Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

213-214

Therefore, in His reply, Allah Almighty says 'had We appointed an Angel (Our messenger), We assuredly had made him (as) a man (that he might speak to men); and (thus) obscured from them (the truth) they (now) obscure (6:9)' . In short, the Kuffaar stayed deprived of Hidayat because of getting caught up in the suspicions and doubt like this.

Allah Almighty says: And naught prevented mankind from believing when the guidance came unto them save that they said: Has Allah send a mortal as (His) messenger? (17:94)

In short, the special selected slaves of Allah Almighty, that is, the Messengers (of Allah) and Aulia, though, look like in Outward appearance and form as we are the mortal beings but in reality and essence they are the Noori Angels and rather higher and superior to the Angels even. Hence, Maulana Room Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says:

Do not match the deeds of the sacred persons with yours,

Although words 'Sher' (Lion) and 'Sheer' (Milk) are similar in script,

But Sher is that which kills people while Sheer is that which people drink,

If the human being is human being just on basis of appearance,

(Allah forbid) then the Holy Prophet and Abu Jahl would have been equal.

Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Lord inspires in me (18:110) . In the words 'I am only a mortal like you' the declaration about only the physical appearance has been made and the words 'My Lord inspires in me', the reality of Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam is shown. He got this point who has understanding. Same as Satan refused to prostrate himself before and to honor and give regard to Hazrat Adam seeing his earthly body and became assured in wake of his Self-conceit and egoism, same like this, those who noticed the physical appearance of the Messengers (of Allah) and the Aulia, they were left ignorant of their realism.

And they were deprived of their Hidayat, blessing and Beneficence. So, human being has Hidayat through human being. All kind of Auspiciousness (and blessing), Beneficence, guidance, teaching and Talqeen are gained by humankind from the humankind and without a mentor and teacher and the Murshid-e-Kaamil , man cannot learn anything.

No person has become master without a master,

No piece of iron can itself become an arrow or dagger,

No cook has become a chef unless he becomes pupil of a chef,

This Rumi never became the Maulana e Room,

Unless he became the slave of Shams Tabriz .

[Jalal ud Din Rumi]

Some people, because of their satanic jealousy and arrogance and Self-conceit, deny the teachings and advice and the Inwardly help of the religious guides and spiritual leaders and they call this denial 'Tauheed' and say that Allah Almighty is nearer to them than their jugular veins and He is the All Seer, the All Hearer and the All Present and the All Nearer and the All Answering One. He Himself is the Guide. They need not for the other means, Waseela and Murshideen and Guides. Allah is Sufficient for them. And they cover their such Self-conceit, haughtiness and their jealousy and enmity with the Saints of Religion under the lid of Tauheed and side by side this also claim that they are 'Theists' and those who believe in (the Waseela of) the Messengers (of Allah) and Piraan, we seek forgiveness of Allah, they are Mushrik. They put their matters directly before Allah. Their condition is like the abominable Kuffaar of the previous times about which Allah Almighty says:

Why does not Allah speak unto us, or some sign come unto us? Even thus, as they now speak, spoke those (who were) before them (2:118)

Allah Almighty says: Why are Angels not sent down unto us and (why) do we not see our Lord? Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride (25:21)
