What is unseen ( ) and what is its measure?

With Him are the keys of the unseen - the treasures that none

knows but He. He knows whatever there is on the earth and in

the sea. Not a leaf falls (out of zillions of leaves in the worlds)

but He knows it: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths)

of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry, but is (inscribed) in arecord clear0F

1(Kitabil Mobeen ) Quran 6:59

Now, let us suppose that I say: I have collected a valuable

treasure of something in my house. Nobody knows it except me;

even my most beloved friend does not know about it. I have a

huge fifty thousand square yard house. I have put my treasure in

a hidden locker in my house and I have hidden even the key ofthe locker. None but I know where both the locker and the key

are. The security for the treasure is so tight that nobody comes

or goes out of my house without my permission. I have fitted

security cameras in my house. These cameras make clear

recordings of all major and minor incidents in my house.

1Famous translator Abdullah Yusuf Ali and great spiritual scholar Qalandar Baba translated Kitabil Mobeen (

) as a clear record. The Torah was given to Prophet Moses (A.S) on tablets; still Allah used the word Kitab(Book) for it. When we hear the word Kitab or book, into our mind comes a paper book with nice binding and cover.

But Allah, the Perfect and Absolute, is not dependent upon paper or printing press, and nor His record of knowledge

called the Kitabil Mobeen is. A record or recording can be in any form and can be on anything from paper to plastic

or something we cannot understand.

Do you think that by making the above statement, I am under a

permanent binding neither to tell nor to drop hints about my

secret treasure to a most beloved friend of mine? Am I making

an oath with this statement that I shall never tell anyone about it

or share my treasure with them? Does it mean that since only I

know my treasure, and the place where the treasure and the key

are hidden, I cannot show the treasure or its video recordings to

someone? Arent they my possessions? Does anyone have any

right to interfere in my house and my personal belonging? Of

course not! If this is the case with me and my treasure, then,

who has the right to interfere in the matters of Allah, the creatorof the worlds? Unfortunately, we simply do not see below the

surface meanings of the Quran and Holy Scriptures because we

do not meditate.

Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah knows what

is unseen: nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up(for Judgment) Quran 27:65

The first ayah of Quran quoted above tells us that all the things,

known and unknown, seen and unseen in the universes with

minutest details of their existences and movements, exist in an

open record which is a treasure of Allah. This Record has beencalled Kitabil Mobeen in the Quran. The knowledge of this

Record is Ilmul Gaib ( ) in Arabic, meaning knowledge


4/78

4

of the unseen. Allah further tells us that with Him are the

(password) keys or access codes of this record.

Therefore, one line definition of unseen is: Gaib is a record of

infinite knowledge of Allah which is clear and open for His

sight, but it is hidden from His created beings. Put differently,

Kitabul Mobeen or what is in the mind of Allah is Gaib (unseen,

unknown and invisible). Only He knows what is in His mind or

the ones with whom He has shared some portion of this

unlimited knowledge. Allah says this in the following verse:

And when Allah said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say to

mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?he said: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had

no right. If I used to say it, then you knew it. UYou know what is

in my mind, and I know not what is in Your Mind.U Lo! You,

only You, are the Knower of Things Unseen? Quran 5:116

Quran tells us that Allah and His knowledge are limitless. Allahtells us that His knowledge is so huge that no created being can

encircle His complete knowledge. Exactly this thing confuses

many people when they conjecture that since only Allah knows

the visible and invisible, known and unknown or simply the


5/78

5

complete unseen ( ), thats why nobody can know the unseen.

Of course nobody can know even a portion of the unseen if

Allah does not permit! But Allah also says in a verse quoted inthis chapter that created beings cannot encompass anything from

His unlimited knowledge except some portions of it which He

shares with them. We must not forget that a drop of water is

water, and an ocean is also nothing but water; similarly a portion

of unseen ( ) is unseen, and the whole unseen is also unseen

( ). What is meant in the two verses quoted below is that we

cannot put our small hands around an ocean that has no limits.But according to our limitation and ability, we can hold and

drink as much water from the ocean as Allah permits.

He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or

behind them: but they shall not compass it (His unlimited

knowledge) with their (limited) knowledge Quran 20:110

He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or

behind them (meaning past, present and future). Nor shall they

encircle anything of His knowledge except as He wills. His

Throne does extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feels

no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most

High, the Supreme (in glory) Quran 2:255


6/78

Science tells us that there are universes beyond our universe

with up to eleven dimensions. Allah is the Creator and Cherisher

of all the universes (Quran 1:1) and everything that exists in

time and space. He sees all the things that exist or happen in day

or night (Quran 22:61) and for Him past, present and future of

universes and all the beings and things, which means whole time

and space, are gathered in as a small dot in His knowledge. We

have explained this Black Dot in detail under the heading

Mans connection with the unseen in this book.

Unto Him belongs whatsoever rests in the night and the day. He

is the Hearer, the Knower Quran 6:13

From Allah, verily nothing is hidden on earth or in the heavens

Quran 3:5

When Prophet Mohammad (blessings of Allah upon him) was

asked to comment about knowledge of unseen and the time of

the Day of Judgment, He was told by Allah to say to people that

as a limited being he did not and could not know the whole

unlimited unseen ( ). Allah says to Prophet Mohammad

(Blessings of Allah upon him):


7/78

7

They ask you of the (destined) Hour, when it will come. Say:

Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He alone will

manifest it at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and

the earth. UOnly, all of a sudden will it come to you. U They ask

you as if you were eager in search thereof. Say: Knowledgethereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know not

Quran 7:187

Say (O! Mohammad): "I have no power over any good orharm to myself except as Allah wills. If I had knowledge of

the (whole content of) the unseen (The Open Book), I should

have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me:

I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who

have faith." Quran 7:188


8/78

8

Unto Him is referred (all) knowledge of the Hour. And no

fruits burst forth from their sheaths, and no female carries or

brings forth but without His knowledge. And on the day when

He calls unto them: Where are now My partners? They will

say: We confess unto Thee, not one of us is a witness (for

them) Quran 41:47

Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendsdown the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No soul

knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what

land it will die. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware Quran 31:34

Allah also tells us in the ayah above that a moment will come

in the lives of people in the future when Hour of Judgment willhappen all of sudden and no more it will be a hidden mystery for

humanity, for all the people will be present and witnessing it;

then, its time of happening will come out of unseen ( ) and

will become a manifestation ( ).

Does Allah reveal unseen ( ) to anyone and how?

Allah tells us in the Quran that whatever Mohammad (blessings

of Allah upon him) spoke, it was by revelation from Allah and

with knowledge, received from Him. His words are words of

Allah uttered through his mouth; therefore, we must respect the

Quran and also his sayings called the Hadith.

Nor does he (Mohammad ) speak of (his own) desire. It is noless than inspiration ( ) that is inspired ( ) Quran 53:3

There not a single explicit verse in the Quran, Bible or any Holy

Scripture in which Allah gave His word that He will not or did

not reveal His knowledge ( / ) to anyone. In that case,

many verses of Quran quoted in this chapter would not be true.

(O Mohammad) Say: "Verily my Lord casts ( ) the truth (over

His servants) - He who is the Knower of Unseen." 34:53


10/78

10

It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except

by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a

messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills:

for He is Most High, Most Wise Quran 42:51

Allah uses the word reveal numeroustimes in the Quran to tell

us that as a mercy from Him, he reveals knowledge of The Open

Book ( ) by various means for the benefit and guidance ofall the living and non-living beings other than prophets. He tells

us that He speaks with humans through (i) inspiration (ii) veil

(iii) and by a messenger man or angel.

