In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

By the fig, and the olive! Both beautify the human body; purify blood, regulate digestion, strengthen the vital organs and render the face radiant. And by the Mount Tur and the secure city of Makkah! Both being the centres of Divine Refulgence, dispensate intrinsic beauty. In other words; these four providing extrinsic and intrinsic beauty, are witness to the fact that Allaah-SWT created mankind as the comeliest of all creations, by way of disposition and outlook, limbs and joints, intellect and wisdom, thought and understanding. And intrinsically, inspite of being a handful of dust, human being claims passion for Allaah-SWT.What a beautiful combination; matter housing the celestial Ruh, whereby physical excellences and spiritual magnificence are put together. He-SWT blessed mankind with lamp like hearts which once illuminated with the light of Prophethood, turn them into seekers of the Supreme Being-SWT .

 

Given the right to choose in the temporal existence, man made such blunders that he qualified to be rated even below the animals and beasts, for the higher the altitude one plummets from the more severely he is likely to be hurt. So once he falls down from the sublime pedestal of humanity, he proves to be worse than beasts, who display brutality only to satiate their hunger, while man ravages his fellow beings to satisfy his ego, to enforce his superiority. However, those who retained their originality and progressed were the believers who placed an unrelenting trust in Allaah-SWT and His-SWT Messenger-SW whereby their conduct was reformed. Mark that a virtuous deed is only the one governed by Shari'ah and is done in conformity with the Holy Prophet-SW. For them are endless rewards and they will be greeted by success in this world at every step.

 

Continuous Progress


They will experience continuous increase in their spiritual states enduring to the Akhirah and their rewards are boundless. Remember that if a seeker stops at a certain station due to non availability of an accomplished Shaikh or does not live long enough, the intensity of the spiritual states and exhilaration within that station will continue to increase. Truly fortunate are those who enjoy progress in stations as well as levels.

 

So O' man! Having closely witnessed the entire system of life, wherein is an outcome to every action, will you still deny Qayamah and the requital? Do you still harbour doubts about the fact that to Allaah-SWT belongs the real Sovereignty, over all the rulers and all the Governments?
