His actions are not governed by the principle of cause and reason nor are they subject to any purpose or motive because He does not need anything whatsoever in the form of any benefit for Himself.
He does not need any instruments or tool to perform His actions. He is needless of any body or organs such as brain for thinking, eyes for seeing, and ears for hearing. He hears everything which is spoken in the lowest possible voice, He is competent to see and feel extremely microscopic things without any visual aid. His presence is free from the body or material existence.
He is Near (Nearest that the Dorsal Aorta) by means of his superb Omnipotence and supreme Knowledge and exalted Mercy. This nearness is not subject to measurement of distance.
He is King (The King of Kings of what is there in the skies and the earth and what is between them, rather the entire Universe). He does not need any helper for the performance of His deeds. He is the Absolute Ruler, Master of everything. He is competent to do whatever He likes or intends.
He does not need the services of any adviser. He is all Powerful and Owner of all countries and their governments He is not accountable or answerable to anybody in respect of His actions, possessions, ownership, government etc. His rule is absolute and everlasting.
Life and Word, Hearing and Sight, Determination and Power and also knowledge are the personal characteristics of Allah. In addition to this “Causing to be” and Creation and Providence are attributes of Allah (such as giving death, enriching, making poor, fashioning the Universe and developing every thing gradually, step by step upto its final stage of completion in accordance with the laws of Nature and providing them according to their state food and providence or needs of livelihood are Allah’s attributes). There are attributes which are concerned with creatures and these are called additional attributes or attributes of performances. These attributes have to be considered as subsidiary to the “Cause to be” and Creation and the negative characteristics which “can not be” and “can never be”, for example, He is not ignorant, He is not humble, powerless and incompetent. He is not united with any thing like ice which can become one with water when it melts. In short, in His personal attributes, additional attributes and for the absence of Negative attributes, He is Unique from the very Beginning to Eternity.
As His ancient Person or self is existing from the very Beginning and shall exist for ever, likewise His attributes are also ancient, ever existing and eternal. Every thing save His Person and His attributes, is incidental and mortal, for it was not existing in the Beginning. Everything except Him is brought into existence by Him. Therefore Beware! That anybody who claims that the attributes of Allah are creation or incidents is in fact gone astray-strayed to the maximum extent (to be called infidel).
His person and His attributes are free from all defects and shortcomings firstly as well as lastly.
When He is the Collection of all the exalted attributes and He is the Most Skilled in all sciences and best qualities then it is absolutely impossible that any defect, fault or imperfection may exist in Him. Even unskilled and harmless things may not exist in His Person. He is free from any example of His kind or any opposite, or image or resemblance, or like state (condition) or magnitude. His self is free from the limitation of Time (He is Omnipresent, and Omnipotent).
When it is the Fundamental faith that the Person of Allah is Ancient, existing from the very Beginning and Eternal then all His attributes are likewise existing from the Beginning to Eternity and it has to be believed that His self is free from all incidents or locations in which movement from one place to the other is involved. Further His attributes should be regarded to be invariable and free from any change or alteration. It is impossible that His characteristics in anyway be resembled into the characteristics of His creations. So believe firmly that His Person is free from all incidents and needs which are essential for the human beings (or any other creatures). He does not have a father nor He is possessor of son. He is not of the same kind or of same species of any other existence. He is not congenial or fellow-creature of anyone. He is Ancient and Self-Existing, not born like the creatures. He is Matchless and None can be compared with Him. None is His equal or alike. He is free from any example, likeness and Image. He is celebrated due to His quality of being a Preserver and on account of His Divinity. His exalted-self is free from any comparison with other persons. Similarly, His attributes are free comparison with the qualities of others. His every skill is supreme and His every attribute is superb. Any creature irrespective of its highest position can not be a partner in anyway to His authority of Person.
It is obligatory on every Muslim that he should believe that “There is no deity except Allah and that He is One, Needless and there is no partner unto Him.” This is true in respect of His Person as well as His attributes. Nothing is like Him or of His species (either His good names or in His commandments, or His actions). Is there any other name for Him or He accepts assistance of anyone in His work or anybody else beside Him is the Creator? Absolutely not. None is His partner in His kingdom/sovereignty.
As His Person is not resembled in any other persons, His attributes are also not resembled in any of His Creatures.