The verses of Quran quoted below tell us that Allah sends

detailed and step-by-step revelation to honey bee for producing

honey. He sent revelation to disciples of Jesus and mother of

Moses (A.S). He revealed through angels and archangel Gabriel

details of the unseen ( ) or the things to come to the mother of

Jesus (A.S), Mary (blessings of Allah upon her), who was notsent as a prophet to any nation. Even before she conceived her

child, she knew in advance without the support of ultra-sound

technology that she will give birth to a male child without

human intervention and she also enjoyed the pleasure of

knowing that her son will be a mighty prophet of Allah; this

kind of knowledge is a branch of spiritual science which is

known to only those people who know the spiritual content ofQuran.

However, what science and technology can do the most for

us is that it can reveal male or female sex of a child or any birth


11/78

11

defects in him/her before birth. But definitely, it cannot reveal

sex of a child before conception, and of course, it cannot reveal

before conception or birth whether someone will be a carpenter,

healer or a prophet.

Only Allah can reveal to living and non-living beings in the

seven heavens and earths their duties and tasks. Definitely, all

these beings are not prophets by any chance. For instance, the

honey bee does not know anything about producing honey when

it comes out of Larva or Pupa. When we meditate in these facts,

we come to know that revelations from Allah are not specific toprophets only as it has become a general public opinion. We

should understand that basis of this opinion was formulated by

those deceived scholars who had gone astray from ( )pattern of thought in revelation from Allah (Wahi).

And your Lord revealed (sent Wahi: ) to the bee, saying:

build your cells in the hills and in the trees and in that which

they thatch. Then eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your

Lord, made smooth (for you). There comes from within theirbellies a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for men:

verily in this is a Sign for those (open-minded) who reflect

(impartially) Quran 16:68-69


12/78

And when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah has chosen you

and made you pure, and has preferred you above (all) the

women of all the worlds. O Mary! Be obedient to your Lord,

prostrate yourself and bow with those who bow (in

congregational prayer ( )). This is part of the news of the

unseen which We reveal to you (O Messenger!) by inspiration:You were not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to

which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: No

were you with them when they disputed (the point). Behold! the

angels said: "O Mary! Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word

from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held

in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of)

those nearest to Allah; "He shall speak to the people in

childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) ofthe righteous." She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son

when no man has touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah creates

what He wills: When He has decreed a plan, He but says to it,


13/78

13

'Be,' and it is!"And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom,

the Law and the Gospel. And will make him a messenger to the

Children of Israel Quran 3:42-48

He (angel Gabriel said to Mary): "Nay, I am only a messenger

from your Lord (to give) to you the gift of a holy son (Jesus)

Quran 19:19

"And indeed We conferred a favor on you (Moses) another time

(before)."Behold! We sent to your mother, by inspiration, themessage: "'Throw (the child) into the chest, and throw (the

chest) into the river: the river will cast him up on the bank, and

he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy

to him': But I cast (the garment of) love over you (Moses) from

Me: and (this) in order that you may be reared in front of my eye

Quran 20:37-39

"And behold! I inspired the disciples (of Jesus) to have faith in

Me and My Messenger: they said, 'We have faith, and do you

bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims'" Quran 5:111


14/78

14

So He completed them as seven heavens in two Days, andinspired (by Wahi ) in each heaven its (assigned) duty

Quran 41:12

Qalandar Baba says: Islamic scholars were greatly

influenced by Greek philosophy particularly in the 3rd

,4

thand 5

th

centuries. Their intellect appears to be traversing the path

formulated by philosophy. In fact, these deceived scholars haddrifted away fromcognition of Allah ( ) which had reached

companions ( ) of Prophet Mohammad (blessing of Allah

upon him), their successors ( ) and their followers ( ).The reality described in the teachings of the prophets was not

only rendered ambiguous but was made almost absurd by these

followers of philosophy and conjectures. Their intellect made it

complex and intricate and they made distorting alterations in theteachings of the prophets which made their disciples go astray.

Hence, the result of these alterations was this that in the

teachings of mainstream scholars of Islam, the concept of

guidance from Allah through inspiration, vision and true dreams

(

) were gradually replaced with conjecture ( .(

Then later, despite the fact that Allah forbids following

conjecture and says that it cannot take the place of truth revealed

by Him through various means, besides Quran and Hadis,

conjecture ( also became accepted source of legislation (


15/78

15

in Islam instead of inspiration, and possibility of direct guidance

from Allah was thrown out from Islam. This is the reason why

opinion of Sufi scholars differs from mainstream scholars of

Islam on this subject. The Sufi scholars are blessed by guidance

and information from Allah regarding religious and cosmic

affairs and they are glad with it, while the mainstream scholars

of Islam who have no connection with Allah and who do not

know the true worth of inspiration from Allah (Kashf and ilham

) mostly rely on conjecture to formulate Fatwa (meaningopinion in English) for religious, social, economic, political and

spiritual matters.

But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing

but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth

Quran 53:28

If you obey most of those on earth they would mislead you

far from Allah's way. They follow nothing but opinion (Fatwa),

and they do nothing but guess Quran 6:116

O you who believe! Avoid too much conjecturing for some

conjectures are sin Quran 49:12


16/78

16

Say: "Of your 'partners' is there any that can give any

guidance towards truth?" Say: "It is Allah Who gives guidance

towards truth, is then He Who gives guidance to truth more

worthy to be followed, or he who finds not guidance (himself)

unless he is guided? what then is the matter with you? How

judge you?" Most of them (on earth) follow nothing butconjecture. Assuredly conjecture can by no means take the place

of truth. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do Quran 10:35-36

We would like to ask a question here: should the followers

of Quran remain content with the surface meaning of the verses

of Quran and keep drawing faulty conclusions in line with faulty

opinion (Fatwa) and conjecture of deceived scholars? Do they

still need to live in this illusion that Allah does not revealknowledge to anyone and that nobody can discover whatever

there is on the earth and in the sea? Should not they make search

and research their forte like other nations of the world?

Early Muslim scientists, Sufi scholars and scientists have

discovered so much about whatever there is on the earth, under

the earth, in the seas and in between the earth and skies that weare forced to accept that the ayah (Quran 6:59) quoted in the

beginning of this book does not mean what we assume it means.

This ayah does say that with Allah are the keys of the unseen

treasures; but it does not have any connotation that He will not


17/78

17

unlock them or will not share anything from them. In fact,

survival of His creatures and created beings is dependent upon

His uninterrupted Mercy and unseen treasures. If the survival of

human beings is dependent upon oxygen which is exhaled by

plants, the survival of plants is dependent upon carbon dioxide

which is exhaled by human beings after intake of oxygen. And

both, oxygen and carbon dioxide are from the treasures of His

mercy. Therefore, we need to correct our understanding and

interpretation.

Another thing which we need to understand is this that inthis ayah the reference is to certain things to come; for instance,

Day of Judgment and some scientific or spiritual facts which

Allah will reveal to the people at their appropriate time.

However, it does not mean by any chance that Allah cannot and

will never reveal unknown and unseen ( ) things to people.

The science has developed so much that now it is quitepossible to know in advance what in the womb is with the aid of

ultra sound technology. This discovery is not at all in confliction

with the verse of Quran: And He knows that which is in the

wombs (Quran 31:34). He did not say would not let anyone

else know what in the womb is whether it is a male or female,

and healthy or sick child. It was wrong conjecture of scholars

that Allah will not let anyone know the unseen, unknown andinvisible things. Like we said earlier, Allah shares His

knowledge of the unseen with all His creatures; otherwise, their

survival would have been not only difficult but also impossible,

because, all living creatures from birth to death are dependent


18/78

18

upon thoughts from Allah. The current of life in all living beings

is dependent upon thoughts, imaginations and feelings. In the

absence of thoughts and imaginations which are inspired by

Allah, values of life will not only become impaired but also

incomplete; and, in the end this will render the survival of living

beings impossible.

