The learned divines and ancient saints have described two worlds--------the world of command and the world of creation. I have, for reasons of making it more clear, divided the world of creation into two parts----world of simile and world of matter. Thus in all become three worlds -----world of command, world of simile and world of matter. The single collective name of these worlds is called universe.

In the world of matter there are earth, sun, moon and all the stars. The world of simile and the world of command are spread in the open place of the universe. It is also existing in earth and stars and spheroids though it is not felt by their inhabitants. Neither the creatures living in the world of simile feel about the spheroids.In the Holy Quran in Chapter Al-Imran Verse 132 and Chapter Al-Hadid Verse 21 it is mentioned that the extensiveness of the paradise is as the extensiveness of the heaven and the earth.

The entire universe is of spherical shape. Its center is Arsh-i-Aazam and the center of the fixed point of the personality (Zaat Behet which has been told in the Holy Quran as Summas Tawa Alal Arsh(firmy established on the throne). This is the Reality of that personality which is unconcerned from the attributes we assign to Him. Around this Zaat-Behet is the world of personal reflection Zaat-i-Tajalliyat. From the sources of the Arsh begin qualitative reflections that abecome comparatively less and less. Though the ingredient of personal and qualitative reflections is Arsh, but is latent all the time and everywhere in the entire universe as electricity is in the clouds. After Arsh are Basait whose numbers are only known to God. But among them of importance are these: First is Rooh-i-Baseet, or Roohul Azam. Second is Aql-e-Baseet and the third is Nafs Baseet, and after Nafs Baseet is Adam Baseet. Remember that we are descending from Arsh to Aalam-i-Meesal and Alam-i-Maadi. Those Baseet which have been mentioned after Arsh and other worlds which will be now described exist around the Arsh like layers. At the end of Adam Baseet ends The Alam-i-Amr.

After Alam Amr is Alam-i-Meesal whose first layer is called Hoo. After it in successive order are the worlds of Haahoot, Laahoot, Jabroot and Malakoot. Here ends the worlds of paradises. After it is Naasoot, that is, worlds of hell whose boundary line coincides with our material world. Naasoot is the material world. For easy grasp I have given it the name of Hell.

This is the descending order of the world, that is, we have come from Arsh towards the material world. In this the only thing to keep to mind is that every world and every layer of that world is finer and finer in accordance with its distance to Arsh so much so that our material world is the thickest.
