3 Lights of Creation

http://www.nurmuhammad.com/NaqshbandiSecrets/3lightsofcreation.htm

Rajabun Shahrullah, Shaban shahr an-Nabi and Ramadan opening shahr al-
ummah.

The Secret of the three Recitations of Surah Ya-Seen [36] and Allah
granting us the secret of life, wa laqad karamna bani Adam (as).

The Divine heart wants to be known. The favor of Rajab is to be free
from intercession of anything in creation. That is, no creation has
yet manifested in the ocean of creation. No angel and no creation will
bring that reward to us. That is from the secret of the Divine heart
that is moving in Rajab and from the creation of that light which is
moving in Rajab. We recite the first Surah Ya-Seen for the reality of
that heart and recite the first of three Surat al-Ikhlas, which is
from that divine heart. This is the inclination of the Divine to
create creation.

Once that will is begun the divine act of the manifestation of
creation occurs.

Next Ya-Seen is for shahr Shaban.
Rajab is the light of La ilaha ila-Allah
& Muhammadan RasulAllah is for Shaban.

He is ash-Shafi.

The secret of Shaban is related to the secret of Prophet [s]. If not
for Muhammadan RasulAllah that ocean would not have manifested. The
second Ikhlas in our awrad is related to that Creation of The Unique
Light of Existence or Ahadiyya [Uniqueness]. That light is the
originating source of all light and is unique because it comes from
the Divine Presence. Any other color on that spectrum of light is from
it.

The Samadiyya [Self Sustaining] is the light directly from the Divine
Presence. You cannot feed it nor give it sustenance and therefore it
is being received directly from the Divine Presence.

The light of Shaban is manifesting from the light of the Prophet [s].

When you write the Kalima, the importance of nisf Shaban is the mid
point which is called the "qaaba qawsayni aw adna". Two Bow lengths or
nearer. The point where the two points intersect is the spiritual new
year and that is where our light is coming into existence. Whatever is
dressed upon that light is coming onto that point and is dressed at
that specific point of time. Only Allah bestows or dresses that light
and it is the originating source of your light. At that point He
decides what sustenance your soul will receive for that year.

By the month of Ramadan that light is born. It is the ninth lunar
month.

The importance of nine and the manifestation appears in that month.
Ramadan is the month in which our light is born. Like the Gestation of
a Child in the Womb [Rhem] That manifestation from the light of
Prophet [s] is born and its sustenance is decreed and given existence.


The 3 hearts:

    * 1 - Divine Heart that no one can reach and is the originating
source of fire, love and intuition. It is the originating spark and
that divine heart is found only in the heat of the second heart.

    * 2 -The Heart of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). The quloob al-
Muhammadiyya and the heart of creation. This is the Container of all
power in this known universe

Wa laqad karamna bani Adam (as).

The reason we study the heart is not for the cosmos but is based on
the heart is the presence of The Divine.

    * 3 – Adam’s (as) Heart. You are the only creation given that
heart as it is a reflection of the Prophetic heart and only through
this heart can you reach to  Allah’s gift. Open that heart, go forward
into it and reflect. That is the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). You
do not point to any direction or focus on anything except that one
heart. You point your telescope towards that direction so that your
Kabah is your heart. When you are coming for this purpose and freeing
Mecca by destroying the 360 idols, you are now copying the Prophet’s
marifah and He will take you to Divine Presence.

The Holy Prophet’s example for us:

  1. Live in Mecca, i.e.. "Your Hearts Desires"
  2. Must leave Mecca, i.e.. "Your Hearts Desires"
  3. Move Towards Medina Al Munawira " City of LIGHTS"
  4. Major Battles to Save you from Hellfire and then you may return
to Mecca
  5. Mecca "The Heart is now filled with Divine Love" and you destroy
the idols. You make your heart and body a Masjid, or place of worship.
It is completely pure and purified for your Lord and free from filth
and idols.

