Nafs And Heart Owner-Servant
“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)
THE JOURNEY OF HEART (OWNER) AND NAFS(SERVANT)
Sin has 2 parts 1.zahir (action) 2.batin(reason/waswas)
Knowledge has 2 parts 1.zahir(book/proof) 2.batin (heart/spiritual/profitable)
Amaal/deeds are zahir but niyyat is baatin.
Abu huraira (ra) said he was blessed with 2 kinds of knowledge, one which he disclosed and second, if opens/speaks up, people will kill him (bukhari)
Quran has zahir and batin meanings . prophet gave 9 portions of knowledge out of 10 to ali(as) alone.rest of the world got 1 portion of ilm/knowledge. You will never get misguided if you follow quran and ahle baith. Quran and ahle baith will lead you to kousar .
Learn quran with mohbat e ahle baith.
Haqiqat is behind veils .
Ilm e shariat/zahiri ilm( common to all)
Ilm e haqiqat /baatini ilm ( chosen people –who are seekers of this knowledge)
Taurat/old testament =book of laws/shariat
Ingil/bible/new testament=book of wisdom/hikmat
Quran = all the books (zabur/taurat/ingil/sahifas(booklets)) are present in it.
Taqwa(hal e dil ie why/reasoning of heart ) +husne kulq(big hearted/saqawat/wuswate dil)=wilayat (ie no I/myself)
Saqawate nafs- bighearted/wuswate e dil
Salamate sudur=no heart dieseases(hasd/gibat etc etc)
Rahmate muslimeen= good towards every muslim
Always treat bad with good = wali
JOURNEY STARTS
Allah sent heart and nafs on a journey towards sangam (body and ruh).heart carried its sustainance (marifat/zikr/qurb of allah ) along with it.
Heart and nafs started their journey from alaame arwah .allah created nafs,ruh,qalb in alaame arwah(qalu bala )
Body(nasoot/worldly) +ruh(malakut/angelic) =duniya (alaame shahadat-full of desires/entertaining/pleasures )
Heart gave its sustainance to nafs (servant).
Heart is alive because of sustainance (marifat/qurb/zikr of allah-yaad e elahi)
For a while heart took a nap/break on journey giving its sustainance to nafs to safeguard it .nafs was misled by shaitan so nafs lost the sustainance .ie nafs and heart lost their sustainance (marifat/yaad e ilahi) in this duniya .
Nafs doesnot sleep .those hearts which doesnot sleep are spiritual hearts.(heart of a prophet never sleeps)
Nafs saw sustainance was lost at duniya (sangam =ruh + body )
Nafs was attacked by shaitan .shaitan induced gaflat/heedlessness via nafs on heart.shaitan cannot attack heart .heart is very latif/subtle in nature .shaitan attacks its servant (the nafs) and induces gaflat/heedlessness .
Nafs knows loss of sustanance .when heart woke up after heedlessness/nap/gaflat asked for sustainance (marifat)
By the grace of Allah heart came to know about loss of sustainance.nafs blamed loss of sustainance on shaitan.
Journey of heart and nafs towards sangam is a very long journey (don’t think you have travelled a long distance meaning don’t boost yourself that you have worshipped allah a lot –this will lead to heedlessness /gaflat )
Don’t consider amaal/deeds (ie I have worshipped or I have done so much of good work etc etc it’s a gaflat/heedlessness)while travelling on this journey.
If heart sleeps you will lose track. Keep heart alive with marifat/zikr of allah.
Heart said we lost our sustainance lets go back and collect from where we had lost it.
You cannot travel/sulook without sustainance (marifat/zikr/yaad elahi)
Yaad e elahi is fitrate ula (alam e quds –where marifat e elahi /zikrullah is present)
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)
