Essay on Quran for Men and Women of Understanding. (أُوْلُوا الْأَلْبَابِ) REAL COPY - For Merge

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.1
Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be

worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who
sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber,
nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in
the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that
can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He
knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this
world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter.
And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge
except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the
heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in
guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High,
the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-
Kursi.]
Preface:
Quran is a book of healing, the healing of the body, the

mind and the Qalb soul. It establishes a long lasting
relationship with its Qari (reader), extending into
afterlife. The passage in this life is not only facilitated
by its Ayaat (verses), but given a new meaning, the
journey of the soul, in the company of the all-pervading
everlasting Being.
Until this Being is felt, closer than the jugular vein,

science, reason and logic will reign supreme.
Love is the catalyst which brings a transformation in the
Mizaj (perspective) of a human, who undergoes a
metamorphic change in his or her personality.
When a scientist, a person of logic reads the following

verses.
Ha. Mim.
The revelation of the Book is from Allah the Exalted in
Power, Full of Wisdom.
Verily in the heavens and the earth,

are Signs for those who believe.
Seeing and hearing these verses bring no transformation,

until one journey’s from Islam (sharia)
to Iman to Ihsan(Sacrificing ones needs for others) to

Irfan( Considering every thing in life as a Maeashaat
Will of Allah).Only then one can see the DNA
transcribing its genetic information unfolding in the new
creation in its mother’s womb, the flower communicating
electromagnetically with the bee, advising it the amount
of nectar it contains, the photon travelling from the sun
to produce photo-synthesis in the cells of a plant through
the process of quantum superposition, each an attempt to
conserve time and energy in nature, all an effort towards
corrobating and collaborating the needs of the humans to
embark on their journey across diverse lands, in the
depths of oceans and ultimately becoming spacefarers, all
a sign of the progression of commands in the Divine book
of nature in space and time, and the commands in the
Divine books of God, the Torah, Psalms, Bible and the
latest version the Quran, which carries with in the
method and terminology, to achieve these cosmic
explorations with the help of the Divine dictionary of
words such as Taddaburun, Taffakurun, Ulul Albaab, Ulul
Absaar reflecting on the interface, the consciousness of
a Momin. Unfortuntely appearing nowhere in the
curriculum of both the madressah and the western
modeled secular school. From grade 1 through grade 12.
Setting asides our Astro-physicists, Astro-biologists,
Engineers and Scientists, Doctors, Military Scientists
and Militory Historians devoid of the need to search the
knowledge of the Creator (Marifah). No other book
comes close to basing itself on an intellectual vocabulary
described by the Creator of the universe Himself. Until
we integrate and implement Quranic term “Ulul Albaab”
based on empirical (Fikr: in the laboratory) and the
intuitional knowledge (Zikr: ilham, kasfh, and wajdaan) of
a mystic, skypecall_2013-11-02-15-13.mp4 a Muslim scientist will

remain in the state of rijs (doubt). A path of an intellect
varying from the basic instincts ( asfla safleen ) studying
the spread across the length and breadth of the universe
will not attain the level of perfection (ahsan e taqweem),
without cleansing the inner self, starting with our
primary schools in the east and the sunday schools in our
mosques in the west. We would remain guilty of what the
following verses mention:
Chapter (10) sūrat yūnus (Jonah)
And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have

believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muhammad], would
you compel the people in order that they become
believers?
No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He

will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not
understand.
Say, "Observe what is in the heavens and earth." But of

no avail will be signs or warners to a people who do not
believe.
Picking up the pieces where great scholars and

mathematician Averroes or Ibn Rushd and Shaykh Ibn
Arabi left, almost a thousand years ago.
Writing in the Decisive Treatise below, Ibn Rushd

(Averroes) explains the text of Quran as a catalyst for
learning Science as a Divine command.
That the Law calls for consideration of existing things
by means of the intellect and for pursuing cognizance of
them by means of it is evident from various verses in the
Book of God (May He be blessed and exalted). There is
His statements (May He be exalted), “Consider, you have
sight”. [59:2]; this is a text for the obligation of using
both intellectual and Law-based syllogistic resoning. And
there His state-ment (May He be exalted), “Have they
not reflected upon the kingdoms of the heavcens and the
earth and what things God has created? “[7:185]; this is
a text urging reflection upon all the existing things. And
God (May He be exalted) has made it known that one of
those whom He selected and venerated by means of his
knowledge was Abraham (peace upon him); thus, He (May
He be exalted) said, “ And in this way we made Abraham
see the kingdoms of the heavens and the earth, that he
might be…” [And so on to the end of] the verse [6:75].
And He (May He be exalted) said, “Do they not reflect
upon the camels, how they have been created, and upon
the heaven, how it has been raised up?” [88:17]. And He
said, “And they ponder the creation of the heavens and
the earth” [3:191] ---and so on, in innumerable other
verses.
Chapter (35) sūrat fāṭir (The Originator)
Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky,
and We produce thereby fruits of varying colors? And in
the mountains are tracts, white and red of varying
shades and [some] extremely black.
And among people and moving creatures and grazing

livestock are various colors similarly. Only those fear Allah
, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed,
Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving.

Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah and establish prayer and
spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly
and publicly, [can] expect a profit that will never perish -
We see the signs in nature to be studied, catalogued and

applied in the scientific laboratories along with the
establishment of prayers and charity in an individual’s
life. The third stage begins is the heart and its states.
Syedna Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani r.a in his book Sirr- ul
Israr describes the phenomena only just being studied
by quantum physicists.

Asrar. Including but not limited to Allama Muhammad

Iqbal’s “The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in
Islam”.
This essay contains a repetition of the verses of the

noble Quran to prove and elaborate a point contained in
its infinite dimensions, a miracle of the last book. As the
fractals in nature written by the same Author, bringing
order out of chaos in nature, so the verses of the Quran
in endless repetition appearing a fractal in the book by
the same Author with endless combinations and
permutations , diminishing chaos and bringing order in
our lives.
A Sufi experiencing his destiny with an utmost intensity,

the intensity being the Will of God.Often described as
Jazb in their literature, an intermittent occurrence,
dependent more on the Will of the Creator then the
effort of the traveler (Salek). Usually under the core
direction and care of a spiritual director described as a
Shaykh or Murshid or a Mentor. Who having the good
fortune of already mapped out this journey, to discover
the secrets of the self. Ironically two humans endowed
with, immense intellect and knowledge sitting across
each other engrossed professionaly, are unaware of the
immense inner experiences of the other. One jagged
with doubts and relying on the repeatability of the
scientific method, having endless questions but no clue
what a mystical way entails.Untill endowed with a vision.
The guidance to the best of creation at each moment of
their extreme sufferings and distress by the Creator.
What Bertrand Russell terms as:
But the mystic lives in the full light of the vision: what
others dimly seek he knows, with a knowledge besides
which all other knowledge is ignorance.
Chapter (2) sūrat l-baqarah (The Cow)
(Charity is) for Fuqara (the poor), who in Allah's Cause

are restricted (from travel), and cannot move about in
the land (for trade or work). The one who knows them
not, thinks that they are rich because of their modesty.
You may know them by their mark, they do not beg of
people at all. And whatever you spend in good, surely
Allah knows it well.
Fractals : The thumb prints of God.
Fractal geometry mapping the nature outside, a kind of

self-replicating and self-similar patterns in the entire
universe in the formations of galaxies, the mountain
structures, to snowflakes on earth, in our blood vessels,
trees and the coral in the sea. The Quran following the
same patterns of fractal geometry the speech of the
same Creator and hence the same style. To those whom it
appears disjointed, monotonous, and repetitive often miss
the totality of its message, like a great puzzle in its
infinite manifestations, being the speech of the Bearer
of life out of darkness, so often missed by a casual
reader. Whether it starts with a verse on Moses (May
Allah Peace be Upon him) in the second chapter of the
Quran , slowly building and mixing with other instructions
throughout, like a seed growing in the earth with a stem,
slowly bifurcating into thousands of shoots, leading to
guidance for those of the past, present and the future,
each verse connected with another instruction, like
pearls in a bead, keeping the old and growing into new
ones, a web of never ending dimensions nor having any
contradictions, spread in the entire chapters of the
Quran and its extension in the Universe, as ‘Tilka Ayaat
Ullah’. Usually accompanied with a hard fact, a fruit, at
the end of these stems, explained as ayaat signs by just
one word or a sentence in the Semitic language, Arabic(
or by Hebrew or Aramiac earlier on in the life of
Prophets of the Abrahimic religions attesting to the
continuity of Divine Commands, using numbers like seven
connoting multiples, and six for aoens, borrowing heavily
from the culture and traditions which were recipient of
these signs ) , to be proved much later by modern
science captitalizing as there very own, in the evolution
of man and the universe. Though not a book of science
and not even a book in the traditional sense, Quran
contains directions and guidance for all human kind. A
speech from the Creator to the created.
Chapter (47) sūrat muḥammad
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon
[their] hearts?
Essay on Quran for Men and Women of

Knowledge and Wisdom. (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ
So all the praises and thanks are to Allah, the
Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the earth, and the
Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
And His (Alone) is the Majesty in the heavens and the

earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
(This is) a Book (the Quran) which We have sent down to

you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its
Verses, and that men and women of understanding may
remember
Quran treats the universe as an organic being. A vast and

elaborate creation which comes in to being by the word
‘Be’ of God. This essay synthesizes the dilemma of
modern day Muslims, in their failures to discover their
moorings, by being captivated by the western civilizations
world view, and thought processes, its corporate minions,
vast military, industrial complexes, phenomenal and
dazzling successes, accompanied by abysmal failures in
its inherent greed, its unethical and methodical devouring
of the resources of the world. Skepticism abound in the
other worldly injunctions, of religion, bordering on
illusion. The modern day Muslim unable to reconcile his or
her inner storms, growing far greater than the outer
ones, appears self-destructive at times or resigned to his
fate on others. A reflective synthesis of the Quran at
this critical juncture embodies a world view of which
Iqbal had a rare glimpse in his “Reconstruction of
Religious thought in Islam.” “The most remarkable
phenomenon of modern history, however, is the enormous
rapidity with which the world of Islam is spiritually
moving towards the West. There is nothing wrong in this
movement, for European culture, on its intellectual side,
is only a further development of some of the most
important phases of the culture of Islam. Our only fear
is that the dazzling exterior of European culture may
arrest our movement and we may fail to reach the true
inwardness of that culture”.3
Concerning the dangers of getting trapped by the

negative influences of both these societies, the
materialistic west, and the obscurantists east, resulted
in easily being indoctrinated by value systems, termed as
absolute truths, leading to a certain pattern of thought
and behavior in life. As regards the benefits that may
accrue to an individual or a society as a whole, at the cost
of alienating a lot of other viewpoints, ends in an
argument for conflict and war. Though in its essence
Islam is a message of peace and harmony, wisdom and
knowledge for all mankind, not the racial, ethnic, or tribal
prerogative of a select few. God would question all those
acting on His behalf as emissaries and guardians, whether
they delivered the message of Islam, His message
through dialogue, understanding and love or through
brute force? In their enthusiasm overstepping the very
injunctions of Quran.
In retrospect presenting the Quran no single individual

or era is sufficient, to completely understand its
message, as its one line instructions blossom into multiple
verses containing meanings which when reflected upon,
lead to wave upon wave of insurmountable grandeur,
dazzling beauty, unmatched eloquence, magnificent
splendor, unlimited power, sublime insights, everlasting
knowledge, pristine majesty, unveiling itself through
eternity, in its infinite depths, forming a grand mosaic
radiating from the early moments of big bang to the
past, present and future of any soul, at levels cognizant
of its capacity and vigor. Quran mentions “If the ocean
were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my
Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would
the words of my Lord, even if we added another
ocean like it, for its aid.”4 Each scholar of Quran there
is one more learned.
The great misconception among all the three Judea

Christian Islamic faiths is the idea of a new religion with
its own distinct prophets, nothing is farther from the
truth, John (May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)
son of Zachariah (May Allah’s peace and blessings be
upon him), prayed in the Temple of Jerusalem, Jesus
(May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) son of
Mary (May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon her)
prayed near the sea of Galilee, Mohammad (May Allah’s
blessing and peace be upon him ) son of Hazrat Bibi Amina
(May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon her) praying in
the grand mosques of Mecca and Medina did not eclipse
the other, but carried the one true message of Islam
(Arabic) for submission to the Will of One God. It was
only their later day followers who unable to reconcile the
dichotomies set in motion by the titanic forces, in the
history of human thought and action, with inherent
ulterior motives, veered on tangential courses. The two
broad level of enquiries albeit God does not exist, and its
all delusional thinking emanating from our minds, as David
Hume puts it “The primary religion of mankind arises
chiefly from an anxious fear of future events.”5 and
secondly again his observation “The whole frame of
nature bespeaks an intelligent author and no rational
enquirer can, after serious reflection, suspends his belief
a moment with regard to the primary principles of
genuine Theism and Religion”6, lends firm support in one’s
life’s experiences, ultimately pertaining to finding the
means of an eventual resolution of the dichotomies and
contradictions between the inner and the outer self of
the I. Men and women of understanding (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ
accepting the oneness (Tawhid) of Allah (swt) almighty
as the only priority, with in their hearts, the rest being
the supplications for righteous deeds and piety according
to the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.
This (Quran) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof

against them), in order that they may be warned thereby,
and that they may know that He is the only One Ilah (God
- Allah) - (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah),
and that Ulul Albab (Men and women of understanding)
may take heed.7
And receiving,” Hikma “(wisdom).
He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom

Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant good. But
none remember (will receive admonition) except Ulul
Albab (men and women of understanding).8
This article is meant to acknowledge for its esteemed

readers that the task outlined above is certainly not
easy, if nigh impossible. Imprint psychology plays the
foremost role. Veneration for all systems heavenly or
man-made, are a priori imprinted. Not impervious to the
authority of its Creator, we take up the Quran as the
only absolute, in the ever changing dominion of God. A
pillar to be grasped after all pillars have fallen, an elixir
of life, when one’s own shadow has departed. Leaving
only tears in the eyes, falling on its leaves.

MESSAGES FROM OUTER SPACE
The presence and search for intelligent life on planets in

our galaxy and the universe is an endeavor, captivating
the minds of philosophers and scientists, transcending
caste, creed, race, religions or national divides. NASA
formally started a program in 1992, to discover
intelligent signals from other earth like worlds, the
observations called SETI (Search for extraterrestrial
intelligence), were conducted in the radio frequency
range. Millions of dollars have been spent to find that one
SIGNAL from outer space in the hope would provide
mankind with tremendous knowledge from civilizations,
far advanced technologically, bearing insights into the
great heavens itself. A vast number of people are
engaged in the search to find out, if we are alone or are
there other more intelligent beings. Organizations like
SETI Institute and the Planetary Society are in the
forefront.
Radio Telescope Arecibo. Puerto Rico
Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico by Waleska Ruiz.

The Very Large Array is a group of 27 bowl-shaped radio
antennas in the state of New Mexico. Each antenna is 82
feet (25 meters) across. When used together they make
one very powerful radio telescope.
Now we have the tools to narrow our search. Earth based

radio and optical telescopes in tandem with man made
satellites are scanning the sky, in the entire electro
magnetic spectrum. New scientific ideas are being
developed to look into other alternatives, other systems.
The recent advancement in finding extra solar planets
every two weeks have given tremendous optimism that
one day we might CONTACT.
The abundance of elements, of what constitute life is
brimming, in the whole universe. We have already started
finding, the factors on the right side of Francis Drakes
famous equation.
“N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L
Where,
N = The number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy

whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.
R* =The rate of formation of stars suitable for the

development of intelligent life.
fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.
ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an

environment suitable for life.
fl = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually

appears.
fi = The fraction of life bearing planets on which

intelligent life emerges.
fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a
technology that releases detectable signs of their
existence into space.
L = The length of time such civilizations release

detectable signals into space.
Within the limits of our existing technology, any practical

search for distant intelligent life must necessarily be a
search for some manifestation of a distant technology. In
each of its last four decadal reviews, the National
Research Council has emphasized the relevance and
importance of searching for evidence of the
electromagnetic signature of distant civilizations” .9

discovered companion in the dotted circle.
Are we alone in the cosmos, or are there other

intelligent being or beings.
Chapter (13) sūrat l-raʿd (The Thunder)
Yusuf Ali: Whatever beings there are in the heavens and

the earth do prostrate themselves to Allah
(Acknowledging subjection),- with good-will or in spite of
themselves: so do their shadows in the morning and
evenings.
Do we ever reflect on the above verses and see signs of

the extraterrestials by their shadows in other planets
.both animate and inanimate.
What influence and effect do they have or will have on

our daily lives. How did the origin and evolution of the
universe and the earth leading to mankind occur?.
“The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater
than the creation of mankind. But most of mankind do
not know it.”.10 What is the nature of Time?. What is
non locality and quantum entanglement?. What is
consciousness, are all of our strivings towards a Universal
Consciousness. Is it possible to communicate with the
Universal Consciousness?. Is it possible to communicate
with the extraterrestrials with the Will of this
Universal Consciousness?
What are the after effects of the new world order?,

how are the sweat shops of the world’s transforming the
once divine rights of the Kings into the divine rights of
the Corporations their greedy cahoots, who under the
guise of democracy and human rights are committing the
worst atrocities known in history. Is economic
emancipation of the poor more fundamental to them then
their spiritual yearnings? How can Inter-Galactic space
travel be initiated?. Is Dialogue essential to the survival
of human species, essential and vital questions of our
era? Highly skeptical of phenomenon we cannot see
through the telescope, the microscope, the bubble
chamber or verified by the large hadron collider.
Indirect evidence like an astronomical string shifting the
background cosmic radiation slightly, one day could
confirm our belief in the string theory. Science has
taught us to respect logic and rationality only. Robert
Briffault in Rational evolution says. “The last three
centuries have witnessed the continuous growth of
skepticism, not merely in regard to the dogmas of
religions, but in regard to all things which fail to
furnish a clear and rational account of themselves”.11
Do scriptures or Noble books like the Torah, Psalms,

Bible and Quran qualify as messages not extracted from
the human mind, but a product of an unknown source
outside the universe. From extra space dimensions or
parallel universes, or “supra space”. Lets us take up this
challenge and reflect on there relevance and, their
unrelenting control on a large portion of mankind.
Translations of any book often tend to obscure its
meanings from the original text, as some western critics,
claim there is no consensus in the verses of the Quran, as
one can pretty much read what you wanted into them.
Here a leap in Faith occurs, like Supernovae, triggered by
intensive reading of the Quran, prayers of a parent, or a
soul shattering event, clearing its meaning by the
personal Grace of God. Quran is a book of guidance for
those striving to find themselves, in the vast cosmic
ocean of utter darkness where light is a rarity,
transforming to pure Gold in that one instance, one
moment in eternity which might never return. A book
which unravels and unfolds on the deep recesses, of the
heart in the emptiness of the dark nights and in the early
morning fragrances of dawn. Bringing its reader, closer to
the speech of its Creator and the Creator Himself.
Finding solace and comfort in the intrinsic and unique
relations, God grants each soul, numbered exactly,
passing from the primeval to higher stages, in the
development and evolution of what Mohammad Iqbal
defined, the inner Anfus (self) and outer Āfāq (world)
experiences. Abdullah Yusuf Ali explains. “Allah’s
greatness and infinitude are such that He can create
and cherish not only a whole mass, but each individual
soul, and He can follow its history and doings until the
final Judgement. This shows not only Allah’s glory and
omniscience and omnipotence: it also shows the value
of each individual soul in His eyes, and lifts individual
responsibility right up into relations with Him.”12
Explained in the following verse of the Quran.
Your creation and resurrection are like the creation and

resurrection of a single soul.13
Elevation of the Soul:
The pragmatic world is a world of diversity, like colony of

Bees, each individual working for the common good of the
whole. Each worthy of God’s grace. It is the human
personality both physiologically and psychologically,
which, bent on its own self destruction, sets limits to
attaining, an indestructible personality both here and the
hereafter, succumbing to temporary biological
satisfactions.
A starting point in the Quran is the immense importance

each human being holds with God, and the subsequent
need of self control, accompanied by the opening up of
torrents of divine bliss on each soul man or women a
spiritual attainment which has no parallels. Provided he or
she takes the initiative and maintains that control
starting with the humbleness of the heart and a prayer
for forgiveness, and for His love and Fiendship. As the
Lord the Creator and the Sustainer, the most Gracious
and the most Merciful remarks in His own words.
If it had been Our Will,

We should have elevated him
With Our Signs; but he
Inclined to the earth,
And followed his own vain desires.
His similitude is that
Of a dog: if you attack
Him, he lolls out his tongue,
Or if you leave him alone,
He (still) lolls out his tongue.
That is the similitude
Of those who reject Our Signs;
So relate the story;
Perchance they may reflect.14
The verses 7-176 mentioned being a simile, carry a very

deep message. Over coming the unbridled temptations.
1. The study of modern psychology, helps us in controlling

and overcoming the negative traits or the impulses of
the reptilian brain/mind still at work, is ultimately based
on the knowledge acquired through the theory of natural
selection and hence its limitations. In Islam or for that
matter in any major Abrahamic religion be it Judaism or
Christianity this ego/self is at its lowest level with it's
urge for greed and lust a hurdle and a hindrance in
acquiring the greatest level of spiritual attainment which
is Nafs Al Mutminah.(soul at peace). And hence a
comparison with a dog in seeing where the first hurdle
lies. Nafs Ammarah which prompts to evil. This inner
transformation of the soul is the essential spiritual
message of Quran, and for that matter all the Noble
books revealed to the earlier Prophets, while seeking
assistance from the Ayah’s or Sign’s in the study of
nature (one example being in studying the characteristics
of a dog both negative, and at other times positive, in
acting as the protective companion of the dwellers of the
cave) and along with that study of History (studying the
end of mighty empires which succumbed, to these
unbridled temptations under the guise of unremitting
freedoms, even altering the language , where calling each
other a dog becoming a slang, as synonymous with a
friend).
Nature, History, Inner experience if one can include

Hereafter(life after death) accompanied by and
including the inner transformation Tazkiyah e Nafs as
expressed in the observations of Hazrat Mohammad
Iqbal R.A as the three sources of Knowledge in Quran is
eloquently defined/combined in the verses of Sura Al
Jathiyaah, Sura Al Qaf, Sura Al Fajr, and Sura Al
Insan. However a fourth source, repeatedly alluded to in
the Quran is the Hereafter, and the numerous knowledge
yielding verses, therewith inciting humans, how to act in
this world in a certain way, to reap the rewards, in that
everlasting life, where death becomes only a
migration/transfer or Intiqal, for those blessed with
Divine Grace, in this world.
2. The Quran mentions animals and birds, as organized

communities just like humans. A sign for those, asking for
a miracle from God.
Chapter (6) sūrat l-anʿām (The Cattle)

Yusuf Ali: They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him
from his Lord?" Say: "Allah hath certainly power to send
down a sign: but most of them understand not.
Chapter (6) sūrat l-anʿām (The Cattle)
Yusuf Ali: There is not an animal (that lives) on the

earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part
of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from
the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in
the end.
And those not engaged in their studies in, Darul

Hikmets/Laboratories as a divine command, as worst still.
It is meaningful to note, that humans showing
characteristics, of animals like a dog, are called da'bbah
a hint at their evolutionary trait/ nature.
The Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane

describes da'bbah,‘Anything that walks [or creeps or
crawls] upon the earth , an animal that walks or creeps or
crawls , discriminating and not discriminating , any animal
upon the earth’ including humans in contrast to angels.
Chapter (8) sūrat l-anfāl (The Spoils of War)
For the worst of Beasts

In the sight of Allah
Are the deaf and the dumb
Those who understand not. (8:22)
Hear the Creator calls humans, by using the same word

da’bbah or beasts and the worst among them, for not
using their intellect, on being deaf and dumb to the
guidance and knowledge in Quran. Never caring to use
their Aql (intellect) for fathoming its message, thinking
it to be outdated, and a superstitious document of the
old.
We cannot entirely blame, the logical and the gifted, who

want to take everything on the face value, elaborated by
the misnomer, that the scientific method, or study of
nature is the only truth and knowledge yielding reality.
For those reading this article, and belonging in this
category of the logical, can never, ever reach the
Ultimate Reality without first reading the Quran, and
subsequently, attaining the perfection of the soul or ego,
by methods as practiced by eastern Sufism, elaborated
by Dr Mohammad Iqbal in the last chapter of his book
‘Reconstruction of Religious thought in Islam’ on ‘Is
Religion possible’. Which holds nothing less then a direct
vision of Reality, with remembrance or Zikar of God being
the foremost devotion to attaining this path. Otherwise
we will, spend our lives, in search of evidences, not
forthcoming. A director of the soul or a Murshid/Guide is
highly recommendable.
Learning about the animals their traits and behavior in

the mention of a dog, bee, spider, gnat, camel, and
humans too if they do not evolve spiritually remaining Al-
Hayawan Natiq a talking animal, or a cultured
animal/biological machine. The contemporary studies in
genetics and on the role of reproduction is pointed in the
Quran, as the seminal seed or fluid in various verses one
being.
Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit.

Is it you who create it (i.e. make this semen into a
perfect human being), or are We the Creator?
Every change including the quantum fluctuations from the

Big Bang to the creation of large scale structures,
including clusters and super clusters involve Fractals. All
these seeds whether of the Big Bang or the seed of the
human reproduction or the plant have an ingrained
mathematical or biological DNA leading to order out of
chaos through fractals. Those who do not want to reflect
and understand, given to an example of a donkey carrying
books, having learned Quran in their younger years, but
never fathoming at the later. Studying and observing
birds, DARPA the defense agency in US is trying to make
drones easily maneuverable in a forest. Dolphins and sea
lions are trained and used in naval warfare in varying
capacities.
Based on the ayahs and inspirations derived from Quran

an Ulul Albab, can attain a supreme degree of spiritual
development, while neither neglecting the power and
strength accompanied in their scientific and engineering
aspects/folds.
Eloquently described in the following verses, in reflecting
on the universe, and acquiring scientific power, along with
obtaining spiritual training.
Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day, and in

all that Allah hath created, in the heavens and the earth,
are signs for those who are God conscious.
This fusion of the ‘study of heavens and earth’ and

acquiring ‘Taqwa’ in its highest form is only possible
through the inner transformation of the mystical
scientist. Attesting to the holographic nature of the
universe and the mind conjoined together in the Ulul
Albab. One working at the level of sense perception and
other at possibly similar or close, to which William James
alludes to as the ‘Subliminal selves’. Reading the same
book, in three places, Ayat Allah in nature(Ilm), the
polished heart(Getting Guidance From Allah Subanhu) of
the Momin/Ulul Albab/Muttaqi and in the Noble
Quran(Book) a unity reflected in the Ulul Albab.
3. And hence the importance of Reflection and Reason in
most if not all (the unseen) at the end.
'We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,

signs, revelations, laws, etc.) in detail for the people who
reflect'. Quran 10:24.
The Lane-Arabic dictionary defines Qom as “A people, or

body of persons composing a community”.
This self restraint can not be attained without the Will

of Almighty Allah (swt).
Nor come nigh to unlawful sex
For it is a shameful (deed)
And an evil, opening the road
(To other evils). 15

The Almighty forgives all sins, for He knows the secrets
and the inner most thoughts and desires of His servants,
if they ask for true repentance, Allah the most Gracious
and the most Merciful responds with
Shaitan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders

you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal sexual
intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allah promises you
Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty, and Allah is All-
Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower
Life resembles a traveler on the land and sea, as the

Quran says:
He it is who enables you
To traverse through the land
And sea; so that you even board
Ships—they sail with them
With a favorable wind,
And they rejoice there at;
Then comes a stormy wind
And the waves come to them
From all sides, and they think
They are being overwhelmed:
They cry unto Allah, sincerely
Offering (their) duty unto Him,
Saying, “If Thou dost deliver us
From this ,we shall truly
Show our gratitude!
But when He delivers them

Behold! They transgress
Insolently through the earth
In defiance of right!
O mankind! Your insolence
Is against your own souls—
An enjoyment of the life
Of the Present: in the end,
To us is your return,
-And We shall show you
The truth of all that you did.16
And Again
Or ( Unbelievers’ state)
Is like the depth of darkness
In a vast deep ocean,
Overwhelmed with billow
Topped by billow,
Topped by (dark) clouds:
Depths of darkness, one
Above another: if a man
Stretches out his hand,
He can hardly see it!
For any to whom Allah
Giveth not light,
There is no light! 17
Once Allah (swt), guides to the straight path by His Will

as these verses explain, we need to be consistently
vigilant from the evil of Satan, the men or women, whom
we might try to imitate, for life is all about imitation,
processing information and data from all around us. We
need Quran and the company of the Aulia Allah(friends
of God), and ultimately become Aulia Allah by the Grace
of Allah(swt).
Wherewith, Allah guides all

Who seek His good pleasure
To ways of peace and safety,
And lead them out
Of darkness, by His Will,
Unto the light—guides them
To a Path that is Straight 18
These verses trace the history of each soul as it passes

through trials and tribulations in the spiritual journey in
search for God, in most cases blind, deaf and dumb, in
the darkness of night or day with heavy overcast and
thunder, lightning letting him or her see the truth for a
short duration, then overcome again with doubt and
inertia.
Travelers and seafarers, many of whom have physically

experienced these phenomena while at sea, now equally
apply to spacefarers travelling in the vast oceans of
space, in the last 50 years (Today is 10th April 10, 2017).
In a thousand years the solar system would have been
colonized. The Oort cloud mined for minerals.
Prophet Mohammad (May peace and blessing of Allah be

upon him), was only a messenger, of God, like any
messenger before him. The greatest miracle bestowed
upon him is the Quran, the word of Allah Subana-hu.The
most successful human being, both on the secular as well
as the religious plane, as described by Michael Hart, first
among the 100 greatest people who ever lived. When and
before success came to him, he chose to live as the
poorest of the poor’s, with a house barely high enough to
let him in, with having no doors but a sack hanging at the
entrance, where in the fire did not burn for days on end
to cook food ( notes Dr Abdal Hakim Murad). Do Muslims
differentiate among the prophets, certainly not? They all
practiced the same message. Jesus (May peace and
blessing of Allah be upon him) being elevated by none
other then the Creator Himself. These are not mere
coincidences, the major hurdle in understanding is either
you have this sense or you do not.
“For any to whom Allah

Giveth not light,
There is no light!” 19
It’s incumbent upon the learned classes especially our

philosphers, poets, scientists, engineers, biologist,
chemists, professors and teachers to reflect on more
than 750 verses on nature. A single word or a one line
verse in Quran contains billions of years of natural
history. Picking up the pieces where we left a thousand
years ago. Integrate with Avveroes also called Ibn Rushd
where he left, when he writes:
“Notwithstanding this, we do not find any religion which

is not attentive to the special needs of the learned,
although it is primarily concerned with the things in
which the masses participate. And since the existence of
the learned class is only perfected and its full happiness
attained by participation with the class of the masses,
the general doctrine is also obligatory for the existence
and life of this special class, both at the time of their
youth and growth (and nobody doubts this), and when
they pass on to attain the excellence which is their
distinguishing characteristic….Tahafut Al –Tahafut.”
Shall he then who knows that what has been revealed

unto you (O Muhammad SAW) from your Lord is the
truth be like him who is blind? But it is only the men of
understanding that pay heed….Quran 13:19.
COSMOLOGY AND ISLAM
Intuition and reason are amenable to one and the other

only that one lags behind. Gödel’s incompleteness for
every evidence comes a counter evidence, every logical
entity with a counter logical entity ad infinitum, mere
coincidence for the agnostic, but a Divine Plan in the
Zahir the exoteric and the Batin the esoteric in a
realization towards a Unity by righteous deeds attested
in the length and breadth of Quran in serial, relativistic
and mystical time, ordering order out of chaos, as Quran
says that Batil will be defeated by Haq. It is by the
virtue of this Tahqiq inside the heart which when
illuminated by Divine Light acting in the Ruh, that
transcending knowledge , and true meaning of the word
intellect is realized by the realization and actualization
as a Sufi saint says
The moment I realized the oneness of God,
The flame of His love shone within me and lead me on.
Constantly it burns in my heart, revealing its mysteries,
This fire of loves burns me from inside with no smoke,

fueled by my longing,
I found Him closer than my jugular vein,
My love has brought me face to face with Him. (Hazrat

Sultan Bahu)
Leading to the love of the Ultimate Divine in the heart of

the Ulul Albab. Two seemingly separate dimensions to be
worked on in the same breath as a single moment, in the
unity achieved with the inspiration of the word of God
the Quran. Behold! in the creation of the heavens and
the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there
are indeed Signs for men and women of understanding.
Men and women who celebrate the praises of Allah,
standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and
contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens
and the earth, (With the thought): "Our Lord! not for
naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee!
Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire. Quran
(3:190). 20
Islamic cosmology, are Ayaat Ullah, the Signs emanating

from the Word of God (Hadith Allah) both in the cosmos,
the human and the prophetic revelation the Glorious
Quran. What are these signs in the human?. All animals
possess extraordinary abilities, the dolphin able to
navigate by the sonar, the salmon and pigeons, including
the migratory birds using the earth magnetic field to
migrate thousands of miles, humans being the only animal
in the tree of evolution, besides possessing an advanced
cognitive facility having the potential to communicate
with a Higher Power.
And (Ve people!) In the creation of yourselves and

whatever God does to spread animals (throughout the
earth) are Signs for a people which believes (in the
truth of the Universe). (Reflect on the word Ayaat
which is being repeatedly used).
A small Seljuk Qur'an
Iraq, probably Baghdad, AH [5]54/AD 1159
Arabic manuscript on cream coloured paper, 284 leaves,
15 lines of text to the page, copied in elegant
black naskhi script, the text fully vocalised with recital
marks in red, of the double page frontispiece, only the
left-hand half remaining, with two half circles arranged
vertically with a central full circle and bold foliate
designs, in gold, dark blue and sepia, followed by a double
page illumination with borders featuring half circles and
intersecting loops in gold outlined in black and
highlighted in dark blue, with the central rectangles
containing the text of al-Fatihah and the beginning
of Surat al-Baqarah, gold rosettes for verse endings,
verse-counts and Qur'anic divisions marked with
marginal ornaments illuminated in gold, major Qur'anic
divisions also marked in the margin in
gold thuluth script, sura headings in gold thuluth script
with marginal palmettes, the last two pages with gold
borders, containing the text of the dated colophon,
trimmed to fit later stamped and tooled leather binding,

FOOTNOTES
 This very rare Qur'an was produced during a period of
the Abbasid Empire when the caliphate in Baghdad was
entirely dominated by the Seljuks, which began with the
Caliph al-Qa'im in AD 1055 and lasted till AD 1194. It is
a fine example of the great Islamic artistic traditions
that were revived and much enhanced under the
patronage of the grand Seljuk Sultans and particularly
the illustrious Vizir Nizam al-Mulk. This Qur'an
manuscript is of great significance and ranks in its group
of extant Qur'ans next to the Qur'an of Ibn al-Bawwab,
now in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin and the
Qur'ans in the Nasser D. Khallili Collection of Islamic
Art (David James, The Master Scribes: Qur'ans of the
11th to 14th Centuries, Oxford, 1992, pp.22-29).
SALEROOM NOTICES
 Additional note: the manuscript has two replacement
leaves at the beginning of surat al-Imran and is
misbound. The last verses of surat Maryam appear
before the beginning of surat Taha, whilst the first 38
verses appear in a different place.

Signs both in the physiological and the psychological

arena’s, the human body, brain and the self, a subject of
inquiry for men and women of learning of all the great
civilization’s from eons ago to the present, equally of
interest for the philosopher, physician , and the meta-
physician. Advancement in multi-disciplines of Ilm
(knowledge) is unraveling layers upon layers of intricate,
sophisticated, seemingly endless mystery of these most
amazing beings called the homo-sapiens. Able to study
the animals scattered on earth and to delve into their
own creation. The earth a living and breathing entity
supporting a host of species of plants and animals, a
precise cardiac rhythm, balancing the eco-systems.
Ha-Mim.
The revelation of the Book is from Allah the Exalted
in Power, Full of Wisdom.
Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those
who believe
And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that

animals are scattered (through the earth), are Signs for
those of assured Faith.
And in the alternation of Night and Day, and the fact
that Allah sends down Sustenance from the sky, and
revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the
change of the winds,- are Signs for those that are wise.
Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in

Truth; then in what exposition will they believe after
(rejecting) Allah and His Signs?
Chapter (30) sūrat l-rūm (The Romans)
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of
your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge
Fractal geometry with its self similar patterns in the
Galaxies, the earth, mountains, trees, even in our veins

with layer upon layer of new meanings.

to ponder the ebb and flow of the oceans, the migration

evening and returning before dawn. The alternation of
night and day creating cyclical movements in the jet

Quran mentions the creation of humans as no less in scale
as the creation of the heavens and the earth.
The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed

greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of
mankind know not.
Able to acquire a discourse with Allah Almighty through

knowledge, inner guidance and a book of revelation.
Do ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all

things in the Samawate (heavens )and on Ardh (earth),
and has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding
measure, (both) seen and unseen? Yet there are among
men those who dispute about Allah, without knowledge
and without guidance, and without a Book to enlighten
them!(Al Quran 31:20).
Now these Ayaat are gifts of Allah Almighty derived

from.
1. Ilm (Knowledge)
2. Hidaya (Illumination of the heart ,Allah the Most
Merciful and the Most Kind personal guidance)
3. Quran.
Signs or Ayaats from the above mentioned three

sources in their totality constitute Hikmah (wisdom)
as described in the following verses
He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to

whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant
good. But none remember (will receive admonition)
except Ulul Albab (men and women of
understanding).8
Now as there are different frames of references within

which humans act, an ensemble of various belief systems,
compartmentalized into materialistic and the otherworldly,
the logical/scientific/modern/rationale and the
intuitionist/religious/mystical/mythical, the profane and
profound.
Does there exists a unifying formula, a summation

Ni=n1+n2+n3+n4-------infinity. A summation of the
knowledge as revealed to Abraham and the latter Prophets,
from Moses to Jesus and to Mohammad. Is there a book
which sheds light, minutely on all aspects of humanely
existence.
Luckily we do, when the Quran reveal its secrets, to every

seeker so attuned by Divine Wisdom and Divine Grace.
But how we can attune our selves as such, to receive Divine

Guidance, from the Quran, what are the obstacles in this
path?
Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be
worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains
and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep
overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens
and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with
Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to
them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to
them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass
anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His
Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels
no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the
Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called
Ayat-ul-Kursi.]
When we start on a journey and path of finding an entity

beyond space and time, unaffected by slumber and sleep,
weariness and fatigue , the first thing we do is read, or
meet those endowed with such knowledge. Can be from
the Quran, or Bible or a Bhagavad Gita or a commentary
in books written by a philosopher, a scientist, an
anthropologist, a sociologist, a psychologist, etc, but no
matter how great the author’s appear, to be, he or she is
still a mortal.
As if not all, most of them, and this including the minds,

we come across and generally start our first debate with,
hold a subset of the Universal set, though tending to be
all knowing. Our intellect lies, in finding and picking, the
good coins from the bad ones that is being pragmatic, as
stressed by Dr Timothy Winter, not ignoring anyone. We
slowly form a world view, with or without a Creator. A
world view with a Creator is attained, only by the Will of
the Creator, or otherwise one is continually afflicted by a
condition defined as Rijis or doubt.
For ultimately even the reading of Quran, is to be sought

with prayers, as in the opening verses, to guide one on
the Siraat-ul-Mustaqeem the straight path, the path on
those whom Divine Guidance manifests.
And if your Lord had pleased, surely all those who are in
the earth would have believed, all of them; will you then
force men till they become believers?
No soul can believe, except by the Will of Allah, and He

understand.
believe.
Aptly described by Karl Jasper ‘everything is an object

for us, and it may be the greatest, still it is continually
with in an another it is not yet all’. And the ‘Creative
Evolution’ of Henri Bergson, in its emphasis on
consciousness, as a means to becoming in pure duration,
an active and creative partner, with the best of the
Creators, the Lord of the Worlds. Able to break the mold
of this world.
Quran stresses the importance of knowledge (Ilm ), and

those pursuing natural phenomena as men and women of
knowledge (Alamoon) , fearing God the most in the
following verses
Seest thou not that
Allah sends down rain
From the sky? With it
We then bring out produce
Of various colours.
And in the mountains
Are tracts white and red,
Of various shades of colour.
And black intense in hue.
And so amongst men
And crawling creatures and cattle,
Are they are various colours.
Those truly fear Allah,
Among His Servants,
Who have knowledge.(Al Quran 35-27) 23.
Allah Almighty grants guidance through the divine books

of revelation starting with Torah, Psalms, Bible and the
Quran. All an endeavor for the personal development of a
human from instincts acquired through evolution, to a
balanced middle way, being waylaid by the fellow traveler
to Satan and his friends in this movement towards the
Almighty. Every moment riddled by a conglomerate of
ideas, even the scholars reading the Divine message, as
sectional and mutually exclusive.
This discourse is further elaborated in the following

verses Quran 2:255.
And warning destruction if humans astray.
Do they not look in the dominion of the Samawate

(heavens) and the Ardh(earth) and all things that Allah
has created, and that it may be that the end of their
lives is near? In what message after this will they then
believe?
Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson pointing to the ever present
danger of the human species being wiped out by a
catastrophic event, to the architect of evolution, the co-
discoverer Dr Alfred Russel Wallace assigning an
Intelligent Power.
Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful

constantly creating and sustaining, the universe and earth
with His seen and unseen blessings accordingly as to the
needs of the recipient and its evolving form, created
from nothing to an onward stage in its evolution called
the order out of chaos in the life of an individual, a
community and the universe. The word of Allah (Kalimat
Allah, embedded as the unity of the universe/ body/
brain/mind/soul/Ruh). With reflection in the creation of
heavens and earth, the alternation of night and day, the
remembrances of God, while standing, sitting and lying,
finding laws of nature with understanding a purpose in
life, to asking forgiveness from the fire.
Finding laws of nature in the universe, or Ilm (science)
constitutes only a part of the whole Islamic cosmology.
Each human having the potential to develop, into an

integral interface between the cosmos, a polished heart
and the prophetic revelation, receiving guidance from
each establishing a continuum. Ayaat Ullah within human
the Ahsan Taqweem the most perfect, subtle, intricate
and the most complicated creature, bound by all the laws
of nature, not just a by product in turn having a cognitive
brain. The signs this interface interprets between the
seen (Afaq) and the unseen (Anfus) demands the same
criterion for checking their validity, as in the Ayaat.
(Quran: 17:36). An outer and an inner experience
validating the teachings of Quran on this Ulul Albab (‫أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ the Vice-Regent.
ِ‫)اْل َ ْلبَاب‬
Nothing is worse for a faithful

The loving faith is not

…and cool pleasant springs
The worshiped and kingdom is for the one
one who’s had a share of a great pain……Mulla Sadra.
.
.
Quran informs us of this unity between thought and

intuition in the following verses.

Observationion of Jupiter and its stars by the cadets at
Astronomy Observatory HasanAbdal.
Where a whole community achieves consciousness of the

Creator through reflecting on His Signs in the cosmos
and in the microcosm the human heart endowed with
Taqwa. As our mystic philosopher, mathematician and
poet Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A describes.
‘Sahib e Nazar sees this universe like a book of
revelation, this is also a book in which there is no doubt,
with the same Creator and the same style of creation,
Quran contains a description of the universe, and the
universe an exegesis and understanding of Quran, one
who denies the reality of the universe cannot believe in
any divine book. This universe is full of signs of intricate
beauty, there recitation constitutes the pastime of these
Sahib e Nazar. Sahib e Fikr, and Sahib e Zikr find the
real universe through contemplation of these signs. They
know that the sustainer of a seed in earth’s darkness,
and the revelation of Quran are from the same Being.
The Being who creates life in the womb of its mother’.
In modern scientific community, we see in David Bohm

being on the verge of contemplating the Ultimate truth,
as close as possible since our ancestors, viewed things as
a whole, when he speaks on perception.’ In physics we see
the parts because that’s the way we approach them last
few centuries, I think our perception is influenced by our
way of thinking so that we accept this mechanical way of
looking at things, but if you went back a thousand or two
thousand years I don’t think the people actually saw the
parts as primary, the way we see depends on the way we
think you see.’
I would emphasize here that mystical experience has
parallels in the scientific inductive method only that it
occurs by a mechanism not understood by modern
science, the cognitive mind based physiology/psychology.
Suppressing and interrupting the usual dreams in the
Freudian mode, like an emergency broadcast system,
however short to long depending on the contents of the
message, passive but very, concise and authoritative
unlike any other if one experiences it for the first time,
in his or her life. During which the mind of the recipient
does not astray. A mystical insight, in a dream like
posture or when fully conscious , remains on hold as long
as the Grace of God is on hold here I mean His personal
guidance, otherwise in the complete absence of His Grace
we would not exist , for as the following ayaat/signs
mention,
If it had been Our Will,

We should have elevated him
With Our Signs; but he
Inclined to the earth,
And followed his own vain desires.
His similitude is that
Of a dog: if you attack
Him, he lolls out his tongue,
Or if you leave him alone,
He (still) lolls out his tongue.
That is the similitude
Of those who reject Our Signs;
So relate the story;
Perchance they may reflect.(7:176)

of Almighty Allah the subsequent elevation comes after
the above verses are acted upon, as actions and deeds
constitute the basis of all spiritual attainment. Allah the
Mighty and the Most Wise speaks about a person who
was physically alive, but psychically dead, in depth of
darkness without Divine Guidance and His light, comes to
life with His Grace, compared to one who will always
remain, in the state of death in life, never to come out.
Can he who was dead, to whom We gave life, and a light

whereby he can walk amongst men, be like him who is in
the depths of darkness, from which he can never come
out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem
pleasing.
This Light is the cause /modus operandi, of all evolving
forms, in consciousness, mind and matter, the individual
unable to perceive, the cause, other then laws of nature,
fails to realize that all the forces in the world, have
joined together, to give form and direction, to this
individual, with the potential to become the best in
Gnosis/Taqwa, provided he or she constantly remembers
the Almighty and undertakes the righteous deeds,
expressed in the length and breadth of Quran and
Sunnah, along with remaining in the company of those, on
whom the blessings of the, Lord of the East and West
are showered.
(Lord), guide us to the right path,
The path of those to whom You have granted blessings,

those who are neither subject to Your anger nor have
gone astray.
.
Every individual man or women has this inherent capacity

for such an experience. Though being on hold as I
mention above could be for any of the following or more
reasons.
1. Shirk
2. Not remembering Allah Almighty constantly.
3. Not practicing the injunctions of the Quran.
4. Not knowing and obeying the difference between
Halal and Haram.
5. Disobedience to parents and the rightfully guided.
6. Lewd practices, including unlawful sex.
7. Devouring and practicing Usury.
8. Backbiting, pride, conceit, self-projection, jealousy,
hatred, grudges.
The hold lifted for reasons ultimately known to God, but

from a human perceptive probably the whole history of an
individual being watched by the Almighty, culminates in
His Grace, after the merger of both the Shariah and the
Taskiyah e Nafs, triggered by intensive reading of
Quran or after an incidence of utter grief, and pain, of
unusual proportions, the weeping and longing after the
departure of a beloved on the earth, transformed into
the love of the Almighty Who sustains every soul after
death. When the Almighty sees the true repentance and
utter helplessness (Ikhlas), in the heart of this
forgotten servant, He replaces the wrong doings with the
best of what he has done.
So that Allah will

Turn off from them
(Even) the worst in their
deeds
And give them their reward
According to the best
Of what they have done.
As the Lord of the World’s interacts every second, with

the activity of every soul, and grant’s glad tidings to
those recipients He pleases.
In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever

portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and
whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are
witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein.
Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of
an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and
not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a
clear record.
Behold! Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear,

nor shall they grieve;
Those who believe and (constantly) guard against evil;-
For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and
in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of
Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity.
A new journey starts accompanied by the Divine Gift of
that self understanding of the Quran on the heart which
purifies all sins, at that moment, starting a new beginning
with the servant praying.
They say): "Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from
the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy
from You. Truly, You are the Bestower."
Though not easy to come and being one of the greatest

mysteries, along with self-understanding of the Quran,
mystic experience as Muhammad Iqbal say’s is as real as
any in the domain of sense-perception, and what William
James alludes to ‘One may say truly, I think, that
personal religious experience has its root and centre in
mystical states of consciousness ….and I think I shall at
least succeed in convincing you of the reality of the
states in question, and of the paramount importance of
their function…. This latter peculiarity connects mystical
states with certain definite phenomena of secondary or
alternative personality, such as prophetic speech,
automatic writing, or the mediumistic trance….Professor
Tyndall, in a letter, recalls Tennyson saying of this
condition: "By God Almighty! there is no delusion in the
matter! It is no nebulous ecstasy, but a state of
transcendent wonder, associated with absolute clearness
of mind." Memoirs of Alfred Tennyson, ii. 473.’
A hadith of the Prophet reflects on 46 different

criterion of Revelation, the only one left being a true
dream by Allah the Most Merciful and the Most Gracious,
and subsequent division of dreams into those generated
by the devil and the conscious/soul/nafs. When a human
starts to observe these subtle
insights/messages/occurrences/changes/visions, brought
into his or her life, by the Grace of Allah (swt), the
knower of both the seen and the unseen. It re-integrates
such a soul with the light of the Almighty, needing
perpetual and constant nourishment through Taqwa.
And when these latter verses ask us to follow only that

knowledge, both in the cosmos and in the unseen which
satisfy the criterion of being verified by that of ears,
eyes and a polished heart.
And pursue not that

Of which thou hast
No knowledge; for
Every act of hearing,
Or of seeing,
Or of (feeling in) the heart
Will be enquired into
(On the day of Reckoning).
An emphasis on the empirical in the domain of the sense

perception and reliance on observation, in accord with the
injunctions of the above verses, although the words
(Hadith) of God are always true, for the explicit use of
its acme creation, whether in Universe/ Earth or Divine
Revelation with Nafs Mutminah/Ulul
Albab/Muttaqi/Momin deriving knowledge from
Ilham/kashf/Wahy/Hadith Allah or Ayaah in nature.
But still challenging to prove otherwise, by creating a
similar verse.
(VeMuhammad)l These Ayaat which We are rehearsing to

thee as Truth are the Signs of God. Then (tell me) in what
more authentic exposition would they believe after the
Words of God and His Signs (deduced from Nature)
Quran (45:1-7).
Accordingly to their need here means each point in
space-time continuum constitutes a continuous recipient
of divine inspiration, changing the inanimate matter, into
human consciousness or a divinely inspired bee each
demanding a separate inspiration. Each ayaat whether in
the divine book of nature or the prophetic revelation, to
the inspiration of a friend (Auylia Allah) all a command
from Allah Almighty. In moments of rarity I have
experienced the following.
1. A light hovering above and the subsequently

electrifying the whole body.
2 A vision ‘Those who follow
Behold! In the creation

Of the heavens and the earth
And the alternation
Of Night and Day
There are indeed Signs
For those of Understanding.
Those who remember God, standing, sitting and lying on
their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens
and the earth (saying): "Our Lord, You have not created
this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from
the punishment of the Fire."
Will attain Salvation from the hell fire (Magfirah), and

following these verses constitute Surat-e-Mustaqeem.’
In an explanation of the above two phenomenon, the first

one is described in devotional Sufism as a security
clearance of the Self, on its way to discovery.
The second pertains to of the mind’s ability to receive

knowledge from different/other levels of consciousness
without having to suspend, the cognitive abilities, hence
the need for
3.
In the way to this discovery or in the journey of seeking
the Ultimate Truth, the seeker finds isolation, unable to
share the moments of this discovery, with the friends
and family, as everyone is given to their own lives and
shortcomings, depending on the psychological makeup of
the seeker and the friends around. It is at this moment
the ability to guide from one step to another, from one
duration to the next, is taken over by the Divine light or
Khayal/Intuition. And the seeker tries to live through
conscious/unconscious effort, as the exegeses of the
Quran, emulating the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam.
At this stage the Divine light automatically starts to
clear the hurdles one step at a time as defined in the
following verses.
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the Day as it appears in glory;

By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female;-
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best,-
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-
sufficient,
And gives the lie to the best,-
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into
the Pit).
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide.
Usually ends up in finding a God appointed guide, a man of

limited material means but extremely rich in
Gnosis/Taqwa. Under who’s guidance, slowly but surely,
this individual undergoes the transmutation of the soul
(Tazkiya) to higher realms defined in the following
verses, beyond Iman to Eqaan to the highest stage of
Ihsan.
Those who have attained to Iman (faith) and do

righteous deeds incur no blame by partaking of whatever
they may have [in the past] so long as they are conscious
of Allah
and have Iman and do righteous deeds, and continue to
being conscious of Allah
and have [true] Iman, and then grow ever more conscious
of Allah and do [ reach the level ] of Ihsan; and Allah
loves those who have attainted to Ihsan. (Al- Mai’dah
5:93).
Here I do not intend to claim, a friendship of Allah the
Al Salam and the Al Momin , which is reserved for those
whom, He blesses with His Grace, only that I wish and
pray for Allah’s friendship. The innate nature of this
experience precludes certain conditions, some of which I
have tried to mention, and explain for the lay men and
women. The email I wrote to Dr Abdul Hakim Murad on
this experience and his reply are included.

Dear Brother Abdul Hakim Murad
Assaalam-o-Elikum
Ramadan Mubarak, I hope you are in the best of health,

God willingly. It is been a while I did not write to you.
Was just trying others, as usual few people seems
interested in this message.
As of late nothing is happening much, one day I was really
depressed, and could not bear to say my prayers. As right
now I do not have a job, and sometimes it wears on me. I
made a covenant with God on 15 Sep 1975, while reciting
the following verses in my prayers, and promised God, I
will Inshallah try my best to propagate it all my life as a
mission.
And the alternation
Of Night and Day

the punishment of the Fire."41.
Without a teacher or a guide I had to face daunting

challenges, but with the Creator being so merciful, I
come again and again and again back to the Quran. One
day as I was relating above that in some moments one
feels to give up as I have written the whole system is set
up which makes salvation very difficult specially to
escape the hell fire . I had a dream, or a message as
follows.
Those who follow the above verses will escape hell fire
and following the above verses means Surat-e-
Mustaqeem.
I have written that in my article on the importance, of

the above verses, as being Surat-e-Mustaqeem in one its
mode.
Recently I wrote to my former boss , and he kindly sent

me his signed photograph, which I have included, with
some other pictures.
The only motive being to make this article more as

struggle of human being in search of Reality.
Kind Regards

Intelligence of the seeker (Salik) has relatively, lesser

importance and meaning, in the spiritual domain, for the
Almighty not being unjust, although those of superior
intelligence, can grasp the intricacies of the esoteric,
easier and quicker is ultimately based on Almighty’s
Divine Grace.
Hazrat Mohammad Iqbal R.A mentions Imam Ghazali R.A.

‘Ghazālī, finding no hope in analytic thought, moved to
mystic experience, and there found an independent
content for religion. In this way he succeeded in securing
for religion the right to exist independently of science
and metaphysics’ a practice still of a multitude in rural
and urban areas, spread across the Islamic world, the
Sub-continent Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and now
spreading across the West, with the message of sages
like Maulana Rumi R.A , many of these have never
ventured outside the teaching of Quran and Sunnah,
having no formal education are in conversation with the
Almighty. Here I would mention Iqbal, Corbin and Ahmed
Afzaal respectively.
As elucidated by Hazrat Mohammad Iqbal R.A,
‘There is no doubt that the treatment of religious

experience, as a source of Divine knowledge, is
historically prior to the treatment of other regions of
human experience for the same purpose. The Qur’an,
recognizing that the empirical attitude is an
indispensable stage in the spiritual life of humanity,
attaches equal importance to all the regions of human
experience as yielding knowledge of the Ultimate Reality
which reveals its symbols both within and without.’
Those who are gifted with these symbols both within and
without by the Ultimate Reality themselves become a
living Ayaat (sign) of God. Reflected in their lives by
their becoming a bridge between the seen and the
unseen. As aptly described in his Persian poetry by Dr
Mohammad Iqbal.
And Corbin ‘In a similar fashion, the philosophers, from

Avicenna to Mulla Sadra, when considering the five
states of the intellect, from the 'material'or potential
intellect to the intellectus sanctus, admit that in the
case of the majority of men the intellect only exists in a
potential state, and that the conditions which would
enable it to become active are present in a small number
of men only. This being so, how could a large number of
men, in the sway of their baser impulses, be in a position
to form themselves into a single community observing the
same law? For al-Biruni, the natural law is the law of the
jungle; the antagonism between human beings can be
overcome only through a divine Law, made known by a
prophet or divine Messenger’.
And again to Ahmed Afzaal reading on the mystical mood.
‘To have a mystical temperament indicates that one’s

primary and preferred method of achieving certainty is
personal experience, as opposed to philosophical
reasoning or acceptance of authoritative
pronouncements.’
Islamic cosmology reaches its zenith when signs in nature

(Afaq) are deeply studied and reflected upon in
conjunction with signs in the Anfus(soul), and the
prophetic revelation the Quran. For where would all the
cosmic unfolding, on this gigantic scale be without the
observer, the highest Maqaam-e- Mehmood reserved for
the one who himself travelled in the night journey Al-
Isra in the presence of the Almighty, His last Prophet
Muhammad ((sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), who read ayaat
both in the universe and Quran, tears overflowing, when
tne ayah 3:190 were revealed and on being asked by Bilal
R.A why when Allah had forgiven him all of his previous
and latter sins he was crying? He replied ‘Should not I be
a devotee most grateful? And that revelations of such
importance had been revealed during the night( among
incessant wars and strife), that unfortunately there will
be those who will read them and would not reflect.

A hope for his followers of becoming an Auliya Allah a
friend of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful,
Who forgives again and again, the true repentance of his
servants. The servant in turn wakes up in the middle of
the night, and discerns the following verses
Is one who is obedient to Allah, prostrating himself or

standing (in prayer) during the hours of the night, fearing
the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord (like
one who disbelieves)? Say: "Are those who know equal to
those who know not?" It is only men and women of
understanding who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from
Allah's Signs and Verses).
In the final analyses due to the extreme personal nature

of the inner experience, it can only be understood and
appreciated by those who are given glad tidings by Allah
Subhanu-tala first hand, the Prophets’, Martyr’s, and the
friends of God the Auliya/Mutaqeen/Momineen/Ulul
Albab/Alamoon etc, not as hearsay differentiating, the
misgivings of those, who do not understand and consider
it as heresy.
REVERANCE FOR ALL PROPHETS
The similitude of Jesus

Before Allah is that of Adam;
He created him from dust,
Then said to him: “Be”:
And he was.21
One day will Allah
Gather the Messengers together,
And ask: “What was
The response you received
(From men to your teaching)?”
They will say: “We
Have no knowledge: it is Thou
Who knowest in full
All that is hidden.
Then will Allah say:

“O Jesus the son of Mary!
Recount My favour
To thee and to thy mother.
Behold! I strengthened thee
With the holy spirit,
So that thou didst speak
To the people in infancy
And in maturity.
Behold! I taught thee
The Book and Wisdom,
The Law and the Gospel.
And behold! thou didst make
Out of clay. the figure of a bird,
By my leave, And thou didst breath into it,
And it becometh a bird
By my leave,
And thou didst heal those
Born blind, and the lepers,
By my leave.
And behold! thou didst
Bring forth the dead
By my leave.
And behold! I did
Restrain the Children of Israel
From (violence to thee)
When thou didst show them
The clear Signs,
And the unbelievers among them
Said: “ This is nothing
But evident magic.22
Any attempt to resolve this dichotomy between science
and reason on the one hand, and theology or Deen ( way
of life) as the Quran calls it, is first to resolve the
dichotomy between the Prophets, and the differences
there followers preach. No man or women, or any
creature of His, can deny me His love and mercy. So can
no one deny me the love of his Prophets, on a personal
note, we revere our fathers, but our mothers, we all love,
when my mother passed away, I was devastated, only the
love of God, and the love of His Prophet Jesus (May
Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), saved me. When
I read the verses mentioned above. Who feels more
devastated then the true parents when they see in their
children, affinities and a belonging for other then God.
When I turned 40, she reminded me how Prophet
Mohammad (May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)
received his calling at this age.
Globalization instead of becoming a force for good in the

comity of nations is being dragged and preceded on its
one track mindset towards a fatal hedonistic and
autocratic capitalism, a paradise gained is a paradise lost,
as Dr Iqbal laments, ‘In our daily social intercourse we
live and move in seclusion, as it were. We do not care
to reach the inmost individuality of men. We treat
them as mere functions, and approach them from
those aspects of their identity which are capable of
conceptual treatment. The climax of religious life,
however, is the discovery of the ego as an individual
deeper than his conceptually describable habitual self-
hood”.
Any breakthrough requires each of us to write one’s own

experiences, to open a dialogue within, in the silence of
the night or in a journey into the wilderness. This is a
journey each one of us needs to travel within and without
in finding who we are where we came from and where we
are going. Those who are dazzled by a Prophet of
materialism in Lee Kuan, must seek a Confucius.
Captivated by the brilliant diagnosis in treating the
malaise affecting the Islamic nations by a Dr Mahathir
also requires us to embark in the life and times of the
likes of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, as progress
becomes synonymous with spirit. When he writes,
Quran guides us in the following verses to seek lively

hood being an essential part of existence, but warns of
an after life besides trade and industry, verse 13:26.
Allah enlarges livelihood for whom He will, and straitened

(it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the
world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort
as compared with the Hereafter.
This is the right moment when the entire world is coming

together due to the advent of the global media and the
internet, youtube has given us access to lectures by
world’s foremost authority on every subject, we are
moving from an unbalanced Globalization to a need for
deeper relationship and understanding of the other. A
need away from the modern jet fighter and the suicide
bomber. In this quest Dr Iqbal again observes ‘The
technique of medieval mysticism by which religious life, in
its higher manifestations, developed itself both in the
East and in the West has now practically failed’ and again
‘Broadly speaking religious life may be divided into three
periods. These may be described as the periods of
“Faith”, “Thought”, and “Discovery.” In the first period
religious life appears as a form of discipline which the
individual or a whole people must accept as an
unconditional command without any rational
understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of
that command. This attitude may be of great
consequence in the social and political history of a people,
but is not of much consequence in so far as the
individual’s inner growth and expansion are concerned.
Perfect submission to discipline is followed by a rational
understanding of the discipline and the ultimate source
of its authority. In this period religious life seeks its
foundation in a kind of metaphysics– a logically consistent
view of the world with God as a part of that view. In the
third period metaphysics is displaced by psychology, and
religious life develops the ambition to come into direct
contact with the Ultimate Reality. It is here that religion
becomes a matter of personal assimilation of life and
power; and the individual achieves a free personality, not
by releasing himself from the fetters of the law, but by
discovering the ultimate source of the law within the
depths of his own consciousness. As in the words of a
Muslim Sufi– “no understanding of the Holy Book is
possible until it is actually revealed to the believer just
as it was revealed to the Prophet.”
Also described vividly by William James ‘There are two

lives, the natural and the spiritual, and we must lose the
one before we can participate in the other’.
The traveler in this journey experiences inner and outer

storms, of unparallel nature I may mention the life and
times from that of the Prophet to the present have
never been conducive to this search. It is only building
the Self by means of the Quran and Sunnah, that one can
weather the storms. Beginning as a child in
transformation to adulthood (Haywaan Natiq the talking
animal) having excessive pride, greed, selfishness, weak
by nature, needs the protection of the Almighty.
I would like to start with a quote from Carl Sagan(in a

thousand years Muslims will have done their own
reflection to a supreme degree in the divine book of
nature not having to depend on outside authenticity Be
Iznillah) and continue with my thesis on
1. How religions constitute messages from a non

human source, totally Independent and Infinite in
power. The first step consists in establishing a
direct relation with Allah Almighty.
2.
And any efforts to find signals from other
civilizations constitute, a genuine endeavor in
Allah Almighty’s book of nature, guided by His
book of revelation the Quran.
"A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of

the universe as revealed by modern science might be able
to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly
tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a
religion will emerge.23

The first messages we ponder into are from the Quran as

signs to be reflected upon.
REVELATIONS FROM DIVINE BOOK OF NATURE.

This Al-Kitab has been revealed to man by
God. Exalted in Power and Full of Knowledge.
This is a settled thing that for those who have faith

there are (thousands of) directives (and guidelines) in
the heavens and on the earth.
.
And (Ve people!) In the creation of yourselves and
whatever God does to spread animals (throughout the
earth) are Signs for a people which believes (in the
truth of the Universe). (Reflect on the word Ayaat
which is being repeatedly used).
And (Ve people!). In the alternation of day and night

and whatever sustenance (that is water) God sent
down from the sky and then with that water gave life
to the earth that had died, and in the change of the
winds from one side to the other, are (hundreds of)
Signs (directives) for a people which possesses wisdom
(Ve Muhammad)l These Ayaat which We are rehearsing
to thee as Truth are the Signs of God. Then (tell me)
in what more authentic exposition would they believe
after the Words of God and His Signs (deduced from
Nature). 24 Quran (45:1-7).
The following is a commentary on the above messages by

distinguished scholar and scientist Inayat ullah khan.
Sura Jathiyaa (45). This sura is being reproduced along

with its coherent and irrefutable translation. In the text
of the Sura has repeatedly occurred the extremely
significant word "Ayaat". This word has been normally
used for the Quranic verses (that is, sentences),
However it appears from this Sura that apart from using
this word for its verses. 1 The Quran, for the first time
has employed. the word Ayaat for knowledge which
accrues from the study of things and phenomena of
Nature. 2 The second important conclusion evident from
the study of this Sura is that for the first time after
the previous 71 Suras has it been emphasised that these
Ayaat are the Signs of God. A believing. wise people
which possesses comprehension and power of reflection
must find out these Ayaat from the Book of Nature by
intensive research and investigation; it should take them
as reality, act upon them and apart from them, should not
believe in anything else. 3 The third immense disclosure
is that whatever God has created in the heavens and on
or in the earth lies conquered for man so that he takes
their control and brings them to his use. In, other word,
this entire Universe, extending over billions of miles,
constitutes man's field of action. 4 The fourth
astonishing and, of course encouraging declaration is that
Nature is the only truth in the world and God has created
the Universe with the purpose of giving things that exist
in it to man as reward for his struggle arid efforts which
he makes to know and conquer them…..
Is there any of the foremost Scientists and Knower’s of

Nature from the world's most enlightened and dominant
nation who, after becoming aware of this standard, would
not bow before the Quran and deny its being the
greatest and the last Book?.” 25
Here is the ultimate evidence and proof of the Continuity

of Divine Revelations, Allah”s words or Hadith’s and His
Ayaats in the realm and domain of NATURE, as signs for
men and women of understanding ( ‫ ) ْاْل َ ْل َبابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬,
complementing the Last Book the Quran in its original and
complete form, as revealed on the last Prophet
Mohammad (Pbuh). Its imperative on all Modern day
Islamic scholars, Alamoon(scientists, engineers, doctors,
psychologists, astrobiologists, astrophysicists,
biochemical theology or spiritual psychologist, and any
new disciplines arising from the Cosmos to Collect all
such research work, derived in individual capacities or
through collective efforts, microfilming and storing it in
the nearest Darul Ulloms, Darul Hikmets and Islamic
Universities being part of the Adjacent Mosque. Muslim
men and women of understanding ‫ ْاْل َ ْل َبابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬who
reflect, ponder, creating new Ilm ( Knowledge) in the
process based on these messages or ayaats clearly
engage in scientific work in there laboratories, are called
the Servant’s of Allah’s (swt).
As the following Quranic sura elaborates.
Here an astrophysicist and astronomer, is challenged to

ponder at the Sky.
Do they not look

At the sky above them?
How We have made it
And adorned it,
And there are no
Flaws in it?
The night sky is full of stars, distant suns of distant

civilizations, in distant Galaxies, full of life in which Gods
commands "al-amr" descends.
Below Geologists and Botanists are invited to reflect in
their own domains of studies in the creation of the earth
and mountains, and the growth of plants and vegetables
in pairs.
And the earth

We have spread it out,
And set thereon mountains
Standing firm, and produced
Therein every kind of
Beautiful growth in Pairs.(male and female).
Here God calls all those who observe, ponder, and reflect
in the creation of the heavens and earth, mountains and
vegetation as his Servants in the act of remembering
Him. After the insight they receive from His revelations
in Nature.
To be observed
And commemorated
By every Servant
Turning (to Allah).
And we send down

From the sky Rain
Charged with blessing
And we produce therewith
Gardens and Grain for harvests;
And tall (and stately)

Palm trees, with shoots
Of fruit stalks, piled
One over another
As sustenance for
(Allah’s) Servants
And we give (new) life
Therewith to land that is
Dead: thus will be
The Resurrection. 26
A cyclical movement, a perpetual cycle of Purpose in life,

all creation in the Divine book of nature helping humans
develop into an advanced civilization, with Allah’s
sustenance engraving continual life cycles, of birth and
death. Sweet water from the sky, produce of every kind
from the earth, sustaining a species able to ponder the
astrophysics of the sky, the geology of the mountains,
the botany and zoology of its flora and fauna.
This Purpose in life is the least attention given to in this

age of excesses. As the following verses explain that
this sustenance also brings a message, of humility as and
when humans feel most invincible there comes out of
nowhere a calamity of unprecedented proportions. Which
the Almighty mentions as His command by day or night.
Verily the likeness of (this) worldly life is as the water
(rain) which We send down from the sky, so by it arises
the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and
cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its
adornments and is beautified, and its people think that
they have all the powers of disposal over it, Our
Command reaches it by night or by day and We make it
like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished
yesterday! Thus do We explain the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, laws, etc.) in
detail for the people who reflect.

And the use of the word reflection in the above verse

clearly indicates a divine duty for the whole Islamic
nation, a word which has been relegated, by the
obscurantist preacher, devoid of the essence of Quran,
on one hand, and marginalized by the positivist,
postmodern fellow in the post-colonial secular university.
A deconstruction of Macaulay’s intrigue and educational

system can only be achieved if we are able to construct a
true Islamic welfare society, offering a balanced
economic system, quality of life then the west has to
offer. For consumerism based democracy breeds,
corruption, serving only the interest of the elite at home
and there imperial masters abroad.
THE DIVINE MANIFESTO
There are certain verses in the Quran, which have a very

clear, concise, meaning like stars and planets in the night
sky, seen with unaided eyes. There are others, which can
only be understood by deep reflection.
The parable of those who

Take protectors other than Allah
Is that of the Spider,
Who builds (to itself)
A house; but truly
The flimsiest of houses
Is the Spider’s house—
If they but knew.
Quran (29:41).27
Spider web is the flimsiest of creation, easily damaged

by the elements in nature. So is the life of a soul
unattended by God’s grace, mercy, and knowledge. The
chaos in society and in one’s own life, evil of men and
women, fear of poverty and of the unknown, promoting
psychiatric illnesses. Human personalities vary in degree
from the simple, gullible, weak, less endowed, easily
susceptible to suggestions from other than God, to
gifted and genetically strong. An inbuilt, strength and
simplicity acquired, within the heart. “Nay, here are
Signs self-evident in the hearts of those endowed with
knowledge: and none but the unjust reject Our Signs”, 28 in moments of
reflective silence, with prayer, patience, and remembrance. Guidance not
limited to the Quran.
Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable),
and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of
righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward; 29.
But Sunnah, of the life and teachings of the Prophets

from Adam (Pbuh), to Abraham (Pbuh), all intervening
prophets to Moses (Pbuh), Jesus (Pbuh) to holy prophet
Mohammad (Pbuh). Alluding back to the thought
mentioned above, that Allah (swt) not only, keeps record
of an individual from its birth, life history, death to
resurrection both in the earth and universe, exactly
numbered. So does the history of nations, or more aptly
the monotheistic religions, from their inception, their
doings, their life cycles of growth and decay till the day
of resurrection, are monitored and recorded. The Quran
mentions the nation of Israel, to be given the status of
most favored nation. Then they became arrogant.
He did Aforetime
Grant to the Children
Of Israel the Book,
The Power of Command,
And Prophet Hood; We gave
Them for sustenance, things
Good and pure; and We
Favoured them above the nations.30
And We gave (clear) warning
To the children of Israel
In the Book, that twice
Would they do mischief
On the earth and be elated
With mighty arrogance
(and twice would they be punished)!31.
Timorously accepting the dictates of law for so long,

having fought the Roman legions on the summit of
Masada, a heavy veil of arrogance and jealous, self
delusion regarding their worldly grandeur and
scholarship derived from the wisdom of the revelation,
overtook them, like a dark and creeping evil in the depth
of night, over several millennia, many of their mentalities
became all knowing, and all powerful. The host nations
fell for their charm and wealthy insinuations. Inviting
the wrath of God, only to recover realizing their error
and repenting.
The definition according to God of those nations called

strong is their being righteous in deeds and not just in
words only. A spider web appears as a weak structure,
but its inherent strength has only recently been realized
by modern science. As for the individual who develops
two kinds of knowledge. One derived from the inner self
(Anfus).
We shall show them Our signs

In the horizons and in themselves,
Till it is clear to them that it is the truth.
Suffices it not as to thy Lord,
That He is witness over everything?41-53
And becoming a friend of Allah (swt) the only goal of
one’s earthly existence.
And you are not (engaged) in any affair, nor do you

recite concerning it any portion of the Quran, nor do
you do any work but We are witnesses over you when you
enter into it, and there does not lie concealed from your
Lord the weight of an atom in the earth or in the heaven,
nor any thing less than that nor greater, but it is in a
clear book.
No doubt! Verily, the Auliya' of Allah [i.e. those who
believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much
(abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which he has
forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of
good deeds which He has ordained)], no fear shall come
upon them nor shall they grieve, -
Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane

describes Aulia [ i.e friends, and the like].
It is a great misconception in the hearts and minds of

most Muslims that only a select elite can attain that
status, Allah (swt) elevates any man or women, a plebeian
no matter what ever worldly status he or she might have
as long as he or she forms a direct communications with
Lord of the Worlds through prayers, taqwa, reading the
Quran and Sunnah of the last Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh)
with a goal to understand and reflect, ultimately
absorbing into the colors of Allah (swt). What are the
colors of Allah (swt) , the divine names, which a human
being can absorb into due to his or her being recipient of
the divine Ruh. That is the supreme bliss and victory
both here and the hereafter.
(We take our) colour from Allah, and who is better than
Allah at colouring. We are His worshippers.32
This journey starts with remembering the names of

Allah the Compassionate the Merciful while standing,
sitting or lying down.
Allah the Sovereign free from Blemishes is alive He can
hear and see. He reciprocates and responds to the
prayers of His servants. The signs of Allah the giver of
Peace are manifested in the outer and inner domains of
the self of every individual man or women.
On this journey Quran remarks:
It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and

the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all
religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).33
O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will
save you from a grievous Penalty?-34
That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye

strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your
property and your persons: That will be best for you, if
ye but knew!35
He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens

beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in
Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme
Achievement.36
The following verse remark.
O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! Be

mindful of God and put faith in His Messenger. And He
will bestow on you a double reward of His grace. He will
appoint for you a light by which you shall walk, and He
will absolve your faults. God is Forgiving Merciful.37
And the other being knowledge, acquired through

science, and sense perception explained by Quran as
outer Āfāq (world). God does not regard humans as
worthless creatures existing without a purpose, but
having a Divine manifesto.
When a Muslim wakes up before dawn, and recites the

first pillar of Islam, ašhadu an lā ilāha illá l-Lāhu (wa
ashhadu 'anna) Muḥammadan rasūlu l-Lāhi " there is
no god except ALLAH and Muhammad is the
Messenger of ALLAH. Then he or she, enters into
eternity, turning to strength of pure steel, like the silk
fiber of a, spider when treated by knowledge.
Darwin bark spider has the toughest silk, twice as any
other spider silk and tougher than either steel, ten times
tougher than Kevlar. Man made spider silk is stronger
than, carbon fiber, Kevlar stronger than steel. Research
is in progress, to use, genetically altered, transgenic
goat/spider silk and silkworms to produce, arresting
cables used in aircraft carriers, artificial ligaments,
tendons and bones, manufacturing parachute cables.
Ultra strength fabric for different applications, like
bullet proof vests. Surgical stitches, skin graft for burn
patients etc.
The inherent strength and toughness, both in nature and

humans is squandered by the whims of the mighty, in the
survival of existence of men and empires, unbalancing the
world ecosystems. Unleashing unbridled forces on the
lands of the weak and unprotected by the weapons of
death and destruction. An individual or whole community,
who build their affairs, on the likeness of a spider web,
without God as their supreme priority are prone to perish
sooner or later.
Verily Allah doth know
Of (everything) whatever
That they call upon
Besides Him: and He is
Exalted (in power), Wise.38
And only Al Alamoon (men and women of knowledge)

who use Tafakkur(thinking), Aql(intellect), Tadabbur
(contemplation) to comprehend their meanings
emphasized here as obtained from the Divine book of
nature, and the Divine book of revelation the Quran.
When explaining verses one should clearly differentiate
between those showing a clear pattern of the use of
words like understanding, knowledge and reason as being
derived from the Divine book of nature. It is imperative
to separate the knowledge of the Ruh(soul) from
knowledge derived from sense perception.
And such are the Parables

We set forth for mankind,
But only those understand them
Who have knowledge.39?
A perfect balance is achieved when a Muslim learns to

recognize signs both within the Divine book of nature,
through reflection and practicing piety and achieving
God consciousness through the Divine book of revelation.

direction, not as a means of self-aggrandizement, but a
study in the psychology of a seeker of truth, the
difficulties ensued in this way, with an ultimate objective
of sharing, this knowledge and guiding the next seeker.
Having studied Quran in Arabic, at an early age, I was
totally ignorant of the Ilm, or Knowledge of the Quran,
until at the Punjab University at Lahore, in 1972 age 18,
while studying for B.sc Honors in Physics I stumbled on a
banner about Tazkirah of Allama Mashriqi R.A. An
exegesis on Higher Religions. I would go on to publish my
M.S Thesis “On Angular Distribution of Fission
Fragments using surface barrier detector”, at
Government College University Lahore., Pakistan Center
for Advance Studies in Physics.

And writing the following Ayaat on the first page of my
thesis.

as demonstrator physics laboratory 1979.
Later working as a health physicist. and a nuclear
physicist at the DR AQ KHAN research laboratories for
the next 15 years 7th Feb 1980- July 1995, studying
nuclear physics at advanced levels, using in the process
instruments, like ultra-centrifuges rotating near a 1050
cycles/ second, vacuum pumps, quadrupole mass
spectrometers, radiation detectors, high speed
oscilloscopes, being inquisitive, worked and moved in
different departments of the project.
As I mention above this article is meant not to be

autobiographical, but a guide for fellow seeker of truth,
especially the modern Muslim youth. We hardly have any
access to our unconsciousness mind, which practically
runs our lives, with or without our knowing. At times, it
seems very hard to tread this path, as perfect harmony
and balance is found in a few, and there is always a
serious danger being swayed by an apparently competing,
logical thought, specially the western model of liberty,
freedom, equality, honesty, truthfulness, cleanliness,
economic independence, hard work, respect for the
privacy of the individual, belief in the judicial system,
for those living in their domains. Though recent
international events have eroded some of these values,
and paranoia seems to have set in. But it is still amazing
that the rule of law prevails, for those who profess
different faiths. As one can find a synagogue, a church,
and a mosque next to each other, without the sectarian
violence seen in Muslim lands. This is invariably built in
the psyche of the beholder, whether it is the
intelligentsia or the masses. How ever barring a few,
most Muslim countries, are struggling to find a place in
the community of nations, where rampant corruption,
egotistical executives and the Latin-Americanization of
institutions have created proxies, resulting in movements
like the Arab spring. Fortunately Turkey with its brilliant
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is turning into a
progressive, economically viable, modern Muslim state.
Democratic nation of Malaysia with its former Prime
Minister Mahathir Mohammad is an archetype role
model, propagating wisdom and knowledge in the Islamic
world, re-defining and suggesting treatments for the
root causes and malaise affecting the Ummah.
Western imperialism, seeking global hegemony carving

out new spheres of influences is invariably taking
advantage of this tragic divide. Mind full of being a
Muslim scientist, became a part in arranging “The Holy
Quran and 21st century” conference in Islamabad at the
Pakistan Science Foundation in 1991. Organized under
the Holy Quran Research Foundation a non-profit
organization dedicated to the cause of Islam, under the
guidance of great Muslim mystic, electrical engineer and
nuclear scientist, Sultan Bashir ud din Mehmood.
Sultan Bashir ud din Mehmood
Contribution of Sultan Bashir ud din Mehmood to Nuclear

Programme.
“I have been associated with Pakistan’s nuclear

programme and the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission
since 1963 and therefore I have firsthand knowledge of
the various phases of the country’s nuclear quest.
However the sensitive nature of the subject requires
that we should be very careful while talking about it. This
is what the (late) Chairman PAEC Mr. Munir Ahmad Khan
impressed upon all his team members. If some self
glorified scientists / engineers have succeed to reduce
his image to the status of a villain, it is due to his
modesty and not advertising his achievements in his
lifetime. By awarding the posthumous Nishan-i-Imtiaz
thirteen years after his death, the President has done no
favour to him but has only corrected a wrong.
Soon after India’s 1974 test, PAEC decided to adopt
centrifuge technology for uranium enrichment and I was
tasked by Mr. Munir Ahmad Khan to prepare a feasibility
on the basis of comparative studies of different
enrichment technologies. Previous to this assignment, I
was commissioning engineer and incharge of
troubleshooting during the commissioning phases of
KANUPP. Before that, I had worked at Risley Design
Centre with the UK Atomic Energy Authority who had
applied two patents in my name, and published eleven
technical reports in one year—a rare honour for any
nuclear engineer.
The Enrichment Project, commonly known as the Kahuta
Project or KRL was also started by PAEC in October 1974
with myself as its Director. I handed over charge of the
project after 33 months on July 17, 1976 to Dr. A Q
Khan. By then, we had completed the designs for the
centrifuge machine and the process plant in the shabby
Second World War Army Barracks near Chaklala airport,
known as the Airport Development Workshop. We had
deliberately left parts of the outer side of ADW
unfurnished to maintain secrecy while the inner parts
were furnished as per our needs. It was our deliberate
policy to give priority to procurements of essential
materials and equipment, build manpower and an
indigenous base and not waste time on expensive buildings
and cars in the initial years.
We had also managed to procure most of the short term
and long term requirements of machinery and materials
for the first phase of the project as per our original plan.
Dr A Q Khan joined the project in early 1976 as Director
Research. Prior to this, he was working for us in
Amsterdam, Holland. The PAEC team had begun work on
local development of a high-speed motor for the
centrifuge and the aluminium centrifuge base.
We also started indigenous development of high
frequency generators and bellows using explosive forming
techniques. By July 1976, we had installed and
commissioned the centrifuge rotor manufacturing
machines, electron beam-welding machine, high strength
magnet charging machines, and initiated work on high
speed bearings, grooving and welding technologies.
These are few examples only. We had procured large
quantities of high strength aluminium and maraging steel
for manufacturing centrifuge rotors and other
components for centrifuge machines. The team of
dedicated scientists and engineers who made the project
a success in the initial years and came from PAEC, among
them Dr G D Alam, Anwar Ali, Ijaz Khokhar, Dr Javed
Mirza, Brig. Abdus Salam (EME), Col Rashid Ali (EME) and
many more illustrious names. Many of them later rose to
important positions in KRL under Dr. A Q Khan.
By the time the project was separated from PAEC, it was
on its way to produce weapon-grade enriched uranium by
1980. However, once the project was separated from
PAEC, this target was met several years later and at
many times the estimated budget. However, I do not wish
to undermine A Q Khan’s contribution in taking the
project forward from where we left in 1976.
Dr. A Q Khan succeeded me as head of the Kahuta
project on July 17, 1976. He accused me of procuring
sub-standard maraging steel and I was later exonerated
of this charge. I handed over charge of the project to A
Q Khan in the presence of Mr. Agha Shahi and Munir
Ahmad Khan the same day. I was the transferred back to
PAEC and was assigned the job to extend its capacity of
the uranium mining and refining project
Meanwhile, Munir Ahmad Khan had launched over 20
laboratories and projects in the nuclear programme from
1972-1991, each one essential to acquire nuclear
capability. Some of them are the uranium mining, refining,
uranium oxide and hexafluoride UF6 production plants
(the feedstock for KRL).
On the plutonium side, it was Munir Khan’s vision to
develop plutonium capability for Pakistan and I was
assigned the task of designing and building the 50 MW
Khushab-1 Nuclear Reactor and metal fuel manufacturing
project indigenously for producing plutonium in 1986. The
Khushab reactor project was completed within ten years
using Pakistani manpower, materials and know-how most
economically. Based on this success and the team, which
we trained in PAEC, Pakistan has now expanded this
capability by building similar reactors at Khushab.
It was again PAEC which carried out several cold tests of
different nuclear weapon designs under the leadership of
Munir Ahmad Khan. These tests were conducted by Dr.
Samar Mubarakmand and Mr. Muhammad Hafeez
Qureshi. The first cold test of a working nuclear device
was carried out on March 11, 1983 at Kirana Hills and
President Zia was informed of the results by Munir Khan
the same evening. Subsequently, 24 more cold tests were
conducted by PAEC between 1983 and the early 1990s.
The second cold test in 1983 was witnessed by Mr.
Ghulam Ishaq Khan, General K. M. Arif (Vice Chief of
Army Staff) and Munir Ahmad Khan.
In addition Munir Khan also established the Nuclear Fuel
Fabrication Complex, Kundian; New Laboratories
Reprocessing Plant, PINSTECH; Chaghi, Kharan and
Kirana Hills nuclear test sites; and laid the foundation for
the 300 MW Chashma-1 Nuclear Power Plant. The Centre
for Nuclear Studies (now a University PIEAS) which has
produced indigenous trained manpower for Pakistan’s
nuclear programme was also his achievement. He also
built several nuclear agriculture, biotechnology and
medical centers across the country. Besides, Pakistan’s
first gamma sterilization plant for sterilization of
medical products was built in Lahore under my supervision
which is still serving the nation. These facts can be
verified from Dr. Samar Mubarakmand.
Pakistan became a nuclear power due to the dedicated
efforts of a large team of scientists, engineers and
technicians who participated in this sacred endeavour for
several decades. The nuclear programme enjoyed
complete support of the people, the armed forces and
the politicians. There is no single hero of this success
story. It has been a great national effort and if credit
goes to anybody it goes to the people of Pakistan who
sacrificed so much in the shape of sanctions for the
success of the programme. Let’s not fight for mundane
rewards and belittle each others efforts. If some energy
is still left in us, it should be spent only in the service of
Pakistan—our Pakistan.

never bring the courage to speak with you candidly.
When my parents met you in Ikram saheb, home and as we left , I

shook your hands, and had a private moment to talk to you. But
still could not explain my desire to bring Islam and Science in
KRL. You have already written history, its a chance to complete it
, inshaAllah by including the concept of Ulul Albaab in your school

Dear Dr Sahib,
Assalam-o-Elikum
Thank you very much for replying. It is indeed a great honor to

receive your signed photograph, which I have included in my
article. Although I am taking liberty here. Have one last request
from your very valuable time. If its easily possible to write a
small preface to my article or if not can you write a brief
commentary on the following ayat.

And the alternation
Of Night and Day
Those who remember God, standing, sitting and lying on their

sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth
(saying): "Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory
be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire. (3-
190).
May Allah bless you

Kind Regards,
Imran.
As humans given to ingratitude I would like to take this

opportunity to thank you from the, sincerity of my heart for what
you did for me not once but all the times. I remember when
coming back from US after you had given me leave, I over stayed
and did not have a job, you hired me again. At my second
interview for new inductees in 1985, the first one being 1980, I
was very upset to lose all my allowances, and start fresh, but you
very kindly promised me to work for some time and remove this
blot. And extremely graciously restored all my benefit.

Engineer Salim Mehmud , Former Chairman Pakistan
Space and Upper Atmospheric Research Commission.
Dr Salim Mehmud efforts for the Islamic Space
Programme, as described in his own words in the following
personal communication:-
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your reply. Sir, I am trying to write an

essay on Islam and Science, and would appreciate, if you
could kindly, write a few lines, on your efforts, in the
Space program.
I did meet you once, briefly at Bashir saheb house in F-8,
Islamabad when you had come to meet him. I was helping
him organize the conference on ‘ Noble Quran and 21st
century’. In which you also read a very thought provoking
article, on how we are made of star stuff.Being enriched
in the core’s of stars.
Sincerely yours,
Imran.