You have 360 idols, one on each point of your body. Each point of the
360 Lataifs/ Chakras has an evilness sitting there, guarding and
preventing it from submitting to the Divine Presence. Through the
focus on the Shaykh and with the meditation and spiritual practices it
becomes much easier to follow the Holy Prophet’s example.

Then the three last big idols must be removed.  These are the Three
Jammarat [Stoning of Devils on Hajj] and are the same process in your
spiritual pursuit. As you try to open your heart, by Muraqabah, the
Shaykh is taking away all the evilness on the Lataif / chakras and
making them to submit to the Divine Presence. As we practice more and
more in his way, it is his light and guidance which can remove these
idols.



To achieve this we must be in Muraqabah of the Shaykh.

We must Open the lock upon the ears,

Open the lock on the heart,

and remove the veil on our eyes.



That is why the Arabic letter Sheen is for Arsh [ Divine Throne] has
three dots on it; they are three locks. The purpose of the spiritual
practices is to unlock the three locks on the hearts reaching towards
the Divine heart through the Prophetic heart. These lights are moving
from Rajab to Shaban to Ramadan.

This is the importance of the awrad that we recite. The awrad of
Sayyidina Ali [as] for completion of the Quran is the Naqshbandiyya
wird. That is the fulfillment of reading the Quran with all its
secrets. Intention to recite the awrad on the intention of the
Shaykhs.


Three Surat al-Ikhlas has to do with that reality.

The secret of number 3. We have 1 and then we have 2 which is
reflection of 1.

2 + 1 is three.

Three – from which everything is born. Light of Allah, Light of
Prophet, and Light of Creation.


One is Ahad or Unique Oneness.

One is Wahid Oneness.

One is The Essence and Wahid is the reflection of the Ahad.

One – Allah.

Creation is from the other “one” which is Wahid.

From the one and two the rest of creation is born.


Everything then is born from three. 3+1=4, …3+6=9


Secret of The soul & light is in the understanding of  3.
3 + 1 =  4     form is given. The four elements that make up the form.
3 + 2 =  5

five senses, which you use to find your lord, hearing, seeing,
touching,
smelling and tasting.

3 + 3 =  6     you are a reflection of the divine soul so 6, al-Wadud.
This creation is born from love. HabibAllah, from Allah’s love (ishk),
comes Muhammad (s) from his Love (ishk) comes all creation

3 + 4=  7     The guide, the calipha (al-Hadi), gives birth to the
importance of seven. Seven holy openings, seven levels of the atom. 2
ears, 2 eyes, 2 nostrils a one mouth. Soul and Form are Created and a
Guide is Born. The Honor of our creation and importance of the
viceroy. These 3 orifices take in air and the other 4 openings are the
two ears and 2 eyes, the hearing and seeing aspect of creation.

3 + 5=  8     The Soul with the secret of life is Ever Living (al-Hayat),
eternal Circle of Life. When we are born we die and when we die we are
born into a new reality. Each Ending is the Birth of a New Reality.
Contradictory reality. Allah is infinite and creation is an eternal
cycle. Ya Da’im Ya Da’im is describing the eternal journey. We are
always asking to have a good journey.

3 + 6=  9     3 + 6 [wadud] The Soul that opens the Secret of Divine Love
and opens the power of 9 which is the highest authority. 9 is the
Sultan, the king, Abdullah. Perfect submission is due to the secret of
the number 9, so the Heart of the Quran, Surah 36 Ya-Seen, is seen in
the mirror

Anytime we recite 11 times Surat al-Ikhlas, it relates to that secret
of the mirror of Creation; Allah’s Essence reflecting to Muhammad [s],
the Abd.



3  for the power of Three Holy Lights.

Seven relates to Hadi or perfection of the soul and perfection of our
form.
Then this perfect creation becomes a guide for all of creation.

When we recite seven times Surat al-Inshirah it is for the 7 holy
openings.

That is, the opening of the 7 holy openings of the face and the 7
levels of the heart.
