Makhzanul Asrar Makhzan Ul Asrar

Now only one thing needs explanation that what Inwardly Excellence and Perfection (and Attainment) is in the Faqar on which, the blessed and auspicious essence of the Pride of Messengers takes pride. In Arabic language, Faqar (Faqr or Fakr) means poverty and paucity and the worldly indigence and destitution. On the other hand, in the Inwardly World, Faqar is the name of Lordship and kingship of both the Worlds. Thus, when someone asked the definition of Faqar from Hazrat Pir Mahboob e Subhani Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz, he replied that:

'In the Realm of the Inward, Faqeer is not him, who lacks money and wealth, but instead he is Faqeer who, for anything says to happen, it is happened (accordingly)'.

That is, Faqeer is that distinctive personality and that beloved being, who is the Maalik-ul-Mulk and his tongue is Saif ur Rahmaan (Sword of the Beneficent) that for whatever matter, he orders to be, it is happened. Moreover, this also fits as definition of Faqar that:

When Faqar when the Martaba of Faqar reaches its Ultimate end, there remains Allah and only Allah.

That is, Faqeer , after achieving Fanaa in the Noor of Allah Almighty, become Baaqi Bi Allah through His Noor. Hence, in Inward, Faqar is the sublime most, the superior most and the highest Martaba and the name of the most exalted Degree.

However, the said Faqar is the Faqar-e-Ikhtiyari , not the Faqar-e-Iztarari and paucity that is just the worldly poverty and indigence and a cause of notoriety and ignominy. Refuge in Allah has been sought against such Faqar , which falls straight it bows and stoops before the worldly people in their respect and honor for worldly greed and avarice. Hence,

[The Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that:] I seek refuge in Allah against Faqar-e-Mukibb .

Such Faqar is the blackedness of face in both the Worlds. On the other hand, the special and extraordinary Faqar is Lordship of both the Worlds. Hence, there is no other Martaba higher and superior in Inward than it and amomgst all the Holy Prophets, this Highest Mansib, Allah Almighty bestowed upon, Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam and from thenceforth, by his Auspiciousness (and blessing) means, granted it to special and extraordinary pure and distinctive Fanaa-Fi-Rasool personalities of his Ummat. There are many sacred Ahadees concerning Faqar but, for the Fazeelat of Faqar , we just quote one Hadis reported by Hazrat Abi Zar Ghaffari Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhu for explaining the ascendance of the glory of Faqar.
