Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

However, regrets are for some of our those sensual clerics with narrow understanding, who have never felt even a puff of the spiritual world that when they read the accounts of the display of this kind of spiritual power and Inwardly Force, in order to make these accounts matching with their imperfect material approach, they bring forth strange irrelevant explanations of these verses and the Miracles distorting their real intent and they completely disfigure their realism and originality and prove them to be the plays of the (histrionic) jugglers and the devices of illusions.

What would they do otherwise than giving such bogus explanations for the real and natural Miracles of (the Realm of) Command and for the Extraordinary Paranormal habits of the Messengers of Allah Almighty because they are those people, who have claimed the Office of Prophecy just on the basis of trick and behind the curtain of deceit and have just verbal claims and fabricated false prophecies in their favor as compared to the awful Spiritual Powers and the Inwardly Forces (of the real Messengers of Allah) and the camp of an illusionist at once side and the abject Cabinet and the curtain of the Sifli marvels of the Medium of the Spiritualist of Europe on the other hand both feel more authentic and weighty as compared to the imaginary false revelations and the fake foretelling of their counterfeit messenger! Someone has said well:

Not every that person is called Musa who holds a staff,

The wise do not call every hand the Yad e Beza (glowing hand of Musa),

Great difference is between the fart of donkey and the blow of the mouth of Esa,

Not every person, who blows from mouth, is called Messiah.

[Mir Anees]

Hence, when it is beyond the scopes of material wisdom and its perception to estimate the Realm of the Witnessed, that is, this material world and its creations therein, then how can the physical cattle identify the Subtle Kingdom of the Realm of the Unseen and its creatures as they have no Subtle Invisible Senses in order to feel and find them not do they have their access nor have they ever taken birth there but instead they have been lying inside the Invisible Womb of the mother of Materialism (and freethinking) like a fetus.

Hence, those Saalikeen, who undertake Mujahida in the Course of Allah, Allah Almighty shows them His ways:

Allah Almighty says: As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths (29:69)

Those people, who have been following 'therefore, flee unto Allah' (51:50), they surely become Waasil with their Real beloved.

After this, Allah Almighty shows them the tangible and intangible treasures of His Kingdom and employs them in His special and all Holy Sanctuary (Court) as the Outward and Inward servants and members and makes the Jinn, Angels and Spirits their submissive and obedient to their command and they do utilize them whenever they deem fit as Allah Almighty says:

Thus did We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that they might be of those possessing certainty (6:75)

Moreover, Allah Almighty showed the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam His entire Great and Glorious Kingdom and will ever be showing to His special chosen bondmen till the Day of Resurrection.

And that is no great matter for Allah (14:20)

It has been mentioned in Ahadees that Allah Almighty has sent about One Hundred Twenty Four Thousand Messengers Alaihimus-Salaam. However, some Messengers Alaihimus-Salaam have been remembered by their names. About seven thousand years have passed after Hazrat Adam Alaihis-Salaam. Appointment of so many Messengers (of Allah) Alaihimus-Salaam during this short period feels beyond our understanding. The gap between Hazrat Musa Alaihis-Salaam h and our beloved Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam was about five hundred years. Moreover, the life of Hazrat Nooh (Noah) Alaihis-Salaam has been reported about nine hundred years. If we calculate like this, if seventeen or eighteen Messengers Alaihimus-Salaam are appointed in each year, then the afore-mentioned number can be accommodated. The exact date of birth of has not been told in the Holy Quran and the exact period of the creation of this earth is also not known. Therefore, either we have to believe that the appointment of these Messengers Alaihimus-Salaam was on the other Spheres or we have to refer to that Hadis in which the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has advised that fifteen thousand Adams have come in the world and our progenitor Hazrat Adam Alaihis-Salaam was the last Adam who started the race of human beings. Shaikh Muhyiddeen Ibne Arabi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe writes in his book 'Futuhaat e Mecci' that 'I happened to meet some Roohaneen in the Holy Makkah. With other things spoken during the meeting, I asked them the period they had passed away from the world and they told me it was ten to twelve thousand years'.
