Quote of the Day: The Best Among All...

‘A Muslim thinks he is the best, a Jew thinks he is the best and a Christian thinks he is the best. However, I say that the best among all is one who loves God the most, in spite of his indifference to any religion.’ – Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, The Religion of God (Divine Love)

Imam Mehdi Will Not Impose Islam Through Bloodshed

The following is the English transcript of Younus AlGohar's lecture 

Those who say, ‘Imam Mehdi will kill non-Muslims,’ are ignorant of the truth and the Koran.

It is a common misperception in Muslim circles that Imam Mehdi will impose Islam on the entire world. The concept of Imam Mehdi was given to Muslims through celestial scriptures, from God. Similarly, the concept of the Messiah in Judaism is also from celestial scriptures. If the Jews think the Messiah will impose Judaism and the Christians think Jesus shall impose Christianity, while Muslims think Imam Mehdi shall impose Islam; this causes a lot of confusion.

God has given the concept of an Awaited One in all celestial scriptures and if a Muslim thinks only Islam’s concept is correct, that person is not a true Muslim. Muslims are required by their religion to believe in all prophets, messengers and the four celestial scriptures.

Now the concept of Imam Mehdi is from God and the concept of the Messiah is also from God, therefore how is it possible that God will send Imam Mehdi to spread Islam and the Messiah to spread Judaism all over the world? Does God have a plan to wreak havoc and cause bloodshed? It just doesn’t make any sense.  

How can this concept exist in a Muslim’s mind that Islam will spread over the entire world when it is for Islam that Prophet Mohammad said,

‘Nothing would be left in the Koran for except customary recitation and nothing will be left in Islam for except its name.’  

When the Muslims conquered Mecca, it was known as the Golden Age of Islam. The Muslims had their own Islamic Sultanate but even in that era, Islam was confined to a piece of land, it had not spread all over the world. Later on, the Caliphs invaded countries and enforced Islam. However, I am completely against the act of invading and attacking another country in order to enforce your religion upon them. This is wrong. It is in direct violation of what the Koran says,

 ‘La iqra fiddeen’ [2:256]

This is often translated by clerics as: there is no compulsion in the religion. However, this is a misinterpretation. It actually means: do not do anything in the religion that makes you feel disgusted. How can you not feel disgusted, killing a 6-month old baby just because his parents did not accept Islam? This is against the principles of Islam and the Koran.

A Muslim would say that the era of Prophet Mohammad was the best and yet we know that even in the era of Prophet Mohammad the Islamic flag did not reign over the entire world.  

The Commencement of Eminence

Imam Mehdi shall be greater in eminence and possess more knowledge than Adam Safi Allah; how can any Muslim attribute violence and bloodshed to Imam Mehdi?  

The most important point to note is that when God was creating Adam Safi Allah, the angels objected. The angels suspected that he would again cause mischief and bloodshed. They said to God, ‘Are we not enough to glorify you and sing your praise?’ God’s argument in response was that this time he was going to give Adam the Knowledge of Eminence. [Koran 2:30]
  

Those sects in Islam who claim that Imam Mehdi will use the power of his sword to impose Islam on the entire world, I have a question for them: has Islam not always been subjected to bloodshed?

In order to eliminate bloodshed from the nature of man, God granted Adam the Knowledge of Eminence; it simply means Muslims do not know what the Knowledge of Eminence really is nor do they understand what is written in the Koran. How can it be that Imam Mehdi will possess this Knowledge of Eminence, which was given to eliminate bloodshed and at the same time he will cause bloodshed and kill all who do not accept Islam? How can good and evil coexist together?

Adam Safi Allah was given the minimum knowledge of how to generate divine light from the name of God. Imam Mehdi will not only possess the knowledge that was given to Adam, He will also possess and dispense the knowledge of how to obtain enlightenment from the sub-spirits of God (Jussa Taufeeq-e-Illahi/Tifle Noorie) and He will even dispense the knowledge with the help of which one will be able to see God (Deedar-e-Illahi) and the method by which one can come under the theophanies of God.

God has invested all his special powers and authority within Imam un Mubeen [Koran 36:12].

