And
people would have engaged in this pursuit whereas this thing could have become
a cause of great disturbance and a hurdle in the way of the real aim of the
religious mission and the holy objective. That is why, the Holy Prophet Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has told this reality in the cover of
a peaceful wrapped hint and a cryptic gesture so that every next age may get
teaching from it as per its respective wisdom and understanding as it has been
said that 'talk before the people according to their wisdom and understanding' . The Holy
Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has already
pronounced that 'I have
been granted comprehensive word' . Through this Word, every lower, higher and the
common and proper person gets the teaching according to his respective
perception. In short, that Word and Say is spoken on appropriate time, right
occasion and according to the need of the hour and is supported and powered
with strategy due and with the best sermon, it proves to be very effective and
useful.
Saints have said 'the best Word is that which is brief yet to the point' . The Holy Prophet Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has stopped his Ummat
from indulging into and from
getting caught up in this kind of the unnecessary lengthy and vast physical
knowledge related to the cosmos. Hence, he has said about this that 'whenever someone talks
about the issues pertaining to the stars of the heavens or about the
personality of my
Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhum or the mutual
disagreements amongst them
or about the predestination set by Allah
Almighty before you, you should keep
quiet and do not take interest thereto but instead endeavor for the worship,
Zikr
Fikr
, Marifat, Qurb
, Mushahida
and Wisaal
of Allah
Almighty which is the
original source and the substance of the entire Uloom
and knowledge which
surrounds all other Uloom
automatically'. Well, the objective of exposing the
reality of those stars at this occasion is just this that a little glimpse of
the all magnificence and the everlasting glory and splendor of the Essence
of
Allah
Almighty the Ahkamul Hakimeen may be seen by this silly and ignorant
human being that that Primordial, Uncreated, Holy and Sacred Pure (holy)
Essence
is the Possessor of how much unlimited, eternal and magnificently powerful
Abilities and Calibers
and that Essence
of the Majesty is how much above and
beyond and farther to and far away and ahead of the scope of the human wisdom
and physical perception.
Allah
Almighty says:
*
O
mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay heed to it: Lo! those on whom you call
beside Allah
will never create a fly though they combine together for the
purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from
it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought! They measure not Allah
His
rightful measure. Lo! Allah
is Strong, Almighty (22:73)
Further,
this aim is also in the mind of this Faqeer
in giving the afore-mentioned
statement that the human being should understand his abject, disable and a
naught existentiality that it is a drop of impure water in which the gas of the
image and haughtiness of the Nafs
has entered and he, swollen with the air of
vanity and Egotism, hovering here and there over the surface of the world with
silly demur and tantrum, is thinking that 'all except me are just nothing'.
Side by side this, the readers may further be Illuminated that this physical
world which is also called the Realm of the Witnessed (Aalim-e-Shahadat), is as
much dark and narrow a place is as compared to the Invisible Subtle
Cosmos of
the Realm of the Unseen is the womb of mother for the fetus as compared to this
outward world. Thus, the human being ought not to consider this physical
atmosphere to be everything but instead this should be crystal clear on him
that like this ours vast and huge world, there are many other countless earths
and spheres in Allah's Cosmos as compared to which ours this earth, in spite of
its vastness and magnitude, is like a dust particle. Moreover, you should
estimate the worth of your 'self' inside this multiplicity of so many creations
and populations with which this earth is diversely filled and, therefore, you
should not walk on earth with pride and haughtiness as Allah
Almighty says:
And
walk not in the earth exultant. Lo! you cannot rend earth, nor can you stretch
to the height of the hills (17:37)
