Tanzih	1. Zat -- the unmanifested
	2. Ahadiyat -- plane of Eternal Consciousness
	3. Wahdat -- plane of consciousness
	4. Wahdaniyat -- plane of abstract ideas
Tashbih	5. Arwah -- the spiritual plane
	6. Ajsam -- the astral plane
	7. Insan -- the physical plane

There are, again, seven aspects of manifestation:

Sitara -- planetary
Mahtab -- lunar
Aftab -- solar
Madeniat -- mineral kingdom
Nabitat -- vegetable kingdom
Haywanat -- animal kingdom
Insan -- human kingdom

The Ascending Planes of Evolution

Insan, being the ideal manifestation, recognizes God by the knowledge of his own self. Man reaches this perfection by development through five grades of evolution:

Insan

Nasut -- material plane
Malakut -- mental plane
Jabarut -- astral plane
Lahut -- spiritual plane
Hahut -- plane of consciousness

Zat

The Grades of Humanity

Each grade of development prepares a person for a higher one, and perfects him in five different grades of humanity:

Adam -- the ordinary man
Insan -- the wise man
Wali -- the holy man
Qutb -- the saint
Nabi -- the prophet

The five natures corresponding to these five grades are:

Ammara -- who acts under the influence of his senses;
Lauwama -- one who repents of his follies;
Mutmaina -- one who considers before taking action;
Alima -- one who thinks, speaks and acts aright;
Salima -- one who sacrifices himself for the benefit of others.

Correspondence of the Planes

The following is a diagram illustrating the planes of Nuzul and Uruj (involution and evolution):

Self	Plane	Descending Planes of Involution (Nusul)	Ascending Planes of Evolution (Uruj)
Tanzih -- the Universal Self	1.	Zat -- the unmanifested
	2.	Ahadiyat -- plane of Eternal Consciousness	Hahut --plane of consciousness
	3.	Wahdat -- plane of consciousness, Sound
	4.	Wahdaniyat -- plane of abstract ideas
Tashbih -- the Individual Self	5.	Arwah -- the spiritual plane	Lahut -- spiritual plane
	6.	Ajsam -- the astral plane	Jabarut -- astral plane Malakut -- mental plane
	7.	Insan -- the physical plane	Nasut -- material plane

All planes of existence consist of vibrations, from the finest to the grossest kind; the vibrations of each plane have come from a higher one, and have become grosser. Whoever knows the mystery of vibrations, he indeed knows all things.

The Five Elements

Vibrations are of five different aspects, appearing as the five elements:

Nur -- ether
Baad -- air
Atesh -- fire
Aab -- water
Khaak -- earth

In relation to these elements, mankind has five senses:

Senses	Organs
Basarat -- sense of sight	the eyes
Samat -- sense of hearing	the ears
Naghat -- sense of smell	the nose
Lazzat -- sense of taste	the tongue
Muss -- sense of touch	the skin

Through these senses and different organs of the mental and physical existence the Ruh, the soul, experiences life; and when the Ruh receives the highest experience of all phases of existence by the favor of the murshid, then it will have that peace and bliss, the attainment of which is the only object of manifestation.