Salim Mehmud
My dear Mohammad Khan,
Our space programme was established as far back as

!961. The launching of Rehbar sounding rocket series
commenced on 7 June 1962. I have been associated with
SUPARCO from the very start and have seen all echelons
of the department rising to the position of its Executive
Director on 1st January 1976, and then as Chief
Executive on 15 December 1980 and later in 1981 taking
over as the first Chairman of newly elevated Pakistan
Space and Upper Atmosphere Commission (SUPARCO).
In the long final standing of about 9 years as its

Chairman, a large number of important projects were
implemented. Noteworthy among these are: The
establishment of Lahore Campus of Space Applications
Center (SPARC) next to Punjab University (in fact the
land is owned by the University), Establishment of the
Islamabad Campus at Rawat (Islamabad) where the
Ground Receiving Station for reception of Satellite
Remotely Sensed Imagery was established and ground
work for the Aerospace Institute done. Today, it is a
sprawling campus of Institute of Space Technology.
Another milestone was the construction of SUPARCO's
own Secretariat building at the University Road Karachi
Campus for providing office space to its management
staff including the Chairman. The list of projects goes on
but I will stop here for the sake of brevity and due to
time constraint.
With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
Salim Mehmud

close to Islamabad international airport; I joined on the
7th of Feb, 1980, after being interviewed by Dr A.Q. Khan
Project Director who advised of the scale of the project
as at variant from the university or college level in both
the impact and finances involved, after reporting to my
director Mr Mansoor Ahmed, who earlier had worked for
the Pakistan atomic energy commission, as Principal
Scientific officer, having done his double masters from
Government College University center for advanced
studies in physics Lahore Pakistan, and later in Radiation
Physics at Rochester University in New York. We met
briefly in his office called the Pindi office. He was glad
we had been to the same Alma mater. My choice of the
study of physics was purely a leap in the dark, when
ultimately or much later it turned out to be a stepping
stone to metaphysics. When Allama Mohammad Iqbal
mentions in his chapter “Is Religion Possible” he simply
means a journey of a seeker of truth, reaching the
Center through various paths, from a denier of Truth
(La) there is no Truth, to studying all the philosophies
and sciences, ultimately, the science of Sufism, or
inner/mystical experience. Having joined when the
project had moved from the dilipated barracks of World
War 2, off the Chaklala airport, Rawalpindi and pilot
project at Sihala, to the industrial complex at Kahuta,
called Engineering Research Laboratories. On the first
day in our directors car, we rolled on the winding road,
among the foothills of Himalayas to a
beautifull thousands ofsprawling acres of state of the
art modern laboratories, building the ultimate weapons,
spent the next fifteen years on the very same road,
spending many a nights as a shift incharge in the rank of
scientific and later senior scientific officer. Reminds me
of the Manhattan Project seeing their Youtube pictures.
Though left fifteen years later 1995 to Florida. Missing
the completion in 1998.
CREATIVE CO-WORKER IN THE CREATIVE

ACTIVITY OF GOD
God is no more an archivist unfolding an infinite sequence
he had designed once and forever. He continues the
labour of creation throughout time…..Ilya Progogine.42
Spiral Galaxy NGC 1309.

The creation of order out of chaos is one of the greatest
mysteries bounding on the seen and unseen, in the realm
of physics and meta-physics unfolding in the arrow of
TIME. Quantum processes are interconnecting, operating
at levels of the string, characterized by various quantum
numbers, such as n the principal quantum number, L
orbital quantum numbers, M(L) magnetic quantum
numbers, M(S) spin quantum numbers. Vibrational modes
of the string are like the harmonics or notes of a violin,
each note playing out a different sub atomic particle,
with characteristic spin, mass, etc. Characterized by
what Freeman Dyson (belonging to a rare class of western
scientist including Isaac Newton, whom having a concrete
grasp of the ultimate reality, to Alfred Wallace Russell,
Freeman Dyson a partial glimpse in context of liturgical
theology and modern Analytical Thomism), postulating
three levels of mind, having, a free will to choose, first at
the subatomic level, like a uranium atom, decaying
randomly, secondly to the mind of men and women, acted
upon by quantum processes capable of making existential
choices, finally to the universal mind. Is Free will a
psychological phenomenon, within the arrow of time,
unable to reconcile, with Einstein’s equations of time.
Equations predicting no past, present or future, to a free
will in serial (psychological) time unidirectional in nature.
Are the choices men and women make, good or bad
relative to the frames of references. A universal
conscious rolling out the dice, a global wave function,
accompanied with manifold relations and histories.
These assertions of quantum physics in the realm and

domain of metaphysics do tender to scientism and
speculation, and at times appear apologetic but a verse
from the Quran speak of Allah (swt) encompassing the
heavens and the earth with His knowledge ILM.. And the
verses in the Divine book of nature as His words.
It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the
earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among
them so you may know that Allah is over all things
competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in
knowledge.
And (Ve people!). In the alternation of day and night and

whatever sustenance (that is water) God sent down from
the sky and then with that water gave life to the earth
that had died, and in the change of the winds from one
side to the other, are (hundreds of) Signs (directives)
for a people which possesses wisdom
(Ve Muhammad)l These Ayaat which We are rehearsing to
Words of God and His Signs (deduced from Nature). 24
Quran (45:1-7).
Here whole communities of those who reflect and ponder
on the Signs in nature are called people of wisdom and
intellect. And that Allah(swt) has encompassed all things
in knowledge.
As to the nature of this Divine ILM, Quran is the best

guide, with the verses.
And pursue not that

Of which thou hast
No knowledge; for
Or of seeing,
Knowledge is to be gained by using; the senses acquired
by humans through natural selection or more aptly
directed evolution. Anything not verifiable by these
faculties or the modern day instruments an extension of
these senses, in the realm of the unseen, does not
constitute Knowledge. With the exception of God, his
angels, the knowledge of ‘Nafs’ Arabic for soul, Ruh and
what He hides from His creation. Here it may be argued
that knowledge of the Divine is unlimited and of its
creation limited. In the following verse again Allah(swt)
speaks about the inquiry in to His being, with knowledge
ILM.

things in the heavens and on earth, and has made his
bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, (both) seen
and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute
about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and
without a Book to enlighten them!
The word “science” which has lead to a schism, in

thought is a recent phenomenon, this study and practice
was always acquainted with and, as being essentially
encompassed by the laws from the Divine book of nature,
where everything stemmed from, sense perception for
God calls “Hearing” “Sight” and Intellect as His gifts
enlightened by Divine guidance and books of revelation.
The subtle insight here is the ability to recognize, the
manifestation of facts termed as “as scientific” in the
Quran, were present in the earlier texts, though not fully
elaborated to a degree and precision. Newton held to
these views but has not been given his due, due to the
Catholic Church and its insistence on Trinity, which he
despised and kept it as a closely guarded secret through
out his life.
The word “science” takes a misguided direction in its

definition in the post modern phenomenology of different
cultures and religious life as practiced and experienced
universally. Quran calls research, and reflection in nature
as the, speech or words (Hadith) of God, the Bible calls
it as His Handiwork, in contrast to the secular. This
marginalized and separated the signs manifested in
nature from those manifested in the soul, it is only
working in conjunction the two achieve the status of
inspiration (Wahy).
The modalities and true definition of Intellect Aql,

knowledge Ilm, in context to the modern scientific world
view and the Divine seems to have drifted apart in
contemporary western thought. The epitome of all
Knowledge seems to emanate in the following verses.

And the alternation
Of Night and Day

Not so long ago science was synonymous with the belief
in a divine presence and inspiration as Christopher
Hitchens argues in “Does Science make belief in God
obsolete?.
“Until about 1832, when it first seems to have become

established as a noun and a concept, the term “scientist”
had no really independent meaning. “Science” meant
“knowledge” in much the same way as “physic” meant
medicine, and those who conducted experiments or
organized field expeditions or managed laboratories were
known as “natural philosophers.” To these gentlemen (for
they were mainly gentlemen) the belief in a divine
presence or inspiration was often merely assumed to be a
part of the natural order, in rather the same way as it
was assumed—or actually insisted upon—that a teacher
at Cambridge University swear an oath to be an ordained
Christian minister. For Sir Isaac Newton—an enthusiastic
alchemist, a despiser of the doctrine of the Trinity, and
a fanatical anti-Papist—the main clues to the cosmos
were to be found in Scripture. Joseph Priestley,
discoverer of oxygen, was a devout Unitarian as well as a
believer in the phlogiston theory. Alfred Russel Wallace,
to whom we owe much of what we know about evolution
and natural selection, delighted in nothing more than a
session of ectoplasmic or spiritual communion with the
departed.”
Though Quran is clear on this for intellect is
actualizations of the Divine commandants ( Amr) realized
by the RUH in the inner being , experienced in the
spiritual awakening whether engaged in Jihad against all
forms of aggression, or as missionaries, or in excessive
remembrance of God, and while contemplating the
intricacies of the heavens and the earth, or practicing all
righteous, deeds mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah,
exemplified in the life and words Hadith of the Prophet
Mohammad(Pbuh).
We have only recently started to inquire into Parallel

universes. A clue to their existence is eluded in the
following verse. With many universes and as many earths.
For the existence of paradise is mentioned as having an
expanse similar to the universe we live in. And all
encompassed by His knowledge (ILM).
The dominant religious traditions often allude to the
phenomenon of wholeness and interconnectedness of
various parts of the cosmos, being integrated to perform
their vital functions at the micro as well macro levels in
nature. As for the ultimate reality, there is no before
and after, exterior of interior. The Creator of Loh
Mahfuz the divine tablet unfolding an unfinished
product, a teleological movement hidden and not
understood by the recesses of present day science OR
for that matter any future science stems from God’s Plan
himself. Which both partially determined and partially
discrete, is acting within His Sunna, as described by Dr
M.B Altaie.
‘One may rightly suggest that the objects of the world

do have some intrinsic nature; and yet there can be no
clear reason why this nature should constitute a stand-
alone property, when we take into consideration the fact
that quantum physics has demonstrated the fluctuating
character of all the physical quantities. Here the
principle of continual re-creation proposed by kala’m
comes into play. Fluctuations are caused by continual re-
creation, justifying at the same time the divine
intervention which drives the world through its
constantly re-created properties’.
And again
‘So in the Islamic view, laws of nature are the laws for
nature sustained by God in accordance with His sunna,
His ‘way’ with creation. The law is the rule and the breach
is an allowed unpredictable exception. This is indeed in
conformity with the stipulations of quantum mechanics.
One final point is due. The laws of physics are, in fact,
our realizations of how the world will act; in no way do
these laws necessarily express the true and actual divine
algorithms. These laws are our algorithms for the world.
Therefore I would say that we are far from conceiving
how the ‘mind of God’ works; we are far from being able
to ‘catch God at work.’
Even if we did send

Unto them Angels,
And the dead did speak
Unto them, and We gathered
Together all things before
Their very eyes, they are not
The ones to believe,
Unless it is in Allah’s Plan.
But most of them
Ignore (the truth).44
Unless as the Quran says,
Everyone is guarded and protected on all sides by the

order of God. God does not change the condition of a
nation unless it changes what is in its heart. When God
wants to punish a people, there is no way to escape from
it and no one besides God will protect them from it.45
Laws of maximum diversity, operating in diverse fames

or dimensions, all unidirectional in time. A pragmatic
world of men and women, working with in their genetic
composition, behavior accorded in childhood to transition
in adulthood. Is there a Law of free will with exertions of
existential choices, results achieved and varying for the
less endowed (according the vicissitudes of the Bell
curve) to the more advanced intellects? Limited will for
some, to almost unlimited for others, depending on their
disposition, becoming agents (or servants depending on
the definition with in their frames of references) of a
higher purpose. Sometimes self aware, and assisted in
their efforts
from, bringing into reality an unfinished product inching
in apparently miniscule degree, from a meaning less
universe to a higher order, both in intelligence and
diversity.
Like the following verses warn us of keep doing our duty,

being patient and overlooking the people who want us
harm, until God command takes its course.
Many of the people of the book desire to turn you anyhow

back to unbelief. They wish this out of the envy of their
hearts though the Truth has become quiet clear to them.
Yet, you should show forbearance and forgiveness to
them till’ Allah Himself enforces His judgment.
A mystic having this to say “Destiny is the prison and

chain of the ignorant. Understand that destiny like the
water of the Nile: Water before the faithful, blood
before the unbeliever”.
And again
“People who have no hold over their process of thinking

are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought
is immature, liberty of thought becomes a method of
converting men into animals.” Mohammad Iqbal.
A mystical time and space, and a scientific time and

space, how do we reconcile the two? A leader of the
Balkan confederation opted for the kingdom of God, when
given a choice to fight Murat the Sultan of the Turks.
Islam spreading in the west for the next 500 years.
A similar choice given to Babur in the east seeking “divine
favour by abjuring liquor, breaking the wine vessels and
pouring the wine down a well. His followers responded
both to this act and his stirring exhortation stood their
ground at Khanua”. Islam would spread in the east again
for the next 500 years.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. Omar Khayyam
Freeman Dyson remarks:
“It is true that we emerged in the universe by chance,

but the idea of chance is itself only a cover for our
ignorance. I do not feel like an alien in this universe.
The more I examine the universe and study the
details of its architecture, the more evidence I find
that the universe in some sense must have known
that we were coming.”
And again.
”There is a strict lack of determination in the

microscopic world, so I think that may not be a
coincidence that looks something like free will, I am
not saying that electron actually has a
consciousness, of a kind that we have, but it
probably has the rudiments of a consciousness. In
some rudimentary sense, every atom has a mind and
then the brain is simply some sort of an apparatus
for amplifying the molecules, amplifying the choices
that are made by individual molecules, and
converting them unto a scale of human beings. That
seems to me very plausible that the existence of
quantum mechanics has something to do with the
existence of human consciousness, of course that
point of view is very unpopular among biologist,
most biologist think quantum mechanics, has
nothing to do with it, but anyway I beg to
differ. That this traditional God is sort of outside
of space and time He sees everything, understands
everything, knows everything and He is also
omnipotent. But my God is different he is part of
the universe, he evolves with the universe, he dos
not know what is going to happen, so his knowledge
increases as time goes on, and so he is in doubt just
as we are, and of course our contributions are in
fact his growth, and he grows through the
contributions of creatures like us.”
There have been many individuals like Alfred Wallace

Russell, PierreTeilhard de Chardin and Freeman Dyson,
who by reading the scripture in the book of nature have
sensed a divine purpose, but there knowledge remains
partial and incomplete, in the absence of understanding
and deep reflection on the verses of Quran.
In what the German poet Goethe achieved after reading

the Quran:
“Jesus felt pure and calmly thought

Only the One God;
Who made himself to be a god
Offends his holy will.
And thus the right(ness) has to shine
What Mahomet also achieved;
Only by the term of the One
He mastered the whole world”.
And again on his dislike of the Christian cross:
"And now you come with a sign ...

which among all others I mostly dislike.
All this modern nonsense
You are going to bring me to Schiras!
Should I, in all its stiffness,
Sing of two crossed wooden pieces?"
"Whether the Koran is of eternity?

I don't question that!...
That it is the book of books
I believe out of the muslim's duty."
"Stupid that everyone in his case

Is praising his particular opinion!
If Islam means submission to God,
We all live and die in Islam."
This lack of a complete understanding on the part of Dr
Freeman Dyson, stems from the persistence in his
thought form, of attaching every phenomenon associated
with the Ultimate Reality as an act in serial time, bound
by the laws of the spatial world and sense- experience
being the only mode of receiving the whole truth.
Unaccustomed to mystical experiences, he ventures to
capture God as a Divine being moving from a state of
constant imperfection to a blind perfection. In contrast
to what Herr Goethe and Dr Mohammad Iqbal would have
us realize about the works of the Divine.
‘Change, therefore, in the sense of a movement from an

imperfect to a relatively perfect state, or vice versa, is
obviously inapplicable to His life. But change in this sense
is not the only possible form of life. A deeper insight into
our conscious experience shows that beneath the
appearance of serial duration there is true duration. The
Ultimate Ego exists in pure duration wherein change
ceases to be a succession of varying attitudes, and
reveals its true character as continuous creation,
“untouched by weariness” and unseizable “by slumber or
sleep”. Dr Mohammad Iqbal.
This act of free will invoking exisistential choices in the
domains of both nature and the human are simply acts of
the Divine Will (Amr), the sunnah of Allah Subahan-Hu.
An act, deed, and action acquiring ever more freedom, as
the creative activity of the created assimilates the
Habits of the Creator. As we assimilate the mathematics
without and the light of the creator within. This duality
is acquired in a Darulhikmet catering to the needs of
both the exoteric and the esoteric. However God is not
unjust, He gives an illiterate (accordingly in the western
terminology and world view of knowledge) secrets of the
universe, knowledge of the Nafs (soul) not accessible to
an Einstein. There is nothing shocking, as the world
literature of all the major religions testify to their
mystics.
Isaac Newton had many mystical experiences, believed in
One God, considered Trinity as a later day falsification.
Believing Christianity went astray in the 4th century A.D.
“For Sir Isaac Newton—an enthusiastic alchemist, a

despiser of the doctrine of the Trinity, and a fanatical
anti-Papist—the main clues to the cosmos were to be
found in Scripture.”As noted by Christopher Hichens.
Maximum diversity including, chance, chaos, natural

selection, including ignorance and determinism, fine
tuning, randomness and knowledge, all playing their part
as parts of the whole. The mechanics or law if I can take
the liberty to use the word, of free will an arrow in time
solved with the solution of the riddle of time.
What does the Lord of the Universe Himself says in the

Quran?.
Yea, unto Allah belong

All things in the heavens
And on earth, and enough
Is Allah to carry through
All affairs.46
The final word is with Allah (swt) to Him we return, who

knows all the mysteries in the heavens and the earth.
Say: “The (Quran) was sent down

By Him Who knows
The Mystery (that is ) in the
heavens
And the earth: verily He
Is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”47
It is in context of the following verses of the Quran that

I have alluded to the ideal free will where men and
women of understanding having assimilated all the virtues
and habits of an Ulul Albab participate as friends of
Allah (swt) in His creative endeavors. All our activity
whether being a student, teacher, research worker,
reading any portion of the Quran, doing any righteous
deed like praying, distributing charity to the poor,
helping our neighbor is monitored by God. In the age of
communication with the fear of the Big Brother (the
authority of the government of the day and its
surveillance agencies) humans are reminded about an
authority, which surpasses them all. And again as and
when we are reminded to be true to the constitution of
earthly governments, hold to all its covenants. So are we
reminded that friends of God (the Aulia Allah) remain
steadfast with all their the convents ( Uqd) made with
the only Super power in the Universe, acting without any
fear, and constantly refraining from evil, so as being
given a choice a free will. If they make an honest
mistake, and realize it they repent and ask for
forgiveness.
And you are not (engaged) in any affair, nor do you
recite concerning it any portion of the Quran, nor do
you do any work but We are witnesses over you when you
enter into it, and there does not lie concealed from your
Lord the weight of an atom in the earth or in the heaven,
nor any thing less than that nor greater, but it is in a
clear book.
No doubt! Verily, the Auliya' of Allah [i.e. those who

believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much
(abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which he has
forbidden), and love Allah much (perform all kinds of
good deeds which He has ordained)], no fear shall come
upon them nor shall they grieve, -
As again our poet philosopher and mathematician Hazrat
Wasif Ali Wasif R.A remarks.
‘Man may make his way through the vastness of the sky,
he may knock at the heaven’s gate, he may unravel the
mysteries of the universe. He is free to do so. But
ultimately there comes a stage when his freedom and
latitude are instrumental in bringing him a message of
constraint and even the free man who soars high in the
sky is compelled to land on earth and thereafter is
swallowed by earth. We have no choice at the beginning
and none at the end. Only the span in between consists
of freedom. So how much freedom do we have?’
And again,
‘We are free indeed but it is a very circumscribed

freedom. We can’t step out of its circumscription. We
are fenced in by the earth and sky. Similarly we are
fenced in by our circumstances and our thinking. We
can’t get out of our own self. We can’t outgrow our
stature. We can’t overstep our limits. The frontier of
gain and loss is the limit of our deeds.’
And in the words of Iqbal
Thus the element of guidance and directive control in the

ego’s activity clearly shows that the ego is a free personal
causality. He shares in the life and freedom of the
Ultimate Ego who, by permitting the emergence of a finite
ego, capable of private initiative, has limited this freedom
of His own free will. This freedom of conscious behavior
follows from the view of ego-activity which the Qur’an
takes. There are verses which are unmistakably clear on
this point:
And say: The truth is from your Lord: Let him, then, who
will, believe; and let him who will, be an unbeliever. (18: 29).
If ye do well to your own behoof will ye do well; and if ye
do evil against yourselves will ye do it. (17: 7).
Indeed Islam recognizes a very important fact of human

psychology, i.e. the rise and fall of the power to act freely,
and is anxious to retain the power to act freely as a
constant and undiminished factor in the life of the ego.
The timing of the daily prayer which, according to the
Qur’an, restores “self-possession” to the ego by bringing
it into closer touch with the ultimate source of life and
freedom, is intended to save the ego from the mechanizing
effects of sleep and business. Prayer in Islam is the ego’s
escape from mechanism to freedom.’
A choice for some withering out to dust and bones,

thinking never to arise again, assuming as such, others
bending the Pascal wager to their whims.
‘God is, or He is not.” But to which side shall we incline?

Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite
chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the
extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails
will turn up... Which will you choose then? Let us see.
Since you must choose, let us see which interests you
least. You have two things to lose, the true and the good;
and two things to stake, your reason and your will, your
knowledge and your happiness; and your nature has two
things to shun, error and misery. Your reason is no more
shocked in choosing one rather than the other, since you
must of necessity choose... But your happiness? Let us
weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is... If
you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager,
then, without hesitation that He is.
And to some inspired with a force of changing the

directions of the world, in every instant of human history
and the future, attaining an everlasting personality here
and in the hereafter, all the Prophets being in this class,
The unity of the message of Islam reaches its zenith in
the following verses of the Quran.
Those who believe (in the
Qur’an).
Those who follow the Jewish

(scriptures),
And the Sabians and the

Christians---
Any who believe in Allah
And the Last Day
And work righteousness---
On them shall be no fear,
Nor shall they grieve.48
Eminent Muslim scholar Syed Abu Ala Maududi R.A

commenting on the above verses remarks. “ The context
in which this verse occurs shows that the Qur’an is not
laying down here the details of the creed and righteous
deeds, which one should believe and practice in order to
earn salvation. These things have been described in their
proper places. Here, the object is to refute the self
delusion of the Jews that salvation was their sole
monopoly. They were suffering from the delusion that
they had some special relationship with God; therefore
whoever belonged to their race would go straight to
Heaven, irrespective of his creed and deeds, and all
other people were born to become fuel of Hell. To
remove this misunderstanding of theirs Allah declares
that salvation does not depend upon one’s connections
with any group but on one’s right beliefs and good deeds.
Whoever goes before Allah with these provisions will find
will find his reward with Him, for Allah’s judgment will be
based on one’s real worth and not on the census
registers.”
For why would God want to protect the houses of worship

of the Jews, Christian and the Muslims?
To those against whom

War is made, permission
Is given (to fight), because
They are wronged---and verily,
Allah is Most powerful
For their aid--
(They are) those who have

Been expelled from their homes
In defiance of right—
(For no cause) except
That they say, “Our Lord
Is Allah “. Had not Allah
Checked one set of people
By means of another
There would surely have been
Pulled down monasteries,
Churches,
Synagogues, and mosques, in
Which
The name of Allah is
Commemorated
In abundant measure.. Allah will
Certainly aid those who
Aid His (cause)---for verily
Allah is Full of strength,
Exalted in Might.
(Able to enforce His Will).49
The addition of Jihad in reference to war, is a war of

self defense, as the above verses, the word of the
Almighty, the Creator and Sustainer of its creation, gives
permission to those who have been wrong fully evicted
from there homes, for believing in One true God.
Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and

are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow verily a
goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best
provision.50
Culminating in the life ( seerat un nabi), of the perfect
man, (insan e kamil) Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh). For
Allah’s (swt) inspirations acts in the movement of every
atom, the smallest particle, ultimately to the
quintessential processes, manifested in the creation out
of nothing, order out of chaos, laws of maximum
diversity, evolution and natural selection, in the life of
both the mathematical and the biological, the divinely
inspired bee, to men and women inspired and guided by
the soul (Ruh) within , and asymptotic intelligence moving
and growing in the direction of the Omega point, here the
Islamic Omega point points to the ultimate reality Allah
(swt) as the Quran mentions:
…. to God we belong and to Him shall we

return.51
And again
And that to your Lord (Allah) is the End (Return of
everything).52
More like an ensemble of gas particles acted upon by

statistical laws to the, ensemble of 7 billion people, acted
upon by the divine light. The seeker’s of this light are
few and far between. Quran says:

I swear by the heaven, holding mansions of the stars.
Humans are so engrossed in the accumulation of wealth,

fame and power, that they neglect implementing the signs
scattered either in the length and breadth of the Divine

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The
Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and
within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as
it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive,
neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh
luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light!
Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set
forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.53.
Its re-intregtrating with this light that men and women

experience, the blessings of the LORD OF THE
WORLDS. The cherisher and sustainer, the first and the
last, the inwards and the outwards. Whose light
permeates the entire universe at every instant. For the
World would collapse and be destroyed without the
continuous sustenance from this light. Light upon Light
illuminating the heart and soul of every man and woman of
Faith.
Quran further elaborates.

It is Allah Who sustains the heavens and the earth, lest
they cease (to function): and if they should fail, there is
none - not one - can sustain them thereafter: Verily He is
Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.54

Becomes a Sufi, in transition to becoming a ‫اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬
ْ in
Allah’s way, eloquently elaborated by a Muslim saint
Professor Rafiq Akhtar. “ Sufi’s were different kind of
people, In the varieties of specializations, many people
extrapolated new methods, in which Sufism was of a
unique character, I cannot infer, that either due to a
personal tragedy, accidental love, death of a mother or
father, Due to an incident, and very rarely due to search
for knowledge, some people deviated from the norms of
the society and contemplated a new path to believe in
God, to discover God. The real definition of Tasawuf in
not, that it was nominated by the Ashari, or nurtured
under the influence of the Greek Philosophy, or some
speculated influence of the ideas of orient and the
occident, no such thing happened.”
“The definition of Sufism is very simple, when a man

or a woman decides, at an appropriate age, the
significance and meaning of First priority in his or her
life, as God is a Sufi (mystic).”
“Ladies and gentlemen, when an urge arises in the heart

of someone to give correct preference to ones priorities
in life. And then selects God as the First preference and
priority, is a Sufi. It is been one our greatest
misfortunes, we always judged reality based on
excellence. We saw it when it had already achieved its
eminence. We saw Tasawuf and the Sufi, when Sheikh
Abdul Qadir had reached the highest stations in the
spiritual life, that of Qutub-Ul-Aqtab. We saw Ali Bin
Usman when he was ranked Qutub-Ul-Aqtab, and sent
to land of Hind. There must have been a time when this
sheikh of his era, would have started his first teachings.
Like you and me, he must have desired and taken the
first step. Must have been a youth, and struggled with
his basic instincts. Would have changed the centers of
accountability, and in this conflict of power and soul,
made errors. And asked for forgiveness from his Lord.
What else is the beginning of every soul, an error, and
what else are rewards but a repentance, rest are the
rituals of religion.”59

EXTRATERRESTRIAL AND QURAN
We have not yet detected an extraterrestrial signal.

From its inception in the 1959 paper by physicists
Giuseppe Cocconi and Phillip Morrison who together wrote
that the frequency of 1420 MHz which corresponds to
21-centimeter line of neutral hydrogen would be a good
starting point to make contact with extraterrestrial
civilization.
“It is reasonable to expect that sensitive receivers for

this frequency will be made at an early stage of the
development of radio astronomy. That would be the
expectation of operators of the assumed source, and the
present state of terrestrial instruments indeed justifies
the expectation.” They further stated.
“The reader may wish to consign these
speculations wholly to the domain of
science fiction. We submit, rather, that
the foregoing line of argument
demonstrates that the presence of
interstellar signals is entirely consistent
with all we now know, and that if signals
are present the means of detecting
them is now to hand. Few will deny the profound
importance practical and philosophical which the
detection of interstellar communications would have. We
therefore feel that a discriminating search for signals
deserves a considerable effort. The probability of
success is difficult to estimate but if we never search
the chance of success is zero.”9
Cocconi and Morrison's paper started a debate which will
continue till humans or their evolved
forms survive doing science and in the
process colonize, other star systems
and galaxies.
On the existence of extraterrestrial life
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and

the earth, and of whatever living creatures (da'bbah) He
has spread forth in both.10

describes da'bbah, ‘Anything that walks [or creeps or
crawls] upon the earth , an animal that walks or creeps or
crawls , discriminating and not discriminating , any animal
upon the earth’ including humans in contrast to angels.

Those who understand not. (8:22)
Here as in all the verses of Quran, God’s signs need to be

observed, reflected, pondered and acted upon after
being deciphered by men and women of understanding
ُ
(‫)اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬.Warning
ْ those who do not reflect on these
signs as dweller’s of fire.
But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they
shall be companions of the Fire; they shall abide therein.
Living creations are spread, throughout the expanse of

the heavens and the earth. This verse embodies us to
seek the means of communicating with creatures in the
heavens called his Servants. How else could live
creatures in the heavens, appear as signs. Muslim’s have
passed by many signs that the west now seems very
certain about their truth. Origins of both the universe
and humankind alluded in different verses. Topics that
were ones considered as hearsay are now being taught
about in the curricula. On 5th December 2011 NASA
announced the discovery of a planet similar to the earth
as the “First planet in the habitable zone of a sun-like
star, Kepler-22b. It's 2.4 times the size of the Earth,
it's in an orbital period (or year) of 290 days, a little bit
shorter than the Earth's, it's a little bit closer to its
star than Earth is to the sun, 15 percent closer”. Thomas
Wright would be excited.
Not one of the beings in the Heavens and the earth
But must come to (Allah).
Most Gracious as a servant.
He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered
them (all) exactly. (Al Quran 19-93-94).11
The use of word (da'bbah) is often mentioned in the
Quran for animals or beasts, referring to humans as well.
In one verse admonishing those who do not use reason.

Those who understand not 8-22
And again:
For the worst of the beasts

Are those who reject Him:
They will not believe.
In the following verses the number 7 in the Semitic

languages refers to unlimited, or many, connoting
multiplicity, in creation of seven heavens and a similar
number of earths. With a reference to Divine Guidance
Amr (Arabic for command) appearing for the inhabitants
of those earths..
Allah is He Who
Created seven Heavens
And of the Earth
A similar number
Through the midst
Of them (all) descends
His Commands: that ye may
Know that Allah has power
Over all things, and that
Allah comprehends all things
In (His) Knowledge.
Whatever beings there are in the heavens and the earth

do prostrate themselves to Allah (Acknowledging
subjection),- with good-will or in spite of themselves: so
do their shadows in the morning and evenings.
The forgoing verses explicitly mention intelligent life in

outer space, scattered throughout the cosmos. We find
complex organic materials the precursor of life
everywhere in the universe. The enigma with revelations
or messages from the Supreme Intelligence, being whom
we call Allah, God, The Eternal One, or by any other
name, is that there is no instrument in the scientific
laboratory (Professor Bertrand Russell denied the
existence of God on lack of reason or evidences, asked
what would he do if he found God, after he died, he said
he would quote lack of evidence) to communicate with,
and authenticate his presence, no empirical data
confirming or denying his infinite power and wisdom. Do
ye not see that Allah has subjected to your (use) all
and unseen? Yet there are among men those who
dispute about Allah, without knowledge and without
guidance, and without a Book to enlighten them!(Al
Quran 31:20).12 Here dispute or more aptly a study
about Allah envisions a Dialectical principle encompassing
knowledge of Allah, derived from words of Allah in the
Divine book of nature, (is were we find the empirical data
of His presence, a simple example is in the combination
of the products of matter and energy from the , rain,
wind, sunlight, distance of the earth from the sun an
aberration of the inverse square law, an almost perfect
circular motion with only a four million miles of variation,
to alternation of night and day, creation of the water
cycle and other recycling natural cycles, to Van Allen
belts to the right tilt of the earth relative to the sun,
the balance in the other solar systems, eventually to the
gluing of the galaxy by dark matter etc, seen and unseen
bounties in exceeding measure , maintaining the
temperatures range with in which the humans can survive,
as I observe the temperature fluctuations for the past
24 hours, on my desktop computer from the weather
channel in Pembroke Pines Florida, I observe a fluctuation
of 10 degree on the average, at any day of the week,
exceptions not with standing). It is this change in
perspective of a modern Muslim from science in its
excessiveness or what is termed as scientism, to a Divine
book of nature, with its own men and women of knowledge
and intellect is not emphasized in any religion except
Islam. Looking towards one of the three sources
mentioned in the verses above to seek His presence. The
center of all action and will moves from the scientific
laboratory to the Qalb illuminated by Hadith of Allah
(swt) in the
1. Divine book of nature.
Ve Muhammad)l These Ayaat which We are rehearsing to

Words of God and His Signs (deduced from Nature).
It is He who made the sun a radiance, and the moon a

light, and determined it by stations, that you might know
the number of the years and the reckoning. God
created that not save with the truth, distinguishing the
signs to a people who know.
The Milky Way galaxy rolling out time and direction in

this part, to a precision of unparallel magnitude and
complexity, seemingly without a free will. A Laplace would
render perturbation theory for this symmetry, an Isaac
Newton a Divine presence. A free will and choice for
both.
First mosque named Ulul Albab Mosque, Unnes.
Alif Lam Ra
These are the Ayat
Of the Book of Wisdom.
This (Quran) is a guidance. And those who disbelieve in
the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) of their Lord, for them there is a
painful torment of Rijz (a severe kind of punishment).
Quran: 45-11.
Here Rijz a psychological state of a fragmented mind and

consciousness, ever fluctuating between doubt and faith,
is called a severe punishment. The lane Arabic dictionary
defines the Arabic word Rjis, with different meanings
one being doubt, “they are in a state of confusion and
perturbation in respect of their affair or case”.
It maybe mentioned the removal of Rijz comes with

‘Shariah accompanied by Tazkiyah e nafs’ or the
tightening of the knot of the ego as Hazrat Mohammad
Iqbal R.A mentions in the chapter on ‘Is Religion Possible’
in his book ‘Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam.’
I have included a chapter on ‘Shariah accompanied by
Tazkiyah e nafs’ under the guidance of Dr Azhar
Waheed, coming out of a series of lectures delivered by
him on both.
The time is right to gain back the naming rights, and
stop being apologetic. With a use of such terms as:
1 Darul Hikmet
2 Yaqaloon
3 Ilm
4 Ulul Ulbab
5 Aql
6 Alamoon or Alim
A critic could claim it to be pseudo knowledge or science

in disguise. But it is not a matter of knowledge or science
it is in fact a matter of priority. When Allah (swt) the
Most Gracious and the Most Merciful is the only priority
and He commands us to view and act on certain things the
way He wants, it is He, Who is the inheritor.
It is We Who will inherit

The earth, and all beings
Thereon : to Us will they
All be returned.
Quran remarks:
Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best

(meaning) in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided,
and those are the ones endued with understanding.
2. His personal Guidance, (Infinite possibilities exist in

Allah ( swt) guiding His creation. One being the
outpouring of ideas and thoughts manifested in
inspirational poetry and writings, while studying the
Quran, other being the occasional opening of a page and
the related message from the Quran, or a book of a
rightly guided under the extremity of despair or the
sincerest urge of a seeker of Divine truth, or unusual
moments of clarity and understanding under the passion
and the fire burning in the Heart to find Allah (swt) and
in the process becoming friend of Allah (swt) the most
gracious the most merciful. .
The third source being a
3. Book (scripture) to gain knowledge about Him, where

Allah in His infinite mercy encourages His creation to
seek Him.
They have not estimated Allah His Rightful Estimate;

Verily, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty.
And in the process creating new knowledge hitherto

unknown to men or women. Would a present or a future
super human race be able to do that it’s, hard to
contemplate at our present level of technological
progress and intelligence. Having already envisioned the
tear and rupture in the fabric of space and time, after
controlling hydel energy, wind and steam powers,
harnessing electro-magnetism, solar energy, nuclear
forces, conquering Hyper space seems to be the next,
albeit when, we don’t know. On Oct 29th 2011 neutrino’s,
elementary particles were found to travel faster then
the speed of light as announced at CERN a few months
later the news was retracted, indicating a much more
peaceful resolution in realm of science as contrasted with
religion. As we progress from the type I to type II and
III or more civilizations, will we have more answers, as
we or our evolved forms start doing Astro-Engineering of
the Divine book of nature ( Be iznillah by the Will of
God). Physics transforming into Meta-physics in the
Human Phenomenon.
However as we slowly move towards Astro-Engineering (

Be iznillah, by the Will of God) the cosmos, men and
women of faith are increasingly being manipulated and
forced (knowingly or unknowingly) to play by the rules of
science. This sometimes seems to apparently challenge,
the Creator Himself or playing God according to others.
A Satanic metaphor repeated through ages.
(Remember also) Qarun, Pharaoh, and Haman: there came

to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with
insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach
(Us).
And
(Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating

when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he:
Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay."
What does Quran say in the verses. “Do ye not see that
Allah has subjected to your (use) all things in the
heavens and on earth”. As Allah delegates more and
more of His power and knowledge to its creation, enabling
it to control all the things in the heavens and on earth
one day, it will definitely be a test of faith, the duty of
its creation is to humbly praise the lord by praying the
following..
And that those on whom
Knowledge has been bestowed
may learn
That the Qur’an) is the truth
From thy Lord, and that they
May believe therein, and their
Hearts
May be made humbly (open)
To it: for verily Allah is
The Guide of those who believe,
To the Straight Way.
Orientalists have done a great service to Islam in various

capacities depending on their orientation and
capabilities. One such orientalist was Edward William
Lane who wrote the English-Arabic Lexicon in the 18th
century (though not entirely without their ulterior
motives).
http://www.tyndalearchive.com/tabs/lane/
One such word Arabic word is Jadal and defined as:
1. He contended in an altercation, or disputed or

litigated, with him, or did so vehemently or violently and
ably or powerfully [or he did so obstinately, or merely for
the purpose of convincing him; for]
the other being Mujadila from the same root:
2. Signifies the disputing respecting a question of

science, for the purpose of convincing the opponent,
whether what he says be wrong in itself or not.
And so on to Jedil:
3. Hence as a term of logic, A syllogism of things well

known or conceded, the object of which is to convince
the opponent, and to make him to understand who fails to
comprehend the premises of the demonstration.
(Copied exactly as they appear in the dictionary).
Jadelat: "I twisted the rope firmly" as though each of

the two parties twisted the other from his opinion or as
some say it originally means the act of wrestling, and
throwing down the other upon the ground.
Qur'an using the same word develops an argument for

those who dispute about God.
Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth
and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent
and unapparent? But of the people is he who disputes
about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an
enlightening Book [from Him]. Qur'an 31:20
So it appears disputes in understanding God, were

subject to the mentality, knowledge of the recipients , on
their levels of self-interests, vehemently in some to more
peaceful and logical in others.
Qur'an here in the above ayah subjects it reader to the

logical argument. To resolve dispute about Allah logically
using the above three standards viz knowledge, guidance
and an enlightened book.
In a simpler form Mohammad Iqbal relates this process

as follows.
Broadly speaking religious life may be divided into three

periods. These may be described as the periods of
“Faith”, “Thought”, and “Discovery.” In the first period
religious life appears as a form of discipline which the
individual or a whole people must accept as an
unconditional command without any rational
understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of
that command. This attitude may be of great
consequence in the social and political history of a people,
but is not of much consequence in so far as the
individual’s inner growth and expansion are concerned.
Perfect submission to discipline is followed by a rational
understanding of the discipline and the ultimate source
of its authority. In this period religious life seeks its
foundation in a kind of metaphysics– a logically consistent
view of the world with God as a part of that view. In the
third period metaphysics is displaced by psychology, and
religious life develops the ambition to come into direct
contact with the Ultimate Reality. It is here that religion
becomes a matter of personal assimilation of life and
power; and the individual achieves a free personality, not
by releasing himself from the fetters of the law, but by
discovering the ultimate source of the law within the
depths of his own consciousness. As in the words of a
Muslim Sufi– “no understanding of the Holy Book is
possible until it is actually revealed to the believer just
as it was revealed to the Prophet.” It is, then, in the
sense of this last phase in the development of religious
life that I use the word religion in the question that I
now propose to raise. Religion in this sense is known by
the unfortunate name of Mysticism, which is supposed
to be a life-denying, fact-avoiding attitude of mind
directly opposed to the radically empirical outlook of
our times. Yet higher religion, which is only a search for
a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the
necessity of experience as its foundation long before
science learnt to do so. It is a genuine effort to clarify
human consciousness, and is, as such, as critical of its
level of experience as Naturalism is of its own level.
It is in this third period of Discovery we start to

understand the "The splitting of the moon". Can one
develop a personality able to understand difficult
subjects in the Qur'an by elevating ones Rooh to a level
higher than that of the nafs or soul? Also called nafs
e mutminah.
I understand that this path is long, arduous, and

hazardous many of the Sufi have claimed "karamats" and
others Prophet Hood.
Mohammad Iqbal was really perplexed when he tried to

understand the “Finality of Prophet Hood" being
challenged, and sought the writings of Shaykh Ibn Arabi
for any mention of such. The Wahhabi movement did
away all together with the institution of saint hood,
fearing such utterances.
Opinion:
Know thyself inscribed at the temple of Apollo at Delphi,

would add know thy friends and thy companions
accompanying thy self in the journey of thy life.( too
much thy's) hence our children's cut off from the old
English cannot read the classic’s, as we cut from Farsi
and Arabic do. There have been sages who had a glimpse
of sacred perhaps not the sacred itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Khalil Gibran could be two such

individuals, might be wrong have to read their works.
"Aristotle writes in his Metaphysics: When the objects

of an inquiry, in any department have principles,
conditions, or elements, it is through acquaintance with
these that knowledge, that is scientific knowledge, is
attained. For we do not think that we know a thing until
we are acquainted with its primary conditions or first
principles, and have carried our analysis as as its first
elements. Plainly therefore in the science of Nature, as in
other branches of study, our first task will be to try to
determine what relates to its principles.".
Simply put Aristotle writes in the nest paragraph, we

start from the General and then by the process of
reductionism find the details.
A first principle is a basic, foundational proposition or
assumption that cannot be deduced from any other
proposition or assumption.
In mathematics, first principles are referred to as
axioms or postulates....wikipedia.
“Similarly a child begins by , calling all men "father" and

all women "mother", but later on distinguishes each of
them. Aristotle's metaphysics.
Goethe writes the western Divan, inspired by eastern

sages as having a thirst for the east, studies the poets
of Persia "Khawaja Hafiz" and "Sadi Shirazi ". Iqbal
(knowing German, English, Urdu, Farsi and Sanskrit.)
writes payam e mashriq as an answer to Goethe divan.
Though I think Goethe like Ralph and Khalil too missed

the sacred, having been inspired by”Spinoza" too.

Allah the First and the Last in Quran states that
Surely God -- He has knowledge of the Hour; He sends

down the rain; He knows what is in the wombs. No soul
knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in
what land it shall die. Surely God is All-knowing, All-
aware.
The word INDAHU describes “in possession”, of Allah

the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent the knowledge
of the following
1. The knowledge of the Hour.
2. The knowledge where Rain will fall.
3. What is in mother’s womb?
4. What each soul will earn tomorrow.
5. Of each soul what land it will die.
Which He can by His Will and Permission accord to

humans if He so Wishes (Be-Iznillah). He challenges His
creatures the humans to create, where He so Wishes
(Be-Iznillah).
Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned

We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the
little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh,
and then produced it as another creation. So
blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!
He calls Himself the best of creators, besides others

namely humans and jinn to; and calls them to create a
single verse of the Quran, or get back what a gnat flies
away with, attending to the incapacity of both the
challenger and the challenged. The challenge apparently
posed by modern science is both the reflection of the
Almighty’s power and plan to bring His acme creation, to
a level in strength and ability granting him a status from
the lowest of the low to the Vice-regent/ Co-worker and
in the process conqueror the entire universe. If the
master plan is not visible so is the shortsightedness.
Some times a verse which modern science appears to
challenge has a solution is pairs as everything else is
created in pairs. Either the verse creates an incentive
for humans to duplicate and achieve same brilliance, as
manifested in the verse or the reminder of the ultimate
fate in the hands of the Best Creator. Quran, exhorts to
reflect on this order emerging out of chaos as not
created without a purpose and truth (Haq).
What appears as an unbridled evolution, is the unity in

diversity leading to infinite levels of advancements in
knowledge, culminating in face to face meeting with the
Almighty, an end which will take unlimited amount of
time and resources.
Arabic-English lexicon by Edward William Lane,

ُ
describes. “(‫)اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬,
ْ persons of understanding. (
Labib), a person of understanding, or intelligence. Hence
( Lub) of a man (understanding, intellect, intelligence and
mind). Aql the understanding that is put into the heart
of a man so called because it is the choicest or best part
of him, or it is not so called unless it is pure from
cupidity or lust and foul imaginations and therefore
has a more special sense than Aql. Lubab, lub what is
pure, or, best part of anything thing.”
These people of intelligence and understanding achieving

the purification of the soul by practicing Taqwa are also
called Muttaqeen, the true believers. Obeying both
Allah (swt) and the His messenger Prophet Mohammad
(Pbuh).
And obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW)

that you may obtain mercy.
Asking forgiveness of their Lord as the following verses
remark.
And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness

from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the
heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqun.
Those who spend in the cause of Allah (swt) both in

adversity and in prosperity. Overcome anger; forgive
others for the love of Allah the Al-Rehman and Al-
Rahim.
Those who spend [in Allah's Cause - deeds of charity,
alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress
anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-
Muhsinun (the gooddoers).
Those having committed a shameful act seek Allah (swt)

repentance, and forgivness..
And those who, when they have committed Fahishah

(illegal sexual intercourse etc.) or wronged themselves
with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their
sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allah - And do not
persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know.
For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and
Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise),
wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this
reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according
to Allah's Orders).
TWO AYAH ON THE LOGIC OF QURAN:
They say: "What! when we are reduced to bones and dust,

should we really be raised up (to be) a new creation?"
Say, "Be you stones or iron

Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest (to be
raised up),- (Yet shall ye be raised up)!" then will they say:
"Who will cause us to return?" Say: "He who created you
first!" Then will they wag their heads towards thee, and
say, "When will that be?" Say, "May be it will be quite soon!
DEFINATION AND CORRECT MEANINGS OF THE

ُ
WORD (‫)اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬.
ْ
Quran does render the correct premises in the word,

ُ
(‫)اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬
ْ a title granted by none other than the
Creator and Sustainer Allah (swt) Himself, Lord of the
seen and unseen, as the epitome of all understanding,
modern scientism, excludes domains of experience
beyond sense perception, limits human intellect (Aql ) in
its search of the Providence. The unity of the message of
Quran for men and women of understanding is in essence
the oneness of God. (Tawhid). It is not preordained for
it can lead to shirk, but an actualization of the self or
ُ
ego achieved in the hearts of the (‫)اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬
ْ by the
Grace and Will of Allah (swt). The two acts of this Will
of the Almighty, the inward (Batin) and the outward
(Zahir), the Creator of things in pairs is reflected by the
Ruh of the insan al kamil, the divine vicergent (naib). As
ُ
the definition of the word (‫)اْلَ ْلبَابِ أ ْو ُلوا‬
ْ symbolizes.
Leading to the hadith of the Prophet of Islam,
‘Takhallaqu bi-akhlaq Allah’, ‘Create in yourself the
attributes of God.’ Fortified with
1. Tawhid

and that they may know that He is the only One Ilah
(God - Allah) - (none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah), and that Ulul Albab( men and women of
understanding) may take heed.
2. Hikmah

Albab (men and women of understanding.)7
3. Two kinds of verses in the Quran. A) Have clear
meanings. B) Having hidden meanings or not yet
understood because knowledge has not advanced to
that level.
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are

verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning);
they are the foundation of the Book: others are
allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow
the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and
searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its
hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly
grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the
whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the
Message except Ulul Albab (men and women of
understanding).
4. Endowed with Knowledge and Taqwa , without pride,

and false ego, choose the right meaning of the words.
For Quran warns those who invent false Hadith, or words

in the following verse.
But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales,
without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from
the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for
such there will be a Humiliating Penalty.
5. Revelations (Hadith, words of Allah) in the divine book

of nature and the divine books revealed to the Prophets.
And the alternation
Of Night and Day

the punishment of the Fire." (Qur'an, 3: 191)
`
Hubble Telescope
Grand Mosque at Mecca
6. Understanding, reflecting and pondering on the
meanings in the verses of the Quran. A book full of
wisdom, knowledge, insights about the universe and a
spiritual guide for men and women of understanding
within. A book full of blessings, like the other books of
God including Torah, Psalms and the Bible which preceded
it.
It is a blessed Book which We have revealed for you so

that you will reflect upon its verses and so the people of
understanding will take heed.
7. The other lesson for men and women of understanding

is that, after they have read the Quran, they have to
constantly actualize, and practice living in peace and
harmony, within their community, be an example for all.
.
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Not equal are AlKhabith (all
that is evil and bad as regards things, deeds, beliefs,
persons, foods, etc.) and AtTaiyib (all that is good as
regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.), even
though the abundance of Al-Khabith (evil) may please
you." So fear Allah much [(abstain from all kinds of sins
and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah
much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has
ordained)], O Ulul Albab (men and women of
understanding) in order that you may be successful.
8. Hereafter is the final destination of every man and

women of understanding.
Allah has prepared for them a severe torment. So fear

Allah and keep your duty to Him, O Ulul Albab (men and
women of understanding) who have believed! - Allah has
indeed sent down to you a Reminder (this Quran).
9. Those that reflect and acquire Allah Mercy and

Blessings through prayers in the depth of nights,
contemplating on signs in Nature, Quran and the Qalb.
those who know not?" It is only men of understanding who
will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah's Signs and
Verses).

MEANS AND WAYS OF APPROACH TOWARDS GOD.
There is however for every human being man and women a

duty to attain and seek the MEANS of approach to Allah.
O ye who believe
Do your duty to Allah
Seek the means
Of approach unto Him,
And strive with might
And main in His cause:
That ye may prosper.(5:35)
And keep thy soul content
With those who call
On their Lord morning
And evening ,seeking
His Face; and let not
Thine eyes pass beyond them,
Seeking the pomp and glitter
Of this life; nor obey
Any whose heart We
Have permitted to neglect
The remembrance of Us,
One who follows his own
Desires, whose case has
Gone beyond all bounds.
1.The first thing then is to seek the five times Salah a
day for the sake of Allah(swt). A conversation with the
Creator. This is remembrance or Dhikr.
And do thou (O reader!)

Bring thy Lord to remembrance
In thy (very) soul,
With humility and in revererance,
Without loudness in words,
In the mornings and evenings;
And be not thou
Of those who are unheedful.
And again those of us who miss prayers,
Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have

given up As-Salat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salat
(prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by
not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in
their proper fixed times, etc.] and have followed lusts.
So soon they will meet evil..
2. Charity.
As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the

Fuqara' (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and those
employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the
hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam);
and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for
Allah's Cause (i.e. for Mujahidun - those fighting in the
holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut
off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah
is All-Knower, All-Wise.
An effort to find and talk to God’s other creations,

seems not possible for everyone. But Quran does gives a
clue to people of Paradise talking to those in Hell and
asking them the cause of their affliction in the following
verses.
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers,

etc.), (And they will say to them):
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer
their Salat (prayers)
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);

"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah
hated) with vain talkers .
"And we used to belie the Day of Recompense
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
3. Remembrance of Allah(swt) in the Heart or Qalb., is

where the spiritual journey emanates, in search of Al
Haqq. For its only attaining the love of Allah what is real,
all else is just the inward and outward manifestations of
his love. Illuminated by divine names.
Accepting Allah’s PLAN AND WILL introduces a paradigm
shift, when a Momin in the way of Allah after undergoing
heart wrenching trails and tribulation accepts the Plan
and Will of Allah as all Encompassing. Every new traveler
on this path has to first answer the question.
How can I find God?
Remembering God is the shortest way to Him, the word

short may not suffice here as there is a direct
connection between the Creator and His creation. He
says He is closer than the jugular vein.
It was We Who created man, and We know what dark

suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to
him than (his) jugular vein.
Quran is in fact Allah (swt), word’s and His speech, when

we remember Him, through the Quran, we invoke His
speech and establish a harmony for split seconds, too
however long a two way communication. The creation
asking for His mercy and guidance and the Creator
responding in kind. The Creator is not unjust or unkind,
for those who remember Him, in their own languages, are
duly rewarded.
Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage

much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend
themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And
soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes
their affairs will take!
Remembrance is supplemented with the purification of

the soul, as the following verses state.
But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and
restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts.
This desire to purify the heart from lust, pride, egotism,
jealousy, hypocrisy, conceit, grudge; need the company
and guidance from an Aulia Allah a friend of the
Almighty. Constantly reminding and teaching the
Salik(Seeker), Talib (Student), Ulul Albab (men and
women of understanding)the intricacies of Quran and
Sunnah, with the utmost emphasis on practice/deeds.
Bringing into the mantle of the injunctions of Quran and
the Seerat of the last Prophet. Along with excessive
veneration of this beloved of God.
The first stage is the repentance Taubah (repentance)

which lead to Ikhlas( ) by overcoming what Quran
calls Naf’s Amara or the lower soul.
"And I free not myself (from the blame). Verily, the

(human) self is inclined to evil, except when my Lord
bestows His Mercy (upon whom He wills). Verily, my Lord
is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
MURAQABA
A contemplation technique practiced with utmost

concentration on the Ayaat (signs ) of Quran and
Divine names of Allah.
1. One verse for Muraqaba.

And the alternation
Of Night and Day

This creative activity mentioned in the above ayat

ُ
referrers to men and women of understanding (‫أ ْو ُلوا‬
ِ‫)اْلَ ْلبَاب‬
ْ in an act and deed devoted to the commands of
Allah. As the opening verses of the Quran, introduce and
prepare the seeker/beginner who wants to take the first
step.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the

worlds;
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.

It is You we worship and You we ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path,
The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor,

not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those
who are astray.
First determining Allah as the only priority the rest
being the supplication for His guidance on the straight
path, integrating all our professions as a military
scientist, astrophysicist, doctor, engineer, scientist,
psychologist, sociologist etc and developing our Soul (
Nafs) constitutes Surat-e-Mustaqeem, while seeking
His mercy from the hell fire. These are some of the
righteous deeds to be practiced to overcome the gloom
and despair I elude later, of how everything around us is
set up in a way leading for us to follow only the capitalist
system with its inherent greed, in this world shaking
endeavor by strengthening the individual and
consequently, the whole Islamic community. When
namaz becomes a mere ritual, and not as time for
reflecting and contemplating on the ayaat being read and
conversing with the Creator, the masjid as a place of
inactivity, we gravitate to what Iqbal warns in his poem
of Asrar-e- Khudi, as those who do not tighten the knot
of their self, bring themselves gradually out of favour of
God.
And be ye not like those who forgot Allah; and He made

them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious
transgressors!
2.

The Jihad against our souls is for own well being, for God
is free from all needs.
And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for

their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all
creation.
3. Men and Women of understanding who wake up in

the night and reflect on the verses of Quran, while
invoking Mercy of Allah(swt)

Allah's Signs and Verses). Quran 39-9.
A constant self education at night reflecting upon the

verses in Quran with Allah (swt) as the witness leads to
knowledge, by which the friends of Allah (swt) are
selected and entrusted with the secrets of the Universe,
both within the heart and outside.
The devotee, can reach illumination in two ways, as

described to me by Zulfiqar Agha a mystic living in
Orlando, Fl.
1. The devotee by initiation into a circle becomes

a traveler, is guided on the journey from Qal to
Hal by a Sufi master.
2. The devotee having independently experienced
illumination by Divine Grace being selected out
of a multitude for a purpose.
Here Dr Azhar Waheed, contemporary Muslim mystic and

physician guides us to Shariah/Tariqah , the
exoteric/esoteric by reminding the golden, imperatives
of a Hadi(Guide) in order to understand the intricacies of
Quran and Sunna of Prophet Mohammad(sallallaahu ‘alaihi
wa sallam), and in the process develop that Nafs(ego)
which can sustain the shocks of life, of death and the
Hereafter(life after death).
When the Creator reminds of the ayah 2:164 and 3:189-

200, essentially a path of a scientist turned into a mystic.
When he considers the Creator as One and reflects on
the creation of the universe, turning into the mohiba love
for the Creator of this creation, and is reminded that no
work of a male or female will go unaccounted for.
And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God - Allah), La ilaha illa
Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped
but He), the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which
sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind,
and the water (rain) which Allah sends down from the sky
and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and
the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has
scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds
which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed
Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs, etc.) for people of
understanding.
And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to
Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than
anything else). If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment,
that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment.

Dear Imran Sb!

AOA!
I respect your difference of opinion. I appreciate your candid
expression of difference of opinion. The difference of opinion
between intellectual people invariably proved to be a nidus of
creation. Now I expect you should come up with creating a new
dimension of thought.
We will meet again after 120 days, Insha.Allah!
P.S.
I should also admit that I, too, cannot quit my way, a way that is
elaborated by Hz. Wasif Ali Wasif , Saeen Fazal Shah , Baba bulleh
Shah, Rumi , Fareed-u-Deen Attar and of course the way which is
taught to practice in Kashful Mahjoob. I should clearly express
that thought pattern vocalized by Dr. Zakir Naik, Prof. Basheer-u-
Deen Sb, Prof, Rafeeq Akhter and Pervaiz Sb, is simply not at par
with what is in my pursuit. I expected, and still expect you to come
up with a synthesis of Science and Mysticism. I always encouraged
you ( must recall our first meeting in Lhr) to work and keep on
working and writing regarding topic of ULUL-ALBAAB. ; but at the
same time, I cannot approve a wrong, or out of context
inferences/deductions on your part). I will humbly suggest you to
reopen our correspondence and re-read my versions regarding ILM,
INTELLECT and ULUL-ALBAAB.
We should know each other's limitations. Dear Imran Sb! I have my
own limitations as I have limited time left; that is why I am more
concerned with refining of Soul (tazkia.e.nafs); the same I focus
during Q & A sessions with my students. To re-affirm what we are
doing in Mehfil, I will suggest to re-read Ashfaq Sb's MUN CHALY
KA SODA
Anyhow, we can meet and exchange our views, outside Mehfil, any
time, anywhere.
Stay Blessed !!
( I will keep you updating about my new writings; plz, find copies of
my last few columns; today's columns is a tribute to our late friend
Mr. Furqan Danish)

This journey from Islam to Iman and finally to Ihsan cannot be undertaken
without the Sangat/Darul-Hikmet/Tadabur ul Quran Academy any on of these
names constitutes the reflection and the associative power of such a group as
contrasted with the a search of an individual, a collection built up slowly of such
like minded Ahle Khayal on whom Allah’s mercy and blessing abounds.
Reflecting on the Quran and Hadith being mentioned there, including the
veneration on the Last Prophet Mohammad (sallallaahuِ‘alaihiِِwaِsallam ).
If in the process the level of consciousness of the soul starts to transmute from
its lower to higher forms the seeker starts receiving new inspirations of
Khayal/intuition/vibes it is imperative to follow what Dr Azhar remarks.
From Duality to Divinity
The first breath of life serves an encounter of human consciousness

with the world of perception. His world is all what he perceives
through his five senses.
prelude
Thoughts Reconstructed
As it goes, “I think, therefore I am!” Human being is

distinguished among other physical being on account of
his ability to think, reflect and then response back in the
form of thoughts. He assimilates concrete world and can
produce ideas that are abstract. Abstract thinking is a
hallmark of human being. Sometimes it appears that by
virtue of this abstract thinking he is capable of
maneuvering the concrete world. It sounds that
abstraction rules over concrete.
Thoughts are of two kinds. One is material, the other one
is mystic, though sounds mysterious. Material thought
stems from matter, culminates in reshaping matter-
energy complex and ultimately dumped down in matter. In
material thought nothing matters except matter. The
other set of thoughts buds within the deeper recesses of
human consciousness. Human conscious does not accept
itself a part of temporal world. He takes ride on matter,
rules on matter and sometime ruled by lust for matter-
money-power triad but he never concludes himself a part
of matter. He regards himself apart from matter.
Embedded deep in the nexus of his thoughts, he assumes
himself immortal, though trapped within whirlpool of
mortal existence. He recognizes himself as creature but
at the same time he considers himself an ally to Creator;
though he may not justify himself as an image of God.
This very thought paves the way to self-realization.
Quest to know is unfathomable. To some, it ends up in
fathoming “how”, whereas to some it culminates in
wondering “who”. This transformation from “how” to
“who” turns a scientist into saint. A saint with his stalk of
"who" tries to peep into the Will ___ the ultimate plan of
Planner. Hence, lies the difference between Search and
Research. Research is matter oriented but search is
Being- oriented.
It is a shift in the order of preferences that make a
paradigm shift. Man of research silently plunges into
search. He research outer world and searches his inner
Self. You start a communication and you end up in
communion. Communion is communicating with self. Isn’t it
weird that you can recognize only one entity in this world
and ____that is You. You can hardly communicate with
anyone else other than You. It is indeed a great
revolution that sublimates “I” into “YOU”.
Scientist’s curiosity shape up the gadget of "how"____
this intellectual gadget keeps on piercing matter, energy
black-hole and even big-bang. Whereas wanderer of
“Who” sooner or later comes across the frontiers of
religion, ethics and morality. For a saint morality, ethics
and religion is as important a field as mathematic, physics
or chemistry.
Awareness that Right is mightier than might stems from
this very mystical thinking.

“Everyone should feel in his heart the urge to serve the

nation. Urge derives from intention, and intention
involves a type of knowledge. Then there is an action
corresponding to this knowledge, and for each action
there is a field of action. If in the field of action, those
engaged in action are people of good intentions, it will end
well. But if fellow-travellers are not fellow thinkers,

 Clarification on Ulul Albab
To: MOHAMMAD IMRAN KHAN
Dear Imran Sb!

aoa!
Today, I studied your article cum letter in very detail; I
must agree, many of your points are quite stunning ( so
why shouldn't I take stress!! ). You are right
that Mefil's collective decorum is different, where much
cannot be discussed regarding this topic, which is an
essential specialty of yours!
In Muslim Era of Science, in fact every "scientist" was
essentially a Sufi. We read in history that "Chemistry"
‫کیمیا‬
and Medicine ( ‫)طب‬, was a part and parcel of every Sufi's
syllabus. Even today we encounter many Sufis who have a
keen interest of ‫ حکمت‬، ‫ پیتھی ہومیو اور طب‬, to relieve the
suffering and ailing fellowmen. So I may conclude that
the way to be an ‫اولوالباب‬, is through Taswwuff, and may
not be through enrollment in Oxford and Ohio
University. If we read further after the ayat of
Ulul.albaab, the characteristics of Ulul.Albaab matches
exactly those of typical Sufi/ Saints ( Ale-Imran verse #
190-198).
In short what you are studying is right, what you are
thinking, you are thinking in right direction.As we have
discussed, in our last face to face meeting during your
visit to Lahore:" you must not stop your work even if you
get something more refined; because what you are
writing is going to help those who will follow you"
Thank you very much for sharing what you are thinking.

To: dr.azharwaheed@gmail.com
Dear Dr Saheb, aoa,
The discussion helps me a lot to understand properly the

Sufi Perspective of the Divine order, in the clear
definitions of the Quranic words.
As you very rightly pointed and explained the meaning of

the word Ulul Albab is basically a spiritual journey of an
Individual.
I had translated from Dil Darya Sumandar before which

sums up the argument I am trying to find out and
understand how the two can be amalgamated , with
reference to the Saheb Zikr and Saheb Fikr in one word
of Quran that is Ulul Albab.

However discussing with you brings a lot of new ideas to

my mind, and one being that since science has made an
illegal Qabza on Nature, whose detail whether in a DNA,
OR RNA, is written by God, and not because of a
scientist. The scientist only reads in finer detail having
the instruments of microscope, telescope etc. The word
scientist should be slowly changed to Ulul Albab. Who
made the seed and its cells and the DNA inside not the
scientist, it is the Qabza group, or modern English west,
not reading the Quran is describing the Divine book of
nature. For God gives His instructions according to His
plan, there is hardly a few verses in the Bible highlighting
nature, but the Quran is full of them. Ibn Rushd also
called Averroes in the west was to highlight the
obligatory duty to study the Divine book of nature in the
11 century, and many more Muslim scholars did that
including Ibn Jaber, Ibn Haitham, etc, when he says in
his book.
The Law commands such a study.
That the Law summons to reflection on beings, and the
pursuit of knowledge about them, by the intellect is clear
from several verses of the Book of God, Blessed and
Exalted, such as the saying of the Exalted, "Reflect, you
have vision:" (fix, 2)* this is textual authority for the
obligation to use intellectual reasoning, or a combination
of intellectual and legal reasoning. Another example is His
saying, "Have they not studied the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth, and whatever things God has
created?" (viii, 185): this is a text urging the study of
the totality of beings. Again, God the Exalted has taught
that one of those whom He singularly honoured by this
knowledge was Abraham, peace on him, for the Exalted
said, "So we made Abraham see the kingdom of the
heavens and the earth, that he might be" [and so on to
the end of the verse] (vi, 75). The Exalted also said, "Do
they not observe the camels, how they have been
created, and the sky, how it has been raised up?"
(lxxxviii, 17-18), and He said, "and they give thought to
the creation of the heavens and the earth" (iii, 191), and
so on in countless other verses.
This study must be conducted in the best manner, by
demonstrative reasoning.
Since it has now been established that the Law has
rendered obligatory the study of beings by the intellect,
and reflection on them, and since reflection is nothing
more than inference and drawing out of the unknown
from the known, and since this is reasoning or at any rate
done by reasoning, therefore we are under an obligation
to carry on our study of beings by intellectual reasoning.
It is further evident that this manner of study, to which
the Law summons and urges, is the most perfect kind of
study using the most perfect kind of reasoning; and this
is the kind called "demonstration."
Newton was the first person in the west to realize that,

recently discovered papers of Newton have been found in
the last century where it is found he wrote more on
Revelation then science, but was afraid that the Pope
would condemn him, as he believed in one God and not
trinity.
As to your apprehension that basing Quran on science can

be fraught with mistakes, as science continuously
changes, I would add that some things do not change like
the things made by God , example could be the periodic
table, the Helix in the DNA. (Also verified by the
microscope). We can refine this knowledge but the basic
remains the same, so I am trying to find example of
creation in nature because of the Supreme being.
The only modern scientist who approaches the subject as
a Wahadat is David Bohm a quantum physicist. He says
the Universe is a whole entity, it is our way of thinking in
the past few centuries that has given us this habit of
breaking into parts. Quantum physics is a very interesting
subject with roots in the wholeness of the universe,
example being if we give a spin to an electron in the
clockwise direction on the earth in a laboratory , an
electron at the end or edge of the universe will spin in
the opposite direction, though the distance between the
two is infinite. As a wave connects the two, although
Einstein said nothing can travel faster then the speed of
light. But this phenomenon is beyond understanding.
Another interesting property of Quantum mechanics is

the coherence principle in which a light photon or any
particle of matter can be in more than one place at the
same time. Beyond comprehension of Newtonian physics.
These assertions of quantum physics in the realm and

domain of metaphysics do tender to scientism and
speculation, and at times appear apologetic but a verse
from the Quran speak of Allah (swt) encompassing the
heavens and the earth with His knowledge ILM.. And the
verses in the Divine book of nature as His words.
It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the

earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among
them so you may know that Allah is over all things
competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in
knowledge.
And (Ve people!). In the alternation of day and night and
whatever sustenance (that is water) God sent down from
the sky and then with that water gave life to the earth
that had died, and in the change of the winds from one
side to the other, are (hundreds of) Signs (directives)
for a people which possesses wisdom
(Ve Muhammad)l These Ayaat which We are rehearsing to

Words of God and His Signs (deduced from Nature). 24
Quran (45:1-7).
Here whole communities of those who reflect and ponder
on the Signs in nature are called people of wisdom and
intellect. And that Allah(swt) has encompassed all things
in knowledge.
As to the nature of this Divine ILM, Quran is the best

guide, with the verses.
And pursue not that
Of which thou hast
No knowledge; for

Or of seeing,
(On the day of Reckoning). Quran 17:36.

these senses, in the realm of the seen or the unseen,
does not constitute Knowledge. With the exception of
God, his angels, the knowledge of ‘Nafs’ Arabic for soul,
Ruh and what He hides from His creation. Here it may be
argued that knowledge of the Divine is unlimited and the
knowledge given to its creation is limited. In the following
verse again Allah(swt) speaks about the inquiry in to His
being, with knowledge ILM.
and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute
about Allah, without knowledge and without guidance, and
without a Book to enlighten them!
Dr Saheb please do not take any stress, as I am

interested in this topic will keep on updating, so we
periodically discuss, not upsetting the mehfil. As I do not
want to interrupt the general syllabus which is the whole
the Marifah e Alaihi, but also try to understand the
proper use of the word ILM. Because if we isolate the
above verses the meaning of ILM though true because of
Quran has to be studied in detail. As you mention to
understand the verses check a few verses before and a
few verses afterwards which is the correct way of
finding the meanings . Since I tried to use the above
definition of ILM for 30 years, in isolation and did not
know anything about Irfan I did not get any benefit. So
ILM has to be connected with Marifah.
On the word science I quote from an article.
'Until about 1832, when it first seems to have become

established as a noun and a concept, the term “scientist”
had no really independent meaning. “Science” meant
“knowledge” in much the same way as “physic” meant
medicine, and those who conducted experiments or
organized field expeditions or managed laboratories were
known as “natural philosophers.” To these gentlemen (for
they were mainly gentlemen) the belief in a divine
presence or inspiration was often merely assumed to be a
part of the natural order, in rather the same way as it
was assumed—or actually insisted upon—that a teacher
at Cambridge University swear an oath to be an ordained
Christian minister. For Sir Isaac Newton—an enthusiastic
alchemist, a despiser of the doctrine of the Trinity, and
a fanatical anti-Papist—the main clues to the cosmos
were to be found in Scripture. Joseph Priestley,
discoverer of oxygen, was a devout Unitarian as well as a
believer in the phlogiston theory.'

Dear Imran Sb!

I read this transcription and believe me , it created a
spell on me. I wondered what delicate points we were
discussing, taking it just a casual talk. This
description transferred me in a spiritual ecstasy (
kaifiyyat). I have no words to thank you......
May Allah Almighty bless you with what you seek...... with

The journey of a Salik traveler constitutes in activating

the miracle of consciousness to higher levels, a gift
endowed on the human beings only, to their union with the
Ultimate Consciousness.
This journey for the sake of correct directions and

stability has, to have a Director of Consciousness, an
‘Ulul Amr’.This author was endowed with the blessing’s
of God the most High, Mighty and Wise in the personality
of Dr Azhar Waheed, his own speech is translated from
Urdu to English in the end of this treatise.
And the Shaykh of Dr Azhar Waheed remarks in Qatra

Qatra Qulzum translated into English.
“An eye which is able to see a multitude of stars

simultaneously is unable to see itself. Shaykh is the
mirror who introduces us to ourselves. It is possible that
a thing which makes us feel happy today could turn out to
be an agony tomorrow, and a thing which we are lamenting
upon today could be a source of blessing tomorrow. A
Shaykh corrects our liking and disliking for us, and with
love makes the path of Deen easy. A Murshid can correct
us even without speaking.” Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A.
Expressed in what Afzaal Ahmed writes about in the life
of Hazrat Mohammad Iqbal R.A.
Iqbal’s approach to the Qur’an is thoroughly experiential-

firmly grounded in his life-long practice of reciting the
Qur’an and pondering upon its meanings. In this living
relationship, Iqbal posed questions to the Qur’an and
received answers that not only challenged him but also
shaped and directed the yearnings of his soul. In
traditional Islamic terms, Iqbal’s approach to the Qur’an
was based on personal realization and insight (tahqiq) as
opposed to conformity to authoritative teachings or
interpretations (taqlid).
As everyone is not endowed with the intellect or the time

to make Qura’n, a book of Tahqiq as opposed to Taqlid,
this Tahqiq is undertaken in the lives of the esteemed
personalities as mentioned in reference to the Persian
couplet.
‘Bandah e Momin Z Ayaat e Khuda Assat.’ Who have

travelled this path of self-knowledge and Taskiyah e
Nafs.
I would add to this the example of Dr Israr Ahmed R.A in

his knowledge and teaching’s on what constitutes
tasawwuf.
‘The conclusion of this argument has to return to the
points that were made at the very outset. As far as the
objectives and goals of tasawwuf are concerned, these
are in full agreement with Islamic teachings. To put the
matter more bluntly, the objectives and goals of
tasawwuf are in fact the very core, the essence, and the
spirit of Islam. significantly Islam.However, during the
course of Muslim history, Sufi thought and practice has
deviated from the Prophetic model in terms of the exact
methodology to attain these objectives. A critical and
objective academic study of Sufism and its comparison to
the Prophetic life sufficiently illustrates this point.
And again,
It has been noted that Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab

(RA) is the most notable example of an individual who
manifests aversion towards tasawwuf. However, I still
include him among the reformers of Islam. Muhammad bin
Abdul Wahhab (RA) made significant headway in purging
the religious practices and beliefs of the Muslims in the
Arabian Peninsula of innovative and un-Islamic elements.
He also eradicated many of the un-Islamic cultural norms
that had taken on the veneer of religiosity among the
Arabs. It must also be acknowledged that he made
significant achievements in presenting an authentic and
purified version of the exoteric and ritualistic dimension
of Islam. Therefore, he must be included among the
reformers of the Muslim Ummah. However, if we compare
his accomplishments to his Indian contemporary, Shah
Waliullah Delhvi (RA), it is obvious that there is no
comparison between the two. Shah Waliullah
accomplished at both the esoteric and exoteric level
what Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab (RA) could only
achieve at the exoteric level. Shah Waliullah’s work in
philosophy,
spirituality, and social thought is unparalleled by any
other thinker from either the classical or the medieval
age of Islam. In other words, the work and personality of
ShahWaliullah (RA) is much more holistic, integrated, and
profound than that of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab
(RA).
Dr Azhar remarks ‘Transformation by acquiring the

habit of pardoning people, one sided, the person you are
pardoning both of you are at the same level, status as far
humanity is concerned, one who is forgiven thinks you are
a fool. Given to sharing food, wealth, time, and effort.’
An impression William James tries to give when he
remarks.
‘Other revelations are described as "openings" -- Fox’s,

for example, were evidently of the kind known in
spiritistic circles of today as "impressions." As all
effective initiators of change must needs live to some
degree upon this psychopathic level of sudden perception
or conviction of new truth, or of impulse to action so
obsessive that it must be worked off, I will say nothing
more about so very common a phenomenon’.
‘When, in addition to these phenomena of inspiration, we

take religious mysticism into the account, when we recall
the striking and sudden unifications of a discordant self
which we saw in conversion, and when we review the
extravagant obsessions of tenderness, purity, and self-
severity met with in saintliness, we cannot, I think, avoid
the conclusion that in religion we have a department of
human nature with unusually close relations to the
transmarginal or subliminal region. If the word
"subliminal" is offensive to any of you, as smelling too
much of psychical research or other aberrations, call it
by any other name you please, to distinguish it from the
level of full sunlit consciousness. Call this latter the A-
region of personality, if you care to, and call the other
the B-region’.
This diversity in the creation of the universe, a
mechanism for creating order out of chaos, as is the
creation of everything in pairs, is a source of faith and
disbelief, faith for those who have been blessed with a
true guide in a parent a mother a father, a teacher, a
friend accordingly as one who is in search of this Reality,
a Reality which is beyond reason, beyond physics, which
reciprocates to the yearning’s of the broken hearted, the
down trodden, the weak and the poor , the pale and the
unworthy, in the tear’s of the huddled masses, those who
share their food, even themselves going hungry with
those they consider human and not Rich or Poor, Jews or
Christians, Muslims or Hindus, Whites or Blacks, Yellow
or Browns but people of God. Who’s Mercy and Blessings
are showered on those who seek Him in the middle of the
night and early morning hours of dawn, with love and
seldom with reasoning and logic, though the seeker is
encouraged, to study and watch the splendor and
grandeur of the majesty of the Creator, in this grand
symphony we call the Cosmos, a symphony elaborated in
His book the Qur’an and its extension the Cosmos:
The revelation of the Book (this Quran) is from Allah,

the All-Mighty, and the All-Wise.
Verily, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the
believers.
‘The first khayal or prompting of the soul will be the

right one.’
‘The second prompting of the heart will be doubt.’
‘The enlargement of the spiritual heart is achieved by

leaving worldly desires (material needs).’
Test of an enlarge heart.
1. How you treat a guest.
2. Treatment of a guest with generosity, big heart and
patience.
And in the life and teaching’s of the last Prophet
Mohammad (On whom God and the angels are constantly
sending their Blessings, asking the humans to do the
same) one who called all the previous Prophets his
brother’s, culminating in the teaching and practices of
what his brother Abraham saw in the movements of stars
and the appearance of the sun, the depth of the Cosmos,
where entire galaxies are born out of chaos, seed’s in the
quantum fluctuation’s, the birth of the universe, evolving
and maturing to create the dwelling’s, the hanging
garden’s of ‘Samawat’ without pillar’s that we can see’,
full of intelligent beings scattered across, the vast and
nightingale singing universe in praise of the Lord of the
World’s , Who’s Majestic Throne encompasses this entire
unfolding, having started with the Big Bang, and continues
in the ever new and expanding creations, are encouraged
to find the sacred and the scientific in the, alternation
of night and day, the movement of the clouds, high above
bringing rain to the dead earth, mandating reflection on
the creation of camels, and in the diversity observed in
the color of plants, animals and humans, of streaks of red
and black in the mountains, that this study of the Noble
book of nature,we recently started calling the study of
science, forgetting the Creator Himself and the purpose
in creation,
Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the
Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and
the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them,
if it is Him ye wish to serve.
We must revert back to remembering Allah the Almighty,

while standing, sitting and lying down, reciting His names
at all times ,while contemplating the structure of the
heavens and the earth, in the process using a radio
telescope, or an electron microscope, or a Hubble
telescope, to finding a Purpose in life, with praying from
the agony of Hell fire, as being a straight path the
Seerat e Mustaqeem.
For it is these Abd (servants) engaged in such endeavors,

the men and women of understanding that Almighty Lord
of the Heavens and the Earth without blemish calls as
the rightly guided, on whom His Blessing and Rewards,
flow in abundance.
Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to
Allah, works righteousness, and says, "I am of those who
bow in Islam"?
The one who starts to write his own book, a book of his
deeds, in the path of the righteous, is described by
Muhammad Iqbal R.A.
Yeh raaz kaise ko nahi maloom ka Momin

Nazar ataa hai Qari haqeeqat meen hai Quran
This mystery is not known to any,

A Momin who appears to be a Qari,
In actuality is the Quran.
As the Quran says
They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,

And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying
for Forgiveness;
And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered)

the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for
some reason) was prevented (from asking).
In the earth there is evidence (of the Truth) for those

who have strong faith.
There is also evidence of the Truth within your own

selves. Will you then not see?
And in the heaven is your provision, and that which you
are promised.
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very

Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently
to each other.

Eloquently described in the following verses, in reflecting
on the universe, and acquiring scientific power, along with
obtaining spiritual training.

This fusion of the ‘study of heavens and earth’ and

acquiring ‘Taqwa’ in its highest form is only possible
through the inner transformation of the mystical

The three sources of Knowledge in Quran is eloquently

defined/combined in the verses of Sura Al
Jathiyaah, Sura Al Qaf, Sura Al Fajr, and Sura Al
Insan. However a fourth source, repeatedly alluded to in
the Quran is the Hereafter, and the numerous knowledge
yielding verses, therewith inciting humans, how to act in
this world in a certain way, to reap the rewards, in
that everlasting life.
JazakAllah Khair.
Quran stresses the importance of knowledge (Ilm ), and those

pursuing natural phenomena as men and women of knowledge
(Alamoon) , fearing God the most in the following verses
Seest thou not that

Of various colours.
And so amongst men
Among His Servants,
Allah Almighty grants guidance through the divine books of

revelation starting with Torah, Psalms, Bible and the Quran. All an
endeavor for the personal development of a human from instincts
acquired through evolution, to a balanced middle way, being
waylaid by the fellow traveler to Satan and his friends in this
movement towards the Almighty. Every moment riddled by a
conglomerate of ideas, even the scholars reading the Divine
message, as sectional and mutually exclusive.
This discourse is further elaborated in the following verses

Quran 2:255.
And warning destruction if humans astray.
Do they not look in the dominion of the Samawate (heavens) and
the Ardh(earth) and all things that Allah has created, and that it
may be that the end of their lives is near? In what message after
this will they then believe?
Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson pointing to the ever present danger of
the human species being wiped out by a catastrophic event, to the
architect of evolution, the co-discoverer Dr Alfred Russel
Wallace assigning an Intelligent Power.
Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful constantly
creating and sustaining, the universe and earth with His seen and
unseen blessings accordingly as to the needs of the recipient and
its evolving form, created from nothing to an onward stage in its
evolution called the order out of chaos in the life of an individual,
a community and the universe. The word of Allah (Kalimat Allah,
embedded as the unity of the universe/ body/

and earth, the alternation of night and day, the remembrances of
God, while standing, sitting and lying, finding laws of nature with
understanding a purpose in life, to asking forgiveness from the
fire.
Finding laws of nature in the universe, or Ilm (science)
constitutes only a part of the whole Islamic cosmology.

Dear Shaykh Abdal Hakim,
Asaalam o Alaikum,
A few years ago in 2012 , one evening in Ramadhan , while being stripped of everything,
both material and spiritual, I had a vision or a dream, and you were the first one to
confirm it...Alhamad u Lillah, my journey continues.. May Allah Subhana-hu give you the
maqam, the Creator has envisioned for you..
Attached above is a Facebook page on the few things, have done so far...
My thesis if you can so call it, is to bring the effort of the Academia to the common
man, or the new journey which includes Kalam argument both equipped with Science
and Technology and If Sultan can get into your hands then you can pierce the
heavens..Javed Nama Allama Iqbal...Or propagating the Kalam argument, to those
arriving in the mosque...still waiting once the Cambridge mosque is completed to install
the telescope both Optical and Radio.(have found some inexpensive way to make
them..)
My approach or steps, is 1. Go the Mosque.2. Attract attention by offering a free

telescope.3. Starting the dialogue on Kalam, subsequently giving them time to assimilate
each step.
Best Regards,
Imran.
P.S Kindly do not think I am propagating my self but an IDEA.
Cambridge Muslim College paper:
Kal¥m was further classified into jalÏl al-kal¥m and daqÏq al-kal¥m. The
former is the part dealing with problems related to the divine attributes,
the resurrection of the dead, and the questions which relate to the divine
knowledge, will, and power. These subjects lead on to the question of human
free will, as held by one school of kal¥m, and the counterproposal of self-
acquisition (kasb) of actions that was suggested by another school. By
contrast, daqÏq al-kal¥m deals with problems of natural philosophy, most
prominent among which is the question DaqÏq al-Kal¥m: A Basis for an
Islamic Philosophy of Science M.B. Altaie Professor of Cosmology and Head
of the Department of Physics, Yarmouk University, 21163, Irbid, Jordan.
cmc papers no.4 - 2 - DaqÏq al-Kal¥m: A Basis for an Islamic Philosophy of
Science cmc papers no.4 briefly through some vital problems where I feel
some genuine research work needs to be done in order to identify the
possible scope for deploying kal¥m in the contemporary science-religion
dialogue. Reasons for the rise of kal®m Historically, one can say that two
basic motivations drove the emergence of kal¥m. The first was internal:
different opinions expressed by Muslim theologians on the fate of sinners
initiated an argument that proceeded to develop into a whole tradition of
thought. For example some theologians suggested that a Muslim sinner is a
nonbeliever and should be considered k¥fir (one who negates Islamic belief).
Other theologians suggested that he should be considered only ‘corrupt’
(f¥siq), a technical middle position which lay between the status of k¥fir and
believer. The second reason for kal¥m’s emergence was the reaction of the
Muslims to the new ideas and thoughts they faced when they came into
contact with different nations and civilizations, particularly the classical
Mediterranean and the Indic. This contact, at a time when Muslims were the
dominating power in the world, created a ‘dialogue between civilizations’
rather than a ‘clash of civilizations’. It is unfortunate and disappointing that
humanity in our time, thirteen centuries after that great experience, now
feels that it exists only in a state of clash between civilizations, as
articulated by the American strategist Samuel Huntington. The two main
schools of kal®m The mutakallim‰n (the doctors of kal¥m) formed two
main schools: the Mu¢tazilites, who were the first to be formed, and the
Ash¢arites. Prominent leaders of the Mu¢tazilite school included W¥|il ibn
¢A~¥’ (d. 748), ¢Amr ibn ¢Ubayd (d. 761), Abu’lHudhayl al-¢All¥f (d. 840),
Ibr¥hÏm alNa··¥m(d. 835), and al-J¥^i· (d. 868). Most of the original
contributions of the leaders of kal¥m have been lost, but some of their of
the creation of the world, its structure, temporal development, and the
meaning of causality. This entails discussions of the concepts of space, time,
motion, force, and many other aspects of the physical world. Using Ian
Barbour’s terminology one might say that jalÏl al-kal¥m could be called
‘natural theology’ whereas daqÏq al-kal¥m is the ‘theology of nature.’1
Despite the fact that the subject of daqÏq alkal¥m has been somewhat
neglected, I feel that this trend has much to offer to the fields of natural
philosophy and the contemporary arguments in the debate between science
and religion, and therefore is well worth studying. It will be shown that
daqÏq al-kal¥m can provide the basis for a contemporary philosophy of
science which resolves many of the philosophical questions raised by modern
physics. Many of the arguments of daqÏq alkal¥m are still living and have
sound value in contemporary science and the philosophy of modern science.
The ‘kal¥m cosmological argument’ which was re-devised by William Craig2 is
just one contemporary example in a whole field of ideas, concepts, and
arguments that could be utilized by modern philosophers of science.
However, the subject is in such a state now that it cannot lend itself to an
effective role unless it is first purified, reformulated and harmonized to fit
the categories of modern philosophy. Much work and painstaking effort must
be expended before daqÏq al-kal¥m is fit for a contemporary role...Dr M.B
Altaie.

