Acquisition of Knowledge Obligatory Upon all Muslims

It is commonly known amongst Muslims that the first question asked on the Day of Judgement will be about Salat. In the Jewish tenet a similar concept can be found. But I have not found this written in any Hadith. However, I have read in Moulana Rum’s ‘Masnavi’ that the first question on the Day of Judgement would be about Salat. No scholar or researcher questions the authenticity or basis of this concept of what the first question would be on the Day of Judgement. It is just a concept that has been passed along and Muslims believe in it. Keeping this concept in perspective we get the impression that no form of worship is greater than Salat. But if we focus on this and from the vast knowledge available in the Quran and Hadith we get a different impression. 

Many Muslims watch my YouTube videos and question their scholars. I would like to request those people to thoroughly examine what I say. 

According to Hadith-e-Nabvi, whether you are a Muslim man or a Muslim woman, the acquisition of knowledge has been declared obligatory upon all. 

I did not read this Hadith in any book, however, this was written on the main gate of the Urdu Science College. This Hadith should have been written on a mosque but it was written on a college. If this Hadith was written on a mosque at least Muslim men and women would have this understanding that among the many other obligations, the acquisition of knowledge is an obligation also. Now, because Quran is not taught in the schools and colleges they have manipulated this Hadith to suit them referring to the knowledge of physics, chemistry etc. but was Prophet Mohammad referring to physics and chemistry when he said this? One speaks about his field of expertise. Therefore Prophet Mohammad was referring to the acquisition of religious knowledge. If the mosques gave importance to this Hadith, then the average Muslim today would not hold the Muslim Scholars entirely responsible for religious knowledge but rather investigate himself. If Muslims understood religious knowledge to be obligatory then every Muslim would at least have enough knowledge today to help them differentiate the truth from falsehood. 

It is a shame that amongst the Pakistani nation if somebody makes their child a Hafiz-e-Quran (one who memorises the entire Quran word for word), there is greed behind it. They think if you make one child a Hafiz-e-Quran, salvation will be granted to 7 generations. They don’t do it for the sake of acquiring religious knowledge. If one has become Hafiz-e-Quran, has he acquired the religious knowledge? Usually the lazy students cram their studies. They memorise and repeat everything however they do not know what it is they are saying. The words just roll off their tongue. Same is the case with a Hafiz-e-Quran. People say the Quran is in the hearts of the Hafiz-e-Quran. This is wrong. The Quran is not in the heart of the Hafiz-e-Quran, it is in the brain because bookish knowledge is not related to the heart. Guidance, Divine Light (Noor), love, connection with God is related to the heart. If any knowledge is related to the heart it is not the bookish knowledge, it is the Batini (esoteric) knowledge. Bookish knowledge does not enter the heart. Only that knowledge enters a heart that comes from the heart. 

Prophet Mohammad: Scholars are those who will acquire the knowledge from my chest. 

Today I would like to elaborate on this further. ‘Ulema min Sadri’, means the scholars who are from my chest, meaning a scholar will be one who is at least connected to the heart of Prophet Mohammad. This is the commencement of Batini knowledge and the culmination is when the Jussas (sub-spirit) of Prophet Mohammad enter the heart of a person. Such a person becomes Imam-e-Haq. What is the difference between Imam-e-Haq and Aalim-e-Rabbani? One who is enlightened is an Aalim-e-Rabbani and one who possesses a Jussa of Prophet Mohammad is Imam-e-Haq. 

His Divine Eminence Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi says the enlightenment of the heart connects one to God and turns him towards God and it is because of the Nafs (Self) that one remains involved in this world. When somebody’s Nafs is purified he becomes fed up with this world. Imam-e-Haq is one who cuts off the Nafs from the world and into servitude to the Spiritual Guide. When the impurities and evil leave the Self, it will become fed up with the world and its contents. The heart is engaged in this world because of the Nafs. When the hearts of Sufis became fed up with the world, they would seclude themselves in jungles and engage in austerities. They would engage in austerities for a period of 12 years. We have heard that Baba Farid secluded himself and engaged in austerities for 36 years and we have also heard that Ghous Pak spent 40 years in the jungle. Austerities are not for 40 years. The time period for austerities is 12 years and if we say he engaged in austerities 3 times it would only be 36 years. Taking recluse in the jungle for 4 more years was his own choice; he did not desire to go back into the world. Then something happened. One day he was walking and he saw a half-dead man lying in front of him and he said to Ghous Pak, ‘I am Prophet Mohammad’s deen of Islam, please give me support.’ When this happened he was convinced to return to the world, otherwise he was living in the jungle because he did not want to have any connection with the world and its contents. 

