And
in order to give the maximum time for achievement of the said objectives, the
people of past times had been giving very less attention and consideration to
the physical and material sciences so much so that the Lawgivers of Islam
Alaihis-Salaam
have even forbidden to ponder over the physical earthly unimportant wonders
that amaze mind and long philosophical thoughts. Hence, it has been revealed in
a sacred Hadis
that when the talks of the nature and composition of sun, moon
and stars and their orbits or their movements or the conditions of their
goodness and badness star before you, you should keep quiet and whenever the
issue of destiny (of predestination) starts in your presence, you should also
avoid thinking over it and discuss about it or whenever the matters relating to
their caliphate or details and eye contacts of their the conflicts in their
families or clashes are discussed before you, you should refrain from such
discussions and talks and instead of these unimportant things you should
acquire the Mother of Uloom
and the Origin
of Skills, that is, the Key
of the Zikr
of Allah
with which
you will open the gates of all Outwardly
and Inwardly
Uloom and the entire
(Advanced level) Learning and Mysteries
of the universe will become opened and
clear on you.
That
is, he, who held the chord of the Name Allah
firmly, he got Hidayat
towards the
Beaten Path. That which if known all unknown things get know, all unheard get
heard, all unseen get see, all scripts of Loh-e-Mahfooz
descend to the mirror
of heart by virtue of which the Great Secret
of Life and the Unseen Prehistoric
Secret
is revealed; one should brighten the eye of heart with the Marifat
of
that Essence
which is bearer of all calibers because the disciplines of
physical sciences in the Realm of Witnessed and the Realm of Multiplicity are
countless and the chain of physical sciences is very lengthy and endless and
mortal but the human life in this abode of mortality is limited.
Sciences are unlimited whereas your life is limited,
Act
upon that which is important for you in these.

Hence,
wise and foreseeing person is he, who chooses the real and relevant work and
abstains from unnecessary, temporary and earthly works.
Business of world is unlimitedly vast,
Whatever
you have to choose, should be limited.
That
is why, Islam has engaged man into original spiritual work in the very first
day instead of physical endeavors. That is, it has reflected the reflections of
the Creator even in the study of the creation and matter and has Imprinted the
imagination of the Real Creator and the Original Painter in the craft of the
universe.
Lo!
in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and
day are tokens (of His sovereignty) for men of understanding. Such as remember
Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the creation of the
heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! You created not this in vain. Glory
be to You! Preserve us from the doom of Fire (1:191)
That
is, Allah
has not Created the Creation just for nothing and in vain but instead
He has created them only for the Worship, Marifat
and Qurb
and Wisaal
of His
Essence. Therefore, O Allah! Save us against the fire and the darkness of the
love for these material things!
