You should know this now.
God is God, but the realm of God, the Realm of Ahdiyat,
no one can enter that realm,
unless God exits it.
That is what true shirk is…
Who Can Enter the Realm of Ahdiyat?
Q: My second question is that those who are witnessing God, are they seeing the God that is in Malakut?
God is not in Malakut,
he is in the Realm of Ahdiyat (Divine Oneness).
And God never leaves the Realm of Ahdiyat.
You should know this now.
God is God,
but the realm of God, the Realm of Ahdiyat,
no one can enter that realm, unless God exits it.
No one can enter the Realm of Ahdiyat.
That is what true shirk is,
none can enter it.
Only the entities of that realm can enter it,
for example, the Jussa e Taufeeq e Ilahi (Divine Sub-spirit) belongs to that realm, it is an entity of that realm;
the Tifl e Noori (Spirit of Light) belongs to the Realm of Ahdiyat, it is an entity of that realm;
the Latifa e Ana is an entity of the Realm of Ahdiyat.
Well, the Jussa e Taufeeq e Ilahi and Tifl e Noori are a reflection of God anyway,
they are all divine light;
however, when someone purifies and enlightens their Ana through spiritual knowledge,
it is also able to ascend to that realm.
The clergymen told you that as per the Qur’an, the human eye is incapable of seeing God.
So you declared Baba Farid, Ghaus Pak and Data Sab as liars for they claimed to have seen God.
You’re clinging to incomplete information.
Look, no one has witnessed God with their physical eyes, apart from Prophet Muammad (s).
A human being cannot witness God with these physical eyes,
however, there is a spirit behind these eyes, the Ana,
which is prepared and sent,
it then goes and witnesses God
and acts like a camera.
The Ana witnesses the divine splendour,
then the imprint of God is absorbed into the Ana,
and when the Ana returns to your head,
[the image of God] enters the eyes, from the eyes into the heart.
Once God’s imprint enters the heart,
[God says], ‘Now, whoever sees you will see me’.
So, God does not exit the Realm of Ahdiyat.
Yes, it is stated in some places that God descends to the fourth or fifth sky,
but this does not allude to the actual person of God.
That is not about the original essence of God. God has never come out.
God does not exit the Realm of Ahdiyat, nor shall he ever leave.
He shall never leave because this relates to his rank of oneness.
There was a man called Dr Khalid Choudhary here
and when Sarkar came [to England], Sarkar told us he is a saint.
He was a majzoob-type.
So, he met Sarkar and later on,
we would meet regularly as he lived right across us.
So, whenever I would visit him, we would discuss spirituality
and one day, he said, 'Up there, on the throne,
it is not God sitting there, it is Prophet Muhammad (s).
What do you think?’
I said, 'That is what you think.
I am of the opinion that God has not permitted anyone to enter the Realm of Ahdiyat',
and he was a saint, so he asked, 'Not even the Prophet (s)?' I said, 'No, not even the Prophet (s)'.
He became upset - livid, in fact.
When Sarkar arrived, he sternly complained to Sarkar,
'Your boy is naive and disrespectful’.
Sarkar asked, ‘What has he said?’
He said, ‘He says the Prophet (s) cannot enter the Realm of Ahdiyat,
whereas I say that the Prophet (s) is the one seated on the throne in the Divine Empyrean'.
Sarkar said, 'He speaks of what we have taught him.
For you, once you saw the Prophet (s),
your vision was affixed to the Prophet (s)
which is why you can only see the Prophet (s) everywhere.
However, the law remains.
What is the law?
God’s realm, the Realm of Ahdiyat, absolutely no one can cross its borders,
not even the Prophet (s).
This is why the Qur’an talks about ‘qaab qausain’
- the union of the Realm of Wehdat and the Realm of Ahdiyat.
[The Prophet (s)] did not enter the realm.
No one can enter it. That realm is anti-creation.
No one can enter it.
This is the point where the Barelvis falter,
they exaggerate and say,
‘The sender of divine revelations is the Prophet (s) himself and it is the Prophet (s) perched on the throne’.
You should not say anything that is not true.
You must only state the truth as it is.
The truth must not be altered.
And we find this trait in both the Shias as well as the Barelvis.
Of course, the Prophet’s eminence is undoubted,
the Prophet (s) is God’s beloved
and after God, the Prophet (s) holds the highest rank
but it is after God; no one is equal to God.
No one is equal to God, no matter who it is.
Whether it is Adam, Abraham or Prophet Muhammad (s), all the powers and miracles and wonders, whatever it may be, they have
all been endowed by God.
That is the main thing, it is all bestowed by God.
And this is God's law.
Now, if you were to say that 'Since I am your best friend, I shall put my leg through your trousers and walk with you'
- would it make any sense?
It’s my trouser, so I will be the one wearing it!
No matter how many friends you have, they will all visit you in the drawing room, not your bedroom.
Similarly, the Realm of Ahdiyat is like God’s bedroom.
I am saying it to explain it to you,
don’t think I am calling the Divine Empyrean a bedroom.
Ignorance is common nowadays.
I am saying that just as a bedroom is exclusive [to an individual],
similarly, the Realm of Ahdiyat is exclusive to God
and no one can enter it except God. No one can go there except God,
no matter who it is.
It belongs to God.
