The Heretic Speaks!

Ten years in the past, in an Egyptian-Muslim forum for Muslim Brotherhood, I was delightfully barred entrance thanks to a Salafi who still believed that showing an avatar with one eye depicted myself as Dajjal.

The fact that I was appointed moderator by the Forum owner for the Sisterhood was of no concerned to the one who accused me of being other than a believer. The Forum owner according to him was pleased that the forum membership increased manyfolds. Today, for the sake of the One, Alone and the encapsulated Universe, I lift a part of the veil of comprehension. Call me heretic or Dajjal for all I care, for the One, Alone Knows Hu places Whom for whom. There is no reason that you O mankind should know Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta`Ala because you are horn on earth; it is only the ‘birth’ of your soul that makes you entitled to that knowledge!!

At the edge of wonderment, and awe between breaths of Dzkr {circumbulation}, lies a void greater than anything perceived and non-perceived in the lower reality – travelling on that bridge takes a skill perfected, refined, and humbled. No one can cross the bridge knowing his fate if he believes it is in his hands unless he embraces the totality of the encapsulated multiverses within the limitless Universe where he loses himself, for all eternity. The feared abyss is akin to a non-life, non-place, non-light yet in itself is power beyond compare. It is undefined, incomprehensible, and even Alice {in Wonderland} wouldn’t thread there. To reach, one needs the faith of a madman, a mouth of a heretic, and the skills of an adroit fencer. Blunt as it may seem for minds worried about the fate of the world least the fate of their rice bowls, walking on the edge of wonderment and awe opens the Doors of Knowledge, the Niche of {all} Lights {Mishkat AlAnwaar }.

What pleasure is there in a useless action? What interest is there in a senseless speech? What joy is there in a depthless thought? What happiness is there in a loveless feeling?

When men talk of the hereafter, perception in minds, rely accordingly in the teaching of the respective faiths, of Heaven, or Hell. There is not a place within the Universe that is not created. Everything even to the fine skin covering the date pit, or the perceived ‘creation’ is an imprint of the Universe. Every form is an image. Every image is a name. Every name is an attribute, every attribute a verb. Every verb forms the sentence to be read on Judgement Day, from the very Qur’aanulQariim that is found within the breastplate of all that is ‘created’ in the form of humankind. Every object be it animated or non-animated is an image!! You who call yourself Muslim who desires to live a life void of ‘imageries’ should be comfortable with the fact that your form in itself is an image, a verb, an attribute, a name. To attain to the Truth in all fairness of the One, Alone takes an eternity in the lesser reality you embrace as Earth!! Go beyond all forms of imageries and seek solace in the comforts of بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم { BismillaahiRohmaaniRohiim }, if at all you comprehend the nature of the ‘Ba’ in all its splendour !!

The worlds in its wonderment, with the finer trinkets placed therein as how one would decorate a home, is a just reminder to the one who seeks solace and contemplative communication with the One, Alone. How can one reach the state if one rejects every single reflective from the Mirror of Life ? Until one can acknowledge the fact that both Heaven and Hell, are created beings, one will never be able to even reach the Doors of the One, Alone.

You who call yourself Muslim who profess the أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله {Shahada}, and who bear witness to none other than Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta`Ala every other minute or two, do you not perceive the command of لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله {Laa hawla walaa Quwwata ilaa billaa hi’l`Aaliiyyi’l`Aadhim} ?

You who call yourself Muslim ! How can you reach the pleasure of the One, Alone, when you do not even recognize the Asma’ulHusna beyond the ninety-nine in this reality you fervently and ardently hold-on to? You who scorn at those you perceive to be none other than believers, how can you reach the Redha {pleasure} of Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta`Ala, when He places the one in front of you and you reject him blindly not perceiving beyond the form, the asma, and the fa’il. You who call yourself Muslim how can you attain to greatness with the knowledge of the Universe, aliken in the era of Avicenna, Ibn Arabii, Hassan Al Basri or even Mansur Hallaj when what you perceive commendable and just in your realization, are the actions of backbiting, slandering, and making a mockery of Islaam AdDeen?

You who call yourself Muslim, how can you attain to the Light, when you content yourself with your self, and then bluntly proclaim لا إله إلا الله‎! Do you sincerely believe that the one who lives within the Heart of the Universe is ignorant of your blantant blasphemies ? Do you think that eyes around you perceive not the true reality of what you are?

Do you honestly believe that the foundation of the Heavens will allow you to even touch it when you perform the sajada at ArRawdah, hoping for this and that, herein herenow, and herein thereafter ? Do you honestly believe that ‘you’ exist when you utter لا إله إلا الله‎ ? Do you in all fairness of all things ‘created’ believe that what you ‘own’ in this reality belongs to you and you alone, when in all fairness and in the reality of existence, your soul belongs to none other than Allaah Tabaraka wa Ta`Ala ?

You who call yourself Muslim! How can you attain to the Truth {Haqiqah} when your mouth speaks nothing of it ! Speak about only what you witness !! lest you be enshrined in a Temple of self-worship and be deemed to be atoned like Iblis Laknatullaah!
