Guided people
1.never incurred the displeasure and wrath of god (allah is pleased with them)
2.never strayed from straight path(god has guaranteed them achievement /perfection and evil power cannot seduce them)
Ideal of man’s effort is the realization of god’s pleasure.
Models of perfection are the blessed people (anbiya and awliya-siddiqeen,shuhada and saleheen) like how children are impressed with parents and teachers .
Following anbiya and awliya leads to realization of god’s pleasure.
God doesnot take a human form (god cannot be limited with flesh and blood)
Therefore a living practical model of perfection must be a special human (carriers of divine message).
Life of ihsan /prophetic life
1.Sacrificeing your will /desires/interest(self negation)
2.Submission with love
3.living for others
Highest of benevolence is of prophets .
Mode of conduct of prophets =ihsan/benevolence
Prophetic lives are unconditional obedience and surrender to the will of god.
Lives of the believers reflect the life of the prophet himself.

Voluntary Starvation-based on will and choice (GREAT) AND Compulsive starvation –forced upon without any choice .
Spiritual realization =destruction of the self AND Spiritual fulfillment =physical negation

Any one who turns to god ,god turns to him.
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)
