Irfan (Volume - 2) / IRFAAN-2

Due to the Satanic haughtiness and jealousy they have, they make distinction between Allah Almighty and His Friends and posing these two the opposite and different and rivals of each other, they cheat the simple minded people. Nonetheless, the Friends of Allah Almighty are agreeable, united and one in one with their Lord Almighty and they are those, who have achieved Fanaa and Baqaa in His Essence.

Allah Almighty says: Lo! Those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and seek to make distinction between Allah and His messengers, and say: We believe in some and disbelieve in others, and seek to choose a way in between; such are disbelievers in truth (4:150-151)

If you ask the truth, the Nafs and Desire in the human being is the cause and root of all vices, sins, evils, injustice, cruelty, abomination and vices (Fisq O Fajoor), Shirk, Kufr and Nifaaq and this Nafs is that major Aazar and Idol Crafter, that has him the refuter of Allah Almighty by erecting many partners, deities of worship and idol against Allah Almighty for him in the world. Somewhere, the idols of gold-and-silver like the calf of the Samiri are worshipped and somewhere the icon idol of female sex has been launched and in order to make her pleased, illegal and Haraam money is being accumulated to cast in her feet. Somewhere, innocent killing is being done for the sake of the idols of land property and women and the atrocities and oppressions of multiple degrees are in action. Somewhere, at the threshold of the big idol of the political supremacy and power and the temptation of rule, many well known philosophers and learned Ulema bow their head and add their achievements for its exaltation. Somewhere, wars are being fought for the acquisition of oil fields and somewhere due to starvation. In short, all those countless deities of the Outsiders which are being adored all over the world and all those disobediences and every defiance against Allah's orders which are being done, the one and only root cause and origin of all these is the Nafs and Desire. The inanimate idols of stones have been given a bad name without any reason!

*

Never some idol of stone or metal has incited any person for sins nor ever it has invited anybody towards evil and, May Allah forgive us, if this pronunciation of Allah Almighty can be just vain and meaningless:

Have you seen him who makes his desire his god, and Allah sends him astray purposely, and seals up his hearing and his heart, and sets on his sight a covering? (45:23)

This verse has come concerning those stupid and ignorant Ulema, who call every Outward element Shirk while they have contained their Nafs and Desire as a full-sized Idol in their Inward. Alas! How much the darkness and injustice are that these sensual, blind eyed, jealous, impractical Ulema have fostered and nourished full-sized Idol of their Nafs under their sleeves and are busy in its worship and adoration day and night whereas call the assistance and facilitation a Shirk which is provided by the beloveds of God and the best companions of the companions of Lord, that is, the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam and the Aulia Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim and as such they stop the passage of the bondmen of God towards God. This Hadis has come regarding the carnal verbal Ulema and those who are ignoramus about the Inwardly Ilm:

HADIS

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

The [Outwardly] Ilm is the greatest Hijaab [before Lord].

In the opposition of the Nafs and Desire, all the deeds of virtue of the world by which one gets entitlement of entry to the Garden have been summed up Allah Almighty in this one verse:

But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from greed. Lo! The Garden will be his home (79:40-41)

Hence, all the misunderstandings which have been done by people so far for the Doctrine and Religion and the extent to which they are astray to the wrong and invalid courses, this is all because of their ignorance and unawareness regarding the reality of the Nafs that they have gone off course against the Beaten Path. When Allah Almighty created the body of Hazrat Adam Alaihis-Salaam and as Allah Almighty says:
