Question: How far is the boundary of Duniyah?
Answer (By Imam Ahmad Rida)
The seven skies and seven earths are Duniyah. Besides this the Sidratul Muntah (The Furthest Lote Tree), Arsh and Kursi (Divine Throne) is Dar Al-Aakhirah (Abode of Hereafter). Dar Al-Duniyah (Abode of the world) is Shahaadah (can be witnessed) and Dar Al-Aakhirah is Ghayb (hidden). The keys of Ghayb are called Mafaatih and the keys of Shahaadah are Maqaalid. The Qur’an testifies:
“It is Allah who has the Mafaatih (keys) of Ghayb, besides Allah no one (personally) has the knowledge of it” (Surah An’aam, 59)
Another Ayah states:
“And for Allah are the Maqaalid (keys) of the skies and earth” (Surah Zumar, 63)
The 1st letter of Mafaatih is Meem and the last is Ha (greater Ha of Arabic). The first letter of Maqaalid is Meem and the last is Daal.
When all four letters are joined we get the word – Muhammad – (sallAllahu alaihi wasallam).
This can only point out to two things. Either all the secret keys of Shahaadah and Ghayb were given to him and are under the Beloved’s (sallAllahu Alaihi wasallam) supreme control or the mysteries of Shahaadah and Ghayb were locked in the Arcane Chambers.
The keys to open these secret chambers and bring them from non-existence to existence is the personality of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallAllahu alaihi wasallam). Had the Lord of Power not created him, then all the Treasures of Allah would have been still concealed in the Arcane Chambers and unknown to the world.
