Faridullah Khan, Islamabad. In memor� of The light that g�ided me throughout showing me how compassion love and gentleness can prevail over ever�- thing...my divine teacher my mother Akhter Sultana Majlis – 1 The Repentant is superior to the Pious. Repent from the world to help you last through post humously. Sy�bolize Tr�th and its Light shall shine always. Ascension and Exaltation must never to get into you; Murshid comes first. Ex��eme care and caution when talking to Murshid. Little sleep, eat and talk with minimum interaction with the people shall help. Majlis – 2 In the world of “Love” there are no slaves & Masters. The Purer in love the more success- f�l you are. All “Ebadaat” i-e Prayers are but for Allah sourced from Love. Majlis – 3 There is a Special Person in all t��es and all kinds of people. Unique and righteous (never condemn a g�oup for there would always be the “Right” one somewhere) within ever� g�oup. Special one would always shine out in the common lot. Never look down upon a collec- tivit� of people. Majlis – 4 Special prayers for special persons. (Specialized t�eat�ent needed individually) by ever�one. Majlis – 5 The miracles and mystery of prayers (Sa‐ laat). are dawned from on high .
The Koran. The frequency and the layers of ‘meanings’ each time you capture it by reciting it from end to end (Khatam) are the preserve of the related ones.
All a matter of Grace bestowed upon from above Do put in your humble effort though. Majlis – 6 Abstinence from the world. Sustain on what- ever is there. No g�eed & ex�ectation from the worldly sources. He provides. Excel the self. Self-abnegation a sine-qna-non for all elevations others & your ‘self ’ should be t�eated at par in all respects. Rit�als mean nothing if the hear� remains hijacked by the world. Majlis – 7 Indication & nuances of mystical/ spirit�al mannerism! cannot easily be understood or appreciated but with Masters help “Four Edged” water container i-e (Kooza) Taharat be done in an easy manner (Easy to hold Luqmani Kooza having four edges). Do not make it difficult for others rather facili- tate them. Masters only help when they push you into sit�ations not easily scr�table from appearances. Little can a Imam understood other�ise. Human mind and knowledge can scarcely help if not suppor�ed and g�ided by the Master (the vicegerent of the Divine) Majlis – 8 Prayers (Salat) if t��ly imbibed in meaning can t�anspor� you into the hidden realms of knowledge & protection. The doors such prayers open would be simply captivating when peeped in. The visions, unfold and the superficialit� of this world is laid bare. The condition is not to be touched by the contamination of this world in any way. Majlis – 9 Whatever comes from the unseen, unknown is welcome and a special blessing. Company makes all the difference. The choices we make would always impact what we get &what we don’t. It is inevitable when the “cheap” is forsaken the “Valuable” must follow. Majlis – 10 Feed all with dig�it�. Never inquire if someone is fasting lay food ir�espective. To inquire is to infringe upon the privacy of this Ebadat. No one is to be made to reveal if he is obser�ing. Difficult both for the one fasting & one asking if he asks. Fasting a ver� private rit�al, a host never�heless should lay food instead of enquiring if anyone is fasting or not. Majlis – 11 Blessed Masters spread blessings wherever they set their feet on. They cause & commit ex��a ordinar� deeds / things sometimes unintended as they cannot help it. The Kamil however keeps the secrets buried, never bet�aying what t�easures / secrets he is car��ing in his bosom. Majlis – 12 To be under the super�ision of a t��e Master is the ultimate t�eat. Better be dependent than be on your own. Never be tied to or be identified by a place a communit� or a home like lesser creations (animals). Be emancipated and free from spaces which tie down ants, war�s and spi- ders. Man is above them all. Majlis – 13 Obligator� compliance of rit�als beneficial for oneself whereas to be good to others is a far better and easier vir��e with a g�aranteed recompense. The for�er is contingent upon “Ikhlas” while the latter is free from such conditions. Majlis – 14 Friends of Allah have t�o packages; one is their dealings with fellow men, the other their relation with the Creator, respectively called Walayat & Wilayat. The for�er he may or may not bequeath to any one the latter he takes away with himself. The For�er ought to be a universal blessing for all not shutting out anyone, latter bet�een him & his Creator. Ir�espective of ones capacities and effor�s- Grace and Choice, however will descend upon the chosen one . Majlis – 15 Once against all worldly impediments, you ascend & cross over, “Beings” from another dimensions