Questions to Copies of My Soul
Tags: Qurbáan amánas úne gáne sad báar uyám jáar, Mawláa ċum jáa jíi fidáa! jamaát ċum fidáa! aziizáan ċum fidáa, Jií bilúm qurbáan étam hal daá ke jiímin but manís Gunċ ke han qurbáan éćam ċe jáa sasaaye káan díya
1. Question: When and in which city did you all have the first blessing of the holy didar of the exalted Imam (May peace be through him)? Was there a manifestation of any magnificent miracle on that unique occasion, or were you honoured only with the pure didar?
2. Question: Which extremely likeable Hasan Abad was this where we, the humble, together with a big group of the jama`at were getting the luminous guidance of the vigil and special `ibadat from holy Mawla (May peace be through him).
3. Question: Which was the place or Jama`at Khanah where you observed the spiritual light for the first time? Tell us in which year this event took place.
4. Question: How beautiful, pleasing and unforgettable is the luminous and miraculous dream of Sariqul! In the light of the knowledge of certainty, tell us truthfully whose sacrifice that really was? Who was slaughtered? For whom? On whose behalf? Where was the body and where was the head? In that state, where was the higher "I" observing this scene from? Was this martyrdom or slaughter and sacrifice? Was it you or me? Or all of us? The answer has to be given after thinking carefully.
5. Question: Although this was a luminous dream, nonetheless, in the light of the Qur'an and hadith, we have to see that some dreams (ru'ya) are like spirituality itself. Therefore, it is no wonder that many wisdoms may be hidden in this sacrifice. Its explanation should be made separately so that its reality becomes clear to the people of wisdom.
6. Question: Was it said by us, or the copies of my soul, or was it the zeal of the devotion of all believing men and women (Qurbáan amánas úne gáne sad báar uyám jáar): "It is very sweet for me to be sacrificed for you". Al-hamdu li'llah, this wisdom-filled sacrifice has taken place. It is extremely sweet in the sense that the sacrifice of a goat is on behalf of the people of the house. By God! This sacrifice is on behalf of many people, but in it my copies are also sacrificed.
7. Question: Since this bounty is extremely sweet, I therefore mention it again and again [with gratitude]. This is the story of the spiritual journey and the destination of `Izra'il (May peace be through him), but do the souls also live separately and far away like bodies? No, not at all. It is said in a hadith: "Souls are always in one place and gathered like an army". In particular, its task is to take part in the spiritual war and to be present at the place of personal resurrection. How can the exalted souls of the people who are the soldiers of knowledge, avoid the spiritual war?
8. Question: Have you not heard the spiritual story of the destination of `Izra'il (May peace be through him)? Are all souls not gathered at this place? I am completely certain that you were all present there, and perhaps this friendship of knowledge started from there. First of all, you had come in the form of subtle particles. You have seen countless wonders and marvels of the personal world.
9. Question: Have you ever said with love and affection: "Our Lord, Hazir Imam, may my soul be sacrificed for you"? Do you really want to sacrifice your beloved soul for the Imam? Or is it just a meaningless saying? If such a saying is among the attributes of a mu'min, he must also be getting practically sacrificed somewhere.
10. Question: Is my zealous slogan which I have been saying, hollow or profound? Mawláa ċum jáa jíi fidáa! jamaát ċum fidáa! aziizáan ċum fidáa! "May my soul be sacrificed for Mawla! May I be sacrificed for the jama`at, and for the `azizan!" No, it is not hollow at all. I have been sacrificed by all means, and many `azizan understand this fact in the light of the certainty of knowledge.
11. Question: Is it not one of the golden principles of Islam to offer sacrifice for the sake of the comfort of others? Jií bilúm qurbáan étam hal daá ke jiímin but manís Gunċ ke han qurbáan éćam ċe jáa sasaaye káan díya "I had one life which I have already sacrificed. I wish I had many lives to sacrifice! If I did have many lives, I would have sacrificed one every day, my mine of generosity has arrived". This is an earlier verse. It was revealed later that one person can have countless souls. Thus, I have sacrificed together with my own souls, numerous other souls who had come to the place of my resurrection.
12. Question: My 'azizan! Are we not one in reality? Are we not one army of knowledge and spirituality? Were we not all dying together at the destination of `Izra'il (May peace be through him) and surviving together? Were we all not the atomic angels of Hazrat-i Adam (May peace be through him) of the time in particular? Is there not amongst us ardent and unique love? Which reality does this love symbolise? It symbolises unity and Monoreality. Al-hamdu li'llah. The book of deeds of all of us has become one. How extremely pleasant this [news] is!
