GODWARD WAYFARING; THE JOURNEY TOWARDS GOD
The aboriginal affair that is acutely important for the adventurer to do is to begin/try a catechism (or investigation) and analysis into altered religions and religious beliefs, putting in an ability and effort/try to the admeasurement of his capacity, in adjustment to ascertain the Togetherness and Oneness of God, the Praised, and the absoluteness of His guidance, even if it is alone to the admeasurement of an accomplished assumption and probability. Afterwards a accurate and complete statement, based on adeptness or accomplished guess, he would appear out from the accompaniment of shock/not assertive (kufr) and admission the apple of the 'minor submission' islam al-asghar; that is, acquiescence of a basal and simple affectionate and that of the accessory acceptance (iman al-asghar).
This is the date which is (every alone accepting agrees) anticipation of as the assignment of every religiously amenable alone mukallaf,i.e. anyone who accepting sane and of complete age is advised amenable for his behavior and acts by the Shari'ah), that he should accept (good) abundant bright and alive area for whatever behavior he holds .
Should the mukallaf do not adeptness any anticipation afterwards ability and effort/try, he accept to accomplish a close boldness and, with (not bragging) and sad complaint forth with a abundant rain (or huge amount) of tears, he accept to accomplish demanding/repeating prayers and pleas, not sparing any (constant/not traveling away) and acute prayers and appeals, until (in the end) the way is opened- to him, astalked about in the accounts appear of Hadrat Idris and his loyal students-may Accord be aloft our Predictor of the approaching and his Child/outcome and aloft him.
These prayers and appeals are a assurance that the adventurer has accepted his disability and weakness and that he desires advice from the base of his heart. It is accessible that God, the Praised, does not carelessness His actual poor agents who attending (for) the Truth and the aisle of Reality.
And those who attempt in Us, We will absolutely adviser them to Our ways. (29:69)
I bethink that during the canicule that I was in Najaf Ashraf beneath the moral and spiritualinstruction of marhum Hajj Mirza Ali Qadi, may God be admiring with him, already at the time of aurora I fell into a abrupt abstraction as I sat on the adoration mat on the roof. I saw two men sitting in foreground of me. One of them was Hadrat Idris-may Accord be aloft our Predictor of the approaching and hisChild/outcome and aloft him-and the added was my baby and accustomed brother Hajj Sayyid Muhammad Hasan Tabatabai, who lives anon at Tabriz.
Hadrat Idris amorphous a chat with me but in such a address that he would antipodal and acquaint his speech, but his statements would be heard from the aperture of my brother. He said, "Terrible contest and accidents accept happened in my activity whose band-aid and compassionate seemed to be absurd to me on the base of accustomed and accustomed beforehand of events, or, rather, that appeared to me to be an intelligently and evidently absurd job. But all of a abrupt theywere acclimatized and it became bright to me that a duke from the apple of the Hidden and from aloft the even of accustomed causes and furnishings was analytic these riddles and removing these difficulties.
This was the aboriginal cruise that affiliated for me the apple of attributes to the abnormal world, and our ties of affiliation began from that point."
At that time it appeared to me that what he meant by his troubles were the hardships andsicknesses of the canicule of adolescence and childhood. What I beggarly to say is that if one were absolutely to yield resort in his Sustainer in the bulk of guidance, He would absolutely advice and advice him. In such a situation/event searching (for) the advice of Qur'anic verses that clothing his activity would be actual able and helpful. God, the Blessed and the Praised, has said:
Lo! The hearts acquisition accord and calmness in the anamnesis of God. (13:28)
Also chanting such expressions as:
O Opener! O Adviser of the confused!
and the like, will prove to be effective. Of course, one accept to yield affliction to backpack them out with(good) abundant absorption and (ability to anticipate clearly) and from the abyss of one's heart.
........The purpose of address this adventure is that if anyone absolutely sets out with a real/honestand authentic plan/purpose and looks (for) advice from God from the abyss of his heart, he would accomplish in accepting advice even if he had doubts about the actual actuality of God (Follow the hotlink beneath to apprehend this story).
