Qalb -The Hidden Spirit

Sufi Master Younus AlGohar Is Uniting The Humanity In Pursuit Of Love.

[qalb-thehiddenspirit]

Declarations of the Mursaleen (the Grand Prophets)

The Christian Motto: ‘La Ilaha Ill Allah Isa Rouh-Allah.’ None other is Deity (Ilah) for except Allah (God)-Jesus is Spirit of God.

The Jewish Motto: ‘La Ilaha Ill Allah Musa Kalim-Allah.’ None other is Deity for except Allah—Moses talks to Allah.

The Abrahamic Motto: ‘La Ilaha Ill Allah Ibrahim Khalil-Allah.’ None other is Deity for except Allah-Abraham is Friend of Allah.

The Muslim Motto: ‘La Ilaha Ill Allah Mohammad Rasul-Allah.’ None other is Deity for except Allah-Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah.

The Hindu and Sikh religions are linked with the religions of Adam and Noah. Since Adam revered the Holy Black Stone, they adopted the ritual of worshipping idols. Those who survived from the great hurricane of Noah propagated in India. Indian Gurus obtained spiritual knowledge and spiritual grace from Khidr also. The names such as of Adam (Shankar Jee) and Khidr (Vishnu Maharaj) are found in the wordings of their prayers.

Followers of all religions, regardless of the different languages they speak, should recite these Kalimas in Suryani, for they are the source of their recognition and salvation. Common folks need to remember God and their respective Messenger at least 33 times a day, in the morning and the evening. One ought to remember God 99 times to be protected from worldly problems on a daily basis, in the morning and in the evening or as much as one may be able to do. One should remember God 5,000 times to prevent calamity in advance. More than one person may collectively remember God ranging from 25,000 to 72,000 times, and the maximum figure is 125,000 times in one sitting.

In order to purify the heart and to efface the black spots of sins (according to a Prophetic Tradition, ‘An angel is appointed to every human being to place black spots on their hearts as a result of committing sins’), do a breathing exercise. Inhale ‘La Ilaha Ill Allah’, and exhale the second part of the Kalima; concentrate on the heart while exhaling. In acquiring love and the proximity of God, there is yet another method, which is difficult without God’s Will. According to the method mentioned here, one has to turn the heartbeats into a constant rosary, and synchronise just the word ‘Allah’ alone in the beating system. Do this exercise daily as much as you can. Dhikr (invocation) can start in some people without them having to concentrate on it, while others have to concentrate, and some others (after the revival of Qalb and Rouh (soul)), can feel it at all times.

God’s Friends invoke God’s name 72,000 times a day, whereas God’s lovers reach the figure of 125,000 times a day. And when other subtleties also engage in God’s remembrance, even the Karaman Katibeen (the appointed angels who keep the record of good deeds) fail to count the frequency.

‘Some of the seekers remain on land, and some others reach the domain of God.’

‘Some others have spiritual access to the Ka’aba, and some others are in God’s audience.’ -Taryaaq-e-Qalb by His Divine Eminence RA Gohar Shahi

Those who practise a religion had better visualise their respective Prophet’s name as well as ‘Allah’, to balance the heat of the word ‘Allah’. They should recite the Kalima of their Prophet until the state of Jalal (majestic effects), Jazb (ecstasy) and Wajd (spiritual pleasure) ends. Also visualise the Spiritual Guide you have met in person, to utilise his spiritual power to write word ‘Allah’ on your heart. Those who do not practise a religion may or may not have a predestined Spiritual Guide. They ought to visualise the names of all five Grand Messengers categorically, and also the Saint they believe in and have met. Then, whomever they belong to will begin to speak in them. In short, they will begin to love, be inclined and directed towards him.

Once upon a time in history, people of the celestial books were united. They were allowed to share food among each other and inter-religion marriages were allowed as well. Similarly, in the present era, people of Dhikr (Heart Invocation) will be united. People of the celestial books were united and gathered temporarily as the book was confined to their tongue (it did not enter their hearts) only; it vanished away. People of the Heart Invocation shall be permanent, as the Name of God and its Divine Light would enter their bloodstream and heart. It is difficult for the illness that has entered the blood, or love that has entered the blood, to come out from it.

Water does not form into electricity until it is splashed together. Milk is churned to produce butter. Similarly repetition of the original verses of Celestial Books creates Divine Light. Repetition of verses and the Names of Divine Attributes produces Sifati Noor (Divine Light of the Attributes). Its access is up to the Malaika (the archangels). This is BilWasta (indirect, requires medium). This is the stage of Wahdat Al Wajoud (unity in existence). Noor (Divine Light) produced by repetition of the personal name of God ‘Allah’ has direct access to God and this is BilaWasta (direct, requires no medium). This relates to Wahdat Al Shahood (unity in witnessing).

Some people love, respect and honour their Prophet and Saints, however, they bear animosity for the Prophets and Saints of other religions. Such people are very unlikely to earn any spiritual status from God, because they talk ill of those whom God loves. It is God Himself who appointed them into different religions.

And one cannot find God by repeating God’s name. One must seek a Spiritual Guide, for only they can take one to God.

Every religion strongly believes that their Prophet is the most eminent and glorified. And this belief caused wars between them. Through spiritual sciences, you should first gain access to the gatherings of the Prophets, for only then you will learn which Prophet possesses what spiritual status and rank.

Important Note

God called every Prophet with a unique name which served as their respective Kalima and means of recognition for the following of the Prophets. These names were in His own language (Suryani). By declaring the respective Kalima, one gets admitted into the following of the Prophet. Declaring thrice is the condition. After his admittance into the following of the Prophet, the more frequently one repeats these words, the more purified he gets. The chanting of these words at the time of adversity becomes a rescue. In the grave also, these words happen to soften the accountability. Even for entry into the paradise, repetition of these words is the condition. 