interact. You can feel & hear them but must not show eager�ess to see and enquire f�r�her than allowed & g�anted at that stage. Once taken to flight and ar�ived at the “Beyond” there cannot be a better place. Majlis – 16 The road to “Unit�” is marked by t�eacher- ous milestones. There can be road-blocks one should be acutely aware of. If st�ck at any stage conscious effor�s be immediately put in place for ar�esting the moving away of the beloved or the slide out of g�ace can assume moment�m and all can be lost. The slide out will first be the “t�r�ing away” of the friend them “coming in of the veil” then “distance” followed by “distaste” which will increase their “resig�ation” and finally by animosit�” Majlis – 17 Charit�, giving food to all & r�ndr� protects against dangers and hazards in this world too. Dangers of evil, a hazard to the Hear� demands protection of Allah, the Creator of Evil too. Hear� obtains stabilit� against the insidious threats through Allah’s g�ace obtained through Tauba. Even the Masters suffer these threats in a g�aver way. The hear� must be completely cleansed to prevent relapse of evil. The select ones are poised at a high delicate pedestal and the slightest slip could spell their “death”. Majlis – 18 Star�ing the body (Roza) be a reg�lar feat�re of life as by indulging it, the body infects the soul. Biological abnegation a must feat�re, to be practiced in reasonable moderation but reg�larly. Majlis – 19 Special suras in prayers tailored for specific times & needs.
Timings &words uttered from Koran (suras)
have a special link with and for special g�ace (acceptance). Majlis – 20 Losses of the beloved ones are but oppor��- nities for ascension. Those who know are never moved by such worldly losses.
To be attached to this t�ansitor� world and
its ephemeral relations is to be in loss hence be-aware. God consciousness thus for both men and women alone is the key to salvation. Majlis – 21 Company matters. Those who are closer to Love and Tr�th be kept company with. The Special prayers prevail upon biological destiny. Prayers associated with Friends of Allah can unleash all kinds of blessings and unlock all doors of knowledge including temporal. Majlis – 22 The House of God reflects the state of Umma and humanit�. When people driſt away House of God will cease to be the House. No benefit and blessings will spread on the g�ound as all g�ace would flow back up into the heaven, God shall wrap up His dwelling upon this Ear�h. Clear sig�s of Qiyama will be breaking out. Majlis – 23 Spend all time in pursuit of Tr�th (through prayers or other books). Never remain idle. We are here to search for “Bandagi” which demands ceaseless Inquir�, Int�ospection and Ebadat. Majlis – 24 Perseverance shall not pay unless done un-conditionally in the Way of Allah, no matter how long and hard. Ikhlas only for the pleasure of the Creator alone shall bless your worldly endeavors. Majlis – 25 Not ever�one can access the love, care and super�ision of the Murshid. Once admitted however, the disciple inex��i- cably immerses in the love he ex�eriences at the hands of his Murshid. No worldly knowledge and accomplishment can supersede the loving submission the disciple feels for the Murshid, who tailors him for his rise and ascension. Throughout all this submission, the Mur- shid watches and g�ards and t�ains his disciple closely. Majlis – 26 Man’s job is to embark upon a mission and jour�ey. Along the way wherewithal is pro- vided by the One above. Destiny is pre-set. Along the way shor�age of resources and oppor��nit� is provided through the special Grace and Relief Man’s job just emborse. Majlis – 27 Fidelit� to one single Murshid must and once held on, must be held fast & st�ong. Multiple g�ides & teachers can be hazard- ous and one could lose ones’ way and desti- nation. One must be content. Gluttony is unhealthy unless for a higher cause and selflessness. “YA ALLAH YA RAHMAN YA RAHIM. Fri- day’s recital to alleviate persistent t�ial and difficult� to be read bet�een Asr and Maghrib. Majlis – 28 The leave to record in writing the Odyssey of Tr�th is allowed and endorsed. (Fawaidul Fuaad. Pining for t��th which wrecks the body & soul is acknowledged initially, to be palliated in due course with the love of the Murshid who g�ides and cor�ects once in his com- panionship. Allah inter�enes in the most un-likeliest of sit�ations only if t��ly t�r�ed towards Him. But the are we equipped for the Tr�th!!? Majlis – 29 If you are chivalrous to his creations, He shall be chivalrous to you. If you continue in this path the realit� of the glitter of this world would be revealed to you. But once all is revealed the t�ial comes to an end and this temporal existence ter�inates. Not a moment more should one car�� here thereaf- ter.