Imam un Mubeen (The Elusive Imam) means the one who does not have to be searched for; His grandeur and majesty is such that it speaks for itself. People will be humbled before him and compelled to believe that only He can be the Imam un Mubeen. Those who still maintain to reject Him, despite seeing all the signs, are those whose eyes are blind and heart is blind.  

There are 27 Haroof-e-Mukatiyat (The Disjointed Letters). All prophets and messengers together only brought down the knowledge of 2 letters and Imam Mehdi shall bring down the remaining 25. How much knowledge that must be! Adam’s eminent knowledge was merely a pinch of knowledge compared to the knowledge Imam Mehdi shall dispense. Imam Mehdi is dispensing the secretive knowledge of God (Ilm-e-Ladduni).

Those who think Imam Mehdi shall pick up the sword are not only blasphemers of Imam Mehdi; they are blaspheming and rejecting the Koran, Prophet Mohammad and God. Can any cleric legitimately say that according to Islam, one who is involved in bloodshed will go to heaven? Only those are involved in bloodshed who do not possess the Knowledge of Eminence. In other words, one who is involved in bloodshed in the name of God/religion is trying to prove God wrong. Those who have obtained this Knowledge of Eminence only spread peace, love and connect people with God.  

Prophet Mohammad did participate in wars, however, not a single infidel died from his sword. In those days, the Arab mentality was such that the weapon was seen as a man’s power. According to the mentality of the people at the time, had Prophet Mohammad not held a sword, they would have seen him as a coward. However, Prophet Mohammad never killed anyone.

God sent Prophet Mohammad down as a mercy upon all mankind. [Koran 21:107]

Prophet Mohammad even said, ‘If I had used a sword, would all my teeth have broken?’ When the infidels in Ta'if sent mad dogs after the Prophet and his shoes were full of blood, Gabriel asked, 'Shall I join the two mountains so that they may be destroyed?’ Prophet Mohammad said, ‘No, I have not come to harm anyone; I have come as a blessing for all.’  

If God gave Adam the Knowledge of Eminence to eliminate bloodshed, he must have given Prophet Mohammad something even greater; so that neither Prophet Mohammad nor those who were in the physical and spiritual company of Prophet Mohammad would have the urge to cause bloodshed.

All religions allow one to hold a weapon in self-defence, provided you are being attacked by the enemy. However, there is no religion that allows you to use a weapon to enforce your religion upon others. Therefore, having this conjecture for Imam Mehdi is utterly blasphemous.

Imam Mehdi will not kill any Christian or Jew. The message of Imam Mehdi is love and the knowledge Imam Mehdi is dispensing is far greater than the Knowledge of Eminence granted to Adam Safi Allah.  

Mankind's Rise to Eminence

How extra-celestial beings changed the course of human history.

There are three periods in human history. In the religious circles, it is commonly believed that in total, God sent 124 000 different messengers and prophets. Out of them, 14 000 were only Adams. In the theosophical circles of Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - the scholars understand that there was only one Adam, but they do not know how to justify it.

The First Period: The Adams

Now we’re living in the scientific era. We never had the type of transportation that we have today in the past. We have aeroplanes, motorised boats, etc. We can now travel by sea, air and land. Everything has become so advanced and travelling has become so easy and comfortable. However, in the olden times, travelling was a nightmare.

Christopher Fernandez was a Spanish, Christian leader. He sent a man called Christopher Columbus on a journey. The idea was to discover a land where they could establish a Christian kingdom. Spain comes from the word ‘Usman’ which we call ‘Ottoman’ in English. The words ‘España (Spain)’ and ‘Hispanic’ are derived from it. Christopher Columbus was able to make a boat with an automatic motor and go far out into the sea.

He was looking for any barren land when he arrived at the soil that we call the United States of America today. The only people he bumped into there were the Native Americans. Because they had dark complexions, he thought that perhaps they were Indians, so he thought that he arrived in India. He was the first to arrive from across the Atlantic, but people still lived in America before he arrived.

If it was only one Adam who came, then it would become a mystery how the progeny of one Adam dispersed itself and scattered into so many different islands and remote places of this world. Some people live in the mountains, in igloos; their nature and culture are different.

So there was not just one Adam; 14 000 Adams were sent. Human beings have inhabited this world for millions and millions of years. For that enormously long period of time, God had only seen people who would worship him in their worship places. These people did not know anything about God’s love or the existence of celestial realms where, other than them, different types of creatures inhabit.