Followings of all Prophets are advised to memorise these words, and recite them at dawn and at dusk as much as they can. You may read the celestial books in your own language for the purpose of guidance. However, for worship, the original text of the original book renders more spiritual benefits.

[qalb-thehiddenspirit]

When God is pleased by an admirable act of His servant, God looks at him out of utter love, and that washes away his sins. Those who keep company of such individuals also come under the Merciful Sight of God. God’s Friends, ‘The Companions of the Cave’ were in deep meditation. Meanwhile, God continued to look at them with love and affection, which will lead to their companion dog’s entry into paradise. When Sheikh Farid earned God’s Merciful Sight, the shepherd accompanying him was also blessed. 

When God became pleased with Abu Al Hassan due to his efforts, God began to speak with him. One day, God said to him, ‘O’ Abu Al Hassan, people will stone you to death if I tell them about you.’ He replied, ‘Nobody will prostrate before you if I tell them how merciful you are!’ God said, ‘Don’t tell them anything, and either will I.’ 

When Zayed was arrested for the third time for consuming alcohol, the Companions of the Prophet said, ‘Curse him, he repeats this crime time after time.’ Prophet Mohammad said, ‘Do not curse him, for he loves God and His Messenger, and those who love God and His Messenger cannot be sent to hellfire.’ Verily, God loves and takes care of all His creation. God provides for even the helpless insects that dwell in stones. As disobedient offspring are punished and disinherited, similarly, God becomes a penaliser for the disobedient and blasphemous ones. 

Believe the fact God wants to look at you also, but you are either naive, careless or ill-fated. You beautify and groom your face with soap and cream because people look at it. Have you ever cleansed what God wants to look at? 

A Prophetic Tradition states, ‘There is a cleanser for washing up all objects, as for the heart; God’s remembrance.’ 

Those who just verbally proclaim and say, ‘I love you,’ are merely bluffing. Love is an involuntary gift that manifests unplanned. You begin to love what dwells in thy heart! Platonic love concerns itself to the heart. The means of bringing God in the heart are visualisation of God’s name, God’s remembrance articulated within the heartbeats, and the Saints. 

The engine alone cannot make a vehicle work and it cannot transport anybody to their destination until other parts of the vehicle are also fitted in it. Similarly, Salat is also incomplete without attainment of the mortification of the Self (Nafs) and purification of the heart. When you think that without these necessities your worship is sufficient, and that this will earn you the paradise, then why do you label others as hell-bound when they too worship? The difference is one is riding on the donkey of Jesus Christ, and the other on the donkey of the Anti-Christ. However, both are black and darkened in the hearts. (Meaning, one has faith in Jesus but is deprived of the purification of the heart, hence he is fooling himself into believing that he belongs to Jesus. The other one has a troubled heart, hence his heart is darkened). They follow different creeds only, and the creeds will not go forth but the souls will. 

When Salat is confined to verbalisation only, and the heart is polluted with absurdities such as greed and jealousy, it is known as Salat al Surat (worship of the body only). Common folks suffer from this wishful thinking, and continue to be victims of sectarianism. Their propagation of religion creates mischief within the religion. For example: you practised a sectarian school of thought, and worshipped for 10-15 years, and later you realised some other sectarian school of thought was correct, and you joined it. It suggests that the previous sect you practised was false. And God doesn’t honour any worship practised under a false belief system. This is how you rejected the worship (Salat) you carried out for 10-15 years. The chances are the new sect you have adopted might as well be a false one. And all your previous and future worship became a total waste. And at the end of the day you found yourself back to square one where you started from. You should have sought a Spiritual Guide than to waste your precious time.

The Tenet of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi

If the pious ones and the worshippers of all religions stand in a row, and God is requested to manifest His accord as to which ones of them would He prefer to look at, who would He choose? As you would involuntarily look at the glittering stars, whether it is Mars, Mercury or an unknown star, in a similar fashion would God look at the enlightened hearts only, whether or not they practise a religion. 

Sachal Sain said, ‘When one does not have God’s love, Islam hardly differs from the Kufr.’ 

You, in search of God, rush to worship places such as Temples, Churches, and Mosques! Has anyone seen God sitting in any worship place in history? O’ Fools! The dwelling of the Lord is in your heart. Domicile God in your heart; then you shall see that these worship places and its worshippers will run towards you. Bayazid stated, ‘I circumambulated Ka’aba (the Muslims’ sacred place of worship in Mecca) for some time. Since God inhabited me, Ka’aba began circumambulating me.’ The worship places are collection points for good virtues; whereas, the heart is the Divine Abode. In worship places, you shall call upon God. In the hearts, God shall call upon you. 

Not in the fate of the intellectuals is found the Taste of Passion, Those who sacrifice everything are the Bearers of Ishq (Rapturous Lovers). And one cannot find God by repeating God’s name. One must seek a Spiritual Guide, for only they can take one to God. 

Every religion strongly believes that their Prophet is the most eminent and glorified. And this belief caused wars between them. Through spiritual sciences, you should first gain access to the gatherings of the Prophets, for only then you will learn which Prophet possesses what spiritual status and rank.

[qalb-thehiddenspirit]

People say, ‘Worship is the means to find God.’ I declare, ‘The heart is the passage that leads to God.’ 

Worship is but the means to cleanse the heart. You are remotely far off God should you fail to cleanse the heart through worship. God warns, ‘It is not the actions, the bodies and the faces that I look at, rather, the hearts and intentions therein.’ Nevertheless, performance of worship may lead one to paradise. God however, is still far off reach. This esoteric knowledge is suitable to those who aim not to go after paradise and its damsels but to seek just love, proximity and union with God. 

