Irfan (Volume - 2) / IRFAAN-2

319-320

Only food and dress a millionaire gets from his hordes of money accumulated through thousands of injustices and cruelties and after years of struggle and worries. These things are, but, also got by the poor persons. However, when he becomes the wayfarer towards the Eternal and Vast Kingdom of the Hereafter after leaving the narrow and dark fleeting life of the world and its thorny tribulations, he dies the death of great scoff and ignominy bearing the Punishment and Accountability for every penny on his shoulder. Ascertaining the hardships and agonies at that time which he bears, is beyond the scope of human sense and imagination.

O man of Lord! Be wise and prudent a little. Up to what limit will you run with the people of world inside this ominous ambush hunting place of the world? Ponder for a moment that one actress, that is a lewd and obscene women, of Hollywood earns three to four thousand Dollar weekly (or $40,000) or in other words she earns eighty thousand Rupee (or Rs.4,000,000) or daily she earns one thousand Rupee (Rs.500,000) (at that time one U.S. Dollar was equal to Rupees 5). O my weak, feeble, unaided bother! Up to what extent you will run in this field. If you and all your friends and relative will run together in this field with full force and ability, even then you will all not be able to reach the dust of the feet of that lewd prostitute. Alas and thousands regrets on your such stupid struggle and the ignorant hard effort in which a lewd call girl is successful and effective and you are unsuccessful, notorious and ashamed.

If you use your wisdom and conscious a bit and identify the real aim and the original purpose of your life today and come out with absolute sincerity (and single-mindedness) of your heart in the Demand and Search of your Rightful Beloved and the Desired One of the Azal and rush to the Sacred Vale of the Demand for Lord with the pace of 'therefore, flee unto Allah'(51:50), then even the Angels will applaud in adulation on your such exceptional move and will lay their wings under your feet and will shower the regal bowls of the Anwaar of Allah's Mercy and will sign the songs of your exaltation and veneration in the heavens!

*

In this first step that you will take, you will leave behind you all the actresses, worldly people and even kings and you will reach ahead of all and you will meet Allah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection in that condition that He will be pleased with you and you will be happy with Him and He will address you:

But ah! You soul at peace (Nafs-e-Mutmainna)! Return unto your Lord, content in His good pleasure! Enter you among My bondmen! Enter you in My garden! (89:27-27-28-29-30)

Allah Almighty the Most Merciful in all the merciful and He is the Most Generous in all the generous and He the Nearest in all the near ones and He is the Living and the Self-Subsisting, the All Seer and the All Hearer and the Near and the Responsive. He is the Most Desired One in all the desired ones and the Superior Most Demand and the Best of all the Beloveds and He is the Absolute Demand of all the Creatures and the Rightful Deity of Worship who is Present very near to you and He is Wistful for you but you are playing with the broken stones of the world like kids. Satan has made you unmindful against your Real Lord and Creator by showing you the toy of Dunya (World).

O My bondman! I am Present; you will find Me if you will seek Me,

You will not be able to find Me if you will Demand for any Outsider in pretext of My search;

When a beggar calls Me helplessly; I address him 'O Slave!,

I am Present; you will find Me if you will seek Me;

I am affectionate and kind to My bondmen more than his brothers, sisters, parents and all kinsfolk and friends,

He will find Me if he will strive for Me;

O My slave! When you will try to find Me and desire to see Me in privacy in the darkness of night,

You will find me Nearer to you than your own self at that time!
