Meanings
of Ilm are such that one should observe the Sunnat and the Adaab
(manners) of-Muhammad
Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee
Wa-sallam
. And
Ilm also means this that he should see the formalities of Shariyat
and the manners of Ulema . Aalim should be that, who is Aamil
, who
is expert of the Clear Deen
(religion), is free of Riya
(Duplicity) and bribery
and is the Master of Fear. All these things have link with physical worship
and virtues as apparently the physical body is meant for the deliverance
through Outwardly Worship and Obedience and the
deliverance of the Slave (of God) is impossible in absence of the Marifat
of Lord
.
[O
True-Seeker !] Do you know that what is the Hubb e Zaat
(Friendship
and Love with the Essence)? Hubb e Zaat is this that when Hazrat
Musa Alaihis-Salaam
said: 'My Lord! Show me (Yourself), that I may gaze
upon You (7:143) in his Friendship
and Love with Lord
. Then
Tajalli (Light) descended upon the Mount Sinai (Koh e Toor) from
that Essence because of his Muhabbat with the Marifat
of Lord. [He
fell unconscious and the mountain burnt into ashes] and same like this, the Muhabbat
(Cordiality and Affection) of Marifat of Lord
led Hazrat
Ibrahim Alaihis-Salaam
unto fire and the fire turned into garden of roses. Same like this, Muhabbat of
the Marifat of Lord
brought
Hazrat
Yusuf (Joseph) Alaihis-Salaam
inside the well and the
same Muhabbat pulled Hazrat
Zakariya Alaihis-Salaam
(Zachariah)
under the (teeth of) saw. Moreover, the Hubb e Maula (Friendship and Love with
Lord) took Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
inside the Cave (of Hira) and led him
unto the Mi'raaj (the
Holy Ascension) from the Cave!
So,
how could one be Aalim Faazil
when he does not Demand Lord and
the Marifat of Lord
? Because a person spends his entire life in
studying Ilm and thereafter when he asks Ilm that O Word of Allah
Almighty! [Educate me] about Marifat of Lord
and Tajalliyaat of the Almighty
Evolver
through the Way
of Inward and give me the honor of beholding the blessed face of Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
, and he gets no answer from the book
or the word. This is because the Ilm is companion of the education unto
Obedience. However, Ilm says that he should seek the help from the [Kaamil
] Murshid
through the Tareeq (Way) of the Tahqeeq (Verification)
because the Ilm of Qaal (Utterance and Word) is other thing
and the Ilm of Amaal is other thing. Hence, Demand
the Zikr
of Haal and Marifat of Wisaal from the Murshid !
[Thereto,
the writer of the book (Faqeer Bahu
Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala
Alaihe
)
says that] No! No! I said wrong. Ilm (to know) is that through which the
access to 'the known' should become possible. What thing is desired from
Ilm that one should reach unto the known? [Hence,] when Ilm
enters the body, thence, the ignorance, Shirk , Kufr and arrogance and
other Hijaabaat of Darkness etc. do not last.
