Sultan Bahoo strictly believes in the ‘eternal existence’ of the Holy Prophet. He says:
- How can such a person be considered a Muslim, faithful or a follower of the HolyProphet who does not believe that the Holy Prophet is alive! No doubt, such a person is a lair, faithless and a hypocrite, whoever he is.
- Presence in the Mohammadan Assembly is achieved through the contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and Ism-e-Mohammad.
He further says:
Unless the seeker becomes spiritually mature by performing four kinds of invocation, he does not qualify for the presence in the Mohammadan Assembly. First is the declining invocation; on the commencement of this invocation, all the major and minor creations are inclined towards the reciter. A number of disciples and seekers adopt this invocation but when it reaches its peak, most of the disciples and seekers leave it being spiritually demoted and repulsed (as they cannot bear its effects and are depraved by the Satan) and say, “We repent thousand times from such an invocation.” Only that true seeker remains steadfast who purely desires to have gnosis and union with Allah. Second is the eternal invocation which is called the invocation of marvels. From the outset of this invocation, all the angels are attracted towards the reciter and armies of angels gather around him. The twin recording angels Kiraman Katibin give him inspirations about every good and bad and keep him away from sins. When this invocation reaches its peak (the seeker gets accomplished in it), the third invocation starts which is called the invocation of Divine union. This invocation takes the seeker to the assembly of Prophets and Saints esoterically and he is blessed with the Divine union. When the seeker united with Allah becomes accomplished in this invocation, the fourth invocation begins which is called the invocation of spiritual states. While performing this invocation, the seeker is blessed with the theophanies of light of the Divine Essence and is raised to the level of annihilation in Allah and becomes immortal with Him. After crossing these four levels of invocation, the seeker becomes eligible for the presence in the Mohammadan Assembly.
You must know that the special Mohammadan Assembly is held at nine places according to the respective levels and stations. At every station, it is perfect and complete in itself. These stations are:
1. The pre-existence
2. The eternal end
3. At the tomb of the Holy Prophet in Madina
4. In the sanctuary of Kaaba or in the plain of Mount Arafat where the prayers of hajj are accepted
5. Above the Throne
6. At the station of extreme nearness to Allah (qab qausain)
7. In the paradise. If the seeker eats or drinks something from there, he never feels hunger, thirst or the need to sleep in his life again
8. At the pond of Kauther in heaven where if the seeker is blessed to have the holy beverage from the hands of the Holy Prophet, his whole being is purified and he acquires the attributes of renunciation of the world and complete trust upon Allah. Then crossing the levels of separation and isolation by the favour of Allah, he reaches the station of Oneness where he is blessed with the Divine company
9. At the level of complete immersion in the light of Lordship after having the privilege of Divine vision.
Presence in the Mohammadan Assembly is the most important station which cannot be completely explained in words. This is the destination of truth of certainty which is known only when one actually experiences it. He becomes familiar to its reality who achieves it and is blessed with the Divine vision. The seeker is conferred upon the union with Allah after having presence in the Mohammadan Assembly.
