This article is extracted from a lecture of Shk Yousri Gabr. It is not a word-to-word translation.

Overview: 

The source is a theological discourse, likely a sermon or lecture, by Dr. Yusri Gabr, focusing on the profound spiritual and cosmic reality of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It delves into his pre-existence, his role as the "First Creation" and "Mercy to the Worlds," the concept of "Unity of Existence" and "Unity of Witnesses," and the distinction between his spiritual reality and his human manifestation. 

I. The Prophet Muhammad's Pre-existence and Cosmic Significance

First Creation (الأول خلقًا): The central and most emphasized theme is that Prophet Muhammad was God's first creation.

"Creature is the first creature because God Almighty He made it the cause of the emergence of all worlds, so the cause is Prior to the cause..."

This pre-existence is spiritual, preceding all other creations, including heavens, earth, angels, and jinn.

"The Prophet is deeper than the son of Adam in terms of his strength. The origin of his spirituality, we must know that he died now and first Creation at all before there were heavens And the earth, and heaven, and fire, and angels, and jinn, and so on..."

His prophecy began with his creation, not at the age of forty when his human prophecy appeared. "I was a prophet and Adam and I found him in my clay before what Adam was created, be a prophet, you were a prophet..."

This "firstness" is not merely in rank but in chronological creation in the spiritual realm.

Mercy to the Worlds (رحمة للعالمين): His pre-existent spiritual reality is the very mercy through which God created all worlds.

"He created mercy. By which He created the worlds and thus the manifestation of all worlds..."

The verse "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds" (21:107) refers to his spiritual state prior to his human manifestation.

Adam of the Universes (آدم الأكوان): He is referred to as "Adam of the Universes" in terms of his spirituality, signifying his role as the beginning of all existence, just as Adam is the beginning of humanity.

"The Prophet, in terms of his spirituality, is the Adam of the universes, Adam A symbol of the beginning of humanity, so the word Adam became Adam. It means the beginning of everything..."

Opener and Sealer (فاتح وخاتم): He is the "opener" of everything and the "sealer" of every prophet and message, reflecting his comprehensive spiritual reality.

"Opener and sealer, I understand. Make me the opener of everything. And the seal of every prophet and every message."

Light of Existence and Prophecy (نور الوجود ونور النبوة): The Prophet's spiritual reality is depicted as a primordial light, an attribute of God, and the source from which all other manifestations emanate.

"God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. Any light of the heavens and the earth and light means appearance like His light, that is, the light by which he revealed what he wanted."

"The Prophet, the light Light represents the soul that God has revealed to him, so he became a prophet."

"Light on light God guides to His light whom He wills The existence and the light of prophecy, light on light, God guides To his light, that is, the light of prophecy, whatever he wants..."

II. Theological Concepts: Unity of Existence, Unity of Witnesses, and Manifestation

Unity of Existence (وحدة الوجود): This refers to the singularity of God as the source of all existence, the "First without beginning" (الأول بلا بداية).

"God was and nothing was with Him. God was By His Oneness, and Oneness is a force that does not accept appearance or the appearance of Other than that, I bear witness that there is no god but God..."

The speaker clarifies that this does not mean God is "present in" created beings (حلول), but that the source of all existence is one.

"Unity of Being They think that the ignorant unity of being God is present in it, God is not present in it If the solution is to move, the move will change, and God will not change."

Unity of Witnesses (وحدة الشواهد): This concept asserts that Prophet Muhammad is the primary manifestation of God's existence and attributes, a "mercy for the worlds" and "light of existence."

"Muhammad is the Messenger God is the manifestation of existence... it is mercy for the worlds and because it is the light of existence..."

Entering Islam by declaring the two testimonies ("There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God") acknowledges both the unity of existence and the unity of witnesses through the Prophet.

"The mere fact that Entering Islam with the two testimonies means that I acknowledge the unity of existence in There is no god but God and the oneness of witnesses in Muhammad The Messenger of God..."

Manifestation (تجلي) and Mirrors (مرايا): The universes and all creation are described as "manifestations" of God's attributes, akin to reflections in mirrors. God is not "in" them (حلول), but they reveal His traces.

"All that In the universes there are manifestations of the attributes of God without Him being present. The crossing is easy for us and it is close at the same time Far away as your image in the mirror..."

The Prophet Muhammad is the "perfect divine mirror" (المرآة المحمدية) that reflects God's attributes most perfectly.