There is no doubt that the science does not and cannot keep

record of all the things that exist in unseen. But, on the flip side,

this is also a fact that by the inspirations from Allah, a lot of

unknown and unseen ( ) has become accepted science, and

scientific development will continue even further in the future.

This development would have been impossible if Allah stopped

inspiring people with ideas and imaginations. Allah revealed in

the Quran that these inspirations are revelation of the Book.

Another example of revelation of the Book is invention of

electricity by Nikola Tesla who was a very religious Serbianscientist. People would have still been living in darkness if Allah

did not inspire him with creative ideas for its invention. But

when Tesla started having God-sent visions and dreams, he

succeeded not only in producing electricity, but also in sending

it wirelessly. Of course Nikola Tesla was not a prophet of God.

But he attributes his inventions such as electricity, wireless

technology, Aura photography and many other electronicgadgets to the detailed inspirations ( ) from God. Tesla used to

receive detailed diagrams and pictures ( ) about his

inventions in his visions. He had understood better than any self-

proclaimed believer that the Mercy and inspirations from God


19/78

19

are priceless, and that only as a mercy from Him, He reveals the

unseen. His sincerity and attachment with God and His creations

was to this limit that he gave patent rights for many of his

valuable scientific inventions free of cost for the cause of

humanity.

The self-proclaimed believers and the open unbelievers,

both who fall into the category of material worshippers, have

much more faith in material means and things then in the

Creator of the worlds. To understand this, just imagine a

situation in which you are sitting in a room with someone inBelgrade and he says to you: You know! I have a window in

my soul through which I can see the Big Ben Tower in London.

I see clearly the watch on it and I can even tell you what the

time on it is. I see clearly the buildings and things around it. I

can see things near and far in time and space through the

window in my soul.

Your first reaction will be this that you will consider this

person who makes such a claim to be either crazy or a liar, or

think that he is just a poet. The words of unbelievers were

documented in the Quran when Prophet Mohammad (blessings

of Allah upon him) and other prophets and saints (Auliya Allah)

told to people that they had Tele-viewing (meaning far-off

viewing) capabilities; they were duly rejected and even given

titles of liar, crazy and poet.

But Allah has opened up his signs as He had promised in

the Quran. The facts in the Quran which were once considered


20/78

20

science fiction or called fairy tales by disbelievers in the time of

Prophet Mohammad (blessings of Allah upon him) have become

established science. Now, if the same person in our present time

says: You know! I have installed new Windows on my laptop;

through it I can see live the Big Ben Tower and buildings

around it. Now, you have no problem in believing him; do you

know why? Because, use of heavy machinery and material is

involved in this discussion; and, your own belief in matter

material things is stronger than belief in God, who is the original

creator of matter and machinery. You consider it very normal

for a modern man to be equipped with modern technology whichenables him to see the Big Ben Tower live from far off distance

and in an entirely different time zone. But, on the other hand,

you have a great problem in believing this reality that whatever

is about to happen or exist, and everything that happened or

existed in the universe, is present in the knowledge of Allah

even at this moment. You assume things which are in direct

contradiction with Quran and wrongly believe it to beimpossible for the All-knowing and All-seeing Allah to show

the unseen to anyone whenever He wants.

Unfortunately, only the values have changed, but people

have not. Even after Allah has put up open signs in front of

people through science, they havent stopped denying the signs

(verses of Quran) about the unseen. They still consider it to be

myth and mysticism.

Nevertheless, the Window which Allah has put in the

Soul is a much bigger reality than any digital window on


21/78

21

computer or TV screen because through this Window from

earth up to the throne of Allah is visible to the chosen ones of

Allah.

The most advanced scientific knowledge in the Quran was

ridiculed and denied. It documented words of Allah, His

Prophets and His friends. A friend of Allah in the court of

Prophet Suleiman (blessing of Allah upon) said he could, not

only see the throne of Queen Saba at a far off distance, but that

he would fly it into the court in 1000th part of a second. Then, in

order to prove his point, he brought it in front of all the people inthe court. Though, this was too much for primitive Makkan

disbelievers, but we, with all our scientific advancement, still lag

far behind in its comprehension or explanation, let alone its

actualization.

One man (in the court of Prophet Solomon) who had

knowledge of the Book said: "I will bring it (the throne of

Queen Saba from a far off place) to you within the twinkling of

an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him,

he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether Iam grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his

gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful,

truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honor!" Quran

27:40


22/78

22

Most of the people on earth have a problem in accepting

this reality that only people are dependent upon material

resources, gadgets and devices, but their originator, the God, is

not.

Allah, the All-Almighty and All-Powerful, has installed in

every soul a divine Window to see things far and near in time

and space. He tells us in the following verse of Quran that this

Window is not working because it is infected with virus of

doubt in the unseen and covered with rust of ill deeds.

By no means! but on their hearts is the rust of the (evil)

which they do Quran 83:14

The Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings of God be uponhim) said: When a slave commits a sin, a black spot appears on

his heart (or soul which block his spiritual vision). But if he

gives it up, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart will be

cleansed, but if he repeats it, (the blackness) will increase until it

covers his heart (and renders him spiritually blind) (Narrated by

al-Tirmidhi, 3257; Ibn Maajah, 4234; classed as Hassan (sound)

by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 3422).

Due to the rust in hearts, when people close their eyes to

meditate in the unseen or the verses of the Quran, they only see

blank black screen in front of them. But this is not the case with


23/78

23

prophets and chosen ones of God (Auliya Allah). Allah lets

them perceive and see things of the unseen ( ) as much as he

deems fit. He permits them to connect to upper dimensionsthrough Tele-Visions (visions of far off distance) and network

connection in the soul. Then, on the basis of their visionary

experiences (Kashf-o-Shuhud), they tell to people where the

man was before he was born in this world and where he goes

after completing his lifetime in this world.

Therefore, it should be the demand of our curiosity that we

scratch below the surface meanings of the Quran and see if there

are also some spiritual and metaphysical facts which lie hidden

in the Open Book ( ), the knowledge of which will make us

advance on the spiritual and scientific path. Here, we shall quote

an example. For instance, Allah, the all-knowing tells us in the

Quran and Bible that:

But His command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says

to it: Be! and it is Quran 36:82

God said (to the light): Let there Be light, and there was light

Bible, Genesis 1:3

Clear meaning of these verses of Quran and Bible is this

that things do exist somewhere before they come into existence;

otherwise, Allah could not speak with them and give to them the

command Be, meaning come into another kind of existence


24/78

24

and Move. All the things that exist have their first existence in

the knowledge of Allah and they are always within the domain

of His knowledge: nothing can have existence outside His

knowledge.

Qalandar Baba, a great spiritual scientist of highest cadre,

discuses world of spirits (Alam-e-Amr ), which came intoexistence as a result of the command Be, elaborately in Loh-

Qalam, his masterpiece book on spiritual science. In this book,

he explains in detail the four worlds: (i) Knowledge of the Pen

(ilumul Qalam), (ii) the world of command (Alam-e-Amr )

or the world of Loh-e-Mehfuz ( ) (iii) the world of

illustration ( ) or world of creations (Alam-e-Khalq )

(iv) and material world ( ).

He tells us that when Allah, the All-Mighty, intends to give

separate existence to things away from His Self, He commandsthem Be and as a result a new world comes into existence

which is called world of command (Alam-e-Amr ) or theworld of Loh-e-Mehfuz. This means that intention begins the

universe with all its visible and invisible components and their

motions1F2. Qalandar Baba Auliya Allah, the knower of the

command Be (Kun and the resulting existence (Fa Yakun ( ) tells us that the place or the knowledge in which things

existed before coming into existence is Gods own personal

2Allah tells us in the verse of the Quran (6:59) quoted at the top of this Book that not a leaf falls but every frame of

its movements has its record or recording in His knowledge. The science of videography (The word combines

video from Latin meaning I see or I apprehend, with the Greek terminal ending graphy, meaning to

write.) has enabled us to discover that motion is of anything is in reality display of different still images which

when they are made to run on screen, give us the illusion of motion. In short, motion is made of still images.


