Our Beloved Messenger stated, “Who Knows himself will Know
his Lord.” It is necessary to understand Lordship before one may call
himself Abdullah, a servant of Allah.
RasulAllah { Rasul= Messenger of Allah} did not say "Allah" but LORD { Rabb}."
Holy Quran: Yusuf :
12.1 A.L.R. These are the
symbols (or Verses) of the Wise Book.
{ Alif -Divine Essence , to Lam-Lahut-Existence & Light ,
Ra- Sifat Al-Rabb - Lordship or Divine Governance of the Universe.}
4:59 O ye who
believe! Obey Allah, and
obey
the Messenger,
and those charged with
authority among you.
When the process of Self-realization starts, we will find that we are
servants of many things before anyone can claim to be a servant of Allah.
If not, we would all been Saints. First Level is that of a servant to Shaytan: People
following thier owns lusts and desires Allah asks, “Have you seen those
who make their Desires their LORD?”
- Drinking, smoking, drugs, fornication, anger and many other
vices.
- These are all Lords over you.
- That is why many people cannot stop committing evil.
- That
wickedness is very powerful and has a tremendous hold over people.
That is why Sayyidina Muhammad (S) said, “One hour of Meditation is better than 70 years of
worship which equal 126,000 prayers for One hour”
In that level
of self-realization, we will find that before we can serve Allah we must not
be a slave to Shaytan. In the Holy Quran: Yusuf: 12:23, He (Prophet Yusuf) said: “Allah forbid! Truly (thy
husband) is my lord”
he made my sojourn agreeable! Truly to
no good come to those who do wrong!" (the Prophet of Allah is showing us
that Lord are those in authority and must be respected!)
The
Degrees of Lordship over you are,
Surah Yusuf 12:53, the (human) soul is
certainly prone to evil [al-Nafs al aammaratun], unless my Lord does
bestow His Mercy:
4 Enemies of Creation: Shaytan, Evilness Nafs, or Egoism Hawa, Excessive Desires or
Sensual Pleasures Dunya, Excessive
Materialism
Then,
when evilness is destroyed, Allah asks us to make our way the way of Haqq
and truthfulness. Allah is the treasure we are seeking. We will not
arrive without tremendous trials of Faith.
The way of the seeker then Ati Ulul Amri Minkum.
Once you are accepting Truthfulness as you way " Tariqat" . You will be tested in Family,
wealth and your life as He tested His beloved Prophets..
Once you are accepting Truthfulness, the way of the
seeker Ati Ulul Amri Minkum.
Those in Authority over you must be respected Ulu
Amri Minkum: As stated in the Holy
Quran Yusuf 12:42 ......He (Prophet Yusuf)
said: "Mention me to thy lord” But Satan made Yusuf forget to mention him to
his lord:
To be law abiding, obey your Leaders and elected
officials or kings over you.
Obey Local Governments, Mayors, Council people,
Police Law enforcment. Submit,
realize all things come from Allah.
You cannot say this is not a Muslim country or
it is a Muslim country.
People of Haqq obey all Laws of any land in
which they live in.
This is Submission to the will of Allah and His
Beloved Rasul. Once
Ulul Amr of Dunya are Respected then, Rasul will guide to
Those in Spiritual Authority..
Holy Quran 3.18
There is no god but He: That is the witness
of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm
on justice
- Then if
successful in understanding their Lordship over you.
hadith qudsî via Abu Hurayra, “My slave does not draw near Me with anything
I love more than what I have made obligatory for him. My slave continues to draw
near me with super obligatory actions until I love him.
When I love him, I am
his hearing with which he hears, his sight by which he sees, his hands with which he
strikes, and his feet with which he walks. He will become Rabanniya and say be and it will
be ” (Sahih al-Bukhari, 81:38:2)

Holy Quran
: 4.1 O mankind! reverence your
Guardian-Lord, who created you from a
single person,
created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like
seeds) countless men and women The Divine Names are the
language of the state accorded by the realities By.
Shaykh Al Akbar Ibn Arabi. Know that the Divine Names have a tongue of state which is accorded them
by their realities.
- The essence of Allah is One in as much as it is essence.
I say that the names gathered together in the presence of the Named.
They looked at their realities and meanings and asked for the
manifestation of their judgments so that their sources would be set apart
by their effects. The Attribute of The Creator
{Al Khaliq 11th} is He who §
is the Determiner, §
the Knower, §
the Manager, §
the Distinguisher, §
the Originator, §
the Fashioner, §
the Provider, §
the Reviver, §
the One who makes dies, §
the Inheritor, §
the Thankful. §
All the Divine Names looked at their essences, but did not see
the created, managed, distinguished or provided for. They said, "How can
there be action unless these sources are manifest in which our judgments
appear so our authority is manifest?" So after the manifestation of the source of the world, the Divine Names
which some of the realities of the world demanded sought the protection of
the Name, the Originator. (al-Badi).
