BAYT

I, initially was, a combination of four elements, later of three,

Now of two and when left the dualism, became Unity.

 

(THE ALLEGORY OF THE PRESENCE OF THE FOUR ELEMENTS IN HUMAN BODY)

 

Allegory of the Four Elements in human body is like the presence of Four Birds which are:

 

1.      Cock of Lust (Shahwat) i.e. Fire

2.      Pigeon of Desire i.e. Air

3.      Peacock (Taoos) of Adornment i.e. Water

4.      Raven of Greediness (Hirs) i.e. Soil

 

With the Zikr of Allah, these birds get slaughtered and go extinct and the effect of the Four Elements ceases to exist in one�s body and his body turns completely into Noor as per the following Verse.

 

Allah Almighty says: �And when Ibrahim said, "My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." He (Allah) said: "Do you not believe?" He (Abraham) said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith." He said: "Take four birds, then cause them to incline towards you (then slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and then put a portion of them on every hill, and call them, they will come to you in haste. And know that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.� (2:260)

 

According the Way to Haq and the Shariat of Muhamamd (SA ALLAH HU ALIHA WA ALLIHI WASILIM) it is clear that he who accesses to these degrees, he bows in humbleness with a Meek Heart. This verse is about such said persons.
