is not so easy either. popular saying goes:”establish ties with peers after, identifying and drink water after
satisfying your self).” One who happens to be a perfected peer, he doesnot keep himself showing up his
commanding achievements to all. This clearly indicates that those who go on showing their commanding
achievements are actually not the perfected peers. The attributes of a perfected peer are described as in
under that, he shall be leading a life of the simpleton and common people and over and above everything
he shall not indulge in anything ultra virus the Shariyah. He shall give preference to maintaining respect
and honour of the senior people and offer services help to the poor and destitute sections in the society.
He shall not have the least liking to proud and hypocricy. He shall talk of about Quran and the Hadeeth. He
shall be an enlightened person unto Allah. And he shall be an embodiment of appeasement, and humanity.
He shall be a man of living heart and a dead of of the self- and he shall be a revivalist of sunnahs of the
Messenger (PBUH) and a terminator of the bida’ats.
A DISCIPLE IS A FREE-PERSON: - In terminologies the term ‘Baa’ means: sold-out and Ba’et means a
pledge of obedience. A disciple (i.e. mureed) who has undertaken a ‘Baet’ with the peer in order to realize
his desire (as mentioned above) he believes at the moment (that his desire shall be fulfilled. However,
when the disciple is not realizing it despite his approaching to the peer and the faith he had reposed in the
peer does not remain intact. Once the faith in peer is declined he starts locating, one after another, a lotof
short coming in the peer. If actually there is exists in a peer anything of the sort than it is alright. Otherwise,
there are strong chances of such a disciple meeting a doom. The relationship is to see a peer and his
thrives on faith reposed. Should the faith wipe out, why then one should spoil his life in vain-then it
becomes vital to out off the link with peer and go somewhere else to fulfill his desire. Backbiting is a major
sin and backbiting of a guiding saint is a sin equaling the sin of destroying Kaaba-shareef for seventy
times.
O dear! In this manner there are double advantages of a disciple staying free, for both the peer and the
disciple. Of the peer sahib is showing negligence and deviated from moving in the footsteps of the old
days, ancestors-saints, then he shall get an opportunity to step out of negligence and imaort proper
guidelines and the disciple too shall seize upon an opportunity to hunt, once again, for his destination and
status. It shall be borne in mind that the course of being a peer and disciple is not a contracting nature of
work-it is one’s offering services.
A prostration is meant to be for Allah only: - The glorified-entity of Allah is not only a deity of all but. He
alone is the Masjood the power deserving every body’s prostration. Should anyone bow down in
prostration to someone other than the Masjood? It amounts to be infidelity (i.e.Kufr) in the Islamic shariyat.
In yet another Hadeeth it is narrated through the revered master that:”if prostration to someone other than
Allah was legitimate. I would have ordered women to offer prostration to their husbands. In old days people
are bound to offer prostrations to their parents, teacher and king. But in the purged Islamic-shariyah
prostration to anyone other than Allah has been rendered forbidden and paying respect and kissing of the
elderlies is held desireable. And salutation, offering of blessings and ‘Maaeneque’ (i.e meeting by chest
amongst the people equal in age is Sunnah).