They said to Him, "Would You bring into existence these
sources to manifest our judgments and establish our authority since the
presence we are in does not accept our effect?"
-
The Originator said, "That must be referred to the Name, the
Powerful. I am under His control."
Then they resorted the name, the Powerful (al-Qadir). { Speach
from Essence Ql, Al-Qadir + Lam- Lahut}
-
He said, "I am under the control of the Transformer. I cannot
bring any source among you into existence except by His direction. Nothing
is possible for me in itself except that a command from the Commander comes
to it from its Lord.
-
When He commands it to take form and says to it,
'Be!' then I can do it and connect it to bringing into existence, so I give
it form from that moment. Go to the name, the Transformer. Perhaps He
will prefer and make dominant the aspect of existence over the aspect of
non-existence. The Commander, the Speaker and Myself will be joined together
and bring you into existence."
They came to the name, the Transformer
Al-Musawwir and said to Him,
- "We asked the name, the Powerful, to bring our sources into
existence. He referred the matter to You. What do you say?"
-
The Transformer said, "The Powerful spoke the truth, but I
have no news about what the name, the Knowing, AL-Aleem has judged regarding you and
whether His knowledge of bringing you into existence has preceded in
particular or not.
I am under the control of the name, the Knowing. AL-Aleem Go to
Him and tell Him your business."
-
They then went to the name, the Knowing, and told Him what the
name, the Transformer, had told them. The Knowing said, "The Transformer
spoke the truth. My knowledge of your coming into existence has already
preceded, but adab is more fitting.
There is a presence which controls us, and it is the name
Allah. We must appear before Him, for it is the presence of
gatheredness." All the names gathered in the presence of Allah.
-
He said, "What is your concern?" They told him. He said, "I am
the Name which gathers together your realities.
-
I am the proof of the Named, and it is the pure Essence which
has the attributes of perfection and disconnection.
-
Stay until I go in to My proven." He went in to His proven and
told Him what the possibles had told Him and what the names conferred about.
-
He said, "Go out and tell each of the Names to attach itself
to what its reality demands in the possibles.
-
I am the One by Myself in respect to Myself.
-
The possibles
demand My rank, and My rank demands them.
All the Divine Names belong to the rank, not to Me, except for
the One.
It is a name particular to Me, and none shares with Me in its
reality in any aspect, either among the names, the ranks, or the possibles. The known balance, prescribed limit
and protected Imam The name Allah came out,
- and with Him came the name, the Speaker, to interpret for Him
to the possibles and the Names. { Who is The Eternal Messenger of Allah that
Has Eternally Spoken for Allah}
-
He mentioned to them what the Named had mentioned.
-
So the Knower, the Transformer, the Speaker and the Powerful
were connected, and the first possible appeared by the selection of the
Transformer and the judgment of the Knowing.
When the sources and effects appeared in beings, some began
to subdue others and prevail over them according to what they are based on
among the names and this led to dissension and strife.
-
They said, "We fear that our order will be corrupted and we
will be joined to the non-existence which we were in it." The possibles
warned the Names about what they were informed of by the Names, the Knowing
and the Manager.
-
They said, "O Names! If your judgment is on a known balance,
and prescribed limit by an Imam to which you refer, our existence
will be preserved for us and we will preserve your effects on us for you.
-
That would be better for us and you. Go to Allah. Perhaps He
will advance someone who will prescribe limits for you to stop at.
If not, we will be destroyed and become void." They said,
"This is useful and a proper opinion."
-
So they did that. They said,
"The Name,
the Manager , is the
One who decides your affair." They went to the Manager with the matter. He
said, "I will do it."
He entered and emerged by the command of the Real
Al-Haqq {108 Surah the Kawthar} to the Name, the
Lord Al-Rabb.
-
He said to Him, "Do what benefit demands to make the sources
of these possibles go on.
-
" He appointed two ministers to help Him, as He was commanded.
-
One was the name the Manager and the other was the name the
Distinguisher.
-
Allah says, "He manages the affair and distinguishes the
signs. Perhaps you will be certain in the encounter with your Lord."
who is the Imam.
So look at how wise are the words of Allah when He brought a
phrase in accordance with the state which obliges that the business be based
on it! …Futuhat Makkiya Shaykh Ibn Arabi.
