Fazalul Laqa

Allah Almighty says: and barter not My Revelations for a little reward (5:44)

BAYT (COUPLET)

O Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe! The [True] Seeker should have the Demand of Ilm for the sake of Lord [not for accumulating Dunya (World)],

That is why, you should first teach the Ilm of Adab (deference) to the Seekers [so that they should understand the real purpose of Ilm].

The Aalim Seeker endowed with Adab (deference) is the Muqarrib of the Beneficent and the Jaahil disrespectful one is the companion of Satan. May any Mureed of Hazrat Mahboob e Subhaani Qutab e Rabbani Pir Dastgeer Hazrat Ghaus ul Azam Shah Meeran Muhyiddeen Shaikh Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allahu Sirru-hul Aziz be Jaahil and disrespectful! May he be the possessor of the Inwardly Ilm and deference!

ABYAAT (COUPLETS)

You should see Muhyiddeen [Shah Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allahu Sirru-hul Aziz ] - the "Hayaat-e-Deen" as Living,

And those Piraan, who are dead, they have decayed into earth (inside graves),

O Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe! Hazrat Ghaus ul Azam Shah Meeran Muhyiddeen Shaikh Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allahu Sirru-hul Aziz is, but, the Life of Living body,

And his highness talks and converses with his [Loyal] Mureedain!

The Tark and Tawakul are twins in the Qadiri (Sufi) Order. Wealth and body and the sons and life are given in the Cause of Allah.

These are the very Maratib of the Qadiri Arif-Bi-Allah and Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destroyed in Allah).

Allah Almighty says: And strive for Allah with the endeavor, which is His right. He has chosen you and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship. (22:78)

About Tawakul: Tawakul means breaking relation with 'all that, which is besides Allah' and making relation with Allah. Tawakul has four Degrees which are as under:

1.       Earning the Halaal livelihood and eating Halaal (lawful and allowed) and providing Halaal to family and parents and expending in the way of Allah from this Halaal provisions and performing the Five Fundamental Elements of Islam. But this is the Tawakul of the ordinary persons.

2.       Tawakul of Second Degree is, breaking ties with the creation and making ties with the Creator. This degree is achieved because of the Tawajuh of the Murshid-e-Kaamil. The love for the world ends from the heart of the Seeker due to it and he, on entering the garden of Tawakul, removes all thorns of greed (grasping) and the Nifaaq.

3.       Tawakul of Third Degree is that the Seeker breaks ties with the entire creation and builds ties with the Creator and becomes His beloved, he always remains Immersed in the Remembrance of Lord, and Zikr-e-Khafi is gained by him that takes him to the Maratib of a Majzoob.

4.       The Seeker after Immersing in the Noor of the Essence becomes eternally Absorbed in Noor and becomes Laa-Yuhtaaj after finding the Martaba of the godly (Ba-Khuda), the Waasil with Haq and the Absolute Noor. He is left with no want of anything or any dependency. This is the entirety of Tawakul that is the holy person of Lord of Worlds Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallamand is available to the Faqeers of his Ummat because of his means. Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has said that: "Faqar is my pride and Faqar is from me [that is, it is my Sunnat]
