Muhkumul Faqara

He, who is Arif-Bi-Allah, he witnesses the spectacle of the Haq-ul-Yaqeen!

BAYT (COUPLET)

Heart is, but, the House of Allah Evolver,

How can you call the house of Satan a heart?

As has been pointed out in this Verse of the Holy Quran, the Master-of-Qalb reaches unto the Martaba of "and restrain yourself" (18:28). That is why, the Prophet of God Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has said about them: "Faqar is my pride and Faqar is from me

And some from the other Orders say and it is often heard that "keeping Optional Fasts is saving of bread, and offering Optional Assalaat (Prayers) is the practice of the widows and traveling for Hajj (Muslim Pilgrimage) is the sightseeing of the world, yes however, bringing heart in one's fist [doing sympathy] is the task of the Mardaan".

ANSWER:

Writer [Faqeer Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe] says that those, who assert this, they say wrong and instead they are themselves perplexed (distraught) and are irreligious people, who like to cause movement in their heart by (temporarily) stopping taking breath. This way and ritual is of the Kuffaar the People of Hell, who release the breath through nose. It would be better if you do not even look at the face of these Dead Hearted persons!

Offering Optional prayers (Nawafil), is a way to please Allah Almighty; and keeping Optional Fasts is the chastity of soul and discharging duties of the Fundamentals of Islam and going on Hajj (Muslim Pilgrimage) is the intactness of the Eimaan. He, who restrains one against worship of Lord, he is Satan.

[O Real-Seeker] be mindful! In the sight of the Arif-Bi-Allah Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destroyed in Allah), bringing heart in one's fist [doing sympathy] is the task of the Imperfect guys [whereas] seeing God and (then) identifying Him is the task of the Immature and the Incomplete people.

HADIS

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

Think in His signs and think not about His person (Essence).
