GOHAR SHAHI
IN KARACHI (ISM-E-ZAAT CONFERENCE)
Beloved companions…Aslam-o-Alykum,
http://www.theallfaith.com
After a Friday prayer in Latifabad (Hyderabad) a man stood
and said “O people! Stop and heed to the announcement! Allah
has just commanded me to declare my prophet hood and ask
people to recognize me as a prophet.”
http://www.theallfaith.com
comes the knowledge of Mua’rifat by virtue of which glimpse
of Allah is given within seven days in this stage.

public, then we also came under the verdicts of infidelity. My
belief was that nobody can be a Muslim until he recites Kalima
and upon becoming Muslim the heart will chant Allah
Allah………………………………………………………….
When this body of Man was created, few souls were put within
this body. Seven souls were put within it. They are called
Lataif (spiritual entities). In a Hadith (saying of Prophet PBUH)
their names are mentioned: Qalb, Rooh, Siri, Khafi, Akhfa, Ana,
Nafs. One is for seeing, one is for walking, one for smelling,
one for speaking and there is one which is only to chant Allah’s
name. Originally six of them were divine (purified) and one
satanic inner soul added to it. Bulleh Shah said for it: “This
Polluted Self has polluted us…we were not polluted from the
beginning”
When that Self entered into the body then this body becomes
polluted. Neither that mud was polluted (from which Adam was
created) nor other souls were polluted but the moment Nafs
http://www.theallfaith.com
(Self) entered into this body it got contaminated. Mujadid Alif
Sani says: “The starter should first chant Allah Allah and clean
his Self. Quran is not for the people whose Self is polluted (in
the shape of Dogs).” He says, “Recite the Quran with a clean
Self.” Because one thoughtful moment of that time is better
than hundred years of prayers, only then Quran will enter into
the
heart……………………………………………………………………………………

But that Noor is only in fingers, it did not go inside the body. If
it is useful, it will only be useful on the Day of Judgment, it is
useless in this life. A similar bead is running inside human
body in the form of heart doing tick tick; when one
synchronizes Allah Allah with heartbeats then that Noor does
not go outside, the Noor goes straight into blood; through
blood it goes into the veins; then it reaches to inner souls
within you through the veins. Then, those souls wake up and
start chanting Allah
Allah………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………..
Then those souls will continue chanting Allah Allah even you
will be sleeping. Even you will be in your grave but no end to
the recitation and it will keep on until the Day of Judgment.
When that Noor reaches to inner souls, first to second; second
to third ultimately all souls start to chant Allah Allah. At this
stage it is considered as sacred as a mosque, Ka’ba and even
like a Paradise.
When, the Noor approaches into each & every vein. That Nafs
(self) which is Satan, he is sitting at the naval point, The Noor
surrounds the Self due to the heat & excess of Noor, the Nafs
(self) begins to purify; and once it is purified completely then
the whole of human body becomes pure.
http://www.theallfaith.com
connection between you and Allah is your heart, the heart is
like a telephone. Ordinary telephone works when it has power
in it, similarly this telephone (heart) works when it has Noor.
When Noor comes within your heart then the telephone within
you, powers on. Then wherever you speak it will go straight to
heavens, your prayers will go straight to heavens, your
recitation will go straight to heavens. This is the time when
Salat/prayer becomes a spiritual journey for Momin through
this telephone.

become united.
Quran says: Huda lil Mutaqiin "I Guide those who are pious".
Now when a person is purified from inside (spiritually), he
becomes a scholar (who can guide others). Then that person
recites Quran, the Quran goes into the heart. For that stage
Allama Iqbal said “Apparently he looks to be a reciter, actually
he is a Quran himself”. Now as you revere Quran, reverence of
this scholar is also obligatory on you…you do not show your
back to the Quran so why do so to the scholar. These are called
Divine Scholars. Such scholars helped people to embrace
Islam.
http://www.theallfaith.com
we were unable to find Him, we start the search of world. Then
what they did? Established a party with an Islamic name and
took the Quran under their arms and started their journey
towards politics. For such people Bulleh Shah said: "Those who
have Quran under their arms, they ate and denied later
on"…………………………………………………………………………………………
…….
Such politician gathers people around them for few years and
if they enter into corridors of power they enjoy power
themselves. What is for their followers? Instead they
(followers) should had chant Allah Allah, so they might have
got some benefit. Saint Sultan Bahoo said that “I never
attended any religious seminary”. “I took first word of the
Quran ALIF, and started chanting Alif for Allah. By chanting
Allah Allah my chest became enlightened When Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) saw my enlightened chest, He transferred
all knowledge to me from His chest.”
http://www.theallfaith.com
So after few years the followers say to the leader that they
offered prayers, did politics but could not find Allah? Then that
Worldly Scholar asked them to wage jihad. His supporters
asked the meaning of jihad? The Worldly Scholar said that one
faction consider Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) a human being
the other consider Noor. Go you kill them they will kill you this
is jihad. Sectarianism is product of such Worldly
Scholars…………………………………………………………………………………

