The Incredible Virtue of Dhikr Erzurumlu Ibrahim Hakkı Hz. Audio Book (Marifetname) #dhikr #marifetname #audiobook #erzurumluibrahimhakkı * If ecstasy has not reached the dhikrer at first, his spiritual journey (seyr) first occurs on the four elements of his own body and from there the lights of ecstasy coming from the seven circles of his soul descend and these appear in him. When the dhikrer (zakir) comes to the element of earth; first he sees himself emerging from dark and narrow places like dust. He feels that he has ascended to high places like lofty mountains. After that, as this element is purified by the dhikr of Allah, he sees beautiful towns and clean dwellings like high castles. When it comes to the element of water, he initially sees himself in such murky water that he is unable to swim in that water out of fear. Later, when this element is purified by the dhikr of Allah, he sees rivers and crystal clear seas and swims across them all in the blink of an eye. When it passes over the element of air, it first sees itself in a vast space. Then, this element also flies in the air, colored with the colors of Allah, and takes pleasure. When it comes over the element of fire, it first sees itself in darkness and thick fires. Later, as this element is also purified by the dhikr of Allah, it sees itself in plain fire and takes great pleasure. When it passes from there through the stages of the soul and heart (atvâr) like the skies, it passes through the colors of man's seven spiritual senses (letâif-i seb'a) and reaches the encompassing light. Some saints have arranged and ranked the lights mentioned. They have known the color of each light as the secret of one subtlety out of the seven subtleties. The person who makes the dhikr (zakir) sees the color of the light of the soul, the color of blurred smoke; the color of the light of the heart, clean sky blue; the color of the light of the soul, red agate; the color of the light of the secret, plain yellow; the color of the light of the secret of the secret, pure white; the color of the light of the hâfi, pure black; He saw the color of the light of the trees as pure green and found them all descending from above his head. If the person who makes the dhikr (dhikr) remains in one of the lights of these stations, he is deprived of the encompassing light of Allah, who is beyond colors, shapes and aspects, which cannot be contained in time and under which all lights are lost. That light is the light of Muhammad, and whoever thinks of it as the encompassing divine light is mistaken. Because the dhikrers who observe it still have perception and consciousness. When it passes through perception and consciousness and its existence is taken from it, then divine manifestations are granted to it. Fanâ-fillah is that which desire and existence depart from it and become worthless (in the eyes of) knowledge. The verse, “Allah has made it clear, upholding justice, that there is no god but Him” (Aal-i Imran, 3/18) is known through it. Most of the saints have never explained the order of the colors of the mentioned lights, the shape and form of the states of the mentioned degrees, and have even ordered them to be removed from the mind. Because being busy with those lights and their degrees, watching for the times of their arrival, distinguishing their differences from one another and passing from one to another prevents the spiritual world of the person who makes the dhikr from observing the beauty of God and seeing the perfection of the Almighty Creator. It may happen that most of the mentioned lights are passed and the lights above him are opened to the person who has the ability to be enchanted by the dhikr. It often happens that the people of certainty never see the lights explained, but only the encompassing light described above manifests itself to them. He is neither detained by a discovery nor remains with an observation. He finds solace only in Him. Join this channel to benefit from privileges: / @antikkutuphanetasavvuf
