the Name 'alim represents the secret of the yā' of the vocative ( yā' al-nidā' ). And it is a link (between the person

 And since the holy spirit that corresponded to 'Īsà 1 , peace be upon him!, was a vestige of the
revelatory breath of Ŷabrā'īl to Ādam, for 'Īsà was the wisest of the prophets knowing the details of the
sciences and the subtleties of Wisdom. And among the noblest of his knowledge was the science of letters,
and that is where his name comes from, since his divine gift ( imma ) resides in it, indicating the letter 'ayn
Science, the yā' the grace of revelation descended, the sin the points of union of what is divided and the
alif the absolute knowledge. And [the name 'Īsà] has the number 141, which is precisely the value of the
Name 'Scholar' ( 'ālim ), but since he had knowledge of hidden things, and that is being 'alīm , then his
name is written with the letter yā' 2 , and thus their number equals 150, which is the value of 'alīm . Meditate
on that, for God speaks the Truth and He guides the way.

The names of the letters [of His Name ' Alīm ] add up to 302 , which alludes to His Name ' Seer ' p. 259
( B a ½ ī r ). Y d a d or what _ he to science _ _ _ _ _ _ ( ' ilm ) _ it is u n yes gn or i n heren t e _ _ d e he to
a p a r i e n c i a e xt e r n a _ of him _ ob je t o of knowledge , and that the acquisition of a concept entails
the totality of its visible aspect, that is, it is the acquisition of the external image of the object in the mind,
since the meaning of 'Alīm is necessarily that before whom the essence manifests itself . of each thing in
the totality of its external form as well as in its hidden essence. That is one of the secrets in which the
intensification by the letter wāw is not pertinent , due to its importance and its height that reaches the
extreme of the limits and reaches the totality of existence. So its intensification is only possible through one
of these two options: either with the reduplication of a consonant, as in saying 'allām , which refers to one
a
who has acquired a large amount of knowledge. Or with the letter yā' , which alludes to the descent into the
revelation of the most subtle details of a notion and the perception of its hidden aspects. Therefore only one
who knows the details of a concept in the same way that he knows its more general aspects, and knows its
hidden aspects in the same way as its visible aspects, is called 'alīm . That is why God said, exalted be he!:
﴾ Above all possessor of knowledge there is a knower ﴿ , so the possessor of knowledge ( ²ū-l-'ilm ) is
3

the one who knows the general aspects of things and the knower ( 'alīm ) is the one who knows their
particular aspects; the possessor of science is the one who knows the external aspects of things and the
knower is the one who knows their internal aspects; the possessor of science is the one who knows the
evident aspects of things and the knower is the one who also knows their hidden aspects. The meaning of
this yā' has been indecipherable for many judicious people, since the most unknown of His Science are the
most particular aspects, and this is noted in His words ﴾ By over of all holder of knowledge there are a
Knowledgest ﴿ .

And you should know that the superiority of some sages over others is not the result of acquiring
b
a greater number of knowledge, since if so, he would have said "above all possessors of knowledge there
is a sage who knows more ( 'allām ) . ”, and rather it has to do with the acquisition of the particular notions
of the intelligibles and the hidden parts of their secrets. Now, the multitude of knowledge together with the
detailed knowledge of the same results in wisdom superiority, but without this last type of knowledge,
superiority does not take place. This is the meaning

from the words of God when he said to His prophet Mūsà, peace be upon him!: “ We have a servant at the
intersection of two large rivers, a who call al-Jir, that it is plus wise that you ” 1 . Al-JiÅr No it was wiser
than Mūsà for knowing more things, which is improbable since God has said about Mūsà: ﴾ and we write
for the in the Boards a exhortation for all Y a Explanation for all ﴿ 2 , So that rather, it refers to al-JiÅr
knowing the hidden aspects of things in the same way that he knew their visible aspects. For this reason,
his place was at the point of confluence of two great rivers, which were the river of the visible and the river
of the hidden, so Mūsà knew that al-JiÅr was in possession of a gnosis that he did not possessed.

You who study these words, focus your efforts on expanding your knowledge 3 , for this is what
c
God, praised and exalted be He, ordered His prophet to ask for with His saying: ﴾ Say: Lord! Grant me
more knowledge ﴿ 4 . Meditate on these spiritual words and dispose of these divine subtleties, of these gifts
of faith and of these sources of light, because you will find immense happiness in those knowledges that
contain allusions, and God is the most wise!

SECTION TWENTY-SIX ABOUT HIS NAME : ' WHO HUMILIATES ' ( Mu²ill )

Whoever undertakes the ²ikr of this Name of sublime essence, God, exalted be He, makes the
powerful and people whom He wants to humble themselves before him.
His ²ikr is very convenient for someone who cannot control his beast of burden or cannot deal with
any of the creatures.

1
In its mystical value, the aspiration designates the attention of the heart and its firm intention to reach
perfection (N URBAKHSH , Sufi Symbolism , i, p. 259).
2
Alluding to the following Koranic quote.
327
3
Cor . ix:33.

328
 Whoever undertakes the ²ikr of this Name, let him do so after fasting for three days, the last day
being a Thursday. Then he will fast on Friday night and pray two rak'ats , both with the Fāti¬a, and at the
time of prostration in each of them he will recite this Name one hundred times. And after pronouncing the
final greeting, he will recite the Name a thousand times and say: "Oh Who humiliates, make him humble
himself before me So-and-so son of So-and-so", because really that person will lower himself before him
and no one will cross him in matter some.

And you should know that whoever recites it with the purity of the mystical moment and the
attention of the spiritual momentum, the strength that resides in him is granted, but he will not achieve
anything if sincerity in Attention ( al-tawajjuh ) does not take place.

S UTILITY : when the people of intuitions witnessed with the ears of their hearts the letter b
²āl _ _ of the modesty ( a l- ² ull ) So What the position that occupied regard a the l ā m of the Subtlety (
a l-lu Ð f ) and their bond with her, they understood that there is no way to reach Him except through the
path of humility. So they stooped down to being like dogs eating from dumps, and that made them get that
magnificence that doesn't stop or stop. And finally they got rid of the imposition of having to humble
themselves before someone who is not God when they came to know a Faith and witnessed a Benevolence
according to which God is the only one who humiliates.

The number 800 corresponds to this Name, an even number that indicates the oddness in a nucleus c
( lubb ) resulting from multiplying an elongated number by a squared number, and it is one of the abundant
numbers, since its divisors add up to 1096 1 . With the six he alludes to the greatness ( 'ulw ) of the letter w
ā w , with the ninety a the eternity ( ½ a ma dā ni yy a ) _ _ of the ½ād , _ _ Y with the one thousand to the
predominance ( gā lib a ) _ of the gayn and its covering ( gamm ). And when [ gayn ] is the first, then the
wealth ( ganāt ) of man results from this, as this number [1096] is equivalent to the letters mīm , gayn ,
nūn and wāw , when the letters mīm , gayn and nūn are of His Name 'Enricher' ( Mugnī ), in which we do
not count the letter yā' due to his descent, since He is the one who descends before someone making him
humble himself. So the letter wāw becomes the substitute for yā' , thus indicating the richness of whose
characteristics results in the ability to humiliate. Meditate on that, because God guides whoever he wants
towards the right path.

And the names of the letters of this Name add up to 892, a number that is equivalent to two glorious
Names: 'Lord of strength' ( ®ū-l-Quwa ) and 'Majestic' ( Māyid ), since the decisive force corresponds to
this Name. , and has a magic square of sublime power and enormous benefits. And it is the following:

through inspiration ( ilhām ), which constitutes the teaching of the meanings of the one who is listened to,
the presence of the Inspirer in this is necessary. dwelling.

Given that the Moon it is the place epiphanic of Name 'the Saying', well in its sphere I know

Ādam, since he is the owner of the science of Names. And in it is the House of Magnificence ( bayt al-

epiphanic place of the Name 'the Presto' ( al-Sarī' ), from where both the names Qamar and Sarī' are
equivalent to 340. And since 'the Listener' it is inextricably linked to the 'Dicente', with the names of its
letters it alludes to its epiphanic place, which is the moon, and to the Name manifested in it, which is 'el
Presto' 4 . Meditate on that, for God speaks the Truth and He guides the way.

Whoever performs the ²ikr of this glorious Name, God honors him to the point that he does not
have to humble himself before anyone other than Him, and he is loved by everyone who sees him. If you
are endowed with a good spiritual condition, God strengthens you with His help, endows you with the
eloquence of Wisdom and makes you aware of the finer details of the sciences. And his ²ikr is very useful
for one who is called 'Alī, God, praised and exalted, knows better!

And you should know that a certain teacher, God have mercy on him!, said that whoever surrenders
to his ²ikr , God extols his power, elevates his honor, is loved by all, whoever is hostile to him submits to
him, and perceives in the course of his life the dignity and in himself the superiority. And in it resides an
extraordinary secret for teachers, sages and students of high sciences and sublime matters.

invocations and one of the most perfect mysteries. And you must know that whoever harmonizes both
Names in a square, engraving it on a gold seal that he will carry with him and perfuming it with an aloe and
amber stick, really whoever sees him bows before him. Kings were already doing it from the time of al-
Saffā¬ 1 to the present day, and God was consolidating his kingdom and extending his domain.

They asked al-Ma'mūn 2 : "What would you do if the Persian kings came for you?" Then he took
out a seal in which both Names were harmonized and said: "They would have no power over us while this
square is with us." It is the following square, and the appropriate time to compose it is at the height of [...]:

And this glorious Name has the number 120. The twenty is a symbol of the manifestation in the
high place, and the hundred is a symbol of the concealment through what is manifested in it, together with
the absolute dominion. ( a li ¬ ā Ð a ), well said God: ﴾ Y God behind _ _ _ of they the r ode to . This it is one
to p r edic a tion glo r ios to on a preserved table ﴿ 3 . And since His manifestation in everything constitutes
its existence and His concealment constitutes His elevation, then this is the result of His wisdom ( ¬ikma
). And since the numerical value alludes to His characterization with Wisdom, for God has described with
wisdom that whose attribute is altitude. Said God, exalted be he!: ﴾ It is found in the Mother of the Book,
before Us it is elevated, wise ﴿ 4 .

Said number is even from even and odd and abundant, whose divisors add up to 240, which is
double 120, as if it were said 'Alī 'Alī , or 'Alī huwa al-©akīm . Meditate on that, because God grants His a

Whoever performs the continuous ²ikr of this sublime Name during a journey, God protects him
until he returns home.
Whoever arranges it [in a magic square] on a sheet of silver while Jupiter is at its peak, any place
where he places it will be safe from what he fears may happen.
Whoever recites it continuously is protected in all circumstances.

And you should know that this Name is quick to respond when it is recited by the person who is a
afraid on trips, not failing to recite it as he passes through dangerous places, because God does not allow
him to be exposed to what is harmful to him. I myself, finding myself in dangerous areas of robbers and
looters, have surrendered to their ²ikr , and have seen prodigious things by the work of God that no one
could ever understand.

Whoever engraves it on a silver seal that they will carry with them, harmonizing [in a square] their
numerical values and their letters inserted in the seal, nothing bad can happen to them, even if they sleep in
the places where wild animals live. To this he must add the recitation “O Guardian, protect me”. As for the
square of the letters and the numerical square, they are the following:

Y I know us he has transmitted in a ¬ a dī £ reliable ( ½ to ¬ ī ¬ ) that who recites the ayah of Throne
to the leave your home, nothing bad can happen to you until you return 1 .

Said al-Kirmānī 2 : "Whoever gives part of his goods as alms to the poor before leaving home,
distributing them among seven needy, because that will be the reason for his safety on the road." Meditate
on that, because God is the One who grants help and success in what pleases him.

A group of people came across a man sleeping in a lion's den with his horse grazing beside him,
so they woke him up and said, "Aren't you afraid to sleep in a place like this, where animals roam?" wild?".
Then he raised his head and said: "I am ashamed to fear who is not He."

Y a who achieves the Realization ( ta¬aqquq ) through East Name of sublime can, God I c
protects in all his circumstances, as told of Abū 'Alī b. al-Daqqāq , God be pleased with him!, who said:

“A certain devout person inherited ten thousand dinars, and he said: My God, I need that money, but I can't
find a proper way to keep it, so I give it to you to You, so that you can return them to me as I need them”.
Then he gave them as alms to the poor and imposed poverty on himself. And that man never needed
anything during his life, because when he needed something God allowed him to get it”.

This Name has the number 998, from which the letters ¬ā' and Þā' are indispensable in it 4 . It is
an even number of odd and defective, whose divisors add up to 502. And 502 is equivalent to two glorious
Names, which are 'Very Dear' ( ©ibb ) 'Compassionate' ( Šafīq ). And the letters of their Names add up to
1002, which is equivalent to two glorious Names: 'One' ( A¬ad ) and 'Custodian' ( ©āfiÞ ).
And it has a square of great value and excellent benefit, which is made up through the harmonious
fitting of its Names and letters. This is his figure, as you can see:

since that will find its basis in him.
It is one of the recitations of the people of the Union who practice long fasts, because by reciting

Whoever performs the continuous ²ikr of this sublime Name always has provisions, his problems
are solved, his prayers are attended to and everything he asks of God is granted, because in him resides an
allusion to the Supreme Name of God. And if he constantly recites it, the accountant is never wrong in his
results and is exact in his calculation. And who fears the result of Evaluation ( mu¬āsaba ) 1 , Yes it recites

also has the meaning of 'Who is enough' ( al-Kāfī ) 2 , since sufficiency is the extreme that separates the
one who is satisfied from the one who is self-sufficient.

It is one of the abundant numbers, since its divisors add up to 106, which alludes to His Name c
'Savior' ( Munaŷŷī ), due to the liberation ( al-injā' ) that sufficiency supposes, that is to say, the liberation
of not having that need of the the rest. Y the sense of Count ( a li ¬ ½ ā ' ) have that watch with the deal

And to God belongs the merit of saying:

They evaluate us and are exhaustive.

Then they are generous and release us.

[And the number 106] also alludes to His Name, exalted be He, 'Causing One' ( Musabbib ), since
He who keeps account of your acts, thereby determines a means by which His superiority is manifested to
you, or good His justice. This is why the letter bā' that results from the mediation ( al-tasabbub ) takes
place at the end of His Name al-©asīb , since His exhaustive calculation is a means to manifest superiority
or justice.

It is also equivalent to His Name 'Loyal' ( Wafī ` ), because really Whoever keeps track of your
acts compensates you to the extent of these, especially when He already knows the defective acts and those
that increase the weight of your good behavior before they you yourself make the internal count of them.
And the calculation of countable things is equivalent to the weighting of things that are measured according
to their weight, so that needs Who is exact in his measurements ( al-Wafī ), whose Name is opposed by
definition to the defective or deficient measurement . And if we take the Name al-©asīb in the sense of al-

Whoever surrenders to the ²ikr of this noble Name, exalts himself in the intuitions of the hearts
and is respected by those who see him.
Whoever engraves it [on a seal] at the appropriate time and carries it with them, subdues all
powerful oppressors thanks to it, since its effect on what is hidden from you is the same as it exerts on what
is visible to you. Consider well what I am pointing out to you, because God grants His favor to whom He
wants, He is the Lord of Immense Favor.

His ²ikr is indicated for one who is called 'Abd al-Jalīl. And Shaykh Zayn al- Din said al-Jafi, oh god
have it in His Glory!, that in this Name resides a splendid secret to obtain respect and glory, and whoever
performs his continuous ²ikr no one can stare at him because of the respect he imposes, every evildoer when
seeing him feels fear and respect when he finds himself in front of him to him, and as long as the secret of
the Majesty resides in his heart, he will not be able to bear his gaze. So it is also very useful for combat and
for the commanders of the armies. Try to to understand.

It has the number 73, which is a prime number, since certainly the meaning of 'el- c
Majestic' ( al-Ŷalīl ) in His integrity and in His kindness in which there is no crack. And in it appears the
letter ŷīm alluding to the Meeting ( al-jam' ), where the 'ayn alludes to the Manifestation ( al-Þuhūr ), so
that in al-Jalīl the meanings of His Names 'Whoever gathers together' ( al-Ŷāmi' ) and 'the Exalted' ( al-
'AÞīm ). For this reason, the names of its letters add up to a higher number that is 134, or it is equivalent to
His 'Eternal' Name ( ¼amad ), to His Name 'Who gives profit' ( Mufīd ) and to His Name 'Savior' ( Munŷī
) including the article, for the Majestic is the One in whom refuge is sought to obtain all right Y for get rid
of all wrong: “ Pray constantly saying: oh Mister of the majesty and the Generosity! 2 . _

 SECTION FORTY-SIXTH ABOUT HIS NAME : ' IMENSE ' ( Wāsi ' ) p. 277

Whoever surrenders to the ²ikr of this noble Name, God extends his sustenance, his qualities and
his knowledge, and makes his soul rise at the moment of his death, since it is one of the Names of sublime
power for those who are aware of its value. Its bearer will not be in any narrowness without finding the
breadth, and God will put a relief and a way out in all his affairs.

Shaykh Zayn al-Dīn al-©āfī said : “Whoever performs the ²ikr of this resplendent Name and this
high and brilliant secret, God extends his sustenance, ennobles his temperament, spreads his secret and
opens his chest, for he is one of the most sublime Names for those who know their power”.

Whoever arranges it with its separate letters in a 4 x 4 magic square while the moon is growing, a

invokes it after reciting the Fāti¬ and takes it with them, God makes difficult matters easier for them and
broadens their means of subsistence. And in it resides a wonderful secret for kings, princes, rulers and
ministers, because every sovereign who constantly recites it gets his kingdom extended and his words are
obeyed. Try to understand.

It has the number 137: seven is for the liberation of narrowness; thirty is by the consecutive order b
of all the Names in the breadth of their union; and the hundred is for His absolute dominion and His
manifestation. Therefore, in this number they gather from the first of the manifested Names to the most
extreme of them in the divine descent ( tanazzul ) 1 , which is actually the last of them in manifestation.
Both Names are 'Deity' ( Ilāh ) and 'Sovereign' ( Malīk ) 2 . And when its equal is added to this number, it
results 'Who widens his heart' ( Wāsi' qalba-hu ), and in the same way results 'His heart is immense' (
Qalbu-hu wāsi' ) 3 , and that is an allusion to Mu¬ammad, God bless him and save!, since he is the
"believing servant" whom he mentions in His words, exalted be he!: " Contains me the heart of me servant
c
believer ” 4 . Y it is a number cousin, because the sense external of the expression it is conditioned by the
circumstances of place and time, from which its manifestation varies depending on that of the rest of things.
And in this sense, integrity is more certain than dispersion, since God is the One Who remains pure and
free to take place or for something to take place in Him. These are some noble allusions that you will
understand through experiences. subtle.

A NECDOTE : Whoever witnesses the Greatness ( al-'aÞama ) says: "I have not seen anything that d
God was not behind." And whoever witnesses the Immensity ( al-wasa' ) says: “I have not seen anything
before which God was not present”, since the essence that is the hidden part of the Greatness is the visible
part of the Immensity. Therefore Greatness is like a veil ( izār ). Meditate on that, for it is one of the subtle
concepts of Oneness.

Whoever arranges it harmoniously in a magic square during the first hour of Wednesday while
Mercury is in his exaltation, writes it down on suitable material and carries it with him while performing
his ²ikr and being in harmony with the conduct of the wise and their habits, for the divine emanation is
doubled over him and the sources of Wisdom ( al-¬ikma ) flow from his heart towards his tongue. But the
use of this Name has as an indispensable condition the purity ( tazkiya ) of the soul, for God said, exalted

is to arrange matter to adopt the forms, and this is the result of the Wisdom divine.

good has been given, but only the possessors of judgment do not reconsider ﴿ 5 .

in the acts of obedience, makes the realities of things to be discovered before him, makes him aware of the
most hidden aspects of the mysteries, makes hate lies and make your words irrefutable and elevated. It is

SECTION FIFTY-THREE ABOUT HIS NAME : ' ORGANIZER ' ( Wakīl )

Whoever performs the continuous ²ikr of this sublime Name, God fills and enriches him in such a
way that he will not need to procure means of subsistence, being provided without limitation. And if he is
endowed with a sincere spiritual condition, he feeds on the Self ( al-kawn ). Its ²ikr is indicated for whoever
is called Mu¬ammad, and it has a magic square whose figure is as follows:
Æayyib 26 Wā¬id

Hādī ©abīb 24
fig. 146 25 ©ayy Æabīb

And by joining its numerical harmonic square and

its literal square in a single square, the following figure
results:

It has the number 66, which is even odd and long. a

And it is one of the specific Names of Mu-ammad and of
the family of Mu-ammad. That is why God referred to him
in the earlier revealed books as 'the Keeper' ( al-
mutawakkil ). And the association of this Name and its
peculiar relationship with the Prophet, God bless him and
save!, resides in the fact that his name has its numerical
value, since Allah is worth 66, Wakīl 66, and the sum
of both of them it is 132, that it is precisely the worth of its Name fig. 147
Muammad.

And the number 66 is abundant because its factors add up to 78, which alludes to His Name 'Wise'
( ©akīm ), because if the organizer were not wise, he would not put things in their place, and the following
355
verses are said about that :

356
 If you need to delegate to someone,
Delegate to a wise man and do not order him anything.

And the sum of the divisors of each of the Names [ Allāh and Wakīl ] add to their base 12, and a
1
that is one of His Names, exalted be He, 'very Dear' ( ©ibb ) , and it is also one of the proper names of the
Prophet, God bless and save you! And if the excess of each of the two Names is added with respect to their
base, this results in 24, and it is the name of the prophet 'and his beloved' ( wa-¬abību-hu ) 2 , so that the
sum of the numerical values of 'Mu¬ammad' and ' wa-¬abību-hu' , it is the same number that result of Add
Allah ©ibb Y wakil ©ibb 3 .