Aslaam'alaykum warahmatu_llah Sidi Abu Faydan,
My question is can you help me understand the 'Mathnavi'

of Maulana Jalal ud Rumi (May Allah Subhana-hu peace
and blessings be upon him), if and ever you get time from
your very hectic schedule, short answers..to my long
questions..as I started reading for the first time in my
life, a translation in Urdu my language the Mathnavi
originally in Persian by by Qazi Sajjad Hussain , since I
do not understand Persian, maybe only those words
common to Urdu.
Once one is brought from the depth of darkness a Light

shines up, but sometimes the recipient is too, insensitive
or does not have the right training, the self purification
to access, what a Shaykh is trying to narrate, things
connected to me , himself to somewhere else. What is
this somewhere? , and how a beginner can access it.
?
I hope the Mathnavi will solve a lot of my problems, but

kindly can I ask you, if I do not understand
something, ask you questions on the Mathnavi ? Promise
not to bother you often.
All the trades were brought by Wahy, later that

intellect contributed to them...Maulana..
I have read the Mystics in Islam by R.A Nicholson. And

some of Rene Guenon writings.
Sorry I wrote a lot things together, no the Creator did

not speak to me directly by Hearing His voice as He does
to some of His chosen ones. Only a vision unlike any in my
life, since or after. If Allah spoke to me directly as you
say, then why I did not hear any sound? Forgive me even
though I have been a salek for many years now 4, after
that vision , I cannot comprehend well when it comes to
the matter of the Hidden Jewel. Since whoever I ask
have different answers. One of them told me it is a
passing phase do not think much, as also during this time,
while half sleep I had a light shine, coming through my
head going down as verifying something. Trust me Sidi, as
you are from the people of Rijal, I am not schizophrenic,
but instead highly skeptical, being a physicist. Where has
this life taken me to, not resting, and thinking of the
Creator all the times. Trying to balance in giving time to
remembrance..Zikr and intellect Fikr. Unable to do so
often.
You have very rightly pointed in the topic of Evolution,

self purification precedes intellect. Otherwise the
following verses of the Quran become applicable.
And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have

believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muhammad],
would you compel the people in order that they become
believers?
No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He

understand.
Say, "Observe what is in the heavens and earth." But

of no avail will be signs or warners to a people who do not
believe
One might be religious and thinking him being to rightly

guided without Tazkiya amounts no nothing...however one
searches the heavens and the earth.
As I had been reflecting all my life since I had promised

Allah on the verses 3:190-91, later joining a scientific
institute in Islamabad, but never went through the
process of self purification or did not know about it, even
while having the privilege of sitting with Baba Nur Wala
on infantry road Lahore, almost 1974-76 for two years
guess my journey has seen me through, to a purpose
understood now. A relative of mine Ashafque Ahmed
though elder to me, used to sit along with with me and my
father who took me to the Baba ji , listening to Baba Nur
Wala and writing 'Manchala ka Sauda' I have translated
some of his writing.
This was one of the questions, I had who gave me this

vision? Allah or a wali? Sometimes I think was it Sidi
Abdal Hakim to whom I was connected through my emails
praying for me. Some of the Sufia though definitely
working 'karamaats" stress to much on the Shakyh at the
expanse of the Creator, kind of hard to understand, as
Beiznillah stops for some, its them and Wahadat Ul
Wajud hard to understand again, if union takes place and
one dies before death who do we trust the Shaykh or the
Creator.
Can you kindly explain more when you say:It is Allah, who
spoke to you directly in those two ayat, and so they
became so significant for you in the first place, and then
He reconfirmed it once more in the vision you were
granted.
Sorry I have taken too long.
Ma' Salamaah.
Imran.
P:S I have many questions as one of my emails will show,
as I proceed on the path of the Salek...
Dr Martin Lings a.k.a Abu Bakr Siraj Ad-Din, claims

Quranic authenticity for Sufism in the word Ulul Albaab
from the above ayaat.
I am not any important personality nor wish to be, wish

would have been a piece of dust, nor I am claiming any
special knowledge, but glad to have taken the first step
towards the mentor, who is himself in a wahadat. For me
wahadat is a theoretical thing for you a unison.
So where is the paradox, ILM, FALSAFA, LOGIC is

sacrificed at the altar of Marifah e Bare Tala, through
the attention of the mentor. Mentor probably can
(another theoretical observation ), initiate this marifah
leading to the wahadat, which you wrote before diversity
to unity.
This journey from Qal to Hal under the strict scrutiny of

the mentor, makes me hard to understand the Ulul
Albaab, a person with a purified heart( Lub )reflecting
on the creation, and not only seeing the creation but
working towards it, with help of the more than 750 ayaat
of the Qur'an.
How to conjoin the two pedestal of the Walayah, with and

the pedestal of the Ulul Albaab. Which is more
important?
The Sufi path will be unbalanced if this chain is broken

with new concepts according to the mentor, the student
understand that, and following the example of the
Prophet sallallahu Alahi walaihi wassllam, where he sowed
the seeds of a warrior practicing warfare, with the
ashaab e suffah reflecting on the Quran and face of
Rahmat ul Alamain.
So each group assigned a different task. So the task of

the mentor is to lead his student to the ways of the
Prophet peace and blessing be upon him.
Allama Iqbal r.a has been criticized by Baba je in one of

his guftagoo, fine a Qalander can evaluate a Qalander.,
now another problem the student does not know the
maqam of them both and the mentor, since only doing a
theoretical research, but getting some hints and tips in
bits and pieces from the mentor.
So if everything is through the mentor, at his own pace

or the pace from somewhere else, as I translated your
guftagoo. Iqbal r.a should be read from his end of life
backwards, or only the end of his life.
Some criticize the claimant of too much tahweed for
Qabar parasti, calling Ya rasool Allah, nida and dua. Dr
Saheb religion is not easy like the study of nature, one
does not at least fall into error by research in nature,
and face fire. Sovereignty belong to Allah and none else.
When a mentor becomes an ayaah of God, that is
understood only being close. Distances are a hurdle. The
status of Aulia Allah is not easy to understand for
a person of logic, lucky are those who follow blindly in
fact a blessing of the Creator. Everything in this universe
is a manifestation of Kun.
Am I writing contradictory statements perhaps still

confused. A mentor is one of the most intelligent not to
know the difference between shirk, knowing full well the
consequences, but being at the pedestal where all, or
most of the Hijab are lifted, a student not being at that
pedestal does not understand, the Wali, Qalandar or the
Qutb. I have experienced some of them and amazed. Wali
can only be understood in the real sense by another Wali
having gone through the same experiences, for me it is
psychological state not knowing what is happening to me,
but something?
I was debating with Allah swt, asking him mujizaat he

showed me many, as some say mujizaat are only for
Prophet so I can call them what I DO NOT KNOW, once
I prayed Allah I do not believe in you 100 percent the
next I day got another life. Even in the depth of
darkness he took care of me, while I became defiant,
AstagfaruAllah.

Wa 'alaykum salam warahmatu_llah Sidi Muhammad
Imran.
I hope you are well inwardly and outwardly.
Thank you for your mail, and your trust, making me privy
to your journey.
But what is your question?
It is Allah, who spoke to you directly in those two ayat,
and so they became so significant for you in the first
place, and then He reconfirmed it once more in the vision
you were granted.
Do not make the mistake of asking Him for a miracle

again to confirm you, but rather fortify your iman and
trust and husnu thann of Him, by rigorously rejecting any
doubt that Shaytan may try to get at you with through
your mind.
With love & du'a

af
Fine balance in the Universe:

It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and [also]
the balance. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps
the Hour is near.
By hour we mean the collapse of time and space of the

fabric of the cosmos so finely tuned as to defy logic.
Is this collapse a local phenomenon or universal? Balanced

to a precision which if studied by modern day scientific
instruments point to an accuracy able to sustain not by
chance, but by an intelligence able to outsmart and out
maneuver chance.

Dear Brother Dr Abdal Hakim Murad,
Asaalam o Alaikum,
It has been a while have not communicated with you, I

keep on writing my essay on men and women of
understanding Ulul Albaab.
DEFINITION AND CORRECT MEANINGS OF THE
WORD (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬.
ْ
Qur'an does render the correct premises in the

word, (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ a title granted by none other than the
Creator and Sustainer Allah (swt) Himself, Lord of the
seen and unseen, as the epitome of all understanding,
modern scientism, excludes domains of experience
beyond sense perception, limits human intellect (Aql ) in
its search of the Providence. The unity of the message of
Qur'an for men and women of understanding is in essence
the oneness of God.(Tawhid). It is not preordained for it
can lead to shirk, but an actualization of the self or ego
achieved in the hearts of the (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ by the Grace and
Will of Allah (swt). The two acts of this Will of the
Almighty, the inward (Batin) and the outward (Zahir),
the Creator of things in pairs is reflected by theRuh of
the insane al kamil, the divine vicegerent (naib). As the
definition of the word (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ِْولُوا‬
ْ symbolizes. Leading to
the hadith of the Prophet of Islam, ‘Takhallaqu bi-akhlaq
Allah’, ‘Create in yourself the attributes of God.’
Fortified with.
1. Tawhid
and that they may know that He is theonly One Ilah (God
- Allah) - (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah),
and that Ulul Albab( men and women of understanding)
may take heed.
2. Hikmah

Albab (men and women of understanding.)7
3. Two kinds of verses in the Quran. A) Have clear

meanings. B) Having hidden meanings or not yet
understood because knowledge has not advanced to that
level.
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are
verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning);
they are the foundation of the Book: others are
allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow
the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and
searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its
hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly
grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the
whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the
Message except Ulul Albab (men and women of
understanding).
4. Endowed with Knowledge and Taqwa , without pride,

and false ego, choose the right meaning of the words.
For Quran warns those who invent false Hadith, or words

in the following verse.
But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales,
without knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from
the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on the Path): for
such there will be a Humiliating Penalty.
5. Revelations (Hadith, words of Allah) in the divine book

of nature and the divine books revealed to the Prophets.

And the alternation
Of Night and Day

I have extended Ulul Albaab from 3:189:200 as
suggested by Dr Azhar my mentor, as he says this gives
the whole process that a Sufi who is also a naturalist
goes through. And read the ayaahs in their whole
context.
And I pointed out to him have we ever noticed when

Qur'an gives an authentication of women or female as
also included in the Ulul Albaab, as my mentor is kind of
patriarchal.
When Allah Subhana-hu says,
Yusuf Ali: And their Lord hath accepted of them, and

answered them: "Never will I suffer to be lost the work
of any of you, be he male or female: Ye are members, one
of another: Those who have left their homes, or been
driven out therefrom, or suffered harm in My Cause, or
fought or been slain,- verily, I will blot out from them
their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with rivers
flowing beneath;- A reward from the presence of Allah,
and from His presence is the best of rewards."
Male and Female if we consider the ayaah 3:189-200 not

doing a selective study but in the whole context. Female
too are Ulul Albaab, where our Talib (student back in
Pakistan, through all his sincerity misses this point in
Islamic Education.) in the process destroying girls
schools.
My mentor or Shaykh Dr Azhar Waheed also says,
Do not describe the vision or dream one has but to

describe its FAIZ.
But I still consider you the first person in the whole wide
world that I described my vision to the first time.
I have send Zaytuna college and their Dean Mr Mahan

Mirza a telescope as per your suggestion and last month
added a CCD camera to take pictures of the COSMOS.
Samawat wal Ardh and our Nafs together forms the
laboratory to see the ayaat of the Almighty Creator. Will
inshaAllah mail them to your when their Astronomy
department has a class in the spring semester only.
Bringing the naming rights back, I have named scientist

as Ulul Albaab, in my essay, which has grown so extensive
cannot email it any more.
Dear Shaykh, all this effort also includes Tazkia e nafs

please pray for me to have a pure heart, as the word Lub
signifies,if we read Arabic English Lexicon by William
Edward Lane describes as the choicest part or a purified
heart.
I have been in my discussion with my mentor pointed out

to this, he was adamant at first not understanding Ulul
Albaab, but after an effort of two years, we have come
to a mutual understanding, Ulul Albaab are in fact
Arafoons , and that Ulul Albaab is the potential nursery
in which waliyat is born or enriched. JazakAllah khair.
As my mentor used to stress on Kashf ul Majub sharif

only but I have convinced him, though that is the
fundamental book still in Islamic tasawwaff in Lahore
Pakistan, but Ulul Albaab should also be included in its
dictionary. In a lecture by Dr Martin Lings in Lahore in
2005 he pointed to the word Ulul Albaab as the Quranic
authentication of the word Sufi. And now listening to
your lectures on Islamic Education more closely today I
wondered am I rediscovering the wheel, the ones you
gave in Ft Lauder-dale Fl.
But reminds me of Dr Ali Shariati who said a genius

throws ideas down like a pyramid, captured by the
intellectuals, who then pass them on to the general
masses.
Though not claiming to be an intellect but just bouncing

your ideas. I have launched a vigorous campaign to
introduce the idea of Ulul Albaab in our mosque and
schools around, and writing flyers and handouts to
advertise Islamic Education as also stressed by you, in
your lectures.
As, I have also given or denoted books to Pak-Turk school

in Lahore, and trying to build a Radio Telescope in my
former alma-mater near Islamabad.
I, have talked to the mayor of the city of Sunrise in Ft

Lauder-dale to have a program to install telescopes and
use it as a meeting point for interfaith activity.
I keep on translating from Urdu to English the mehfil or

sangaat of my mentor Dr Azhar Waheed, as we have four
hour lecture by him every saturday on skype.
I am blessed by Almighty when a few years back I had

complained to you, I read the Quran without a guide. I
found Dr Azhar a Sufi scholar from Pakistan, but I
STILL do not understand the concept of Wahadat ul
Wajud, would go by the definition of Yusuf Ali for now ,
"Not everything is He but His is everything" as differing
from my mentor, who says according to his mentor
Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif r.a
"Wahadat ul Wajood is a mushaida" La majud Allah,

concepts difficult for me to understand at my present
state or station. I am a novice in taraiqah just peeping in
the class to get a glimpse.
Dr Azhar Waheed sahib Mehfil on 22-6-2013.
Question:- I have a question in my mind , I have read a

lot about it, asked many people this question, which is
why has the Khalaqa Kainat (Creator of the Universe)
arranged and created this whole Nizaam(system), a
question I have asked many and usually get a traditional
answer.
Answer: Let us view this question from a different angle,
although this is not an answer. If you note that when you
get into a relationship with someone, then the question of
asking how and why immaterializes. And if the
relationship is not developed or is in the stage of
developing, or the question of developing does not arises
at all, then the questions of how and why are infinite.
Why did you do this, why did you that. But if one gets
hold of the link to a relationship, then instead of asking
one starts to narrate and to answer. There is one
relationship between the Khaliq(Creator) and
the Makhlooq(created), and the other being a secular
relationship, which is relationship of the Creator with
every of His creation, with every being, with an ant , a
lion, but in the relationship with Insaan(human) there is
something special of what that has been communicated is
in the form of Quran e Pak. How and why, to ask the
questions there was by Insaan (human) and to reply there
was Insaan(human).
Let us read an Ayah,
In Arabic language Taa is used instead of Tuu, so using

Taa the word becomes Taluq , so the whole Ilm is tere
taluq ka naam, Your relationship.
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all

that exists),
Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated
blood).
There is a point created by the Sufia, yeh tera taluq hai,
this question you asked has another dimension, another
perspective, how did I arrive here, what is the meaning
of my being here, question is the same, the question is
being asked more decently , if we get answer to this
question we get answer to the others, in Quran it says
‘Do not ask, but instead you will be asked’ I usually ponder
what will be asked of us, like did you read the Quran, and
said yournamaz, but another question can also be asked in
this context is , did you in this vast world where from
besides Milton and Archimedes to Abu Ali Sina, Rumi and
Razi pondered on at their levels, did you also try to
discover yourself, who are you ?, where did you come
from?, what is your purpose?, if we see a graph paper,
and the four axis go into infinity. When we draw
anything on the graph we need a reference point, drawing
anything without a reference point will be meaningless,
unless a person considers himself as the reference point
and starts to find and make himself the reference point
and then the meaning of these questions of why, and
how start to unravel . The question is what is the Wajah
e Taqhleeq Kainaat? You will not get an answer to your
question from outside, like if you are working in a bank, I
as an outsider will ask what are these people doing from
morning to evening, keep on counting repeatedly like some
mad adventure. But those working in the bank a part of
the bank, know it is a very serious issue , like those
working in the World Bank, a little error in calculations
will cause great problems, a small discrepancy in counting
will be hazardous for the bank. So even to find
the Maqsad(purpose) you have to become a part of
this Nizam, those people who ponder on how the Creator
created this vast Nizam stretching into billions of years,
working effortlessly, reflecting how a child is born,
then one has to become a part of the Nizam e Qudrat of
the Khaliq consciously not academically butilmi and
consciously, in this respect the education given to us is
first enter Taslim then do Research , reach research
through Taslim, Iman is the syllabus of the heart, not of
logic, The question is what is the Wajah e Taqhleeq
Kainaat? We have to create Taluq first as its solves all
entanglement of the rope, do know the kuna, the root
cause for which we have to become first the part of the
Nizam ,then things will start to Ashkaar( unravel), like
while working in a bank the first we thing we do is
apprenticeship , although already having studied banking,
so instead of asking the Creator why and how He started
the creation, why everything has been created, first find
yourself finding a reference point in your own
self then all the drawings and maps will manifest on the
graph, we do not understand things because we try to
understand from a mantqi (reasoning) point of view, so
that we would be able to communicate to others, instead
of controlling the impulse to narrate to others, and
coming out of this impulse to tell others, instead of
deciding only to narrate to ourselves and understand only
ourselves and not to tell anyone else then we will see we
understand much more , usually when a person hears or
read he tries to rationalize, because if he has to tell
someone else then he should have logic, so if the human
instinct to rationalize and human intellect has a basic
instinct to rationalize is overcome for a short time , our
scenario and our aperture will open, like in a dream when
we are trying to understand or communicate, in a dream
we don’t have an impulse to communicate so in a dream we
understand much more. The filter of logic removes many
pearls of wisdom, and many pearls do not pass through
the filter, thinking as leftover a human throws them
away.
What is the better approach?
Answer: The better approach is to disregard the earlier
approaches written on ones mindset, that slate should be
cleaned, then in the state of acceptance (ba halaat e
tasleem) try to read whatever is being written by itself,
since whatever has already been written so far on our
mind has been written by some one else by others, on the
contrary what is in our slate we have written by our own
hands, the only book that is verifiable is the one which is
our own book.
Question: How can we clean the slate?
Answer: This question is very important of how to clean
the slate, this is a very easy and a very difficult way, if
one is in Tasleem of someone it is a matter of 2 minutes,
but if one does not come in Tasleem can become a
stupendous task of life. When one comes in Tasleem(
accepts) someone things become very easy, I will give you
my personal experience, when I came in the company of
Sarkar Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, I had read all the
philosophies of old Greece, Khalil Gibran, the Halqa
Arbab e Zauq , the critics gatherings, laden with all, but
it was miracle not my effort, miracle was his, when we
came in his trance, when he made us Tasleem , not saying
we came in Tasleem since we did not know, when and how
we came in Tasleem, it never came to the mind that this
point was discussed by this Sufi or that writer, also said
something like this, not coming in the developing stage, I
came when having read everything , so it was a
his Ijaz that all that was written , the heart and mind
came together , otherwise one says I am listening and
this is just one, of the many explanations this did not
happen. So this is the way of cleaning the slate, cleaning
the slate is a spiritual level and journey of all spiritual
matters and tasks start throughTasleem, bypassing the
contents of the Mind and the bypassing the mind is
accepting Tasleem. If we reflect on how big
the Haqiqat are the Angels, reward and punishment, Allah
Tala which do not come in our experience, but as soon we
come into Tasleem , we become of those Haqaiq, saying
salaam to the angels and getting wa alikum salaam. The
whole Ijaz is of Tasleem, getting in the domain
of Hadood e Haraam, when those who have not accepted
find a board, that says those not in Tasleem go this way,
only those with Tasleem go this way as the Hadood e
Haraam has come when we go to umra there is a board,
when coming into Muslim town about 35 miles ahead is a
board the rest are sent in the bypass, its all a story
of Tasleem , the cleaning of the slate is smaller event
, Tasleem does big events, so cleaning the slate is matter
of Tasleem with the brush of tasleem, eroding all other
brushes, as the saying goes, the pen was given , giving us
permission to write, whatever one want to write, example
when we come to a physician carrying many files, the
physician prescribes a certain medicine knowing what
medicine to prescribe , like in a spiritual prescription too
we work in a hit and trial method, going to different
doctors, and also having our own prescription,
so Taslim makes one focused, removing any torsion in
transmission.
What is the relationship between Tasleem and Mohabbat
is tasleem possible without
Thanking you for your patience.

"God made the world of the absent. It is the world of reason and corresponds to the salat
of the night. Its moment is from the absence of the evening glow to the rise of the
morning glow.
"He who performs the salat is whispering with his Lord." In this salat through the proofs
and demonstrations of Him given by the world of the absent, reason, and reflection. This
is a specific proving through a specific kind of knowledge, known by the Folk of the
Night. This is the salat of the lovers. The Folk of the Mysteries and Abstruse
knowledge's, those sheltered by the veils. God gives them knowledge's appropriate to this
moment in this world. This is the moment of the ascents of the prophets, the messengers,
and the mortal human spirits so as to see the imaginal signs of God and gain spiritual
nearness. It also the moment when God descends from the station of Sitting{ upon the
Throne] to the heaven closest to us for the sake of those who seek forgiveness, repent,
ask, and supplicate. So it is an eminent moment. When someone performs the night salat
in a gathering it is as if he has stood half the night."In this hadith
there is a fragrance for him who maintains that the last moment for saying this salat is
until the halfpoint of night. God made the world of imaginalization and the barzakh. It is
the descent of meanings within sensory forms, The meanings are not of the absent world,
because they have put on sensory forms, nor are they of the witnessed world, because
they are disengaged meaning and their manifestation within these forms is an accidental
affair that has happened to the perceiver, not to the meanings themselves. Here
knowledge is seen in the form of milk, religion in the form of a fetter, and faith in the
form of a handle. Among the moments for the salats, the barzakh is the moment of the
sunset and the morning salats, since neither of these moments belong to the night or the
daytime. They are two barzakhs between night and daytime on the two sides, since the
time of night and daytime is cyclic.
That is why God says, He wraps the night around the daytime and wraps the
daytime around the night, from the wrapping" of the turban. Each of the two hidden by
the manifestation of the other. Thus God said, He makes the night cover the day and in
the same way He makes the daytime cover the night. He who performs the salat is
whispering with his Lord" at this moment through the signifiers of God given by the
world of the barzakhs, in the self-disclosures, their constant variations, and the
transmutation within forms, as has reached us in the sound reports.
However, the barzakh reality of the sunset salat is the servant's emergence from the world
of the witnessed to the world of the absent. He passes by means of this odd-
numbered barzakh, and thereby he gains awareness of the mysteries of the acceptance of
the witnessed world by the absent world. This corresponds to sensation when it gives a
form to imagination.
My 0 cents, as it’s quite hard to understand Ibn Arabi, here is a guess.
A Specific kind of knowledge by which Ibn Arabi means, a knowledge delivered through
meditation in the magrib/isha prayers from the start of the evening
glow (barzkah between daylight and dark ) to the rise of morning glow Or could be
tahajud prayers only including Fajr.(barzakh again between a dark night and the early
morning).
When the heart is opened up to the proofs of God, by the world of absent ( do not know
what Ibn Arabi means by it, guess the world of the unseen/night time) sometimes by
opening up the pages of Quran, while in prayers, a veil gets lifted. Usually the ayah
opening up there meanings in a crystal clear comprehension, not understood, previously,
only in moments of a nightly vigil. This nearness to God, when a person gets guidance to
THE NEEDS of the moment, I guess means an indication to the direction which he
should travel or move towards in general. Example trying to build a scientific institute or
an Observatory, also containing books and audio visuals giving very clear
message/instructions on the role for Quran and Sunnah. So if we read Ibn Arabi in its
totality means the Isha prayers too, as he mentions it can be read up to midnight. (not
familiar with Shariah/Juriprudence/Fiqh). The meanings of the unseen world having put
on a sensory form.
Example : In the verses 25:53.
It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and
the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is
forbidden to be passed.
The viscosity, density and temperatures including the concentration of unsalted or sweet
water containing some nutrients, mixing with the salted of the ocean producing the effect,
producing an interface.
http://www.msc.ucla.edu/oceanglobe/pdf/densitysalinity/densityentire.pdf
"Thus, we use parts per thousand to express salinity). Salinities near shore vary due to the
addition of fresh water by rivers and rainfall. An estuary is a semi-enclosed body of water
where incoming seawater is diluted with fresh water coming from the land. Because of
differences in density between fresh and salt water, salt water will move upstream in the
estuary along the bottom, while fresh water will flow downstream along the surface.
Some mixing occurs at the interface where fresh and salt water meets. This is called
brackish water. Local conditions of temperature and water circulation may also increase
or decrease salinity."
Not forbidden to be passed, I think means a continuous process of brackish region

remaining for the next millions of years until the water cycle comes to end in a
cataclysmic activity/event or a gradual geological change stretched in a certain localized
regions over millions of years. Since there could be a passage of some contents of sea
water and river or sweet water mixing. One can always be critical of the ayah but in its
broadest perspective, someone living in a desert could not have spoken such words.
Here the use of the word Barzagh corresponds to "separation" proved by empirical
science.
While again in the ayah 23:100 the word Barzagh is used meaning a separation after
death, a spiritual event.
"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." - "By no means! It is
but a word he says."- Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.
Or as translated by Mohammad Asad,
"As for those who will not believe in the life to come, they go on lying to themselves,
until when death approaches any of them, he prays: "O my Sustainer! let me return [to
life], so I might act righteously in whatever I have failed [aforetime]. Nay, it is indeed but
a [meaningless] word that he utters: for behind those [who leave the world] is a barrier of
[death] until the Day when all will be raised from the dead!
Here again the word Barzagh is used, a separation, humans or their souls will be
requesting/asking to be sent back in order to correct what they did before. It is known by
the Sufia as an interface, where those with the highest spiritual attainment, can cross over
by the Will of the Creator coming back and forth. An Ulul Albaab can see/relate the
meanings of Barzakh, both in the domain of physics and metaphysics.
Understood by Imran khan when he writes:
"Reading the biography of the twelfth-century Andalusian mystic Muhammad Ibn Arabi
helped me understand Mian Bashir's gift better. Ibn Arabi referred to those ' that see with
two eyes ' . He believed that after a process of spiritual discipline somebody could reach a
state during meditation in which
they received direct knowledge from Allah.
I also started to read about Sufism. and discovered there was a whole world of spirituality
about which I was completely clueless. Sufism is too big a subject to delve into in this
book. but these beautiful lines from the mystic poet Rumi reflect what he calls the inner
journey of man, and the ascent of the human soul. People who know about mysticism
will understand about the journey of the soul towards God.
Low in the earth

I lived in realms of ore and stone;
And then I smiled in many-tinted flowers;
Then roving with the wild and wondering hours.
O ' er earth and air and ocean' s zone.
In a new birth.
I dived and flew.
And crept and ran.
And all the secrets of my essence drew
Within a form that brought them all to view ----Rumi.
and again,
"I was heavily influenced by the Quranic injunction ' Keep the money you need and give
the rest away . ' It took me quite a long time to understand this. yet within it lies the key
to human contentment. Most people cannot distinguish between wants and needs because
wants can be limitless. I would see cricketers I had played with - some of whom came
from very humble backgrounds - striving to make more and more money even after they
left the sport. I realized that it was out of insecurity. For a sportsman in particular there is
usually only a limited time in which one can make a lot of money. These people were
caught in a never-ending race where no amount of money was ever going to be enough. It
is the same with Pakistan' s ruling elite. Some of our politicians are dollar billionaires yet
there is still no end to their greed. What I realized whilst raising funds for the hospital
was that the unhappiest people are those whose goals are
entirely material. The people who had donated the most were also the ones who were
spiritual and seemed most content. In the same vein. the greatest scenes of happiness and
contentment I had ever seen were in the villages and homes of rural communities of
Pakistan. I have long since believed that the people who are richest are the people who
cannot be bought for any price.
From Imran Khan....A Personal Journey...
I believe IK is the right candidate after reading more about him, though I was skeptical in
the beginning, by his behavior bordering on rude.

Imran.

Dear Friends,
I had started a class on mysticism 101, here 101 means a very

elementary stage last month, by undertaking to study psychology
and its role in the experience of the self, making a critical
judgment first on a human claiming an inner experience, followed by
a comparative study of mysticism, and later extending it to a study
of comparative religions , having done so with introducing Ibn Arabi,
and his thoughts, with a commentary on nightly vigil, by quoting from
a book called "The Self-Disclosure of God", by Dr William C Chiitick
who is a scholar on Islam, at Sunny University, New York, on Asian
and Asian American studies.
With the intention of asking him to explain his book, and any
questions raised by this forum. The Self-Disclosure of God, from
which I had quoted, a difficult subject when narrated by the
masters, had sent him an email to help us over in the understanding,
of the fundamentals of Sufism, as given to in the Self-Disclosure of
God. His reply is attached, as choosing the subject from the mid
point, in Dr Chittick assessment I have jumped further/ahead, and
should start at the basics.
Kindly read the attached emails for those interested. I had in

previous conversations with Dr Chittick, mentioned my interest in
science or signs pointing to the study of nature in Quran. He guided
me to first open the inner eye, before undertaking this
path/direction. Also explained by Dr Iqbal in his Reconstruction, on
the Chapter "Is Religion possible".
Seeing a lukewarm reception on the forum, as not interested

equating with discomfort will discontinue and promise not to raise
this subject for another six months starting today.
While discussing on this forum stumbled on Allama Mohammad Iqbal

r.a on his claiming a "Wahy" in revealing the secrets of the self or
the secrets of science, however we construe it, I was quite
perplexed having believed on the miracle of the book in verses,
which are crystal clear as daylight, cannot be spoken by someone
living 14 centuries ago, even more when they are understood in the
light of an inner experience /or every day experience,while science
refuting some powers of God, namely verses on genetics.
I understand this poem of Iqbal he wrote under the name of his son
called "Javed Nama" could be criticized on this forum but attest to
the power of Inspiration or transcendental knowledge, and the very
concept of inorganic/organic matter, animals, plants, birds, and
above all Humans receiving continued "Inspiration".
I quote again the said poem.

Warm Wishes to all. If all goes well will start this topic after six
months.
Sohail observation on religion is complex,would add Arslan's

observations, still have to keep finding.....
This research is rediscovering the wheel, must have been miles

ahead in institutes like Islamic University Faisel mosque, Allama
Iqbal open university, Ghamdi institute in Lahore, National Defense
University etc. Unable to access any of these, could be writing a lot
of but believe.
Wahabism in its excesses, though King Saud befriended Dr

Mohammad Asad the Austrian scholar and gave him full support
resulting in Road to Mecca, later met Iqbal who had his family taken
care of while confined in an anti- German citizens arrests, locked
up in sweltering heat, and becoming ambassador extraordinaire for
Pakistan , has to curtail extremism in the form of blowing up girl
schools, where an Ulul Albaab a term used in Quran, includes both
men and women of insight/understanding/knowledge, having access
to science and technology besides Uloom e deen.
Sufism has to be mindful of not committing shirk, by prostrating to

graves. When someone says Sajada Tazeemi before a saint not
bending all the way one who has passed away , and Sajada before
God prostrating in like namaz are two different, has to be
researched as not committing shirk . Bowing Wahadat ul Wajud as
explained by Dr Israr on Youtube is self explanatory, Not
everything is He, but His is everything, mysteriously plunged, as His
control on every atom, in our bodies, is reflected, by the Hologram
in the Cosmos, each particle mysteriously connected with the other,
even on the edge of the universe in seconds defying the speed of
light, effects Non Local in quantum physics as contrasted with local
in the Newtonian classical physics.
Besides respecting all, Shia Islam, though not
understanding some of the denominations, will include a
tribute to Dr Abdus Salam. Sohail makes me laugh with
all respect to both him and to Arslan.

P.S Dr Chittick had referred to his book "Science of the
Cosmos, Science of the Soul " on the importance of
transcendental knowledge.
“The crux of knowledge, then, is to read and know one’s

own soul. The whole trajectory of the voluntary return to
God is to learn how to interpret oneself through
understanding the wisdom present in both revelations and
the cosmos.”
— William Chittick, "On the Cosmology of Dhikr" here
refers to Zikr.
And,
“Sufism is not primarily involved with mystical

experience. Although “unveiling of the mysteries” is
indeed one possible fruit of Sufi practice, it cannot be
taken for granted and should not even be made a goal, at
least in any exclusive sense. Many Sufi masters would
maintain that the attempt to achieve unveiling is a
dangerous enterprise, because it turns the seeker away
from God and puts experience in His place. Hence, it is a
form of shirk (associating others with God)…”

Frithjof Schoun and Dr Suheyl Umar have written

extensively on understanding modern psychology, a

Radio Telescope
Instrument used to capture, concentrate and analyze
radio waves emanating from a celestial body or a region
of the celestial sphere.
Diversity also a source of disbelief for others, who see
reason and excessive science or scientism, as the only
source of knowledge and life as an accident, based on
chance and randomness. We need to build a Radio
Telescope to study the heavens and the earth as a Divine
duty and see how close we live in a world where our end
might come at any time in the morning , evening and at all
hour’s of the night. Its God Almighty Who protects us till
the day of resurrection. The best location to build one
could be the foothills of Islamabad or Murree.
How To Use A Telescope According To The Injunctions

Of The Quran:
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs
for men and women of understanding. Quran 3-190.
When the Last Prophet Mohammad (Sallallahu Alaiha
Wassallum) was born in 570 C.E, his father Abdulllah had
passed away, leaving him in the care of his mother Bibi
Aminah. As being customary when Prophet Mohammad
(Sallallahu Alaiha Wassallum) was sent with Bibi Halimah,
as all other women had refused, looking for monetary
benefits dropped him for being an orphan, when it came
her turn Bibi Halimah’s camel was tired and did not move,
and feeling left out, what would she explain on her return
home took him to nurse.
Thus started a relationship the Prophet Mohammad (
Sallallahu Alaiha Wassallum) would have with nature, in
the harsh and dangerous environment of the Arabian
Desert, where for untold miles nothing grew. The
Universe appeared in the dark nights, with all the
multitude of stars, scattered across like pearls in the
cosmic ocean.
Years would pass and in the middle of one night, during
the height of his Divine mission in Medina , the following
revelations were revealed.
Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers)
standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think
deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth,
(saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this
without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all
that they associate with You as partners). Give us
salvation from the torment of the Fire. Quran 3-191.
Years have passed, and ages have gone by, of men and
women, saints and guides, scientists and engineers, but
hardly any generation has taken up the above verses, with
the devotion, zeal, energy, commitment as a community
and as individuals that the Prophet so dearly envisaged,
when he wept the whole night and on being asked at dawn
by Bilal R.A before going for the morning prayers, the
reason of being sad replied. “Woe to anyone who hears
these verses and does not meditate upon it.”
If some have meditated, there is hardly any mention in
our class rooms, colleges, universities, mosques, Juma
prayers and Dar ul ulum.
The study of sciences including physics, biology and
mathematics, philosophy and astronomy had been
undertaken as divinely imperative by great schools of the
Islamic renaissance. Then all went dark.
The study of the heavens and the earth is not possible,
with out the modern scientific equipment. A need arises
for every center of learning to be equipped with a decent
size Telescope. The Muslim community should pool
together there financial resources. Weekly lectures
should be conducted by the engineer and scientists for
the youth, emphasizing the connection between research
in the heavens and earth, along with Taqwa as elaborated
by the following verses.
The last two hundred and fifty years has seen a new day,
the day of Muslim lamenting his days of excellence, long
gone by and trying to bring them back, the days of Ibn
Rushd r.a, Shaykh Ibn Arabi r.a, Ibn Haitham r.a, Ibn
Sina r.a, Ibn Tammiyah r.a, Abdul Wahab r.a followed by
a long chain like Syed Jamaluddin r.a, Inayat ullah
khanMashriqi r.a, Shah Waliullah Delhvi r.a, Syed
Suleiman Nadvi r.a, Syed Abu Ala Maududi r.a, Allama
Muhammad Iqbal r.a, Muhammad Asad r.a, Shah
Shahidullah Faridi r.a, Abdullah Quilliam r.a,Wasif Ali
Wasif r.a, Dr Israr Ahmed r.a, Dr Shaykh Abdal Hakim
Murad, Bashir uddin Mehmood Nuclear Engineer PAEC.
Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day and in
all that Allah has created in the heavens and the earth
are Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) for those people who keep their duty to
Allah, and fear Him much.
The word Albab stems from the root Lub, in Arabic the
choicest part the heart, which undergoes Tazkia e Nafs
and is purified by undergoing transformation while
practicing Taqwa along with the attention given to the
creation of heavens and earth, the alternation of nights
and days as the earth revolves around it own axis,
pointing to signs in nature and the human soul.
O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you

and those who were before you so that you may become
Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).
When we study the plants it is amazing to see how they

calculate the amount of starch left as food, till the
breaking of dawn. A biological inbuilt calculator along with
the biological clock, in the molecules of these plants
adjust , even slowing down their growth rate to conserve
the starch for the time left. If there was no alternation
of night and day these plants would not survive.
The use of quantum biology is gaining momentum, the
quantum property of coherence is being used by biological
systems to achieve maximum and near perfect efficiency
in the process of photosynthesis.
Telescopes come in different varieties, depending on

what part of the electro-magnetic spectrum one is
observing. I would mention two of them for now. Radio
and Optical telescopes.
1. Radio-Telescope.
2. Basic terms: Flux density, intensity, brightness,
temperature.
3. Tool :Fourier Transforms, decibels etc.
4. Radio telescope systems:
Antennas (simple dipoles)
Paraboloid reflectors, sub-reflectors.
Telescope performance: surface accuracy, pointing,
gain
Receiver feed horns, frequency flexibility.
The following equation is called the Raleigh-jeans

law. That is at low frequencies increases with the
square of the frequencies.
Radio Telescope Arecibo. Puerto Rico

Optical telescope: The optical telescope gathers light
from the visible part of the electro-magnetic spectrum.
Case Study:- Masjid Al Mutaqeen, Pembroke Pines, FL.
In accordance with and keeping the above paper in view
today Tuesday 23 July 2013, with the Grace and Help of
Almighty Allah the Creator and Sustainer of the
Universe, together with my colleagues, Shakeel Hye and
Faisel Haroon, we laid out a program to implement, the
means of having a library and a Telescope in each mosque
in South Florida insha’Allah. We did consider the best
ways of convincing the older generation of such an
enterprise.
3rd September 2013, decided to make power point
presentations, for students primarily grade 6th to 12th,
with focus on speech that is lectures, as the best form
of communication.

signing his book in Kissimmee, Fl. A landmark event for
me to meet someone, who actually touched the moon,
when I listened live as 15 years old to his actual landing
on the moon on 16 July 1969.Broadcast live on radio. He
signed two of his books for me on ‘Mission to Mars’, as he
has developed a vision for human to settle and build a
permanent colony. I had the following conversation with
him.
Author: This is a landmark day for me.
Mr Aldrin: Thank you.
Author: Mr Aldrin do you know why is this a landmark

event for me?
Mr Aldrin: I have been to India.
Author: Because what you men have started would one

day lead to the conquest of the Universe. Our Noble
Quran is full of instructions on the conquest of nature
and I think this world will not come to an end, until we
humans have done so, do you want a copy of the Quran I
have brought for you.
Mr Aldrin: No.
Author: You are one of the greatest men on earth.
Mr Aldrin: Thank you, no it is Obama. (While smiling,the

current President of the United States.)

The instinct of the bee, working for the common good of

the hive, its inherent functions embedded in the genetic
code as it strives to gather, honey from the nectar, in
the plants and its surrounding, a deterministic process,
highly organized and complex, accompanied with their
scout and the dancing bees. The survival of a community
of 15000 to 80000 bees in a single hive depends on this
collective effort and struggle.
The Quran calls its readers to reflect on this

phenomenon as signs in nature.
And thy Lord revealed unto the bees, saying: 'Take unto
yourselves, of the mountains, houses, and of the trees,
and of what they are building.
Then eat of all manner of fruit, and follow the ways of

your Lord easy to go upon.' Then comes there forth out
of their bellies a drink of diverse hues wherein is healing
for men and women. Surely in that is a sign for a
people who reflect.
.And in the process gaining thousand of insights, with the

bee helping in pollination, an act of transferring pollen
and seed to fertilizing plants growing, and producing the
food we eat, to the study of bees in human longevity.
Recently the colony collapse disorder among bee
population is creating havoc with food production.
Are humans too suffering from a colony collapse

disorder?.
The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein,
declare His glory: there is not a thing but celebrates His
praise; And yet ye understand not how they declare His
glory! Verily He is Oft-Forbear, Most Forgiving!
Here Allah (swt) Himself guides to the straight path,

men and women of understanding, contemplating, studying
nature, and practicing piety.
Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky
and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth;
then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then
they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes
them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for
Niagara Falls, NY. Personal visit to the falls.
This timeless journey of God’s higher purposes unfold

every moment in the alternation of night and day, laws of
nature regulating order. Energy of the sun sustaining the
cyclical movements on earth, water cycles of the oceans
and rivers, rain through processes of evaporation and
condensation. A visit to the ocean, gives a remarkable
insight, into this phenomena, with its salt water,
unbearable to drink. Quran mentions:
See ye the water
Which ye drink?
Do ye bring it Down
(In rain) from the Cloud
Or do We?
Were it Our Will,

We could make it
Salt ( and unpalatable):
Then why do ye not
Give thanks?
Amazing insights with the whole cycle of life, death and

reproduction enunciated, in a few verses, a whole theory
of modern Gaia, the earth being a living cell, extrapolated
to the whole universe as a living and breathing dynamo,
carrying the Will of the Almighty. This insight does not
come by reading alone, which can be a catalyst, but by
the Divine Grace. Age is no barrier; one does feel an awe
and submission, elated to possess these insights by
observing the wonders of nature.
Human consciousness is the epitome of all this

alternation of night and day, the action at a distance of
the various forces of sun, the moon, planets and stars
working together to bring rain from the sky, bringing life
onto dead earth, sprouting seeds and plants producing
food for humans and the grazing animals, in the food
chain. All an endless cycle in the service of Human
consciousness, as animals posses genetically endowed,
pre-programmed, inbuilt powers,. Salmon travelling
thousand of miles in the ocean, coming back to breed at
the spot, it left
Alluded in the following verses as all species of animals on

earth, and birds flying in the sky as forming organized
communities. Quran gives pointers, which are
directional’s, in thought and action and are never in
conflict with science. When I mentioned reason, or
science as lagging behind intuition, it does not mean as
one being inferior to the other, for both are words (Ayat
and Hadith) of God. Both evolve step by step to higher
planes of understanding. Only science might take longer,
to reach coming in synchronization with scientific truths
mentioned in Quran. Both derived from the same Divine
book, extending and forming an inner and an outer
dimension, with Phd thesis, papers, and equations derived
from nature, as complementing those derived from
prophetic revelation. Both merging to form men and
women of understanding (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬.
ْ Some Islamic
scholars wrongly equate sciences derived from nature as
vocations, and not words of God. One might assert that
science can change any time, but not the laws. All animals
on earth and birds in the sky will remain communities no
matter whoever tries otherwise. Those seeking testable
proof’s need go no further then the following, where its
explicitly mentioned that those seeking a miracle, need to
look in the communities and nature of animals and birds .
I may mention here, God has His own way of giving light
to a seeker of truth. It could be from the outer (divine
book of nature) or inner (divine book of revelation) or
both.
There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a
being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of)
communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the
Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the
end.
The study of animals and birds has been a constant

endeavor by every civilization past and present, intending
to learn from their behavior, skills and powers. Darpa is
engaged in copying and genetically altering them for
warfare and military, industrial usage. Noble prize have
been awarded to Konrad Lorenz, Nikolaas Tinbergen, Karl
Von Frisch for studies on their behavior. Quran stresses
on this study as a divine command.
Humans too have unlimited potentials that need to be

studied. The greatest being their ability to contact and
interact with the Ultimate Consciousness. Aptly
remarked by Max Planck, “Science cannot solve the
ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the
last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that
we are trying to solve”.
And again.
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most
clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell
you as a result of my research about atoms this much:
There is no matter as such. All matter originates and
exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle
of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar
system of the atom together. We must assume behind
this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent
mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter”.
For this communication is what the lama in the

monasteries on the high mountains, the Vedanta
philosopher in the temple, the kabbalah practitioner, are
trying to achieve a contact with the ultimate reality,
which is as some argue God being just, we are not able to
Qadr assess His Might.
But for one well versed in the Quran, the intensity OF

FIRE, and one of the reality of all realities the hell, as
described in Quran sends shudders, and fear, when one
realizes how naively we treat ourselves and how this
whole system is setup( with the aspirations for wealth,
gold ,lust , individual intelligence, genetic makeup,
environment, quest for survival, dependence on food ,
peer pressure of family and friends, pride, envy , urge to
become supermen, jealousies makes it almost impossible
to achieve salvation) around us to be companions of those
who’s fate will be handed in the left hand, we come into
this world , live and depart with all the media blazing, all
our companions striving for the capitalist system.
And indeed his or her love of wealth, is intense.
Should we pray for God to turn us into stones?. As the

following verses warn mankind.
But those whose good deeds will be lighter (on the scale).
He or she will have their home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).
And what will make you know what it is?
(It is) a hot blazing Fire!
Or follow the footsteps of the greatest and the last

Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh). Here God comes to the
rescue of those who follow Quran and Sunnah. To achieve
salvation and protection from Hell fire.
Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad
(Peace be upon him))?
And removed from you your burden,
In an Islamic welfare society, each one of us tries to live

by a Shariah compliant profession to earn a living.
salvation depends on following Seerat-ul-Mustaqeem a
righteous path, who’s meaning is well defined and
elaborated in the Quran in its various modes , such as
Islamic charity, defined in its larger context as serving
the needs of the poor, as well as a wide variety of other
activities, such as being kind to parents, tied to the rope
of Allah(swt) , so does the opening up of the breast
(mind), studying , and reflecting on the intricacies/
construction of the universe , with the creation of night
and day, all forms of pairs both seen and unseen(Be
Iznillah), in humans , plants, animals and matter(
positrons and electrons etc) in a duality accompanied
with the purification of consciousness (soul) inside, this
unity of matter, mind and soul constitutes Seerat-ul-
Mustaqeem in one of its mode.
One’s burden is lightened: On witnessing and experiencing
Allah Almighty Sign/Signs directly on the heart.
Which weighed down your back?
Here is the beginning of what Mohammad Iqbal

describes ‘In the third period metaphysics is displaced
by psychology, and religious life develops the ambition to
come into direct contact with the Ultimate Reality. It is
here that religion becomes a matter of personal
assimilation of life and power; and the individual achieves
a free personality, not by releasing himself from the
fetters of the law, but by discovering the ultimate
source of the law within the depths of his own
consciousness. As in the words of a Muslim Sufi– “no
understanding of the Holy Book is possible until it is
actually revealed to the believer just as it was revealed
to the Prophet.”
When a human being comes into direct contact with the

Ultimate Reality and is guided by His light, His
revelations in the Quran, directly unfold as a living
experience in the life of this servant, brought forth
from the depths of darkness and sins, worst than the
most vicious animal can perpetrate, only the recipient of
this Light can feel the gravity of his degradation, from
which he is pulled and is bewildered by God’s infinite,
beneficence and mercy reciting.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most

Merciful
Although words like Most, or Infinite hardly suffice in

describing, His Grace and Mercy replacing His Wrath.
Only the recipient of this light can appreciate this

transformation from the living death to a new life, by his
or her actions/deeds in daily practice depicting an
understanding of the noble Quran as it was actually
revealed on the Prophet ( May Allah Peace and Blessings
be upon him). Even literally, receiving an exegesis of the
verses directly from the Living Lord of the Worlds (Al
Hayyu and Al Qayyum) , depending on his or her
acceptance and spiritual attainment with the Almighty, a
manifestation of His Divine Grace.
Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and
disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith)
and set for him a light (of Belief/Quran) whereby he can
walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness (of
disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can
never come out? Thus it is made fairseeming to the
disbelievers that which they used to do.
It pertains to any human past, present and the future

that attains that union with the Light which guides him or
her as it guided the Prophet (May Allah peace and
blessing be upon him).
Here Iqbal in an urdu couplet insists on receiving Quran

as a living reality (Tahqiq) on the heart, instead of
learning by committing it to memory, which is in itself a
first but not the only step, resulting in transmitted
knowledge (Taqlid), which does not help in untying the
knots, the mysteries of the Universe, even when guided
by the likes of Razi and those who receive Divine
Guidance.
Though there are many examples in the Quran about past

civilizations, the study of nature and performing
righteous deeds, no understanding is complete or
understood in depth until every, human being man or
women, starts believing himself or herself , as the actual
recipient.
Becomes a living example/ participator, understanding

the meanings according to the situation passing through
your own life at that very moment, whether coping with
the death of a loved one, or the birth of a new life, would
be bewildered and completely astonished to find a verse
for each situation, and according to each situation, the
condition being, searching/reading the whole Quran,
word by word, line by line, verse by verse, chapter by
chapter, finding guidance for ourselves rather than
depending on other’s, learning the meanings, by learning
Arabic or consulting a dictionary, and acting on these
verses as they are meant for us, which in reality they
are, and not a relic for, or of the past.
Common sense dictates the Prophet was only acting as a

messenger, the message was meant for you and me, and
for eternity. I mean not neglecting the guidance meant
for the Prophet, after converting to Islam; the next
stage is finding Allah Almighty in the early morning hours
of dawn, and the stillness of the nights, in the creation
of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of
night’s and day’s, in graduating from the animal self, to
being on the path of discovery the call of Tazkiya e Nafs
in transitioning from Nafs Amarah to Nafs ul Mutminah.
In each stage becoming a part of God’s Will.
There are no half measures, several paths have to be

travelled simultaneously, and the performance of five
times mandatory ‘Salah/Namaz’ after becoming a second
habit, comes with remembrance of His Names, spread
through the length and breath of the Quran.

5 Talash e Haqeeqat and Foaz al Azeem by Nuclear
Engineer Sultan Bashir- ud -din Mehmood.
Electrical engineer and nuclear scientist Sultan Bashir-

Ud-Din Mehmood in his book “In Search Of Reality”
remarks.
“It is matter of contemplation, when in a backward

Arabian desert nation, how could a person (Prophet
Mohammad) living 1400 years ago, in a city full of
superstitions, and idol worship, who could not read a
book, at reaching the age of 40, come up with statements
which the sociologists, economist, historians,
mathematicians, and scientists have arrived after lengthy
and deep studies. Where did this brilliant personality
learn all this?”
The above verses mentioned in the studies of animals and

all kind of creatures flying in the sky is one such
statement, providing, knowledge, and guidance for
mankind. It is unfortunate Muslim nations, in quest for
power and influence are outmaneuvering each other at
the cost of building advanced institutes of sciences
where these signs from God can be minutely studied, and
PhD thesis and papers published, seminars, conferences
conducted along with many other signs in the length and
breadth of Quran.
If a Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud, and Konrad Lorentz

have done exhaustive studies on human evolution, human
psychology and animal studies, having far reaching
implications on the cultural, social and moral fabric of
mankind, similar studies were conducted by Ibn
Miskawayh in al-Fawz al-Asghar, Ibn Khaldun in
Muqaddima, and Al-Jahiz in Kitab al-Hayawan
respectively, based on the signs and inspirations derived
from Quran.
Photo synthesis of plants, cloud formations. Driving rains
bringing life to the seed, sprouting produce. The seven
heavens and the earth, and all beings therein, declare
His glory: there is not a thing but celebrates His
praise; And yet ye understand not how they declare
His glory.
Individuals, communities and nations reading signs and

laws of nature in the heavens and earth, with fine tuning
and limitations set on these laws by Allah( swt), along
with inculcating the virtues and the purification of the
heart through but not limited to a)Prayers b)Charity c)
Fasting d) Solitude e) Poverty. f) Silence g) knowledge h.)
Elimination of pride, greed, greatness, lust, anger,
conceit etc. This journey starts with Ikhlas fine tuning
the self, doing away with the above mentioned vices, as
Dr Azhar Waheed points to the fact the logical
implication of Ikhlas is solitude. This inner contemplation
and self accountability implies a personality able to stand
the most severest of shocks, most defiantly requiring a
teacher.
The Quran is full of Signs, on the holistic nature of the
Cosmos as the following verse mentions.

To Allah doth belong the dominion

Of the heavens and the earth,
And it is He who hath power
Over all things.(Al Quran 5-120)
Syed Qutb emphatically brings out the essence of Islam.

The only SUPER POWER in the Universe and on the earth
is Allah(swt). A fusion of harmony and perfect balance is
achieved when the inner experience of the Qalb, and the
outer experience of knowledge, reason and science work
in tandem.” None of this; The Qur'an always appeals to
human nature and draws our attention to the signs of God
which are within man's soul itself and are all around him.
It liberates human nature from superstitions, polishes
man's native intelligence to the utmost degree, and opens
up windows to the world and makes man appreciate the
intricate processes of God's nature.”.
And again. “For all tyranny is the same. The earth belongs
to God and must submit purely to God. This cannot be
achieved unless the banner of ‘ no diety other than God’
is unfurled across the earth. Man is servant to God alone,
and this cannot be maintained except when the banner of
‘no deity other than God’ is raised high.”

As Mohammad Iqbal elaborates this union of the inner
self and the outer universe eloquently as follows.
‘The idea, however, does not mean that mystic

experience, which qualitatively does not differ from the
experience of the prophet, has now ceased to exist as a
vital fact. Indeed the Qur’an regards both Anfus (self)
and Āfāq (world) as sources of knowledge. God reveals
His signs in inner as well as outer experience, and it is
the duty of man to judge the knowledge-yielding capacity
of all aspects of experience.’
‘But inner experience is only one source of human

knowledge. According to the Qur’an, there are two other
sources of knowledge– Nature and History; and it is in
tapping these sources of knowledge that the spirit of
Islam is seen at its best. The Qur’an sees signs of the
Ultimate Reality in the “sun”, the “moon”, “the
lengthening out of shadows”, “the alternation of day
and night”, ‘the variety of human colour and tongues”,
“the alternation of the days of success and reverse
among peoples”– in fact in the whole of Nature as
revealed to the sense-perception of man. And the
Muslim’s duty is to reflect on these signs and not to pass
by them “as if he is dead and blind”, for he “who does
not see these signs in this life will remain blind to the
realities of the life to come.’
Quran exhorts the study of history, advising travel to

the far corners of earth, in order to learn the laws of
rise and fall of nations, to study their archeology,
anthropology, sociology etc, just like it does for
naturalists and biologist to visit the far corners of the
earth and see how God initiated creation. As the
following verses elaborate.
In their history verily there is a lesson for Ulul

Albab (men and women of understanding). It is no
invented story but a confirmation of the existing
(Scripture) and a detailed explanation of everything,
and a guidance and a mercy for folk who believe.
 The Quran exhorts on research of past civilizations

and their history including that from the
scriptures as a truth and not anything invented or
false.

And We sent not before you (as Messengers) any but
men, whom We inspired from among the people of
townships. Have they not travelled through the earth
and seen what was the end of those who were before
them? And verily, the home of the Hereafter is the best
for those who fear Allah and obey Him (by abstaining
from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous
good deeds). Do you not then understand?
This study of the three disciplines of Almighty’s Tajali,

as manifested through His great strength Al Aziz
(power) and His great wisdom Al Hakim culminates in
Sura Al Fajr with Divine Guidance directing a human
being who once having realized his or her greatest sins
chose Hazrat Omar R.A over Abu Jahil after having
repented(Tauba) falls in prostration, weeping for the
Mercy to remain at all times, every where till death has
other plans and starts reflecting on the ‘Al Furqan’
guided, by sometimes randomly opening the pages of the
Quran or through the vibes radiating in the ‘Sangat’ of
the ‘Aulia’ wakes up at night engaged in Zikr, reading the
Quran till dawn, performing the ‘ Salah’ is invited to
share the greatest evidences/mysteries in the universe
the silent turning of the night into day before his or her
very eyes, the disappearance of night and the appearance
of a bright new day, just as his or her life changed from
sin, to repentance and on to reflecting in the signs in
nature, history and the soul.
By the break of Day
Humans are invited to witness the majesty, splendor,

grandeur, omnipresence and omnipotence of the Lord as
He guides the earth around the sun, turning it slowly
around its own orbit as it glides in space. An evidence for
those who seek a miracle.
By the Nights twice five;
The first ten nights’s revered in the month of Dhu al

Hijjah reserved for praying and meditation.
Here God explicitly mentions men, and not women sent as
His messengers, in contrast to the word (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬,
ْ
persons of understanding where there is no stated
distinction between the two.
Arabic-English lexicon by Edward William Lane,

describes. “(‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬,
ْ persons of understanding. (
Labib), a person of understanding, or intelligence. Hence
( Lub) of a man (understanding, intellect, intelligence and
mind). Aql the understanding that is put into the heart
of a man so called because it is the choicest or best part
of him, or it is not so called unless it is pure from
cupidity or lust and foul imaginations and therefore
has a more special sense than Aql. Lubab, lub what is
pure, or, best part of anything thing.”

UNDERSTANDING (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬.

Here the centrality of the heart is mentioned, which

when treated with distinctive features mentioned in the
Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh), leads
to knowledge beyond reason, aptly described, by Hossein
Nasr, and the Muslim saints like Imam Ja’far Al- Sadiq
(Jabir Ibn Hayan had this to say about his master ‘my
master Ja'far as-Sadiq taught me about calcium,
evaporation, distillation and crystallization and
everything I learned in alchemy was from my master
Ja'far as-Sadiq’). Here Jabir refers to Geber, the
forerunner of modern chemistry.Ali Hajver , Abdul

(Sang-e-meel publications), Nouman Ali khan and rare

Schimmel, Dr Karen Armstrong.
Dr Hossain Nasr elaborates.“The traditional concept of

knowledge is concerned with freedom and deliverance
precisely because it relates principal knowledge to the
Intellect, not merely to reason, and sees sacred
knowledge in rapport with an ever-present Reality which
is at once Being and Knowledge, not with a process of
accumulation of facts and concepts through time and
based on gradual growth and development. Without
denying this latter type of knowledge which in fact has
existed in all traditional civilizations, tradition
emphasizes that central knowledge of the sacred and
sacred knowledge which is the royal path toward
deliverance from the bondage of all limitation and
ignorance, from the bondage of the outside world which
limits us physically and the human psyche which
imprisons the immortal soul within us.
“While considering the ordinary knowing function of the

mind connected with what we receive through the senses
and the rational analysis of this empirical data, tradition
refuses to limit the role of knowledge to this level, or
that of the intelligence to its analytical function. It sees
the nobility of the human intellect in its being able to
attain that knowledge which is beyond time and
becoming, which, rather than engrossing us ever further
in the accumulation of details and facts, elevates man to
the level of that illimitable Being which is the source of
all existents yet beyond them. To know that Being is to
know in principle all that exists and hence to become
free from the bondage of all limitative existence. To
know existence through the piercing light of intelligence
is to be free from concern with the limited type of
knowledge which engrosses but does not liberate the
mind.”
“And they will ask you about the Spirit. Say, The Spirit
is by the command of my Lord; you have been given only a
little knowledge.”
The kind of knowledge yielding experiences narrated in

the traditions of the sages, slowly disappearing, under
the weight of scientism. As the following translations of
the book “Rohain ki khusboo” by Muslim mystic,
electrical engineer and nuclear scientist Bashir ud
Mehmood explains.
“It is a moment of great concern for us that in the

western world, experiencing a wave of spiritual revival,
there arises, a need for us not only to guard against
erroneous concepts. But also explain the world of the
unseen in the light of the true facts and concepts of
Islam. So that they can move from falsehood towards
guidance. If we are unable to do that, it is at all possible
under the materialistic mindset of the west, that the
knowledge of the soul(Ruh), might get entangled in their
materialistic approach. And that humankind instead of
getting closer to God, move away.”
As explained in the “Mystics of Islam”.
“Sufism is not a system composed of rules or sciences

but a moral disposition; i.e. if it were a rule, it could be
made one's own by strenuous exertion, and if it were a
science, it could be acquired by instruction; but on the
contrary it is a disposition, according to the saying,
'Form yourselves on the moral nature of God'; and the
moral nature of God cannot be attained either by means
of rules or by means of science.”
Dr William Chittick, points the way of approaching the

intellectual knowledge (Aqli) by phenomenon of Tahqiq, a
word derived from the root (Haq), the esoteric and
intellectual knowledge derived from the eye of the
heart, rather then the transmitted (Naqli) and exoteric
based on imitation (Taqlid). One tested by the time
honored traditions, other on the modern explanations of
the apologetics. One achieved by actualization in the
heart, crucial ingredients, needed for the inner
transformation, the self of the I am (heart and the soul
of the momin, purged of the lowly desires, love of
wealth, fame, status, acquisitions).
A reformation movement needs to be undertaken to
curtail excessiveness in all domains of human activity
leading to shirk. And to be careful to a repeat of
Monasticism as practiced in Christianity is not accepted
in Islam. For the following verses of the Quran warn us.
Then, in succession, We followed them up with (other of)
Our Messengers. We caused them to be followed by
Jesus son of Mary and gave him the Gospel. And we
placed kindness and compassion in the hearts of those
who followed him. As for monastic asceticism—We had
never ordained it to them. They invented it themselves to
seek God’s approval. But then, they did not uphold the
Gospel with right observance. And so those who truly
believed among them, We gave them their reward. But, a
great many of have been drifting away.
Interpretation of the Quran are done by scholars who

captivated by their circumstances, their personal
feelings , personalities, experiences, political motives,
depth of knowledge and understanding , talent and vigor,
economic distresses, reason and scientism, political
influences tend to sometimes exaggerate one aspect or
the other leading to shirk (blasphemy) unknowingly . May
Allah (swt ) all praise be to Him, the Creator and
Sustainer, the Cherisher and Lord of the Heavens and
Earth’s, all the seen and the unseen. Lord of Grace
abounding, forgive me for of any of my excesses (Amen).
The least it is to be remembered being human with a
constant urge to self praise and be praised, hard wired
into out genetic structure. We get tempted to be all
knowing. It is my personal experience when we meet
people with authority, knowledge, wealth, one
experiences a brick wall. Usually of very high intelligence
these men and women of unusual talent appear to
disregard the other’s viewpoint. Imposing their own will,
allowing their personal failings, inner insecurities, trial
and tribulations, hidden in the unconscious to be
reflected in their actions. This dichotomy can be
removed through ijma (consensus) and dialogue.
We have to carefully look into the works of Dr Shabbir

Ahmed( though he overlooks the achievements ,
sacrifices , and the valuable contribution to knowledge
by Ulema and the Sufis of Islam). God warns of
innovations that lead to the stray path, but says those
who did practice monastic asceticism, with the right
observance of the Gospel, as giving them their rewards.
Allama Inayat Ullah Khan “Maulvi ka ghalat madhab”,
Professor Rafiq Akhter’s book “An approach to the
Quran” and Syed Abul Ala Maududi Tehfeem ul Quran
commentary on chapter 57 verse 27 into the excesses,
which have accumulated over the centuries especially in
context to Christian Monastic practices having parallel
derivatives in Islam.
In the extreme case of committing blasphemy as the

followers of Jesus (Pbuh) in their ignorance, attributing
Holiness and Divinity to the Holy Bible, Holy Son, etc,
finding similar parallels in our calling Quran as Holy
Quran, as brother Abu Mussab Wajdi Akkari explains.
‘Holy in the Arabic language is (transliteration)
'Muqaddas' , And Allah ta'Alaa has never referred to
the Quran as being, Quran-il-Muqaddas, nor will you find
in the reliable books of Sunnah Qurana-il-Muqaddas (The
Holy Quran). Allah called the Quran, Quran-il Kareem
(Noble Quran), Quran-il Hakeem (The Wise Quran),
Quran-il Majid(The Glorious Quran)etc. So in-
shaa'Allaah lets refer the Quran according to the names
Allah had given it, not simply imitating the Christians
without intending to do so. And Allah ta'Ala knows best”.
Their quest for purification, with in Islam is clearly

laudable and great a service for the modern Muslim
youth. The definition of Sufism applies to having Allah
(swt) as the only priority with excessive remembrance
supplementing the five times daily prayers. The human
nature given to extravagance sometimes tends to bypass
the Shariah in its quest for Tariqah.
All our efforts are to seek and find God, constitute

Seerat ul Mustaqeem, a Unity in diversity, in a wide
variety of modes and paths/action/deeds/ways,
according to our disposition, education and talent cannot
ignore the law (Sharia) in any circumstances, the basis of
all our strivings. While seeking the Absolute reality
through reason and intellect,(Aql) or through love, some
sacrificing their most precious possession in nurturing
the tree of truth, with their own blood, giving their lives
in the cause of Allah (swt), some as missionaries of Islam,
many through all of the above. It should not be our
intention to ridicule, or belittle the other. But to
understand the message, the word of Allah (swt) the
most gracious the most merciful. “As for monastic
asceticism—We had never ordained it to them. They
invented it themselves to seek God’s approval. But
then, they did not uphold the Gospel with right
observance. And so those who truly believed among
them, We gave them their reward. But, a great many
of have been drifting away”. In a subtle way with
having a soft corner for these men of learning the verses
pertaining to God warning those who practice
Monasticism or as some scholars refer it to Sufism in
Islam, as explaining those who love Him, but not deviating
from the Gospel as the rightly guided, what seems as
dichotomous is in fact the diversity in the message of
Allah (swt). Here is where a new seeker of truth is
bewildered as seeing the tradition, split in different
directions. The polemics of various commentators stem
from lack of a common thread, of Ijma and Dialogue.
Quran warns those who drift seeking God. Excess of
everything leads to an unbalance, usually by a thought
embedded or ingrained in the unconscious giving
impetuous to the will, a harmony and balance between the
conscious and unconscious mind is imperative. Those who
do not understand the diverse working in nature and
Allah’s plan ( Be Iznillah), bringing order out of chaos
both in the seen and the unseen tend to create schism.
Excessive remembrance of God, upholding the Law
(Sharia) while standing sitting, and lying on their sides,
are those who truly believe.
Recite (O Muhammad SAW) what has been revealed to
you of the Book (the Quran), and perform As-Salat
(IqamatasSalat). Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents
from Al-Fahsha' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful
sexual intercourse, etc.) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief,
polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.) and
the remembering (praising, etc.) of (you by) Allah (in
front of the angels) is greater indeed [than your
remembering (praising, etc.) Allah in prayers, etc.]. And
Allah knows what you do.
In modern time management paradigm a balance is

emphasized. We have to seek this perfection and
guidance achieved in the life and teachings of the Holy
Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh). Who could have wept more
for the love his Lord then the Prophet himself relating an
incidence when he wept the whole night until dawn till the
early morning prayers as narrated by Aisha RA. “Then,
she said, ‘Then he stood up, washed up (for prayer,
performed Ghusl) and then stood up in prayer and kept
crying until his ‘Hijr (the part of his clothes that covers
his lap) became wet, and kept crying until the floor
became wet. Then, Bilal came to him to inform him that it
was time to start the prayer. When Bilal saw him crying,
he said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Do you cry, while Allah
has forgiven you your previous and latter sins?’ He said,
‘Should not I be a devotee most grateful? Tonight,
Ayat (verses from the Quran) were sent down to me,
woe unto he who reads them and does not think about
them, “Verily in the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there
are indeed Signs for men of understanding. Those who
remember Allah (always in prayer) standing, sitting,
and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about
the creation of the heavens and the earth. [3:190-
191].’
This guidance and perfection achieved in the life and

teachings of the Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh) if practiced
sincerely is what Quran refers to those priests and
monks in the following verses who are rightly guided, still
using the word Rahab, as used in the above verses.
Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity
to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are
Al-Mushrikun (see V.2:105), and you will find the nearest
in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are
Christians." That is because amongst them are priests
and monks, and they are not proud
And again
And when they hear what has been revealed to the

Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears
because of what they have recognized of the truth.
They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us
among the witnesses.
Islam is a religion of intentions (Niyah). Those scholars

of Islam, who equate Sufism with monastic asceticism,
miss the subtleness of the intentions, why would God
here praise those same Monks. I am not advocating
otherworldliness to a point of neglecting the covenants.
He (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to say: All actions

are by intention, and every man shall have what he
intended.
If a physicist or a chemist working in a Darul Hikmet,

reflecting on the divine book of nature, a doctor
devoting selflessly to his profession, a judge giving a
right decision even it be against his son, brother or
father, a political scientist, a social worker or a leader
holding himself or herself as accountable to God and
remembering Him at all times, attains the status of
Allah’s devotee or servant. Unfortunately for the actions
of some, right institutions are blamed. Quran mentions
the priests and monks as practicing a truncated version
of Judaism and Christianity, as at variance with the true
faith.
(Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks
to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in
things which they made lawful or unlawful according to
their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and
(they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam
(Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were
commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)) to worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La
ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but
He). Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He) from
having the partners they associate (with Him)."
And many of these priests and monks hoarded gold,

silver, and wealth which they were not entitled.
O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish)
rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth
of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way
of Allah (i.e. Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism). And
those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money,
the Zakat of which has not been paid], and spend it not in
the Way of Allah, -announce unto them a painful torment.
And again Syed Abu Ala Maududi in his Tehfeem ul

Quran remarks.
‘This verse embodies two directives. The first is that

man should not attribute to himself the authority to
proclaim things either lawful or unlawful according to his
own wishes. Only that which God has held to be lawful is
lawful, and only that which God has declared unlawful is
unlawful. If men were to declare certain things either
lawful or unlawful on their own authority, they would not
be following the law of God but their own laws. The
second directive is that they should not adopt the course
of world-renunciation and abstention from worldly
pleasures as the Christian monks, Hindu mendicants,
Buddhist bhikshus and illuminist mystics did. Religious-
minded and virtuous people have always tended to
consider their physical and carnal desires an impediment
to spiritual growth. They have considered suffering,
deprivation from worldly pleasures and abstention from
the means of worldly sustenance to be acts of goodness
and indispensable for achieving proximity to God. Even
some of the Companions leaned in this direction. The
Prophet (peace be on him) once came to know that some
Companions had resolved that they would fast without
interruption, that instead of spending the night on their
beds they would remain awake praying, that they would
consume neither meat nor fat, and would have no (sexual)
relations with women. The Prophet (peace be on him)
addressed the people on this subject and said: 'I have
not been commanded to do so. Even your own self has
rights against you. So, fast on certain days and refrain
from fasting on others. Stay awake praying at night and
also sleep. Look at me; 1 sleep as well as stay awake
(praying); sometimes I fast and sometimes I don't. I
consume meat as well as fat. Whosoever dislikes my way
does not belong to me.' He then added: 'What has
happened to people that they have prohibited for
themselves women, good food, perfumes, sleep and the
pleasures of the world, whereas I have not taught you to
become monks and priests. In my religion there is neither
abstention from women nor from meat, neither seclusion
nor withdrawal.
For the purposes of self-control my religion has fasting.
As for monasticism, all its benefits can be derived from
jihad (struggle in the way of God). Serve God and
associate none with Him. Perform Hajj and 'Umrah,
establish Prayers, dispense Zakah and observe the fasts
of Ramadan. Those who were destroyed before you were
destroyed because they were severe with themselves,
and when they became severe with themselves God
became severe with them as well. It is the remnants of
such people who you see in the oratories and hermitages
of monks.' (Ibn Kathir, vol. 2, pp. 626 and 628-9 - Ed.).
Only Allah (swt) knows best. May Allah (swt) again

forgive me for interpreting the verses on Priests and
Monks in parallel with Ulema and Sufis of Islam.
According as the verses of Quran explain both their
attributes of virtue and vice.
What these scholars are trying to explain, is cleared by

the two verses in the Quran.
And most of them believe not in Allah without

associating (other as partners) with Him!.(Quran 12:106).
It is imperative to guard against shirk, which can appear
in any form and shape.

A gibbous moon is visible above Earth's atmosphere,

photographed by an STS-128 crew member on the Space
Shuttle Discovery, during flight day three activities in
this NASA handout photo taken August 30, 2009.

A perfect balance, inner harmony and the right direction

or path is achieved with reflecting and using knowledge
acquired through sense perception, together with
practicing piety.
Another misconception in the hearts of those who dread

Shirk in any form or shape, Is that out of our zeal for
purification, we forget the importance in the life and
teachings of Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh). The parallels in
the history and later day developments in Judaism,
Christianity and Islam sometimes baffle, the mind, with
similar practices arising in context of Shirk. But what
does Allah (swt) says about His Prophet.
Verily, those who give Bai'a (pledge) to you (O Muhammad
SAW) they are giving Bai'a (pledge) to Allah. The Hand
of Allah is over their hands. Then whosoever breaks his
pledge, breaks only to his own harm, and whosoever
fulfills what he has covenanted with Allah, He will bestow
on him a great reward.
Verily the best Guide, is Allah (swt) the Creator and the,
Sustainer, the Lord of the Seen and Unseen, the Wise
and the Mighty, the First and the Last, the Rehman and
the Rahim.
.
No kind of calamity can occur, except by the leave of

Allah: and if any one believes in Allah, (Allah) guides his
heart (aright): for Allah knows all things.
Praying for His forgiveness with a weeping eye and

softness of the heart in the middle and early morning
hours of the night. In the utter darkness of the universe,
left only with His Light, The Creator and creation
without any intercession.
Say: "O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against
themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair
not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins.
Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
The Quran says ayah 17-36
And pursue not that

Of which thou hast
No knowledge; for
Or of seeing,
Knowledge is gained by using; the senses acquired by
humans through natural selection or more aptly directed
evolution. God’s gift’s accountable to Him .Anything not
verifiable by these faculties or the modern day
instruments an extension of these senses, in the realm of
the seen or unseen, does not constitute Knowledge. With
the exception of God, His angels, the knowledge of Ruh
and what He hides from his creation. And merging it with
piety or vica versa, the two domains of scholarship from
the Quran working in tandem.
Synthetic a priori knowledge and assertions acquired in

the Qalb. Quran explains
No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision:
He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all
things.
And the analytic propositions, deductive truths and

empirical values of the a posteriori sense perceptions.
Though Kant here misses the essentials of knowledge, as
both physics and metaphysics, for a Dr Stephan Hawking
or Hazrat Mian Bashir R.A , are relative to their concrete
experiences. One having a certainty in the domain of
sense perception the laws of physics, the other on the
Creator of the universe. A synthesis of both in the life
and practices of Nuclear Engineer, Momin and Ulul Albab
Sultan Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood.
.
Continuing on the importance of study of history as

mentioned in various verses of the Quran.
Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of

understanding. It (the Quran) is not a forged statement
but a confirmation of the Allah's existing Books [the
Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel) and other Scriptures
of Allah] and a detailed explanation of everything and a
guide and a Mercy for the people who believe.
Here the essence of Quran is substantiated by those who

delve into these signs with the sincerest of hearts. A
book to be lived and acted upon in every moment of ones
existence, no sooner as one reads and understands its
messages, to the fullest extent of ones vigor and talent.
For soul of every person is like a plant in nature, which
grows when tendered with light and water, air and soil,
and withers away when unattended. Quran a therapeutic
balm balancing heart and mind of the insane e kamil with
reason being subservient to the Lord of the Worlds
within the context of Tawhid. Explained by the friend of
Allah (swt) the Sufi saint Abdul Hakim Murad.
“This is the Quran as healing (17:82) a balm for hearts.

The scripture seems to apply that our tragedy is an
ignorant alienation from the Real, wherein lies all
wholeness and appropriateness, and that only Heaven can
send down the rain which revives the hearts. Whether it
saves through its calligraphy or its cantillation, the Book
does not seem to be saving through reason, it does not
deny it, but it insists on ‘descending upon your heart’
(2:97), for its Author is not reached by the faculties of
perception (6:103).
Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he

who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O
Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that
which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for
the believers.
No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision:
He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all
things
Allah (swt) reclaims the heart of such a friend and opens

it up to Islam.
Is one whose heart
Allah has opened to Islam,
So that he has received
Enlightenment from Allah,
(no better than one hard-hearted)?
Woe to those whose hearts
Are hardened against celebrating
The praises of Allah! They
Are manifestly wandering
(in error)!
Allah(swt) gives the reason for people who do not believe

in his Signs, namely Pride and seeking Greatness.
Those who dispute about the signs of Allah without any

authority bestowed on them,- there is nothing in their
breasts but (the quest of) greatness, which they shall
never attain to: seek refuge, then, in Allah: It is He Who
hears and sees (all things).
Besides the signs of God, to be reflected upon in the

study of nature, there are laws to regulate and conduct
the affairs of men and women of understanding. Being of
a superior intelligence and free will, as compared to the
more inspired BEE and its colony (Inayat ullah describes
as labour by intensive regimentation), easily prone to
being domesticated by the evil of their fellow beings,
under economic, political, social duress. Imitating their
beliefs as absolute truths being enslaved in the process
under the guise of modern, civilized cultures. Here Syed
Qutb has elaborated “In the Shade of the Quran”.
“The Quran was bestowed from on high to Muhammad,

God’s Messenger, so that he might, by means of it,
establish a state, bring a community into being, organize
a society, cultivate minds and consciences and set moral
values. The Qur’an was also to set the bonds that would
operate within the Muslim community, as also define the
international relations the Muslim state might have. All
these were to be firmly joined together, so that all their
parts would form one coherent whole, stemming from a
single source and referring to a single authority. This is,
in fact, the nature of religion, as defined by God and
practiced by Muslims in the days when they were indeed
truly Muslims.”
Quran is the commands of Allah (swt), which He says
descends on the earth and the entire universe. Humans
given to pride, anger, domination, greed, lust for power,
wealth, jealousy, immoral behavior (under stresses and
pressures of life, weak by nature) needs guidance.
There is life in the law of Al-Qisas, a lesson for men and

And there is (a saving of) life for you in Al-Qisas (the

Law of Equality in punishment), O men of understanding,
that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2).
The importance of free will also entails and carries a

covenant with God, in moral, ethical instructions,
legislation on diet, conduct in war and peace, abolition of
usury etc,
Another important and fundamental question is what the
Quran mentions as to the nature of the heart “Truly
there is a reminder in this for anyone who has a heart, or
who listens attentively with presence of mind(Quran
50:37).”As Iqbal alludes to his guiding Nietzsche if he
were alive.
The “I am” which he seeketh,

Lieth beyond philosophy, beyond knowledge.
The plant that groweth only from the invisible soil of the
heart of man,
Groweth not from a mere heap of clay!
Islamic mysticism as it seeks the ultimate reality is a

further extension of the mysticism of the followers of
original church of Jesus (Pbuh), his ministry in his earthly
life. For what it seeks is a possession of the heart of the
individual soul, “They shall be only thine own, and not
strangers' with thee" (Prov. v. 17), and again
" Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his
wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let
not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that
glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth
me"(jer. ix. 22,23).
True to these dual teachings of piety and righteous

deeds, Dr Ali Shariati the martyr saint elaborates.” As
for the Qur'an, it is a book resembling the Torah (Old
Testament) which contains social, political, and military
precepts, including instructions for conducting a war and
capturing as well as the freeing of captives. It is also a
book which emphasizes the purification of nature, the
piety of the soul, and the exalting ethics of the
individual.
As to the prophet Mohammad (PBUH), he was also a man

with two profiles (as we see in the history of celebrities)
combined in one spirit. He was a man continuously at war,
politically and militarily, with the enemies and the
subversive elements of society. His aim was to build a
modern society and civilization, while guiding humanity
towards a distinct goal. But above all he was devout and
virtuous.
Finally, the fruits of the prophet's training are Ali,

Abuzar, and Salman. These are among the very few two-
dimensional human beings of the world. These were men
of politics and war, who struggled for a better existence.
They spent a lifetime in the battlefields, military
training, scientific inquiry and discussion. They were also
virtuous on par with the monks and theosophists of the
East. Today, with the information available on his
meditations on God, Abuzar is the best guide to knowing
the Qur'an. A look at the prophet's companions indicates
that all were just, sensitive warriors, and constructive
individuals who were concerned with building a better
society and establishing justice.
Conclusions
In Islam man is not subjugated by God, since he is the
Lord's associate, friend, trustee, and kinsman on earth.
God taught man and all the angels prostrated themselves
before him. Thus, such a two-dimensional being needs a
religion which can protect him from swinging to either
asceticism or worldliness, and continually keep him at an
equilibrium. Only a two-dimensional religion is able to give
reality to man's great responsibility.”
It is only in context to these teachings, that this essay

mentions physics and mathematics, masquerading as and
replacing the Ultimate Ego, or its creation the human
observer being relegated by the instrument recording
the outcome of an experiment in quantum physics, here
both the creative activity of God and His Vice-regent act
to determine the outcome. God when the human observer
did not exist or does not exist. The creative activity of
this Ultimate Ego and its creation in the outer horizons
and inner manifestations slowly passing from One to the
other as more and more of His creation assimilates the
Intelligence, Will and Power of the Creator. A unity
manifested in the outcome of the creative activity of the
Creator and the created. Sense perception and inner
intuition actualized into the outcome of its role in the
development to the status of Khalifa Phil Ardh, Vice-
regent. In practice all human activity whether of a
doctor, an engineer or some one engaged in the study of
nature, a soldier defending the interest of Islam, is a
mystic in the way of Allah (swt).
Dr Chitick mentions.
“True intellectual knowledge is altogether different. It is

not achieved by standing on anyone’s shoulders. Only what
is known in the depths of the soul, without intermediary,
is intellectual in the proper sense of the word. No one can
pass such knowledge on to someone else, nor can it be
found by reading and study. It must be realized within
oneself through a long process of mental training and
inner purification.”

Asaalam o Alaikum,
A few years ago in 2012 , one evening in Ramadhan , while being stripped of everything,
both material and spiritual, I had a vision or a dream, and you were the first one to
confirm it...Alhamad u Lillah, my journey continues.. May Allah Subhana-hu give you the
maqam, the Creator has envisioned for you..
Attached above is a Facebook page on the few things, have done so far...
My thesis if you can so call it, is to bring the effort of the Academia to the common
man, or the new journey which includes Kalam argument both equipped with Science
and Technology and If Sultan can get into your hands then you can pierce the
heavens..Javed Nama Allama Iqbal...Or propagating the Kalam argument, to those
arriving in the mosque...still waiting once the Cambridge mosque is completed to install
the telescope both Optical and Radio.(have found some inexpensive way to make
them..)
My approach or steps, is 1. Go the Mosque.2. Attract attention by offering a free

telescope.3. Starting the dialogue on Kalam, subsequently giving them time to assimilate
each step.
Best Regards,
Imran.
P.S Kindly do not think I am propagating my self but an IDEA.
Cambridge Muslim College paper:
Kal¥m was further classified into jalÏl al-kal¥m and daqÏq al-kal¥m. The
former is the part dealing with problems related to the divine attributes,
the resurrection of the dead, and the questions which relate to the divine
knowledge, will, and power. These subjects lead on to the question of human
free will, as held by one school of kal¥m, and the counterproposal of self-
acquisition (kasb) of actions that was suggested by another school. By
contrast, daqÏq al-kal¥m deals with problems of natural philosophy, most
prominent among which is the question DaqÏq al-Kal¥m: A Basis for an
Islamic Philosophy of Science M.B. Altaie Professor of Cosmology and Head
of the Department of Physics, Yarmouk University, 21163, Irbid, Jordan.
cmc papers no.4 - 2 - DaqÏq al-Kal¥m: A Basis for an Islamic Philosophy of
Science cmc papers no.4 briefly through some vital problems where I feel
some genuine research work needs to be done in order to identify the
possible scope for deploying kal¥m in the contemporary science-religion
dialogue. Reasons for the rise of kal®m Historically, one can say that two
basic motivations drove the emergence of kal¥m. The first was internal:
different opinions expressed by Muslim theologians on the fate of sinners
initiated an argument that proceeded to develop into a whole tradition of
thought. For example some theologians suggested that a Muslim sinner is a
nonbeliever and should be considered k¥fir (one who negates Islamic belief).
Other theologians suggested that he should be considered only ‘corrupt’
(f¥siq), a technical middle position which lay between the status of k¥fir and
believer. The second reason for kal¥m’s emergence was the reaction of the
Muslims to the new ideas and thoughts they faced when they came into
contact with different nations and civilizations, particularly the classical
Mediterranean and the Indic. This contact, at a time when Muslims were the
dominating power in the world, created a ‘dialogue between civilizations’
rather than a ‘clash of civilizations’. It is unfortunate and disappointing that
humanity in our time, thirteen centuries after that great experience, now
feels that it exists only in a state of clash between civilizations, as
articulated by the American strategist Samuel Huntington. The two main
schools of kal®m The mutakallim‰n (the doctors of kal¥m) formed two
main schools: the Mu¢tazilites, who were the first to be formed, and the
Ash¢arites. Prominent leaders of the Mu¢tazilite school included W¥|il ibn
¢A~¥’ (d. 748), ¢Amr ibn ¢Ubayd (d. 761), Abu’lHudhayl al-¢All¥f (d. 840),
Ibr¥hÏm alNa··¥m(d. 835), and al-J¥^i· (d. 868). Most of the original
contributions of the leaders of kal¥m have been lost, but some of their of
the creation of the world, its structure, temporal development, and the
meaning of causality. This entails discussions of the concepts of space, time,
motion, force, and many other aspects of the physical world. Using Ian
Barbour’s terminology one might say that jalÏl al-kal¥m could be called
‘natural theology’ whereas daqÏq al-kal¥m is the ‘theology of nature.’1
Despite the fact that the subject of daqÏq alkal¥m has been somewhat
neglected, I feel that this trend has much to offer to the fields of natural
philosophy and the contemporary arguments in the debate between science
and religion, and therefore is well worth studying. It will be shown that
daqÏq al-kal¥m can provide the basis for a contemporary philosophy of
science which resolves many of the philosophical questions raised by modern
physics. Many of the arguments of daqÏq alkal¥m are still living and have
sound value in contemporary science and the philosophy of modern science.
The ‘kal¥m cosmological argument’ which was re-devised by William Craig2 is
just one contemporary example in a whole field of ideas, concepts, and
arguments that could be utilized by modern philosophers of science.
However, the subject is in such a state now that it cannot lend itself to an
effective role unless it is first purified, reformulated and harmonized to fit
the categories of modern philosophy. Much work and painstaking effort must
be expended before daqÏq al-kal¥m is fit for a contemporary role...Dr M.B
Altaie.

From: imran600@hotmail.com
Subject: [abdalians_14th:6009] Pir Bhai Sohail,
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 02:07:55 +0000
Pir Bhai Sohail,
I have switched back, to calling you Pir.
I for some reason missed your earlier email addressed to

Aamir, If I mention you directly or indirectly is a clash of
ideas which flourish best when there is a constant
challenge not standing the heating of our minds once in a
while, it’s purely your scholarship that impresses me, has
nothing to do with our relations on a personal level.
Though you occasionally give me a cold shoulder a product
of your expertise in your trading days, which I did try to
understand by reading you and your personality, as your
article Candle in the Dark is a self-analysis, as the one on
Chowk. Do not get me wrong I am not trying to belittle
you, but your ideas related to god are, having the best of
intentions, with best of conviction and deem logical are
extremely hard to change, understand that for a cold,
calculated mind which to a certain degree is mine too, if
not cold and calculated but certainly very skeptical. As
you mentioned me in your reply to Aamir. I take the
opportunity to answer back.
Where is the evidence, the evidence is in the people(in

your kind of search) and the nature out there after you
understand them, if you consider Imran to be delusional,
you have to enter his mind, by going to those Baba's you
call reciting abracadabra. You almost always ignore this
part of my argument. If Imran is delusional then Pakistan
ka Allah Hafiz.
Call it delusion, madness, janoon, history is full of

eccentric people, but we measure their success with their
fruits that they delivered , or perhaps IF A
PSYCHOPATH or a neurotic carried to success a great
idea, which I believe is carried to some extent by those
possessed by an idea or a path. On a closer inspection one
can see the Psycho part. I would call it single track mind,
though at best the ideas on closer inspection also carries
away the personality it harbors/engulfs, meaning there
being possessed by it reflected though by the habits,
strengths, weaknesses, character, environment etc. of
these individuals. The fine line between delusional
behavior and rational behavior is best described in case
of Pauli, in our favorite chemistry class
Kr]=1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6, describing the number of
electrons in the orbital shells. Jung personally had him as
his patient. Some fall on the border line, how can we
define SANITY?
Hence Dr Anniemarie Schimmel is basically describing the
same Baba's but in a sophisticated language, so is a
William James a Professor at Harvard in his "Varieties of
religious experience" he read at Edinburgh during his
presentation of Gifford Lectures, so does Carl Sagan
with his " The Varieties of scientific experience" a
lecture in the same series I was never able to bridge the
gap only recently, a big fan of his all his life, and still,
never figuring out what prevented a scientific mind to
take a leap, hence my recent research, I could have been
from any other religion, and not Islam as you mention.
So, once you are free we will undertake a journey in the

mind of these Baba's, there is big fraternity of Christian
mystics in a town in upper New York, perhaps would visit
them, but certainly not the free for all communities.
Why do I stress about "Mysticism" OR "Religion in

General" is that your are correct to a certain extent, one
is born and remain emotionally attached to the idea one
cannot escape its repercussions, but I honestly feel again
not being funny here, you are an arm chair "General", not
having any intention of exhausting all options, when you
say you have read the Qur'an in detail, I do not doubt
that, but there are many who were born as Christians, I
am not talking about the general public but the best
minds, who after a long process(genuine in their search
found God).
To name a few. Both Christians who become Islamic
mystics, and Christians mystics themselves, religion has a
very deep meaning a continuity missed by a casual
observer.
1. Hamza Yusuf, Zaytuna college.(Born an American, I
mean a white one, well everyone can be white, will not by
analysis in paralysis.
2. Dr Timothy Winter, a.k.a Abdal Hakim Murad. Double
tripos in Arabic, says religion without inspiration is dry as
dust. (Can argue against that.)
3. Goethe, reading about Hafiz, Sadi and many Iranians
wrote the "Western Divan" if you call him to be any one
less than a genius would be a surprise to me. Captivated
by Shakespeare which as you say could carry his seeds.
4. Tennyson, Milton, even Newton. Einstein was too busy
flirting around given to the pressure of his work to have
studied the Jewish faith, well I might be wrong here ( if
you research William James "Varieties of Religious
experiences" and the chapter on mysticism , can do more
analytical digging in the mind of whom you call a
fanatic.(mazhabi janoon.)
Your structure is very very(two times) sound, but misses

the detail.
Goethe does not fall in the category of "Only the minor,

personally less significant decisions are based on rational
analysis ... and those too only among the minority who
possess the capacity to process a rational thought -- an
uncommon ability among our species."
I bet you will never read Goethe in detail. You can write
that on a piece of paper, this is not autosuggestion. I like
your link that you put up, religions continue to flourish
not because of an accident but inspiration, and you will
always dub it as delusion.
Do not agree with you:

Some of us, on the other hand are born to endure these

sions_and_the_Madness_of_Crowds
Regards,
Imran.
P.S My only regret is in the crossfire many get hurt.
Thanks for enduring, a relative frame of reference you
prefer to choose.
SO THIS DEBATE WILL CONTINUE WITH OUT AN END. EACH

PARTY GIVING ITS VIEWS TO THE ANNOYANCE OF OTHERS.
ALTHOUGH THERE IS TRUTH IN BOTH.

