Thus, Dunya (World) is such a rioting blight and it is such a cureless pain against which the human being gets a rescue after hard efforts. Saadi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe has very clearly revealed the realism of Dunya (World) in these couplets.

If we have not Dunya (World), we become worried,

And we have Dunya (World), we are caught up in its love,

No other blight is more painful than this Dunya (World), as;

Its presence as well as its absence is nuisance in both cases.

[Saadi Sherazi]

Really, when one has got more Dunya (World), its love occupies a person and hinders him going towards Allah Almighty and the severity of hunger and paucity also hurls him in Kufr. . For this reason, in order to maintain equality and for keeping the flow of Dunya (World) at a balanced limit, Islam has made set Zakaat Obligatory and compulsory so that the even the worldly people should not become deprived of the undisturbed and Hazoor of Qalb in the Zikr of Allah. Thus, what is Islam? It is the name of doing Zikr of Allah through tongue and observing the etiquette of the Zikr through organs and parts of body and taking the Zikr of Allah to its real Station of Qalb through the five senses. And when the Zikr of Allah has entered the Station of Qalb from the physical body, then that time the Inwardly Form of the Eimaan appears in the inside.

The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): You believe not, but rather say 'We submit,' for the faith has not yet entered into your hearts (49:14)

Hence, it is found that the special situate and original Station of Eimaan is the heart of the Momin, not the body. Eimaan , in reality, is the Noori Lamp of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ). The time, this Noori Lamp is lit in the chimney of the evergreen pinioned heart of the Momin, by this the Fourteen Strata become bright on him.

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star (24:35)

And this lamp is shining with the Noor of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ). In short words, translation of above verse cannot become correct in the sense that the Essence (Zaat) of Allah is the Noor of heavens and the earth because in this way it is felt must that the Essence of Allah is given a certain limit of direction and His Great Infinite Essence is limited in the heavens and earth although Allah Almighty is the Creator of everything like the heavens and earth and all that which exists inside these and outside these. Here, the word 'Allah' implies for the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) by which the heavens and earth are bright and lit and it is lit in the glass and chimney of the evergreen pinioned heart inside the bosom of the Kaamil Arif Human and the Qalb of the Kaamil Arif shines like a bright star with the lamp of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) and this niche is hung with the olive tree of body and the corporeal body of the Arif. Those people, who are unaware of the Muimma of the Ism and Musamma, they will be wondered and astonished by our new paraphrase but we are bound to say that which the truth is even if the stereotype people become unhappy with us as per the wrong promotion of their exegesis. Some will also wonder about this thing that we have named the Noor of the Eimaan which is filled in the Qalb and heart and of the Momin in the form of the Noor of Yaqeen .
