Aqal Baidar

Their Mystery is the Mystery (Ramz) of Allah Almighty, their Ain (essence) is Ain (the Essence) of Allah Almighty and their sign (Emaa) is the sign of Allah. They solve this Muimma (maze) through the Auspiciousness (and blessing) of Name (Ism) by reaching unto the Musamma (that is, the Essence of Almighty Haq). And the Ilm of the Loh-e-Mahfooz is revealed unto them through the study of the Name Allah and the every Ilm of each and everything comes inside the study of the Loh-e-Mahfooz.

The tyro Seeker of the Qadiri (Sufi) Order, when in the very first day, reads the starter lesson from the Loh-e-Mahfooz by means of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat), he is left with no want of the Outward formal and customary Ilm. This Martaba is of the Aashiq of Il Allah ? because the Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destroyed in Allah) Aashiq becomes the Mashooq (Beloved) in Reality. This is because of the fact that whatever the Seeker sees, it is the Mushahida of Anwaar of the Uncreated.

This way is of inscribing (Marqoom) the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat) in the Course of Selk-Salook by the Mashq-e-Wujoodia, which is the course of the examination. In it, in the very first day, is attained the Station of Tauheed of Lord ? and Qurb of God. Since all these Maratib are achieved by the Kaamileen by just one Gaze (Nigah), [they have this ability that] if they will, they, with the order and the permission of Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam, may make a King a panhandler and if they will, they can grant Martaba of Kingship to beggar!

The author of this book has the honor of having received the Talqeen and Hidayat and Shifa'at (intercession) of Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam, the Waseela of Hazrat Ali ul Murtaza Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhu and I am the Mureed of Hazrat Pir Dastgeer Shah Muhyiddeen Sayyed Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz with Iraadat (attachment (with devotional conation)). That person, who disbelieves it, is of the unblessed people.

Lo! [O Real-Seeker] With the study of painless book of the Kaamil Wali-Allah , such an effect comes on the reader and it gives him so much benefit that he becomes Roshan-Zamir and he, by himself, reaches unto Hazoor of the Essence of Haq. However, with the study of any book of a Naqis (Imperfect), no Martaba is achieved.

ABOUT THE MASHQ-E-WUJOODIA: This is a term of Tasawvuf that is, perhaps, the personally devised of and exposed by Hazrat Sultan Bahu No one other than him has used this terms earlier. In the continuance of the same another term is "Mashq e Tasawwar Ism e Allah Zaat" (exercise of the Visualization of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat)). This term has also the derivation of Hazrat Sultan Bahu. It enjoys a fundamental and basic position in the Faqar of Hazrat Sultan Bahu and the dependence of his entire Faqar is on it. He has frequently quoted this term in all of his books and has told that all the attainment of all Degrees and ranks is dependent on this. If these terms are understood well, then all of his Faqar becomes understood. In the "Mashq e Tasawwar Ism e Allah Zaat" (exercise of the Visualization of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat)) the word is inscribed and imprinted on the Stations of heart, forehead and navel through Visualization and Tafakkur due to which the Subtleties of Nafs , Qalb and Ruh turn Living and wake up. And in the Mashq-e-Wujoodia the word is inscribed and written through Visualization and Tafakkur on all important Stations and organs of human body like eyes, ears, tongue and hands etcetera due to which the Self-Disclosure of Allah comes over these organs and grants these organs with Spiritual and Inwardly life, power and expansion and their Course towards the inner self opens.
