Tawhid Tawhid ehne kahiye je chhe Khuda na muka gar chhe khuda nathi pun janje khuda chhe

this than is OUR DEEN The Essence – the Truth – the Haqiqat

Our DEEN comprises of shariat of all notaqa beginning from Nabi Adam (SA) and finding ultimate zenith in the shariat of khatamun Nabi Mohammad (SA)

apne sagla notaqa ne sachaviye chhe

Our belief is that the shariat of Adam (SA) was complete in itself, at that period of time , likewise the shariat of all the Nabi following him was complete in itself.

Example : The development of the child in the mothers womb. 1st month -what ever is required for the nourishment and the development of the child is very much there - complete in all respect - in the 1st month.

Likewise, the 2nd month is inclusive of the growth and nourishment of the 1st month and the requirement of the 2nd month.

In a sense complete in itself. Like wise all the following months till the 6th month.

Our DEEN is complete in all aspects - now nothing more is to be added to the all inclusive shariat of Rasul Allah (SA)

The Growth of DEEN - the ma’ad (return to the place of GRACE -

Alam ul Ibda (the Pelorama) from which we had fallen

THE DEEN IS COMPLETE WITH RASULALAH (SA) till the date of Qayamat

everything has been crystallized NOW COMES OUR INDVIDUAL PURSUIT TO RETURN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

TO OUR ORIGINAL ABODE ALAM UL IBDA

what we need now for our return journey is

THE VALAYAT OF MOULANA ALI (SA)

THE IMAMS (SA)

and DOAT UL MUTLAQEEN

Now true VALAYAT of DAI UZ ZAMAN is sufficient enough for a mumin to qualify his entry into JANNAH - no doubt what so ever in this. VALAYAT is the bedrock.

Muqaddas Moula Taher Saifudin saheb (RA) has said : (not the exact words) mumin na dil ma jo hamari faqt mohabbat hase, gar chey ehna aamal ghanaj kum athva kusurvar hase, thena bavajud, mumin, hamari ikhlas thi mohabbat na sabab JANNAT ma dakhil thai gayo.

However, the Ahadees of Rasul Allah (SA) ‘ talabatul Ilm farizato mumin wa muslemah’ makes it imperative on us all to seek true knowledge.

There are different stations of JANNAH and in order to achieve those exalted stations, to experience the supreme bliss and joy, to aspire for the nearness of Awliyah Kiram, to be in the sacrosanct and holy of the holies place, the inner circle of JANNAH – we have to actively pursue the Ilm of TAWHID

TRUE Ilm of Tawhid is attained by being fully focused and it is attained by acquiring from house of Ilm e A’la Mohammad (SA)

Now this presentation , is for all those who want to undertake this enriching journey of understanding and enlightment.

SO LET US START WITH HAMD OF ALLAH Now seeing all the strife and pain in this world, the futility of all this

A question comes up in many a mind A simple and straight forward one

many are afraid to ask, but others do askWHY DID ALLAH HAVE TO CREATE THIS WORLD OF STRIFE AND

SEEMING FUTILITY – WHY OH WHY ? A GOOD QUESTION INDEED VERY DIFFICULT TO ANSWER

SIMPLY PUT - I KNOW NOT – ALLAH KNOWS BEST

HOWEVER, OUR DEEN HAS ANSWERS WITH MY VERY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE

I WILL TRY TO ANSWER AND HOPE IT WILL HELP IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING

PLOTINUS - the founder of Neo-Platonism , whose philosophy had a great influence on shi’hi Islamism gives one reason – ALLAH knows best, but here

we are trying to understand to the best of our abilityat least we are making a honest attempt One of the reason is ‘bonum diffusm sui ‘

which means GOOD DIFFUSES ITSELF What it means is that ALLAH WHO IS EMBODIMENT OF GOOD

COULD NOT CONTAIN HIMSELF TO HIMSELF IT WAS IN NO WAY LIMITING - HE COULDHAVE CONTAINED

BUT HE WILLED FOR THE OUTFLOW THE EMANATION AS PER THE THEORY OF EMANATION

BY PLOTINUS IN HIS ‘ENNEADS’ THIS UNIVERSAL TRUTH CAN BE EASILY FOUND IN OUR DAILY LIVES

GOOD WILL ALWAYS DIFFUSE THERE WILL ALWAYS BE AN OUTFLOWING

IT WILL THOUCH AND REFRESH AND ENRICH MANY A LIVES THE LIVING PRESENCE OF AQA MOULA (TUS)

THE RADIANCE THAT EMANATES IN HIS HAZARAT IS ONE GOOD EXAMPLE

When Allah - glory be to Him! - willed that the source of His most Beautiful Names - which are beyond enumeration - be seen (or you can equally say that He willed His source to be seen), He willed that they be seen in a microcosmic being which contained the entire matter, (1) endowed with existence, and through which His secret was manifested to Him. For how a thing sees itself through itself is not the same as how it sees itself in something else which acts as a mirror for it.

S o here we have another understanding that ALLAH WILLED HIS SOURCE TO BE SEEN

TO BE MANIFESTED SO HE CREATED A SHAFFAF SPACE

A MIRROR IN OUR DAILY PARLANCE SO THAT HE CAN SEE HIS TAJJALLI

Now this is what Al – Arabi has to say in his Book : Fusus al –Hikam

To any one who really wants to understand TAWHID I would highly recommend the reading of NASIHAT of Sayedi Sadik Ali Saheb .

In very easy to understand lyrical language he makes us understand the TAWHID of Allah – its true meaning as stated in the start of my presentation

Knowledge is not hidden - he says ‘aakas hidayat na varse chhe…’we are to blame if we keep our container upside down.

here I am not talking of “Haqiqat sabaks’ the entire presentation is based on published material accessible on the Net , published Books and most important in the Noorani

bayan mubarak of Aqa Moula (TUS) in numerous vaaz mubarak.

TAWHID What is Tawhid ? Let us delve a little deeper in our understanding of TawhidWords are mere signposts, but they help us in our understanding .

TAWHID comes from the Arabic word ‘ Wahid’ or’ Ahad’It has 3 parts

ALLAH IS THE CREATOR ALLAH IS THE SUSTAINER ALLAH IS THE PRESERVER

HE IS THE RABB ‘Alhamdolilah Rabbil A’lamin’ (Rabb of the worlds)

HE is everywhere by HIS Knowledge – by HIS Mercy- HE looks after everything But HE is

Not part of the worlds (A’lams) HE IS DISTINCT FROM IT

He is the CREATOR but is not a part of HIS Creation A’lam e Ibda – A’lam e Roohani and Jismul Mutlaq – the total body

‘jehna A’ashir ne hawala chhe’

TAWHID implies the unity, coherence and harmony , between all the parts of the Universe . Everything is related to the same Origin and Source, every constituent of

the world is the part of the same whole, and all parts constitute one Unity.

There is a purpose and meaning to the entire Universe, a meaning and purpose that can be seen in some of the parts.

All are the creation of one and the same ALLAH and all are uniform in their fundamental essence.

All reality issues from the ONE - Who is the sole Absolute Reality, which is also Absolute Beauty

Plato ‘ Beauty is in the splendor of Truth’

In the following slides we will be a witness to this truth of Plato Everything in the Cosmos is the result of the this reflection or thophany (tajalli)

The first emanation - the tajalli in Aqal Aw’wal We have being trying to understand TAWHID with the help of words

Now in the following slides we will understand Tawhid with splendid images Of the Universe

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This isthe “I Am” that is deeper than name and form.

Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are being perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world.

You are that awareness, disguised as a person.From the Book: The Stillness Speaks - Eckhart Tolle Note : It is suggested to play the pptx: SPACE (1)

Before we start to see some breathtaking pictures of the Cosmos taken by the HUBBLE let us become still - let us BE IN THE NOW – THE PRESENT – let us shut off

all the mind clatter , so that our subconscious reveals its self As you become still and focused IN THE NOW

and watch the Space Slide Show -You will surely grasp the The Truth which is also beauty as said by Plato

Of TAWHiD just listen to this sound clip - it will take you in the NOW

So you have just been a witness to the beauty and vastness of the COSMOS .But the truth is that modern science speaks of the vastness in a quantitative manner -It deals with only one level of cosmic existence , no matter how many zeros it adds to distances in galactic and interstellar space – but the whole of the material universe, no matter how extended its physical dimensions might be……………

Is like a speck of dust before the grandeur of the World of Spirit

and our DEEN is primarily concerned with the A’lam more grandmore luminous and Everlasting

Now let us turn our attention to that A’lam e roohani With the help of the powerful HUBBLE Telescope, it was possible to witness the

beauty and vastness of the COSMOS Now in order to understand the Truths contained in our DEEN

Let us take up the Nashihat of Syedi Sadik Ali Saheb

The spiritual outflow of verses will indeed present before you a visual panorama of the haqiqat that happened in the archangelic pleroma

A’lam ul Ibda

So in how simple, lucid verses Sayedi Sadik Ali Saheb with the help of words visualizes the Haqiqat Truths . If one is to re read the verses of this Nashihat several

times, he will definitely understand the truths. We did not listen to Moulana A’shir in the roohani A’lam

we were obstinate, unrelenting But all the same Moulana A’shir loved us, he was so very understanding

so appropriately Sayedi Sadik Ali Saheb says: ‘laachar thai nakha aa duniya na ghara ma’

He becomes the demiurge “aa duniya na A’shir ne hawala chhe’

Hayula (The Total Body – Jismul Mutlaq) ma thi Moula A’shir tadbeer e a’khir kari sagla ja’no ne roohani ni A’lam taraf walse

Here let me again recall the nasihat of Syedi Sadik ali Saheb , at the very begging of the presentation

‘tawhid ehne kahye je chhe khuda na muka gar chhe khuda nathi, pan janje khuda chhe ‘

so true Tawhid in our age is the faith and loveFor our beloved Aqa Moula (TUS)

Here let me share my thoughts expressed in the voice clipA’alam ul Ibda (duration 14 min)

If one has heard the voice clip with due attention, the bayan mubarak of Aqa Moula (TUS) is very easy to understand , it is the essence of truth, it is all pervasive, and

exudes the fragrance of an enlightened soul. Here I would like to draw the attention to the depth and all encompassing beauty of

OUR DEEN In the Book Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle – who is regarded as one of the most

influential Spiritual Teacher of Modern Age, a question is put forward to him ‘Does God need time for personal growth ?’

The immediate answer given by Eckhart is YES but he seems to be all confused to explain why GOD should need time and space for

growth . It appears to be blasphemy. It means GOD is not perfect !!In the next 2 pages of the book (pages 82 & 83) he tries to explain, but not

convincingly. The reason is that GOD in all other monolithic religion except Islam, has a restricted meaning.

Now friends, GOD is not MUBDE HAQ SUBHANAHU - THE ONE who is beyond our understanding and comprehension.

GOD if understood as the 3rd Archangel – Adam e Ruhani – Moulana A’shir – the Spiritual Adam – the demiurge of our world

YES in a sense HE needs time for personal growth. HE has to ascend to the position in Al’am ul Ibda. HE has to ascend to his original position .

Words are a ’tool’ in the understanding of Truths . But in Islam the words themselves are full of deep meaning. As the subject is TAWHID let me show you the depth of the word ALLAH in Arabic with reference to the commonly used word GOD .Bring your complete awareness and just look at the word for a few seconds. Just look.

Here you have it The essence of ALLAH -

wahdahu la sharika laka

remains even if individual Arabic alphabets are removed

Lil’lah

Il’lah and

‘hu’

All meaning ALLAH

Now let us do a similar exercise with the words representing the SUPREME BEING JEHOVA in Judaism

AHURA MAZDA in Zoroastrianism

GOD in Christianity

BHAGWAN in Hinduism

BEING in modern Spiritual thinking

Just try removing the alphabets

does the essence remains the same

obviously it does not

this than my friends is

The Beauty – Depth - Truth

of our DEEN

Our Moula (TUS) is mufa’t-tarazul –taa’atThis than is the true TAWHID

He says like all the Doat Mutlaqeens have said :I am doing the tadbeer

Just keep me in your heart and gazeI will surely bring you to me I will surely bring you to me .

He is the only one who will take us back to our vatan e kadeem this than is TAWHID in its all encompassing sense.
