Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

285-286

All atheist and unspiritual leaders of the world are thieves, looters, brigands and felons. These people can never sustain peace in the world. That is the reason that, reversely, these bandits want to destroy the religion from the world declaring it a cause of mutual contention and discord and are at heels to uproot it and deracinate it. These idiots are flowing in the currents of atheism and Materialism (and freethinking). They have the notion that by eliminating religion and spirituality peace can be established in the world but remember that if the Solomon of the religion and spirituality will cease to exist in the world for maintaining peace, there can be no hope from the monster of Materialism (and freethinking) that it can keep harmony in the world. Yes, this outcome can surely be got through atheism and Materialism (and freethinking) that one will get independence from God and the Prophet of God though he will still remain in the chains of despotism and autocracy. The real progress of a nation is this that it should remain progressing on the outwardly and inwardly, real and virtual, religious and worldly, material and spiritual and political and religious avenues. Otherwise, if, though it is impractical, we get the worldly progress and advancement by sacrificing our religion and faith in the feet of politics, then it will mean that a person got a cap in the price of head and received shoes after amputation of his feet and he got arrested for the eternal slavery of the Nafs and Satan in order to get freedom against the temporary bondage of obedience.

RUBAEE (QUATRAIN)

O son! I admit you have become like Rostam and Sam Nariman in bravery,

You have become emperor of the dynasties of Nimruz or Syria,

But remember neither your power nor your wealth will go in your grave with you,

Alas! You had become a prey to the chemistry of the reveries and notions!

That person, who denied Allah Almighty and the Abode of the Next World and his all efforts are just confined to the world and all his hopes are tied with the creation, what else can he do other than this worldly exchanges and material bargains!

*

You are hopeful from idols and hopeless from God,

Tell me what Kufr can be other than this.

[Allama Muhammad Iqbal]

Those people who live the life of a beast in the world. Their vocation is eating, drinking and excreting. They came in world and left the world after eating and drinking like animals. About them Allah Almighty says: Already have We urged unto hell many of them of the jinn and humankind, having hearts wherewith they understand not, and having eyes wherewith they see not, and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are as the cattle nay, but they are worse! These are the neglectful (7:179)

ABYAAT (COUPLETS)

See the worldly person that every day and night,

 He has all concern with eating and drinking alone,

On this hand he fills his stomach with plenty of food,

And on that hand, he goes and excretes faeces,

He is careless and neglectful against the Garden and the Hell,

His station is kitchen on this side and toilet on the other side!

Those blind sensual persons, who are just bulks of bones and flesh and know not more than this world of water and adobe and are empty and deprived of the Inwardly Senses and the Noor of the Eimaan , such people, if, deny Allah Almighty and the Abode of Hereafter, they are disable as their hearts are covered by the shell of matter.
