What is the world of spirituality, its reality, and its validity, and what is the world of numbers associated with Dhikr?
The term "world of spiritualists" often refers to the world of jinn and dealing with them, and subjugating them. A Muslim jinn is called 'ulwi (upper/celestial) and a disbelieving one is called 'sufli (lower/earthly). As for the "world of numbers associated with (remembrance of Allah)," it means that for every one of Allah's names and every number of invocations, there are jinn servants who appear to serve the one performing dhikr when it is recited a specific number of times. It should be known that dhikr is tawqifi (divinely ordained), meaning it is not permissible to perform dhikr except in accordance with the Prophetic . Otherwise, it would be an innovation (bid'ah) and misguidance, especially if it involves names that are not among the names of Allah or isolated names.
