"Nobody will prostrate before you if I tell them how merciful you are!" <strong>God</strong> said, “Don’t tell them<br />

anything, and either will I.”<br />

When Zayed was arrested for the third time for consuming alcohol, the Companions <strong>of</strong> the Prophet said,<br />

"Curse him, he repeats this crime time after time.” Prophet Mohammad said, "Do not curse him, for he<br />

loves <strong>God</strong> and His Messenger, and those who love <strong>God</strong> and His Messenger cannot be sent to hellfire."<br />

Verily, <strong>God</strong> loves and takes care <strong>of</strong> all His creation. <strong>God</strong> provides for even the helpless insects that dwell<br />

in stones. As disobedient <strong>of</strong>fspring are punished and disinherited, similarly, <strong>God</strong> becomes a penalizer for<br />

the disobedient and blasphemous ones.<br />

Believe the fact <strong>God</strong> wants to look at you also, but you are either naive, careless or ill-fated. You beautify<br />

and groom your face with soap and cream because people look at it. Have you ever cleansed what <strong>God</strong><br />

wants to look at?<br />

Prophetic Tradition: <strong>The</strong>re is a cleanser for washing up all objects, as for the heart; <strong>God</strong>'s remembrance.<br />

Those who just verbally proclaim and say, “I love you” are merely bluffing. Love is an involuntary gift<br />

that manifests unplanned. You begin to love what dwells in thy heart! Platonic love concerns itself to the<br />

heart. <strong>The</strong> means <strong>of</strong> bringing <strong>God</strong> in the heart are Visualization <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>'s name, <strong>God</strong>'s remembrance<br />

articulated within the heartbeats, and the saints.<br />

<strong>The</strong> engine alone cannot make a vehicle work and it cannot transport anybody to their destination until<br />

other parts <strong>of</strong> the vehicle are also fitted in it. Similarly, Salat (a form <strong>of</strong> worship) is also incomplete<br />

without attainment <strong>of</strong> the mortification <strong>of</strong> the Self (Nafs) and purification <strong>of</strong> the heart. When you think<br />

that without these necessities your worship is sufficient, and that this will earn you the paradise, then why<br />

do you label others as hell-bound when they too worship? <strong>The</strong> difference is one is riding on the donkey <strong>of</strong><br />

Jesus Christ, and the other on the donkey <strong>of</strong> the Anti-Christ. However, both are black and darkened in the<br />

hearts. (Meaning, one has faith in Jesus but is deprived <strong>of</strong> the purification <strong>of</strong> the heart, hence he is fooling<br />

himself into believing that he belongs to Jesus. <strong>The</strong> other one has a troubled heart, hence his heart is<br />

darkened). <strong>The</strong>y follow different creeds only, and the creeds will not go forth but the souls will.<br />

When Salat (a form <strong>of</strong> worship) is confined to verbalization only, and the heart is polluted with absurdities<br />

such as greed and jealousy, it is known as Salat al Surat (worship <strong>of</strong> the body only). Common folks suffer<br />

from this wishful thinking, and continue to be victims <strong>of</strong> sectarianism. <strong>The</strong>ir propagation <strong>of</strong> religion<br />

creates mischief within the religion. For example: you practised a sectarian school <strong>of</strong> thought, and<br />

worshipped for 10-15 years, and later you realized some other sectarian school <strong>of</strong> thought was correct, and<br />

you joined it. It suggests that the previous sect you practised was false. And <strong>God</strong> doesn’t honour any<br />

worship practised under a false belief system. This is how you rejected the worship (Salat) you carried out<br />

for 10-15 years. <strong>The</strong> chances are the new sect you have adopted might as well be a false one. And all your<br />

previous and future worship became a total waste. And at the end <strong>of</strong> the day you found yourself back to<br />

square one where you started from. You should have sought a Spiritual Guide than to waste your precious<br />

time.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tenet <strong>of</strong> His Holiness Gohar Shahi<br />

If the pious ones and the worshippers <strong>of</strong> all religions stand in a row, and <strong>God</strong> is requested to manifest His<br />

accord as to which ones <strong>of</strong> them would He prefer to look at, who would He choose? As you would<br />

involuntarily look at the glittering stars, whether it is Mars, Mercury or an unknown star, in the similar<br />

fashion would <strong>God</strong> look at the enlightened hearts only, whether or not they practise a religion.<br />

Sachal Saanyen said: "When one does not have <strong>God</strong>'s love, Islam hardly differs from the Kufr." Get<br />

from some other translation<br />

You, in search <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>, rush to worship places such as Temples, Churches, and Mosques! Has anyone seen<br />

<strong>God</strong> sitting in any worship place in history? O' Fools! <strong>The</strong> dwelling <strong>of</strong> the Lord is in your heart. Domicile<br />

<strong>God</strong> in your heart; then you shall see that these worship places and its worshippers will run towards you.<br />

Bazied stated, "I circumambulated Kaa'ba (the Muslims’ sacred place <strong>of</strong> worship in Mecca) for some time.<br />

Since <strong>God</strong> inhabited me, Kaa’ba began circumambulating me.” <strong>The</strong> worship places are collection points<br />

for good virtues; whereas, the heart is the Divine Abode. In worship places, you shall call upon <strong>God</strong>. In<br />

the hearts, <strong>God</strong> shall call upon you.