There are two ways to purify Nafs (self). One is to abandon the
worldly affairs, live in jungles away from people and return
after completely purifying the Nafs, like Data Sahib, Khawaja
Sahib and other saints did. Since people in this age cannot do
this. Either stays in a company and guidance of a saint in this
http://www.theallfaith.com
way Nafs (self) can also be purified. Just like Baha Ud-Din
Naqash Bandi lived in the company of Amir Kalal and Maulana
Rome served Shah Shams. By serving their masters they
purified their Nafs. After becoming a known saint Then
Maulana Rome wrote: “A Maulvi can never be Maulana Rome
unless he becomes a servant of a Shams
Tabraiz"…………………………………………………………………………………

Now let’s talk about Mehdi (AS). There is an 80 years old saint
named Shaikh Nazim in London. He converted 10,000
Americans into Islam and also converted lot of Christians and
Hindus. He is well versed in Darood, Wazaif and knowledge of
Istikhara. Shaikh Nazim announced that "according to my
knowledge Imam Mehdi will appear in a year or two but worldly
scholars will oppose Imam Mehdi". Shaikh also said that Imam
Mehdi wouldn’t announce that “I am Mehdi” but people will
recognize Imam Mehdi
themselves………………………………………………………………
http://www.theallfaith.com
Now, Dr. Israr Ahmed also said that in light of Hadith and other
books, it is evident that arrival of Mehdi is near. They say that
Imam Mehdi will appear soon but we say that He has already
appeared. All the saints have been informed about Imam
Mehdi; His face has been shown to them that this is your Imam
Mehdi. Imam Mehdi is a leader of a religious organization in
Pakistan. Saints have been told all the Saints are aware. Now
Allah is doing such works for Him so that everyone will have to
accept Imam Mehdi……………………………………………….

