The shortest way for mind’s believing the Prophet easily and<br />

to form of a perfect îmân in the heart is the dhikr of Allâhu<br />

ta’âlâ. The thirtieth âyat of Ra’d Sûra purports: “Be it known<br />

well that hearts will attain serenity and ease with dhikr!” In<br />

other words, they will attain perfect îmân. It is difficult, very<br />

difficult to reach this high rank by thinking, by measuring with<br />

mind.<br />

Couplet:<br />

A rationalist’s feet are made of wood.<br />

So, it is impossible to claim them to be sound.<br />

I would like to add that a person who follows the Prophet’s<br />

way and adapts himself to the Prophet in everything he does by<br />

accepting and confirming the fact that the Prophet has been<br />

sent by Allah and is always true in his words after thinking over<br />

it for a long time has done everything thoughtfully, and he has<br />

followed mind in everything. His following each word of the<br />

Prophet means to follow mind. If the human mind understands<br />

and accepts the existence of something it has also understood<br />

and accepted the existence of the parts which issue from that<br />

thing and which make up that thing. It does not need to<br />

understand the existence of each of the parts by studying,<br />

thinking over them one by one. Since it has accepted the<br />

existence of that thing after observation, it will be deemed to<br />

have accepted all the parts after observation. Thanks be to<br />

Allâhu ta’âlâ, Who has blessed us with this right way! If he had<br />

not guided us to the right way, none of us could have attained<br />

to the right way. All prophets were sent by Allah. We believe<br />

that they all said the truth. Our salâm be upon those who are on<br />

the right way!<br />

10 — FIRST (4th) VOLUME, 14th LETTER BY<br />

QAYYÛM-I RABBÂNÎ MUHAMMAD MA’THÛM FÂRÛQÎ<br />

Informs about how to hold fast to the Sharî’at and about<br />

the importance of namâz:<br />

The letter has arrived, which you, remembering this man<br />

forgotten in some nook, sent through my brother Mawlânâ<br />

Muhammad Hanîf Kâbilî. Reading it, we were very much<br />

pleased. And reading about your attachment to Allâhu ta’âlâ,<br />

who has no partner or likeness, and about the fact that you<br />

have been burning with the fire of His love, we rejoiced all the<br />

more. What a great blessing it is if Allâhu ta’âlâ places His love<br />
