Write 'Allah' 66 times on white paper with a black pen/pencil.
No more or less than 66 times because this is an amal (practice). You must only write it 66 times.
The Amal (Practice) of Writing 'Allah' 66 Times
This is an amal.
The numerical value of the personal name of God is 66.
So, this is an amal
You write 'Allah' 66 times on white paper with a black pen/pencil.
No more or less than 66 times because this is an amal.
You must only write it 66 times.
Now, you can carry out this practice as many times as you want but each time you must only write God's name 66 times.
Wait a few minutes and then write God's name 66 times again.
What is the benefit of this practice?
The benefit of this practice is that the name of God that is written on the paper will be absorbed by your eyes.
Your eyes will absorb God's name.
Whensoever you write, write 66 times only.
Not one less, not more than that.
Because this is an amal.
When God's name begins to float in your vision, you can stop writing it.
And now, start practising settling the name of God from your eyes into your heart.
If God wills, the name of God that you could see floating in your eyes will then be seen on the screen of your heart.
Initially, you will see it written in black due to the practice of visualisation.
Gradually, as divine energy begins to generate, it will become white.
When the visualisation of God's name has been established, your heartbeats will automatically rise
and when your heartbeats have risen then synchronise 'Allah' with one heartbeat and 'Hu' with another.
Just practise this.
There are two things here:
Settling the name of God through the practice of visualisation.
This is one method.
It is a common method.
Anyone can practise this.
There is another more powerful method.
Even more powerful than the last.
If you have a divinely ordained Spiritual Master
then visualise that your Spiritual Master is holding your index finger
because you do not have divine energy emanating from your finger but the Spiritual Master does.
Even if the Spiritual Master is not present physically, you can visualise your Master.
Even visualising the Master generates divine energy.
When you visualise your Spiritual Master is holding your finger and writing God's name on your heart, it will be a great help for you.
And what should someone do if they don't have a Spiritual Master?
That is why His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi declared, 'If none in your visualisation appears to help you,
you might as well turn to Gohar Shahi for help!'
Visualise that HDE Gohar Shahi is holding your finger and writing God's name on your heart.
This is the method by which God's name enters your heart instantly.
Now, when I obtained spiritual benevolence, although I had been practising Zikr.
In the beginning, we would do Zikr of 'Allah Hu' so much.
But I did not practise the Zikr of the subtleties regularly.
One of the problems with that was the gathering was held very late at night
around 1 am or 3 am.
In Pakistan.
At that time, I couldn't get there in a car and sometimes, I would muster the courage to walk all the way.
So, I wouldn't always be able to attend the gathering.
And the nights I would go there would be spent in regret because it would go on for a long time.
Many of the Zakireen were fond of dragging the Zikr mehfil as much as possible.
They had spent their youth in sinful activities so they had nothing better to do in their old age.
So they wanted to drag the Zikr mehfil for 2-3 hours.
I was a young lad and regretted attending the gathering every time.
So, I was never a frequent or focused attendee.
If I went once, I would not return for another 2-4 months.
So I never practised the Zikr of the subtleties.
But my subtleties were awakened and enlightened with the spiritual concentration of His Divine Eminence.
In Manchester
This is from about 30 years ago -
A guy complained about me to His Divine Eminence in Manchester and said, 'Master, I have never seen this boy offering salah in the mosque'
and that is when His Divine Eminence said, 'That's fine. Their subtleties are enlightened through my spiritual concentration'.
'Their subtleties are enlightened through my spiritual concentration, so they don't need to go there'.
And that is when I found out that there is the method of practising and engaging in Zikr
and the other method is not to do Zikr at all but for the Spiritual Master spiritually awakens and strengthens the subtleties
and there is no need for them to be engaged in Zikr either.
Now, the question is does the Spiritual Master do this for all his disciples? No.
It is up to him.
So now the question is who does the Master select?
Normally, the Spiritual Master chooses those who surrender their lives for the sake of the Master
and submit themselves to the Master with utmost sincerity.
It is one thing to continue with your business and expect to become enlightened with the spiritual concentration of the Master without being required to worship
but you didn't engage in worship because you were in the company of the Master but because you were working for your business.
But if you have surrendered yourself for the sake of your Master
and all your time is spent in serving the Master
then leave everything up to the Master. He will take care of it.
He will render His blessings upon you.
