WHY SOMEONE SLEEP
Sleep is a reflection / uncontrolled action happen to all
human being. In Islamic teaching sleep
is considered as a brother of death. Allah reveals this reflection for mankind
as a comparative course for those who want to study about death.
Allah says explaining
about both of death and sleep:
WHAT HAPPEN WHILE SOMEONE SLEEP
When someone sleep, his physical potential will be lost
contact with his surrounding. . With his closed eyes, his soul start to has
capable to see a space of unseen realm .
1)
SEEING THE UNSEEN DURING
THE SLEEP
Allah prepare human being with a power to trace a certain space of unseen. This human capable can be occurred through his sleep.
While someone sleep. his soul get away from the body and see something hidden
in unseen space. The soul pick up interesting or beautiful information
he find and sent it to inside the
inner. The body receive info in the form of symbolic illustration . The veiled meaning of symbolic
illustration put human being remain in covered /ignorance of his future
In common, people
always forget about dreams he found during his sleep time soon after the
sun raise in morning.
This means his dream has not been saved properly in his
memory. In other word, we can say that symbolic reflection that can provide useful
information for himself get away from that box . there are something make it not feel free to stay inside the box
.In Sufism perception , this show the disabilities of sleeper in grasping self information
that had already come.
This caused difficulties in interpretation the dream . so that people lost to understand the received
messages. Only some people can catch up
the interpretation of dream while most of them are absorb in their self
indulgence. in briefly, we can conclude here that dream appeared on the screen of inner when
someone sleep is so varied complicated reflection of inner. So the discussion
of how someone can grasp the true information during sleep is a very difficult
course . this difficult course can make as a basic studying of understanding about death.
. In other word, how
to make the mind has able to understand
the interpretation of his dream is a .
WHEN SOMEONE MAKE ZIKIR , HE HAS ABLE TO TRACE UNSEEN
BECAUSE THE JOURNEY OF RECITING ZIKIR IS
A PART OF JOURNEY REALLY LIKE JOUNEY OF
SLEEP
When a spiritual traveler began to recite a certain zikir of asma ulLah al
husna, his soul start to takeoff from
its site , uplifting –in facts when someone go to somewhere, there must be a destination
he attend towards.
Term of tasbih in Arabic literally refers to swimming or
travel in the sea. Once someone start his departure from beach A , he can see
clearly that phenomena of A beach is left behind far and more far. --. When his
travel moving on , the beach become disappeared, when he go straight, he would find
in his forward beach B, then he would find himself come more and more closer to
beach B. finally he will reach to new beach. This is likely happened to sleep. Before someone sleep his opened eye
see beach A. When his closed eye in
sleep make his soul out away the physical body, his inner eye open and see
beach B. beach A is in seen world while beach is in unseen world. In the beach B, the soul pick up interesting
or beautiful information he find and sent it to inside the inner. The body receive info in
the form of symbolic illustration . The
veiled meaning of symbolic illustration
put human being remain in covered
/ignorance of his future
The ability of soul to understand matter it saw in the sky
of unseen is depend on his concentration he performs during his time of
recitation that particular zikir. Level of concentration in reciting zikir is
mostly like duty of petrol for any vehicles. Commonly speaking more higher
concentration can share to make soul to
has more capable to to travel more far
in higher sky to trace the matter.however, there are some other conditions must be applied by traveler to tour more higher to unseen sky
through his inner self.
Someone who keep his soul and mind continuously with
zikrullah, he can improve the journey of his inner to more further extra extend from taqlid to shuhud
For the beginner in
spiritual travelling, commonly after
two or three months of consistently exercise , he would be gifted with some
symbolic films appear in his inner
screen. So , his feel start to touch the sweetness of the secret of zikir Allah
Allah, in this step, his outward fill make the traveler to observe the commands
of Allah and left the forbidden while his inward feel educate him to
attribute with the character of praised
(mahmudiyyah) and become more constancy in practice this spiritual exercise.
This level is called as at tajalli al fe`ley.
By the end of this
journey, he has able to watch with his inner eye that Allah do everything. You also can see yourself remain along
together with Allah . al qushairey said: you demolish your attribute of
mazmumah and stand yourself up within
the attribute of mahmudah.
As we had already
emphasized in earlier chapter
that the symbolic illustration or
meaningful film that appeared on the screen
of his inner had be raised from different levels of inner selves. The most away ( very outward) is
mind and followed in middle by jiwa and
most deeply ( very inward) is soul. Illustration raised from his soul level just able to appear on the screen when
he pay full concentration to his aim and
carry off all the foolish actions of all the worldly object from your inner
self. Multiple or overlaps intention or
desire could not able to give enough
power for soul to appear on the screen.
This lower level of concentration give a lot number of ideas ,desire and esteem
from mind and jiwa levels come to block
the ideas from soul level. In fact, Soul stand veiled which its location
is in a corner much far behind any other
inner entities. It is simply like when someone change his intention , he do not
receive the real meaning .
When he grap the meaning of that symbolic film, it must to
get the truth. But the blurred
reflections come always in the his inner
screen. Here only some people can catch
up the interpretation of that symbolic film while most of them absorb in their
self indulgence.
