WAY TOWARDS GOD

Start with the name of ALLAH ALLMIGHTY the most Merciful and the all Merciful. There is no GOD save Him. HE is one and lonely. HE creates every thing either in the earth or in the heavens. HE is only and lonely owner of that. HE knoweth which is front of them and which is behind them. Nothing is happened with out HIS order HE says in holy Qur'an that "a single leaf can not move with out HIS will". HE creates eighteen thousand creatures and HE gives the crown of KHILAFAT to human. HE sends a lot of messengers for the human to ask them " What is the purpose of this creation, why he is superior to every other creature, what is his goal, which he has to achieve in short duration, how he can achieve this goal and be successful.

Thousands of incline and slam to HAZRAT MUHAMMED (peace be upon him) He is superior among all human beings. He is the last messenger of Of GOD. He showed the actual course of life and purpose of this crea_ tion. GOD says in holy book " Oh people! If you want to get my love then obey my prophet". Another place GOD says " the person who obeys my prophet actually he obeys me".

After the hamed-o-sana, Oh human inspite of this who are you, what are you, what is your religion, what is your country, what is your caste, What is your thought, either you are Muslim or you are Christian, either you are Hindu or you are Jew, either you belong to any philosophy of life or you are man or woman. In every group either science or philosophy most of you have belief that there is only one who created this system and that is our lord, our GOD. So every sensible person should ask few questions to himself. These are:

When and why ALLAH created this universe?

What is the purpose of creation?

Why man was preferred upon all the creatures?

What is the goal of human in this world from GOD?

What is our start and what is our end?

So in this page I will give you these secrets with the blessing of ALLAH ALMIGHTY. So this first relation of man is very important for himself.



ENGLISH: "And WE did not create jinn and man except to worship"

In this holy verses GOD says that we created man for our worship. Now if we analyse the above mentioned verse then a sensible person, who knows a little about religion, knows that angels are those creatures of GOD who have been worshiping GOD for thousands of years, which means that, that their worship is more than man but ALLAH Almighty says in holy book



"I am going to give kilaphet to man"

Here is a point that in nature superior between two is that, as for example horse is better than elephant as far as speed is concerned. If the purpose of human is to worship like angels then angels should be superior to humans, but ALLAH gave superiority to humans when HE asked angels for prostration. Now the question arises that what is essay of this verse. Hazrat IBN-E-ABBAS (GOD be pleased with him) gave the explanation of this verse as "we did not create jinn and human, but to get gnosis (to get proximity of GOD). There is another question that why ALLAH Almighty created such a big universe? Even the smallest thing that exists on this earth contains a huge knowledge. For example there is a PhD degree in a small flower. If the purpose is only worship then there is no need to give such a big secret to such a small thing. HE says in his holy book off and on that " O` man concentrate about things which I created and get the way to me". Actually these things are the signs of HIS essence. In tradition (Hadith-e-Qudsi) ALLAH Almighty says that
"I was a hidden treasure: when I intended to be known I created human." So from this tradition (Hadith-e-Qudsi) it is clearly understood that ALLAH Almighty was hidden, HE was the only one in this universe and when HE intended that some one should know HIS glorious personality, HE created human to get his gnosis. Now to get gnosis there are certain steps. The first step is to recognize his ESSENCE. We say in words of faith "I witness that there is no GOD but ALLAH". Now consider when someone happens to go to the court of this world in any country, the judge asks him to put his hand on holy book and say the truth that he has seen that evidence with his eyes. Please tell me am I true or not. Now we comeback to the words of faith(Kalma) in which we witness in the court of His Majesty. Now see, that when one cannot give evidence in the court of this world without seeing the evidence with his eyes, then how can he witness the presence of ALLAH without seeing HIM. A child's belief is the belief of his parents i.e., where he was born. Forexample a child born in a Christain family will be Christian. Similarly a child born in Muslim family will be a Muslim. Actually most of us are inspired of parents or society. None of us tries to find the truth. In every holy book it is clearly written that observe about this creation. In Holy Qur'an GOD says



English: "Have you seen the person who made his *passious his deity."


"There are lot of people and jinx who shall go to hell (because) WE gave them heart but they did not care, we gave them eyes but did not see, we gave them ears but they did not listen. They are animals (rather) worst than animals. They are failed"



English: "WE show our sign in the universe up to this you will recognize that essence of GOD."

Another place Prophet (peace be upon him) says,
" A moment's meditation is better than the worship of two worlds."

