I shall recount a luminous experience and true vision I had in order to illuminate this meaning. It was as follows: At one time I was pondering over the use of the first person plural in the verse Fatiha:
You alone do we worship and from You alone do we seek help,
and my heart was seeking the reason why the first person singular had been been transposed into the first person plural of ?we worship?( na?budu). Suddenly from that ?Nun? the mystery and virtues of performing the prayers in congregation was unfolded to me. I saw that my participating in the congregation in Bayezid Mosque, where I was performing the prayer, made each member of the a sort of intercessor for me, who testified to and affirmed each of the statements I pronounced in reciting the prayers. In the midst of the great, multiple worship of the congregation, I received the courage to offer my deficient worship to the Divine Court. Then a further veil was lifted. That is, all the mosques of Istanbul were added. The city became like Beyazid Mosque. Suddenly I felt as though I was receiving their prayers and affirmation. Then within that, I saw myself in the mosque of the face of the earth, in the circular rows around the Ka?ba. I declared: ?All praise be to God, the Sustainer of All the Worlds!? I have intercessors to this great number; they say exactly the same words as I say in the prayers, confirming me. Since this veil was raised by the imagination, the Noble Ka?ba became like the mihrab. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I called on the ranks of the congregation to testify and entrusted the interpreter of belief, ?I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God? to the Black Stone. While saying this, a further situation was laid open before me: I saw that the congregation of which I was a part was separated into three circles:

The First Circle was the vast congregation of believers and those who affirm Divine Unity on the face of the earth.

The Second Circle: I looked and saw that I was part of a congregation consisting of all beings, all of which, performing prayers and glorification, were occupied with the benedictions and glorification particular to its group and species. Their worship consists of the activities we observe, called ?the duties of things.? Declaring: ?God is Most Great!? before this, I bowed my head in wonderment, and looked at myself:

Within a Third Circle I saw an astonishing microcosm which was apparently and in quality small, but in reality, number, and duties, great. TThis, from the particles of my being to my external senses was a congregation in which every group was occupied with duties of worship and thanks. In this circle, the dominical inner faculty in my heart was saying: ?You alone do we worship and from You alone do we seek help? in the name of the congregation. Just as in the two former congregations my tongue had said it, having formed the intention to say it in their names.
