An Implicit Arabic and English Version - of the 5 Kalimah's of God for our age 7. An Explicit English Version of "Ill Allahu" - of "You are Allah", of the 5 Kalimah's for our age that have grown out of the recitation of "Ill Allahu", within the heart of this child, since the passing of His Holiness in 1986, out of the recitation of "Ill Allahu", when recited as One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him 8. Closing Comments and Prayer - understanding the 5 Kalimah's of our age Text of History of Spiritual Prayer 02 - continued 6. An Implicit Arabic and English Version - of the 5 Kalimah's of God for our age And this is how this child recited the Kalimah for years, first trying to do it alone without Bawa, then trying to do it without me, by tasking Bawa within me to do it, for us, and then as explained in the story above, by joining in partnership with Bawa, and with God within Him, to do it together as One, until as described in the January 12, 2002 Spiritual Letter 11, to Rumi Smith, Bawa changed what came after we said the word "Bawa", changing it first to, "Bawa, Ill Allahu (You are Allah)" "Bawa, La illaha (There is nothing other than You)" Then changing it to, "Bawa, Ill Allahu (You are Allah)" "Bawa, La illaha (There is nothing other than You)" "Bawa, Muhammadar Rasulullah (Muhammad is the Messenger of God)" Then changing it to, "Bawa, Ill Allahu (You are Allah)" "Bawa, La illaha (There is nothing other than You)" "Bawa, Muhammadar Rasulullah (Muhammad is the Messenger of God)" "Bawa, You are True Man" "Bawa, He is One" Then changing it to its current "Implicit Arabic and English Version" "Bawa, Ill Allahu (You are Allah)" "Bawa, La illaha (There is nothing other than You)" "Bawa, Muhammad Mustafah al-Rasul (Sal.) [Muhammad is the Chosen Messenger of God (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him]" "Bawa, You are True Man" "Bawa, He is One" 7. An Explicit English Version of "Ill Allahu" - of "You are Allah", of the 5 Kalimah's for our age that have grown out of the recitation of "Ill Allahu", within the heart of this child, since the passing of His Holiness in 1986, out of the recitation of "Ill Allahu", when recited as One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him Finally, changing to its equivalent "Explicit English Version", of "Ill Allahu", of "You are Allah", of the 5 Kalimah's for our age that have naturally grown out of the recitation of "Ill Allahu", when recited as One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, giving us, 1) "O Bawa, O God, You are Allahu". 2) "O Bawa, O God, There is nothing other than You" 3) "O Bawa, O God, Without You there is no other help, because I do not exist." 4) "O Bawa, O God, You are with me. Be inside my heart." 5) "O Bawa, O God, Do not be separated from me." Which came about in the following way, first by reading the following passage on page 85, in Chapter 25, "Dhikr", in the book by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "The exhaling of the breath through the left nostril is known as the 'Chandra kali' or the art of the moon breath. "In similar fashion, the breath is inhaled with the resonance of the words 'Ill Allahu', without raising the tongue, meaning, 'You are Allah. There is nothing other than You. Without You there is no other help, because I do not exist. You are with me. Be inside my heart. Do not be separated from me.'" "This is the meaning of making 'It' stay in the heart. This is done by inhaling the breath through the right nostril and establishing it in the heart. This is known as the 'Suriya kali' or the art of the sun breath." And then by gradually coming to realize that this wisdom explanation of "Ill Allahu", of the second part of the Kalimah, which His Holiness refers to in this Chapter as the "Suriya kalai" or the "art of the sun breath", provided us with an Explicit English Version of the Implicit Arabic and English Version of the 5 Kalimah's that have grown out of the recitation of "Ill Allahu", within the heart of this child, since the passing of His Holiness in 1986, when recited as One with Bawa, and with God within Him. Which naturally becomes God's answer to God's question in anathi within us, in the time before the beginningless beginning within us, which in truth is our current life of "separation and differences" in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, which naturally becomes Our answer to Our question, when this "Affirmation of the Unity of Allah", when this "Ill Allahu", is said as One with His Holiness, and with God within Him. When it is said as the Oneness of the "Three of Us", of the - Disciple, Shaikh, and God - living at the divine feet of God within us, which is the gift of God for our age, which is the Nur Muhammad, the Triple Flame of God for our age, which is - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen - for our age, which is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). When it is said as the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, when it is said as One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. For as Bawa teaches us in the book, "Questions of life - Answers of Wisdom" and as reproduced in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, "The word of God is "Ill Allahu". Recite this exalted word. It will be the treasure of your life. Recite this word