Irfan (Volume - 1) / IRFAAN-1

281-282

After acquiring the Noor of Eimaan and the Light of Conviction and Irfaan through the Zikr of Allah and the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ), they should become nurtured with the Chaste Nature and Conduct (and ethics) and endowed with the Noori Calibers of Eimaan. After this, when they will enter the practical spheres of life with their original Islamic Grandeur, the support of Divine will stand with them in every field of life and in every action and venture.

Allah Almighty says: He has written faith upon their hearts and has strengthened them with a Spirit from Him (58:22)

Both the worldly and religious, Outwardly and Inwardly, real and virtual, political and ethical and physical and spiritual facets of such People of Eimaan become extremely successful and pleasant. Such person, for him and the outsider and the home and the nation and in short for the whole world, becomes the source of tremendous relief and the cause of countless mercy. Same as the animal, at the time of saying Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) , at the time of its slaughtering becomes Pure (holy) and Halaal because of the Name Allah, same like this, the human being, after becoming chaste and Pure (holy) and clean through the Zikr of Allah and the Noor of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) becomes rightly honored and endowed with Degrees and Maratib of the Islam, Eimaan , Faith and Irfaan etcetera. As long as the people of a nation have not individually and severally have not done the Tazkiya of their Nafs with the Zikr of Allah and the Name Allah and have not changed the condition of their Nafs for the sake of Allah, Allah does never change the collective condition of that nation.

Allah Almighty says: Lo! Allah changes not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts (13:11)

Was it not that our noblest lord Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam used to go on mountain all alone, like Rahbaniyat, in the initial times approaching Wahi for the sake of the Tazkiya of Nafs , Tasfiyya of Qalb , the preeminence (Tajaliya ) of Ruh (Spirit) and the Takhliyya of Sirr and used to sit in privacy day and night for many day consecutively in the Cave Hira for the Exercise (of Preoccupation) of the Visualization of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat )? Hence, every Muslim, who is desirous of becoming a Muslim and Momin with Firm Eimaan in real and original sense, for him the first obligation and the Great-Sunnat is that he, at least once in his life, should fully paint his heart with the color of Allah of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) and as 'He has written faith upon their hearts' (58:22), he should write and Inscribe the Naqsh of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) on the Tablet of his heart.

If after this, he will set his step in the practical world, the Divine Support and Patronage will extent a helping hand everywhere in every work. When every member of the nation will become prominent with this glory, the collective condition of the nation will change at that time and will become fortified by the superiority (and excellence) of 'Islam uplifts you, it does not let you down' otherwise salvation cannot be won just by Islamic names or taking birth in a Muslim house. In addition, no worldly or religious progress can be achieved without this. Moreover, the nation cannot progress through mere Islamic outline and formal actions unless it has grown a true Islamic character and stature and Cordial Eimaan and single-minded Intention.

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

Lo! Allah does not notice your faces nor does He see your (Outward) actions but instead He keeps His gaze upon your hearts and intentions

In short, when the Inward of the Muslims will become right, their Outward will also become deverloping and progressed. When heart has been reformed, body and outward naturally becmoes okay.

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

Verily, there is a cluster of meat inside the body of mankind. When it has become reformed, all the body and outward also become right.

Hence, the time when, the hearts and Nafs of the individuals in a nation have changed towards right course, the outwardly, religious, political, economic and Inwardly religious and spiritual condition is also changed. That time when the pious and heedful Muslims who followed Allah Almighty and His Noble Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and the Holy Quran and the Hadis, even the governments and kings of the world kissed their feet but when the Muslims stopped obedience of Allah Almighty and His Prophet and after following the desire and Nafs they stopped acting upon the Holy Quran and Hadis, Allah Almighty, as a punishment to this disobedience, impelled upon them dishonor and poverty and seized their power and dynasties and gave it to the Outsiders.
