This is called Nafs e Mulhima (Nafs becomes more firm in listening to one’s conscience, but has not yet surrendered). And whose Nafs is friend of Shariat, Aalims, Kamil Fakirs, pitiful and worshippers of Allah and that is immersed in the Zikr of God and remains intoxicated with his immersion and is Kamil in carrying out his duties that are the rights of his service to Allah and demand of his manhood, it is called Nafs e Mutma’ina (contended Nafs). Thus the Nafs of Anbiya and Aulia is Nafs e Mutma’ina.

 

When the spirit of a righteous person leaves his body, Allah says to it: “O (you) the one in rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased and well-pleasing unto Him! Enter you, then, among My honored slaves, And enter you My Paradise!" (89: 27-30)

 

Aalims belong to those who believe in ‘opinion/supposition’.

 

HADIS

The opinion of Mo’mins is also virtuous.

 

Fakirs belong to Watan.

 

HADIS

Love for mother country (Watan) is a sign of Eimaan.

 

 

Here Watan means Azal (eternity without beginning). Aalims dream of the higher status in Paradise but for Fakirs any station or status is Haram because they have put on Ahraam (pilgrim’s dress) since Azal to Abad. For them the bliss of Deedar of Allah is a perfect Hajj!

 

HADIS

He who has his Lord, everything is his.

 

Aalims are engaged in the vocation of Qul (say) i.e. they remain busy is saying this and that whereas Fakir keep silent.
