Every single thing that exists in this Universe is Allah's creation. Man and his actions are all Maklook. Man is distinguished amongst other creations. All other creation is for Mankind's khidmaat. Man is Makhdoom.

Allah blessed every creation with Nutkh, the ability to speak and communicate. Allah tells us in the Qur'an that everything does namaz and zikr but Man cannot understand them.

Sulayman alayhis salaam spoke with mountains, insects, birds...
Stones said salaam to Beloved Rasoolallah (s) and trees prostrated before him.

So we see that everything has Nutkh, expression and speech which Allah has blessed them with. But the most beautiful and eloquent speech, Allah gave to man. The speaker and the speech is His makhlook.

Ibn e Arabi (ra) says Haq is only haq when you speak the Truth. What is better in Allah's Eyes is surely better for Mankind.

Man has been granted exclusive (taufeeqi) decision making power. No other creation has this power. They have (takveeni) limitations. Man can speak the truth, tell lies, say half truths, speak deceptively, speak for other people's benefit, speak to guide others, speak to confuse others, speak to bewilder others, speak to worry others etc etc.

This decision power will end with Man's worldly life. Everyone will be presented before Rabb taala. Those who chose Haq will be rewarded and those that chose Ghayr e Haq will face His wrath.

Ibn e Arabi (ra) says we should realise our lofty state (martaba) and live in accordance with Allah's set boundaries. For example He has ordered us to earn halal money. If we do that we will be successful. We should relinquish all our ill desires. We must leave our wishes and adopt Allah's wishes.

Ambiya alayhis salaam and foremost Beloved Rasoolallah (s) have delivered to us the boundaries that Rabb taala has set for us. They have delivered to us Allah's amanat, wahi, ayats, mansha, shariat and tariqat. Ambiya's haqayaat, talkinaat, naseehatain, irshaadaat and farmudaat help us determine our boundaries. We know our limits on how to eat, dress, use authority, worship, behave etc etc.

If Man decides to adopt Haq in his life he has to follow Beloved Rasoolallah (s). By doing this Man will be on the straight path. If not, Man will get lost in the chaos of this World.

May Allah keep us steadfast on the right path.
Ameen.

By Prof Zaid Gul Khattak

Where are the people of Aql? Moula Ali (as) says, Aql is Noor. It helps you see in its light.

There is an incident i would like to mention here. Once, a non believer came and was told by the Meccans not to listen to the magician who was converting people and making them disbelief their forefathers religion. The man stuffed his ears with some clothe. But when he saw Beloved Rasoolallah's (s) shinning face, and saw him being kind to poor people and feeding the needy, he rejected that advice and went up to him to connect to him and forego his previous beliefs.

Hood (as) asks, Where are the people of Aql, of understanding, of intelligence? Who can get enlightened and see the truth and form a nisbat with their creator.

People should gather around Beloved Rasoolallah (s) so that they may be blessed with Saadat.

Hood (as) said, you have wasted your Nasab. I delivered Allah's message to you, but you did not pay any heed. You did not follow. So you wasted the chance to connect to you Rabb taala. I on the other hand  have completed my duty of delivering you His message and have thus strengthened and beautified my connection with Rabb taala. Earlier I had Marifat but later on it reached new heights. I tried my level best to enlighten you and spark the johar within you, which has the capacity and capability to recognise Haq, the truth. But all of you were too arrogant to listen to me and you wasted your chance.