2:16 AM
To: Shakeel Hye
http://www.islam-guide.com/islam-guide.pdf
Dear Shakeel bhai,
Asaalam O Alikum,
Thank you for reminding, again missed as came home late.

I was able to start today to teach some students from
grades 3-5 in the Sunday school, is very refreshing.
The area covered was sūrat l-zalzalah, it was an

opportunity to have them acquainted with the day of
judgment and the mention of earth throwing out what it
contains or throws out its burden.
So taught the students about the Mantle of the earth,

including inside containing melted/molten iron, producing
magnetic fields around the earth protecting us in the
process from radiation from the sun. And the periodic
table of elements, which some of them know, at a basic
level. Now this group of students is stretched from
grade 3-5, not necessarily each student knows
everything, but as a sum total all the topics I covered
they are familiar with.
As they have been taught about tectonic plates in school

creating earth quakes, were able to understand what will
happen when the earth is shaken up. And humans will get
distressed what is happening to the earth. As getting
inspiration the earth will relate how they behaved, doing
good and evil.
They acknowledged I mean the students, that everything

is from God.
I was in return able to learn the correct pronunciation as

we read the Arabic, they being children from Arabic
speaking families.
Also discussed the water cycle and the process of

evaporation, how plants produce starch and food from
photosynthesis all of them have learned in school, so a
connection can be established while reading the Qur'an ,
and showed them verses about how clouds are formed.
Sahih International: Do you not see that Allah drives
clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes
them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from
within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of
clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom
He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of
its lightening almost takes away the eyesight.
In a process described in the books we have ordered.

Showed the figures in the book.
" Illustrated understanding of Islam" with such terms as

:
Joining:
Then the small clouds join together forming a larger
cloud
1
(see figures 18 and 19)
Stacking:
When the small clouds join together, updrafts
within the larger cloud increase. The updrafts near the
center
of the cloud are stronger than those near the edges.
1
These
updrafts cause the cloud body to grow vertically, so the
cloud is stacked up (see figures 19 (B), 20, and 21).
There are two sections of activity, first reading Qur'an

for about one and half hour, which was sūrat l-zalzalah,
and then the second portion is from a book called "I love
Islam" in which the topic for today was (sūrat quraysh).
How Prophet Sallalahu Alahi Walaahi Wasallam, used to
trade with Yemen in winter and Syria in summer, told
them how the caravans in those days traveled on camels,
the ship of the desert, we explored how the camel is
created, I was quite amazed from their knowledge and
learned from the students, how camel stores fat and
water. We treat children's in our culture as children,
while the system here in America, tries to discipline them
to become kind of adults at a very young age , and feel
responsible.

Asaalam o Alaikum,
It has been a while have not communicated with you, I keep on writing my
essay on men and women of understanding Ulul Albaab.
DEFINITION AND CORRECT MEANINGS OF THE WORD (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬.

ْ
Qur'an does render the correct premises in the word, (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ a title
granted by none other than the Creator and Sustainer Allah (swt) Himself,
Lord of the seen and unseen, as the epitome of all understanding, modern
scientism, excludes domains of experience beyond sense perception, limits
human intellect (Aql ) in its search of the Providence. The unity of the
message of Qur'an for men and women of understanding is in essence the
oneness of God.(Tawhid). It is not preordained for it can lead to shirk, but
an actualization of the self or ego achieved in the hearts of the (‫أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ by the Grace and Will of Allah (swt). The two acts of this Will of
the Almighty, the inward (Batin) and the outward (Zahir), the Creator of
things in pairs is reflected by theRuh of the insan al kamil, the divine
vicegerent (naib). As the definition of the word (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ symbolizes.
Leading to the hadith of the Prophet of Islam, ‘Takhallaqu bi-akhlaq Allah’,
‘Create in yourself the attributes of God.’ Fortified with.
1. Tawhid
This (Quran) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), in
order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is
theonly One Ilah (God - Allah) - (none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah), and that Ulul Albab( men and women of understanding) may take
heed.
2. Hikmah
He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted,

is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember (will receive
admonition) except Ulul Albab (men and women of understanding.)7
3. Two kinds of verses in the Quran. A) Have clear meanings. B) Having hidden
meanings or not yet understood because knowledge has not advanced to that
level.
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or
fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book:
others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the
part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden
meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who
are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of
it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except Ulul Albab
(men and women of understanding).
4. Endowed with Knowledge and Taqwa , without pride, and false ego, choose
the right meaning of the words.
Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are
the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with
understanding.
For Quran warns those who invent false Hadith, or words in the following
verse.
But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without knowledge
(or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah and throw ridicule (on
the Path): for such there will be a Humiliating Penalty.
5. Revelations (Hadith, words of Allah) in the divine book of nature and the
divine books revealed to the Prophets.

And the alternation
Of Night and Day
Those who remember God, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and
reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying): "Our Lord,
You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from
I have extended Ulul Albaab from 3:189:200 as suggested by Dr Azhar my

mentor, as he says this gives the whole process that a Sufi who is also a
naturalist goes through. And read the ayaahs in their whole context.
And I pointed out to him have we ever noticed when Qur'an gives an
authentication of women or female as also included in the Ulul Albaab, as my
mentor is kind of patriarchal.
Yusuf Ali: And their Lord hath accepted of them, and answered them:
"Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or
female: Ye are members, one of another: Those who have left their homes,
or been driven out therefrom, or suffered harm in My Cause, or fought or
been slain,- verily, I will blot out from them their iniquities, and admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath;- A reward from the presence of
Allah, and from His presence is the best of rewards."
Male and Female if we consider the ayaah 3:189-200 not doing a selective
study but in the whole context. Female too are Ulul Albaab, where our Talib
(student back in Pakistan, through all his sincerity misses this point in
Islamic Education.) in the process destroying girls schools.
Do not describe the vision or dream one has but to describe its FAIZ.
But I still consider you the first person in the whole wide world that I
described my vision to the first time.
I have send Zaytuna college and their Dean Mr Mahan Mirza a telescope as
per your suggestion and last month added a CCD camera to take pictures of
the COSMOS. Samawat wal Ardh and our Nafs together forms the
laboratory to see the ayaat of the Almighty Creator. Will inshaAllah mail
them to your when their Astronomy department has a class in the spring
semester only.
Bringing the naming rights back, I have named scientist as Ulul Albaab, in
my essay, which has grown so extensive cannot email it any more.
Dear Shaykh, all this effort also includes Tazkia e nafs please pray for me
to have a pure heart, as the word Lub signifies,if we read Arabic English
Lexicon by William Edward Lane describes as the choicest part or a purified
heart.
I have been in my discussion with my mentor pointed out to this, he was

adamant at first not understanding Ulul Albaab, but after an effort of two
years, we have come to a mutual understanding, Ulul Albaab are in fact
Arafoons , and that Ulul Albaab is the potential nursery in which waliyat is
born or enriched. JazakAllah khair.
As my mentor used to stress on Kashf ul Majub sharif only but I have

convinced him, though that is the fundamental book still in Islamic
tasawwaff in Lahore Pakistan, but Ulul Albaab should also be included in its
dictionary. In a lecture by Dr Martin Lings in Lahore in 2005 he pointed to
the word Ulul Albaab as the Quranic authentication of the word Sufi. And
now listening to your lectures on Islamic Education more closely today I
wondered am I rediscovering the wheel, the ones you gave in Ft Lauder-dale
Fl.
But reminds me of Dr Ali Shariati who said a genius throws ideas down like a
pyramid, captured by the intellectuals, who then pass them on to the general
masses.
Though not claiming to be an intellect but just bouncing your ideas. I have
launched a vigorous campaign to introduce the idea of Ulul Albaab in our
mosque and schools around, and writing flyers and handouts to advertise
Islamic Education as also stressed by you, in your lectures.
As, I have also given or denoted books to Pak-Turk school in Lahore, and
trying to build a Radio Telescope in my former alma-mater near Islamabad.
I, have talked to the mayor of the city of Sunrise in Ft Lauder-dale to have

a program to install telescopes and use it as a meeting point for interfaith
activity.
I keep on translating from Urdu to English the mehfil or sangaat of my

mentor Dr Azhar Waheed, as we have four hour lecture by him every
saturday on skype.
I am blessed by Almighty when a few years back I had complained to you, I

read the Quran without a guide. I found Dr Azhar a Sufi scholar from
Pakistan, but I STILL do not understand the concept of Wahadat ul Wajud,
would go by the definition of Yusuf Ali for now , "Not everything is He
but His is everything" as differing from my mentor, who says according to
his mentor Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif r.a
"Wahadat ul Wajood is a mushaida" La majud Allah, concepts difficult for me

to understand at my present state or station. I am a novice in taraiqah just
peeping in the class to get a glimpse.
Question:- I have a question in my mind , I have read a lot about it,

asked many people this question, which is why has the Khalaqa Kainat
(Creator of the Universe) arranged and created this whole
Nizaam(system), a question I have asked many and usually get
a traditional answer.
Answer: Let us view this question from a different angle, although this is not
an answer. If you note that when you get into a relationship with someone,
then the question of asking how and why immaterializes. And if the
relationship is not developed or is in the stage of developing, or the question
of developing does not arises at all, then the questions of how and why are
infinite. Why did you do this, why did you that. But if one gets hold of the
link to a relationship, then instead of asking one starts to narrate and to
answer. There is one relationship between the Khaliq(Creator) and
the Makhlooq(created), and the other being a secular relationship, which is
relationship of the Creator with every of His creation, with every being,
with an ant , a lion, but in the relationship with Insaan(human) there is
something special of what that has been communicated is in the form of
Quran e Pak. How and why, to ask the questions there was by Insaan (human)
and to reply there was Insaan(human).
In Arabic language Taa is used instead of Tuu, so using Taa the word
becomes Taluq , so the whole Ilm is tere taluq ka naam, Your relationship.
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),
Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).

There is a point created by the Sufia, yeh tera taluq hai, this question you
asked has another dimension, another perspective, how did I arrive here,
what is the meaning of my being here, question is the same, the question is
being asked more decently , if we get answer to this question we get answer
to the others, in Quran it says ‘Do not ask, but instead you will be asked’ I
usually ponder what will be asked of us, like did you read the Quran, and said
yournamaz, but another question can also be asked in this context is , did
you in this vast world where from besides Milton and Archimedes to Abu Ali
Sina, Rumi and Razi pondered on at their levels, did you also try to discover
yourself, who are you ?, where did you come from?, what is your purpose?,
if we see a graph paper, and the four axis go into infinity. When we draw
anything on the graph we need a reference point, drawing anything without a
reference point will be meaningless, unless a person considers himself as the
reference point and starts to find and make himself the reference point and
then the meaning of these questions of why, and how start to unravel . The
question is what is the Wajah e Taqhleeq Kainaat? You will not get an
answer to your question from outside, like if you are working in a bank, I as
an outsider will ask what are these people doing from morning to evening,
keep on counting repeatedly like some mad adventure. But those working in
the bank a part of the bank, know it is a very serious issue , like those
working in the World Bank, a little error in calculations will cause great
problems, a small discrepancy in counting will be hazardous for the bank. So
even to find the Maqsad(purpose) you have to become a part of
this Nizam, those people who ponder on how the Creator created this
vast Nizam stretching into billions of years,
working effortlessly, reflecting how a child is born, then one has to
become a part of the Nizam e Qudrat of the Khaliq consciously not
academically butilmi and consciously, in this respect the education given to
us is first enter Taslim then do Research , reach research through Taslim,
Iman is the syllabus of the heart, not of logic, The question is what is
the Wajah e Taqhleeq Kainaat? We have to create Taluq first as its solves
all entanglement of the rope, do know the kuna, the root cause for which we
have to become first the part of the Nizam ,then things will start
to Ashkaar( unravel), like while working in a bank the first we thing we do is
apprenticeship , although already having studied banking, so instead of
asking the Creator why and how He started the creation, why everything has
been created, first find yourself finding a reference point in your own
self then all the drawings and maps will manifest on the graph, we do not
understand things because we try to understand from
a mantqi (reasoning) point of view, so that we would be able to communicate
to others, instead of controlling the impulse to narrate to others, and coming
out of this impulse to tell others, instead of deciding only to narrate to
ourselves and understand only ourselves and not to tell anyone else then we
will see we understand much more , usually when a person hears or read he
tries to rationalize, because if he has to tell someone else then he should
have logic, so if the human instinct to rationalize and human intellect has a
basic instinct to rationalize is overcome for a short time , our scenario and
our aperture will open, like in a dream when we are trying to understand or
communicate, in a dream we don’t have an impulse to communicate so in a
dream we understand much more. The filter of logic removes many pearls of
wisdom, and many pearls do not pass through the filter, thinking as leftover
a human throws them away.
Answer: The better approach is to disregard the earlier approaches written
on ones mindset, that slate should be cleaned, then in the state of
acceptance (ba halaat e tasleem) try to read whatever is being written by
itself, since whatever has already been written so far on our mind has been
written by some one else by others, on the contrary what is in our slate we
have written by our own hands, the only book that is verifiable is the one
which is our own book.
Answer: This question is very important of how to clean the slate, this is a
very easy and a very difficult way, if one is in Tasleem of someone it is a
matter of 2 minutes, but if one does not come in Tasleem can become a
stupendous task of life. When one comes in Tasleem( accepts) someone
things become very easy, I will give you my personal experience, when I came
in the company of Sarkar Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, I had read all the
philosophies of old Greece, Khalil Gibran, the Halqa Arbab e Zauq , the
critics gatherings, laden with all, but it was miracle not my effort, miracle
was his, when we came in his trance, when he made us Tasleem , not saying
we came in Tasleem since we did not know, when and how we came
in Tasleem, it never came to the mind that this point was discussed by this
Sufi or that writer, also said something like this, not coming in the
developing stage, I came when having read everything , so it was a
his Ijaz that all that was written , the heart and mind came together ,
otherwise one says I am listening and this is just one, of the
many explanations this did not happen. So this is the way of cleaning the
slate, cleaning the slate is a spiritual level and journey of all spiritual
matters and tasks start throughTasleem, bypassing the contents of the
Mind and the bypassing the mind is accepting Tasleem. If we reflect on how
big the Haqiqat are the Angels, reward and punishment, Allah Tala which do
not come in our experience, but as soon we come into Tasleem , we become
of those Haqaiq, saying salaam to the angels and getting wa alikum salaam.
The whole Ijaz is of Tasleem, getting in the domain of Hadood e Haraam,
when those who have not accepted find a board, that says those not in
Tasleem go this way, only those with Tasleem go this way as the Hadood e
Haraam has come when we go to umra there is a board, when coming into
Muslim town about 35 miles ahead is a board the rest are sent in the bypass,
its all a story of Tasleem , the cleaning of the slate is smaller event
, Tasleem does big events, so cleaning the slate is matter of Tasleem with
the brush of tasleem, eroding all other brushes, as the saying goes, the pen
was given , giving us permission to write, whatever one want to write,
example when we come to a physician carrying many files, the physician
prescribes a certain medicine knowing what medicine to prescribe , like in a
spiritual prescription too we work in a hit and trial method, going to
different doctors, and also having our own prescription, so Taslim makes one
focused, removing any torsion in transmission.
What is the relationship between Tasleem and Mohabbat is tasleem
possible without

Present day anathema of modern science, subjugating the inner experiences

of the heart, relegating the human from its role as vice-regent to the role
of a tool making, lower animal, losing all higher strivings, mired in the
pleasure of the body at the cost of the soul, for what is body but the
evolution and symmetry breaking of the universe from the big bang to the
present, having come a long way from being enriched and tossed in the
firmament and cores of the stars, fine tuned at each epoch. Each individual a
unique and purified gift, needing to survive in the vast emptiness of space
and time, itself a gift of these dimensions. Human mind, gradually
permeating matter, is finding it difficult to maintain that perfect harmony
and equilibrium, which Dr Ali Shariati mentions above. A harmony achieved
and perfected in the personality of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh). The
Quran becomes externally and internally manifested in the life, teaching and
practices of this servant of God.
As the following passages illustrate.” Indeed, the Messenger of Allah used
to think deeply about the Quran, and he was on an exalted standard in this
regard. Ibn ‘Hibban narrated that Ataa’ said, “I and ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Umayr
once came to ‘Aaishah. ‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Umaayr said, ‘Tell us about the most
unusual thing that you have witnessed from the Messenger of Allah. ‘She
cried. Then, she said, ‘One night, he stood up—in prayer—and said, ‘ O
Aaishah, let me worship my Lord!’ She said, ‘I said, ‘By Allah! I like your
being close to me, but I also like what pleases you.” Then, she said, ‘Then he
stood up, washed up (for prayer, performed Ghusl) and then stood up in
prayer and kept crying until his ‘Hijr (the part of his clothes that covers his
lap) became wet, and kept crying until the floor became wet. Then, Bilal came
to him to inform him that it was time to start the prayer. When Bilal saw him
crying, he said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Do you cry, while Allah has forgiven
you your previous and latter sins?’ He said, ‘Should not I be a devotee most
grateful? Tonight, Ayat (verses from the Quran) were sent down to me,
woe unto he who reads them and does not think about them, “Verily in
the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of
night and day, there are indeed Signs for men of understanding. Those
who remember Allah (always in prayer) standing, sitting, and lying down on
their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the
earth. [3:190-191].’
[ As-Silsilah As-Sahihah]. This Hadith proves that thinking about these Ayat
is an obligation on Muslims.”
Here it is of a crucial importance and utmost necessity for each individual

man and women of understanding to comprehend that which is seldom
apprehended, by a single soul as a unity. The development and progress in
knowledge the above verses introduced were manifested in the history of
Islam by such terms as daqiq al-kalam and jalil al-kalam.
By fully advancing amid and practicing the techniques, methods and

injunctions of “Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed Signs for men of
understanding” we have arrived by reflecting in the Divine book of nature at
the Grand unification of the fundamental forces. The other immediate
verses,” Those who remember Allah (always in prayer) standing, sitting,
and lying down on their sides”, have produced men and women of the
esoteric. Those who attune themselves to the call of the soul beyond the
call of morality and ethics, though not neglecting the later, at that
transcendental union with the absolute, with experiences in the heart of the
‫ ْاْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬. It is time that we start using the Quranic expression in
describing both the Scientist and the Sufi as ‫ ْاْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬. The followers
of Ibn Taymiyya in their quest for purification have done a great service in
excelling at the root the law(Shariah), but failed to nurture the flower of
Divine essence the signs in the Anfus (self) and outer Āfāq(world). Most
Muslim’s unaware of the stations of the Qalb, due to this dichotomy have
generated an uncalled for antagonism. Though both the words Scientist and
Sufi in their earnestness (ikhlas) define the equilibrium, manifested in the
above ayah.
IS DIALOGUE POSSIBLE?
Dialogue among individuals, civil societies, communities, organizations,

academia and policymakers, higher religions, nations, and empires, is the most
critical and essential ingredient for the survival of human species, in any
short and long term ventures on earth and in space. Dialogues are a threat to
vested interests, who enjoin for status quo. The wrath of spontaneous
outpourings, and revolutions are undertaken under the conditions of
extremity in views, of a Pharaoh and a Moses (Pbuh), a Socrates and his
accusers, the defenders of Masada and the Roman legions ( “The defenders
of Masada simply had to be killed to reinforce an ancient imperialist
superpower's reputation of invincibility), a Jesus(Pbuh) and the High Priests,
a Mohammad (Pbuh) and the Jahiliyya, a Hussain and a Yazid, a Robespierre
and King Louis XVI., a George Washington and a colonial empire. The
international serf and the bourgeois, a Syed Qutb and a modern Pharaoh, an
Ali Shariati and ignorance, a Nelson Mandela, a Cesar Chaves, a Martin
Luther king, and the likes of them, to many to count. History perhaps never
changes, but is reborn under new guises, with a new Pharaoh and a new
Moses (Pbuh). “Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social
distinctions may be founded only upon the general good."[8] They have
certain natural rights to property, to liberty and to life. According to
this theory the role of government is to recognize and secure these
rights. Furthermore government should be carried on by elected
representatives.” Ibn Khaldun’s prolegomena viewing latent instabilities a
sign of every nation having its days with God
George Bush carried a paper written by Bernard Lewis in one of the

conferences leading to attacks on the Middle East and the orient in
September 2001, which stressed on inculcating fear and dread in the hearts
and minds, of Islam, with the arrogance and might of its war fighter.
Bernard Lewis is a prodigious, scholar and thinker, who for one, knows the
history, culture, and the ways of Muslim’s, perhaps equal to them if not
more. Are the origins in the clash of civilizations, commercial, the inherent
greed in men and empires? Or a clash of religions or both.
Clash occurs due to the west and their,
1. Judeo Christian values.

2. Freedom and liberty.
3. Neo Liberal economy and Capitalist system.
4. Rule of law (with in west).
Feeling threatened by the east, especially with Islam and the emerging
powers in China, Russia and Iran, which the west considers as the rise of a
new imperialism and radical Islam.
The years preceding 1492, were the last when the elect of the three
monotheistic faith, had a dialogue in the libraries of Toledo, Seville and
Cordoba,
since Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand accepted the surrender of the
Muslim monarch, Mohammed XII, when a million books by Muslim scholars
were destined to burn, when the edict of the expulsion of Jews went public
on 29 April 1492.
The historical document of the Edict of the expulsion of the Jews of
Spain(1492).
English translation of a portion of the Edict. “…. since the Christians have
engaged in and continue to engage in social interaction and communication
they have had means and ways they can to subvert and to steal faithful
Christians from our holy Catholic faith and to separate them from it, and to
draw them to themselves and subvert them to their own wicked belief and
conviction, instructing them in the ceremonies and observances of their law,
holding meetings at which they read and teach that which people must hold
and believe according to their law, achieving that the Christians and their
children be circumcised, and giving them books from which they may read
their prayers and declaring to them the fasts that they must keep, and
joining with them to read and teach them the history of their law, indicating
to them the festivals before they occur, advising them of what in them they
are to hold and observe, carrying to them and giving to them from their
houses unleavened bread and meats ritually slaughtered, instructing them
about the things from which they must refrain, as much in eating as in other
things in order to observe their law, and persuading them as much as they
can to hold and observe the law of Moses, convincing them that there is no
other law or truth except for that one. This proved by many statements and
confessions, both from these same Jews and from those who have been
perverted and enticed by them, which has redounded to the great injury,
detriment, and opprobrium of our holy Catholic faith.”
We have gathered again, this time in the land where she sent her admiral,
on 3rd of August 1492 precisely, not knowing in 400 to 500 years, all the
three faiths, would be building, their synagogues, their churches , their
mosques with the same vigor as then. God does monitor and records, how His
followers and those of His messengers, perform. Time is of no essence to
Him, and will continue to watch us, as we and our later generations, become
admirals of the universe. A space faring community, destined to carry on the
message of One God, unfurling his flag, across eternity. Our next
rendezvous could be on a distant planet, in a distant star, in forms and
shapes, different, but with the eternal message.
To God belongs all sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and all
they contain.
He has the power over all things.” (Verse 10:120).
Time is ripe to sit again, continuing our dialogue where we left. Perhaps we
would need the likes of Luis de Torres (a Christian convert from Judaism,
under coercion, who spoke Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic to mediate our
dialogue), whom Columbus had left behind, to set up a diplomatic mission.
Quran would be of immense, study in relations and the dialogue, that could
take form and place among the people of the book, the west predominantly,
and the Muslim Diaspora.
Mankind was but one nation,

But differed (later). Had it not
Been for a word
That went forth before
From thy Lord, their differences
Would have been settled
Between them.
Laws of requital and laws of diversity operating in the affairs of Gods

creation, unraveling in the movement and change of time , throughout the
cosmos, like a stream, a river of water, overcoming nooks and corners,
boulders and mountains, waiting for no one, in its destiny towards a definite
purpose, understood by a few
Seest thou not that

Of various colors.
Of various shades of colour,
.And so amongst men
And crawling creatures and
Cattle,
Are they of various colours.
Among His Servants,
Who have knowledge
For Allah is Exalted in Might,
Oft-Forgiving.
Here again those who scrutinize and reflect (taffakur) on the rain from the
sky, the meteorologists and climatologists . Those who delve in agriculture
the agronomists. Geologist and geo-physicists, who research, classifying
rocks and minerals by their colors. Anthropologists studying human societies,
communities, and races. Entomologists, zoologists, veterinarians
contemplating (tadabbur ) the behavior of insects, reptiles, mammals all
constitute God servant’s in the study of the Divine book of nature, are called
Al Alamoon, as those truly fear Him.
Necessitates a whole set of arguments of God challenging His creation of

there being not able to rightly estimate Him.
No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due to Him: On the Day
of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens
will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the
Partners they attribute to Him!.
An indication of his Might reflected in the prayers of Moses, on Mount Sinai.
During the appointment, the Lord spoke to Moses. He asked the Lord to
show Himself so that he could look at Him. The Lord replied, "You can never
see Me. But look at the mountain. If the mountain remains firm only then will
you see Me." When the Lord manifested His Glory to the mountain, He
turned it into dust and Moses fell down upon his face senseless. After
regaining his senses, Moses said, "Lord, You are all Holy. I repent for what I
asked you to do and I am the first to believe in You."
This is the first incidence of any soul, trying to have a direct vision of the
Ultimate. The nearest estimate as to His Gory and Might is the story of
Prophet Moses (Pbuh). Quran speaks of the trust, which the mountains could
not bear, Humans in their impatience took that challenge, and continue to do
till the end times, as Co-workers, Vice-regents.
The signs derived through Intellect and reason the exoteric is balanced in
its application, integrating it with the inner spiritual dimension, growth and
movement the esoteric. Quran is very clear and concise on the equal
importance of both. As both being derived from same root Haq (truth with a
purpose) as opposed to Batil (slander without a purpose). Sirat-e-Mustaqeem
has wide connotations one being reflecting and achieving salvation through
the study, practice and deep understanding of the following verses.
Quran.remarks:

And again,
Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the
alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men and women
of understanding.
Those who remember Allah (always in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying
down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens
and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without
purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You
as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.
The finitude of thought often misread as something inconclusive, is contrary

to the spirit of the above, mentioned verses. Also explained in depth as
follows.
.
No soul can believe, except

By the Will of Allah,
And He will place Doubt
(Or obscurity) on those
Who will not understand
The lane Arabic dictionary defines the Arabic word Rjis, with different
meanings one being doubt, “they are in a state of confusion and perturbation
in respect of their affair or case”. Or the illness of the heart, in what Syed
Abu Ala Maududi describes as the wrong premises of reasoning in their
quintessential search in to the meaning and nature of things.
And let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, honor [due to power] belongs to
Allah entirely. He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Here the speech (thought, knowledge, logic and, reason, of those who do not
understand) or the dialectics of those opposed to Quran, are being
challenged to face the knowledge and dialectics of God the all Hearing and
the all Knowing. It is in reference to these teachings and the correct
understanding, of the Quran that many commentators and scholars of Islam
have very clearly understood and enumerated the role of reason. I would like
to draw attention to a few of their writings. But in he same breath not
ignoring the arguments of the likes of Dr Bertrand Russell , Dr Francis
Crick, Dr Steven Weinberg, Christopher Hitchens, Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson,
Dr Stephen Hawking .The pragmatic way is for both sides to follow what the
later remarks.
“It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking
about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before
I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it
was 29 years”.
And again
“The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events
do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain
underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.”
The implications of belief for a scientist and a member of faith or tradition

are quite different, a scientist can review and easily admit his mistakes on
presentation of contrary evidence, but a person of faith, whose evidence is
based on a divine book or a very personal religious experience, cannot be so
convinced. This is the dilemma facing the one of not understanding the other
and subsequent clash of civilizations and even clash of religions and religious
sects. As I have written in this essay we can only minimize our differences
but not eradicate them. This is the inbuilt character of tradition as opposed
to science. If Quran presents us evidence as for those asking for a miracle,
in the study of animals and birds, organized into vastly complex communities,
its not indoctrination. God the Creator and Sustainer is the one Who’s book
the Quran provides evidences, of unparallel magnitude. Besides a way to ever
greater purification of the soul.
On this news on the 5th July 2012 “Physicist Steven Hawking admits he has
lost a bet that the Higgs boson particle would not be found. Hawking says
the bet was made with Gordon Kane of Michigan University. 'It seems I have
just lost $100', said Hawking with a big smile on his face, after Cern
scientists announced their findings on Wednesday.”
A man of faith on a journey in search of reality, how ever long it takes once
having been convinced is not following science but a Divine book the Quran.
Science is only a subset, we confuse the Ultimate Reality God with science
and reason. If it took us so much efforts in finding the God particle
(metaphorical sense) that too indirectly, to find God Himself called Laqai-
Rabb the ultimate meeting in the Quran would render us to search and
exhaust the whole cosmos. As some scholars like Inayat-ullah Khan Mashriqi
contend in their translations.
The Ultimate Reality God cannot be seen with our eyes, but by the following.
1. Reflecting on the signs in the heavens and earth in a direction from
the known to the unknown.
And how many Signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by? Yet they
turn (their faces) away from them!
2
An inner experience through specialized conduct alluded in the
Quran.
Following the teachings of His last Prophet Mohammad(Pbuh).
3 Finally by Divine Grace and Attaining what we call Irfan, or Marifa

(Gnosis).
(Marufatun) is described in Arabic-English lexicon by Edward William

Lane as: Signifying Knowledge, cognition, cognizance, or acquaintance.
(Aref) : It also signifies particularly [Skilled in divine things]

possessing knowledge of God, and of His kingdom, and of the way of dealing
well with Him.
Referring to the Jews at the time of the advent of Quran, Allah Almighty
mentions them as the people of the Book, who would not understand even
when they recognized it as the truth. Here it may be mentioned some of
their leading authorities converted.
And when there comes to them a Book from Allah, confirming what is with
them,- although from of old they had prayed for victory against those
without Faith,- when there comes to them that which they (should) have
recognised, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of Allah is on those
without Faith.
Let us find the may or may not however long it takes. On a personal note it
took me 40 years to find the may from the may not. The greatest obstacles
being reason, logic and science (free inquiry).Though well versed in the
Quran about its exhortations and dictums in nature. Only the power of Love
broke all the chains and inhibitions. However long one contemplates all the
mysteries in the cosmos, there is no greater mystery then unveiling, the
self-understanding of Quran on the heart of a Muslim, a Sufi, a Momin, a
Muttaqi, an Alim, an Aulia Allah, or Ulul Albab.
A Sufi saint mentions in his book Irfan on the preciousness of each moment
left in our lives.
‘In short, the value and price of this valuable life and its golden breaths will
be apprehended after death, when it is lost and the foolish careless man ,
will cry aloud:--“ Alas for what I wasted in getting near to the God and verily
I am one of the great losers.” Therefore , O dear ones ! think highly of the
few breaths and moment left to you in this world. Even if one of these is
spent in remembrance of God, it is preferable to the kingdom of the whole
world.
As Khaquani, a truthful poet, has said :--
“After thirty years of meditation Khaquani learnt the point that a moment
with God is far better than the kingdom of Solomon the Prophet.”
Or as Christopher Hitchens offers.
“Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely
solely upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than
sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or
outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free
inquiry, open mindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake. We do
not hold our convictions dogmatically: the disagreement between Professor
Stephen Jay Gould and Professor Richard Dawkins, concerning "punctuated
evolution" and the unfilled gaps in post-Darwinian theory, is quite wide as
well as quite deep, but we shall resolve it by evidence and reasoning and not
by mutual excommunication.”
Quran remarks;
There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right
course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut
and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no
break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
The Lane Arabic dictionary describes “Taghut, means the idol called Ilat or
that called
Aluzi, or whatever is worshipped instead, or to the exclusion of God--------
and any head or leader of error and the exorbitant in pride or corruptness,
or disbelief or disobedience, of the people of the Scripture.”
What Christopher misses is in the superficial research, with which he

approaches the whole of science, reason, metaphysics, and the prophetic
revelation. An issue that takes years like any major problem, in physics,
mathematics, chemistry etc to solve depending on a certain kind of receptive
heart and mind. As to his assertion that the advent of the telescope and the
microscope, did a great service in eliminating the dogma, shows the depth of
his inquiry. Writing an article or speaking with convincing arguments, logic,
and philology in the domains of knowledge beyond senses, requires an inner
experience, the unveiling of the Quran, reaching Haqiqat the Ultimate
Reality by Tahqiq the realization in the heart, beyond the pale of physics and
mathematics for those investigating God intellectually. As for the heart of a
plebian, a ship breaker in Gadani on the shores of the Indian Ocean, or a
Guyanese’s working in the Rice fields of Berbice, a construction worker on
the high rise buildings of Dubai in sweltering heat and offering namaz,
giving charity whether monetarily or by their righteous deeds, reading
the Quran in the early morning hours constitute people of paradise.
Quran gives guidance to each and every person of every

denomination/skill/profession with the wisdom in its leaves spread across its
length and breadth whether he or she is finding it in reference to military
science, laws of business, human sociology, psychology, science,
Quran uses its own arguments, with an unimaginable depth, some scholars in
Islam; prohibit reading the earlier texts and their histories. What I believe
is just the opposite, as this book the Quran stresses us to visit far corners
of the earth to find out the truth, whether in anthropology, biology or
history leading to the continuity and understanding of these messages with
increasing conviction. A visit from Jones town, Pa to the Niagara Falls, Ny,
shows the proliferation of nuclear reactors and message of God, the
churches, scattered in the heart of every town and village in the beautiful
valley’s and the green pastures. Science and religion existing together and
the best possible method described itself to resolve an argument.
Fundamentalism, extremism often used in context to revolutions, is a
relative term; my hero can be your enemy. Though hero worship leads to
cults, and the hero starts believing in the concept and in the following
dictum, “If you can do anything you will do it” or ”Power corrupts, absolute
power corrupts absolutely” the sunnat of Allah(swt), is to create diversity at
the expanse of divisions.
Quran argues with statements, not attuned to a western mind like
Christopher Hitchens, or Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson for if they want a testable
prediction.
“But I remain skeptical of the value of revelations gleaned from religious

texts as sources of insight to the natural world -- until the day when a
person makes a testable prediction that comes true about unknown (or
unsuspected) objects or phenomena based on revelation. This has never
happened in the history of this effort, yet such predictions represent a
fundamental dimension of science as an enterprise.”
“A scriptural passage is of no use to the scientist unless it makes a testable

prediction of unknown phenomena. Until that happens, religion will offer no
meaningful insight into the operations of the natural world.” Dr Neil
deGrasse Tyson.
Then the Quran remarks.
Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined
together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We
made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
The Cobe satellite mission, and evolutionary biology, is spread with

statements to this effect.
Lord of the Worlds, in His wisdom creates and repeats creation, evolutionary
biology, supplemented in the “Order and Chaos; The Prigoginian view” giving
new insights to the active creative activity of God and the creativity of His
co-worker and Vice-regent.
That is because Allah He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists,
Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists)
invoke besides Him, it is Batil (falsehood) And verily, Allah He is the Most
High, the Most Great.
If scholars of Quran, use evolution, as a function of natural selection then
their followers have to expand it into other fields of inquiry. Creative co-
worker(Naib) has to remember what is explained in the following.
“The ultimate source of existence is the Void, the supracosmic

Silence, the uncreated and absolutely ineffable Supreme.
The first possible formulation of this source is Universal Mind. Here,

too, words fail, for Universal Mind transcends the dichotomies, polarities, and
paradoxes that harass the relative world and our finite minds comprehension
of it. Insofar as description is attempted, the Vedantic ternary—Infinite
Existence, Infinite Intelligence, Infinite Bliss — is as serviceable as any.
God is not limited to his forgoing, “abstract” modes. He can be

encountered concretely, as the God of the Old and New Testaments, Buddha,
Shiva, or in other modes. These modes do not, however, wear the mantle of
ultimacy or provide final answers.
The phenomenal worlds owe their existence to Universal Mind, which

Mind does not itself become implicated in their categories. Man, together with
the three-dimensional world he experiences, is but one of innumerable modes
through which Mind experiences itself. The heavy physicality and seemingly
objective finality of man’s material world, its space-time grid and the laws of
nature that offer themselves as if they were the sina qua nons of existence
itself—all these are in fact highly provisional and relative. Under exceptional
circumstances, people can rise to a level of consciousness at which they see
that taken together they constitute but one of innumerable sets of limiting
constructs that Universal Mind assumes. To saddle that Mind itself with those
constructs would be as ridiculous as trying to understand the human mind
through the rules of chess.
Created entities tend progressively to lose contact with their original

source and the awareness of their pristine identity with it. In the initial stage
of this falling away, those entities maintain contact with their source, and the
separation is playful, relative, and obviously tentative. An image that
illustrates this stage is that of a wave of the ocean. From a certain point of
view the wave is a distinct entity—we can speak of it as large, fast-moving,
green, and foamy. But its individuation doesn't keep it from belonging to the
ocean proper.
At the next stage, created entities assume a partial independence and

we can observe the beginnings of cosmic screen work, the Absolute’s
assumption of veils that are gossamer-like in the beginning but grow
increasingly opaque. Here unity with the source can be temporarily forgotten
in the way an actor can forget his own identity as he identifies with the
character he depicts.
Eventually the veiling process reaches a point where individuation looks

like the normal state of things and the original wholeness is perceived only
intuitively and sporadically. This can be likened to the relationship between
cells of a body and the body as a while. Cells are separate entities but function
as their body’s parts. Individuation and participation are dialectically
combined. Complex biochemical interactions bridge provisional boundaries to
ensure the functioning of the organism as a whole.
In the final stage, the separation is practically complete. Liaison with

the source is lost sight of and the original identity forgotten. The screen is
now all but impermeable, and a radical change of consciousness is required to
break through it. A snowflake can serve as a symbol. In outward appearance
it doesn’t look like water; to understand that nevertheless it is water we have
to get down to H2O.
Human beings who manage to effect the requisite break through find
thereafter that life’s polarities paradoxically do and do not exist. This holds
for such contraries as matter and spirit, good and evil, permanence and
change, heaven and hell, beauty and ugliness, and agony and ecstasy. In the
end, there is no difference between subject and object, observer and
observed experiencer and experienced, creator and creation..” By Huston
Smith in ‘Cleansing the Doors of Perception’.
It is only in managing this requisite break through, that the experience of

the unitary or mystical is attended to.
Or Dr Chittick.
“True meaning can never be grasped by dogma, doctrines, theories, or any

other mental construct. It can be only found by going beyond the operations
of the mind, actualizing the unitary awareness of primordial intelligence that
lies beneath the mind and behind the world, and integrating the human self
back into its transcendent origin.”
Summing up is what Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad remarks.
“Could it be that the very existence of prophecy, which the scripture

proclaims as necessary to man’s salvation, indicates that human reason,
unaided, cannot reach truth? Is this the crux of the argument not only
between Plato and Aristotle, but between Athens and Jerusalem.”
Quran professes the merger of thought and action, the study of nature
(free inquiry, open mindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake)
coupled with practices of Law (Shariah) in the vertical dimension
synthesized by intuition in the horizontal dimension. Both the horizontal and
the vertical dimensions, opening up seen and unseen blessing in the regulating
powers of law (Sharia), Ilm (knowledge) and purification of the Ruh. A three
dimensional effort, unlocking the secrets of the fourth and more dimensions,
where time and space freezes as the tears of this servant of God, who is a
fighter on the battlefield against the infidels, a father par excellence, a
husband devoted to his family, a son devoted to his parents. What we read,
we try to understand, what we try to understand, we try practice; it’s of
utmost importance to realize, that one form of imperialism should not be
replaced with another. If we profess our religion to be the religion of peace,
we should strive for peace and not war for war sake. Having a rare access in
the deepest recesses of human mind, due to social interactions, the internet,
and media, the modern world has come very close, for each one of us to see
and hear, what the other is thinking and planning. In the psychoanalysis of
Hitler, we read.
“From a scientific point of view, therefore, we are forced to consider Hitler,

the Fuehrer, not as a personal devil, wicked as his actions and philosophy may
be, but as the expression of a state of mind existing in millions of people,
not only in Germany but, to a smaller degree, in all civilized countries.
To remove Hitler may be a necessary first step, but it would not be the cure.
It would be analogous to curing an ulcer without treating the underlying
disease. If similar eruptions are to be prevented in the future, we cannot
content ourselves with simply removing the overt manifestations of the
disease. On the contrary, we must ferret out and seek to correct the
underlying factors which produced the unwelcome phenomenon. We must
discover the psychological streams which nourish this destructive state of
mind in order that we may divert them into channels which will permit a
further evolution of our form of civilization.”
How can we have a dialogue when our state of minds differ?. When we read
different books. Religions have diversified sects, each interpreting the
Divine books differently. Inayat ullah khan in the dialogue and conversation
that he had with Hitler only could introduce the message of the Quran, in
Tazkirah, which the later read with interest, but who in turn saw
Nietzschean superman as the embodiment of all life.
The late 18th century and the early 19th out of the necessity of the changing
dynamics in the Lands of Islam, produced men of understanding, with a few
women, including the, oriental’s the likes of which the previous generations
of Muslims had not seen. Including Jamal ud din Afgani, Syed Ahmed khan,
Maulana Mohamrnad Ilyas Khandalvi , Syed Sulaiman Nadvi, Mohammad
Iqbal, Inayat ullah Mashriqi ,Syed Abu Ala Maududi, Syed Qutb etc.
No doubt! Verily, to Allah belongs whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever
is in the earth. And those who worship and invoke others besides Allah, in
fact they follow not the (Allah's so-called) partners, they follow only a
conjecture and they only invent lies.
In the domain of modern thought and philosophy with only sense

perception and intellect as a guide, liberty of thought unattended by divine
books of revelations, is seeking to formulate its own logic and laws providing
principles of ethics and morality speculating as far as understanding can go.
In the domain of religions, things are different with God as the only priority;
the first law is as stated.
“No soul can believe, except
By the Will of Allah”.
Fractals expansion and growth.
The activity of a Muslim to travel the path of an Ulul
Albab is not easy without a Director of Tazkia, this
Director first becomes an Ulul Albab himself and then
guides others. God Consciousness starts with
consciousness and reflection of the self and vica versa,
as Dr Azhar Waheed notes. And again very subtly
observed by Professor Ahmed Rafiq that as with all other
educational endeavors, the search for the Almighty can
result in the help taken from various teachers. As stated
by Ali Hajver taking directions from around 65 men of
learning.
This hold for any tradition, past, present and in the

future. For as Quran remarks about the people of the
book as their books to be confirmed by it.
That which We have revealed to thee of the Book is the
Truth,- confirming what was (revealed) before it: for
Allah is assuredly- with respect to His Servants - well
acquainted and Fully Observant.
And here too Allah(swt) by His grace and mercy grants

understanding.
And dispute ye not

With the People of the Book,
Except with means better
(Than mere disputation), unless
It is be with those of them
Who inflict wrong (and injury);
But say. “We believe
In the revelation which has
Come down to us and in that
Which came down to you;
Our God and your God
Is One; and it is to Him
We bow (in Islam).
The third attempt to invade, as Bernard calls these

Muslims migrations to the west. In the 7th century the
Muslims rose from the deserts of Arabia, and in a
relative short span, of time stretched their empire, from
the Pyrenees to the Himalaya. “The Ornament of the
World” describes that Golden age in Al Andalusia.
“Most important, however is that Muslims, Christians,

and Jews did not have separate cultures based on
religious differences but were rather part of a broad and
expansive culture that had incorporated elements of all
their traditions, a culture that all could and did
participate in regardless of their religion. Writing poetry
in Arabic was what educated people did, not just Muslims,
and when the Jews of Toledo built a synagogue with
horseshoe arches they were adopting the signature style
of a culture rather than of a religion---indeed those same
horseshoe arches, which are the unmistakable of the
Great Mosque of Cardoba, were themselves adopted by
the early Muslim rulers of Cardoba from the old
Visigothic Christian churches..It was, in other words, a
culture that rejected religious or political correctness as
the basis for any sort of aesthetic or intellectual value.”
Any dialogue between power and intellect will suffer the
same fate as that between Voltaire and Frederick the
Great. But men and women of understanding do we have
an obligation, where the above two, personalities failed
at, a dialogue?. Is dialogue possible between the strong
and the weak? What subsequent history has showed,
there is always an inbuilt cultural, political, imperialistic,
historical, nationalistic, ethnic and racial divide, a pride,
and an argument for war in all religions, all national
ideologies, that this divide will persist is unfortunate, we
can only reduce its intensity but never overcome the
realities for we all have hidden and manifested agenda’s ,
whether it is the Protocol of the elders of Zion,
Bhagavad Gita , Bible or Quran, each of us having our
own radicals, each one of us deeply and passionately tied
to our beliefs. To the Irish question or Kashmir and
Palestinian, issue. As a teacher in USA, I could see a
Jewish child age 16, or a Palestinian, a Muslim or Hindu
child of the same age, having innocence and a friendly
understanding in their eyes, only to be brainwashed later
in life.
Islamic people with a population of over 1.6 billion

stepping out of their long stupor are preparing to become
a responsible and major stake holder, in world affairs.
Learning from the west and watching its neighbor in India
and China, rise in economic might and political power, are
shaping themselves into this ideal and compelling example
albeit quietly. United Arabic Emirates, where
investments in infrastructure, education, science and
technology, trade and industry, merits mention. With the
end of foreign occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s
imperative that the outpouring of its energies become a
source of pride and example par excellence, for Muslims
and the rest of the world. Here the lead has to be taken
by Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan, of course not in the
least by Iraq and Afghanistan themselves.(Humans born
free do not like hegemony and control). One should say
easy said then done, a dilemma stretching out into
centuries past. Instead of fermenting sectarian tensions,
and carving out spheres of influences at the cost of the
poor and huddled most earning a dollar a day, are less
interested in ideologues than making a living and surviving
each day. Having heard enough lectures from the west on
democracy and freedom, want their genuine socio-
economic problems solved. Unfortunately everyone seems
to be hiding behind the sheep in the guise of a self
righteous wolf, embedded within their own vested self
interests. Whether he be a King, an authoritarian self
serving democrat,(corrupt to the core, cruel and
ruthless), or a hypocrite masquerading as a theologian.
The case being the Madrassa, an institution centuries old

providing a major source of funding for the needs of the
under fed and under privileged. A stupendous effort is
needed to bring this majority into the main stream of
knowledge and scholarship, economic activity, business
and commerce at the same instant keeping and growing
their faith. Taking advantage of these loved one’s of God,
many have ended up with devouring wealth. Although a lot
others have done an earnest act, inviting and earning the
pleasure of the Almighty. A strong middle class is the
back bone of a society and a nation, a middle way as
induced by traditions of Quran and Sunnah. Illusions and
delusions of grandeur aside, pride, leadership, arrogance
of some, has to give way and replaced by realism of the
majority. The recent events in the Middle East, with
their Arab spring, are a major test in point. Having
opened the flood gates to change and revolutions is now
tending to chaos and anarchy, caught unprepared. Though
chaos and anarchy for some, a Divine plan for others.
Almost comical seems to be the devotion and zeal of the

followers of those who profess modernity in the context
of the current western paradigm of hedonistic
absorptions, predatory capitalism, unchecked ambitions,
former Disney executive Michael Eisner well said, that
after making millions of dollars one day you have a heart
attack and you die, to those who seem to be tracing
their Islamic roots, unwilling to ponder, on their book,
which exhorts otherwise, stigmatized with their own
opinions, developing into cults, major under currents
ripping each other apart, neither side prepared to listen
or to have a dialogue, each a recipient of the absolute
truth. Christopher Hitchens must be feeling vindicated.
The situation of post withdrawal from the war in

Afghanistan of the sons of Isaac (Pbuh) is not clear
either. These progeny of Abraham (Pbuh), having had
their bloody day, are leaving. While the sons of Ishmael
(Pbuh) wait in silence studying there options. Their eyes
set on the steppe of Central Asian, plains with the secret
yearning and intentions of establishing a second Medina.
We me say the great game of Kipling will never end,

spilling more sweat and blood, for the opposite side is not
sitting idle they too are preparing for the inevitable
showdown. Who would be the next victim of the grave-
yard of Super powers called Afghanistan?.
What more proof is required as to the statement in the

opening narrative? “.Do scriptures or holy books qualify
as messages not extracted from the human mind, but
a product of an unknown source outside the universe.
From extra space dimensions or parallel universes, or
“supra space”. Lets us take up this challenge and
reflect on there relevance and, their unrelenting
control on a large portion of mankind”. The two
brothers arguing thousands of years ago, to have their
progenies their children at each other throat in the
cities, plains and mountains of New York, D.C, London,
Iraq ,Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The locations of permanent lights on the Earth's surface

are seen in this October 23, 2000 handout image from
NASA. This image of Earth's city lights was created with
data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program
(DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) which was
originally designed to view clouds by moonlight. The
brightest areas of the Earth are the most urbanized, but
not necessarily the most populated.
All humans resemble each other, with the same
aspirations, given to immense love for their children and
family, yearning for their security, decency in character,
longing for first class education, food , health and a
clean environment, in the process some acquire unbridled
strength, becoming stronger then others, in the absence
of Divine guidance, tend to fabric unjust wars.
For some all conquests, revolutions end in advanced

civilizations, as the rise and fall of nations in world
history has taught us. Barring a few most speak in the
inevitability of the clash of civilizations as a Law in
nature.
Having a personal experience of living in the west for

nearly 20 years, one can observe and speak of
stupendous, warm-heartedness and generosity reflected
in the average middle and lower middle classes; it’s only in
the presence of the ultra rich, the Illuminati and the
Bilderberg’s dubbed in the “Confessions of an Economic
Hit Man” by John Perkins and “The Grand Deception:
Corporate America and Perpetual War” by Dr Mujahid
Kamran, that one finds the global malaise.
The seeker of truth overcomes the valley of doubt,
attains to the unveiling of Quran and its essence and
mysteries by the Grace of God, an inner experience very
personal in nature, , culminating, in the removal of these
doubts , for reason alone is insufficient, to grasp the
ultimate reality. Reason engages its beholder, in a cyclical
movement, precisely a sine wave. Alternating between
faith and doubt, a seeker of truth, is exhausted. Again
beautifully explained by the Muslim mystic Mohammad
Iqbal.
‘Nor is there any reason to suppose that thought and

intuition are essentially opposed to each other. They
spring up from the same root and complement each other.
The one grasps Reality piecemeal, the other grasps it in
its wholeness. The one fixes its gaze on the eternal, the
other on the temporal aspect of Reality. The one is
present enjoyment of the whole of Reality; the other
aims at traversing the whole by slowly specifying and
closing up the various regions of the whole for exclusive
observation. Both are in need of each other for mutual
rejuvenation. Both seek visions of the same Reality which
reveals itself to them in accordance with their function
in life. In fact, intuition, as Bergson rightly says, is only a
higher kind of intellect.’
The Quran itself fosters and inculcates the habit of

enquiry, in the sphere of thought and scientific
discovery.
The Quran says ayah 17-36
skypecall_2013-11-02-15-13.mp4
And pursue not that

No knowledge; for

angels, the knowledge of ‘Nafs’ Arabic for soul, Ruh and
what He hides from His creation. Recent progress in the
techniques of ultra-sound is extending our knowledge
which once seemed to be in the realm of unseen a few
decades ago. [Be Iznillah by the Will of Allah(swt)].
Allah doth know what every female (womb) doth bear, by

how much the wombs fall short (of their time or number)
or do exceed. Every single thing is before His sight, in
(due) proportion.
Here Allah Subhana-Hu does not say that any one else
cannot have this knowledge.
“Most objects on Earth (including the human body)
contain measureable contaminating amounts of all of the
88 chemical elements which are detectable in nearly any
soil on Earth”. A sign of holistic nature of the universe.
Non locality, quantum entanglement, as increasing

amplitude of the sine wave, and then back to the

boundary, of the observable universe, in the direction of
the great attractor, example of decreasing amplitude of
the sine wave, a platonic view of the universe with no end
( A metaphorical analogy, of seeking the ultimate reality,
on the basis of limitations of science). The resolution of
the dichotomy mentioned in introduction to this essay,
remains elusive, until we submit to a paradigm shift of
watching the progress, of ‫ ْاْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬the men and women
of understanding as they reflect in the divine book of

calls as his servants, who attain to this status after
reflecting on the divine book of nature.

As Dr Chittick mentions in “Science of Cosmos” as

Consciousness is not limited, so is the Universal
Consciousness,
“Consciousness is not essentially limited; it itself is the

subject that perceive limits, boundaries and definitions.
Strictly human modalities of being pertain to pure
consciousness and pure awareness, the true human
selfhood cannot be defined, yet it gives rise to every
distinction and differentiation. Those human beings who
fully realize their own selfhood—their innate, unlimited
intelligence and consciousness –thereby gain freedom
from every constraint.”
And again
"In other words, human beings can aim for “freedom”
from their environmental limitations – not just physical
limitations, but also social, political, and psychological
limitations. Much more profoundly,they can strive for
freedom from all limitations and all constraints To do so
they need to extirpate what the Buddhists call “the
three poisons” – anger, greed, and ignorance."
“As long as human beings take finite things, or a defined

and known God, as the object of their quest, they can
never know the true and final meaning of the universe
and themselves.” Dr William Chittick.
On this portion, Quran elaborates, the words of Allah

(swt) with an insight, truly of the proportions of a
Supreme Being, manifested by His beautiful names
,
He is Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah, the
Knower of the Invisible and the Visible. He is the
Beneficent, Merciful.
He is Allah than Whom there is La ilaha illa Huwa (none

has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the
Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of
security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-
Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah!
(High is He) above all that they associate as partners
with Him.
He is God, the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper. To Him

belong the Names Most Beautiful. All that is in the
heavens and the earth magnifies Him; He is the All-
mighty, the All-wise.
This we see realized in the life and teachings of Prophets

of revelation in their attaining these sublime heights and
becoming archetype and role model of the Perennial
philosopher as well as the contemporary men and women
of understanding the “Ulul Albab”.
He it is Who has sent down
To thee the Book;
In it are verses
Basic or fundamental
(Of established meaning);
They are the foundation
Of the book: others
Are not of well –established meaning. But those
In whose hearts is perversity
follow
The part thereof that is not of
Well-established meaning.
Seeking discord, and searching
For its hidden meanings,
But no one knows
Its true meaning except Allah.
And those who are firmly
Grounded
In knowledge say: “We believe
In the Book; the whole of it
Is from our Lord; and none
Will grasp the message
Except men of understanding.
There are two types of verses in the Quran, one called

Muhakemat, having a very clear and concise, meanings ,
and the other being Mutashabihat,, none other can grasp,
their meanings except God, and men and women of
understanding.
1. Mutashabihat are verses in the Quran, which
unravel as knowledge progresses in time.
Contemplated, when the conditions are ripe, for their
understanding, whether they belong to the knowledge
of the ‘Nafs’ (Arabic for soul), inner experience or
outer horizon annotated by sense perception. A).In
the later, sense perception has either not reached,
the maturity, or caught up yet, with the scientific
analysis, required to clear there meanings, if these
verses pertain to having scientific connation’s, usually
accompanied by such words… , but very few
understand, or if they only knew, and none will
grasp the message except men and women of
knowledge. 2. Allah (swt) does not discourage those,
having advanced spiritual training, specialization of
physical and social sciences called ‫ ْاْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬in
Arabic, to discover their meanings. If a scientific
discovery seems to be totally opposite, to what the
Quran say’s, then a promethean mind, is too myopic
to judge the will and plan of the Creator in the outer
domains and of the self, manifested in the vast
canvas of the cosmos, embedded in the fabric of
space and time, God’s creative activity at every
moment of His pure duration in Mohammad Iqbal’s
words, unveiling piecemeal, at levels of forces, which
functions, through the processes of evolution,
creative diversity, order emanating out of chaos(
Allah’s inspiration). Whole worlds destroyed at the
blinking of an eye. Stars hundred of times massive as
the sun, exploding in a supernovae within, 30 seconds
to produce elements heavier than iron, spreading,
across a vast ocean of gas, like rose petals, creating
a new far superior permutations and combinations,
developing star systems with trillions of earths and
civilizations like ours.
Reciting Subhan'Allāh (Arabic ‫" )سسسس سسسسس‬Glory

be to Allah". Estagfirullah (Arabic: ‫)إستغفار‬, "I seek
forgiveness from Allah”. Alhamdulillah or (‫" )هلل الحمد‬Praise
to God”. A Momin, is honored by God, with interpreting
His signs, in the realm of the Muhakemat and
Mutashabihat. Overcoming the dichotomy of inner self
and the outer realm. He has achieved the status of,
the divine observer participating with God, who
graduated from the status of the beasts. Quran
proclaims.
For the worst of the beasts
Are those who reject Him:
They will not believe.
to the status of vice-regent, an eternal personality

and ego, here and in the hereafter. Prophet Abraham
(Pbuh), was one of the first to show this path and
achieve, this transition. Abraham realized his telos
with a conscience act of existential choices, embedded
in a culture of idol worship he moved from a state of
denial to annihilation (fanâ') in God. When he began in his
research, on the mysteries of the universe, with its dark
nights, multitude of stars, the moon with its splendor,
the morning sun with its blinding light. A journey however
long it took, to reach the ultimate reality. If reason
guided him to take the appearance of a star as an object
worthy of worship, above the then prevailing inveterate
worship of idols.
When the night

Covered him over,
He saw a star:
He said “This is my Lord.”
But when it set,
He said; “ I love not
Those that set.
Doubt appeared in his heart and mind as to the nature of

the object, limited by its diminishing powers. A foremost
‫ ْاْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬among the Chaldean people, who were
committed to the study of natural phenomena. Laws of
the universe taught to him by none other than the
Creator Himself. As the Quran mentions.
So also did We show

Abraham the power
And the laws of the heavens
And the earth, that he
Might (with understanding)
Have certitude.
Resolving the intuitions of the inner self and data
acquired through sense perception, questioning his father
Azar, about his established religion, breaking the a priori
veneration which his clan had for idols.
Lo Abraham said
To his father Azar:
“Takest thou idols for gods?
For I see thee
And thy people
In manifest error.”
Most minds are imprinted by their parents, close friends,

society, political affiliations, rarely an act of conscious
choice. Those who do use the prerogative of reason tend
toward in two directions, either a complete denial of the
ultimate reality, or mired in the study of nature, with
fluctuating periodic movements from disbelief to belief
and returning to disbelief no sooner as the cyclical
discoveries of science and logic pervades their mind,
devoid of absolute faith in God, as omnipresent,
omniscient. Abraham (May Allah’s blessing and peace be
upon him) using his intellect as a starting point became a
friend of God, when he had exhausted all the possibilities
intellect could offer. For intellect is a limiting factor,
ultimately it’s the sincerest intentions, a soul shattering
event in the life and the heart of the seeker, that God
ultimately unveils His grace and mercy, His secrets upon
his friends. Abraham (Pbuh) was the first of the
monotheistic faith, to overcome the chain of reasoning,
lack of sufficient evidences, doubts to proclaim what the
following verse of the Quran exhort its reader.

are signs for those who are who are God conscious.
Followers of religions, corrupted the original message

and tended toward superstitions, cult and occultism,
reader criticism is most valuable and enduring on any
treatise, which reflect, a partial understanding in the
domains of knowledge and metaphysics. A metamorphism
is achieved when a Muslim learns to recognize signs both
within his heart and in the outer domains of the universe.
Praying for everlasting understanding and obedience to
the Lord of the Worlds.
“Our Lord!” (they say),

“Let not our hearts deviate
Now after Thou hast guided us,
But grant us mercy
From Thine own Presence;
For Thou are the Grantor
Of bounties without measure.
The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein,
declare His glory: there is not a thing but celebrates His
praise; And yet ye understand not how they declare His
glory! Verily He is Oft-Forbear, Most Forgiving!
Quran schematizes its structure and style with the
following verse.
A. L. R. (This is) a Book, with verses basic or fundamental

(of established meaning), further explained in detail,-
from One Who is Wise and Well-acquainted (with all
things).
It synthesizes its concepts like the rose buds blooming

into flowers with multitude of colors and fragrances,
enamoring the heart of a true seeker with infinite joy in
the garden of peace, happiness and tranquility. Bringing
moments of ecstasy and tears. Specially of those
engaged in the Dhikr of the Lord of Heavens and the
Earth. Those engaged in charity, those smiling with the
poor, the Prophet of Islam lived as the poorest of the
poor, accepting as brothers and sisters, of all faith.
And while asserting unique deliverance to the mystical
and ratiocinative epistemologies as noted by Sufi and
Saint Abdal Hakim Murad.
Quran says
And this Quran is not such as could ever be produced by

other than Allah (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but
it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was before
it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.],
and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. laws and orders,
etc, decreed for mankind) - wherein there is no doubt
from the the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns,and all
that exists).

when the Vicegerent (naib) has by Allah(swt) Will

Nature and exhausted all seen and unseen blessings

series of useless encounters with the earth or a planned

that strike might have had on our lives and the planet.

than following Quran, and Sunnah the life of the Prophet

CONSCIOUSNESS as defined by Hazrat Ali
R.A
A Poem by Imam Ali (AS)
Your sickness is within you, though you do not realize
And your cure is within, yet you do not see
You claim that you are nothing but a tiny entity
Yet wrapped up inside of you is the greatest universe
You are the clear book, through whose letters
All that is secret is revealed and made known.
So you have no need for anything outside of you
Your consciousness is within you, though you do not know

A true perspective cannot be realized if we are lost in
thinking ourselves as a tiny entity, which we seem to be,
when comparing with the cosmos, where the diameter of
the sun is roughly a million miles. Where light travels
across the Milky Way in a hundred thousand years. Takes
six million years for light to cross the largest galaxy in
the universe.
No just estimate have they made of Allah, such as is due
to Him: On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth
will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up
in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the
Partners they attribute to Him!

Qur'an does not shy away with facts, in fact explaining
the minutest details, but in a series of long fractal
movements, just like constructing an arm and hand with
veins, or clouds with silver linings, trees with endless
bifurcations. Since the style both in nature and its form
on paper are from the same Author.
Fractals often called the thumb print of God in an
allegorical sense, become part of an implicate
order at some mysterious level, though when finger
printed and analyzed in a laboratory, an engineer or
a scientist although being very precise and
accurate is unable to connect the whole, deceived
and deluded by the power of controlled

experiment, assuming science and the scientific
method as the only way of approaching reality
It challenges men and women to go out and find how the
first creation started, not hiding behind ignorance.
Say: "Travel through the earth and see how Allah did
originate creation; so will Allah produce a later creation:

What did Alfred Russell Wallace and Charles Darwin do?
Creation here means creation of life, culminating in

humans, since the later also refers to humans after
death and the day of resurrection..Evolution is the

for humans, seen in their totality.

I first endeavour to show (in Chapter XIV.) by a care-

ful consideration of the structure of the bird's feather ;
of
the marvellous transformations of the higher insects ;
and,
more especially of the highly elaborated wing-scales of
the
Lepidoptera (as easily accessible examples of what is
going
on in every part of the structure of every living thing),
the
absolute necessity for an organising and directive Life-
Principle in order to account for the very possibility of
these
complex outgrowths. I argue, that they necessarily imply
first, a Creative Power, which so constituted matter as to
render these marvels possible ; next, a directive Mind
PREFACE vii
which is demanded at every step of what we term growth,

and often look upon as so simple and natural a process
as to require no explanation ; and, lastly, an ultimate
Purpose, in the very existence of the whole vast life-
world
in all its long course of evolution throughout the eons
of
geological time. This Purpose, which alone throws light
on
many of the mysteries of its mode of evolution, I hold
to be
the development of Man, the one crowning product of
the
whole cosmic process of life-development ; the only
being
which can to some extent comprehend nature ; which can
perceive and trace out her modes of action ; which can
appreciate the hidden forces and motions everywhere at
work, and can deduce from them a supreme and over-
ruling Mind as their necessary cause.
My main research is finding ayaat where the creation
has already stated competing with the Creator. Less than
50 at the most, I do not exactly know now . One of the
ayaat telling us that the creation will interfere with the
Cosmos.
How a single individual devoid of any resources, living in
the deserts of Arabia could have, made such statements?
This role of being a conscious helper of God and His

messengers is what constitutes, a humans understanding
of the world outside (Afaq) and the inner dimension
(Anfus) as a verse of Quran states. Integrating the two
seems the biggest challenge in the world of Globalization.
Eloquently described by Professor Wasif Ali Wasif,
Now this Sahib e Haal, Sahib e Nazar, Sahib e Fikar,

Sahib e Zikar is the fully developed conscious, as alluded
to by Hazrat Ali R.A , pointing to a purpose and the
meaning of creation. .
‘Yet wrapped up inside of you is the greatest universe
You are the clear book, through whose letters
All that is secret is revealed and made known’.

These individuals act as agents and helpers of God,
bringing order to His creation according to their abilities
and effort obeying the Divine commandments (Amr). The
greatest being the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
An observer who observes the quantum processes

animals, as signs of Allah for those who possess faith,
implying the anthropic principle and equal importance to
the role of all creatures, in the ecological balance, with
the humans perfected as Ahsan-e-Taqweem, clearly
indicating a superior role, in possessing body, mind and a
soul. All as signs to be reflected by those of faith, with
recognition of the importance of the Soul/Ruh as a
steady process of evolution from Nafs e Lawama to Nafs

good deeds).
And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e.
disobeys what Allah has ordered by rejecting the true
Faith of Islamic Monotheism or by following polytheism,
etc. or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds.)
When the verses 45:1-7 above are read in conjunction

with verses 91:7-10 the Quran explicitly answers the
dialectics of the like of Bertrand Russell who is stated to
have remarked, why he should study Quran when it would
be like any other religious book. I would like to quote a
passage from his book ‘Logic and Mysticism’ when he says.
‘It is my belief that the ethical and religious motives, in
spite of the splendidly imaginative systems to which they
have given rise, have been on the whole a hindrance to
the progress of philosophy, and ought now to be
consciously thrust aside by those who wish to discover
philosophical truth. Science, originally was entangled in
similar motives, and was thereby hindered in its advances.
It is, I maintain from science, rather than from ethics
and religion, that philosophy should draw its inspiration’.
And again when he ask the question empathically, is there

any knowledge which no one doubts about, not an optical
illusion.
‘Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain
that no reasonable man could doubt it? This question,
which at first sight might not seem difficult, is really one
the most difficult that can be asked. When we have
realized the obstacles in the way of a straightforward
and confident answer, we shall be well launched. When we
have realized the obstacles in the way of a
straightforward and confident answer, we shall be well
launched on the study of philosophy, for philosophy is
merely the attempt to answer such ultimate questions,
not carelessly and dogmatically, as we do in ordinary life
even in the sciences, but critically, after exploring all
that makes such questions puzzling, and after realizing all
the vagueness and confusion that underlie our ordinary
ideas……’.
And again
‘In daily life, we assume as certain many things which, on

a closer scrutiny, are found to be so full of apparent
contradictions that only a great amount of thought
enables us to know what it is that we really may believe.
In the search for certainty, it is natural to begin with
our present experiences, and in some sense; no doubt,
knowledge is to be derived from them. But any statement
as to what it is that our immediate experiences make us
know is very likely to be wrong’.
Here Bertrand Russell makes a bold statement, an

empirical fact, logical and sense bound. Any claims which
belie our sense-data processed by our discursive
intellect, lies in the realm of mythical and constitute
conjecture.
And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision
(rain) that Allah sends down from the sky, and revives
therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning
about of the winds (i.e. sometimes towards the east or
north, and sometimes towards the south or west etc.,
sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain etc., and
sometimes bringing the torment), are signs for a people
who understand.
These are the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,

revelations, etc.) of Allah, which We recite to you (O
Muhammad SAW) with truth. Then in which speech after
Allah and His Ayat will they believe?
The author of ‘The age of Reason’ able to unravel many a
mysteries failed to connect the dots in the absence of
Quran…When the world of the unseen starts to unravel
by His Grace, consciousness reaches self consciousness
and God consciousness. Even if Kant did or did not write
the Bismillah before his 1755 thesis, it does show, an
attempt can always be made to correct and rewrite
philosophy and give a new direction to history as in the
life of Dr Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad. Cambridge Muslim
College will certainly go a long way, in harmonizing the
various ecologies, to co-exit peacefully and in harmony
with creativity manifested in its infinite possibilities, on
achieving a balanced middle way, and lasting relations in
goodness with all traditions.
The belief in the same God, Who created the heavens

and the earth but without a son is highlighted, as a major
doctrinal difference in the following verses. Quran 6-
101,103.
The Creator of the heavens and the earth -- how should

He have a son, seeing that He has no consort, and He
created all things, and He has knowledge of everything?
Having veered from the straight path, the west again,

appears to be winning in its Globalization adventure, an
imitation of Macaulay and the East India Company’s
practices of world domination. where the sun never set,
instead of physically conquering , the emphasis now is on
controlling the mind. To produce carbon copies, machines
working for the good of Dr Frankenstein.
That then is God your Lord; there is no god but He, the
Creator of everything. So serve Him, for He is Guardian
over everything.
The eyes attain Him not, but He attains the eyes; He is

the All-subtle, the All-aware.
These challenge are be taken up, by Helpers of God, when

they act by His accord.
We have already sent Our messengers with clear
evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the
balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in
justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military
might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may
make evident those who support Him and His messengers
unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
Now as some would condone mystical experience or
Irfan/Intuiton, as Bida/Innovation how ever unique and
individualistic this experience might be it does not
render it liable to suspicion for those who, see it as
something to be lived and vividly experienced not read or
heard from others. One such experience in reference to
Professor Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, narrated by a devotee.
‘I want to relate an incidence which still sends shudder

down my spine, even to this day, one day as I was
preparing to go to Wasif sahib, when a relative asked me
to ask Wasif sahib to pray for the birth of a son. As I
entered his office, he was sitting by himself. Before
sitting myself, I narrated the request. Even before I had
finished heard a very loud voice, which definitely was not
Wasif sahib. It felt the walls of the room trembling, by
the dread of this voice. ‘Go We have blessed a son’ I kept
on standing and do not how much time had passed, then
Wasif sahib asked for water from a jug placed on the
table. I gave a glass full of water, when Wasif sahib had
finished I asked him, Wasif sahib what happened just
now. You do not to speak like this; this is not your style.
Wasif sahib directed me to the door leading to the
house, with his hand and said in Punjabi “Riaz oh app hi
bol gya hai meen te daar da mare utha lagya betha see”
‘Riaz He himself spoke, I was myself sitting in that
corner with dread’.
On mystical experiences Moses Maimonides remarks:

‘Such persons can never attain to perfection: it is utterly
useless to occupy oneself with them on such a subject [as
Metaphysics]. For this science is, as you know, different
from the science of Medicine and of Geometry, and, from
the reason already mentioned, it is not every person who
is capable of approaching it. It is impossible for a man to
study it successfully without moral preparation; he must
acquire the highest degree of uprightness and integrity,"
for the froward is an abomination to the Lord, but His
secret is with the righteous" (Prov. iii. 32).
Therefore it was considered inadvisable to teach it to
young men; nay, it is impossible for them to comprehend
it, on account of the heat of their blood and the flame of
youth, which confuses their minds: that heat, which
causes all the disorder, must first disappear; they must
have become moderate and settled, humble in their
hearts, and subdued in their temperament; only then will
they be able to arrive at the highest degree of the
perception of God, i.e., the study of Metaphysics, which
is called Ma'aseh Mercabah Comp. The Lord is nigh unto
them that are of a broken heart" (Ps.xxxiv. 18)" I dwell in
the high and lofty place, with him also that is of a
contrite and humble spirit: to revive the spirit of
thehumble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones"
(Isa. lvii. 15).’
In the world view of Iqbal, Islam harbors the greatest
challenge to Globalization, containing seeds to itself
universalize life as a complete force for good, ‘Mystic
experience, then, however unusual and abnormal, must
now be regarded by a Muslim as a perfectly natural
experience, open to critical scrutiny like other aspects of
human experience. This is clear from the Prophet’s own
attitude towards Ibn Sayyād’s psychic experiences. The
function of Sufism in Islam has been to systematize
mystic experience; though it must be admitted that Ibn
Khaldūn was the only Muslim who approached it in a
thoroughly scientific spirit.’
How a human being react here, he reacts as the Quran

says
And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have
believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish
have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the
foolish, but they know [it] not.
Are we the existentialists of Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean

Paul Sartre and Albert Camus?, or the bearer of Divine
Covenant accorded to the Prophets of revelation
Abraham(Pbuh), Moses (Pbuh), Jesus(Pbuh), and
Mohammad(Pbuh)?.
True Physics is that which will someday succeed in

integrating the totality of the human being into a
coherent representation of the world….. The Human
Phenomenon… By Pierre Teilhard De Chardin.13.
Again his observations..”The history of consciousness

and its place in the world remain incomprehensible to
anyone who has not seen beforehand that by the
unassailable integrity of it as a whole, the cosmos in
which we humans find ourselves engaged constitutes a
system, a totum, and a quantum: a system in its
multiplicity--a totum in its unity—a quantum in its
energy; all three moreover, within a boundless
contour..”14.
Where the Torah and Bible ends Quran takes over to

complete the message of God.
If you are in search of reality, it is impossible to

discover it without Quran.
Sultan
Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood.
Quran is the last book of God, includes messages of
all previous Prophets, a refined and beautiful
collection of physics and metaphysics.
Sultan
Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood.
These messages, of non-human origins evolved piecemeal

as scriptures, verses or ayahs of the text of Prophet
Abraham, Prophet Moses… the Hereafter is better and
longer lasting. This is certainly in the earlier texts,
the texts of Ibrahim and Musa. (Al Qur’an, 87:17-
19).16. Torah, Psalms of David, Bible and the Quran,
entail a code of conduct integrating the dynamics of the
times, developing as the human kind socially, rationally
and scientifically evolved in the last few thousand years.
However each recipient generation of these messages
fossilized around what it perceived to be the ultimate or
absolute truth, until to everyone surprise came, another
message and another messenger. Generating conflicts and
wars in the name of religion.
Talking to a pastor at Trinity Broadcasting Network in
Miami Florida, I felt perplexed not able to understand
the dilemma of God sending different prophets at
different intervals either to confuse us if I may say so,
or not understand the mode of His communications. What
does God wants us to do, change from being followers of
Moses(Pbuh) to followers of Jesus(Pbuh) , to followers of
Mohammad(Pbuh), some even claim to the continuation of
the revelation, even if their Prophets are Minor Prophets.
“The finality of any prophet can be observed with
reference to his message as well as with reference to his
status. It is possible for a prophet to be final in his
message and his status, yet it is also possible for another
lesser prophet to come after him without violating his
finality. It is this aspect of prophet hood that we are
going to thoroughly examine now”.17
”Nation of Islam rejects the Muslim belief that
Muhammad(Pbuh) was the last prophet. Instead it
teaches that Elijah Muhammad was a prophet of Allah,
and that Louis Farrahkhan is yet another messenger, sent
to deliver a last call to humanity.
Islam: Holds that Muhammad (Pbuh) was the very last of
all prophets, and that no more prophets would ever
arise.18
When the pastor, I referred to above said that the Jews

missed Jesus (Pbuh). How can we not claim that they
both missed Mohammad (Pbuh)? The first interfaith
dialogue that I had in my life, was a short lived one, as I
showed the said pastor the Noble Quran, he read it half
heartedly, commenting on it as professing a strong claim,
in the verse.
This is the Book;

In it is guidance sure, without
Doubt,
To those who fear Allah;
And promptly referred me to a book by Dr William

Campbell, and a free Bible, though voicing his concern, of
both faiths facing a challenge from the internet, and
both faiths somehow professing the superiority of men
over women, a patriarchal model. Dialogue is a way of
communication, when I communicate with the modern
Muslim youth about the ways of the Quran, I am stuck
too, like with the pastor, for he is not willing to accept,
anything other than the goddess of progress, science,
cutting edge technology, unlimited freedom, equal
opportunities, liberty, justice, reason and logic west, has
to offer for those of us living here. Human psychology is
an extremely powerful tool, to any knowledge of the self
of men and women; no dialogue is complete without it. The
difference between darkness and light a relative term.
Imitation seems to be a rule rather an idea, we tend to
imitate, like our ancestors long gone. Australopithecus
Africanus / Hablis and the Rampithecus before him, were
a one nation, under God, working together, to hunt, to
gather food, we have come a long way, with our genes
mutating into higher and higher levels of brain power.
Given the power full tools of science at one end, and the
racial superiority, religious pride, immense technological
wealth and power, diminishing us into ever segregated
individuals, communities and nations. We tell our stories I
too have a tragicomic story to tell, albeit a short one I
watched on the television, given in the backdrop of epic
struggles, we call the clash of civilizations. In one lecture
on the reach of Globalization, Thomas Barnett naval war
college professor, was explaining a long drawn out
program, to bring the world into one family and culture, a
Global village, when a Pakistani brigadier general asked
him a question, as to the impact his ideas or that of
globalization, would have on the values of religion and
culture, in parts of the world he came from. Thomas was
quick to cut him short, with explaining how the west too
had to go through a similar transition, the religious wars,
and the emancipation of women. We are in a state of
euphoria, what we call dialogue is in fact a monologue,
psychologist Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber in “Why Do
Humans Reason? Arguments for an Argumentative
Theory,” draw our attention, to the fact that, “Reasoning
was not designed to pursue the truth. Reasoning was
designed by evolution to help us win arguments. That's
why they call it The Argumentative Theory of Reasoning.”
And also “our thought processes tend towards
confirmation of our own ideas.
I would end with the following observation by David

Bohm.
“And it's very important that it happen together,

because if one individual changes it will have very little
general effect. But if it happens collectively, it means a
lot more. If some of us come to the 'truth', so-called,
while a lot of people are left out, it's not going to solve
the problem. We would have another conflict - just as
there is conflict between different parts of the
Christian faith of the Mohammedan faith or various
others, even though they all believe in the same God, the
same prophet or the same Saviour. Thus this whole
question of communication and the ability to dialogue, the
ability to participate in communication, is crucial”.
In retrospectively assigning the historical knowledge

emanating from the meanings of Sufi and the Scientist
into the Quranic word Ulul Albab constitutes a modern
day effort to redraw both the esoteric and the exoteric
into one whole. The Ayaat in chapter 3 verse 190-3
define the essence of those who achieve a purified heart
the (Lub) strive to become co-operatives and agents of a
Higher power, as assimilating both the Character and His
Creative Abilities.
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
the alternation of night and day,- there are indeed Signs
for men of understanding,-
Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting,

and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the
(wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth,
(With the thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou
created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from
the penalty of the Fire
At the same time keeping their identities for explicit

purpose of referencing the data accumulated in both.
It is here that a traditional/modern effort needs to be

made to bring the two into communication with each
other, in a dialogue between Ibn Rushd and Ibn-Arabi.
The aim of this Dialogue is to ascertain whether a

conversation can be established between Reason and
Intuition, and the objective being to see if intuition still
holds meaning/substance in the post scientific revolution.
The panel includes the following
Moderator:- Author.
Dr Timothy Winter lecturer at Cambridge University

school of Divinity.
A Muslim Kalam scholar of the past interpreting views of

both Ibn Rushd (Averroes ) and Ibn Arabi.
Moderator: Before we begin this interesting topic we
have to initiate an initial enquiry into the meanings
linguistic/philosophical and sociological/anthropological of
the words Intuition and Reason with reference to the
various cultures and customs they were embedded in.
Their subsequent development and evolution and the
impact these words would have in ultimately
transforming the brute (Hawaan Natiq, the talking
animal, the proto- human from the depths of ignorance
revering cultism/paganism given to human sacrifice to a
force for good).
Ultimately in ascertaining there influence on the great

men and women of knowledge and understanding the
outgrowth of the two and the great civilizations
produced a pragmatic test for both.
Intuition and Reason both unfolding the bouquets of

scented flowers of knowledge and civilizations , starting
from antiquity in its transition to the historical middle
ages, called the dark ages to the present, do present an
enigma. There being an inherent unease, between both
the philosopher and the deist on one hand, and the
theologian and the scientist, on the other to come to
terms, and form a partnership on their onward march to a
future progress, incorporating both the material and the
spiritual, expressed partially in what Carl Sagan say’s.
‘If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred

billion galaxies you will not find another.’
For in each and every civilization, claiming to have
contributed ,to the development and progress of these
words, both in the metaphorical and literal sense, as
evidenced in the fruit, produced and their impact on
human societies, a need arises too see why each tends, to
curtail the significance and influence of the other.
Moderator:- Humans beings have no eminence save in

their knowledge of God. As for their knowledge of other
than God, this is a diversion [‘ulala] through which veiled
human beings divert themselves. The right thinking man
[al-munsif] has no aspiration save toward knowledge of
Him.(IV-129-5). Ibn-Arabi on the Benefit of knowledge
by Dr William Chittick.
Moderator: I have two quotes.
TWO QUOTATIONS:
First:
"... We are fallible. We cannot expect to foist our
wishes on the universe. So a key aspect of science is
experiment. Scientists do not trust what is intuitively
obvious, because intuitively obvious gets you nowhere.
That the Earth is flat was once obvious. I mean,
really obvious; obvious! Go out in a flat field and take
a look: Is it round or flat? Don't listen to me; go
prove it to yourself. That heavier bodies fall faster
than light ones was once obvious. That blood-sucking
leeches cure disease was once obvious. That some people
are naturally and by divine right slaves was once obvious.
That the Earth is at the center of the universe was once
obvious. You're skeptical? Go out, take a look: Stars rise
in the east, set in the west; here we are, stationary (do
you feel the Earth whirling?); we see them going around
us. We are at the center; they go around us. ..."
Wonder and Skepticism (from Skeptical Enquirer, 1995)
By Carl Sagan -
Second:
The myth of Adam and Eve:
"Man and woman live in the garden of Eden in complete

harmony with each other and with nature. There is peace
and no necessity to work; no choice, no freedom, no
thinking either. Man is forbidden to eat from tree of
knowledge from good and evil. He acts against God`s
command, he breaks through the state of harmony with
nature which he is a part without transcending it.
From the stand point of traditional religion, which

represented authority, this is essentially sin. From the
stand point of man, however, this is the beginning of
human freedom. Acting against the command of
authority, committing a sin, is its positive human aspect,
the first act of freedom, that is, first human act.
(The myth reflects material history of man from

prehuman stage, when he was one with nature, to human
stage)
THE FEAR OF FREEDOM
By Erich Fromm
Dr Timothy Winter:-
Read through a Biblical concordance [says Rashid Rida],
and you will never find the word ‘intellect’ [‘aql], or any
synonym for this human faculty which raises human
beings above the entire animal kingdom, whether it be
‘insight’ [lubb] or ‘intelligence’ [nuha]. This is because this
category is never mentioned in either the Old or the New
Testament, since it is not a basis for the understanding
of religion and its arguments and lessons; neither is the
Bible’s religious discourse rationally oriented or based on
reason. Similarly absent are the words ‘thinking’
[tafakkur], ‘contemplation’ [tadabbur], and looking at the
world, all of which are among the greatest functions of
the intellect.
Moderator: Carl Sagan says:
My parents were not scientists. They knew almost

nothing about science. But in introducing me
simultaneously to skepticism and to wonder, they taught
me the two uneasily cohabiting modes of thought that are
central to the scientific method. They were only one step
out of poverty. But when I announced that I wanted to be
an astronomer, I received unqualified support—even if
they as (I) had only the most rudimentary idea of what
an astronomer does . They never suggested that, all
things considered, it might be better to be doctor or
lawyer.
And again
‘The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be’
Kalam Scholar:- Never before and never since, on such a

scale, has the spectacle been witnessed of the ruling
classes throughout the length and breadth of a vast
empire given over to frenzied passion for the
acquirement of knowledge . Learning seemed to have
become with them the chief business of life. Khali’fs and
Emirs hurried from their diwans to closet themselves in
their libraries and observatories; they neglected their
affairs of state—which they in general sorely
mismanaged---to attend lectures and converse on
mathematical problems with men of science ; caravan
laden with manuscripts and botanical specimens plied
from Bokhara to the Tigris, from Egypt to Andalusia;
embassies were sent to Constantinople and to India for
the sole purpose of obtaining books and teachers; a
collection of Greek author or a distinguished
mathematician was eagerly demanded as the ransom of an
empire. To every mosque was attached a school.
(Moderator note: A similar fervor can be mapped in the
life of a Queen Victoria who was eager to learn the
theory of Evolution and to send naturalist’s to every
corner of her empire to collect its flower and fauna.
Included the bureaucratic cadre who developed it as a
hobby sending back the specimens to the laboratories of
Great Britain) from…Rational Evolution By Robert
Briffault.
Moderator :
On the assertion that religion stifle’s progress by Syed

Jamal ud din Afghani:
‘In truth, the Muslim religion has tried to stifle science

and stop its progress. It has thus succeeded in halting
the philosophical or intellectual movement and turning
minds from the search for scientific truth. A similar
attempt, if I am not mistaken was made by the Christian
religion, and the venerated leaders of the Catholic
Church have not yet disarmed, so far as I know. They
continue to fight energetically against what they call the
spirit of vertigo and error. I know all the difficulties
that the Muslims will have to surmount to achieve the
same degree of civilization, access to truth with help of
philosophic and scientific methods being forbidden them.’
Here Syed Jamal misses the essentials of religious life,

and its meanings in the domains of the two
complementary disciplines, needed to acquire the
spiritual essence as opposed to the discipline required to
acquiring the social presence.
CONQUEST OF SPACE AND QURAN.
Is Sagan right when he says. “ We run the danger of

fighting to the death on ideological pretexts”.19 Or do
we need another Moses Maimonides to write another
Guide for the Perplexed. Then to our great surprise
comes the Quran, with amazing insights into the world of
NATURE, statements, exhorting its reader to study,
what we now call science. That everything created in the
Universe has a purpose.
Let me quote from an essay by Dr deGrasse Tyson.
“My personal views are entirely pragmatic, and partly

resonate with those of Galileo who, during his trial, is
credited with saying, "The Bible tells you how to go to
heaven, not how the heavens go." Galileo further noted, in
a 1615 letter to the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, "In my
mind God wrote two books. The first book is the Bible,
where humans can find the answers to their questions on
values and morals. The second book of God is the book of
nature, which allows humans to use observation and
experiment to answer our own questions about the
universe.20
Though not a book of science as in the anatomy, of the
modern day atheistic scientist, Quran supplements, the
Bible by unifying the answers to the questions on values
and morals with answers to the origin of the universe, to
our origin, our own questions about the universe, very
Galileo like. Verses “In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth.”18 of the Genesis, are elaborated,
in more detail, predicting advance scientific phenomena
only recently discovered. Scattered, like plums in a cake,
in the 30 chapters, 114 surah and 6200 ayahs of the
Quran.
The Bible underwent numerous changes, the Newton

project, a project dedicated to Isaac Newton’s writings
describes “Newton also spent an astonishing amount of
his time assessing how the simple original truths of
Christianity had been corrupted. Picking up a theme
central to his work on prophecy, he identified the fourth
century cleric Athanasius and his deviant associates the
vanguard of those who had introduced (as Newton saw it)
the false religion of Catholicism, and in particular, the
hideous doctrine of the Holy Trinity”.
Newton praises Arius for his upholding the unity of God,

against the mechanizations of Athanasius, with the
support of Emperor Constantine. The council of Nice
convened in 325 by Constantine himself resulted in the
invention of the false doctrine of Holy Trinity, called to
resolve the controversies regarding the concept, nature
and meaning of the same, as raised by Arius resulted in
his being excommunicated and banished, leading to an
ignominious end.
Carl Sagan illustrates in his book ‘Cosmos’ that the Ionian

Greek scientist would have worked wonders if the Greek
society would have kept on going with libraries as that of
Alexandria, where scientists were trying to find the
circumference of earth.………..which was Pre- Prophet
Jesus (Peace be upon him) and Mohammad (Pbuh), and
later, this endeavor would be pursued by Mohammad’s
(Pbuh) followers. This was taken up by Muslim scientists
beginning with the 4th Caliph Ali in his weekly Friday
sermons on the Quran in 6th century A.D, picking up where
the Ionians left, emphasizing on the study of nature.19
With 1/8th of the Quran or about 600 verses having
examples drawn from Biology, Zoology Geology, Physics
etc. Carl Sagan calls science as informed worship in his
book The Varieties of Scientific Experience, ironically
science or the study of nature is itself a form of worship
as the Quran says.
In the study of the heavens and the earth and in
alternation of night and day there are signs for men
of understanding…..(Al Quran 3-190) 21.
And coupled with instructions on moral values.
Thy Lord hath decreed

That ye worship none but Him,
And that ye be kind
To parents, whether one
Or both of them attain
Old age in thy life,
Say not to them a word
Of contempt, nor repel them,
But address them
In term of honour.
And, out of kindness,
Lower to them the wing
Of humility, and say:
“My Lord! bestow on them
Thy mercy even as they
Cherished me in childhood. (Al Quran 17-23,24). 22
And again on nature or science.
Seest thou not that

Of various colours.
And so amongst men
Among His Servants,
Seeing through the mist is of paramount importance, as

Karen Armstrong states quoting the Quran.
“Verily in the creation of the heavens and of the earth,
and the succession of night and day and in the ships that
speed through the sea, with what is useful to man, and in
the water that God sends down from the sky, giving life
thereby to the earth after it had been lifeless ,and
causing all manners of living creatures to multiply there
on, and in the change of winds, and the clouds that run
their appointed courses between sky and the Earth.(in all
this)there are messages(ayat) indeed for people who use
their reason.2:164
The Koran constantly stresses the need for intelligence

in deciphering the “Signs” or “messages” of God. Muslims
are not to abdicate their reason but to look at the World
attentively and with curiosity, It was this attitude that
later enabled Muslims to build a fine tradition of natural
science, which has never been seen as a danger to religion
as in Christianity.”24.
The following statement defines one of the five key

factors, as high level motivations for the exploration of
distant space, in building a space ship. A joint
collaboration between NASA and DARPA.
“Belief and faith: a search for God or the Divine, a need

to explore beyond Earth’s atmosphere as a part of
natural theology or as found through religious revelation.”
And again;
“Finally, Belief was discussed as a motivation for the

exploration of space on the basis of religious thought and
belief; one participant observed a distinction in the
definition of natural theology, which could be identified
as the knowledge of God obtained through any process
apart from Divine revelation. In this sense, exploration of
outer space could be motivated by either a study of
natural theology or as a need found through revelation.”
Unfortunately, unable to attend the conference held in

California and neither the seminar in Orlando(a free
event inviting everyone who believes in the Conquest of
Nature as a higher purpose or the ultimate frontier ,
only 3 hour drive from Miami). I was able to send this
article as an Islamic perspective on Conquest of Space, to
the office of DARPA, soliciting proposals on 11-11-2011.
In its essence one of its goals is to conquer the heavens
and earth, and search for God or the Divine. Exactly what
Quran describes, as a challenge to the intellectuals, men
and women of faith (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ , all over. God does not
discriminate, if the followers of one of His Prophets
slumber, for lack of vision, He does not depend on them.
So also warning if none of them, remembers, Him a new
creation, will be brought forth, if they do not heed to His
signs..
Do you not See

That Allah has subjected
To your (use) all things
In the heavens and on earth,
And has made His bounties
Flow to you in exceeding
Measure, (both) seen and unseen?
Yet there are among men
Those who dispute about Allah,
Without knoweledge and without
Guidance, and without a Book
To enlighten them!
Do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and
the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove you and
bring (in your place) a new creation!
Eminent Scholar of both science and divinity Inayat ullah

Khan, basing his studies on Quran and nature believed
that one day humans will have evolved to such a degree as
physically conquer the whole universe. Today Saturday
25th August, 2012, Neil Armstrong the first man to land
on moon, passed away. The journey these servants of God
started only God knows, when, where and how it will end.
Praise is to the Creator and Sustainer, the Lord of the
worlds in Whose, Might and Control all souls arrive.

