You can never die!




Oh thou, blessed one, child of Allah, made in that image and likeness, yet of your own unique expression…

Know that you have been made by God's Mercy and you will not be unmade; as a star you shine ceaselessly and are forever known by the knower of knowers (Ya Allah -Ya Khabir). You are ever evolving, burning, turning, creating (Ya Bari), and when your star being ceases shining its light outwardly in the manifest world, its light remains and goes on shining ever brighter in the inner world - it is mingled everlastingly in the fabric of manifested intelligences. So, your existence does never cease to exist, its shining turned but inward (Ya Batin), still participating in creation (Ya Khaliq) and birthing new existences (Ya Zahir – Ya Mawjud) - New souls, stars and universes. Ah, recognized or not, we Humans shine outwardly and inwardly as bright as any star in the universe of Allah’s being, and if perchance we think we lose this existence, nothing is lost except our separation.

Ibn al Arabi writes: “And most of those who [claim] to know Allah, make a ceasing of existence and the ceasing of that ceasing a condition of attaining the knowledge of Allah, and that is an error and a clear oversight.  For the knowledge of Allah does not presuppose the ceasing of existence nor the ceasing of that ceasing. For things have no existence [other than Allah], and what does not exist [separately] cannot cease to exist. For the ceasing to be implies the positing of existence [other than Allah] and that is polytheism.  So, if thou knoweth thyself without existence or ceasing to be, then though knowest God; and if not – then not.”
