derived many rulings, Allah Almighty said: كُنْتُ ‌كَنْزًا ‌مَخْفِیًّا “I was a hidden treasure, فَاَحْبَبْتُ اَنْ اُعْرَفَ فَخَلَقْتُ الْخَلْقَ لِاُعْرَفَ and I wished to be known, therefore I created the creation so that I may be known.”^{^[1]}

This makes it clear that the very purpose of our creation is to recognise Allah Almighty.

Mountains Will Leave Their Place because of Your Supplications

It is stated in a blessed Hadith that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, said:

If you recognise Allah Almighty as He deserves to be recognised, you will certainly walk upon the seas, and mountains will move from their place because of your supplications.^{^[2]}

اللہ اکبر! Such is the power of recognising Allah Almighty! When a person is blessed with it, he attains a very high rank, and his prayers have the effect of moving mountains from their place.

The Mountain Began to Grow

Sayyidunā Fuḍayl رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, once a notorious thief, later repented, performed many good deeds, and was blessed by Allah Almighty with a lofty rank. One day, while on a mountain in Mina, he said: “If a saint were to command this mountain, ‘O mountain! Rise high,’ it would immediately rise.” The moment he said this, the mountain began to ascend. Sayyidunā Fuḍayl رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said: “O mountain, stop! I did not command you.” Upon saying this, the mountain stopped.^{^[3]}

Whoever attains the recognition of Allah Almighty reaches a high rank like this.

How is Divine Recognition Attained?

Now, an important question arises: how is the recognition of Allah Almighty
