Allah
Almighty says: I
created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship
Me (51:56)
And
some foolish people have understood from the former verses that Worship
means
that they should provide provisions of sustenance to their children and
families and that they may eat in leisure for some days and should enjoy
luxuries lavishly and they consider this only the service to the creation and
the purpose and aim of life and they consider the real worship
of Allah, Zikr
,
Fikr
, Assalaat, Fasting, Wird
, Wazaif, Muraqiba
and Mukashifa
like Inwardly
Exercises and the Spiritual Ahwaal
and Stations
and Destinations of Tareeqat
and the Qurb
and Wisaal
as futile, wastage of time and impossible things to do.
However, Islam has enjoined upon the human life the real aim and objective and
the original quest of life which is the worship
and Marifat
of Lord . The chaste teachings of
Islam, after having the human being safe against the darkness and obscurity of
the matter, has engaged him into his Real Principal and the Fount of Sciences
through the worship
of only the Essence
of Allah
Almighty -the Just Motivator,
the Inducer of the Resources, the Sustainer of the sustainers, the First, the Last, the
Apparent, the Hidden, the Knower of the Unseen and the Witnessed for the
attainment of the highest Maratib
and Levels of the, Marifat, Qurb
, Wisaal
,
Love, Ishq
, Fanaa
and Baqaa.
Allah Almighty says: O
fellows! Are divided lords better, or Allah
the One, the Mighty? (12:39)
Allah is sufficient; everything
other than Allah is
just lust (and greed)!
Allah Almighty says: Say:
Allah. Then leave then to their play of caviling (6:91)
When
the Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) has established on the
heart of the Saalik, the heart and brain of the Master of the Visualization
gets colored by '(we take our) color from Allah' (2:138) (Sibgha-tallah)
and its condition becomes such that he sees the outline of the Naqqaash (Painter)
in every Naqsh
and the countenance of the Real Crafter is observed in every
craft. Hence, the Scripture of the Universe is like Quran and its crafts are
its clear revelations.

Materialists,
blind by wisdom, believe in that the people of past were uncivilized, stupid,
pleb, superstitious and ignorant in physical knowledge and sciences. Though,
the archeologists have been getting the tools of stones and crude utensils
etcetera yet it should not be concluded for all that all people of that age
might be living in caves like them. Do still some savage and uncultured people
not live in caves even in this advanced and civilized world? Do they not spend
life of old style though there are many civilized people who live in marvelous
palaces? Thus, if they are discovering crude utensils and tools buried in
mountains or caves or hideouts, these might be the possessions of the savage
nations of that time and not of those civilized and decent people of that same
age because the archeologists have also found signs of great industry and
creativity of the same age when the said rough tools and pots were being made
from stone. Thus, when they discover fine and superior tools and things of that
same period, the get really amazed. Hence, the true chaste people of that age,
in spite of their religious and spiritual engagements, were not behind in any
knowledge and art than these lustful, childish and carnal beings of present
times. If we peep into the reality, we find that all the materialist minded
people of this time have progressed and become advanced by following the basics
and principals of industry and craftsmanship and every kind of knowledge and
learning as established by the people of past times because the first basic
invention and its founding uses to be a difficult thing and improving it with
the passage of time uses to be easier and likely.