In terms of knowledge and understanding of the cosmos, their intelligence was zero. They couldn’t think of anybody else for except themselves. Even today, we do believe there are angels and genies, but we haven’t seen them with our naked eyes. A majority of people haven’t seen angels walking [in the world]. However, we believe it because we have been told of their existence by trustworthy individuals [that we know to be saints of God].

So for as long as the common man existed in this world, who didn’t know about divine love, God had been experimenting [with] different species of humankind. He made many different types of human beings. Sometimes, he would change the colour of their skin. Sometimes, he would change their height. However, the culture of hatred was pretty much persistent. Their hateful culture of killing each other never perished.

In the end, maybe 6500 years ago - that is pretty close in comparison to millions of years since the inhabitation of humankind on Planet Earth - God, as it has come to our knowledge, got bored with the kind of worship and culture that human beings carried for that long. Then he decided that now was the time for him to upgrade human beings in character and in spirituality.

Prophets who gave the world an insight into the future - which we normally call prophecies - these kinds of prophets were not there in the era [pre-existing the last Adam]. The first time a prophet was introduced in this world with the ability to foretell the future was only 6500 years ago.

Before that period of time, the human heart and soul were barren. There was no sign of spiritual cultivation because there was no seed of love. So they lived in complete oblivion and darkness of ignorance.

They lived in ignorance about themselves, God and the cosmos. They didn’t know anything about their surroundings or the sky; they didn’t know anything about any extra-terrestrial, celestial or extra-celestial realm.

Then, about 6500 years ago, God decided to open up a little and allow human beings to be in contact with the other side of the world for the first time in human history. That was a wonderful mark of the divine exuberance and excellence.

Whoever was able to obtain this type of knowledge and be in contact with the other side of the world must have felt very lucky and [excited]. Such people must have felt privileged because they never heard that any human being could be in contact with the other side of the world.

Then came this radicalised message: love God. Don’t forget that for many million years, nobody heard such a message. It took them by storm.

They would say, ‘You don’t even see God and you want to love him? How?’ That was the very first divine inspiration. Before this, they would only go to worship places and [pay homage to their respective forms] of God, because they didn’t know anything.

The Second Period: The Last Adam

Then the last Adam, ‘Adam the Eminent One’, came. The first thing which was almost impossible for [people] to digest spiritually was to relate to the last Adam who was created in Paradise and then descended onto Earth. He was different in nature, character and complexion from them; even the nutrients he would eat [were different]. The initial thought that crossed their minds was, ‘He came from above the skies. He must be a son of God.’

Now, when we talk about the first divinely ordained and anointed Adam, with the knowledge of eminence - the knowledge of spirituality which connects man with God - we involuntarily assume that every single person in that era of Adam was blessed with this knowledge. This is where we go wrong.

Not even in the era of Abraham was everybody blessed with his presence, love and the knowledge he was parting with. After Abraham, Moses came; he was a Grand Messenger with the divine majesty hovering around his face. [However,] not even in the era of Moses was everybody blessed with that knowledge.

Then came Jesus. Jesus is a little different in that he was only given 33 months of ministry. Do not forget: other prophets and messengers spent years and years [spreading their message]. Adam lived for 931 years, Abraham was over 125 and Moses spent a lot of time among people. Jesus’s ministry did not even last three years.

Muslims talk about the grandsons of Prophet Mohammad; they commemorate their sorrow and how brutally they were killed in Iraq. They talk about the torment they went through of thirst, hunger and fear. However, nobody - not even Christians - talks about the turmoil and hardship Jesus had to face.

Firstly, Jesus didn’t have a house, a bed or pillow. He had no building to call his home. He did not enjoy anything that belongs to this world. This was the quality of his self-imposed austerity. He used to say that he was on a divine mission and he wasn’t here to enjoy life. He did not like this life because he is immortal.

When Jesus came to this world, he would open his mouth and the breath of eternal life would [disperse]. He talked about the Kingdom of God, spiritual infusion, the Unseen World and he talked about the Father. He talked about real, rapturous love. However, there were only a few who were [ready to become] recipients. There were only a few disciples who were really close to Lord Jesus Christ. One of them was Thomas. If you study the Gospel of Thomas, you would come to know of the knowledge I talk about: the Unseen World.