begin to come out of the chest. That Satan (Nafs) goes towards
Satan’s. When other souls become enlighten, then these souls
went to see enlightened. Divine/ enlightened souls go straight
to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and bow in front of Him
PBUH……………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………..
http://www.theallfaith.com
He had Allah's glimpse is called Mahmood.
http://www.theallfaith.com
What happen after this, one of those souls within is called
Latifa Anna. The soul Qalb reaches to the court of Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) and the other inner soul Ana goes straight
towards Allah.
Now looking at that Saint is also worship. For this stage Saint
Sultan Bahoo said: "O Bahoo seeing the master is equivalent to
millions and billions of Hajj"
http://www.theallfaith.com
a dog Hazart Qamteer and enmity for such people can make
someone Baleem Ba’ur who was very pious person but went
into Hell fire in the shape the dog of Ashab-e-Kahf
(companions of the cave).
Many saints stop at this stage, this is the stage of Fana Fillah
and very special Saints go beyond this stage. Prophet (PBUH)
has told For those who go beyond “that is the third type of
knowledge”. Then they go more forward and then they see for
which Shia people were shouting for such a long time that
there are 40 chapters in Quran. Then, when those Saints cross
that stage, they find those 10 chapters. When they find those
10 chapters, then this Quran (Printed on paper) is something
and those 10 chapters are something else. These (10 chapters)
are telling something else and those (30 Chapter) are telling
something else.
http://www.theallfaith.com
It is said that once Mujadid Alif Sani went to a mosque and saw
a man sleeping there. Mujadid again went to the mosque for
prayer and the same person was sleeping. Mujadid thought he
might have slept after offering prayer. Then Mujadid decided
to stay in the mosque from time of Asar to Magharib prayers.
Mua’zin was delivering Magharib azan but the man was still
sleeping. Mujadid awoke him and angrily said that either he
should get of the mosque or offer prayers. The man got up and
did Wazu. Prayers were about to start when the same man
asked the Imam to stop. Imam stopped. He announced the
Niyat (intention) of Fajar prayer. People saw that suddenly
evening turned into moning, then he offered Zohar prayer and
it was Zohar time, then he performed Asar prayer, one
narrator reports that even the rotation of the sun changed. At
this time the man said to Mujadid, “You are spiritually
envisioned. You should have seen my condition before
awakening me. I was with Him whom you offer prayers to".
Then the Quran said that if you drink even a single drop of
water your fast will be ruined. Those (other 10 chapters) said
even if you keep eating and drinking all day long your fast will
never break. When asked, "how come”? It was answered that
fasting is to purify the self, if your self is already pure then it
doesn’t matter you eat or not, you will observe fast for
lifetime. …………………………………………
http://www.theallfaith.com
When asked, "how come”? It was answered that fasting is to
purify the self, if your self is already pure then it doesn’t
matter you eat or not, you will observe fast for lifetime. It is
said that there was a Saint living on the bank of a river. He
cooked sweet dish and asked his wife to give a share to
another Saint on the other side of the river. His wife said that
how should she cross the river? The Saint said to his wife, “Tell
the river that I have been sent by the man who never touched
his wife for twelve years and the river will give you way to
cross.” The wife replied, “What are you saying? We have just
had a daughter three months ago!”
The Saint answered, “What I said is right”, and his wife went
and said the same words told by her husband. River gave her
way to cross and upon reaching her on the other side, the river
again began to flow normally. She gave meal to the Saint and
he ate it. Then she asked how to cross the river? The Saint
said, “Tell the river that you have been sent by the man who
ate nothing for twelve years.” She surprised and asked the
Saint that he just have eaten the meal but he asked her to
ignore it. The women asked the river what the Saint told and
the river gave the way for her cross. Upon reaching home she
asked his husband, “I am very surprised. You said you never
touched your wife for twelve years but I had daughter three
months ago and he said he never ate anything for twelve year.
I am unable to understand that even your lies have so much
power." ………………
http://www.theallfaith.com
Her husband answered actually, “I came to you not for my Nafs
(Self) but as a duty and he never ate for his Self but for
living.” Similarly, Abdul Qadir Jalini said, “You live for eating
and we eat for living so that we can perform duties as per
Divine order.”

Next came Hajj. The Quran said if anybody has resource and
ability he/she must perform Hajj.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………
The others said: Only those people go to Ka’ba who don’t have
guts.
They say that you are superior to all creatures. Ibrahim
constructed Ka’ba with mud and clay while you have been
created by Noor. So why you go to the Ka’ba, rather Ka’ba
should come to you. Upon this Shah Mansoor was hanged.
Ba-Yazid Bistami says, “For years I used to circumambulate the
Ka’ba but when I found Allah, now Ka’ba started
circumambulating me". ……………………………………………………
Saint Sultan Bahoo was asked by someone that why he did not
go to Hajj. Bahoo replied that "Ka’ba used to circumambulate
here". Same Ka'ba came to circumambulate Rabia Basri. This
Quran ask us to give 2.5% Zakat. The other says give 97.5%
Zakat and keep only 2.5% with you. This Quran was asked that
where is Allah? the Quran said He is far away. Just keep
performing prayers and observe fast, because seeing Allah is
http://www.theallfaith.com
very difficult, He lives very far away. But when those Paras
were asked about Allah, they replied "Allah is here in this
world, sometime as Data (RA) and sometime as Khawaja (RA).
Those chapters said have you not heard that Hadith-e-Qudsi
which says, “I become hands of my servant with which he
holds; I become tongue of my servant with which he speaks.”
Musa came into jalal and said "Being a Prophet I am not equal
to a follower? Regardless of what happens show me your
glimpse”. Finally, when Allah put His tajally (theophany) on
Musa, Musa was unable to bear its intensity and fell
unconscious. So, what is the reason that Musa wasn’t able to
see Allah on Koh-e-Toor (Mount Sinai) in this world and went
into unconscious while Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sitting
and smiling in front of Allah? Musa had Noor of Rehman within
himself that is why he couldn’t tolerate the personal light of
http://www.theallfaith.com
Allah and in the body of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had the
Noor of Ism-e-Zaat Allah. Zaat went infront of Zaat and
smiled.Therefore, it is blessing of the Prophet that his Ummah
has Isam-e-Zaat but Ummah is afraid of practicing it. …………….