25/78

25

knowledge. The same knowledge or Knowledge of Pen (ilumul

Qalam) has been referred to as The Open Book (Kitabil Mobeen

), the Mother of all the divine books and scriptures ( ) or abbreviated to The Book ( ) in the Quran.

Narrow-minded religious scholar might consider that The

Book or The Open Book called the Kitabil Mobeen ( )

is just about religion or religious affairs ( ). But

Qalandar Baba, the divine scholar ( ), tells us that itencompasses all spheres of life in the universe. Science, art,

agriculture, culture, economy, metrology, finance, psychology,

astronomy, spiritual sciences and decisions regarding life and

death of a planet, insect, human and Jinn is recorded in the

Book;there is not a subject or thing that has been left in The

Book.

And all things We have kept in a clear Book Quran 36:12

He further tells us: First and foremost is the Supreme

Being of Allah, the most exalted, and record of His knowledge

is called the Open Book. The universe existed in His knowledge

under His will. When exhibitory display of the universe wasdesired by Allah, the most exalted, He commanded Be (Kun

), meaning Move! Thus, whatsoever existed in Hisknowledge in the form of universe, it stirred and motion started.

The first movement was this that every existing individual

perceived itself. Every individual had this realization that I am.

But it was a state of oblivious absorption. Every individual was

submerged in an ocean of oneness that has no existing limits.

Every individual has only this much awareness that he is. But,

where he is, what he is or how he is he had no idea as such.

The same state is termed as unification of the being ( ).Mystics (Sufis or pious ones) also call it oneness. This unity is

not by any chance, the unity of Allah, the Supreme creator,

because it is simply not possible that any attribute of supreme

creator could be encased in words or phrases of any language.

This unity is merely and artifice of the human mind and only

depicts the limitations and constraints of human thinking, which

is completely at a loss to narrate justifiably any boundless

Attribute of Allah, the most high. It is impossible to express any

attribute of Allah by one word or any word of human language.

After the state of unification of being, the state of unification ofobservation ( ) commences at which stage all (yours,

mine, living and non-living beings) souls are addressed by

Allah, the Most High by these words:

When your Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from

their loins - their descendants and made them testify of

themselves, (saying): Am I not your cherisher and sustainer?,


27/78

27

They (saw Him and heard Him on the first day just as they

will see and hear Him on the Day of Judgment ( ) (Quran

32:12)) said: Yes, no doubt (You are). We testify. (Thistestification was done) lest you should say on the Day of

Resurrection: Lo! We were unaware of this (reality that you are

Allah, our sustainer)2F

3 Quran 7:172

From this point in time the sight of the man, who is the edict of

Lord ( ), comes into being and he beholds that someone has

addressed him. The sight focuses on the addressing entity and hesays, Yes, Indeed (). I acknowledge your Lordship and I do

recognize you. This is the point where the Lords Edict ( )

made its second move or turned around for the second time. At

this stage he is introduced to plurality. He saw that other

creatures were also present besides him; because, now he was

conscious of manifested ( ) crowd of other creatures around

him; he had been given sight to see. This was the second descentof knowledge of the incumbent. Deep realization of his own

being and observation of other creatures was acquired by the

man in the limits of this descent. The first descent was in the

form of knowledge and a knower, that is, man only had

realization of his own existence. In this realization ofI am, I

is the knower and am is knowledge. In the second descent

when he comes out state of lostfulness, he witnesses himself andothers too; this very state is termed as the state of unification of

3This reality that we heard and saw our sustainer and testified to Him directly lies deep in the soul. No matter what

the people say to deny it by offering excuses, Allah, Quran and our souls are witness to this fact that we knew, heard

and saw our Creator even before we were born, otherwise we could not testify he was our sustainer in the life before

our birth in this material world.


28/78

28

observation (Alam-e-wahdatush-shuhud ). Whenthe first descent, which was only perception, acquired depth of

feeling, then sight was created. Sight is another name for depthin perception.

In short, there are two records of beings and things; one

record is in the knowledge of Allah and another record or film is

of the intention of Allah. Whatever movement or change was

about to take place, its exact frame-by-frame, pictorial

presentation is present in the Loh-e-Mehfuz. Both these records

reveal two separate worlds beyond our physical universe. In fact

both these records are the Unseen ( ) for the creatures. The

record of the knowledge of Allah is called the Unseen of the

Unseen ( ) and, record of the intention of Allah is called

the Unseen ( ).

We have already said that Quran and Qalandar Baba tell us

that there are two records: one record is of the knowledge of

Allah and another record is of the intentions of Allah regarding

universe. The record of the knowledge of Allah is called Kitabil

Mobeen; therefore, there is only one Kitabil Mobeen. The

universe existed in the knowledge of Allah under His command.

When He intended to give it a separate existence away from His

self, He commanded it to Be. This world which came into

existence as result of command Be or Kun ( ) is calledLoh-e-Mehfuz. Qalandar Baba tells us that there are other Loh-

e-Mehfuzs and under them other universes beyond our universe.


29/78

29

In the Kitabil Mobeen there are 300.000.000 protected tablets or

Loh-e-Mehfuzs.


30/78

Why do the verses of Quran seem copied from Bible and

other Holy Scriptures?

Allah, the Almighty, chose messengers for the guidance of

humanity, and for that purpose He tells us in the Quran that He

sent portions of The Book. The Quran, the verses of original

Bible which are still in their unaltered form and all other holy

scriptures sent by Allah are transcribed portions of the Open

Book and of the film of Loh-e-Mehfuz.

In order for to us to comprehend this fact, Allah repeats the

subject of The Book two hundred and eighteen times in one

hundred and ninety three ayahs; few of these have been given

below for reference; but, the misery is, most people still do not

want to understand the point.

Ha-Mim. By the Open Book that makes things clear, We have

made it (the Open Book) a Qur'an in Arabic that you may be

able to understand. And verily, it (the Quran) is in the Mother of

the Book, in Our Presence, high (in dignity), full of wisdom

Quran 43:1-4

Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an, (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved

(Loh-e-Mehfuz) Quran 85:21-22


31/78

31

(This Quran is) the Revelation of the Book in which there is nodoubt, from the Lord of the Worlds Quran 32:2, 46:2, 45:2,

40:2, 39:1

That which We have revealed to you (Mohammad) of the Book

(Kitabil Mobeen) is the Truth, verifying what was (revealed)

before it Quran 35:31

And indeed it (the Quran) is a Book of mighty power Quran

41:41

Have you not seen those (Christians, Jews and Hindus etc.) who

have been given a portion of the Book (the Open Book

)? They are (once again) invited to The Book of Allah (in

the form of Quran) to settle their disputes, but a party of them

Turn back and decline (The arbitration) Quran 3:23, 4:51


32/78

32

O people (Christians, Jews, Hindus etc.) of The Book! There has

come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that you

used to hide in The Book, and passing over much (that is now

unnecessary). (Again) There has come to you from Allah light

and the Open Book ( ) Quran 5:15

Those unto whom We gave The Book before it (the Quran), they

believe in it (in this Quran in a continuation) Quran 28:52

Usually Bible scholars criticize that Quran was copied from

Bible and that Mohammad (Blessings of Allah upon him) learnt

from a Bible scholar and then wrote this Quran. Bible scholars

and sometimes even Muslim scholars fail to put pieces of puzzle

together; the source of the Quran and all the Holy Scriptures is

one writer, the God and one Mother of Books called the Open

Book ( ) in the Quran.

