The nature of the descent of revelation

Al Hakam Weekly13th March 2026

In continuing the aforementioned discussion, the Promised Messiahas said: “Physicians associate certain natural factors with sleep. However, I observe that when it is the will of God Almighty to speak with me, at such a time, though I am in a state of complete wakefulness, God suddenly induces in me a state of drowsiness and light slumber, and pulls me out of this physical realm completely, so that I am able to relate to the spiritual realm. Then, after God has finished speaking, He returns my physical consciousness and senses so that I, as the recipient of revelation, may preserve it. Then, He casts a state of drowsiness over me again, whereafter He awakens me once again, so that I am able to memorise the revelation. In this manner, therefore, on certain occasions, this will happen even fifty times. This is the power of God. He is above and beyond the phenomenon of sleep as we observe in nature, and physicians and doctors cannot understand its deeper essence.”

(Malfuzat [English], Vol. 2, pp.173)
