Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

247-248

In short, in order to build the Sacred Abode of Saintliness and Sainthood, some have erected only the frame of the bones of Solomon, some have cladded it with dress and some have given it stick (wand) as well so that it may remain standing with its stake. Some have hung rosary bead. Some have laid prayer mat so that he might look like Solomon Alaihis-Salaam seeking the Conquest of Jinn so that he can get the cordial and wholehearted services of simple minded, plain and good-natured Seekers in building this Model Jerusalem. These blind-by-heart Seekers render sincere services to the dead corpse of Sainthood considering it a living Solomon. With the passage of time, a day comes when termites eat away this stick of sainthood and the lifeless sculpt of bones of the Solomon falls on ground and these stupid silly Jinn come to realize that they have been wasting their precious lives serving a spiritless and soulless Solomon. This is the day when these plain hearted pleb Jinnaat get freedom from this hypocritical chain of the conquest.

What is the use of tying Zunnaar inside raiment of Sufi?

What is the use of engaging heart in the visits of bazaar inside the Masjid?

When you get comfort in irritating others,

What is the use of this comfort in lieu of thousands of irritations?

Hence, it is very hard and difficult task to enter the Paradise of Qurb and Wisaal after peacefully walking across this delicate, thin and acute dark Pul-Siraat of Tareeqat. Man is given very difficult test and a tough examination in this world. There would hardly be a high spirited and blessed Seeker who crosses this field with due success.

Sometimes even Angel envies at our chastity,

And at times even Satan feels shame at our impurity,

If we will leave this world with intact Eimaan (belief),

Then our agility and cleverness will stand praiseworthy.

AHL-E-SALF AND AHL-E-KHALF

(PEOPLE OF ANCIENT TIME AND PEOPLE OF PRESENT TIME)

Nowadays, the Western Education and new light has spread the poison of atheism and freethinking in the hearts of many people. People have refuted the existence of God Almighty and do not acknowledge the Day of Decision, Retribution and Punishment, Reward, Eden, Hell Angels, spirits and all kind of Unseen Creation and the Life after Death. They believe that world is and has been since prehistoric times and will continue as it is. There is no end to this continuity of water and bricks. Matter has some automatic power and ability in it that it brings forth plants from inanimate thing and animals from plants and human beings from plants in a schematic process. These people are convinced by Darwin's thought of the Theory of Evolution. Their department of the studies of earth puts forth some reasons based upon the experiments and observations of Science in support of its proof. They believe that apes and monkeys have gradually become man through an evolutionary process and the first advanced ape (May Allah forgive us) was known as Adam. Hence, they give very strong arguments and loud reasons in the support and favor of this issue. These people, since, have lost their natural human essence and have wasted this Noori Capacity due to ignorance and wrong deeds and have virtually fallen from the high status of humanity into the deep ditch of animals and monkeys, 'they are as the cattle nay, but they are worse! (7:179)'. On the basis of the absurd and baseless ridiculous theory of the Evolution of World suggested by their leader Darwin, these ape minded people consider themselves big brained, philosophers and intellectuals and consider the people of old times as plebs, superstitious and silly. This theory of evolution is not the upshot of novelty and scholarly revelation of this new age but instead the people of heretic and free mind have been in the world since the beginning.