In some cases when the names A’alim (Knower Hakeem (Wise) Haleem (Clement) Kareem (Kind) Sami (Listener) and Baseer (Seer) are used in respect of some other persons then these are worldly coincidences and it is not the defacto partnership in the attributes of Allah. There is no resemblance between their actual meanings. For example the knowledge and authority of Holy People may just have a worldly resemblance with the knowledge and authority of (Divine Power) of Allah but it does not mean that there is any kind of partnership in His knowledge or Power and of the said Holy People. His mysterious Privacy has no approach whatsoever. No bird can flap its wing or enter its abode without His knowledge or power He is possessor of all greatness and Pride. He is the possessor of the most supreme exalted status and honour among all existences inclusive of the class of angels, Jinns, human beings, and any other creatures. None is free from His supplication All are needy of His grace and bounty and in their expression and discourse they are affirmers of their humble and low status and are in fact beggars in His presence for their wants and needs. They stretch their needy hands begging His bounty and grace. All the creatures on the earth and the skies beg for their needs and desires from His Merciful Presence. All the existing things in fact owe their existence to Him because everything on the earth or on the skies or whatever is between them is mortal and He and He alone is Everlasting and Eternal.
His existence is singular as Hai (Alive) and Qayyum (Self-Subsisting). He is singular in His Presence in the capacity of Hai (Alive) and Qayyum (Self-Subsisting) being Azli (Existing since the very Beginning) and being Abadi (Eternal). All other existences are credences and reliances. In case we believe in them then only we can claim to exist otherwise not. All the existing particles and atoms have a kind of unknown relation or attribute. Accordingly We become aware of the selves/persons such as “I” “We” “He”, “She” “It” and “They” and comprehend the concepts of “is existing” “was existing” etc. If we annul the unknown relation between all Existing things and Allah as aforesaid then the statement saying “is existing” becomes “Is not existing”, similarly, “was existing” will mean “was not existing”. Thus the existence of all will be logically converted into non-existence. It is just an image or reflection of the rays of His luminous Existence that every particle of this Universe conspicuously displays its splendour manifestly before our sights, and every particle of this world thus presents before us the luster of His Omnipotence and complete authority.
If we ignore the above said unknown relation between all the particles of this Universe and His real and Holy Existence even for a while then all the Universe will seem to be a dismal and distressed dream, exists, or a desolate waste or unpopulated land wherein nothing exists. So in the context of existences there is only One Existence that is of His True Person and the rest of the things are existing as an image of His Divine Existence. In the order of Universe He is the Luminous sun and all the worlds are His mirrors. If this bountiful relation is abandoned, then all the Universe will be confronted with total and instantaneous ruin. In fact many images of His Divine light have assumed different names. The Person of Allah is Real One. There can be no change or variance in His Divine Person. However according to the number of appearances His different forms have many many names and they have countless effects. The light of His Unity has unlimited brilliance and splendour and in front of this brilliance both the eyes of the body and the eye of wisdom are blind and in addition to it this can not be explained in words or perceived by human wisdom.
He is not such a singular or Unique existence which has been constituted by adding components thereby forming a single object, or He is not a Unique thing which can be resulted into its components or parts like the man or any single being which in made up of flesh, skin, blood and bones or any other organs and regarded to be a unique compounded thing which can be resolved into components of which it is made or constituted. This is the speciality of every being but the Person of Allah is free from any body or body components.
His Divine person is neither descended in any other body nor any other person is transmigrated in Him or attached to Him. Otherwise (Let Allah Forbid it) He would have come down from the peak of Oneness to the lower status of duality or partnership. It is He; none is existing except Him. “He is Subhan (Hollowed) and Exalted from what they associate (unto Him).” This bountiful verse repudiates the association to His Divinity and elucidates that none is partner in his Divinity, God-head and Providence. “It is He Who is deity in the sky and deity in the earth”. Thus He is Allah of the dwellers of the heaven and the residents of the earth. Leave apart partnership in the God-head and Providence, none can claim a share into His skillful attributes, “None is like Him”. This verse also denies any association with His Existence. Thus His Person is free and His attributes are free from any kind of association. He is exempted from all those non-sense things which the polytheists and ignorants attribute unto Him. The Truth lies in the fact that He deserves His existence and all others are His shadows and images. From the term “Unique Existence” the possible meaning and explanation which can be conceived by us is that, His Existence is One and His Presence is also One and all other existing things are His spectacles and mirrors of His Existence and that they do not possess any original existence of their own. Beware! And again Beware! That I, and thou, We and you, this and that, can never be Allah. This is in fact a false belief of the “Ahlelttehad” (Family of Union) which is a sect of infidels. The first doctrine of Our religion is Towheed “Oneness of Allah” or “Unitarianism” which is believed by all the followers of Islam and the Owners of the True Faith.
