Mahabbat-ul-Asrar in English

PAGE NO. 12

 

And he who has received Haq, he needs not to learn the knowledge of grammar and syntax. Ignorance is a torment and Ilm (knowledge) is clear Sawab. The Sawab of the Eden and torment of Hell is in the eyes of those who base their acts on argumentation. Those from the class of Love neither take into account Sawab nor torment of Hell but they are always scorching their soul in the Muhaasba (accountability) of their Nafs alone and for the Darwaish, Allah is sufficient enough all besides Him is lust.

 

(THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ILM AND FUKR)

 

Knowledge is but mere calculations and learning by heart while a Fakir is always immersed in the Love and Adore of Zikr and Fikr (reflection) and a Talib of Deedar.

 

The sightseers of Deedar are mad in Divine Love and His adore while the scholars are sitting in royal courts for to seek their livelihood and are indulged in the pleasures for Nafs and Dunya and nourish their Nafs and remain away of God. Friend is under the arms of a Fakir and are exhibitors of this verse:

 

‘and He is with you wheresoever you may be” (57:4)

 

What is difference between a Fakir and a Faqih (scholar in Islamic jurisprudence)? Fakirs remains occupied with ardent desire and love and the Zikr of Allah Almighty whereas Faqih are occupied in studying the problems in the lines, pages and words of books. Thus there is difference in the ‘problems’ of a Fakir and a Faqih because the study of problems does not end till one sees its grave but the Zikr of Allah permanently accompanies with a Fakir.

 

(THE REALITY OF A FAKIR)

 

Fakirs are endowed the Marifat and Taufiq.

 

Hazoor (SA ALLAH HU ALIHA WA ALLIHI WASILIM) said: “verily! The Aulia Allah do not die away but rather they shift from one abode to another”

 

The fame of Faqih is not Arif or Aulia Allah and a Faqih is not Waasil (connected, having met) with Allah Almighty even.  Therefore, the office of a Faqih is worldly while Fakir sits with Allah!
