Ibn e Arabi (ra) says Real Maratib (status) is what is determined according to Qur'anic ilm. For example the first few lines of Surah Baqarah mention the Mutaqeen. It means that Aqeeleen are those who gain Hidayah from the Qur'an. If we consider anyone Aqalmand, we must see, has he obtained Hidayah from the Qur'an? If he has, only then can he be considered Aqalmand.

Qur'an mentions Sabireen. Mutaqaleen. Saeymeen. Saeymaat. Muslaymeen. Muslaymaat. Momayneen. Momaynaat. Mohsayneen. Mohsaynaat. Thus we see that Ilmillah has different status. Ilmillah is also ilm e Rasool (s) because Allah says my Nabi (s) doesn't even speak from his own desires. It is his tongue but Allah's words.

Therefore whoever follows Beloved Rasoolallah (s) follows Allah.

Ibn e Arabi (ra) says Status Martaba is in direct accordance with Marifat, in front of Allah, Rasoolallah (s), in Akhibat and in Spirituality Ruhaniyat.

The Ainiyat of these Maratib on the day of Rueeyat will be disclosed. Rueeyat is Allah's deedar, which is in Batin.

A salik seeker does Mujahida, Muraqaba and eventually Mushahida. Mushahida is to see Rabb's Husn in your Batin. This is not possible in Khaarij. Only in Batin.

The second possibility is if a person reaches Allah in the Afterlife as a reward deserving person. These are the ones that will have radiant and shinning faces on that day and they will be looking towards their Rabb.

The deedar in the Hereafter will not be restricted nor limited in any way. There will be continuous tajilliyat of Rabb taala for our deedar. And every tajali will have no boundaries. No limitations. This is deedar e aam, deedar e baseet, deedar e vaseeh, deedar e la-mehdood. And it will have no end. Allahu Akbar!

So Ibn e Arabi (ra) explained to us that maratib is not according to worldly possessions like house, cars, plots, factories, businesses, shops etc and nor positions like Ceo, Pm, Cm, Coas, Governor etc but in accordance with Allah's Marifat and the persons status in the Hereafter. Allah bestows worldly materialism to many atheists and evil people also. This is certainly not their martaba status. These are 2 very separate things.

Material things are given by Allah without even asking Him. However, we humans have taufeeqi ikhtiyar and Allah wishes that we select, choose and desire and ask Allah for Hidayat and other spiritual gifts like Marifat. This is Maratib ka Sarmadi Tayyun.

In this path, sayr ilallah, the one who attains martiba here, this is the Real Martiba.

O seeker! Adhere to and be faithful to all your promises that you gave Allah in Alam e Misaak. And forego and shun everything that goes against your promises to Allah. Those who are loyal to their promise shall be granted a high and glorious martiba. This path is Irfani and Sarmadi. It is the path Allah and His Beloved Rasool (s) have desired for you. The one who chooses this path full of Light Nur, will be the one who gets khair on Earth, in Barzakh, on the Day of Judgment and in the Hereafter.
