The Divine name of Essence (dhat) meaning Al-Lah (اللہ) has a special significance. That is why Sufis recommend Muraqaba of the Name of Essence in order to create a link and to watch the divine Light of that name.

This whole universe is based on the fact that it belongs to a single Being, meaning He is the only Lord of all the creatures. Due to this Reality all creatures are aware of one another and are in the service to one another. If this universe had not belonged to a single Being, then there would not have been any link between the creatures. This Lord of the Universe is called Al -Lah and in the Divine Names this is the Name of Essence. Other names show the Divine Attributes. In the name of Al-Lah a certain Light is hidden which reveals the creativeness and the sovereignty. Through this Light, a person is able to see the foundation of the Universe, because creativity and sovereignty are extended to all the creatures.

In the Muraqaba the students imagine that in their heart the Name of Essence Al -Lah is written in luminary letters and its rays are all over the body of that student. Therefore the deeper the imagination is formed, the higher the Gnostic sees the entire cosmos immersed in the light of Divine Name of Essence. At its height, God’s characteristic of Creation and Sovereignty is revealed in his heart.
