One form of salah is for your heart to engage in constant remembrance of God
- this is eternal salah.
Then, your soul is also commemorating God,
and then you must engage all the other spirits in the remembrance of God.
By the way, from all the ethereal spirits,
which of your ethereal spirits is the youngest?
Which Salah Does the Qur’an Command to be Protected?
Q: Which zikr should be practised for the salah to be established?
The zikr of the heart.
It is said for the zikr of the heart ‘aqeemas salata lizikri (establish salah with my remembrance)’.
It is for the zikr of the heart.
And the verse which states ‘protect salat ul wusta’,
people mistranslated it to mean ‘the middle salah’.
There is Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha,
so which is the middle one? Asr.
They tell you to protect this salah as if thieves will take it away.
This salah does not require protection!
It was the salah being performed in your chest, between your ribs.
This heart of yours is what you must protect.
Meaning, you must first acquire the eternal salah.
‘Hafizu alasalawati - protect all types of salah’.
There are various types of salah.
One form of salah is for your heart to engage in constant remembrance of God
- this is eternal salah.
Then, your soul is also commemorating God,
and this is even greater than eternal salah,
and then you must engage all the other spirits in the remembrance of God.
By the way, from all the seven ethereal spirits in your body,
which of your ethereal spirits is the youngest?
The Main Soul.
It was created at the very end.
Your soul is not as eminent and magnificent as your ethereal spirits.
Sarkar declared, ‘The human soul was created alongside the angels
while the ethereal spirits were created alongside the archangels’.
Therefore, they are greater in eminence.
So, your ethereal spirits have been engulfed in the commemoration of God prior even to the creation of your soul.
So when eternal zikr is mentioned, who shall qualify for eternal zikr?
Not the soul, the first to qualify for eternal zikr are the ethereal spirits
because Sarkar said that the predestined loving souls recited the Kalima in the presence of God;
there was no body there so who recited the Kalima?
There was no body there, right?
So if there was no body then who recited the Kalima?
It must have been your souls right?
The soul does not forget having recited the Kalima,
it enters into a dormant state while the Kalima carries on within.
However, when it enters the world and the negative atmosphere of the world touches the soul, it faints.
I am talking about the special people, not the common people for their souls enter the world in a dormant state.
Their souls are completely unconscious, their souls have no idea whether they are alive or dead.
They don’t even know that - you see, all these people walking around, some have reached the age of 70 or 80
and they have no awareness of the esoteric knowledge,
their souls are not aware of their presence in the world.
They have no clue. Utterly unaware.
They shall return in the very same state, and so shall their souls.
We have seen it ourselves. There is a state of chaos on the Day of Judgement,
a throng of souls complaining that
‘We have been wronged! We were never sent into the world!’
The main purpose of the Day of Judgement is to set those straight who shall complain they were never sent into the world.
It was for them that God said,
‘You shall be shown the scenes of your actions and deeds in the world and you say you were never sent into the world’.
It was for them.
It is neither for the disbelievers nor the believers.
What’s the point of this for a disbeliever?
Now what did God say for the Day of Judgement?
‘On that day, neither your wealth nor your progeny will benefit you…’
'so who shall be successful? ‘…
the one who brings forth to God a Secured Heart’.
Now, whoever brings forth a heart, it will be a Secured Heart regardless
because the heart that is not a Secured Heart shall perish in the grace and those people shall go there empty-handed.
Those who have a heart to take, it shall be a Secured Heart.
It’s not like one person there will have a purified heart and another will have an impure heart.
Only those hearts shall make it to the Day of Judgement who were furnished with the light of God, the remembrance of God.
The hearts that were not furnished with the light and remembrance of God shall perish in the grave.
No ethereal spirit shall accompany the soul.
The soul will be alone there.
The soul will be alone there
and those who are zakir e qalbi, their hearts shall be shining with them.
This is how the angels will recognise them.
The one who is shining with the light of ‘Ya Wadoodo’ is from the nation of David.
The heart that is shining with the light of ‘Ya Rehmano’ is from the nation of Moses.
The heart that is shining with ‘Ya Qudduso’ is from the nation of Jesus
and the ones shining with the light of ‘Allah Hu’ is from the nation of Prophet Muhammad (s).
On the Day of Judgement, you shall be recognised by the divine light you possess.
Otherwise, imagine how many people would bear the same face and colour.
There’s a very common misconception that people shall be recognised by the name of their mother on the Day of Judgement.
So which name would your mother be recognised by?
No. It’s not the mother’s name, rather the word was ‘ummah’,
meaning the nation shall be recognised by the divine light it has been granted.
If you are a believer and your mother is a disbeliever, how would you be recognised through a disbeliever?
How could a disbeliever be your recognition?
On that day, recognition will be by divine light.
The hearts will be shining [with divine light].
