Preface - Two Sacred Houses of God in the Personal World
Tags: Ka`bah, Baytu'l-ma`mur,
O `azizan of soul and heart! Listen carefully to the faith-illumining reality that Qur'anic science contains innumerable blessings (barakat). I am sure that you will be extremely delighted to know the Qur'anic and spiritual secret that, as there are two sacred houses of God in the external world – one is on the earth, the Ka`bah and the other in the heaven, baytu'l-ma`mur or the prosperous house, there are two of His houses in the personal world: one is on its earth, which is the heart and the other in its heaven, which is the Sacred Sanctuary (hazirah-i qudus).
It is related from the holy Prophet in the authentic books that when Hazrat Nuh's deluge started to happen, the Ka`bah, which existed from Hazrat Adam's time, was lifted to the heaven and made the baytu'l-ma`mur. An extremely beautiful and great ta'wil of this Hadith is that when the spiritual revolution, which is also called Nuh's deluge, takes place in the personal world, the house of God which is on the earth of the personal world is lifted to its Sacred Sanctuary and made the baytu'l-ma`mur.
Such wisdom-filled and magnificent realities and recognitions cannot be acceptable without references from the Qur'an. Thus, the reference to the first house is in verse (24:36) and that to the second house in verse (10:87). However, O my dear friends! Remember that it is imperative to study each word of these references with insight. By the grace of God, I am absolutely sure that these secrets are as they have been described. Thus, you can believe as well as search in order to ascertain the truth, and if there is any doubt, questions can be asked. This article is very short, yet its purport is extremely great. You can also ask Bahru'l-`ulum. By Divine mercy, we do not have any kind of lack of knowledge in our organisation.
We have written three dedications in the blessed house of ILG Chairperson Yasmin Noorali. It is a very amazing wisdom that the miracles of knowledge take place where God's name is remembered abundantly. Truly speaking, these dedications are very amazing and wonderful and those for whom they are written are also amazing and wonderful. To speak the truth is included in `ibadat. Those who have the wealth of truth are very fortunate. However, truth is of two kinds, religious truth and worldly truth. Religious truth is at the highest level of spirituality, which the Qur'an calls ta'wil and the Imam of the time is its real lord. In short, this dedication is written for one of my cordial friends of the first rank, Zahir Ali Momin and his blessed family. Thousands of thanks to Almighty God that my students in the west have progressed in knowledge to a great extent. This is among the tremendous favours of the Holy Lord. Praise belongs to Allah!
We also pray for Dr. Faquir Muhammad, Bahru'l-`ulum, Shah-i Qalam, who has revised the translation of the three books on healing, namely, Qur'anic Healing, Healing Through Knowledge and Spiritual Healing and prepared it to publish collectively as the "Book of Healing". We also pray for Rashida Samsam, parwanah-i Nur and Zahir, Jan-i Nasir, who have made their beautiful houses the workshops of knowledge and wisdom.
