me of it, then it is your business *** in fasting what is in the investigation of my business [ The Name Al-Fatir is stronger in judgment during the night of the month of Ramadan ]And the Creator s name on this during the night of the month of Ramadan is stronger in judgment in us than the one who holds fast, so whoever is in the state of holding him, his Lord feeds him and gives him water in his abode in the event that he is neither eating nor drinking, apparently, then he is not fasting, and if he is fasting and I have tasted this and from here I learned that His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, I am not like you, I am staying overnight, my Lord feeds me and gives me water He denied that the group that he addressed them resembled, and they did not have this condition, because if he wanted the whole nation, I would not have tasted it, and I found it in taste, praise be to God. If he does not have this characteristic at once, it is witnessed by a taste in himself and its effect appears on him in his wakefulness, and God loves truthfulness in his homeland as he loves lying in his homeland, and this is not the homeland of the love of lying, for God hates him in this homeland. ( In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful ) [ The monologue of the truth arrived in the time of the special divine condition ]If God calls the servant in this special time of the special divine condition, then he must attend with him the complete presence that does not turn with him to others with his assembly, so he calls him in every movement of him and stillness of sense in that he is the inner and meaning in that he is the outward if the sense is outward and the meaning is inward, so he does not stand The meaning is only between the hands of the apparent, for if it were to exist between the hands of the batin, and the meaning is the batin of the letter, which is the sensible and the senses, the existence of the thing would be in front of itself and the thing would not exist in front of itself because it was established to benefit and the thing does not benefit from itself itself. [ The revelation of the truth for education and definition, which is the science of experience ]Do you not see the revelation of the truth to teach and make known to us, and He is All-Knowing of everything about what was and will be, and with this he informed us of the truth that we do not return to teach us what the matter is upon Him, and that the ruling is for the conditions. He is the Knower of what is among them, but the situation prevents him from establishing an argument for Him, Glory be to Him, over us. In the words of the Most High, All-Knowing, All-Knowing, so this is a divine scent in the use of something from others and not from himself. [ Atiyyah the Manifest Name and Attia the Subconscious Name ]That is why we made the outward appearance of the servant communicating with the inward name, and the inner servant communicating with the apparent name, and in front of him there is the rise of a beneficiary and he gives him whatever he wills to give him. Benefit from sciences and wisdom about which the minds are confused, or reject them, or accept them in terms of what he perceives with the power of thought, that is all given by the inner name. God is all deceitful |
