And if you speak your thoughts (or conceal them) know that indeed He knows the secret (in your consciousness) and what is even deeper (the actual Names that compose it).
It is Allah! There is no deity-god, only HU! The Beautiful Names belong to Him (He creates what He wills with those qualities)!
Has the story of Moses reached you?
How he (Moses) saw a fire and said to his people, “Stay here, indeed I have sensed fire... Perhaps I will bring you an ember from it or find a guide near that fire.”
When he came close (to the fire) he perceived a calling, “O Moses.”
“Indeed, I am your Rabb! Take off both your sandals (let go of your physical and mental conditionings and remain as pure consciousness) for you are indeed in your sacred valley of Tuwa!”
“I have chosen you! So, perceive the knowledge that is being revealed!”
“Indeed, I am Allah! There is no deity-god, only Me! So, serve Me (by manifesting the qualities of My Names)! And experience salat to remember Me!”
“Indeed, the hour (of death) will come... But I will keep its time hidden so that everyone will see and experience the consequences of their own deeds.”
“Do not let those who don’t believe (in the eternal life to come upon death) and who follow their baseless illusions distract you from it (the truth that all shall return to Allah) lest you be destroyed!”[1]
Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies (tasbih) Allah (through fulfilling their functions). HU is the Aziz, the Hakim.
To Him belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth... He gives life and takes life! He is Qadir over all things.
HU is the Awwal (the first and initial state of existence) and the Akhir (the infinitely subsequent One, to all manifestation), the Zahir (the explicit, unequivocal and perceivable manifestation; the Absolute Reality beyond the illusion) and the Batin (the unperceivable reality within the perceivable manifestation, the source of the unknown; the Absolute Self beyond the illusory selves)! He is Aleem over all things (the Knower of all things as their creator with His Names)!
He created the heavens and the earth in six periods and then established Himself on the Throne! He knows what goes into the earth and what come out from it; what is disclosed from the sky and what ascends to it... And He is with you (the origin of your being) wherever you are (as your reality exists with His Names) ... (This points to the unity of existence beyond the illusion of duality.) Allah is Basir of what you do (as their creator).
To Him belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth! All affairs are returned to Allah.
He transforms the night into the day and the day into the night! He, as their absolute essence (with His Names), knows what is in the hearts!
Believe in Allah and His Rasul, your essential reality with His Names... Give (for His sake) from that of which He has made you vicegerents! Those among you, who believe and give, there is a great reward for them.
What is your reason for not believing in Allah, your essential reality with His Names? While the Rasul invites you to believe in your Rabb, who brought you into existence from nonexistence with His Names, and has even taken your word! If, indeed, you are true believers![2]
Omar was left speechless…
“I have never heard such majestic, such penetrating words brought together with so much grandeur and eloquence!”
Upon hearing this confession, Habbab came out from where he was hiding and applauded;
“Congratulation to you O Omar! For verily, he had made a prayer the other day, saying ‘O Allah! Strengthen Islam either with Omar or with Abu Jahil.’
I pray that this prayer of the Rasul of Allah becomes true for you! Now I see that his prayer is manifesting on you, this is a Mighty Power Omar!”
Omar had become exceedingly overwhelmed and sensitive…
“Where is the Rasul of Allah now? I would very much like to see him…”
Fatma was still a little worried, “Only if you promise to not do anything unbefitting to him, we shall tell you his whereabouts…”
Omar had long forsaken his plan…
“I give you my oath: I will not do anything that is unbefitting to the Rasul of Allah!”
