Irfan (Volume - 2) / IRFAAN-2

Clearly written on the head of every grain is,

The name and lineage of the person to whom it is destined.

[Roomi]

That is, on each grain (of food) it has been mentioned that it is the share of a particular person. Same as the letter addressed to a particular person is not delivered by the postman to another person, the share of one person is not delivered to another person nor any person can eat the share of the other. The part, share and entitled sustenance is received by every person through the concerned Angels at their fixed times. However, a person temporarily becomes the owner and keeper of other person's share and Sustenance before the time fixed for delivery to them (by the Angels) by grasping it due to his greed (grasping) and avidity. However, when the time of its eating and using that share approaches, that Sustenance is taken away from him and delivered to their real deservers. Some fanatics affected by a politically delirium say that Assalaat (Prayers), Roza (Fasting), Nawafil, Recitation (of Holy Quran) and Zikr Fikr is not original Worship but instead it is a futile exercise and the wastage of time and this saying of Allah Almighty that 'I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me' implies towards that Worship which means the Service to Mankind, that is, helping the Creatures of Lord in their cause of Sustenance and Livelihood. Thus, the real worship is grasping the political power and authority and after becoming the part of such government, the standard of life of the poor people has to be raised. Nevertheless, in the following verses 'I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me. Lo! Allah! He it is that gives livelihood, Lord of unbreakable might (51:57-58), Allah Almighty has negated this thing, that is, by this 'worship', Allah's intention is not 'the acquisition of the Sustenance' nor is this the desire of Allah Almighty that 'they should deliver food and sustenance to His bondmen but Allah Almighty Himself is the Absolute Sustainer and the Provider for His creation and His is Lord of unbreakable might and for the case of Sustenance He is not the needy of anyone's assistance and help' but the aforesaid political fanatics share the government on one hand and become authority and provider for His creation as partners of Allah Almighty (May Allah forbid).

What nice has been said by someone:

Your son is the slave of Allah; do not worry for him,

Who you are who could sustain him better than Allah?

[Saadi]

Thus, the case of Sustenance is the responsibility of Allah Almighty and the original Worship and the aim and purpose of the creation of the Jinn and the humankind means wayfaring towards Allah Almighty with the virtual feet after following the order of 'therefore, flee unto Allah'(51:50) through the means of the Name Allah, His Words (of Revelation) and the Zikr and Fikr and the Visualizations of His Names and the Dawaat; and achieving His Marifat, Qurb, Wisaal, Fanaa and Baqaa and the Mushahida and Liqaa; and becoming the eternally living and frequented along with Him through His Noor! Alas! The people, who are hungry for the political power, try to craft the excuses and pretexts of this kind in the misleading garbs and uniforms of religion in order to grasp over the seats of the government and these people show themselves to be the righteous ones and the flag bearers of the Doctrine of Faith. However, when the Satanic intoxication of Rule enters their brains and the toxicity of the carcass of the wealth of Dunya (World) reaches their nose, they turn tyrant and bloodthirsty a degree above than their predecessors as someone has said:

At the hour they are deposed, the rulers show to be Shaikh Shibli and Bayazid,

Whereas when they are in Power, they are passionate like (accursed) Shimr and behave like Yazeed.

[Saadi]

The reason is that it is a peculiarity of the wine of wealth is that it turns him intoxicated and unconscious through whose throat in reaches down.

Accumulating wealth, acquiring ruling power and ascendancy, and increasing possessions and gold-and-silver has been declared the way, vocation and the behavior of the Kuffaar, Mushrikeen and Hypocrites by Allah Almighty.

Allah Almighty says:
