Secrets of Mansur al Hallaj and Reality
Separation is for the realization.Realization to the true way of love.
The love that wants nothing,
The love that needs none,
Not even the beloved.
Because in such a state of reality
lover and beloved is not two,
Separate? Never!
but two becomes one.
Together, ever!
Behold! that is the secret of sufi
Mansur al Hallaj's saying,
'Anal Haqq',
Lo! A true lover in total submission and annihilation.
Merged in Divine Love of the ultimate Beloved.

Mansur Al Hallaj (c. 858 - March 26, 922) is one of the most celebrated yet misunderstood mystic that mankind ever had. He was and is celebrated by all true mystics and lovers of God, who understood what he meant exactly, while people of blind faith totally misunderstood because of the blindness in their hearts.
Mansur al Hallaj, May Allah sanctify his soul, was crucified for his saying, "Anal Haqq", (Haqq being the name of Allah, literally haqq in arabic means reality, truth) in a state of Fana or Final state of Nirvana.
Those theologian who sentenced him to death (initially they all refused to even judge on him) on the charge of herecy even accepted that Mansur was right from the knowledge of Hidden (ilmul Ghayeb) perspective. But he spoke something which was not meant to be spoken in public, the collective consciousness of human race was not yet ready for it.
He spoke something in which lies greatest secret of the cosmos. The secret that was once open to mankind through Upanishd, Gita but made apparently hidden in the middle, but again will made manifest in final days.
Hints was always there hidden in Prophet Muhammad's mystical saying that,
"He who know himself, knows Allah."
Also, "God says, man is my secret and I am his secret."

Also, "God says, man is my secret and I am his secret."
Jesus said, "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you"
Perhaps the secret can also be found if we see why God often speaks in terms of 'We' in Quran, not 'I'.
Also we find in Quran, And be ye not like those who forgot God; and He made them forget their own souls! (The Quran, 59:19)
No more can I speak. If you truly wants to realize the ocean of wisdom of what I just mentioned, I can teach one beautiful prayer of our beloved Prophet, Muhammad "O Lord, show me 'things' as they really are."
I pray with you all so that The One show us things as they really are. No other prayer you will ever need to seek and realize the truths and The Ultimate Truth (Al Haqq).
May Allah bless Muhammad and his holy households, and May Allah send millions of saalams upon him and them.

lovely.
Sadiq, I am hosting the Progressive Faith Blog Carnival this weekend (details at my blog). Can I link this post? Or do you have another post you would prefer me to use?
glorious poetry and wonderful observations. the foto is beautiful, too.
Assalaam alaikum,
Thanks for this awe-inspiring post, br. Sadiq
Can't help but share one of Mansur al Hallaj's sublime descriptions of Divine Love, he says:
"Love is that you remain standing in front of your Beloved:
When you are deprived of all your attributes,
Then His attributes become your qualities."
May Allah(SWT) reward you immeasurably... Amen

Beloved Tiel,
You honor me beyond bounds. Feel free to use any link from my blog. You are my dear sister and dear friend. You never need to ask me anything. Everthing that i have belongs to you as well.
With all the love the heaven and earth can ever hold.
Assalamu Alaikum
You have a beautiful site.
When I read these quotes for the first time I instantly interpreted them differently from you.
God’s message on the Quran is revealed to prophet Muhammad (peace be to him) by Angel Gibril(peace be to him) therefore “we” refers to the angels.
"He who know himself, knows Allah." – We have to reflect on the creation to know the creator – this is how prophet Abraham(peace be to him) knew God.
Saalam Azmina,
Thanks for your comment.
indeed the creation is the manifestation of God's glory, thats why its the most obvious clue for the seeker.
yet,the Divine Mercy is what brings people to recognize God. So many ppl have eyes, yet they are so utterly blind in their heart. they also see the creation, yet they fail to realize to.
So end of the day, its the Infinite Mercy of God to which we turn and rely upon. Nothing else works best.
Assalamou Alaikoum
Brother Sadiq
Your site is one of the best I have surfed, Thanks for being so inspirational. You touch our hearts with your words. And give a mystical glimpse of things.
Could you translate the following:
Show me things as they really are
as in the duah of Mansur Al Hajjaj
Thanks
Mansoor's duah is to stay at that blissful state where the realization of being a part of God is permanent.
I agree with what Mansur-al-hallaj.
Duality is opposed to Divinity.
Self alone is the Universal fact.
All apparent things are creation of the mind. In short " You are that"
