Ainul Arifeen

HADIS

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

Do Tafakkur in His blessings and do not do Tafakkur in His Essence.

That person, who is Drowned in the Noor of Hazoor of Lord, this is superior blessing for him and he does not think about form of the physique and substance.

Allah Almighty says: naught is as His likeness. And He is the Hearer and the listener (42:11)

BAYT (COUPLET)

You should give up the game of arguments and listen to this [answer] of mine,

That the Zikr, Fikr and Ilm are Hijaabaat for the Arif!

Ilm is like Ocean and [its] every word is the likeness of wave and the Aalim-Aamil is like boat and the Murshid Arif-Bi-Allah is like the sailor, who sails the People of boat safe and sound to the shore. The Judge demands from the Ulema of Haq for two sight witnesses: one witness is the Ain Ilm and the other witness is that, Practice (Amal) on Ilm, which must be done by them. Aalim should be Aamil, not the likeness of that, which Allah Almighty has said. The likeness of [Aalim who does not act upon Ilm] "is as the likeness of an ass carrying book" (62:5).

Fiqah and Faqar both have three letters of alphabet. When Fiqah and Faqar unite, it is called Nafs. The Master of Tasawvuf remains engrossed in the Absolute Tauheed (Tauheed-e-Mutliq).

HADIS

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

Faqeer is not needy of anyone except Allah Almighty.

And the Faqeer, who lacks Ilm, is needy (and dependant) and his Faqar is Iztarari (or Mukibb), not Ikhtiyari.