is Namaz-e-Ishq. Every sect performs Namaz-e-Soorat it is not
a big deal, this Namaz is just an act of showing to others.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
……………………
For this, Namaz say Qul Hu Wallah Hu Ahad (say Allah is One)
and the heart replies there is no flour at home, Allah hu-samad
(Allah, the Eternal, Absolute) heart says wife is sick, Lam Ya-lid
wa Lam Yu-lad heart says “getting late from office hurry up”.
This is called Namaz-e-Soorat. Mujadid Alif Sani says, “For
every person is Namaz-e-Soorat and Namaz-e-Haqeeqat is of
special people of God” and said “Everyone should search for
Namaz-e-Haqeeqat”. Now what is Namaz-e-Haqeeqat? Namaz-
e-Soorat is performed by a Muslim and Namaz-e-Haqeeqat is
performed by a Momin. And for Namaz-e-Haqeeqat you must
learn to commemorate Allah’s name (Dhikr-e-Qalbi).

http://www.theallfaith.com
This is also your first Sunnah as well. What Prophet used to do
in Ghar-e-Hira (Cave of Hira)? Even Salat/prayers were not
obligated at that time. What people use to do at that point of
time? They used to chant the name of God. Then they became
Muslims, when they become Muslims Salat/prayers was not
obligated even by that time. Prayers were obligated at a later
stage. What they used to do at that point of time? Meanwhile
people keep themselves busy in Zikr and by that their chests
enlightened. Later on, when Salat/prayers were bestowed to
the Prophet (PBUH), prayers didn’t stuck in their throats, it
went straight into their hearts.
When your heart will start chanting Allah Allah then you will
try to carry on with your work and Allah Allah also continues.
This is called ‘in the hand of doer, in the heart of companion’.
Next you will try while reading newspaper/magazine and Allah
Allah also continues and you will succeed. Then you will try
Allah Allah continue while offering prayers.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
Now, your tongue will say Qul Hu Wallah Hu Ahad and hearth
will say Allah Allah. Allah Hu-Samad and heart will say Allah
Allah…Lam Ya-Lid Wa Lam Yoo Lad…heart will say Allah Allah.
Now it’s the stage whatever is on the tongue will be in the
heart. Your tongue is affirming and heart is testifying…tongue
is in Zikr-e-Mufasil while heart is in Zikr-e-Mujamil…tongue is
affirming by the logic while heart is testifying without any
logic. ……………………………………………………………………………………
http://www.theallfaith.com
This tongue has power to speak from here and people in
America can listen and heart has the power to chant here and
Heavens will hear. Then your prayers will reach to the Heavens
by this heart…this is the Salat which is called journey to
Heavens for a Momin (Meraj-ul-momineen).
…………………………………………………………………..
Every now and then we hear lectures that the one who has no
love for the Allah and Prophet, his faith is incomplete. People
only talk about the love. They only talk about the medicine but
do not give the medicine. We have been hearing this for long
time now but in the heart still affection for the Allah and
Prophet is absent. Those who express their love from the
tongue are dishonest/pitiful. Love is not related to tongue love
is connected to the heart. Love cannot be done forcefully but
happens automatically.
…………………………………………………………………………..
Though they express their love by the tongue but in their heart
is Satan. How to expel that Satan? We say there is Satan in
your heart you say that I offer prayers, how come that Satan is
in my heart? We say that though you offer prayers but during
prayers (Salat) why your heart is filled with Whisper (of Evil)
which is work of the Satan? Satan is in heart that is why he
whispers in heart! …………….
http://www.theallfaith.com
gathering for Zikr and chant Allah Hu, there will be no
whispers but you will feel joy. But the moment you will leave
the gathering the same whispers will again engulf your heart.
What if that same gathering establishes within you. Stay 24
hours in the ecstasy of Allah and will have a shield from
satanic whispers.
………………………………………………………………………
Hazart Abu Bakr asked, “How can I have reward of jihad while
offering prayers?”
The Prophet replied, “ Those Satanic whisperers come to your
heart and chanting of Allah Allah which is going on within your
heart throw them out, again they come and again Allah Allah
throw them out and this is jihad.”