Then as it appears in the verse of Kahaf, ‘God helps them find a Spiritual Guide (Wali-Murshid).’ 

When God is pleased by an admirable act of His servant, God looks at him out of utter love, and that washes away his sins.

His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi’s Revolutionary Message to Humankind

A Muslim says, ‘I am superior to all.’ A Jew declares, ‘I am even better than the Muslim.’ And a Christian says, ‘I am greater than both the Muslim and the Jews, and the rest of the religions, because I am the nation of God’s Son.’ 

But His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi declares that superior and best of all is the one who possess God’s love in his heart, in spite of his indifference to any religion. 

‘Performance of verbal rituals depicts his obedience and submission to God, whereas invocation by the heart serves as an intermediary to obtaining God’s love and communication with God.’ 

Those whom God has granted some rank are divinely verified and those that copy are heretic. The false claimant of Prophet-hood is Kafir (rejector of truth) whereas a false claimant of Sainthood is not far behind Kufr (rejection of truth). A Saint is God’s Friend, and it is essential for a friend to have spoken with him and seen him. Prophet Mohammad once warned his companions that some of the deeds of the Prophet must not be copied and that they are confined to the Prophet only. 

The prayers of every Musalli (worshipper): ‘O’ God, show me the way of those upon whom you bestowed your bounty.’ The true Salat has to be performed in Bait al Mamour, and the soul continues to perform such Salat even after the physical demise, just as the souls of all the Prophets offered Salat in Bait al Muqaddas (Dome of Rock) on the Night of Ascension (Laila tul Meraaj). The seeker must abide by the law of Sharia until he has seen God unveiled. Nevertheless, God has ordained a substitute for the sinners and those who are lazy in worship. Heart Invocation with God’s name indemnifies for the sins and missed out worships, and it turns the aspirant into an enlightened conscience and lover of God eventually. 

‘Then do remember your Lord whilst standing, sitting and tossing on your bed, as when your prayer (Salat) missed out.’ (Koran) 

Nearness, attachment, amiable glances and well-wishes of the Saints also brighten the fate of sinners, and save them from hell. Please note that Prophet Mohammad sent his companions to Owais Qarni to pray for salvation of his Ummah (following). Generosity, Riyadhah (extensive worship and struggle) and martyrdom also may indemnify for the sins, and qualify the sinner for salvation. God appreciates modesty, repentance and tears also. ‘God’s favour: due to this, Nasuha, the one who used to steal the shrouds of dead bodies, and who used to dishonour and assault dead bodies of women, was forgiven by God.’ (The Koran) 

One day, Jesus asked the Satan, ‘Who is your best friend?’ The Satan replied, ‘A miser worshipper.’ Jesus exclaimed, ‘Explain how?’ The Satan said, ‘His stinginess nullifies his worship.’ Jesus continued to ask, ‘Who is your worst enemy?’ The Satan said, ‘A generous sinner.’ Jesus exclaimed, ‘Explain how?’ The Satan said, ‘His generosity washes away his sins.’ 

Those who love and take care of God’s Elite and the common creation, and those who support Haq (the Truth) maintain justice also become worthy of God’s Mercy. 

One day the poet, Iqbal, when he was a student of 3rd or 4th grade, was returning home from his school when he saw a female dog following him. He climbed the stairs to his home, while the female dog kept staring at him senselessly. He thought, ‘Perhaps she is hungry.’ His father had left a loaf of bread for him. He put before her a half of the loaf. She ate it right away, yet she kept staring at him senselessly. He fed her the other half too, and remained hungry for the rest of the day. His father received glad tidings during the night regarding the appreciable act of his son that he had become God’s Favourite. 

Subaktgeen noticed that a deer was following behind his horse as he started to ride away from the jungle, carrying a baby deer. Subaktgeen stopped and noticed that the deer stopped too, raising her head and staring into the sky. Subaktgeen realised that tears were rolling down her eyes. He released the baby deer. Following this incident, God showered so much mercy upon him that afterwards he would often weep in the name of God. 

Mevlana Rumi says, ‘A moment’s company of a Saint is far better than the sincere worship of one hundred years.’ 

A Holy Tradition of Prophet Mohammad states, ‘God says, “I become his tongue with which he speaks, and I become his hands with which he holds.”’

Sirat al Mustaqeem

(Straight Path Leading to God)

Those whose outward is correct but inward is darkened, are a cause of mischief within the religion, and are caliphs of Iblis (the Devil). Tradition of the Prophet Mohammad: ‘Be fearful of the ignorant scholar and distance yourselves from him whose tongue is a scholar but the heart is ignorant (meaning darkened).’ 

Those whose inward is pure but outward is impure are known as Majzoob (spiritually incompetent), Mazour (Helpless), Sukar (spiritually intoxicated) and Munfarid (Unique). 

Taryaq-e-Qalb: ‘What of the accountability when the intellect is lost in God’s love!’ 

