The Secret of God's Throne
Hafiza Begum from Assam asks
'I want to know that what is the esoteric meaning of God's Throne being above water initially?'
Yes, that is what is written that there was a lot of water in the beginning.
There is no esoteric explanation for such things.
For instance, what could the esoteric explanation be for this roof being made of Formica?
There's no explanation; it's just made from Formica.
Now, God doesn't have just one throne.
God has a throne in each realm.
He has a total of seven thrones.
One is called Arsh e Rehman.
One is called Arsh e Majeed.
One is called Arsh e Oola another is called Arsh e Mualla.
So he has seven thrones.
How can we know who had access to which throne? Only the one who goes there would know.
The one who has seen all seven would know there are seven thrones.
The one who has seen either the first, second or third, etc would think there is only one throne.
Now, God is not sitting on all thrones at once.
For example, if you have a few properties
it's not like you will live in all those properties at the same time.
You will live in each house at intervals.
So the Divine Thrones which were on the lower levels were accessible to the saints
and they would see only see the empty throne.
Therefore, they decided that God is divine light as they did not see God.
God sits on his throne in the seventh realm.
That is the throne for which Ayat ul Kursi was revealed.
'Allah Hu La Ilaha Illa Hu'.
'There is no God but he'.
'Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.
Who could possibly intercede with Him without His permission? He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them,'
It's about God's Throne.
For example, a Prophetic Tradition states, 'The Spiritual Heart of a devout believer is the Throne of God'.
The question is which Throne of God is the Spiritual Heart of a devout believer?
If the Spiritual Heart is the Throne of God then what is the soul of a devout believer?
This is where we come to know that the Throne of God in the Realm of Melkut (Angels) is being equated to the Spiritual Heart.
The throne that is in the Realm of Melkut is being equated to the Spiritual Heart.
The angels of the Realm of Melkut don't have access to God's Throne there.
You have access to God's Throne because of your Spiritual Heart, that's why it is known as the Throne of God.
If you have access to God's Throne, it is only because of the Spiritual Heart.
The angels also belong to the Realm of Melkut
and the Spiritual Heart also belongs to the Realm of Melkut.
How did you supersede the angels?
The angels will stay in the Realm of Melkut
but they don't have access to the Throne of God in the Realm of Melkut.
Whereas you are a human, made of clay, but through your Spiritual Heart you have access to the Throne of God in Melkut.
The angels don't.
If God sends a message in the Realm of Melkut, you will receive it through your Spiritual Heart and the angels will be unaware of it.
There was a saint in Kaaba who was offering Salat without a religious cap and in a dhoti
The saint came from Bangladesh.
A long time has passed since.
This is from a very long time ago.
He was wearing a dhoti or lungi
and he was offering Salat in Kaaba without a religious cap.
Now, the angels would look at him and see divine energy in him
but they couldn't find the trace of it.
Where is it coming from?
Therefore, they did not keep a record of his Salat.
They didn't keep a record of his Salat.
Why couldn't they find the trace?
Because they would look towards his Spiritual Heart
but they wouldn't be able to see his Spiritual Heart.
they would only see the divine light.
Later they found out that when they had seen him in the Kaaba that day
his heart was at the Throne of God in the Realm of Melkut.
Whenever you offer Salat, observe fasting or engage in any kind of worship or prayer,
the most important thing is for it to reach God.
Who will take it to God?
God has given us a tool called the Spiritual Heart.
One who has this power
his heart will say something from here and it will reach God directly up there.
This is why although there are angels appointed in each realm
but the worship of angels is taken to God by the archangels.
The worship of angels... [audience: is taken by the archangels].
The archangels take it to God.
Nobody's worship reaches God directly.
For except the worship of man.
When the Spiritual Heart is revived with the name of God
then whether he sends benedictions upon Prophet Mohammad, recites the Quran or the poetry of Abdul Qadir Jilani and Khwaja Gharib Nawaz -
Whatever he recites reaches the Throne of God through the Spiritual Heart.
