Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

97-98

How clearly Allah Almighty has drawn the sketch of the enmity, hostility and antagonism in every period of time of the People of Baatil like Devil Jinnaat and Satanic Jinnaat with the People of Haq like the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam and the Aulia Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim! Particularly the outline of the European Spiritualists of today has been completely shown in the above verses that even the dead ones are coming to converse with them and yet the demon of freethinking and irreligiousness is occupying their minds. Hence, the original Hidayat is from the end of Allah. There are some people, who are devoid of the Outwardly and Vocational Ilm and they have not seen anything of the Subtle Creature of the Realm of the Unseen like the Jinn, Angels and spirits and yet bear such a perfect Belief on Allah Almighty, His Angels, Divine Scriptures, Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam, Day of Doom, Hell, Heaven and the Accountability and Reward etcetera as if they have witnessed all these Invisible things through their own eyes! In contrast, these people of Shaqee of the Azal who are Plato of the day in every Outwardly and Professional Ilm and every next day do the observations and seeing spectacles of these Invisible Spirits in their Circle and yet their irreligiousness and freethinking is unshakable.

*

Hundreds and thousands of (Outward ) bounties he has known form Uloom (sciences),

He knows not that they are (Inwardly ) oppressive in the real sense,

He knows the properties of every substance,

But is unaware of his own essence like a donkey,

Purify your (inner) self, using your own abilities,

Minutely observe your essence and make it clean and pure by yourself,

See inside the heart of the Uloom of the Holy Prophets,

Which cannot be confined in the books, digits and? texts.

[Jalalud-Din Rumi]

After the Haziraat and Taskheeraat of the Jinnaat, we now mention the Haziraat of the Angels and archangels. Since Jinn, like the Human Being is a Mukallif (bound or charged with duty) Creature and their Subtle Folk and Invisible Kingdom is very near to the Realm of the Witnessed of the human beings and their effects are visible in the human beings in shape of damage and harm like this that a Jinn will occupy some man, woman or child and some people come across with Jinnaat in dream or wakefulness, therefore, the human being gets convinced about their existence in some way and their Haziraat and Taskheer is also understandable to some extent. However, usually the Angels are considered to be a supernatural and a thing beyond the scope of wisdom and perception and it is said that the Angels and archangels used to come and go and attend only the Holy Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam and the Holy Messengers (of Allah Almighty) Alaihimus-Salaam and they are concerned with, assigned to and limited to them alone and no person other than the Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam, even if he is a Wali, has a capacity and ability to see Angels, meet with them or take some service from them but this conception of the common people is totally wrong. Angels are the creation of Allah Almighty and are appointed by Allah for our service as Allah Almighty says:

Lo! Those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the Angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but bear good tidings of the paradise which you are promised. We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter (41:30-31)
