Clearly
written on the head of every grain is,
The
name and lineage of the person to whom it is destined.
[Jalal
u Din Rumi]
That
is, on each grain (of food) it has been mentioned that it is the share of a
particular person. Same as the letter addressed to a particular person is not
delivered by the postman to another person, the share of one person is not delivered
to another person nor any person can eat the share of the other. The part,
share and entitled sustenance
is received by every person through the concerned
Angels at their fixed times. However, a person temporarily becomes the
owner and keeper of other person's share and Sustenance
before the time fixed
for delivery to them (by the Angels) by grasping
it due to his greed
(grasping) and avidity. However, when the time of its eating and using that
share approaches, that Sustenance
is taken away from him and delivered to their
real deservers. Some fanatics affected by a politically delirium say
that Assalaat (Prayers), Roza (Fasting), Nawafil, Recitation
(of Holy Quran)
and Zikr
Fikr
is not original Worship
but instead it is a futile exercise and
the wastage of time and this saying of Allah
Almighty that 'I created the jinn
and humankind only that they might worship
Me'
implies towards that Worship
which means the Service to Mankind, that is, helping the Creatures
of Lord in
their cause of Sustenance
and Livelihood. Thus, the real worship
is grasping
the political power and authority and after becoming the part of such
government, the standard of life of the poor people has to be raised.
Nevertheless, in the following verses 'I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I
ask that they should feed Me. Lo! Allah! He it is that gives livelihood, Lord
of unbreakable might (51:57-58)
, Allah
Almighty has negated this thing, that is,
by this 'worship', Allah's intention is not 'the acquisition of the Sustenance'
nor is this the desire of Allah
Almighty that 'they should deliver food and
sustenance
to His bondmen but Allah
Almighty Himself is the Absolute
Sustainer
and the Provider for His creation and His is
Lord of unbreakable might and for the case of Sustenance
He is not the needy of
anyone's assistance and help' but the aforesaid political fanatics share
the government on one hand and become authority and provider for His creation
as partners of Allah
Almighty (May Allah
forbid).

What
nice has been said by someone:
Your son is the Slave
of Allah; do not worry for him,
Who
you are that can sustain him better than Allah?
[Saadi]
Thus,
the case of Sustenance
is the responsibility of Allah
Almighty and the original
Worship
and the aim and purpose of the creation of the Jinn
and the humankind
means wayfaring towards Allah
Almighty with the virtual feet
after following the order of 'therefore, flee unto Allah'(51:50)
through the means of the Name
Allah
, His Words
(of Revelation) and the Zikr
and Fikr
and the Visualizations of His Names and
the Dawaat; and achieving His Marifat, Qurb
, Wisaal
, Fanaa
and Baqaa
and the Mushahida
and Liqaa; and becoming the eternally living and frequented along with Him
through His Noor! Alas! The people, who are hungry for the political power, try
to craft the excuses and pretexts of this kind in the misleading garbs and
uniforms of religion in order to grasp over the seats of the government and
these people show themselves to be the righteous ones and the flag bearers of
the Doctrine of Faith. However, when the Satanic intoxication of Rule enters
their brains and the toxicity of the carcass of the wealth of Dunya
(World)
reaches their nose, they turn tyrant and bloodthirsty a degree above than their
predecessors as someone has said:
At
the hour they are deposed, the rulers show to be Shaikh
Shibli
and Bayezid,
Whereas
when they are in Power, they are passionate like (accursed) Shimr and behave
like Yazeed.
[Saadi]
The
reason is that it is a peculiarity of the wine of wealth is that it turns him
intoxicated and unconscious through whose throat in reaches down.
It
easy to keep consciousness after drinking goblet of wine,
But
real man is he, who has power (and wealth) but is not the intoxicated by it.
[Hafez]
Accumulating
wealth, acquiring ruling power and ascendancy, and increasing possessions and gold-and-silver
has been declared the way, vocation and the behavior of the Kuffaar, Mushrikeen
and Hypocrites by Allah
Almighty.

Almighty