Now we have reached at a place where the question arises that what should be our mission to get the proximity of GOD. Now the question is that where is GOD? ALLAH Almighty says in his holy book
"HIS signs are within yourself but do not perceive"

At another place HE says,
" I am nearest to you. "

If HIS essence is so near to us, why we can not recognize HIM, why?? It is because our eyes can not observe HIM. HIS essence can not come in our wisdom. This eye can not even face the sun which is His creature. So how can we recognize HIM?

Prophet (peace be upon him) says



English: "He who recognized himself, recognized his LORD"

The great poet Allama IQBAL says



Means that concentrate yourself and get the secret of life.

Now here is my question that what is our recognition? If we ask someone that who are you and he replies that I am Ali (or my name is Ali). Now I ask him that who is Ali and how can you define Ali? He, as well as most of you will not be able to answer. Some of you will say that the person you are seeing from head to feet is Ali. Am I right? IMAM GHAZALI said that an animal also has five senses and recognizes himself like he has legs, eyes etc., what he has to eat and what are his needs. Then what is the difference between you and animal? Let us come to our previous example in which Ali answers that the one who you are looking at from head to feet is Ali. Now strictly speaking, I disagree with his answer. Just imagine that Ali has died and he is on his death bed, the complete figure but people around him even his relatives recognize him as a "dead body" and when we take him to the mosque for prayer, the Imam calls him in the prayer to be a dead body. Why? When the complete figure of Ali is there from head to his feet, then why everyone is calling him to be a dead body. Similarly when a dead child is born, his parents do not name him. Why? Then who is Ali, the dead body. No, not at all. It is interesting that even we do not know about our self. In Holy Book GOD says
" There are lot of people who work and labor but their labor will be lost on the final day"
Alas! we are losing our lives. We do not know the secret within us. ALLAH Almighty says



" Man is MY secret and I am his secret."

Now we reach the place that who we are? Actually MAN is the combination of two bodies one is before you who is certain weight and occupies certain space. For this GOD says in his holy book that we made man from soil and also says that we made every thing from water. This body is combination of three things solid, liquid, and gas. If we concentrate on the universe, then every thing in this universe is also made up of these three things. Sofi saints say that man himself is a universe, a complete system. Now as we concentrate on our body we have blood as liquid ,bone or flesh as solid and what we are breathing is a gas. But please concentrate that actually man does not die due to the lack of these components. These three things belong to this land and that is why when a person dies his body is buried. This body has five senses it is completely like animal. There is another thing, which is the cause of his life. The other body of man is called soul or spirit, which belongs to another world called Spiritual World, as God says in his Holy Book


"The elemental world and spiritual world both belong to ALLAH"

At another place in Holy Book HE says


"Say O` Prophet that soul belongs to the invisible world (spiritual world) of my Lord "

From these two verses it is clearly proved that soul has a world and this is not it's place. Here on this stage we have few question in our mind that our elemental body has five senses and needs food, guidance, society and so many other things then what about our spiritual body. Has it any figure and any sense? Does it need food and if any, then what is its food? These all questions will be required. But before this it is stated that why our soul came into this world and why the soul left its country?

ALLAH Almighty says that HE created man to gain His gnosis( Here man mean our soul) HE call our soul when he intended to be known, HE created eighteen thousand creatures and at that time all souls were created which includes all the souls that have come to this world and those which will come up to the end of this world. ALLAH Almighty gave them HIS proximity and union for four thousand years. Hazrat Sultan BAHU (GOD be blessed with him) and Hazrat Mehr Ali Shah (GOD be blessed with him) point about this event



Hazrat Sultan BAHU (GOD be blessed with him) says in his poetry that when HE created all these things, we were placed there .At that time we got His union and His proximity. One was that our home where angels were not allowed to go and the otherone this our home, where we have been caught in cage (body). Go to hell this world which made us apart from our homeland.

Now here is a question that how he can *say and remember and why we can not remember that and why we can not say it. Please concentrate on this and think. Let us visualize that there is a person which is not provided with proper diet and proper guidance and he has reached to a strange place where no one knows him and no one knows about his food neither can anyone guide him. So please imagine that what would be the condition of that person. Same is with us, when we do not know about our spiritual background how can we fulfill it's requirements . The saints are those people of GOD who recognize themselves with the help of proper guidance and blessing of GOD.

Now we reach to our state what happened when we were there. After that long period ALLAH Almighty speeched to us which is in holy book

AM I not your lord; the creator."

