7 COLOURS AS THE LANGUAGE OF THE EYES
7 LEVELS OF SOUL( NAFS) AS THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART

By Latif YILDIZ (KULIHVANI)

A lightless eye, a soundless ear and a senseless heart is like the dead..
Insan [1], who looks at the Uni-VeRSe by using his Aql(mind), will see the
colour of the System, will hear it’s Sound and sense it’s Cause and
Effect. Everything within the universe(Alam) exists within Adam as well.
Every knowledge, the finding and the formation wihtin the universe and applied
science exist in Muhammadian Tasawwuf [2] as well.

Normal human mind(Aql) will Cognize, Meet, Form with the
Transmission of Divine Knowledge(Ilahi Naql) and act it’s roles in the play of
servanthood(Abdiyyat)which is a test of opportunities, in order to
comprehend and live by it’s own destiny and capacity.

While Material,The Event and Time is coming and passing by as Sunnatullah[3], will see it’s appearance, attitude and manner in the source of Muradullah [4] and live in the light(Noor) of Amrullah [5]. It is really wonderful to read, understand and live the applied science in the divine knowledge and Muhammadi Manner of Mind(Aql) in order to experience the cycle of knowledge(ilm)-will power(irada)-comprehension(idraq)-participation(ishtiraq), which is a must in every situation.
How magnificient the unification of 7 colours in science and 7 level s of Soul(Nafs) in Tasawwuf.

Isac Newton had closed him self in to a dark room, from where the light
was coming in then he had put a triangular prism in front of that light
and had seen that the light was constituting 7 coloured rays. Before
Newton had discovered this in 17th century, al-Haytham had already
discovered what Newton found in 11th century [6]. However, many islamic
scientists are not known to west side of the world much. The ones who
search it well will see that Isac Newton had also published more articles
in Religion than in Applied Science and he was one of those scientists who
had confirmed the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad PBUH by writing a letter
to his German colleague. Somehow this is also not mentioned by media in
western world.


The colours that Newton had seen were Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue,
Darkblue and Violet!..
This was what a physical eye was seeing through the prism.

Eye of the spritual heart will also see in it’s own essence the colours of
enlightenment(Kamalat) of the Soul(Nafs)…

In ether-vacum, the electromagnetic energy in a certain wavelength (λ) has
a frequency(f) and the energy of proton(E), which are in direct proportion
with that wave length (λ).


That is why the electromagnetic spectrum can be described by using any of
those three scales(unit of measurement).

The light waves, which are outside the visible wave length bands of
between 400 and 700nm, can also be detected by using Spectroscopy.


A normal labaratory spectroscobe can detect the wave lengths between 2nm
and 2500nm easily.

A lot of data related to the physical features of objects, gasses, and
even stars and galaxies may be learned by analysing the electromagnetic
radiation by means of the spectroscobes. Electromagnetic radiation is
classified mainly under seven categories.
These are the radio waves from low to high frequency, microwave,
infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and Gama rays.






Colors are classified between themselves by well known names.
Red, Yellow, Orange are classified as Hot colours.


Green, Blue and Violet are also classified as Cold colours. It is possible
that they get these classifications through the natural presentations e.g
the Fire and Ice. Red and Blue colours are known as the sources of hot and
cold colours respectively.
They are also separated from each other as the contrast colours.
You can see this from the picture easily.
Colours facing each other are contrast colours e.g Green and Red, Yellow
and Violet.
When the colours are observed with black background they get hardnes, and
when they are observed with white back ground , they get softness.
However, the neutral(unbiased) colour,”Grey“, takes the contrast colour
whenever it is put beside any colour except its self..


Red-Blue-Violet-Green-Orange-Yellow.


This order is the order of the influence of the colours over mankind.




After the findings of Al-Haytham and Newton, German Optician Joseph Von
Fraunhofer discovered the dark absorbtion lines in rainbow spectrum(
approx.600 lines). This information about rainbow spectrum is still given
as foundation in the Painting Classes today.

In application of Science to Islamic Tasawwuf:

When looked at the colours as the phases (steps or levels) of Soul’s life
long enlightenment and maturation( Kamalat of Nafs) , a perfect match will
be seen.
What is within Âlam(World) is also within Âdam [7]..

This is explained more in our book of Tasawwuf in our main site in Turkish
(www.muhammedinur.com) and it will be translated to English and put in our
English site gradually in time. This document was put here for people who
has some knowledge about the levels of Nafs(Soul) so that he will be able
to see this information through the application of Science. Because
Zahir(Visible-Outer) and Batin ( invisible-Inner) are harmonius with
each other for the ones who can see. However, for people who don’t know the levels of nafs , we have quoted an article which is explaining the levels of Soul(Nafs)in our website on following link:

http://www.muhammedinur.com/En/islam/seven-levels-of-beingnafs.html

Lets represent the adaptation of colours between Matter and the levels of
Soul’s enlightenment:

