Preface• ) العالی ) مدظلہ اعوان اکرم محمد امیر حضرت حقیقت۔ بیان کام کا اسلام حقیقت، تلاش کام کا سائنس• …These questions are common to religion, philosophy, and higher poetry. But the

kind of knowledge that poetic inspiration brings is essentially individual in its character; it is figurative, vague, and indefinite. Religion, in its more advanced forms, rises higher than poetry. It moves from individual to society. In its attitude towards the Ultimate Reality it is opposed to the limitations of man; it enlarges his claims and holds out the prospect of nothing less than a direct vision of Reality. Is it then possible to apply the purely rational method of philosophy to religion? The spirit of philosophy is one of free inquiry. It suspects all authority. Its function is to trace the uncritical assumptions of human thought to their hiding places, and in this pursuit it may finally end in denial or a frank admission of the incapacity of pure reason to reach the Ultimate Reality… the level of matter, the level of life, and the level of mind and consciousness - the subject-matter of physics, biology, and psychology, respectively …Physics, as an empirical science, deals with the facts of experience, i.e. sense-experience… The sense objects (colours, sounds, etc.) are states of the perceiver’s mind, and as such excluded from nature regarded as something objective …(Allama Iqbal, Reconstruction of Religeous Thought in Islam)

• Domain of Science is natural order; Domain of religion is nature’s purpose. They are two different yet complementary fields of human activity. (Hewitt, Conceptual Physics)

Why Religion & Why Islam?• Religion is in the subconscious of all humans: Always seek a power that

solves his/her problems and help him/her in difficulties & fulfill ambitious etc.

• We find in the history man without cloths, without culture but not without religion: every tribe or nation has some customs on the name of religion; even denying every such power is also a religion!

More basic questions in the words of Allama Iqbal are,” What is the character and general structure of the universe in which we live? Is there a permanent element in the constitution of this universe? How are we related to it? What place do we occupy in it, and what is the kind of conduct that befits the place we occupy? These questions are common to religion, philosophy, and higher poetry…” (Reconstruction of Religeous thought in Islam)

It is our duty to find the answers of basic questions like: Is Islam only the truth? Do some truth lies outside Islam? Why to be a Muslim? etc. As Kufar is mind invention so its effect is only on mind: what Ima’bia says is the

voice of their hearth, Qalb (receiver of Wahi) descend in Qalbs. Religion of Kafir is worldly things and world of Muslim is religion.

NO Limits

Rouh & Aqal• Two opposite powers in human Rouh n Aqal based on two different substances of

creation– Matter whose end is Fana, give birth to Aqal: its reach is matter and its desires and make

decision for things that leads to body leisure.– Aqal prompt natural abilities, it learn from worldly knowledge, events & experiments:

using them move forward for materialistic inventions.– It did not require good deeds like halal, haram, honest, truth etc no relation between

manners and Aqal. It just take care of body leisureness.• Rouh: on other side think body like mean of carriage for itself and take care of

body, as a traveler take care of his transport.– The progress in Roah relates to the Barkaat-eNabuwaat and results in improvements in

personal behavior like of shahbahs (Raziallah talah Anhu).– Make body submissive to the deeds that reults in Qurb-e-Ehelahi, so decide in halal,

haram in every walks of life etc• Question is who is under whom? Aqal is under Roah: Islam; Aqal is driving Roah: it

is everything except Islam.

Maqa’am Nabuwat• Basa’at Rahment is “Big Bang” of Roahnat & is for forever• Nabuwat is a door : we see in it, we see “Jamaal Bari”, go through it we

got “wasaal bari”• Wahee: Qalam-e-Zatee of Allah, requires a unique ability that only

belongs to Qalab-e-Rasool • Love not trade; one feel every noble habbit belong to Rasool I am

nothing; Azmaat Nabuwat (without it one cannot hear the truth eg dua in Ta’af); Follow (condition less); Adab-e-Nabuwat (Shahbah in presence);

• Interface between Human and Allah; recives Wahi from Allah and explained (Hadith & Sunnah) to whom those accept the Maqa’am Nabuwat.

• Ishaq-eNabi is a very delicate relation a minute error can break it permanentaly

Life Features: (Al’am Dunyah)• Child n Toy: try to see what inside (natural desire to know)• We elders: do artistry, fails to satisfy our self

– due to fears: like some body say us Kafir, it’s ill attitude etc • Difference between teaching of Prophet & Lecturer

– Later transfer only the words– Former gives Words and feelings: if Prophet tells about hunger, hearer got feelings of

starvation too. Example are Shahbah (Razi Allah Ta’alah anhu Ajma’een)

• Is it possible & how to See inside with this bodily life?– Near death all Muslims and Non-Muslims see the angels and talk to each other (Quran tells

about it)– Why not to try to get this state before this time?

• Attention toward Rouh life more than bodily life: doing Zikir Allah round the clock in presence of Sheikh with this bodily life.

• What are the Salient Features if one got this state?– Man do not scarify the losses of Rouh but prefers to scarify the damages of materials. Bear

the hunger, but do not eat haram etc– Then all hidden get appears as this life of Rouh is any way “is our own life too” that’s

depends on this bodily life.– With this life of Rouh man got his “natural desire to know” satisfied: And now the taste to

accept is all together different then without it.

• We add fresh soil, water, air, medicine etc to plants for their growth even if we put soil with water it got darken and smelly after some time.

• Same we mix, new soil (in form of foods), new water, air, medicine etc come and go in our body for its freshness; otherwise if this process got stop, it start decaying.

• Similarly Roah has also in need of food(Rizik), medicine etc & its Rizik, medicine etc is “Jamal-e-Bari”: To got it, it has to reconcile itself to the place to whom its belong! “Alam-e-Amar”

• It is the need of everybody that with its body strong and healthy, his Roah should also be strong n healthy: Barkaat-e-Nabwat

Mujahida (Zikir)• The crux (ourput)of all mujahida (Zikir) is “the belief”! That

make’s heart so polished that one find no way, other than to just follow Allah, Rasool Allah and Islam, with no hair line in qalb. Beside this there is nothing required from it as all other expectations are Shirk. This belief is the certificate of “Raza-e-Bari” and so required. This belief is the highest level of Emaan.

• Zikir make a man Scholar (Research minded).• The only Abadaat having no limits but order is to do “round the

clock”.• Output of all Abadaats like Tableeg, Salat, Hajj, Jahad etc is Zikir.• No Zikir means no calm of Qalb (heart) and this means no

accurate approaches in work.

Sohbaat-e-Sheikh

• Shahbee! The highest level in purity, Emaan, Taqwa etc, just achieved by the luckiest, with the Sohbaat of Nabi of one instant with Emaan; not with more Salat, Hajj, Jehaad etc. Same with Ta’abe & Taba Ta’abe.– Means something travel from Qalb to Qalb, known as

Barkaat Nabi . Sheikh is a bearer of these Barkaats and can pour into the Qalbs of seekers.

– Nabi is the only source of inner sight to see Jamal-e-Bari and for this Nyamat we choose Sheikh who can polish our Qalb so that we can see Tajaleyaat-e-Bari.