When somebody’s heart is connected with the Lord and the Nafs becomes purified, he becomes fed up with the world. Imam-e-Haq, with his Nazar (Merciful Glance), purifies your Nafs and connects you to God by enlightening your heart. You will become fed up of this world when your Nafs’ diet of Naar (negative energy) is cut off and a supply of Noor (Divine Light) is given to the Nafs through the Merciful Glance of the Spiritual Guide. The Nafs will be made to recite the Kalima and when Nafs recites the Kalima, Divine Light will be produced and the evil ways will begin to diminish. When the Nafs has been completely purified, it will become fed up with this world and will not enjoy the company of the worldly people. In fact, those who have purified their Nafs (Saints/friends of God) are advised to keep a distance from people. The rank of Imam-e-Haq is only given to the scholars when a sub-spirit from the divine chest of Prophet Mohammad settles in their heart and this is the knowledge related to the heart of Prophet Mohammad. 

Notice the Hadith which states that the acquisition of knowledge is obligatory upon all Muslim men and women says ‘Muslim’ not ‘Momin’. Because it does not say Momin here, it means acquire that knowledge by which you can become a Momin from a Muslim. At the least, the knowledge of how to become a Momin from a Muslim is obligatory upon all Muslims. They should be able to understand the state of being a Muslim and how they can go from being a Muslim to a Momin. A hint is given in the Quran also.

قَالَتِ الْأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا ۖ قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَٰكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ تُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَا يَلِتْكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْئًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

(49:14)

The Arabs said we are Momin. Tell them they are not Momin but rather they should say they have become Muslim and will become Momin when the Noor of Emaan (faith) enters their heart.

When will the Muslims understand that it is the entrance of Noor in the heart that makes one a Momin? If they read the Quran themselves they would know. But Muslims say we can just ask a scholar, but if the scholars were to tell you this, why have they not already done so by now? Why do they not tell you this is the knowledge of the Quran, this is how you become Muslim, but this is not where you are supposed to stop; if you stop here you will not become a Momin or an Ummati (follower of Prophet Mohammad). Our Ulema start off as professors and simply by giving lectures they become Sheikh Ul Islam, Saints and Spiritual Guides. I am not saying that they cannot become these because it is possible that in 20 years they found a Spiritual Guide and adopted the spiritual ways and obtained knowledge of the heart and managed to enlighten their hearts. It is possible that Tahir ul Qadri could have become Sheikh Ul Islam or a Saint of God. If God wanted, it is all possible. However there is a divine method and a way of recognising such a person. If 20 years ago he was a scholar/professor/doctor and today he is Sheikh Ul Islam than there should be a difference in the lectures he gave 20 years ago and the lectures he gives today. The lectures of a scholar should be different from the lectures of a Sheikh Ul Islam/Mujaddid/Perfect Spiritual Guide. Now, Noor should emanate from his words and people should feel love for God and their hearts should become connected with God. He should dispense the knowledge of heart enlightenment. But the lectures 20 years ago and the lectures today are the same then you are still just a simple scholar. If you had become a Saint or Mujaddid, you would at least tell us of the Tajdeed you made in the religion of Islam. Only the followers of Minhaj ul Quran believe you to be a Mujaddid but the real Mujaddid, Mujaddid Alif Sani is known all over the world and everyone believes him to be the true Mujaddid of Islam.

Ummati is one who possesses Noor in his heart but the Muslim nation today is not the Ummah of Prophet Mohammad. I call them the Pakistani nation, Indian nation or Bengali nation. However they cannot be Ummati of Prophet Mohammad because Prophet Mohammad said ‘An Ummati is one who has Divine Light in his heart.’

On the Day of Judgement, you will not be recognised by your name. Some people think on the Day of Judgement you will be recognised by the name of your mother but according to the Hadith, on the Day of Judgement, you will be recognised by the type of Noor you possess. If everyone possessed the same type of Noor, how would they be differentiated? His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi has explained, 

"Each Prophet and Messenger was given a special name of God and the Divine Light of the name entered the heart. Whoever obtained the special name of God entered the Ummah of its respective prophet."