He said, ‘I am the alpha and omega. I am the light of the world.’ [Revelations 1:8; John 8:12] The Koran said, ‘God is the light of the world.’ [Koran 24:35]

Tell me: is this the son of God or God himself because Jesus said what God says about himself in the Koran.

The blind would come to him; he would blow upon their faces and their eyesight would be restored. He would blow upon people who were not able to walk [and heal them]. When they were healed, they would want to pay their homage to Lord Jesus Christ. They would say, ‘You have done a favour [upon us].’ He would reply, ‘No, I haven’t done a favour yet.’

He said, ‘This is not a favour. If you were not able to see this world and now you can, this is not a favour - because you are still blind. When you see things in this world, it doesn’t benefit you. How can this be a favour? I will do to you a favour when your inner eye is open. What you will see with the inner eye is what will benefit you.’

One day, he stood in front of many different people. Some of them were the followers of the religion of Adam, some others were the followers of Abraham and some others were followers of Moses. He said to them, ‘Come to me. Adam, Moses and Abraham were not worthy.’ They didn’t like it. They took it as a blasphemy. They would ask him, ‘Who are you to say such a thing?’ His reply would be, ‘Don’t ask me. Ask the one who sent me.’

Jesus clearly said, ‘I am the only way to the Father. You only reach through the Father through me.’ [John 14:6]

What Jesus talked about was mind-boggling. In front of him were people who didn’t know who they were sitting with. They didn’t know that the person who was standing in front of them was not a man. It is a gross injustice if you know Jesus as a son of man.

A man is known by his character, not by his family lineage. Your ancestral history doesn’t reveal anything about you.

Jesus was a favour upon mankind. [However], you can count the number of people who were blessed by him. They were seven in number, who were sent by Jesus to seek asylum in caves. They fell asleep and have been there for the past 2000 years. Now they’re back with Jesus.

After Jesus came Prophet Mohammad. When Prophet Mohammad came into this world, he was equipped with the spiritual knowledge which would allow people to see God. With his help, many people were able [to reach the audience of God].

In the span of 5000 years, God was done with the exhibition of his power; he was done with the exhibition of his knowledge of eminence.

It is no wonder that he didn’t do anything for the many million years prior to [the creation of Adam the Eminent One]. When he started to reveal about himself, little by little, it only took 5000 years for him to be done. In this span of time, all the Grand Messengers had been sent. All the knowledge was sent, starting from the articulation of God’s name in the heartbeats and coming to an end with the ability to see God and enter into a physical meeting with God. That is the culmination, the peak.

Now, you shouldn’t ask God to send somebody else, because he is done! [He has nothing else to offer].

The Final Period: The Awaited Ones

When I was in Pakistan, somebody asked me, ‘Why has the image of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi has appeared on the surface of the Moon? Why not the image of Prophet Mohammad?’ I replied, ‘Why? If Prophet Mohammad’s image appeared on the Moon, what would you receive as a spiritual benefit from that image? He is not here.’ It is impossible.

Then somebody sent me a question, ‘You say that your Gohar Shahi will return to this world. Why can’t Prophet Mohammad return?’ But if Prophet Mohammad were to return, what would he do? He has already done everything he could have done.

Immigration in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia have been taken over by the US’s Homeland Security. [These countries] cannot tackle the upfront threats, so Homeland Security is taking care of their immigration. Similarly, God is done. Now the Gohar and Jesus team from the Unseen World has taken over.

First, it was Jesus who talked about the Unseen world. Then His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi came into this world and opened up the chapter [and talked about the secrets of God]. Only two dignitaries talked about the Unseen World and knowledge of the Unseen World.

So this time, when Jesus finally shows up in public, they must believe in Jesus as divine. If they don’t, they are not connected to Jesus. [Similarly, when] HDE Gohar Shahi shows up again in public, they must admit that HDE Gohar Shahi is divine.

