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!
