Irfan (Volume 2) IRFAAN 2

155-156

Contrary to this, at the time of the visit of the Satan Jinn and the Evil Spirits, heart feels worried for no apparent reason, feels tightness and anxiety and is surrounded by a mess of sensual and worldly Khatraat and Waswasa. Angels and archangels often appear before the human being in a model figure. Rarely they come in their original figure. Their faces are like the human beings but are more round and circular and on their bodies are present specific Subtle Noori Wings and fur. Angels of earth and heavens are far greater in number as compared to the Jinnaat and the humans. Earth, seven heavens, Loh-O-Qalam and the Arsh and Kursi, in short, the whole universe of Allah Almighty is full of them. Angels are of many kind and each kind is assigned separate duty and has its name according to the duty they do. No one besides Allah Almighty know their detailed conditions.

Allah Almighty says: None knows the hosts of your Lord save Him (74:31)

Physical power, wisdom and perception and the power of flying of the Angels is far superior to the common Jinn and human beings. However, the special chosen slaves of God supersede ordinary Angels and archangels in their Degree and Martaba . This Faqeer has seen and observed the Jinn, Angels and Spirits many times in my intact consciousness and senses and in wakeful condition and has got benefit from them so much so that often the Muqarribeen Angels have also been seen and unity has been achieved with them by unity Damm with them and good time and benefit has also been got through them. Often when someone died in our city, this Faqeer used to see Hazrat Izraeel Alaihis-Salaam along with his staff Angels in his specific way and figure matching the wretchedness or goodness of the dying person by virtue of which the wretchedness or goodness of that person was known and at times, meeting was also done with the Angel of Death before he had captured the Spirit.

Once an old man with white beard fell ill in our city. He was very virtuous, righteous and ascetic (worshipper) and ascetic and poor person. The night he was to die, I observed the situation of the seizure of his Spirit in this way that I saw Hazrat Izraeel Alaihis-Salaam descending from heavens in the shape of a big white swan that was hovering over and circling around that old man same as swans fly over the surface of a pond when they intend to catch fish.

Thus, after making some rounds, as I saw, it dived at that house and came down in a way as the swan usually does on water surface in order to catch fish. When that Heavenly Swan had caught the fish of the Ruh (Spirit) of that old man from the pond of that house and rose higher in atmosphere and air, I observed that the head and face of that Bird has become exactly like that of the dead old man and that Bird twisted its body and turned upside down like a pigeon while flying and was rising and ascending higher up the sky singing the psalms of the Hymns of the Praise of God Almighty and was eventually disappeared from sight. Its Noori face was so illuminated, decorated and beauteous at that time and the Words and Songs of the recital of its Hymn and Extol were so delightful and pleasant that I fell in ecstasy for quite some time after hearing those!

Allah Almighty says: Have you not seen that Allah, He it is Whom al who are in the heavens and the earth praise (24:41)

In this way, Hazrat Izraeel Alaihis-Salaam descend towards and appear for every dying person in separate Jalaali and Jamaali forms according to the wretchedness and goodness of that person in order to capture his Spirit and sometimes, before his action of capturing the spirit, the opportunity of shaking hand with him, meeting with him and talk with him is got.

When the Saalik has become Master in Dawat , his Damm turn alive through Dawat . Then he needs not to move his tongue and lips for the Dawat and he uses his gaze (Nazar), Tawajuh and Damm instead. Such Living-Damm Aamil establishes Unity (Ittehad) with every angel, Wali and Prophet by combining his Damm with them and in this way he gets filled with the Noor and Power of every angel, Wali and Prophet and he utilizes this Noor and Power as much as he has capacity, largeness and Taufeeq inside him and gets benefits and facilitation. For example, if a Living-Damm Aamil needs to pray for rain, he Unites his Damm with the Angel Michael Alaihis-Salaam. Since this Angel is appointed by Allah Almighty for the facility of rains. Hence, when the Living-Damm Aamil is filled with his Noor and Power after making Unity with the Angel Michael Alaihis-Salaam, and same time when he submits his request and asking before Allah Almighty for rain, the arrangement and facility of rain is provided the same time.