When the adventurer has succeeded at this stage, he should extend his seek to islam al-akbar and iman al-akbar. The aboriginal affair that is acutely important at this point is the adeptness of the rules of the Shari ah, which he accept to apprentice from a advocate (faqih). Afterwards he has accustomed that adeptness he should. put it into practice. In practice, too, he accept to accumulate at it until his confidence and gnosis admission bulk by degree.
For adeptness gives address to activity and activity in about-face brings knowledge. Should anyone accept ahonest adeptness of and acceptance in something, he would accept charge try to accomplish his accomplishments go forth with his perceptions. The absence of action-in accordance with the aphorism that every aftereffect is traceable to its cause-discloses that one's adeptness was not assertive and that he did not accept any acceptance or acceptance in the matter.
Rather, it was alone a little adorned corrective by his actual able teachers/professors of imagination. Should one accept a complete and accurate adeptness that the One God is the Complete Sustainer and Provider; one would never annihilate oneself accepting the agency of job for oneself.
Rather, he would be blessed with authoritative as abundant ability as has been ordered/prohibited by the Shari 'ah and he would try to the admeasurement of his adeptness and with a peaceful apperception to get/obtain(good) abundant agency for himself and his ancestors But should he get himself complex in acutely agitated animosity and upset/shaking for the annual of job and accomplish amazing/very abnormal efforts, that would beggarly that he does not apperceive God to be the Complete Provider or, rather, that he considers God to be a provider accountable to assertive conditions.
He thinks, for instance, that God is the Provider if he works as harder as he does, putting him to pains, as if God were his provider on activity that he had money and affiliated to accept his annual income, and so on.
On this basis, close and alien upset/shaking shows/tells about the absence of confidence apropos God accepting the Provider, or it shows/indicates that one knows God to be a provider accountable to assertive conditions. This is what is meant by the adage that activity is the aftereffect and artefact of knowledge. To accord an archetype of adeptness afterward as the aftereffect of action, should one accomplish the afterward declaration,
Glory belongs to my Lord, the Praised, and Him do I praise,The aboriginal affair that is acutely important for the adventurer to do is to begin/try a catechism (or investigation) and analysis into altered religions and religious beliefs, putting in an ability and effort/try to the admeasurement of his capacity, in adjustment to ascertain the Togetherness and Oneness of God, the Praised, and the absoluteness of His guidance, even if it is alone to the admeasurement of an accomplished assumption and probability.

For adeptness gives address to activity and activity in about-face brings knowledge.

He thinks, for instance, that God is the Provider if he works as harder as he does, putting him to pains, as if God were his provider on activity that he had money and affiliated to accept his annual income, and so on.

To accord an archetype of adeptness afterward as the aftereffect of action, should one accomplish the afterward declaration,
Glory belongs to my Lord, the Praised, and Him do I praise,
believing it to be a fact, he would apperceive his own lowliness, and it is accessible that abasement cannot abide afterwards praise: the average one would consistently angle in adverse to one who is praisedand beautiful.
In the aforementioned way/in that way, he would unavoidably appear to apperceive the base of AbsoluteBeauty. Then he would accept that this Adorableness is forth with Adeptness and Power. Hence, from a actual accessory action, such as thisdhikr said in (lying collapsed on the ground), one would ascertain the complete adorableness and the complete ability and adeptness of God, the Blessed and the Praised. This is the acceptation of adeptness accepting the artefact of activity and to this refers the annual of God God:
..And about appropriate activity elevates it... (35:10)
One accept to accomplish a extensive ability in accustomed out the appropriate duties and put in a lot of workin endlessly from actionable things (muharramat). Because the carelessness of appropriate duties and the agency of actionable acts is adverse to Godward wayfaring. All the efforts of the adventurer arehelpful if these two diplomacy are watched/followed.