Ba-Yazid Bistami went into jungles is his youth. The Satan used
to stand at a corner and watch while he recited various Wirid
and Wazaif. The moment Bistami start stroking Allah Hu on his
heart, whenever he try to settle Allah in his heart, Then Satan
come near and disturb/interrupt him. Once, Bistami took a
stick and ran after the Satan. Since he was enlightened he
heard a voice saying, “O Ba-Yazid, he wouldn’t die by the
sticks he burns with Allah’s Noor, you chant so much, you
chant so much so that you become Noor-ala-noor.” When Ba-
Yazid Bistami achieved (Noor-ala-noor) this stage even all
magicians left the city of Bistam saying that “now our magic
no longer works here”. …………………………

Allama Iqbal said about this stage: "If there is Ishq, infidelity is
also Islam"
Meaning, if within you came the Ishq of Allah then infidelity is
also Islam. If within you do not have Ishq, Iqbal then says
“Then even Muslim is also infidel”.
Today Muslims themselves are declaring each other infidel.
………………………….
When love of Allah appears in this heart then those who are
associated with the love of Allah, then love of those people
also comes. That time Love of Prophet (PBUH) will come, love
for the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) will come. Love of
Imam Ali (RZA) will come within someone, whosoever’s love
comes within, and then this was the very love which turned the
dog of Ashab-e-Kahf (companions of cave) into Hazart
Qatmeer. ………………………………………………………………..
Now, when someone seeks for Allah, then he carries bead and
starts chanting, but the ultimate objective is to bring God
within. People don't know how to absorb Allah inside, they
chant Allah Allah by using beads which creates Noor but
remains outside. They keep chanting Allah Allah by the
tongues that Noor also went outside. Some people recite Allah
Hu with the breath that Noor also goes out, does not remains
within. Until Allah is not been absorbed within, nothing will
happen. Now the question is how to absorb Allah? How Allah
comes within human?
http://www.theallfaith.com
Write Allah on a white piece of paper with black ink sixty six
times daily and after few days practice, the word which you
were writing on paper one day that word Allah starts hovering
in the eyes without writing. Second method is to write Allah
with yellow ink on a zero bulb and watch it before sleeping.
And one day the word Allah comes into the eyes. When it
comes into the eyes, then stop writing or observing then from
the eyes try to bring it to the heart. Ultimately what is written
on the paper one day can be seen on the hearts.
………………………………………………..
http://www.theallfaith.com
……………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………….
Then they come across a person who fell asleep while chanting
Allah Hu. They says keep quite speak in low voice maybe
he/she went into asleep while remembering Him and maybe
Allah give him/her reward of all night’s worship. Because
whatsoever intention is while sleeping, same thing will happen
in dream. Wake up in the morning don’t worry about Wazoo
because heart does not require Wazoo by water and keep
doing Hidden Chanting (Zikar-e-Khafi). As long as your zikar
does not match with your heartbeat it is called Hidden
Chanting and when it matches with the heartbeat then it is
called heart meditation (Zikar-e-Qalbi). Today is your first step
into Tarikat. ……………………………………………………………………….
When this Allah Allah starts with the heart, today your vehicle
started its journey towards Allah. Now it needs the petrol…
then offer prayers, observe fast and your vehicle will keep on
moving. Then this vehicle, Tarikatis related with heart, and
then this vehicle will reach its destination…where Allah is
sitting. Reality (Haqeeqat) is associated with eyes. After
receiving blessings from Allah it is called Mua’rifat.Now
because this Zikr is hot, by chanting Allah Allah, may be you
feel some sort of heat. In this situation recite Darood Sharif
and it will cool down. One day Darood Sharif and Allah will
unite and you will feel neither heat nor cold.
http://www.theallfaith.com
Some people’s heartbeats are not prominent. Then, what
should they do?
Bulleh Shah said:
http://www.theallfaith.com
This will be a blessing from some great personality…either
from Allah or His Beloved. When benevolence starts coming
from them, now you are Bayat or not, does not matter. If
anyone needs permission for this they wouldn’t have to do
Bayat. This is commanded from Allah, and this is for everyone,
you try this practice. Within five, seven days if Allah wishes
Allah Allah will start within you.
Upon asking third person, how are you? He/she reply “Allah’s
blessing are upon me, despite being in old age I am still
healthy if this is not blessing then what is this”? We say that if
you consider such things as blessing then even infidels have
all that. What Allah gave to infidels bestowed on you…so what
is the blessing on you?
http://www.theallfaith.com
“You remember me and I will remember you”. Only that person
is remembered who is in friendship.
………………………………………………………….
If despite the effort your heart does not accept Allah Allah
then you are not blessed by His blessing at all. If you were
blessed He must have accepted you within those who
remember Him. The secret behind recognizing yourself, what I
am, how much Bountiful Allah is upon me? This is the only
touchstone. After this if He bestows car or bungalow then
these are blessings.