Moses was granted the name of ‘Ya Rehman’ and whoever obtained ‘Ya Rehman’ from Moses or from any of the Saints in his spiritual lineage and their hearts became enlightened with the name, those hearts would shine on the Day of Judgement with the Divine Light of the name of ‘Ya Rehman’ and this is how God would recognise them to be the Ummati of Moses. Jesus was given ‘Ya Qudduso’ and David was given the name of ‘Ya Waddudo’ which means the one who loves. He used to sing hymns in love of the Lord and this is why he was granted this name. Those who possess an enlightened heart, when they repeat ‘Ya Waddudo’, the love of the Lord begins to enter their hearts. Similarly, Prophet Mohammad was given God’s Personal Name, ‘Allah Hu’ and those whose hearts shine with ‘Allah Hu’ will be recognised as Ummati of Mohammad. The scholars do not tell the Muslim nation how to become a Momin from a Muslim, although they repeatedly use the Hadith known as Hadith-e-Jibrael which explains this and the stages of Islam, Emaan, Ehsan, etc. But they do not know how to obtain these stages. If they knew, they would have explained it and if they had known, then misguidance would not be so widespread.

Quran: Inallaha qareeb minal mohsineen

If you want to see those who are in close proximity of God, then keep company of Mohsineen. A Mohsin is one who is at the stage of Ehsaan. Ehsaan is derived from the word Husn (beauty) meaning one whose heart possesses the beauty, image or reflection of the Lord or one who has seen God is a Mohsin. The stage of Islam is accepting the Kalima by word of mouth. The stage of Emaan is when the Noor of the Kalima enters the heart. For those who have reached the stage of Ehsaan the Quran says:

هل جزاء الاحسان الا الاحسان

(55:60)

You see me and I see you. Ehsaan means to see beauty. To see God is Ehsaan. If you have seen the beauty of God once, he will look at you 370 times. Muslims should follow the Hadith and at least acquire the knowledge of becoming a Momin from a Muslim because it is obligatory for every Muslim. From there how will they reach the stage of Ehsaan? It cannot be done alone. With whomsoever your destiny lies, will take you there.

Who is a Wali Allah?

Tahir Ul Qadri claims to be a Wali Allah (Friend of God). Sultan Haq Bahu and Ghous Pak was Wali Allah also. They were able to connect people to God. Ghous Pak said, ‘My disciple cannot die without Emaan (faith)’. Tahir Ul Qadri cannot make such a claim. How are you Sheikh Ul Islam? You cannot claim that followers of Minhaj ul Quran cannot be misguided. A Wali Allah is one in whose mouth the Lord speaks. When the Lord speaks through your mouth, the Lord would say something he has not previously said. God has already revealed the Quran. This means when the Lord will speak through your mouth, you will not read the Quran and you will not repeat Hadith to people because if the Lord will speak, he would say something new that he has never said before. Those through whose mouth the Lord speaks do not read books nor do they teach from books.

Moulana Rum said, ‘O you who are unaware, deen is not found in the books’. The scholars speak of Moulana Rum and we are doing the same and you [Tahir ul Qadri] are writing book after book. If someone asks you about Imam Abu Hanifa you say I am not even equivalent to the feet of Imam Abu Hanifa. If you are not then Imam Abu Hanifa has written many books why are you writing books? Ghous Pak has already written books, why are you writing books? 

When God speaks through somebody’s mouth that person does not know the Lord is speaking, but the one listening knows it is the Lord speaking. What happens when the Lord speaks? Once Ba Yazeed Bastami went to the mosque and a Molvi (cleric) was leading the prayers. Molvis have a habit of making speeches and during his speech the molvi said the flag of Prophet Mohammad will rise, high above the rest on the Day of Judgement. Ba Yazeed Bastami was in a highly spiritual state and the Tifle Noorie (sub-spirit of God) within him stirred. He stood up and said to the cleric, ‘Sit down. The flag that shall raise high above all others is my flag’. This was the Lord speaking. But, people caught him and when they questioned him, he swore to God that he had not made this statement because by then he had come out of his spiritual state. On another occasion, Ba Yazeed Bastami was praying and the Lord spoke, ‘Ma azam shaani subhani’. The disciples knew he is a Saint of God therefore he could not be lying so they asked him about it. In return he asked them a simple question, ‘Whose flag is greater than Prophet Mohammad’s?’ They said God’s. He said then God must have spoken. When God speaks this way, people understand it is God speaking. If God speaks in you, then why do you just repeat Hadith and Quran? When God speaks and leaves, Quran and Hadith are used to verify what God has said.