with focus. Make it grow and see what happens." "Learn it and understand it with your wisdom. It will be good medicine for your life. It will be the beauty of your life. That beauty that will lead you to your Lord." 8. Closing Comments and Prayer - understanding the Kalimah of our age Saying the Kalimah in the traditional manner and direction, which is each of "us" separately trying to say the Kalimah starting with "La illaha" and ending with "Ill Allahu" verses starting to say the Kalimah by first invoking the "living presence of God" for our age, which is our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, in order to gather together the "Three of Us" - the Disciple, Shaikh, and God - within the "Three of God" within us - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen - is something we must consider and look into. In order to join as One with the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and to allow the 5 Kalimah's of God for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to naturally open and flow within us in the direction that returns us to the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, from which we have all come. This is the true gift of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and this is also the gift within the gift of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), and is something we must all consider and investigate, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed. May we all think about this a little. This wisdom point is very, very important. And this document is offered as a help in considering this important wisdom point, and if we like, in making this transition, from "working for wages to get into heaven" to joining in partnership with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to complete what God and True Man have started within us, to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us, within the dunya or earth world within us, and to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, which is akhirah or the hereafter within us. Revealing in this way, the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. In order to awaken the understanding of the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within us, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed on the forehead of Adam (A.S.) within us, and by starting all of this with "Ill Allahu", followed by "La illaha", and then "Muhammad Mustafah al-Rasul (Sal.), and ending it with "You are True Man", and "He is One", all of which can be better understood by keeping the following observations in mind. Saying the Kalimah in the traditional way, is like saying it from "here" looking at "there", wanting what is "there", while saying the Kalimah as the gathering of the "Three of Us" together as One within the "Three of God" within us, within the Triple Flame of God within us, within the Nur Muhammad within us, is like saying it from "there" being "here", with "here" being "who you are", with "here" being what is within us, which is "who we are", with "here" being the Oneness of God and the Creation of God within us, and with "there" being what is within God, which is "who God is", with "there" being the Oneness of True Man and the Creation of True Man within us. In this way, first establishing God within us, by joining as One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to "steady God" within us, by joining as One to say, "Ill Allahu - You are Allah", and then by letting it expand within us, from the Iman or absolute faith, certitude, and determination that "God alone exist" within us, in the heart where "God is One", into the Qutbiyyat of God within us, into the power and action of God within us, into the 99 wilayat of God within us, into the truth of "La illaha - there is nothing other than You", into the wisdom of God that analyzes, controls, and explains, and then into the Nur Muhammad within us, the Light of God, the Light of Allahu within us, into "Muhammad Mustafah al-Rasul (Sal.) - Muhammad is the Chosen Messenger of God (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him)". Awakening in this way, the sukun, the circle containing the 18,000 universes within the "mim" within us, within Muhammad (Sal.) within us, establishing within us, "You are True Man", establishing Allah Muhammad within us as the pillar of the sukun of the "mim" within us, making our life eternal, which in maturity within us is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, affirming in this way, that "He is One". And in this way, and only in this way, transforming the "mim" within us into akhirah or the hereafter within us, and finally, revealing God within akhirah within us, within the Creation of True Man within us, and in this way, revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, both of which are hidden within us, like the "oneness of the apple and the apple tree", are in truth the apple and the apple tree, both of which are hidden within the apple seed. In this way, may God help us all, may God fill our hearts with His grace, to dispel the darkness within us, and to awaken us to the truth of us, to the "Oneness of God and True Man" hidden within our current life of "separation and differences". May God help us all in this way, if that be our true intention. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
