Number one, ‘Ali’ is one of God’s names.
Number two, ‘Ali’ is the name of Maula Ali (a).
Now, what I’m going to say is very controversial.
If you engage in the zikr of Maula Ali’s name,
‘Ya Ali, Ya Ali’,
it is greater than God’s name ‘Ali’.
Ask me. Ask me why.
The Hidden Divine Secrets in Maula Ali’s Name
​​The name ‘Ali’.
The name Ali has two aspects.
Now, if you understand this, that’s great and if you don’t, then be damned.
The name Ali has two aspects.
Number one, ‘Ali’ is one of God’s names.
That’s aspect number one.
Now, listen attentively.
There are two aspects of the name Ali.
Number one, ‘Ali’ is one of God’s names.
Number two, ‘Ali’ is the name of Maula Ali (a).
Number one, ‘Ali’ is one of God’s names.
Number two, ‘Ali’ is the name of Maula Ali (a).
Now, what I’m going to say is very controversial.
If you engage in the zikr of Maula Ali’s name,
‘Ya Ali, Ya Ali’,
it is greater than God’s name ‘Ali’.
Ask me.
Ask me why.
You should be asking why.
Because God’s name ‘Ali’ is the name of an attribute of God
whereas Maula Ali (a) has the presence of God’s own being within him.
The name ‘Ali’ belonging to God is just the name of an attribute
whereas, Maula Ali (a) is the compound of himself, Prophet Muhammad (s) and God.
Therefore, when you say Maula Ali’s name,
it is going to generate the divine energy of God’s essence
and when you say God’s name, ‘Ali’, it is going to generate the divine energy of God’s attributes.
This is why you will only earn the divine energy of God’s attributes when you say ‘Ali’ as God’s name
and if you engage in the zikr of ‘Ya Ali, Ya Ali’ as Maula Ali’s name, then you shall receive the divine energy of God’s essence.
Those who are burning from hearing this should burn brighter and leave
but this is the truth.
If you say ‘Ali’ as God’s name,
it is only generating the light of God’s attributes because it is one of the names of the attributes of God
but if you say ‘Ali’ as Maula Ali’s name -
- Maula Ali (a) has the presence of God’s essence as well as the divine energy of God’s essence.
So which zikr is more beneficial for you?
The zikr of Maula Ali’s name.
All the names of God’s attributes
do not render as much spiritual benevolence to you
as the names of those personalities
who harbour the presence of God’s essence.
For example, the name ‘Fatima’ comes from the word ‘fatir’.
‘Fatir’ is a name of God’s attribute.
It is one of the names of God’s attributes.
If you engage in the zikr of ‘Fatir’, it will generate divine energy of God’s attributes.
However, when you engage in zikr of ‘Ya Fatima’
then you will receive the divine energy of God’s essence
because Fatima has the presence of the divine essence.
When you engage in the zikr of the divine attributes such as
‘Ya Rehman’, ‘Ya Rahim’, ‘Ya Quddus’, ‘Ya Qahhar’, ‘Ya Raziq,’ or ‘Ya Wahhab’ -
- all of these are the names of the divine attributes.
On the other hand, you practise the zikr of ‘Ya Muhammad’ -
- this has more spiritual benevolence compared to the names of the divine attributes
because the names of the divine attributes only render attributable divine energy
while Prophet Muhammad (s) possesses the presence of the divine essence.
I can provide evidence for this, too.
Practise the zikr of both ‘Allah, Allah’ and ‘Ali, Ali’.
Personally, I feel more spiritually ecstatic when I engage in the zikr of ‘Ali’.
Hearing Maula Ali’s name evokes emotions of elation and serenity.
This is not because Hazrat Ali (a) is greater than God.
The powerful sensations that Maula Ali’s name elicits
are due to the presence of the divine essence within him.
We are not saying that Maula Ali (a) is greater than God -
- God forbid.
What we are saying is that ‘Ali’ is just one of the names of the divine attributes
whereas Maula Ali’s name elicits a more profound state of spiritual bliss due to God’s presence within him.