They (Majzoob) are a sign of perplexity in the religion however they are in nearness to God. They cannot obtain any further rank or spiritual status. The appointed ones on the ranks are divinely verified, whereas the imposters become heretics. And it was the appointed ones who beat up and verbally abused persons like former President Ayoub, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif when they were in power. Could you beat up somebody in power? Thus, certain acts are confined to the appointed ones only, and a common man cannot copy them. If the outward and the inward both are enlightened and pure, and one engages himself in the outward form of worship as well as invocation by heart, such individuals are known as Alim-e-Rabbani (the Divine Scholars). They inherit the intuitional understanding of the religion and are the Prophet’s representatives. As when an individual’s external and internal both are unified, they are known as Second-to-God. If he performs Hajj spiritually or in a dream, then he is rewarded for this pilgrimage performed in Batin as much as he would have been rewarded for the physical pilgrimage or even greater than that. Ritual prayer by souls is entitled to be equivalent to the outward prayer. Verily, even greater than that! When such an individual performs ritual prayers (Salat) outwardly, it is highly ranked in spirituality also. These are the individuals whose bodies are here among people on earth yet their souls are with God there in higher realms. In the faculty of faqr (the spiritual poverty), such individuals are called Mua’arif (whose soul is the Saint) also. Seeing God suffices and satisfies the thirst of God’s lover. Some people say, ‘God cannot be seen.’ Beware: Prophet Mohammad introduced the knowledge through which God can be seen. Imam Abu Hanifa said, ‘I saw God in dreams ninetynine (99) times.’ Bayazid Bastami said, ‘I saw God seventy (70) times.’ God can be seen through the Faculty of Ana (which lies in the head). However, you are indifferent and unaware of its concerned knowledge and invocation. 

The Friend of God: If people believe someone to be a Saint based on his spiritual insight, marvels and spiritual benevolence, but their heart is disgusted by his religion or any of his deeds, they better stop visiting him rather than passing bad remarks about him. Beware! Someone may be an apple of God’s eye or a Sheikh Baqa, a Laal Shahbaz, a Khidr or a Sai Baba! You may also encounter an Eternal Divine Bride.

Utterances of His Divine Eminence Ra Gohar Shahi

If an individual worships all his life, but in the end, he happens to oppose Imam Mehdi and Jesus Christ (return of both the Personalities to this world is imminent; Jesus Christ appears with the same body as he was raised up with, and Imam Mehdi in the body with the terrestrial spirits of Prophet Mohammad), such an individual is hell-bound in the similitude of Balyim Ba’our, and he is as rejected by God as Iblis (the Devil) was. On the contrary, if an individual lives all his life like a dog, but in the end, he happens to support and love Imam Mehdi and Jesus Christ, such an individual shall enter paradise in the similitude of Qatmir.

Some of the religions and sects say, ‘Jesus had died, and his tomb is situated in Afghanistan.’ This is a misleading propaganda. The tomb in Afghanistan is not that of Jesus Christ, but of a Saint whose name also is Isa. In that primitive age, what could have been the purpose of burial at such a far off place? They argue, ‘How was Jesus raised to the skies?’ We say, ‘How was Adam descended on earth?’ Remember: Idrees (Enoch) still lives physically in paradise. Khidr (A mystical figure) and Ilyas (Elias) are present on earth, and they haven’t tasted death yet.

Hayat Al Amir, the grandson of Abdul Qadir Jilani, also has been living for 600 years. Abdul Qadir Jilani instructed him, ‘Do not die until you convey my salutation to Imam Mehdi.’ It is Hayat Al Amir who gave Shah Latif the title of Bari Imam. The site of his sitting place is still preserved in Bara Koh which is situated near Murree, Pakistan.

Punishment for exoteric sins is imprisonment, fine or the death penalty. Blameworthiness is the punishment for the ones on the spiritual path.

However, the punishment for the esoteric sins is severe. For those who backbite, a certain amount of virtues are transferred as a fine from their account to those affected. Greed, jealousy, stinginess and false pride efface their hard-earned virtues. Such individuals, if they possess a certain amount of God’s Light, lose it when they blaspheme and hold grudges against Prophets and Saints, just as Sheikh Sanan’s marvels and spiritual insight were confiscated due to blasphemy against Abdul Qadir Jilani.

Bayazid Bastami learnt that a man spoke ill of him. Bayazid started to pay him for this. The man accepted the money, yet he continued to speak ill of him. One day, his wife said to him, ‘Either you should stop accepting the money, or you should stop speaking ill of Bayazid Bastami.’ He started praising Bayazid Bastami. When Bayazid Bastami found out that he then praised him, he stopped his financial support. He visited Bayazid and said, ‘You paid me when I spoke badly about you, why did you stop my financial support now when I praise you?’ Bayazid said, ‘Then you were my servant, you spoke ill of me and it would burn my sins. You stopped doing it, why should I pay you now?’ The vices mentioned here relate to Nafs Al Ammara, and Iblis (the Devil) is its helper. Piety, generosity, forgiveness, patience and gratitude, humility and theophanies belong to Qalb-e-Shaheed. And the Wali-Murshid (Spiritual Master) is its guardian and helper (he helps the disciple against evil plots).

In the presence of Nafs Al Ammara, Light of Divine Words do not stay in the heart, even if one memorises the verses of the celestial book. Similitude of such an individual is that of a parrot. When Nafs turns to the Contented Self, then no impurity can stay in you. Then, your cockerel of lust becomes pure. For purification of Nafs, find a Divinely Appointed Nafs-Shikan (the Self Demolisher), and such sages are appointed by God at all times.

The exterior of the body is cleansed with water while the interior is purified with God’s Light (Noor). Without cleanliness, it is unclean and impure for only the clean body deserves the worthiness of worship. And worthiness of divine theophanies is for the clean heart only. And this is when the celestial books render guidance to the pure ones. Otherwise, the people of the books become enemies to each other. Mujaddid Alif Thani states in his book, ‘Individuals with Nafs Al Ammara are not worthy of studying the Koran.’ The beginners in spirituality must initially strive to purify themselves by means of Dhikr Allah (God’s remembrance). And the seekers who are in the final stages in spirituality are advised to study the Koran.

Mohammad said, ‘The Koran curses on some of its readers.’

Bulleh Shah said, ‘Such people enjoy the divine favours and deny it, yet to show off, they carry the Koran under their armpit.’

