| Marifat |
Allah Rabbul Alamin is One & Only, supreme. He has no partner, He is the creator, protector, saver of skies and earth. He has created the Noor -e- Muhammadi from his own Holly Noor (Splendor) and created the whole creation with that Noor -e- Muhammadi.
Allah Rabbul Alamin has created man as the Ashraful Maklukat (Best of creation). Directed man to have faith on:
1. Allah (including his all power and virtues),
2. Ferishtas (Angels) of Allah,
3. Prophets & Rasuls sent by Allah,
4. Heavenly / Divine Books,
5. Takdir (Fate/Luck),
6. Kiamat (Day of Complete Destruction of the Universe),
7. Resurrection, Day of Last Judgement.
To establish this belief firmly in mind is the main subject matter of Islam. Allah Rabbul Alamin has nominated Islam as the religion for the whole mankind and descended the Holy Quran as the Rules Regulation of Islam. Allah has declared the superiority of the religion Islam over all other religions.
1. Allah is Lord of the Universe, He is most powerful, most learned, ever-living, everlasting, and most intelligent. His presence is everywhere in the universe, He sees and listens to everything, He is the supreme of the universe. When He decides to create something, He just utter (be created) and that is created. (Bakara-117).
2. There is no one to be worshipped except Allah. He is very kind, very merciful, subsistence giver, free from want, and He is glorified. Power and virtues of Allah is beyond imagination/discussion of human. (Lukmaan27).
3. Ferishtas (Malaika/Angels) are His obedient (Fatir 11). The Number of Ferishtas (Malaika/Angels) is unlimited and number is known to Allah only. Amongst the main Ferishtas Zibrail(A) Mikail(A), Azrail(A) and Israfil (A) are remarkable.
4. Allah has created man from the soil and they will be buried in this soil and they will be reawaken/resurrected from this soil. Jinn (supernatural being) and Insan (human) have been created only for Ibadat (prayer).
5. Whenever mankind has forgotten Allah and guided in a wrong direction, then Allah has sent Prophets and Rasuls to them. For the mankind of the last era Allah sent Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as the Last Prophet and as the blessings to the universe. He is the leader of all Prophets / Nabis / Rasuls. He is the best and highest learned man of the whole mankind. He is established on correct path and guide of correct path. He who follow the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) it is as if he has followed Allah.
6. Allah has descended the Holy Quran on the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as the guidelines/regulation for the whole mankind for leading life (from birth to death). It is the duty of everyone to put complete faith on the regulation given in the Holy Quran about leading life and lead the life accordingly.
7. After accepting faith, it is the duty of everyone to practice the religion. Faith and practice are co-related. Leaving one, another is valueless. Kalema (Belief) is the key to heaven and practice of religion is the teeth of the key. (Al Hadis)
8. For Imandars (Believers) praying regularly and leading life as per rules & regulation of Shariat (Islam) is mandatory. Praying to Allah in the decided way (by Allah), to express humbleness to Allah, to follow the orders of Allah and to be obedient to Allah is named as Ibadat.
In rules & regulation of Islamic Shariat the main duty is to:
A. Offer Salat (prayer) regularly,
B. Perform Fasting,
C. Give Jakat (sacrifice wealth to poors as per regulation),
D. Perform Hajj -e- Baitullah (Kaba).
Besides this Obedience and dutifulness to parents, donate/sacrifice wealth, mutual transaction, perform social duties etc. Everybody should know the rules and regulation of Islam. As such they should learn knowledge about Islam, which has been made Farz (compulsory). Allah Rabbul Alamin has mentioned clearly in the Holy Quran in this regard. It is mentioned, only the intellectual people accept the advice. In it (Quran) there is advice for the people having power of understanding. In it (Quran) definitely there is example for the wise society.
ILM (KNOWLEDGE)
All the Ilm (Knowledge) has been classified in four category:
1. Ilm-e- Shariat (Rules and Regulation of Islam)
2. Ilm -e Marifat
3. Hidden Ilm- (Ilm-e-Baten and Tarikat)
4. Totally hidden Ilm ( Hakikat)
The Holy Quran is the totality of all these Ilm. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has said, Shariat is like a tree, whose branches are Tarikat, Marifat are its leaves and Hakikat is its fruit. (Al Hadis).
