He is the representative of Allah Almighty and from him the reality of Ism-e-Azam is achieved. (Tafseer Rooh-ul-Bayan) Hence, it is ascertained that Ism-e-Allah Zaat is the Ism-eAzam but it unfolds when the perfect spiritual guide gives its inward persuasion.
ISM-E-ALLAH ZAAT, THE SACRED COMPANIONS AND THE ACCOMPLISHED WALIS HAZRAT ALI RAZI ALLAH ANHU Hazrat Ali Razi Allah Anhu says:
Your pain is within you and you do not know that its remedy also lies inside yourself. You do not notice but imagine that you are merely a tiny body whereas a large world is abridged within you and you are that enlightened book whose letters reveal the hidden thing. (Mirat-ul-Arifeen) Hazrat Ali says about Allah Almighty in a tradition: “Hence, I saw my Lord in my heart with the eye of (true) faith.” It is the saying of Hazrat Ali razi Allah anhu, “I do not pray Allah Almighty unless I see Him”.
HAZRAT UMAR RAZI ALLAH ANHU I saw my Lord from His Noor (Ism-e-Allah Zaat). Asrar)