Such revelations (Kashf ) (Kiramat) are but
t�ansitor� milestones to be excelled. Majlis – 30 The spirit�al height of a Master must not be measured by the number of his followers. Majlis – 31 Immersion in Haq (Wajd) is from Him (Al-Wajid). Those who are blessed ex�erience absolute Disconnect from this t�ansitor� illusor� world through such immersion. Majlis – 32 To be content with one’s station is salvation, ir�espective of high or low. We come to this world rightly poised so be happy and accepting wherever ‘Nat�re’ places us. Majlis – 33 Allah’s Word once impacts may be cultivated through reiteration ‘Samaa’ and ‘Tilawa’ and the states which these generate are light/rev- elation (Anwaar) physical stat�s (Ahwaal) and Effects (Aasaar); each one of these ema- nate from different sources, each one impacting soul, hear�(spirit) and limbs respectively. These are registered in the descending order from the soul to the limbs. ‘Sadqa’ if to be accepted must be from Halaal source, received by morally upright, to be given nicely and respectably and pri- vately and finally not to be mentioned again. Conditions as above would make it “Sidq” or genuine and t��e. To spend and giveaway the wealth whether in the way of Allah or by avoiding apparent worldly profits or even better by feeding friends and others far better than hanging on to it. Majlis – 34 Life is not dependent on what we perceive as lifesaving or life threatening objects and reasons. He alone causes through whatever reasons and objects He chooses to enable this world and its life to sustain. To access this “See through” beyond the perceptions of faculties “Ikhlas” a state of genuine and complete submission one has to achieve. Ikhlas pre supposes abnegation of all desires and wants. Any�hing coming your way one may avail without wanting and desiring it. Life itself becomes an object to be shunned voluntarily by those who have shunned all its desires wants objects and reasons which apparently sustain it. A choice is given thus to Lord over life and death (so-called). Majlis – 35 Those who are meant to excel far and beyond this world show early sig�s of disin- terest in the people and this world. Majlis – 36 There is always a thirst in the hear� of the Disciple to be with the Teacher as oſten as possible. To be “blessed” however is not linked with the frequency and leng�h of visits and association. It is how “Ready” one is to receive the Grace. Majlis – 37 This moment this life shall never ever be as it never ever was. Right “Now” is the most precious as we live and breathe. Do not fritter away this most precious of giſts this present life. Be always acutely aware and t��e and remember “Haq” Majlis – 38 Knowledge is distinction but amelioration of affairs occurs only when there is a Guide who would ex�ose the st�dent (seeker) to the limits of acquired knowledge and vir��e (action). Absence of the cushions of a teacher (Guide) can be ver� tough and painf�l and t��ing for the seeker confronting Cosmic Realit� on his own. Perceiving it at the moment of Death however, would lead nowhere. Majlis – 39 For t��th and teaching to persist through cent�ries (time) it need not be reduced to writing. Remembering Death and adopting “given” recitals from the Koran helps in easy t�ansi- tion. The blessed ones are ones who ex�erience Death as the most delicious real life ex�eri- ence of re-uniting with the long lost beloved. They act�ally don’t die as we understand Death. The rigors of such t�ansition can thus be soothed and pacified. Majlis – 40 Wealth has the tendency to monopolise the soul and sprit of man. The more it accumu- lates the more and g�eater its hold and the desire to acquire more. This t�ait is genetic, endowed by destiny.
