Sayedena Adam The Seal of Divine Wisdom in the Word of Adam Towards The Understanding
of The Greatness of The Eternal Messenger of Allah Sayedena Muhammad (S)
Adam
When Allah - glory be
to Him! - willed that the source of His most Beautiful Names - which
are beyond enumeration - be seen (or you can equally say that He willed
His source to be seen), He willed that they be seen in a microcosmic
being which contained the entire matter, endowed with existence, and
through which His secret was manifested to Him. For how a thing sees
itself through itself is not the same as how it sees itself in
something else which acts as a mirror for it. So He manifests Himself
to Himself in a form which is provided by the place in which He is
seen. He would not appear thus without the existence of this place and
His manifestation (tajalli) to Himself in it.
Allah brought the
entire universe into existence through the existence of a form fashioned
without a spirit (rûh), like an unpolished mirror.
Part of the divine
decree is that He does not fashion a locus without it receiving a
divine spirit, which is described as being "blown" into it.
This is nothing other
than the result of the predisposition of that fashioned form to receive
the overflowing perpetual tajalli which has never ceased and which
will never cease.
Then we must speak of the container (qâbil).
The container comes from nothing other than His most sacredly pure Overflowing.
So the whole affair has
its beginning from Him, and its end is to Him, and "the whole affair
will be returned to Him" (11:123) as it began from Him. Thus the
command decreed the polishing of the mirror of the universe.
Adam was the very polishing of that mirror and the spirit of that form.
The angels are some of the faculties of that form which is the form of the universe,
which the Sufis designate in their technical vocabulary as the Great Man (al-Insân al-Kabîr),
for the angels are to it as the spiritual (rûhânî) and sensory faculties are to the human organism.
Each of these faculties
is veiled by itself, and it sees nothing which is superior to its own
essence, for there is something in it which considers itself to be
worthy of high rank and an elevated degree with Allah.
It is like this because it has an aspect of the divine synthesis (jam'îya).
In it is something which derives from the divine side and something which derives from the side of the reality of the realities.
This organism carries
these attributes as determined by the universal nature which
encompasses the containers of the universe from the most exalted to the
basest.
However, the intellect cannot perceive this fact by means of logical investigation - for this sort of perception only exists through divine unveiling by which one recognizes the basis of the forms of the universe which receive the spirits.
This being was called both a human being (insân) and khalif.
As for his humanness, it comes from the universality of his organism and his ability to embrace all of the realities.
He is in relation to Allah as the pupil, being the instrument of vision, is to the eye.
This is why he is called Insân. It is by him that Allah beholds His creatures and has mercy on them.
So he is a human being, both in-time [in his body] and before-time [in his spirit], an eternal and after-time organism.
He is the word which distinguishes and unifies.
The universe was completed by his existence.
He is to the universe
what the face of the seal is to the seal - for that is the locus of the
seal and thus the token with which the King places the seal on his
treasures.
Man Sits Upon a Chair, Allah Sits Upon The Heart
Allah named him khalif for this reason, Eternally MuhammadRasulAllah
since man guards His creation as treasure is guarded with the seal.
As long as the seal of the King is on the treasure, no one dares to open it without his permission.
He made him a khalif in
respect of safeguarding the universe, and it continues to be guarded
as long as this Perfect Man is in it.
Do you not see then,
that when he disappears and is removed from the treasury of this world,
nothing that Allah stored in it will remain?
Everything that was in
it will leave it, and all the parts will become confused, and
everything will be transferred to the Next World.
Then Man will be the seal on the treasury of the Next World for endless time and after-time.
All the Divine Names contained in the divine form appear in this human creation{ Known as Muhammadan Reality}.
Thus it possesses the rank of containing and integrating this existence.
It was by this that
Allah set up the proof against the angels, so remember that! Allah
admonishes you through others. Look at where that originates and where
it ends up.
The angels did not
realize what was implied by the organism of the khalif, nor did they
realize what the presence of "The Truth" demanded as 'ibâda (worship).
Each one only knows from Allah what his essence accords him.
The angels do not
possess the universality of Adam, and they did not understand the
Divine Names with which he has been favored, and by which he praises
Allah and proclaims His purity.
They only knew that
Allah had names whose knowledge had not reached them, so they could not
praise Him nor proclaim His purity through them.
What we mentioned
overcame them and this state overpowered them. They said about this
organism, "Why put on it one who will cause corruption on it?" (2:30)
This is only the argument which they were voicing.
What they said regarding Adam is exactly the state they were with regard to Allah.
Had it not been that
their nature was in accord with it, they would not have said what they
said in respect of Adam, "and yet they were not aware."
