SOME QUESTION/ANSWERS IN LIGHT OF SUFISM:-
Shariyat is Dress, Tariqat is Body, Hagiqat is Soul and Mari’fat is Truth of Dhat.Shariyat means Act of praying, Tarigat means Discussion(TARQ) with Self, Haqiqat means Union and Mari‘fat means Wonder(KAMAL).Shariyat is submission, Tarigat is disassociating from another,Hagiqat is being faithful with Friend & Mari’fat is caution against Lower Self. That is why Prophet Mohammad said, “Shariyat is what I have said, Tarigat is what | did,Hagiqat is my State & Mari‘fat is my Secret”
Dictionary meaning of Sulook is Walking on a Path & in language of Sufis it means transition between the different states & it is also called “Sair Il-Allah”.Salik means the one who walks on the path of Sufism or Tasawwuf.
To purify oneself from animal instincts and bad habits and developing good habits, good qualities & humanity.
: Iman does not means any kind of belief or certainty, instead it means accepting by tongue, proving by Heart and after that practicing it collectively, is called Iman(Faith).And it should be noted here that proving means the after-experience of the Experience gained.Islam means leaving oneself with Allah’s will & well wishing & establishing Peace. This is what Prophet Mohammad(PBUH), Hazrat Ali(KWK) and all Sufis did in their lifetimes. Muslaman means whose Faith is concrete & collective.
According to common man Jannat and Dozakh are the same that has been explained by Islamic translators of Quran for whom Janab Abdul Hakeem stated in Higmat-E-Rumi,
“To believe in any place or word without knowing its Reality is not Wisdom.” In Sufism, Jannat means attaining proximity to Allah(S.W.T.) and ending of all Veils and getting away,living in Veils and Confusion from Allah(S.W.T) is Dozakh.
It is like committing a Secret Infidelity(Shirk).As Kalaam-E-Allah says,” Wama Mushreku Be Ebadatah Rabbh Ahdan” means,
“Do not include anyone in Worshipping your Lord”. Hazrat Rabia Basri(Q.S.A.) use to make a Dua, “Oh Lord! If I worship you in Greed of Paradise then prohibit me from entering it & if I worship out of Fear of your Hellfire, cast me into it. But if I am worshipping You for the sake of your Noble face, do not prohibit me from Seeing You. Aameen!”
: In Shariyat these are as they have been told but in Tarigat Wuzu(Purification) means to make one’s Heart cleansed from everything that is other than Allah. Gusl(Bathing) means removing Duality and seeing Oneness. In view of Tariqat to reach the Reality and purpose of practices is Target(Murad). Tauba(Repentance) means Tauba-E-Mustagaham (Unshakable Repentance) on which Sarkar Khwaja Qutubud din Ba-lkhtiyar Kaki(Q.S.A) has written at lengths in his book Daleel-Ul-Arifeen.

Dear Friends, it is compulsory on every Human to sit in Solitude listening to Heart should ponder over questions like: Who Am I? Who is Allah? What is this World?.In some days it will be proved that I am not this Body because when | was not this
body I was present & when this face and Body will not remain I will be present. Likewise ponder over Who Am |?What Am 1? Who was I? .If you ponder like this you will find Allah within You.
“Wherever You are | am There”. Kalaam-E-Allah
To reach the Theory of Oneness (Wahdat-Ul-Wujood) and to be free from cage of Self & Duality.
A special Benevolence or a Special Blessing.
Sufism is that Secret that cannot be defined in writing or talking. Like you taste something delicious you cannot describe the Taste no matter how hard you try. Anyone other’s tongue will not feel the taste .For that taste that Delicious thing has to be eaten.
“Life’s taste is not there in Dry Talks O Shaykh,
Drinking will only give the pleasure of drinking.”
Like this the Perfect Master(Pir-E-Kamil) makes the Disciple(Mureed) walk on the Path of Sufism and what secrets are exchanged between him & Allah(S.W.T) that is called Sufism or Fagqiri. No One knows such a Sufi or Fagir except Allah(S.W.T).
My Friends are in my Dress and no one knows them except me”
Hadees-E-Qudsi
Remember: ” FAQIRI IS DIFFERENT THING , BEGGING IS DIFFERENT “
TEACHINGS OF MARKAZE TASAWWUF
Worshipping means Knowing one’s Self Purpose of it is to cleanse one’s Heart from impurities like Hate, Malice, Avarice, Comparisons, backbiting, ill will and all bad things. If by Worshipping all these bad things are not cleansed from Heart that means Worship has not been performed as the way it should have been. If Heart is not cleansed of all impurities then the end result i.e. KNOWING ALLAH(Mari’fat-E-llahi) will not be attained.
According to another Arif(Knower of Allah),”Every Act & way To Know the Reality of Truth is Worshiping(lbadat).” developing good habits, good qualities & humanity.
People are of three types: Highly Selected, selected and common people & everyone has a different worship
Hadees:- “Worship Allah in such a way as if you are seeing Him. If that is not possible then as if He is seeing you.”
- In this Hadees the states of two persons have been defined: Highly Selected and Selected because a Man is not free from two states Either he sees Allah or not. If he does see Allah that means he has attained Spiritual Ascension(Meraj) and it is also called Mushaida. And if he does worships as if Allah is seeing him and in thoughts pay attention towards him. This is called Marakba.First category is Highly selected (Mushaida) and second is selected(Marakba).
- Third type of worshipers are those who neither see Allah nor in prayer he has a thought that Allah is seeing him,so under influence of customs and practices he makes a IMAGINARY ALLAH and bows in his direction under Self-Hypnotism. Most of people in Namaz do not have any Idea even what they are doing. His Namaz is only confined to merely an Exercise under his own Self-Hypnotism. Though Shariyat has not rejected such people from Islam-but the result of worship of such people is mere oral nonsense.Such people have a dead heart.
Hadees: Heart of a Momin(Faithful) knows Mushaida and he is Alive,and the one whose Heart is unknown to Mushaida is Dead.”
- An intelligent Man now should ask himself to which category he fall in???
- Remember: ” FAQIRI IS DIFFERENT THING BEGGING IS DIFFERENT”
REQUEST
- That means Kalaam-E-Allah expects from us that we Ponder, concentrate and work with our common sense. But it’s tragic that we have made customs & practices a path to know Allah. Some people are even destroying the reality of Islam in the name of success of Islam. Now it becomes a duty on all of us to:
- We read or listen to translation of Kalaam-E-Allah with extreme alertness and understand it.
- Read listen and understand the genuine Hadees and after that try to do what Real Islam wants us to fulfill.
- Attain Knowledge. Practice the Inner Knowledge of Prophet Mohammmad(PBUH) with sincerity.
- Without knowing do not Believe anything. Believing anything after knowing it is real Belief and that is the Soul of Faith(Iman).
- In MARKAZE TASAWWUF at Dargah Hazrat Khwaja Qutubuddin Ba-lkhtiyar Kaki(Q.S.A) on every Thursday evening the Niyaz,Khatam Sharif, Sufi Discourses and Langar is organised and all people who want to know Sufism are openly invited.