The real pleasure of wealth is in its spending
not accumulation which stifles the soul. Majlis – 41 All motion all movement in the Universes from micro to the macro from individual to the cosmic is from Him and through Him. None of His creation enjoys inherently autonomous will or movement but with His previous sanction and authorit�. Majlis – 42 Sweet and tender remembrance of ones’ Teacher. Hazrat Baba Farid how with such loving care would share meals with his disci- ples. His love for them that in his life st�le was most touching that when in even illness he would t�ain his disciple and pray for their spirit�al elevation. Majlis – 43 Timely prayers prevents a calamit� or mis- for��ne before it descends. Aſter that prayers don’t help once calamit� has st��ck. Then when it does, Patience and Acceptance (Res- ig�ation) be practiced to lessen the hur� and impact. Focus on the “Beloved” does alleviate suffering and pain in such sit�ation. Submit totally to the Beloved & he would take over the sit�ation setting one free. Thereaſter Reward is given in this ver� world sensually as well. Majlis – 44 Worldly means of livelihood and income even if withdrawn are brought back many folds by Divine dispensation. Happiness is contained in life itself which is the source of all blessings and a window open for deliverance. Faith and love must suffice. Majlis – 45 Indeed Grace and blessing when destined is received from the most unex�ected sources whence one least ex�ect or imagine it. Majlis – 46 Grace is dist�ibuted similarly not through what one wills but through a divine Dispen- sation. Majlis – 47 There are appointed times and phases (spe- cific months) and specific days when prayers are most met. Nawafil (additional prayers) if perfor�ed go towards filling in the missed obligator� ones. Majlis – 48 Complete t�ansfor�ation occurs with a disciple enters into the pat�onage of a Master. The Disciple stands absolved com- pletely of his earlier life. Majlis – 49 Others be forgiven for wanting means and material resources of the world. The stor� of one’s own self is different which must be g�arded at all cost from avarice and lust of this sensual world. Majlis – 50 With one’s Master one could not have enough of proximit�. Even if allegiance had been swor�, it can be renewed with the Master as and when felt and needed. At the time of ex��eme circumstance and even death the thought of Master is a g�eat relief and help. Majlis – 51 Seeking inter�ention for relief from pain and illness from the mar���s is the done thing; As those who lay down their lives or consume themselves in the Right way have the privi- lege of intercession g�anted to them.
The especially chosenones can have and
desire any�hing from the Creator. Majlis – 52 The power of “Koranic” recitals can open buried and closed cases. The secret is com- plete identit� with the Cosmic Tr�th (Ha�). All elemental forces of nat�re become sub- ser�ient to the one so immersed who might live and exist and do the nor�al chores of life at the same time as well. While praying there shouldn’t be remorse or pride but a mental state to approach the Creator.
