This Maraqbah(Meditation) is the first step. One finds one’s Rooh(Soul) standing in front of the magnificent gate of a radiant white building, standing on its lofty columns, above the skies and at the entrance to the Majestic Throne (the ‘Arsh). I won’t go into further detail so that some peddler, after reading everything about it, doesn’t use it to promote his own goods. The Tasbeeh(Recitation) (of Ahadiyyat) is:

Fa IzUllah Munazzah, bay Choon-o Chagoon Wa Ilah-o kum Ilahun Wahid Wahdahu la Shareeka laka ya Allah

Here, the realization of Divine Unity becomes very intense and the Qalb (Heart) is freed from the thought of Ghair Allah (any one other than Allah). As the Tasbeeh(Recitation) starting from addressing the absent pronoun (he) turns towards addressing the present pronoun (you), the Zakir(One who remembers the Divine Being) expressing the Tauheed (Oneness) of Allah-swt experiences Divine Presence and therefore submits in the form of the present pronoun (you). This feeling of Divine Tauheed (Unity) allays all worries and grants peace of mind and happiness.