And the names of the letters [of Wakīl ] add up to 197, which is equivalent to His Name 'the
Subsistent' ( al-Qayyūm ) including the article, for the management ( al-qiyām ) that entails the direction
of a matter ( al- wikāla ).

SECTION FIFTY-FOURTH ABOUT HIS NAME : ' S STRONG ' ( Qawī ) c

Whoever invokes this Name of enormous value repeatedly acquires strength to bear the visible
and internal burdens, his spirit is strengthened and he acquires capacity for anything, as it is one of the
recitations of the angel 'Azrā'īl. It is very beneficial for those who bear the weight of great loads, and its
²ikr is indicated for those who are called Mūsà, it being convenient to add His Name 'Inventor' to it. (
p. 284
Mubdi' ), Y also it is indicated for who I know I called Yūnus.

And you should know that whoever performs his continuous ²ikr will not run out of strength in the
middle of a trip, as long as he continues to recite it and carry his magic square, which is as follows:

It has the number 126, an even number of odd and abundant, since its divisors add up to 186, a a
number that is equivalent to a magnificent recitation ( ²ikr ), since nothing can weaken anyone who
undertakes it, and it is "God this with me" ( Allah ma'ī ). This it is it that gives a to understand its worth
numeric oral.

Regarding its written numerical value, it is equivalent to 116, an even number of the odd and
defective when adding its factors 94, a number that is equivalent to His 'Mighty' Name ( 'Azīz ), and
therefore the

In the original it reads “ a¬abb ”, which would add 13, or 11 without counting the double bā' .
2
Following the usual numbering method, this word would be worth 33, half the name Allāh . But

357
In order to pretend that it is worth 24, he should have used that method according to which all the letters correspond
to a value in the degree of the units (30, 300, 3000 = 3), by it that Already' it would be worth 1 Y the addition of all
the letters would give 24.
3
132 + 24 = 78 + 78 = 156.

358
Might is always accompanied by strength. The first number [116] is equivalent to Musà and the second
[126] to Yūnus.

The Names of their letters add up 206, it that alludes a Their Name 'Omnipotent' ( jabbār ), Y it is
the manifest value of “Mūsà”. And if we count 218 1 , it is equivalent to His Name 'Who makes repentance'
( M u ½ f i ¬ ), Y it is the v a l o r manifesto _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in “ Yūnus ” .

Y you should to know that who I know find in the flat spiritual of Their Name 'Strong' this in a b
level closer to the Presence and its contemplative vision ( šuhūd ) is more perfect, so it is very suitable for
those whose ability to confront the Truth is weak, from where the meaning of the Name takes place. That
is why Mūsà said: ﴾ My brother Hārūn is more eloquent than I: send him with me What assistant that
confirm my words, well Really I fear that I deny ﴿ 2 , ﴾ mate to one of they Y I fear that I kill ﴿ 3 , ﴾ Y Muse
He felt fear in its inside ﴿ 4 , ﴾ they said: Mister our, we fear that the Pharaoh I know precipitate against

there was a men weak ” 6 . notice What both of them were thrown to the waters, one in the darkness of the
basket ( al-tābūt ) and the other in the darkness of the whale's belly 7 . Try to understand and you will
prosper, God willing, exalted be!

SECTION FIFTY -FIFTH ABOUT HIS NAME : ' UNBREAKABLE ' ( matin ) c

Whoever surrenders to the ²ikr of this Name of enormous value will not weaken his forces in any
matter that is arduous and exhausting. His ²ikr is suitable for those who fear that their forces will fail when
undertaking some matter. And if the Name 'the Strong' ( al-Qawī ) is added to it, whoever bears the weight
of great loads.
And you should know that whoever invokes him continuously until he masters a spiritual condition
derived from it, will really be respected and will be endowed with strength, courage, authority and
manificence, having in it an extraordinary secret to subdue the will of kings.

It has the number five hundred, even number of odd and abundant when adding their divisors d
592, adding to the base the amount equivalent to His Name 'Security' ( Amān ), because in robustness ( al-
matāna ) is the security of not losing strength. For this reason, the nūn supposes the extreme of existence in the
that the Manifestation takes place 8 . Said God, exalted be he!: ﴾ It is the best of all that you have used. It

TO PARTY FIFTIETH SIXTH ON S U NAME : _ ' CLOSE ' ( wali ) 3 to

Whoever surrenders to the ²ikr of this shining Name and this resplendent secret is under the
protection of God and is close to Him, since it is one of the recitations of the angels of the elevated presence,
a the that I know call cherubs ( al- karrūbiyyūn ).

Whoever constantly performs his ²ikr finding himself fulfilled in its meaning, which is the
suppression of the mediators [between God and the realized one], reaffirms himself in the spiritual abode
of Friendship ( wilāya ). And you must reveal to the one who performs his ²ikr all the conditions ( a¬wāl
) of the creatures he wishes to know.

Have the number 56 in its worth oral, Y 46 in its worth written. The first number it is pair of pair and b

it that it would be to another forbidden.

As for the second number [46], it is an even and defective number since its divisors add up to 26.
This alludes to a glorious Name that is one of the praises ( a²kār ) of those who are in the highest degrees
of Oneness. , and they are the words “One, One” ( A¬ad A¬ad ), so al-Walī results from the fact that its
dividers and parts express that remembrance.

SECTION FIFTY-SEVENTH ABOUT HIS NAME : ' PRAISABLE ' ( © amīd ) c

Whoever performs the constant ²ikr of this Name is praised for his qualities, thanked for his acts
and exalted by all people. Whoever writes it the number of times its numerical value in a container and
gives [its filter] to drink to those who suffer from illness, God, exalted be He, makes them heal. And his
²ikr is indicated for whoever is called Mamud.

And you should know that the one who realizes himself with this Name is of praiseworthy
temperament, and the one who fully reveals it [its meaning], is the most praiseworthy person of all. d
Mu¬ammad, God bless and save!, is the epiphanic symbol of Praise ( al-¬amd ), which is the beginning
of the Book of Existence 2 such Y What the same said: “ I first that I think God it was me light ” 3 , well all
the, God it bless Y hail! is the Praise with which Truth, exalted be He, began the Book of Existence. This is
important, because if [Existence] did not begin with Praise to God, who is the most praised ( Mu- ammad
) of his creatures and the most commendable ( A-mad ), it would not have prosperity 4 . And for this reason p. 286
also his prayer is the last of the prayers of the prophets, by His decree: ﴾ And at the end of his sentence:
The praises a God, Mister of the worlds! ﴿ 5 . So that the Prophet it is the opening Y the stamp of the
Existence, since it is Praise, which in turn is that with which Truth began the Book of the Beginning ( al-
ibdā' ) and with which it also began the Book of the Return ( al-i'āda ). As the Prophet said: “ I am the a
6
first in view of the that the Earth I know will open ” . By it it was distinguished the Prophet with the sura
of the Praise, which is the Fāti¬a of the Book, His glorious Book that comes from a treasury ( kanz ) under
the Throne 7 , which is only opened with his name A¬mad. Try to understand these luminous delights and
these eternal secrets, for you will derive immense pleasure in knowing the gifts of faith and paradisiacal
concepts. God tells the Truth and He shows the road.

earth will split, leaving open the graves of men (cf. Cor . xix: 91; 1: 44), and they will return to life, or else your life
will be created anew, so it is also the Book of the Return or the Recreation of life.

And it is as if God began with everything in which creatures apparently have a part
-even if it is through prayers-, and then it will end with what the creatures have no choice in and what they
are openly unable to alter, such as the beginning, the return, the resurrection and the death. Meditate on

Whoever undertakes his ²ikr makes his actions correct and lasts, and his ²ikr is useful for whoever
starts something. And you must know, God guide me!, that whoever surrenders to his ²ikr becomes familiar
with the resplendent sciences, speaks with Wisdom and expresses himself through symbols.

It has the number 56, which is equivalent to 'the Nearest' ( al-Walī ). And said Name in relation to b
'the Initiator' occupies the same place as 'the Organizer' ( al-Wakīl ) in relation to His name Allāh 2 . That
is why it results from adding the first two His Name 'Who makes evident' ( Mubayyin ), because by means
of proximity and the beginning, which is the beginning of the visible appearance of something, everything
becomes evident and remains defined.

His letter names add up to 141, which alludes to His Name 'Scholar' ( 'Ālim ). And as for its noble

Whoever undertakes the ²ikr of this noble Name makes everything that is corrupt return to its ideal
state and brings back everyone who left. And if it is arranged in a square, the ascendant being one of the
transitory zodiacal signs ( munqaliba ), it is hung in the wind and the subject of the ritual remains all night
reciting the Name with the purpose of bringing back a fugitive or someone who has gone on a journey. ,

It has the number 124, which is even from even and odd. And it is a defective number when adding
its divisors 100, which is equivalent to His Name 'Sovereign' ( Malīk ), because no one can restore things
after they have disappeared except their sovereign or owner. That is why the Truth, praised and exalted be
He, is manifested through His Name 'the King' ( al-Malik ), since this implies the truth of the Day of Return.

exterminate sinners, since everyone who constantly recites it while cursing an evil person gets them killed
on the spot. And it has a magnificent influence to attenuate impure desires.
Whenever someone undertakes his ²ikr until he is seized by a spiritual state derived from it, and
after that he mentions the name of the person whose death he wishes, God, exalted be He, causes him to

 SECTION SIXTY- THREE ABOUT HIS NAME : ' LIVING ' ( ©ayy ) to

Whoever constantly performs the ²ikr of this Name of great value until he is in harmony with the
spirits, increases in his subsistence ( baqā' ) 1 in the terrestrial world and God, exalted be He, revives his
heart with the Spirit of Oneness . It is one of the recitations of the angel Ŷabrā'īl, and his ²ikr is indicated
for whoever is called Idris.

This Name has the number 28, which is even from even and odd, and is the second perfect number
( tām ) . The perfect numbers are more noble than the abundant and the defective ones, as well as being
2

very scarce, since there will not be more than one perfect number in each degree, said number constituting
the life of the corresponding numerical degree: in the degree of units, 6 , in the tens degree 28, in the
hundreds degree 296, which is equivalent to the name of the prophet, God bless him and save!, 'Messenger'
( Rasūl ) 3 ; and in the degree of thousands the 8128 4 .

And returning to what is manifested in number 28, since Life is the limit b -end
of perfection, there can be no addition or deficiency in it 5 . If that perfection were capable of being increased
_ no _ I would be _ perfect , _ _ why _ he or what _ _ no _ I would be _ life ; _ _ Y yes _ hub i was in
she is _ d ef i c i e n c i a ( n to q ½ ), to that it would entail death to the same extent that the deficiency
occurs. And therefore the number 28 results from multiplying the first complete number ( kāmil ) 6 by the

the perfection of Existence; and it is the number of lunar mansions that are perfectly distinguishable in the

SECTION SIXTY-FOURTH ABOUT HIS NAME : ' S UBSISTING ' ( Qayyūm ) p. 290

Whoever performs the ²ikr of this sublime Name, God sustains him internally and externally, and
if he performs it, he is the possessor of a sincere spiritual state, because God makes him the pillar that
sustains all things.

in the same way that the Name of God, exalted be he!, does not establish the possibility of an equal to Him
due to the Singularity that the creatures perceive in said Name, since in the same way it happens with the
Name 'the Subsistent' , which is one of the few Names that God restricted to tongues so that only He can
be designated with them. And it is said that the Supreme Name of God is found in the words ﴾ Your god is

The names of its letters add up to 308, which is equivalent to His Name 'Sustainer' ( Rāziq ), d

sustenance ( a l- r i z q ). The Next it is its square harmonic, Y a lQ a yyū m _ it is the essence inside of

SECTION SIXTY-FIFTH ABOUT HIS NAME : ' HALLADOR ' ( Wājid )

Whoever surrenders to the ²ikr of this Name of great power, there will be nothing that he cannot
find if that is his purpose. And with that recitation the travelers of the Path ( al-sālikūna ) find in their souls
the knowledge of the spiritual rapture ( wajd ).

And whoever performs his continuous ²ikr until seized by a spiritual condition derived from it,
finds within himself what neither science nor visible signs can make him known, and reaffirms his steps in
the domain of delicious knowledge ( al-¬ikam al-²awqiyya ). And his ²ikr is very beneficial to someone
called 'Abd al-Wāyid.

nights of loss or absence ( faqd ) 2 . And it is a defective number, since its divisors add up to 10. And this
alludes to the letter yā' , which is the name of the Descent ( tanazzul ) that His words entail, exalted be He!:

If a king undertakes the ²ikr of this Name, his kingdom is enlarged, his words are obeyed, and the
hearts of his subjects sympathize with him unanimously. And his ²ikr is indicated for whoever is called
'Abd al-Majid.

It has the number 48, which is a noble number because it results from multiplying the first perfect
number ( tām ) by the first of its digits, and after multiplying the result by the first of its digits 5 . And it is
a number that symbolizes the perfection that completion implies, since it is the quantity that is heard in “
©ā'-Mīm ”, a motto that the Prophet, God bless him and save!, adopted as a war cry ( ši' ār ) 6 , Y ordered
that the day of the battle of u-ud searching the glory of its community ( umma ) 7 , glory that supposes the
integrity of the power ( mulk ), its expansion and its continuity.
Y is an abundant number, between whose divisors there is only an odd number that is the 3rd c
And its divisors add up to 86, which is equivalent to His Name 'Who gives refuge' ( Maw'il ), since he
whose power expands becomes a refuge for those who seek him and a protector for those who resort to
him. And it is also equivalent to His Name 'Innovative' ( Badī' ).

Cf. Bujārī, nº 6021. It refers to the fact that the numerical value of the name of the yā' (12 counting the hamza )
is equivalent to the expression 'in Me / by Me' ( bī ).

We have interpreted that the words that are effectively equivalent to 212 are “ huwa Fā½il ” when referring to
the word f to ½ l . Y we believe that with "the division" in the Names of the letters I know refers a that Yes we divided
the Name in half, we are left with two pairs of letters that add up to 7 each ( wā / ŷd ).
5
That is, it is obtained by multiplying the first perfect number (6) by the first of the digits of 48: 6 x 4 = 24; and
then multiply the result by the first of its numbers, 24 x 2 = 48.

In allusion to the ¬adi£ picked up by abu Dawud, no. 2230, al-Tirmi²ī, no. 1605; etc.: “ Yes the enemy you attack

The Battle of U¬ud (AD 625), where the Muslims were defeated by the Meccans, was the last serious military
setback suffered by the fledgling Islamic community. In the Qur'an, this defeat is usually interpreted as the moment

Whoever undertakes the ²ikr of this sublime Name has an aversion to abundance or multiplicity.
In it resides an extraordinary secret for those who desire the sterility of a man or woman; and it is one of
the recitations [indicated] for notables and rulers.

Said a certain saint to whom God facilitated the achievement of his objectives, God have him in
His glory!: “It is one of the Names closest to the Name of the Sanctified Essence, and for this reason it
appears at the end of the surah of the Cult. And if the Name 'Who gathers' ( al-Jāmi' ) is added to it, then
it is one of the most sublime and glorious recitations.” And his ²ikr is indicated for whoever is called
A¬mad.

As regards the ²ikr of both Names 'the One, the Only' ( al-A¬ad al-Wā¬id ), for it is a recitation
of sublime essence for travelers on the Path who depend on the mysteries of Oneness .

Abū 'Abd Allāh al-Kūfī, God rest his soul, said: “The [ ²ikr of] the Name al-A¬ad is indicated for a

Oneness. And who harmonically arranges both Names on a sheet on a Sunday ( a¬ad ) in the moment of
the exit of sun, being oriented towards the qiblah, in condition of purity ritual and while he recites both
Names, and after that he hides it under his turban, God, exalted be He, provides him with magnificence,
respect, dignity and greatness”. And this is the one mentioned square:

Oneness there is no room for division.

The names of its letters add up to 102 according to one criterion, and 156 following another. The
first number is equivalent to His 'Evident' Name ( Mubīn ) 1 , since the Unity ( a¬adiyya ) has an evident
meaning linked to the Name Allāh, and for this reason it is found at the end of the surah of the Worship.
And it is also equivalent to His 'Superior' Name ( A'là ), since in this Name resides the height above the
intellective capacities of creatures, since it is a clear expression of the All-encompassing name ( al-Ŷāmi'
).
And the second number is equivalent to His Name 'Companion' ( Mu'nis ), for in the Unity of

the square of the sura of the Worship, presence by work of God that which cannot be expressed in words.
And you must know that each of these Names confers to its bearer all the strength of the heart that resides

continue in that spiritual state for an hour- well, truly your wish will come true, God willing!, especially in
the case of the lords of mystical states. Try to understand that, because it is not possible to clarify more than

+ wāw (13) + lām (17) = 154 = Qadīm ; alif + wāw + lām (17) = 141

practices: use your recitation according to the rules of such practices, God speaks the Truth and He shows
the way! And his ²ikr is beneficial to whoever is called Muammad.

Said Shaykh Zayn al-Dīn al-Kāfī, God rest his soul!: Whoever writes it on a glass container the

subtle entities!, that every esoteric aspect is its exoteric aspect in relation to the esoteric aspect that resides
in it 2 , so that the Decree is the hidden part of the Creation, and the One who holds the Decree and the
Creation is the hidden part of both 3 . So the concealment of the Decree is symbolic but not real, and the

a heart that is behind the heart of the Koran, whose equivalent expression is Yā'-Sīn 6 ; or they are equivalent
to the heart of the world, whose equivalent expression is Mu¬ammad 7 . It alludes to the former for some
scholars and to both for others. And his Name 'the Hidden' is the source of Oneness and Balance, the heart
is the seat of the manifestation of both, and Mu¬ammad is the most hidden part of the visible part of
Creation and the most visible part of Creation. hidden part of Decree.

Whoever constantly recites this resplendent Name is instilled with a love for good customs from
the point of view of morality and also for indulgence. Whoever commits an offense and fears the
punishment of a lord or another person, should recite this Name the number of times the numerical value
of its letters, for God, exalted be He, will save him from what he fears with the blessing of this Name. And
his ²ikr is also beneficial to the one called Yūsuf.

And you should know that the Names 'Who forgives all' ( al-Gafūr ), 'Who pardons' ( al-Gāfir )
and 'Who grants forgiveness' ( al-'Afū ) constitute a series of Names very close in meaning, and their joint
recitation is beneficial to avoid the painful, specifically the spiritual and earthly sufferings: praised be He
who deposited His secrets in Their Names!

refined and he shows compassion with the creatures of God, exalted be he!; and when its bearer [of his
square] meets a violent person, his heart softens.
A certain wise man said that whoever invokes this Name continuously until seized by a spiritual
condition derived from it, people feel sorry for his misfortunes and their hearts are inclined towards him.

It has the number 281 following one criterion and 286 following another; or also 287 and 292, and a
what happens in this last result is that one is not counted when the alif is hidden , counting instead the wāw
1
, so we will abbreviate by taking two of these four numbers.
The first number is 286, a number in which the letters of the Name are reaffirmed, being manifest
in their numerical degrees in the same way that they are in their written form 2 . And the knowledge that is

Whoever continually performs the ²ikr of this glorious Name, God makes that he does not need
creatures, and whoever persists in his ²ikr until he enters into harmony with some of his spiritual entities,
will obtain whatever he desires.

It has a square of great value that will be composed during the exaltation of Saturn, and whoever
carries it with him and recites the Name the number of times the numerical value of its letters, then recites
the Surah of The Morning 2 , and at the end says: " My God, grant me the prosperity that You facilitate to
many of Your servants, and make me able to dispense by Your favor with everything that is not You”, for
if he persists in it for forty days, God sends him whoever teaches him [whatever he wants know] in his
dreams or his waking. And [your square] will also be composed during the apogee of the sun.

I myself mentioned that Name to a friend, advising him to constantly perform his a
²ikr . And said person undertook a spiritual retreat of forty nights remembering the Name, and at the end of
that the roof that was above him opened, forty Iraqi quintals of gold descended and he was told: "If you
wish, we will give you more, and if it is enough for you, it is enough for us”.

1
Our interpretation of these words is that mystics in lower spiritual states cannot yet be in harmony ( tajalluq )
with the attribute of Self-sufficiency, because at those levels they need or depend on God ( ta'alluq ). And when the
mystic manages to harmonize with 'the Enricher', the 'Enough' becomes one of the Names of Realization ( ta¬aqquq
), which implies a contemplative vision of God and one of the highest spiritual degrees.

present and future merciful acts.

place in him, since in reality no one afflicts except God, exalted be He! And I affirm that a great number of

In medieval medicine, the predominance or excess of one of the four humors (blood, phlegm, anger and
melancholy) in the body is the cause of different diseases, where health lies in the balance of said humors (see A

It means that the divine gifts are visible in those mystics, although they are only perceptible by the hearts of their
fellow men in spiritual rank. On the other hand, the lodestone usually symbolizes the Love or Grace of God,

a number that is equivalent to His Name 'Who makes one understand' ( Mufhim ), for the clarification
(ifhām) of the path that resides in the divine Guide, a Guide that whoever finds himself in ignorance will
have lost ( al-faim ).

This sublime Name is beneficial to one who wishes to display unprecedented ingenuity or work,
and has a square of magnificent power. A certain wise man said that whoever performs the ²ikr of this
beautiful Name will not stop learning new things about the divine Sciences, and God will make the Sciences
emanate from his tongue.

