39. ABD ALLAH AL-FAIZ AD-DAGHESTANI 3 * 437, His States and Discourses after His Second Seclusion At thirty years of age, Shaykh Abd Allah was ordered to enter a second long seclusion for five years. During that seclusion, many visions and states were granted to him which are impossible to describe within the scope of this book. After he completed this second seclusion, the power of his spiritual attraction increased. He became so renowned that even during his shaykh’s lifetime, people came from everywhere to learn from him. FIVE STATIONS OF THE HEART 1 do not speak to you about any station, manifestation, or rank without my having already entered that station or position and experienced that manifestation. I am not like many others. I do not speak separating my sight from my heart, enumerating the stations for you without my knowing their Reality. No! First of all 1 followed that path and saw what it was. I learned those realities and secrets which may be found along it. I worked my way along it until I obtained the knowledge of certainty, the eye of certainty, and the truth of certainty. Only then do I speak to you, giving you a tiny taste of what I have tasted until I am able to make you reach that station without tiring you and without difficulties. gal, sirr, sirr as-sirr, khafa, and akhfa, Qalb is the heart, sirr is the secret, sirr as-sirr is the secret of the secret, ia the len, and me the most hidden. The secret of thi: Latifat al-qalb, the stage of the heart, is under the authority of Adam wai, because it represents the physical aspect of the heart. Latifat as- sirr, the station of the secret, is under Noah #8, because it is the vessel which is saved from the ocean of darkness, from the flood of ignorance. Latifat sirr as-sirr, the station of the secret of the secret, is under two prophets: Abraham %8 and Moses %8, who represent God’s Divine Presence on earth. God made Abraham #2 the symbol 458_¢ HISTORY OF THE SAINTS OF THE GOLDEN CHAIN of all His caliphs on this earth, as mentioned in the verse of the creation of mankind (2:30).'" Moses % was blessed with hearing, and speaking to God which are the two essential attributes of knowledge. Latifat al-khafa, the hidden station, is under Jesus 8 because of his relationship with hidden knowledge. He represents spiritual understanding. Latifat al-akhfa, the most hidden station, is under the Reality of Muhammad 4%, because he was granted a station high above that of all other prophets and messengers. He was the one who was raised up on the Night of Ascension to the Divine Presence. This is represented by the sacred phrase of the testimony of faith in which, “There is no God but God” is joined with “Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” The lights of these stations have been shown to me. The light of the heart is a yellow hue. The light of the secret is red. The light of the secret of the secret is white. The light of the hidden station is green. The light of the most hidden station is black. NINE POINTS person and they represent nine different hidden states in every human being. Every state is connected to a saint, who has the authority to control that point. If the seeker in the Naqshbandi Way is able to unveil and to make spiritual contact with the authorized master controlling theses points, he may be given knowledge of, and power to use, these Nine Points. "°" Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: “1 will create a vicegerent on earth.” They said: “Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? —whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and -slorify Thy holy (name)?* He said: “I knato what ye know not.” 436 * HISTORY OF THE SAINTS OF THE GOLDEN CHAIN roses are your disciples, each with his own color and perfume. You directed me to one particular red rose and said, “That one is yours. Go smell it.” As I did, I saw the rose open and I disappeared within it and became the rose. I entered its roots, and they led me to your presence. I found myself entering into your heart and becoming a part of you. Through your spiritual power I was able to ascend to the knowledge of the power of the Nine Points. Then a voice, addressing me as Abd an-Nur, said, “This light and knowledge have been granted to you from the Divine Presence of God to bring peace to your heart. However, you must not use the power of this knowledge.” The voice bid me farewell with the salutation of peace and the vision ended as you were finishing the recitation from the Quran. Shaykh Abd Allah replied: Surah YaSin was called “the Heart of the Quran” by the Holy Prophet and the knowledge of these Nine Points was opened to you through it. The vision was by the blessings of the verse, “Peace! A Word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful.” (36:58) Each of the Nine Points is represented by one of nine saints who are at the highest level in the Divine Presence. They are the keys to untold powers within the human being, but there is no permission to use these keys. This is a secret that, in general, will not be opened until the Last Days when the Mahdi #1 appears and Jesus 8 returns. This meeting of ours has been blessed. Keep it as a secret in your heart and do not speak of it in this life. Abd an-Nur, for that is your name with us, you are free to stay or go as your responsibilities allow. You are always welcome with us. You have attained safety in the Divine Presence. May God bless you and strengthen you in your work. 39. ABD ALLAH AL-FAIZ AD-DAGHESTANIG * 439 The conditions related to opening these Nine Points can only be alluded to obliquely. The first station involves the power of imprisoning the ego. ‘The key to the second state is dhikr with “Ia ilaha ill-Allah.” The third state consists in witnessing the engraving of God’s Name on the heart (nagsh), The fourth state relates to the meaning of that engraving on the heart. The fifth state is to imprint the engraving with your dhikr. In the sixth state, the heart is made to stop pumping at will and to start pumping at will. The seventh state is to be aware of the number of times one stops the heart from pumping and the number of times one restores the pumping of the heart. In the eighth, state one mentions the phrase “Muhammadun Rasul Allah” % in every cessation of the heart and every restoration of its pumping. ‘The ninth stage is to return to your cave, as God mentioned in Surat al-Kahf, “When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than God, betake yourself to the Cave. Your Lord will shower His mercies on you...” (18:16) The Cave is the Divine Presence. Here one utters the cherished prayer of the Prophet 8, “O God, You are my destination and Your Pleasure is what I seek.” The heart, as it cycles between the cessation and restoration of its pumping, is existing at the level of the Essence of the Divine Presence. Because that Divine Essence is the source of all created being, that heart will be at one with even the most minute creation in this universe. The heart which has reached the secrets of the Nine Points will be able to see everything, hear everything, know everything, taste everything, sense everything, “until He will be the ears with which he hears, the eyes with which he sees, the tongue with which he speaks, the hand with which he