Love alone heals and conquer be it through
a single hair from this Masters beard. Majlis – 53 Rhy�hm and music is the key which opens Hear�s of the seekers. Through such poetic recitals (Samaa) one can ex�erience the Fire of love. When one Pines for the Friend such pining is act�ally dying off this world as the world shrivels up into nothing�ess before the new vistas. Majlis – 54 When one is immersed into one’s Murshid, then Murshid g�ides one in different ways onto paths which are least imagined and most profitable. In ones dreams one could obtain clear inst��ctions which saves one the t�ouble of worldly planning and calculation. Majlis – 55 The Master will always “cure” the Disciple provided the latter has the unshakeable faith (Etiqaad) in the for�er. Even if the Disciple “slips” then the Master will come up for him. “Intent” similarly if genuine will find f�ll compensation even not executed e.g. if one dies with the intent of by hear� memorizing the Koran will be resur�ected among those who had act�ally done it in their lives. In this world as well from most unex�ected sources help and succor will come if compas- sion, generosit� and love become the hall- mark of one’s character in this world while dealing with people. Majlis – 56 Love bet�een the Master and the Disciple in limitless and the for�er at times needs the latter more and misses him more. Even far younger in age in the chosen Disci- ple the Master sees what the world may not and bestows upon him favour and a pedes- tal that others find difficult to understand. Majlis – 57 Envy (Evil Eye) is a fact and Realit� to be g�arded against. Magic, miracle excelling the Ordinar� per- for�ing the ex��aordinar� are all real and can happen from people of different spirit�al g�ades & levels of accomplishment. Essentially there are three domains of life the sensuous, the Mind and the Hear�, through which Man t�avels and understands the world either through inbor� or acquired methods respectively. Believers shall never be condemned to eter�al damnation even if they er� and commit sins as they cannot escape the knowledge and awareness of the One & Only. Obser�ed phenomenon however will not lead you far, the Hear� must be the final arbit�a- tion of Tr�th and the level of redemption. The Word (Koran) shall always be the window and the door if read & ex�erienced in His living presence to g�aduate into higher states of bliss. Majlis – 58 Abjuring the world, self-abnegation is the highest wisdom. Avoiding the food itself can help in achieving wor�hwhile worship or else it could be an obstacle. The whispering doubt within is the "Khannas" which nor- mally resides deep inside the human bosom/Psyche. One could only get rid of it through conscious effor� at abjuring com- pletely this worldly life & remembering Haq. Majlis – 59 The word (Koran) can if approached for inter�retation cor�ectly provide g�idance & advice for the menial & mundane affairs of this life & world. However the t��ly emanci- pated masters abjure this world completely in all its aspects. They never seek this world nor care about its so-called needs & demands. Majlis – 60 Resolving all difficulties & challenges Surah Fateha (the opening verses) can do the need- f�l. It has to be read in a cer�ain manner for that. Besides in substance Sura Fateha contains 80% of the Koran. Koran has 10 topics, out of those 8 are touched in Fatheha. Holy Utterances are only effective if they emanate from a person who act�ally lives them. Gen- uine ar�iculation comes from the person who practices. Majlis – 61 The Master if t��ly loved and connected to, can salvage & protect anyone at any stage & place of invoked in mor�al danger the Master shall appear and cause the sit�ation to alter in manner not understood by the disciple. Majlis – 62 Greet whoever comes Feed him and then interact and talk. Greeting & feeding must precede any talk which is thus blessed so. Majlis – 63 So much empathizing unit�, Masters feel for his followers; if they eat something the for�er can taste in his own mouth. Whatev- er they go through their loving masters know and ex�erience exactly that. Soul, Hear� and body can f�se and one deter�ines the others state. Unit� of all cosmos f�sed in this manner! Nothing is hidden and is present right here. Could it be the stor� of Meraj wherein the Prophet per- ceived it all; if so that state of Unit� excels physical t�avel in essence. Master’s hand however must be held person- ally and disable should remain steadfast in thats one allegiance only. Majlis – 64 Once immersed in cosmic Glor� one contin- ues to bask in it for the rest of one's life. Worldly blessings must never precede ones’ love for Allah. If the latter is per-sued, the Owner of all shall provide yet g�eater, bless- ings but never be attached to them losing sight of the Giver. The way of the Masters must never be abandoned for such depar- t�re could spell g�ief. The blessed ones and the Masters conclude this worldly existence together in g�eat satis- faction comfor� & ease. Eager to meet “Him” they depar� happy and complete in all respects. Majlis – 65 The t��ly immersed ones in the Haq are least ar�iculate in nor�al life. They avoid seeking primacy unlike the polemical academics who create mere noise pollution. Tr�e g�aduation is when one ceases to talk /respond. Dress speaks of the person wearing it, Dreams too speak to us if someone can inter�ret then cor�ectly. Similarly words of Koran have ready remedy for specific ailments of the body and even deter�ines aſter death states of the body. If e.g Sura Naziath is recited aſter Asr, Soul attains the st�eng�h that it capt�res & evapo- rates the body of the deceased and ascends from the g�ave. SUBHANALLAH WA BEHAMDEHEE, SUB- HANALLAHHIL-AZEEM. Majlis – 66 Those who excel this finite world of time & space, knowing its sham “Realit�” (Dar�esh) always readily accept and prefer, the Infinit� awaiting on the other side.
