Thus, since his encounter with the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings be upon him),
in Bussemghun, He constantly followed his teachings and education throughout the following years in all circumstances until the day that had been announced and predicted so often during the course of his life, when he was raised up to the supreme rank of the Qutbaniya el ‘Oudhma, in the month of Muharam in the year 1214 of the hegira.
Sidi Hajj ‘Ali Harazim (may ALLAH be pleased with him) who was present at his side for this prodigious event wrote a brief description. He said: “After the mention of the name of ALLAH and the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the praise, then, among the facts that I witnessed in the company of Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) on the night of Sunday the 12th Muharam in the year 1214 of the hegira, approximately one and a half hours into the second part of the night, occurred Seyyidina’s elevation to the station of Grand Caliph.
This happened on mount Arafat (near Makkah) shortly before dawn. Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) took my hand and we walked a few steps (prodigious steps) and we arrived at Mount Arafat. No one else was present with Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) except his Caliph (that is to say himself).
At this moment, a green light descended from the True like an enormous lamp until a sort of green "sheshia" (kind of hat) was posed upon his head. He has worn it ever since and this is the sign that he has been raised to his specific station.” Then, they left mount Arafat and returned in as short a time.
One of the characteristics of this station is the gift to the Pole of the Supreme Absolute Name of ALLAH, which is the particular name of the Divine Essence, and this protects him against the dispossession that is so much feared by the knowers and awliya.
Preceding this consecration and despite an exemplary path worthy of the greatest heirs of the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and in spite of the good tidings from the greatest knowers and masters, he was saddened because he did not feel up to his aspiration. He said (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret): “I have wasted my life without benefit.”
When he said this to his faithful companions Sidi Muhammad ibn Mechri (may ALLAH be pleased with him), he answered: “How could be you sorrowful when since the very beginning you have received confirmation that you would attain the Qutbaniya el ‘Udhma?” He (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) replied: “That is true but I saw nothing in myself that could reassure me until I received the Absolute Supreme Name.”
Sidi Muhammed ibn Mechri (may ALLAH be pleased with him) asked him: “Is this the one that you received from so-and-so or such-and-such?” Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) said: “No, this is the one that has been given to me by the Master of Existence who informed me of its great worth.”
Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) explained that the Pole is the supreme representative of ALLAH the Most High, his absolute emissary for the entirety of creation, globally and in all its detail, in each most infinite particle. He is in charge of the accomplishment of the True, in total inner and outer servitude.
Indeed, it is through him that each one of his servants is able to glorify ALLAH, to adore Him and prostrate before Him, and it is also thanks to him that the other secret orientation took place. In other words, the pole is to all creatures that which the soul is to the body. This strength comes from the secret of the Supreme Name and the flux of this Name in the whole universe.
It is through this Secret that he obtained audience at the divine high court, wholly respectful of that which he owes Him and at all times fulfilling all the rights inherent to the sublime manifestations of the Names, Attributes and Essence of ALLAH. It is to the Pole that ALLAH manifested Himself through His Reality, because he is the veil, by delegation of Muhammadian Reality, between divine reality and the whole of creation. ALLAH irrigates him with the knowledge of pre-existence and infinite pre-eternity and he is the depository of the divine Law (Shari’a) in ever age.
Hence, no veil could ever come between him and the well beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In every part of the visible world where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moves, this perfectly stable vision of him is never hidden from the Pole of Poles.