Recognise A True Sufi In The Light Of HDE Gohar Shahi's Teachings

Younus AlGohar explains what a true Sufi is and how a true Sufi is recognised. He discusses why giving this information to the common public led many fake Sufis and religious clerics to oppose His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi. Main points: - In order to preserve a religion, you need to spiritualise it. Religion without spirituality becomes a monster. Every religion when the spiritual system within that religion was destroyed, was made subject to great violence in the name of the religion and God. God granted every messenger two types of knowledge. One is knowledge that deals with exterior cleanliness and rituals of the religion. The other knowledge is the core of religion: knowledge which awakens your soul, enlightens your heart and purifies your ego. His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi declared, ‘The exterior form of knowledge without accompanying the interior knowledge is a great mischief.’ - HDE Gohar Shahi is the super spiritual scientist. HDE Gohar Shahi doesn’t simply tell you what to do; rather, he tells you the consequences and benefits of doing something. He tells you what knowledge will benefit your souls. He is a bold critic on contemporary religious practices all over the world. - HDE Gohar Shahi explains how to recognise a true Sufi. HDE Gohar Shahi explains that only a thief will recognise a thief and in a similar way, only is a saint is spiritually capable of recognising another another saint of God. Nevertheless, HDE Gohar Shahi gives common people to criteria through which they can test to see if someone is appointed by God. All you need to do is ask your spiritual mentor to initiate your heart into spirituality (grant you Opening of the Spiritual Heart); if he can make your Spiritual Heart engage in remembrance of God, he is a true Sufi. - In countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, there are many fake Sufis who con innocent people out of their wealth. These are people who claim to be Sufis but they do not have the power to initiate anyone’s heart into spirituality; they have not purified their ego or reached any stage of enlightenment. When HDE Gohar Shahi came, he told people the criteria to recognise a true Sufi so many of these fake Sufis were exposed. His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi does not advise people to be religious, but rather spiritual. HDE Gohar Shahi’s presence and teachings caused a revolution in the minds and hearts of people; they began to recognise the fake Sufis and ignorant religious clerics for who they really were. HDE Gohar Shahi’s teachings pose a threat to all those who sell the religion and loot unsuspecting people. Therefore, the religious clerics and fake Sufis from all sects in Pakistan united in opposition of HDE Gohar Shahi. - It was not just religious clerics and fake Sufis who turned against HDE Gohar Shahi. The police, politicians, army, secret services, thieves and custom officers across Pakistan also became part of the alliance against HDE Gohar Shahi. This was because HDE Gohar Shahi was exposing the corruption in Pakistani society and inviting people to obtain enlightenment so that corruption could be eradicated. He wanted to introduce people to spiritual and moral culture. Journalism in Pakistan too became a disinformation cell against HDE Gohar Shahi. Because the common public in Pakistan had been told a great bundle of lies about HDE Gohar Shahi, we ask those who oppose HDE Gohar Shahi based on hearsay to study Him and His teachings for themselves.

Tareekh-e-Tasawwuf

Younus AlGohar explains what true Sufism is and its role in Islam. Main points: - Before the advent of Imam Mehdi, spirituality was to be found in religion. It started with Adam the Eminent One (Adam Safi Allah), the last Adam. 13 999 Adams came before Adam the Eminent One, but none of them had spiritual knowledge, therefore their souls were kept dormant and they couldn’t reach any spiritual rank. Adam the Eminent One, whose body was made with the clay of Paradise, was the first to receive spiritual knowledge. He was a Grand Messenger; there were four other Grand Messengers who came after him. - After Adam the Eminent One came Abraham, Moses, Jesus and then Prophet Mohammad. With Prophet Mohammad, prophethood and messengerhood both ended. Through Adam, the hearts of people were revived and God began to send revelation. With Abraham, knowledge of the soul was given. Moses and saints from his nation were able to speak with God. Prophet Mohammad was able to see God. - God sent these Messengers in order to cause a spiritual evolution and gradually bring human beings closer to him. However, the evolution didn’t happen. When Adam the Eminent One came, he gave people knowledge of the heart. However, by the time Abraham cam, people had forgotten the knowledge Adam introduced to them. Furthermore, the Grand Messengers didn’t emphasise on spiritual knowledge for one reason or another. - His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi explained that if you want to test your fate, then you should try to obtain Dhikr-e-Qalb (Opening of the Spiritual Heart). With the method given by His Divine Eminence, you find out who you are within seven days. If God allows his name to enter your heart, it means he is merciful upon you. - A majority of people think Sufism is separate from Islam. However, Sufism is the core of the religion. A true Sufi focuses on God’s name entering the souls, and reviving the souls with Noor (divine energy). There are two ranks in the Stage of Ehsan. People at this stage are those who see God while worshipping. To see God, you need to see him with the ethereal soul in your head, the Ana - If one is unable to see God, then it is decreed that for them to be at the Stage of Ehsan, they have to make themselves worthy of being seen by God during their worship. God does not look at the bodies or deeds, but at the hearts and the intentions therein. It is false to say that God is watching everyone. If he was, then people wouldn’t engage in bloodshed and mischief. Watch the live recordings of these lectures every day at 22:00 GMT at http://www.younusalgohar.com Can't access this video?