A worshipper perceives that he is near to God because he is awake all night worshipping God. But after worship, your prayers are for health, long life, wealth, and for the damsels and slaves of the Paradise. Ponder! Did you ever pray to God, ‘O’ God, I desire from Thee nothing but Thee’? A religious scholar perceives that he is near to God hence he thinks he has already obtained salvation. He thinks, ‘I have knowledge of the Koran in me.’ The question is why then do you declare others as hell-bound though every Muslim possesses some amount of knowledge and has memorised some of the verses of the Koran? Ponder! Who sells the divine knowledge? And who sells himself? Who backbites against the Saints? Who possesses jealousy, false pride and greed? Whose custom is it to bear one thing in the heart and something else on the tongue? Who says one thing in the morning, and denies it in the evening? Who presents the truth as falsehood, and falsehood as the truth? If you are far from these traits, then you are a Khalifa-e-Rasul (Deputy of the Prophet), and showing the back to you is a great disrespect. Meaning, an orator in appearance while the Koran in reality.

If you are afflicted with such diabolical traits, perhaps you are from among the clerics of the fourteenth century for whom the wolf said, ‘May I be counted as those who ate the Prophet Joseph.’

Utterances of His Divine Eminence Ra Gohar Shahi 

There are three parts of exoteric knowledge and one part of esoteric knowledge. 

One has to find a Moses to obtain exoteric knowledge and a Khidr to obtain esoteric knowledge from. 

The inspirational voice that one hears without the presence of Gabriel is known as Ilhaam. The knowledge that one obtains without Gabriel accompanying it, is known as Sahifa (Divine Scroll) and Hadith Qudsee (conversation with God without a medium). The knowledge conveyed through the Gabriel is known as the Koran, whether it contains exoteric knowledge or esoteric knowledge, whether you call it the Torah, the Psalms of David or the Bible. 

The religious scholars get away with their faults and errors by labelling it as politics. Faults and errors by the Saints are regarded and ignored as acts of wisdom. Faults and errors by the Prophets are not regarded as faults and errors. 

The concerned souls inside the human body gain strength with whatever type of spiritual practice they are engaged in. And those that are not engaged in any spiritual practice are dormant and senseless. And those that, through any means, have absorbed God’s name in their souls, their hobby is then constant remembrance of God (Dhikr Sultani) and Rapturous Love of God (Ishq-e-Allah). 

No wonder Iqbal said, ‘If you possess Rapturous Love of God, your kufr (ingratitude) is Islam (submission to God).’ 

Sachal Sain said, ‘Denial or submission to God becomes insignificant and nullified when one does not love God.’

Sultan Haq Bahu said, ‘The stage of belief is unaware of the station of God’s Rapturous Love.’ 

God’s mercy falls upon the land where such individuals visit or stay, and the religions they belong to or join also come under God’s shower of mercy. Baba Farid and Baba Guru Nanak are from among such Saints. Then, the Hindus and the Sikhs do not hesitate to pay homage to Baba Farid, and the Muslims and the Christians do not hesitate to pay homage to Baba Guru Nanak. 

Imam Mehdi will rejuvenate all the religions! 

Mujaddid (the revivers) emerged within Muslim Ummah in the postMohammadan era, and they revived the religion. The amendment of these Mujaddid will become ineffective after the advent of Imam Mehdi. And Imam Mehdi will rejuvenate all religions in his very own way. It is mentioned in several books that Imam Mehdi shall found a brand new religion.

Iqbal had drawn a picture of these times:

The world needs the Mehdi whose vision will shake the foundation of Universal Thoughts. The hidden secrets are to reveal for the era of the hadith-phrase ‘You cannot see me’ has gone past. Whoever’s personal identity of the Self becomes known first, is the Awaited Imam Mehdi. Open my eyes in the mirror of comprehension, and see for yourself the vague picture of the future.

Look at the sky, the earth, the space, and the rising Sun from the east. 

O’ Giver of the wine, the era when the drinkers would hide and drink is history now. The entire world will be a tavern one day, and every soul on earth a drinker. 

The time for unveiling is nigh, seeing the divine splendour will be common. The secret that silence kept veiled will soon manifest now. 

Emerging from the desert, who toppled up the Roman Empire, I heard angels saying that the lion will be in action again. 

None of the celestial books or Saheefah (random inspiration from God) is God’s Religion. These books direct the followers to adopt Salat, fasting and growing a beard, whereas God is carefree of such restraints. These religions were established to enlighten and purify the nations of the Prophets; whereas, God Himself is the purest form of Light. When a man, after union with God, becomes Light, then he too enters the Religion of God. God’s Religion is His love and affection. It is the translation and definition of His ninety-nine names. God is one who makes mention of His Friends. God, Himself is Love, Lover and Beloved. Should God grant a man a portion from the attributes mentioned above, then he too enters the Religion of God. Then, seeing God is his worship (Salat), and the remembrance of God is his longing. The seeing of God provides atonement for his missed obligatory and non-obligatory rituals. Then, not even the collective worship of the Jinns, the angels and the entire human race can reach his spiritual level. 

For such a person Abdul Qadir Jilani said, ‘Worship or its intent after one has acquired union with God is a grave ingratitude to the divine bounty.’ 

Bulleh Shah said, ‘Since we adopted the worship of Ishq, we became forgetful of mosques and temples.’ 

Iqbal said, ‘A naive clergyman may not be aware of such a delightful divine bounty.’ With reference to this secretive doctrine did Abu Hurera say, ‘Mohammad granted to me knowledge of two types, I told you of one of the types, you would kill me if I told you the other.’ 