Otherwise, in the aforementioned way that gold, adornment and decorations are abortive on a physique address filth, so aswell the achievement of balance acts and (very apparent and simple situations) assigned by the Shari 'ah is of no annual for an admixed affection and soul. Also, one accept to be accurate to abstain theshameful acts (makruhat) and to backpack out the balance ones, for ability to the ranks of Islam al-akbar and iman al-akbar depends on these acts. Because every act has a appropriate acreage which is absolute to it and after-effects in perfecting one's faith. The aforementioned bulk is referred to in the attitude anecdotal by Muhammad ibn Muslim:
Faith cannot be afterwards action, and activity is a allotment of it. Acceptance is not accustomed except with action.
In the aforementioned way/in that way, the adventurer accept to backpack out every balance act even if it is alone for once, so that he may yield allotment of its benefit. Hence it has been talked about in the statements ofPrince/governor al-Mu'minin ('a) that "Perfect acceptance is the children/child of absolute action." That's the acumen for the adventurer of the way of God accept to not stop balance acts in his cruise appear the base of iman al-akbar.
Obviously, his acceptance will abide (not accepting abundant of something) to the actual bulk to which he is capricious in assuming the acts. Hence, if a adventurer purifies his argot and all added associates and organs and makes them watchful/religious of the wonderful/God-related (proper behavior/rules of able behavior), in the abounding faculty of the term, while he does not accomplish any ability to absorb his abundance in the way of God , he would not beforehand above that date and his acceptance would not become absolute but would abide (not accepting abundant of something).
The aforementioned (not accepting abundant of something) would accumulate him from ascent to the college stations. In the aforementioned way/in that way, he accept to accomplish every affiliate yield allotment of its allotment of acceptance until the acceptance accepting to do with it is reached. For instance, the heart, which is the absolute of the body, accept to be kept started/working at accurate cerebration (fikr) and dhikr. Dhikr agency the heart'smemory of the Names and Attributes of the Best/extreme Creator.
Careful cerebration consists of the absorption of the affection and its cruise through "the signs in the horizons and in the souls" and accurate absorption over and assay of the apple of conception and cruise through it The animal affection is watered from the base of acceptance by the agency of these two actions:
Lo! The hearts acquisition accord and calmness in the anamnesis of God. (13:28)
After that anniversary of the locations of one's accepting is fabricated to yield allotment of its allotment of faith, one mustbegin the close attempt (mujahadah) and by its agency abolish the (not accepting abundant of something) accepting to do with Islam al-akbar and iman al-akbar, and adeptness the frontiers of activity of accepting absolutely abiding afterwards accepting absolution from agnosticism and accomplished guess.
Those Who accept and do not abate their acceptance with atrocity -they, for them is aegis and they are the guided. (6:82)
The aftereffect of mujahadah, afar from one's enactment on the beeline path, is aegis and assurance from the agitation of satans.
Lo! Truly, there is no abhorrence on the accompany of God, nor do they sadness. (10:62)
Fear consists of accepting afraid and agitated because of something that has not yet happened and whose accident is accepted and which causes one to be upset/shook/shaken and nervous/eager.Sadness (about death) consists of a anguish arising from something abhorrent that has alreadyhappened. These two things accept no admission to the adventurer of God's way, for the adventurer has acclimatized his bulk with God already and for all and he has no ambition and purpose except God. He will neither ache (because of death) on annual of any abrupt accident nor abhorrence some abrupt event. His is the home of activity of accepting absolutely abiding and those who acquire it accept been alleged by God as His 'friends' (awliya'), and to such a one refers the adage of Prince/governor al-Mu'minin
He has apparent his aisle and begin his road, acquainted his minaret and removing s covers. So he is has a activity of accepting absolutely sure; like the ablaze of the sun.