And said Ibn Šahriyār 2 , God rest His glory!, “whoever continually remembers it reaches those
aspects of religious sciences that he hopes to reach. I myself persevered in his ²ikr when I did not understand
anything about the divine Sciences, and not four years had passed when God made Wisdom flow through
my tongue and he saw me speaking of what I did not know before”.

prime number 1 , so pay attention to this wonderful secret. And it is a defective number whose divisors add
up to 46, so in them there is elevation ( 'ulūw ) and perfection ( tamām ) 2 , and this alludes to the authority p. 311
of the Intellect First.

And the names of his letters add up to 181, which is equivalent to His Name 'the Knower' ( al-

This sublime Name must be recorded when the ascendant is a fixed constellation, with the purpose
of preserving those things that are feared to be corrupted.

And you should know that whoever surrenders to his ²ikr will not be affected by any disease during
his life, since what he confers is eternal subsistence ( baqā' ). And every king on earth who performs his

Whoever constantly performs the ²ikr of this supreme Name in order to obtain something that is
not in his hands, God causes him to inherit it, either at the initiative of the one in whose hands it is, or
because he is forced to do so. And it is a recitation of great power and very profitable for the most important
successors and for the heirs.

Said Abū 'Abd Allāh Zayn al-Dīn al-Kāfī: whoever recites it until he is seized by a spiritual state
consistent with it, becomes a chief of his tribe ( qabīla ), is loved among his relatives ( 'ašīra ), and sees
for the grace of God that which he is unable to describe in terms of the good and prosperity of himself, his
family and what he possesses, since it is one of the best kept secrets.

Whoever constantly recites this noble Name, achieves that all his vicissitudes have a good
conclusion. And whoever arranges it in a square and takes it with him, God makes his spiritual and physical
condition adequate and he does not regret any act.

It has the number 514, which is even odd and defective by adding its divisors 260, which is
equivalent to our words 'He is Compassionate' ( Huwa Rā¬im ). And the names of its letters add up to 608,

Whoever performs the continuous ²ikr of this sublime Name, God provides him with firmness in
the face of misfortunes, and he will not find himself unable to finish any work that he has begun. It is very
useful for people who make great efforts and to endure the hardships of exhausting work.

Its square is like that of the rest of the Names, except that it must be composed when the ascendant
is one of the fixed zodiacal constellations. It has the number 298, which is an even, elongated, and defective

VIRTUES OF KHY'¼ , AND ITS DIVINE AND SACRED LETTERS

You must know, oh sincere seeker and passionate lover, may God guide you towards the kīmīyā'
of happiness and towards the sīmīyā' of eternal dominion!, that the science of divine Names is an excellent
and illuminating knowledge and a subtle and secret secret. spiritual, in which the most notable Gnostic
saints such as al-Tustarī and al-Šiblī 1 excelled , and who accredited the most outstanding scholars such as al-
Gazālī and al-Rāzī 2 . It is one of the sciences infused by God in its origin and one of the revealing traits in
its disposition. Its reality is the containment of the subtle realities of the eternal Names, and the
confrontation of the Gnostic subtleties of the theophanies of Oneness, which provide the people of the
Gnostic confrontations ( al-tawajjuhāt ) with Singularity, and all those willing to to receive them Stability,
where the Gnostic who has verified the Truth is more apt than the one whose arguments based on ignorance
falter.

Said the reflection of the secrets and the pole of the lights, our lord the Messenger of God: “ In the a
science divine resides a part essential preserved, the which only arrive a know the wise men of God, Y
how much you mention of she you result reprehensible a the people of the Magnificence of God ” 3 .

I'm jealous that he looks directly at the sun

without any curtain, because the lover is jealous.

Oh brothers of purity and lovers of loyalty! This is the hidden pearl, the preserved secret, the red b
sulfur and the resplendent ruby, whose allusion is clear to those who know God, since the shell cannot hide
the pearl from anyone. who have been given understanding, while it is hidden from the wicked engrossed
in the books of blindness. The hands of the unbelievers do not harm it and in it reside the sources of the
thirsty. Its parts are the steps of those who walk the Path, so take them diligently if you are able to
understand, do you want something other than witnessing the Truth, or are you incapable of reflection?
Only those who have savored it know its meaning, only those qualified to interpret divine symbols come to
appreciate it in its entirety, and no one inhabits the temples of its lights except those versed in Science.
Apply yourselves in the observance of his perfect decree, since in it resides an exhortation for the worlds 4
, and as for what is obscure of that one, since God is the best Revealer.

Yes the wise men they will contemplate the swinging

of Their Science, it they would wish What

fingers, but that each luminous letter in it is composed of a dark letter, and in it a resplendent notion and a
subtle concept are linked, but with a disposition of wonderful composition and an order of extraordinary
gradation, which you will perceive after revealing sublime knowledge and sacred concepts, after resolving
spiritual symbols and discovering the talismans of the Lordship's treasures, the theophanies of Eternity, the
confrontations of Oneness, the pure sources, the clear springs, the prodigious acts and the sincere breaths.

numerical correspondences, the obscure odd and double concepts, the mystical knowledge and the
illuminating subtleties with which one arrives at the Divine Presence and the singular Unity, without the
journey of a long journey nor the fatigue of a difficult path. Know that, check it, understand it and delve
into it: ﴾ That is the favor of God that He gives to whom wants. God it is Owner of Favour immense ﴿ 1 .

He descends the Mystery of His Omnipotence on whomever He wants among His friends ( awliyā' ). If
spiritual expansion and the moment are conducive, if harmony and the moment are favourable, if
Providence takes place and Realization accompanies, if you get rid of distractions and the sea of worries,
if you abandon error, confusion, confusion and vulgarity, if you concentrate your scattered mind and
absorbed thought, if you steal from the hours of your years some moments of purity and impose on the days
of your life some lasting moments, then by the virtues of your spiritual understanding appear the promised
brides of my illuminating sign. Those will feel gratitude as they draw back the brides' veil of secrets and
discover the jewels of ideas in the wide glittering meadow and the resplendent brocaded Garden, while
lamenting those who say: there is no earnest friend 3 nor merciful protector.

And even when there is not enough time for it or the obstacle stands in the way of the one who
walks the Path, since from that you have already been granted some pure white brides, some resplendent b
houris, some glittering beauties and some passionate virgins of Yūsufī aspect, impetus Maryamī, musky
fragrance and Meccan luminosity, honest and generous, pure and immaculate, nubile chaste, shining
companions not offended by an opinion, not darkened by a mention, not touched by a thought or approached
by a fancy, because their gem is protected, its secret is preserved, its name is hidden and its jar sealed. Its
theriac is supreme, its red sulfur, its magnetic magnet, its attractive ruby, its fertile meadows, its flowering
trees, its overflowing rivers, its noisy birds, its dazzling lightning, its abundant mana, its resplendent light,
its ascending full moon, its radiant star, its splendorous crescent, its aroma is sumptuous and its beauty

well-guarded Book and this hidden pearl is the secret Science, the sealed mystery, sublime prosperity, the
eternal treasure, the definitive triac and the suitable medicine. It is the key to unraveling its signs and
deciphering the talismans of its treasures, it is the immersion in the seas of its secrets, the extraction of its
unusual pearls from the bottom of its cavities, and the discovery of its literal realities, its numerical lights,
its combinatory virtues, its odd and even particularities, its harmonic figures, its sacred recitations, its
eternal Names, its spiritual secrets and the rest of mysteries known only to the fewest rooted in Science and
the most perfect Gnostics: ﴾ That is the favor of God that he grants to whom he wants. God is Owner of
the immense Favor ﴿ 4 .

Among the sages there are those who limit themselves to exoteric and literal exegesis ( al-tafsīr a
al-lugawī ) without reaching esoteric and prophetic interpretation ( al-ta'wīl al-nabawī ), and what is
manifest is enough for them without what lies hidden. Among them there are those who dive into the
immensity of its waves and find the red sulfur. Among them there are those who go into their caves and
extract the ruby, the resplendent pearl and the green chrysolite. Among them there are those who walk the
abysses of their flanks and collect the ambergris and the humid aloe. And among them there are those that
remain attached to the end of its shores and extract from its fauna the supreme theriac and the fragrant
musk. It is about the Secret on which neither one nor the other can be contradicted, Y the wise men I

eternal word. It is the sea whose wonders do not diminish, whose prodigies are not extinguished, whose
end cannot be conceived and whose conclusion cannot be intuited. It is the hallmark that separates the kind
from the corrupt and the unhappy from the lucky, and it is the Truth to which ﴾ she is not affected by
falsehood on any side. And it is a Revelation whose descent comes from one who is Wise, Praised ﴿ 2 .

Y you should to know that there are four types of wise: the wise whose object of apprehension ( ¬aÞÞ ) it
is God, b
the sage whose apprehension of God is Science and Gnosis, the sage whose object of apprehension is the
path ( al-siyar ) to the Hereafter, and the sage whose apprehension is science to take the path to the
Hereafter. The first is with God and in God, the second goes to God with the Science of God, the third goes
to the Hereafter, and the fourth goes to the science of the Hereafter, as handed down to us from the
Messenger. of God, God you bless Y Hail!, that said: “ The powerful (al-kubarā') I know feel together, the
wise (al-¬ukama') they talk Come in they, Y the scholars (al-'ulama') I know consult ” 3 . The powerful
They are those who have been instructed in God by God, and they are the possessors of the Understanding
of God through God, His Book and the secrets of His creations, because there is a difference between the
understanding, the literal interpretation and the esoteric interpretation, as it says God, exalted be he!: ﴾ I
will remove from My signs (āyāt) those who on earth are filled with pride for no reason ﴿ 4 . Said Ibn
'Abbās, may God be pleased with him!: “[He means] I will deprive them of the understanding of the Koran".

And those versed ( al-'ulamā' ) in the interpretation of the meanings of the Qur'an are of three types: c
the first of these resorts to exoteric exegesis ( tafsīr ), and of the three it is the lowest group. The latter
resort to the esoteric interpretation ( ta'wīl ), and are in an intermediate position. And the third ones are
based on Understanding ( fahm ), and they are the best.
Exoteric exegesis is based on the study, learning and investigation of the doctrines of the ancients.
Esoteric exegesis resorts to God's Guidance and Assistance. And the Understanding and Perception of God
have place through the intellect Y the deduction ( al-qiyas ). So that the holders of Understanding speak for
God, as he said, exalted be He!: " I am his tongue with which he expresses himself - until the end of the
saying-".

Luqmān al-©akīm 5 said : “The hand of God is in the mouths of the wise, and not pronounce nothing d
without it predisposing them correctly. And Ibn 'Abbās recited: ﴾ Before you we have not sent any messenger
neither prophet ﴿ 6 , neither no storyteller inspired ( mu¬adda£ ), Y they are the people of the Comprehension,
those who speak about the Qur'an with Wisdom.
And it is narrated from one of the Prophet's companions that he said: O Messenger of God, we
found in your reading it that No we find in the our; Y said: “ because you recite externally, while that me

hidden sense ( a hl to lb ā Ð in ), it is tell, those that get the Comprehension of God through the secrets
of consideration ( al - tadbīr ) 2 , the lights of reminder ( al-ta²kīr ) 3 and the subtleties of reflection ( al-
tafkīr ) 4 , understanding the different decrees that God expresses in the hidden meanings of his verses.

This well-guarded Book and this hidden mystery is the great ocean to which both come to drink p. 316

thirsty for knowledge. Said God, exalted be he!: ﴾ We have omitted nothing in the Book ﴿ 5 , so there is no
secret that does not involve a good.
Y I know he has transmitted of Prophet, God it bless Y Hail!, that said: “ Every ayah of Koran
have a sense apparent Y of one a seven senses hidden ” 6 .
And the imām 'Alī said, God be pleased with him!: His visible part is admirable ( anīq ), and his
hidden part is the object of an embrace ( 'anīq ) whose wonders are not extinguished and their prodigies do
not cease.

And it is said that there is not a single verse of the Qur'an that does not have seven apparent
meanings and seven hidden meanings, as well as seven allusions, signs, subtleties, details and truths. The
external or apparent _ _ _ it is for _ the common _ _ _ d e he does people , _ _ _ _ _ he or hidden _ _ _ _ it
is for _ he or s chosen _ _ _ _ _ _ ( a l -j a wā ½½ ) , he does a l u si on es yes or no for the chosen of the
chosen, signs are for friends ( awliyā ' ) , subtleties are for the sincere ( ½ a d ī qūn ) , he or s details _ _ _ _
_ yes or no for _ _ _ he or s a m a n t is ( m u ¬ i b ū n ) Y he s _ true it is _ _ _ they belong _ _ _ _ a he or s a
pr o f e t a s .

Afterwards, under each word, even under each letter, there is a turbulent sea of knowledge whose
bottom is violently agitated, and when the witness of the Gnostics and the truthful one of the fearful recites
it, an intelligence is conferred for each letter ( ²ihn ), a thousand understandings correspond to each
intelligence, a thousand insights correspond to each understanding, a thousand considerations correspond
to each insight, and a single one of these considerations does not make the heavens and the earth stand
together 7 . Therefore are His words, exalted be He!: ﴾ Whoever is granted Wisdom has been given an
enormous good ﴿ 8 , that is, the understanding of the Qur'an and its meanings.

A certain sage said: each ayah has sixty thousand concepts, and the [concepts] that remain
uncomprehended are even more numerous. And he said: The final part of the Qur'an contains seventy-seven b
thousand two hundred knowledge.

Said one of the greatest masters of intuition: The essential reality of the Qur'an resides in the force
that guides the heavens, the earth and everything in them, from the day of its existence to the day of its
existence.

of that Truth from the hearts of men and the disappearance of the copies of the Koran, like the folding of
the heavens and the contraction ( qabÅ ) of the earth 1 . Try to understand that, for God speaks the Truth
and He shows the Road.

SUPPLEMENTARY SECTION ON THE EXCELLENCE OF THE BASMALA AND THE FĀTIHA c

You must know, may God guide us towards the understanding of His noble secrets!, that whoever
understands the secret of His words: ﴾ And with the Qur'an we send down a cure and mercy for the
believers ﴿ 2 , since in them resides the cure for the external parts ( Þawāhir ) of the bodies 3 , in the same
way that it houses a cure for the spiritual essences of the hearts. Therefore the Messenger of God, God it
bless Y Hail!, alluding a Their words said: “ The healing of me community (umma) it's found in three stuff:
in a ayah of book of God, in the bowl of who practice a Bleeding, either in a tablespoon of honey ” 4 . And
he said, God bless him and save him!: " Whoever does not seek healing in the Qur'an God No it cure ”;
Y said: “ The Koran it is the medication ” 5 . So that considers it's with sanity Y reflect on the pearls that
God deposited in this well-guarded Book and in this preserved secret, hidden in the shells of its letters, as
well as the wonders hidden in the depths of its sea.

Next I will mention, God willing!, in this extensive guide and joyful compilation some of the many
secrets of the sublime Qur'an. And I say, God is the One Who gives success and Who gives revelation and
confirmation!:
Said one of the Knowers of God, may God be pleased with them!: Your Bismi-Llāh is equal to
His ﴾ Kun ﴿ . It has a square of magnificent power, and this is the best of the ways in which it is arranged:

 Said al-Husayn b. 'Alī 1 : Whoever writes the Basmala with beautiful script enters Paradise.
And Abū Sa'īd al-Ju²rī 2 said : I heard Ibn 'Abbās say that everything has a basis ( asās ), the basis
of the holy books is the Qur'an, the basis of the Qur'an is the Fāti¬a, and the basis of the Fatia is the Basmala.
So when you suffer or get sick, go to the base and you will be cured, God willing!

One who recites the Basmala 787 times, gazing fixedly at this magic square with the purpose from to
nullify the power of some talisman, nullifies it on the spot.
Whoever recites it the mentioned number of times and then prays for the Prophet, God bless him
and save him!, 312 times, for he will not ask God for anything, exalted be He!, that is not granted. And if
he persists in that invocation, he will be attended to in his prayers.
And a certain wise man said, God have mercy on him!: To whomever recites the Basmala 150
times, God reveals the secrets of Gnostic knowledge and divine sciences, as well as the hidden aspects of
their realities. Try to understand, for God speaks the Truth and He shows the way.

And you should know that whoever constantly recites the Basmala gets the respect of the world upper b
and lower. And whoever knows the secrets that God, exalted be He, has deposited in it and writes it, will
not burn in Hell. In it resides the secret of the Supreme Name of God, and it is the first thing that the
heavenly Calamus wrote on the Tablet. It is that with which God erected the kingdom of Sulaymān, upon
him be peace!, that with which he raised the tree of created beings and that in which he made manifest the
secrets of day and night.

He said: “ no it give a know a the fools, well Some of they invoke Y are cared for ” 2 .

And the Basmala is composed of nineteen letters, and nineteen Names derive from them, which p. 318
are: Allah, the Merciful ( al-Ra¬mān ), the Merciful ( al-Ra¬īm ), the Lord ( al-Rabb ), the Pacific ( al-
Salām ), the Guardian of the faith ( al-Mu'min ), the Custodian ( al-Muhaymin ), the Protective ( al-Sattar
), the Truth ( al-©aqq ), Who gives life ( al-Muyi ), the Known ( al-'Alim ), the Compassionate ( al-©annān
), the Creator ( al-Bāri' ), the Manifest ( al-Mubin ), the benefactor ( al-Mu-sin ), the Full ( al-Malī' ), the
Pious ( al-Râ¬im ), the Calculator ( al-©asīb ). And whoever composes these nineteen Names in a 19 x 19
square, will not ask God for anything that He does not grant, since the Supreme Name of God resides in
him. And it is convenient that it be composed on the night of a day 19, because in this way it is more cash.

It is told of 'U£mān b. 'Affān 3 , God be pleased with him!, who asked the Prophet about the a
Basmala, Y East you answered: “ is the Name Supreme of God, Y its closeness to the Name plus great of
God it is What the that there are Come in the pupil Y the white of eye ”. Y I know narrates of Prophet, God
it bless and hail!, who said: “ The Basmala descended on Ibrāhīm. He recited it when he was on the
catapult plate, Y God made that the fire outside cold and harmless for he ” 4 .
It is related from al-Awzā'ī 5 , God have mercy on him!, that he said: A specter appeared to me
during the
night. I was afraid and recited the Basmala. Then he told me: "You have sought protection in something
great", and He disappeared.

b
And it is said that each of the letters of the Basmala is the key to one of His Names: the bā ' is the
key d e your _ Name _ _ _ ' Seer ' _ _ _ _ _ ( B a ½ ī r ), he to s in it is he to come and go _ d e your _
Name _ _ 'O y e n t e' ( S a m ī ' ), he to m ī m it is the key of His 'Owner' Name ( Malīk ) , the alif la of

them make up a prayer to God that is beneficial when undertaking any matter. Whoever harmonizes their
numbers and letters in a single square, sees as the work of God that which lacks qualifications. And who
knows his power, does not need the rest of the things, well in the resides the Name Supreme of God. Y is it

 And if we go into length talking about the c

subtleties, marvels, prodigies and knowledge that the

Basmala contains, we would lack time and it would
not be possible for us to explain the value of any of
the secrets of Lordship and any of the effects of
Eternity, because it is not what pertinent for this
moment in which we try to clarify this meadow full
of topazes and this leafy tree whose fruits are
emeralds. Ibn 'Abbās, may God be pleased with him,
said: “'Alī b. Abī Æālib grabbed me by the

and he said: “Recite, O Ibn 'Abbās!”, and I recited: “

Try to understand that, because God grants Wisdom to whom he wants, God is Immense, Omniscient.

Said [the Prophet], God it bless Y Hail!: “ The fatia of Book I it was granted of under of the Throne
” 2 . Y said, God it bless Y Hail!: “ A who arrives a its House Y recites the fatia Y the sura of worship, god
you pound of the poverty Y increases the right of its home ” 3 . Y said, the peace be with the!: “ The fatia of

Y you should to know that who understands the secret of the Praise ( al-©amd ), that it is the a

beginning of the Sublime Book, which in turn are the seven ayahs ( al-ma£ānī ), understands the secret of
Praise in Paradise, since the Praise of the Book is united to the Praise of the Paradise.
Said 'Ali b. Abī Æālib: “If I wanted to heavily load seventy camels with the interpretation of the
fati¬a , _ could do it". Said certain wise: "In is sura reside one thousand peculiarities ( jā ½½ i yy a ) _ visible
and a thousand hides”.

Said Maslama b. Qāsim b. Ibrāhīm 5 : “The Fāti¬a is the main part ( ra's ) of the Qur'an and its
pillar. It contains five Names, which are those with which God distinguished this surah above the rest of
them. And in it resides the Supreme Name of God, the Name with which when you invoke you are attended
and when you ask you are granted. The people of Science say that the Fāti¬a is found at the head of the
preserved Tablet, in the same way that they are found at the beginning of the sublime Qur'an, and that it is
written on the pavilions of the Throne and the Footstool. The number of its words is equal to the number of

The month is twenty-nine days, and sometimes it reaches thirty and other times it does not, and
that is because it corresponds to “ Āmīn ” 3 , since its recitation is not obligatory.

Y you should to know that the wāw of the Union in ﴾ al-¬amdu li-llah ﴿ it is the center of its orbit c

the principle that whoever recites a sura free of these seven letters that are inferior, God frees him from
entering Hell. They are found together in two noble verses of the sura of Los Rebaños 6 ; and you should
know that the absent letters are the protection against evil.

certain Gnostic said: whoever writes the Fāti¬a in a crystal bowl in the first hour of Friday, with d
a gold pen and with musk and camphor, then erases it with rose water, puts the filter in a jar ( qārūrā ) .
and he wets his face with it when going to see kings, princes, ministers and notables, because he will really
obtain their acceptance, affection and respect, God willing. If it is written in a clean container, it is erased
with water and the sick person cleans his face with it, he is cured, God willing. And if the forgetful person
writes it in a glass container, erases it with rose water and drinks from it for several days, his forgetfulness
decreases, God willing.

