Divine presence is the state of being present inwardly in front of Allah during all forms of worship after detaching from every other thing and relation. Without it no worship is acceptable in His court rather it becomes pretence. Allah says in Quran: "Certainly the believers have attained their goal. Those who become most humble and submissive in their salat." (23:1-2) It is the saying of Prophet Mohammad pbuh "No salat without the presence of inward." Divine presence is accomplished through perpetual invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat because unless and until inciting innerself dies,inward is not vivified and it is this enlivened inward which leads to presence. A time comes when inward gains eternal presence through invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and then the seeker of Allah experiences the state: Meaning: So whichever direction you turn to, there is the Divine Countenance. "Salat is Miraj (Divine vision) for the believers".(2:115) This Hadith proves that salat is the Miraj (Divine vision) for a true believer but not for a Muslim. Who is a true believer and who is a Muslim? Once Prophet Mohammad pbuh was distributing war wealth. There were some Bedouins who were newly converts. They said to the Prophet, “O Master! We are also true believers hence bless us like you are blessing other believers.” The following verse was revealed in answer: The Bedouins say, “We have believed.” Say, “You have not believed. Rather say, ‘We have accepted Islam (recited shahada verbally).’ And the belief has not yet gone into your inwards (you have not verified inwardly).” (49:14) Allama Iqbal writes: بے حضوری ہے تیری موت کا راز زندہ ہے تو تُو بے حضور نہیں Explanation: Your soul is weak because it is void of Divine presence. Once it gains life, it will surely attain eternal presence. (Bal-e-Jibril) | |
