Hazrat Hakim Sahib( برکاتہمدامت )teach the renowned book, adorned with Divine and Prophetic pearls “Halqa Kashf-ul-Mahjoob” every month as a lesson and also conduct meditation. A large number of readers attend this forum. Following is the summary of almost two hours lecture.
Pir Sayed Ali Hijveri (رحمت اللہ علیہ) says in his book Halqa Kashf-ul-Mahjoob that first you should purify your heart and then cleanse your body. You washed your body but did not clean your heart. That is why Sariah talks about hygiene and purity being two different things. An infidel might be clean but not purified. Allah called disbelievers as being impure, the Quran curses infidelity. They may clean their body but do not purify their hearts. Even their body is cleansed but not purified! The essence of prayer is obedience. Prayer is all about following Allah’s will. There is no own choice in prostration, bowing and standing…if it comes in my heart to prostrate eight times…and keep prostrating one after another…Subhan Allah, how gratifying it is to keep prostrating. But no I have to prostrate only two times as prayer is all about following Allah’s will and Allah’s command. Prayer refers to the will of Allah. So Sheikh (رحمت اللہ علیہ) said that if the desire will not be fulfilled, one should get rid of his desire initially this is the source of salvation. Allah said, [ونھی النفس عن الھوی فان الجنۃ ھی الما ویٰ], Pir Ali Hijveri (رحمت اللہ علیہ) refers to Quran that the one who abstains himself from self-desires, paradise will be his destination. In worldly affairs self-desire would prevail if a person seeks some other interest rather than Allah’s approval and does not request for the salvation of his soul from Allah’s punishment. And of all the defiance, there is no obvious limit to self and for this, even its deceptions are not identifiable. If you expect that your defiance and self-deceptions will appear to yourself, it will never happen; for this you must surrender yourself to someone. (Continued)