And in a trustworthy tradition it is said 7 : whoever wishes to recover from any weakness or injury and
that affects his sight, then let him contemplate the crescent on the first night. And if it is hidden by the
clouds, then try to contemplate it a second or a third night. When he sees her, let him rub his eyes with his
right hand and recite the Fāti¬a ten times, pronouncing the Basmala at the beginning and “ Āmīn ” at the p. 320

The number of words contained in the Fāti¬a is 29, the same number of the letters of the aliphato - counting the

The letters of Mu¬ammad added (40 + 8 + 40 + 40 + 4 = 132) plus the sum of the names of his letters (90 + 10
+ 90 + 90 + 35 = 315) equals 447 (132 + 315), which is equivalent to 'abd (76) plus the names of the letters of
Allah (111 + 71 + 71 + 111 + 7 = 371; 371 + 76 = 447); and the letters of 'A¬mad' (53) plus the sum of the names of
its letters (246) add up to 299, which is equivalent to the Name Ram¬mān.

That is, the wāw of ' al-¬amdu li-Llāh ' separates, on the one hand, al-¬amd , which is worth 58, twice the
number of words in the Fāti¬a (29), and on the other hand to Allāh , which is worth 66, half the number of letters

mystery of God is found in the Qur'an, in the headings of the suras.

Ibn 'Abbās was asked about ﴾ Alif-lām-rā' ﴿ , of ﴾ ©ā'-mīm ﴿ and of ﴾ Nūn ﴿ , and said: It is the
Name of the Merciful ( al-Ra¬mān ) spelled. And it has been said that they are the Names of the Koran -
said al-Suddī 2 , al-Kalbī 3 and Qattāda 4 -. They have also been said to be the letters by which God swears,
according to Ibn 'Abbas and 'Ikrima. And it is said that each letter corresponds to the sign of one of the
Names of God and one of His attributes.

continues to be loved and treated splendidly by kings and notables, so an extraordinary secret resides in it
to solve problems: value it in its fair measure, since it is part of the Supreme Lodestone.

﴾ ¼ād. By the Koran that contains the Memory! Without embargo the that I know deny a believe
show your arrogance Y rebellion ﴿ 2 .

Shaykh Zakī al-Dīn 'Abd al-'AÞīm 3 said , God have mercy on him!, that these letters bring out
prisoners and prisoners, and have many other uses.

And the blessed square that harmonizes with them is that of Venus, which is a 5 x 5 square, in its c
4
numerical bond with them . So we have it for these ayahs of sublime essence, since Venus is a star of good
omen that follows Jupiter ( al-sa'd al-akbar ) 5 in prosperity and balance, and indicates with its nature the
growth and increase. It is indicated for love, affection, placidity, joy, friends, brothers and relatives. And
since Venus is the fifth ascendant 6 , that's why we attribute the 5 x 5 magic square to Venus.

It is to be written when Venus is in her exaltation or in her zodiacal mansion and the moon is in
conjunction with one of the zodiacal signs that are appropriate to her, for this celestial bond is in harmony
with the noble divine bond [of letters], of so that the celestial and numerical secret is sustained in the
preserved and hidden mystery of divinity and its perfect and sacred light.

And we add to them ten of the most beautiful Names of God, of which five are found in the Fāti¬
and five in the sura of The Flocks 7 . Try to understand this sublime secret and this correct figure,
﴾ God grants His Sovereignty to whomever He wants. God is Immense, Omniscient ﴿ .

And this is the way it will be composed. Try to understand and you will prosper, God willing,
exalted be he!

A certain wise man said: when you look for a certain person, whether or not he is in the region p. 326
where you are, recite these five verses sixty times, for you will really find him or someone who tells you
his whereabouts, by the power of God! praised and exalted be! And when you have difficulty

421
Solve a need or a debt is claimed, recite these ayahs the mentioned number of times, because your
problem will really be solved with the corresponding person.

Said a prominent sage: as for ﴾ Æā'-hā' ﴿ , since it has the number fourteen, which it is the a
number of days of light on the moon, and is a superior amulet ( ¬ijab ).

And one of the masters of the essences said: when you are afraid of some tyrannical ruler or some
evil and oppressive person, then take five stones from the ground saying with the first " Kāf ", with the
second “ Hā' ”, with the third "Already'", with the quarter “ 'Ayn ” Y with the fifth “ ¼ād ”. After you will
throw the first stone to your right saying ﴾ His word ﴿ , you will throw the second one to your left saying ﴾
is the Truth ﴿ , you will throw the third behind you saying ﴾ and His is ﴿ , you will throw the fourth in
front of you saying
﴾ the Sovereignty ﴿ , Y you will hold the fifth on your head saying ﴾ Kāf - Hā'-Yā-'Ayn-¼ād ﴿ , ﴾ ©ā'-Mīm-
1

'Ayn-Sīn-Qāf ﴿ Hold your tongue, oh So-and-so son of So-and-so, regarding So-and-so son of So-and-so
by the right of the Supreme Name, by the right of these noble Names, ﴾ Kāf - Hā'-Yā-'Ayn-¼ād ﴿ ,
﴾ ©ā'-Mīm-'Ayn-Sīn-Qāf ﴿ , ﴾ Deaf, dumb and blind, they will not be able to return ﴿ . For truly God
2

will knot his tongue with respect to you, God willing, exalted be He!, for it is one of the preserved secrets.

You should to know, God us help a obey him Y a understand the secrets of Their Names!, what b
who arranges in a square these fourteen noble Names and subtle secrets, each crowned with a of the Letters
luminous -Y are these Names: Allah, Subtle ( L a Ð ī f ), Sovereign ( M a li k ), Sincere ( ¼ādiq ), Sufficient
( Kāfī ), Guide ( Hādī ), Knower ( 'Alīm ), Facilitator ( Muyassir ) 3 , Gracious ( Ra¬mān ), Healer ( Æabīb
), Peaceful ( Salām ), Living ( ©ayy ) , Subsistent ( Qayyum ), Light ( Nūr )-, on a golden plate while the
sun is at its zenith or in its mansion, for that person rises in rank, increases in power, widens his interior,
and opens his heart, since it is one of the preserved secrets 4 . And if he who is endowed with an elevated
spiritual condition constantly recites these Names of sublime essence, he sees by the work of God, blessed
and exalted be he, what cannot be described.

Y Yes tea you find in some place that tea infuse fear, Sit down in the I usually Y recites the five
c
aleyas, of which the first is: ﴾ Like the water that we make fall from the sky, with which the plants mix of the
Earth Y later I know convert in herb dry Y broken that the wind scatters ﴿ 5 , until the last
five o'clock You will recite them eleven times after you have drawn a line around yourself with your finger.
You will begin to trace the line on the ground with your finger behind your back while you recite, until you
close the circle in front of you. Then you will complete your recitation ten times, and in the recitation of
the first [ayah] you will

This Name corresponds to the letter yā' , since no Name of God is known to begin with that letter.

The magic square will appear on page 419.
5
Cor . xviii:44. It refers to the five verses quoted shortly before (pp. 414-5)

422
you will keep reciting eleven times 1 . Then you will be silent and you will not speak to anyone, because truly God,
exalted be! He will hide you from the eyes of the people, and even if all men and geniuses were to meet
you, they would not see you, God willing, exalted be!

A certain Gnostic said: you will recite these five verses sixty times when you go to see some d
authority, like a judge or another person, and when you reach the last of the sixty, you will say " Kāf " and
you will close a finger of your right hand, then you will say “ Hā' ” and you will close the second, you will
say “ Yā' ” closing the third, you will say “ 'Ayn ” and you will close the fourth, and you will say “ ¼ād ”
closing the fifth and the hand will be closed. Then you will do the same with your left hand, reciting ﴾ ©ā'
Mīm 'Ayn Sīn Qāf ﴿ , a letter with each finger to close the hand. And when you find yourself in front of
said person, you will open both hands in his face, because you will see a prodigy.

A certain Gnostic said, God be pleased with them!, that whoever recites these [five] ayahs sitting
on the ground and then moves his hands around him until placing them behind his back, placing one index p. 327
finger on the other, and begins the recitation ten times as he traces the line with his finger from behind him
to close the circle in front of him, [and at the end he says]: "Answer, O Servants of these Names, by the
right they hold over you, that you hide me from the eyes of all the people and in the eyes of the enemies”.
Then he will be silent and will not speak to anyone, because in this way he will be hidden from all eyes,
God willing, exalted be he!, while he remains silent, and when he speaks he will make himself visible.
Check it out, it's certain.

And whoever recites these illuminating secrets and these divine lights 256 times 2 and then prays a

for the Prophet, God bless him and save him!, 132 times 3 , because every need that he asks of God will be
solved, having in it an extraordinary secret for the kings and rulers, and for those who wish to achieve high
rank. If a king constantly recites it, his kingdom is enlarged, the number of his subjects increases, his
opinions are obeyed and people submit to him, for in him resides the hidden Supreme Name of God and
His most preserved treasure. magnificent.

And this is the way they will be arranged:

1
It seems to say that the first of the five ayats mentioned above will be recited eleven times, after having traced
the circle while reciting the other four ten times. The circle will be traced with both index fingers from behind the back
to close in front, as suggested in a similar ritual below.
2
We believe that it refers to the fourteen Names of God listed on the previous page, corresponding to
to the Luminous Letters, and that are harmonized in the following square. The number 256 is equivalent to 'Light' (
Nūr ), last of the fourteen Names.
3
Equivalent to Muammad.

423
 fig. 211

And you should know that each of these fourteen Names corresponds to a specific disposition
when it is harmonized in a square or in another type of talisman. Try to understand that, for God speaks the
Truth and He shows the Way.

You should know that each Name corresponds to letters and numbers, and to each number p. 328
corresponds to a magic square. Whoever harmonizes in a square the letters and numbers of each Name,
reveals the secret [of the Name] before him. As long as the number of a Name is odd, then all its influences
point to what singularity implies. And whenever the number is even, its influence works in union and the
like. When a Name is harmonized in a square with its letters and numerical values, separating them and
displaying them harmoniously, since that Name is essentially the Supreme Name, producing the same
effects as the Supreme and Absolute Name. And to every divine subtlety ( l a Ð ī f a ) 1
that resides in the
Names correspond nail verses of Koran, of the that depend Y with which they are linked.

I have ready these Names of way different Y the I have called subtleties ( l a Ð ā 'i f ), by How much
will we mention below:

1
Also “divine gift” or “beneficial effect”, according to T. Fahd (“La magie comme “source” de la sagesse”, p.
93).

corresponding ring and recite them.

[A SECTION ON THE VIRTUES OF SOME QUR'ANIC VERSES AND FORMULAS TO DEAL WITH DIABOLIC
SUGGESTIONS ]

His words, praised and exalted!: ﴾ And if you are stirred up by an incitement of Satan, seek c
refuge in God -as far as he says- and then they clearly perceive ﴿ . These ayahs are for devilish suggestions,
2

for fear, shudder, bad feeling, nightmares and fear. terror.

Whoever is affected by any of these situations, write the ayahs on seven sheets with rose water and saffron
on Friday at sunrise, and every day swallow a sheet with a little water, because they will really be cured of
it, God willing, exalted be!

I know transmit in the ¼a¬ī¬ of al-Bujārī Y of muslim that according to grandma Hurayra, God
East satisfied with the!, said the Prophet: “ Satan comes a any of you Y He says: "Who I think such stuff?,
Y who created such stuff? -until tell- Y, who I think a You Mister?", Y to the get a this Question, well
must seek refuge in God and His Prophet ” 3 . And in another version of the ¼a¬ī¬ it says: “ Men
continually ask each other until they say: God created all things, but who created God? who is found
in such circumstance, that say: I think in God Y in Their Messenger ” 4 .

Al-Tirmi²ī says that according to 'Ā'iša, may Allah be pleased with her! The Prophet said: “ who I know

in front a some of these whispers devilish, that say: “We believe in God Y in Their Prophet" three times,
well that I know will drive away of he ” 5 .

Muslim narrates that he said 'U£mān b. Abī al-'Ā½ 6 : "O Messenger of God, Satan has placed
himself between me and my prayer and my recitation, confusing me." And the Messenger of God said, God
bless you and save you!: “ That one it is the Devil to the that I know call janzab, Y when it feel close, search

al-Nawawī said in his Šar¬ Muslim 2 that Janzab is with a jā' punctuated 3 , a nūn with sukūn , then a zay
with a vowel , and finally a bā' with a single diacritic point. And scholars disagree on the vocalization of
the letter jā' , since some pronounce it with a vowel a , and others with a vowel i , these two being the best-
known variants, and still others pronounce it with a vowel u . This is recounted by Ibn al-A£īr in his Nihāya
al-Garīb 4 , and what is known is that it is pronounced with a vowel a or i .

And Abū Dawūd narrates that Abū Zumayl 5 said: “I asked Ibn 'Abbās: “What do I find inside and

me?”; and said, "What is it?" I said, "I swear to God I can't talk about it." then i said: "perhaps some
Doubts?", Y I know river. After said: "No one could get away of they until that God,
exalted be!, made descend: ﴾ Y Yes are in doubt of it that tea we have done descend ... ﴿ - the rest of the
ayah-” 6 . And then he told me: “If you find some doubts inside you, say: ﴾ He is the First and the Last,
the Visible Y the Hidden, Y it is Knowledgest of all the stuff ﴿ 7 .

Saying "There is no god but Allah" is recommended for those who are victims of Satan's whispers
during ablutions, prayers and similar things, because when the Devil hears the Remembrance, he slips away
8
, that is, he backs off and away, and "There is no god but Allah" is the main part of the Remembrance.
That is why the Lords of Creation ( sādat al-jalq ) 9 , quintessence of the Ummah , chose that the path of
the well-guided and the discipline of the disciples be in the diction of "There is no god but Allah" at the
time of his spiritual retreat. They ordered them to recite it constantly and said: The most effective way to
avoid devilish suggestions is to indulge in the Remembrance of God constantly.

Shaykh A¬mad b. al-Jwārizmī 10 : “I lamented to Sulayman al-Dārānī 11 about the whispers of the
devil that were disturbing me, and he said: If you want to take him away from you the moment you feel p. 330
them, then feel joy, since when you are happy he moves away of you. There is nothing more hateful to the
Devil than happiness of Believer, while that when you feel sadness intensifies their whispers.

You will write it on Wednesday on reed leaves with clinopodium water, saffron and rose water,
along with the name of whoever you want. Then you will hang it in the wind and perfume it with olibanum
incense. Your food during the spiritual retreat will be bread and oil, and you will retire for seven days to a a

break the fast with what we already mentioned without staying completely sated. You will recite them at

This is the Seal of Obedience, and in it is found the Prompt Name and the elevated ascendant. You
will write in 1180 a name, and that is what you will write the ascendant in; this number is found in three
letters, and in it there is anticipation and delay. Try to understand, because the walls have ears and listen

Cor . lxix:12. The meaning of the paragraph is uncertain, and the manifest secrecy of its words does not help its
interpretation. It seems to suggest that in the following figure the name of the planetary ascendant should be written in
the place in that occur three letters whose worth it is 1180, the which No with him to identify (Y would have that be a

is correct, or that the names of the figure are correct, which in general coincide with some of the previous invocation.
On the other hand, if the number were 1081 (altering the order of the figures is a common mistake), it would be
equivalent to Mars ( al-Marrīj ). In any case, it is noteworthy that manuscript D (before ms. base) No contain that

Then fold the writing, smear it with aromatic civet and put the writing inside the pillow on which they sleep,
because they will truly love each other, God willing, exalted be He!

peace be upon him!, and he said: there are many stories we have about them , and what I have found to be
true is that when you want to use them, you will fast seven days and not talk to anyone. Each of these days
you will give alms to three poor people and you will perfume your place of prayer in the morning and at
night with frankincense and aloe stick, and you will recite the names at the end of each prayer seven times.
When the term is complete, you will recite them internally, and you will not invoke with them before a
padlock, chain or lock without it opening before you in the twinkling of an eye, thank God, exalted be He!
This is what you will say: “In the Name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Lord of Halbā bint

SECTION IN WHICH I WILL MENTION THE SEAL OF S ULAYMĀN

a
You should know that God protects the one who wears this ring, as long as he keeps himself from
committing sins, is in a state of purity and with clean clothes, and is quiet and fearful of God, for in this
way he will be promptly cared for. And it is the Seal of Obedience that only the strong in God ( al-'azīz )
can attain.

Said Wahb b. Munabbih 1 , God be pleased with him!, that the Seal of Sulaymān was written on
four pillars, found on the right side "I am God, I do not cease to be"; on the left side "I am God, the Living,
the Subsistent"; on the third side "I am God, the Mighty One, there is no Mighty One except Me and the
one whom I cover with my Seal"; and in the side room is written the verse of the Throne, surrounding
"Mu¬ammad is the Messenger of God", God bless and save you!
b

AWAY : and it is said that the Names that were on the Seal of Sulaymān, peace be upon him!, are
these: “There is no god but Allah, only He, without associate. I am God, I am Unique in Sovereignty and
Dominion, AYL AYL AYL . I am God, I am Strong in Power and Omnipotence, YĀH YĀH YĀH . I am God,

 And al-©iŷrī 1 narrates
that Ka'b al-A¬bār 2 , God be pleased with him!, said: “On the carpet of a

Sulaymān, peace be upon him!, there were some names with which the geniuses were struck down and
frightened, to which they obeyed and with which they were punished. And in the center of the carpet there
were four names in the Hebrew language forming a square 3 , by virtue of which the geniuses and demons
submitted without disobeying for a single moment. The spirits in charge of holding up the carpet were four
powerful jinn ( 'afārīt ) 4 , who were Sulaymān's most important ministers among the jinn. Sulaymān's
ministers, peace be upon him!, numbered three hundred men, the most important of them being Āaf b. b
Barajyā, and three hundred geniuses, of which the most important are these four: ÝMRYĀÆ ,
¼N'YQ , HDLYĀŶ and ŠŪGĀL . Geniuses and demons owe great obedience to these names, so conceive
their dignity and virtue, do not despise them and do not reveal them to any of God's creatures. Beware of
ordering the four geniuses to submit, and instead you will say: “O the four revered servant spirits and
ministers, [I invoke you] so that you may ordain and designate whoever solves my need and whatever
pleases me, for the sake of right of the Prophet of God Sulaymān, and by the right of Whom said: ﴾ Said a
genius 'Ifrit: me tea it I'll bring before of that tea get up of your seat, me I've got strength for it and I am
trustworthy ﴿ 5 , ﴾ It is from Sulaymān, and it is “in the Name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Nope
you get up against my, come a my subjected ﴿ 6 , ready, in Calm down Y with serenity".

You will write each name on its corresponding day, in a state of ritual purity, with clean clothes c

and in a place without impurity. You will write it in the hour of its corresponding planet and you will
perfume it with the most aromatic and best incense. Later, at night, you will expose it to the air under the
stars reciting the surah Yā' Sīn and the surah of Sovereignty 7 . Each of these four names corresponds to a
day:
To the first, which is ÆAYŪM, on Sunday. His hour is the first, with the rising of the sun, and his
servant is the 'ifrīt ¾MRYĀÆ . The owner of the hour is al-Mu²hib al-Kibrīt, and this is his name:
HŠÆŠLHKŪŠ , nine letters.

The second corresponds to Tuesday and its first hour. His servant is the 'ifrīt ŠWGĀL and the
owner of the hour is al-A¬mar Abū al-Tawābi' 8 , and this is his name: KŠKŠLY'ŪŠ , nine letters.
The third corresponds to Wednesday and its first hour. His servant is the 'ifrīt DYBĀŶ 9 . The
owner of the hour is Burqān, his planet is Mercury, and this is his name: B©ŠHŠLÆŪŠ , nine letters.
And the fourth corresponds to Saturday and its first hour. His servant is the 'ifrīt ¼N'YQ. The
owner of the hour is Mīmūn Abū Nūj, and this is his name: ŠÆLÆÆLKŪŠ , nine letters. And they take
place in every name nine letters because it is the number plus high, the plus powerful Y the latest of they.

reach the coast because it deviated from the ship in which I was, while of the remaining ships not a trace

 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN p. 339

ABOUT THE PECULIAR VIRTUES OF THE AAYA OF THE THRONE AND ITS DIVINE BLESSINGS .

!, that the Names have allusive meanings , and one of the most virtuous gave an account of the most
sublime Names ( a l - ½ ā li ¬ ūn a ) masters _ _ _ _ _ d e he or s you are _ _ _ mystics , _ _ _ _ d e he to I
n f o r m a t i o n Y d e he or s Names _ _ saying that the most sublime ayah of the Book of God is the great
and revered ayah of the Throne , by His saying: ﴾ His Throne spans the heavens and the earth ﴿ . And that
in ﴾ Alif-lām-mīm ﴿ there is a great meaning, since the alif is from “ Allāh ”, the lām from ﴾ to Him (la-hu)
belong the heavens and the earth ﴿ , and the mim of ﴾ King of the Sovereignty ﴿ .

And you must know that when this ayah descended on the Prophet, God bless him and save!, forty
thousand angels descended next to her for glory and greatness of their power. So conceive the value of what a
came before you, because it is the saving, protective, defending and preserving ayah. She really is the
mistress ( sayyida ) of the Qur'an, and is one third of it. That is what has been transmitted in some reliable
traditions, in which it is said that whoever recites it at the beginning of the night does not come near any
demon, and in the same way whoever recites it at the beginning of the day. And the Lord, the Obeyed ( al-
M u Ð ā ' ) 1 it mentioned for that I know understood the sense hidden of the ayah of Throne.

The ayah of Throne contains hundred seventy letters, fifty words Y seven sections ( f u ½ ūl ).
Whoever recites it the number of times of its letters -one hundred and seventy-, wanting to be interceded
for him before a powerful man, whoever he may be, finds his intercessor.