#AskYounusAlGohar | Jinnat Aur Ashraf-Al Makhlooqat Insaan Ki Taqat Ka Raaz

Younus AlGohar answers a question from a viewer who asked, ‘It is said that man is the most eminent of all creation. However, we see that Jinn are so powerful that they can dominate a human being and manipulate his thoughts and emotions. How then is he the most eminent?’

Main points:

- Human beings do not know their reality; they think their body is their reality. They do not know the potential of their soul, and whether or not their soul is even awakened. It is the soul that will be judged on the Day of Judgement, not the body.

- There are many types of Jinns. Some are Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Jews. Some Jinns are Companions of Prophet Mohammad, alive even today.

- Human beings think they are the best of all, but they do not know that they have to make themselves eminent with the knowledge God gave. If all men were eminent, why do they cause so much bloodshed and rape? Why did God create hell?

- The only eminent ones are those who have awakened all their souls and become the master over them. The souls in the human body, when enlightened, enable man to travel beyond this realm. With enlightened souls, he holds the keys to multiple realms. At this stage, no Jinn can dominate him; in fact they would show him great respect.

The Creation of Adam The Eminent One

The following is an excerpt of His Holiness Younus AlGohar's speech.

The purpose of creation of so many different species of Adam in the eyes of God was that they would worship God.

[An analogy to explain this is that] there is a beautiful women and she is very rich. She hires a dozen young men and she pays them for admiring her beauty. Every word of praise would earn you a pound. When every word of praise earns you a pound, you don’t want to stop. Then these men who get paid one pound for every word of praise find out that the beautiful woman is hiring somebody else and replacing them. They would really feel jealous because it is a matter of survival. They are going to be redundant soon and losing their jobs. 

When a man praises a woman by word of mouth, she starts to blush. However, that woman thought, 'It's just word of mouth. Nothing else is happening. I want somebody who can really please me with some kind of emotion and sensation. This praiseworthiness has to be physically affected and I should be the sole beneficiary of this praiseworthiness.' [For example] if I just praise you every time you come and I don't offer you a cup of tea or coffee, or I don't serve you food or anything else, that hollow praiseworthiness will become futile one day. So that beautiful woman decided to enjoy a style of praiseworthiness which could physically lure her and she could enjoy in the indulgence of that praiseworthiness. That beautiful lady wanted some kind of sensational, fruit-bearing praiseworthiness. 

And those twelve men who were earning a quid for every word of praise felt threatened. They said, 'Are we not enough to say praise of your beauty? Why are you hiring others?' This is exactly what happened when God decided to make the final species of mankind: Adam, The Most Eminent One. 

When God designed everything and conceived everything, he created a group of special angels and their duty was to just stay in front of God and praise God. That was the only task given to them. 

God likes to be praised; he wants to be praised. What do we do in mosques, churches and temples? We praise! What else do we do? You go to the church and with music, you praise. You go to the mosque or a temple, you do the same. Everybody is [praising God]. This is what it is. 

God's Creation Prior to Adam the Eminent One

When he created these special angels, the task given to them was nothing but to keep praising God. This happened when God had not conceived the idea of creating man. But then, when he was blessed with the idea of creating man, the entire divine plan went upside down. The angels lost their value.

