Everything has a heart and the heart of the Qur’ān is Yā Sin.2
“Ya Seen” is the 11th name of Sayedena Muhammad (s). It means that if you want to move towards the Divine heart, you must come through the heart of the Messenger of the Divine (s). When you come through the heart of Prophet (s), your soul will be dressed with a secret. That secret is found in Surah Yā Sin:
“The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!” (36:58)
It means that the secret of whirling is to receive that peace. When you truly submit, and begin to follow Allah / God’s will instead of your will; when you begin to live a spiritual life and leave the distractions of the material world, God’s attribute of mercy will dress your soul with a feeling of peacefulness that cannot be conveyed with words. And what happens when you receive peace?
The answer is found at the end of Yā Sin:
“But His command, when He intendeth a thing,
is only that he saith unto it: Be! And it is.
Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion over all things!
Unto Him ye will be brought back” (Surah 36:82-83).
God is praising the hand that will reach that reality. In that hand is dominion over all things, and if we reach to that reality, we will be dressed with those secrets. That is why Saints have Heavenly power. Because they opened their hearts to that reality, they were dressed from the Divine heart with the secrets of Surah Yā Sin, and were given the power of kun fayakuun. If they intend something, they need only say “be” and it is, because they have a direct line to Divine Presence.
So Mawlana is teaching that all of the secrets of whirling can be found in Yā Sin. That surah is also describing the relationship of the sun and the moon, which is the relationship of the right hand to the heart:
“It is not for the Sun to catch up to the Moon nor for the Night to outstrip the Day: each is swimming in its (assigned) orbit” (36:40).
The Divine is describing that one doesn’t overtake the
