SHARAH OF ZIKR

Allah Almighty says: Ask the People of remembrance if you know not (16:43)

Allah Almighty says: Lo! Good deeds annul ill deeds. This is a reminder for the mindful. (11:114)

And this is the Zikr of the Zaakireen:

Allah Almighty says: call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. (7:55)

And in the Zikr-e-Khafi through the Visualization of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat), there take birth fourteen Subtleties of the Uncreated Noor inside the body. The Zaakir of Zikr-e-Khafi uses to always be with the Marifat of the Tauheed Ma-Allah with Qurb of Hazoor and sits in the Majlis of the Prophets Alaihimus-Salaam and the Aulia-Allah Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim and talks with them. Only Allah Almighty is his focal attention with the afore-mentioned Zikr and He alone is his Favorite (and Accepted one). The Zikr-e-Khafi is Mujammil (Abstract) and entire deeds of goodness are combined inside it.

Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam said that: "Lo! Evil deeds are annulled by offering Assalaat (Prayers), extending benevolence and reciting Kalimah-e-Tayyeb "

"individual-obligation amongst all the obligations is saying Laaa-Ilaaha Ill-Allahu Muhammad-ur-Rasoolu-Allah".

The way of reciting the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb of the common men as a formality and custom is different and the way of reciting the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb by the people of Qurb of Allah is different.

BAYT (COUPLET)

The Zikr of Haq is a Noor that leads unto the Hazoori,

The beneficence-and-Fazal of Allah Almighty is the wholesome for the Zaakireen.

The Zaakireen of this type are rather unique [and] they are only those, who are aware of Tauheed. That person, who reads Kalimah-e-Tayyeb with the Depth of Nafi and says: "Laaa-Ilaaha "[there is no deity of worship], he loses control on his self and his Nafs reaches unto the Maratib of Fanaa Die-before-death.

ABOUT THE ZIKR OF Kalimah-e-Tayyeb (AND NAFI AND ASBAAT):

The Zikr of Kalimah-e-Tayyeb is the superior Zikr. It is the lamp of Selk-Salook of the Qadiri (Sufi) Order. It has three parts:

1.                   Through Laaa-Ilaaha, Nafi is realized. This Nafi is completely for all that, which is besides Allah.

2.                   Through the Ill-Allahu, the Faqeer is Drowned in the Wahdat and attains the Marifat of Ill-Allahu. With it, the Noori body gets that ability of flight that cannot be explained in words. He meets the Roohani by this.

3.                   Through 'Muhammad-ur-Rasoolu-Allah (Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam is the Prophet of Allah) is achieved the Hazoori of the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam which is the entirety (and perfection) of the Faqar.

However, just verbal recitation of the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb, like a parrot, grants nothing except Sawaab as long as a Master of Kalimah-e-Tayyeb does not get the Seeker read it and does not tell him its Depth because he, who recites it with the Depth, reaches unto the highest degrees and gains this supreme blessing and thenceforth he does not say it through tongue but hears its recital from his Qalb. Hazrat Sultan ul Arifeen Hazrat Sultan Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe has said in his Punjabi couplets that there is no better elixir for heart than the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb. Only the Kalimah e Tayyeb is the most effective balm for the heart. The Kalimah-e-Tayyeb removes the corrosion of polytheism, Kufr, greed, desire, grudge, and vanity and jealousy etcetera from the heart and washes the pollution of the filth of Dunya (World) from heart. On the Day of Judgment, the Zikr of Kalimah-e-Tayyeb will be diamonds and rubies and jewels and the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb is the outlet of Marifat in the heart of the Arif, which has all balms and cures. O Bahu! Here and there, in both the worlds, just the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb is the whole world. (Explanation by Dr. K. B. Naseem Rh.).
