Aqal Baidar

However, the Aalim , who is also Faqeer and Wali-Allah and who will be Jaan Sipaar (intrepid-devotee), would be hardly one in thousands. Ilm is the Course of Truthfulness and only the Aalim-Aamil are the [true] witness to Ilm because Ilm is the Waseela of the Sanctuary (Court) of Allah Almighty. That Aalim , who is contradictory to the Holy Quran and Rahmaan, and is agreeable to Nafs and Satan and does not follow the Hidayat of Ilm , he becomes disinherited and deprived.

The word "Ilm" has three letters of alphabet. He, who found the Fount [of the Essence] through the Aeen of Ilm and made Aeen the Waseela the Fount [of the Essence] and became Laa-Yuhtaaj Aalim by Laam of Ilm and inclined unto Allah through the Meem of Ilm and kept himself away of Nafs and desire. And he, who did not identify all these three letters of alphabet and did not become familiar with of the Depth of Ilm , he remained disinherited (Aaq) and deprived by the Aeen of Ilm, and became irreligious person by the Laam of Ilm and Outcast by the Meem of Ilm. Moreover, the study of Ilm should be commenced by the Sirr of Meem and he should follow the practice of Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam. A period of Twelve Years is required for the complete acquisition of Ilm if an Aalim Seeker intends to acquire Ilm whereas through the gaze of Faqeers, he becomes Aalim the Master of Excellence within a trice. And which Ilm is this? It is the Ilm-e-Ludunni .

Allah Almighty says: and had taught him knowledge from Our presence (18:65)

Through the Ilm of Alif, the Ilm of Alif is acquired and the Ilm of Alif comes in control and when (he) reads the Ilm of Alif, he is not left with any need of studying the Ilm-of-Outward and Ilm-of-Inward.

Allah Almighty says: And who so does good at atom's weight will see it then. And who so does an ill at atom's weight will see it then. (99:7-8)

That person, who follows and practices Ilm, that very person is the Aalim-Bi-Allah . He does not remain neglectful in the study of Ilm. If this is not the case, he is Jaahil even if he has read Ilm of syntax and grammar from book and Tafseer Bezawi () day and night for twelve years!
