Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

21-22

He has to employ two kinds of servants: one are of Civilian nature from whom services for every kind of national and administrative affairs. Second are of Defense nature who are soldiers recruited for military purpose and defend the county and government against enemies or attack on other states. Exactly like this, when Allah Almighty bestows the Inwardly lordship on a Prophet or a Wali, He grants him deeds of goodness, Zikr Fikr and the Inwardly wealth of Dawat , that is, the Inwardly Subtle Treasures of the gold and jewels of the Inwardly wealth. That is, that Noor which emanates out of the deed of virtue, obedience, worship, Zikr , Fikr , recitation and Dawat etcetera done by the Kaamil Human Being, that Noor is the food and nourishment of the Invisible Creature of Allah Almighty, that is, the Jinn, Angels and Spirits as Allah Almighty says:

Unto Him good words ascend, and the pious deed does He exalt (35:10)

Moreover, in a Hadis it has come that that Noor which is produced through the Recitation of the Holy Quran, that Noor is the victuals of the Angels. Once, the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that

'whenever you happen to pass through the Garden, you should graze there'.

The Holy Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhum humbly asked that 'what Garden of the Heaven it is'.

He replied that: 'the segments of the Zikr '.

Hence, it is revealed that the food of also the Inwardly Bodies of the Momin, that is, the Qalb and Spirit is the Noor of the Zikr Fikr for Allah Almighty.

Verily in the remembrance of Allah hearts do find rest (13:28)

Don't you see that how a person becomes restless and troubled due to hunger and thirst and when food is got by him, he becomes poised and satisfied.

Allah Almighty says: he who turns away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life (20:124)

Since, the Zikr of Allah Almighty and the Fikr and recitation etcetera are the Inwardly Victuals and attaining this means the Spiritual sustenance and provisions. Thus, that person, who will turn away of and will avoid the Zikr Fikr of Allah Almighty, his provisions will surely be narrowed. On the other hand, those people who turn away of and avoid the Zikr Fikr of Allah Almighty (and yet) are seen Outwardly as the well off and affluent. If the Outwardly narrowness and paucity in world had been due to one's turning away of the Zikr of Allah Almighty, then only those, who say 'Allah Allah' all the time, would have been the only rich and wealthy ones and those, who remain away of the Zikr of Allah would have been the only poor. Nevertheless, situation is totally reverse to this effect and in this way a very big embarrassing complication arises in the system based upon Allah's True Words of Revelation.

Alternatively, Allah Almighty has mentioned the Outwardly and the Inwardly Sustenance in the Holy Quran at two different places:

and there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof depends on Allah (11:6)

And in the heaven is your providence and that which you are promised (51:22)

This Inwardly Sustenance (Rizk) has been called 'heavenly' on the grounds that it ascends to the heavens in shape of Noor because of the Kalimaat Tayyebaat (Pure (holy) Words of Revelations) and Deeds of Goodness and it becomes the victuals of the People of Heaven and Spirits there. In the light of these above verses and Ahadees, a sound-minded just person can easily understand well about these two kinds of Outwardly and Inwardly foods and meals. At times, when the People of Earth become lazy, indolent and ignorant in doing Zikr , Fikr , Obedience, Worship and Deeds of Virtue and the Noor of their Good Deeds does not ascend to heavens, dearth of food spreads takes place in the People of Heavens and they lay their straight lines farther and pray to Allah like the Assalaat (Prayers) of Istisqaa that:
