Insaniyat-Barzakh 2
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
ALAM E MITHAL/BARZACK (between the alam-i arwah and the alam-i ajsad)
But there is no being in the alam-i mithal. Only, it is like a mirror for the beings in the alam-i arwah and the alam-i ajsad. When dreaming, the sorrows, the pains, the troubles in the alam-i mithal are seen.
SLEEP—The place where the soul will travel is the alam-i mithal. There are interesting, sweet things to be seen in this alam. Not so is the case with the soul’s leaving the body when dying. It is for this reason that there is no trouble or pain in its leaving the body when sleeping. On the contrary, there is happiness and comfort. But there are many pains, hardships in its leaving the body when dying.
The ingredient “air” is related to the spirit (ruh).when spirit ascends from the body air takes its place in the body.
And the copy of alam-i mithal in alam-i saghir is man’s imagination. For everything has a copy in our imagination.
When the soul parts from the body ,There is no connection between it and the alam-i mithal. Only, at times when Allahu ta’ala wishes, some states of the soul are seen in the mirror of this alam. This helps understand if the states of the soul are good or bad. Kashfs and dreams happen in this manner.
3.ALAM E AJSAD(the world of substances)
The world of mumkinat/creatures .Things being in these are not only appearances. They themselves exist, too.
intellect (`aql) sits in its place [the place of the soul in inner peace]
bodily heart depends on the translator ( intellect).The ingredient water is inter-related with heart .
I have made every living thing from water.(21/30)
When the soul is united with the body it falls in love with the body(dark frame) and descends into this alam.
We are made of matter, and live among material beings. Beings that are made of matter consist of the seven skies and the kursi and arsh. The outermost one is the arsh. Each layer is very much larger than the one within it. It is like the greatness of the ocean in comparison to a drop of water. There is no matter outside the ninth layer, which is the arsh. Classes of material beings that consist of the nine layers are called “alam-i khalq.”
‘Khalq’ means dimension/matter. Alam-i khalq was created in seven days/phases.
The building stone of alam-i khalq is matter.
Everything that gives pleasure to the body, gives pain to the soul. Everything that hurts the body, tastes sweet to the soul
Man=”Alam-i saghir/microcosm.
Everything outside =alam-i kabir/macrocosm (has a copy in man).
Ilm e zaahir accepted by brain.
Ilm e baatin accepted by heart.
