Ainul Faqar Ainul Faqr

It is reported that Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: Should not I tell you the best action, which is very much Favorite of Allah Almighty and by virtue of which, your Maratib should rise much higher near Allah Almighty and which is far better than spending gold-and-silver and upon doing which, if you will attack on your enemies not only you behead them but they themselves should start cutting their throats? The Holy Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhum respectfully said: Why not! Please tell us! O Prophet of Allah Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam! His highness said that: The Zikr of Allah Almighty is the superior most.

[It has been reported in the Muajim Tibraani and Sunan Ibne Daood that] Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: Not even any Sadqa can be superior to the Zikr of Allah.

Moreover, the Zaakir should do the Zikr of Allah like the Sinmtar Bird (that is, Taqannas the Firing Bird). Condition of this bird is such that it gathers a heap of wood around it and sits in the center of this heap and does the Zikr of Hu by exhaling the breath with Hu and keeps the Zikr like this. Due to the Zikr of Allah it gets heat, and because of this hotness, this heap of wood catches fire and it burns into ashes (with wood). After this, when the rain of mercy showers on this ash, an egg takes birth from this ash and a baby bird comes out of this egg. When this chick reaches unto the stage of its father, it also does the Zikr of Hu in same way and turns into ashes after burning with wood and this process continues endlessly! Thus, in the same way, the [Perfect] Faqeer Zaakir achieves the Station of Die-before-death in every hour.

What thing Faqar is? Faqar is the name of deserted house. Same like Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam who did never filled his house with the possessions of Dunya (World). [Whatever that came,] he spent all in the Course of God. He had given three divorces to the Dunya (World). At times, there was no oil to light the lamp and at times, there was no mat for floor. [Glory is for Allah!] This is called Faqeer - whatever God gives, he gives back in the name of God and whatever is granted to him in the name of God, he gives that to God. He remains in His Zikr in every condition and remains never neglectful in Zikr in any situation!