Nuclear Engineer Sultan Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood,after an

in depth study of the Quran amalgamates three
principles of the Quran as life saving and world shaking
namely zikar,fikar and taskheer, that is remembrance, of
Allah , pondering his Signs, and conquest of nature. We
have to carefully watch the progress of knowledge in all
its domains. Not neglecting one at the expense of the
other.
An unverifiable sign yet is the existence of the unlimited
paths, tracts in the Heavens above us which are being
neglected by modern research as the Quran points to.
And We have created above you seven paths, and We are

never unmindful of creation.

following.
“I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION
The human history of exploration and grand designs—
from Ferdinand Magellan to John Harrison to Roald
Amundsen—has been a history of patronage and
persistence. Indeed it was sustained investments over
decades and sometimes centuries that ultimately yielded
the marine chronometer, a passage to India (or several),
circumnavigation of the globe, discovery of the poles, and
drilling into the Earth’s mantle. For the past half century,
the great domain for human exploration has been the
cosmos. In a break with the past, however, space
exploration has been principally a government-driven
enterprise. While not without its spectacular successes,
this has not proved—and nor would history suggest
otherwise—an especially promising model for long-term
investment into the fundamental challenges associated
with a sustained foray into space. Neither the vagaries of
the modern fiscal cycle, nor net-present-value
calculations over reasonably foreseeable futures, have
lent themselves to the kinds of century-long patronage
and persistence needed to definitively transform mankind
into a space-faring species.”

CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH AND

ORIGINS OF MANKIND
Carl Sagan observes in The Varieties Of Scientific

Experience. Now, we can say” Well that’s just because
the right words, were not available back, when the first
Jewish or Christian or Islamic holy books were written”
But clearly that’s not the problem, it is certainly possible
in the beautiful metaphors in these books to describe
something like the galaxy and the Universe, and isn’t
there. It is God of one small world a problem, I believe,
that theologians have not adequately addressed.
Quran and all holy books used the language of the

recipient nations to, communicate. Hebrew for Prophet
Moses(Pbuh). Aramaic for, Prophet Jesus(Pbuh). Arabic
or the language of the, Qureshi tribe in which Prophet
Mohammad (Pbuh) was born, called the {laguat ul
quresh}.In keeping with the traditions, customs, cultural
constraints, mode of conduct and habits. Wentzel Van
Huyssteen observes “I believe the history of ideas of
theological reflection shows that theological traditions
have been extremely sensitive to the culture(s) in which
they were embedded”.
Quran evolves and introduces, new and previously

unknown concepts scattered like seeds in its fertile soil,
through out its chapters as verses or signs to be
reflected upon. Inviting men and women of
understanding to ponder in its verses and chapters
collect data and in the process become Co-Workers and
servants of the Ultimate Reality, becoming infinitely
powerful, more and more an image of God, acquiring
wisdom and knowledge from the Divine book of nature
and the Divine book of revelation the Quran.
And Allah makes the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) plain to you, and Allah is
All-Knowing, All-Wise. Quran 24:18).
For reason is not the final arbitrator between men or

women and God, but it’s the love of God, His grace and
mercy in the heart of the believer which is the final
arbitrator. The love of God, is like a magnifying glass,
when His light (Nur) passes through it and falls on the
heart of a Momin, it melts and creates a new personality.
For this Ego to survive and grow it has to be constantly
cleansed in this light at every single moment of his or her
existence.
Not limited to
1. Remembrance of Allah(swt).
2. Five times prayers.
3. Regular Charity.
(Lit is such a Light)
In houses, which Allah
Hath permitted to be raised To honour; for the
celebration,
In them, of His name:
In them is He glorified
In the mornings and
In the evenings, (again and again)-
By men whom neither

Traffic nor merchandise
Can divert from the
Remembrance
Of Allah, nor from regular Prayer,
Nor from the practice
Of regular Charity:
Their (only) fear is
For the Day when
Hearts and eyes
Will be transformed (In a world wholly new)_
SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE OF MUSLIMS
Quran itself unifies natural theology with examples

drawn, from Geology, Astrophysics, Astrobiology, and
other sciences as signs of Allah with Amr (commands} on
what befits the best human behavior, as distinct from its
closely related DNA cousins in the animal world.
Essentially finding limits on Darwinism and inferring Fine
Tuning and Design at the molecular and astronomical
levels.
Thus grew the DAR UL-ULOOMS and DAR AL-

HIKMETS (The Home of Science)7. or center of leanings
in Spain, Central Asia, Middle East, Africa and all the way
to Indonesia, producing the finest scholars and scientists
who’s inventions and discoveries in art, literature,
medicine and Science were the fore runners of
Reformation and Renaissance in the west.
CORTEX AND ITS CONNECTION: Most probably the
link of a human with the Creator is through the Frontal
Lobe.
Western scholars accuse Quran of plagiarism, as having
been copied from Biblical sources. A reflection, and in an
depth study of the Quran reveal it to be a reforming
book both for Judaism and Christianity. Former British
prime minister Tony Blair remarks speak for themselves..
“I speak with great diffidence and humility as a member

of another faith. I am not qualified to make any
judgments. But as an outsider, the Koran strikes me as a
reforming book, trying to return Judaism and Christianity
to their origins, rather as reformers attempted with the
Christian Church centuries later. It is inclusive. It extols
science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is
practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to
marriage, women and governance”.
These messages from the scriptures, Torah, Bible and

the Quran, have a sense of continuity, a sense of purpose,
and history, being derived, from the same source, at
intervals of a few hundred to a few thousand of years.
More like nature or the universe itself, some times ,
showing chaos , random destruction, some concepts
harder to understand, than others, some to be left for
latter generations, with more advanced knowledge to
clear there meanings. One Sura starts with the creation
of man from Adam (Pbuh), and another exhorting Muslims
to visit the far corners of the earth to find out how God
originated the first creation. The man in the Galapagos
Islands and the other in, Brazilian rainforest of the
Amazon river basin and later in The Malay Archipelago
were attempting to do the same.
Say “Travel through the earth

And see how Allah did
Originate creation; so will
Allah produce a later creation:
For Allah has power Over all things.

describes the Arabic word “Bada” as following.
“He originated the thing; brought it into being or

existence; or produces it for the first time, it not
having been before.”
1. Now why would travelling be so important, otherwise

God creation is the person sitting next to us? We
can just observe him or her. Or the birds and
animals roaming in our neighborhood would suffice.
Some people make statements, like the arm chair
academics and generals. Alfred Wallace Russell,
went to the far corners, of the earth, prone to
infections and diseases, sub human cultures, and see
his brother die in the process. Arriving at the same
conclusions, as Darwin, but asking further questions
about the Creator, who had the mysterious power of
growth and reproduction.
2. Challenging 21st century Muslims, naturalists,
biologists, zoologists to eliminate and eradicate once
for all, or confirm parts of the Darwinian and
Wallace notions as Allah’s plan, for them selves by
studying the earth, with all its paleontology, geology,
and pale anthropology.
It’s amazing how Thomas Malthus writing in. “An essay on

the Principal of Population”, had a rare insight bordering
on mystical, with his remarks on the past and future, of
human kind. Reading God’s mind in earth, nature and the
scripture. He influenced both Charles Darwin, and Alfred
Wallace, both of whom independently, deduced the
principle of natural selection, accompanied with their
corollaries’ of survival of the fittest, random mutation,
and selective retention. Commenting on his inspiration,
the former remarks. “In October 1838... I happened to
read for amusement Malthus on Population... it at once
struck me that under these circumstances favourable
variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable
ones to be destroyed. The result of this would be the
formation of new species." And the co-discoverer Alfred
Russell says.” But perhaps the most important book I
read was Malthus's Principles of Population... It was the
first great work I had yet read treating of any of the
problems of philosophical biology, and its main principles
remained with me as a permanent possession, and twenty
years later gave me the long-sought clue to the effective
agent in the evolution of organic species.”
Utilizing all modern day tools. God wants us to visit the

far corners of earth as an Amr (command) to find the
mystery behind the beginning of life on earth. No other
translations can be made of these verses, as the word
Originate refers to creation of Mankind, since the next
and immediate verse alludes to how Allah’s (swt) will
produce a later creation in the Hereafter. Earlier Muslim
naturalist like Al Jahiz wrote.
"Animals engage in a struggle for existence: for

resources, to avoid being eaten, and to breed.
Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new
characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming into
new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on
their successful characteristics to offspring."
If naturalist like Charles Darwin, Alfred Russell Wallace
co-discoverer of natural selection and the Leakey’s could
venture in the far corners of the earth, as remote as
islands of Galapagos, Brazil , Malay and the wilderness of
Africa to read God’s scripture’s by studying the flora and
fauna on and Paleontology in the earth . Why could a
Muslim research team not do the same? Had we based
our research on the Quranic verses in the domain of
Nature, centuries ago, we would have rendered a great
service to make Quran, the light of the world.
A task taken up elsewhere, inferring natural selection to

be a mindless natural process, as the originator of the
first creation. Instead of natural selection a law in
nature as any other physical law, an agent of change, in
the universe and on earth being itself a corollary of the
law of maximum diversity and law of creation of order
out of chaos, all being the corollaries of the Word of
God. The former being diametrically opposed to what the
above verse challenges its readers to find out by
travelling throughout the earth and discover a Conscious
creator. Certainly these naturalists were not planning to
over throw the Scriptures, had any ulterior motives both
being trained in theology. They reported what they saw.
Alfred Wallace Russell’s is the architect of intelligent
evolution, belief in common descent that was directed, he
writes in his book.
The WORLD OF
LIFE
A MANIFESTATION OF
CREATIVE POWER, DIRECTIVE
MIND
AND ULTIMATE PURPOSE
“But besides the discussions of these and several other

allied subjects, the most prominent feature of my book is
that I enter into popular yet critical examinations of
those underlying fundamental problems which Darwin
purposely excluded from his works as being beyond the
scope his inquiry. Such are the nature and causes of life
itself; and more especially of its most fundamental and
mysterious powers-growth and reproduction.”
And again;
“I first endeavour to show (in Chapter XIV.) by a care-ful

consideration of the structure of the bird’s feather; of
the marvellous transformations of the higher insects; and
more especially of the highly elaborate wing-scales of the
Lepidoptera (as easily accessible examples of what is
going on in every part of the structure of every living
thing), the absolute necessity for organising and
directive Life-Principle in order to account for the very
possibility of these complex outgrowths. I argue that
they necessarily imply first, a Creative Power, which so
constituted matter as to render these marvels possible;
next, a directive Mind which is demanded at every step
of what we term growth, and often look upon as so simple
and natural a process as to require no explanation; and,
lastly, an ultimate Purpose, in the very existence of the
whole vast life-world in all its long course of evolution
throughout the eons of geological time. This Purpose,
which alone throws light on many of the mysteries of its
mode of evolution, I hold to the development of Man, the
one crowning product of the whole cosmic process of life-
development; the only being which can to some extent
comprehend nature; which can perceive and trace out her
modes of action; which can appreciate the hidden forces
and motions everywhere at work, an can deduce from
them a supreme and overruling Mind as their necessary
cause.
For those who accept some such view as I have indicated,

I show (in chapter XV, and XVI.) how strongly it is
supported and enforced by along series of facts and co-
relations which can hardly look upon as all purely
accidental coincidences. Such are infinitely varied
products of living things which serve man’s purposes and
man’s alone not only by supplying this material wants, and
by gratifying his higher tastes and emotions, but as
rendering possible many of those advances in the arts
and in science which we claim to be the highest proofs of
his superiority to the brutes, as well as of his advancing
civlisation.”
Here Alfred insinuates a creative power which directs

the affairs of nature to an Ultimate purpose. Being the
development of men and women using all the facilities
provided by this directive Mind.
Modern man having ceased to live soulfully, in its

pursuit of wealth and happiness, is he really modern or a
relative of the Toulambi’s, having changed his outer
attire. Leaving the Stone Age behind, to pilot space ships
instead of canoe’s, set up commerce around the globe
instead of scourging for food. What would a Michel
Montaigne render were he alive today?
Quran explicitly guides us and makes it very clear, for

those endowed with knowledge and Taqwa in
understanding Surah 76 Al Insan (Man), Al Dahr (The
Time). The evolution of Insan(Man) in Dahr(Time).
Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when
he was nothing - (not even) mentioned?
Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in

order to try him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing
and Sight.
The next steps being elaborated in the length and

breadth of the divine books of revelations including the
Torah , Gospel and Quran.
From: Psalm 19:1-4
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the sky displays his handiwork.

19:2 Day after day it speaks out;
night after night it reveals his greatness.
19:3 There is no actual speech or word,
nor is its voice literally heard.
19:4 Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth;
its words carry to the distant horizon.
In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun
To
In the alternation of night and day, and what God has

created in the heavens and the earth surely there are
signs for a God fearing people.
There is a continuity of Epic proportions, pointing to a

super race of space warriors engaged in the conquest of
the universe and endowed with the fear of Allah (swt).
Dr Mohammad Iqbal R.A remarks:

“The naturalism of the Quran is only a recognition of the
fact that man is related to nature, and this relation, in
view of its possibility as a means of controlling her
forces, must be exploited not in the interest of
unrighteous desire for domination, but in the nobler
interest of a free upward movement of spiritual life. In
the interests of securing a complete vision of Reality,
therefore , sense-perception must be supplemented by
the perception of what the Quran describes as Fuad or
Qalb, i.e heart”.
What does the Creator Himself says in the Quran.
Say:”Of your partners’,

Can any originate creation
And repeat it?” Say:
“It is Allah Who originates
Creation and repeats it:
Then how are ye deluded
Away (from the truth)?”
And again
And Allah has created
Every animal from water:
Of them there are some
That creep on their bellies;
Some that walk on two legs;
And some that walk on four.
Allah creates what He wills;
For verily Allah has power
Over all things.
We have indeed sent down
Signs that make things manifest:
And Allah guides whom He wills
To a Way that is straight.

Life forms have modified after having adapted to the
changed conditions, brought about in natural environment,
climate and means of subsistence.
We find evidence from the fossil records of the earliest

living organism in what are defined the Geological era,
starting with Precambrian from 4.6 Billion years ago to
the present.
Precambrian Time (4.600 million). Earth is formed,

continental shields appear, and Fossils are rare with Cyan
bacteria (blue –green algae found in still water) the most
common organism.
Paleozoic divided into:
4. Cambrian (542 million) Shelled marine,

invertebrate appear, trilobites and brachiopods
are common. First vertebrate appear,
atmosphere reaches the modern O2 (oxygen-
rich state).
5. Ordovician (488 million) Echinoderms appear,
Brachiopods increases, Trilobites decline, and
Graptolites flourish.
6. Devonian (416 million) Age of fishes begins,
Amphibians appear, Giant horse tails, Ferns, and
seed bearing plants develop.
7. Carboniferous (359-318 million) Amphibians
flourish, brachiopods are common, and land is
covered with forests and swamps. Coal deposits
form and reptiles are common.
8. Permian (299 million) Pangaea comes together
and mass extinctions occur ending the Paleozoic
era.
9. Mesozoic
Triassic (251 million) Dinosaurs appear, ammonites

are common, cycads and conifers are abundant,
and mammals appear.
Jurassic (200 million) Dinosaurs are the dominant

life form, primitive birds and flying reptiles
appear.
Cretaceous (146 million) Flowering plants and

modern birds appear, mass extinction mark the
end of Mesozoic Era.
Creation from Earth is what the Quran mentions when
some humans finding no hope for planet earth’s or their
own future, fall into despair, anguish and depression, in
the following verses when Noah (Pbuh) replying to God,
about his people’s obstinacy and arrogance and of his
efforts night and day to warn them of the impending
disaster which in the absence of piety would befall on
them. God does not change the condition of people, until
they repent, and ask His forgiveness.
In the mention of Abraham in the Quran we find him

studying the starry heavens, but no such discourse on
nature is observed for Noah(Pbuh). Allah(swt) inspires
His prophets with knowledge, which could not be obtained
otherwise of the past, present and future events.
Creation of Humans is mentioned in diverse stages, along

with the evolution of the seven heavens, as here God
mentions both humans and the heavens to be formed in
diverse stages. Along with creation of the Sun and Moon,
and spreading out the earth like a carpet. Another very
interesting sign points to creation of humankind like the
growth of a tree from earth; perhaps here the mystery
of the creation of humans is solved.
‘' Saying, ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-

Forgiving;
"' He will send rain to you in abundance;
"' Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you
gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).
What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due]
grandeur
"' Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse

stages?
Here scholars like Mohsin Khan allude to above ayah as

the creation in the mother’s womb, but considering the
whole narration of verses speaking of great works of
Allah(swt) in nature one after another , this verse points
in the different direction, of human evolution in stages.
In another verse the creation of the heavens and earth is
described as a great event, being far greater then the
creation of mankind. The creation of the heavens and
earth is far greater than the creation of mankind. But
most of mankind do not know it. And along with God
wanting us to visit the far corners of the earth to study
how the first creation was originated. It is the mighty
Lord, in His full grace and mercy conveying to all
generations past, present and future, secrets of the
Universe.
"' See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens
one above another,
The Arabic word (Samawate Tebaqan) is defined in the

Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane “The
Heavens (are composed of stages) one above another.”

Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were both trained in

theology (religion) , when they embarked on a journey for
searching the entire world to find how the species were
created , one in the ship Beagle and the other to Brazil and
later Malaysia came to conclusion what they saw with their
own eyes and not hearsay. While the above verses are
doing the same for Muslims biologist and zoologist we
simply ignore them. Where is Adam pbuh mentioned in the
above. These verses are taking about Humans and not
Heavens and the earth which too, evolved from the seed of
the Big Bang or its DNA. The west has sent many satellites
to find and construct the mathematical DNA of the origin
of the universe.
In Surah 32 verse 7 Allah (swt) describes the creation of

everything with perfection foremost being creation of
Humans.
It is He Who created everything in the best manner and

began the creation of the human being from clay
And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature

of a fluid despised
Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed
into him the soul (created by Allah for that person), and
He gave you hearing (ears), sight (eyes) and hearts. Little
is the thanks you give!
Knowledge is the Heritage of all mankind. In the Golden

age of Islam, in Andalusia, scholars like, Ibn Rushd
inspired, Moses Maimonides and later St Thomas Aquinas
with works, as Kitab fasl al-maqal, derived from the
knowledge of Quran.
These inspirations blossomed in to the pillars of science,

pure reason, abstract mathamatics, logic, technology,
higher religions, great edifices, on which the whole
superstructure of modern science and culture, is built,
after its birth incubation and maturity in the lands of
Islam, in cities such as Baghdad circa 800-1100
AD(although we cannot ignore the contributions of other
cultures, including the Chinese, Indian, Greek, Chaldean
and many more).
The year 1858 is a year when evolution continuing its

progression inherent in the tree of life, reached its
zenith, producing two men, who independently, of each
other, came to the same conclusions, i.e. natural selection
being the engine driving our physical and social progress,
with one major difference, as nature would have it, in a
very subtle way, the men them selves were also the
epitome of the split. The two papers each written by
Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace, and read
simultaneously on 1st July, 1958, by Charles Lyell, would
open up for debate in two directions or thoughts, in
subsequent books, speeches and articles written by the
two, one believed that , men and women are just another,
animal species, not given to any higher purpose, the other
believing them as the product of a special creation, a
divine manifestation, though the engine still remaining as
natural selection but it is not a single engine driven by
nature alone.
This opened a debate, which will continue, till both

thoughts are united in a distant future.(depending on
which side of the debate one belongs to). The adherents
of the first view are Charles Darwin, Alfred Huxley,
Stephen Jay Gould many others including Richard
Dawkins. The other side represented by none other then
Alfred Wallace Russell himself (with books such as The
world of life, a collection of arguments from winged
birds to wood as perfectly suited for ship building
offering insights of a divine purpose to making humans
the king pin of evolution from brute to a scientific
civilization)), Inayat Ullah Khan and Pierre de Chardin
(Inayat Ullah Khan a contemporary of Pierre de Chardin,
the two almost came to the same conclusions on human
evolution and destiny. With the first enunciating
evolution in his books Man’s destiny, Human problem
destined to explore the stars, with necessary ingredients
already laid out or in the process of creation by the
Ultimate Creator. Both Co-workers in this epic Divine
Purpose understood by heart of an omnium, al-insan al-
kamil and the later with Human Phenomena). The Muslim
Responses to Evolution by Professor Abdul Majeed
articulates arguments for and against evolution by
distinguished Muslim scholars.
And how many Signs

In the heavens and the earth
Do they pass by? Yet they
Turn (their faces) away from them!
Are Muslim scientists prepared to travel to the far
corners of the earth in Darwin’s, Alfred Wallace foot
steps and reclaim the knowledge derived as their
heritage. Quran mentions the birth of Adam (pbuh) as
spontaneous and special like Jesus (pbuh), taking place,
we need to see how it’s integrated with rest of human
kind. For Quran hints at evolution and creation of
heavens and earth as an event far greater than that of
humankind, as explained in later part of this essay. It
took the universe 13.7 billion years, for us to send,
advanced satellites and space crafts , to construct our
origins.
Allama Inayatullah Khan says, in his book Hadith ul

Quran, Allah Almighty has made parts of Quran, seem
chaotic like nature itself, with one verse having no
relation with the previous or the next. Like scientist
working with data from nature, it’s imperative for
scholars of Quran to see and construct the whole puzzle
to find meaning full answers.
Allah Almighty essentially used the prevalent Semitic

language Arabic or more precisely Laguat ul Quresh, the
dialect used by the tribes of Quresh of the 7th century
to download its messages, as mentioned above, very
strongly using the prevalent traditions, customs, cultural
constraints, mode of conduct and habits, certainly
overthrowing and unbalancing the modern day analytical
and empirical scientist. Let me give just one example the
word 7 is used by all the holy books to denote multiplicity
or many as the terms billions or trillions and terms like
Planck constant did not exist then. Moses Maimonides
says in the Guide of the perplexed chapter 29. “As his
words, as the light of seven days, the commentators have
said that means there by the multiplicity of light, for the
Hebrews denote multiplicity by the number seven.”
.
The influence Quran would wield on the later generation

of Muslims resulted in the religious fervor and zeal with
which they pursued knowledge.
Dr Iqbal writes, about the Muslim contribution to

Science with references from Robert Briffault’s book in
the following passages.
“Let me quote a few passages from Briffault’s Making of
Humanity.
‘. . . it was under their successors at that Oxford school
that Roger Bacon learned Arabic and Arabic science.
Neither Roger Bacon nor his later namesake has any title
to be credited with having introduced the experimental
method. Roger Bacon was no more than one of the
apostles of Muslim science and method to Christian
Europe; and he never wearied of declaring that a
knowledge of Arabic and Arabian science was for his
contemporaries the only way to true knowledge.
Discussions as to who was the originator of the
experimental method . . . are part of the colossal
misrepresentation of the origins of European civilization.
The experimental method of the Arabs was by Bacon’s
time widespread and eagerly cultivated throughout
Europe’ (pp. 200-01). . . .
‘Science is the most momentous contribution of Arab

civilization to the modern world, but its fruits were slow
in ripening. Not until long after Moorish culture had sunk
back into darkness did the giant to which it had given
birth rise in his might. It was not science which brought
Europe back to life. Other and manifold influences from
the civilization of Islam communicated its first glow to
European life’ (p. 202).
‘For although there is not a single aspect of European

growth in which the decisive influence of Islamic culture
is not traceable, nowhere is it so clear and momentous as
in the genesis of that power which constitutes the
paramount distinctive force of the modern world, and the
supreme source of its victory - natural science and the
scientific spirit’ (p. 190).
‘The debt of our science to that of the Arabs does not

consist in startling discoveries or revolutionary theories;
science owes a great deal more to Arab culture, it owes
its existence. The ancient world was, as we saw, pre-
scientific. The astronomy and mathematics of the Greek
were a foreign importation never thoroughly acclimatized
in Greek culture. The Greeks systematized, generalized,
and theorized, but the patient ways of investigation, the
accumulation of positive knowledge, the minute methods
of science, detailed and prolonged observation,
experimental inquiry, were altogether alien to the Greek
temperament. Only in Hellenistic Alexandria was any
approach to scientific work conducted in the ancient
classical world. What we call science arose in Europe as a
result of a new spirit of inquiry, of new methods of
investigation, of the method of experiment, observation,
measurement, of the development of mathematics in a
form unknown to the Greeks. That spirit and those
methods were introduced into the European world by the
Arabs’ (p. 191).
The first important point to note about the spirit of

Muslim culture then is that, for purposes of knowledge, it
fixes its gaze on the concrete, the finite. It is further
clear that the birth of the method of observation and
experiment in Islam was due not to a compromise with
Greek thought but to a prolonged intellectual warfare
with it. In fact, the influence of the Greeks who, as
Briffault says, were interested chiefly in theory, not in
fact, tended rather to obscure the Muslims’ vision of the
Qur’«n, and for at least two centuries kept the practical
Arab temperament from asserting itself and coming to
its own. I want, therefore, definitely to eradicate the
misunderstanding that Greek thought, in any way,
determined the character of Muslim culture. Part of my
argument you have seen; part you will see presently.”
The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater

than the creation of mankind. But most of mankind do
not know it. (Quran 40:57).
The heavens and earth on the universal and geological

time scales took 13.7 billion years to produce observers
or star stuff, as the scientists like to call us, to be able
to send satellites carrying advanced instruments into
space and construct our Origins. Looking back we infer
from the recent discoveries in astrophysics, the
singularity or quantum fluctuations of the big bang to
the present was a colossal task, both in complexity and
time scales. The above message distinctly mentions the
word Akbar, in Arabic for greater, larger, immense in
estimation , bigger, major, superior, the creation of
heavens and earth then the creation of human
beings....does this pertains to giving any clues that life
forms evolved too, in billions of years.. for if it took some
8 or 9 billions years.(We keep on changing these numbers
as we get more precise instruments and accurate data ,
as everything was happening in tandem) for the universe
to form the milky way galaxy and produce sun from the
protosun,
leading to the planetary system including our own earth.

Having itself evolved from the solar nebula, the accretion
disk and sufficiently cool down, on the surface for us, to
forget we live on a molten rock hurtling through space
travelling around, the sun at 18.5 miles per second , or
60000 thousand miles an hour and moving with the solar
system around, the galactic core once every 225 million
galactic years . The basic processes and principles to
take root for life forms to evolve, would happen in
tandem again for the above information from the Quran
as stating that the work of the creation of universe and
earth was immense, as compared to human kind, which
considering than could not have been, less either. As the
literal reading of six days of the Bible or Quran would
suggest. Each day reckoned as an Epoch in Geological
and Cosmic time scales of billion of years.
It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the

earth, and all between them, in six Days, and is
firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): ye
have none, besides Him, to protect or intercede (for
you): will ye not then receive admonition?(surah 32-4)
The universe as mentioned above had a beginning some

13.7 billions years ago, in what we now call the Big Bang,
smaller than the size of a pinhead,
Elaborating the creation of the Universe and all life

forms on earth appears in the following verses.
Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the
earth were joined together (as one unit of creation),
before we clove them asunder? We made from water
every living thing. Will they not then believe?
In The Guide For the Perplexed the famous Jewish

scholar Moses Maimonides writes.
“Do not turn away from the opinion according to which

the world is new, except because of a demonstration.
Now such a demonstration does not exist in nature.
Further more the student of this treatise should not
engage in criticism because of my using this rhetorical
mode of speech in order to support the affirmation of
the newness of the world. For Aristotle, the prince of
the philosophers in his main writings has likewise used
rhetorical speeches in support of his opinion that the
world is eternal.
In such cases it may truly be said: Shall not our perfect
Torah be (worth as much) as their Frivolous talk. If he
refers in support of his opinion to the ravings of the
Sabians, how can we but refer in support of our opinion to
the words of Moses and Abraham and to everything that
follows there from?”
Moses Maimonides would have to wait 800 hundred years
until, the launch of the COBE and WMAP satellite
missions for a demonstration in nature, upholding his
opinion that the world is new and not eternal as
Aristotle thought.

Dr deGrasse Tyson describes in his book the Origins,
with all the four forces unified into a single force. “At
this juncture Einstein general theory of relativity and
quantum mechanics describing the large scale and small
scale phenomena were indistinguishable, followed by the
epoch of inflation accompanied by the splitting of the
strong nuclear force and the electroweak force”. “The
inflationary era lasted from 10_37 second to 10-33
second after the big bang. During that relatively brief
stretch of time, the fabric of space and time expanded
faster than light, growing in a billionth of a trillionth of a
trillionth of a second from one hundred billion billion
times smaller than the size of proton to about 4 inches.”
“ Yes the observable universe once fit within a grape
fruit. But what caused the cosmic inflation? Cosmologist
has named the culprit a “Phase Transition.” That left
behind a specific and observable signature in the cosmic
background radiation.”
“With in the hot universe the photons converted to
matter and anti-matter particles pairs, with every 1
billions antimatter particles, 1 billion+1 matter particles
were born, the universe further cooled with the splitting
of the electro-weak force into electromagnetic and weak
nuclear force. As the temperature further dropped the
photons could not produce matter and anti-matter
particles any more resulting in the complete annihilation
of both leaving behind one matter particle for every 1
billion photons. In about a three minute period matter
converted to protons and neutrons, and combined to form
simple nuclei of atoms. Further cooling below a few
thousand degree Kelvin, this soup composed of electrons
scattering the photons, here and there started to
combine with the nuclei to form complete atoms of
hydrogen, helium and lithium”.
The universe was now transparent to light, and the left

over photons of that era appear as the cosmic back
ground radiation discovered by 1965 by Arno Penzias and
Robert Wilson at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in
Murray Hill, New Jersey.
In the first few billion years matter lumped to form

galaxies, with suns ten times massive then our star to
produce heavy elements under extreme temperature and
pressure, later to be scattered in the massive super nova
explosions.( Stephen Hawking is amazed at our earth
being spared with such a super nova burst and its
accompanying high energy gamma rays for the last nearly
4.5 billions, sparing life otherwise to be instantly
eliminated as we know it). About 8 or 9 billion years later
our sun was formed in the Milky Way galaxy from the
dust clouds enriched with these heavy elements. These
gas cloud formed the sun and accretion disk around it,
which in turn cooled sufficiently to form planets,
asteroids and the comets.
Though most water was present in the accretion phase,

new research point to asteroids, and icy comets in the
outer domains of the solar system contributing to a
portion of water in the oceans. The early earth was
ejecting enough water vapors from within rising to form
clouds in the atmosphere. The surface being so hot that
no water could collect there. After millions of years
these clouds cooled to form droplets falling to the
surface of the earth. Once our star system having
produced enough asteroids and comets to continually
bombard the planets for several hundred million years
gradually decrease, the molten surface of our earth gave
rise to liquid oceans, producing complex molecules, the
precursors of simple anaerobic bacteria which in turn,
would transform the carbon rich atmosphere at that time
into one with sufficient oxygen, paving the way for
aerobic organisms to evolve and establish in the sea and
on the land.
Quran describes the creation of all life forms from

water. Water with its characteristics to dissolve
chemicals, retain heat, maintain moderate temperatures,
including nutrients permitted biochemical reactions to
create and sustain life. Suggesting all life on our planet
to be of a common ancestry and origin.
Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens

and the earth were of one piece, then We parted
them, and we made every living thing of water? Will
they not then believe? Quran 21:30
The earth surface cooled and water started collecting

in the basins. Dissolving minerals from the rocks, to form
the salty oceans, evaporating again forming endless
cycles of a natural desalination plant. Mentioned in the
Quran from a beginning of a few billions years ago, to
still happening before our eyes, in every thunder, every
rain droplet falling on the earth and producing an aroma.
Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky
and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth;
then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then
they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes
them [scattered] debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for
These gigantic works of God are full of signs, In the

struggle for existence, we are changing earth’s fine
balance, cutting rain forests providing major source of
the oxygen we breathe. A saying of Prophet Mohammad
(Pbuh) exhorts us to plant trees.
Do they just wait
For the final fulfillment
Of the event? On the day
The event is finally fulfilled,
Those who disregarded it
Before will say: “The Messengers
Of our Lord did indeed
Bring true (tidings). Have we
No intercessors now to intercede
On our behalf? Or could we
Be sent back? Then should we
Behave differently from our
Behaviour in the past.”
In fact they will have lost
Their souls, and the things
They invented will leave
Them in lurch….Surah 7-53.
Many are the Jinn and men

We have made for Hell:
They have hearts wherewith they
Understand not, eyes wherewith
They see not, and ears wherewith
They hear not. They are
Like cattle-nay more
Misguided: for they
Are heedless (of warnings).
But those who worship Allah the Most Gracious and the
Most Merciful, His Mercy encompasses all despair, all
depression, all suicidal thoughts, all sins when sincerely
repented bringing glad tidings.
So that Allah will
Turn off from them
(Even) the worst in their
deeds
And give them their reward
According to the best
Of what they have done.
Those who believe,

And work righteousness—
Their Lord will guide them
Because of their Faith:
Beneath them will flow
Rivers in Gardens of Bliss

Mehfil on 8-6-2013 with Dr Azhar Waheed Saheb.
When it is said that time stops in the journey of

Miraj, then does the stoppage of time means, that
the Arsh(throne) and the Maqamat are outside the
domain of time.?
It is a difficult topic, from what is known partially, we
cannot state anything with certainty, as the
Umi(follower) cannot estimate the Uroj and
Miraj(Greatness) of the Nabi Pak(Prophet Mohammad
Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam) which is beyond
comprehension. What we have got from the knowledge
handed from generation to generation, is that
Waqt(time) has two Jahatain (entities), one being
connected with space , the horizontal axis on which rest
are usual calendars, and the other being vertical, which is
probably called Dhār. In which although there is depth,
but its is at a standstill called Ana e Wahid (single
moment/pure duration) that dimension of time. Also it is
said since Nabi Pak(Prophet Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi
Wasallam)is the Ruh of the Qainaat(Universe)so when
the Ruh leaves the Jasad it becomes standstill. So the
stoppage of time was very natural, since when the cause
of time and events was not there in the Alam Khalq, the
stoppage of time was natural. My grandfather used to
say, that before the creation of India and Pakistan, he
used to sit with intelligent Hindu Jotshi’s, and one a very
capable of them said you Muslims talk a lot about Qiamat
(the end of times). I can tell you the end of time if you
Muslims can give me the, duration of the Miraj, when we
calculate the Qiamat end of the world, as soon as we try
to calculate the time a space comes in between which
hinders and interrupts our calculations before and after,
and it the same space which you say your Prophet
journeyed in Miraj, in which the interval of Miraj took
place.In the Waqai e Miraj shariff it has been declared
with certainty, that the events in time and space do not
work only by cause effect and calculations , now a Zaat is
involved, now the Mansha of the Zaat is involved,
although before that it was according to calculation. We
see in Sura Jinn also that Jinnat used to say that before,
we used to get information from the heavens, but after
the Besaat, we cannot intervene when we try as we do
are followed by a bright Shaab e Saqib, also in the
narratives we find that too, that after the Prophet
Sallalahu alaihi Wassallam came back, the bed was hot,
the chain at the door was swinging and the water for
Wadhu was flowing.
The particles (and forces created in the space-time
continuum are the symphonies produced out of the
vibrating strings of this violin the Grand Cosmos, whether
a scientist arrives at a discrete space-time as the musing
of string theory or no space-time as in non locality, ), this
music created by the violin(its strings) is actually at the
heart of Tasawwuf, it is all about , hearing the tones
coming out of this violin. Tasawwuf is looking at the
whole, that is why the description of a Sufi encompasses
the totality, while that of a scientist being partial. As
Allama Mohammad Iqbal R.A has mentioned in his
‘Reconstruction of Religious thought in Islam’.
If you ask me how I define Miraj Shariff, although
there different Jahatain( meanings), which have been
and will unfold on the ummat, I would like to talk in the
context of Shan e Mustafa, I will say that the Waqai e
Miraj was the declaration of the Faniat e Basheriat. The
complete and outspoken declaration of Fana e Basheriat
. The declaring I am Ana Bashar by the Prophet Sallallahu
alaihi Wassallam.
This could be interpretation of a poet, like me a childish
feeling, Azhaar e Aqeedat (the love of the Prophet
Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam). The Purdah even of Meem is
not in between tonight. Time is Alam Khalq, time is
Takhliq (creation), those who do not consider it Takhliq,
and do not believe that time is created by a Creator;
they consider time itself as the creator, that is why they
are called Dharia(atheist/free thinkers). Because they
see the essence of time and all its great seefat
(properties) appearing as similar with the Divine, time is
everywhere, time is Qadar(power), time over comes
everything, then those who do not believe in a Zaat have
to believe in time as omnipotent, omnipresent, in alam
Khalq the key seems to be time, the key factor, the
code, when time types a command after sometime things
start happening for those who do not believe in a Zaat,
that is why they are called Dahria. When the Jana e
Takhliq will go to Jane e Jana, takhliq will stop, that is
why we say that time stopped. Another thing which opens
up from this question about time stopping in Waqai e
Meraj, is that as in the Iman of Sufia belief of Zaat e
Mohammadi is Barzakh e Kubra, a medium between
Khaliq and Maqhlooq, when the medium is directed
towards the Maqhlooq, with all the faculties of Mazaga
Al Basar or Mataagaa in conversation and in the Qurb of
the Creator when the chain of the door was still moving ,
indirectly proving Barzakh e Kubra, when the Rab gives
Zaat Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam is the one
who divides, the knowledge would come divided to the
Maqhlooq of Waqai e Miraj and would be partial,
blossoming with time until Qiamaat.
Question: What is Time?
Time in the fabric of Taqhliq (creation) is a Tana, and

space is a Bana, first during knitting Tana and Bana
creates the space-time fabric, when the Dori (thread)
of time is pulled and the thread of time is erased from
the fabric, in the Alam Kasarat(diversity in nature), the
designs and calligraphy in the garden of creation are
ripped. The differentiated phenomena between the
grandfathers, father and son is due to time, if it is
removed all the difference between the generations is
removed, time has proliferated matter, fashioning
matter, disintegrating in a very integrating way.
To the question is time the destiny of Zaat, this is that
time which we call Dahr. Aima Pak state about this time
is that I am time; it is my Will, the dimension of time
which is vertical. It is not the horizontal or the serial
dimension, which can be divided according to the calendar
and the clock. Dhar is Ana e Wahid (single duration)
cannot be divided, as applicable on Zaat, Jaisa tha waisa
hai (Was as Is), and zamana ko kabhi bura na kaho(do
not vilify time). There are two terminologies involved
when we use serial time and Divine time together. People
say if the time is related with the movement of matter,
if matter stops moving the meaning of time will diminish.
Serial time is used to record change. If time is for
Makhlooq no one will become Dahriah(atheist/free
thinker).
Question: Do we refer it to serial or vertical time the

above reference to Dahr .Are we talking about serial
or horizontal time, a single moment Ana e Wahid is
creating serial time
Answer: it is for both, my perception and not of a
scientist, is although debatable, at the moment of
creation , when time was created in vacuum ,the matrix
on which creation took place is called Dhār (time).
Question: When you were talking about the stitching

of fabric of space-time of Tana and Bana the kasarat
(diversity) created in serial time as you mentioned
earlier, does it not typify Hijab(Viel).
Answer: Certainly it is a Hijab, this is the Hijab which

when lifted is called Makashaafa in the calendar year,
when we say, we met someone in the past, meeting a 200
year old Saint, a 500 year old, a 1000 year old, how did
we meet, by the lifting of this Hijab of time.Let us talk
about something beyond science.
Question: Yaad ka Haal ko Hama Haal kiasa kya

gaye(How do we make permanent the remembrance of
the beloved.?
Answer: Yaad has two entities like time, one is suri, and
the other seerati, one of tasawar and the other of
concept, when we remember someone, we remember the
face and the movement of that person, this is purely
based on love, and the other dimension is looking at the
seerat, khayal and Uswa Husna, the Amal of Yaad is
both suraati and seerati, so both, accepting the seerat,
on oneself, so that I might not commit something which
would be in opposition, if my Amal is before the beloved
how will the reaction be.
The other is being getting Hamrang, the dimension of
seerat, which reduces the distance, the distance is
reduced in love, by nature it wants to remove the
distance, the formula is ‘Itaba Kardar’; when one attains
hamrang or Sigbat Ullah only we become Hamrang then
we become close. For otherwise the zahari yaad as in a
mosque does not bring that closeness.Yaad really creates
wonders, starts at surat, then journeys through seerat
becomes Wasal e Mehboob(one with beloved).God does
not see our faces but Taqwa.
To travel on seerat, on the path and seerat of the
Medina Wala, and the path of the Aulia Allah makes you
Hamrang, reduces the distance, Itaba e Kardar e
Mohammadi, as described by the Sufis. Those who say
they want to love Allah should follow the Prophet
Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi.When they become Hamrang
and be on the path of Sigbat Ullah(color of Allah) is
actually the path to Hama Hal. When the standing,
sitting and lying down of a Momin becomes a Hama Hal, a
question of niyah, even he sleeps during. When I went to
do Umra,I fell sleep and felt sad to have missed the
namaz, a Saudi friend came to meet us and while talking
to us mentioned that to sleep in the Haram is sawab too,
so I felt better .So its is all about the niyah, like when
we are in masjid for Ithiqaf, everything is prayer,
whether eating, sleeping but should be Ba Wadhu
ablution, otherwise it’s like a person in a library is looking
at books without Wadhu. The Wadhu of Niayah, for first
thing in namaz is to Ba Wadu and second being Kibla Ruh.
Will the Mohib and Mehboob be together in the day of
Judgment or in Barzakh too, it is also in Hadith pak too,
does it apply to Barzakh also or after. The sangat has
started, Khafi in barzakh and in barzakh the other will
not know who is with whom, in Hashar it will be known,
these are shuhada, salaheen, momineen.
This question asked by Sheikh Sahib is for a practical

traveler.
Same action produce different results in different

situations, it depends on niyah , when for example I gave
water to sheikh sahib it was giving water, in another
situation the niyah could be different, when we travel
abroad we get a travel tag, having a flight number, if the
tag is changed the bag gets to another destination. So
with our Amal we should be very careful to attach the
proper tag, sometimes the amal and niyah are same, but
the situation could be different, saying a poem in front
of a people having different understanding will have
different reaction and respect. Depends on the
environment, we have no power on the environment, when
there is Majboori, Munafaqat comes in. When we have no
control on the environment we are not responsible for a
different reaction, we had offered a meal, but if some
one did not accept it is not our fault. We cannot control
the entire environment, but there is a middle way, the
solution is and that is what people say if we are
committed to one Idea for a long interval , than we start
slowly acquire an environment conducive to our Khayal.
We make our environment conducive to our Khayal, if we
are using poetic language, we will get similar company
slowly but surely. As long as we are committed to a
Khayal (idea/thought) by the Kudrat(Grace of the
Mighty), we will start attaining similar ideas, events and
people in the outside world aiding our Khayal. If we are
not sincere, with our Khayal, then we will lose, otherwise
things get settled down. Until our desire is inside the
circle of our Khayal we will no be disturbed, it is our
desires the steps we take which produces an environment
of evil. If we are sincere with our Khayal, our steps will
take us in the right directions, but it is the desires which
bring in the wrong direction. Almost there is 99% chance
we will be among the righteous, in our own environment,
but if we are overtaken by desire, then being under the
influence of desires we will be in the wrong company.
Question: Does khayal feeds on the nourishment

provided by the Hum Khayal (friends having same or
similar thought), or is a Divine Gift or an endowment.?
Answer: A khayal is an endowment, and the Zaat which
endows it also nourishes, protects and takes care of the
Khayal, there is no contradiction among the three, will
be better nourished among the same group. But a Khayal
can also get instructions from a different medium, like
someone who asked Socrates, where you got Wisdom, he
said from the fools, whatever they did I did not do. So
when a Khayal becomes established, which ever valley and
alley it passes through it will eat only that fruit which
suites it own Khayal. It is said about storks (though not
established scientifically) that when it is provided
adulterated milk, it leaves the water in the milk. Some
birds only pick up the pearls, so a person has established
an idea, will pick pearls too, whatever environment it may
get in. As environment is similar in most circumstances.
A few days back my son was sitting with his grandfather,
the grandfather said to my son, you have read about the
biography of Quaid e Azam by Fatima Jinnah, what
lesson did you learn, my son said he did not accept the
desire of his father, who wanted him to learn commerce,
and he instead studied Law so he did not fulfill the
desires of his father. So when one is on a Lahaj (path),
if one learns something, he will learn that which suits
him out of everything else. The grandfather said he
changed because he could not afford to study commerce,
but my son only remembered that he opposed his father.
In this world those who suffer , the righteous people who
face difficult path, full of thorns and sufferings, one of
the observation is that whoever tread this path face
opposition, the other observation is that those that were
faced with difficulties were great souls.
So when the Khayal once gets consolidated whatever
valley it travels through, although it will face injury ,
injustice, suffering but will never die, until reaching its
destination, Maqam e Maqsood and Maqam e Takhliq and
Ina Lillahah Wa ina Alahi Rajaoun.
Question: In the journey towards Saluk , there is one

ambiguity the desires are always there, unless it is all
under Allah Subana-hu Will.That is not possible for
everyone , on the other side there is a Khayal.
Answer: Desires will be there no doubt, but there is a

constant Hijrat towards Saluk, the attributes of
Jism(body) and its demands are called desires, and the
demands of Ruh are called Khayal. We gradually dip in
the desires, it is not that desires do not exist, they do
exist, but even after its existence, we try to bypass
them. Quran says too that there are the parameters of
desires of Lust, gold, women, horses, do exist, personally
I think that as the Khayal gets stronger, the desires
start to die down, or at least start to become less
attractive. When a stronger Khayal becomes a part, of
one life, the desires become irrelevant, as an example it
is the desire of the new born children to drink the
mothers milk for ever, until we divert them to other
food. Similarly one fond of a higher Khayal, or a table
laid with the food of Khayal will be attracted away from
desires. When we teach a boy to play carom board they
will not play other game, or when we teach them to play
cricket they will not play Guli danda (a sport played in
the Indian subcontinent with a stick and bails).
Question: How do we know something has become a
Hijab, as Sufia say even the desire of Qurb becomes
a Hijab.
Answer: That is a metaphysical matter, until now we are
talking about desires, body and Ruh, that is about Tarq e
Aula, meaning if there are two pious feelings we desire
the best out of two. If there is Khayal e Qurb and the
Mehboob which do we select. Until now we are talking
about desires.
It’s about developing the taste, what is called Tazkya e
Nafs is a Zauq about piety, your taste has so developed
that you dislike impiety. It is about maturity.
What I was taking about is a matter of maturity, as an
example children who have a deficiency of calcium and
vitamin D , eat earth to quench their desires but not a
sane person, we can consider earth as wajudi activity.
Desires are always there. All we do is postpone our
desires for the higher path. A law of Neurophysiology
states that when a nerve impulse travels through that
nerve repeatedly, a phenomenon is developed we call
facilitation, a nerve impulse passing through a center
again and again will develop diligence, and phenomenon is
called disused atrophy, when we do not use a limb with
time it dies down. So is the case with desires, the less we
use it will shrink, and the more we exercise a desire it
will grow.
Question: I am talking about Naik Khwaishat ( good
desires).
Answer: Then desire is a different category; for good
intentions the word is Tamanna.
The word desire has a negative connotation which hinders
in the activity and development of the Ruh, for the word
Tarq a Aula, as the Sufia say, when we have a choice
among two feelings of piety or choice, we select the
better one or the superior one. Quran says ‘what is the
best invest in that’
Question: Usually people who use a part of Quranic
verse to diminish the status of the Great Prophet
Sallallalahu alaihi Wassallam.Instead of arguing we
should bring forth, knowledge which enhances the
Shan (status) Prophet Sallalalahu alaihi Wassallam.
Answer: This is a degree of Irfan, Maqam Irfan, I
remember Hazrat Wasif sahib R.A saying what kind of
Ummati is that who is discussing knowledge about the
Prophet , how knowledge he had, this is unfortunate ,
those who have less Irfan will do such activity, even a
mathematician entering a discussion having a material
worldview will have such ideas getting entangled in time
and view , when my friend went to do ummra, he was met
by those who said, how can call the Nabi the cause of the
Universe, though Prophet Adam was the first, so people
having the kharaji worldview what is there crux, there
crux would be applying Quran on the deliveral of the
Quran.
Question: At our level we do not have a problem, but
these people give references of the Quran and sunnah,
its is not our personal problem, but fear the loss of
others.
Answer: It is said a group of people came to meet Hazrat
Nizam deen Aulia R.A from Afghanistan, and said to him ,
that it is heard there are 300 ayat, in praise of Muala
Ali, on which Hazrat Nizam deen Aulia replied, you say
there are 300 verses , I say there are 6686 ayat in his
praise.I can prove it you,
In the time of Prophet hood some people came from Iran
with about 20 or 25 questions to validate the claim,there
ulema told them that if the answer to these questions be
given would mean the claim to be true, and met Hazrat
Ali R.A, on the way, they were asked by him as to the
purpose of their visit. On being told, he replied to all the
20 or 25 questions and to their bewilderment they said
are you the Prophet of Islam.He replied I am just a
cobbler for the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallallam. So
it is ridiculous to argue about the verses.People who know
their words stop at Shere Ilm, the ladder of Shere Ilm is
so high.
Quran is Maaqalma a dialogue between the Mehboob and
Mohib, it has to be viewed in that perspective.
Questionaire: The path to Irfan is love is that so?
Answer : If the Niyah is wrong every step leads to
ignorance, there was a Manazara some time ago among
two school of thoughts , on a question about whether the
Prophet Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam knew about the
hidden knowledge or not, one person said, I am so happy
that all the night I was reading kalam e pak to find means
of Praising the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallamand
you were reading it to diminish.
Mehfil with Dr Azhar Waheed sahib on 6-15-2013.
Question: There is dilemma when the Jamud of the

Wajud engulfs or overtakes one. When one is a in
Mehfil and enjoys a sentence, and then tries to
perceive himself and judge at what level he is at,
thinks of the fast track ahead what should he do.?
Answer: The thing is that if we consider walking

(wayfaring) as an ability, and the ability to travel on a
fast track of the khayal is an ability and talent, what we
need instead to do or the moral of the lesson or the key
to your question, although the explanation can be lengthy,
the answer is not to make an effort to develop our
potential or ability specially for the two of us (Yousaf
saheb and Dr Saheb), not to develop our ability , it will be
slightly different message for these youngsters. Our
journey and effort should be towards Ikhlas , towards
zeroing , so the movement is zero, a physical aspect of
Ikhlas is you are at a standstill, and you are just
observing what is going on with you and what is happening
with everything else around, until a command is given, a
movement without a command means there is an element
of a desire. Our desire is acting under a stimulus. What
we have to do is to write a letter and forget, until the
postman comes and knocks on our door, do you follow the
point. So the effort should be towards Ikhlas, and not
developing an ability, which I have now realized that in
this department, is not that much needed, because the
meaning of this department is not do anything which one
desires, as a lot of good work and effort is done under
the Khawaish e Nafs( impulses of desires).In ikhlas all
the erratic movement is stopped. In ideal situation every
moment and movement has to stop, say if we are
travelling to another country, say for Umra. All we need
is move towards the airport the rest will be done by the
plane,to reach the platform the rest of the movement
will be done by the plane; our physical movement is to
reach the plane, our effort is to reach the plane, after
that it is the heavy vehicle.We can have as much
potential, in spite of all our potentials once we are in the
plane , we cannot do anything , till the time doors are
closed, once we reach that stage, when we can say, we
have reached the platform , the rest is Your wish and
Manzil.
Question :When we go through intensity in the path of

Tasawuff, a separation which generates intense
longing for God, sometimes this intensity for
Qurb(longing) creates a negative feeling of the heart
being sad, heart is breaking, this intensity getting so
uncontrolling (almost like an authority). Why is that?
What we call Firaq is meant to increase our Zaraf

(potential). To increase our ability this delay takes place.
A child prays of going to Hajj, if he can go to Masjid
Nabwi, if he goes at the age of 8 or 10 years, all he will
get is a few feelings, but if he goes at a mature age of 40
or 45 years, the delay will cause him he can learn and
recite Naat will become more Ba Himmat. So this delay or
Firaq is created, samma is wisaal everywhere, in actuality
there is no wisaal , the distance is all about our
Khayal(thought),otherwise we are not distant.
Khizar kya Batai kyon kar batai
Agar mahi pochaa darya kahan hai
The river we are trying to find, we are physically in this

river, but not Manwi (Tasaawuf). These feelings are for
nourishments, in the menu of the food. So that a
balanced diet with proper vitamins are meant to provide a
complete diet.
The job of a Musafir is to keep on traveling not reading

the milestones, in mountaineering when we go to the base
camp, until reaching the base camp a lot of video is taken,
a lot of activity and enthusiasm is shown and seen, until
slowly a journey of solitude starts, when reaching the
peak or a special peak a lot of extra effort is undertaken,
even a single step, its not that his travel has stopped,
when the mountaineer thinks and calculates where he was
and where he is at the present does not work, taking a
single step when going towards the peak. The horizontal
direction is changing into the vertical. It is the job of
the Mountain climber to keep the peak in sight, and not
worry about the steps.
Question: So overcoming our weaknesses,

shortcomings. Sometimes I think the rope is getting
entangled and cannot get hold of the end.
Answer: Let us talk of the first thing.
Question: It is part of the first thought?
Answer: The entangling of rope is a very serious issue

due to Fikari(like doubt), not getting hold of the end of
the rope is. The first thing you talked about weaknesses
and shortcomings is not a serious issue, that is just like
Flu, but the one of entangling is like a cancer. It is due to
the change in thought (ideology) or a very complex and
confused state a cancer of a lethal kind. Even if there is
no action, when one is in the haram, is not that dangerous,
even sleeping in the haram is sawab, but the entangling is,
when a journey started ends up in confusion, so
everything he has done in the past and before goes to
nought. Today we have to untangle this problem for once.
To untangle the rope.
Question: The thought did not come in relation to

Fikar, that came in although is related to Fikar which
is not deviating and is perfectly fine, there is a sharp
contrast, when the khayal is getting stronger, a lot of
things, of which the Khabar is being given, but the
wajud (liking getting lazy) and rest of the issues are
not in synchronizations.
Answer: Probably you did not use the correct words then.
Observation/Questionare: Yes I admit I used it in the

wrong context.
Although the philosophy is that the word is used

correctly although in the interpretation we do make
mistakes, as it contains a batin, which is unraveled by the
unconscious. Word contain a batin(inner meaning).
Unconsciously what ever comes out our mind reflect
exactly our batin. But when a detail is asked sometimes
explaining is difficult. The practical faults are very easy
to remedy, the line of Amal is clear, there is no
confusion, Faraiz, wajab, Haqooq Ul Abad, Haqooq Ul
Allah, example as we are on a highway , traveling in the
left lane we need to go in the right lane to make a right
turn , the sergeant seeing our mistake forgives us before
giving us a ticket. Needs two rakat namaz tooba, as long
as we are
breathing the doors to repentance are always open. The
great struggle is in the Khayal or thought, if a mistake is
made here then there is concern. If the direction finder
of the plane malfunctions is changed instead of going to
London we land in Paris. The entangling of the rope is
consciously or unconsciously of concern, reading the
theory on one end, we see a different practice is a cause
for concern. The theory was different, and the conduct
of people practicing it act differently, seeing the
Muslims creating doubt about Islam. The misconduct of
followers does not effect the Nizam, instead of finding
truth and proving it we should follow it with full Ikhlas,
as we practice and travel on it the doubt is removed. The
reasons of entanglement are also due to Be
Amali(Laziness), those who consider themselves men of
knowledge but do not practice is a self defeating effort,
which he himself is writing. Be Amali all also dissipates
ones efforts, one can see the face but does not enter.
Other reason is we associate yourself with that Khayal.
Example those who follow Islam, start to associate and

think their understanding as the true, explantion. Infact
it was due to Islam that they got Kalimah. If we were
around Islam would be different. So the entanglement of
the rope can be due to many reasons. When we
differentiate between khayal and Saheb e Khayal,
between tasawwuf and Sufi and, trying to check the sufi
in the chapter of tasawwuf. The untangled rope is
achieved through a person and so is it entangled too. The
graph goes up and down.
Question: Those paths which are covered by heart

when connected to the mind or logic a distortion
occurs. Why?
Answer: True, heart and mind have different speeds.

Logic connects to wrong
Question: Why can’t a person do such kind of good

works that the rope does not entangle ever in ones
life? Travel on one path?
Answer: Try to unite khayal and Amal, and focus on the

Saheb e Khayal in ones Khayal, will happen through the
Saheb e Khayal. As discussed last week concentrating on
the surat and seerat both should be focused on, if unable
to concentrate on the surat then on seerat, eventually
the surat will be visible. Because both are in union, where
as it is there in us. That is why they are Murshid, where
there is no distance between there surat and seerat.
Question: Why is there is distortion later on, when in

the beginning everything happens with ease?
Answer: If one of a chistiya silsila goes to naqishbandya

will have a problem.
Question: In the time of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A
time there were a lot pious saints, now it is not so.
Why?
Answer: Twenty years ago, people said the same thing

that 20 years ago there were pious people but not after
20 years, we have heard there is no epoch that the saints
and pious people did not exist.
What we call hijrat is a hijrat of our Mizaj, so that we

expect Qurb without Qurbani. If we want Qurb, we have
to sacrifice our Mizaj. In effect righteous deed does not
constitute something according to our own desires. What
righteous deed is accepted by the Zaat, is the one which
brings a transformation and change. Getting Qurb and a
change. It is not working in a secular way, it is a system.
If establishing a system would be righteousness than the
whole western world be called muttaqeen for building and
having a welfare system. The rightness constitute in
following the commands of Allah, and not our own desires.
It appears one zaat is in the closeness of another Zaat.
‘One cannot reach near righteous deed until spend the
best of one possesses.’ The closeness of a zaat with a
Zaat. When there is a danger to a soul comes seldom,
before that is Maal, khayal , Mizaj A hadith of the
Prophet Sallall Alaihi Wassallam ‘ No one become a momin
until I am more closer than ones parents, brothers and
sisters and children.’
Question: Where do we start?

Answer: Starting from the point where we left, like in a
motorway, entering at the point where we exited. A
human knows that himself.
Question: Can we express our questions in words,

though we can arrange our questions in words but are
afraid of asking?
We need to express in words, and ask all questions, if we

don’t ask using words than we will not have an answer in
words, complicating further. So we can ask all type of
questions using all types of words, the theme of this
mehfil is to acquire clarity otherwise it becomes a social
gathering, this travel or path is based on clarity. There
can be two reasons for not asking all questions which
come to our minds, one being that in our heart we are not
willing to accept the answers, which could be against our
Khawaish (desires), the other being because of the Roab
e Jalal and Roab e Jamal of the teacher. Now the second
option or condition does not exist in this case, so it’s the
first one to be considered.
Question: How do we know a sure way if our deeds

are being accepted?
Answer: Yes when we get the opportunity to perform

another deed continuously as narrated by the rightly
guided, if we say a namaz and get another opportunity
that means our namaz is accepted. Also another test is
that we feel a Kaifiyaat ( inspiration), if there is no
feeling than its useless to wait for the results, that is
one should feel better, for without inspiration a deed is
like a mechanical act.
Once it was asked from Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A that
sometimes one is afraid to ask a question, to which he
replied this could be a sign of disrespect. In respect of
Sawal.
Question: Can one be Bebak?
Answer: It not permitted to be Gustakh, but to be Bebak

is permitted. There are two types of questions, in a
Bebak question a relationship is not broken, but in a
Gustakhana question, the relationship is broken.
Question: How do we behave when we go to Data

Darbar?
In respect of Darbar Sharif it is told by Hazrat Wasif

Ali Wasif R.A, when you go there do not look around.
What others are doing just do salam and come back.
Question: I have asked this question about 35 times

in the last 2 years, when going to data darbar can we
go on a Friday? Whatever activity goes around is
different from mine, I only do what we do on
Thursdays.
Answer: When going to haji sahib with the question of

Dua, with a question about Dua, he did the dua, the dua
got accepted, there the lesson of Manwait was finished,
did not go to unlock or development of the khayaal.
Neither are you attached to that Silsila, now it is a social
meeting. If there is a distortion, then gradually
withdraw.
Question: They have a different attitude to prayers.

Then even in Dua I have not gone in a long time.
Answer: If one goes in a circle and feels destruction,

then leave it, we are talking of principles not of events
and people, if I go into sociology will not be justified. So
gradually move away. Yes this happens if the frequency is
different then a distortion occurs in the Khayal. This is a
Karam too; detachment is also Bab e Karam. In more than
one class accepting more than one frequency, one cannot
get used to one frequency or track, becoming instead like
a commentator. The heart has a tendency to be on one
frequency.Since intelligent is seeing things as statistics
calculates the flow of water in floods, is like a fish in
Hazrat Moses time, when it sees Majma ul Bahrain(two
rivers combined) makes a tunnel and escapes. Like where
the Fana and Baqa have sangat(meets) where fani and
baqi meet. If we call Mizaj as Nafs, then it does not want
to stand if we realize Nafs is our enemy, the good part in
us should keep on doing there work.Even a thief comes
the security guards are still hired. When the birds nest
are scattered in a storm, they start working again to
collect barks to make a home.
Woh apne khooh na badlaan ga
Hum apni wazah kyon choraan.
Question: The environment very strongly affects our

personality. There is nafs or our personality one side,
we acquire the traits of our companions, and how do
we protect ourselves?
Answer: Nafs gets its entire vote from outside, so that

in the heart there is no democracy, nafs attacks us
through our desires wanting to find a justification, from
the environment. There is Bollywood and Hollywood on
one end and Mecca and Medina on the other. We can
select, in London to visit ajmeer sheriff and Lahore
sheriff, as some people call Lahore out of respect for
Data Darbar. In the internet we have different
communities; we can select one to our liking.
Question: If we do not have consistency and strong

will power in our personality but then comes in change.
How do we handle it?
Answer: Some is natural like a professional environment,

like a job or business, but that is from 9 to 5, an
environment should not go after 5. Some people are
working in a job, but also doing there own activity, so why
can’t spiritual people do the same. Instead from finding
the environment outside we should find it inside.
Question: How can we keep our heart in our control
and stay on path of remembrance of God?
Answer: The heart is not in our control but a human is in

the control of heart. The heart is in the control of Allah.
We can safely say to those people who are righteous to
follow their heart. The first prompting is from heart, the
second one is from intelligence. So follow the first as a
sign from the unseen.
Question: Can we go to the mazar sharif all the

times?
Answer: Yes
Question: Is the path of love through the heart?
Answer: Yes, the question would be how to keep the

heart alive. What are the methods of activating the
heart. Leaving all those activities which hinders . Keeping
the company of those who hearts are alive. This path is
lighted from lamp to lamp. When heart comes close to
another heart. So this is an activity from house to house.
Example if there is a saint, staying in another home, and
you want to bring him to yours, what we need is to visit
that home often.
Question: Whos heart is dead?
Answer: Heart is the place for Dilbar, whatever things

the Dilbar forbids should be left out from the heart.
Every Mohib knows what activity will please the Dilbar,
because the Dilbar is alive all the times, it will come in a
living heart and not a dead heart. Wasif sahib R.A says in
order to invite the Dilbar in our home we should keep only
those things that pleases Him. Taking out any statue,
book any painting not suitable, any CD, clean settings.
When we are doing a mehfil , so do the same for the
heart. At whatever level one is on. There is absolute
perfection an abstract thing, and a practical and realistic
approach.
Question: God has forbidden interest, though it is

followed in western countries in buying a home. What
can we do?
Answer: Why is interest forbidden, well there is nothing

to reflect on it as if it’s forbidden it means it is
forbidden, but on my personal level I was thinking one
day why is there such strong criticism. Came to
conclusion of a limited mind, the material things like
money have been grafted with non material things like
time.Time has a dignity, the destiny has to manifest in
time, for example I have put money in the bank , and it
will double in 5 years, besides that we cannot undermine
Qudrat, by thinking 1 lac will become 5 lac in 5 years, but
there are also cancer institute where 2.5 lac will be
spent. The more one is on Rizq hilal hardly have there
money spent in the wrong places. Unless the destiny
wants to test. Besides in interest there is factor of
exploitation, in religion the manifestation is of goodness.
The laws of nature for a nation, is for the betterment of
the society. Now we see Islamic banking, though the
profit to the bank is the same, but they claim leasing,
leasing articles and properties, there is a difference, if
you live in London transfer to an Islamic bank, and at
least do not take interest. In western countries if you
are in distress if you are forced to give take interest,
but do not take it.
Question: In London if you buy a home for one or two

bedroom for 1 or 2 lac pounds, most people give a
down payment of 15 or 20 percent. What can be
done?
Answer: If you ask me about my opinion, I would say do

not buy a home, where majboori starts gunah ends, if
there is free will then use Islamic law. Buy a home in
Johar Town.Convert those pounds and buy here, the rules
of the game are, at a young age one should see where one
is going to die, where we want to be our grave, may you
have a long life, should be near your home. The grave is
Miani sahib and the home is in New York. If life starts at
one point one should consider death, though death is twin
sister of life. As life starts so does the end. In planning
the life we should also plan the end.
Question: If we rent a property to a bank that is

wrong as all your income is from interest bearing
profit. How far is Islamic banking truly Islamic?
Answer: The path of when we go to shop claiming the
chicken is halal , we do not know the takbeer was
performed, we should at least go to a place where one is
claiming to be halal. If someone is claiming an interest
free we should join them, and get the blessings. I have
seen some of my friends who are bankers move from non
interest banking to interest free have felt better and
feel like earning a halal income. There scholars are trying
to study the Islamic laws pertaining to banking.
Question: Should we not help Islamic banks?
Answer: If we have the option to join, we should join

Islamic banking, they are growing, like Meezan bank has
maximum branches, the theme being there are not
renting out money, the claim they buy things and the bank
becomes the partner renting out and making money.
Though they have calclutate to make same profits as
other, though they have the right to make same margin
of profits as other, by doing such calculations, like they
don’t fine on the profit it one is late in paying, they have
separate department for fines, I have this experience
they have a welfare department. It all about Niyah, then
business comes in Sawab.
Question: Some retired people put in saving

certificates, as they think investing in business might
cause losses.
Answer: That is the weakness of Iman, if they invest in
business they might hire 20 people along with their
family members. In Quran God says Sadaqaat are
multiplied and Riba is disintegrated, interest is not a
business.
Question: If some one is running a family by national

saving certificates, is that Haram?
Answer: The family is not living by the bank, but by the

Almighty. Usually if a person retires at the age of 60
usually the family members, become quite grown up to
survive on their own.
Question: In Pakistan usually in joint family system

the elder contributes with the return from these
certificates. Supporting the family is that wrong?
Answer: I do not understand at 60 years of age, the joint

family is split into many families contributing. The
message as one gets old; one should invest in the
hereafter then in this world. If a head of the family is
bringing a family on saving certificates, then the younger
children are not liable, but this income in their blood
won’t be good. Their children will send their parents in
old homes. There was a person I know who opted for
Germany, in an interview said I have 3 children who have
sent me to an old home in Frankfurt. Their children do
not have time to give medicine to him.
Question: I have seen in Pakistan families have a head
who dictates, when he retires, if he has national
saving certificates, has children who are told of the
interest bearing account, has to bow to the head. Is
that an excuse?
Answer: The decision of the head is only an excuse, when

children marry at their own will but cannot stop sharing
their food. If the children see the head not matching the
Islamic tenants, should migrate. The children should
voice their opposition, when the Quran says do not
expect wrong commands of parents, but only do Ihsan. In
manner and in dealings.
Question: ‘Qalb e il Momin Arsha Allah’, When one

reaches the level of momin, do things keep on
illuminating like in Qalb e Majzoob?
Answer: This is not a physical idea, Quran says ‘First His

Arsh was on water’ and later ‘Suman taba al arsh’ the
tashkeel of arsh was from before later Suman taba . Not
that cleaning the Kalb(heart) would make it pure and be
the recipient of the Divine. Unless the Qalb of the momin
its gets like arsh and alam e bala, arsh is not in alam khalq
but in alam a bala, this is that Qalb in which the Mashiat
o Arada is manisfested in tasleem o raza, what I have
understood when a momin heart becomes Qalb e Momin,
and Qalb e saleem, on which amr and arada is manifested,
when commands are brought down. So mahlooq goes to
the King and ask what its command is. Might be they are
telling their about own station. Asking about mizaj e
shahana.
The terminology of Qalb should be more practical and

clear, like a khayal of a momin, to understand it better,
because khayal is also manifested from the qalb, is going
to be emitted from the qalb. Instead of getting into
history and geography of the Qalb, khayal is the
appropriate meaning.
Question:Is there a maqam e zaat of insaan?
The maqam of the zaat e insaan is not lamaqam though

insaan is in a makan, the maqam insaan is in lamqaam.
Every Sufia talk about maqam e insaan,
Khuda banda se khud poocha bata tere raza kya hai.
Question:
The lord has created everything for Himself. Insaan is a

tenant, when the tenant leaves he leaves with all his
belongings The wajud is the makan, where we live we are
not concerned with the building, we live in it, it is not our
representation. The lord has made it for Himself, insaan
become a qabz, the
landlord tells the tenant to vacate, and the tenant wishes

the landlord does not come to collect the rent. It’s made
for the Lord.
Question.: Do we have different faculties?

Answer:.He is Malak e Mulk, is our wajud outside that
Mulk. The tenant think it is his, in a nutshell what does a
man has to do, but to shift the paradigm, to recite the
Kalimah, menahi tu, not me but You. The relationship with
Him is of wazir and the King. In wahadat ul wajud the
meaning of kalimah is menahi tu.
Question: The other meaning is to reach oneself.
Answer: Leaving the home to its Owner.
Question: When a Sufi and saint go in halat e

muraqaba in alam e bedari, what kind of duration is
he in? Is it pure duration, what kind of time is that?
Answer: I think he dives in the vertical time from serial

time into universal time, where all the calendars of serial
time meet. I am talking about a theoretical thing but it
looks like.
Question: There are two events one which Dr Suhail

Umar narrates that when he took an American to
meet Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, after the audience
the American said this sahib while talking to us was
also reflecting another world. And secondly when an
acquaintance of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif Ali R.A met
him in his office, on putting a request before him,
resulted in a Voice of unprecedented strength. In
these two instances where these events happening in a
duration beyond serial time?.
Answer: Yes then in his maqan the La maqan is
manifested because he got out of his makan. It is said
that Zaat is in lamamaqaam, so in those who inner being
lamaqaamiat is manifested know in that place the Jalwa
of Zaat is manifested.
Question: If that person got out, how does he have

Idraak (knowledge) that this same Zaat?
Answer: Here it can be seen that the Zaat made

everything for its own pechaan (recognition). When a
person gets out of his bashari being he knows instantly
he was not the one, than who was That, when he sees his
own bashari identity he finds out the Other who Talked,
again it means the same that Zaat, has made
insaan(everything) for its Own recognition. It is not
possible for a ghair zaat to recognize the One, that Zaat
is lamaakan, one which recognizes finds himself.
Question: Is the insaan is made to recognize Him?
Answer: Yes no one recognize Him without His

permission. When one withdraws one gets nearer, once I
wrote for a book, ‘A faqir whole life is spent pulling
himself out of himself.’
Question: Then this body is sanctified.
Answer: That is why Sultan Bahu R.A said ‘ Haa tan rab
sacha da hujra’ , Yes then we can recognize the sanctity
role of Sharia, making this body purified by wudhu and
shower and saying Kalimah, shows what to eat, eat this
do not eat this, this wajud having transient role shows
the importance of Sharia, having a complete role with
Tasawwuf as a preface , we have a friend who once had a
trance of love once said,’Wo jane aur wo jane tu us ka
apna khel hai tu kyoon darmian mukalfat karaha hai.’ So
what he saw was himself.
Question:
Answer: The secretariat is one there cannot be two

prime minsters and two presidents, in one Aiwan e Sadr,
the establishment is the same with one as Hizb ullah and
the other as those belonging to Hizb e Shaitan. The
faculties of Kuffar are hizb e shiateen.
Question: How can we negate our self?
Answer: What we call taqarab does not mean to find

something but to lose something. Meaning to withdraw
from oneself. What Ghalib said take my divan for this
shair.
‘When you are with me there is no other’.
Question: This what we call as Apna aap, how long

does it remain Apna aap?
Answer: There is no such boundary like the India-

Pakistan boundary, like crossing the wagah border 10
feet each side, it is a gradual transition, like when we fly
in plane when the desert pass, gradually we the greenery
coming, not all of a sudden. We can saw we gradually grow
out from no more of us.
Question: We were talking about the Mizaj, whose

faculty is it?
Answer: It is tilt of the wajudi part, the bashari aspect,

the physical the shade or inertia, having genetic factors,
physical factor, a composition of many factors. Those
who express there Mizaj often also constitute pride. I
like this thing or I do not like that thing. ‘Apna mizaj ka
ja baja izhaar ghroor ke zumara me ata hai.’All this
syllabus of ikhlaqiaat and its postulate is meant to
conquer our Mizaj, we have a friend who said he learned a
lesson from her mother, she said people with great names
of sufia and aulia, the greatness constituted in there
negation, how much they had minuses with in them selves.
When we appreciate someone we are not appreciating the
bashari aspect, when we talk about a great Sufi we are
not remembering him, so there is no Shirk, shirk is
making a sha equal a Lasha.Potentially an insaan is not a
sha, but himself accorded that honor.
Question: What does Tazkia e Nafs or Tazkia e Qalb

means?
Answer: Tazkia e Qalb and Tazkia e Nafs means Tazkia e

Qalab, automatically having a tazkia of the outer shell,
when we have nafasat in our mizaj it will definitely
manifest outside. Although we live outside, infect our
inner self is reflected. Just as is our inner world so is our
outer self reflected. There is narration that once a
robber came to Ghaus e Pak, and became a qutb. As one
is cleaning ones inner self, so does our outer self is
reflected
department for fines, I have this experience they have a

welfare department. It all about Niyah, then business
comes in Sawab.

Idraak (knowledge) that this same Zaat.
Answer: Here it can seen that the Zaat made everything
for its own pechaan(recognition). When a person gets out
of his bashari being he knows instantly he was not the
one, than who was That, when he sees his own bashari
identity he finds out the Other who Talked, again it
means the same that Zaat, has made insaan(everything)
for its Own recognition. It is not possible for a ghair zaat
to recognize the One, that Zaat is lamaakan, one which
recognizes finds himself.
Question: The insaan is made to recognize Him.
Answer: Yes no one recognize Him without His

permission. When one withdraws one gets nearer, once I
wrote for a book, ‘A faqir whole life is spent pulling
himself out of himself.’
Question: Then this body is sanctified.
Answer: That is why Sultan Bahu R.A said ‘ Haa tan rab
sacha da hujra’ , Yes then we can recognize the sanctity
role of Sharia, making this body purified by wudhu and
shower and saying Kalimah, shows the
eat this do not eat this, this wajud having transient role
shows the importance of Sharia, having a complete role
with Tasawwuf as a preface , we have a friend who once
had a trance of love once said,’Wo jane aur wo jane tu us
ka apna khel hai tu kyoon darmian mukalfat karaha hai.’
So what he saw was himself.

Question:
Answer: The secretariat is one there cannot be two

prime minsters and two presidents, in one Aiwan e Sadr,
the establishment is the same with one as Hizb ullah and
the other as those belonging to Hizb e Shaitan. The
faculties of Kuffar are hizb e shiateen.
Question: How can we negate our self?
Answer: What we call taqarab does not mean to find

something but to lose something. Meaning to withdraw
from oneself. What Ghalib said take my divan for this
shair.
‘When you are with me there is no other’.
Question: This what we call as Apna aap, how long

does it remain Apna aap?
Answer: There is no such boundary like the India-

Pakistan boundary, like crossing the wagah border 10
feet each side, it is a gradual transition, like when we fly
in plane when the desert pass, gradually we the greenery
coming, not all of a sudden. We can saw we gradually grow
out from no more of us.
Question: We were talking about the Mizaj, whose

faculty is it?
Answer: It is tilt of the wajudi part, the bashari aspect,

the physical the shade or inertia, having genetic factors,
physical factor, a composition of many factors. Those
who express there Mizaj often also constitute pride. I
like this thing or I do not like that thing. ‘Apna mizaj ka
ja baja izhaar ghroor ke zumara me ata hai.’All this
syllabus of ikhlaqiaat and its postulate is meant to
conquer our Mizaj, we have a friend who said he learned a
lesson from her mother, she said people with great names
of sufia and aulia, the greatness constituted in there
negation, how much they had minuses with in them selves.
When we appreciate someone we are not appreciating the
bashari aspect, when we talk about a great Sufi we are
not remembering him, so there is no Shirk, shirk is
making a sha equal a Lasha.Potentially an insaan is not a
sha, but himself accorded that honor.
Question: What does Tazkia e Nafs or Tazkia e Qalb

means?
Answer: Tazkia e Qalb and Tazkia e Nafs means Tazkia e

Qalab, automatically having a tazkia of the outer shell,
when we nafasat in our mizaj it will definitely manifest
outside. Although we live outside, infect our inner self is
reflected. Just as is our inner world so is our outer self
reflected.
Question: As one is cleaning ones inner self so does

our outer self is reflected, there is narration that
once a robber came to Ghaus e Pak, and became a
qutb.
Answer: Answer: Actually this has been discussed before
in the mehfil of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasil R.A, that the
person was actually not a robber, but a Qutb who was
afraid to face the Ghous of his time, because roab e jalal
who knew what Qutb Al Iktab meant, those who are in
the domain of zahir do not understand, like when Baba
fareed R.A came to Lahore , he stayed a mile from the
darbar. One fine morning this event happened, is actually
there is a activity in the batin. It is manifested before
the public at a certain moment. Like an example of a
person who is listening to the Quran being recited fell
for it, actually he must have read a lot of Quran. A
person just removes his outer garment, so the robber
who came was actually a saint, on duty probably,
appearing to be in a non acceptable position. Like when
there was a group of Sufia on the way to Hajj met a gang
of highway robbers, and the their leader prescribed
capital punishment for the head of the Sufia, as we are
going to hajj, to that the leader of robbers said your
leader is not a true Sufi, and how can he lead you. Our
professions are our weakness it is not the true identity,
all of sudden is only the marzoob, who is not further
explained, a Qutb is a coronation, thus going in the house
of Ghous e Pak is not easy.
That was a big locker, full of wealth they got it. For the
zahir it looked like a robber came to rob.
Question: Sometimes a negative feeling overcomes of
not practicing enough, what can be done?
Answer: There is paradox when a negative feeling comes,

what we have heard we cannot practice enough. When
religious education is given people say we cannot practice
enough to listen to more, we should accommodate the
knife, until it becomes a part, sometimes a thought so
overtakes that one is forced to practice and believe, like
when we hear the Azan a thought seizes us to pray .
Admitting our mistakes we should continue our practices.
Do not say with what face I should go his Home, do not
worry go with whatever face you have. Sometimes we
think we have not reached that level of piety to go to
hajj, the other option is to present to yourself. Like we
have come to your Home on our own so forgive us. Come in
His presence with a petition begging for mercy. Instead
of being a fugitive, there are two problems here, one is
that we have confidence on the Amal, will go after
sometime and ask for the pardon, in which case depending
on the Amal, the other is he does not depend and believe
on the faculty of forgiveness.

Question:- I have a question in my mind , I have
read a lot about it, asked many people this question,
which is why has the Khalaqa Kainat (Creator of the
Universe) arranged and created this whole
Nizaam(system), a question I have asked many and
usually get a traditional answer.
relationship between the Khaliq(Creator) and the
Makhlooq(created), and the other being a secular
was Insaan(human).


that exists),

blood).
perspective, how did I arrive here, what is the
meaning of my being here, question is the same, the
question is being asked more decently , if we get answer
to this question we get answer to the others, in Quran it
says ‘Do not ask, but instead you will be asked’ I usually
ponder what will be asked of us, like did you read the
Quran, and said your namaz, but another question can
also be asked in this context is , did you in this vast world
where from besides Milton and Archimedes to Abu Ali
Sina, Rumi and Razi pondered on at their levels, did you
also try to discover yourself, who are you ?, where did
you come from?, what is your purpose?, if we see a graph
paper, and the four axis go into infinity. When we draw
will be hazardous for the bank. So even to find the
Maqsad (purpose) you have to become a part of this
Nizam, those people who ponder on how the Creator
created this vast Nizam stretching into billion of years,
the Khaliq consciously not academically but ilmi and
yourself finding a reference point in your own self
then all the drawings and maps will manifest on the
our selves and not to tell anyone else then we will see we

our own book.
came when having read everything , so it was a his Ijaz
that all that was written , the heart and mind came
together , otherwise one says I am listening and this is
just one, of the many explanations this did not happen.
So this is the way of cleaning the slate, cleaning the slate
is a spiritual level and journey of all spiritual matters and
tasks start through Tasleem, bypassing the contents of
the Mind and the bypassing the mind is accepting
Tasleem. If we reflect on how big the Haqiqat are the
Angels, reward and punishment, Allah Tala which do not
come in our experience, but as soon we come into
Tasleem , we become of those Haqaiq, saying salaam to
the angels and getting wa alikum salaam. The whole Ijaz
is of Tasleem, getting in the domain of Hadood e
Haraam, when those who have not accepted find a board,
that says those not in Tasleem go this way, only those
with Tasleem go this way as the Hadood e Haraam has
come when we go to umra there is a board, when coming
into Muslim town about 35 miles ahead is a board the
rest are sent in the bypass, its all a story of Tasleem ,
the cleaning of the slate is smaller event , Tasleem does
big events, so cleaning the slate is matter of Tasleem
with the brush of tasleem, eroding all other brushes, as
the saying goes, the pen was given , giving us permission
to write, whatever one want to write, example when we
come to a physician carrying many files, the physician
prescribes a certain medicine knowing what medicine to
prescribe , like in a spiritual prescription too we work in a
hit and trial method, going to different doctors, and also
having our own prescription, so Taslim makes one
What is the relationship between Tasleem and
Mohabbat is tasleem possible without Mohabbat?
Answer: Yes they say Tasleem is not possible without
Mohabbat. There is a proof in Quran, ‘We said to
heavens and the earth to come into obedience’, this is the
prize, toon has a rank, ‘They come to you and say we
believed, do not say we believed say we accepted Islam,
then you might get Iman’, as its said about namaz even
when one does not experience a feeling in namaz to still
pray, as its obligatory while feeling is not obligatory. For
example in a mehfil of a saint, if things go by merit , then
hardly any one qualifies, but those who come in Tasleem
qualify and join, like for a six grader we make them learn
math tables not be used later on, so doctors have to
learn all the specialties, even if not using them later.
They could be working in CMH, still have to learn all to
become a part of that system maybe some having Nishan
e Haider could be doing Tuun. Tuun of Tasleem is with
Mohabbat, which might not be there but only being in the
sangaat could lead to Tasleem, one is associated with the
word love. In higher levels tasleem and mohabbat do
unite.
Question: Prophet Sallallalahu Alaihi Wassallam is the
Wajah e Taqleeq Kainaat and then a hadith e Quddusi
narrates about Allah Subanhu, as declaring’ I was a
hidden treasure to be discovered’ how do we
understand the two hadith?
Answer: The answer to kyon is not given in the creation
of heavens and the earth. There is Hadith e Qudussi, in
human history what are the reasons of creation of
Universe, is Allah Subhanhu say’ I was a hidden treasure
and wanted to be known’ and the other Hadith says ‘
Awala makhalqa nuri’ ‘ God created my nur first’ if we
consider these two hadith we understand how the hidden
treasure was discovered and unraveled in cave of Hira.
As said treasures are found in caves. The Saudi friend’s
debate how do you say the cause of creation was the
Prophet Mohammad Sallallalahu Alahi Wassallam, first
Hazrat Adam pbuh, Nuh alai saallam and there were a
hundred and twenty four thousand , here we mention a
masnawi of Maulana Rum said, That the tree of kainaat,
whatever the seed we plant and the tree grows,
whatever seed we planted we get it at the end, so when
the universe was created, the seed came at the end,
after the tree was filled with leaves and , so the seed
and fruit which was the reason of the creation of the
tree of creation came last ,alam amr and alam khlaaq
are Mirrror image of each other, whatever is extreme
right on one side is extreme left on the other, first one
came the last. This treasure is increased through Insaan
, why do you call Hazrat Ali Hajveri as Gaang e bakash,
because he is delivering, Gaang e nuri marifaat e
Muhammadi.
Question: What is shirk?
Answer: Our Prophet derives everything from the Quran,
shirk is not who’s work is not complete, but bring to
attention the common name, whatever message the
Maqkhlooq got from is from the Prophet Mohammad
Sallallalahu Alahi Wassallam otherwise the Maqkhlooq has
no reliable source. Those who claimed in history of any
relationship were not justified, even to their own claim,
not even own their mark. But the message to the Prophet
was delivered generation after generation is increasing
and increasing. Marifat elahi is being constantly explained
through Sufia karam , this work is in progress, as the
karamat e aulia are actually the continuity of the
mujazaat e nabi.
Question: How we define ‘To Be Known’?