The history bears witness to the fact that whoever revealed this knowledge was killed as Shah Mansoor and Sarmad were. And today, even Gohar Shahi, due to His revealing of this knowledge, is threatened with similar consequences. 

The Prophets abide by the Sharia law to become a model for the Ummah (nation), so that they may imitate and follow. Otherwise, they do not need to worship. They have the rank of Prophet-hood since primordial time, long before the existence of the Sharia law. Since they have to perfect the religion as a model, if the Prophets miss out any of the rituals, or if they adopt an act, their nation imitates them. Hence they have to remain careful and sober. Can anyone be justified to say that a Prophet will enter the hellfire if he does not worship? Not at all! Can anyone be justified to say that one cannot be a Prophet if he does not worship? Can anyone claim that one cannot become a Prophet if he does not learn the knowledge? Why are the Saints made subject to objections? Note that Sainthood is a substitute to Prophet-hood. 

Remember well: those that claimed to possess unification and union with God without seeing God, or perceived themselves to be worthy of this status and pretended to be as such are heretics and deniers of the truth. Verily! The Koran curses such liars who deny the truth. Due to them, thousands of believers lose their faith and happen to waste their valuable time. 

This book is worthy of research and consideration for all religions, sects and all humanity, and is a live challenge to those who refute spirituality.

Religion of Souls 

Recognition of the followers of Deen-e-Ilahi, ‘The Religion of God’ 

Into which all the rivers merge is known as an ocean, and into which all the religions merge is the Religion of God. 

‘This is the divine avenue where all four religions intermingle.’ (Sultan Haq Bahu) The Elementary Stage of Recognition When both the heart and the soul are revived with God’s remembrance, whether it is through performance of worship or through the merciful sight of the Spiritual Guide, in both cases, it is predestined. The seeker begins to disapprove of sins and if a sin is committed, he feels blameworthy and makes efforts to avoid it in the future. 

God says, ‘I like those individuals also who exert themselves to refrain from sins.’ 

Love of the world starts to leave off the heart, and God’s love starts to prevail. The seeker begins to feel he is getting rid of greed, jealousy, stinginess and false pride. The tongue quits backbiting. The seeker observes humility in him. Stinginess is replaced by generosity, and the lies leave off. Prohibited carnal desires are replaced by lawful ones. The seeker begins to disapprove of unlawful wealth, prohibited provision and actions. 

The Ultimate Stage of Recognition 

One completely quits hashish, opium, heroin, tobacco and alcohol. One meets highly spiritual dignitaries in dreams, meditation and through spiritual insight. Nafs Al Ammara (the Commanding Self) turns into Nafs Mutma’inna (the Divinely Content Self). The Ana enters in a private audience with God. All the veils between God and the man are lifted. One shuns the sins. One obtains the ultimate station in God’s love and union with Him. He turns into a Provider from being a simple man. Since souls of the elite from different religions would join this Spiritual League, as they had already affirmed the declaration of faith before God on the primordial day, and God had witnessed it; therefore, affiliation with a religion would not be a problem (and anyone from any religion would be able to join it). All would be allowed to worship according to their respective religions. However, their hearts would bear the same name of God. In short, they would be united in hearts regardless of their religious background. They will become Godly when they will have God in their hearts. Subsequent to this, God may either confine somebody to Himself or send anybody as a guide in any religion. There will be different categories for them: Mufeed (useful to render guidance), Munfarid (good for himself), Soldiers, Commanders. The supporters and helpers from the category of sinners also will reach some kind of rank. Many of those (Muslims or non-Muslims) who failed to join this League of Mehdi would join the Anti-Christ (Dajjal). In the end, there will be a bloody war between the forces of Imam Mehdi and the Anti-Christ. Followers of Jesus Christ, Imam Mehdi and Kalki Avatar will be united and will defeat the Anti-Christ. The majority of the followers of the Anti-Christ will be killed, and their survivors will live in fear and helplessness quietly. Imam Mehdi and Jesus Christ will reign over the hearts of humanity. Peace will prevail in the entire world. All the religions will perish, and a new religion will emerge. That will be God’s favourite religion, ‘Ishq-e-Allah’ (God’s rapturous love)—the gist of all religions established by the Prophets and their celestial books, acceptable to the entire humankind, superior to all forms of worship, even greater than God’s love.

In the End Times 

In the end, God will send forth one of the above mentioned souls. He will find and unite them together. And He will remind them that they also once loved God. All such souls whether or not they are religious will attend to his call, and flock around Him. He will grant them a unique name of God, which will pass through their hearts and settle in their souls. The souls will constantly engage with the repetition of that name (the soul will become a permanent Dhakir). The unique name of God will confer on them a brand new enthusiasm, a new power and a new definition of love. The Noor (Divine Energy) of the unique name of God will reconnect the soul with God. 

Dhikr Qalb serves like an intermediary ladder to obtaining Dhikr Rouh (invocation of the soul), just as the rituals of Salat (a form of worship) and fasting are means of obtaining the invocation of the heart. If the soul of an individual has learnt to invoke God, he is among those who shall have no fear of accountability and the Divine Scale on the Day of Judgement. The advanced stages of invocation and worship of soul confirm his elevated rank. Individuals that are progressing in spirituality from the heart towards the soul are among those who have entered the Religion of God or are about to enter it. Their means of guidance is God’s Light, not the books. God’s Light, itself, keeps them away from committing sins. And those who, even by striving or by learning about it, are deprived of this spiritual status, are not included in this Spiritual League. Heretics are those that, without invocation of the heart and the soul, consider themselves among those in this Spiritual League or imitate them. The means of salvation for common folks is worship and religion. The means of guidance are the celestial books. The means of intercession are through the Prophets and the Saints. Many Muslims do not accept the fact that the Saints can provide people with intercession to God. However, Prophet Mohammad advised his companions to request Owais Qarni to provide his Ummah (following) with intercession to God.