The Jewish have a similar faith. According to the Jewish tenet, the first question asked on the Day of Judgement would be with how much intensity did they awaited the Messiah. 

Hazrat Ali said the same for Imam Mehdi. He said, ‘To await Imam Mehdi in the last era would be the greatest of all worship’. 

Imam Mehdi and the Messiah are the same. But look at the tenet of the Jewish. It is obvious this question would be poised at those who had not met the Messiah because those who had would be enlightened. This question would be directed towards those who came before the Messiah. They would be asked with how much intensity they awaited the Messiah because the wait would ignite a fire in their heart and that in turn would generate Noor and that Noor became the wealth of Emaan. You too await Imam Mehdi but waiting does not mean sitting with a watch. It means there is a longing and desire in your heart for Him to come as soon as possible. If you want to make this wait worthwhile, spread the message to the world. Tell them how to recognise Imam Mehdi and tell them what Imam Mehdi will do when He arrives. Tell people about the Spiritual Blessings of Imam Mehdi and show His image. Doing so will intensify the longing and desire for Imam Mehdi to come.

الر كِتَابٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُخْرِجَ النَّاسَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ

(14:1)

Surah Ibrahim is related to the Messiah. The Book of Alif Laam Ra was sent forth onto you. This was not said for Prophet Mohammad, if it had there would have been mention of his Ummah. This is for Imam Mehdi because providing guidance to all humanity is His job. The chapter of Alif Laam Ra will be sent onto you so that you may help all humanity become enlightened. What comes from God cannot be obtained for except with his permission. Similarly the Book of Alif Laam Ra would not be given without permission of the Lord. However, we have been given permission from the Lord, permission to give Ra Riaz. 

This is not Sirat al Mustaqeem. Allah Hu in the heart is the path to establish Sirat al Mustaqeem. But this is the Path to get connected to God’s Personal Being. You do not have to establish this path; this is the path that leads directly to the Lord. This is known as Sirat ul Aziz. It is written in the Quran. This will connect you to His being directly.

An update

I apologise for not updating this blog in the last 6 months. However, I have been extremely busy and touring and spreading the message of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi. I am very happy with Messiah/Mehdi Foundation's and Kalki Avatar Foundation International's success in taking the hope-inspiring message of divine love to the hearts of humanity in recent months.

Here are some links for recent events and interviews from my tour in Sri Lanka:

• Thinakural Newspaper's Article on the Ra Raam Conference in Sri Lanka (Tamil)
• The Virakesari's Article on Kalki Foundation International (Tamil) and the Ra Raam Conference (Tamil); The English translation of said article can be found here
• My Television Interview with Dan TV
• Thinakaran's Interview (Tamil)
• Sudar Oli's Coverage of the Ra Raam Conference (Tamil)
• The Suday Leader Interview

It is Lord Ra Riaz's grace that with the support and cooperation of the United Nations and the Indian Government, our 65 members detained in Tihar Jail since 2007 were recently freed and granted asylum in Canada and the United States. They no longer fear for their lives in Pakistan. Read more about it here.

I have also been delivering speeches on a variety of subjects. The videos can be viewed on either one of our YouTube Channels: KhadimeYounus or MehdiFoundation. Transcripts of my speeches are uploaded on www.goharshahi.us.

The Nature of the Quran and the Nature of the Bible

Lord Jesus Christ says, “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even the sinners do the same. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the most high, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. “ [Luke 6:32-35]


Remember this is what we do we love only those who love us we take care of those only who take care of us we are kind to those only who are kind to us, this is what we do. The rest is fine but the last line that says God is kind to the ungrateful and the evil, this is different in the Quran. What Jesus is saying is something different, Quran doesn't say that. Quran says: If you are thankful and grateful to God for whatever reason, abundance of Rizq (provision), that he gives you lots of Rizq and this is why you are grateful to him then having been grateful to God you will see the reward in form of increase in your provision and those who are ungrateful, God doesn't like them and God doesn't increase in their provision. And the evil, God doesn't like evil according to Quran, and according to the Bible God is kind to evil. Both Quran and Bible are considered the Divine Word. Then why there is a noticeable difference between the two? What Jesus is saying is a taste of wisdom but it is not easy, because we have this is in our nature that we are only kind to those who are kind to us, if somebody is abusive to you, you instantly change your behaviour with them.

