SHARAH OF

THE FAZEELAT OF ILM AND THE WASEELA OF THE ZIKR OF ALLAH OF THE MASTER OF TALQEEN

Note that a person, while he was doing a sin, said to his Nafs that 'O Nafs! Allah Almighty is the All Present and the All Seer' and he brought reference of the Intercession of the Holy Prophet and told it the issues explained in the Holy Quran and the Ahadees and said that 'O Nafs! You have to face the (throes) of death and the Punishment and the Questions of the Munkir-Nakir and your Answers thereto and the Torment of the grave and the Account (Deed Manifest) of Right Hand and that of the Left Hand and the Weight of the goodness and vice on the Day of Decision'.

So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom shall see it. (99:7-8)

And said that 'O Nafs! You will face disgrace in presence of the eighteen thousand realms. You should remind yourself the stage of crossing across the Pul-Siraat and burning in the Fire of Hell and depravedness of the blessings of the Eden'.

Allah Almighty says: but ah! O 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)

And 'O Nafs! Remember the offer of the Sharab-e-Taihura [Pure drink (76:21)] through the blessed hand of the Overlord of Cosmos Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and becoming honored with the Didaar of the Sustainer of Worlds. O Nafs! There is no other blessing is parallel to this'. He used all this explanation, Hope and Fear, Eimaan and sermon, homily and reminder for the Nafs and the Nafs still inclined to the disapproved elements and the sin and the Waseela of the Murshid-e-Kaamil came in between the Seeker and the Nafs (and sin) and granted deliverance to the Seeker against that sin. The Murshid-e-Kaamil does never let his Mureed to perpetrate. He is all present in Outwardly and Inwardly form. Thus, Waseela is better than the superiority (and excellence) and the superiority (and excellence) is for the sake of the Waseela that is, Ilm is meant for the Marifat of God!