Answer: its meaning is for God to be known to Himself,
not that the Maklooq recognizes, the Sufia karam tell us
before God had no Surat, I believe personally only the
need is of Huba e Rasool, because Mohabbat itself leads
to Marifaat, what we call Mariffat is of love, that of laila
was with majnoon, the rest will write research papers.
Jane tera naqsh e kadam mela tere jamal meen dhall gaya.
Apne basheri rasta ko tarq karta hoe tere rahoon meen
besaya gaya.
All prayers are for Qurbat, not for pleasure but for
Suhbaat, the meaning of Roza is to tie your self.
Tera khayal na hota mere namaaz ka imam. As said by
Iqbal.
Tera khayal be
So mohabbat is first and amaal are afterward , because
if amal advance by themselves can lead to munafqat, the
imamat of amal is mohabbat, the deliverance of an insaan
is through khayal, not amal the best khayal is to
remember the beloved, Mohabbat means to leave, there
other definitions too, but one definition is to think about
the beloved.
Question: Is the discovery of self the discovery of
God?
Answer: Yes this is so; yes it is a shortcut of saying that,
for if we go step by step goes into detail. Self discovery
is like as discussed before , if a drop in the ocean
discovers itself its mahiat that is qualitatively not
quantity wise, will find some properties of the Qulzam
not all.
Question: As you said about Khayal and fikr.
Anwer: The cleaning of the slate is in reference to
Afkaar, to hold khayal is not easy is a hard task , to clean
the slate is about afkaar, not khayal which is a
frequency between the set and the server, the frequency
at which the transmission is made, from the server from
which the whole mehfil is transmitted.
Answer: What is the qualitative difference in the
nature of the questions asked before and after
Tasleem?
Questions: The questions before Tasleem are of
different nature are zamini sawal(earth bound) of
tashkeek, which change after catching the train of
Tasleem, then the nature of questions change, like when
we come in the compartment of tasleem, then we ask
questions like how far is the Manzil ?, what is the next
station ? at what speed are we going?, when will we reach
the Manzil?, until we buy the ticket of the train of
Tasleem, we keep on asking question like whether train
goes or not some say it goes , the journey of questions
keeps on going, the question of Tasleem are different
from those of tahqiq.
Question: There is a lot of Sakuun(contentment) in
the questions of tasleem.
Answer: Yes there is much difference, in the questions
of tahqiq there is a danger of breaking the relationship,
while in the question of tasleem the relations become
nearer and stronger. We are importing our Qalbi kafiaat
with our danish. The column which holds the building
cementing the two. Hazrat Ibrahim A.S in his dialogue
with God, asked how do you resurrect the dead, to which
he was asked don’t you believe, he replied yes I do but to
enhance my faith, to satisfy my Qalb. Giving support of
the column even if yaqin is displaced.
Question: Do even after tasleem, we still face the
questions of Tashqeeq?
Answer: An important question and the answer is also
very important, there is the Manzil, and some people love
the manzil , and some love the mehboob of the manzil.
Does doubt still comes after acceptance, some people
love the manzil and some have mehboob as the manzil.
Question: Is safar the manzil?
Answer: If we are on the right track then manzil is at
every step, but that is a different chapter, the other is
if two people are travelling together and get to a place,
they reach together the first peak and then plan for the
next peak, after covering some peaks, some will say we
have not reached the next peak, but there will be those
who’s only wish will their journey and say leave the peaks
aside, and there tasleem will never be in tashqeeq.
Question is important.
Answer: On taqdeer and tadbir we can read many poems,

and read about jabri and qadri, the reality is yaqin and
tashqeeq is the prerogative of a human, depends on the
human,the decision is made by a human, yaqin can be
called as love, but if tashqeeq is not akthiairi and is
jabri , then the whole show ends, then why would we
blame a kafir, the whole shariat, reward and punishment ,
amaal and mizaan , jannat and dozakh, all things come in
tashqeeq. All things if delivered to taqdeer, then on the
doraha of tashqeeq and tadbir lies the strength and
human weakness to chose.
Question: Is tashqeeq a human weakness or gunah ?
Answer: Let shaqq (doubt) come, and pass through the

pressing machine, the juice will be separated from the
rest. ‘When shaaq is removed it becomes an asset of
yaqin.’
A child makes a drawing, and practice, keep on practicing
practice makes a man perfect, tahqeeq and gunah is the
chapter of the maulvi, , the base and journey of truth is
asking questions, a sufi never says do not ask this
question, to them all people went, the dehrya, the
Wahhabi, everyone. So if we think asking a question is
wrong, it is invalid ask as many questions you want. Those
who have a factious building will be afraid, if going
further it will be bedaat and going back will be shirt,
stopping a rational person from reflecting, Quran is full
of tafakaar, to think, tafkaar is silent zikar, and zikar is
the talking fikar. Inkaar, ikraar ke halaat ka naam hai,
the meaning of kufar is to veil, to hide, you must unveil
the veiled. The journey to kaaba tulaa is the unveil
desire, of the nura e iman injected while performing
Umra. After that this kafiaat will be stopped if one
thinks whether I am a follower, until there is a distance
one keeps on thinking but stops when we come in front.
The tashqeeq is removed by mushaid.
Question: Does reading more carry more
responsibility?
Answer: That is wrong, to think the more religious
knowledge we have will have more responsibility, is
incorrect, when we are checking the internet, reading
philosophy but not the translation of the Quran. How to
do a Phd. But reading the translation of Quran is the only
thing left. One of our friends a teacher used to say that
he had a principal, wherever he went he used to find
people who liked research and reading, used to give them
a scholarship and send them away. So that no will be
there to ask questions and nor will have the trouble to
answer. A hadith e pak says, ‘One moment of reflection
is better than a hundred years of ibadaat’. Tafaqar is a
very valuable thing.
When we are in the state of tashqeeq we are
disconnected from the reality, when we are in tasleem we
get connected, what Mushaida does is to create a state
of Unison, creating synchronization with the Ultimate
reality, tashqeeq disconnects, this contact and dis
contact usually keeps on going, is called music periodically
contacting and dis contacting, neither the liking of
mushaida nor the state of tashqeeq, the journey of
musafir is to keep on going, whether in mushaida or in
tashqeeq , whether in contact or otherwise . When a
beloved finds out the door is closed still keep on moving,
a true lover will keep on traveling, even when all the doors
are closed, waiting for them to open.
Chal hoon gurdwara maal, shaair se de saraa dewaa bujj
gayaa.
Question: How can we live amiably?
Answer: If insaan learns to live with other Insaan is

saved from a lot of troubles, example shah sahib has
a car, if I compromise and go with shah sahib, I will
save, when an insaan does not depend, has become
short tempered, then one feels the shortage of
money, in older times, a lot of family used to live
together, the cousin was considered as an insult, not
using the term brother, a few people used to earn
and a lot of them lived a free life. We have sharing
our family and started to feel isolated. We have to
pass through a secular and mechanical life; we take
loan, but do not want to live close. The older brother
does not share with the younger brother, so the
younger brother has to take a loan from the bank.
Let me say, if we live close we do not have to worry
about the currency. The bread and better of
capitalism is selfishness.
Question: Did they not create goodness by technology

and what are side effects of capitalism how was
system different from the west?
Answer: The west having the codes or system, whether

through Quran or Muslim scholars,or their own
philosophy, whatever postulate they got they
worked sincerely on them, there system is
khushaal, but their individual is not khushaal, there
is suffocation. If you go the west then your whole
family should be there, if we do not have job here
you do not worry, but over there if you do not have
hundred dollars you will be thinking about the bills,
falaah is individual , khushaali is at a collective
level, if I have a building outside and I am not
happy, when you started talking about
tahqiq(research) and Tashkeer e Kainaat is a
journey of an individual not of the community,
talking about east and west, the majority from the
east have doubts about there traditions, are they
reliable to be followed, when its stamped from
outside we readily accept it, when Hakim Saeed
gives a medicine we doubt, but coming from the
royal college we are elated. Another important
thing is those of the west, respected there sages
and the learned. The table of Shakespeare is still
kept as a souvenir, on the other hand we have been
in the grip of shirk and bedaat, on the other hand
we sold those of our learned and the scholars.
The spiritual beating we got, ignoring our scholars and
their assets, their books landed us in trouble
while the west did not ignore their guides.
Insaan whatever he is a believer a non believer ,
human as a human, as example to understand
there is another god in another universe, and
ask God what is your masterpiece, will be an
Insaan(human being), if we also devote to a
system where the human being will be elevated
and respected, we will have Falaah, from
Khutaba Hajat ul Widah, Europe and America
has recently given emancipation to the blacks
only lately the message was no white has
superiority over black, no insider has
superiority over outsider, the life of Muslim
and his respect is more the respect of Khana
Kaaba. The respect showed by Islam towards a
human is unparalleled, not to run in namaz to
meet someone. The kings have ruined the
system have bulldozed the message for
personal gains.
Question: You have very excellently described is indeed
perfect the
Answer: Describing does not solve the problem, inqilaab

the revolution was when the slave and master
prayed together 1400 years ago, a Yemeni king
had slapped a baadhu, for accidently putting
his feet on his robe, when the case went to
Hazrat Umar Farooq R.A, told the King
according to Islamic justice, to either get a
slap or ask for forgiveness from the baadhu, to
which the king answered he will think, and fled
at night saving himself from disgrace, this was
the revolution.
Question: Is the welfare system, a complete system?
Answer: Those whose home contains guidance the

punishment will be double. In Scandinavian
countries the law of Umar R.A is copied, that
was the objection of the kuffar mecca that you
are making our slaves to sit with us. In the
revolution of France, the people came to know
after 1200 years when the deen had already
made it known. The respect of a human is so
high that one finds God, to make a welfare
system is not that big thing as compared, it is
not changing the nizam, because we have many
jammat e islami only portraying a good system,
which is just a fringe benefit, like besides
getting salary. The 6686 ayah on the welfare
system is just a part the real is when an
individual achieves perfection through tafakuur
and tazakurun and Ulul Albab, a one to one
game. When it was said come to the good
system, people objected on the socialist also
possessing a nizam without religion. The
Scandinavian countries having also a welfare
system, without kalima, why you say we come to
deen and then form a community, having thesis.
Developing an antithesis. When the ten of us
are sitting in this room can plan to have this
room decorated together, paint here put a tube
light there, we are trying to change a system
without first having an individual changed.
Beating the system without changing the
individual, talking of nafaz without nafooz,
when we hire a righteous person in a
department, the whole department will be
cleansed, as Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, said
‘Those countries flourish where the head of
departments are righteous’. In the passport
department one person came DIG Zulfiqar
Cheema having a good reputation, has changed
the system otherwise the urgent passports
were issued in six months, we do not provide
food for the hungry and try to cut hands of the
thief as in the Islamic history when there was a
famine the sharia was not implemented. This is
called neem hakimi, the quack will not find the
root cause, while a doctor will diagnose and cure
the root cause.
Question: Some people who become mechanical do not

become helpful for others, but some believe
one has to be mechanical to survive what is
the right way?
Answer: Those who become dependent on the mechanical

aspect of the Nizam even dependent on the
watch, there was professor who had an anxiety
disorder, to do every thing perfectly, I told him
to reduce his punctuality which is not good from
a mechanical point, as it is not very good for the
body makes you tense. So those dependent on
the Nizam , who are mechanical then they wont
be very helpful. Like when I practices I do not
say, I am closing my clinic after 10:15 , and
come after 6pm, will not take any more
patients, will not be good. Which is due to mine
being non mechanical, some earn an amount,
then say they will save some, and then and save
so much percent. If a person takes ones
economic life to the banks, then he wont have a
penny left to pay to the poor, when I am driving
an old car and then finds myself wanting a new
one, I will go to the bank and get the loan, and
keep on paying the loan off, not able to pay the
poor, the more we are able to get out of this
mechanical life, the more we will be able to
bring out others from this mechanical life, the
more spiritual life we will adopt the more we
will come out of the mechanical life. Mechanical
life is a wheel of jabr(compulsion), morning
follows the evening, while earning millions have
hardly time for helping others. There are
definite exceptions. Loss of working hours is
mentioned in the west, contributing to loss of
monetary hours, not making humans but horse
of race courses.
Questions: What do you say about our systems in the

east and their faults?
Answer: This crisis is not new, as Allama Iqbal pointed
out; we are giving the wrong message to our
children. Hazrat Wasif R.A pointing to the sad
story in the east, where the khanqai nizam is
dominating our society, in contrast to the west
where the conquest of the universe, is being
achieved. The debilitating situation in the east,
where the pir takes advantages of the mureed.
What is the true litmus test of the
truthfulness of a person is whether he is
talking help or helping others. In the example
of the king of Balk Hazrat Ibrahim R.A when
he settled in the Kaba, and started having
followers, he used to tell them from now on, I
will feed you, and what he did to earn was go to
the jungle and collect wood.
Question: Is there any need of a Pir today?

Answer: If by Pir we mean a mentor and a guide is
necessary, you have not to take a mentor but
the mentor has to take and guide you, a real
mentor guides other, who understand the
program and follows the program, a true Pir is
in the need of true followers, who can
understand the program him too. The relation
between a Pir and a Mureed is from the
standpoint of understanding is of fikar e
tazkia, and fikar e rububiat, like in any branch
of knowledge we need a teacher, as in any other
department to get knowledge , so too for
sahibane fikr need a mentor, do not get into
names there is a confusion in names, call them
ustad, mentor, guide, pir, murshid, this is a
relation between talib and matloob, if it is
without zahir dari, it is strong, and if this
relationship is based on zahir dari it becomes
weak. Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A used to
mention in spite of the breakup of the society
the voice of Haq has always been heard, even
the wrong doers know the wearing this mantle
would make them appear as pious. Now days
there is so much confusion so leave the rest and
try to make your own center strong, do not look
around, if there is something wrong going
around, like a dance, circus do not look there,
just salaam and come back. What is the
question? What have we to do with the Gadi
Nasheen?
Question: In all the happenings around we do not see
any quality?
Answer: Why do you have anything with these people,

though we respect them out of their relation
with the saint, and not because of them, just go
there and come back after paying your respect.
Question: There are like a bazaar, with different

shops everywhere, what do we do? They are
sitting six months each, not spreading any
truth.
Answer: When there is the progeny at the sites, like

Golra Sharif, we have been guided by Hazrat
Wasif Ali Wasif R.A as in Kiran Kiran Suraj ,
Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A said if the
Prophets Nubawat was not inherited, how could
the waliayat of a saint be inherited, and also
stating that the concept of seat hood in
tasawwuf is liable to reflection. So we are
given a guideline, as we have seen the real
Alhamad u lillah, he is outside of tradition and
of protocols, dress and maneuvers , this is a
journey of khayal, so were ever we think this
khayal can be lighted from the lamp, we should
follow it. We should only worry about our own
khayal, we should have respect for the progeny,
as they might change any time. But do not give
your hands in their hand. The good darbars, like
Golra sheriff, Khawaja Ghulam Fared R.A ,
where later on there was dissent, among the
progenies. Care about your own khayal and not
worry about others. If we are in the journey
and in trance then everything is fine, as
narrated by Hazrat WasifAli Wasif R.A,in
Kiran Kiran Surag ‘If springs come and every
cow becomes fat and not ours what would be
the benefit to us.’
Question: In the beginning those who deserved were

elected from outside and the deserving in the
family too, why is that no more?
Answer: This concept that the son of hakem sahib would
at least be able to make the covering of the
medicine, but people come for medicine and not
for the coverings. For a true and faithful the
guidelines are given from somewhere, this
universe has been so constructed that everyone
gets the rububiat, the biggest thing is that
those deserving faith will get faith and those
seeking evil will get evil.
Kainait talib aur matloob ke dermayaan misaal aik
keshkul ke hai.
Who ever wants will get his desire fulfilled, nazar and
manzar are part and parcel as two sides of a
coin, not separate, the maqamaat baqa ke
manazar will get baqa, like in a match we have
to have the spectators, the match is going on,
even being a spectator is a worthy .Nazar and
nazeer together form a manzar(scene), the
nazeer also means andaza nazer.
Question: But the nazar will get the reward, how he

plays depends.
Answer: This example is to understand, otherwise we get
into logic. The batini examples have to be given
in the zahir, to discern as otherwise out of
compulsion. The rational approach has a
weakness, to occupy illegally without
understanding its limitations. Aql when ever it
journeys will be illegally controlling things
outside its domains. Khaish (desire) whoever
rational will interfere in the affairs of the
Universe. The symphony of this universe, the
events happening under this symphony when
approached rationally truncates the Real. Doing
research on this symphony by analyzes derides
us from the whole, who made this symphony,
where did the notes comes from, listening to
music is something different, but if we start to
research it who wrote it, where did it come
from is another discipline. Like while checking
the internet the cursor comes across.
Researching a song of Nur Jehan will unable us
to listen to the song. To listen to the symphony
we have to disable the filter of analyzes.
Question: How can we understand the exegesis of the

Quran to our satisfaction as explained from
different points of views by numerous
translations?
Answer: As written by Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A
‘To understand and write the exegesis of the
Ilhami kalam has to be revealed.’ needs a
Rumi R.A as revealed on his heart in the form
of a Masnawi, and an Iqbal R.A, when Bala e
Gabriel was recited in the form of higher
poetry , otherwise everyone will have their own
tafaseer and point of view, the Sufis who wrote
the tafaseer never mentioned or claimed as
such only later on people thought so. As Iqbal
R.A said once ‘Oh God if what I have written is
not correct do not give me guidance’. Like the
poems of Iqbal R.A when sung make a person
say namaz, like for the dreams we cannot
discern rationally, we seek such and such person
having a revealed knowledge of decoding, when
the dreams have such am importance, what
about a revealed book. So mantiq and dalil is
not accepted here, another way of
understanding this point is keep all the
tafaseers on one side, when Who revealed is
Here, on whom it was revealed is here, and for
whom it was revealed are here, read without a
tafaseer, so that the understanding which will
be revealed will be one for you. Once a pious
man said I have four tafaseers , and I read
them one by one, so I asked him how do you
know which one to follow.
Read like a column, for Quran e Pak there are seven grid,
from mutual understanding , so whichever grid
we are standing start there the next grid will
open up. This is the kalam of the Creator. Once
Allama Iqbal R.A was asked by an English
gentleman, when Newtonian physics ruled and
atheism prevailed, when the one talking about
particles was accepted and those talking about
waves was not accorded acceptance. Dr Iqbal do
you believe only the meanings of the Quran
were revealed, or the whole words? To which he
replied when on me the whole poems are
revealed including the words. Not that a
thought (khayaal) comes first and then I try to
find the words, if a person like me having the
poem revealed as a whole, then what to talk
about the Quran. Because if we consider only
the meanings then the status of the Quran is
put in abeyance. Then the objection can be
raised that the khayaal comes over saints and
poets too will reduce the legal importance. If
you want to read the exegeses, then read the
tafseer of Baba Nur Wala R.A who was first
recited a verse by the mureeds , as he could
not read and write then narrated the tafseer
Fazli verbatim, so read tafseer a Fazli if you
want a spiritual rendering of Quran e Pak. Who
once said what kind of tafseer is that you have
designed maps and related geography in the
story of Moses and Pharaoh, the tafseer is
Pharaoh is the one who is full of his desires, and
immersed in the river of desires in which he
ultimately drowns. How Pharaoniat drowns in
the river of its desires and pride. The moral of
the lesson should be there, otherwise becomes
a book of history, those events that have
passed; now we need to draw lessons till the
kaymaat from them.
Question: Can we read the Quran while lying down?

Answer: We should keep the decorum, for otherwise if
we do not respect will loose the meanings. If we
want to hear then it is fine. The people of gulf
read the Kalam e Pak like an ordinary book,
storing it in the same column as the rest,
without respecting it. Do not keep in the same
column as the rest of the books even religious,
the Quran e Pak has a preference over all other
books, as like Khuda e Zul Jilal has over the
whole of His creation, a mustanad hadith(A
solid saying of the Prophet, May peace and
blessing of Allah Almighty be upon him).
Question: What is the philosophy of Namaz?

Answer: The concept of Namaz is to leave the ways of
evil, otherwise it has no meanings. Forgetting
the last day, the day of judgment, not
considering the difference between right and
wrong, not feeding the poor, stopping others
from feeding, telling people to stop feeding, for
feeding is a sacred task, the maskeen who
cannot say he wants food, not a beggars, the
system of langar in a spiritual system and in
tassawwuf is against the capitalist way, if a
westerner comes to data darbar and see the
food being distributed will be bewildered. And
those showing off, the munafaqoon, there
masjid zarar was ordered to be destroyed.
Going in the presence of the Prophet
Sallalallahu Alahi Wassallam, the other point is
not giving and sharing with the needy, not
facilitating each other, for example we should
share with each other things of daily use,
example being the charger or the phone, or the
car in trying to make the life of our fellowman
easy. Those who are just praying namaaz and do
not taking care of the needy. Fazail are not in
namaaz but in ammal and khayaal. Fazal is the
intiha of khyaal and the fazail are in ammal.
These are the few important points, in all
ibadaat, the end is Qurbaat Illalahe, to find
Qurbat and the root is Medina, if the goal for
ibaadat is denied then fazail of ammal are
confusing, producing a pride on ammal and not
on Fazal.
‘Happiness is in the naseeb of shukar guzaar, the
corollary of shukar guzaar is to remain
contended and be glad’.
Question: How do we make our ammal pakezza?

Answer: Like you asked how the khayaal becomes
concrete, does not wander becoming sold,
otherwise in a liquid state it will most likely
deviate, it is not a mathematical question
having a mathematical answer, there is no
answer, there is no theory, it is an experience
by doing, like driving a bicycle is by doing, by
practicing it by falling and then standing up
again until one gets to know, it is project of life
for the whole life, a whole book, becoming Qaim
is the willaayat. Those whom we call wali are
the ones who are able to maintain there
khayaal. The answer to your question in your
own words on how khayaal can be established is.
’ The way the khayaal is established is where
the Qaim Maqam of the khayaal resides’. If you
discover the Qaim Maqaam of a khayaal , then
reside your khayaal there.
Mehfil with Dr Azhar Waheed Saheb dated 29-6-

2012.
Question: How to concentrate and stabilize ones

thoughts, I am talking about myself how do we make
our thoughts (khayal) pious and have stability, is there
a method, how we can make them pious is there a
prescription?
Answer: The scene (manzar) or scenes (manazar) have a
very important role in rearranging our thoughts (khayal),
for example we keep watching a TV channel depicting the
khana kaaba, we will dream at night about it. Those who
visit the saints and go to khana kaaba, or go for umra,
and hajj, would too often when closing their eyes, see
those scenes vividly. A scene affects us and our minds,
when we see a scene even which we do not like, still
affects our mind. If we see a scene outside, and then go
to pray we still might be feeling and thinking about it.
The saints say that the company of like minded ( Sangaat
)will keep our thoughts concentrated and stable. The
company (Sangaat )can be of like minded , of having
similar thoughts (khayal), of places representing those
pious thoughts, of friends, like sometimes hearing a
religious hymn( qawali )representing symbolically of the
thought (khayal) brings stability. The scenes, the sounds,
and the people when filtered can be seen to teach us a
lesson, which being that their company is of no use or any
of their other activities, as they are running contrary to
your thoughts. Those who do not respect your company in
your thought(khayal), why should you care about there
activities, example while working in an office there are
some people close to you, and some have only a formal
relation with you, those having a formal relation do not
affect your thoughts(khayal). An easy way to arrange our
thoughts is the need to define our priority, only
prioritizing those who are close to you in your thoughts,
what is the definition of concentration, an easy definition
would be a concentration and a synthesis of where the
thought (khayal), mind, the heart, and wajud all come
together at one point, where you are totally
concentrating with the presence of both your heart and
mind. Where your mind is your heart should be and visa
versa, another dimension of concentration would be that
the words we are expressing, we should try to come
closer to the meaning of these words. In kasfh ul
mahjoob in the definition of a fakir defining from a quote
of a saint, quoting that a fakir or dervish is one whose
sight is in the direction of his journey, or whose journey
is in the direction of his sight. How do we achieve it is by
guarding our thought(Qol), what does guarding means,
one who hears a good thought or having a good thought,
should bring it into practice. As the saints say, in there
books, and our guides too quoting from there books. To
be protective of our heart( dil ka pahra) means a desire
from an alien should not be allowed in. Since the practical
meaning considering the old terminology used here of
darban, dil ka pahra, is too hard for the new generation
to understand, actually means whenever an alien idea or a
new thought is received which tries to expels us out from
our right thoughts should be given a shut up call, and that
thought which is bringing us closer should be given
importance, the mind should not be a clutter and
collection of confused ideas and irrelevant thoughts, do
not make It a junkyard , rather keep it like a drawing
room where everything is arranged in perfect order, like
the sofa, the carpet , side table, etc are arranged , we
should make an effort to keep our heart and mind
organized, a new thought should be settled down
immediately , getting a proof , either for or against it by
keeping it or expelling it out, no question should be left
unsolved or unresolved , whether less or more, the idea
creating a paradox should be resolved at once, not
keeping a lot of paradoxes while working on others things
at the same time, getting alert by the confusing
statement, not matching the previous set of questions,
either this statement is wrong or the previous ones, in
being yes or no. To keep the khayal stable gets a lot of
help from the Sharia, the commands like namaz, reading
the Quran, hajj and giving zakat, helps in consolidating.
Having said zuhar prayers we get ready for the asr and
followed by the next ones. Those who bypass Sharia the
responsibility falls on them. Any other question.
Question: Again How to consolidate?

Answer: This is a Divine Grace as bestowed by the
Creator, starts with love, as anything in love consolidates
all thought directed at the Beloved, anything directed at
Him will be united, as the Loved One is Wahid, will single
out. There has to be the perseverance and struggle to
keep the thought united. The more this urge is alive and
being consciously developed to have a unity in our thought
means our prayers are heard.
The rest is foul play the more we stay away from it the
more we attain fair play, so the rest is in staying away
from foul play.
Observation: So do not get out of the manzar, keep a
guard and stay close to the pious, keep continuously
pursuing the goal.
Question: Once the night is finished a change comes

in our thoughts, increasing and decreasing, as we get
into another routine a break is applied, changing our
inner self, how do we escape from this?
Answer: You mean when we are in a congregation we can
keep the thoughts together and move forward, and once
we leave the mehfil we feel forgetful, a back gear is
permissible according to the laws of inertia, a law of
nature, but the inertia will not get us back to zero, but
will keep some of the residual information in the mind,
our duty is to use it as a stimulus and a guide, like a ping
pong, usually a pendulum goes to and fro, and one thinks
I have done nothing, moving morning and evening and
getting no where, but actually the height which the
conscious mind gains is unfathomable, although appearing
as to and fro. Going forward a step and coming back to
where I started, but it is the vertical ascent that which
we are not able to gauge. Even by this travelling or
journey being vertical there is ascent or descent or
rather it is only ascent, since until we take the minus
state and become static, agreeing with the status quo
and not struggling it is guaranteed we will come down to
the ground. Otherwise one who is continuously moving
going east and west, is also moving upwards, to new
heights, a new point of view opens up here.
Question: Does not this state of going to and fro

ultimately become a point for acceptance by the
Creator?
Answer: Yes this means that the journey is going on as is
attested by the presence of nafs e lawamah, for those
whose journey is stopped there nafs e lawamah goes
silent.
Question: Is it important for us that the journey

should continue?
Answer: A traveler has to continue with his journey, he
does not have an option, what else can he do besides
travelling?
Question: Musafar(Wayfarer) , safar(journey),

manzil(destination), when does the manzil comes
nearer to the musafar?
Answer: When the musafar is persistent then the manzil
reveals itself, since the manzil is mustaqeem(on a
straight path)manzil is seerat e mustaqeem, ‘Behold Your
Lord is on the straight path’ so the manzil is on the Zaat
e mustqeem, where ever it will find the true believer on
the right path, will reveal and come nearer. On this ayaat
Allama Hazrat Shyakh ul Akbar Ibn Arabi has written a
whole chapter on the meaning of the Lord being on seerat
e mustaqeem. The world has seen such gems, when the
people could not understand them such personalities were
persecuted.
Question: When and how one achieves the power of

confidence?
Answer: The strength of confidence comes with piety, an
achievement in the domain of piety produces the power
of confidence, the to and fro does not produce
confidence is a sign of sahib e sikhaast, though taking one
into a self supporting phase a blessing in disguise. Too
much confidence is not a very viable thing either, now you
may say what has Dr Saheb said, since we always thought
self confidence is the best thing to achieve, actually it
keeps one restricted to ones achievements, it does not
takes one to La(no one).
Question: So one thing is established to remain in the

journey is the SURE sign of reaching the destination.
Answer: To remain in a journey is the sure sign of
reaching the destination (manzil), since the one who
leaves the journey is like the person who left the test
without completing the paper, for the one who keeps on
the journey is a sign of passing the test not giving up.
Question: What is Zaad e Rah?

Answer: Zaad e Rah is the khaloos(good intention,
purity), the key factor in this journey and success is
khaloos(pure intention), which is a weapon of the Momin.
Which means the negation of the self, not taking any
step to flourish personal desires. With good intentions a
few works, deeds, words, thinking producing a great
result, with out which a lot of deeds, reflections, trusts
stand no where.
So taking this thought of Butt sahib further then the
meaning of journey is to search one self, now we
understand the meanings of ‘Apna maan meen duub ker pa
ja suraag e zindage’ that who found the secret of the
Qalanadar found the secret of the self, self analysis,
self study all link up together.
Question: Can you please elaborate the search inside

or of oneself?
Answer: This is a short cut, practically until a person
reaches the Ikhlas (purity) within, it is a journey of
finding the faults within, where is the leakage, where is
the water leaking, to find where the glass is broken,
where is the crack, those who do not find there own
faults, will de track very fast. If a person reaches the
purity (Ikhlas) , then finding the self means to finding
the similarities, and then he will be finding similarities,’
Mana rabu nafs Hu… a new life will start coming in the
domain of the Sibgaat Ullah, imbibing in the color of God.
Humans have a potential to reach the color of Allah
Almighty. Before the turning point comes he is finding
the dissimilarities. There will be some similarities if not
all when the turning point comes.
Question: In the verses you quoted, means where

there will be selfish desire God will not be there, and
where there will be purity God will be found, can you
please elaborate?
Answer: In the first phrase where there is nafs there
will be no God, where there is no nafs there will be God,
this the meaning of the Kalimah La Ilaha Illalah, the
first thing we have to say no is to our nafs, then the rest
are all its manifestations. Keep Mana rabu nafs Hu and
the kalimah together we find
Question: Sometimes the nafs wanders and takes

another direction, how to rectify?
Answer: It takes time to filter.
Question: So the first step in finding oneself or to
search oneself is to check ones faults in the path of
tazkia e nafs and the first stage is to check and see
our faults and take them out, to red circle them and
to scrabble them?
Answer: To red circle them, because if you do not
become your own examiner, no one else will do it for you,
no one will correct your paper. Giving other the benefit
of doubt, not yourself not finding excuses, the judge
gave the benefit of doubt to others, and not you.
Question: Are our deeds a reflection of our

intentions?
Answer: Our deeds depend on our intentions, when we
feel a doubt we should check our intentions, do not
become your own defense attorney, I did not mean this
or that, it just happened, finding excuses for ones
conduct, for human is a bad omen for himself.
Question: Does bringing the blessings (shaafaat)

means changing into the colors of Allah (Sigbaat
Ullah)?
Answer: The divine blessing do not come along with a
person does not , the Divine blessing come after the
negative instincts are expelled out , after the animal
instinct are removed coming into a state of minus,
expelling them out, becoming a repository of the
manifestation of the Divine, so the proof is in the Hadith
’Kalaqa ul adama ala surat e hee.’ God created Prophet
Adam (Pbuh) on His own image Who ever is at the level of
an Adam, after coming in the obedience the true shadow
is reflected, before becoming a mutaaqi and then slowly
with efforts a human becomes a place for Divine
blessings. A human has discovered himself, when the
disfigurement is blocked the true figure is manifested.
Question: Is the seed there?

Answer: Yes the seed is there but the thorns are not
letting them come out.
Question: Does the seed which is already created

grow with an effort and repentance?
Answer: The great blessing of the Almighty is in the
chapter of repentance (tauba) before the last breadth.
There is no sin which is not accepted, the human is finite
while the Creator is infinite, all his wrongdoings will be in
the domain of his limitations, although thinking himself to
be super, like Halaku khan or Gangez khan, the finite
cannot grasp the Infinite. So the deeds are also limited,
there cannot be a comparison between the limited and
the unlimited.
Question: The true peace cannot come in the state of

wrong doing.
Answer: It is not technically possible for a human to be
in wrong state and be at peace, is possible theoretically.
If we interview such a person, he will never be in the
state of ease. The true relation is the relation of the
khaayal, having no formality and does not necessitate
meeting personally.
Observations by a participant: This is a great effort by
you in regards to Wasif Khayal, and I thought of sharing
the mehfil with you.
Observations of Dr Saheb: This is a dialogue and as such
has no formal topic; it is a mutual discussion, clearing the
paradoxes in our thoughts.
Question: What is the state regarding the progeny

that is the children of the Saints?
Answer: When Hazrat Ibrahim A.S was sanctified and
elevated to an Imam, he asked God whether this also
applied to his progeny. To which it was replied that this
does not apply to the unrepentant.
Question: Can you please elaborate?

Answer: I will answer from a book of mine, which will
interest you, as you yourself are a writer, ‘Educational
facts are something else, and the education of facts is
something else’ we know that children’s of a physician
can wrap medicines, this is an educational fact, and that
they have relative more chance, of accepting the truth,
although it is also the genetic makeup, those who have
this in their genes, will have definitely more exposure,
but depends on how different Sadaat(children) of the
saints react on individual basis, those who are not
consciousness of the khayal are still getting the benefits
of the system . I have a patient of mine who comes from
a village and belongs to a family of saints. Tells me how
his being in the village helps a lot of people from coming
to the courts in the towns, as we solve a lot of their
issues locally, but from the point of view of Khayal, or
their inner development is not guaranteed, there is no
compromise. In a mehfil someone asked what is Al e
Rasool, what is the meaning of Ale , to which Hazrat
Wasif R.A replied, those who are in your khayal, those
who are in the khayal of Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Alahi
Wassallam. As like Hazrat SalmanFarsi is considered in
ahle bayt also Hazrat Bilal R.A , while Abu al Hasan was
declared as Abu Jahl although being a relative. Instead
of giving a verdict we should look at our own journey, if
some person khayal is purified in a nizam should go there,
well and good, otherwise is he is getting confused should
not go there.
Question: When one has aqeedat somewhere one

becomes sensitive?
Answer: Becomes sensitive and does not let you develop,
Aqeedat is from Uqdah, an entanglement otherwise the
musafir of the khayal has a lot of universes open to him.
Tu saheen hai pervaiz hai kaam tera
Tera samne asmaan aur bhi hain
Those who are nice are nice everywhere.
Question: It is very beautiful statement what is nice

and what is wrong, this division is defined differently.
Answer: It is tasawwuf as Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A
use to say the bifurcation or division is not of rich and
poor but if rich person is nice is good, but if he is bad
that is very bad, if a poor person is good then he is nice
otherwise he is not.
Question: Sometimes someone has a feeling that I am

very near to God should keep me in this state one is
very happy, ones state being elevated and other
times feel dejected, that I am sinful then the rest of
the world can you please explain?
Answer: Happens with everyone of us do not think your
self an exception, as Butt sahib was just narrating, this
feeling is called nafs e lawama, some time one is in the
camp of the righteous, one feels happy and proud, see
oneself elevated. On the other hand if one is in the other
camp, then this pendulum is in the state of nafs e
lawama is a proof of the continuity of the journey, the
pendulum going to and fro, is watching both sides, but the
consciousness is not measuring the height it is attaining
the ascent towards its goal. Although doing some good
and then leaving it to do it again at some later time, the
diamond which is being polished in the process of this
journey also called the tazkia e nafs cannot be
ascertained and is realized at the end. The difference
between those who left there journey because of the
promptings of the nafs and those who continued there
journey.
Question: What is the best way to attain tazkia e
nafs?
Answer: Look Butt sahib you also mentioned it but this
has come in a new way in a different form, what should
be done for tazkia e nafs, the first thing is to try to be
muzaki, to keep the company of people who are blessed
who have attained tazkia e nafs,, desire to remain with
them, to keep the struggle although the distances are
infinite but still keep on trying.
Manzil hai bahut duur magar husna taqaraab
Wasif tere qadmoon ke nishanaat meen gum hain.
To find the footstep of someone who is a muzaki, and
following his foot step is the important first stage. Also
the second stage is to keep struggling in the journey but
never thinking oneself to have attained tazkia e nafs.
Never thinking to have attained tazkia e nafs.
Question: I have gone to various shrines, and read
about the saints, but have not met someone live.
Answer: The first question you raised confused us, now

let us remain to the first topic.
Question: We have to find that personality.

Answer: Let us reflect on tazkia e nafs, what else we
need not letting it finish in a few lines.
Question: I went to a shrine to find how out how to

attain tazkia e nafs, but could not find the answers. I
had a desire to meet someone. How can I attain this
goal?
Answer: Visiting a shrine brings one in trance, is a place

of attaining tazkia unconsciously, the going and returning
brings a difference slowly one may not realize the
difference, but as we are talking about tazkia e nafs
needs a live person because we are talking about tazkia e
nafs . Like Hazrat Ali Hajveri R.A tomb is a great place in
the subcontinent, where by requesting the ability to
attain tazkia e nafs we are directed to a person of tazkia
e nafs a Murshid. As the person of the tomb has already
attained the tazkia is actually zee ruh, we need a person
of zee nafs of flesh and blood who straightens you out
who guides you. As it is hard to ascertain the meanings of
these feelings at a tomb. Needs a person to guide, for if
this system was not there, then getting or translating
the meaning of ones feelings could not be rightly attained
like in a dream, the messages one is receiving needs a
mard e khuda agaah, for if it were not so, then the silsila
of tasawwuf could not have been established, for what is
the greater place then Masjid e Nabwi. The fourth step
is the ability to find the true sangaat. If you are in the
company of the rich one feels ones material poverty, if all
your friends have a Mercedes and you have a Mehran will
feel the difference, the same rules appears there
likewise in the company of the pious one feels the
poverty of the khayaal. Those who you think have a
better tazkia then you, if you sit with them you will feel
the difference, likewise we guide our children to make
friends who are valedictorian, will have a better chance
of knowing their own worth having bad grades and
achieving for better. For Tazkia e nafs we need a silent
kidmat(good works) of not propagating and professing our
own desires, like openly saying we have built a factory or
built a mosque, the silent worship, includes feeding the
poor, is a rohani raaz, apni islaah dosroon ke falaah, a sufi
in tazkia e nafs is busy with his own islaah using the tool
of falaah, by helping others getting rewards himself, also
respecting the parents, respecting the subordinates,
good attitude. Tasraaf itabaa e kirdaar e Muhammadi,
teaching the Ikhlaaq e Mohammadi, only by doing tazkia e
nafs we can understand the hadith,’manara nafsu faqada
rabu’ the nafs e mutiminah is the nafs with tazkia, is a
constant amal(journey) not a single chapter, is complete
book.
Question: As you said that one needs a teacher,

guide, murshid ,rohani peshwa, how do we get
satisfied, with such a guide?
Answer: There are general principles, do not personify or
personalize, for one who feels the absence of tazkia e
nafs resembles a disease when one finds it, one instantly
start where to find the doctor, getting referred from
one to another, not finding peace at one doctor goes to
an another, like a patient who comes to us and feels the
doctor is not referring him, and is only interested in the
money, goes to another doctor, so the answer it is similar
with a person who has true longing and true ikhlas ,will
find the true guide eventually . I am not giving my own
example but of Yousaf sahib, how does a person who has
true ikhlas and longing finds a guide, a test is where the
frequency of the mind and heart find synchronization,
not something the mind is accepting but not the heart.
The logic of the mind and the heart have to be on the
same frequency, I am not talking about satisfaction,
appealing to the heart and not the mind, and vica versa
does not bring synchronization.
Question: True sometimes the heart accepts what the

mind does not. So how do we resolve this dichotomy?
Answer: There are both symptoms, for rububiyat means

complete acceptance and not partial. The mother’s milk
contains the complete nourishment. People say we do not
find true guides; my own observation is there are so many
beautiful and good people, that it becomes hard to select
the best possible out of so many. The whole world is
beautiful and most beautiful of them are the
Musafaar(those undertaking the and are in the journey
of khayaal).
Question: How did Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A know

the best possible?
Answer: We can discuss that in a personal meeting, we
can go into so many events which are personal, we should
discuss the principles, in Kiran Kiran Suraj, there is a
quote of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A ‘ Do not talk about
the Zaat of your Mohsin but his ihsanaat’ will talk a whole
night to talk about personal events. Since you are
impressed by his personality, but that will become my own
self projection if I talk about my events, will not be very
helpful.
Question: No I am talking about tazkia e nafs, how

did that develop in your meeting with Hazrat Wasif
Ali Wasif R.A?
Answer: You can ask as many questions in a personal
meeting.
Question: If someone praises you what do you do?
Answer: When someone praises you he is praising the

khayal and not you, as you are in the journey as khayal is
the music that does not depend on the flute, even if
someone is showing his aqeedat longing for, and if God
forbid you consider your own personality, the rohaani
mistake of division takes place which is Shirk, converting
the tajreed to taqseem , changing the abstract to
concrete, why should one praise, someone, praising a
Muslim is praising Islam. Praise those who have passed
away. Praising the kalimah. Praising yourself is like
begging.
Question: As you were saying last time, that a

plateau comes, when we wait for the postman, does it
apply to means of subsistence, I mean the financial
aspect. Though one cannot ignore the life of
merchandize?
Answer: How are you linking the plateau of spiritual

journey with the dynamics of dollar if you are in America,
the gold has its own rate, your own activities and your
own ranking and grade, how do you bring the spirit in the
question and connect it with your worldly activities, both
are separate.
Question: It is like riding a bicycle are they two

different things or can they be related, when one is
planning the worldly activities, how do you consider
and make life as living in the Haram a complete life,
what are the instructions to keep your worldly life in
cognizance with the spiritual?
Answer: How did you link the two, the spiritual and the
material, both has a different dynamic. These are two
different things, the norms of the spiritual are not and
cannot be mixed with the business, but involving your
khayal in it will create problems.
Question: There are people who are living a spiritual

life as well as a life of merchandize. The desires are
limitless, and then you mentioned to only worry about
the breakfast, in the morning.
Answer: All the business activity should not be done with
the Imamat of your niyaat, all those activities should not
to be done with the power of your khayaal, let it continue
with its own physical momentum, the power of khayaal
and all its aims should be your journey, khaayal has its
own power,, the Imamat of your khayaal should not
involve business, as khayaal has power, the business
activity should only remain without desires, like in winter
we get a sweater and a coat and gloves without planning,
and in summer dress code is changed not buying a brand
or special color, in winter due to the intensity of winter
we buy the coat not under the parameter of desire, the
khayaal is not corrupted otherwise there is trouble.
Question: Is there a stage after Yaqeen?

Answer: Yaqeen is the manzil there is no manzil after
yaqeen, whose other name is death. In Quran it is
mentioned ‘keep on praying to your Lord until you reach
yaqeen’ the translation are obviously according to the
grammar is to keep on praying to your Lord until death
overtake you, all these are steps towards yaqeen, the
first being Ilm ul Yaqeen, then Ain ul Yaqeen, and Haq ul
Yaqeen all are the stages of yaqeen.
Question: What is after Haq ul Yaqeen?

Answer: Which means becoming the kaaim maqaam of
Haq.
Question: Knowing someone is going to die is Ilm ul
Yaqeen, then he dies being Ain ul Yaqeen, and then
one see him dead as Haq ul Yaqeen what is after
there must be something?
Answer: Haq ul yaqeen means Ishq(love), the definition of

love is it burns everything except itself, Ilm ul yaqeen
being we heard that fire burns, and Ain ul Yaqeen is you
saw someone burning, like seeing Mansoor climbing on the
gallows, and Haq ul Yaqeen being you yourself climbing
the gallows. So Haq ul yaqeen is the last manzil (stage) in
the old books of tasawwuf the definition and synonym of
zaat is hazarat e ishq. There is nothing after, it is his
barzaakh and is done with who reaches Haq ul Yaqeen,
while the other who has not reached Haq ul yaqeen is
waiting for the ammal, the right deeds, the stages of
barzakh. The one who has reached Haq ul yaqeen has
penetrated all the stages of barzakh, as what is going to
happen with Mansour Al Hallaj. For the one possessing
Haq ul Yaqeen does not recite the word tu does not have
the word tu in his dictionary, when he is saying meen (I),
means tu, so when Mansour Hallaj was writing people
became confused, and said that he is writing
kuffar(blasphemy), and called to arrest him. When the
letters of Mansour Hallaj where found they became a
proof, he used to write in a state of trance, bisme,
instead of baisme, with his name, although he later he
had to give the proof. The most beautiful work of
Mansour Hallaj in the history of tasawwuf was to open
the bottle of wahadat ul wajud, then people started to
drink openly, when it opened then everyone said, then
janab e bayazid said ’nothing happened’, since Mansour
Hallaj had once given the sacrifice, some said ‘there is
nothing except God in my home’ then Ghalib said,
Koch na tha tu ghuda tha, Koch na hota tu ghuda hota
Dubya mugh ko hona na na hota tu meen kyahotaa. So
everyone got a license to proclaim. So in poetry a lot was
said. In love it can happen ‘I am You and You are I’. In
love it can happen, where di d this topic start from, from
Haq ul Yaqeen.
Question: What is love with the zaat is it abstract,

the abstract of the zaat?
Answer: Is there Love with their Murshid or Ali or the

Prophet? A very nice question and asking in the night at
this time can be answered. Actually where there is
barzakh in between nothing happens, When the barzakh
is lifted then the problems actually occur, you might
love your Murshid or Ali , or the zaat e Rasool, but when
sometimes the curtain are lifted then the people feel
confused, the existence of barzakh are a great savers,
they save one and take care the people of barzakh.
Question: When this state of barzakh in between,

this feeling of the heart, when the medium is lifted in
this state of love this feeling, and the doors are
opened, are they opened by them too, when one is a
mureed of somebody, how do they apply and act in
the abstract?
Answer: The fael and mafool is same, actually the strings

of the medium are also with him in his fingers, you can
say in easy words, that all this play is of zaat making
one fael the other mafool, making one ashiq and the other
mashooq, is a play of hazarat e ishq, ,for these people of
barzakh that is the medium is controlled by them , that
is there uqool or intelligence does not waver or is not
scattered, otherwise by definition the maqam e ishq is of
Jazbst, the difference between one and other does not
remain.
You are trying to formulate this in a formula.
Question: Can they be bypassed?

Answer: Sometimes they are bypassed then one gets a
shock of 11,000 volts, one definition of Majzoob as
defined by Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A is defined as the
passing of one maqam before entering the other maqam.
When he has passed one manzil but the other has not
grasped him, the other manzil has not held his arm, the
manazil can be in the same medium, the murshid has let
go his zahiri hand but not grasped with his batini hand,
when he is held by the other arm then things settle down
for in that interval he is roaming about.
Question: Is it necessary for Juno that the purdah of

Aql should be shattered?
Anwer: The meaning of junoon is that the barzakh of aql
should be scattered, as we grow it is development of the
aql the development of our consciousness, the system is
the same, the language is the same gaining an excellence
in the same language, Jazb means coming into a different
language,
Question: Does everyone have to be given this Jazb?

Answer: For a musaafir a person in a journey is Jazb
necessary , Jazb is a taseer which is imparted to the
human consciousness, and can be gifted without a person
having to travel in this valley. Everyone does not have to
pass through it.
Junoon meen baaq rahoon kya kooch
kooch na samgha khuda kara koi
Question: Some people do Chillas and go to graveyards

what is this activity about?
Anwer: Rohanayaat is something else and rohinayat is

something else, has nothing to do with Irfaniaat, there
cup of tea is not marifaat, but to achieve some extra
material or extra sensory power to influence people. This
is not a subject, like doing B.A or M.A in economics or a
zahiri ullom, like cumpowedery, not to become a surgeon.
A friend of our once went to such a person, and after
scanning him the person said you have nothing wrong, to
which my friend answered that is the problem nothing is
wrong do something, as people were going to him to say
they had been wronged.
In the topic of Junoon let me add one more thing, the
language of Junoon is a language of consciousness which
is not mustahmil, though according to facts, like people
who do computer programming if they show you there
programming sheet, you will not understand, what is this
mumble and jumble, so it is like a machine language.
So rohaanayaat is something else, can be done in any
religion, animal spirit like yoga, do some things by
awakening these powers not connected with marifaat, like
someone who is Msc in Chemstry does not mean, he is
Aref. Has his own spectrum of life does not mean any
relation with Irfan, becoming and doing is a deed of
negation a lot of difference, where as doing a chilla is
sign of decadence. Starting with La, there is no scent,
gathering the masses, solving some problems through
spiritualism a limited work, there is no tazkia involved
either.
Question: Is a business using the religion?

Answer: Yes religion has no relation with it, even non
Muslim do it.
Question: Everything has a mystery what is mystery?

Answer: It is only known to whom the mystery is opened,
as Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A used to say the unseen is
for whom it is hidden, it is a relative term, if you reflect
in Kashf ul Majoob, tasawwuf or faqiri is journey from
lafz (word) to its meanings, when we journey from
meaning of the word , the word is zahir and the meaning
is its batin, the batin of the words is actually the batin of
the one who is discovering the meanings, any number of
meanings he has discovered is not a mystery for him but
a mystery for others, if you want to know the real
mystery it’s the human himself. Because what ever
meaning of any symbol he wants to find the meaning is
his batin, actually finding himself though himself saying
he is discovering the other, saying finding tu , infact
finding meen self. There is a proof, a hadith quoted by
Ghaus e pak in his book, ‘He is My mystery and I am his
mystery’ to find the journey of discovering the mystery,
the discovery of the mystery in a nutshell, is to find the
Raab in a human. If you find without making human a
medium, bypassing the mystery without the human,
otherwise you are a scientist, finding researching all your
life like at NASA..
Question: A Murshid?
Answer: The man of God that is a far off thing we will

call a murshid man of God.The kharaji thought of
bypassing means conjecture, roaming in circles.
Saad raygaan hoe iblis ka muqadaar hoee wooh sajdaa jo
kesse chukaat ke roobro na hoee.Insaan is that chukaat.
Question: The saints who are gone are also considered

Murshid?
Answer: Sure the distances are not valid even of
centuries, one who is sahib e maqaam who is amongst us,
who is sahib e nigaah, sahib e nishaan amongst us, who
has green gunbad on top, to them it does not matter that
a sahil or talib comes to them in 2000 or 2020,or 2050,
the time is running for us not for them, for example if we
go to data hazur today does not matter, if you were in his
time you would have still have gone the constraints of
time and space a lot of people could not meet them then.
The one going on Thursday to the tomb, would have find
them then too, because the one who they do not want
meet, they won’t let them even now spiritually. Maybe one
of your friends may get the duty to change you. Things
will change, the two things are not opposite but
complementary, the two things are two facts and are in
pairs, we think them opposite and in contrast, things
which appear contradictory are not as such. They are
complementary, not necessarily contradictory, if there is
a paradox must be cleared immediately.
Question: How long do we go to sahib e darbar?

Answer: A journey which does not have a side effect, the
uloom also have side effects, those ilm are good who
become part of the journey and khayal, for example the
knowledge of economics brings you a job in a bank, but
does not help in the journey of marifaat, some are
harmful like palmistry, horoscopes, etc, if you do an M.A
economics you get a job of 20 or 25 thousand rupee, but
the former have no contribution.
Question: What is the marifaat of ILM?

Anwer: Marifat or Irfan is of zaat, like if we say do you
know someone, and then we will recognize, marifat is of
the face, the knowledge can have division.
Question:If ilm has no marifaat, then can we have a

nomenclature.?
Answer: Pray for the right knowledge, having a division in
knowledge, the basis of all creation is knowledge and
creation has khair and shar, blessings and evil, devouring
the knowledge of evil will lead us astray, the power of
knowledge will influence us, using a button to destroy a
whole city, also in deen or religion, there is saying of
Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A be ilmi( no knowledge) is
better than baad ilmi (useless knowledge). The deen has a
kharij(external) and a batin(internal), those who only
grasp the external also get their proof from the Quran,
for them the internal does not exist, since a saint or
those blessed with rehmat or fazal is not there. To be in
the domain of a friends of Allah subhana-hu does not
exist. Here is what we mean by baad ilmi. We had a
friend who used to study horoscopes, and numerology, his
last life was very difficult, he did not want to be on
hospital bed number 8, or 6, preventing and not letting
him stay on a path of blessings.
Question: Those who do not know about deen religion,
can they know about dunya material world ?
Answer: Those who do not know about deen will not be

successful in life either, the rule of game is when a veil
(Hijab) is lifted you do not have the irfan of that
veil(Hijab), let me explain in easy terms, the circle that
you have not crossed, you will not have the irfan of that
circle, the things you have not given up, you will not have
the the irfan of leaving that thing, so to have irfan of
the world you will have to leave the world. So in order to
know the world you will have to give up on the world. Who
ever is involved in the world will not be able to
understand the deen, those involved in deen will be easy
to understand the world, the man of wordly affair will be
greedy, taking 15,20 dollars, but one who has given up
greed, will easily understand, and be indifferent. Those
who come and offer us insurance, I tell them my policy
about life is different than yours, my thinking is 180
degree different, so it will be no use discussing, even the
nizam of banks is based on greed, once greed disappears
goes away we will not have any banks and credit cards.
To have a knowledge of deen it is not mandatory to have
a worldly knowledge, when their was no knowledge of
physics, chemistry, biology still people had knowledge of
deen, now when having science we are teaching students
Cambridge O levels , A levels , Beacon house does not
insure that they are getting knowledge of religion, or
religion will get easy for them.
Question: It is heard that when people used to go to
Saints, they used to mention or say things which one
felt as the reflection in one’s life. Now it is seldom
found so. Why is that?
Answer: This is not a general statement, depends on

person to person, the drapery and the clothes may
change, but the system is never finished, the world is
never left out with irfan e haq, though when we read
about the history in books, we find a concrete thing, like
reading a history of tasawwuf of the old of 400 years we
read about a lot of saints, viewing a sliced or cross
sectional view of history, though at the same time the
kissa khawani bazaar was running and the talk about
purdah and chilman was going on, but we were not
concentrating, but when we are in Hal(present) in our own
world the eye is in diversification seeing all the channels,
when we are probing in history we are just probing one
channel,
Question: The saints are hidden and not loud, I have

been to various places and people, to summarize when
a saint is met, at the first sight he gives some signals
testifying to one being at the right place, and this
mirror reflects the right dwelling or the place of
guidance. Is that so?
Answer: Why would they give a signal, giving a guess
paper, a short cut? Read the whole syllabus and not just
the guess paper.
Question: No they give a sign alluding too or a click

from which one can figure out that one is at the right
place?
Answer: That could be right at reaching that place you

might get the signal, but you might not be ready yet for
the required information, but that is a one to two one
situation varying for each seeker, the patient is treated
on an individual basis. Sometimes some patients come and
us about measles having seen a few children whereas a
doctor might have seen 20000. Your experience might be
partial, not encompassing the whole.
Question: Once you mentioned that greed can be part

of a person and he might have changed later to a Sufi
is that right?
Answer: If a Sufi or Wali Allah has said something is

wrong, it does not mean that they were wrong themselves
at one point in there lives.
Question: Do they come already made and ready?

Answer: Yes but to explore needs 50 or 40 years, to
estimate the flood one does not swim in it, to save
yourself from an injury does not need to experience it.
Question: Even Quran mentions signs.
Answer: Having read a quotation we try mentioning it

without seeing the suffix and prefix, some quotations of
person are narrated without them. The true perspective
as narrated by Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A is that a
woman is a knower of the world, and a man cannot escape
her temptations without first having knowledge of deen.
So this quotation tells us that to overcome the women of
the world, she cannot be overcome without knowledge of
deen.
Question: What about the mother. Do we have to

listen to them always when they grow old as mentioned
about them, and the respect for the mother?
Answer: A law of nature where it is mentioned three

times in hadith about the mother, to serve her first, and
to accept wisdom take it from the father. In point of
opinion listen to your father, but her service should be
ten times, but to acquire intelligence listen to your
father.
Question: Do we have to have listen to and accept

them in everything?
Answer: It is the genetic makeup, the mother grows you
like a tree, but the genetic make up comes from the
father and the grandfathers, never disrespect your
mother in order to be saved, the word Itaba is not used
but Ihsan is used, even if your thought does not
correspond with theirs, in easy terms do not make your
own attitude such that they cannot enforce their
attitudes. Having humility and considering you as their
property.
Question: Every person has a maqam the real being

the one in the kingdom of the Creator. When we meet
a person how can we tell or know what is his maqam in
the eyes of the Creator and not what we are trying
to configureAnswer?
Answer: What you said becomes a fallacy in your search

sorry about that in the first meeting I had to say that
directly to you, but since the intention is about finding
the truth I am saying that. If you are in the search of a
true guide, then he is your psychologist as well as your
psychiatrist and everything, we have to fill the entire
tavern from one place.
Question: Don’t we need to follow and become like

someone, we are searching for, who is our ideal and a
true guide?
Answer: Psychologist and psychiatrist are paid workers,
in the chapter on nesiyaat (advice) Hazrat Wasif Ali
Wasif R.A has written that the giving advice has become
a profession, like career counseling lectures, highly paid
lectures on personality development in the offices, when
guidance becomes a profession it loses its blessings, a
psychologist cannot give peace, as he gets paid.
Question: Are they not working for money, by not

giving free advice?
Answer: They do not have time to share your feelings as

being on a time schedule, for 20 minutes this much
money, for 25 minutes so much fees, even giving one a
working plan, I have seen people who used to visit the
psychologists committing suicide later on. For years
visiting them and committing suicide, a personal
experience as a Doctor. Meaning when you reach you a
mard e khud agaah (know thy self-kind of personality)
then he will be your psychologist.
Back to your question how can we know the maqam

spiritual standing of the saint or the spiritual guide we
are trying to find, well, the real placing of a person is in
the eyes of the Creator, how do we know this is only when
we interact with people, this is a very important question,
the first thing we come across is their seefat (habits and
personality), we judge a person from their personality
from their status, is a doctor, an engineer, a scientist, an
economist etc, how does he look, his physical appearance
is he educated or illiterate.
But according to Quran the criterion is quite different

‘Ina aqram a qum indallah bil azkaar’, like ‘wali rah wali me
shanasaat’, ‘mutqi rah mutqi me shanasaat’, one who will
have taqwa piety, will respect and be aware of taqwa of
the other, one who himself is a traveler will know the
status of another traveler, one who is a poet himself will
know the status of ghalib or mir taqi mir. To find a human
one must find oneself, knowing the other self is related
with knowing one own self. There is an invitation’ Ina
aqrama qum bil azkaar’, a working protocol not just a
statement, not getting impressed by their outside
appearance, finding in them taqwa piety, the closeness to
God, is the protocol, which could create the company of a
cobbler more soothing and better then a deputy
commissioner, until one does not dive in ones own ego, one
cannot find the status of others, so in the final analyses
pechaan (knowing) rests with humans alone. The outward
appearances are dodging and be quite deceitful .
Question: Some people are given names, but death

takes away our outward appearance?
Answer: Yes all these names doctor, engineer, reflect an

outward status. Death takes away our zahiri
labas(outward dress), leaving the batini(inward dress).
Question:
Answer: Can you share other points, you have found
out.?
Question:
Answer: A quotation has the basic theory is of knowing

the main idea; otherwise we have to read the whole
grammar. The main idea being not be proud of our
outward status, will become zero after a few years, we
do not die with outward status but with the inward
status, like qutb al iqtab, shabaz la maqam, the inward
status being written on the tombs of the saints, not
knowing their outward professions, like cloth merchant,
or physician or teacher, just qutb e irshaad, their batini
status, not even mentioning their caste like being malik,
khan or shah, because we have already talked about them
before that their thought and being are one, being
recognized by their khayal , ‘Wasif sangaat ka naam wasif
khayal hai’ Wasif Ali ka naam aik arfa khayal tha’.
Question: What is the protocol of Sharia?
Answer: We cannot debate on the Shariah, if keeping

beard is sunnah then have to follow it, is not just
following the outer commands only, in the chapter of
marifah,
Question: A person is clean shaved goes to mosque
does good deeds, but cannot do imamat, why is it so?
Answer: We cannot interfere with the shariat, as you are

talking about is batin, if a person is not in the protocol of
the shariah, like going to mosque etc is mandatory,
punishment accorded in shariah are not to be discussed,
like Allama Iqbal was a great thinker, but would not
probably be the leader in the mosque, so we cannot
compare the two, in shariah the batin of saints like
Mansour Hallaj was not understood, even Hazrat Ali
Hajveri mentions him with great respect in Kashf ul
Majoob. Allama Iqbal talked about deen with so much
depth; his outward appearance was different, so was
Quaid e Azam.
So the people in the mosque have their own tasks, and
the ahle e batin have their own duties, in masjid e haram
the guards are roaming about with shoes, so with people
with the inner dimensions, like a police man will go one
way, and the hospital van will go through the traffic
signal, now the duty of the one who are in the dress of
batin is different as assigned to them, even talking about
Hanif Ramay and Ashfaque Ahmed and a young man like
me would be listening to deen, having come to listen to
some things different. So the one who makes the law is
not dependent on it. There should be no formality and in
criticism I am talking and you are listening, the criticism
will help you. A mukhlis(honest person) is such who is
more concerned about you, then your self as narrated by
Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A. Not like I call you haji and
you call me haji, I praising you and you praising me, is of
no use. The traveler has relations with his peers; either
he is a teacher or a student.
Mehfil with Dr Azhar Saheb 7-6-2013.
Question: How is noraini and rohani progress related

with dua (prayer)?
Answer: Rohaini spiritual is enough why to waste the use

of words, the question is of the relationship of noraani
and rohaini progress with prayers. It will be hard to
understand noorani progress for our conscious let us
discuss about rohani development, the word progress
here connotes an objectionable meaning since there can
be no change in the Ruh which is already a purified entity,
and does not entertain progress, already holding a
refined place in our being, rohani or spiritual purity for
jurisdiction purposes, for further ikhlaas , and further
transparency in order to entertain the spiritual purity
what is the concept of dua prayers. Reshaping the
question gives us a better understanding and clears our
concepts. The relationship of prayer with spiritual purity
is foremost, and first among all other amaal deeds, since
all the deeds to improve the status of our spiritual
development achieved through riyazaat practices and as
such riyaazat e insani is connected with, humans defects
being part and parcel of bashiryat e nafs basic instincts,
and inherently would be incomplete as the nafs ego is
prone to defects and shortcomings, any progress claimed
by nafs will be shortsighted, and such a claim will also be
a bundle of imperfections and shortcomings, but what
were asking through prayers is Fazal e Khudawandi Divine
Grace free of wants with no imperfections.
Question: What are the first steps?
Answer: Our Amaal deed are connected with our body, ‘
Khalqul ul insaan zaefa’ the human body is made of parts
made of clay the composition of many elements, in the old
philosophy being a mixture of fire, earth, air, and water
etc, the clay has hidden the weakness, protecting our
ugliness appearing beautiful , any amaal deed emanating
from this body will not be perfect. Human if he starts to
do good will feel pride after a short while , even doing
good not being accepted or practiced easily, one getting
into pride, except those on whom Allah Blessing’s descend
the inam yafta the blessed and the muqarabeen near
ones, other than we see all humans amaal deeds a
mixture whether good or bad, in contrast Ruh being pure
and one entity having no variance, a constant entity the
question again being what is the effect of prayers in
rohani . Let us visualize the concept of our own efforts
seeing not very durable for our own desires, what to
speak of them for the development of spirit, dependency
directly linked only to dua prayers, when we are praying
in true perspective it means we are asking for Fazal
Divine Grace, if we are asking for things by our efforts
we hardly take the help of dua prayers. If we want to buy
a car we will first save money and buy not asking it much
by prayers, on the other hand the dua is related to
facets not achievable by hard work. This is the answer to
your question in brief, it is only related with dua, why
because in Quran e Pak ‘Rabna la tuz equlabna bada iz
hadaytna, ’Oh God do not deviate our Ruh from the right
path and punishment once given guidance.’ Tatlu qalub
being on the right path, qalb heart being saleem pure, and
being in the path of tasleem obedience is a Divine
Grace,and for this we need prayers rab e zidne ilma, all
having a spiritual dimension, al ilma kama shai, all prayers
is with the spiritual, rabna jalna fite give us a spiritual
relation, all have a connection with dua prayer less with
koshish exertion, because when a salik traveler realizes
quite quickly that less is achieved by work.When saying
taraveh we need to eat and fulfill call of nature.this is
the weaknesses in a human body, after a few hours on the
jay e namaz will need other things to do, the body is
clothing and covering the animal being non scented
portion, washing and putting scent for a few hours to
appear presentable changing after 4-5 hours, Divine
Grace has actually a link directly with dua prayer. This
has been written by all the sages.
Kooch haath nahe ata beagaha sahar agahi
Waking up in the morning tahajud prayer , Fajr prayer
and then prayer dua an ayaah. Kooch haath nahi atta
pertains to spiritual saying.
Question: Is faizs achieved by prayer?
Answer: Faiz is a manifestation of a prayer of long gone
times in childhood, or early adult hood unveiling in time on
a physical platform, so gathered later on completing the
sunnat , with the right circumstances, providing the
means for the actual destiny to blossom. If we pray for
Rupee 500 the spiritual longing achieved by a prayer
through a spiritual longing, the manifestation of the
prayer and the Faiz coming from a mazar or sahib e
mazar due to the physical longing, go and give him is due
to physical longing.
What is Faiz, is it a zahiri benevolence, after I became
rich having no money before being fazl or faiz, or
something else, before I had less practice and now more
is it a Faiz, before having a motor cycle and now a car
getting Faiz, no it is not getting something in a tangible
form it is not Faiz, tangible form is a possession in the
form of amanat trust or azmaish trial . Something we
can touch by hand is common between believers and non
believers , like a cell or mobile phone is common for a
every one , Chinese , Japanese, Korean or Saudi, any one
use, Faiz is not in a tangible form, available only to a
Momin and not to anyone. As narrated by Hazrat Wasif
Ali Wasif R.A in books do not ask for a tangible form
with a prayer, having with a non Muslim, ask for the
longing of the beloved of the Creator with prayer being
the fore most, not the naseeb yearning of a non Muslim.
In simplest term and words when we say some person had
a lot of Faiz meaning like in khush naseebe is not a part
of the zahir but of the batin, so is Faiz, changing not the
zahiri but the batini wajud, one person who had a longing
for the worldly life and it changed to deen received Faiz,
changing from mafad self interest to ikhlass, not likening
to sitting in the bazaar but to sit in a masjid, a Faiz,
meaning at least where Faiz is coming from, getting
closer to one who is emanating Faiz. One who says he got
Faiz as he has got four factories is not Faiz not using the
right terminology, data hazur had great Faiz, now like to
read Kashf ul Majub, wanting to saying 5 times prayers at
the shrine due to Faiz of data hazur. The minimum
definition and tending towards the location where the
Faiz is coming from a faculty which when illuminated and
turning towards to the place where the Faiz is coming
from.
Question: Getting the rasaie access of Faiz rassan
friend of God?
Answer: Getting the Qurb nearness of Faiz rasaan
friend of God, is called Faiz, and while getting popularity,
wealth, and power is not guaranteed.
Question: Is this process to discover or its rohaini
development, a process or a discovery or nourishment
with time?
Answer: Your question is the rohani spiritual development
is it connected with time or it is same as the development
of body or a process of discovery, it is process of
discovery, unleashing the curtains of haqiqat truth not
like a body, the development of Ruh spirit is a discovery,
not the changing and varying stages of the body, small
Ruh becoming big no it not like that like the body, a self
able to perceive and understand the Ruh is blagaat
discovering not blogaat growth which is connected with
the body. The ages of Ruh are the same but the
difference is built in , some more pure than others. We
have to discover our own Ruh not of anyone else;
discovery means the faculty of Ruh starts manifesting.
Question: Is it often?
Yes when a human is humbled by the power of the body
or does not consider the power of the body and lower
self to be ultimate, then the Roahini spiritual power
starts to unfold. A human striving for a purpose when he
finds his mind, body and brain utterly exhausted by the
vicissitudes of life and he falls asleep, here the faculty
of his Ruh is unfolded and activated, and then the
minimum he is informed in sleep of what he needs to be
informed Allah Akbar, if he is a bit stronger then the
state of kashf will appear informing him.
Question:
Answer: The body is dependent, these are events of
recorded history, or gadgets is it going to rain, a bodily
activity overcome by someone else who is predicting rain
a transcendental activity of irfani plane. The body is
dependent if flying needs a plane ticket, having very
strong barriers of space and time.
Question: What has ammal to do with dua prayer and
how can they become a means of acceptance of
prayers?With dua and sawal we are trying to find the
nearness to God, when we read Quran, we do not
know how to pray?
Answer: Are you talking about acceptance of dua prayers,
in linguistics we see dua is ammal and dua as striving, like
faryad and yelling is not voluntary, no acting while in
other actions it is maneuvering, will take bath in a river,
while dua mean faryad is a sign of despondency and utter
helplessness, in the failure of our own efforts. As Hazrat
Wasif Ali Wasif R.A stating the falling of tears in the
darkness and solitude of the night as a form of dua
prayers. Being an acceptance of complete failure and
repenting from our deeds, telling the Creator to do
something, what we wanted to do we did now its you the
Creator to do.
Question: How does remembering the Prophet Pbuh
contributes to dua, prayers?
Answer: We cannot confuse the question linguistically or
philosophically by making a dua prayer dependent on
amaal deeds. Prayers are answered with reciting the
Darood e Pak before and after,
Question: is it a faryad longing?
Answer: Yes it is a faryad otherwise will remain in a state
of suspension between the heavens and the earth. Darood
e Pak is the reading and tazkira of usama nabyeen. Usama
o Nabyeen read with utmost devotion and the need
thereof holds the necessaity, darood e taj, the prayer to
be accepted needs usama o nabyeen.
Question: All Christianity could reach till maqam e
rooh and after rooh only Islam reached till nur?
Answer: Christianity reached the point of Ruh as Christ
was Ruh u Allah, whereas Islam gave us the knowledge of
nur, as zaat mohammadi is nur, marifat e nur is marifat
e zaat e mohammadi, that is very distant destination, only
discussing Ruh is sufficient for now, both cannot be
understood in the same breath.Discussing Ruh and nur,
Maqam e mohammadi is maqam e nur, as earlier religions
were not conscious of nur.
Question: What is desire?
Answer: Do not do anything because doing something will
add to the desire of doing more. One work of worldly
affair adds to another because of the momentum, should
not do anything. To get rid of desire, the solution is not
to do anything of one’s own choice, will create more
trouble. In order to spare oneself from the desires of
the nafs the easy way out is to follow the voice of
another, when not following the voice of another one is
forced to follow one’s desire. There are three paths,
according to the Quran. 1. The path of the mehboob’s
beloved inaam yafta the blessed, alternately there are
two others, 2.magzoob’s and the 3.gumrah, those who do
not follow the voice of the mehboob’s are doomed to
follow, the other two, those who turn from mehboob’s to
magzoob’s either inkaar deny or else inharaf ignore,
those who deny following the path of His mehboob
undergo gazaab punishment and those who follow inharaaf
are subject to gumrahi are lost. So there are so three
ways 1.Muqarabeen. 2.,Magzoobeen’s and Gumrahioun.
Those who do not click the first options are forces to
click one of the other two.
Question: Like in Sura e Fatah?
Answer: Yes as in Sura e Fatatah, like as in Quran, the
best option is to follow the path of the blessed, following
there voice, choosing one among them, then the life is
like a Hajj. How to get rid of desires this was the topic,
in other words follow the advice of the heart, otherwise
will have to follow the nafs, following the heart means
where the dilbaar resides as the heart is maqam e dilbar.
We are discussing means and ways of protecting
ourselves from desires, the first thing is to recognize
the voice, of what is called desire, and otherwise one
considers the voice of khawaish e nafs desire as doing
laabaak a good and genuine deed. Real voice and fake
voice have to be differentiated, in Quran‘laan tara bera
hatta mema’ means you cannot reach pious deed unless
you do not sacrifice the most precious thing, the lesson
and mystery revealed and learnt is to get rid of all things
then shaar evil will not , because the desire will emanate
from the precious property. Your property will travel
though it, the easy meaning tarq e khawaish is taraqa e
maalqiaat, transferring things in one names makes one
forgets one’s own name, when writing a sentence I had
written, ‘This house is under your name, this land is under
your name, this bank balance is under your name, what is
your name? The sages say your property is your ghair
apart, the ghair apart, different from your zaat being,
malqiaat property is not you. Example this table is mine,
although it means the table is not your it’s your ghair
apart from. The more property you will gather the more
lost you will get, discovering yourself will become
increasingly difficult, where insaan human is probably
hiding behind the mountain of coins.
Question: The desires are part of a human, those who
are free from wants are really pure? Wajud e ghair
ho kaisa gawara.
Answer: Wajud e ghair ko ho kaisa guwara tere rahoon

meen besaaya gaya’ a poem of sarfarz, wajud ghair is not
acceptable, the Being which is lashay, how can sha
approach it, at least go to Lashay after being besha,
‘wajud ko ho kaisa guwara tere rahoon meen besayaa
gaya’.
The biggest hurdle to doing Hajj is your possession, your
luggage, when one desires to go to Bayt Allah, when one is
stressed to take care of the luggage, then the wealth of
the besaro sumani possession less is assessed, is the
greatest jauhar e insanayat jewel. The sage’s lying
without possessions were often misunderstood, Waiting
at a counter, to pick up luggage while the friend is waiting
outside. Now we can understand the meaning of the
Hadith, on the Day of Judgment the poor will enter
jannah paradise 70,000 days ahead, as compared with the
rich, not to have their luggage checked. When the Lord
blesses a person, the first thing He makes him realizes is
the futility of material possessions.When his belief is
removed from chains of thought of cause and effect, only
then he will realize how the mansha and massiahat y will
manifest, the concept of taqdeer, tawaaqal, kanat,
mashaahiat, fazal, istaqnad, all will be meaningless. So one
who only spends life on possessions suffocates. Has its
own mechanism in killing by suffocation having tons of
possessions will be yelling, call the doctor I am having
palpitations, the cure of human is through another human,
as soon left to possessions will bulldoze, any one who does
not lays the foundation of his happiness and sorrows on a
human, and instead on possessions will be a dead person.
Question: Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A said when a
ruh ka ruh se wasal hota hai tu unsoon agate hain,
when the Prophet Sallalahu Alahi Wassallam and sage
like Baba ji Wasif R.A have tears, what is that
ocean? To be part of their company in Hereafter and
Barzakh.
Answer: For not getting into any disrespect and not for
the sake of endangering our self and better is on the
safe side, this concept of wasaal has a very high and
different pedestal for these great beings. Not involving
our self with them out of fear of disrespect. Should have
tammana for their yaad, yaad ruh ka saafar hai, in the
direction of the safar. In aqaabaat and the sangaat in the
Hereafter and in Barzaakh with their Noble beings is a
great tammmana, is a very emotional prayer, one should
pray for it and have its tammaana achievement. The fate
of an insaan will be with those he loves. Sahahaba who
were very pious, have narrated their extreme bliss and
satisfaction on hearing this news, that now there was a
sanad certainty that whom they loved and revered, would
be in their presence in the Hereafter.(Amen). In punjabi
kalam of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, jees de yaad saade
dil whiich usdee sadde aiko ghoot. Should remember and
stay in the path, manzil ka wadha musafir ka lya.As long
as he is traveling he is promised.
Question: As in the case Baba ji must know who he is
calling him?
Answer: Even calling a friend will remember you, we do
not have the ability to remember them, without them
remembering us. Like we have a phrase when going to a
senior officer’ Sir did you remember me’ without
permission even remembrance is not possible. Yaad ruh ka
safar hai remembrance is a journey of spirit.
‘Naam Ali laboon pa aya hai abhi
Shaid anona yaad farmaya hai abhi
Muhabbat jo awal der dil a mahbbob paida safar
Mohabat love is created in the heart of the Mehboob
beloved first, when he considers and pay attention then
the mohib pays attention.
Question: When we are paid attention do we go
through a process? Does the saint guides us?
Answer: To the child we want to teach writing we first
teach taawaa not able to write, putting words here and
there called tawaa, you are right in mohabat haqai is kush
khati fine writing and pona are layed to learn , love of a
parent, or a human on earth is changed to love of the
Creator. The love of the human prepares for the love of
the Beloved.Ba Alif ba, leaning ba alif ba, and then they
learn the whole sentence. Mohaabaat is such a pakeeza
and munazza pure thing that even its true copy is an
admirable thing. Majaz is a copy is also a mountain. In
Sareika a poet in firaq longing says ‘Ya raba ja tera arabi
dhola tere tu becharda te meen poch’ ka dard firaq da ke
hai.’ Majaz is copy, in court language we write ‘True copy
of the original’ tnaqal ke asaal bhe whoo he hai, naqal
meeen bhi jalwas us e ka hai hota hai blessing in the true
copy also, Majaz remain ‘majaaz us waqat taak majaaz
rahta hai jab tak majaaz ke haqiqat nahi khulti’ until
reality opens up as the jalwa in the majaz is also the
same. The ones standing outside define and differentiate
it as majaaz and haqiqaat, according to their own
understanding not realizing since standing on a different
pedestal define their own dictionary terms seeing his
outwardly behavior and appearance though for those
involved in majaz the jalwa is from the same being
exactly as reality, while the others seeing his behavior
think mehboob as pakaar e fina having wasal e fana died .
For the one in maajaz the haqiqaat reality is the same
the true copy is also the original copy for him. In the
platform of majaaz too in that the mohib and the
mehmoob the conversation going, the events being shaped
waqai e nigare and the wakoa e nigare is being done by
the same author Hazrat e Ishq, the kitabat is being done
by the same Katab e Aazal and the Katab e Taqdeer for
where ever to make a punctuation where to put a comma
where to put a full stop, For the time being the same
reality is being opened up on him.
Question: The love we have is already in the Shaykh
what are the signs?
Answer: It is not necessary to take certification every
time, we are in the same frequency we will stay in it, non
conditional, otherwise will be conditional.
Question: We get everything from mehboob, the
rohaani path? How can we do righteous deeds, which
come from the hadith?
Answer: Do not short cut mixing the roohani spiritual and
madi material together, keep on and stay on the path, will
Question: It is a feeling keep on traveling on it like
Maulana Rum, ‘Harq e zaat e perruh haq ra yaq na deddu
na muridu na muridu, there is no formula , a thing of
concentration, When the platform of daleel logic and aql
intelligence will come then things will be segregated, this
is Medina, this is Mecca, this is Baghdad Sharif, it is the
mohabaat ka surma hai one who says we see the same
jalwa everywhere in Bagdad Sharif and in the Murshid
khana is a great thing a personal experience. We cannot
generalize and vocalize it for those who are not having
the same concentration, will get confused. So it is
important to keep ones Mehboob and ones Mushaida
inner experience to one self infect the Mushaida of ones
Murshid to oneself also. Kamran Shah sahib ( God bless
his soul) used to say apna mehboob ta apna faqir looqa ka
rakhna chaida uno public figure naee banaa chaida.
Question: From the point of Ilm ul Yaqin, is there a
formula? Sometimes if another thing comes in our lives
and we get busy in businesses what are the means of
avoiding negative areas and save our Ilm?
Answer: In Kiran Kiran Suraj Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A
said. ‘We should know the Ilm knowledge to save our Ilm
knowledge ‘what you just called Ilm ul Yaqin to save it
also we should have the Ilm knowledge too. Whatever
knowledge you know and take it to Jamia bunuria, it is
not possible to save your book, knowing where there is
baad ilmi, bad intentions, while you can sit with the be
ilm without knowledge would be alright but baad ilm are
destructive, without ilm will just say a random thing not
intentionally just heard from somewhere, but a baad ilm
will fire a missile of bad words and sentences to unnerve
you. To protect the Shish Mahal of your Quaid and khayal
one most have the knowledge to save your knowledge So
like in a computer we should know what programs are
compatible to download, or they will create a virus and
blow of your system data. So in knowledge you should
know the kind of people to avoid. So the yaqsaniat of
sangaat is very important for concentration of the
khayal. Another important point Hameed sahib is as said
by Hazrat Ali Wasif R.A on answer to a question raised in
his sangaat, ‘People even come to pick the bricks of a
fallen home.’ Do not let your yaqin faith unguarded,
people will come to destroy and loot it if your castle of
yaqin is weak. Let us name your khayal as yaqin , if you
are firm in your khayal, slowly people of half hearted
nature will learn to stay away from you. Knowing full well
that from now there conspiracies and ill intentions will
not work it is a danger zone. If you are your self plus and
minus then the people you will find will be negative. But if
you positive charged will no be able to neutise you. Why
are you traveling on this path many have perished?
Question: Even someone talks negative stay away and
keep silent?
Answer: Discuss it on your own platform a colleague can
create a distraction, discuss them on your own platform,
in your own sangaat company, they will keep you engaged,
and will delay your doing good deeds. I went to a wedding
and there was a company of people knowing full well my
intentions and khayal while I kept silent, not there
subject just wanted to tease me. Like talking about
Shirk, Noor,Bashr,Bidah, arguments heard for a long time
fell silent after five minutes. If you want to teach
physics one must know the basics, if you want to teach
quantum physics first teach them particle physics.
Question: I saw a program of an hour were talking
about, mysticism?
Answer: Until one does not read a book by the one who
has brought the book, his intentions and the angle the
book does not open. ‘Yadu bil kasera wa yahdu bil kasera’
there are people have memorized the whole Quran,
explaining destiny. The missionaries are reciting the
verses of Quran as well to mislead.
Question: When verses are read how do we know its
correct meanings?
Answer: If you do not understand a verse of the Quran
the best and easy way is to read two verses before and
two or three after will clear up, the context, if we just
read a verse out of context will not solve, even Christian
do that. Not reading the before and the after verses to
use a verse out of context. Even Quran says’ We have
made the Quran easy for understaning’ when we have a
question the answer appears in the next few verses. In
sura fatha what is seerat e mustaaqeem is ‘ ahde na rase
ratu ul mustaqqeem’ ‘seerat Alllah zeena anamta alihim’
the inaam yafta blessed, not the maqzabeen evil doers,
like in surah baqra ‘huda lil mutaaqeen’ who are the
mutaaqeen, hudal mutaqeen those who fear Allah, each
term explained in the verses around, though the depth is
limitless, new symbols, a seeker who reads it will find it
as a message delivered today. Has to remove prefixed
idea, whether in good or bad condition, warning if on the
wrong path and proof if on the right path, having the
warning if on wrong direction, The time and space and the
kalam speech and the humans all belongs to the same
Zaat Him, using the medium of time and space delivering
you the message using the words. What is your problem
then? When you read Hadith it wil reach you after 1435
years, roaming in time and space, and so we should see
when the message reached us, the mushiada and muqaisha
then became. Example a relative had a problem two weeks
ago, while the news reached you today , that would be a
news for you when it reached you not two weeks ago ,
though the event had happened two weeks ago but it
reached you today. In olden times when an event had
occurred you got the news by telegram, and then became
an occurrence. Though the Deen is complete and declared
but for you it became Deen when it was implemented on
you.
Question: Harr chehra meen ate hain yaar ke nazar,
haar chera meen kaisa nazaar ate hai yaar ke surrat?
Answer: Ahbab ke surat ho ka agyaar ke surrat, until the
distance between them and us is removed, only then we
will be able to see in every face the face of the Beloved,
when there is no distance between agyaar and ahbaab, in
history we have an example of Sarmad shaheed who was
martyred by Aurganzeb, when the executioner was
coming was bringing the sword, it is not easy seeing a
sword and then saying a farsi qalam‘Outside
Mehfil on 8-6-2013 with Dr Azhar Waheed Saheb.
Question:
When it is said that time stops in the journey of
Miraj, then does the stoppage of time means, that
the Arsh(throne) and the Maqamat are outside the
domain of time.
It is a difficult topic, from what is known partially, we
cannot state anything with certainty, as the
Umi(follower) cannot estimate the Uroj and
Miraj(Greatness) of the Nabi Pak(Prophet Mohammad
Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam) which is beyond
comprehension. What we have got from the knowledge
handed from generation to generation, is that
Waqt(time) has two Jahatain (entities), one being
connected with space , the horizontal axis on which rest
are usual calendars, and the other being vertical, which is
probably called Dhār. In which although there is depth,
but its is at a standstill called Ana e Wahid (single
moment/pure duration) that dimension of time. Also it is
said since Nabi Pak(Prophet Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi
Wasallam)is the Ruh of the Qainaat(Universe)so when
the Ruh leaves the Jasad it becomes standstill. So the
stoppage of time was very natural, since when the cause
of time and events was not there in the Alam Khalq, the
stoppage of time was natural. My grandfather used to
say, that before the creation of India and Pakistan, he
used to sit with intelligent Hindu Jotshi’s, and one a very
capable of them said you Muslims talk a lot about Qiamat
(the end of times). I can tell you the end of time if you
Muslims can give me the, duration of the Miraj, when we
calculate the Qiamat end of the world, as soon as we try
to calculate the time a space comes in between which
hinders and interrupts our calculations before and after,
and it the same space which you say your Prophet
journeyed in Miraj, in which the interval of Miraj took
place.In the Waqai e Miraj shariff it has been declared
with certainty, that the events in time and space do not
work only by cause effect and calculations , now a Zaat is
involved, now the Mansha of the Zaat is involved,
although before that it was according to calculation. We
see in Sura Jinn also that Jinnat used to say that before,
we used to get information from the heavens, but after
the Besaat, we cannot intervene when we try as we do
are followed by a bright Shaab e Saqib, also in the
narratives we find that too, that after the Prophet
Sallalahu alaihi Wassallam came back, the bed was hot,
the chain at the door was swinging and the water for
Wadhu was flowing.
The particles (and forces created in the space-time
continuum are the symphonies produced out of the
vibrating strings of this violin the Grand Cosmos, whether
a scientist arrives at a discrete space-time as the musing
of string theory or no space-time as in non locality, ), this
music created by the violin(its strings) is actually at the
heart of Tasawwuf, it is all about , hearing the tones
coming out of this violin. Tasawwuf is looking at the
whole, that is why the description of a Sufi encompasses
the totality, while that of a scientist being partial. As
Allama Mohammad Iqbal R.A has mentioned in his
‘Reconstruction of Religious thought in Islam’.
If you ask me how I define Miraj Shariff, although
there different Jahatain( meanings), which have been
and will unfold on the ummat, I would like to talk in the
context of Shan e Mustafa, I will say that the Waqai e
Miraj was the declaration of the Faniat e Basheriat. The
complete and outspoken declaration of Fana e Basheriat
. The declaring I am Ana Bashar by the Prophet Sallallahu
alaihi Wassallam.
This could be interpretation of a poet, like me a childish
feeling, Azhaar e Aqeedat (the love of the Prophet
Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam). The Purdah even of Meem is
not in between tonight. Time is Alam Khalq, time is
Takhliq (creation), those who do not consider it Takhliq,
and do not believe that time is created by a Creator;
they consider time itself as the creator, that is why they
are called Dharia(atheist/free thinkers). Because they
see the essence of time and all its great seefat
(properties) appearing as similar with the Divine, time is
everywhere, time is Qadar(power), time over comes
everything, then those who do not believe in a Zaat have
to believe in time as omnipotent, omnipresent, in alam
Khalq the key seems to be time, the key factor, the
code, when time types a command after sometime things
start happening for those who do not believe in a Zaat,
that is why they are called Dahria. When the Jana e
Takhliq will go to Jane e Jana, takhliq will stop, that is
why we say that time stopped. Another thing which opens
up from this question about time stopping in Waqai e
Meraj, is that as in the Iman of Sufia belief of Zaat e
Mohammadi is Barzakh e Kubra, a medium between
Khaliq and Maqhlooq, when the medium is directed
towards the Maqhlooq, with all the faculties of Mazaga
Al Basar or Mataagaa in conversation and in the Qurb of
the Creator when the chain of the door was still moving ,
indirectly proving Barzakh e Kubra, when the Rab gives
Zaat Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam is the one
who divides, the knowledge would come divided to the
Maqhlooq of Waqai e Miraj and would be partial,
blossoming with time until Qiamaat.
Question:
Time in the fabric of Taqhliq(creation) is a Tana, and
space is a Bana, first during knitting Tana and Bana
creates the spacetime fabric, when the Dori (thread)
of time is pulled and the thread of time is erased from
the fabric, in the Alam Kasarat(diversity in nature), the
designs and calligraphy in the garden of creation are
ripped. The differentiated phenomena between the
grandfather, father and son is due to time, if it is
removed all the difference between the generations is
romoved ,time has proliferated matter, fashioning
matter, disintegrating in a very integrating way.
To the question is time the destiny of Zaat, this is that
time which we call Dahr. Aima Pak state about this time
is that I am time; it is my Will, the dimension of time
which is vertical. It is not the horizontal or the serial
dimension, which can be divided according to the calendar
and the clock. Dhar is Ana e Wahid (single duration)
cannot be divided, as applicable on Zaat, Jaisa tha waisa
hai (Was as Is), and zamana ko kabhi bura na kaho(do
not vilify time). There are two terminologies involved
when we use serial time and Divine time together. People
say if the time is related with the movement of matter,
if matter stops moving the meaning of time will diminish.
Serial time is used to record change. If time is for
Makhlooq no one will become Dahriah(atheist/free
thinker).
Question: Do we refer it to serial or vertical time the

