[Thus,] that Murshid or a Pir, from him the Tasarruf of the worldly treasures of Ilm and the teaching of satiety is not achieved by the Seeker in the first day, how is it possible that the Seeker Mureed will attain the Marifat of God and Faqar-e-Ikhtiyari ?
The Noble Prophet Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
said that: The torture
of hunger is harder than the Punishment of grave
HADIS
(Saying of the
Holy Prophet of Allah
Hazrat
Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)
Lo! Allah loves those Faqeers, who are Ghani .
That person, who shows grievance
against Faqeer , he [is as if he] shows grievance against Allah
Almighty
. Such a kind of Faqeer,
who expresses grievance against Faqar , his Faqar is Faqar-e-Iztarari
and he faces starvation, shame and disgrace.
HADIS
(Saying of the
Holy Prophet of Allah
Hazrat
Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)
We seek refuge in Allah against that Faqar, which falls down straight (that is, Faqar-e-Mukibb).
You should know that Satan is an Aalim and with his scholarly ability, he has been influencing the entire world. There would be hardly one in thousands, who will go ahead of Satan with respect to Ilm . However, Satan is unblessed and deprived of the teachings and Ilm of Hidayat of the Holy Tauraat (the Torah), the Holy Injeel (the Gospel), the Holy Zaboor (the Psalms) and the Holy Quran.
ABOUT FAQAR-E-IKHTIYARI AND FAQAR-E-IZTARARI:
Faqar
is of two kinds: One is Faqar-e-Iztarari , that is, the Nigun Saar
(that falls down straight) for which, refuge in Allah
has been sought for in
the Hadis: We seek refuge in Allah
against that Faqar, which falls down
straight (that is, Faqar-e-Mukibb). This is that Faqar, which is
imposed by Allah
on a person in wake of his wretchedness or because of his bad
doings. Such Faqeer begs at every door, cries, and does a shameful act
of spreading his hands before others like a panhandler. This Faqar is
that which is not that, which is chosen by will but is forced on him. Other one
is Faqar-e-Ikhtiyari which
is chosen by will by the high-spirited Faqeers in spite of the fact that
they possess power, ability, the pomp of the Dunya (World), dignity
and respect and yet they prefer Faqar and become Dervish Faqeers
in order to win the gladness (and accreditation) and Raza of God. They
are not compelled to become Faqeers by any other circumstances and they
assume Faqar as their own will. This is that Faqar, on which
Hazrat
Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee
Wa-sallam has felt pride.