When I look into the depth of the Bible and the nature of the discourses of Jesus Christ I find it very appealing to my heart. Or maybe this is because Bible talks about love profusely. I have not found one single Ayah in Quran that discusses these matters. Although Quran says some people love God and God loves them. But, Quran does not give advice like this; don't think I am against Quran. I am just giving you a comparative view of these two different Holy Scriptures.

“If you love those who love you what benefit is that to you, for even sinners love those who love them.” Now, if you do the same as sinners are doing, then what is the difference between you and the sinners? Your character should be up-lifted. Your character should be elevated. And then Jesus says something really, really eminent. “If you love your enemies, and you do good and you lend, and in return you do not expect anything.” What is the reward? Jesus says the reward will be too high, too great. The reward will be that you will be taken by God as His sons. This is a bemused theory often given by the priests, that Lord Jesus Christ is the long forgotten son of God. Whereas in Bible if you do that you will be short listed among those who are sons of God.

The reason for giving a comparative view on both the Quran and Bible is so that you understand and realise how difficult it is to unify all the religions into the Religion of God and also, why God has said,

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةً۬ وَٲحِدَةً۬ فَٱخۡتَلَفُواْ‌ۚ وَلَوۡلَا ڪَلِمَةٌ۬ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ [Quran 10:19]

“Had I not been waiting for the Kalima-e-Sabqat, all the humanity would be but one United Nation and would not be dispersed, divided, shattered and scattered into many groups, many tribes and many religions.”

The most difficult thing in unifying the religions and bringing them all together in the Ummat-e-Wahida (One United Nation) is that people who follow Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible, the nature and the message of Bible is different from the nature and message of the Holy Quran.

The Holy Quran has its own charms, its own nature of spirituality. When you read the Holy Quran you instantly realise that this book is not from a human being. This book is not from a Prophet or a Messenger because the compelling environment which the recitation of the Quran creates is so majestic and it's so heavy that you become affected by the compelling nature of the Holy Quran. And even if you do not understand Quran, you just listen to the recitation of Quran in some beautiful voice and you will start shaking, you will feel the intense spiritual vibration. Maybe not everybody feels the same as I have experienced and observed myself, however I do understand that there is some majestic vibe in the recitation of Quran. When it comes to the bottom of the truth and you want to know the nature of the teachings and its application and its impact and then the expectations of the outcome, Quran has very little to offer in formation of the character. Those points that Quran mentions in regards to the formation of the character you can only talk about it, but Quran does not give you the solution.

The Quran says do not backbite, do not slander against anyone and do not be curious as to what is who doing. It's none of your business and then Quran goes on to say that would you like to eat the meat of your dead brother? Of course not, you would hate it. These are the words of Quran. But Quran doesn't say how to avoid from performance of such great esoteric sins like back biting, slandering and unnecessary curiosity. Quran doesn't offer a solution. If the solution was to be found in Quran then the religious scholars of Quran would have purified themselves from these sins because this group of religious scholars are more involved in these esoteric sins than any other member of that particular religion. In a similar way Bible talks about love but Bible doesn't talk about the procedure, how to obtain love.

It is very unfortunate, before His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi's arrival in this world nobody was able to give a view on these Holy Books. People were afraid if they didn't understand anything they would think it is some wisdom and we have to keep our mouths shut. But here you see, because His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi has given us some more advanced teachings than what we have in the Quran and Bible, we can understand where these teachings are coming from and what are the targets set by God.

A solitary point that I would like to draw your attention towards is that the nature of the Bible doesn't go along well with the nature of the Quran. That is the difference. God is the creator of all, I understand that and He can give different methods of worship to different religions, but one thing is very important, no matter how many religions He got created by the messengers and prophets and no matter how great the difference is between the religions, among the religions, but one thing is very clear, in whatever message in whatever scripture, given to whatever messenger or prophet, God's character shall not change. The nature of God shall not change. Maybe the nature of the religion is diversified in all assorted nations. However the nature of God the characteristics of God cannot change. Your characteristics will not change, let alone the characteristics of God change.