above reference to Dahr .Are we talking about serial
or horizontal time, a single moment Ana e Wahid is
creating serial time
Answer: it is for both, my perception and not of a
scientist, is although debatable, at the moment of
creation , when time was created in vacuum ,the matrix
on which creation took place is called Dhār (time).
Question: When you were talking about the stitching

of fabric of space-time of Tana and Bana the kasarat
(diversity) created in serial time as you mentioned
earlier, does it not typify Hijab(Viel).
Answer: Certainly it is a Hijab, this is the Hijab which
when lifted is called Makashaafa in the calendar year,
when we say, we met someone in the past, meeting a 200
year old Saint, a 500 year old, a 1000 year old, how did
we meet, by the lifting of this Hijab of time.Let us talk
about something beyond science.
Question: Yaad ka Haal ko Hama Haal kiasa kya
gaye(How do we make permanent the remembrance of
the beloved.)
Answer: Yaad has two entities like time, one is suri, and
the other seerati, one of tasawar and the other of
concept, when we remember someone, we remember the
face and the movement of that person, this is purely
based on love, and the other dimension is looking at the
seerat, khayal and Uswa Husna, the Amal of Yaad is
both suraati and seerati, so both, accepting the seerat,
on oneself, so that I might not commit something which
would be in opposition, if my Amal is before the beloved
how will the reaction be.
The other is being getting Hamrang, the dimension of
seerat, which reduces the distance, the distance is
reduced in love, by nature it wants to remove the
distance, the formula is ‘Itaba Kardar’; when one attains
hamrang or Sigbat Ullah only we become Hamrang then
we become close. For otherwise the zahari yaad as in a
mosque does not bring that closeness.Yaad really creates
wonders, starts at surat, then journeys through seerat
becomes Wasal e Mehboob(one with beloved).God does
not see our faces but Taqwa.
To travel on seerat, on the path and seerat of the
Medina Wala, and the path of the Aulia Allah makes you
Hamrang, reduces the distance, Itaba e Kardar e
Mohammadi, as described by the Sufis. Those who say
they want to love Allah should follow the Prophet
Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi.When they become Hamrang
and be on the path of Sigbat Ullah(color of Allah) is
actually the path to Hama Hal. When the standing,
sitting and lying down of a Momin becomes a Hama Hal, a
question of niyah, even he sleeps during. When I went to
do Umra,I fell sleep and felt sad to have missed the
namaz, a Saudi friend came to meet us and while talking
to us mentioned that to sleep in the Haram is sawab too,
so I felt better .So its is all about the niyah, like when
we are in masjid for Ithiqaf, everything is prayer,
whether eating, sleeping but should be Ba Wadhu,
otherwise its like a person in a library is looking at books
without Wadhu. The Wadhu of Niayah, for first thing in
namaz is to Ba Wadu and second being Kibla Ruh.
Will the Mohib and Mehboob be together in the day of
Judgment or in Barzakh too, it is also in Hadith pak too,
does it apply to Barzakh also or after. The sangat has
started, Khafi in barzakh and ,in barzakh the other will
not know who is with whom, in Hashar it will be know,
these are shuhada, salaheen, momineen.
The questions of Sheikh Sahib are for a practical
traveler.
Same action produce different results in different
situations, it depends on niyah , when for example I gave
water to sheikh sahib it was giving water, in another
situation the niyah could be different, when we travel
abroad we get a travel tag, having a flight number, if the
tag is changed the bag gets to another destination. So
with our Amal we should be very careful to attach the
proper tag, sometimes the amal and niyah are same, but
the situation could be different, saying a poem in front
of a people having different understanding will have
different reaction and respect. Depends on the
environment, we have no power on the environment, when
there is Majboori, Munafaqat comes in. When we have no
control on the environment we are not responsible for a
different reaction, we had offered a meal, but if some
one did not accept it is not our fault. We cannot control
the entire environment, but there is a middle way, the
solution is and that is what people say if we are
committed to one Idea for a long interval , than we start
slowly acquire an environment conducive to our Khayal.
We make our environment conducive to our Khayal, if we
are using poetic language, we will get similar company
slowly but surely. As long as we are committed to a
Khayal (idea/thought) by the Kudrat(Grace of the
Mighty), we will start attaining similar ideas, events and
people in the outside world aiding our Khayal. If we are
not sincere, with our Khayal, then we will lose, otherwise
things get settled down. Until our desire is inside the
circle of our Khayal we will no be disturbed, it is our
desires the steps we take which produces an environment
of evil. If we are sincere with our Khayal, our steps will
take us in the right directions, but it is the desires which
bring in the wrong direction. Almost there is 99% chance
we will be among the righteous, in our own environment,
but if we are overtaken by desire, then being under the
influence of desires we will be in the wrong company.
Question: Does khayal feeds on the nourishment

provided by the Hum Khayal (friends having same or
similar thought), or is a Divine Gift or an endowment.
Answer: A khayal is an endowment, and the Zaat which
endows it also nourishes, protects and takes care of the
Khayal, there is no contradiction among the three, will
be better nourished among the same group. But a Khayal
can also get instructions from a different medium, like
someone who asked Socrates, where you got Wisdom, he
said from the fools, whatever they did I did not do. So
when a Khayal becomes established, which ever valley and
alley it passes through it will eat only that fruit which
suites it own Khayal. It is said about storks (though not
established scientifically) that when it is provided
adulterated milk, it leaves the water in the milk. Some
birds only pick up the pearls, so a person who has once
established an idea, will pick pearls too, whatever
environment it may get in. As environment is similar in
most circumstances.
A few days back my son was sitting with his grandfather,
the grandfather said to my son, you have read about the
biography of Quaid e Azam by Fatima Jinnah, what
lesson did you learn, my son said he did not accept the
desire of his father, who wanted him to learn commerce,
and he instead studied Law so he did not fulfill the
desires of his father. So when one is on a Lahaj (path),
if one learns something, he will learn that which suits
him out of everything else. The grandfather said he
changed because he could not afford to study commerce,
but my son only remembered that he opposed his father.
In this world those who suffer , the righteous people who
face difficult path, full of thorns and sufferings, one of
the observation is that whoever tread this path face
opposition, the other observation is that those that were
faced with difficulties were great souls.
So when the Khayal once gets consolidated whatever
valley it travels through, although it will face injury ,
injustice, suffering but will never die, until reaching its
destination, Maqam e Maqsood and Maqam e Takhliq and
Ina Lillahah Wa ina Alahi Rajaoun.
Question: In the journey towards Saluk , there is one
ambiguity the desires are always there, unless it is all
under Allah Subana-hu Will.That is not possible for
everyone , on the other side there is a Khayal.
Answer: Desires will be there no doubt, but there is a
constant Hijrat towards Saluk, the attributes of
Jism(body) and its demands are called desires, and the
demands of Ruh are called Khayal. We gradually dip in
the desires, it is not that desires do not exist, they do
exist, but even after its existence, we try to bypass
them. Quran says too that there are the parameters of
desires of Lust, gold, women, horses, do exist, personally
I think that as the Khayal gets stronger, the desires
start to die down, or at least start to become less
attractive. When a stronger Khayal becomes a part, of
one life, the desires become irrelevant, as an example it
is the desire of the new born children to drink the
mothers milk for ever, until we divert them to other
food. Similarly one fond of a higher Khayal, or a table
laid with the food of Khayal will be attracted away from
desires. When we teach a boy to play carom board they
will not play other game, or when we teach them to play
cricket they will not play Guli danda (a sport played in
the Indian subcontinent with a stick and bails).
Question: How do we know something has become a
Hijab, as Sufia say even the desire of Qurb becomes
a Hijab.
Answer: That is a metaphysical matter, until now we are
talking about desires, body and Ruh, that is about Tarq e
Aula, meaning if there are two pious feelings we desire
the best out of two. If there is Khayal e Qurb and the
Mehboob which do we select. Until now we are talking
about desires.
It’s about developing the taste, what is called Tazkya e
Nafs is a Zauq about piety, your taste has so developed
that you dislike impiety. It is about maturity.
What I was taking about is a matter of maturity, as an
example children who have a deficiency of calcium and
vitamin D , eat earth to quench their desires but not a
sane person, we can consider earth as wajudi activity.
Desires are always there. All we do is postpone our
desires for the higher path. A law of Neurophysiology
states that when a nerve impulse travels through that
nerve repeatedly, a phenomenon is developed we call
facilitation, a nerve impulse passing through a center
again and again will develop diligence, and the other
phenomenon is called disused atrophy, when we do not use
a limb with time it dies down. So is the case with desires,
the less we use it will shrink, and the more we exercise a
desire it will grow.
Question: I am talking about Naik Khwaishat ( good
desires).
Answer: Then desire is a different category; for good
intentions the word is Tamanna.
The word desire has a negative connotation which hinders
in the activity and development of the Ruh, for the word
Tarq a Aula, as the Sufia say, when we have a choice
among two feelings of piety or choice, we select the
better one or the superior one. Quran says ‘what is the
best invest in that’
Question: Usually people who use a part of Quranic
verse to diminish the status of the Great Prophet
Sallallalahu alaihi Wassallam.Instead of arguing we
should bring forth, knowledge which enhances the
Shan (status) Prophet Sallalalahu alaihi Wassallam.
Answer: This is a degree of Irfan, Maqam Irfan, I
remember Hazrat Wasif sahib R.A saying what kind of
Ummati is that who is discussing knowledge about the
Prophet , how knowledge he had, this is unfortunate ,
those who have less Irfan will do such activity, even a
mathematician entering a discussion having a material
worldview will have such ideas getting entangled in time
and view , when my friend went to do ummra, he was met
by those who said, how can call the Nabi the cause of the
Universe, though Prophet Adam was the first, so people
having the kharaji worldview what is there crux, there
crux would be applying Quran on the deliveral of the
Quran.
Question: At our level we do not have a problem, but
these people give references of the Quran and
sunnah, its is not our personal problem, but fear the
loss of others.
Answer: It is said a group of people came to meet Hazrat
Nizam deen Aulia R.A from Afghanistan, and said to him ,
that it is heard there are 300 ayat, in praise of Muala
Ali, on which Hazrat Nizam deen Aulia replied, you say
there are 300 verses , I say there are 6686 ayat in his
praise.I can prove it you,
In the time of Prophet hood some people came from Iran
with about 20 or 25 questions to validate the claim,there
ulema told them that if the answer to these questions be
given would mean the claim to be true, and met Hazrat
Ali R.A, on the way, they were asked by him as to the
purpose of their visit. On being told, he replied to all the
20 or 25 questions and to their bewilderment they said
are you the Prophet of Islam.He replied I am just a
cobbler for the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallallam. So
it is ridiculous to argue about the verses.People who know
the meaning of these words stop at Shere Ilm, the
ladder of Shere Ilm is so high.
Quran is Maaqalma a dialogue between the Mehboob and
Mohib, it has to be viewed in that perspective.
Questionaire: The path to Irfan is love.
Answer : If the Niyah is wrong every step leads to
ignorance, there was a Manazara some time ago among
two school of thoughts , on a question about whether the
Prophet Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam knew about the
hidden knowledge or not, one person said, I am so happy
that all the night I was reading kalam e pak to find means
of Praising the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam and
you were reading it to diminish his status.I would
Quran belongs to the One, it is a prerogative of the One
and His beloved. If we can get blessing and guidance is
the best thing.
Question : When someone argues with you about the
status of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam.
Answer: We should if we have an antidote, we should

express it.If we have forum like a facebook or a group we
should express the best we know. Love is not understood
by arguments.
Spiritually today should be better than yesterday. If we
have argument with a friend or a relative, we should try
to see how we can wipe it. Improving our economy or
improving our business is also a duty, a Momin should be
strong, but spiritually and morally is the first priority.
The effect of Noble Quran, is first of the Batin. As
Quran says ‘What a man earns or what a women earns is
his or her’ refers to the spiritual.
The Khariji thought is fundamentally Fitna and Fasad,
the removal of the role of the intermediary and medium
and interpreting the Noble Quran leads to
differentiation and interpretations and sects. As long as
we are firm on the verses reminding the one who brought
the message.
We see the Sufia have no sects, the sects are the
thought of the Khawarij, history as it was interpreted
gave rise to sects.
The lesson we learned is never ask for Deedar, ask for
Naqsha Qadam, if we get on the path and Naqsha
Qadam we will get seerat and kardaar.
So even who have the ability for Deedar too asked for
Naqsha Qadam. Since everyone is accepted there, from
Muslimoon to Arafoon.
From Deedar and Naqsha Qadam, we learn ‘Follow the
Lord and His messenger’.
Khayal is the imamat of words, if khayal is at the right
place, then the words form a straight path, when the
khayal is in Medina, then the namaz will be valid.
The thing is that Qalander is from Qal (inside) and Hal
(outside). Our Qal is outside and Hal is inside at the
most. Where Khiraat is born, Qalandar are born before,
what we think in our wisdom, is known to the Qalandaar
they are there before on our wisdom can reach it, both
in range and expansion our intellect and wisdom can
reach.
It is one to one, the khoj (discovery) of the inner being,
once the news is received only then the other books are
opened. Otherwise those books remain closed, even after
opening. One to one means talib and matloob. Mureed aur
Murad.
Questions: Does one finds the weakness in a mehfil,
what we lack, the mismatching.Never satisfied even
after performing the deeds.
Answer: Are you talking about the Khoj of your journey.

Question:No, I am talking about the weakness in
reference to the Murshid. Though the mismatching is
there. Looking into our character. When we compare
our self with the Murshid.
Answer: The itaba kardar Murshid makes it Hamrang.
Question: Is this the journey of Khoj(discovery).
Answer: The discovery starts when a matloob comes in,
otherwise one thinks oneself to be big intellectual.When
one disovers a matloob one looks at the mirror. First is
love and then there is Khoj(discovery). First I thought I
should be known , then the creation was started. The
discovery of God starts after love.
Question: What is Khoj(journey). How do I find
myself? Am I on the journey of discovering?
Answer: The mystery is Mehboob and Matloob. It is to be
attaining Hamrang.One can only find oneself.
Question: Is the Matloob not thinking he has not
attained satisfaction.
Answer: It is the Hijrah from Meen to Tum, to forget
oneself. To forgot about one self and remember the
other.
Question: Does one gets complacent, the best way to
get out is to follow another. A doubt is created
whether one missing some color of the other.
Answer: The way out is to get out of one own deeds, and
follow the other, during a trip to Hajj, people say when
they reach the Haram, they leave their own Amal,(acts)
and forget everything.
Question: Whoever discovered one self, he got out of
himself.
Answer: Who ever discovered the mystery of a
Qalandaar, actually discovered him self as said by Baba
Bulleh Shah.
Question: This lamp is lighted from the one who has
discovered himself, and not by doing a Phd.
Answer: If this had been so easy, then there would have
been no need of sangats or mehfils, everything would
have been in the books. When patients come to me the
educated ones, say Dr Saheb we gave Amoxil to our
children, if this would have been so easy, there would
have been no need of doctors, to convert and make what
is written into practical form we need a guide. The book
of Tasawwuf opens only when a guide is there. When a
friend of ours set on this path after reading Allama Iqbal
he said, about him he looks like our Pir brother. There
are two ways, batini and khariji, the way of batini is to
look for the guide of the book and that of khariji is to
read a book. The path other then kharij will reach
towards batin, the Sawad azam gradullay moves to
Tasawwuf , as it moves towards the batin and is
attained,after muslimoon to mominoon to arafoon. The
other will make one doubtful. In other words one path is
Takfeem e Adamiyat and other is Takfir e Adamiyat.
Question: In a kingdom there different degree of
status, like for the courtiers.An infrastructure was
build by God. Would not be complete until, Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam.
Answer: The paradise which has been promised to the
momineen is to be opened by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wassallam. This is attained at the Darbars of the Aulia
Allah. When there is order we see that there is Makeen.
After Firsh to give meaning to Arsh , the Waqai Miraj
was organized.
We started this mehfil by Waqai Miraj, the question
arises though the Maqam e Qurb status of the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam was from Roz Azul, then what
is rationale in time and space of a movement of Waqi e
Miraj, the Suraat e Adam or the dress of Bashirayaat is
so dignified, we see the meeting in the dress of
Bashirayaat, showing the extreme dignity of this dress.
That the Creator met its creation in this surat and
seerat, the other ways of saying is to attain Malaqoo
Rabahoom we need to attain same suraat and seerat.
Sufia called Suraat e Adam as Surat e Mohammadi, So
we can say to attain the highest pedestal is to attain
Suraat e Mohammadi.Like we call mohammadi bestaara.
Behind any story there is the story of love, and universe
is also a story which cannot be completed without Miraj.
Waqai e Miraj was to give Miraj to the Ummat.
Question: We try to cross our lines to get illumination
which is wrong, should wait, although its said sending
Darood Sharif, its is known to open up the Murad of a
person.
Answer: Definitely it does not apply here, every Ummati
should say Darood, even standing in line at the some point
in life, one gets direction and guidance and the journey
becomes easy. Even a student of primary will be
benefiting, so would a university student, Darood Pak is a
continuous Amal, which is a theory constantly repeating,
and Maqam e Irfan is practical.
Irfan is Marifaat e Mohammadi. Maqam e Irfan Zaat,
what is the Maqam e Zaat.In a qualitative way is
different Maqam, . La makan means maqam Zaat, App ne
maqam zaat ka Ilaan kya.In a scholastic way and a
scholarly way its has a different Maqam, aref se Anal
Haq
Question: Is our constructs not right about God.
Lamakaan and Makaan how do we understand it and
define it. Arsh and arsh a maula.
Answer: Arsh is not a maqan , what is the meaning of
Arsh will be our own definition.
Question : Are our own mental schemes and
constructs wrong about God?.
Answer: Certainly as the Sufis say we cannot constrict
God for want or lack of our own perceptions, that Zaat is
such we cannot point to it. Arsh is a Makan, we cannot
constrict God to Arsh, we do not know the exact
meaning, not taking it to be a platform., if we restrict
God to Firsh, then what is Dunya, when the conception of
distance is understood, then things begin to clear up.
Question : Is not the whole Qainaat( world) a single
Zaat?.
Answer: Dervish say Noor is one, Zaat is one, this Nur
has two dimensions one is Mawrai e Zaman aur Makan, the
other is on a trip to Zaman aur Makan. That which is
Mawrai e Zaman aur Makan, is in Tanzih in the state of
Subhan, has not the experience what is to be an Insaan.
The other state has experience of Insan throughout.
When the concept of Tanziaat is removed then the
concept of Lamaakaan and Makaan disappear. Does not
belong to Makaan, then who belongs to the Makaan, can
not be two, or Ghair. Zaat is one, Allah is noor us
samawaat e fil Arz, in bayan is noori, in experience not
noori, in bayan there is a hint, when there will be bayan
there will be duality.
Question: What is the purpose of His visit? He is
already everywhere and knows everything. Kama
Haqooho Idrak is already there, then what is the
purpose of getting out?.
Answer: He constructed everything for Himself to be
known if everything is there then what is purpose of
creation if everything is Tanzih and no tasbeeh, then
Question: God has 99 names, Al Qareeb has no pair,
not dur(distance) , is close, when why its is difficult
to find Him?.
Answer: That Zaat does not want Qurb e Maqaami , but
Qurb Manwi, for Qurb Manwi is the real difficulty, if a
child performs prayers in Kaaba, has apparent blessings,
but will not have the status of a dervish, Zahri qurb is
there, but Qurb e Manwi is the goal, what kind of
qurbat, what is the feelings behind the qurbat, is not
mathematical, cannot be this is equal this, but an actual
experience, there is a crude example, like of a father,
The concept of fatherhood wont be easily understood,
until he goes through the process of the physical
fatherhood,( seeing his baby being born , being
dependent on him etc, creates the love of the child.)He
will not understand the meaning of the word ‘The
compassion of Parents’.
The more we practice Itaba e Mohammadi the closer we
come to God. Although He is the creator of an ant, lion,
fly
Question: There is the Akas of Zaat, degrees of
Akas. What is in His knowledge is created. Insan is
also a creator, what comes in his mind is created. Can
we talk about that in respect of God also?
Answer: Please rephrase it.
Question: How do we negate the concept of Nazul.
When there was nothing there was Zaat e Rab
Alameen.
Answer: No the concept of Nazul is not being negated,
nazul awal etc, these seven heavens being being the
example of Hasal e Nazul. This concept is already in
the concept of Wahad ul Wajood.
Questioner: Maybe I am not saying it rightly.
Answer: It is Hallool.
Question: Yes it is hallool.
Answer: That is Hallool, inspite of Nazul, the Suraat is
there fixed, but the light is being radiated or Nazul
everywhere.Like the sun is there fixed, but its heat is
being radiated all over being in the condition of Nazul.
Question: When it comes to chapter of Nazul things
are not definable, when it’s fixed its definable. As
long in the fixed position. In Nazul its not
illustratable.
Answer: Where do you feel a paradox in?
Question:When the process of creation started, when
there was nothing there was God.
Answer: When we come to grid and paradigm of
Wahaadat ul Wajood the chapter of Taqlikh (creation) is
not applicable, does not exist. Creation is about Dori
(distance).In the paradigm of Taqlikh (creation) and
Maqhlooq . On reaching the station of Wahaadat ul
Wajood every where there is His Jalwa.
Humair sahib quoting Wasif Ali Wasif R.A say ‘As He is
far but He is very near, like the sun which is very far, but
its heat is very near, all we need is His Jalwa, Zaat se
Zaat ka Wasal Insaan se Bahar hai, us ka jalwa ka talash
ka wasal hosakta hai, Hazoor e Pak Sallallahu Alaihi
Wassallam ke zaat uss ka saab see bahtrain jalwa hai tum
talaash karta jao jalwa khud he hasaal e talaash rahtaa
hai.
Dilbar is not created, heat is the manifestation of the
sun, and everywhere is nazul e nazul.
Islam is a religion calling for Tawhid , to reduce the
separation. Islam is step one, as we step up the doors to
Marifaat will be opened. As the chapters of Marifaat will
be opened the Doori (separation) will be reduced.
Tawhid is closing of the separation between Mohib and
Mehboob.
Whoever finds Baqa there, will find Baqa inside,
otherwise if one thinks of Fana there, finds Fana inside.
One step further and the next category.
Question: One feels and wants communication,
practically communicating. Heart wants to communicate
with Marqaz Tajaliaat, at our level.
Answer: If we understand Haqeet e Aula from the
chapter of tanzih is Dua(prayers). If one wants Qurb
with Zaat e Mehboob then turn from Dua to Darood.
Question: Will there be time when communication will
be possible. What even in our natural life we are not
able to communicate. In the next world we have full
hope of the introduction.
Answer: I have faith when God grants the wishes of the
worldly desires, why will He not grant the direct
communication. The Zahir and Batin is same for Him
The delay is due to cleaning of the pot, cleaning it again
and again, so that when the Jalwa is radiated, it is clear
and readable. That is why this chapter in opened up in
this world, for others the chapter of Kitab e Mohabbat
is not even introduced to them. Those who have read the
preface the whole book will be opened.
So in this chapter waiting is also the start of an event,
since any event is started before it happens, as some one
who is to be granted paradise, even being in the grave is
on the journey to paradise.
Again what Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A remind us.
Manzil hai bahut dur magar husna Taqarab
Wasif teraa Qadmoon ka nishanaat meen gum hai
Actually to be lost in the footprints of Nishanaat is the
Manzil, to attain Itaba is the Manzil.Husna Taqarab can
easily be side tracked.
Firaq and wisal is very eloquently described by Hazrat
Wasif Ali Wasif R.A , wasal is till Zaat and Firaq is till
the whole Universe. There is not a big separation
between faraq and wasal in the hereafter. Those who
have traveled on the path of Irfan, have been made to
travel through the path of Firaq, the broken heart has
provided the job of the physician.
Question: In the paradigm of Wahaat ul Wajud Firaq
does not exist, when He is everywhere then the
question of Firaq does not exist.
Answer: Firaq is adam e Irfan.
Question: husna intizar ke baad.
Answer: When an Insaan (Human) start to travel on this
path and starts to wait, he starts to experience events
and happenings in his personal live, beyond cause and
effect (beyond space and time, beyond physics) according
to his Zaraf, all the events which come across are the
menu of the Ruh, sustaining the wajud to provide it
strength , when an insaan becomes kiblah ruh, all the
events( inner and outer happenings in their daily lives,
treating them beyond space and time, and no longer as
superstitions) sustain his Khayal.
Question: Does every Intizaar (waiting) succeed.
Answer: Does every intizaar (waiting) succeed, yes all
intizaar is successful until one lifts the veil or the cover
of waiting, until one lifts the sheet of waiting, those who
lose hope, every waiting is successful for one who waits,
one our friends said, I have been waiting for 1 ½ to 2
years. I told him only 2 years, you should wait for 200
years at the least. One who is Muntazar is Ba- Wafa,
one who is in waiting is in Wafa. One is who be-wafa will
leave, saying this is mere talk been waiting for so long. If
one sees something outside or not is a separate issue,
changes occur inside that wasal happens, things of a
genetic and chemical nature start to change inside, (his
waiting engulfs him with the fire of love and tears). So
waiting is always successful, if we define success as such.
Question: When things happen in the life of someone
beyond cause and effect
Answer: If we observe the life of a Salik, we see that his
life is usually beyond the formula of cause and effect.
The formula of two plus two does not apply. Ordinary
people get money and spend, this person if does have
some money, he wont be able to make much. The chain of
cause and effect is usually broken this person is on a
path of Dervish. What the leader of the Dervish said, ‘I
found God by the breaking of my desires’ by Imam Ali
R.A. Mostly those people who have their lives broken, are
on the right path. Otherwise for Pharaon and Haman,
apparently succeeding. Those who have the passion and
fire of love in their hearts. their lives are different. It is
not that the are being punished, it is the Malamaat in
their lives which guide them. This is an Ummat of Ashiq,
those who face more turmoil, and dangers, who are those
of the loved ones and are beaten more. People say this is
due to their faults. Once Ashfaque saheb went to China,
there were thousand waiting in line to meet Mao, when my
turn came, Mao said some words in Chinese. The
translator said Mr Mao is saying Pakistan is a great
nation, relating to an incidence about the Chinese
ambassador in karachi once telling him that once he was
playing bridge with a Pakistani, he saw him again and again
leaving and cleaning his face with water, so the
ambassador asked him why don’t you drink, instead of
washing your face with water, The ambassador advised
him to drink as no one was seeing on this the Pakistani
told him that he is fasting. Mao said those nations who
have self denial are great nations. We have partial
greatness in our nation which are scattered, a Chairman
will come who will integrate them
Questioner: Those who love God are subjected to
more trials, as one who claims love then the
sufferings are also a part of the test.
Answer: These trials are on those who claim to love their
Creator. A nation which claims the love of the Creator
face more trials. It is quoted from Imam Jaffer Sadeq
R.A a person said to one of the aima pak, I love you, to
which he said then prepare for poverty and trials. Those
of us who love Ahl e bayt then trials and tribulations
come as water coming down the hill. The real lover is not
afraid.
Aj tak mehboob ke jafa na

Question: I remember a saying of the Prophet
Sallallahu alaihi Wassallam, , ‘Those who saw me
actually saw me that shaitaan cannot come in my
personality’. In context of wahaadat ul wajud he was
the best.
Answer: A saying of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wassallam. ‘Those who saw me saw Allah’ meaning in
dream, mushaida, makashwa if some one saw me should
not get in doubt. If someone see in the Murshid the same
depends on the salik, someone who got attached to a
sahib irfan, could not reach his de detination, depends on
his claim, of reaching the destination. Kharq e zaat e peru
haq ra yaq na deed… ….. The traditional seats of
mysticism have used there mureed to follow, the earlier
claims to propagate and use them.
Question: The Murshid sees the mureed and develops
there character, this is one way of polishing the
paimana, when the Jalwa reaches, it through the same
Pyala, though the Jalwa is of the same Zaat.
Answer: There would be a difference in the intensity or
voltage, but not in the inherent properties. Like water in
a glass has the same property as water in a lake.
Once Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A sahib was asked if it is
alright to eat with the Ahl e Kitab, to which he said it is
ok to eat. The questioner said well theses Ahle e Kitab
and that Ahle e Kitab were different. He replied well
these Muslims and those Muslims are not same either.
Question: Dr sahib the Waqai e Miraj looks as it
happened today.
Question: The Raz(mystery) of this event will keep on
unfolding till the day of Judgment, can be explained in
the true sense only by the Baraati’s (wedding guests).
Once at Shah Fazal shah sahib R.A residence, the Waqai
e Miraj was being discussed, along with Ashafaque sahib,
Hanif Ramay sahib, the intellectuals, when they left Sain
Fazal Shah sahib R.A asked what were they discussing, on
being told he said, then ask those who went, the
Baraati’s. When a delegation goes abroad a whole brigade
goes along, the cook, the protocol officer, each one gets
a different protocol, a room reserved for each. When my
father went to China along with last Nawaz Sharif
government, a big delegation with my father as an
educationist, he said I was treated as if I was the only
one in the delegation getting excellent treatment, on
what to eat, what sites to visit.
Question: What are the elements in Khidmat, what
are the expectations.
Answer: Kidhmat without love cannot be expected,
without expectation, otherwise it’s a business with
condition, and what did you give me that I should give in
return. Mohabbat is the only chapter which is without
reward. Otherwise it is tijarat(business). Khidmat is of
the Maqhlooq, Mohabaat is of the Mohabbat Walaa there
is no desire of any reward. Doing for someone. When the
muttaqeen help the poor they say we do not need
anything in return. In khidmat there has to be a
reference of the Zaat. Why am I doing this, because of a
Zaat. In which there is a desire for reward, it looks as it
is without love.
Question: Those verses and hadith for a person of
Allah,if that Zaat is one and a purdah.
Answer: For the others, for those we do not want to help
we say, we are not capable, if someone tells us to use our
influence, working for a department, if we do not want to
help, we say we do not know them. So it’s about us and
the other. For Ghair it is about bashariyaat, for our own
its Nur. ‘No one will bear the burden of the other’ for the
loved ones it’s Shafaat. It is all about yaqeen, a formula
according to which whoever has more yaqeen has more
shafaat, for 100% Shafaat need 100 yaqeen. Hazrat Ali
R.A said do not explain my fazail before the other. The
fazail are of the Zaat. The more yaqeen we will have on
the Zaat, the more we will move away from the
mechanism of Seefat. If we only have yaqeen on the
Saffaat and not on the Zaat, we will remain in the
mechanism of the Seefat. If we neither have yaqeen on
Zaat and Shaffat then be trust only the amaal. Hazrat
Wasif Ali Wasif R.A said ‘The tragedy is neither having
amaal and doubting the Shaffat.’

Question:- Khaabar ka daam ka daam, here khaabar

means one person receives some information, does not
know what the information is about, a batini(inside the
soul) news, we interpret meanings ourselves, there is
a hurdle here, what is the importance of khaabaar.?
Answer: Khaabar here is not simply an information but a
specific term, looking at the important points, in the
books of seerah(Life of the Prophet) there is a title
besides other titles of the Prophet Sallalahu Alahi
Wasallam, called Mukhbaar e Sadeq, in Quran it is
written ‘Ama yata saboon anin na abil azeem’, ‘ They
ask about the nawa e azeem a big news’in Arabic called
nawa, in Quran it is written ‘nabi abadi’, ‘my nabi my
slave’, here khaabar means, a very important question
indeed, here khaabaar does not mean about a zahaari
nizaam the work which is being done and assigned outside
by science, here khaabar means having relations with
Aalaam e Ghaaib, and Aalaam e Amr, a certainty, even
someone being at the pedestal of khaabaar has a unique
standing, that we say so and so person is standing at the
pedestal of Khabbar, here the source of acquiring
khaabaar(news) is not the five senses, if a scientist
talks it is not khaabaar whatever its interpretation, here
we are taking in terms of Tasawwuf, here khaabar is a
specific term, when Bale Rehman says something, it is a
khaabar, or if Maulana Rum says something it is a
khaabaar, and our murshid says in his introduction
‘khaabaar ka daam ka daam’ it is a news. In the Quran in
Sura Yasin ‘Qula shain ataina fe imamun mubin’ Every
thing has a measure with the mamul e Mubin’. Like we
have kitab ul mubin, Here Khaabaar means the relation a
person has with mamul Mubin, the source being the
person has a relation with imamul mubin, because he has
a contact with the Rab ul Alameen, or can read kitab ul
mubeen. These are formulas like in science, there too the
Creator is the same, there too formulas are being
unveiled, here in mystic enumerations we cannot verify
and have to depend on the words of the recipient
delivering the news (khaabaar). There is no test or litmus
test here other with time, not instantaneously, if he is
saying there is a cliff ahead, and one can plunge into it,
only time will tell about its correctness, no one will be
able to see it with eyes, or the senses or science or any
academic means to verify his warnings, only time unveiling
the authenticity of the news about this cliff. Since
Wilaayat (friendship with the Creator) is the hallmark of
the Prophets, as there are kulliyaat about the Prophets
so also about the Aulia ‘Bashiran wa Nazira’ giving glad
tidings and recipient of illuminations being the standard
bearers of the Prophets. Being able and recipient of
khaabaar of being Ba Khaabaar is a blessing, in a be-
khaabaar life to be able to have news, is an Ihsan e awal
of maanzar, the khabriyaat you are talking about is
something else those who receive it are rewarded with
Eternal life. Bekhaabaar is a life lead by the living dead,
we should reflect upon the Khaabaar (news). The one who
is giving the khaabaar is like the Moon reflecting the
light of the Sun a news about the sun , not just a
transmission but a boaster, but a transformational entity,
you can say khaabaar or the news is linked with
Mushaida.
Question: Those who are given a khaabaar those who

receive it we can see had the access, it we can
access the Source being Absolute Uunseen, if there is
no access to the source of the news and the news is
for the whole world, having nothing in it for me, but
there is nothing for me.
Answer: This access is not a physical access, but a

communication with the consciousness of another
conscious, a communication with the Complete Being,
sometimes talking about a person as Pohancha hoa
(having a great access), example someone who has just a
zahir(outward) can buy a ticket and reach Medina, but till
a zahir ,we cannot call him pohanchoa, a real pohanchoa is
having access to the khayal might not have left Lahore
physically, but having access to the khayal , the other
name being Islam, but has access to the paigham e
rehmaat, the communication of five senses is one way,
the other is two way, in communication of senses we read
Darud Shariff knowing well we are being heard, in the
other words having yaqin on the zaat and being part of
Iman , but not having experience, but when we have an
experience that we are being heard and have access and
attention, then that is a khaabaar, Maqaam Ihsaan,
praying to the Creator as He is seeing you, the station of
Ihsaan. Everyone prays but there is a difference, of
being present physically and the huzari e Dil, the
obedience of the heart, in easy words we can say, when a
child is reading 2 multiply 2 is 4, or 2 multiply 4 is 8, rote
memorization, but have a different meaning able to
comprehend, should know the real mathematical
comprehension of how 2 multiplied by 2 is 4.
Question: The injunctions of sharia what is the

significance?
Answer: The injunctions of sharia should be performed
and has its own Maqam, with or without understanding,
has its own significance but with getting no khaabaar, or
news, not knowing if it’s accepted or what standing one
has before the Lord of the Universe. You have very easily
said that since not having access to Zaat e Mutlaq or
Khaabaar e Mutlaq things appear theoretical having no
practical significance.
Question: Does not the news not look theoretical?

Answer: Do you know the saying ‘Who ever got the Raz
becomes part of the Raz’ one who is standing at the
pedestal of being the holder of news is part of that news.
We read Quran, having nightly reading, but what is that
Maqam, when a person heard the ayaat, ‘Has that time
not come, when the hearts of the Momin did not shatter
in the Name of the Lord’ ‘Wa iza tuliyat’ . We hear and
read one thing all the times every day, but at one moment
at a certain period the frequency in a certain state of
consciousness hears a saying, or hears a voice, and says I
trembled. While being of no significance for the other.
Haza asaeteul awaleen. Here the khaabaar is (the news)
the khaabaar of Marifait e Haque. Having same Quran
and having the same ayaat, but at a certain time, the
same ayaat changes the heart of the recipient,
destroying the fabric of the mind, creating an earth
quake in the heart, being same ordinary people, in the
same morning or an ordinary day, same words, same sun,
start giving different meanings. The curtain of physics
starts to fall, like in love, an ordinary face, an ordinary
being, becomes a doomsday for him for whom the curtain
of that consciousness drops, taking away my breath, when
an ordinary person passed through the corridor, but a
different news for him. The news is a specific term not
information but an awareness in the chapter of ignorance.
Question: Different people receive different news

from the Zaat, different people with different
medium get the news from the same Zaat.
Answer: Everywhere it’s the Jalwa Zaat, whether of
Samaat or Aawaz or face or eye.
Question: Is it in reference to a certain medium?
Answer: One holding the bowl should not be the chooser,

not taking advantage of the charity of the donor, not
specifying to ask for the whole, taking a cross check,
because having heard that the khayal is not a cross
check, it is not for him to specify, as the mohib (lover)
does not create a formula for the beloved, for the
khaabaar(news) at this maqam(station) the other name
is Jalwa.Not an information from the information cell,
but a complete Jalwa e Zaat in other words a
Wardaat(happening), this khaabaar (news )is the Naba
Al azeem, sleeping with a big comforter of ignorance,
this news is the falling of this comforter, the sliding of
this comforter, a Greek philosopher (Plato) describes
this in an episode of few persons in a cave, where they
see the light coming from an opening and falling on a wall
with shadows appearing thinking this as the reality
outside, forced to look at the wall. Thinking the shadows
to be the reality, assuming the shadows to be facts
falling on the wall to be the Haqiqat. Using this
allegorical story will try to explain my point, instead of
looking at the wall a person turns their face towards the
light, they will become Ba-Khaabaar towards the light.
Because then he will be able to show those looking at the
wall the true picture and the true reality, saying what you
are looking at shadows is based on assumptions, and
conjectures, you have been trying to assimilate the
reality from the shadow on the wall, while I am actually
seeing a person, with what color, what height he
possesses. The one who is attuned to a khaabaar is left
with a collection of the parts, which the people looking at
the wall do not possess. One who is possessed with
khaabaar is possessed with the pieces of the reality,
while those calculating by looking at the wall are devoid
of all the pieces.
Question: How do we recognize the medium, or will

the medium recognize us, or someone will tell that
there is a bowl, how do one hold a bowl? Where to
sit?
Answer: In other words you are trying to know, how a

person who is a wayfarer finds the murshid, or how a
murshid recognize a traveler.
Question: When the reality appears what the tool is,

will the murshid tell, when the Haqiqat comes across
as a Jalwa ?
Answer: It is built in, is a genetic pre-disposition, some
are taken aback by samaa(voice), a tendency connected
with creation.
Question:, I have question in reference to the above

discussion , when we read the ayaat.
Ha-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of

the Quran and none but Allah (Alone) knows their
meanings].

the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
believers.
I have a question when we sit in a Mehfil or read the

Quran, we have wudu we go out of the masjid and see
the signs of the Lord everywhere, in the heavens and
the earth, in the noble book should not we have wudu.
all the times though hard to keep.
Answer: You mean when we read the Quran written on a
book after doing the wudu, and when we read the Quran
in Afaaq (Universe) and the verses in it, should we study
them with having a wudu.
Question:- Allah says there are so many signs in the

heavens and the earth that you ignore and pass by
without reflecting in them, when you get a khaabaar,
even Iqbal R.A says that Kalam is better then
Samma(eastern litany), have a genetic predisposition
or exposure, reading Jalil ul Kalam, Dahqiq ul Kalam,
reflecting on Allah and his creation, when we get out
of the home, we see the heavens and the earth, with
signs the sun and the moon and we say Subhan Allah,
shouldn’t we try to have ablution.
Answer:-Yes we should keep wudu, it is a castle or an

armor , it is called one of the mystery in the mysteries
of Afaaq(the universe), but while reading the verses in
the universe, here the wudu is of Niyaah, of the koniah ,
because if there will be self-interest involved, no amount
of seeing the sun however big it is or, the moon will not
have the desired message and the results, we see a
scientist being hired by an organization doing research
and developing a cosmetic, motivated by profit and self-
interest and material gain will not achieve the desired
results, will not be stunning, the curtain will not unveil,
for him.
Question: I am talking here about a person who sees
the Jalwa of Allah the Mighty everywhere, not having
a self-interest or is not profit motivated. He reads
the Quran while doing ablution but does not think,
about doing wudu while going out, knowing well that
that the same verses are coming in front of him
again, the ones he just left while reading the Quran?
Answer: Wudu too has a zahir and batin. We should

try to be in the state of ablution.
Question: What is the command for one on whom an

illumination appears as a khaabaar(news)?.
Answer: It is an illumination only once, a lifetime

experience, not a daily lesson, khaabaar like in the case
of Prophet Moses when he fainted only once and not again
and again, ‘Falaama tajalla rabahu lil jabal jalahu
datqan waqarabu musa kaifa’ the same one Jalwa, same
one khaabaar, one tajali, quenching ones thirst for a
lifetime, watering his being.
Question: What are the further extractions, do they

raise the iman and take further towards Haq( Truth)
what when a person sees a plant being nourished and
fed by an entire universe? (Being Holographic in
essence) what lessons can he draw further?
Answer: The news is the same the observation in the

plant, but further manifestations of the same message
and its particular nature working out in the growth of a
plant, flowers, and the universes, not discovering
something new, already illuminated in his batin (inside)
not discovering anything new with his discoveries he is
making as a scientist. The mushaida further strengthens
his being.
Question: So we should be in the state of ablution?
Answer: Yes we should, a big status, a castle, many

mysteries, to make sleep a prayer, it is said remain with
wudu, the practical way being to keep doing it again once
it is broken, wherever possible do it again. Because the
niyah with wudu, the intention with ablution, those of
eyes, tongue, will prevent him to go towards meel dirt,
which would break the ablution, if you see diet pattern of
those who maintain their wudu, not breaking. This is what
the Sufia say, that whatever we are doing should become
our
Questions: Are they the Manazils of Junoon?
Answer: The first benefit of junoon or jazb or what they

do is to remove the intricacies of logic and reason, they
stop effecting him, when logic and philosophy only
becomes an ordinary book, what we said just now about
khaabaar is a chapter of jazb, outside the chapter and
domain of khird, in the terminology of physics, those on
whom the chapter of quantum physics is opened, for them
particle physics becomes secondary.
Question: Are not people interpreting a different

meaning on various aspects of our culture, like inamal
amalo binayyat , some interpret accordingly to their
point of view, like it is not a sin to listen to music,
what is their fault as they were told like that, like
what is the status of music?
Answer: One person who is not doing the right deeds and
his intentions are good where does he stand? You are an
attorney should know how to interpret a big article ,
‘inamal amalo binayaat ‘To differentiate between nifaaq
and iman’, the same deed, a good and bad deed depends
on intention, not taking about the secular deeds if there
is self-interest involved and the intention is not good,
‘Amal o salahaat’ the ranking comes after amano, after
accepting the Iman, otherwise the chapter of niyaat and
amaal e salaha there is no chapter of niyaah, it does not
exist if he is not accepted Iman, the right deeds come
after no self-interest, listening to music is like driving a
car, whatever work we do is changed to ammal deeds
when there is a niyaah. The word afaal becomes amaal
when the niyah is attached after acquiring Iman. The
chapter of niyah and intention do not exist, otherwise
every activity is a social activity, those who are people of
amano if they listen to music will be alright, after
reciting the kalimah and becoming sahib e Iman, when
they hear the melody of the flute, they interpret that as
the lamenting of the separation. If someone is on the
path of Maulana Rum, will listen to a saaz, will be alright,
when he listened to the flute, he is interpreting the
separation from the beloved, fine for Maulana Rum. If a
person is not on the path of Maulana Rum will listen to
what the emperor Nero would interpret. While Rome
burned he was listening to the flute or the music.
When we think of ammal they have quantity and a

direction like a vector, a direction otherwise will be
scalar, driving a car can have a good or bad purpose, a
good or bad deed, if he is driving to the mosque, that will
be Amal Sallah, Ammal and afaal are separate.
Question: God has given man intelligence and

consciousness, for what purpose?
Answer: God has given humans intelligence to find the
difference between right and wrong, Shujaat sahib this
intelligence is only for the good deeds and applicable only
for me, my deeds whether I am going on the right or
wrong path, not for the other, we do not know what
conditions and state of mind the other is going through,
his kaif and kaifayat , if we understand the other, then
we can say we understand. Using this facility we cannot
map and make decisions about the other. This intelligence
is given to us and not using this faculty on the other and
giving our decision on his behavior, unless we come in his
state
Question: When I go to a preacher and then people

who attain different levels of understanding and
Taqwa, I want to follow them, those who do not come
in our perception are we duty bound to do bayt.
Answer: No it is not Farz mandatory after Tauhid o

Risalat to do bayt on a wali is not a duty.
Question: When something does not come in our

understanding why should we accept unconditionally, a
perception attained by a saintly person. Which does
not come in the domain of our intelligence and logic?
But if one has curiosity, how can one deal with it,
when one does not accept the unseen?
Answer: If there is a curiosity, then the fellowship of
curiosity is also curiosity, when traveling on the path of
curiosity and its fellowship we reach the condition of
inward acceptance. (batini halat). Then the litmus test
will not be necessary, when one is standing outside, those
who have been illuminated will continue on, like children
trying to catch a butterfly get lost from the company of
their friends, pursuing the butterfly, so that the rest of
the company goes away, the collective sense of do and
don’t, will get out of the mob psychology, interest takes
one out from the conventional mind, like children leave
their homes in June and July to play outside in heat,
which a sensible person wont, so the duality of
intelligence and logic is waved and bypassed in the
interest of interest. If we are bewilder by one of our
friends, and wonder how come he is pursuing something
beyond our comprehension in the wilderness where no one
dares, while we are comfortably settled in our ways
holding sensibilities, reason and logic as our guide. The
mold of this person has broken itself clearing all through
the barriers, having conquered the highest peak, in
Malanjaba Swat, where skiing is done, a friend of mine
when he reached the highest peak and saw the whole
valley a panoramic, view fell into prostration. He did not
realize any one was watching; spontaneously bowing, done
only by those who reach the valley of wonder, having
already reached the peak. Accepting His mold of In the
valley of wonder, there is only obedience and not doing an
exercise, for those in do’s and don’ts in the state of logic
and reason, in the domain of logic for them its suggested
to remain in their comfortable life, and exercise
restraint. ‘do not put yourself in danger’ The usual
philosophy is to earn money and save, but one who has
sacrificed everything has crossed the danger line, the
red line. The syllabus of love has no dos and don’ts
‘Yagusuna bil khata’ have only one music, one category,
and not different categories as those in the conventional
state wajib, mustajib etc. This is paradox when we ask a
question in the state of reason, the answer is there is no
need to go any forward any more, complete your duties,
do not let anyone take advantage of you and do not take
advantage of others, earn money and sleep comfortably
at night. The one is the valley of love does not ask how
much to give, for the other has to calculate percent for
cultivated land, 10 % for baraani this percentage, given
direction by the Fiqh, but one with love does not have
any book to guide, all the books finish at that point. He
sacrifices everything.
Question: It is said follow Me( Creator) and His

Prophet. Following the Prophet is following the
Creator, and then what is the difference?
Answer: Where this ayaat is narrated, it is a protocol.

Reading the whole verse ‘ ya zeena alaamo atyulluh’.
Question: Yes followed by accepting the Ulul Amar, in
the verses
Answer: Here a protocol is being narrated. Following the

Creator and the Prophet is followed by Ulul Amar,
amongst you. The Prophet has 1400 years of past, then
there so many books and even writing their names would
take so long, then we are asked to follow the practical
way which is following the Ulul Ammar amongst us.
Question: Many people do regular righteous deeds.

How does Junoon takes form, and ishq turn into
junoon?
Answer: What Junoon does is to find the sahib e ammar,

if there is a sahib e ammar himself calling people
possibly will not pay attention, or follow him as there
could be many events, one being doubt, whether this
person is sahib e ammar, but junoon unravels and
discovers the sahib e ammar, junoon illuminates the
hidden and hide the . The power of character disappears
and hides the big mountains of agony in the life of a
seeker, ocean and deserts, hiding the outside
temperature. We see sahib e maqaam and of the ahle e
khird those of logic , there poetry and philosophy is a
landmark, engaged in debates, but we find sahib e aqaal
logic, themselves advocating Love(junoon) what a paradox.
We give reference about their poetry, like Allama Iqbal
R.A, a great sahib e aqaal, person of reason and logic
narrating and talking about Love and junoon in his
poetry; we see ourselves following those with reason and
logic, themselves following and talking about junoon love,
quiet a paradox.
Observation: Someone asked Iqbal R.A, where you got

the idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims, he
remarked at the tomb of the great saint Hazrat Ali
Hajveri R.A.
Answer: Look where a philosopher Iqbal R.A a beacon for

other philosopher, is following whom?
Question: If someone has junoon tries to use his

energy and strength to be on the right path, the path
enunciated by the Creator and the Prophet. Like in
ordinary life there are objectives and targets but how
about here? How do one forms aims and targets in the
path of wayfaring, where there are no limits, using all
his energy trying to wear the colors of the Creator.
One gets confused where all this ends or what is
maximum height one can attain?
Answer: A fine point not confusing but meant to uplift

the seeker to provide nourishment, ‘ Traveling on this
path do not lose faith, there are no limits and destination
in There are no time frames and milestones to satisfy a
seeker, one has to travel after the other, when a caravan
is traveling a seeker follows the next traveler, in old
times when caravans used to travel to Syria, each camel
was tied to the next, had we asked a traveler if he had
compass, he would say I am following the next traveler
and the next so on to the Ameer e Qaravaan, so it would
not be possible for everyone to keep a compass caravan, a
seeker having no compass would ask the Ameer e
Qaravaan why are you traveling to the east instead of
going south, the leader would tell them there is a
mountain ahead which they would bypass, but the Leader
does not have time for everyone, like in a government
hospital the doctors are doing a fine job in general, but
won’t explain everything to the patient, not having time
for everyone. Even having time does not wont to engage in
discussion, since the public with limited knowledge with a
professional knowledge, would annoy the doctor, why are
you prescribing antibiotic which is harmful, not knowing
the spelling of antibiotic, so do the traveler in the path
cause of Love and interest, not on merit but on their
seniority in the group. ’Rah nardawana shauq’ in the
interest of their passion.
Question: If a professional doctor is not liking the

inquiry of the patient, like in our mehfil you are
Doctor, and we do not know anything might annoy you,
also is kashf ul majoob it is said about Qabz and
Basat and there difference, ‘No one knows or have a
control when it comes and goes without ones wish
having no control’. Wala yaqbazo wa .Like our syllabus
also
Answer: No do not apply the example of doctors here,

since everybody is a patient here. I will be careful to use
the word doctor, as might cause confusion, in Quran
‘Wala hu yaqbuzo’ .He is Allah who can control increase
the diet, rizq does not only means food only, but a khayal
He is the one who can increase and decrease the khayal
in the heart, like the sight in our eyes, since a Sufi has
other meanings being connected to a khayal, is trying to
understand in the context of the kafiyaat e rizq,
whenever He wants can confiscate it and whenever He
wants distribute it. This Mote a Mutliq Zaat (The
Creator) only best know when to open, when and where,
like you will see that when a person gets a lot of money
he gets arrogant likewise in the rizq of kafiaayat is
increased people are misled.
Question: Is this a trail?
Answer: Yes trial in both cases having more and having

less, do not consider zahiri(apparent) increase of money
or food as a favor, where there is no contentment it is a
trail, not considering it as a favor or blessing, where one
has less, and being agitated is a trial, in the translation
of Quran it is written as ‘Sustenance’ one which is
sustaining the musafir is sustained by the khayaal and
his kafiyaat, and the word for Creator is used as the
Sustainer.
Question: There is a confusing problem, when being

allowed to cut a person throat, then why is there a
judgment?
Answer: The word used is Be-izn, Will of the Creator is

a provision, an allowance, according to a law, the word will
is used for being willful willing, although the law exist,
though everyone can cut other throat, a provision which
can be exercised but no the will, according to each a
potential made at the outset of man’s creation. Whatever
is done at the moment is being done by the permission of
the Ultimate Lawgiver, ‘Not even a leaf can move without
the permission of the Creator, there is no law in the
universe that can surprise the Creator.
Question: Then why is there resentment by the

Creator?
Answer: The translation of the word izn being done is

will, it is not a will without permission, praising and
condemning is connected with having been given the
Ifthiar (vice-regency) a property of the created a
mystery depending on the intention(Niyah) (however
small in quantity, there are things predestined and other
open to possibilities, the choice the Creator having all and
the created a small portion).It is the intention, if a thing
is going to happen, and intention is according to the Will
of the Creator will be blessing for him, even the ammal(
deeds) are not to the require standard will pass, and even
if the deeds are very good according to the ordinary laws
of social behavior and not according to the Will of the
Creator, then it will not be acceptable. A new chapter is
opened here, while what I am trying to explain the
meaning of Izn as the tamana, while will means as being
willful, as in the video games the creator of the games
puts thousands of options, predestined by the
possibilities the game programmer puts in. The player will
reach a level which will not surprise him according to the
provision set by the creator of the game, whoever the
champion reaches will not surprise him that is will of the
creator, even going to level from one to two etc.
Traveling on Seerat e Mustaqeem will take one to the
other level. So the created things won’t surprise the
Creator. Not even thought would surprise what to talk
about deeds. What direction we want to move.
Question: Even the satan was given permission?
Answer: Though not the Will of the Creator.
Question: But the control is of the Creator, the books

came to illuminate, the same command, as well the
Answer: The diversity in creation is causing confusion,
light and darkness are both created by the Creator for a
blessing and light following the Will of the Creator, for
those in darkness have the Izn to go whatever quantity.
We use this ayah (Be-iznillah) to mean human reward and
punishment which is not so and the intention. In kiran
kiran surag it is narrated a person enters an orchard and
starts eating the fruit when the owner comes in, to which
the person says’ This orchard is owned by God, and I am
also creation of God’ to which the owner says ‘According
to the second command of God the second person of God
has the hammer which is going to fall on the first person
of God.’ Until Barazk e awal does not occur, the chapter
of good and evil cannot be ascertained as the Creator is
the same, as the evil uses the same arguments, using the
reference of the Creator to do evil, Yazid was using the
ayah and example of Quran to do his evil deeds, so we
need the Kitab Wala will not understand, as the sage say
where there is Ali there is Haq, a friend of the Creator
will tell who is doing merchandise in the name of God, or
good deeds, without a friend of the Creator, we will get
impressed by the other if by reading books only without a
guide and will get impressed, as Yazid was reading the
ayah of Quran too , need the reference of the batin, the
zahir cannot explain good and evil. ‘Kitab kitab wala ka
begair namukumal hai’. Shaitan is not a parallel force
against its Creator, just a creation as any other creation
of the Creator; there is no comparison between a Creator
and the created, a mutinous being, doing its activity by
the Izn (permission) and the strength of its Creator till
the time allotted. Ya yauma ilm waqt maloom till the
allotted time.
Question: If there was no Shaitan would humans not
go astray?
Answer: What do you mean the humans were given
instructions by Prophet; they were not given guidance by
any other.
Question: I mean if one does not stay on the straight

path, will not stay neutral but accept satanic impulses.
Answer: For academic discussion, suppose if there was no

Satan, man is enough to become Satan by himself by
default,
Question: The animal instincts?
Answer: Can activate these instincts whenever he

wants(astagfur Allah) .Yes everyone by default, has
inbuilt tendencies, except the Prophets who by definition
are sin proof. Satan is not a central figure in waylaying
humans, the tendency to be close to the Rab or going
astray is the central point. Like you just quoted. Wa
mamin araza un zakri zaan kam maeshtan ‘Who ever
goes astray from my remembrance and become
neglectful I reduce the blessings and appoint a Satan’
So the first step is taken by the human of being
neglectful, the rest of the steps are implemented later
by God. Example if want to test your son whether he goes
in the right or wrong environment, how do we test by
providing the provision of wrong environment, for if
there was no bad environment, how could someone be
tested. If there is no check there is no concept of a
reward. The person had no choice if there was only good
environment.
So the word Satan you are mentioning is just one of the

choices, as a human is so great he has other options, we
cannot let Satan get on our nerves. When Satan number
one said’ I will cause your people to deviate from the
right and left, was replied ‘ila abad ul mukhleseen’you
will not able to influence and astray my Mukhlas (sincere)
person, If one is in Dara e Ikhlas there Satan does not
roam.
Question: The cell produces light and darkness the

source being same?
Answer: You have opened a new chapter.
Question: By default the chances of getting astray is

more. The world is a jungle where there are vicious
people like animals always ready to attack you and
lead you astray or there are people giving guidance
around . Because a human is usually given guidance
either by a parent, a Divine Grace be-izni Allah a
journey from Hal to Qal.
Answer: It is just one of the choices not having a big
role, since even one leads the path of Satan, can very
easily get rid of him at the next exit by repenting and
coming back. Getting away from Satan is just an act of
repentance , just a repentance away, he is not a hero,
not even a villain but a side character, the real story does
not revolve around Kaidu but around Ranjha.
Question: Qabz meen gudaz aur kahar hai aur basst

meen nawazish aur meharbani , La mahala bashriat ke
ausaf ko fana karna aur nafs ko magloob karna
parwarish aur meharbani sa afzal hai, kyon ka woh
bahut baraa hijab hai. These two states are in control
of God. In qabz there is restriction and anger while in
basast there are rewards and kindness, do not
controlling the basic instincts and crushing them, are
at a higher level of activity then rewards and
sustenance?
Answer: Yes
Question: Is Qabz a hindrance?
Answer: No it is not a hindrance.
Question: When the journey is going on and then it

stops, not knowing if the traveler is going on the true
path?
Answer: One who is on a journey is not a judge of his

deeds and his journey, he cannot
Ascertain his states it is practically impossible to know
how much of the journey is left .Which deed is worthy of
acceptance in the Kingdom of the Lord, until the final
semester, his job is to keep on praying. The only test he
can ascertain is to check whether he is going with the
righteous (soa manzil) or with the manzil so (bad
company), he should then check if he is with the
righteous and in good company, or deviated from the true
path and starts to acquire bad company, then he should
reflect on the type of the caravan and the sangaat..
Question: Is there an example?
Answer: The old example if a person is going with the

Haji’s then the traveler in that caravan should be sure
that he is going to Mecca and is on the right path, and
not going to Somanath( a Hindu temple in India) then he
should stop and reflect.
Question: When we see that in a perfect guide we see

many types of people, good and bad?
Answer: The Rahnamia kamal (perfect guide) is a
universe in themselves, as the universe has good and evil,
Mecca and Somanath, like the Creator of the Universe
has not fired a person of conduct unbecoming, but has
provided sustenance to him. This is the beauty, as we see
thousands of people come to the saints, including people
who are dervaish , insan e kamil , circus holders, sweet
sellers, and those who want to abduct children. But the
greatness consists in the Nizam(system).
Question: The Ahle Kashif can easily discern the

paradigms of Free will, Be izn Allah when a leaf falls
is known to the Lord, why is that?
Answer: They are in the company of the Will (Creator).

They are willfully accepting. They know all the shades of
the Will, even where there is rejection.
Answer: The earlier question is not complete yet, we see
that people of different categories in the same kanqah
and in the company of a saint, we see all kinds and variety
of people, where do we stand among them, there our
localized pocket of sangaat counts and our company
matters, which changes when we change the
sangat(company of the likeminded, like the people of
Shah Alami go and pray, will not have the same feelings
if you pray with them. Kiblah being the same.
Question: When a person is in the state of fana, is

giving up totally what he is doing, at that point will he
go backward on the hill?
Answer: The same engine takes the mall train to the
mosque.
Answering: continuing with a pervious question.As you

were saying that certain points are very well understood
by Ahle Kasfh. When the Ahle kasfh are opened up to a
kashf, meanings of certain points (mana e kasfh) are
elaborated very finely, this is due to the filter of aql o
khird logic being removed, what happens in kashf is like in
a dream a lot of points are illuminated which seize to
exist once one wakes up, like in an anesthesia in the sleep
a lot of big operation can be are performed with ease.
Very big meanings are illuminated, when the filter of logic
remains a lot of points do not pass the filter, in a
kashf(dream) without sleeping where there is the
activity of the brain is minimized, when its minimized the
many contrasts, when one was seeing only one side of the
coin only, is able to see both the sides of the coin, where
there is will and where there is izn, where there is qadr
and where there is jabr, if we use our logic then we will
either understand er jabr or qadr not simultaneously ,
how can both be validated, in the kashfi state there is
more possibility to view both.
Question: I am in a prefix, sometimes I feel the

curtain of ghafalat (the veil of ignorance) and the
mold of the self or wajud ka jamud inertia (a natural
state of being) the force of gravity we feel is
increasing, even in regards to the conscious. Some
concepts are going toward clarity, and on the other
side the wajud is going towards ambiguity.
Answer: Meaning that the conscious is going towards

clarity, while the wajud (inertia) is going towards
lagarat(weakness)..God is interested in your conscious
and not wajud (interia/mold), not considering ones wajud,
seeing if one is sitting inside or outside the mosque. As
said by the Sufis have a clear verdict, as Hazrat Wasif
Ali Wasif R.A has remarked that a vice which gives it
holder is better than a virtue which makes him arrogant,
as such immediate good or evil does not matter, of the
record comment, but what finally matters is the Qurba e
manwe Nearness to God. The phenomena you just said
Humair saheb, if we consider a maulana who is saying all
his prayers with , has beard and a cap, but when he walks
leaving Pharaoh behind, being arrogant at each of his
deed ‘They walk on earth with arrogance’. Is this activity
better or the other. The realization of not being able to
do anything and being ashamed of is better than doing
something and be overcome by pride and becoming
arrogant. The ability of not able to do anything due to
inertia when one really wants to do many things or due to
kashf e qalb is showing off that I have this thing. Here a
paradox develops which has to be reported, Insan human
is engaged in inertia and gravity , but it is not his will,
willfully he wants to escape gravity, will be beneficial and
Sarmaih e Irfan as long he is not satisfied, otherwise if
is he is happy and contented with what is happening not
trying to change and maintain the status quo will disrupt
his Irfan. If not having any options or choice one is going
to the bank and getting into interest based dealings
giving interest and engaged in interest based business, he
cannot survive it is alright, till with a very strong ta
manna, desire to leave it as soon as possible from this
Fasiq evil system, not if one accepts it and thinking it to
be good.
Question: It is said to those who are given guidance

are given the understanding of Deen. What is meant
by deen? is given understanding and spreading it is
also Tabligh.
Answer: No harm in saying it. Right path means going in

certain direction, towards someone. Have Shukar instead
of raising a point of objection on receiving a straight
path. If there is heat outside a bank and you are given
priority by the bank manager Shah sahib, then instead of
complaining to Shah sahib of the people standing in line.
Observation: A poem of Iqbal R.A says and one can

estimate the pedestal and the height at which the
Allama was standing when he said that.’ God asks
Iqbal R.A did you like my world, the creation with its
beauty, to which Iqbal R.A replies, no I do not, as I
see the owner of a brewery making beer and his
servant working to do so, the landowner crushing his
servants and keeping them as slaves. To which the
Creator replies, yes I see that, but your job is to
follow the life of the Prophet Sallalahu Alaihi
Wassallam, when he was not retaliating against
anyone, spreading the message of
Quran. His Meccan period, so is your duty not to look
around the world but perform what you are asked to
do.’
Answer: Yes that is called a synthesis in the life of

traveler, whatever is happening outside is a catalyst to
his personal development.
Question: And then the Prophet pbuh following the

Medina life with different commandments to follow.
So we can say the path in the life of the Prophet is
what to be practiced?
Answer: The seerat e pak as described by Iqbal R.A

here is the ajmali dimensions in the life of a salik and
musafir, that the musafir should recognize his state in
the journey, a task only Iqbal R.A can understand with
such a clarity. When a traveler is faced with difficulties
outside, he is advised to follow the Meccan period, and
keep on doing his duty. Only a Mard e Qalandar of Iqbal
R.A rank can perceive it.
Question: Why do researches in medicine keep on
changing? Having said one thing on its benefits the
media comes up with an opposite view shortly?
Answer: The period of Fleming is gone, when there were

scientists having the nature of saints. The same thing if
one has a preset ulterior commercial motive, all this will
not produce any inner wealth.
Question: What is concept aqaabat retribution,

nawazishat, being the other name of doing ihsanat,
then what is the meaning of ‘Count your blessings’ why
is a count of the nawazishat? aqabat ks samaan mee
anaa ka kyta matlab hai?
Answer: We have to see the concept and the word here

aqabat retribution means when ihsaanat are being done
and if someone is asking a count of the deeds done by
you, the recipient of ihsaanat are outside the formula of
merit, not deserving but still getting the blessings.
Aqabaat apne nawazhiat ka hisaabat mangna ka kya
matlab hai means no longer the hisaab, now the blessings
is based on ones merit of good and bad deeds Aik inssan
ko apne aqaabat ka hawala kardana ka kya matlab hai,
No longer insaf being handed over to merit, the curtain
of rehmat blessing being withdrawn, starting of the
aqaabaat retribution and the purdah of rehmat being
withdrawn, whether deserving or not, getting the
blessing, like a children living in the home is never
reminded or asked by his father of the favor done, but
when a child misbehaves he is reminded to go and work
outside and see what this life is all about. Now no more
free meal and you have to work. The aqaabat retribution
changes into akuwaat starting of the punishment in
reference to what Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A has said
that the role of the rehmat is to save and protect us
from our misdeeds and the consequences of our Ammal
misdeeds being overcome by the rehma blessings a
sphere created in between, a control of the rehma in
between which when taken out and handed over to the
ammal deeds would mean tit for tat, starting his
qyamaat, aqaabat converting, when a Mohsen says the
period of blessings is over now I am going to have a count
of the deeds, saying until now there were blessing now it
will be insaaf justice when it is said that the time period
has ended, means extended time period of blessings is
over, when its withdrawn the aqaabat retribution starts.
Question:
Answer: This is for those preachers who do not let us

breath, who say to accept Quaid e Azam and then Allama
Iqbal R.A, this saying of Imam Ghazalli and the Imam
Razi R.A, give them breathing space, the words of Allah
are sufficient the Quran e Pak, the rest is to see the
Majesty and cannot all be followed , it is not mandatory
to follow every reformer and read his writings or reading
Diwan e Ghalib, or Allama Iqbal R.A himself no one can
follow better than Iqbal R.A himself , is not practically
possible and everybody needs a breathing space.
Question: For a traveler what are the guide lines?

Answer: It is not a means of escape.For the traveler
tasleem is not an inconvenience but a bahar spring and a
blessing being following Alul al mar. To make the path of
a common man easy. Now you have in the mosque the
whole Fiqh will be taught to you.
Question: In kashf ul mahjub it is narrated in

reference to twaquul about traveler in reference to
bayt, an example of bayt a mureed sinking in a river
is asked by khidr to give him his hands, which he
refuses saying he has given it to his Shaykh .What is
the concept of bala tasleem, in the chain of command
whenthe commander is the Shaykh?
Answer: In history of the seerat of pious people, like

khwaja nizam din aulya R.A followed his murshid , there
are no two statements.
Question: When there is no distance why the

difference in lesson of taswauf where there is no
duality?
Answer: The distance was being created when the
traveler of unity, said there is no distance this is him,
instead he is him I say him is he. Here intelligent people
can evaluate that we take two steps at a time on a ladder
we will not understand. In a platform every one is taught
according to his needs and capacity after evaluation, if
the capacity is raised ten times from this platform we
will not understand the subject.
Question: The first musafirs going to haj doing zahri

ibadat they met another group, is the zahir kept
aside?
Answer: Here Haj is not a zahiri haj but a batini haj , in
the haj they were going to a paradox developed where
they were afraid after meeting the other group, there
sangat could change to the other haj, so they asked to
be kept to the haj they were going, wanted to keep on
doing what they were doing. Here the haj is not of books.
Question: The Haj towards Allah.

Answer: The concept here that sometimes pious deeds
sometimes become an obstacle. Deeds have their own
colors, like deeds resembling your color, like the deed
resembling your color is being performed when from the
next room another call come to do another good deed, will
stop the first deed, like a person going to fight on the
border is asked to help a widower, will stop the other
deed.
Question: According to our own shade and duty?
Answer: The zauq and shauq is diminished, a bad deed is
easily recognized, but there is another kind of
destruction, like some friends in disguise abduct you in
the name of deen. In the name of deen they change your
direction.
Question: I have a question, sometimes like doing an
ibadat like Qurbani one is doing according to ones
financial size, sacrificing a camel, cow or
goat,Qurbani is a sunnat, instead there a lot poor
people around can a change can be done?
Answer: The extreme example is that of the mutzillah
who raised an objection about Qurbani sacrificing millions
of animals, saying, that due to Qurbani the cost of
sheeps is raised every year, why not create a fund and
build a hospital. If you do that you will not be able too.
Why to sacrifice the camels from around the
communities and save them to build hospitals. Why do haj
every year, help ten persons, the result found out was
that doing so they could not help the poor and found out
that those going every year, were helping the poor
already. Pious deed is not opting for the deed of your own
choice. Those who do so is there temperament. Pious
deed is for some one, not fe nafs he, otherwise countries
like welfare state should be all pious. If it is said to do
Qurbani a certain way has to be done accordingly. Not
giving up sunnat for farz, not sacrificing Qurbani for
welfare, otherwise creating a state within a state. Pious
deed is for the sake of someone. If you have helped
another person a poor person, pious deeds have
reference to something. Qurbani is a Sunnat done by and
asked to do. Seeing where the meat has to be
distributed, and where the money has to be distributed.
Not distributing twenty thousand worth of currency to
buy an animal and distributing the meat, and where
required to distribute Not using the currency of 20
years old, but the one being currently used.
Question: To help others and doing piety and helping
the poor is helping oneself a blessing for our selves.
Answer: Yes that is so, like some people object that
people often go to haj and go several times wasting and
not giving to the poor, but according to a hadith, doing
haj and umra repeatedly calls for increase in rizq
financially, if there is increase in rizq finances, means
increases the chance in doing the piety with affluence
,which one cannot do without increase in money. If your
means are increased you will instead of opening one
dispensary open ten. So the formal format for the pious
deeds have been cleary defined, helping poor is according
to the command of the Lord. A community of the Lord, so
you are helping the poor on the command of some other.
He knows you are forgiving someone for Him. Qurbani is
Qurb nearness taqarub. Qurbani does not itself means
just distributing meat only but having fringe benefits
you can distribute meat by going to meat shop and pay
them money, symbolically sacrificing the animal goat
inside when are you going to sacrifice the animal inside ,
if you will sacrifice the inner animal then the benefits will
accrue then you will get nearness to God. Every animal
has certain characteristics reflected in the human heart,
like the camel is known for keeping grudges, so of the
shuthar murgh , the goat the other department and so
on; the cow is the symbol of mesiaht economy, so every
heart has a cow, bull all ties up, and its imperative to
sacrifice them one by one. Telling the form and the
format, a severe and clear violation is done by those who
have done so, asking for welfare system, keeping Qurbani
as well as welfare system, where tasleem obedience
instead using our intelligence to change according to our
desires. Not accepting the system where it came from,
forming a state within state, the federal law being
different from our own.
Question: : Many times we have discussed this that
Islah reformation is an individual act and safar travel
is an individual act, even creating Nizam is not
necessary, the Rohaini kind of Nizam, then what was
the need for creation of Pakistan.
Answer: The creation of state that was established in
Mecca is also a Sunnah, because as Hazrat Wasif Ali
Wasif narrates the importance of Tazkiya before
establishing state, focus on fard individual, meaning the
state should not be formed, will facilitate the individual,
comparatively the chances of falah is more for the weak
not able to resist, will have their task become easier, the
borderline personailities, the community is for the
individual,
Question: Nizam for the sake of Nizam.
Answer: Establishing the community is for the individual,
the stress is on individual as namaz is also being said in
lucknow and Mumbai. That is why Iqbal r.a said, ‘Mullah
ko hai hind me sajdida ke agazaat, nadan samgta hai
kalam iqbal’
A scholar in the muzaikra in MAO college had the same

question. Example saying prayer in congregations is
better then at home by 27 times, but the nawafil is the
travel of an individual, Tahujud is individual. Nawafil is a
mean of Qurb nearness to God.

Answer: When we see the moon, just reflecting the sun,

but forget it is also burning, the burning effect is not
simply a reflector, adding to many benefits like
controlling the tides, in the oceans, the water waves,
taking air inside for the many creatures using oxygen, the
moon not only reflects the light of the Sun it sustains
the oceans on the command of the Creator. The medium
at the stage of khaabaar news has a very important role.
Question: banda e momin z ayaat khuda assaat.
Answer: Qari nazaar ata hai haqiqat me haa Quran. Yes
not only reading the Quran but the Quran revealing on
him.
Question: In the work of the Creator, when a human
loses only then he gains. We use all our resources for
the benefits of the worldly affairs, but not for the
work of the Creator.
Answer: The communication is one way, the righteous
deeds according to a format, not knowing what is the
acceptance there. If you are sitting across then the
situation will be something else. If you are away I might
think about somebody else, help other, but if you are
right in front of me I will be more concerned about you.
Maqaam e Ihsan, baat tu saahi hai magar baat hai ruswai
ke.
Question: All the people are getting the blessing.
Answer: That is taken for granted,
Question: We think what a one way communication,
could be two if able to perceive is it not like, for two
communications, we are burning too, such as in a
khaabaar, and the extensions, need an acute
perception.
Answer: Explaining the previous points, when we ask the
Creator
Question: If we ask the Creator we get an answer in
the form of a vision and the reply could be in the
form of miracle. There is not possible for a Bashr to
communicate with the Lord.
Answer: When it is two way the work is stamped and
certain. In one way it is doubtful, with kafayat and
mushaida.
Question: Is it possible for Kalam for bashr, like kali
mullah and habib ullah, for the sage.
Answer: It is not possible to talk with Creator in the
form of speech except behind veil or messenger; these
three options, for the nabi there is an exception, for the
nabi, not for the general population, the status of the
Anbya is exceptional not comparable with the humans.
Question. I have not understood two way
communications:
Answer: That is in reference to Mushaida and not kalam.
Question: The two of us talking is a speech?
Answer: Yes but could be one way though in spite of
appearing two ways, communication could only be a part
not a whole, not necessarily being listened by both sides.
Question: No human can have speech with the
Creator.
Answer: That is in the Kalam e Pak, you must have
understood and read the verses.
Question: Yes I have read about all the three ways
described in the Quran?
Question: How about the event of Hazrat Wasif Ali
Wasif R.A and Riaz sahib in the office hearing a loud
voice?
Answer: But that too if you reflect to understand only,
was also one way when the kalam was talking place Hazrat
Wasif r.a saying ‘I was cornered being afraid do not know
who talked.’ being one way.
Question: So that was one way too and two ways is
mushaida?
Answer: Yes the Mushaida becomes the Yaqin takes
place after two a way communication. This is the Topic,
one sided love is doubtful, whether letters are being
delivered not knowing if we are in good books or
not.When there is mushaida and mulaqaat.
Question; Two way is for the Dervaish meeting his
own dervish, this is the color of dervaishi. Does this
two way dervaishi has some special colors?
Answer: That who found your naqash e kadam mela tere
jamal me dhal gaya as narrated by Hazrat Wasif Ali
Wasif r.a , in every epoch there are dervaish following in
the foot steps of and the character, following the
character of the Prophet Sallalal alahi walahi Wasallam
meeting his dervaish’s in all times, only after this
meeting with the Prophet, a dervaish is worthy of calling
himself a dervish.
Question: The Creator spoke with His Prophets, and
after that it is written with those He desires?
Answer; Let me check the ayah, that means only His
Prophets which are the Murtaza whom He so choses and
not with the general public.
Question: Yes God communicated with His Prophets,
but what about khayal?
Answer: Kalam ke nafi hai, but the communication is
there like with the Bee, and the ant etc. Wahy is
there.There is the difference between speech and wahy.
Question: What the heart excepts will be right,first
choice is always true, but in second the calculations
create doubt? Wasfa khadshat are created?
Answer: How did you get this khayal? How are you
relating this here?
Question: The communication is going with the ant
too, but sometimes we suppress the khayal of the
rightoues deed, that is our character, although He
communicated to do this.He already gave a command
to DO. People of the path, in any form get a khayal
whether in a form of poetry , prose, statement,or
rightoues deeds, travelling earnestly whether seeing
the light of jugnu, the thing starts from there, where
does it opens and where does it ends one does not
know.
Answer: Kahsf e mane is there on the traveler, dil pa
mane ka ilqa zuroor hota hai is there on the musafar,
unveiling the meanings of the verses of the Quran.
Question: Tera khayal banta raha, apana app ko
banda
Answer: Tahrir e jaan ka baad, kalima tayeba for a person
living in a village not knowing urdu, Arabic, not knowing
how to read, to teach him the meaning, for him one way is
tell him to say meen nahi tu, not me you. If he asks for an
example tell him read seerah.(Subhan Allah, Masha Allah)
Question: It is not for Allah to talk to a human, It
is not given .What type of communication was between
Iqbal r.a and God I just mentioned before in the
Persian poems, on what kind of pedestal was that?
Answer: My personal view can be debatable this is Ilqa
illumination possible on a non Prophet, like the example of
the mother of Prophet Moses (Pbuh) in the Quran on her
heart was Ilqa. The writings of wise people is in the form
of Ilqa. A communication not resembling the Prophets,
another heavens, not accessible to humans, for them the
message is different, another type of contract messaqun
nabiyun, for the common people the contract is dargaa
ammomiat, Am I not your Raab, for the Prophets Yeh nabi
ka pass ayan gat u iman lana hai, darga meesaq meen hai
darga foqiat hia. For those stars the minimum
qualifications is a Nabi Prophet. ( Allah Akbar, Allah
Akbar) a special accord and common folks the difference
is there.
Mehfil with Dr Azhar Saheb 13Jul 2013. Questions

and Answers pertaining to the essence of Being, the
unity of Being. Developing the flame of this shauq and
subsequently zauq under the guidance and leadership
of a competent rahanama , a quaid and a guide.
Question: How do we learn in terms of fasting?
Answer: Fasting is a lesson which is already elaborated
not to revive or repeat It, not in a primary class to
explain what is fasting how to respect them is already
mentioned, if there is any practical difficulty at the
individual level then we can discuss. Question should not
be ilmi otherwise one book will be referred against the
other.
Question: We made a great effort to keep fast not
anymore? Initially at our childhood we had a great
passion, waking and making preparations for the fast,
does not seems to be any more.
Answer: Those who are the level of children still have
them; we are grown up from that phase, and have other
responsibilities as things start to balance up, the children
are still waking up people, going to mosques is still a
passion of the youth. Our job is to Pray for the well
being of zauq taste, and shauq interest, the biggest bad
luck is the decrease in shauq interest, We should develop
the shauq and zauq, after shauq we need zauq, as shauq
is a bhambar mystery and is a flame, but zauq is the
trimming down, to trim the shauq and bring it into proper
form to perpetuate it, give it a direction , bringing it into
a continuity like a gardener doing gardening when the
plant of shauq blossoms, then zauq is the cutting done by
the gardener, both of them should blossom and grow
badadreeg gradually ,for if only shauq was enough then
we wouldn’t need the tazkia e nafs fine tuning of the
heart, to go to a sangaat’s gathering of the seekers, for
any tarbiat practice would not be necessary, to
understand the true meaning of a book we need a
demonstrator need a true teacher, for the shauq to
function properly need a rahnama, quaid and guide. When
the plant and the bud of Shauq blossoms, aik shola hai is
a flame, zauq is the trimming to perpetuate to bring it in
tasalsul continuity, shauq and zauq needs constant
progress under a guide.
Question: Nur mutliq khud tajalli ka shakar
Khud gchopaa khud pae
khud ko haar kadam
Answer: Butt sahib this is a question of Wahadat ul

Wajuud unity of Being, this is the sardar Grand Master
of all and your asking this question while laying down on
the couch. This is a full formula of ‘Kun Fa Yakoon’, Be
and it is, if we reflect in this verse poem is akin to ‘Kuntu
tu kanzor makfeu ma nuri fa ….’. This shair or verses of
the poem by Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A is a translation
of the aforementioned Hadith e Qudsi.
Questioner (repeating).
Answer : In easy words His beauty is so beautiful talking
in poetry not in prose taking a liberty, the eyes of the
beholder are bewildered, Husna mujasum is such khera
kun nothing resembles Him, that the eyesight of the
beholder gets amazed and in Pehli Kiran sorry in my
book….. there is a paragraph you will understand the
meaning of this poem, should clarify though one should
not read ones own book, ‘Waqat aik hijab hai, hijab
meen husna e adil khud he masrrof hai, woh waqat kae
niqaab ulut ta howa bijilian gharatta hoa wajud ke
gali ka aik koona saa doosra konna taak khud he
mahwa khara hah’ this prose describes to some extant
this stanza you mentioned. Time is a veil, under the guise
of this veil the Beauty is dazzling itself busying Itself,
turning over the veil of Time this Entity greeting with
the bolt of lightening from one Part of the alley of its
Being to the other. This process of self exploration is
going on ‘Khud beeni’ seeing Oneself ‘khud shanasi’
finding Oneself is going on, proliferating Oneself,
excusing the Sharia, not offering any fatwa decree, in
the paradigm of Wahadat ul Wajood, the Wajud entity
does not have a ghair separate, not a khaliq Creator and
another maqlooq created, not an entity of a khaliq
Creator and not an entity of the mahqlooq created, this
will create duree separation in the Universal Wajud, this
Wajud being One , in Wahadat unity, is both in the form
of wave and a particle, itself a ray and the ray
illuminating the entity itself the ray all the same Entity,
in the context of Wahadat ul Wajood. Allah is nur us
samawaat wal urz any noraaniat we are seeing here is all
He, nothing is ghair separate from Him, Nur mutliq khud
tajalli ka shaker hai. Another verse written on the same
topic by Hazrat Wasif R.A is Yeh ture dil hai ka khud
ko jala ka dakya kaleem e hossh koo kaab hai taab e
nazara yeh turee dil hai jo khud ko jala ke dekhya.
Khabi bholaa ka khabi passs akaa. This is a mushaida of
saheb e maqam sufi the shair verse you are describing ,
Wahadat ul Wajood Entity of Being is not a discussion,
as related by Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, is not ilm
knowledge but a mushaida illumination.
When the Sufis describe their mushaida they express it
in this way, and if that zauq taste is not available, people
declare a fatwa decree. This is in reality is Tashbeeh and
Tanzih, when a human looks with the eye of love, he
moves from Tanzih towards Tashbeeh saying this is that
and that is this, when a human uses the faculty of aql
reason, he starts classifying things, as this is you and
that is me, this is down this is up this is right that is left.
In Junoon in the eye of Love as Love is also a
consciousness; similarly as the activity of the brain is a
conscious. Love is also part and parcel of consciousness.
Seeing an observation in Toto in totality, so when one
sees the faults of people instead of getting angry burst
in laughter, will not get angry realizing full well that
whatever the other is saying is not wrong either, as the
other is seeing from his own perspective. He knows the
other is not saying wrong because at the others maqam
station will not find it wrong. That is why munafqat
hypocrisy is only liable for ‘ Fil Jahanam….’ for Hell and is
false all others things are truths nothing is batil and
false. Nothing else is batil false except hypocrisy, at
whatever level one who is saying gold is the most precious
metal sitting in the gold market, is telling the truth.
Those who say save for tomorrow, as in the case of an
ant, saving in summer for the winter months are equally
true, as for those not saving like in the case of a hawk.
Finding a pigeon to eat whenever hungry, equally right.
There is nothing false everything is true. When the
Quran says ‘Rabna ma khalaqtana haza batiloon’ ‘Oh Lord
you have not created anything in vain.’ Those who have
mushaida call out. Whatever is created there is no batil
false. Example a crude one just a part only to understand
, when a big businessman train there children like Daud
Hercules, start with the peon, steno, every department,
just to have a feeling otherwise a crude example, being
the owner sitting at different places viewing himself.
Same with the Creator seeing Itself, having all the
colors, at all the places, every point, every particle being
a sun. Now this poem has taken us to Wahadut ul Wajood
lets talk about our own wajud.
Question: When it is said in Quran e Hakeem that
children, property etc is a trial?
Answer: Everything is a trial, uzaka al naas, a thing to
reflect here is that those to whom the Quran is being
addressed are advised that it is not addressed to
everyone at the same time, those who are able to raise
the state of their conscious to a level able to understand
this, those at the level of shawaat are being pointed out
and told not to worry and be concerned about those who
are going in another direction, for this person is not going
in that direction. A human or a person until he does not
come out of a hijab veil is not conscious of that hijab veil
or covering until he comes out of that hijab and the veil
until it is removed. For those having the veil Ilnas e
shawaate ,for those having a source of attraction being
mechanically involved in matter, being mechanically
involved in materialism cannot understand, for those
beyond matter are reminded saying do not be worried as
everything has been constituted purposefully, nasa
bananena was samaae wa banana for those under this veil.
The one who is being addressed everything is ghair apart
for him for those having a hijab veil banaena is truth, for
them insurance is truth, there is a whole science, banks,
lockers should have jewelry the whole nation is after, in
that crowd one who has fazil grace comes out, realizes
this ayah , where he is going, where the others are going,
being part of the mob and the mob psychology ,
reflecting and understanding in the temperament of
tazkia e nafs one realizes where one is going ,this is a
scene laid out by the Creator, what you are not is a scene
for you, feast for thought not food for thought. Who will
talk now, Yusuf Mian you should talk.
Question: The ones who are being referred to here,
are they the ones who are beyond sood o zian?
Answer: Those who are beyond sood o ziaan gain and
loss this concept of wadad ul wajood is for them. Who
have passed the semester of their own interest, until one
has interest one cannot be the observer of that scene, if
you are a stake holder in a game you cannot come out
since wadad ul wajood is a scene for those who are
outside self interest, beyond gain and loss. Those in self
interest cannot say gold and metal have the same value.
Those who are in search of stone find gold throwing it
away, saying I needed stone and gold came in, let me
throw away the gold. Those who refuse to accept pride of
performance are endowed with Nishan e haider. The usual
line is of gathering the medals of success in their necks,
in the life of gain and loss if one gets gain but loses the
one for whom the gain was meant is ultimately a loser. If
one gets zian loss and one finds the Mehboob beloved,
then it is not a zian loss but sood gain. The concept of
gain and loss cannot be understood without reference to
a zaat, until then kamayabi success is a sign of being
superior to nakamyabi loss. These are quotes deserved to
be written down, why to succeed, why to do business of
interest, of gain.
Question: Without Zaat there is no success, is that
true?
Answer: Without Zaat it’s a mob, is a purely physical
game, matter has its own dynamics, if there is no
reference to a Zaat, if its not related to ZUL JILAL E
WAL IKRAM, then the rest is an illusion, if there is a
reference to a Zaat, only then one relinquishes the
platform of matter, otherwise matter has its own
dynamics, if you earn 50000 will have its own game,
earning 5 lac will have a different game will have its own
circle, so on to 50 lac, will change the behavior of the
recipient. Then you are not playing with matter, but
matter is playing with you, behaving like Mr xyz, Mr abc,
Mr stc with a 50000 earning. Only those in the pursuit of
wajah e rabeka will be able to get out of the grip of
matter. Yaduna rabuhum wal ghairta waeshai , those
who want the face of their Lord morning and evening.
Question: When will this face be illuminated?
Answer: This example is given until the face a reflection
of the Zaat is not the goal, until then everything is Maya
an illusion a game of matter, until then you are not using
matter, but matter is using you.
Question: Everyone is running after earnings and
success how so, everyone is calling success as an
activity or gathering of more money?
Answer: And this is in fact failure and defeat. The
important point to note here is that the maqsad goal is
related to batin inner life, and success is related to zahir
the worldly life, the one who is not a traveler of batin will
pass by touching the maqsad , the one who is after batin
without an interest will consider it a dirt of the palm and
consider maqsad a sore of the palm, will keep it with
care, here the difference is enumerated. The one who is
after success without maqsad is dazzled by the material
world, For whom the priority is only success is dazzled by
the material life, and those who are after batten will be
after the maqsad and for them success or failure has no
relevance.
Question: It is being advertised every the way to
succeed is to earn money, why is that considered
success?
Answer: Success for what, you cannot earn more than Bill
Gates, but if you are asked to interchange your grave
with him will certainly cry out no way. It is narrated Baba
Bulleh Shah did not have any money did he have money ?,
so was Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, was said to have
had his meter for measuring electricity cut of for non
payment seldom times, and would usually drink tea on
credit, his home was in a dill pated state, with the paint
of the walls falling, the chairs broken, seen too. If it is
said you can get a grave close to him you will say Suban
Allah, so they did not have money, why would you getting
a lot of money make it a difference. It is said when Baba
Bulleh Shah died his grave was not permitted to be in
the regular graveyard, had to be buried outside the
walled city. So success is not a success until your death is
not successful is not worthy of emulation, being a part
and parcel of your life. Until death is not a success to be
applauded, life is a whole unit a whole book, until the last
chapter is not finished tama bil ghair, kitab e zindagi ke
tamaa bil ghair hogayee can be a sentence with the
success at last breath nothing else matters including the
laurels won in present life.
Question: People who go to data sahib and other
places and to pious people is that not shirk too?
Answer: This is said by those who do not go, if you are
going there regularly, you will say I have been there
myself, there is no shirk, what are you talking about, this
is a fatwa said by those who have not gone through the
process. For shirk a ghair has to be involved an old and
controversial topic, until we have a knowledge of ghair
and our own we will get confused by the ghairlog people
will keep on abducting us. Those who base there
philosophy of telling us not to go the tombs of the saints
is shirk, if you read the books written by them explicitly
mention the wali, pir, murshid,deo, pari, duyta, murte,
written in same breadth written 200 years or so ago. In
same category explain nur and zulmat in the same
breadth, allahu zulim amano………………… , we have to see
who are representing tagut falsehood and who are
representing khudai rehman there is a lot of difference.
One our friend debates, saying what is the difference
between praying before muureti idol, and the tombs, this
is shirk, so I explained Haleem sahib do me a favor spend
one night in a temple in Krishna murti mandir ,Jain
mandir, and then at stay one night at data sahib, if you do
not feel a difference or do, then tell me, a difference
between the fragrance the good and bad smell.
Question: Sometimes a doubt arises?
Answer: What is the doubt? If we want to understand
these are very easy , when we pray alhamad ulliah rab
al alameen Ihade naserate mustaqeem, seraat tala
zeena anamta alihim those who are blessed are separate
inam yaftagaan are separate, and those who are ghair
different, gharial magzoob alhai him, if you are kissing
your father hands and kadam bosi , where is the shirk
your are not kissing Rajiv Ghandi hands , if you are kissing
Prince Charles, or Obama hands that is shirk, love of
dollar is a shirk, loving data sahib is not shirk but ain haq
truth, there is sentence of Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A
those who lead to the way of Allah themselves become
the way of Allah or when the remembrance of a person
becomes extreme become yaad e haq remembrance of
truth, we do not reflect on tasawauf, and this haad is
behaad a sentence. In easy term there are two
establishments Pakistani and Indian establishment, if we
compare an officer with the other the whole
establishment will be get irate with us, you are a siaal
wayfarer, what is the need for a siaal wayfarer to
indulge in these matter, we need to understand if an
application is given to the President and does not go
through the sectary will not be through proper channel,
saying the application I am writing should not go through
the chief sectary, do you think the President wont mind.
In Quran janub us smawaat wul arzdh there are the
forces of Hisb ullah the force of Allah is separate, and
hisb us shaitaan those of satan. The forces of Allah are
separate from the forces of Shaitaan. In Quran janud
us smaawat e fil ardh , the laskher forces of heavens
and earth are for Him.
So there is a difference between fragrance and nausea,
zulmaat and nur the darkness and night.
Question: Keep on abducting.
Answer: The ayaat for kufaar are unfortunately labelled
on the Muslims, being only for the kufaar, after saying
Kalimah Tayeeba one gets pak clean, after taking a bath
and going to the mosque one is cleansed. Who tempts the
heart Yo wasafe su min naas. After saying the Kalimah
we have become pak clean. Having cleansed them Kufaar o
shirk after reciting Kalimah, are reciting Allah Allah you
are calling them kuffar, if visiting a place where the name
of Lord is being taken, darud Is being send on the
Prophet(phub) then visiting a place and calling is shirk
what is left. Then you are only left with prayer mat, how
many prayers you will recite.
Question: When Guru Nanak came to Lahore he was
dazzled at the tomb of Data Darbar.
Answer: That is right let us finish this topic those who
are going to accept it there is no controversy and those
who are not going to accept it there will remain
controversy, if we go to the kunya root cause of
philosophy there is one litmus test, those who follow the
congregations will not be deviated. The hadith of Prophet
pbuh says those who are engaged in a group activity will
not get betrayed, those who have soft corner for
taswaawuf , are engaged in zikar and fikar let us compare
there numbers with those of the other, you will say a
minority giving a fatwa that a majority is deviant such a
tragedy starting with the times of khulfa a rashadeen
the kharijeen, they say they want to believe in Allah but
not believe in a human as a mediator or do not want
human medition, there flag used to mention ‘Here only
the decree of Allah will reign’, hukan indallah when they
had conflicts with Khalafa e rashedeen, even Hazrat Ali
Karam wajahAllah, he often tried to convince and explain
them that mediation is needed, let us find some between
you and us some people who can mediate, saying they are
saying that they are using the right saying of Allah the
Almighty at the wrong place, sama bil gaaib the rule is of
Allah(Be-izn Allah) but will be carried through some
human, not something against the injunction of the
Creator. If the kharajeen accepting a mediator to
mediate otherwise, negating their own claims of not
accepting a mediator a paradox. This is only self interest.
Questions: The philosophy of rejection?
Answer: The philosophy of rejection, to accept directly,
If there is no acceptance of the qualities of a human the
embodiment of creation, denying the apex of creation,
results in a problem, a paradox will be created.
Question: Not respecting a maqarb insaan and the
Prophet pbuh?
Answer: This is tohaane insaniyaat, a crime of global
level, not giving respect to the Prophet pbuh is tohaane
insaaniat a global, where the kamaal e miraj e inssaniyat
is placed, it is disrespecting the whole insaanaayat human
kind a journey of millions of years reaching the cultural
pinnacle at a point and if you have made a mistake at the
nuqaata e kamal pinnacle at medina pak, you are bulldozing
the whole killing the whole humanity, even not
understanding religion.
Question: Example a teacher is giving you lessons at a
point and you make a mistake of negating the pinnacle
the teacher himself, can you ignore that teacher?
Answer: The one who gave us the kalimah, however one
got it by, by inheritance, or by Alqa made you a national
of their nation, and how can anyone evict you. .Once you
understand do not repeat it. Ashafaque mian can you
speak
Question: A person who is doing zikar is protected by
many a trials.
Answer: We were just discussing, that, this is one quote
of Kiblah wasif sahib,
Zikar karna wala bahut sare araish e naqas se baachgata
hai
Aur zikar ka aik darga hai fikar zikar ka baad aik maqam
ata hai jese fikar ka maqam kahtaa hain.(End of Quote
by Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif Reh).
Yatafqaroon jo hai asaal meen zakarron ka baad ke baat

hai.
Fikar ka maqaam zikar ka baad ataa hai.
The first part of this quote by Hazrat Wasif R.A
pertaining to one doing zikar is exempted from many
promptings of the soul. The first stage of zikar is lasaani
zikar recitation by the tongue. Doing zikar by lasaan
tongue, not knowing its meaning initially, its implications,
its spiritual depth, just doing zikar with the tongue, now
the tongue is part of the body, and according to Hazrat
Wasif R.A, if one part of the body is given to as a waqaf
denoted to Allah tala, then eventually whole body
eventually becomes a waqaf endowment in the service of
Allah tala. After tongue the heart is endowed after heart
then fikar will come, fikar is never partial, fikar is not
part time, fikar like love is for all the times, not like
doing in the morning and not doing in the evening.
Sahibane fikar people of reflection are represented
from head to toe in reflection and pondering.
About yatafaqroon who reflect are people who do fikar,
reflect standing, sitting, lying on their sides, who reflect,
at every moment, when an insaan human devotes a part of
his body and life to the remembrance of yaad e haq the
Ultimate Truth, then the chance to get involved with
nafs soul, the capacity will diminish, will not accept the
commands of soul. Because the nafs also need complete
submission, nafs also want complete authority, trying to
drown. In Quran it is said, ‘Enter into submission
completely’ if you take out one hand and take hold of a
pipe, then you will not drown, the togayane torrent will
not be able to harm you, togayanee torrent is also of
nafs soul, if your hand grasps haath pa gaya catch hold of
the Sufi Master , the torrent will not harm you. Zikar is
also grasping a hand, people who have taken upon
themselves to zikar wird aurad, even for half an hour, and
are not able to perform will face the prayer mat and the
pashee accountability, will not pass 24 hours and face
consequences. How long will there be a ping pong
situation, their taste for the soul is ultimately saying to
give divorce and get rid of the turmoil.
Question: When we do zikar. Praying and reciting
Kalimah is zikar is now very clear, saying namaz and
wird, but what is fikar, after prayers how do we do
fikar or doing something is fikar?
Answer: Zikar is individual act or in a congregation, but
fikar is purely an individual act is not a collective act, you
can share fikar, that you had such and such idea
yesterday, and you bring it to the attention of a
gathering.
Question: Are you discussing fikar now?
Answer: I myself is not sure. Let us not define.
Fikar is khamoosh silent zikar, Afzal zikar is Lailah allah,
now Afzal ul fikar is also Lailaha illah, so those who got
involved in this fikar on them Wahdaat ul Wajud
illuminated opened up, Laillah Allah, meaning La maqsood
Illala, meaning La matloob illala, meaning Lamajood illala,
after zikar they got involved in fikar reflecting and
finding its meaning, Fikar is marifaat as stated in Kashful
Majoob by data hazur, marifaat is a journey from word to
its meanings. When we said a word, doing zikar then we
started in the journey of finding its meaning in marfaat .
For the sahib e irfan, the word is not simply a word they
protect and guard their word, by their actions.
Question: Does zikar has a magnitude is it necessary
to keep a record of the zikar?
Answer: This is a mystery, when we amalgamate fikar
with zikar, then fikar does not remain isolated but
acquires a new meaning, not just a brain activity, it’s a
point of maqam a mahiyaat, and maqam e tahajud, why
because the stages after zikar, as stated by our Sarkar,
that zikar, zakar aur mafol is a unity at a point, the path
then elaborated by zikar is a channel after maqam e
mahviyaat, fikar then is not a brain activity rather a
station of maqam tahujud. Not a name of rational
activity it has jazb, having mushaida, and mahiviaat,
defining tafakaar opens up many realities in our mehfil,
when we do fikar the one we are taking about the quality
of people of tafakaaroon involves a zaat Being, a
reference is involved is not secular, pertinent to a zaat
Being is involved, wajhe rabe ka wal zulale wal ikram.
Observation by Humair saheb: A moment of reflection on
Allah tala is equivalent to remembrance of a thousand
years. Religion is a sign to reach nature, while religion
reaches the hasil destination. (correction needed).
Fikar takes one to the Creator. While secular research
only takes us to nature.
Observation: Hazrat Ibrahim Pbuh reflected on the signs
of the universe, and reached its Creator, while Satan
having seen everything turned against the Creator.
Hazrat Ibrahim title is Khalil ul Allah, friend of Allah, a
zaat is involved, whereas in the case of Iblis though he
had mabood but no mehboob. Without reference to a
zaat, whatever he had prayer without a Being, in tafakaar
e ibrahime the title is Khalil Allah friend of Allah.
Observation by Humar sahib. The concept of ramazan,
Sarkar has said reading Quran e pak, complete it once
during Ramazan if not use a cassette to listen.
Life has so much momentum a lot of faraiz obligations are
left, even saying zuher and asr together, sometimes asr
is left to be prayed with isha and so on. This considering
the future our Sarkar said so.The complexities of the
future of modern life, these are the tips, even in our
lives, in childhood there was ample time, to say Fajr, and
it was a must to recite the Quran.Even those going to
work in the fields, even having the right or wrong
pronounciations, now the children have to go through such
a fast pace, doing homework, leaving no time for reading
Kalam e pak. The best thing is reading and reflecting on
the verses. So at least the primary stage or preliminary
stage is to read the Quran once during ramazan e pak.
Question: Is it just a ritual?