The Word ‘Allah’

God communicates with the angels in Suryani which is spoken in the celestial spheres. Adam spoke the same language while he was in paradise. When Adam (Safi Allah) and Eve descended on Earth, they resided in the Arab region. This language, as their progeny spread in the world, through Arabic, Persian and Latin, reached English through literal evolution. People called God with different names in different languages. Adam resided in the Arab region; therefore so many Suryani words are still present in the Arabic language. Adam was known as Adam Safi Allah (the word ‘Safi Allah’ is from Suryani), Noah was called as Nouh Nabi Allah, Abraham was called as Ibrahim Khalil Allah, then Moses as Musa Kalim Allah, Jesus as Isa Rouh Allah, and Mohammad as Mohammad Rasul Allah. All these phrases (mottos) were already written on the Preserved Scripturum in the Suryani language prior to the arrival of these Prophets in the world. This is why Mohammad said that he had already been a Prophet before his arrival in this world.

Some people perceive, the word ‘Allah’ is a Muslim name for God. This is not true. Mohammad’s father’s name was Abd Allah, which predates Islam.

The word ‘Allah’, even before Islam, has been used in mottos of all Prophets. After their creation, the first word the souls uttered was ‘Allah’. Adam’s soul also uttered, ‘Ya Allah’ before it entered his body. Some religions understand the truth behind this secret; therefore, they do not hesitate to use the word ‘Allah’ for God’s remembrance. Some others deprive themselves of the grace of the word ‘Allah’ due to doubts and reservations to its truthfulness.

Any name alluding to God is worthy of respect, and it directs one towards God.

FUNCTIONS OF SUBTLETIES IN THE HUMAN BODY

Subtlety of Akhfah (the Obscure): It enables the man to speak; without it, the man is mute (lacking the faculty of speech by birth) even with a sound tongue. The difference between man and animal is on account of these subtleties. If the subtlety of Akhfah does not enter the body at the time of birth for any reason, bringing it in the body was the duty of the concerned Messenger. Then, the mute would begin to speak.

Subtlety of Sirri (the Secret): It enables man to see. In case this subtlety is absent in man at the time of birth, he is confirmed blind. Bringing it into the body was the duty of the concerned Grand Messenger. The sight, then, is restored to the blind men also.

The Subtlety of Qalb (the Heart): If this is absent in the body, similitude of the man is like that of an animal; unacquainted with God, and distant from Him. He lacks sentiments and hunger for God. The task of bringing it back into the body was assigned to the concerned Grand Messengers only. Later, the wonders and miracles of the Prophets in form of saintly marvels were granted to the Saints also. As the missing subtlety is returned to the body through a Prophet or a Saint, even the deaf, the mute and blind are healed.

The Subtlety of Ana: The man is mentally impaired due to its absence in the body, even if the nerves of the brain seem to function normally.

The Subtlety of Khafi (the Arcane): Its absence in the body leaves the man deaf, even if all the ear holes are opened wide. Physical flaw also shows a similar syndrome; in which case, it is curable. However, medical help does not serve the purpose in case the concerned subtleties are absent in the body, unless a Prophet or a Saint extends his help.

The Subtlety of Nafs (the Self): Through Nafs the human heart is inclined towards the world and its contents; whereas the subtlety of Qalb steers the man towards God.

The Subtlety of Ana 

It is located in the head, and is colourless. Dhikr (Remembrance) of ‘Ya Hu’ is its culmination. It, having gained spiritual strength, reaches and sees God unveiled, and manages to speak with God. This is the station of Divine Lovers. Besides this, some of God’s Favourites are also conferred on them other special divine spirits such as Tifle-e-Noori (Spirit of God’s Light) and Jussa-e-Tawfeeq-e-Ilahi (Spirit of God). Understanding such elites is beyond the power of intellect. 

Through the subtlety of Ana, God can be seen in dreams. Through the Jussa-e-Tawfeeq-e-Illahi (Divine Sub-spirit), God can be seen in Transcendental Meditation (Muraqibah). And those that possess Tifl-e-Noori (God’s image gifted to the elite of the elite, which are only seven in total, and they are known as Sultan al Fuqra) see God in the state of consciousness. 

The world knows them as ‘The Might of God’. They may, on their accord, convey anyone to the Maqam Mehmood (the Station of Praise and Glory) either through worship, austerities, or through their merciful glance. Believer or disbeliever, dead or alive, matters not in their eyes. Just as a thief became a Saint with a single merciful glance of Abdul Qadir Jilani. Abu Bakar Hawari and Mangha Daku also became Saints following a glance from such elites. 

All five of the Grand Messengers were, categorically, given knowledge pertaining to the subtlety they belong to, hence, spirituality continued to grow in strength and quality. Whichever subtlety you will revive and engage with God’s remembrance, you will deserve to obtain grace of the concerned Grand Messenger, and will be connected with him. Whichever subtlety comes under the theophanies of God, you will be granted Sainthood concerning that particular subtlety. Access to the seven realms and acquisition of different grades in the seven paradises are also through the subtleties of the breast.