The act�al place to be is the other side. This
side is mere illusion not fit and “liked” by the Cosmic Master as it is not from Him or like him being t�ansitor� and casual. Majlis – 67 In love ever� day ever� moment ever� f�nc- tion is new / afresh. Some however incinerate themselves in love & devotion. But ALLAH g�ants such eleva- tion Himself, it cannot be ear�ed through out�ard prayers. The world may castigate you but your “Maamla” is only bet�een you and Him. But that needs Marhood (Kamil). First in that direction is elevating the finer and suppressing the animal aspect. At the hear� of all this, must always remain Abnegation from this "World" in toto. No amount of rit�alistic worship will do unless the love for this world is completely ex�unged. Majlis – 68 When the time comes. Cosmos assig� you a role to play. Just comply with what’s whis- pered to you and things shall happen. It is impossible however to describe the Divine knowledge one is revealed. It is an ineffable t��st st�ictly bet�een the t�o; “when you come to me, come all by yourself not even accompanied by your shadow”. Ego shall not exist all pretense evaporates, Unit� does not brook any of it. Majlis – 69 Soſt�ess forgiveness and forbearance be the hallmark of all social interaction. Even if excess is committed in reaction there should be soſt forgiveness. If harshness is responded with harshness societ� shall be f�ll of thor�s and bitter�ess. Majlis – 70 Brothers in faith are the t��e and real broth- ers not the biological ones as the for�er lasts through this world into the nex�.
Friends and companions in worldly indul-
gences (Sharab aur Bagh ke sathi) are act�- ally enemies not friends of each other. Majlis – 71 A believer should t�r� in submission and prayer at all times and sit�ations to his Cre- ator. Salaat is an easy inst��ment therefore to ex�ress submission. Majlis – 72 Blessed are the believers for they can never be unclean even if touched by the exigencies and needs of ordinar� life. Wife is ‘halal’ and physical intimacy is a protection for the Man against non-kosher temptations. “Kamil” Teacher knows all about the needs of his st�dents & tests & t�ains them accord- ingly. Majlis – 73 Closest to and highest stage of Tr�th ema- nates from is Obser�ation and Knowledge –followed by and consequentially the vir��e & God fear, stage to be followed yet again by emancipation from worldly desire & acquisi- tion. Decline sets in when this World takes over, Humanit� becomes secondar�. Acquisition takes priorit�. Lowest stage when animosit� f�r�her degenerates into crime, murder and physical elimination of man at the hands of man for the World and its possessions. To be immarsed and engaged in Tr�th is the only job wor�hwhile. Even the records/ books and nar�atives cannot replace such an ex�e- rience. Rather Books / Nar�ations / Repor�s of others or even one-selves become veils. Tr�th thus envelops you first hand. Majlis – 74 St�dents and Masters are one organic body ,hur� caused to either is act�ally felt by the other. Through prayer & concent�ation health both spirit�al and physical is restored. Even aſter passing away the Mas- ters can ameliorate and alleviate the lot of the seekers. Majlis – 75 Fateha’ the opening of Koran has the key to the rest of the book, with its power the entire rest of the book can be retained & memo- rized. Dreams are commands Once the Prophet desired to see the “Ashaabe Kahaf ” instead they were made to embrace his Message. Physical t�anspor�ation needed to reach their cave was topped with spirit�al embrace. Elements of Nat�re become subser�ient in this regard. Majlis – 76 Recitations of cer�ain given ‘Zikar’ (Words) have specific impact "La Ilaha illah Wahda- ho la shareeka laho lhul Mulk Wa lahul Hamd Wa hua Ala Kullay Shain Qadeer" creates int�insic happiness without any worldly