11:88
In order to attain good success and guidance of the heart from God (11:88, 64:11), you should pray not only after every namaz (daily prescribed prayer), but also all the time. During the prayer, extreme humility and expression of indigence is necessary, so that no trace of ill-will may remain in the heart and then recourse may be taken to the Divine court. You can also pray in your own tongue, so that the heart may melt due to the painful supplication according to your state and may God, the Benevolent, have mercy upon you due to this condition. However, this point should be remembered that as far as the sacred essence of God, the Exalted, is concerned, there is no change in it. It is not the case that sometimes He becomes angry and sometimes He has mercy. This change according to the states of the people, takes place in those rays of the light of God which continue to fall on the heart and mind of every human being. Thus during prayer, if you have serious giryah-u zari, or your heart becomes softer and softer, then you should be sure that God, the Exalted, casts the glance of mercy upon you.
Efficacious medicines alone are not sufficient in connection with physical cure, but nourishment rich in vitamins is also essential. Similarly, in this book on “Healing through Knowledge”, we have to sincerely endeavour to provide some nutritious foods of knowledge and gnosis in the light of the Qur’an and the Hadith, as well as logic and tradition and in the light of some spiritual experiences and knowledge. “And I have no success except by God.” (11:88).
There is ample scope to write in greater detail on the subject of “The Wise Qur’an and the World of Humanity”. However, it was decided to write it concisely in one hundred parts, similar to the two books “Treasures of Secrets” and “The Sacred Sanctuary”. Nevertheless, this book despite its small size, will prove to be more and more important and useful in the future. “And my success is only by Allah” (11:88).