If they had had true
recognition of themselves, they would have had knowledge, and had they
been in possession of knowledge, they would have been protected and
would not have resisted by belittling Adam and thus exceeding their
claim of what they possessed of His praise and glorification.
Adam was in possession
of Divine Names which the angels did not have, so that their praise and
glorification of Him was not the same as Adam's praise and
glorification of Him.
Allah describes this to
us so that we may ponder it and learn adab with Allah, and so that we
will not lay claim to what we have not realized or possessed by pinning
down.
How can we allege something which is beyond us and of which we have no knowledge?
We will only be
exposed. This divine instruction is part of Allahs discipline of those
of His slaves who are well-mannered, trusting and khalifs.
Let us return to the wisdom under discussion
Know that universal matters which have no existence in themselves are without a doubt intelligible and known in the mind.
They are hidden and
continue in their invisible existence. These universal matters have
jurisdiction and effect on everything which has an individual
existence. Indeed, they are the same thing and nothing else, i.e. the
sources of existent individual things, and they continue to be
intelligible in themselves.
They are manifest in
respect of the sources of existent things just as they are hidden in
respect of their intelligibility. Each individual existent thing
depends on these universal matters which cannot be dislodged from the
intellect, nor would their existence be possible in the source once
they ceased to be intelligible, whether that individual existent is
in-time or out-of-time.
The relationship of that
which is in-time or out-of-time to this universal intelligible matter
is the same. This universal matter only has jurisdiction in individual
existent things according to what the realities of these individual
existent things demand of it. It is like the relationship of knowledge
to the knower, and life to the living. Life is an intelligible reality;
knowledge is an intelligible reality. Knowledge is as distinct from
life as life is distinct from knowledge.
So we say that Allah has
knowledge and life, and that He is the Living, the Knowing. We also
say that the angel has life and knowledge, and is living and knowing.
We say that man has life and knowledge, and is living and knowing.
The reality of
knowledge is one thing and the reality of life is another, and their
relationship to the knowing and the living is the same relationship. We
say that the knowledge of Allah is in non-time and the knowledge of man
is in-time. So look at the evaluation that this relationship has
brought about in this intelligible reality!
Examine this connection
between individual intelligibles and stence is necessary, rather, it is
necessary by another, not by itself. As knowledge determines the one
who participates in it - as he is called knowing - so the one who is
described by it can determine the knowledge. It is in-time in relation
to the one in-time and non-time in relation to the one in non-time. Each
of the two is determining and determined. It is known that these
universal matters, even if they are intelligible, lack a source although
they still have an authority.
When they are
determined, since they are ascribed to an individual existent thing,
they accept the principle in the existent sources and do not accept
distinction or fragmenting, for that is impossible for them. They
themselves are in everything described by them, as humanity is in every
person of this particular species, without distinction or the
numbering which affects individuals; and it continues to be
intelligible.
Now, as there is a
connection between that which has an individual existence and that
which does not have one - and it is a non-existent relationship - so the
connection of existents to each other is easier to conceive because,
in any case, there is a common factor between them which is individual
existence. In the other, there is no common factor, yet there is a
connection despite the lack of a common factor. So it is stronger and
more real when there is a common factor. Without a doubt, the in-time
establishes itself as being put into time and it needs something in time
to put it into time. It has no place in itself so it exists from
something other-than-it, and it is linked to That by the dependence of
need.
This dependence must be
on That whose existence is necessary, which is independent in Its
existence by Itself without need. It is That which, by Its own essence,
gives existence to the in-time which depends on It. Since the
existence of Its essence is necessary and what appears from It depends
on It for its essence, it nevertheless depends on its form for
everything which is from a name or attribute, except for the essential
necessity. That is not the property of it in-time, even if its
existence is necessary, rather, it is necessary by another, not by
itself.
Since the matter is
based on what we said about its manifestation in its form, Allah
communicates to us knowledge of Himself through contemplation of the
in-time. He tells us that He shows us His signs in the in-time, so we
draw conclusions about Him through ourselves. We do not describe Him
with any quality without also possessing that quality, with the
exception of that essential autonomy. Since we know Him by ourselves
and from ourselves, we attribute to Him all that we attribute to
ourselves.
For that reason, divine
communications came down on the tongues of our interpreters,and so He
described Himself to us through ourselves. When we witness, He witnesses
Himself. We are certainly numerous as individuals and species, yet we
are based on a single reality which unites us. So we certainly know
that there are distinctions between individuals. If there were not,
there would be no multiplicity in the One.
