Hence,
there is no knowledge and skill and no art and vocation are that which the
human being has learned directly from Allah
Almighty without the means of
another human being. This is just jealousy and their thinking too high about
themselves of those carnal blind dead hearted and wretched ones since Azal
that
does not let them follow the Course
towards Allah
Almighty and hinders them to
meet some guide and leader of the course. Satan, in wake of his jealousy and
haughtiness, made Tauheed
the excuse in prostrating himself not before Adam
Alaihis-Salaam
and said: I do not prostrate anyone other than Allah'
and I am Muwahhad
(theist
believing only in One God). In this way, though, that accursed was the
supporter of Tauheed
and refused Shirk
but because of haughtiness and
Self-conceit, he was trying to become himself a partner of God Almighty.
HADIS-E-QUDSI
(Saying
of Allah
reported by
the Holy Prophet of Allah
Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
)
The
robe of Majesty is Mine
and I do not share it
with any Outsider as partner.
You will go that much away from the Mercy of your Lord as much you will mingle
with the arrogant,
Your
repentance after your intoxication of imbibing alcohol would be better than
offering that Assalaat
after which you become drunk and proud.
[Hafiz
Ibn e Kaseer]
What
will the blind sensual people know this Shirk
in the cover of Tauheed? Who will
treat that patient who considers the ailment a good health? One drop of the
vinegar of haughtiness spoils all milk of the Ilm
and Grace. Harvest crop of a
thousand years' Obedience is burnt into ashes with a spark of jealousy.
HADIS
(Saying
of the Holy Prophet of Allah
Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)
That
person cannot enter the Paradise in whose heart exists haughtiness even of the
size of a particle.
*
Self-conceit
and God can never go together. Alas for those people who uplift the
Self-conceit and please the Satan.
Satan
was ruined by not laying his head in one Prostration,
What
was the use of his laying his head in millions of Prostrations?
[Zauq]
Once,
Hazrat
Bayazid Bastami Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe
humbly asked Allah
that 'which way is the way of achieving Wisaal
with You'
. He
got this answer: discard your Nafs
and get uplift
. That person, who bows
before someone and serves him for the sake of Allah
Almighty, Allah
Almighty
uplifts his status and that person, who is haughty and arrogant, he falls down
straight. See, when abolishes its existentiality and self in earth, it becomes
tall and green. It's being as it is and intact is obstacle in front of its
germination, growth and progress. Philosophy of the Waseela
is this that the
vanity and Self-conceit are vital for the abundance of religion and Dunya
(World). When the mind of a person has become intoxicated through the wine of
Dunya
(World), then the kettledrum of 'I (Pharaoh) am your lord the highest
(79:24)'
starts
beating. That is the reason that worldly kings have often claimed the office of
god because of this intoxication and drunkenness. Intoxication due to Dunya
(World) is stronger than the intoxication due to alcohol.
It
is easy (and not manhood) to maintain consciousness and mind after imbibing
alcohol,
If
you are not intoxicated in spite of being the Master of riches, it is realm manhood.
Moreover, Ilm
and excellence and devoutness and obedience of Lord are Inwardly
and Religious wealth and the stuff of the Next World. Even the possessor of this
Wealth of the Next World also becomes defected with the termite of Self-conceit
and arrogance. Thus, the Satan
who was the richest in this wealth of Ilm
and
worship said 'I am better than him (7:12)'
in the intoxication and
drunkenness of this wealth and showed his arrogance and Self-conceit by this
way.
