Noor ul Huda Qalan

That person, who is steadfast (and persistent) on the Course of Deen (religion) in his life and is on the Course of Istiqamat , his end will end in good and will be with intact Eimaan in the realm of death (Mamaat )!

HADIS

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

That person, who said 'Laaa-Ilaaha Ill-Allahu Muhammad-ur-Rasoolu-Allah Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam' [from core of truthfulness of heart and with absolute sincerity], will enter the Garden without facing Retribution and Punishment.

ABYAAT (COUPLETS)

He, who get bright visionary power due to the compassion of His Qurb,

Then, they, the "eyes with vision" are left with no worry of any sort,

Eye can hide that only which is not visible; I am, but, the Seer of Ain (the Essence of Lord),

I tell what is Ain (the Essence of Lord) and know what is Ain,

This Arif finds this Station by a great deal of Taufeeq ,

He visions the Outward and Inward with gaze,

How can the Born blind and the blind by birth see Liqaa (and Didaar) ?

(He, who is Inwardly) blind will not believe even after seeing.

Allah is sufficient; everything other than Allah is just lust (and greed)!

Thus, Murshid-e-Kaamil should, first, demand from the Seeker the Martaba of being Seeker and the Seeker should enquire from the Murshid the terms and conditions of being Murshid. The Martaba of Seekers is making the Nafs dead like Mamaat during their Hayaat (life) and the Martaba of the Murshid is the Fanaa-Fi-Allah-Zaat (Destroyed in Allah the Essence)!

BAYT (COUPLET)

I have become Fanaa (Destroyed) in the Essence (Zaat ) of Haq!

They, in Teer-Sair of (the Stations of) Sifaat (Calibers ), cannot understand this?

This Course of Faqar the Marifat and Tauheed can never come in [the ways of customs and practice] of Taqleed . In the event that, speaking and listening (Qeel-O-Qaal ) is all Taqleed, whereas refining the seeing and showing is all Tauheed .

ABOUT ISTIQAMAT AND KARAMAT: Uprightness is called Istiqamat which implies that the Faqeer should remain safe against unrighteousness and should never allow the taint of Nafs and Satan in him. It also implies that he should never be desirous of anything else besides Allah. That unusual outcome that apparently seems impossible, if that happens by the Aulia-Allah Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim, then it is called Karamat and if such happens by a non believer, then it is called Istadraaj . Since, in Karamat , there is possibility of the taint of the Nafs that is why Istiqamat is above Karamat.