Of course many verses of Bible, Quran and other Holy

Scriptures and writings are exactly similar or similar in content

and they could not have been different as they are not the

handiwork of human hand, but of one divine hand of God - the

one who owns the copyright of the original book which has been

mentioned in the Quran as the Open Book. By the way, how

could the Bible scholars even notice that there are similarities

between Bible and Quran if there were none? Various prophets,

messengers and God-fearing people in various times and various


33/78

33

parts of the world were inspired by the one existing, subsisting

God with same facts that originate from one and the same Book.

But the people who have turned a blind eye to the knowledge of

the unseen are in dense darkness. It is so because they have shut

the window to the possibility of knowing portions of the

unseen which Allah reveals to His chosen ones.

For reasons mentioned above, Allah asks scholars of the

previous scriptures in the Quran how they can reject content of

the Quran when they know it is from the same God who sent

Jesus, Moses and Mohammad, etc. (blessings of Allah uponthem) with similar verses:

Without doubt it (the Quran which is a portion of the Open

Book) is in the scriptures of former peoples. Is it not a sign for

them that Learned of the Children of Israel (already) know it?

Quran 26:196-197

And when there came unto them a prophet (Moses, Jesus and

finally Mohammad) from Allah, confirming that (portion of thebook) which they still possessed (in the unaltered form), a party

of those (Christians, Jews, Hindus etc.) who received the

Scriptures (earlier) threw away the Book of Allah behind their

backs as if they knew not Quran 2:101


34/78

34

The people of the Book know this (Quran) as they know their

own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they

themselves know Quran 2:146

Those to whom We have given the Book know this (Quran) as

they know their own sons. Those who have lost souls refuse

therefore to believe Quran 6:20

Verily! my Protecting Friend is Allah Who revealed the Book

(from time to time to different prophets).He befriends therighteous Quran 7:196

Allah blots out what He wills, and establishes (what He wills),

and with Him is the Mother of Book Quran 13:39


35/78

35

Mankind was one single nation, and Allah sent Messengers with

glad tidings and warnings; and with them He sent the (same)

Book in truth, to judge between people in matters wherein they

differed; but the (present and previous) People of the Book, after

the clear Signs came to them did not differ among themselves

except through hatred one of another. Allah by His Grace guided

the believers to the Truth, concerning that wherein they differed.

For Allah guides whom He will to a path that is straight Quran2:213

When Allah made (His) covenant with all the prophets, (He

said): Behold that which I have given you of The Book andWisdom. And afterward there will come unto you a

messenger, confirming that which you possess. You shall

believe in him and you shall help him. He (Allah) said: Do you

agree, and will you take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in

this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: "Then bear

witness, and I am with you among the witnesses." Quran 3:81

Certainly, this covenant was not made with the prophets in

this world as it is clear and logical. It was certainly made before

their arrival in this world in the presence of Allah where all the

1.25.000 prophets were gathered apart from the spaces in time in


36/78

36

their physical birth. From this fact we can draw only one

conclusion that people had conscious even before they were

born in this world.


37/78

37

What are the sources of knowledge of the unseen?

The unseen or gaib is relative to people; whatever you havenot seen or experienced is your unseen or gaib, but it is not

unseen of someone who has experienced it. The unseen of

humans is known and seen of angels. The angels and Jinns

partly knew the unseen of humanity before their creation.

And when your Lord said to the angels: Lo! I am about to place

a viceroy in the earth, they said: Will you place in it one who

will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn

Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which

you know not Quran 2:34

From the verse above it is evident that angels and Jinns hadsome knowledge of deeds of men beforehand. They knew that

men will shed blood on earth, but they had no idea of their

knowledge with which Allah was supposed to bless them. This

given knowledge from the presence of Allah called Ilm-e-luduni

( ) in Quran was far more advanced than the knowledge

possessed by angels and Jinns put together. On the basis of this

knowledge, the display of which was made by Adam, thesuperiority of man was established over angels and Jinns. Thats

why angels had to prostrate to the beatific reflection of

Attributes of Allah ( ) in the dummy of Adam.


38/78

38

Behold, your Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man

from clay. And when I have fashioned him and breathed into

him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate Quran

38:71-72

And He taught Adam all the (attributive) names3F4; then He

placed them (the things in the universe) before the angels, and

said: "Tell me the names of these (things) if you are right." They

said: Be glorified! We have no knowledge except that which you

have taught us. Lo! You, only You, are the Knower, the Wise

Quran 2:31-32

Allah also gave to the prophets ( ) and Auliya (prophetsand saints) knowledge (Ilm-e-luduni ( )) of The Book(Kitab) in the form of Quran, Bible and other Holy Scriptures.

But Allah repeats this thing again and again in the Quran that

they were given only a portion or some portion of the Book

(meaning Kitabil Mobeen and Loh-e-Mehfuz); only Allah hascomplete knowledge of The Book. Otherwise, Prophet

Mohammad (blessings of Allah upon him) would not have been

4Qalandar Baba Auliya Allah has explained in detail in his book how the universe and all the things in it came into

existence with descend of Attributes of Allah. These are the same Attributive names, the knowledge of which was

blown into the dummy of Adam.


39/78

39

told by Allah that did not know when the Judgment Day would

be.

As for that which We inspire in you of the Book (Kitabil

Mobeen), it is the Truth confirming that which was (revealed)

before it Quran 35:31

The Arabic word Gaib (unseen or invisible) does not mean

none existing or absent ( ). It simply means that certainthings exist but they are invisible to some created beings. But

according to verses of Quran nothing is invisible to Omni-seeing

( ) God. Therefore, as have said earlier, unseen ( ) is

relative and it is related to creatures only. If the Omni-potent (

) is willing, He can show or let anyone know about it

at any time He wants; nobody is there to stop Him.

We all know that angels and Jinns are creatures of unseen

world and they live behind the curtain of Unseen ( But .(the world in which they live, their own lives and activities are

not unseen ( ) for them. On the contrary, it is manifest ( ) forthem.

Hence, the unseen (Gaib) of ordinary men is visible to theangels: unseen of angels is visible to prophets and friends of

Allah: unseen of prophets, saints and all the created beings is in

the knowledge of Allah, and it is in a record which has been

called Kitabil Mobeen.


40/78

40

In this context we must keep one more thing in mind that

Allah created man to be viceroy and not the angels. And in order

to accomplish his duties as a viceroy, He gave him far more

superior knowledge of the unseen than the angels or any other

living beings. Therefore, any friend of Allah, whether he is a

prophet or saint, must know about the unseen (the Book and

wisdom) as much as Allah teaches him. Allah explained this

thing by mentioning example of Jesus Christ in the Quran:

And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Torah

and the Gospel Quran 3:48

When we look at the success track record of Prophets of

Allah such as Mohammad, Jesus or Moses etc., (blessings of

Allah upon them) and how much they influenced humancivilizations, history and culture, it is every evident that though

they were not university post-graduates or doctorates, but still

they possessed knowledge and wisdom which was not for a

certain era but it was universal in the sense that it shines through

even today.


41/78

41

Who are denied knowledge of The Book?

Those whose effort gets astray in the life of the world, and yet

they reckon that they do good work Quran 18:104

Allah says in the Quran that majority of people on earth

know only the outer (things) in the life of this world: but they

are unaware of the End of things (Quran 30:7). All their lives,their efforts keep roaming in the worldly affairs and in

achievement of worldly goals, and in the end they think they are

successful people when they look at their huge worldly

achievements. They are neither interested nor meditate in the

signs of Allah so that they could discover the purpose of

creation. The disbelievers and hypocrites in their daily routine

give preference to the life of this world and desire nothing but

life of this world (Quran 79:38, 53:29, 53:29). Givingthemselves up to (worldly) enjoyment makes more sense to

them (29:66). They love the life of this world more than the

Hereafter (Quran 14:3, 16:107). The mutual rivalry for piling up

(the good things of this world) diverts them (from serious

contemplation in their soul (Quran 102:1,)). Consequently Allah

forgets them the way they forget Allah and denies them access

to the Knowledge which He gave from His presence. They attimes of need pray to God but their communication remains only

one-sided for they never see that Allah hears and sees, and

answers prayers. His answering is heard by only those chosen


42/78

42

ones that have been raised in status by Allah on basis of the

knowledge of the Book.