Whoever finds himself in an adverse situation recites it one hundred and seventy times in the
middle of the night, in a state of ritual purity and oriented towards the Qibla, God promptly consoles him. b

Whoever recites it the number of times of his words to understand something in which your light
is insufficient [...] and is protected from diabolical inspirations.

Who the recites the number of times of their sections the Friday after the prayer of the afternoon (
a l-' a ½ r ) in a place without noise, in a state of ritual purity and oriented towards the qibla, and finds in his
heart a condition that he does not recognize and a feeling of baseness, so he prays to God, that he will be
cared for in everything concerning this life and the Other.

Whoever recites it in the middle of the night 225 times gets rid of his enemy because God, exalted
be he! destroy. c

1
Both epithets of the Prophet.

436
 Whoever recites it 313 times to seek and attract sustenance obtains it and is loved by all creatures.

And to those who are anguished by some matter and recite it 313 times, God frees them from what
worries them, be it related to this life or the Hereafter, and opens before them the door of blessings as long
as they continue to recite it.

Whoever recites this noble ayah and writes it with the letters separated in a glass bowl with saffron, d

rose water and musk, and drinks from it the number of days of its letters, during which he will make a fast
that will break it, God grants him the power to speak with mastery of the genres of Wisdom. The beginning
of this work will take place in the month of Nīsān 1 , and if some water is added to it it is better. When you
want to break the fast with the ayah, as we mentioned, you will recite the ayah of the Throne seven times
and say: "My God, I beg you for the Truth of this noble ayah, that you inspire me with Your divine Science,
I beg you grant a knowledge”, and you will mention it, for indeed God will grant you your knowledge.
petition.
I indicated this to one of the brothers, so he made use of it, and had hardly completed the number and
of recitations mentioned when God revealed all kinds of knowledge to him, he obtained what he had
requested and much more. God guides who he wants.

And one of its peculiar virtues is that when you wear new clothes, you will recite it over a seam of
the garment and when you put it on you will say: "My God, in the same way that you dress me in new
clothes, I beg you to make me live happily." and grant me a long life”, because really the servant angels of
this noble ayah ask for the forgiveness of the one who wears that garment until they take it off. And if the
sura of Decree 2 is added to this , then it is more cash.

Another of the peculiar virtues of this noble ayah is that when you go to visit a sick person, ask p. 340
him about his illness, and if that is a headache or another pain, you will write the ayah with the letters
separated and you will hang it on him in the pain area. And if the patient tells you that his condition is inside
or throughout his body, then draw the well-known magic square of the verse in a glass bowl, writing it with
musk, saffron and rose water. Then write the noble ayat also with the letters separated, and next to it write
the ayats of healing, which are: ﴾ He will heal the breasts of people believers ﴿ 3 . ﴾ A healing for it that
there are in the breasts, a guide Y a mercy for believers ﴿ 4 . ﴾ Contains a healing for the mens ﴿ 5 . ﴾ With
the Koran we make descend a healing Y a mercy for the believers ﴿ 6 . ﴾ Y when am sick I healing ﴿ 7 . ﴾ Gave:
for the that believe it is a

times over it and you will give it to the sick person to drink, for he will certainly be cured, God willing,
exalted be he!

Another peculiar virtue of this verse is that whoever has a phlegmatic condition, well He will take
s
even pinches of white salt, reciting the noble verse seven times with each of them, and he will take them fasting.
during seven days counted, well Really God will that disappear that that you it affects.

And it is told of a certain person who saw horrible things in his dreams that terrified him, so he
went to see one of the teachers of spiritual disposition and complained to him about what was happening to
him in his dreams. Then the šayj said to him : “When you go to bed, seek refuge in God from the Demon
stoned three times 2 , then recite the ayat of the Throne three times, and when you get to where it says ﴾ and
it does not cause him fatigue to maintain them. He is the Most High, the Sublime ﴿ , repeat it three times
and sleep, because you will really get rid of what happens to you. That person did the same and after that
nothing disturbed him again.

Other virtue peculiar of the ayah of Throne it is that when you want to go a watch a some ruler or b
powerful and fear his wickedness, for you will say when you go to him “May the faces be distorted ( šāhat al-
wujūh )” 3 three times, you will recite the verse of the Throne three times and then you will say: “My God, bring
down through Your beauty, Your affection, Your generosity and the traits of Your Lordship that with which

Then you and those who are with you will be silent without speaking a single word, because even
if a large group comes to meet you with the intention of harming you, they will not harm you or bother you,
and God will hide you from them. I have tried it numerous times myself, try to understand and you will
succeed.

You must know brother, may God guide us to the understanding of His mysteries!, that this noble a
ayah and the sublime Names descended from under one leg of the Throne, and when it descended on the
Messenger of God, God bless him and save!, seventy thousand angels 14 descended beside her , glorifying
and exalting her. It is the saving ayah from terror, fear, the evil of men and jinn, and whoever recites it in a
place that inspires fear is safe, protected and guarded, because it is the ayah of Custody ( al-¬aras ) . . And
it has seventy-two possible provisions, whose mention I will omit for fear that they fall into the hands of
the ignorant who are unaware of their power, so that reprehensible acts are committed and what is
appropriate is not done with it. We have opened a door for whoever wants to enter a East treasure of sublime
essence: ﴾ God guide a who wants towards the right path ﴿ 15 .

Among the peculiar virtues of the verse of the Throne, when a person goes on a trip, when leaving b

Then he will recite the verse of the Throne and ﴾ Say: He is God, One ﴿ 1 three times and he will spit to his
right and to his left 2 . And if you want to shorten it, then you will recite what we have mentioned and then
you will spit into the palms of your hands and rub your head, face and whole body with them, because God
will really save you from everything that frightens you and worry until you get home.

Another of its peculiar virtues is that whoever recites it at dawn God keeps him safe until nightfall, c

and whoever recites it at nightfall keeps him safe until dawn. If you recite it on the head of a epileptic ( m
to ½ rū ' ) eleven times, I know resets in the act; Y Yes the cause resist Y No comes out of body, it will be
consumed ( itaraqa ) 3 .

Another of its peculiar virtues is that if it is recited at the end of the prayers, all the sins and faults
of the person who made the prayer are erased.

If it is recited when facing a tyrant or some oppressive ruler, and then it is said: "My God, oh
Living, oh Subsisting, oh Creator of heaven and earth, oh Lord of Majesty and Generosity, I ask you for
the Truth of this noble ayah and the mysteries for the comprehension that they contain, that you cover his
mouth and mute his tongue with respect to me, so that he can only say well or be silent. Your good is in
front of you, oh So-and-so, and your evil is under your feet. Then he will go before him, for really God will
cover his mouth and will not cause him any harm, God willing, exalted be he!

Another of its virtues is that if you fear the evil of someone who has caused you harm, then pray d

after the sunset prayer ( al-magrib ) two rak'at with the Fāti¬a and the ayah of the Throne, Whenever it is
the last prostration, recite the verse of the Throne three times while prostrating, and when you come to
where it says: ﴾ and it does not cause him fatigue to maintain them. He is the Most High, the Sublime ﴿
, repeat it three times or seven times, and you will say in the middle of your recitation: “My God, stand
between me and So-and-so son of So-and-so in the same way that you stand between heaven and earth, and
cover his mouth with respect to me , just as you held back the beasts in front of Dāniyāl, peace be upon
him! By the right of these noble Names”. Then you will see yourself safe from his wickedness and his
mouth will be closed against you, so that he will not be able to say anything about you that is not Okay.

Another of its virtues is that when you find yourself in a crowd and want to save yourself from p. 342

their wickedness and offenses, recite the noble ayah three times, spit into your hands three times and rub
yourself.

In medieval folk medicine, epilepsy was nothing more than being possessed by a jinn , so in this

people, oh Protector, and save me from their offenses, oh Preserver", for truly God will save you from them
and they will not harm you some, God willing, exalted be! And if you recite this sublime verse at night,
you are safe until dawn; and if you recite during the day you are safe until nightfall.

I know bill of a men that I know shelter in a House abandoned, Y when it got dark the night to
heard [...] and a jingle, so the man looked up and saw a black figure with fire coming out of its nostrils,
crawling across the ground directly towards him. He said: “When I saw him I was very scared, so I had the
inspiration to recite the verse of the Throne, and every word that I said he said with me, until I got to where
it says ﴾ and it does not cause him fatigue to maintain them. He is the Most High, the Sublime ﴿ , and
then he didn't recite it, so I repeated it several times and he disappeared without seeing him again for the
rest of the night. When dawn came I saw that in one of the corners of the house there was ash. I was
astonished by this and went to tell one of my brother devotees what had happened, and he told me, “He
really was an 'ifrīt who wanted to harm you, and this noble ayah set him on fire, because you were inspired
to recite it.” When I heard that, I adopted the recitation of the ayah as wird and as ²ikr night and day, and
by his blessing I saw things wonderful”.

Other of their virtues peculiar it is for the geniuses female Y the she-devils ( al-quranā' wa-l- b

has the number 483. Whoever arranges it in a square through the secret of harmonic lace, engraving the
square in a noble material the first hour of Friday, well, if he wears it with himself, he sees by the wonders
of God's work that which cannot be described, in terms of acquiring glory, magnificence and respect in the
eyes of people. So in him resides a wonderful secret to go see the judges, kings, notables and ministers, and
ask for needs. This is how it will be arranged:

Said al-©asan b. 'Alī, may God rest in His glory!: “I attest that whoever recites this noble verse and
and twenty other verses, God, exalted be He, protects him from every rebellious demon, from every wicked
person, from every thief traitor and every dangerous beast. They are the ayat of the Throne and three ayats

sura “Perish!” 6 .

Another of the peculiar virtues of the noble ayah of the Throne is that when one of you is distressed
by something, well, make ablutions in the dark of night and pray two rak'at , in each one with the Fāti¬ay
the verse of the Throne three times. And when he utters the taslīma , he will recite the noble verse seven
times, and after that he will say this blessed prayer: “My God, truly You hear my words, You see the place
where I am, You know the inner and the outer in me, and nothing what concerns me is hidden from you. I
invoke you with the prayer of the unfortunate, the poor, the one who asks for help, the one who implores
help and the one who recognizes his sins and faults. I make you the plea of the unfortunate, I make you the

hearts, open our chests, and make our efforts to improve pure before Your noble face and the means to
b
achieve bliss ( al-na'īm ). Guide us, our Lord, towards what only brings Your pleasure, make us reach a
good ending, and place us tomorrow among those whom you have favored from among the prophets, the

Do not make our enemies or envious people rejoice in our misfortune, do not put misfortune in our faith,
do not let earthly life be our greatest concern or the sum of our knowledge, and do not give the authority to
punish our faults to those who do not fear You and do not take pity on us. Fill our ears and eyes with joy,
revitalize us, open for us the doors of the goods you bestow and ﴾ Provide us, You are the Best of providers

Another of the peculiar virtues of this noble verse is that if it is written on the shroud of the dead in c
three places, next to his head, in the middle and next to the feet, because really that deceased person will not be
tormented in his grave, and the two angels 5 will treat him with benevolence at the time of the interrogation, well
it is the ayah plus sublime of Koran Y have beginning with the Name hallowed,
exalted and glorified be He Who says!: ﴾ Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Subsisting ﴿ . So
conceive her power, and pray with her for important things and to solve needs.

It is also told of a certain virtuoso who was in a ship against which he I know a n i m p e t u o u s w i n d
had

r
isen , and with which hardly anyone could be saved from death. So he wrote the verse of the Throne on a piece of
paper, hung it in the wind and stretched out his hands towards God saying this prayer: “My God, I pray for Your
sublime Name ﴾ Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the
subsistent ﴿ -until the end of the ayah-. I beg you, my God, for Your blessing, that you free us from the
misfortune that afflicts us, You are the Knower of hidden things and the One Who removes worries. And I
ask you, my God, for the salvation of Your most noble beloved, Muammad, God bless him and save him!
And as soon as he finished his prayer, God, exalted be He, relieved them and gave them a favorable wind,
so that they sailed in peace and insurance.

And among the virtues of this noble verse, whoever wants God to cure him of all illness that is
f
ound in his body and all pains and sufferings, [so write it in a container with musk, saffron and rose water], and
write next to it His saying ﴾ if we had done descend

writing, the ayat of the Throne will be recited seven times, the writing will be vaporized with everything
that has a pleasant smell and [the filter made with the writing] will be drunk for three days in the morning
and in the evening, for truly God, exalted be He, will heal you and restore you from everything that affects
you. And also if it is written and it is hung, it is more appropriate and effective: God is the one who heals,

And among the virtues of this noble ayah, you will write it for the crying of children and you will
make them hang it: You will write the noble Fāti¬a with the letters separated and in the same way the ayah
of the Throne three times. And you will write: ﴾ God is Invincible in His Command ﴿ 5 , ﴾ But if they turn

Another of its virtues is to tie tongues: the verse of the Throne will be written on a Hindu parchment b
with the letters separated, and next to it these Names will be written: “ NŪŪ , then FŪŪ , and then NŪŪĀ
, ﴾ and they will not speak ﴿ 2 . Every king is a slave ( mamlūk ) before God, every rich man is poor and

Another of its virtues is that when you have an enemy or a tenacious adversary, or you fear the
malice of an unjust ruler or a tyrannical evil, and you want to curb his wickedness or make him perish if he
is deserving of it, then when it is the night of the Friday, get up in the middle of the night or in the last third
of the night, perform ablutions and pray two rak'at with the intention you want from those mentioned. In
the first you will recite the Fāti¬a once and the Throne ayat nine times, and in the same way in the second,
and when you pronounce the taslīma , you will say the Throne ayat nine times also. Then you will say:

“My God, You are the Intense in violence, the Severe in punishment, the Sublime, Lord of Dominion, the
Exalted above opponents and adversaries, the free from companions and descendants. I ask you for the
oppression of the enemies and the repression of the tyrants, you plot against whom you want, you are the
best plotter. I beg you by Your Name before which they bow their heads, with which you make them come
down from their fortifications, strike terror into the hearts of enemies 1 and fill them with unhappiness a
the Miserables. I ask you to reinforce me through one of the subtle essences of this Name that
Invade my enemies, in the elements of their whole and their parts, so that I can be able to do what I want
with those who do me harm, so that no evildoer can harm me, nor can any oppressive tyrant harm me. Make
my anger yours, united with Your own anger, weaken the eyes of my enemies on me, tighten their hearts
and put between them and me a wall in which there is a door, inside which is Mercy, and outside of it is
torment. You are really energetic in the lesson, Harmful in the punishment. ﴾ So it is What You Mister
rebukes when punishes a a city that it is unfair. It is certain that Their punishment it is painful Y severe ﴿
2
. -Y of the verses of Koran that are own- ﴾ But God punished them because of their transgressions and
there was no one to protect them from God. ﴿ 3 . ﴾ Really the violence of You Mister it is great ﴿ 4 . ﴾ The
the chided with a punishment each greater time ﴿ 5 . ﴾ So it was cut the root of village of the unfair.
Y praised be God, Mister of the
worlds! ﴿ 6 . -And you will say:- My God, I ask you for the blessing and the secret of that with which I beg you, b
that you oppress my enemies and me who wishes evil, ﴾ Who is the Dominator over His servants ﴿ 7 ,
repress So-and-so son of So-and-so, because I really demand his slitting. Deliver me from their wickedness
and keep away from me their perfidy and their malice, oh Lord of the worlds”. Well, really God will protect
you and defend you from him, being safe from his evil. And if he tries to attack you, he dies immediately.
And if the person making the prayer is endowed with an appropriate spiritual state, as soon as he gets up
from his place, his problems will be solved. About of to understand, ﴾ Y who sorry Y I know reconcile, well
its reward depends of God ﴿ 8 .
﴾ God helps with His help whom He wants ﴿ . Every servant who implores God with this invocation in the
9

first thing in the morning on Saturday and conjures up whoever does him wrong, he gets him to be punished on the
spot.

Other virtue peculiar of is noble ayah it is that when have need of some of the things c
basic, well you will enter in some mosque Y you will pray two rak'at : the first with the fatia a time Y the
verse of the Throne seven times, and in the same way in the second. And when you utter the taslīma , stand
up, go up to the mi¬rab , grab it with your hands by the sides, shake it and say “O Lord” seven times, “O
Exalted” seven times, “O Patient, O Patient, O Generous , O Merciful” seven times, and “O Who meets
needs” seven times. Then you will say this blessed prayer: “Lord, make me able to do without what is not

something. Make me reach my intimate essence, elevate me towards the Lotus

secret of the descent to the last spiritual degrees and the perfection towards the first ones, so that the speech
is interrupted, the activity of the creatures is calmed, the point of the gayn is erased and the one replaces
the two. My God, make me part of the secret that you facilitated to many of Your servants, support me with d
it through a resplendent light that dazzles the sight of all envious among geniuses and men. Grant me a lofty
ladder to every spiritual abode and make me dispense with all that is not You, with a wealth that reaffirms
my need for You, while You are the Rich, the Praiseworthy 2 . My God, I ask you to solve my need, to
facilitate my affairs, to restore my fracture, to fix my disorder and my mediocrity, and to solve my problem,
which is such and such a thing." And you will ask what you want regarding getting out of poverty,
facilitating something or clarifying some worrying or distressing matter and everything you want, for He is
the Most Generous of all those who are asked and the Best of those who grant. Be straight your thought
and your intention, and thus you will obtain what you want. And the ayah of Koran that corresponds with is
prayer it is ﴾ Perhaps No tea found orphan Y tea protection?, Y Did he not find you lost and guide you? p. 346
And did he not find you poor and make you rich? ﴿ 3 . Try to understand this extraordinary allusion, for
God speaks the Truth and He shows the road.

Another of the peculiar virtues of the noble verse of the Throne is when you need something from a
a powerful person and you want to obtain it, then you will refrain that day from eating food with fat, or if
you prefer, you will fast all day, being that way better; and when the time comes to break your fast, you
will take something that is sweet. Then you will do the sunset prayer ( al-magrib ), and at the end you will
be seated in the place of your prayer and you will begin with the recitation of the ayah of the Throne. You
will not speak at any time to anyone and will remain in this manner until the evening prayer ( al-'išā' ).
Then you will sit and recite the verse of the Throne seventeen times, saying after each one: "My God,
submit to me the heart of So-and-so son of So-and-so or So-and-so son of So-and-so." You will do this until
you complete the number of times mentioned, and you will say: “My God, oh Living, oh Perpetual, oh
Eternal, oh Lover, I ask you to send affection and love to the heart of Fulano son of Fulana, that you solve
my problem, that you constrict his heart through affection and affection towards me, and increase your
efforts until he is obedient to me and does not contradict me in what concerns me. By the right of Your
Name 'the Lover', and by the right of the secrets of this noble verse. Take care, oh servant spirits of the
verse of the Throne, to attract the heart of So-and-so son of So-and-so to the heart of So-and-so, son of So-

you."

And you will write this noble square that we mentioned below. then you will fumigate the paper a
with Indian aloe stick of good color, benzoin, mastic, pepper, unpowdered saffron, nadd wood , marshmallow
seeds, seven grains of acerolo ( tuffāh al-jabal ) 1 , seven grains of agenuz and seven grain
of the incense of the churches. And when you fumigate the paper, you will fold it by rolling it up with the
name of whoever you want and you will say: "I will roll up your tongue, oh So-and-so son of So-and-so, in
the same way that I fold this paper." Then you will spin the paper around the head of whoever you want
three times, and if this is not possible, then you will spin the sheet away from him in any case. Then the
applicant will put the writing under the turban, between the eyes, and will go to see whoever they want, in
the event that the name of only one person has been written. But if it is desired for all human beings, both
male and female, then he will fumigate himself with the mentioned incense and put himself under the
turban, because he will really see the amazing affection that all creatures will show him. The indispensable
condition for this is to persist in reciting the ayah of the Throne seventeen times every day, thus seeing what
miraculous.
And this is the square:

Other of the virtues of the ayah of Throne it is for the love Y the Union of who I know they hate. For
this
y
ou will begin the work at an hour that is a good omen for what we have just mentioned, and you will write the
names of those who hate each other on a sheet that you will place in front of you. then you will drink Fourty
grains of olibanum incense that are the size of pepper, and forty grains of mandrake. Then you will divide
the incense into two halves, having twenty grains of each incense in each half, and you will burn two grains
at a time until you complete the forty times, while reciting the ayah of the Throne [each time]. And every
five times you recite it, you will say: "Take care, oh servant spirits of this noble ayah, to make love and
affection reach between So-and-so son of So-and-so and So-and-so son of So-and-so, for the right that
exercises is sura on you Y its blessing in you, Y by the law of who said a
the heavens and the earth: ﴾ Come to Me willingly or by force; and they said: we come to You obediently ﴿ 2 .
When you finish the recitation, you will write the square that we will mention next on one of those c
leaves, and you will write next to the square these noble verses and these sublime Names: "My God, I ask
you, oh Living, oh Subsistent, oh Whom eyes do not see nor categories determine, describers do not

And you must know, God help me to obey Him and understand the secrets of His Names!, that a
another of the peculiar virtues of the noble verse of the Throne is for love, acceptance and respect before
the powerful. When you want that, draw this square that I will show you next on a gazelle skin parchment,
and it will be written with
musk, saffron and rose water. You will
write around the square the verse of
the Throne and you will perfume it
with incense when writing it and when

invocation: "My God, I ask you, oh Deity of the first and last !, oh Who attends the prayer of the needy! I

It is said of a certain virtuous that when the night grew dark, he went to his mi¬rāb and prayed
what God wanted. And at the end of his prayer he said this blessed prayer with this noble ayah: "[My God],
You are You, hope ends except in You, goods are exhausted except in You and the roads are lengthened
except those that lead to You , Oh Security of those who have no more confidence than the one deposited
in You! I. .. you

and by the majesty of Your might, to bless and save our lord Muammad, the greatest Beloved, the revered
Prophet and the glorified Messenger, our lord and our prophet Mu ¬ammad, God bless and save you! And
I beg you for the dignity of the good and pure people of his house, for the dignity of all his companions,
and for the dignity of the followers and those who follow them in doing good until Judgment Day. I ask

Whoever prays to God in a low voice and in the middle of the night with this blessed prayer, and
asks God for something, is granted whatever he asks for, since God is the Owner of the immense Favor.
Try to understand.

d
Another virtue of this noble ayah is that when one of you has some earthly or otherworldly need,
well, get up in the middle of the night and pray four rak'at , reciting the Fāti¬a once in each one of them.
and the verse of the Throne ten times. Then he will raise his hands and face to the sky and invoke with this
prayer: "My God, I ask you, oh Allah, oh Allah, oh Allah, oh Living, oh Subsisting, oh He Who is not
affected by drowsiness or the dream. I ask you, my God, by the sanctity of the ayah of the Throne, that you
do such and such a thing for me, and that you make me achieve all my desires, my objectives and what I
ask of You ". Then you will make your request and you will name it, because God will really find it fair to p. 350
solve it. And finally you will pray for the Prophet, God bless him and save!, at the beginning and at the end
finish your worked, well So will be prosperous, Yes God wants: God it is Who concedes the success.
a
Another property of the verse of the Throne is that whoever recites it during the day, God protects
him during that day, and whoever recites it at night, God protects him during that night.
And to the one who recites the ayah of the Throne at the end of each prayer, God forgives all his
sins.
Another of its virtues is that to those who recite it at the end of each prayer, God forgives their sins
and erases the faults they have made since the previous one. prayer.
Whoever recites it when going to sleep, thus obtains protection against the stoned Demon.

