Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

57-58

Regrets for this that the materialistic (freethinkers) carnal dead hearted people are taking a deep slumber of ignorance under the dense quilts of the material body in the narrow and dark Shab e Yalda (longest night) of the few days' mortal life of mere hallucination, bizarre and worldly and they are obsessed by and preoccupied in the magical world of dream and thought and are ignorant and ignoramus about the lasting and eternal tastes and joys of this real bright wakeful spiritual world which is the prime objective and the real motive of the human birth and life. All struggle, whole effort and entire endeavor of the whole material world and its knowledge of Science for the sake of the worldly carnal temporary pleasures and enjoyments is just Khakraani (fanatic effort just for nothing good), vain and abortive.

Allah Almighty says: Then withdraw (O Muhammad) from him who flees from Our remembrance and desires but the life of the world. Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! Your Lord is best aware of him who strays, and He is the best aware of him who goes right (53:29-30)

If you have been enjoying pleasures of world for whole life,

And you spend all of your life with your beloved,

But when you will have to leave this world on your last breath,

You will feel as if your whole life was a dream.

[Omar Khayyam]

Of course, the outward magic of Science and the Samaritan enchantment of matter has spell bound the people nowadays! Every day we see that people are flying in clouds by virtue of the Science. Horses of wood and steel are running on earth. (People) swim in rivers and oceans like fish. Talks of the East and the West are heard in fraction of seconds.

Science, though, seems to be a useful thing that can provide outward comfort and luxury for a limited period in world but side by side it has also invented those interments of war that are for the destruction and extinction of the creation of God that can destroy the earth into pieces and shatter the mountains and shake the whole sphere. Is it not surprising that that Science which is being taken by the whole world to be the Angel Michael who showers merciful rain may prove to be Israfeel that may throw the whole world into the sleep of death through its all-destructive blow? On the other hand, this Untrue claimant of the Mushahida of the Actions of God is gradually misguiding the people towards laziness, idleness and solidity and that day is not far when this unnecessary and uncalled for interrupter in the Ability of Lord and the Wisdom of God will immolate the humankind in the feet of disability and handicap. Today greater portion of the world appears to be perplexed (and puzzled) and unhappy with it because all jobs of the industry and creativity and agriculture and other vocational jobs which were done by the poor and needy persons before the advent of Science and they earned livelihood by doing jobs by their hands have now been undertaken by the capitalistic in their own control because of the automation done by Science and the poor people are crying with hunger stricken with joblessness and redundancy and none is there who would share their grief. Is it not cruelty and oppression of the Science that those standards of Equality which had been set by the religion for the entire humankind without the discrimination of color and race, it has crippled after distorting this whole right and acceptable system and has totally disordered the economical, commercial, ethical and religious order of the whole world? Accepted that Science is a knowledge and wisdom but this dear and glorious knowledge like Science has been made universal curse by the lustful carnal nations which are hungry for land and the curse is being amassed on curse. It (Science) has been made the stuff of universal destruction and devastation instead of utilizing it for the service of the creation of God and it is assuming such a shape day by day that the very design of these tyrants will result in their own destruction and devastation like the Day of Destruction.