Similarly we are
described in all aspects by that by which He describes Himself, but
there must be a distinction and it is none other than our need of Him
in our existence. Our existence depends on Him by virtue of our
possibility and He is independent of that which makes us dependent on
Him. Because of this, one can apply before-timeness and timelessness to
Him which negates that first ness which is the opening to existence
from non-existence. Although He is the First, first ness is not
ascribed to Him, and for this reason, He is called the Last. Had His
first ness been the first ness of the existence of determination, it
would not have been valid for Him to be the Last of the determined
because the possible has no last - for possibilities are endless. So
they have no last. Rather, He is the Last because "the whole affair
will be returned to Him" (11:123) after its attribution to us. So He is
the Last in the source of His first ness and the First in the source
of His last ness.
Then know that Allah
has described Himself as the Outwardly Manifest and the Inwardly
Hidden; He brought the universe into existence as a Visible world and an
Unseen world so that we might know the Hidden by the Unseen and the
Manifest by the Visible. He described Himself with pleasure and wrath,
and so He brought the world into existence as a place of fear and hope -
so we fear His wrath and hope for His pleasure.
He described Himself
with majesty and beauty, so He brought the universe into existence with
awe and intimacy. It is the same for all that is connected with Him,
may He be exalted, and by which He calls Himself. He designates these
pairs of attributes by the two hands which He held out in the creation
of the Perfect Man.
Man sums up all the realities of the universe and its individuals.
So the universe is seen and the Khalif is unseen.
It is with this meaning
that the Sultan veils himself, even as Allah is mentioned and
described as having with veils of darkness, which are natural bodies,
and luminous veils which are subtle spirits (arwâh).
The universe is composed of both the gross and the subtle.
The universe is its own veil on itself and cannot perceive the Truth since it perceives itself.
It is continuously in a veil which is not removed, since it knows that it is distinct from its Creator by its need of Him.
It has no portion of that essential necessity which belongs to the existence of Allah, so it can never perceive Him.
In this respect, Allah is never fully known by the knowledge of tasting and witnessing because the in-time has no hold on that.
Allah only applied "between His two hands"
to Adam as a mark of
honor, and so He said to Iblis, "What prevented you prostrating to what
I created with My two Hands?" (38:76)
That is none other than
the union in Adam of the two forms - the form of the universe and the
form of the Real "Al-Haqq": and they are the two hands of Allah.
Iblis is only a fragment
of the universe and does not possess this comprehensive quality. It is
because of this quality that Adam was a khalif.
Had he not had the form
of the One who appointed him khalif, he would not have been khalif. If
there were not in him all that is in the world, and what his flocks,
over whom he is khalif, demand of him because of their dependence on
him - (and he must undertake all they need from him) -he would not have
been khalif over them.
The khalifate is only
valid for the Perfect Man, whose exterior form comes from the realities
of the universe and its forms, and whose inner form is based on His
form, may He be exalted!
For that reason, Allah
has said of him, "I am his hearing and his sight." He did not say, "his
eye and his ear."{ Allah describing His Eternal Support of his Hearing
and not the physical ear..}
So He differentiated
between the two forms. It is the same for every existent in the
universe which appears according to what the reality of that existent
demands of it.
Nonetheless no one totally comprehends what the khalif has.
One only surpasses
others by this comprehensiveness. If it were not for the diffusion of
Allah into the existents by the form, the universe would not have any
existence.
Similarly, were it not
for these universal intelligible realities, no principle would have
appeared in individual existent things. From this reality the universe
depends on Allah for its existence.
So all is in need, and nothing is independent.
This is the truth and we have not spoken metaphorically.
If I speak of a something independent without any need, you will know Who I mean by it.
The whole is tied to the whole and cannot be separated from it, so understand what I have said!
Now, you have learnt of the formation of the body of Adam
his outer form - and the formation of his spirit, his inner form, so he is "The Real" and a created being.
Now you have learnt of
the formation of his rank which is the comprehensiveness by virtue of
which he is worthy of the khalifate.
Adam is the unique self
from which the perfect human species was created according to His
words, "O mankind, be fearful of your Lord who created you from a
single self, and created its mate from it, and disseminated many men
and women from the two of them." (4:1)
His words, "Be fearful
of your Lord," mean to make of what has appeared from you a safeguard
for your Lord and make what is concealed of you, which is your Lord, a
safeguard for yourselves.
The matter consists of
blame and praise, so be His safeguard in the blame and your safeguard
in the praise, so that you will be among those of knowledge and adab.
Then He showed him what
He had placed in him, and He put that in His two hands - one handful
contained the universe and the other handful contained Adam and his
descendants - and He showed them their ranks in Adam.
Then Allah informed me in my inner heart (Sirr)
of what He placed in
this Imam, the great progenitor. I have put in this book some of what
was allotted to me but not all of what I realized.
A book could not
contain that and not even the present existent universe could contain
it. I have put some of what I have witnessed in this book, as the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, defined
it. It was the divine wisdom in the word of Adam, that is, this
chapter.