And your Lord has said: Call on Me and I will answer your

prayer Quran 40:60

The people who have been denied knowledge comment that

we should not as much as open our mouths to speak a word

about the Unseen ( ). We say rightly so; the knowledge of theUnseen is a distinguished attribute of Allah specific to Him

alone. Those who have been denied it had better remained quiet

about it. In their silence lay their safety, for they neither know

anything about it and nor they are cognizant of the Omni-

potency of Allah ( ).

Forever lasting Allah is forever Omni-potent also. He with

His mercy can bestow knowledge ( ) from His presence to

anyone, any time and as much as He wills; no one is there to

hold His hand.

So they found one of Our servants ( ), on whom We had

bestowed Mercy from Ourselves and whom We had taughtknowledge from Our own Presence Quran 18:65

Anyone among the ill-informed, ill-taught and ignorant

who deny or contradict with Allah on this issue will carry a


43/78

43

curse of Allah upon them because they in their ignorance cannot

differentiate between Prophecy ( ) and Mercy ( ). Prophecy

has ended, Mercy of Allah has not, and it cannot stop till theheavens and earth exist. The heavens and earth will also stop

exiting if He stops His mercy. But most people do not

understand the greatness of Allah and His mercy; they

understand only superficial meanings of the verses of Quran.

Their thought never passed near His presence and gifts from His

presence. How could they have an idea that in how many ways

Allah, the Lord of Honor and majesty, showers His blessings

upon His near and dear ones? Allah cursed the ignorant Jews in

the following verse of Quran who made similar statements:

The Jews say: Allahs hand is tied up. Be their hands tied up

and be they accursed ( ) for the (blasphemy ) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: Hegives and spends (of His bounty and treasure of knowledge) as

He pleases Quran 5:64

Quran tells us that before had Allah put down humans on

earth, he addressed each one of them and told them, Hisguidance will come to them regardless of their time and place of

birth and their religious or family background. For that matter,

instead of relying on your own conjecture and drawing

conjectural meaning, please see carefully that Allah uses the


44/78

44

word Jamiyan meaning collectively in the original Arabic

text of the Quran. This word is very similar to the word Jamaat,

which means assembly which we use frequently to refer to

congregational prayers. Hence, all the human beings were

promised guidance. The verse quoted below tells us that all the

human beings were commanded by Allah to get down from

Heavens due to disobeying Allah. But the at the same time He

promised them that His guidance will keep coming to them, and

whoso follows His guidance, they will neither be sad nor they

shall grieve.

The ignorant ones who disagree with obvious meaning of

this verse will certainly have to carry the burden of disagreeing

with Allah. And those who say that true guidance from Allah is

specific to the prophets of Allah only, actually deny a reality in

this Ayah and indirectly say that Allah has breached His promise

which He made to each individual among the humans.

We have met so many people in remote and rural areas of

the world who were born, lived for seventy or eighty years and

died but they never heard Quran, and teachings of the true faith

never reached them. But does it mean that guidance Allah of

never reached them? Of course not! Regardless of physical

factors, Allah sends an urge for guidance to every soul in their

spirit ( ) about their survival in this world and in hereafter,

just as He sends instinctive guidance to an insect inside a stone

and fish at seabed to fight for their survival in this material

world. This is another matter that very few follow this spiritual


45/78

45

urge or utilize the guidance that reaches them physically or

spiritually through divine dreams.

We said: Go down all of you (humans collectively) from here

(the heavens); but verily there comes to you from Me guidance;

and whoso follows My guidance, there shall no fear come upon

them neither shall they grieve Quran 2:34

We have made a mention of this aspect of reality in this

discussion about Unseen, so that those who intend to understand

may understand that Allah showers His blessings upon His

prophets, friends and even ordinary people, and He raises them

in status with knowledge of The Book that comes to them

through inspiration and vision ( ) - the knowledge

which is beyond conscious understanding and comprehension ofhuman beings, Jinns and even angels. However, when the

knowledge of the friends of Allah is manifested through their

miraculous deeds or wisdom words, the angels, the Jinns and

human beings just watch in amazement, because they lack the

ability to provide logical explanation for them.

Say: "Verily my Lord hurls the truth (over His servants), He that

has full knowledge of (all) that is unseen ( )." Quran 34:48


46/78

46

What is Mans Connection with the Unseen?

Before the creation of Adam, Allah made an announcement

that He would make man His vicegerent on earth. The angels

and Jinns asked: Will you make your vicegerent the one who

will shed blood on earth. Allah replied to them that He had

knowledge which they did not possess.

And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place

a viceroy in the earth, they said: Will you place therein one who

will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn

Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that whichyou know not Quran 2:30

After Allah created Adam from dust and from his rib his

progeny, He transferred His most superior knowledge to human

soul. The transference of divine knowledge is described in the

Quran in three different verses of Quran. But this divine

knowledge remains dormant in the soul (human sub-conscious)until Allah brings it to Conscious with revelation and

inspiration. Qalandar Baba says in his book:


47/78

47

There could be thousands of examples of worldly skills

from which we would deduce only one conclusion that by nature

man is everything such as an artist, a writer, a calligrapher, a

tailor, a carpenter, a philosopher, a physician etc. etc. He has to

practice certain exercises to be a master in a specific field. Only

then he is given one of the various names and we say that one

has become an artist or a philosopher. In fact all the abilities and

qualities were already there in his mind (soul). All that a teacher

could do was to be an instrument in awakening the desired

ability.

Coming back to the point, just as a person is an artist, a

calligrapher or a philosopher, similarly he has by nature special

spiritual features and traits of a Cognizor (Knower or ), aspiritualist, a saint, a holy man, a devout or that of a prophet

(since prophethood has come to an end, therefore, no prophet

could be discussed here, only a spiritual person, whatever his

name maybe, is indicated here).

The verses of Quran regarding the transfer of knowledge

are as under:

1.Allah tells us in the following verses of Quran about anincident which took place after He created man from clay

and He blow into him from His soul. In reality the angelsand Jinns were supposed to prostrate to the dummy of man

which was made of mud in which Allah was to blow the

Soul of His Sovereign Attributes ) ). Allah and


48/78

48

Qalandar Baba tell us that these are the same Attributes the

components of which took form of creations.

And thus have We inspired you (Muhammad) a Soul ( ) of

Our command. You knew not what the Book was, nor what the

Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We

will of Our bondmen. And lo! you verily do guide unto a right

path Quran 42:52

The angels understood this fact and prostrated. But the Iblis

(a person from the species of Jinn) argued with Allah about

the outer shell which was made from clay. His argument

was that he was made from fire and man was made from

mud, and since fire can burn mud, therefore, he was

superior to man. But he made two technical mistakes.Firstly, he heard what was being said, but he did not

consider who the speaker was - it was Allah, his Creator

and Sustainer, who is never wrong. Secondly, he looked at

the man who was made from dust or components of earth,

but he failed to acknowledge the Soul of divine Attributes

) ) inside that man.

Iblis mistake of refusal to prostrate due to his arrogance

and ignorance ( ) caused him to become an outcast

and a disbeliever ( Unfortunately, this mistake was not .(done only once by the Lucifer, but, since the day of


49/78

49

creation, ignorant men and Jinn who follow the whispers of

Satan have been repeating this same mistake over and over

again. They in their ignorance not only fail to acknowledge

gift of Allah to the man, but as result of their ignorance, fail

to use this most worthy gift for which they were created.