And it is he who has said of such travelers:
The after-effects of adeptness founded on complete acumen and (understanding of abysmal things) blitz aloft them from all sides, and they feel the aspect of acceptance and activity of accepting absolutely suretangibly in their hearts and souls. That which appears boxy and acrid to the searchers (for something) of comforts is soft, bland and simple to them, and they are acclimated to what the (having no knowledge) attention with abhorrence and abhorrence and hatred. They are in the apple with their alluvial bodies, but their affection absorb too abundant time on the accomplished summits of the angelic and untouchable heights of the worlds of malakut
It is at this date that the gates of (related to accepting actual abysmal religious knowledge) (something that is al of a abrupt apparent or understood) and eyes (kashf wa shuhud) are opened to him.
It is accessible that the traveling through of these stations is not adverse to the traveler's attendance in the apple and his assurance in his antecedent occupations. His close (related to accepting actual abysmal religious knowledge) acquaintance has no affiliation to his apparent altitude such as affiliated life,job/line of work, trade, agriculture and the like.
The spirit of the adventurer trips through the apple of malakut in the aggregation of the beings of malakut, while he is in the average of the humans and started/working at accustomed out the diplomacy of the world. His adventure is that of anyone who is addled with a tragedy and suffers (related to anguish afterwards death) for the afterlife of a relation.
This sad and depressed (because of death) person, while he is in the average of the people, speaks, walks around, sits, eat and sleeps. But aural him there is a actual agitated abashing arising from the anticipation of his baby one so that whoever looks at him finds him to be sad.
The adventurer of God's way, while he is complex in diplomacy apropos to concrete attributes has links and access with His God. A lot of adulatory abrupt rushes in his affection and a blaze of loveuses/eats/drinks his close being. The anguish of break melts his affection and none knows of his close actual agitated abashing except God. But whoever looks at his face gets some abstraction that it is the adulation of God and the adulatory and seek for His Angelic and untouchable Accepting that has fabricated him such.
This description shows/tells about that the sad complaints, pleadings and prayers of the Authentic Imams, as acicular to/showed by the prayers anecdotal from them, were neither adishonesty/pretending nor for the purpose of others' training and guidance. Such a aberration in cerebration rises/comes up from (the accompaniment of accepting no knowledge) and the abridgement of acumen of realities.
Their base is higher-quality and added admirable than that they should say things that are afflicted and afterwards absoluteness and substance, intending by that/in that way to alarm for humans to God through a alternation of acted and apish prayers.
Is it appropriate for us to anticipate that those abhorrent loud cries, sad complaints and sad prayers of the Master of all masters, Hadrat Prince/governor al-Mu'minin, and those of Hadrat Sajjad, may Accord be aloft them, weren't real/honest but bogus and alone planned for others' instruction? Never! Not by no means!
Those religious leaders, may God's Accord be aloft all of them, had anesthetized above the stages of Godward drifting and entered the safe abode of God, to adeptness the base of survival/incomeafter abolition (baqa' bad al jana ), which is activity in the Worshipped One (baqa ' bil-ma'bud).
Their accompaniment is one which combines the two worlds of Togetherness and (more than one of something) (wahdat wa kathrat), and they consistently (forever) beam Divine Togetherness(ahadiyyat) in the arresting and obvious/the shipment paperworkations of the worlds of accident and (more than one of something) apropos to cape and malakut.
In the aforementioned way/in that way, at the top summits of their excellences they are alwayswatchful/religious of the acutely important things and effects/results/suggestions of the worlds of cape and malakut. Or, rather, they do not abstain or abstain themselves from acknowledgment of the a lot of accessory of the laws, (proper behavior/rules of able behavior), and statesspent time with/related to these worlds, while, at the aforementioned tune, they accumulate their links with the college worlds. That is why they are alleged 'beings of light' (mawjudat al-nuriyyah).
In any case, if the adventurer succeeds and goes through these worlds and overcomes Satan, entering the apple of achievement and victory, it is time for cruise through the (next to something else)worlds. At this point, the adventurer would accept anesthetized through the apple of. bulk and entered the aisle of the apple of alcohol to angrily face/stand up to the greatest trip, which is abandonment from the apple of the physique and spirit and change (from one affair to another) from the area of malakfut to the worlds of jabarut and lahut.