Paying due regard to the benefits availed (from the image of His Divine Existence) by the Owners of Paradise they are bestowed upon a special share out of His skillful attributes. The doors of prosperity and welfare are also opened for them in this world and also in Hereafter. They are given the special knowledge and bounty. He taught us what we could not learn in schools and Darul-uloom (Educational Institutions) “He taught the human being what he did not know”. “And it was the great favour of Allah on you”. Allah rewarded man with various kinds of favours and adored him with innumerable graces and bounties. He ornamented and fashioned the heart and spirit body and soul, the outer self and the Inner self of man with good moral qualities and attributes. He purified humans from vices and sinful conducts. Thus He guided mankind to follow the path which leads to a position near to His Presence. All these things were the propitiatory offerings or sacrifices for the welfare of the people on behalf of a most auspicious and blessed person. Allah has selected him as His most special beloved and bestowed upon him the supreme amiability. The pleasure and approval of Allah is sought by all the creatures and even by His prophets and His messengers and also by His close angels. Allah has made him the centre of the cause of creation saying “be done” (command of Allah for creating anything) He is adorned him and dressed him with high ranking robes of honour so that all the members of the Universe are bound to rest under his shade of Protection by seizing his bountiful skirt. All intimate favourities of Allah until they establish a conjunction with this holy source and make him their mediator and supporter in the Presence of Allah they can not have an approach unto Him.
Allah has kept the keys of all the treasures of knowledge and authority, counseling and disposal in his holy hand. He made all the dignified persons like pieces of moon or bright stars among all other people so that the dignified persons receive divine light from him and fill the skirts of their garments with the light of discernment and cognizance. They should not dare to utter words of ego or of personal prestige in his presence because Allah has bestowed on his person such reverences and honour and has elevated his eminence to such a height that even the height of the thousands of Divine thrones have became lower to him. The greatness of other people grew extinct before him and has in fact disappeared in the infinite vastness as a shilling which is thrown in the endless wilderness is lost. Allah rewarded him with such a vast and abundant knowledge that the proven and the latest sciences have proved to be the droplets of such canals which are taken out of the ocean of his personal knowledge. Allah showed him all the Earth from East to West, and the Universe from the throne down to the land Surface.
Allah has made him a witness of the angels of skies and the earth and also a seer of details from the first day until the last day; as to what was existing therein and what would exist in them in future. He provided all information to him both visible and invisible consisting the detail starting from the very Beginning of the Universe upto Eternity (Except what He will) only Allah knows as to how much infinite and endless knowledge He gave to him. This knowledge knows no bounds and has no limits. Only Allah and His beloved know the full details about the vastness of such delegated knowledge. Allah gave His beloved such supreme power of sight that it encompassed all the six directions (say, front and back, right and left, and up and down). All the events of Universe seemed to be happening in his presence instantaneously from the beginning of Universe upto the Day of Resurrection as if he watched them in his palm. He watched all the future events of the world which would occur till the last day. As a token of the authority of Allah and one evidence of the dignity and honour of His prophet this gift of abundant knowledge should be deemed to be abnormal or excessive. The hearing faculty of His beloved was so powerful that he could hear clearly any sound produced at a distance of five hundred years walk (of hundreds of light years). So far as his authority is concerned, it will not be exaggeration to tell that it happened to be pattern or mirror of His divine authority. The orders of His beloved are complied with in both the Upper and the Lower worlds. Allah pays regard to his opinion while operating His absolute rule of creative authority. If he utters “Qum” (stand up) then by the Will of Allah dead become alive, If he points at the moon it splits into two, what he wills the same is the will of Allah and Allah’s will is his will.
The mandate of absolute caliphate and its command has been read in his name and his coin was minted and his sermon has been promulgated throughout the Lower world soaring up to the Upper world. Thus he is the absolute deputy and Caliph of Allah and all the world is under his command and disposal. He is competent to do as per his will and pleasure to give anything to any body or to fetch back any thing from any one. None can avert his command and how can one dare to do so when his command is as good as the command of Allah? All the world is under his rule and he is the master of the people. One who does not regard him as his master he is deprived from the relish of his sunnat, tradition of Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho Alaihe Wasallam). The angels of the skies and the earth are under his control. All the land is his property and all the paradise is his estate. Whatever is given to anybody in the world and hereafter is given to him right from the throne of his ambiguous court. The keys of paradise and Hell are given to him. The provision and welfare and all other rewards are distributed through the media of his court. The world and the Hereafter constitute parts of his gifts and rewards. So besides all the gifts of Allah all the bounties of the world and Hereafter of body and soul, big or small are rewarded through his rewarding agency by virtue of his generosity, his mediation and his medium. What Allah rewards is in fact given by his hand and it shall continue to be given like that for ever till eternity. Through his sacred hand are bestowed on us all the favour of religion and millat (belief/faith), Islam and his tradition, counsel and worship, abstinence and cleanliness, knowledge and cognizance. In short all the worldly bounties are received through him. In the same manner all wealth and fortune, cure and health, honour and elevation, offsprings, and luxuries and all other worldly bounties are given through the agency of his sacred hands.
