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.
The person who attains Marifat in his Nafs develops a relationship of Love with Allah Almighty and His Ism o Siffaat. He is drowned in beauty and fragrance. This also results in loving relationships with all of Allah's creations. He recognises that Alam is Khadim to him and he is Makhdoom because he is Allah's Khalifa. And his aim is to continuously strive to please Allah and gain His Love, Qurb and Marifat. If any person achieves this, he has achieved his purpose.
Everything belongs in Allah so keep all your nisbat for Him. Focus on Allah and your relationship with Him. Prioritise Allah.
It is Allah who gives you a family, then gives you health to provide for them, then gives you talent to work and earn provisions for them. Without his Taufeeq and His Guidance and His Help, no one can attain anything. All success is because of Allah. All credit belongs to Allah. All success is hidden in Rasoolallah's (s) Love.
So Allah knows everything's end and eventuality. Al Akhir has Knowledge of all Zahir and Batin because He knows everyone's Nafs. Nafs is for Marifat. So if the person stays on the right path, following beloved Rasoolallah (s) and the Ambiya (as), then Allah is pleased with them. Allah is Aware of everything.
If someone is in the wrong but prays for Hidayat, Allah gives them Hidayat. But if someone is happy to be on the devils path, this Displeases Him very much. This is the Halakat of one's own Nafs.
Our Nisbat and Taaluq with Allah taala is that He is Rahim we are His Marhom. He is Razzak we are His Marzuk. He is Ghafoor we are His Maghfur He is Khaliq we are His Makhlooq.
All creation is khaadim to Mankind and we have been given the task to seek His Qurb and attain Marifat.
When a person eats. The food is provided by Al Razzak. The food gives the person strength and energy. When he uses those energies to work hard and earn halal money for his family, this is Zahiri. A positive role in the Zahir takes the person to Shariyat. And when that person uses those energies to then stand at night and glorify his Lord with praise and nawafil, this is Batini, and will take him to Tariqat. So we see, that the risk provided by Al Razzak has enabled the person to fulfill his duties in both, the Zahir and the Batin.
Allah is the Mudabbir and Khaliq of the Alams. He has determined its systems and runs them accordingly. He operates all this through His Hikmat.
Due to this Qarb Nizaam e Tanhafuz was established. Air was created. We all breathe the Air. We inhale and exhale. This is the breathing system. We can talk and speak and do zikrallah and hamd o sana. We can send durood o salaam on beloved Rasoolallah (s). All this is possible thanks to Allah's system of breathing.
Allah did Tanafukh on Adam (as). Allah did Nafkha on Adam (as). He breathed Rooh in him. Because if the Rooh, Tanafuz ka nizaam came into place. This nizaam draws us towards the Marifat of Allah. This makes us do Allah's zikr and duaa to Him and the desire to please Him. This is how an abd and saalik can get qurb and marifat of Allah.
All that exists in the Alams is Soorat, Anwaraat, Tajalliyat, Baruzaat and Barakaat of Allah's Ism o Siffaat. Makhlooq is the Soorat of Khaliq. Risk is the Soorat of Razzak.
The High Skies are the Soorat of Rafayo. The sun and shinning stars are the Soorat of Noor. Shafi created Shifa. Mujeer created Hifazat. And so on...
Allah is Rooh ul Alameen. The Rooh and Basis and Tehreek of all the Alams. He created everything with Kun. He made Mankind Makhdoom and everything else is Khidmaat. He made beloved Rasoolallah (s) the Markaz and Mehvar of all creation. He made him Makhdoom e Ala, Azam, Anwar. He made beloved Rasoolallah (s) His Mehboob.
Allah is Badi, Khaliq, Faatir, Rafay... these Asma created grand things, the Universe, Alams and all that it contains.
Ibn e Arabi (ra) says the Biggest Shahid is Allah Himself. And those He has chosen as Shahids, like His Ambiya alayhis salaam. Beloved Rasoolallah (s) is the leader. This is His choice, His favour.
In everything that is Mashood, Zahir and Batin, Maanvi or Vajoodi - Allah is the Asal, Real Mashood. He is Asal Mashood because He is Asal Moujood. He is Haqeeqat ul Haqeeqat. He is Wajib ul Wajood. All else is Itabaar, Imkaan and Mumkinaat.
