TRANSLATION of 83rd LETTER Hadrat Muhammad Ma’thûm delivers the following discourse in the eighty-third letter of the second volume: If a person has had the following two blessings, he should not be sorry for not having any spiritual ecstasies and raptures. One of these two blessings is “adapting oneself to Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’, who is the owner of the Sharî’at.” The second one is “loving one’s master, one’s murshid.” These two blessings will make one attain all sorts of happiness and fayz. [1] If a person lacks one of these two blessings, he will end up in a disaster. His knowledge, his piety, or his spiritual devotion and ability to display miracles, no matter to what extent, will not avert this disastrous termination from him. And what would most fatally damage these two blessings and put them in jeopardy of vanishing is being in close contact with irreligious and heretical people, or with their books, [newspapers], and all sorts of publication. We should keep away from such depraved people like bewaring of a lion. We should read books written by the ’Ulamâ of Ahl-as-sunna [or by those true Muslims who are correct both in îmân and in their ways of worshipping]. For those who wish to read books written by these great people, we recommend that they read the book (Mektûbât), by Imâm-i Rabbânî. [2] [The books published by Ikhlâs Waqf are the translations of these true ’Ulamâ. For those who wish to learn Islam correctly, we recommend that they read these books.] The knowledge of qadâ and qader (fate, destiny) is extremely delicate, subtle, and difficult to understand. It has been forbidden through hadîth-i-sherîfs to talk about it or to discuss it. Muslims’ duty is to learn the commandments and prohibitions of Allâhu ta’âlâ and to live up to them. We have been commanded to [1] After a Muslim has adapted himself completely to the Sharî’at of Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm, inexplicable pieces of knowledge begin to pour into his heart. This occult, esoteric and subtle kind of knowledge is called fayz, pronounced /feiz/. [2] Imâm-i-Rabbânî Ahmad Fârûqî is one of the greatest ’Ulamâ of Ahl as-sunna and Awliyâ brought up and educated in India. He passed away in Sirhind city in 1034 [A.D. 1624]. – 408 –
elieve in qadâ and qader, not to study them. We have to learn about them as much as the ’Ulamâ of Ahl as-sunna have taught us and believe in them in such a manner as prescribed by the ’Ulamâ of Ahl as-sunna. As these true scholars [and experts of Islamic teachings] state, Allâhu ta’âlâ knew in the eternal past all the future good and evil deeds of mankind. When their time comes He wills their creation, and creates them. His creation is called Taqdîr (Divine Dispensation). He, alone, is the Creator, the Inventor. There is no creator besides Him. No man can create anything. Ignorant and idiotic votaries of the sects of Mu’tazila and Qaderiyya have denied qadâ and qader. They have asserted that man creates his own deeds. Such heretics have been on the increase recently. Man’s will and option assumes a certain role in the creation of everything good or evil. When man wants to do something, Allâhu ta’âlâ creates it if He, too, wishes it. Man’s will and option is called kasb (acquisition). This means to say that every action, everything man does, is actuated by Allah’s creation upon man’s acquisition (option). The torment that will be inflicted on the murderer is a punishment of his acquisition (option). Sectarians called Jabriyya (necessarians or necessitarians) have denied man’s will and acquisition. They have maintained that “Allah creates all of man’s deeds, regardless of whether man wishes or not. Everything man does is like the swaying of trees and leaves with the wind. Every action is done under Allah’s compulsion. Man cannot do anything.” These statements are kufr (disbelief). And a person who holds such a belief will become a kâfir (disbeliever). According to these people, “Those who perform good deeds shall be rewarded in the hereafter. Sinners shall not be tormented. Disbelievers, wrongdoers, sinners shall not be tormented because the (real) maker of their sins is Allâhu ta’âlâ. So these people have had to commit these sins.” Such misbelievers have been cursed by all Prophets. <strong>Could</strong> it ever be said that the (involuntary) trembling of the feet and moving them voluntarily were the same things? The ninety-second and ninety-third âyats of (Hijr) sûra purport, “Allâhu ta’âlâ will interrogate them for all of their deeds.” The twenty-fourth âyat of (Wâqi’a) sûra purports, “They shall pay for what they have done.” The twenty-ninth âyat of (Kahf) sûra purports, “Let him who wishes, have îmân; and let him who wills, deny. We have prepared Hell fire for those who deny.” Some miscreants and heretics, in order to shirk the toil of obeying the commandments and prohibitions of Allâhu ta’âlâ and – 409 –
