Ainul Faqar / Ainul Faqr

BAYT (COUPLET)

When your Ilm is not beneficial to you,

Then ignorance would be better than such Ilm.

Ilm is salvation (Rastgaari) and ignorance is evildoing and fall. The river is Faqar is a following river. Keep in mind that a Saint has said "the buyer of the essence of ignorance is damned Satan, knower of the essence of Ilm is rahmaan (beneficent) and the deposits (and mine) of the essences of Faqar is the Lamakaan and the essence of beastliness like is eating [and drinking] for satisfaction of the soul". This Faqeer Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe answers to this that the essence of Ilm lies in the tongue and eye and the essence of Faqar lies in the head, bosom and soul. The essence of the evil marrow of ignorance remains perplexed (and turbulent) and the Satan brings Darkness inside the brain of Jaahil person. We seek refuge in Allah from this!

Faqeer should keep Alif remembered first of all because Alwahiyat means Elahun Wahid (the One and Only Deity of Worship).

Allah is sufficient; everything other than Allah is just lust (and greed)!

Then, Faqeer needs four Baa. First Baa is Bismillahi Rahmaani Raheem (in the Name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful); he should get its Auspiciousness (and blessing). Second Baa is Bina e Islaam (Pillar of Islam). Third Baa is this that he should abstain from Badi (evil). Fourth Baa is keeping the Nafs, desire and desires Band (Shut).

In addition, Faqeer needs seven Taa. First Taa is Tark (Abnegating) Dunya (World). Second Taa is Tawakul . Third Taa is Takbeer e Tahreema (Allahu Akbar) and he should always offer Assalaat (Prayers) Five Times with Congregation. Fourth Taa is Tawazeh (Courtesy and obeisance). Fifth Taa is Tasleem (Submission and acquiescence). Sixth Taa is Tark (giving up) arrogance and vanity. Seventh Taa is all the time remaining Tayyaar (prepared) for death and aware of grave.

Allah is sufficient; everything other than Allah is just lust (and greed)!

Had there been no Ulema-e-Aamil (scholars who practice on their knowledge) and the Kaamil Faqeers in the world, it should have been surrounded by Darkness because of devilment. Lads would have been in Lahve and La'ebb (sport and pastime 6:32), young in vanity and intoxication, sensual desires, and the old people busy in backbiting and inappropriate talking. One should keep away of sport and pastime, intoxication, desires of Nafs and backbiting. Adab (Deference) is realized through Silence and eruption (of mystique and emotion) arises is the heart [of the Faqeer] by Zikr [e Qalbi] and his Sabar (Patience) expresses Maratib of suffering so much silently in love.

About Tawakul: Tawakul means breaking relation with 'all that, which is besides Allah' and making relation with Allah. Tawakul has four Degrees, which are as under:

1.       Earning the Halaal livelihood and eating Halaal (lawful and allowed) and providing Halaal to family, parents, and expending in the way of Allah from his assets earned by Halaal (lawful) means and performing the Five Fundamental Elements of Islam. However, this is the Tawakul of the ordinary persons.

2.       Tawakul of Second Degree is, breaking ties with the creation and making ties with the Creator. This degree is achieved because of the Tawajuh of the Murshid-e-Kaamil. The love for the world ends from the heart of the Seeker due to it and he, on entering the garden of Tawakul, removes all thorns of greed (grasping) and the Nifaaq ,.

3.       Tawakul of Third Degree is that the Seeker breaks ties with the entire Creatures, and builds ties with the Creator and becomes His beloved, he always remains Immersed in the Remembrance of Lord, and Zikr-e-Khafi is gained by him that takes him to the Maratib of a Majzoob.

4.       The Seeker after Immersing in the Noor of the Essence becomes eternally Absorbed in Noor and becomes Laa-Yuhtaaj after finding the Martaba of the godly (Ba-Khuda), the Waasil with Haq and the Absolute Noor. He is left with no want of anything or any dependency. This is the entirety of Tawakul that is the holy person of Lord of Worlds Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallamand is available to the Faqeers of his Ummat because of his means. Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam has said that: "Faqar is my pride and Faqar is from me [that is, it is my Sunnat]