So said A’ala Hazrat Raza,
He is the absolute ruler and all except Allah are his subjects and except him there is no other rule in the world. His orders are promulgated to be complied with by the angels of the skies and the earth and the creatures of Allah are bound to follow and obey him. He is of Allah and whatever belongs to Allah is his belonging.“Without his medium Allah’s bounty of any kind
Impossible absolutely, wishful thought of blind”.
All heads are therefore bowed before him and all needy hands are stretched in front of him. All are needy of him and he in his turn is needy of Allah. He is the right heir of the Divine court and all the world is provided livelihood through his agency. The Holy Quran is a scripture of praise and applause for him and at every place his name is mentioned along with the name of Allah.I shall call you master, you’re sweet heart of Master For
there’s no “mine and yours” between beloved and lover.
All the laws of religion, and the commands and prohibitions are within his competence and all of them are entrusted to him. So he is capable to issue any orders according to his sweet will and pleasure and his commands are laws of religion so he can declare anything lawful for anybody and pronounce anything unlawful for anyone whom he wills. He can even exempt anybody from any religious obligation or duty. In fact he is the embodiment of the religious laws. In short he is incharge and absolute authority of the Divine Organization of Allah and all the rulers/monarchs of the world are beggars and needy in his presence. And do you know Who is he?For thee We’ve elevated thy remembrance
Made thy mention superb and high thy reference.
Infact the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho Alaihe Wasallam) could not fully offer thanks for all the bounties and favours bestowed upon him by Allah, because every act of thanks is rewarded by another favour and this becomes an infinite series of thanks giving and grant of bounties. The bounties and favours of Allah on the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho Alaihe Wasallam) are innumerable and not at all countable. Allah said: “O’ Prophet no doubt every coming moment for you will be better from the past moment and thus hour by hour your rank and prosperity shall be elevated”.
The Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho Alaihe Wasallam) acquired the rank of “Qaaba Qausain” (Two cubits length from Allah even less than that). It is such a destination which could not be reached by anybody so far nor it can be reached in future. The Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho Alaihe Wasallam) said: “on the night of Ascension my Rab (Raiser) dragged me so near that a two cubits or less than two cubits distance remained between us”.
It was just a distance for the name’s sake.
He saw His Person with human eye and heard Him without medium, fully awoke and from very near. None of the prophets or the near angels could ever reach so near to Him. The litter of Laila (beloved) covering billions of destinations which can not be perceived and which were beyond comprehension witnessed the new sceneries and novel colours. Sense of understanding was lost in the vastness and power of sight was narrowed. In nearness he felt remoteness and in farness he sensed proximity and the feeling of separation seemed to be relish of Union or Conjunction. It was a destination where wisdom and conscience had attained their summit and could not understand anything further. No guessing and imagination work could bear fruit and they were afraid to be led astray.“Oh false points of possibility, confused in First and Last!
Ask where it came from and rushed away so fast?”
“There was neither the trance of “when and where”, or a mark of “here and there”. “There were in fact no stages milestones, no way-farer’s company to share”.
The secret which was concealed by Allah then, how could it be understood and how could one dare to go ahead to ponder on it. It was, as if a pearl floating, covered under a shell which was unaware of the moisture. O ye ignorant people, leave its knowledge to its Possessor and pass through this difficult plain with safety for the horse eloquency is caught by reins to narrate the heights attained by the Holy Prophet (Sall Allaho Alaihe Wasallam) and to explain about his rank and proximity with Him. However it can be mentioned that he is boss of all creatures and a bondman of Creator, His worship is infidelity, but worship of Allah without paying respect to him is incredulous and worthless. Faith is the name of his love and Paying tributes to his greatness and the act of paying respect to him is preferable to every obligation after faith. And a Muslim is he, whose duty is to mention without fail his name always with the name of Allah.