Unfortunately, only the chosen ones of Allah come to this

understanding that a man cannot be the viceroy of Allah

unless he has understanding of his soul ( ) and the

purpose for which this soul ( ) was blown into his body.Allah tells in the Quran that purpose for which soul was put

inside the body was to serve Allah.

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man

from clay. And when I have fashioned himand breathed into

him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate. So the

angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. Not so Iblis:


50/78

50

he was haughty, and became one of rejecters (Kafireen). (Allah)

said: "O Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating thyself toone

whom I have created with my hands? Are you haughty? Or are

you one of the high (and mighty) ones? " Iblis) said: "I am better

than he:you created me from fire, and him you created from

clay." (Allah) said: "Then you get out from here: for you art

rejected, accursed."And My curse shall be on you till the Day of

Judgment." (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till

the Day the (dead) are raised." (Allah) said: "Respite then is

granted you till the Day of the Time Appointed." (Iblis) said:

"Then, by Your (given) power, I will put them all in the wrong,except your servants among them, sincere and purified (by

Your Grace)." (Allah) said: "Then it is just and fitting and I say

what is just and fitting, that I will certainly fill Hell with you and

all those that follow you." Quran 38:71-85

2. Another verse in Quran discusses the same incident in thesewords that Allah showed to Adam all the things in TheBook and taught him their names and attributes; therefore,

man received from Allah practical and observational

knowledge. In other words, this teaching was not in the

conventional mode of using pen and paper or reading and

memorizing a book. Instead, Allah transferred His knowledge

by blowing into his soul from His spirit and as a result man

observed all the things and their attributes. Then He presented

all the things to the angels and asked them to tell Him their

names. They admitted their ignorance. Then He said to Adam

to make a presentation of his knowledge. After Adam made a

presentation of knowledge which he had received from Allah,


51/78

51

Allah told angels to prostrate to Adam. But the Iblis, who was

from among the Jinns, got confused because of the reason

mentioned earlier. If you can read Arabic text below please

see that Allah says that he became a disbeliever (Kafir) due to

his rejection of divine commandment. It is very clear from

these verses that Iblis used to go into the presence of Allah; he

used to see and communicate with Allah. But then he became

a disbeliever (Kafir) and a rejecter. Therefore, the Arabic

word Kafir (rejecter) does not only mean someone who denies

the existence of God, the Day of judgment etc., but this word

also includes those hypocrite Muslims, Christians, Jews,Hindus and all those who do not obey the commandments of

Allah.

And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed

them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if

you are right." They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge Wehave none, save what You Have taught us: In truth it is You

Who are perfect in knowledge and wisdom." He said: "O Adam!

Tell them their names." When he had told them, Allah said:

"Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth,


52/78

52

and I know what ye reveal and what you conceal?" And behold,

We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam" and they bowed

down. Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty:and so became

a rejecter and disbeliever ( ) Quran 2:31-34

The hypocrites, both men and women, are from one another.They enjoin the evil, and they forbid what is right, and they

withhold their hands (from spending for the cause of Allah).

They forget Allah, so He has forgotten them.Lo! Thehypocrites, they are truly disobedient ones. The Hypocrites will

be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper will you find for

them Quran 9:67, 4:145

3.The third reference regarding transfer of knowledge tells usthat Allah presented His treasure of knowledge to all the

beings in the heavens and earth; they all expressed their

inability to accept it but humans took it. However, after

accepting His treasure of knowledge, they let it lie dormant

in their soul; that is why Allah calls them unjust and

ignorant ones.

We did indeed offer the Trust (of knowledge) to the Heavens

and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake

it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it; He was indeed

unjust and foolish Quran 33:72

Regarding this treasure of knowledge of the Book which

man received from Allah, Qalandar Baba says in his book:

Whether it is in the (conscious) knowledge of an individual or

not, every individual enjoys a specific position in the whole

entirety. If it had not been so, man would not have been familiar

with moon, stars and an altogether different atmosphere existingbeyond his own planet, Earth. His sight sees all the heavenly

bodies, and this thing is a proof of the fact that human senses

recognize environment beyond this globe of ours. This

recognition, in the Sufistic terms, is called cognition of the

Attributes of Allah.

In other words, we could say, sight in human conscioussees the outer or physical universe; whereas, sight in human

Sub-Conscious sees the unseen of the universe. Or put

differently, we could say that mans Sub-Conscious has

comprehensive knowledge of shapes, forms, movements and

internal senses of every particle in the universe. He cannot

understand all these hidden activities only because he does not

know to study his own Sub-Conscious. This study is possible

after awakening potentialities of dreams.

What Qalandar Baba is telling us here is that human soul

possesses a supreme knowledge which even the angels were not


54/78

54

given; thats why they were told to prostrate to man. But

without striving to awaken the Capabilities of the Soul4F5

with the

guidance of revelation ( ) and inspiration ( ), human beingsare as miserable and lowly as any four-footed animal.

For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the

dumb - those who understand not (the Quran) Quran 8:22

Now let us discuss mans connection with the unseen

scientifically. The scientific theory of Big Bang, which was

proved by two scientists who were also awarded with Nobel

Prize, tells us that our forever expanding universe emerged from

a dot with zero volume and infinite density. Science has

discovered only this much that universe is expanding, but where

it is expanding scientists have no idea, because there is nothing

beyond the universe. In scientific terms, a dot with zero volume

means a non-existing dot. In other words, universe was created

by Allah from a dot of nothingness which is beyond the

comprehension and explanation of human consciousness and it

came into being with a well orchestrated and organized outburst

or explosion.

This unknown and unseen reality (Gaib) which wasdiscovered by modern physics only in the 20

thcentury was

revealed by Allah in the Quran more than fourteen centuries

55/78

55

ago. And only He could reveal to us through Quran that the

universe is expanding in His knowledge. The Big Bang Theory

also showed that in the beginning all the beings and things in the

existing visible and invisible universes were gathered in a single

dot and then later they were separated from each other. Qalandar

Baba says: In Tasawwuf, perception of this dot is called the

Fatha ( ). In the Realm of this dot, we and rose are both just

one Self. We begin our life from First beyond the Universe

Conscious called the First Conscious. In other words, a

fountain bursts out in the attributes or attributive knowledge of

Allah; and at the third step it turns into a being. This fountain

bursts from the same dot mentioned in Quran, Tasawwuf and

later in science.

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth Quran 6:101

Have not those who disbelieve seen (in their Soul) that the

heavens and the earth were of one piece (backward in time),

then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water?

Will they not then believe? Quran 21:30

But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of

nothing? Quran 19:67


56/78

56

Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when hewas nothing - (not even) mentioned? Quran 76:1

When Allah wanted to teach names and attributes of all the

things in the universe, he transferred a limited ( ) butsufficient amount of knowledge of His attributes to Adam or the

single Self also called the Soul. Only Allah knows all His

attributes fully and well. Allah tells us in the Quran that He didthat by blowing into a dummy structure of clay the Attributes of

His knowledge.

Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man

from clay. And when I have fashioned him and breathed intohim of My Soul, then fall down before him prostrate Quran

38:71

O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who createdyou from a single soul and from it created its mate and from

them twain has spread abroad a multitude of men and women

Quran 4:1


57/78

57

In this context we must keep in mind the above mentioned

discovery of science and words of Qalandar Baba that the

universe came into existence without physical material and

means. This means that the Universe existed in the knowledge

of Allah under His intention.

Qalandar Baba says: (Previously) when Allah had desired

to create the Universe, He command it Be and the components

of His attributes became the face of universe, that is,

components of attributes of Allah formed themselves into a face

of many versatile things. This face is conglomeration of all thesouls or the components which took distinct shapes of various

created beings. These are same attributes, the knowledge of

which was transferred to the Soul by blowing into the dummy

of man. Revelation and inspiration from Allah of The Book

serve as reminder or revision of this knowledge.