The ones going in to Zat-i Nafs such as Ultraviolet lights do not interest
us that much.
However, I am giving the list of lower nafsanic levels, which are
animalistic level or even lower than that e.g. Infrared Lights, and I am
leaving you to think and ponder over them, my brothers and sisters who
have understanding:


+ Infinite Nafs-i Aqdas

…
+7 Nafs-i Safiyya
+6 Nafs-i Mardiyya
+5 Nafs-i Radiyya
+4 Nafs-i Mutmaiyna
+3 Nafs-i Mulhima
+2 Nafs-i Lawwama
+1 Nafs-i Ammara

N A F S

-1 Nafs-i Fasad
-2 Nafs-i Fasiq
-3 Nafs-i Fajir
-4 Nafs-i Mudzlim
-5 Nafs-i Munafiq
-6 Nafs-i Munkir
-7 Nafs-i Mushrik
….

- Infinite Nafs-i Adlal

It is clearly seen that

the plug of Nafs-i Aqdas, which is Rasulullah (SAW)’s Wahdat of ONEness , will lead to the Fellowship(party) of Allah(Hizbullah) [8], and

the plug of Nafs-i Adlal, which is the KASRAT of DUALity represented by Iblis, will lead to Fellowship(party) of Satan(Hizbushshaiytan).

With Muhammadi Muhabbat..

GLOSSARY

[1] Insan : (arabic word). Alive beings who, live as public around a cultural environment, have ability of thinking and speaking, comprehend the universe as total, can change it and shape it as a result of their findings.

As insan has mind(Aql), conscious and faith(iman), he/she is different from the other living beings and most mukarram creation of Janab-i Hakk. The name,”insan” was given to him as insan is forgetful of Rabbani ni’mats(Divine boon and benefections.* Insan is a living being who has a quality to obtain character and morals(ahlaq).

[2] Tasawwuf :

Tasawwuf, Tazkîyah al Nafs, Tasfîyyah al Qalb, Irfân, Sufism, Islâmic Mysticism, Esoteric or Inner Dimension of Islâm, Purification of the Heart/Self/Soul and more recently Islâmic or Sufic Psychology are used inter-changeably.

Tasawwuf is an acronym made up of the four consonant letters: t, s, w, and f.
t stands for tawbah, repentance
s stands for safa, purity, peace and joy
w stands for wilayah, the sanctity of the lovers and friends of Allah
f stands for fana, the annihilation of self into the nothingness.

from ‘The Secret of Secrets’ by Hadhrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (raa)
translated by Sheikh Tosun Bayrak al Jerrahi al Halveti.

[3] Sunnatullah: Sunnatullah is the law of Allah or course of Allah. Sunnatullah is not only a written Holy book listing the laws of Allah, but also an alive (HAYY) operating system. Written holy books which have come to the prophets along the ages explain how this system works to the people in their own periods so that people can know, find, become and live(Participate) this Sunnatullah and become a proper servant of ALLAH(Abdullah). Sunnatullah means the creation of MUradullah by the wish of Kaza-destiny(Qadar)-will power(Irada) ,

and the method of actioning, functioning and the operation of the Human Mind, which is in the scene of servanthood, in the direction of Amrullah.

[4] Muradullah : Will of Allah.

[5] Amrullah : Order of Allah.

[6] Al-Haytham: An Arab polymath lived in 11th century. Please see the
link for his life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_al-Haytham

[7]What is within Âlam(World) is also within Âdam: Sunnatullah applying to
the cell, also applies to the sphere as well. Sunnatullah is the law of
Allah or course of Allah. Law of Allah applying to the cell will also
apply to the whole as well. Particle resembles the whole. What applies to
micro will apply to makro as well.

[8] Qur’an [Al-Maidah 5/56]:

وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللّهِ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

Wa Man Yatawalla Allāha Wa Rasūlahu Wa Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Fa’inna Ĥizba Allāhi Humu Al-Ghālibūna : As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah, His Messenger, and the (Fellowship of) Believers- it is the Fellowship of Allah that must certainly triumph.

[9] Qur’an [Al-Fatir 35/6]:

إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُوا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ

‘Inna Ash-Shayţāna Lakum `Adūwun Fa Attakhidhūhu `Adūwāan ‘Innamā Yad`ū Ĥizbahu Liyakūnū Min ‘Aşĥābi As-Sa`īri : Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents, that they may become companions of the Blazing Fire.

Qur’an [Al-Mujadila 58/19]:

اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَنسَاهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ أُوْلَائِكَ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطَانِ أَلاَ إِنَّ حِزْبَ الشَّيْطَانِ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

Astaĥwadha `Alayhimu Ash-Shayţānu Fa’ansāhum Dhikra Allāhi ‘Ūlā‘ika Ĥizbu Ash-Shayţāni ‘Alā ‘Inna Ĥizba Ash-Shayţāni Humu Al-Khāsirūna : The Evil One has got the better of them: so he has made them lose the remembrance of Allah. They are the Party of the Evil One. Truly, it is the Party of the Evil One that will perish!
