295-296

Already have We urged unto hell many of them of the jinn and humankind, having hearts wherewith they understand not, and having eyes wherewith they see not, and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are as the cattle nay, but they are worse! These are the neglectful (7:179)

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

Such an era will arrive on my people that not the core of Islam but just the customs and practices will exist in practice in the name of Islam.

This is the same period of time when the Fundamentals of Islam are being practiced merely as customs and formality just for show off and ostentation. These are not at all offered for the gladness (and accreditation) and happiness of Allah Almighty and only the so called Momineen are present in the world. By name they are Ibrahim but in discord and insurrection, they seem above Nimrood even. Name is Musa, but in cruelty and capitalism, they surpass Qaroon and Pharaoh. Some have name 'Ghulam Muhammad' and 'Ghulam Ahmed' but they have hidden in their sleeves many Abu Jahl and Yazid. In short. such kind of Muslims have no need of Allah at all. It makes no difference that you were born in the house of a Muslim and were given an Islamic name when you are worse than the Kuffaar in terms of your deeds and character. May Allah show the right path to these Muslims and may let them taste the flavor of His Name and His Word otherwise condition is looking much appalling.

In the widespread ventures across frontier, the Inwardly audacity and Spiritual Tawajuh of the saintly Aulia was in action for the Muslim kings of their age by virtue of which, they used to stand victorious against the confronting nations greater in number and power and might. These Muslim kings gave the status of the rightly owners of the face of earth and the Oulul-Amar and Sovereigns and their real supporters to these Respectful Aulia Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim as Allah Almighty says:

And verily We have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth. Lo! there is plain statement for folk who are devout (21:105)

*

And that, that person, who is demander of the real and rightful inheritance and the Inwardly Rule of My earth, he can achieve this thing though the abundance of My Zikr and Worship. Therefore, the Muslim Sovereigns of previous times considered the Respectful Aulia to be the real heirs (and inheritors) and the Oulul-Amar (in Authority) Sovereigns on the face of earth and they considered themselves their Shadow and Reflection and considered the solidarity and continuity of their rule by virtue of their Spiritual Power and the Inwardly Tasarruf. Thus, those foreseers, wise and religious kings gave the Aulia Karaam full cordial respect and honor during their lives as well as after their departures from the world. Hence, many of the earlier emperors especially the biggest kings of the Mughal Dynasty like Jalaal ud Din Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jehaan and Aurangzeb etcetera often used to go on the pilgrimage on the blessed tomb of Hazrat Khawaja Moeen ud Din Chishti Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe on foot. King Shah Jehaan was a slave of the sanctuary of Hazrat Mian Mir Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and often he humbly visited his place like a common pedestrian. The Materialistic minded and heretics of this age consider these kinds of the beliefs and practices of the olden kings as their superstition and plain thinking because the Western Education has paralyzed and poisoned the hearts and minds of the people of our nation with the materialism and freethinking due to which, the hearts of many people have died religiously, and their religious perception has totally become extinct. And those, who have remained rather safe against the effects of such edification, they have fallen the victims of incurable contagious diseases due to the widespread effects of the common atmosphere of the aforesaid education. When the People-of-Allah noticed that the rulers and the leaders have become the prey of the temptation and sensual passions and the hearts of the subjects and general people have become religiously sick, and when these Doctors of Heart found that the state and government and the Outwardly pomp and power and the sensual luxury and lavishness (on Satanic lines) is eating the Faith and Eimaan of the Muslims like an invisible wood-boring beetle; they considered the vantage of the Muslim in this way that this Outwardly wealth and splendor and the national power and influence should be taken back from their hands.
