As such, the most effective and fruitful practice man can do is to activate his prayer mechanism.
Prayer is the act of turning to the One denoted by the name Allah, to actualize one’s aspirations, through the strength and power of Allah!
There is a very subtle yet a crucially important point to take notice of here. I will share this secret in hope that perhaps some day after I am gone, some may remember this knowledge and send me a prayer…
In line with what I said in a previous chapter about why salat cannot be without al-Fatiha, when an individual seeks protection… They seek it not from an outside source, but from within their own essence!
In the transmission from their essence to their consciousness, various dimensions of existence, such as Ahadiyyah (Oneness), the station of Ama (Nothingness), Wahdaniyyah (Unity), Rahmaniyyah (the Quantum Potential), Arsh (Throne), Rububiyyah (compositional qualities denoted by the Names comprising one’s essence) and Ubudiyyah (i.e. the servitude of the ‘self’ or individual consciousness), are all present within the individual’s essence.
This is very similar to how within the body we have the dimension of cells, within the cells the dimension of genes, within the genes the dimension of proteins, within the proteins the molecules, then the atoms, the waves and ultimately the strings… Each of these dimensions has a sense of consciousness based on its own structural qualities, and all of these stations, states, dimensions exist according to the capacity of the perceiver…
Thus, when one recites a prayer with the intention to seek protection, they are seeking refuge in the strength and power pertaining to the One denoted by the name Allah within their own essence. They are activating and manifesting these qualities, and as such, forming a field of magnetic waves emanating from their brain as a protective shield.
For example, when we read the Ayat al-Qursi, we are actually remembering that the rank or station denoted by ‘kursi’ (the Footstool) is in our own ‘sama’, that is, our own consciousness,[1] and rules over our own ‘ardh’ (body). Hence, we are invoking the strength and power pertaining to the existence of Allah!
So, when you read the various protective prayers advised in The Power of Prayer, such as al-Falaq and an-Nas in order to be protected from the jinn, or ill willed people casting negative energies, you are in fact invoking your own essence for protection! When you start reciting “Audhu biRabbil falaq…” or “Audhu biRabbin nas…” you are seeking refuge in the attribute of Rububiyyah within the Dimension of the Names that comprise your essence, and asking it to protect you, thereby emanating protective brainwaves to expel the negative waves surrounding you. Please try to understand this! For there is no more I can disclose in regards to this topic.[2]
If the prayers for protection are read with the awareness of this mechanism they will certainly be a lot more effective in our lives. Who knows the extent of knowledge that can be revealed if the Quran was read with such awareness!
This is why faith in the One denoted by the name ‘Allah’, that is, the One who brought into existence ‘the existence you presume you have’, can never be a God outside or beyond you!
The key to the infinite treasure within our essence is the knowledge and comprehension of Allah, as disclosed by Muhammad (saw).
May this comprehension and evaluation be eased and facilitated for us!
The path to a true savior lies in READing and understanding the knowledge imparted by Muhammad (saw)!
I am sure the intimates of the reality (ahlul haqiqah) already have insight to this knowledge more profoundly than what has been shared here…
