Iman-Ishq Source Of Life
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
CONCERNING LOVE/MOHABBAT (source of life)
Believers who love Allah (swt) are of two kinds — (1) those who regard the favour and beneficence of Allah (swt) towards them, and are led by that regard to love the Benefactor; (2) those who are so enraptured by love that they reckon all favours ( thinking that his actions were not worthy of Allah (swt)’s acceptance).
love meaning God’s kindness (special privileges) on those whom He chooses and causes to attain the perfection of saintship.
When allah loves some one all his creation in sky and earth will start loving that servant of allah ( that servants love is installed in the hearts, by allah)When allah hates some one all his creation in sky and earth will start hateing that servant of allah ( that servants hatred is installed in the hearts, by allah)
Servant seeks allah’s favour by works of supererogation/nafil until allah loves him.when allah loves him ,allah becomes his hearing and his sight and his hand and his helper.
‘Whoever despises any of My friends has declared war against Me, I do not hesitate in anything as I hesitate to seize the soul of My faithful servant.
My servant seeks My favour is more pleasing to Me than the performance of the obligations which I have laid upon him;
(HEART-SPIRIT-SOUL-BODY)/(UNION-PROXIMITY-LOVE-PRAYER)
Allah imprisoned the heart in the spirit(lower self/nafs/ego) and the spirit in the soul(upper self/ruh) and the soul in the body; then He mingled reason (‘aql) with them, and sent prophets and gave commands.
The body betook itself to prayer,
the soul attained to love,
the spirit arrived at proximity to God,
the heart found rest in union with Him.
Ilm with adab (obedience )=knowing
Ibadat with mohabbat(no complaints)=performing duty
Iman with amal(with haal/state of heart)=accepting
Amal with taqwa (avoiding sins)=performing deeds
Taqwa with mujahida(struggle)=ahklaq
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
