Journey through the Heart:
Divine Names of Creation
Video Transcript:
Salaam, alaikum everyone. Welcome. Peace be with you.And today I’d like to speak to you a little bit about the Divine names.for creation The there are four basic names that are needed for creation and they actually have a name they called the mother of the names. And the reason that these four Divine names are called the mother of the names is that Apart from the Divine name al-Ahad the Unmanifest oneness of Allah and al-Wahid the Manifest Oneness of Allah of God these these four Divine names are closest to the Divine Essence the reality of God.
So the out of these four basic names almost all of the other names came and these are the names that are needed for creation. So the first of these names and I’m going to talk about each one a little bit. And are al-Hayy H-A-Y-Y which means life or the living the one who lives forever. Because the first thing you need for creation is life right without life. There could be no creation because the Creator needs to be alive in order to create.
The second Divine name that will be looking at is AL Alim It’s the letter I in Arabic.In the English translation. We spell it A-L-I-M. And this is knowledge. So first you need to be alive in order to create and then you need the knowledge of what it is that you wish to create.
The third Divine name that’s needed for creation is Murid. Which is the Divine will so as well as life and knowledge in order to create you actually need to have the will or the desire to create something.
And then the fourth Divine name needed is al-Qadir, which is power or capability divine power capability.
So let’s talk a little bit about these four Divine names the first one as I said that’s needed for creation is al-Hayy. The living the one who lives forever spelled H- A –Y- Y in the English transliteration and this Divine name contains the quality of that which is alive beyond the ephemeral. It’s it is the eternal life. It contains the eternity of life without beginning or end Beyond time and space. And al-Hayy carries a high life energy, which is intensely activated by repetition. It gives us a strong force to the body and it stimulates the magnetism of the body the electromagnetic field almost unlike any other name.
and Sheikh ibn Al- Arabi who lived back in the 13th century. I believe in Andalusia. Who is known as the greatest Sheikh because of his knowledge and his mystical abilities? He explains this name al-Hayy in The Following way. He says after al-Wahid. That’s the Manifest Oneness of God and al-Ahad thata the unmanifest Oneness of God. Al-Hayy occupies the highest position of all Divine names all other Divine names can only enter reality.a manifestation after Allah has given al-Hayy life to the universe.