Every one replies
" why not you are our lord"


After that HE intended to test us and HE told in HIS holy book


"WE made man with two mixed sperms and nature (the elemental body and spiritual body) in order to test and WE made him hear and see."

So here it is clearly shown that why we have come here. At another place GOD says



English: " And we placed him in lowest place "

These verses also give the proof of this thing. Now we are in a position where we can talk about the food and guidance of spirit so that we can recognize ourselves, our LORD and then we can worship and can make ourselves superior than angels as Huzrat Ghauth-ul-Azam Abdul Qadir Gelaney (GOD be blessed with him) says



English " A person who does not recognize GOD how he can worship and can get proximity of GOD."

Please concentrate that when we were in our home and were getting proximity of HIS essence for that long period what was our food. At that time, it was the light(noor) of GOD. There is another thing when someone answers some questions, he should have power to listen, power to speak and also power to think, only then he can give answer. Here it is proved that our soul has eyes as well as ears and also has thinking power. What an interesting state, where now we have reached.

Now we have reached here in the examination hall to test our love. Just imagine how you can love a person whom you have never seen. So first step is to see, then these stages will start. We have two bodies as well as we have two fathers who are responsible for our health and necessities of these two bodies. One father, as all of us know, is Hazrat ADAM (peace be upon him) and other is our Prophet Hazrat MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him) as in tradition(Hadith) He says to his companion Hazrat JABER (GOD be pleased with him)


Tradition:" O` JABER (GOD be pleased with him) your lord created my spirit with his noor (light) and all off the creature was created from my noor (light)"

Now we have reached at this stage. The representative of Hazrat ADAM (peace be upon him) are our parents but who is the representative father of our souls. That person is in this world in every array of time and we are given the order to look for him. He is called in Arabic `Sheikh or Murshed` who gives food and guidance to our soul and makes us to fly to our homeland(spiritual world). The Holy Book Quran witnesses this


" O` faithful people fear ALLAH and seek an intermediator towards HIM and struggle in his path perhaps you may find salvation."

Another place in Holy Book GOD says


" O` faithful, fear ALLAH and remain with the saints."

On another palace ALLAH witness this


" Obey GOD, his prophet and those in power (means those people which are blessed the spiritual power to go to their home and get HIS proximity and know all the secret in this creation) amongst you "

So these verses clearly show and gives evidence of our this state. Now here we get another question and reach another state. Here in this world there is a sheikh in a corner who even does not know about himself and there is another drawback that our religious teachers (ulma) also haven't probed into the reality of life. They preach to come in mosque and worship GOD. HE will give you paradise and you will get water of Kausur. They have forgotten that why we were sent to this world and what is our goal. Our goal is to get proximity of HIS essence. This is the nature of our soul and every thing which is out of nature creates problem and hence ineffective . Hazrat SULTAN BAHU (GOD be blessed with him) say in his Persian poetry


" Heart( Sofi Saint use heart for soul) is sleepy and dead and tongue is full of verses and tradition; how such an impotent person can meet with the generous LORD."

So in this last era every reality is diffused. Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) says


" The person who worships GOD for the greed of wealth is impotent, the person who worships for the greed of paradise, is woman and the only potent is the one who worships GOD for the proximity of HIS essence "

*If you are keenly reading it, you will think that before this how much we were unaware of reality. So we come to our point that how can we recognize the Sheikh in this blind world. Many particular saints gave the signs of that blessing of GOD. They say that first when you meet with that personality, you feel without any knowledge that you have never seen such a person who has such a brightened face when you happen to see his face, you commemorate ALLAH. In His Company you listen only about the love, concentration and commemoration of ALLAH Almighty. Other sign is that he will give commemoration and concentration of ALLAH. As Hazrat Sultan BAHU (GOD blessed on him) says in his Punjabi poetry


My sheikh sowed the seed of HIS great personal name ALLAH in my heart and neglected every thing or cleaned my heart from every thing except ALLAH. This seed made me fragrant. May live my Sheikh who sowed this seed"

Now we have reached our final state that what is our start in this way to seek that personality. Such personality is unique as the Prophet says


"*Before journey to GOD you should get a guide other wise Satan is on way"

In Holy Book it is clearly given



" I swear of Your Glorious that I will definately misguide people except those who become sincere to *you "

So I conclude my discussion that every human should research about himself. Please do not follow blindly. I will give you name of some books about realities. Please concentrate on these so that you get your goal and do not follow blindly. Allama Iqbal says in his poetry p
