Dear Mr. Popat,
First of all, its quite a simple concept really.** If you have noor of Allah in your Qalb, on your own you will begin to love Allah*. Ive talked to a lot of Muslims, and it seems that many think that being a **Momin and a Muslim is the same thing.* Thats not necessarily true, because Momin is one who has Noor in their Qalb. How do we bring Noor into our Qalb? And then, how do we know we've been accepted by Allah as a Momin? I've asked many people this, but I have never gotten an answer that satisfied me, until I met Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi.
Dear Miss Omara,
It is not as simple as it sounds unfortunately. Lets look at this way. If a boy keeps saying to a girl that he loves her, will she believe him? or will she believe when the boy does everything according to her likings? You're right when you say Momin is not the same as Muslim. But only Muslims become Momins, thats also true, no? Qalb when used is a figure of speech. One cannot actually have a 'dark' Qalb ( heart ) but in a metaphorical way. Noor of Allah is provided to those whomsoever He wishes. Today, no other way of reaching to the true Allah , the designer of the universe but through the way of our Holiest Prophet Muhammad (SAAW). Whether or not we are accepted as Momins by Allah is something Allah alone knows. He gives His pious people the glad tiding by many ways , out of which Kashf, true dreams and acceptance of ones prayers are examples. What special did Gohar shahi taught you that you cannot achieve from reading Qur'an or by following the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad PBUH? Love of Allah? this is not a new phenomenon Gohar shahi brought.. it has been there for ages.. one must have pious heart and the determination to achieve love of Allah. Unlike Christianity, Islam does not have a middle person who show us the path of Allah. Everything is there for us , Quran, Sunnah, Ahadith.
Anyway, I digress. The simple answer is, in SOME WAY, bring Noor of Allah into your heart to truly love Allah. This is what I understand according to the teachings of Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi.
Theres no other way of getting the blessings of Allah than to be a follower of the pure Islam that Prophet Muhammad PBUH brought.
Allah also said to the Prophet Mohammad PBUH, O Mohammad, turn your face towards Deen-e-Hanif, for it is to be established soon. Many people assumed this meant Islam, however when Allah said this AFTER Islam had already been established, after La Illaha Illa Allah Mohammad Rasool Allah had been shown. Deen-e-Hanif means Deen-e-Illahi. According to my understanding, Deen-e-Illahi is simply Ishq-e-Illahi which has now been established by Imam Mehdi. So now it does not matter which religion you were born into as long as you are in Deen-e-Hanif!
Whatever love of Allah one get ever get is with the true teachings of Islam. Are you saying that Islam dont teach love of Allah ?
Okay please bear with me while i try to explain. Every religion has an expiry date, so to speak. All 5 messengers brought down different talim and religions. Only WHEN the religion of the previous messenger had expired, then a new messenger was sent down to give guidance. So how do religions expire? The simple answer is, when noor leaves! Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi explains, Ilm ka taluq demaakh se hai. Before reaching the tongue, Ilm must go through the Qalb. If the Qalb is paak and enlightened, then what comes from the tongue will be Noor ala noor, and words of wisdom. However, if the Qalb is darkened, then what comes on the tongue will spread fitna and fassad in the Religion.
Every religion had a time frame for which they were good. However, with Islam, this is not the case. It is the final religion of Allah and whoever try bringing new shariyah is for sure a liar and a deceiver.
Qalb dont get darkened. This is a figure of speech. It merely means one is not following what s/he is suppose to. Qalb being darkened should by no means be taken literally.
There is a hadith: some people read the Quran but the Quran sends lanat on them.
And the Prophet also said, fear the jahil aalim (One whos heart is dark but who, by tongue is an aalim).
I wonder where you stand according to Quran and ahadith? Where in Quran does it say that every religion in the world can find the blessings of Allah ? Either you provide me with that, or know that you are not following Islam.
Do you see where im going with this? When these jahil aalim read the Quran and gave lengthy speeches according to their nafs, they spread fitna in the religion and THIS is why today there are more than 73 sects in Islam.
Sure. Who is jahil and who is not is judged by Allah and no one else.
Anyway, the point is, whether we want to admit it or not, all the religions have expired today, meaning none can, on its own, give hidayat anymore. For example, in christianity the Bible has been adulterated so many times! So it doesnt matter which religion we belong to, because on the batini spiritual level, we are basically at the same place, without noor of Allah in our Qalbs. Instead of trying to love Allah, most of us are focused at pointing our fingers at other sects and religions, however we forget that NONE of us have ever not sinned.
Miss Omara, you are indirectly attacking Islam, which itself is a sin. Islam is the way of life. It is something all thirsty seekers of truth are running for. Quran is a miracle of Allah. When one reads Quran, it seems as if Allah is talking himself. Islam is filled with hidaayat, only people like you know not. I can guarantee you that you will not be able to have love of Allah if you dont follow what Islam's teachings are.
Now, in regards to Hinduism; Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi says, AZLI MOUHIB Momin ARWAH are born into all kinds of environments, and when they hear the message of Imam Mehdi, they will come running, because Imam Mehdi reminds them, YOU TOO once loved Allah, COME, let me teach your soul and your heart to love your Lord again!
Is it absolutely necessary to follow Gohar shahi to have love of Allah? Why would a hindu run to Imam Mehdi ? and how will He teach their souls love of Lord? Making no sense whatsoever. Whose teachings will Gohar shahi use to teach them love of Allah? What will he do ?
Forget about Hindus for a second. How many of us put our own desires of our nafs first? The average person lives on the whim of their nafs, because the average person is in the state, Nafs-e-Ammara, in which no noor can stay. (I dont know if you are familiar with this knowledge, but Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi teaches us the nature of the nafs so we can learn to recognize if what we are doing is according to our nafs.)
If we follow everything our nafs tells us to do, then are we not accepting our NAFS as our lord? We sleep when our nafs tells us to, we eat when our nafs tells us to, we backbite when our nafs makes us, we become angry when our nafs forces us to! The sad thing is, the average person is BLIND and does not understand that in all practicality they are committing the biggest shirk- accepting their nafs (Self) to be their Lord! I hope that makes sense to you as much as it does to me.
I seriously am speechless. Are you saying whatever you're saying from the teachings of Islam or what ? No, we are not accepting our nafs as our lord. Teaching of Islam dont let us. We sleep, eat, wake up according to how Allah has created us. These are the requirements of a human being. No one is spared from it, not even saints or Prophets. Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to sleep , eat, walk, etc , yet He is the greatest of the prophets. He (SAW) is a prime example for the whole of human kind. He did no shirk by sleeping, eating etc.
I, personally have already obtained Zikr-e-Qalb from Imam Mehdi, and I look to the teachings of Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi to show me what is a sin and what is not. People who are sharabi, but they had taken Zikr-e-Qalb, they too began to, on their own, hate drinking alcohal. How? Because when you have noor in your qalb, you feel wehshat when you do something wrong or you are around something sinful.
I hope that helps! :)
Prophet Muhammad used to pray very long salaats and He (SAW) used to wait for the next salat time. When a sahaba asked him why He struggles so much , when He is already given the good news of Jannat. He (SAW) replied to him that do you not want me to thank Allah for his blessings ?
How has Gohar shahi helped u obtain zikr e qalb ?? what is the standard to which one knows what is a sinful act and what is not? can a sharaabi still be a sharaabi while having love of Allah ?
PS: If possible, i would like to have a one-on-one conversation with you , either on MSN or by any other means. Please reply my PM. Thank you.
