Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:
1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.
Part 1: Knowledge Section
Let us study about the concept of the Throne of God in the personal world of a mu'min by reflecting on the following:
Meaning of Arsh
"Arsh means an elevated place and in this sense, it is used for a throne, which implies the concept of a king and kingdom. Thus, in religious terms, arsh means the kingly throne of God, the Blessed, the Exalted. According to the teachings of the Qu'ran, arsh has prime importance not only externally, but it is also the greatest ta'wili secret. Therefore, it is necessary to explain some of its widsoms with the help and support of the true Imam, salawatu'llahi alayhi." [Source: Coolness of the Eye, pages 132]
Heart of the True Mu'min
"What is said in the noble hadith that the heart of a believing servant is the Throne of God, is also a concept of marifat which shines and abides only in the heart of a true mu'min as a result of faith and certitude." [Source: Coolness of the Eye, pages 134]
The Locus of Manifestation of the Divine Throne
"The Divine Throne is in the soul and not in the body, but as there is a link between the soul and the body, accordingly, there should be a place in the body, which may be called its example, counterpart or mazhar (locus of manifestation). And there is definitely such a place and that is the forehead." [Source: Coolness of the Eye, page 134]
The Inner Eye
"In the individual or personal spiritual world, the forehead is the place where for the people of the inner eye, all those events which are related to the Supreme Throne in the Qur'anic story, take place." [Source: Coolness of the Eye, page 134]
The Ascent (Miraj) of the Holy Prophet (s.a.s.)
"The ascent (miraj) of the Holy prophet had taken place in his blessed forehead, for, in the personal spirituality, the forehead is the mazhar of the Throne. The Holy Prophet had many ascents, but the one which happened for the first tme is mentioned prominently. Thus, it should be remembered that the spiritual wonders and marvels which take place in the forehead, contain the great secrets of the Divine Throne." [Source: Coolness of the Eye, page 139-140]

This may be a good time to review the 36 advices on awakening the inner eye and recognizing the self which were sent out as Post no. 07. Our faith is very clear about the path that we should take to see the throne of God in our personal worlds.
May NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam inspire us to follow the Right Path and be blessed with many Batini Noorani (spiritual and luminous) Didars in this life time. Ameen.