"God Almighty is the manifested perfect God wanted to Creates a mirror creature that is complete, complete, and fully oriented. So clean that it is the magazine of the complete The greatest then the race of the lions each different mirror negotiates..."

To receive divine manifestations in one's heart, one must polish the heart to become like the Prophet's heart.

III. Prophet Muhammad's Humanity and Prophecy

Distinction between Spiritual Reality and Human Manifestation: The discourse repeatedly stresses the difference between the Prophet's primordial spiritual reality and his human appearance.

Verses where the Prophet states "I am one of the Muslims" (e.g., Surat An-Naml) refer to his human manifestation in Mecca, while verses affirming his "firstness" (e.g., Surat Al-An'am, Az-Zumar, Az-Zukhruf) refer to his spiritual priority.

"The Muhammadan priority is present in all of this in terms of its spirituality. 'No, because what is seen is a human in his human nature, and for that reason we say...' Oh, the first of God's creation who does not understand the meanings."

The Prophet as a Human who Forgets (إنسان ينسى): While infallible in his prophethood, his human nature meant he could forget.

The story of Gabriel's first revelation (اقرأ - "Read") is interpreted as an act to remind the Prophet, through spiritual embrace, of his pre-existent spiritual knowledge that his humanity had forgotten.

"Our master Muhammad has forgotten because he is a human being. A forgetful person said to him: I am not a reader. I didn't read before, so why did you include it?

He hugged him because our master Gabriel is a spirit, so if he hugged him What happens to a human being? His humanity and his humanity weaken, so he does not remain. Except spirituality arises on the day that remains righteous because he reads In this way..."

Prophethood and Birth:

His prophethood began with his spiritual creation before the creation of anything.

His humanity's prophecy appeared at the age of forty.

His birth (as a human) was on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal, 20 April 572 AD, 50 days after the incident of the Elephant.

V. Importance of Celebrating the Prophet and Following his Character

Correcting Beliefs through Celebrations: Gatherings and celebrations related to the Prophet, like his birthday, are crucial for correcting the corrupted beliefs.

"Such celebrations correct beliefs Muslims attend such celebrations to correct their beliefs. Pass it on to your children and save them from their ignorance of their prophet."

Developing Love and Attachment: Understanding the Prophet's true reality fosters intense love and attachment to him, which in turn leads to adopting his excellent character.

"You will learn facts about your Prophet that will increase your attachment to him and your attachment to him. It leads to intense love and intense love leads to Attachment to good manners and good manners puts you with the beautiful lover..."

"The closest of you to me On the Day of Resurrection, the best of you in character will be sitting."

VI. Other Notable Points

Jesus and Prophet Muhammad: Jesus is presented as a prophet who will descend at the end of time, rule by Muhammad's law, and will be buried next to the Prophet in his chamber, highlighting the close connection between them.

The arrangement of graves in the Prophet's chamber is described: Prophet Muhammad's head towards the Rawdah, feet towards Baqi'. Abu Bakr's head at the Prophet's waist, and Omar's head at Abu Bakr's feet. There is a vacant spot for Jesus.

The Names "Ahmad" and "Muhammad": The distinction between "Ahmad" (symbolizing spirituality and unified components) and "Muhammad" (symbolizing separation of universes into kingdoms and dominion, with letters denoting mercy and permanence) is discussed as a secret within his names.

"Ahmed says he is the first slave Ahmed is the slave Sunday, that's why you removed the 'mim' from Ahmed, don't let anyone The meem in Ahmed is the meem of the components... when he wanted to separate the universes into kingdoms and kingdoms So show the Muhammadanism, so the Mim of the King and the Mim of the Kingdom are in Muhammad The letter Ha’ of mercy and the letter Dal of permanence."

God's Knowledge, Will, and Power: The discourse touches upon God's attributes, explaining that His knowledge encompasses existent, non-existent, and known, while His will pertains only to possibilities, restricting His omnipotence according to ancient knowledge. The Prophet is seen as the first creation in this context, connected to God's knowledge.

"God's knowledge is related to the existent, the non-existent, and the known. But the will is only related to the possible, so it restricts the ability. And thank God, He is capable of everything He wills. According to ancient science, then the Prophet is the first Creation in terms of its spirituality from the point of view of the origin of Moranism."

Conclusion:

Dr. Yusri Gabr's discourse is a deep dive into the esoteric and spiritual understanding of Prophet Muhammad's reality, emphasizing his primordial pre-existence as God's first creation and the source of all existence. It presents a robust theological framework of manifestation and divine mirrors, positioning the Prophet as the ultimate reflection of divine attributes.
