In the End Times<br />

In the end, <strong>God</strong> will send forth one <strong>of</strong> the above mentioned souls. He will find and unite them<br />

together. And He will remind them that they also once loved <strong>God</strong>. All such souls whether or not they<br />

are religious will attend to his call, and flock around Him. He will grant them a unique name <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>,<br />

which will pass through their hearts and settle in their souls. <strong>The</strong> souls will constantly engage with the<br />

repetition <strong>of</strong> that name (the soul will become a permanent Dhakir). <strong>The</strong> unique name <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> will<br />

confer on them a brand new enthusiasm, a new power and a new definition <strong>of</strong> love. <strong>The</strong> Noor (Divine<br />

Energy) <strong>of</strong> the unique name <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> will reconnect the soul with <strong>God</strong>.<br />

Dhikr Qalb (Invocation <strong>of</strong> the Heart) serves like an intermediary ladder to obtaining Dhikr Rouh<br />

(Invocation <strong>of</strong> the Soul), just as the rituals <strong>of</strong> Salat (a form <strong>of</strong> worship) and fasting are means <strong>of</strong> obtaining<br />

the Invocation <strong>of</strong> the Heart. If the soul <strong>of</strong> an individual has learnt to invoke <strong>God</strong>, he is among those who<br />

shall have no fear <strong>of</strong> accountability and the Divine Scale on the Day <strong>of</strong> Judgment. <strong>The</strong> advanced stages <strong>of</strong><br />

invocation and worship <strong>of</strong> soul confirm his elevated rank. Individuals that are progressing in spirituality<br />

from the heart towards the soul are among those who have entered the <strong>Religion</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> or are about to<br />

enter it. <strong>The</strong>ir means <strong>of</strong> guidance is <strong>God</strong>'s Light, not the Books. <strong>God</strong>'s Light, itself keeps them away from<br />

committing sins. And those who, even by striving or by learning about it, are deprived <strong>of</strong> this spiritual<br />

status, are not included in this Spiritual League. Heretics are those that, without invocation <strong>of</strong> the heart<br />

and the soul, consider themselves among those in this Spiritual League or imitate them. <strong>The</strong> means <strong>of</strong><br />

salvation for common folks is worship and religion. <strong>The</strong> means <strong>of</strong> guidance are the Celestial Books. <strong>The</strong><br />

means <strong>of</strong> intercession are through the Prophets and the Saints. Many Muslims do not accept the fact that<br />

the Saints can provide people with intercession to <strong>God</strong>. However, Prophet Mohammad advised his<br />

companions to request Owais Qarni to provide his Ummah with intercession to <strong>God</strong>.<br />

"<strong>Religion</strong> <strong>of</strong> Souls"<br />

Recognition <strong>of</strong> the followers <strong>of</strong> Deen-e-Ilahi, "<strong>Religion</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>."<br />

Into which all the rivers merge is known as an ocean, and into which all the religions merge is<br />

the <strong>Religion</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>.<br />

This is the divine avenue where all four religions intermingle (Sultan Haq Bahu).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Elementary stage <strong>of</strong> Recognition<br />

When both the heart and the soul are revived with <strong>God</strong>'s remembrance, whether it is through performance<br />

<strong>of</strong> worship or through the merciful sight <strong>of</strong> the Spiritual Guide, in both cases, it is predestined. <strong>The</strong> seeker<br />

begins to disapprove <strong>of</strong> sins and if a sin is committed, he feels blameworthy and makes efforts to avoid it<br />

in future.<br />

<strong>God</strong> says: I like those individuals also who exert themselves to refrain from sins.<br />

Love <strong>of</strong> the world starts to leave <strong>of</strong>f the heart, and <strong>God</strong>'s love starts to prevail. <strong>The</strong> seeker begins to feel he<br />

is getting rid <strong>of</strong> greed, jealousy, stinginess and false pride. <strong>The</strong> tongue quits backbiting. <strong>The</strong> seeker<br />

observes humility in him. Stinginess is replaced by generosity, and the lies leave <strong>of</strong>f. Prohibited carnal<br />

desires are replaced by lawful ones. <strong>The</strong> seeker begins to disapprove <strong>of</strong> unlawful wealth, prohibited<br />

provision and actions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ultimate stage <strong>of</strong> Recognition<br />

One completely quits hashish, opium, heroin, tobacco and alcohol. One meets highly Spiritual dignitaries<br />

in dreams, meditation and through Spiritual Insight. Nafs Ammara (<strong>The</strong> Commanding Self) turns into<br />

Nafs Mutma'inna (<strong>The</strong> Contented Self). <strong>The</strong> Ana enters in a private audience with <strong>God</strong>, all the veils<br />

between <strong>God</strong> and the man are lifted. One shuns the sins. One obtains the Ultimate Station in <strong>God</strong>'s love<br />

and union with Him. He turns into a Provider from being a simple man.
