Let us go through, herewith, the sayings of the Quran, Hadeeth and the sagacious beings about<br />
the knowledge of mysticism and Sufis, “We shall shortly make them see our signs in the universe and in<br />
their own-selves till it shall be evident to them that it is all truth” (Surah-Haa-Meem Sajdah,part:VI). “Those<br />
who strive in it, we shall verily lead them to our path”.”And in this way Ibrahim was shown by us the<br />
domaine of heavens and the earth and they had been stimulant to firm belief.” “No one shall emerge<br />
salvaged excepting a person who should take to Allah with heart of purity”.’’And we taught him from our<br />
possession and knowledge.’’ – (Surah Kahaf, part; 9) – “And he purges you and teaches you the book and<br />
wisdom and teaches you all which knew not.” (Surah Baqra, part: 18), the above Quranic Aayaat unfold the<br />
knowledge of mysticism and give insight to the attributed of the Sufis.<br />
In the book entitled: “Burhaan –ul-Haqaeq” year: 98-99 there is a narration about the Meraaj by the<br />
Chieftain of the Believers, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) that the Revered master, had said,” I saw in the<br />
night of Meraaj my Cherisher In a beautiful figure.” He further said ; ‘’Hence my cherisher regarded me<br />
akin, and became close, so that I achieved the rank of Adnaa ( i.e a near one ) then I achieved the status<br />
of Fatadanna (i.e near ) and then I progressed further from fatadanna and got elevated to the solitude of<br />
the ‘Qaab’ (ends) of the arch or more closer. That means:”I came near, hence, extremely near, so that to<br />
the quantity –size of two arches or even more and my cherisher questioned me something which I could<br />
not reply. Hence, he put his nature’s hand in between my chest and bestowed my nourisher to me the<br />
knowledge of foregones and that of the forthcomings .And he educated me under a knowledge one<br />
particular knowledge and took a pledge of me to keep it a secret. There was yet another knowledge to<br />
which I was held authorized in respect of all significant as well as sundary’’. It is mentioned on page: 54 of<br />
the book entitled :“Yahoo” : “It should be clear that in the night of Meraaj the Almighty taught to Hazrat<br />
Mohammed , Peace Be Upon Him , Ninety Thousands problems and said “O Mohammed ! out of these<br />
ninety thousands problems inform to your ummat thirty thousand problems and never intimate them about<br />
another thirty thousand problems and for rest of the thirty thousand problems it is upto your discretion<br />
whether to intimate them or not “. Out of these, if some Allah’s slave and mortal in divinity of Allah, Fakir<br />
should narrates a problem than nobody believes in it. When our Revered Master, Peace Be Upon Him,<br />
returned from Meraaj, he saw that the saint had actually been uttering exactly the same what Allah the<br />
Almighty has been saying. The Prophet (PBUH) has said: “Abu Bakr (MABPWH) does not enjoy superiority<br />
upon you because of excessive prayers.(i.e Namaaz and fasting but because a confidential thing has been<br />
infused into his heart (Baheqi ) and that confidential thing is knowledge of mysticism (i.e Tasauwuf). Hazrat<br />
Abu Hurayrah (MABPWH) said:’’ I have learnt through the Allah’s Prophet, Peace Be upon Him, two<br />
branches of knowledge, one of them is what I publicise and the another is, if I ever choose to publicise that,<br />
this throat of mine shall be slit.<br />
Someone questioned Hazrat Zunnoon Misri (RA) who are the Sufis? So, replying to it he said ; “<br />
They are people who have opted for Allah the glorified and Almighty out of all things and Allah the purged<br />
one has made them His chosen one against all things “. Someone asked Abdullah Tishtary (RA); ‘’what is<br />
Sufi?’’ Replying to it he said ; “ Sufi is one who should come clean of all stains and get engrossed in<br />
pondering and should be cut of all attributes of mankind in getting closer to the purged God and in his<br />
vision soil and gold ought to be one and the same.” Hazrat Abu Hafas Haddad defined this particular<br />
knowledge with these brief sentences: “Hama Oost”, meanings =“Allah that is all.” Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi<br />
(RA) at one occassion defined sufi as=” one whose heart should be isolated from all worldly effections lIke<br />
Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) and should be executor of the glorifed Allah’s will ,his education should be like that of<br />
