Muftahul Arifeen

That is, the "knowing" the first Letter with wisdom (Danish) which is just the Ilm of Certainty (Ilm-ul-Yaqeen). And the Middle (level) seen Station (Deed Maqaam) of Majzoob where are seen the Tajalliyaat of the Noor of Lord with Ain-ul-Yaqeen and in wake of low courage (and ardor), becoming unable to endure their overwhelming dominances and while burning in the fire of the Zikr and Fikr, they fall in the Sehve, Sukr, Qabz and Bast and remain perplexed (distraught) because of the hotness of Ecstasy (Wajad) in this Gulf of the Ocean of Hairat and thenceforth become demented, crazy and Majzoob.

The Ultimate degree is of the Haq-ul-Yaqeen that is becoming Drowned in Haq through the Visualization and Tasarruf of the Name Allah. This is achieved by that person, who has magnanimous courage (and ardor) and only he can bear the Marifat of Divine. Thus, such person, after causing his tongue silent, converses through heart with the Ability of Lord. People believe as if he is talking with them [but in reality, he is talking with Allah Almighty]. This is the Master of Taufeeq (Sahib e Taufeeq) in the Khulq (tremendous nature and conduct) of the Benefactor of Creatures - Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam because his food is Mujahida and his dream is Mushahida! His, this, Mushahida bears witness to his condition (Haal).

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

Only that seeps out of the pot, which is contained inside it.

[That is, when there will be nothing inside a pot, what will come out of it? Nothing]

Another witness of the Arif-Bi-Allah with Haq-ul-Yaqeen is this that he sees only Haq, says only Haq and hears only Haq and is Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destroyed in Allah) Ba Haq (rightfully) because such person is the one, who has totally given up Baatil. Hence, the total Maratib are three.

The preliminary is Mahjoob (veiled): From Murshid Mahjoob, the Seeker becomes Mahjoob in the very first day. That is, he progresses in Demand for Dunya (World) and Rujuaat-e-Khalq by virtue of which, he has value and worth in the eyes of people and he appears to be the Master of Greatness and Karamat (Sahib e Azmat O Karamat) but he stands away of the Marifat of Lord and Faqar of Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam!