The female damsels also lost their value. It was never part of the plan that these female damsels - which are now to be given to people who enter the paradise - would come and be delivered to men, because there was no conception of men in the mind of God. They were just maids in the divine harlem. So everybody became unhappy, even these female damsels are unhappy. But people don't know. The Quran tells us only about the objections raised by the angels on the conception of the eminent Adam. However, nobody is aware of the objections raised by the female damsels of the paradise. They said, 'You created us so that you [could] indulge in our beauty and now you decide to hand us over to men, your creation?' They were so unhappy with God. 

You would be really bemused if I tell you that first when God created some female damsels, he made them so beautiful. He thought, 'There should be something delicate and utterly beautiful. And that creation should praise me.' So he created female damsels. But he did not create those organs that you need [to physically indulge], because he never thought of it. They would just stand there and say, 'You are beautiful, most high.' That's all they would do. They were not complete. For some time, those female damsels stayed in front of God and they praised. But then another thought came into his mind, '[I want] something that can praise and physically allow me to indulge in their praiseworthiness.' And when he created another type of female damsels, those prior to this creation became redundant. They are still there. 

When I was going over that part, I heard a noise and I looked down. I saw there were some beautiful women standing there and crying. So, I stopped and said, 'Why are you crying?' They said, 'We were created to say praise of God, but we couldn't do more than that. But this is not our fault. This is how we were created. But when God was introduced with the idea of creating somebody who can not only linguistically praise but physically indulge, now he is busy with them and we are left alone. What is our fault?' 

There are so many different types of angels. He created some special angels and the purpose of these special angels was to praise God. This is when God hadn't conceived of creation of men. He would sit there and those angels would constantly praise him; he would feel ecstatic and pleased. When, finally, the thought of creating a man was introduced to his brain and he created a super human being, they objected. They asked, 'You are creating men again? Again? Having seen that mischief and bloodshed for billions of years? Are you not tired of this?' And he said, 'I am creating this Adam so that he can praise me.' And they said, 'Are we not enough for your praise?' Then he said, 'No, that's not the case; I am creating this Adam for a different style of praise and you cannot praise me the way they will. I will equip them with a different technique. If you know that technique, tell me.' They said, 'How will we know the technique when you didn't tell us?' This was the conversation between God and the angels. 

Among all of us, the best friend is one who always praises us. And those who criticise us, they are not sincere friends. This is the case with all of us. If somebody really criticise and pick up a bone with you, then you don't like them. And if you praise all the time, then you are their best friend. In a similar fashion, these angels who would praise God nonstop were the most favourite angels among all. They were number one. Now God was creating Adam and God announced he would equip him with a mysterious technique, with the help of which this Adam would rise in excellence above all these angels.

So before the creation of this last Adam, these angels were champions. They were the best and on Earth. The Devil was not the devil in the beginning; his name was Azazeel (Beelzebub). This individual, Azazeel, was the most dedicated worshipper to God. So, on Earth Azazeel was the champion and in the celestial realms, these angels were the champions. All other types of Adam which God created on Earth with the clay of this Earth had no value. This is why some religions worship angels. Man used to worship angels because man himself did not have any value.

Azazeel, who would turn into the Devil later on, was most high in servitude to God. He prostrated to God on every single corner of the world, everywhere. He was such a dedicated worshipper to God that nobody was able to compete with him in the amount of worship he offered to God. Then, God promoted Azazeel and appointed him the leader of all the angels. This is how the worshippers and those who praised God made a group.

The Conception of Adam the Eminent One in God's Mind

Now, God decided to create an Adam. This Adam was designed to rise in excellence in relation to offering servitude and worship to God. He would exceed his counterpart Azazeel in worship and this Adam would exceed the counterpart angels in their excellence. So, both parties felt really threatened. The creation of this eminent Adam was objectionable to both parties. Jealousy burns and the hearts went cold, but God didn't change his mind. He said, 'No matter what, come what may, I must create this Adam that I have conceived in my mind. I am going to equip him with an obscure technique that nobody is aware of: the technique which will work like a key and open up all the locks from their spirits and souls. And this technique will pave their way to my divine splendour. My manifestation requires a screen and I will use their hearts as a screen to my true manifestation.' 

