Allâhu ta’âlâ, who has no partner in any of His attributes. If this<br />

meaning is pondered over well, the problem will be solved on<br />

this basis.<br />

Sir! I have written the answer in detail and so clearly. For,<br />

many people have fallen into uncertainty about this matter. The<br />

shaikhs of Turuq-i aliyya should be deeply learned so that they<br />

may solve such doubts in such a way that everbody will<br />

understand them. Recently the tekkes (dervish convents) have<br />

been left in the hands of the ignorant. Those who know nothing<br />

of the dîn and faith have been called shaikhs. And the enemies<br />

of dîn, seizing upon the waffles and jests of these so-called<br />

shaikhs, have said that superstitions have been mixed up with<br />

the dîn and the dîn has been defiled. Indeed, it is quite wrong to<br />

think of the words and the actions of (these sham) men of<br />

tarîqat as the dîn and to mistake them for the great men of<br />

tasawwuf. It means not to know, not to understand the dîn.<br />

Being an authority in the dîn requires knowing the savants of<br />

the Ahl as-sunnat, reading and understanding the books of<br />

these great people well, and doing what one knows. In the<br />

absence of scholars in this capacity, the enemies of Islam will<br />

find the opportunity to disguise themselves as men of dîn.<br />

Organizing insidious offensives camouflaged under religious<br />

admonitions and treatises to pilfer the îmân of the younger<br />

generations piecemeal, they will seduce the people into<br />

perdition and lead the country into destruction.<br />

33 — SECOND VOLUME, 28th LETTER<br />

This letter, written to Mawlânâ Sâdiq Kishmîrî, explains<br />

that souls can take the shapes of objects and that<br />

metempsychosis is not true:<br />

I thank Allâhu ta’âlâ and I invoke a blessing on you. We<br />

have received your kind letter. We have been pleased to know<br />

about the beautiful states you have been in. “I have been<br />

understanding Allâhu ta’âlâ beyond mind, knowledge, kashf,<br />

findings, and beyond the beyonds. So much so that I cannot<br />

believe that His attributes are together with Him. I have been<br />

understanding Him as far from anything, any being,” you say.<br />

This pleases us so much.<br />

Question: It is written in the book Rashahât that Bâbâ Âbrîz<br />

said, “Before there was any man on the earth, when Allâhu<br />

ta’âlâ willed the kneading of Hadrat Adam’s clay, I poured water<br />
