There are many more things there.
There are levels of the esoteric world.
One esoteric level is the Realm of Malakut and its esoteric plane is the Realm of Jabrut.
Everything in this world is a replica of Malakut.
Everything in Malakut is a replica of Jabrut.
And everything in Jabrut is a replica of Ankabut.
Beyond these realms is the Unseen World...
The Material is the Reflection of the Esoteric
A hadith states that all that the exoteric world is a reflection of the esoteric realm.
Everything that exists in the esoteric realm was replicated in the material world.
Long ago, in around 2007,
I was at home, sitting in my kitchen
when a few birds flew into the kitchen and they were birds that we had never seen before.
They were commemorating 'RaRiaz'
and I was thinking, 'they are such beautiful and fortunate birds, for they commemorate ''RaRiaz'', '
meanwhile, some birds flew out from within my chest and they too began to chant zikr.
What we learned from this is that the birds we see in our realm, most of those birds are also present in the esoteric plane.
However, there is a difference between the two versions.
All the birds [in the esoteric plane] chant zikr.
For instance, we have nightingales. Do you know what they are?
The voice of a nightingale is very melodious; this bird originates from [the esoteric realm].
God has created many things to entertain humankind which he sent into the world
and there are many things that did not come into this world.
As for the soul, the soul is... and you shall be astounded to hear this,
that the human soul does not have any appearance.
It has no shape or appearance.
It is a form of energy.
And when God's manifestation comes before it, that manifestation of God becomes visible in the soul.
So, the soul, in other words, is equivalent to a mirror, like a smoke or you could call it a screen.
Now, that soul resides in human beings as well as animals and birds.
When it is compounded with ethereal spirits, one becomes a human,
and when something has a soul but does not have ethereal spirits, it is just a creature.
There are many more things there.
There are levels of the esoteric world.
One esoteric level is the Realm of Malakut and its esoteric plane is the Realm of Jabrut.
Everything in this world is a replica of Malakut.
Everything in Malakut is a replica of Jabrut.
And everything in Jabrut is a replica of Ankabut.
The levels go up and the quality improves.
And then there is the Unseen World.
Everything in the [esoteric realm] is a replica of the Unseen World.
There are many places where there are only birds, nothing else.
There are some places where there are animals.
However, God wished for a system to be replicated from the Unseen World, a place where there are people that walk and talk,
and he replicated that in his realm, which is why he had to devote his own appearance.
He has an appearance there, so he had to lend it [to his creation].
However, there was one condition from [the Unseen World]: 'Now that you have created a creature, which you label as a human,
so that it does not completely replicate [the Unseen World], create both good and bad people, so that it can be understood they are humans.
because if there are only good people, it would be a complete duplication [of the Unseen World]'.
This is why things were created in pairs here.
There was ishq (rapturous love) there and so, there is hatred here.
And those who become purified and enlightened, those whose hearts are enriched with God's love, they begin to reflect the residents of the Unseen Realm.
And seeing such individuals pleases God.
Everything that exists here is a copy of up there.
The concept of the Sun and the Moon - the Sun is a replica of the Foremost Reflection.
When God desired to witness his beauty, it was a massive sphere of fire that appeared.
A majestic divine light was manifested before him.
Now, it had so much luminance that it appeared to be a massive sphere of fire,
then God moved in a rhythm in front of it - Hindus believe God danced.
Then the brilliance of the sphere of light lessened slightly,
God then moved and danced again and its brilliance was reduced a bit more.
When God had moved in a rhythm or danced seven times, that is when the silhouette, shape and appearance of the Foremost Reflection became visible.
People ask us about the significance of the number seven.
There is no significance, it was just that the Foremost Reflection became visible only after God danced around it seven times.
There was an immense amount of divine light, and the storms of majesty were rampant.
So with this exertion, when divine light emitted from God's being, each droplet took the shape of a soul.
These souls are called 'Tifl e Noori' (Spirits of Light).
Those who have them are known as Sultan.
However, in the eyes of Ishq, the Sultan ul Fuqra are merely the remnants of God's light.
Those of Faqr (spiritual poverty) hold no significance in the eyes of those of Ishq - they are deemed beggars by those of Ishq.
Because after God saw the Foremost Reflection, danced and expelled divine light - that divine light is like the zakat.
For example, Bibi Fatima was rendered the wealth of Faqr, while Maula Ali was rendered the wealth of Ishq.
