Irfan (Volume - 2) / IRFAAN-2

Often relatives and friends kiss each other when they meet. Often when their letter is received after long time and waiting, we kiss it because of great love and touch out eyes with it. Sometimes, we touch their clothes and other belongings with our bosom. Thus, such kind of acts are done in super-affection and there is no sin in this according the Code of Shariyat. In short, every that thing which is related to some beloved, if it comes to the lover, the lover shows his uncontrolled display of love by kissing that thing. In short, this is, but, a case of our temporary worldly love whereas the love of the Slaves and the Lovers of Allah Almighty uses to be stauncher than this as this has arrived:

Those who believe are stauncher in their love for Allah (2:165)

The love of Momineen for Allah Almighty uses to be very staunch. Hence, the Murshid-e-Kaamil, who is the Guide and Companion of the Journey of the Inwardly Course of the Salook towards the Real beloved Allah Almighty and he is the means and medium of His Qurb and Wasal, he also becomes a beloved in his obedience of the Real beloved and giving him respect and esteem means Allah's respect and esteem. Therefore, it is fair to kiss the tomb or the cover of the grave of a Kaamil Wali-Allah. Hajr e Aswad (the Black Stone of Ka'ba) is a stone but it has been set compulsory and essential to kiss it in respect. Kissing the covers of the Holy Quran, Ka'ba and other consecrated things in their honor is a deed of virtue to earn Sawaab. Thus, there is no reason there to say that it is unjust thing to kiss the grave of mother, father, teacher, Murshid and a Wali or a Prophet because we give them respect for winning the pleasure of Allah (Loja Allah). Hence, it is included in the 'offerings consecrated to Allah' (Sha-aaer-Allah).

Allah Almighty says: And whoso magnifies the offerings consecrated to Allah, it surely is from devotion of the hearts (22:32)

However, 'falling in Prostration' is not allowed to anyone other than Allah Almighty alone. In the Dawat on Graves, only the Holy Quran is read near the grave of some Saint or Wali-Allah. Here is no doubt or implication of any Bidat. Hence, the Dawat on Graves (Dawat ul Qaboor) is a special Quranic Action by means of which the Roohani comes and is forced to help and facilitate in the Inward of the Reader of Dawat.

And this Dawat can only be read by the Kaamil Aamil person. No use of kiss, respect and magnification and Prostration etcetera is there in this process and there is no question of any kind like this. Those atheists blind by eye persons believe that when a human being has died, he becomes just a non-entity and his course is finished, we have no link with such materialistic atheists and this theory has been supported by all the sound minded people of knowledge and understanding and the ancients people and the modern researchers that Ruh (Spirit) remains alive after the death of a person and it visits us in this world from time to time. The Spiritualists of Europe, that is the experts of the knowledge of Spirituality have proved this thing by means of their experiments and observations that Spirits remain alive after death, meet and converse with the living people by coming back in this world and help and support the living ones. We have explained this thins in the First Volume of 'Irfaan'. Moreover, these people have also found this fact that even the spirits of the animals and beasts also exist after their deaths and many experiments and findings are presented as proofs.

So, an English writes that 'once, I stationed in a house of my relative for some urgent task forty miles away of my city. In that house, one day, when of leaned forward to pick something, my dog, whom I had left at my house, was seen there and it jumped over my shoulders. When I tried to hold on it from my backside, my heart crossed its body without have a touch of its body because it was not a material or physical dog but instead it was its Subtle Spiritual Bulk which vanished at that time. I was surprised and very much astonished at this thing. Thus, I rang my home telephone number and asked the person there about my dog. I was reported that it went outside in the evening when it was snowing and it was covered with snow and died because of that. It was exactly that time when the spirit of my dog had clung over my shoulders as a usual gesture of its love for me.
