Divine Philosophy Behind Sending Prophets and Saints
|
|
When Allah Almighty (God) created the world, He send the
messengers and saints from time to time reform the humanity so
as to keep it from evil practices and make it adopt the path of
righteousness. These messengers (Prophets) sent by the Allah
(God), as the legend goes, number 1,24,000. The four revealed
books namely Holy Zaboor, Holy Torah, Holy Bible and Holy Quran
speak on the subject with vivid clarity. Of this large number of
Prophets, the above-mentioned four books were revealed on the
four noted Prophets namely; Holy David, Moses, Jesus Christ and
Hazrat Mohammed (s.a.w.s.), respectively. Since according to the
precepts of the Holy Prophet Mohammed Mustafa (s.a.w.s.) He is
the final prophet, the chapter of prophethood stood closed some
1400 years ago following His birth and shall remain closed till
the Doom's Day. According to a true Muslim's belief, acceptance
by heart of the three prophets of Allah (God) namely; Holy Holy
David, Moses and Jesus Christ from part his religious belief,
among others, and his faith is never complete, if he does not
sincerely believe in them and in the revealed holy books such a
person cannot as such be treated and recognized as a true
Muslim. Next come the Mystics and Saints, a reference to whom
is also made in the Holy Quran. The spiritual status of these
saints, undoubtedly is below the prophets, yet they are
recognized as true successors to them. The spiritual heights and
mystical achievements of these saints are great, glittering and
many, and they have attracted the suffering masses to their fold
through their supernatural acts (miracles) Sufi (mystic) deeds.
The suffering humanity not only in their life time, but even
after passage of hundreds of years after taking veil from this
materialistic world, continues to be blessed even to this day
and looks up to them as relievers of their worldly needs
spiritual problems such as incurable diseases, misfortunes,
untold miseries and natural calamities. Hazrat Syed Baba
Tajuddin Aulia (the Crown of Saints) as the title was bestowed
upon him by Hazrat Ali Murtaza Muskil-Kusha (Karam Allah Talah
Anha), the fourth Caliph of Islam. Babajan (Tajuddin Aulia) was
one of the such greatest Sufi Aulia (Mystic Saint) witnessed by
the 19th century. In succeeding pages, His (Taj Baba's) birth,
His pious life, His family background (Lineage), Sufi Master's (Tajudin's)
spiritual or mystical (Sufi) achievements, His benevolence on
mankind, His renunciation and detachment with the material gains
and worldly pleasures have been dealt with for information and
guidance of the readers. It is to be hoped that the readers
would get solace, spiritual (sufi) guidance, harmony and eternal
happoness after going through these pages and would find the
website as a guideline and divine light for drifting towards a
spiritually (Sufi) refined life and mysteries of mysticism
(Sufism). |