And is it not enough for them that we have sent down to

you the Book which is read to them? Verily, in it is Mercy and

a Reminder to those who believe Quran 29:51

Qalandar Baba continues: Thus, the first definition of the

creation would be that the indivisible entities, the souls, termedas the Command of Allah in the Quran, became visible as

existents. Keeping in mind this definition, we cannot ignore the

relationship between the Creator and the creations (that the


58/78

58

Attributes of the Creator formed themselves into the creations).

This very relationship in Tasawwuf5F6

is termed as Joo (the

Ethereal Realm).

The second definition of Joo is that, that the creatures at

every step are dependent upon their link or connection with the

Creator since the very Attributes of the Creator perpetually

(every 1000th or even less of a second) renew their life. The

wave of the Attributes ( ) keeps passing through the center of

creations.

It is Allah who begins (the process of) creation; then

repeats it (perpetually); then shall you be brought back to Him

Quran 30:11

The man, therefore, at one side is a created being full of

imperfections and faults in his consciousness. But on the otherhand, the soul has conglomeration of unlimited Attributes of

Allah and their knowledge. Allah in an ayah quoted below tells

us that knowledge of the soul given by Him was limited from

His perspective. But on the other side and from the perspective

of created beings, this knowledge is so huge that it seems

unlimited to them.

A simile of this knowledge can be given with an imaginary

pool in the center of an unlimited ocean; it will have all the

6Tasawwuf is a branch of knowledge which focuses on spiritual development and explains the details of this link

between the Creator and creations.


59/78

59

attributes of the ocean and its width and depth, it will be like an

ocean in itself. Though, it will not be the ocean or the Originator

because it will be a creation of the ocean, but at the same time it

could never have separate existence from the ocean since every

moment it will be dependent on the waves of the Ocean.

Kindly, be mindful that we have given the above simile in

the context of the Soul only, but the Self and Attributes of

Allah are beyond any description or explanation and it is

impossible to explain any attribute of Allah with any human

word. The Attributes of Allah are unlimited, and each attributeof Allah is also unlimited in its own right. The people were

given limited knowledge of the attributes. Though attributes of

Allah are based in the Self of Allah, but they are not the Self

of Allah; the Self encircles the attributes. The knowledge given

from presence of Allah is sufficient enough to let man have

highest cognition of the Creator. If the features of this divine

knowledge came before our eyes, they would be in the form of alight - a Noor or light which encircles motion and activities from

infinity to eternity.

They are asking you concerning the Soul. Say: The Soul is

by command of my Lord, and of knowledge you have been

given but little Quran 17:85

There are verses in the Quran which discuss the start of

conscious before our birth in this world. They reveal to the

believers who have faith in the truth that we humans did not


60/78

60

only exist before our birth on earth, but we also knew and

recognized our Sustainer. Furthermore, in that world of souls we

made a covenant with Him that we shall obey Him alone.

When your Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam -from their loins their descendants, and made them testify

concerning them, (saying): "Am I not your cherisher and

sustainer?"- They said: "Yes! We do testify!"(This was done),

lest you should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this (reality)we were unaware": Or lest ye should say: (It is) only (that) our

fathers ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their) seed

after them (so we followed them unaware). Will You (Allah)destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood

did? Thus we detail the revelations, that per chance they may

return (to the truth). - Quran 7:172-174

"Did I not take a covenant from you, O you Children ofAdam, that you should not worship Satan; for that he is your

open enemy? But that you worship Me? That is the right path

Quran 36:60-61


61/78

61

This covenant reveals a spiritual life before birth. The

Prophets and friends of Allah came on this earth for the purpose

of reminding human beings of their covenant to Allah and also

to renew or restore their cognizance of Allah ( ). Asupreme level of cognizance of Allah provides abilities of

creation and administration without material means.


62/78

What are the Attributes of the Blessed Ones?

A delicate reference in the Quran given below tells us that

when Allah, the Almighty, bestows knowledge of the Book

upon his friends, they do not receive just passive knowledge.

Instead, they hear recording of The Book in the form of audio

( ) and also see it in a far better form than any three

dimensional video which they call Kashf-o-Shuhud ( ).In fact, in Kashf-o-Shuhud they see themselves to be the very

recording and see themselves in every particle of the whole

universe. We cannot describe this spiritual incident in human

words any further. However, Allah has made a reference to it as

sighting the knowledge of the unseen in this ayah:

Has he knowledge of the Unseen so that he can see? Quran

53:34

We should not be confused about status of the friends of

Allah. Definitely, only messenger prophets ( ) were thechosen ones of Allah through whom, Allah established or

sometimes amended His codes of life (Shariah) in the world.

However, there is another class of people called Auliya Allah in

the Quran whose attributes Allah describes in following words:


63/78

63

By men whom neither merchandise nor sale can divert from the

Remembrance of Allah, nor from regular Prayer, nor from the

practice of regular Charity: Their (only) fear is a day when

hearts and eyeballs will be overturned Quran 24:37

Such pious friends of Allah who adopted extreme piety

(Sufistic life) and abstinence ( ) were people like BabaTajuddin Nagpuri in India, Baba Farid Ganaj Shakar in Pakistan

in whose name is Baba Farid University of Health Sciences,

Hazret Abdul Qadir Gilani (1077-1166 A.D) in Iraq, Hazret

Moinuddin Chishti (1141-1230 A.D), Hazret Bha-ud-din

Zakariya (1170-1267 A.D) in whose name is the largest

university in south Punjab, Hazret Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (1177-

1274), Hazret Nizamuddin Auliya (1238-1325), Hazret Sheikh

Mastufa of Iraq in Serbia, Hazret Abul Hassan Ali Hujvery

(Daata Ganaj baksh from 990-1077), Hazret Hajji Hud (1025-

1141 A.D), my teachers Hazret Qalandar Baba Auliya of Buland

Shehar, India and Hazret Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi inKarachi, and also many other Sufi Saints of Iraq, Syria, Iran,

India and Pakistan etc., who established religion of truth in the

world. These and many other friends of Allah were inspired by

Allah and given guidance to implement the Shariah brought by

Mohammad (blessings of Allah upon him), the last prophet of

Allah.

In order to understand these people and their quality of life,

their Salat, service of sacrifice, life and death, we must have a

mindset at least somewhat similar to theirs; otherwise, we

cannot be in a position to understand them or their attributes.


64/78

64

Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my lifeand my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds -

Quran 6:162

Friends of Allah do not say anything new nor amend the

existing Shariah or divine law; they just make the life easy for

themselves and other people with the help of ideas originating

from Allah and His Book( ).

True believers have a belief that satanic inspirations come

to humans on minute to minute basis and they even recite a

verse of Quran to be guarded from such inspirations.

However, the deceived people and scholars who have only

bookish knowledge and who have not been blessed with

knowledge by Allah have a problem - a serious problem indeed;

they cannot accept this fact that Allah, forever Omni-potent and

all-knowing can inspire people with thoughts and ideas that can

make a difference in the lives of people ideas and inspirations

which are in perfect harmony with existing shariah or divine

law. This attitude of people is in our understanding a gross

violation of true faith (deen-ul-Haq). Allah tells us that since

they reject spiritual content of the true faith ( ), so theythrow arrows of doubts on the unseen from a far off distance.


65/78

65

What are the Benefits of knowledge of the Book?

Due to the knowledge of the Book given by Allah, the angelof death knows in advance someones name, address and time of

death before he reaches to take their soul. But a man who has no

conscious knowledge of his death remains busy in his usual

activities of life; smiling, laughing, playing, sinning and

knowledge of the unseen_final version jan 15, 2013