 Whoever recites it when he is enraged and spits to his left, the Devil withdraws along with his
bad influence, and anger disappears from him by God's command, exalted be he!

We will mention this blessed invocation below with the verse of the Throne, and we have omitted b
His explanation and what is related to it so that it does not fall into the hands of those who do not know
Him, and invoke with it being attended, since it is a sublime invocation of enormous power and wonderful
essence. You will say: “ ﴾ Allah, there is no god but He . He is Unique in perpetuity and eternity, and the
essence of the created beings themselves does not subsist together with His essence, nor their attributes
together with His attributes, nor their names together with His Names, nor their actions together with His
actions. No one equals Him, and in reality there is no more beauty than His beauty, nor more glory than
His, nor more perfection than His, for He eternally perseveres in His perfection. The Living, the Subsistent,
the Eternal on His Throne in the eternity of His Sovereignty, and all creatures are guided towards the
knowledge of Him, and know that He is Unique in His Sovereignty, One in His Perpetuity. Exalted be His

Who grabs me by the lock of my forehead 1 , Goal of my search, Hope in my adversity, Who accompanies
me in my solitude, Who takes pity on my lesson, Who exempts me from my mistake and Who answers my
prayer. And if I have failed to do what you ordered me and I have committed what you prohibited me, then
with Your Glory you protect me and with Your veil you cover me. Oh the Noblest of the generous, oh Goal
of the seekers, oh King of Judgment Day, You know what is hidden in intimacy and you are the one who
arranges the affairs of insignificant Y of powerful, well Yes with him solve me need, it is by You favour.

I ask you to intercede for me, to have mercy on me with Your Mercy, oh the most Clement of the
merciful. I ask you, my God, by the right of this noble ayah and these understandable Names, to bless and
save our lord Muammad and the family of Muammad, and to grant me my prayers and what I ask of You,
oh Allah, oh Allah, oh Allah, oh Lord of the Worlds!”

Another virtue of the noble ayah of the Throne is that when the servant of God is very sinful and c
wants to stop committing faults and sinning, he should get up on the nights of the full moon of the month,
which are those of the 13th, On the 14th and 15th of the month, clean your clothes and your room and get
up in the middle of the night. Then he will do the ritual ablutions and pray four rak'ats , reciting the Fāti¬a
once in the first one and the Throne verse seven times, and he will do the others as in the first. And when I
utter the taslīma , I know will remain seated, will ask sorry a God seventy times Y beg to by the Prophet,
God you bless and hail!, seventy times in the following way: "My God, grant our lord Mu-ammad a blessing
and a salvation with which you free us from all catastrophes and misfortunes, with which you solve all our
needs, erase our doubts , elevate us to the highest of the steps and make us reach the most extreme limits of
goods in life and in death, with a blessing that I keep for the day of the Great Fright 2 and the fear of that
day . And bless and save his family, his relatives and companions".

Then you will begin to recite this blessed prayer saying: “My God, You are the Forgiving One
who turns to You in repentance, You are the One Who approaches the one who repents and who removes d

the darkness of the veil. You know the treacherous glances and what is contained in the breasts , You can
do everything, matters depend on you and evils are prevented by You. My God, I ask You through the
mystery of Your Name, a mystery of Your Mystery, a light from Your Light and a breath of Your Decree p. 352
to calm me down for what You have predestined, help me with a grace from You that puts me on guard
when I neglect and let me know when I ignore, show me the way to You, and be my travel companion in
this life and in return. For You is my effort, in You resides my support, to You is my return and in front of
You the place where

purification, bless my soul and with which you cleanse me of my vileness. Grant me the light from You

1
secrets, next to You everything has a measure , oh Living, oh Subsistent, oh Lord of Majesty and
Generosity ! May God bless and save our lord Muammad, his family and companions."

Other virtue of the noble ayah of Throne that who theme the impact of some affair, and b
wants to know them and know how to avoid them, so wash and wear clean clothes. He will also clean the room
in which he retires, and when he has prayed the evening prayer ( al-'išā' ), he will pray two rak'at before
of the witr prayer , reciting in each one the Fāti¬a once and the ayat of the Throne eleven times. And after
pronouncing the taslīma he will recite the verse of the Throne twenty-one times, the surah of the Decree 2
once, the surah of Worship 3 three times and the two protective surahs 4 once. Then he will say: “My God,
I see a good omen in Your eternal word, make me see what is hidden. My God, make me see tonight what
I ask of you and what I have not asked of you, clarify for me the way out of this matter that I fear and of
which I distrust. God
my dear, if there is good for me in it, make me see white and green, and if there is evil in it for me, make me see
c
black and red. Send me one of the servant spirits of this ayah, the ayah of the Throne, to make known to me in
my dreams what remains hidden from me. My God, You are the Truth, clarify the truth for me, oh Truth of
Truth! Truly You can do everything”. And you will name what you want and what you request.

Then you will pray witr , lie on your right side and pray for our lord Muammad,
God bless you and save you!, everything that is possible, and you will sleep with your mind set on your
problem, because really God, blessed and exalted be!, will send you one of the servant spirits of this ayah
who will inform you of everything whatever you want, ask, and it will clarify your problem, what is good
for you and what is bad. And if you didn't see that night what you want and ask for, then repeat the work a
second night and a third, because you will really see what you request. Try to keep your intention pure,
because the intention precedes the act, and God guides whom he wants along a straight path, so recognize
the power of what is given to you, because it will really allow you to do without much knowledge.

Another virtue of the noble verse of the Throne is that when someone is harmed by passion, the honey d
and the love he feels for a person, and he fears that people or his family will find out, he will write the ayat
of the Throne five times in a glass container with sukk of musk, saffron and rose water. Then you will put
it on the air under the stars after having written the name of the person whose love you want to forget. And
when it has dawned, the writing will be dissolved in rose water and the filter will be drunk on an empty
stomach, doing that [...] times for three days, because really God will make him forget that person and will
tear the love from his heart. The intention precedes the act, and whoever has a pure intention, obtains what
is desired.

Y you should to know, God I help a obey him Y a understand Their mysteries! that the ayah of the
e
Throne has many peculiar virtues and sublime blessings that are of benefit to the fearful

when he finds himself trembling and shaken, because really that passes by God's order,
exalted be he!

It will also be written for pain in the heart, palpitations, pain in the liver and pain in the stomach.
You shall write [the ayah of the Throne] as we mentioned before on a clean container three times, and
whoever suffers from evil will drink from it, saying to the drink: "I seek the cure of such a disease", and
the disease will say, for indeed God, exalted be He, by the blessing of the noble ayah will cure and heal
him, p. 353

God willing, for God is the Healer and the Healer.

And it is also helpful in making the pain of the spleen disappear. For this, the noble verse will be
written and hung over the spleen, for God will cure and heal it with the blessing of the noble Names.
a
Another peculiar virtue of the verse of the Throne is for headache and migraine. The verse of the
Throne will be written on a gazelle-skin parchment if possible, or on clean paper, and next to it His saying:
﴾ Yes we would have done descend East Koran a a mountain, the you would have viewed humiliated Y
departure in two, by fear of God. These are the examples with the that we call the attention of the mens

who recites these Names. By the truth of these Names: Allāh is the Healer, Allāh is the Healer. Allāh is
enough for you against them, He is the Hearing, the All-Knowing 3 . There is no power or strength except
in God, the Most High, the Sublime”. This virtue is one of those that have been purchased and is true.
b
And you must know, brother, may God help me to obey Him and discover the secrets of His
Names! That this noble ayah - the ayah of the Throne - has innumerable virtues, because it is the most
sublime ayah in the Book of God, and a One of the most magnificent is the one that I will mention below:

I was sitting in front of my teacher Abū 'Abd Allāh al-Andalusī 4 , and we were discussing some
knowledge when a man came before us trembling like a leaf in the wind. Then he saluted and fell to the
ground kissing the shaykh 's hand and weeping. Then the šayj said to him : “What is the matter with you,
what makes you cry?” And the man said: “My lord, I am afraid of a certain enemy who is trying to do me
harm, and I cannot prevent him. So I have come before you, my lord, thinking that you could ease my
restlessness and make my anguish go away. When the shaykh heard the words of that man, he told him:
"Rejoice, because God willing, after today you will not be afraid of anyone." Then he went for a piece of
paper and wrote in the:

Cor . ii:136.

Unidentified.

456
 “He took refuge in God from the stoned Devil. In the Name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. c

God bless and save our lord Muammad, his family and his companions with a great blessing." Later he
wrote the Fāti¬a of the Book, the verse of the Throne, the sura of the Worship and the two protective suras
1
. After wrote: ﴾ Nope topics, your are of the that is it so a except ﴿ 2 . ﴾ Nope have fear of that they reach
you and do not be afraid ﴿ 3 . ﴾ Do not fear, I will be with you listening and seeing ﴿ 4 . ﴾ Do not fear,
you are safe from unfair people ﴿ 5 . ﴾ Two men who feared God and whom He had favored they said:
appear in view of they by the gate, Y when you have entered by she, you will be winners. And abandon
yourselves in God, if you are believers ﴿ 6 . ﴾ Do not be afraid, you are the highest ﴿ 7 . My God, guard
me with Your gaze that does not sleep, surround me with Your immovable protection and cover me with
Your power over me, so that I do not perish, for You are my hope. Lord, how many blessings have you
favored me with, my gratitude to You being insufficient and you have continued without denying me Your
favors. Oh Who observes my faults without making me ashamed, oh Lord of kindness that never ceases,
d
oh Who gives favors that are never counted. I ask you, my God, to bless our lord Muammad and the family
of our lord Muammad, and to preserve me and protect me from my enemies. Y
whoever wants to cause me harm or harm: return his harm against him, put his goodness in front of my
eyes and his wickedness under my feet, and so whoever wishes me harm, betray me or intrigue against me,
then make that become against him affecting him. ﴾ God has returned to those who refuse to believe their
own hatred; they have achieved no good. God is enough for believers in combat. God is Strong,
Irresistible ﴿ 8 . ¼M BKM 'MY , ﴾ they won't be ableto see 9 , ﴾ they won't be ableto talk 10 , they will not
speak, ﴾ the day in that No they will talk neither I know them will allow apologize ﴿ 11 , ﴾ ¼ad ﴿ , ﴾ Qaf ﴿ , ﴾
nun ﴿ . ﴾ God tea Enough against them, He is the Hearing, the All-Knowing ﴿ 12 . There is no power or
strength except in God, the Most High, the Sublime”.
Then the shaykh folded the sheet, handed it to the man and said: “Put it on your turban, then you
will be safe from all misfortune”, and the man was not seen again with any ill.

p. 354
And you should know, brother, that God saves everyone who carries these Names of sublime
power from everything they fear. If you are going to see an unjust judge with them, you are safe from his
wickedness, he defeats everyone who disputes with him and dominates him with his blessing and his
virtues, well known by the wise and by those who are aware of His power, because God grants His Help to
whom He wants and God is the Lord of Favor immense.

 BLESSING TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ENEMIES AND FOR THE FEAR OF ASSAULTS OF ROADS and to
OTHER PEOPLE :

Said a certain virtuous man, God have mercy on him!: “On a certain trip we stopped by a river.
Then some people came and told us that everyone who stands here is looted, so my companions moved out
of fear, while I stayed because of a tradition I heard from [ Abd Allāh ] Ibn 'Umar, God be satisfied with
him!, according to which the Prophet said, God bless him and save!: “ A who recites thirty Y three verses of
Book of God, No you hurts this night none beast savage nor no thief pertinacious, Y is it so a except the, its
family Y their estate until the dawn ” 1 . When I know it was late, even No slept when saw a cluster of
people brandishing their swords Y Approaching, but No
they came before me. When I woke up I started walking, and then an old man on horseback overtook me
and said: "are you a genius or a man?" I told him: "I am a man of the sons of Adam." Then he said to me:
"how is it that tonight we have come for you more than seventy times, and we always found an iron wall
between us and you blocking our way?" I said to him: "Ibn 'Umar related to me that the Messenger of God
said: ' Whoever recites thirty-three verses from the Book of God, he is not harmed that night by any
wild beast, nor by any obstinate thief, and he is under the protection of of God until dawn ”. When the
old man heard that, he got off the horse, kissed my head and made a promise to God never to do that again.
And these are the verses that you will say:

Four verses since the beginning of the sura of the Cow until where He says ﴾ the that they will
have b
success ﴿ 2 . The noble verse of the Throne. Two verses after it, as far as it says ﴾ immortals ﴿ 3 . And three
verses from the end of the Surah of the Cow from where it says ﴾ to God belongs all that is in heaven and
in the Earth; so much Yes you manifest it that there are in you themselves What Yes it you hide... ﴿ , until
the final of surah 4 . Three verses of the sura of the Wall, since ﴾ Really your Mister it is God, Who I think

A certain virtuous man is reported to have said: “I needed God and I spent thirty years begging a b
God by she. I weighed a it, never I quit a she, Y certain night I lay down in me litter ( maÅja' ) and I fell
asleep, when suddenly someone said: “Take these spells that are under your head and pray with them for
your need, because it will really be solved for you”. Then I woke up and found these spells written on a p. 356
sheet with the letters separated: I put them together, and here is what you will see. Everyone who prays
with them for a need is solved thanks to God, exalted! be!
And they are these verses:

For the submission of hearts to prostrate

themselves before You without
denying, oh my Lord!
For You, Allah, oh Dear!, for nothing
equals you in the solemnity of promises.
By Your Footstool crowned by light
next to Your sublime and glorious Throne.
As there is under Your existing Throne
before the creation of the sky and the sound of thunder.
So because you never stop being
a God known for Oneness.
a
And after concluding these verses you will say: "I ask you, my God, to bless and save our lord
Mu-ammad and the family of our lord Mu-ammad, and to solve my problem, such and such a thing",
because really God will solve it, if He wishes, exalted be He!

461
 Y follow a it this blessed invocation with the ayah of Throne in the that you will say: "Oh Living, oh b
Subsisting, You are Allah, who has no god but You, and I have been one of the unjust 1 . I ask you for Your
eternal subsistence to sustain me in You and together with You. I ask for Your life, life for my heart and
peace in it in this world, in the Other and in what is in between. Keep all that in me, oh Who does not tire
of keeping anything, oh Most High, oh Sublime!, until I find You and You are satisfied with me, finding
myself in the best of situations and in the sweetest calm, without affliction or punishment in reward, neither
in this world nor in the Hereafter. By Your Mercy, oh the most Merciful of the merciful!

And you should know, brother, may God guide me to His obedience and enlighten our hearts! with the c
light of knowledge!, that I myself often undertook the continuous recitation of the ayat of the Throne and
the last ayats of the sura of the Cow, from where it says ﴾ The messenger believes ﴿ 2 to the end of the surah.
Then the first verses of the surah of the family of 'Imrān as far as it says ﴾ the Wise, the Mighty ﴿ 3 , plus
the two verses from ﴾ Say: My God, King of Sovereignty ﴿ as far as it says ﴾ without limitation ﴿ 4 .

Then you will say: "God, I ask you for health against fear, the domain of wishes, the d
reception of Science and the continuity of reflection ( al-fikr ). I ask you, my God, the secret of secrets that
protects of the ills, of way that No be constant our sin Y our flaw.
Give us life and guide our actions with these words that You expounded before us in the language of Your
Messenger, and with which You tested Ibrāhīm, Your friend, which he fulfilled, and said: ﴾ I'm going to
do you a leader Y a example for the mens". Said: "Y it you will do also with my decendents?", and said: "Me
covenant No achieves a the unfair ﴿ 5 . So that put us Come in the fair of their decendents Y of the
descendants of Adam and Noah, and guide us in the paths of those who lead the God-fearing. My God, I

My God, bless me with Your sublime Name, He with Whose Name nothing can harm on earth or in heaven,
He the Hearing, the All-Knowing. Grant me a secret from You with which sins do not cause any harm, and
put in it for me a direction by which the needs of the heart, mind, spirit, longing, soul and body are resolved.
Inscribe our names under Your names, our attributes under Your attributes, and our actions under Yours on
the path of peace, of the fall of repentance, of the descent of grace, and of the manifestation of leadership.

way that you give life through me whomever you want from Your servants. Make me the treasure of forty
[days] and one of the most precious fearful, and forgive me, for that is not achieved by the unjust. ﴾ Æā sin
mīm ﴿ . ﴾ ©ā' mīm 'ayn sīn qāf ﴿ . ﴾ He has let the two seas meet freely. Between them there is a space
that they do not cross ﴿ 1 .

Then [you will recite] the Fāti¬a to the end and the surah of Worship three times. Whoever recites
these verses and spells and asks for any need they have in this world or in the Other. We have only opened
the door for whoever wants to enter the treasury of longing sighs, and God grants His favor to whoever
wants.

a
And after that you will say: “O Allah , oh Truth, oh Light, oh Manifest, open my heart with Your
light, instruct me in Your science, protect me with Your custody, make me hear, make me understand,
make me perceive You and create by Your grace a means with which you can solve my poverty, with
which you strengthen me for above vileness, with which you make me prosper in this world and in the
Other, and with which you make me reach the contemplation of Your noble face in the Garden of delight.
Truly You are Capable of everything, there is no power or strength except in God, the Most High, the
Sublime”. And whoever recites these verses and incantations, as we just said, you get what you ask for
from God, praised be He, by His grace and generosity.
b
And another of the virtues of invoking with the noble verse of the Throne according to some
virtuous ones, God be satisfied with them!, is that whoever invokes with it for all their problems and worries
is attended, and it is this blessed prayer in which you will say: “Praise be to God, Who appoints in the
worlds the chief sages of the sciences, and makes bearers of the Qur'an to His most intimate and companions
among the common people. Relieve the spirits of the poor from fatigue, efforts and hardships. It makes the
world like a dark blue robe, and the devotees are its embroidery. Whoever obeys him is praised and whoever
disobeys him is execrated. Whither will the wicked flee when the oppressed invokes against him, and
accuses him before a Sovereign of enormous dignity, before whom kings rise? For by His wrath the water
and the air, the night and the day, the sun, the moon and the stars, the heat and the cold, the clouds, the
trees, the rainy clouds and the mists are filled with anger, and they find death and life standing at His door,
as the servant stands before the master. ﴾ Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Subsisting ﴿ . He c

 CHAPTER NINETEENTH p. 358

ON THE PECULIAR VIRTUES OF SOME PROVEN MAGIC SQUARES AND TALISMANS .

You must know, God help us to obey Him and understand the secrets of His Names!, that each
verse of God's book has letters and numerical values, and each number corresponds to a magic square. And
whoever harmonizes in a square the letters and numerical values of each ayah, obtains the revelation of the
Mystery [of that ayah].

And you should know that each verse has a figure for the masters of secrets, and a harmonic square
for those endowed with mystical illuminations. Whoever knows which spiritual being corresponds to that a

figure is cared for, and whoever knows the secret of harmonic fit ( al-tadājul ) gains influence over things.
Don't you see how those who know the secrets, when they understand what concerns the harmonic fit,
harmonize the verses and other expressions, thus curing chronic diseases? and it is why _ the it 's almost _
_ knowledge _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ d e he does c u a l ity is _ _ n a t u ra l es ( a l - Ð a b ā ' i ' ) Y d the secret
_ _ _ d the in cashier _ harmonic reason why those who walk the Path ( al -sālikūna ) fail in their journey,
because they have the bases on the water and they do not hold up, they put the heavy on the light and find
no stability, since it is essential that what sustains is stronger than what supported.

