The katmiya signifies that its holder possesses a hidden reality, characterized by that which constitutes the summum of saintly qualities. This reality is known by no other than ALLAH (The Glorified, The Exalted), his Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and by the holder who was himself informed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Indeed, Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) narrated: « He told me that I was the hidden Pole: this came directly from him to me in an awakened state and not in a dream.” Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) was asked: “What does the hidden pole mean?” and he (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) answered: “He is the one that ALLAH has hidden from all His creatures up to and including the angels and the prophets, with the exception of the Master of Existence (peace and blessings be upon him) who knows him and his situation.”
Then Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) asserted that he himself held all that has been obtained by the awliya with regard to divine perfections and who gathers them together […]. »
Similarly, regarding his station, (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) had revealed, as instructed by the well beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “The poles are to me what ordinary people are to the poles.”
Thus Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) is at the top of the spiritual ladder and above him are only the prophets and the companions of our generous Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He is the hidden pole who will be revealed to all the saints on the Day of Judgment through a voice claiming: “O people gathered here! Here is the guide through whom you have been irrigated since the beginning of creation and until now. ”
He explained as follows the role of the hidden pole: « Every saint drinks and is irrigated only from our ocean, from the time of creation, until the day when the trumpet of the last judgement will be blown.”
He (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) also said: « All the fluxes that emanate from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are gathered by the essences of the Prophets and all that emanates and arises from those essences are gathered into my essence and from me it is divided among all the creatures, from the beginning of the world until the day when the trumpet will be blown. I have also received particular knowledge from the Prophet without any intermediary.”
In one of his letters, Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) wrote: “By his Grace and Kindness, ALLAH The Most High, may He be glorified, has granted me – although I have no merit (before Him) – that which he has not granted to any other Shouyoukh nor anyone else after us. This was decreed by Him in Pre-existence, praise and profuse gratitude to Him: “And ALLAH gives His Blessings to whom He wills without account.” (Surat 02, verse 212)
These words were stated with the intention of offering the disciple the possibility to understand the importance and the worth of the blessings that ALLAH has granted to the owner of this spiritual degree, attained by no other saints, and thus to be grateful to ALLAH.
ALLAH, The Glorified, The Exalted, said: “And proclaim the Grace of your Lord” (Surat 93, verse 11)
In the same way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: “I was already a Prophet when Adam was between water and clay.”
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: « I will be the first to be resuscitated on the Day of resurrection. I will be the orator before the gathering of the resuscitated and the bringer of the good tiding when they have lost hope. Without any pretention, I hold the banner of praise to God.
I will be the first to ask and to obtain intercession. I will be the first to knock on the door of Paradise and to receive authorization to enter and I will enter with the impoverished believers. Without any pretention, I am the most meritorious of all the children of Adam with my Lord.
Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) said: « These two feet of mine are on every nape of the neck of each wali.”
His eminent companion Sidi Muhammad El Ghali (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) pointed out that Sidi Abdelqader Djilani (may ALLAH be pleased with him) had said something very similar to which Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) answered: “He was perfectly right but he was referring to the awliya of his time. As for me I am saying that these two feet of mine have never ceased to be on the nape of the neck of each wali.”
Concerning the role and the degree of Seyyidina (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret), Sidi Muhammad El Ghali (may ALLAH be pleased with him) said: « All of the saints receive the influx of the Prophets through his intermediary without being aware of it.”
