Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

135-136

Hence, every that thing, which stops the Saalik of the Inwardly Path of Allah Almighty, it bears the title of the enemy for him even if these are his own self, wealth, children and family as Allah Almighty says:

Lo! Among your wives and your children there are enemies for you (64:14)

Can these claimants of just Verbal Tauheed reach the Practical Tauheed of Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis-Salaam? Conversely, when a worldly hardship confronts them, they repeatedly knock at the doors of the cruel worldly people, Faasiq (Miscreant), Faajir (sinner), irreligious officers and the Kaafir and Mushrik (Polytheist) rulers for help. If they become ill, they feel no shame in getting medical treatment of doctors. Even if they prescribe for them the mother evil like liquor and the juice of hog's stomach, they drink these with their sweet will. At these occasions, the boat of their Verbal Tauheed sinks in midst of sea. Their Tauheed tainted with jealousy and arrogance rises like storm only on those occasions when the help in guidance or leadership of some chosen slave of Allah like a Prophet or Wali is sought on the Course of Allah Almighty or the therapy and treatment of some Doctor of Hearts or Therapist of Spirits is requested for Inwardly and Spiritual disorders or when one humbly reaches the door of some Inwardly Spiritual Aalim who has been honored with the knowledge 'from Our presence' for the Inwardly Ilm. These blindfolded, hypocrites, claimants of Verbal Tauheed, slaves of Nafs have no relation with Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis-Salaam who was Practical Monotheist and the Seeker Saalik of Allah Almighty who heroically sacrificed his Nafs and soul on the Course of Allah. The former are greedy for the Sordid Dunya (World) and are seekers of its rule and their prime aim and objective in their every action and effort is attainment of worldly ascendancy and Outwardly fame and pomp. In case of the Practical demonstration of their Tauheed, they can never ever be the true followers of Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis-Salaam in any way.

It was the Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis-Salaam who first time on earth built the Khana-e-Kaba and the House of Allah Almighty, that is, the Place of Worship of Allah Almighty and its image and map was taken from the Baytul-Mamoor that is, the Inwardly and Noori frequented Ka'ba and that Invisible Ka'ba of soul and heart is the original one whereas the Ka'ba made of water and bricks is its copy and image. If we carefully observe, there is great resemblance and similarity between these two and the Saints of Faith and the ancient righteous personalities have hinted towards both these superficial and incorporeal, virtual, real, material and spiritual, Outwardly and Inwardly kinds of Ka'ba in their couplets and books as Hazrat Maulana Room says in his Masnavi:

Achieve (and humor) your heart, as this is the Hajj e Akbar,

And a heart is better than thousands of Ka'bas,

As the foundation of Ka'ba was laid by Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihis-Salaam,

While the heart in itself is the visiting place of Allah Almighty.

[Jalal u Din Rumi]

Every person has chosen his Ka'ba and Qiblah according to his understanding and ability and has declared its Hajj, Pilgrimage, Tawaaf, Sacrifice and Rituals the means of his deliverance. Those, who are devoid of and ignoramus about the real, invisible and spiritual world of the Realm of the Unseen and merely possess physical senses and Outwardly perception, they have chosen the Ka'ba made of water and bricks, that is, the copy whereas those, who possess the Inwardly senses and are aware of the real world of the Realm of the Unseen, they have chosen the Ka'ba of soul and heart, that is, the real Ka'ba. Some reports of Ahadees and Commentaries, throw light on declarations and the reality of the state of affairs of both these Ka'bas, their respective Hajj and Sacrifices and those persons, who are endowed with the religious understanding and perspicacity, can ascertain well between the original and copy and the reality and admissibility.

Islam has declared two Eids in a year: One is Eid ul Fitr which comes after the Holy Ramadan and other is Eid ul Adha which is solemnized in Zilhaj. Former is also called small Eid and later grand Eid. On Eid ul Fitr, the Muslims celebrate for their Fasting for thirty days in which they remained hungry and thirsty (all the day) and offered Assalaat (Prayers) and obeyed Order of Allah Almighty.
