Science - "Imitations of Reality" and the Hidden World - "Spiritual Nature of Creation."

........................................ This is what Saints do, they break their form,
............................................................ return to their origin.
...................................... And that is why they make Dhikr - Allah by chanting,
.......................................... " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ",
........................" Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ", " Allah ",
.................................................. " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ",
................................ " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu ", " Hu "
......................................................... is the dhikr of meditation.

Saints say that a human being has in each day 24,000 breaths – in and out. In every in-and-out breath, there is an action, whether good or bad.

That is why when we … breathe in and breathe out … breathe in with “ Allah, “ breathe out with “ Hu.” [a Divine name referring to the absolute unknown Essence of God.] Take in good action and cleanse yourself with that breathe.

Breathe in God’s Attributes and Name meditating on the name of “Allah “ (swt). If that Name goes through your system, He is taking you into a unknown area, an area full of treasures that you do not know anything about. That is why you breathe out with “ Hu “.

Therefore, meditate on the name “Allah “ because God introduces His complete unknown Self through His Beautiful Name “Allah “. When you do good actions, you do not know how much God is going to raise you. That is why it goes with “ Hu “, also.

Every breathe in is an act, and every breathe out is an act. Whether you breathe in or breathe out you expend effort, energy. So, you are doing 24,000 acts everyday. Then you must think, whether these acts are like dead trees that have to be cut and thrown into fire, or like living things that must be put into the eternal area of Heaven.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Hidden World has clouds and rain of a different kind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Made apparent only to the refined,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Those not deceived by the seeming completeness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ of the ordinary world. ~~ by Rumi. ~~



There are two kinds of energy. One is constructive, healing energy, and the other is a destructive energy. One heals and the other destroys. " One side of him struggles for God and the after life, while the other side of his struggles for worldly desires and Satan. "

The earth is related to desires and anything related to the desires of this world destroys. That is why nuclear explosions on the sun heal, while nuclear explosions on earth destroy and kill people. That destruction is from its relation to this world.

It is the same in a human being. One side of him struggles for Paradise and God, while the other side of him is struggling for worldly desiers and Satan. One side wants to approach to the Divine Presence by means of remembrance of God (Dhikr-Allah).

But, as soon as we leave from a meeting of worship, we forget the love of God, the love of Prophet(s), and we get busy with our worldly desires and desires of Satan. There are differences between the two sides, but these sides are in a single person.

There is no begining, no end, only in Heavens. But not in dunya. God gave us signs from which we can learn. Everything that is related to this worldly life has a begining and an end. As anything is related to after-life, we will be ever living, when God sends us to Heavens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ " Verily everything is praising Allah, but you cannot understand their praise." [17:44]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ God said, " We created from water everything that is alive." [21:30]



This includes even the stones in which we do not see life - actually they are alive. All prophets used to hear the praising of God from stones that we consider non-living. The Prophet (s) used to hear them. And God gave the example of stones or mountains because we think of them mainly as non-living --- God wants to tell us, " No, they are living."

It is clear to us that trees are living , water is running, animals are living, human beings are living, so what is not living? We would think mountains and stones. And God is saying, " No, they are living also." Because they came from Water.

Water- Hydrogen is a gas (one - in periodic table) ' H ' -- ' Ha ' (in Arabic), and Oxygen is a gas eight
- in periodic table) ' O ' -- ' Waw ' (in Arabic).

But when they come together (contact under a certain pressure), they create a form, a liquid produce water. That is why they say that when God created creation it was in a gaseous form which firmed into water, then from water everything came living thing.

If we put the letters 'Ha' and 'Waw' together, we get " Hu " the Divine Name from which living species come. " Hu Allah." And that is why in the Naqshbandi chanting (dhikr), like in that of all Sufi orders, after we say, " There is no God, but God (Laa ilaaha illa -Allah)," telling our ego that there is no Creator except God.

As soon as we enter that ocean and except it completely and God dresses us with that manifestation, then He lets us enter into the chanting of the Name "Allah".

When we begin with " Laa ilaaha illa-Allah," it is like an ablution before prayer. When we take ablution for prayers, we are cleaning ourselves from all wordly attachmentsvand coming to the Presence of God to pray.

By the chanting of " Laa ilaaha illa-Allah," we are making a kind of ablution for ourselves by disconnecting from the world confirming and affirming that God is the Creator and the One we worship. By this way He allows us to enter His Divine Presence, where we begin Dhikr-Allah by saying, " Allah, Allah, Allah."