reasons. Sura Naba similarly brings one closer to Haq event�ally making the reciter Aseer�l Ha�, the slave of Haq. Majlis – 77 To wish and to speak ill does not touch the God fearing ones. They own nothing have nothing hence do not feel offended and readily forgive the ill-wishers. No indulgence of any kind of the sensual world thus comes close to them. Absor�tion in Haq (Hazoor) they do acquire through the “apparent” means. All means e.g. ‘Samaa’ music must solely be towards the point of achieving a state of Hazoori (Presence). Once that is achieved one reaches the stage of bliss wherein all negative forces melt, Shifa prevails and ever� utterance becomes “Isme Azam” Majlis – 78 Bet�een the lover and the loved, the Master & his disciple there is no schedule, no for- malit� no timing when to meet when to call. No holy places can bestow aſter visiting them any elevation of the soul if there is ‘Riya’ in it. Ser�ice rendered of it master is being ser�ed. Action ‘Amal’ alone is the lit�us test of such elevation. Majlis – 79 Proper�� and possessions simply do not ag�ee with the t�avelers on the path of Tr�th. Lands orchards bring t�ials, miser� and t�ibulations enslaving men and t�ing them to this world of pain and miser�. One has to stick with reg�larit� to the given recitations (Awraad) to stay clear of t�oubles. Missing on these can lead to senses invading threatening the t�avel on the path of Tr�th. Majlis – 80 Ever� one speaks & understands differently, inter�rets differently what he hears/reads in verse or other�ise. The essence of human will & Mind being free in pursuing his own destiny. Complete faith & dedication in reliance (Tawakkal) in all affairs upon Haq is the key. Sustenance in this world is promised to all, deviation from this belief dest�oys all, ir�e- spective of the diversit� of understanding. Majlis – 81 Islam (Muhammad’s PBUH message) is leaving a lot to the individual voluntar� submission and sur�ender. Whether in prayer or in alms (Zakaat) there is pronounced individual freedom as com- pared to earlier religious prog�ams/ pre- cepts. In worldly careers unforeseen oppor��nities and chances boost up men and in ascenden- cy however g�eatest care must always be exercised so that ego should not secretly invade your soul. The higher the worldly stations the g�eater the worldly care needed. The fr�its of this world like prefer�ed food dish must be enjoyed as our Prophet did as well however marked by “Faqr”. Majlis – 82 Awe & respect coming out of love for the Master bestows perfect knowledge. Similarly st�ict obser�ance of t��st and conscientious- ness also opens doors of knowledge & eleva- tion. However whatever stations one attains to link of g�atef�l remembrance with the source is mandator�. Mundane & worldly obstacles & challenges can just vanish. Majlis – 83 He knows best, He is just and beneficent. He owns all hence whatever He does is right- f�l & cor�ect. Yet His beneficence is so vast and deep that He does not but reward whatever we acquire in knowledge & wisdom in this world. He operates through understandable r�les (Hikma) for our redemption through sig�s laid open and made known to us through means he provides. Majlis – 84 To be accepted in bondage by the Supreme frees and unleashes one from all bondages of this world. Majlis – 85 To spend and give in the way of Allah only enhances the wealth. Whether less or more give it. By not giving you shall neither stop it if it is flowing away you cannot prevent any�ay so rather give with your own hands. Majlis – 86 Allahs’ men eat of this world par�aking only for Him. Their body nourishment is only & only for Him. Allah’s men exists bodily through, for & by Him. Majlis – 87 Place of residence ought to be healthy and clean. It nor�ally impact, ones’ happiness but blessed are those selected few who are emancipated from it all.