Answer: No it should not come to a point where we do not
have time not to read the Quran. Even not knowing its
meanings. There is a sonic power even in the words
creating a spiritual power, repulsing many evils, if we only
recite by a simple reading not knowing its meanings, a sign
of kalamat e ilahi while tafakaar comes in reflecting on
the verses after zikar, repeating with sonic vision.
Following on the hadith of the Prophet. Acting on the
zahir bringing the barakah in understanding the inner
meanings.
Question: It is enough not to be only haam khayal,
sole obedience is not enough but needs mizaj ashna as
quoted by Baba ji?
Answer: : It is enough not to be only haam khayal, sole
obedience is not enough but needs mizaj ashna as quoted
by Baba ji?
What did Hz Wasif Ali Wasif emphasized in ramadhan.?
If you are on facebook we are getting instructions to
read at least once kalam e pak, what is the meaning of
mizaj ashnai. We need to follow that instructions any
difficulty following them, what is the importance of mizaj
ashna, is that your question, well until one does not
become mizaj ashna, one will remain dependent of words,
where mizaj ashnai is beyond words.Until we become
mizaj ashna we move beyond words, should have love of
the person where these words are coming from, wisdom
is beyond words, becoming mizaj ashna will go beyond
words and understand the wisdom, mizaj ashnai means
the words are coming from the personality, one should
have love for that personality where the words are
coming from, then we do not having to consult a book, a
whole constitution is imposed on the domain of the
recipient, otherwise have to read making it sure one
article is not contradicting the other.
Question: Is Fikar continuous?
Answer: Fikar is a journey, a continues process.
Question: When we are close to the Fikar of the
Sufia, Sufia and the Aulia we get the potential to
overcome difficult circumstances, becomes an escape,
those who do not get depressed, since it a spiritual
activity over riding the material world.
Question: Do we just do Zikar? Continuiously.
Answer: Things which are beyond our control we do not
accept it right away consciously, Fikar meaning a
mahviaat, we should do what is possible, like following
Shariat, the dos and don’t, we do not know how it will
change into marifaat is not in our control, the samarat
blessings of fikar, the duty of the gardner is to till the
garden, to give water, sadar e ifkar.
Question: An observation and a question, in the
beginning you said about the relation between the
book and writer, in the context of the taleem
education of Sarkar, somehow it is felt , the book or
wasifiat is it sufficient for us.
Answer: The universal formula or universal phenomena,
the side effects will be there, a jigsaw puzzle or a parts
exist, but does not form a whole picture, not forming a
concept, a universal formula starting with the Quran,
people who said its is enough, got into a problem, or some
had a belief that there was a need of some person on
whom the true meanings were revealed, the paradox
between the Sufia and Ulema, the majority of Ulema
saying there libraries are full of tafaseer having tafseer
ibn e kaseer, having not need to consult the sahib e
irfan, while the Sufia do not eat until consulting the
Shaykh, reading a few ayaat verses reveals the overall
concept, which is the center of the deen, a universal
thing, in any silsila.
Question: Being a part of an ammar, a personality?
Answer: Yes the faculty which has to read, has to be
tames is the soul, until we do that it will keep on running,
like a dog which is tamed can be used to hunt and the
hunted is halal, while that of a untamed is haram.
Question: How do we treat others?.
Answer: Who have you mistreated, if someone mistreats
you that is his journey, while you have your own journey,
in judiciary there is so much corruption as narrated by
Butt sahib, means a lot of hard work needs to be done,
the more a medical case is entangled the more it needs
remedy, if we depart a part from the zikar and fikar, we
cannot say that a person is less then me, like the women
who used to pour filth on the Prophet, when she got sick
the prophet took care of her. The natural consequence of
which was to remind of doing what Prophet Yusuf did to
his brothers, a tradition of the prophets. Those who
accept the Prophets follow the same path or sunnah,
technically speaking were those were harsh with the
prophet deserved good treatment, not that the sunnah of
the prophets is different from those following them,
husn e saluk with someone is for someone else. Example
you are treating your sisters and brothers with respect
because of your parents, same with everyone, you are
following a journey of truth, irrespective how others
react.
Question: We are doing for someone?
Answer: When love enters inside then things are
different, you are not to see if the other person is
worthy, since you are doing for some other zaat being.
Ashafaque mian can you ask.
Question: What is Ghaflaat?
Answer: Ghaflaat is connected with zikar, forgetting
zikar and then fikar, your first question, of not
remembering zikar first, not reciting tilaawat of the ayah
verses, in reality we see all the root cause of all sins is
Ghaflaat, a proof in the Quran, those who forget
Ghaflaat Us, We impose a shaitan satan on them, those
who forgot zikar were turned over to there nafs, meaning
handed over to taguan e nafs, a good question regarding
Ghaflatt, the good news is that those who realize and are
consciousness and aware of not forgetting Ghaflaat, is
not forgetful, since those who are forgetful are not
consciousness of being aware of being forgetful. The one
who is afraid of losing a treasure is aware of and
conscious of not losing it and has a treasure, one who is
afraid of losing a connection is having a connection, those
who are afraid of spilling over a cooked utensil, have a
cooked food.

Question: muatu kablan anta mautu death before
death, what is its meanings?
Answer: muatu kablan anta mautu what is its meaning
and how is it possible?, there is a beautiful sentence by
our Baba je on this chapter, ‘If one is able to understand
the maqam status of death before death then the
inaamaat blessings and elevations acquired after death
begin to shower and unravel before death.’ If before
dying the status of death is understood then the
blessings showered after deaths are showered before
death. Make a heading of this sentence in order to
understand and this chapter will open up, there is a
hadith e Pak, die before you die, and this hadith e Pak is
part and parcel of the basic syllabus of the Sufia, there
is a sanad reference in the Quran e Pak if we relate the
two the meanings will become clearer, then you will
understand, inaqa myatun winahu myudun, certainly you
will also be mamet , people relate it differently, though
the context of this verse is die before you die, a verse
for ashab e suffah, telling them your Hade Azam
Prophet Pbuh has passed before this stage long ago, and
you will too, what a theme you have reminded us
JazakAllah God bless you, those thinking it as tankhess
is actually shane Mustafa highest and greatest esteem
held by the Prophet Pbuh, dying before dying what are its
practical meanings not just the academic ones? . It is
said about death a quote by Maula Ali karamAllah wajhu,
Death is a termination of lazaat lust, living in this world
of senses leaving lazaat lusts one acquires a state of
death before dying we experience death like form. Since
others death is isztarare the laws of nature, not leaving
anyone, some at 60, 70,89, 90, the old man has to go even
with the best medicine, that is bilkarahat on everyone,
this dying before dying is by choice, example the death
by shahadat, not acquiring it would mean regular death,
those who have acquired the state of death before death
have narrated this passing of the stage of fear, or its
shadow, a common experience of people who have
experienced death before death have stated a state of
death accompanied by the fear. A person who acquires a
desire which eats all the smaller desires, at one stage
that one left desire is swallowed too, leaving that person
with the kaifiyaat state of death before death. An
example being of a mother who acquired a son by prayers,
if his son dies, we say that women died before death, so
is the with salik traveler can acquire a state with sahib e
tasleem o raza obedient people of God, do not complain
when one of their arzoo desire is expunged leaving them
with no desire, one fine morning they do not have a single
desire. This is meant by the quote death before death. If
the wajudi lazzat addictions of the body by practice
drift away, the second stage is of the salik seeker is
engrossed in the desire of love with majazi earthly love,
and one fine morning that is also done away with, a karam
like the shahdaat, what else can be explained in
reference to this question. Rohainiat in all religions is the
base, is the instruments to increase religion, the form
differs, getting disfigured but the seed can be easily
located. For example in Christianity though the sharia
has been abrogated, but any progress in it or progression
according to them is because of their saints, we are
trying to blunt this instrument which cannot be replaced
by jehad bil saif, that saif has no tongue, tongue is also
called saif, the basic postulates are found in Buddhism in
Hinduism in Sikhism, if we make a chart the major
characteristics are the same for all the saints if we make
a chart we will find common charactertics. For rohainiat
in Islam our Sarkar has also defined as Islam having
reached NUR others only till the Ruh reaching from
kiblah to medina, rohainiat in Islam is that the saint will
have a gumbad shrine will get faiz there, there other
saints too like Khalil Gibran going to his tomb in Lebanon
or Ralph Amaldo Emerson in last century died in the 18th
century, has a total saint hood in his books, we get no
kaifiyaat what was written was written, the rohainiat
spirituality of Islam is zinda javed live, that is the true
death before death complete in itself, hundred percent
in the heart. In other places there is no perfection,
because they are not following the perfect zaat, the
footsteps of the zaat.
Question: Recently this question was asked from a
scholar who has come to Lums University from India,
he showed us videos on tasawwuf and on inner
experience, and life of Khawaja Moinuddin chisti, and
other religions, a student asked him a question,
rohaniaat and the inner experience can be achieved by
a Hindu yogi or a Buddhist monk what can we think
about them, not on sharia. Is it an assumption that
following shariat will be the correct path.?
Answer: An Islamic saint even apparently not on sharia
will still be complete. The experience of an Islamic Saint,
or a Muslim saint will be following the salik and amin
personality not only sharia which is a formula but
following sahib e shariat, moves from form to essence,
sharia is the form the essence being following the
righteous personality the fragrance of the personality,
loosing in the personality and his fragrance, that is why
his experience will be very strong and concrete. A fact
which we cannot describe in a forum or a platform.
Question: The answer that scholar from India gave
also said that we cannot contemplate from just
following sharia if the experience of a traveler is
real, because namaz of shariat needs additionally
namaz e tariqaat for an inner experience. What is the
significance of this statement?
Answer: Could be hearsay, while the experience of a salik
will be concrete due to his following a personality.
Question: The Prophet Phub never deviated from the
Shariat, enjoined on to follow namaz and sharia
strictly, even the sahaba did so, and the strong
insistence on following sharia, what can we deduce
from that?
Answer: We proclaim martial law on this subject in
history; but if we see in the same history and its various
jharakoon meen corridors, we can see many exceptions ,
there is an ayah in sura kahf in the shan status of
ashaabe e sufha wa la tatlu bilazena yaduna rabahum
bilgharate those who want the blessing of the Divine
morning and in the evening do not turn from them, there
act should be left to them ,let us see where there are
the exceptions in your statement that you just gave.
There way was only to see the face of the Prophet Pbuh,
and when he was praying they used to break the lines and
come forward to see his face written in history, some
sahaba e ikram objected complaining while they were
praying these crossed the lines, this verses appeared in
the glory of the ashaabe suffah, those who turn to face
of their Lord do not say anything to them, hafez sahib
will better explain it, so exceptions are there from that
period, saying this statement is like saying all sahabe
ikram went for Jehad, that is not so, according to their
temperament the companion of the Prophet Pbuh, Hasaa
bin Sabat did not, like in the castle of Khyber a furious
battle was being raged , he being of a poetic
temperament was asked to protect the part containing
women, where it is said in history janabe safia r.a the
aunty of the Prophet Pbuh, saw an enemy soldier on the
walls trying to ascertain them, fearing he may go back
and tell them that there were only women might attack
them, asked the companion of the Prophet pbuh, Hasaan
bin Sabat to go and kill the intruder, to which he replied
it was not in his temperament to kill, as he being of a
poetic nature, he wont be able to do it, it is said in the
history books that the aunt of Prophet pbuh, herself
took a tent peg and killed the intruder, she asked him to
at least cut the enemy head pick it and throw it off the
wall so that the enemy could get upset, to which the
Prophet pbuh companion again expressed his inability to
cut and throw the enemy soldiers head never having done
so, not having killed an ant, to which the Prophet pbuh
aunt herself did that and then again asked him to at least
throw it off the walls, to which he again stated his
inability, meaning exceptions are there we cannot define
one formula, as there were exceptions there are so now.
It is believed that the syllabus of tasawwuf started from
the ashaabe e sufha, it is assumed that taswwuf started
from them there are statements that can be given in the
public and others we cannot disclose other wise you will
cut our necks. It’s assumed that all the ashabe e suffah
were poor people who for wont of dire needs lived in the
Masjid e Nabvi, on the contrary there were men among
them who belonged to the rich, the brother of Hazrat
Umar being one among them.
Question: Again in respect to death before dying it is
said everyone has a day with death, now we talk of
medicines delaying it, what is the state of this death?
Answer? Is there a day of dying and can there be
maneuvering,
Question: Is there a paradox or have we wrongly
understood it?
Answer: Well the answer is a day of dying is standard and
there cannot be any delay in time. Like the date of birth,
the difference is that of niyaah, an example being there
is of dish before us, if we will eat it without niyaah,
nothing will happen, but if we eat with the wrong
intention we would suffer consequences. There is an
example in history, when Hazrat Ali R.A going to a
mosque left the horse and saddle to a arabe , when he
came out of the mosque he found the saddle missing, he
left without saddle and left for home, then he asked to
buy another saddle which was found to be the same
saddle that Hazrat Ali R.A had lost stolen. To which he
narrated that I had a niyah that who ever will take care
of my horse I will give him 2 dirham but this thief had
missed the opportunity to seek food through the right
means, so as rizq food is destined so is life. Science
spoils the pleasure of life, let them die peacefully,
artificially prolonging life has now become a lucrative
business.
Question: In regards to a Murshid as we talked
before a second question and a paradox regarding the
sharia that you have been discussing, reading books of
Hazrat Wasif Ali R.A and Ashafaque sahib R.A their
adherence to Sunnah, what is the answer?
Answer: We think those who are not accepting form are
wrongdoers, but they may have transcended the form,
not outside the form, but having gone into essence,
because although the formula is straightforward and
certain till the day of judgment, but we have other
exceptions, like we have to stop at the signals to wait for
the other traffic to pass to move to the right , but there
are exceptions for traffic police, the regular police, and
ambulances, breaking one way, infact if they do not break
the traffic signal and reach late will suffer reprimand.
They cannot make an excuse that they were waiting at
the stop sign saying namaz prayers, since there duty was
there.
Questions: There are exceptions in regards to the
Sharia like in the Qalandar silsila , and even
regarding Sufia Karam, even Data Hazur following
Sharia formula because they have to become a guide
how about them?
Answer: A good question there are some Sufia karam,
who are very strict in following Sharia having no
exceptions all their lives, while other appear to be
deviating from the form, in this regards what I feel, is
that those saintly figures who are engaged in the Dawah
missionary work and Arshad speech use the standard
formula, although possessing the formula of exception
also, but will not teach it to their congregations , while
others who are assigned specific tasks, like the traffic
sergeant, the ambulance people, will avail the exceptions
during their duties, but will not teach others to follow.
Question: Takhaulaq be akhlaque Allah assimilating the
color of Allah SWT, what is their Tafheem meaning?
Answer: It is in the Quran Sigbatullah wa manahsanu is
to assimilate the color of Allah SWT, what it is better
than the color of Allah SWT, until we do not see, we
cannot assimilate the color, is not possible to assimilate
without seeing Mushaidah experience we cannot
assimilate the color, will be an academic discussion or
topic, even people use it for a name, everybody will claim
to be in the color of Allah SWT, we cannot understand it
like this, unless we read the Quran describing the Shan e
Risalat status of the Prophet Pubh, inaqala kaqhulaqe,
‘Verily we have send thee with the best of Akhlaque
manners’ in the Hadith e Pak too, the Prophet Pbuh
describes, inambeuztu maqaramam e akhalaque, ‘ I was
send to follow the best manners’ so assimilating and
following the manners of the Prophet actually consist of
being in Takhauaq be akhlaque Allah. If we combine the
two, instructions from the Quran and Hadith sayings of
the Prophet pbuh, we are led to believe that inducting
into the character of the Prophet pubh, is actually what
we mean by Sighabat Allah and also Takhaulaq be
akhlaque Allah, accepting the colors of Allah SWT. In
this we see that in akhlaque allah, the predominant
quality is Rabubiat, that Raab is nourishing the people,
foremost being Sattar alayubi seeing the sins and
mistakes of the people and covering them not exposing
them, until the human himself exposes them, feeding
people irrespective of their religions and beliefs, do not
the Wali the friend of Allah have the same akhlaque
qualities, feeding people, having langar food stores, not
telling the sins of one to the other, even spreading the
Faiz message, irrespective if someone accepts him or
not, so the protocol of the Waliat the characteristics
are being elaborated here, so you should do rabubiat, also
hide the sins of others, feed people, zaat not lowering
itself to the level of zatiaat personal, so the Wali does
not reject people for not accepting him. So in one
sentence takhauq akhlaque allah means to follow the
character of the Prophet pbuh through a Wali Allah a
friend of Allah and his akhlaque allah. Reading seerah
through books is very easy, but putting it into practice is
difficult, what is forgiving the other but a practice,
akhlaque mannerism is infact is a practice or practical, to
see someone who is a sahib e akhlaque in reality is when
we travel with that person, when we deal with that
person, in daily idiom we cannot call someone sahib e
aklaqaue until we deal with him, anyone giving a lecture on
manners or writing a book or talking about we cannot say
good about , we usually mentions a sahib e akhlaque by
saying that person has insaaniat humanity, otherwise we
say he does not have humanity anyone far from manners.
Meaning the perfume and the scent of insaniaat humanity
is cognizant with and of Al-Insan. The more we follow in
the character of Al-Insan Prophet pbuh’ leaving
bashariat , moving from bashariart Shariat and gaining
rohainiat and nurianat and acquiring humanity, the
practical meaning of Takhaulaq be akhalaque Allah will
so defined, we can make it into a sentence ‘Tasawwuf
itabhai karadari Mohammadi hai ‘
Question: Do we follow a person who has acquired
itabhai karadari Mohammadi living in these times, or
do we read seerah books on the life of the Prophet
pbuh?
Answer: A very good question a very basic question,
clearing all the concepts, happy to hear this question,
opening a chapter or a book, there will be as many
answers as people writing the tahfeems explanations, the
greatest book is Quran e Pak, all great scholars have
written the explanations , so we see Pervaiz sahib, so has
Sir Syed explaining with maps the miracle of Nile a tidal
behavior, as well as the Shaq al Qamar, splitting of the
moon to Nile as having scientific explanations, the book is
there, treating Salah prayers as establishing the order
of charity asking those going to Hajj of instead of
wasting of money to give it to the poor and start a
welfare project , so taking the person out and leaving it
to books would result in such a meaning, having great
intellectual level, perception and wisdom, people treating
them as great scholars, there level of intellect not like
ordinary maulvi sahib , those following them are led to
as many explanations of the Quran as many tongues, the
followers perplexed of following the book or these
personalities, leading to schism when we take out sahib e
kirdar role model of a character , at cross roads do we
follow this person or directly the book. Peaceful only for
those following them, other being critical, leading to
individual scholars, in the book Pehli kiran there is a
philosophical sentence, us na kaha kese ke baat na
mano, kese baat ko tasleem na karo, pass hum na uss
ke baat ko tasleem kya pass hum na uss ke baat ko
tasleem nahi kya. Following them one cannot establish a
jamaat e mohammadya. Those who are after Tazkia
purification of the soul are after sahib e Tazkia, is a
basic formula, if everything is written in the books why
do we need a guide, we are not going to read it directly,
because we are not interested in philosophy but a living
role model who will help change us, for mental luxury
libraries are enough, not bringing transformation in their
character. This is an important paradox, a very important
question. Why can we not implement from the book? But
instead read with a reader.
Question: In atabai e rasul do we read from the
books of hadith, and then will have a role model to
explain it by his character and role as a model?
Answer: We are at the juncture again, will we acquire a
role model by reading books, or will we decide what and
how to read Quran e Majeed in the light of the guide
and the role model dictating to us. There are so many
books on physics, and in this age of internet we read it on
the internet. Will we read the books first and then
ascertain the way a teacher of physics teaches or first
listen to a professor teaching and then ascertain physics.
Claiming to be a scientist.
Observation: The physicist Max Planck was an excellent
researcher but not a good teacher, not having the quality
to teach.( as described by Rudolph Peirls.)
Continuing: The role model is going to ascertain the model
role in your practical life, the role model can be judged to
be imperfect. This becomes a question, combining the two
questions, are we to read the book first, or read it by
the consent of the model. Taking it to a superlative
degree your concept, let me ask you a question? Have we
recognized the Creator by following the prophet pbub or
the other way round?
Observation: Believing in the prophet pbuh first then
following the book.
If we are reading the Quran e Pak in the light of Hadith
e Pak, would reading one book under the light of the
other.
Question: Now we need a role model, as told by the
Prophet pbuh we believed in the Kalama and then
studying the Quran e Pak, as we do now either
following the imam e masjid or the teacher, making
two plus two of our information. Do we need a role
model two understand the Quran e Pak?
Answer: Until we know about itaba following the Prophet
we learned it from book, we do qayaam stay at one place,
we will be still doing two plus two, in your question, we
have the answer, either following some imam, maulvi
sahib, or teacher, we have heard from someone without
accepting the personality, an academic discussion, a
scholastic study, until we remain at one place, the start
of the Ilm can be done only when we take a permanent
teacher. We will not able to have tarseel e ilm or
tarseel e khayal, only an academic discussion. A concept
of basic nature.
Question: Is there a problem with us, having read
these books and not following the teacher who taught
us and making him our role model, even Khawaja
Ghareeb Nawaz R.A, Data Ganj Bahksh?.
Answer: There were people at that time even doing two
plus two, making objections, when he made a mosque
people objected, when Hazrat Ali Hajeveri R.A said,
that Islam has 6 pillars, the 6th being food and
distribution of food, in the baheshti dervaza door to
paradise objecting that paradise is in the hereafter how
come this door. So there were people even then doing two
plus two. When we are in apparent state, either the
listener or the speaker a doubt remains, whether a
teacher or a student, when the doubts are removed we
become, sahib e yaqeen, do not need Qutb ul Aiktab, a
matching or match making, like we say in English for a
marriage, when the match making is complete we do not
need a Prince Charles and Lady Diana for that.
Question: In these times, we need a role model, in
the time of ashab e suffah, all the suhaba were not
together all the times, and eating and drinking
together, in the time of Data Hazur R.A , people
could get together more, now we can meet once a
week, there was more time before with the Murshid.
Now we have to go work and other pressures of life,
how can we manage our time and how far can we go in
this path?
Answer: In these times due to corporations and going to
work distracts us from meeting the guide. Did we
understand the question, if Muzaffar sahib can explain,
will be good, as he is sitting next to you, Qurb nearness,
is not physical, it is not physical, which should then be
most prominent with our family and wife, if Faiz could be
due to nearness, then the wife should be most nearer, we
have read in the books that a saint travelled from
Bukhara to Ghazni in six months and left after a short
time, this nighabani blessing exists even in absence,
example a langari food server, is doing his work making
food, with someone taking food before us, many
complaining they have been sitting nearer and the other
person took food before us, it depends on sheddat e
jazbaat the degree of passion with the khayal idea
before the physical closeness. Let me explain, first and
foremost if there is no khayal idea, nearness does not
have any meaning, a few moments is enough, many people
who meet others say that your advice changed us, I am
not talking about myself, completing a six month quota, as
the child grows from primary or elementary class
undertakes longer number of hours under surveillance by
the father or teacher , later on as the child grows a
lecture is enough, writing takhti tablet stops, 99 percent
work is done by khayal, physical presence just needs a
match to light on the bonfire, so we need dry leaves,
have to keep on cleaning the pot, so that a few drops
could clean it, in transformation tazkia purification a
sentence is enough, because without the khayal idea, “
Going away lighted the fire, saying a big thing in the
ears”. It is not volume of work, but depth of the work, a
live sentence, since without the sublimity of the khayal,
we cannot undertake tazkia inner purification without
physical presence generates negative questions, role
model modifying and proclaiming our own khayal on our
entity, until it does not done it is just an academic
undertaking a theoretical thing, bringing no change in our
personality, needs a physical presence a physical stick,
the question you asked these are a refinement and
addition to it how to make it practical, in the books there
are six Kalama, first tauheed, second shadaat, third
majeed, fourth fifth asthagfar, and the six .So who ever
sticks to the first kalama and practices we say, that is
the last one on this person, after reciting the Kalama is
should also descends on the person, warid with tawaraad
continuously descending like a water fall continues to fall
in the northern areas. Making arid lands fertile with ever
increasing presence of water, a continues process, so is
with the heart needs a continues downloading of the
khayal, there must be something when Kiblah Sultan
Bahu R.A said, when the “Kalama was recited by the
Murshid and I found bliss”. Basic question to clear the
meanings of Shariat and Tariqaat. He had a great
knowledge of zahiri and sharia books. These are basic
questions to understand Tariqat and Shariat.
Question: When we read the books from a role model
whether Quran e Pak and Hadith and their tahfeem;
would he explain them as the Prophet pbuh practiced
them and provide the explanations by doing it?
Answer: The one on whom are of inam and kalama is
warid on them, would certainly explain and then provide
the reference, the listener understanding the connect.
Question: When it is said that the deen came to
overcome dominance of one group of people on the
other, taking one from the slavery of the other to
give them under the slavery of Allah, how do we
explain it and become a slave of a person?
Answer: Yes it is difficult to become a slave of any
person, as the names Ghulam Hussain, Ghulam Muhammad,
Ghulam Rasul, are not used in Saudi Arabia should be
Ghulam Allah.
Observation: The main crux of a deen is to free
slaves from the slavery of people and make them the
slave of Allah SWT.
Question: So how do we explain this formula how is it
implemented?
Answer: If we make an essay of this sentence and have
all humanity live in a jungle, will not be easy as everybody
would have their own rules and regulations a chaos, so
there is even in a secular society a hierarchal order, some
of them have to become a Ghulam slave of the other, if
there is no subordinate, and no one will accept the order
of the other.
Infect we have to accept to the slavery of their slaves.
When people say what kind of quackery is this peeri e
mureede, deen code of life was brought not to enslave
but to emancipate, this is because people do not know
the meaning of Insaan, as said in Punjabi we say bandaa
ka puttar baan, until we submit to a person the start of
the story does not begin. When it was said, La sajaad u
la ibless. The system of thought or school of thought is
just of seventy years old, unlike the Ottoman empire as
they were naming Ghulam Mustafa as well as Ghulam
Hussain, for 500 years they ruled, now the government is
different, for example if Iran takes over would we follow
them, the way they say there prayers, a political activity.
It is said follow what is happening at the Markaz center,
for a long time Hijr Aswad the black stone in Kaaba, was
transported to Yemen. Hajjaj bin Yusuf cannot be
accepted as role model having his authority and
government, this question of yours is elevating to a point
providing solace, what is the next logical question, can we
ask is Insaan ghair, what is ghair is insaan GhairUllah, is
insaan GhairUllah or AinUllah.
Question: Sarkar Wasif sahib has explained that in
the end to reach Allah SWT, we reach a person, a
Murshid a role model, but we have to help the layman,
there are those who do not believe, a layman, to
reach Allah is this person helping the layman the
required goal?
Answer: We do not reach many people, wahaadat
illuminates the ahdaayat ones , love plays the role of
transforming our conscious from kassrat many to
whadiyat ones leading to ahaadyat, this wahidyat
introduces us to the ahdiyaat, is insaan ainUllah or
Ghairullah, ain means eye, inssaan the eyes of the
Creator but not the creator himself, ain means eyes, you
know the subject of grammar being a professor of
Arabic, the meaning of insaan is from insss eye, the pupil
of the eye, when the Creator has to see His creation
through this eye, He has to see through his eye, when He
wanted to know Himself, He created a human, kuntu
kanzun mage feun fibtu fakhratu khalaq, insaan is very
big thing, if we are able to sit next to a true guide that is
an epic moment in one’s life, we are using inssaan as homo
sapiens a misnomer, using wrong term of using inssaan as
species a general term instead of a personality, making a
mistake in our concept. The definition of tasawwuf as
described by Hazrat Ali Hajevr R.A in Kashaf ul Majub
is “ Tasawwuf is describing the ausaf e insaaniat
qualities of a true human being”, If we keep on
remembering Inam yafta, the true insaan we will be able
to transform and able to some degree be recipient of the
inaam, on this question another platform can be created
let me give you one, a further step, since the beginning of
history or creation of Adam, has been divided into two
camps, first ones who attested to the greatness of man,
and the other ridiculing one. Like Habeel and Kabeel, a
separation both within and without religion, takdeem e
insaiaat respecting human, and takreem insaniat
respecting man, and the other not doing so tazleel e
insaaniat ridiculing, whenever a dichotomy results in
describing this concept, whether in a mosque we have to
see if there is praise for man or otherwise, if not just
leave that place. If there takreem e admiat respect for
man then admit to it, intellectual postmortem has two
things, takreem e insianaat dignity of man or adaam
tazleel e insaniaat lack of dignity, do not be misled by
form or similar words, otherwise the first attack by
those who damage intellectually make an appealing form,
this person uses tasbeeh beads, says his prayers a lot,
keeps fast, these are the forms, but if this person goes
against takreem e insaaniat dignity of human, then leave
that congregation so as not to waste time. The book will
not provide falah salvation a person will, the book will not
be a source of help a person will. The book will prosecute
applying all clauses, a person will provide the means,
saying this person is good and had tried his best.
Question: In respect of safaarish, insaan has to
change as he is ashraaf al maqhloqaat until we change
from Homo sapiens to an insaan, what steps are
needed as the Quran e Pak was sent?
Answer: What are the steps to change from a biological
being to becoming an insaan, there are 124,000 steps
according to the Sharia, each Prophets pbuh taking one
step, seeing the rising sun at the heights of Faraan
otherwise not possible, cutting short the journey homo
sapiens to mard e admiaat we do not know the steps, but
from mard e admiaat to marde inshaaniat was 124,000,
so this journey is not as a species, but of an individual.
Question: Assafleen lower animal, the life of an
animal is to be avoided, but how, having a choice to
be a true insaan or perish as dust?
Answer: In the journey of rohainaat, we say we do not
wont to die as an animal, but then we are challenged and
told to live like a human, those having conscious see
people being born as animals and dying as animals, not
wanting a biological death in the this life of fragrances.
Potential is there.
Question: When it is said, that the purpose of

creation of human beings, was for God to know
Himself, in this journey the teacher may not want to
describe the end, what is the goal or the end?
Answer: Taklqaue be AkhlaqueAllah, is the goal, in
tasawwuf it means the Qatra’s drop of water’s eventual
desire is to become part of the ocean. Baba Bulleh shah
says: “Who I made a friendship, became like them”, and
our Sarkar said : “jaade yaad saade dil which ude sade
ako goot” so its Takhalaque bil Akhaqlat Allah, not
having any Individual desire to become the desire of the
Creator, there is nothing to be afraid of, are we afraid to
die, that is why we say “Qalo Ina Liilah ha inalillah rajoun”
Question: Wahadat ul Wajud could damage
Tauheed(unity) matwali of khana kabah saying so?
Answer: They say so, reading wahadat ul wajud could
damage tahueed, but until you reach wahahadt ul wajud
it there will be duality, One Him and one creation, will
never reach tauheed until reaching the fragrance of
wahadat ul wajud.
Question: We say La illaha, there is not God but Him,
and how do we explain it?
Answer: In algebra we start with assuming the value of
this thing is La , then we read it as this was the answer, a
very arefana answer, we need a black board to write, the
ghair seperation is doubt, maybe it is not ghair separate,
as the conscious develops ghair and ghariat disappear,
negating the negative, and sanwait separation does not
exist, Quran e Pak says “Allah ho nuraas samaawat wal
ardh”,” Allah is the light of heavens and the earth “we
should question our question instead of defining
separation, kabah is not ghair separate , even it is
concrete, cement and sand, we still say Kabbah cannot be
ghair separate, but we call wajaullah ghair, ina ma tulu
suma wajaullah ,” Which ever direction you seek will
find the face of Allah”the one we are seeing with the
eye of separation, if we see with love then the separation
will disappear.
Question: In regards to wahaadat ul wajud, a debate
was going on whether Quran is makhlooq or not what
is the meaning?
Answer: Is Quran makhlooq or not, if it is then it is
Kalam e Muhammad, some people contending that kalam
aur kalamat were of a human , although there was an
inspiration, but the words were of Muhammad pbuh, but
this would result in the kalam and kalamat being
distorted , would lead to humanly addition , leading to
imperfection, so to negate this concept people gave their
lives, as this was being implemented by the rulers of the
day, the true concept is Quran is not makhlooq but it is
Nur as there is no distance, for if we call it maqhlooq
separation will exist, the inspiration came and people
started to use their own language, light is here and in the
heavens, but if Quran is makhlooq then the language is
earthly and there will be no separation. So tuheed is the
diminishing of distance, to follow any latif pure thought
we need to clean the earlier slate of concepts , if we
follow the chapter of primary class, along with algebra,
we get confused, in the age of multimedia, there is no
slate, only concepts are discussed, these concepts can be
further elaborated.
Question: In Kaaba there was there no presence of
Allah when Kaaba was being kept? With their keeping
so many idols?
Answer: The concept of lat and manat idols were that
they followed and negated the concept of Tauheed, they
did not believe in concept of wahadat ul wajud, kuffar
polytheists used to say, that all idols were bundled
together into a unity, when the Prophet pbuh proclaimed
his Prophet hood. There conscious was technically
negating wahadat.
Question: There concept were not cognizant with
wahaadat ul wajuud?
Answer: They had compartmentalized into various
directions, if they had gathered on wahaadat ul wajud
they would then have no objection, kuffar used to object
on this unity. Alaham a wahid, were there is belief there
is no concept, only following the commandments of the
Prophet pbuh, being kuffar, only to understand we
propose it like this among ourselves.
Question: What is Shirk?
Answer? Shirk is giving preference to another concept
then the sayings of the Prophet pubh , shirk is
compromising on adaab e risalaat, you must be telling
your students, to adding in the zaat and siffat of Allah
anybody else is shirk, we consider shirk, let us go back
which Allah, the one that is written in book, that is raab
e Mohammad, to define shirk not doing bookishly. For
example while living under capitalism, propagating
socialism, the verdict of tahueed according to the
Prophet pubh. Considering money as the savior, or power
and money. We are victimizing Allah wala saint, barzao
ragbhat where the paigam e tahueed message of
tahueed is coming we are attacking then, as coming from
the tombs of the saints we call it shirk, where the
message of tauheed is coming.
Question: Talking to saints at their tomb is not shirk
as contacting them is possible, for them it is not
Ghaib hidden, is that so? For us there is purdah gaib
hidden, for any kaifiyaat coming to us, how do we
explain?
Answer? Those who are not contacting that won’t be
shirk, will not those who are able to contact shirk? The
contact can be one sided, not necessarily can also be one
way, not always two ways not be shirk, If speaker is not
working or the battery is down, the signal is coming one
way, One way communication is going on, when we go to a
saint, one possibility could be they are sitting next to us
we ask them a question, or we know they are in purdah in
their hujrah, if we go to meet someone a saint and come
to know, that they are in purdah, so we leave a note, and
when he is available, he will take a notice, why are we not
coming out of time and space. Why have we restrained
people by time and space.
Observation: We cannot perceive this communication.
Answer: Yes we leave a message why we have made
insaan and ourselves constrained by time and space, like
our Kiblah Wasif Saheb could be contacted before, 18th
Jan 1993 and not later, we have put a restrain. Our own
perception, bounded by time and space, which he is our
own guess.
Question: We have been attuned to thinking like that,
contacting or asking for any help is shirk for those
not present before us, why is it like that?
Answer: If they take help of Jinnat is shirk, like we say
we can ask sahib officer, Bill Clinton or Bush is sitting
before us, we can ask them for help, but those passed away a
little time ago, we cannot, then what is the concept of wasta or
Wasilla, it is not point to point, not at the same frequency, there
is a library on both sides, having read the books before.
Question: Wiping out what is before on the plate needs to be
wiped out to entertain new concepts, is that so?
Answer: We are in a friendly opposition zeeshan sahib is pointing
to a theory of shirk, we can ask anyone before us, but asking
from one who is not before us is shirk, until we have mushaida
things do not clear up, when people go to medina pak, however far
we from the tomb, a prayer comes out, Oh Prophet guide us,
there experience. This distance is diminished in masjid e nabvi,
not have a feeling of separation, time and distance can make us
move a couple of thousand years here and there, as soon as we
board the plane is because of the location or we are in the special
state, so the separation is in the mind. As soon as the 14 days of
ummrah is gone, our desire to put up an application ends, all the
secretariat is there, all the pen and paper is there. All the daily
activity is there. Changing Qal into Hal, this is the truth, your
concept of mijaz e khuda, in our student life he did not believe,
all of a sudden he fell into love, calling his beloved as ya, one day
his friend said here you are saying ya and not there, all the thing
is about yaad, whoever has yaad remember will say ya,
Observation: A Prophet saying “You’re saying daarod e pak is
narrated by the angels and that with love myself”
Continuing( Dr Azhar sahib): He told his friend “What I can do
but say ya” take it at a singular level at your own level not a level
of jammat not as a group, were there is love it is true, where
there is intelligence will be ghairat, when the heart is together
keep on moving. Once talking about lewdness, and reading a
column in order to explain it you, sorry about that, the women
who wear a burqa is alright, according to their concept, who
leaves a burqa without cap, is not good, she says I am alright but
the women who wears a chadder is not. There is hijab keep on
removing it, and feel shirk will start, stop there.
Question:
Answer: The answer should be mushaidadate based on
observation, I had a friend who went to Data sahib, and saw a girl
in bad shape, I saw she belonged to our office, whose parents
told me she had problems, but when we took her upstairs she got
fine, any kahayal thought at Data Saheb will be good, the first
khayaal will be fine and the second we will be translation, a friend
who is retired IG police , could not understand, he told me, what
is the difference, Hindu worship in the temple, you in the tomb,
his thesis was long, but the practical solution I told him, you are
from Lahore, there are temples here, in Shadara for the
minorities, go to one night at Data sahib, and the other at that
temple, and you will find the difference between nur and
zulamaat.
Question; The difference is there, why is it so?
Answer: Sitting at home it will be an academic discussion. For
tarbiaat if one get faiz there, will ask you to go a live saint.
Question: What is being transferred from person to person?
Answer: The thing about Kiblah Wasif sahib R.A was there is no
purdah of munafaqat, when they said we go on morning and day in
your company, but this person who and got instant faiz, so true
people are trying to find true people, apart from the format
path,for tarbiaat you will be send to a person being transparent,
So once you go to the tomb of a saint and acquire Faiz, you
will be directed to a live person. The contact does not entertain
any munafaqaat, or nifaaq, with transparency. Try to unravel the
purdah, coming to a stage saying I am mohed, being tauheed
parasaat, when things move to friends. I do not know how I
remembered this column of Kishawar Naheed, that is the
murshid who is going to friends and telling everyone. The one who
is kissing the stairs is doing shirk, I just went out of love,
doubting others love.
Question: The mushaida of Riyaz sahib what do we learn?
Answer: All these sahib e nisahanat e manzil are all milestones,
ask a traveler of the importance of the milestone, going to
Islamabad when we see we are 40 miles away, out of love grabbing
the stone, the person is just giving directions, for the traveler
there is no shirk, the one who is not there is shirk, in the journey
of saafar janab ayaz was a milestone, a mountain and Everest of
determination.
Observation: Was a great joy to visit the tomb of Kiblah Wasif
sahib today.
Answer: A combined effort of our friends, we give apne our love
a grade but giving a derogatory remark to the other, one who is
pak by reciting Kalama, how can he do shirk, one who is well
dressed and having come to masjid, how can we treat him
otherwise, practically the shirk for a Muslim is loving money that
is shirk for him, depending on money.
Observation(Zeeshan sahib): Hardly anyone can claim to be devoid
of the love of money.
Continued( Dr Azhar sahib): Hadith e Pak, the world is opened up
on you,
Observation: ( Humair sahib) A hadith e pak says. Every ummah
has a fitna and the fitna of my ummah is maal possessions. Now a
day’s people main objection is bidat and shirks while hoarding
money and taking interest is not considering that a business..
Question: Hoarding money is shirk while takreem e insiaant is
getting acceptance in our society why?
Answer: We call this shirk hoarding money is based on concepts,
one of my friend narrates of his pir, the pir was quiet old, while
going to Sahwwn shareef being very hot, when the train got
close to ghotki I raised him and put him on a bed in June and
July, while I was taking care of him, after about 20 minutes, a
malvi sahib who was observing us in the traditional getup came to
us, and asked who is this gentlemen, I told him he is my father to
avoid fitna , he said to pir sahib you have a very nice son. When
the maulvi sahib left my pir sahib said, you did the right thing
and avoided fitna. Deen has come to give najaat to humans from
humans while what we are seeing in this example is different.
Meaning if he been doing that activity for his father would be
alright, but for his spiritual father will be shirk. For a salek e
tariqaat the easy path is to avoid nazairi discussions, and keep on
doing his work and practical quietly, the unfolding of the path by
travelling will be due to his sincerity at whatever level. For the
one having niaayah for him the hajj starts at Lahore airport
otherwise will not happen in Jeddah. Everything depends on
Niayaah intentions and not the distance. Nawazshaat unravel
from niyaah intentions and one sign is acquiring shauq and then
salamati in shauq then zauq in shauq, and when zauq in shauq is
achieved then it will be forever.
Question: Why is there is no stability in a human mind ,what
are the ways and conditions to acquire that?
Answer: The instability in a human is by default, different ideas
occuring, by being unstable in sooch thought, when the synthesis
of the thought is done, when a khayal is acquired then the
stability occurs, the other thing being opposed to khayal are the
ambitions be followed in the zahiri and batini, in achieving any
target, the target should be to become mukhlas sincere, if there
is ambitions outside there will be depression and anxiety, I had
asked Sarkar Kiblah Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, sir how is isteqaamat
achieved, he said to me why do you want to attain stability, if it’s
a power outside then why attain it, if the question is outside
should not exist, otherwise the achievement of power may result
in becoming a Pharaoh, if its inside then it’s a Mubarak sign,
Question: This is a journey of the inside?

Answer: It does not mean being stationary, like a doctor going to
lectures and wards, starting practice some refresher courses are
carried out, the sadaqeen keep on having discussions, few and far
between ,there dimension might change.
Question: Talking about time and space how can get out? The
journey keeps on.
Answer: In reality time and space exist and the desire for
getting out of time and space should be taken out, for we might
end in another reality, why not remain where our Creator has
decided.
Question: What kind of ammal action will one do? Because we
cannot understand many things being in time and space.
Answer: Time and space belongs to the Creator, that is journey
of a salek travelling in a cable car, how it moves depends on the
cable car, we just have to review, like in Fortress stadium, have
cups of play land moving around, we just have to sit and watch,
some charge 50 rupees some charge 500 rupees, for a watch and
able use all of them. So it is buying one watch and selling oneself.
Question: We pray kalama tauheed, la ilaha illAala, and then
mohammad au rasul Allah why is it so?
Answer: First it is Mohammad au rasul, for if we do not climb it
we will not take the first step. The meaning of LaillAllah is all the
faculties, any hindrance should be said no to, until the soul knows
itself, it will not know where to go, and being resistant to
authority, when the nafs understand itself does not remain ghair.
Ghairat remain till Law amah.
Question: As it is said namaz is a difficult path for all except
those who know they will meet and return to Allah?
Answer: Until a person comes to one’s path and goal one does not
understand. For nafs mutminnah is a whole chapter. Yahyu la
nafs mutminah, meaning in easy terms, ghatkah program, tere
mere aik marzi, Your and my desire are the same, will not change
after that, while lawamah acts like a monkey going back and
forth, to and fro is of lawamah, the difficult thing is everything
is practical, have to do it.
Question: Then how do he view the shaar? When he is in nafs
e mutminah?
Answer: Now he becomes part of khair being nafs e mutminah,
sees like the little brother as being ignorant, viewing like a bigger
brother with wisdom, seeing a younger brother, khairr aur sharr
the basic difference being khairr knows its end, the train is
coming while the sharr does not, whether farz aur wajab, not for
sawab blessing but as duty to protect from disaster, knowing the
end, not saying let’s leave it. When we are tuning our car or
changing the tyres, we do not think it is farz aur wajab, the car
has to be in the best condition.
Question: Is Astagafar Hal in nafs e mutminah or in lafs e
lawamah, or just nafs e mutminah? The contact Allah with a
banda human or of banda human with Allah is through astaghar
due to weaknesses. Astafaghar
Answer: Can you please clarify why you have used it in HAL, the
word Hal is related with Maqam, so I thought why have you used
it.
Question? I have used Hal as a kafiyaat, when a human know the
weaknesses, a malamat on nafs e lawamah, is that so?
Answer: For example if you will ask me if astaghafar is not in
nafs e mutminah, if it is not in nafs e lawamah, the Prophet pubh
used to say astagafar 70 times in a day. Are you saying it to be
kafiyaat. Then what is the question otherwise will be bookish.
Question: If it is a kafiyaat as a concept then what are its
implications? Is it valid in lawamah or mutminah, while asking for
forgiveness..
Answer: Astagafar is in lawamah, in mutiminah its “ Meen
alhamad da wired kumia menu bholia astagafar” a thing for the
ummah, so in mutiminah inbasat the kafiyaat ,state of bast
expansion this statement will be valid “Meen alhamad da wired
kumian menu pholia astagafar”while in the state of qabz
contraction, astagafar is for the present state, a forgiveness
for the higher states of being climbed by the traveler. I do not
know if I am able to explain it, since taubah forgiveness, means
to return, a state in lawamah going back and forth, while tauba
we have tawab and anaba, in mutiminah the kafiyaat is of qalb e
muneeb so the chapter of forgiveness recedes. Depends on the
boiling point like that of water if there is a candle will take four
days to heat, if there is tandoor may take a few minutes does not
care if it takes days or mintues, the goal being arriving at nafs e
mutminah even a few seconds before death.
Question: When having reached nafs e mutminah, what is this
the fear of return?
Answer:The Marifaat is both in the chapter of Khair and Shar,
there is a constant fear of breaking the abulation, even one
without abulution reaches babe marifa but through shar but does
not reach the end, even after entering babe a marifaat there are
many a slip s between the cup and the lips, mutiminah is not a
certificate for passing.
Question: In Quran how is nafs e mutinah defined?
Answer: When it was asked at roze alast the day of pledge,
am I not your Raab Lord, some said it right away, , and some
said we will think and decide, ya hayu al nafs e mutimah ,is
a feast, feast of nigah, feast of ziyafaat, feast of najaat, a
poet says” Ankh uttah ka na deekhen batarfe e habib
yoon roze e mahshaar me meen sharam saar hoaa “ of a
very famous Sufi possibly our Wasif Saheb , I was so lost I
could not concentrate, becoming a mutiminah all the way is
different, as seen from the sayings of the Sufia.
Question: If a person is not able to reach nafs e mutinah,
before death, and after death what happens?
Answer: Yes one who has passed to nafs e mutiminah, transcends
or bypassing Barzakh, otherwise has to wait for eternity.
Question: Why are three stages of Nafs soul? However Allah
created the three stages we cannot question, He did it is
right but to understand , what is Hikmah of the three stages,
why not reaching and transferring and transformation directly
to Nafs e mutiminah?
Answer: Perhaps that is the law of life, like a seed remaining in
zulmaat darkness, for months and years is ultimately brought to
life and creates a bud, eventually becoming a Pine tree and the
Fir. A Law of life, zulmat darkness was created to remind of nur
light. We were created finite reminding us about the infiniteness
of the Creator. The angels are in malkoot are not in nasood , but
do not have marifaat, insaan is in nasood even after doing
mistakes, is qualified and greater then who never walked. One
who is made to be Vice-gerant is made to visit all the
departments, starting from scratch, as is known in the Saigol
family, those who are to be made the head, start from the desk
of a peon, then clerk and so on having to take over the Vice-
regency of their business. Nasood is necessary, mistakes are
forgiven, to be able to see and walk on.
Question: Is matter ghaib or khair?
Answer: This is a difficult question, Wahadat ul Wajud is
addressing the whole body not just matter, and it is jai jalwa gare
e siffat, aik zzat ke mttunwo aur muttadad kessam ke siffat ke
liya jolanga hai ,is an arena, since we are in intermediate now, not
saying to matter out of fear, who are beyond matter can say it.
When a person is in a hijab, it is not permitted to pronounce its
negative. Theoretically we can say it is not ghaib hidden.
Question: On reaching nafs e mutminaah is it possible to still
be not having marifah?could have reached nafs e mutminah
and still not have its knowledge?
Answer: No, what we call marifah knowledge/ cognizant is
marifah knowledge/cognizant of the nafs soul.
Question: There are people who are ahead of marifah knowledge,
and find them at peace in everything, in taslim o raza, being
mutmin satisfied in everything, believing everything is being done
by Allah, but marifah knowledge is not there subject why?
Answer: Mutiminah does not mean peace in everything. It is not
subject to a command. Not meaning that one cannot do anything
and says he is in peace. There is a difference Taslim is not with
compulsion is subject to free will, you have full right to reject
and still come under obedience, not just taslim o raza being a big
subject should not be called just taslim o raza it is a big
universe, does not mean just to accept.
Question: Could be a Wali and not congnizant of it, he is in
darga e waliaat, and hence though could not know he is in
nafs e mutiminah ?
Answer? Waiiayat is a department a special proceeding, could be
a Wali, as narrated in Kash ul Majoob of there being more than
4000 in descending order, not knowing of their Waliyaat nor of
the others, it akin to administration , studying in a staff college,
not knowing what post or what power will be assigned to him, but
will definitely be from the college, marifa is totally different a
person could have marifah but still not on the pedestal of a
Wali, it is not mandatory to having marifah knowledge, and be a
Wali at the same time having marifah does not
Question: In regards to nafs e mutiminah is it possible not to
have the knowledge of marifa?
Answer: The journey of marifa starts from nafs e lawaamah, it
is possible a person can have marifa, but still make mistakes, not
having determination, making mistakes and knowing it; it is not
possible to have nafs e mutminah and not having marifa, cannot
be possible, in nafs e mutminah not knowing, is like a cattle being
a brother of a cattle, saying whatever I receive is enough, not a
short cut for a simpleton.
Question: My question maybe is like listening to a Hadith all night
and asking in the morning whether Zulekha was man or women,
maybe quite irrational. is marifia e nafs the crux and the most
fundamental as you just described everything is marifa e nafs,
whether a thought has arisen due to our nafs or according to the
Will of Allah what is meant by marifa e nafs.
Answer: It is one of its manifestation, what is called marifaat ,
If we want to understand it in context and background of
literature, philosophy want to define is of juz getting to know its
relation with Qul, what is my relation with the whole , its
frequency and positioning.
Question: I realizing that I am nothing it’s all about the Will
of the Creator and so on?
Answer: This is there but not everything, to understand like
children, let us suppose there being a big setup, with lacs of
people working a big company with different departments, from a
qasad, to peon working for a salary, not familiar with the aims and
objectives of the company and its projects, what the company
want to do with them, we can call them abideen and not arafeen,
whereas there are other positions, people who know what is the
requirement of the company there own contribution and activity,
like working for a company Nespak, we can say this person knows
the 5 year plan of the company has marifah e nafs and marifaat
e kar, a person discovering the equation and its relation with
Qul, the reference point, like a big graph which has a point on it
and having y axis and x axis all the drawings having a reference
point, until this point discovers it is equation and knows its
relation with the reference point all it struggle is absurd.
Question: When the juz one discovers an equation with the
Qul, is that discovery individual for every soul? Having
discovered can tell us what to do?
Answer: Yes it is not jaamat sazi, not the congregation, falah
salvation is individual.
Question: If I have discovered my equation can I correlate it
with the equation of another person? A big figure like Hazrat
Ali Hajveri R.A? Is there such example who have written
book, like Baba Fared R.A?
Answer: Yes it is an important point, does discovering ones
equation helps in correlating with another equation.
Question: We can get a sketch from other equations which
were discovered before us , discover our being, our status in
relation to the Qul our own postion ,like the statistics of a
graph with the amount of production, getting to know the
equation. Like the production in 1970 was so and so?Can
reading some ones equation who discovered it before us helps?
Answer: Yes some formulas can be derived, but the discovery is
individual, can get some help in understanding one’s own book, for
example if we a salik reads about Allama Iqbal R.A, we are
amazed thinking him being our class fellow, thinking the same
thought as we are. Some matching occurs, but this discovery is
made by traveling, as Wasif sahib R.A said, “Knowing about a
path and traveling on a path is not the same”.
Question: My question is a childish question.
Answer: Do not belittle yourself all of us benefit, when we
gather together, some of us the host getting better food
courtesy the guest, khayal is rizq food is also revealed, a question
is never small or big, insaan human has to be sincere at the point
where he is at on the footstep of the ladder, requiring us not to
climb four step of the stairs in a rush, would become difficult
otherwise.Let us find the gist, draw a lesson from our discussion,
before we leave , the lesson being we have to be mukhliss sincere
So taking home some lessons for tonight, the goal would be that
we should travel towards transparency, whoever is transparent at
whatever point, starts getting wisdom, personal ambition creates
opacities, take out your own self-interest, doesn’t not our view
transparent, making it more practical, “ Not having any material
interest in our spiritual journey, if we decide on it our journey
states, sped and give our self, not let other spend, not becoming
or slaughtering others sheep.
Observation: We slaughtered.
Answer: Exactly. Baqra bana qasai da. In this journey, the
spiritual elevation attained by the one who sacrificed.
Question: In the rohani spiritual journey can a desire to
become a wali or reaching waliaat is it self-interest or?
Answer: Mafad is zahairi and hijab batini. Please reconsider your
earlier concept and observations step by step, without being
accountable, so many people have passed who we call inaam
yafta, were they all doing shirk, all doing bedat, from 1350 years,
we just learned it 50 or 60 years ago, this is wrong that was
darkness, the biggest destruction is fikari idea being destroyed,
waylaying one without realizing and making him go to another
path, the biggest signs of fitare natural path in reference to
fikari path is it opens up, and never experiencing a wall, not
letting us into a closed alley. And in ghair fitari a wall comes up a
closed alley after a few steps. Having to find a
Question: When talking about shirk and its definition related
to zaat and siffat, the siffat of Rauf, Ghaffar and Kreem
are basic definitions also used for His Prophet pubh in Quran
e pak, so this does not hold? What is the answer?
Answer: This definition should have been applied to non-Muslims,
in the Rab that we believe these are His traits, if you have
another god and using these traits for him, instead we have used
it for the Muslims. These are actually the definitions
unfortunately of the Saudi syllabus, if we read the books of 6th
standard on Islamayat on tauheed, the alqaab saying someone
the remover of difficulties, and provider of sustenance. The
definition comes from the Gharijeen, who started applying the
ayah applicable to the Kuffaar no-Muslims, they started
implanting on the Muslims, hizb has two distinct categories,
having two distinct entities as hizb e Allah and hizbe shaitain, as
saying whoever said commander in chief committed treason,
saying that in front of the commander in chief.
Dr Azhar Saheb’s mehfil on 3rd January 2015.
Question: Concept like Balai sabaab in Ilm aur Akhlas and Bila
Saabab what do they mean, can understand without a cause, but
what does beyond a cause means?
Answer: Bypassing the cause, directly or overruling the fauq ul
Asbaab, some time we write for linguistic beauty, does not infer
anything deeper. Without cause Bila saabab means bypassing
cause asbaab, Balai saabab is fauq ul Asbaab, here means the
whole system of cause and affected is done with.
Question: When someone falls ill, has to acquire some remedies or
take medicines asbaab, but can we accept Shifa as bila saabab
from the Creator as without a cause.?
Answer: This life is based on cause and effect, but manifests by
some cause and effect which in itself is not an opponent, but once
cause comes it is itself manifested through some wasala means,
could be construed as desire, mafad if only cause is accepted as
the remedy Love is such an entity when a cause comes in between
love becomes mafad, As Hazrat Ali karaam Allah wajhu narrated
who ever recognized Him through attributes siffat, will
constitute shirk, doing away with marifaat.
FIRST MEETING WITH BROTHER ABU BAKR REGARDING

ACQUIRING RELIGIOUS GRANTS….May 25th 2016.
Asaalam o Alaikum,
It has been a while have not communicated with you, I keep on

writing my essay on men and women of understanding Ulul
Albaab.

ْ
Qur'an does render the correct premises in the word, (‫أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ a title granted by none other than the Creator and
Sustainer Allah (swt) Himself, Lord of the seen and unseen, as
the epitome of all understanding, modern scientism, excludes
domains of experience beyond sense perception, limits human
intellect (Aql ) in its search of the Providence. The unity of the
message of Qur'an for men and women of understanding is in
essence the oneness of God.(Tawhid). It is not preordained for it
can lead to shirk, but an actualization of the self or ego achieved
in the hearts of the (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ by the Grace and Will of Allah
(swt). The two acts of this Will of the Almighty, the inward
(Batin) and the outward (Zahir), the Creator of things in pairs is
reflected by theRuh of the insane al kamil, the divine vicegerent
(naib). As the definition of the word (‫)اْل َ ْلبَابِ أ ُ ْولُوا‬
ْ symbolizes.
Leading to the hadith of the Prophet of Islam, ‘Takhallaqu bi-
akhlaq Allah’, ‘Create in yourself the attributes of God.’ Fortified
with.
1. Tawhid
This (Quran) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against
them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they
may know that He is theonly One Ilah (God - Allah) - (none has
the right to be worshipped but Allah), and that Ulul Albab( men
and women of understanding) may take heed.
2. Hikmah
He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is

granted, is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember
(will receive admonition) except Ulul Albab (men and women of
understanding.)7
3. Two kinds of verses in the Quran. A) Have clear meanings. B)
Having hidden meanings or not yet understood because knowledge
has not advanced to that level.
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses

basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the
foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose
hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical,
seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one
knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly
grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of
it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except Ulul
Albab (men and women of understanding).
4. Endowed with Knowledge and Taqwa , without pride, and false
ego, choose the right meaning of the words.
Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it:
those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the
ones endued with understanding.
For Quran warns those who invent false Hadith, or words in the
following verse.
But there are, among men, those who purchase idle tales, without
knowledge (or meaning), to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah
and throw ridicule (on the Path): for such there will be a
Humiliating Penalty.
5. Revelations (Hadith, words of Allah) in the divine book of

nature and the divine books revealed to the Prophets.

And the alternation
Of Night and Day

be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire."
(Qur'an, 3: 191)
I have extended Ulul Albaab from 3:189:200 as suggested by Dr
Azhar my mentor, as he says this gives the whole process that a
Sufi who is also a naturalist goes through. And read the ayaahs in
their whole context.
And I pointed out to him have we ever noticed when Qur'an gives
an authentication of women or female as also included in the Ulul
Albaab, as my mentor is kind of patriarchal.
Yusuf Ali: And their Lord hath accepted of them, and answered
them: "Never will I suffer to be lost the work of any of you, be
he male or female: Ye are members, one of another: Those who
have left their homes, or been driven out therefrom, or suffered
harm in My Cause, or fought or been slain,- verily, I will blot out
from them their iniquities, and admit them into Gardens with
rivers flowing beneath;- A reward from the presence of Allah,
Male and Female if we consider the ayaah 3:189-200 not doing a

selective study but in the whole context. Female too are Ulul
Albaab, where our Talib (student back in Pakistan, through all
his sincerity misses this point in Islamic Education.) in the
process destroying girls schools.
Do not describe the vision or dream one has but to describe its
FAIZ.
I have send Zaytuna college and their Dean Mr Mahan Mirza a

telescope as per your suggestion and last month added a CCD
camera to take pictures of the COSMOS. Samawat wal Ardh and
our Nafs together forms the laboratory to see the ayaat of the
Almighty Creator. Will inshaAllah mail them to your when their
Astronomy department has a class in the spring semester only.
Bringing the naming rights back, I have named scientist as Ulul

Albaab, in my essay, which has grown so extensive cannot email it
any more.
Dear Shaykh, all this effort also includes Tazkia e nafs please
pray for me to have a pure heart, as the word Lub signifies,if we
read Arabic English Lexicon by William Edward Lane describes as
the choicest part or a purified heart.
I have been in my discussion with my mentor pointed out to this,

he was adamant at first not understanding Ulul Albaab, but after
an effort of two years, we have come to a mutual understanding,
Ulul Albaab are in fact Arafoons , and that Ulul Albaab is the
potential nursery in which waliyat is born or enriched. JazakAllah
khair.
As my mentor used to stress on Kashf ul Majub sharif only but I

have convinced him, though that is the fundamental book still in
Islamic tasawwaff in Lahore Pakistan, but Ulul Albaab should also
be included in its dictionary. In a lecture by Dr Martin Lings in
Lahore in 2005 he pointed to the word Ulul Albaab as the Quranic
authentication of the word Sufi. And now listening to your
lectures on Islamic Education more closely today I wondered am I
rediscovering the wheel, the ones you gave in Ft Lauder-dale Fl.

throws ideas down like a pyramid, captured by the intellectuals,
who then pass them on to the general masses.
Though not claiming to be an intellect but just bouncing your

ideas. I have launched a vigorous campaign to introduce the idea
of Ulul Albaab in our mosque and schools around, and writing
flyers and handouts to advertise Islamic Education as also
stressed by you, in your lectures.
As, I have also given or denoted books to Pak-Turk school in

Lahore, and trying to build a Radio Telescope in my former alma-
mater near Islamabad.
I, have talked to the mayor of the city of Sunrise in Ft Lauder-

dale to have a program to install telescopes and use it as a
meeting point for interfaith activity.
I keep on translating from Urdu to English the mehfil or sangaat

of my mentor Dr Azhar Waheed, as we have four hour lecture by
him every saturday on skype.
I am blessed by Almighty when a few years back I had complained

to you, I read the Quran without a guide. I found Dr Azhar a Sufi
scholar from Pakistan, but I STILL do not understand the
concept of Wahadat ul Wajud, would go by the definition of
Yusuf Ali for now , "Not everything is He but His is everything"
as differing from my mentor, who says according to his mentor
"Wahadat ul Wajood is a mushaida" La majud Allah, concepts

difficult for me to understand at my present state or station. I
am a novice in taraiqah just peeping in the class to get a glimpse.
Question:- I have a question in my mind , I have read a lot

about it, asked many people this question, which is why has
the Khalaqa Kainat (Creator of the Universe) arranged and
created this whole Nizaam(system), a question I have asked
many and usually get a traditional answer.
although this is not an answer. If you note that when you get into
a relationship with someone, then the question of asking how and
why immaterializes. And if the relationship is not developed or is
in the stage of developing, or the question of developing does not
arises at all, then the questions of how and why are infinite. Why
did you do this, why did you that. But if one gets hold of the link
to a relationship, then instead of asking one starts to narrate and
to answer. There is one relationship between the Khaliq(Creator)
and the Makhlooq(created), and the other being a secular
relationship, which is relationship of the Creator with every of
His creation, with every being, with an ant , a lion, but in the
relationship with Insaan(human) there is something special of
what that has been communicated is in the form of Quran e Pak.
How and why, to ask the questions there was by Insaan (human)
In Arabic language Taa is used instead of Tuu, so using Taa the

word becomes Taluq , so the whole Ilm is tere taluq ka naam, Your
relationship.
Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that
exists),

There is a point created by the Sufia, yeh tera taluq hai, this
question you asked has another dimension, another
perspective, how did I arrive here, what is the meaning of my
being here, question is the same, the question is being asked
more decently , if we get answer to this question we get answer
to the others, in Quran it says ‘Do not ask, but instead you will be
asked’ I usually ponder what will be asked of us, like did you read
the Quran, and said yournamaz, but another question can also be
asked in this context is , did you in this vast world where from
besides Milton and Archimedes to Abu Ali Sina, Rumi and Razi
pondered on at their levels, did you also try to discover
yourself, who are you ?, where did you come from?, what is your
purpose?, if we see a graph paper, and the four axis go
into infinity. When we draw anything on the graph we need a
reference point, drawing anything without a reference point will
be meaningless, unless a person considers himself as the
reference point and starts to find and make himself the
reference point and then the meaning of these questions of why,
and how start to unravel . The question is what is the Wajah e
Taqhleeq Kainaat? You will not get an answer to your question
from outside, like if you are working in a bank, I as an outsider
will ask what are these people doing from morning to evening,
keep on counting repeatedly like some mad adventure. But those
working in the bank a part of the bank, know it is a very serious
issue , like those working in the World Bank, a little error in
calculations will cause great problems, a small discrepancy in
counting will be hazardous for the bank. So even to find
this Nizam, those people who ponder on how the Creator created
this vast Nizam stretching into billions of years,
working effortlessly, reflecting how a child is born, then one
has to become a part of the Nizam e Qudrat of the Khaliq
consciously not academically butilmi and consciously, in this
respect the education given to us is first enter Taslim then do
Research , reach research through Taslim, Iman is the syllabus
of the heart, not of logic, The question is what is the Wajah e
Taqhleeq Kainaat? We have to create Taluq first as its solves all
entanglement of the rope, do know the kuna, the root cause for
which we have to become first the part of the Nizam ,then things
will start to Ashkaar( unravel), like while working in a bank the
first we thing we do is apprenticeship , although already having
studied banking, so instead of asking the Creator why and how He
started the creation, why everything has been created, first find
yourself finding a reference point in your own self then all the
drawings and maps will manifest on the graph, we do not
a mantqi (reasoning) point of view, so that we would be able to
communicate to others, instead of controlling the impulse to
narrate to others, and coming out of this impulse to tell others,
instead of deciding only to narrate to ourselves and understand
only ourselves and not to tell anyone else then we will see we
understand much more , usually when a person hears or read he
tries to rationalize, because if he has to tell someone else then
he should have logic, so if the human instinct to rationalize and
human intellect has a basic instinct to rationalize is overcome for
a short time , our scenario and our aperture will open, like in a
dream when we are trying to understand or communicate, in a
dream we don’t have an impulse to communicate so in a dream we
understand much more. The filter of logic removes many pearls of
wisdom, and many pearls do not pass through the filter, thinking
as leftover a human throws them away.
approaches written on ones mindset, that slate should be cleaned,
then in the state of acceptance (ba halaat e tasleem) try to
read whatever is being written by itself, since whatever has
already been written so far on our mind has been written by some
one else by others, on the contrary what is in our slate we have
written by our own hands, the only book that is verifiable is the
one which is our own book.
Answer: This question is very important of how to clean the slate,
this is a very easy and a very difficult way, if one is in Tasleem of
someone it is a matter of 2 minutes, but if one does not come
in Tasleem can become a stupendous task of life. When one
comes in Tasleem( accepts) someone things become very easy, I
will give you my personal experience, when I came in the company
of Sarkar Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, I had read all the
philosophies of old Greece, Khalil Gibran, the Halqa Arbab e
Zauq , the critics gatherings, laden with all, but it was miracle not
my effort, miracle was his, when we came in his trance, when he
made us Tasleem , not saying we came in Tasleem since we did
not know, when and how we came in Tasleem, it never came to the
mind that this point was discussed by this Sufi or that writer,
also said something like this, not coming in the developing stage, I
came when having read everything , so it was a his Ijaz that all
that was written , the heart and mind came together , otherwise
one says I am listening and this is just one, of the
many explanations this did not happen. So this is the way of
cleaning the slate, cleaning the slate is a spiritual level and
journey of all spiritual matters and tasks start throughTasleem,
bypassing the contents of the Mind and the bypassing the mind is
accepting Tasleem. If we reflect on how big the Haqiqat are the
Angels, reward and punishment, Allah Tala which do not come in
our experience, but as soon we come into Tasleem , we become of
those Haqaiq, saying salaam to the angels and getting wa alikum
salaam. The whole Ijaz is of Tasleem, getting in the domain
of Hadood e Haraam, when those who have not accepted find a
board, that says those not in Tasleem go this way, only those with
Tasleem go this way as the Hadood e Haraam has come when we
go to umra there is a board, when coming into Muslim town about
35 miles ahead is a board the rest are sent in the bypass, its all a
story of Tasleem , the cleaning of the slate is smaller event
of Tasleem with the brush of tasleem, eroding all other brushes,
as the saying goes, the pen was given , giving us permission to
write, whatever one want to write, example when we come to a
physician carrying many files, the physician prescribes a certain
medicine knowing what medicine to prescribe , like in a spiritual
prescription too we work in a hit and trial method, going to
different doctors, and also having our own prescription,
transmission.
What is the relationship between Tasleem and Mohabbat is
tasleem possible without

JazakAllah Khair,

keep on counting repeatedly like some mad adventure. But those
working in the bank a part of the bank, know it is a very serious
issue , like those working in the World Bank, a little error in
calculations will cause great problems, a small discrepancy in
counting will be hazardous for the bank. So even to find
this Nizam, those people who ponder on how the Creator created
this vast Nizam stretching into billions of years,
working effortlessly, reflecting how a child is born, then one
has to become a part of the Nizam e Qudrat of the Khaliq
consciously not academically butilmi and consciously, in this
respect the education given to us is first enter Taslim then do
Research , reach research through Taslim, Iman is the syllabus
of the heart, not of logic, The question is what is the Wajah e
Taqhleeq Kainaat? We have to create Taluq first as its solves all
entanglement of the rope, do know the kuna, the root cause for
which we have to become first the part of the Nizam ,then things
will start to Ashkaar( unravel), like while working in a bank the
first we thing we do is apprenticeship , although already having
studied banking, so instead of asking the Creator why and how He
started the creation, why everything has been created, first find
yourself finding a reference point in your own self then all the
drawings and maps will manifest on the graph, we do not
a mantqi (reasoning) point of view, so that we would be able to
communicate to others, instead of controlling the impulse to
narrate to others, and coming out of this impulse to tell others,
instead of deciding only to narrate to ourselves and understand
only ourselves and not to tell anyone else then we will see we
understand much more , usually when a person hears or read he
tries to rationalize, because if he has to tell someone else then
he should have logic, so if the human instinct to rationalize and
human intellect has a basic instinct to rationalize is overcome for
a short time , our scenario and our aperture will open, like in a
dream when we are trying to understand or communicate, in a
dream we don’t have an impulse to communicate so in a dream we
understand much more. The filter of logic removes many pearls of
wisdom, and many pearls do not pass through the filter, thinking
as leftover a human throws them away.
approaches written on ones mindset, that slate should be cleaned,
then in the state of acceptance (ba halaat e tasleem) try to
read whatever is being written by itself, since whatever has
already been written so far on our mind has been written by some
one else by others, on the contrary what is in our slate we have
written by our own hands, the only book that is verifiable is the
one which is our own book.
Answer: This question is very important of how to clean the slate,
this is a very easy and a very difficult way, if one is in Tasleem of
someone it is a matter of 2 minutes, but if one does not come
in Tasleem can become a stupendous task of life. When one
comes in Tasleem( accepts) someone things become very easy, I
will give you my personal experience, when I came in the company
of Sarkar Hazrat Wasif Ali Wasif R.A, I had read all the
philosophies of old Greece, Khalil Gibran, the Halqa Arbab e
Zauq , the critics gatherings, laden with all, but it was miracle not
my effort, miracle was his, when we came in his trance, when he
made us Tasleem , not saying we came in Tasleem since we did
not know, when and how we came in Tasleem, it never came to the
mind that this point was discussed by this Sufi or that writer,
also said something like this, not coming in the developing stage, I
came when having read everything , so it was a his Ijaz that all
that was written , the heart and mind came together , otherwise
one says I am listening and this is just one, of the
many explanations this did not happen. So this is the way of
cleaning the slate, cleaning the slate is a spiritual level and
journey of all spiritual matters and tasks start throughTasleem,
bypassing the contents of the Mind and the bypassing the mind is
accepting Tasleem. If we reflect on how big the Haqiqat are the
Angels, reward and punishment, Allah Tala which do not come in
our experience, but as soon we come into Tasleem , we become of
those Haqaiq, saying salaam to the angels and getting wa alikum
salaam. The whole Ijaz is of Tasleem, getting in the domain
of Hadood e Haraam, when those who have not accepted find a
board, that says those not in Tasleem go this way, only those with
Tasleem go this way as the Hadood e Haraam has come when we
go to umra there is a board, when coming into Muslim town about
35 miles ahead is a board the rest are sent in the bypass, its all a
story of Tasleem , the cleaning of the slate is smaller event
of Tasleem with the brush of tasleem, eroding all other brushes,
as the saying goes, the pen was given , giving us permission to
write, whatever one want to write, example when we come to a
physician carrying many files, the physician prescribes a certain
medicine knowing what medicine to prescribe , like in a spiritual
prescription too we work in a hit and trial method, going to
different doctors, and also having our own prescription,
transmission.
What is the relationship between Tasleem and Mohabbat is
tasleem possible without

Asalyakum
Its been a while have not communicated, but my search goes

on. Yesterday in the morning Fajr prayers got into a heated
argument with the tableegi jamaat, later regretted, but could
not help as one of the respected teachers, giving the bayan
commented on the loss of Islamic civilization, and how the
youth of the present are being seduced by modern culture in
the guise of progress behind Science and Technology, I could
not hold and narrated the Hadith of the Prophet Pbuh on
3:190, where he cried, on those not reflecting and pondering.
Chapter (3) sūrat āl ʿim'rān (The Family of Imrān)
Sahih International: Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and

the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are
signs for those of understanding.
The speaker mentioned the verses as humans created for the

sole purpose of Abideen, or Arifuun. Would call those who
reflect and ponder as them both, when verses 50-8 Qaf calls
them to reflect and Sura Hashar 59-19.
Chapter (50) sūrat qāf
Sahih International: Giving insight and a reminder for every

servant who turns [to Allah].
One of the respected engineer who kinds of head he jammat

in South Florida, Rafique Dandia a very pious man , who when
he reads these verses in the morning prayers , brings an
ecstasy and joy I have not felt, besides the tears flowing. At
least there is some one reminding of the importance of these
verses.
Unfortunately while I was in mujadila as one of the verses of

the Quran tells us to do. Even about the Creator with,
knowledge , guidance and revealed book, before reminding us
the heavens and the earth have been subdued for a purpose.
I did not intend to but somehow mentioning brother Rafique

Dandia, as those who read these ayah but do not reflect, as
the cause of our decline, the leaders and the leading
proponent of Islam miss, in our dialogue or mujadila.
But I do not know what is happening with me, kind of what

When a human humbles his being, his soul, his form, all the
things around him start revealing there secrets, the
secrets of the self. Living in absolute obedience and abd, the
universe itself knocks on his(that of the abd) door, to give
him the registry of the new timetable.
‫وجود کا عجز تم جب‬، ‫کو تم پھر تو ہو جاتے بن ہیوال کا عجز اور روح کی عجز‬
‫عاجزی ہیں۔ جاتی لگ بتانے رموز کے سفر کے باطن چیزیں ساری کی اردگرد اپنے‬

Today when I went to teach, I with thinking if I could Jim,

another teacher who taught me the
new archaeological discovery related to the Bible, found out
he had quit a year ago, while the whole day went by, at the
end Jim comes in the door , accompanied by his daughter, and
I said Jim, you and me are both mystics.
But talking the talk and walking the walk can also land you in
trouble, a few days ago, I eat some food as my whole family
was away , and I choked, later to read it can cause death, a
warning I making too many tall claims, but I still do ,
hopefully the Lord understands me, if the advertising agency
can put up on the road, signs of scantily clad, why not a
mystic opening up and explaining his bill boards, though as you
rightly said in the FT-Lauder-dale talk, you being a brick
wall, bouncing of ideas, so I seem to feel.
Was reading Kim by Rudyard Kipling, seems a story of some

kind , where I too am an actor on the stage, when he
describes the Zamzamah the gun he used to play on , so did I
as my house is a stone throw away, and also close to the
famous Lahore saint, Ali Hajveri. ra., never knew him, that
he existed, as even when we used to go there, did not know
about the mystics as I do now.
" The experience of the inner experience cannot be
described."
And also things manifest at their own times, when still young
at age 21, still remember the date, Tuesday 16th 1975,
sorry wrote 15 when I sent you my dream, forgetting the
date as I remembered it to be Tuesday, checked again and
found it to be 16th, now during the same days, had requested
my former boss, to explain to me the meanings of the ayah,
3:190, he did not, to find you writing to me.
"Those who can handle the heat of Quran would be certainly

be saved." not the exact words, out of the top of my head,
but I have saved that email you sent me the following day or
so.
Communicating with you, for almost 7 months, wonder you

were reading all my mails, as this vision was at the end of a
long email. When you sometimes replied at other kept
silent......JazakAllah Khair.
I have Alhamdu lillah started a vigorous campaign to denote

telescopes to the mosques, including one to Masjid Ul
Mumineen.
Probably I had mentioned earlier to you the strategy behind

it. Denote a telescope to build a rapport, and then start the
dialogue..Mujadila keeping in my mind the above verses,
eloborated by the article by Dr Altaie. Being a nuclear
physicist myself enjoy his description of the quantum theory,
how one day we might find a Unity, or something close.
When I met Pakistan own Noble Laureate, Dr Abdus Salam, a
very humble man in Dec 1979, asked him if I could get a
scholarship to Trieste, Italy where he had set up an
international center for theoretical physics.And also asked
him if I could write to him, but he narrated a story, I do not
remember now, probably out of P.G Wodehouse.
