Part 6: What weapon is the Satan afraid of? Source: Pir Nasir-i Khusraw and Spirituality, pp. At such times which are extremely dangerous, mu'mins should also seek refuge in the guidance of the light of Imamat from its danger and evil." That is, when the Prophet or the true Imam successfully guides mu'mins in the illumination of the light of guidance, then their enemies envy them and use every kind of deceit and trick. " "Wa min-sharri haasidin 'izaa hasad (And from the evil of the envier when he envies". This from the evil of these religious bewitchers also, refuge must sough in the light of Imamat." Just as in witchcraft women blow on knots and bewitch people, the ulama (learned) opponents of the Lord of command, who as women in religion, muddle the simple teachings of religion and make complicated issues out of them, and by doing so they intend that the people be compelled to believe that it is only they who know the solution of such knotty issues and thus they lead people astray from the recognition of the true Imam. The tawil of this is that Lord of command (sahib-i amr), with respect to religion and imparting knowledge, is in the rank of man and the rest are in the rank of woman (See Wajh-i Din, chapter 46). " " Wa min sharri'n-naffathatti fil-uqad (and from the evil of those (women) who blow on knots)". Thus, according to the law of seeking refuge, it is necessary and essential to escape the ignorant and the ignorance and seek God's refuge. For the more the good is in knowledge and wisdom, the more evil is in ignorance. Such a person is more dangerous than the dark night. By this is meant a person who spreads darkness of ignorance. Ghasiq is an active principle which means that which spreads darkness. " "Wa min sharri ghasiqin idah waqab (and from the evil of the dark night when it overspreads". From the preceding, it is evident that it is the falaq, namely spirituality and the dawn (light) of pre-eternity, which erases the darkness of all evils and puts an end to them." That is to say, what is mentioned in detail in the Suratul-Falaq and Suratu'n-Naas is summarized in the above-mentioned two verses. In this verse, to take refuge from all evils, is mentioned tersely. " "Min sahhri ma khalaq (from the evil which is created)". At this stage he observes the secrets of pre-eternity and post-eternity together." For the true protection of God is attained by a fortunate servant at the stage where he comes annihilated in God (fana fi'llah). Although there are many dawns, the most worthy mentioning and extremely marvellous, is the one which dawn with the rise of the pre-eternal light (nur-i azal). That is, I seek refuge in the presence of the Lord of the pre-eternal dawn (subh-i azal). Then come the words "Bi-Rabbi'l-falaq (with the Lord of dawn)". And the most successful form of refuge for all of these is possible in the light of knowledge and ma'rifat (recognition of the Light of God) for without faith and certainty, intellect and wisdom, it is not possible to reach the refuge of God by escaping every kind of evil and to protect oneself there. Then there is the word "a'udhu (I seek refuge)", in which is sought for three things: first, the intention second, the speech and third, the action. Further, the execution of this command also continues through the two important things (i.e., the Holy Qur'an and the speaking, present and living Imam of the Age), which the Prophet has left for the sake of guidance. That whatever the Holy Prophet presented to the people during his pure life, by words and deeds, is under the Divine command "qul". This is a special command of God, because in it He addresses the Holy Prophet: O Prophet! tell the people personally and also through other means. "In the Suratu'l Falaq, first comes the word "qul" (say!), which is mentioned 332 times in the Glorious Qur'an. (113:5)Īnd from the evil of the envier when he envieth. Wa min-sharrin Naffaasaati fil 'uqad, (113:4)Īnd from the evil of malignant witchcraft, (113:4) Wa min-sharri gaasiqin 'izaa waqab, (113:3)įrom the evil of the darkness when it is intense, (113:3) Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak (113:1)įrom the evil of that which He created (113:2) In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful Surah Falaq (The Daybreak): Holy Quran 113:1-5
