Hudal-lil-Muttaqiin; 'Allaziina yu'-minuuna bil Gaybi (This
book sheds Light on those whose hearts are turned to God). Gayb means
those truths which are not apparent to the natural observation of a man, and
all such truths are related to the knowledge of God. The meaning of belief is
certainty or assurance. The meaning of certainty is that truth which always
wanders and seeks, not because the search brings remuneration but because it
seeks to satisfy the longing. The meaning of Muttaqi is that person who uses
his wisdom to deepen his understanding of all things and, at the same time does
not allow skepticism to come close to him. He is careful about God that no
aspect of the universe can deceive him. He recognizes God very distinctly and
knows His handiwork very distinctly.
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
