THE MOHAMMADAN ASSEMBLY

Perhaps there is no such writing of Sultan Bahoo in which he has not mentioned the Mohammadan Assembly. According to his teachings, the Divine vision and eternal presence in the Mohammadan Assembly are two such sublime stages in the spiritual world that no other level is higher than these.

In the path of Reality, the Mohammadan Assembly guides and helps the seeker cover the stages of gnosis of Allah.

For the privileged Companions of the Holy Prophet, his sacred countenance was Ism-e-Allah Zaat and his sacred being was Ism-e-Mohammad. Now the only source to access the court of the Holy Prophet i.e. the Mohammadan Assembly, is contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and Ism-e-Mohammad provided it is acquired from the person who is spiritually permitted by the Holy Prophet to grant it.

The seeker can never find presence in the Mohammadan Assembly through the superficial daily devotional practices and recitals whether he continues performing hard mystic exercises throughout his life, as the guidance on the esoteric path is granted only by the perfect spiritual guide who has authority upon it.

Presence in the Mohammadan Assembly is the most important spiritual station which cannot be completely explained in words. This is the station of truth of certainty which can be comprehended only when one actually experiences it. He who reaches there, becomes familiar with its reality. Only after having presence in the Mohammadan Assembly, the seeker is blessed with the vision of Allah.

The manifestation of Reality began from the revelation of the Mohammadan light. All the creation came into being from this light. Therefore the 'origin' is the Mohammadan light. Hence, to return to origin is the utmost level. This is what is meant by the presence in the Mohammadan Assembly and this is actually the secret of guidance.

A disciple who harbours doubts about the Mohammadan Assembly can never find presence there. And if, by the beneficence of the spiritual guide, he enters this assembly, he cannot stay there due to his malicious inward.
