In Jalaluddin Rumi's Masnavi, Section 158 depicts the initial stage of Zayd's mystical transformation, where he responds to the Prophet Muhammad's inquiry by describing his profound spiritual awakening. Zayd explains that his intense love and nightly vigils have allowed him to transcend temporal boundaries, uniting pre-eternity (azal) and post-eternity (abad). This transcendence grants him a direct, unmediated vision of the unseen (ghayb), enabling him to perceive the Divine Throne (Arsh), the eight heavens, and the seven hells as clearly as physical objects. This visionary state represents a crucial stage of spiritual realization, serving as the prerequisite experience of cosmic awareness that precedes his ultimate self-annihilation (fana).