And you must know that these letters have extraordinary virtues and marvelous properties, which
b
no one gets to know except the most outstanding Gnostic sages and the few rooted in Science ( al-rāsijūna
), and with which one manages to dispose of the power of the attraction of hearts and spirits and the affinity
of souls and forms. The letters are divided into igneous, terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic, according to the
masters of natural qualities; and in igneous, aerial, terrestrial and aquatic following the doctrine of the wise
_ _ _ _ _ do t a do s d e he does confidentiality _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ divine _ _ _ _ _ ( a ½ ¬ ā b al - n awāmīs )
. _ _ _ _ _ We _ _ _ _ _ _ _ so still s o l o I do n't know p r o n e m o s Give a classification of the letters that
will serve as a basis for this chapter. And in this way you will know the letters of the water, of the earth,
[of the air and of the fire]:
- Alif , ba' , ta' , £ā' , jim , ¬ā' Y ha' are of fire.
- Dāl , _ _ ²āl , _ _ rā ' , _ zāy , _ _ Ð ā ' , Þ ā ' Y k ā f yes or no d the to go _ _ _
- L ā m , mīn , _ _ n ū n , ½ād , _ _ Å ā d , ' a and n Y g a and n yes or no d the water _ _ _
- fa' , qāf , without , šin , hā' , wāw Y Already' are of the Earth.

And in the classification of letters according to

those who know the secrets, the letters of fire precede
those of earth, attributing them to water, because air
cannot be covered 1 . We have already explained
everything fig. 221
this, so do not give up, search, strive and be as the šayj
said in these verses:

 Seek and do not be frustrated in the search,
for the seeker's plague is frustration.
Nope you see What the string with its
insistence has left fingerprint in
the deaf stone?

Whoever works hard gets, and whoever doesn't work hard doesn't get.
And it is related to Imām 'Alī, God rest his soul!, that a Jew asked him for a number in which ten
exact fractions from half to one-tenth were gathered, and Imām 'Alī told him: “ If I teach you that, will you
submit to Islam?" and the Jew said yes. Then Imām 'Alī told him, God rest his soul: "Multiply the number p. 359

of days of the week that have elapsed by the number of days of the month that have elapsed, and this by the
number of months of the year that have elapsed, obtaining the answer to what you ask”. and got a total of
2520.
/10 /9 /8 /7 /6 /5 /4 /3 /two
252 280 315 360 420 504 630 840 1260
And this belongs to the Divine Science that proceeds from the Favor of God, and God grants His a
favor to whomever He desires, He the Lord of immense Favor.
As for the dark letters ( al-Þulmāniyya ), they are fourteen [...], and they come together in your
saying: G¾ ŠŶ B¢ J® WZD TFÝ . And in turn they are divided into minors ( danī ) and inferiors ( adnà
). The minor ones are seven grouped in your saying: ®W T¾D GB . And the inferior ones are also seven
gathered in your saying: JŠFŶ
¢ÝZ .

To each luminous letter there corresponds one of the dark letters, and the luminous letters come
together in your words “ ÆRQ SM'K ALN¼Y©H ” 1 , and also in this way: “ MN QÆ'K ¼LH S©YRA
” 2.

Y you should to know, oh seeker, that when shots the letters BÆ of the letters dark Y the b
mixes with the letters of the name of the person in a piece of unfired pottery, being the waning moon, and then
you bury it in an abandoned grave, because really the sorrows and sadness will instigate the heart of this person
without reason some, Yes God wants, exalted be!
And a certain virtuous said: when you want to solve a need that you have for any of the creatures,
then write the total numerical value of your name, the name of the mother and the name of what is desired,
and when you obtain a number with the sum of all of them, then write it in an hour of good omen, take it
with you and use it to ask for your need, because it will really be solved for you, God willing, exalted be
He!

Y you should to know, oh seeker, that when you want look a a person, well write the letters c
his name, his mother's name and the letters of his zodiacal ascendant. Then combine the letters of the
ascendant with those of the two names, make them reach his food or his drink and pronounce the word over
it, which is BÆ . In this way you will constrain that predominant natural quality in him and you will be
able to influence him in the way you wish. This is one of God's enigmatic secrets, exalted be He!

 And said the šayj , the imām, the scholar, the excellent, the perfect, the realized, the exact, the Pole d

of divine Help, the detached, the absolute, symbol of his era and incomparable in his time, the Imām Ŷa'far
al-¼ādiq, may God be pleased with him!: “When you want to do a job, then take the name of the person
who requests it, the name of the person who is the object of the ritual, and add to both the numbers of RK
RFD 1 , which are the numbers of the predominant, and it is a cubic name -and the method of acting in the
rest of the works-. Then count the name of the one who requests with the al-Jummal al-kabīr method , the
name of the one who is requested, and observe the number that results from it. For example: the applicant's
name is A¬mad and the applicant's name is Mu¬ammad. You will count in this way: A¬mad 53 and
p. 360
Mu¬ammad 92. Add the numbers of RK RFD , and the name of the applicant turns out to be 273, and the
name of the requested 376 2 . You add both results and you get 649. Then you subtract 30 from it and there
are 619 left. You divide it into four parts and there is 154 in each one plus three remainders. And what
results from the sum arrange it in the square in this way, thus obtaining your purpose, God willing, praised

member of it [the cow]. This is how God makes the dead live and shows His signs so that you can
understand ﴿ 4 . This ayah makes the sleeper speak, letting you know what he hides in his intimate consciousness.
And this is the way it has to be arranged, as you can see. Try to understand and you will prosper, Yes
God willing, exalted be!
And if you want that, write it on the palm of

what you want, because in truth he will make known to
you, God willing, everything you ask him. And it is

And whoever writes the ternary square on a lead sheet on the first hour of Saturday, then recites
this verse mentioned 45 times while staring at the square, and then curses some wicked person, he is
punished on the spot. And that is one of the wonderful provisions of divine sources ( awrād ). This is the

it on his right arm gains strength and respect before the people, and has victory over his enemies. Therefore
it is appropriate for the generals of armies and for those in command of troops, and God,
praised and exalted be he, he knows better. Whoever writes them on a banner and takes them into battle, God,
praised and exalted!, it provides you with strength and help for victory over your enemies. And whoever
writes them in a wooden cup, erases it with water and washes his face with it, is well reputed, honored,
loved, protected and guarded wherever he is, by God's order, exalted be he!, and God says the Truth and
He shows the way. This is how it will be arranged, as you can see:

[ SECTION ABOUT THE TALISMAN THAT WAS FOUND IN M ŪSÀ 'S CANE ]

You must know, brother, may God help us to understand the secrets of His Names and to obey b
Him! One day I was sitting in front of the Shayj 'Abd Allah al-Andalusī, may God be pleased with him!,
when suddenly a man he approached the shaykh and greeted him. The shaykh returned his greeting in the
best possible way, and then the man came up to him and spoke to him privately about some matter that
concerned them. The shaykh did not give him any answer, so the man insisted with his words, and when
he stopped insisting, the shaykh raised his face towards him and said: “If you want that, fast three weeks in
which you will not eat anything anywhere. moment, and then I will grant you what you ask for. The man
agreed and left. When the mentioned time had elapsed, he came before the shaykh and said: “My lord, I
did what you ordered me”. Then the shaykh said to him : "Go away, complete forty more days of fasting,
come before me and I will grant you what you ask for." The man left and completed the fasting period.
Then he came before the shaykh and said: "My lord, I have completed the forty days of fasting." Then the
šayj told him : “Now you are worthy of the distinction ( al-faÅīla )”. Then the shaykh withdrew alone, and
when he came out he had a patch ( ruq'a ) with him. He opened it, looked at it for a long time, kissed it,
shook his head in shock, and handed it over to that man. Then he gave him a series of orders that the man
complied with, kissed the shayj 's hand and left. marched

That man having moved away from us, I approached the shayj , kissed his hand and said: “My

lord, what was that paper that you gave to that man?” And he told me: "Amad, in him is the secret of God
that is not revealed to anyone except the few whom God wants to favor." I said: "My lord, will you let me
know?", and he did not answer anything. I put effort into it by asking the shaykh a second time. I persisted
in it for several days and asked him about it but he did not let me know, and I did not stop reminding him
of it for a year without giving me any answer. After a year had passed, the shayj told me without my having
asked him: “A¬mad, what do you want to ask me?” And he said to him: “My teacher, I want you to make
me know these blessed names and the way to operate with them. Then the shayj told me : “O A¬mad, if
you want that, fast for forty days in which you do not eat or drink anything. If you do that, I will inform
you as far as they are concerned.” I obeyed and began the fast. With the help of God, exalted be He, I
completed the forty days, and I went before the shaykh , kissed his hand, and told him so. Then he told me:
“Now you have the right to distinction ( al-faÅīla )”. Then he withdrew to himself and was absent for a
long time. Finally he came out carrying a patch ( ruq'a ) with him. He kissed it and said: "O A-mad, do you

And whoever writes them as we mentioned, wears them and goes to see a ruler, a minister or some
authority with them, and says inside himself at the moment of entering before him: "My God, I ask you for
the right to these names that tie the tongue of Fulano son of Fulano”. You will say "That the faces are

And they have many more virtues that we have summarized for fear of lengthening ourselves
excessively, and that they fall into the hands of those who are not worthy of them and do not know their
true value. These are the names:

Mr. Muammad, his family and colleagues.

A PART : When my teacher šayj Abū 'Abd Allāh al-Sabtī 3 passed away and was stripped of his clothes,
I found on his muraqqa'a 4 a folded patch ( ruq'a ). I took it and when the shaykh was buried I opened that
paper and found in it some sublime names that I myself had already asked the shaykh in life. He refused
and told me: "A¬mad, do not feel upset, for surely you will get to know them without any effort or fatigue."
When I looked at them at that time, I remembered the words of the Shaykh , prayed to God for his soul and
said to myself: These are the last breaths of sincere people who stand with God, may He be exalted! And
his words really said: "After my death you will get them without question or effort." Then I contemplated
them carefully, and behold, it said: "Let the person in whose hand these names be found know that he must
hide them from those who are not worthy of knowing them, because they descended with Adam, the peace

And he mentioned many other of his virtues that, if he revealed them to you, you could walk on
water without sinking your feet, and if you wanted to fly through the air from one place to another, you
would do so thanks to the blessing of these noble names. With them the Men of the Invisible ( rijāl al-gayb
) 5 hide from the eyes of creatures and fly; and if you recite them and say: "O servant spirits of these names,
take me to Mecca", then they will take you and bring you back in a single hour, so it is excellent for the trip
and the return. They have many other virtues, but if there was no fear of divulging the secret and they fell

 A SECTION IN WHICH I WILL MENTION A MAGNIFICENT BLESSING ( FĀ ' IDA ): to

Once I went into a mosque to pray, when I found one of my brothers with whom I had been
congregating with our teacher Abū 'Abd Allāh el šayj 'Abd al-©aqq al-Sabtī, and with whom I had studied
. When I saw him that day in the mosque and went to greet him, I found him facing the Qibla and looking
up at the sky and then at the palms of his hands repeatedly. Then I came closer and heard him say: “My
God, oh Who answers prayers, oh Who solves needs, oh Who eases worries above seven heavens. Oh Who
opens the treasures of generous gifts, oh Who solves the problems of those who pray and His ear hears the
voices. Oh Who forgets faults, oh Who forgives mistakes, oh Pious in reprimand. O Who brings down
blessings, O Who encompasses all with His knowledge. I ask you. My God, may you bless and save our
lord Muammad and his family, and may you solve my problem, which is such and such. By the right of
these names: Hā Hā, Hà Hà , Huwa Huwa , Yāh Yāh , Āh Āh . Glorious ( Sabbū¬ ), Most Pure ( Qaddūs
), Lord of the angels and the Spirit. I ask you, O Lord, by the names found on this patch ( ruq'a ) and the
blessings that reside in these invocations, to resolve my need".
And hardly had he finished his prayer when his problem was already solved. Then be b
He came back and saw me, came up to me and greeted me. Then he excused himself and said: "I was
praying to God to solve a problem for me, and my Lord listened to me and granted me His favor." I said to
him, “Brother, I have heard your prayer, but I also noticed that you were looking at that patch, what is on
it?” Then he told me: “I will tell you what is in it: I have been in the service of our teacher, with whom you
and I have been studying, for a long time. Once he told me: do you need something? I told him yes and he
asked me what it was. I said: "I want you to teach me a prayer with which I can ask God for my most
important matters and he will take care of me." And he replied: “Okay. You are already deserving of it for
the service you have provided us for so long.” Then he gave me this prayer and these names, and whenever
I pray to God with them he attends to me. immediately".
Then he gave me that patch, and on it were these noble names, which are as you can see. Try to
understand and you will prosper:

 TWENTIETH CHAPTER p. 382

ABOUT THE SURA Y Ā '-S ĪN AND THE PRAYERS SERVED WITH IT .

You must know, God help us to obey Him and understand the secrets of His Names!, that among
the peculiar virtues of the sura Yā'-Sīn, according to Anas b. Mālik, said the Messenger of God, may God
bless him and save!: “Everything has a heart ( qalb ), and the heart of the Qur'an is surah Yā'-Sīn” 1 . And
he said: "The sura Yā'-Sīn it is call "the of turban" ( al-mu'ammama ) 2 . You they said: oh Delivery courier
of God, what is al-mu'ammama ?. And he said: “Extend ( 'amma ) good in this life and in the Hereafter to
the one who recites it. And she is called "the defender" ( al-dāfi'a ) and "the solicitor" ( al-qāÅiya ), because
she defends the one who recites it from all evil, solves all their needs, makes all hardships in this life
bearable, and avoid the torments of Other" 3 .
And with a correct chain of transmission, it is narrated according to Abū Bakr and Ibn 'Abbās that a
[the Prophet] said: “ who recites the sura Yā'-Sīn until where He says ﴾ call them the attention with the
example of the habitants of the city ﴿ 4 , Y after beg a God by something, it is attended safe ” 5 . This checked
Y has proven true in many occasions.

Whoever writes the sura Yā'-Sīn and drinks it, a thousand medicines, a thousand lights, a thousand b
blessings, a thousand wisdoms and a thousand clemencies enter his interior, and all illness and disease
disappear from him. And [for the disease of the spleen] it will be written on a gazelle scroll, on Thursday
in the hour of Jupiter and with the waxing moon, and it will be hung over the left arm, thus being safe from
the disease of the spleen.
c

And it is said that when someone recites the sura Yā'-Sīn in the cemeteries, God alleviates the
suffering of those who died that day, and as many good deeds ( ¬asanāt ) are told to him as people are
buried in them. And that whoever recites it in the afternoon does not stop being happy until dawn, and vice
versa.
Whoever recites it together with a Muslim over whom death hovers, God causes as many angels
to descend as the numerical value of each letter of it, appearing in rows in front of him, arriving before him,
asking for his forgiveness, celebrating his funeral and witnessing his funeral.
Any Muslim who recites it in front of what he needs is granted. And if he recites it when he is
scared, he is safe; if he is hungry, he is satisfied; and if he is thirsty, he quenches his thirst.
Any Muslim who recites the sura Yā'-Sīn finding himself dying, because the angel of death does
not seize his spirit until he sees the guardian angel of Paradise and incites him to love him.
d

Y said the Prophet, the peace Y the blessing be with the!: “ in the Koran there are a sura that it
is called “the precious (al-'azīza) together a God", Y its follower (½ā¬ib) it is called "the distinguished (al-
sharif ) together a

Rabī'ay MuÅar 1 . Y it is the sura Yā'-Sīn, the part final of the sura of the Meeting two of Y the two suras
protective 3 ”.
Y said, the peace Y the blessing be with the!: “ in the Koran there are a sura that intercede by
who He recites it and forgives those who listen to it. It is Surah Yā'-Sīn, and whoever recites it on
Friday wakes up forgiven ” 4 .
And according to al-©asan [al-Ba½rī] the Messenger of God said, God bless him and save!:
“Whoever recites Yā'-Sīn and the sura of Smoke 5 on Friday night with faith and seeking the reward of God
your sins are forgiven past” 6 .

For combat and other situations, the return formula ( al-istirjā' ) will be recited three times: “We and
belong to God and we return to Him”, and the surah Yā'-Sīn. And whoever finds himself a prisoner,
frightened, lost, absent from his place or in debt, let him recite Surah Yā'-Sīn three times, and he will be
released, safe, guided, returned to his place and his debt resolved.
In the same way for all important matters, for fear or misguidance, the Yā'-Sīn sura will be recited
seventy times and after each one of them you will recite this invocation seven times: “O servant and
obedient spirits to this blessed sura, by the right of the prophets of God and His saints, by the right of your
Creator: make my words influential, heard and accepted. Satisfy my main needs promptly, provide and help p. 383
me in all general and specific matters. By the right of ﴾ It is from Sulaymān, and it is In the Name of God,
the Gracious, the Merciful ﴿ 7 . Al-wa¬ā , al-'ajal , al-sa'a . Really The it is Capable of it that want Y it is

For the evil adversary: whoever has an enemy who has caused him some harm and wishes to
destroy him, take an adobe and place it in front of him on the edge of a stream or a pond. He will be oriented a

towards the qiblah, and will recite surah Yā'-Sīn forty-one times, each time drawing a line in the adobe.
When the recitation is over, he will recite the funeral oration on the adobe, he will mold it into the shape of
his enemy, and then he will throw it into the river or pond, since the person will really perish quickly. This
is a protection that should not be used except after taking heavy damage and great evil. Have respect to
God, praise and exalt him! Have mercy on His servant and be afraid that God may take revenge on you.

is in anguish, he will recite surah Yā'-Sīn, and when he finishes he will recite this blessed prayer: “[Praise

Another of the peculiar virtues of this noble sura, for protection ( al-¬ifÞ ) 2 , whoever writes sura c
Yā'-Sīn with rose water and saffron, writing it for seven consecutive days each day once, remembers
everything that He listens, overcomes those who dispute with him and magnifies himself in the eyes of the
people.
And another of its peculiar virtues is that it will be drunk for diuresis. And whoever gives it to a
woman who is breastfeeding a baby to drink, well, there will be a healthy diet for the baby and full health,
God willing, praised and exalted! be!
And whoever writes it and hangs it around his neck is safe from evil beings, geniuses, reptiles and
pains.
d
Among the peculiar virtues of this noble surah to avoid the evil person, al-Kalbī mentioned that a
man had killed by mistake, and a relative of the deceased accused him of having killed him deliberately, so
he sought him out to kill him. Then a certain devotee told him, “If you really tell the truth, recite surah Yā'-
Sīn before you leave your house and go out to him, for by God he will not see you, since that person is
treating you unfairly.” And that man recited it before leaving his house without seeing who was looking for
him on his way.
And it is true that our lord the Messenger of God, may God bless him and save him, recited the
beginning of the sura as he went out to Quraysh, when they had planned to kill him, and he went out before
them without their seeing him and put earth in their eyes.
and
And a certain virtuous man said, God have mercy on him for his words!, “Among what
distinguishes it and accounts for its blessing, whoever is frightened by a despotic governor, or is claimed
without reason or [...] or his mount gets lost, let him recite sura Yā'-Sīn and then say: “In the Name of God,
the Merciful, the Merciful. In the Name of God, Who there is no god but He, the Living, the Subsisting. In
the Name of God, Who there is no god but He, Lord of Majesty and Generosity. In the Name of God, He
who by mentioning His Name can cause no harm on earth or in heaven, He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
My God, I seek refuge in You from the wickedness of So-and-so son of So-and-so”. And it will really
prevent it's.
And you should know that if the heavens covered the earth and the world went up in flames from
revolts ( al-fitan ), and then the servant turned inwardly obedient to His Lord and sincerely sought His
refuge, God would save him to the extent of his sincerity.

it twenty-eight times on epidemic days will be safe from the ravages of the epidemic.

“ Whoever recites the sura Yā'-Sīn solves his needs ”, is collected by al-Dārimī 2 as a mursal tradition 3 .
Y He said Prophet, God you bless and hail!: “ who recites Yā'-Sīn by the night either by the day,
will not be offended at that day ”.
Y said, God you bless Y Hail!: “ Praised be God, Who I honored Y honored a me community
with the sura Yā'-Sīn, with the ayah of Throne Y the sura of cult ” 4 .

Said Sahl b. 'Abd Allāh al-Tustarī: A man came before Ibrāhīm b. adham and him I ask: what b
you say about surah Yā'-Sīn? And he said to him: In Yā'-Sīn there is a name that whoever knows it and
prays to God with it, is attended, whether he is pious or impious, if he prays for what is proper to that name.
The man said to him: Do you think -God guide you!- that it could be worth me if I recite the entire
surah? And he replied: Not until you invoke God with that precise Name that is specific to what you are
praying for. If you went to the pharmacist's pharmacy with an illness, knowing that your medicine is there
but without knowing what it is specifically, and you took everything that is in the pharmacy and drank it,
do you think that would benefit you until you could know that specific medicine and use it in its proper
way? Just as God created the disease, he also created its own remedy; and in the same way for each of the
Names of God there is a specific matter for which to pray with him, and with which he is attended 5 .

Said the Send of God, God you bless Y Hail!: “ Every stuff have a heart Y the heart of the c
Qur'an is Yā'-Sīn ” 6 , This is enough for you to understand its excellence and the greatness of the Names
it contains, since God, exalted be He, made them the heart of the Qur'an, and the noblest of organs of the
body of the living being is the heart. And the virtue that is amalgamated in the heart is the noblest of virtues,
since it gives life to the body and generates vitality, spirit and natural heat. So the heart is to the body of
man as the sun is to the world, whose life is sustained in it, because when its light spreads [over the earth,
it gives life to everything in it and sets it in motion, but if its light moves away of her] 7 the horizon darkens
and all living things fall silent and sleep.
These two forces are similar to the two blows with which the angel Isrāfīl, peace be upon him, will
blow the horn 8 . And in the sun resides the life of everything that grows on earth and in the air, the light of
the moon and the splendor of the sky.

 Everyone who recites Surah Yā'-Sīn and prays to God with it, if he is worried God relieves his
anguish, if he is drowning God saves him from drowning, if he is a prisoner he is released, if he is hungry
he is satisfied, if he is thirsty quenches his thirst, if he is scared he finds safety, and if it is recited over a
dead man God lightens his storm. All this is due to the excellence of the Name found in she 1 .

