“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)

SUFI TAUHEED

TAUHEED E MEHBOBIAT —this tauheed is learnt from a sufi. Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyah (lordship), Tawheed al-Uloohiyah(worship) and Tawheed al-Asma-wa as-Sifat is learnt from ulema.this tauheed is cream of the tauheed .this tauheed covers all the 3 tauheeds.(2/165,73/8,18/28,)

And there are some amongst the people who take others besides Allah as His partners and love them as it is Allah’s due alone. But those who believe love Allah the most (far more intensely than anyone else)….2/165

And continue remembering the Name of your Lord, devoted completely to Him alone (in your heart and soul), broken away from everyone else.73/8

(O My servant!) Stay tenaciously in the companionship of those who remember their Lord morning and evening, ardently seeking His pleasure, (keen on the glimpse of His sight, and eagerly aspiring to glance at His radiant Countenance). Your (affectionate and caring) looks must not but focus them. Do you seek the charisma of the worldly life (shifting your attention away from these self-denying devotees)? And (also) do not follow him whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance, and who follows but the urge of his (ill-commanding self) and his case has exceeded all bounds.18/28

SHIRKE ISMI OR JALI: It is associating Ghairullah (anything other than Allah) with Allah in worship . all his previous good deeds will be wiped off (habthe a’mal). Confirmed hell forever. May Allah save us all from this(amen).

SHIRKE FI’LI OR KAFI: Praying for the sake of Jannath (heaven) or fearing Jahannam (hell) or Riya (acting to satisfy Ghairullah) also come under this category of Shirk .This does not make one a Mushrik , it does deprive the dharajaths (high positions in Allah’s sight) in the path of Sulook (way towards Allah).

This Shirk is believing or thinking that Ghairullah can give us profit or loss, victory or defeat, good or bad on their own; believing that a Ghairullah, be it a Prophet or a Vali (friend of Allah) can give us gain or loss or act without the power and help of Allah. Even the smallest movement of our fingers is due to Allah providing us His power.

The Mu’jizas and Karamath’s (miracles) of the Prophet’s and Awliya are but the manifestation of Allah’s power through them. they perform it with the help of Allah. If anyone thought that they did it on their own, he falls in Shirke Fi’li.

SHIRKE VASFI OR AKHFA: It is the Shirk that involves the Zaathi Sifath (own characteristics) of Allah. It is thinking or believing that the Ummuhathus Sifath (mother of all characteristics), Hayath, Ilm, Iradha, Khudhrath, sama’ath, basarath and kalam that we find in the creatures are their own. They are in fact Allah’s and He has been merciful to manifest them on His creatures.

Allah sees without eyes, hears without ears, speaks without mouth or sound; His action is without movement.

This Shirk will hinder the ascension of the salik to higher grades of Makame Kurb (status of nearness to Allah).

movements are in fact due to the kuwwath (power) of Allah. The creations use His power to perform actions(good /bad).

Siffath belongs to allah and we find it in the creations are its reflections.We can feel and get excited over these Sifaths coming out of the creations. The existence of all the creations is due to the reflection of His existence and we can feel that too.

Though the power and characteristics we possess are due to the reflection of Allah’s characteristics, in no way Allah is responsible for the bad deeds which we do. We are fully responsible for that.

From where is Allah seeing us and How is He seeing us? Here comes the concept of Allah’s omnipresence. He is with you, wherever you are (Qur’an 57/4).we have eyes in our heart( ability to feel). We can experience the af’al (actions), sifath (characteristics) and the ujoodh of Allah. This feeling can be experienced both in anfus (within ourselves) and in aafaak (outside us).

Spiritual Haj/pilgrimage

Jism/body e hajj= arkaan e hajj like tawaf,saie,mina,Arafat,qurbani etc etc

Ruh/soul e hajj= iqlas e niyyat of heart (haal) , pilgrimage from bad to good ahklaq/character.

Hajj e mabroor/accepted hajj =hajj of those who feed the poor/needy (saqawat) + soft spoken (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)