Example: God is kind. If God is kind in Quran, it is impossible that God can become unkind in the Bible. With the change of religion God's nature will not change. The message can differ in the Bible to the message given in the Holy Quran, that's okay because He gave the scriptures to the human beings according to their nature. Then no matter how many scriptures have been granted to how many messengers and prophets, the nature of religions will vary one to another. However the characteristics of God shall never change. If God is kind he is always kind no matter if he is kind to a group of Muslims, or a group of Christians, or a group of Jews. It is very unfair to say God is kind to the Muslims but not to the Christians because this is against God's character. If God is kind he will remain to be kind because he is immortal. His character is immortal, his words are immortal.

According to Quran, God doesn't love or like the ungrateful ones, but according to the Bible God is kind to the ungrateful and the evil and according to Quran God is not kind to the evil or ungrateful ones. Why? God's character changed? No! The source is different. Gods character didn't change it shall never change. This father who is sending these messages, ‘Love your enemies, do good and if you lend then expect nothing in return’ and God, your Father, is kind to the ungrateful and your Father is kind to the evil.

The Nature of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi vs. the Nature of God

They say that Iblis had a Dua (supplication) in his memory and what will happen towards the end just before the Day of Judgement, he will say that supplication and God will forgive him. And then when Iblis was saying this in front of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi said to him, “Forget about Dua, if you place your head at these feet you will be forgiven. Gohar Shahi is kind to Iblis also.”

You know you can go through all the scriptures of the world but you will not find a third example, either His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi has been kind to Iblis or Prophet Mohammad has been kind to Iblis. One day Iblis came to Prophet Mohammad. The ayah was revealed ‘Wa ma arsalnaka illa rehmat alil alameen’



وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ [Quran 21:107]



and soon after the ayah was revealed Iblis came. Prophet Mohammad asked him what makes you come here, why have you come here? He said ‘Ya Rasool Allah the ayah has been revealed. I also live in between these Alameen (realms of the earth and skies). I also deserve your Rehmat (blessings). Prophet Mohammad as according to his nature is very innocent. Maybe he was more innocent than he was kind or maybe both, in which case the chances of Iblis' forgiveness was double. The Prophet said, "Okay fire away." He said, "When people say ‘La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah’"



لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله [Sahih Muslim Book 1:415]



"The angels slap me on my face and I have to leave." He said, "Ya Rasool Allah when they will recite this I will leave, but promise to ask the angels not to slap me on my face." And Prophet Mohammad promised him this.



In addition to His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi there is only one example, only Prophet Mohammad has been recorded to have been kind to Iblis. This is the character of Prophet Mohammad. He has been kind but God isn't. The Quran doesn't say it. Now, because of the difference between these two scriptures, I assume the source is different and then if you love your enemy and you do good to your enemy the reward is so great, what is the reward? God will take you as His sons. It means the job is very great. It is not easy to love your enemy to do good to your enemy. The reward reveals how difficult the task is.



What is enmity?

What is enmity? Where does it come from and why enmity differs from person to person? For example a common man and a holy man possess the same amount of enmity for someone, but, the intensity of enmity will be different. Why? Because enmity increases, if this enmity is born by somebody who still has Nafs-e-Ammarah, who still has Khannas who still has Shaitan living in him all these things increase the intensity of enmity. If somebody is an enemy of a holy man, that holy man does not have Shaitan in him, his enmity doesn't increase, that holy man doesn’t have Khannas in him so he is safe from the whisperer, the holy man does not hold grudge against anybody, including his enemies, so when all these ingredients of hatred are absent in enmity then that enmity is very low-profile. And with the help of the sublime character that enmity will be superseded by the sublime character and by the intensity of love in that holy man.

The holy man may have enmity for somebody but his nature and the nature of love and his inner purity will not push him to harm his enemy. But the nature of love will compel him to love even his enemy. That is only possible when form head to toe you have become Noor (Divine Light). That is only possible when from head to toe you have become love. This is possible only when you have acquired complete and culminating love and purity.

Dear Folks,

I would like to wish all Goharians a happy Eid Milad Un Nabi.
