Muhikal Faqar (Qalan)

will not ward off Haraam (illicit) and doubtful matters, (and) will enter sheer sinfulness in the Liking for Dunya (World)!

The Noble Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: If Ilm had the honor without (the companionship of) Taqwa, Satan would have been nobler in the creatures of God.

Says Writer (Faqeer Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe) that when Ilm , Amal , Taqwa , and Fear of Lord are all present together inside body, heart become Pure (holy) and Inward frequented (and thriving) by the Kashf of the Noor of Lord.

It should be in knowledge that Ilm is divided into five levels (Tabqaat ):

1.                                                                              Arabi: There was the greatest deal of Ilm that was also followed by the greatest deal of Amal in the blessed era of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam.

2.                                                                              During the era of the Holy Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhum, after the departure (Wisaal) of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam, Ilm was not in much deal but Amal was of the greatest deal.

3.                                                                              After the era of the Holy Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anhum, there will come such a time that Ilm will be in great deal but Amal (Practice) will extinct.

4.                                                                              In fourth era, there will neither be Ilm nor Amal .

5.                                                                              Hazrat Esa Alaihis-Salaam (Jesus Christ) will come down in the Ka'ba Tu Allah from the Fourth Welkin and will Practice upon the Ilm of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam. Hence, there will be profusion of Ilm (followed by Amal in great degrees).

[O True-Seeker !] Be enlightened that Ilm is divided into different kinds:

1.                                                                              Ilm of the Tauheed

2.                                                                              Ilm of the Shariyat

3.                                                                              Ilm of the Fiqah

4.                                                                              Ilm of the Issues (concepts) pertaining to Obligations (Farz )

5.                                                                              Ilm of the Waajib (Essentials)

6.                                                                              Ilm of the Sunnat (the Way of the Holy Prophet)

7.                                                                              Ilm of the Marifat of Lord the assemblage of Ilm

In short, Ilm is like an unfathomable ocean and Aalim is the like boat and the boat cannot sail anywhere other than water and the Aalim-Aamil is like sailor and the Faqeer Arif-Bi-Allah is like diver and the diver, when dives into ocean, gets acquaintance with water and fetches pearls out of the ocean but diving is a difficult job.