So, God decided to use this eminent Adam as his divine mirror in which he was able to see himself. Azazeel asked God, 'You are creating him so he can worship you? And God said, 'Yes.' He said, 'But we worship you. Why do you need somebody else?' And God said, 'I want him to worship me in different styles, different ways, and many different types of worship at a time. You prostrate; some other angels just say the songs of praise and some other angels bow down. I want somebody who can do all these different type of worship at a time and single-handedly.'

They didn't know what God was talking about. So what happened? God created them and then God said, 'I say he is better than all of you. Now, upon my decree, you all show respect to him and bow before him.' Azazeel said, 'You created me with fire and you created him with clay. I am better than him and I am not going to bow before him.' He caused God to be angry and God said, 'You are rejected.' And then, Azazeel said, 'I swear by your name, from now on this Adam is my enemy.' [He said this] out of jealousy. 

Now, what is this enmity about? In Pakistan, if a woman is really, extraordinarily beautiful and other women get really jealous of her, they throw acid on her face so that she loses her beauty and nobody will praise her or be attracted to her. This is exactly what Azazeel did.

The Key to Excellence

He said, 'He is greater than me? Okay.' 

So he found out the secret of greatness, why this Adam was going to be great: the enlightenment of the soul and spirit, purification and purgation of the soul. The moment he found out that this is the key, he decided that he would keep men away from this technique.

As a result of this failure to acquire this technique and this key, they would not be greater than him. He is not bothered whether you go to a temple, church or mosque because he has distracted you from acquiring the key of eminence. He has kept the secret away from you. You can worship, you can say [God's] praise; he knows that in worship and praiseworthiness, you can never beat him. The only way you can beat him is through that spiritual technique and he has distracted you from acquiring that technique. 

He is not bothered when you go into the mosque, church and the temple and you offer services. His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi says, 'He is standing right by your side and he is smiling, smirking and giggling.' He says, "Your heart is under my control; what will you gain out of this dry worship?"'

The key of excellence and eminence is the key to greatness, to the pleasure of God. Today, with the generosity and bounty of HDE Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, we feel honoured and blessed that we dispense this mysterious and secretive key with the help of which you will acquire and regain your lost excellence, glory and eminence. Again you will rise in excellence. Again, you will become a divine mirror in which God will reflect himself and show himself to the rest of the creation, with the help of this divine technique. 

The basic difference between the progeny of Adam the Eminent One and others is the technique of spirituality, without the technique of spirituality there is no difference. So, the excellence lies in possession of this technique. Those who have this technique are better, are the best. And those who do not have this technique, no matter what religion they come from [are not eminent].

Adam's Eminence and Glory Fades Away as Man Turns into Beast Again

God created different types of 14,000 Adams. For except the last one, all Adams were created with the clay of this world in this world. No knowledge of eminence was granted to them and they were confined to verbal and physical form of worship. Since they were not granted the knowledge of inner purification, purgation of the soul and mortification of the Self, hence, they worshipped God and at the same time their heart was polluted with arrogance, jealousy, deceit and other evil traits. They hated each other; they did not know tolerance, justice and mutual love. Killing was their favourite pastime and oftentimes their action and retaliation was unjustifiable. This is why, when God decided to create the last of Adams, the angels raised their eyebrows and objected to creation of yet another man. And they exclaimed, ‘O’ God, why do you create Adam yet again? He too will create mischief and shed blood.’ God replied to the angels and said, ‘I will grant this Adam excellence, eminence and the knowledge of my names (spirituality).’ 

For the first time in human history, with the help of this knowledge, man was able to be in contact with God. And then, with the help of different types of knowledge God granted to Abraham, Moses and Jesus, man was able to converse with God and love him. And with the arrival of Prophet Mohammad, the last of all Messengers, man was able to witness the splendour of God and this is how far man could elevate in excellence and eminence. This was the culmination of Spiritual Sciences. Those who acquired such elevated spiritual status were known to be the best among humankind.

Gradually, celestial scriptures in all religions were made subject to adulteration. As a result of this, man lost connection with God. His glory faded away and his excellence and eminence was lost. Today, humanity is back to square one.

Every nation claims to be the best, however the best is none. Now, the Awaited Imam Mehdi/Messiah/Kalki Avatar Gohar Shahi has brought with Him the Knowledge of Divine Love and how to establish a connection with God. One who has established a connection with God and God’s love has entered his heart; he is best of all.
