Muhammad (alaihissalâm). Hadrat Khwâja Muhammad Pârisâ,
one of the great Awliyâ educated by Hadrat Bahâaddîn-i
Naqshibandî Bukhârî, a great Awliya, a diver into the ocean of
tasawwuf, says in his book Fusûl-i sittâ, “Hadrat Îsâ will
descend from Heaven, will act according to the madhhab of
Imâm-i Abû Hanîfa, will say halâl about what he said was halâl,
and will say harâm about what he said was harâm.”
ANGELS: They are the precious born servants of Allahu
ta’âlâ. Some of them have been honoured with conveying
information to other angels and to His prophets
(alaihimussalâm) among mankind. They do what they are
commanded to do. They do not revolt. They do not eat or drink.
They do not get married. They are neither male nor female.
They do not have children. They carried the (heavenly) books
and pages. Because they are trustworthy, what they convey is
true. To be a Muslim, it is necessary to believe in angels in this
manner. According to the majority of the savants of the right

beings struggle against the Devil and their own nafs, they are
exalted, though they are in need. But angels were created
exalted. Angels say tasbîh and taqdîs [1] . Yet it is peculiar to the
higher ones from among human beings to add jihâd to it. Allahu
ta’âlâ declares in the ninety-fourth âyat of Sûrat-un-Nisâ, as
interpreted: “Those Muslims who perform jihâd, who war
against the enemies of religion by sacrificing their
possessions and lives for Allah’s sake, are more exalted
than those who do not go out, but instead only worship. I
promise Paradise for all of them.”
All of what the Mukhbir-i sâdiq ‘alaihi wa ’alâ âlihi-s-salâtu
wa-s-salâm’ (he who always tells the truth (the Prophet)
communicated about the grave, Resurrection, Hashr
(assembling in the space of Arasât after the Resurrection),
Nashr (dispersing after the settling of accounts to go into
Paradise or Hell), and about Paradise and Hell, is true.
Believing in the next world, like believing in Allahu ta’âlâ, is a
principle of îmân. He who disbelieves in the next world is a
[1] The words ‘tasbîh’ and ‘taqdîs’ are used in the same meaning. Though
there is a very delicate difference between their meanings, they both
mean ‘without any fault or defect.’