[qalb-thehiddenspirit]

The Subtlety of Qalb

The Prophet-hood and the knowledge concerning Qalb was granted to Adam Safi Allah

The fleshy heart is known as ‘Dil’ in Urdu, and ‘Fawwad’ in Arabic. The spiritual faculty clung to the physical heart is known as Qalb. The Prophethood and knowledge pertaining to the faculty of Qalb was granted to Adam. According to a Prophetic Tradition, ‘The heart is different from the faculty of Qalb.’ This phenomenal world is known as Nasut (the Terrestrial Realm). Besides this, there are other realms also such as Malakut (the Realm of Angels), Ankabut (the Realm of God’s Throne), Jabrut (the Realm of Souls, ‘Station of Gabriel’), Lahut (the Realm of Nothingness), Wahdat (the Realm of Divine Unity) and Ahdiyat (the Realm of Divine Oneness). These realms and the creatures thereof pre-existed the explosion of the spheroid of fire in the Terrestrial Realm of Nasut. The angels and the souls were created simultaneously, however, the archangels and the subtleties of the breast (Lata’if) already existed in these realms. Subsequently, creatures inhabited many planets in the Realm of Nasut. Some of the planets have been annihilated, and the rest await their end. The archangels and the subtleties of the breast were created seventy thousand years prior to the Command, ‘Be’ of the souls. Qalb was kept within the Place of Love, and through Qalb man is supposed to be connected with God. Similitude of Qalb is like that of the telephone operator between man and God. Man receives the divine reason and revelation through Qalb. Footnote: a Dalil (the divine argument/reason) is always accompanied by Ilhaam (inspiration). Ilhaam is not authentic if it is not accompanied by a Dalil. The worship of all the subtleties of the breast (Lata’if) reaches the empyrean of God (Arsh-e-Bala) through Qalb. However, Qalb does not have access beyond the Realm of Malakut. Its destination is Khuld. Its mode of worship, and its method of saying the rosary both lie within the human anatomy. Those that earned paradise but were unaware of this inner worship would regret it in the paradise, because God says, ‘Do they perceive that God would equal them with the pious ones?’ Because those The Religion of God (Divine Love) 9 with the enlightened Qalb would continue to remember in the paradise.

Footnote: Khuld is the lowest grade of the paradise.

Worship of the body ends after demise. The unenlightened subtleties of the breast including the Qalb would either stay weak or decay in the graves. The enlightened and powerful ones would enter the place of Il’liyeen. Subsequent to the Day of Judgement, new bodies will be given to all; these subtleties along with the human soul will be placed in the bodies of Immortal Saints (who saw God in the phenomenal world). Those who managed to revive their subtleties and remembered God in this world, would remember God in the hereafter also; consequently, their level and ranks would be constantly promoted. Those whose hearts were blind here, they would remain blind in the hereafter also. This phenomenal world is the place of practice for deeds and actions. So, they would become stagnant in terms of performance of good deeds. The Christians, the Jews and the Hindus also are aware of the subtleties. The Hindu term for the subtleties is ‘Shaktiyaan-Indaryaan’, and the Muslim term for them is ‘Lata’if’. Qalb is located on the left of the heart two inches away, and its colour is yellow. Consequent to its revival, man begins to observe and feel yellowish light in the eyes. Some spiritual mentors also heal people with colours. Most people regard the counselling of their heart to be truthful. The Qalb of a common man is senseless (Snobar). Its counselling may be influenced by its naivety, the Whisperer (Khannas) or the Self (Nafs), therefore, it may err in judgement. Reliance on a Qalb-e-Snobar (Senseless Heart) is folly. When the heart is revived with God’s remembrance, it begins to differentiate between good and bad, and gains sensibility. This is known as Qalb-e-Saleem (the Secured Heart). Due to the abundance of God’s remembrance, it is turned and directed towards God. This is known as Qalb-e-Muneeb (the Heart Turned to God). It is able to prevent the man from the committance of vice, however, it still lacks the power of correct decision. It turns to Qalb-e-Shaheed (the Witnessing Heart) when God’s Light begins to fall upon it. A Prophetic Tradition relates, ‘Divine Merciful Sight descends upon broken hearts and broken graves.’ At this moment, undoubtedly, submit to whatever comes from the heart, as theophanies turn Nafs also into Mutma’inna (the Divinely Content Self). God is then closer to him than his jugular vein. At this stage, God then declares, ‘I become his tongue, with which he speaks, and I become his hands with which he holds.’

Roots of Man in the World

After death, the celestial souls return to the paradise. Celestial souls are assigned to one particular body; whereas, the terrestrial spirits including the Nafs are left behind in this world. The terrestrial spirits, after death, are transferred into another newly born human body; they continue to be reallocated to different human beings. The terrestrial spirits are exempt from the Day of Judgement and accountability. The cleansed spirits of the Nafs stay in the graves to continue to worship God, and also facilitate humanity with spiritual grace. As Prophet Mohammad, on the Night of Ascension, passed by the grave of Prophet Moses, he saw him engaged in worship in his grave. When Prophet Mohammad reached the celestial sphere, he saw Prophet Moses was present there too. The dominant Nafs of ‘sinners’ join the groups of Satans for their survival. They enter the bodies of human beings to harm them. Such subtleties of the Nafs are thus known as evil spirits.

According to the Bible, Jesus used to cast out evil spirits from those who were possessed. After death, the terrestrial spirits and the Nafs remain in this world, the human soul enters either in Il’liyeen or Sij’jeen and the Lata’if (the faculties of the human breast), provided they are enlightened, too go to Il’liyeen; otherwise Lata’if are wasted in the grave. Due to the Nafs, man became impure.

Bulleh Shah said, ‘The Self (Nafs) brought along with it impurities in me. Otherwise, I had not been impure originally.’

For acquisition of the Self-mortification, the celestial books were revealed and the Prophets and the Saints were sent. The Self was made subject to fear of hellfire, and was incited with the pleasure of the paradise. Efforts were made through austerities, worship, and lent, so as to tame it; the successful contenders became deserving claimants of the paradise. The elite, however, were able to purify the Self by virtue of mystical knowledge, thus becoming God’s Friends.