It is said that in Yā'-Sīn there is one of the Names of God, praised and exalted be He! Whoever d

discovers it with the mystery of the letters, writes it down, erases it with clean water facing the Qibla, and
drinks it. the same number of days as the numerical value of the names, God grants him the power to speak
with Wisdom, and clearly reveals to him the mystery of the worlds. It is found towards the middle of the
sura and there are five words that gather sixteen letters, of which four have diacritical points, two have them
below and two above, and that is because of the secret of the natural world, that of the combination and that
of the quaternary 2 . In the same way, if you multiply four by itself, you get sixteen, which is the total result
of the names, that is, of the sum of their names. letters.

Through this secret, the Names in heaven, on earth, the Footstool and Paradise ( Firdaws ) are
made manifest, and through it it is possible to verify the soul in the world of the sensible. Through him the
mystery is propagated in the world of the higher angelic Kingdom. Through it the form is ennobled essential
that resides in the awareness. Y that secret No I know find in Æā'-Sīn, Already that the meaning of Æā'-Sīn
this bound to the of the lyrics without , it which No it is So in Yā'-Sīn, because the Already' I know find
Present in the sense hidden. Y this it is it that Can I resume of the doctrines of Gnostic 3 .

To thwart the plans of the enemy, His saying ﴾ We will really put rings on their necks -as far as p. 385
it says- they will not be able to see ﴿ . These verses serve to avoid the traps of the enemies, to return their
4

damage, destroy them, avert their faces, blind their eyes and sow discord among them. Whoever writes
them on a shield, or engraves them on a copper or gold sheet and sticks it into the hilt of the shield, and
meets with him the enemies and adversaries of religion, because really they will see their plans frustrated
and they will will turn against them trap.
Who recites them when getting into bed, is safe that night from thieves and corrupt. And whoever
recites them during the dispute of two people, dissuades the person of both who is unfair.

To be free from fear is His saying, exalted be He!, ﴾ Peace: Word of a Merciful Lord ﴿ 5 . Is it is a
a ayah of enormous can, well in she resides the Name Supreme of God. If it is arranged harmoniously in a
literal 4 x 4 square, then it gives protection to all who are in fear. This will be available way:

It refers to the quaternary associations of the four elements and the four natural qualities that are combined in
them, among others.

Y is noble ayah, that it is ﴾ Peace: Word of a Mister Merciful ﴿ , it is a glorious ayah in b

which resides the Supreme Name of God. Its numerical value is 820, and if it is arranged harmoniously in
a square, it gives confidence to everyone who is frightened. I myself have tried it on several occasions, and
I have not seen any work that is more prosperous than East.

It has also been said that a man came before Ibrāhīm b. Adham and asked him: What do you say
about surah Yā'-Sīn? And he said to him: In Yā'-Sīn there are some names that whoever knows them and
prays to God with them, does not ask God for anything that is not granted.

And this is the way the ayah will be arranged:

Y I know He says that are fourteen letters that who the has in a square sixfold Recorded in a c
seal of pure gold ( al-²ahab al-a¬mar ), at the moment of exaltation of the sun and with the crescent moon,
since its bearer you will see by effect of Don of God that that will increase its conviction religious Y will get all it
what to ask And if it is written with its eight accessory letters and is carried with it, God, exalted be He,
grants its bearer power, leadership, glory and enriches him during his poverty.

Its properties are numerous, and if someone who suffers from pain or has been stung by a
scorpion or bitten by a snake wears it engraved on a ring, it is restored immediately by order of God,
exalted be he! Its properties are valid for everything you ask for to alleviate a concern, seek sustenance,
acceptance, respect and everything you want, God willing, exalted be!
And this is how it will be arranged:

Said one of the masters of the spiritual disposition: Whoever writes this noble ayah sixty times in a
a glass container in the first hour of the first Monday of the month, erases it with rainwater and drinks it
with the object of whatever he wishes to erase from his mind, for God rips that thing out of his heart, makes
him forget it, dissuades him from thinking about it, opens his chest, grants him what he desires and makes
what he has invested his heart in come true. hope.

b
And you must know that this sublime Name and glorious secret has a square of magnificent essence
that must be composed by means of the secret of harmonic lace, when Venus is in her exaltation or in her
mansion, in the first or eighth hour of Friday. Its bearer will see by the work of God what cannot be
described, so be careful with it, because it is one of the hidden secrets. If you wish, you will write instead
of 136 His Name 'the Faithful' ( al-Mu'min ) 1 , since it is one of the most proper attributes of the Prophet
our lord Mu¬ammad, God bless him and save him! And if you want, write instead of 135 Your Name,
exalted be!, 'Who facilitates' ( Musahhil ) , _ _ in place of 129 Their Name, exalted be!, 'Subtle' ( L a Ð ī f ),
and instead of 130 His Name, exalted be He, 'Who seeks good' ( Munīl ), which is one of the most
characteristic attributes of Ibrāhīm, peace be upon him!
And this is how it will be arranged:

1
It refers to the place that the number 136 occupies in the previous square of this verse (fig. 267), and that can
be replaced by the name Mu'min as it is equivalent to that number.

You must know, brother, may God help us to obey Him and understand the secrets of His Names!, a

that the Yā'-Sīn sura is a sublime sura that has innumerable peculiar virtues, because it is the heart of sublime
Koran, Y the heart of is sura it is ﴾ Peace: Word of a Mister Merciful ﴿ . We have already mentioned some
of its virtues. Next I will mention some of its properties and some of the things that are related to it, may
God benefit us with it! it!

b
PART : to subdue hearts and unite those who hate each other, you will write it as I will explain to
you on a piece of paper with musk sukk , saffron and rose water. It must be written at an hour of good
omen, and whoever wants to take it with them, with the name of whoever they want and the name of their
mother. He will recite the noble sura seven times and say: "O servant spirits of this noble sura!" seven times,
and then he will say: "Take care, oh servant spirits of this noble sura!, to attract and bring the heart of So-
and-so son of So-and-so closer to the love of So-and-so, son of So-and-so." Then he will take the sheet with
him and see how amazing is the love and perpetual affection between the two people, God willing, exalted!
be!
c

In the same way, to free the prisoner, the noble sura and the Names of God are written,
exalted be He, who reside therein in a clean garment. It will have to be recited three times, and at the end
of the recitation he will say: "Take care, oh servant spirits of this noble sura!, to attract So-and-so son of
So-and-so, for the right that the noble sura exercises over you and for the obedience that it you must”.
Afterwards I know will cover _ _ _ with or without he to you are wrong some _ _ _ _ _ p re n a li mp i a how
_ _ u n cloth _ _ _ ( fū Ð a ) , I know e xt e n d e r he to ti e r ra Y will pray know about _ he to him _ prisoner
two rak'at , the first with the fatia a time Y the sura of Worship fourteen times. Y after to pronounce the
taslim will tell: "God Own, me tea I ask, oh Allah, oh High, oh Mister of seven Heavens". Y will tell:
"Praised be the One who relieves everyone who is grieved! Praise be to the One who comforts everyone
who is imprisoned! Praised be the Knower of all that is hidden! Praised be He Whose Decree lies between
the kāf and the nūn ! Praised be He who, when he desires something, it is enough for him to say "Be!", and
it is! Praised be He in Whose hand is the Dominion of all things and to Whom you shall return!” Afterwards,
that land will be hidden in a place where it cannot be stepped on, since the prisoner will really be released
quickly, God willing, exalted! be!
499
 Another of its virtues is to cure diseases and ailments: Write the noble sura and the names it p. 388

contains in a glass container with sukk of musk, saffron and rose water. It will be dissolved with rainwater
and the person suffering from the disease will drink it, saying while drinking: "I seek healing through the
sublime verses of God and His sacred Names", for truly God, exalted be He, will heal and restore you from
that disease and ailment, God willing, praise and exalt be! In the same way, it is beneficial for palpitations
of the heart and shock from a blow or grief, doing as we mentioned.

AWAY : one of its peculiar virtues is to prevent the effects of malefic magic ( si¬r ), harmful acts,
what is feared and what may result from that . When you want to be protected from that, you will write the a
noble sura and the Names it contains in a glass container with a myrtle pen, and the ink with a little rose
water, sweet pomegranate water, myrtle water, water of jasmine, vine water, and a little rainwater and carrot
leaf water, taking a small quantity of each. It will be written, the writing will be dissolved with rainwater
and whoever is under a spell will wash with it ( mas¬ūr ) either who theme be affected by the Magic
maleficent, together a a stream of Water either next to a ditch whose water runs in the direction of the qibla,
rubbing his entire body with it except the private parts and the behind, which he will never touch with his
hands. And he will recite while washing: ﴾ Said
Muse: It that have you brought it is Magic, Y God it will vanish. God No places right in the action of those
who corrupt ﴿ 1 . God Own, me tea I ask by the law of the noble sura Yā'-Sīn, that move away of my the
magic of sorcerers ( al-sa¬ara ) and the evil of schemers. For a thousand alif , there is no power or strength
except in God, the Most High, the Sublime." And really God will make away from him what he fears and
what he mistrusts, if He wants, exalted! be!

A PART : one of its virtues is to memorize the Koran and the rest of religious sciences, if you write
b
the noble sura and the Names that it includes in a glass container with musk sukk , saffron and rose water.
Then it will be exposed under the stars and it will be drunk on an empty stomach, doing that for seven
consecutive days in which acid or salty foods will be avoided. And after drinking it he will say: “My God,
I ask you, O Allah, for the blessing of this noble surah and these blessed and exalted Names, that you make
me memorize the Qur'an and the noble Science and everything that you taught your beloved ones. Put me
among them and teach me what you taught them, oh Allah, oh All-Knowing, oh Wise One”; for truly God
will teach you the Qur'an and whatever you want from the sciences, if He wants, exalted be He!

A PART : another of its virtues is that whoever wants to obtain the respect of kings, ministers and
rulers, write the noble sura and the Names it contains in a glass container with lily oil, jasmine oil, eglantine c
and balsam oil; and if there was no oil, then with his Water Y a little bit of oil of Palestine. Y what's more
of the sura I know will recite ﴾ When it they saw, I know they were amazed and cut their hands without
realizing it. They said: Good God! This is not a human otherwise a Angel noble ﴿ 2 ; Y Their saying ﴾
The I had in view of God a position of great esteem ﴿ 1 , the ayah

1
Cor . x:81.
2
Cor . xii:31.

500
of the Throne 2 , the sura of Help, the sura of Worship and the two protective suras 3 . Then put the writing
[after having dissolved it in water] in a jar ( qārūra ), and when you want to go before a king, a ruler or a
minister to ask for something, then smear your face with some of the oil that will be in the jar , recite the
sura Yā'-Sīn and the suras and ayahs that you wrote, and then go before the ruler you want, because you
will really obtain in his presence a great dignity, respect and solemnity, so that he will solve all your affairs
and everything that ask without any effort, God willing, exalted be!

SECTION : Another of the virtues of this noble ayah is that it will be recited out loud to increase d

supplies and goods. If someone thirsty recites it, it quenches his thirst; and if he is scared, he finds safety
and protection. Another of his virtues is that which was revealed by a certain virtuous person, who had
many sheep, and every night he drew a circle around the sheep and recited Surah Yā'-Sīn. Then the thieves
would come to steal some sheep but they found an iron wall around them, so they returned frustrated. In
this way, one night he recited the sura Yā'-Sīn but did not finish it, and when the thieves arrived they found
an open door in the wall, so they had the option of seizing the flock. The next morning the man looked at
the sheep and noticed that a few were missing, so he thought that he had fallen asleep without completing p. 389
the recitation of the noble surah. Since then the man persevered in his recitation and nothing bad ever
happened to him again.

Another of its peculiar virtues is that if a person is traveling and strays from the road fearing to a

lose himself in the desert, he will recite the noble sura Yā'-Sīn, and at the end of the recitation he will say:
"O servant spirits of this noble sura, guide me toward the road" and name the place you want to go, because
really God will send someone to show you the way to your destination.

And another of its virtues is that if you are afraid of some ruler or authority and you want to be b
safe from their wickedness, recite the noble sura and every time you get to where it says “Evident” ( Mubīn
) 4 , you will say: “My God, I ask you, O God of heaven and earth, God of Mūsà, 'Isà and Ibrāhīm al-Jalīl,
by the right of Allāh, the Glorious Lord, to appease the wrath of this king or ruler against me. By the right
of the blessed and noble sura Yā'-Sīn”. And you will say: "Take care, oh servant spirits of this surah, to
annul their tongue with respect to me." If you know his name and that of his mother, mention them,
otherwise you will say "this ruler", for really God through His favor and His generosity will calm his anger
and quench his ardor, so that he will not be able to procure anything but good for you, if God wants, praise
and exalt be!

The virtues of this surah are countless. I have been concise about them for fear of going too long.
Ponder what we have omitted considering what has already been mentioned, and you will be right, God
willing, exalted be He!

and all believers, those who are alive and those who are dead, truly You are Listener, Closer, Attentive to
prayers. By Your Mercy, oh the most Merciful of the merciful”.

Then he will be sure of the speed of God's response, exalted be he!, before you get up from the a
place where he was reciting. By God who has been tried by an innumerable multitude of people, and they
all said: We have prayed with the noble sura and the holy Name, -which is ﴾ Peace: Word of a
Compassionate Lord ﴿ 1 - reciting it for its full numerical value 818 times, and we had not gotten up from
the place when our needs had already been met. So I swear to God that it's been proven numerous times
that they didn't have any particularity, but it's all circumstances you want. Practice so that the Science of
Certainty is in you the Vision of Certainty 2 . And this is all that is important, along with sincere purpose
and purity in the worship of God, exalted and glorified be He, in performing the prayer. It is transmitted in
the noble ¬adī£ that God, exalted Y glorified be!, said: “ I am in the thought of Me servant when think In b
3
Myself. That think in my it that want ” .
And when God finishes solving his problem, he will recite all the praises to God that are found in
the sublime Qur'an 4 and give thanks to God, praise and exalt him!

And whoever wants to increase his livelihood, let him recite it seven times a day. If he perseveres
5
in it, God opens for him seventy doors of sustenance, and along with it he will recite the conquest sura
seven times, the Event sura 6 seven times, the sura ﴾ Have we not opened you? ﴿ 7 seven times and the sura
of Help seven times 8 , occurring that. God is the one who guides Right. p. 404

 [ ASCETIC EXERCISE OF ﴾ P ACE : WORD OF A C OMPASIVE LORD ﴿ ]
have you of to know, God us guide!, that in East point i will mention the exercise ascetic of ﴾
Peace: to
word of a Compassionate Lord ﴿ . You will begin with the help of God, praise and exalt be, a forty-day
1

fast beginning on a Sunday, when the first day of the month falls on a Sunday, reciting the Name 2 at the
end of each prayer four hundred and thirty-two times, and as you will only sleep a little at night. You will
find yourself in a proper spiritual retreat where you hear neither the barking of a dog nor the braying of a
donkey. Your food and drink will be based on sugar loaves ( qulūbat al-sukkar ) 3 and oil, and refrain from
taking anything that has the breath of life or comes from a living being. In the morning and in the afternoon
the incense will be [incense] such as aloe stick, nadd , civet and grains of benzoin incense. Your clothes
and your body will be clean, and every three days you will bathe 4 and perfume your clothes with a musky
perfume. And you will recite the incantation mentioned below after the dawn prayer once, after the morning
prayer once, and before sunset again. When twenty days have elapsed, one of the servant spirits will come
before you and say: “O son of Adam, stop reciting this Name and take as much money as is enough for
you”, trying to influence and dissuade you with words. Do not believe it Y
persevere in your recitation until completing the forty days, having very pleasant dreams every day. And
when the forty days are complete, a light will fill your room, and you will see writing on the walls of the
place and room in which you find yourself ﴾ Peace: word of a Compassionate Lord ﴿ . Then an angel
riding on an animal will enter and with him a large number of servants, and he will say to you: Peace be
with you. Stand up and wave back and say, “May God honor you, oh angel, as you honor me, and may God
love you as you love me right now. Oh angel, I want from you a sign by which I can make you appear ".
Then he will take the promise and impose the conditions that you do not lie or fall into sin. And when you
need something, you will get it even if it is in the extreme of Yemen, in the extreme of Iraq or in India;
either some money, being transported from one place to another faraway place, or whatever you need, will
be solved God willing,
exalted be he!

This sublime spell is the one that you will recite three times every day. You will say: [My God], there is
no in heaven b
rotations ( dawrāt ), nor oceans ( gamrāt ) on earth, nor populated mountains, nor drops in the seas, nor
movements in the clouds, nor glances in the eyes, nor thoughts in the souls that do not humble themselves
before You, that they are not witnesses of You, that they do not allude to You and that they are not subject
to Your Sovereignty. By Your submission of all things, make Your servants and Your angels available to
me, so that I can turn to them for whatever pleases You. You are the One Whom is called upon. There is
no power or strength except in God, the Most High, the Sublime. God bless and save our lord Muammad,
his family and companions!

Other of the virtues peculiar of the sura Yā'-Sīn it is that in she resides the Name Supreme of
c
God, with whom 'Isà, peace be upon him!, raised the dead thanks to God, exalted be he!, and the one who

1

That is, the verse.

And in the original it says al-qulūbāt wa-l-sukkar .

Or “you will do major ablutions”.
524
It is written in the heart of the sun. Whoever recites the noble sura, God raises him above what he wishes,
and if he conjured a dead man, he would rise alive by God's command, may he be exalted! and this is the
invocation:
“My God, I ask you, O Allah, for the truth of the surah ﴾ Yā'-Sīn, By the wise Qur'an! ”. O Who p. 405
sends the Messengers, O Who guides whomever He wants along a straight path, Destroyer of transgressors,
Exterminator of the wicked, for all will appear before Him. Who gives life to the dead and writes the works
they accomplished and the traces they left , and ﴾ we collect everything in a register Sure ﴿ 1 . oh Who
gives life a the Earth dead Y does that in she sprout seeds of the that you eat oh Who put in she ﴾ gardens of
palms Y vines , Y we have done that were born springs. For that they could to eat of their fruits Y of worked
of their hands. It is that No go a to thank? ﴿ 2

the sun, that runs towards a place of repose that have. That it is the decree of Powerful, the Wise ﴿ 4 . oh
Who permanent for the Moon nail mansions moles, ﴾ until that I know does as a branch of palm old woman.
Nope proceeds that the sun scope a the Moon, neither that the night I know ahead up to date. Each one
goes in an orbit ﴿ 5 . O Who embarked us in the swollen ship, ﴾ and we have created for them others
(ships) similar in the that embark. Y Yes we want can do that I know drown without that they have someone
to help them or be saved. Except for a mercy on Our part and to grant them a enjoyment by a weather
﴿ 6 . ﴾ Peace: word of a Mister Compassionate ﴿ . oh Who I think for us animals of livestock, ﴾ I know the
we have subordinate Y in they they ride Y of they eat ﴿ 7 , Y put in they for us ﴾ utilities Y beverage, No
will you thank? ﴿ 8 . oh Who I think to the men of a drop of sperm, and yet he is a pure argumentative ﴿ 9
. Oh Who gives life to the bones when they are already eaten away, oh Who ﴾ created for the first time,
who is the One Who knows each creature ﴿ 10
. O Who arranged for us ﴾ fire of the green wood of the
tree, causing you to kindle with it ﴿ 11
. oh who I think the Heavens Y the Earth, oh Creator, oh Wise, oh
That that ﴾ when wants something Their order No it is but tell him: HE, Y it is ﴿ 12 . oh purest, oh most
holy, oh ﴾ That in Whose hand this the domain of all things and to Whom shall you return ﴿ 13 . Forgive
me, take pity on me and do not punish me, oh most Merciful of merciful.

Whoever wants the blessing of this prayer will stand in front of the qibla at the beginning of the
new moon, then wash their clothes and body and perfume themselves if possible. After he fasts on Friday a
and Saturday, days in which he will not have obscene thoughts, he will not eat animal meat or anything

that comes from a living being, and will only sit in a state of ritual purity ( wuÅū' ). Then he will extend
his hands and invoke with it Sunday with the sunrise three times, and will make his request to God, who
will grant him, if He wants, exalted be he! And he will make the invocation again at sunset, because God
will really attend to him, if He wants, exalted be He!

Another prayer from sura Yā'-Sīn with which some virtuous people prayed for all their important b
affairs and were attended to on the spot is this: you will recite sura Yā'-Sīn as far as it says ﴾ and they will
not be able to move ” 1 . Then he will say: "My God, O He Whose light resides in His Mystery and His
Mystery resides in His Creation, hide me from the eyes of the beholders and the hearts of the envious."
Afterwards you will continue reciting the surah until where it says ﴾ among those He has honored ﴿ 2 .
Then you will say: "My God, honor me in Your complacency and solve my need" and you will name it.
Then you will continue to where it says
﴾ That is the Decree of the Mighty, the Wise ﴿ 3 . You will repeat the ayah fourteen times and you will say:
"My God, I ask you for Your wide and immense favor that which I can do without the rest of Your creatures"
fourteen times. After you will continue reciting until where He says ﴾ Peace: word of a Mister
Compassionate ﴿ 4 , you will repeat the ayah fourteen times and after that you will say: "My God, save me
from the discord of this world and its misfortunes” four times. After you will continue the recitation until
where He says ﴾ Perhaps Who I think the heavens and the earth would not be able to create something
like you? Hell yeah, He is the Creator, the Knower ﴿ 5 . Y you will say: "Oh Capable, make for my such
Y such stuff", it you will repeat four times Y a the fifth
you will recite to the end of surah.

You must know, God help us to obey Him and understand the secrets of His Names!, that I will
