Divine Knowledge From Created Things (معلومات الٰہی سے مخلوقات تک)

Divine knowledge — knowledge from the effect side, the affecting attributes, the affected attributes — what is its change? A tayghir (change) happens with each — ('ayn thabita — or 'ma'lum al-ilahi' — knowledge of each). By general knowledge, in the knowledge there is no specialty at all — but general knowledge with this in mind is: 'from Allah general things come — from Allah general things will come — general then special — special then from that a special thing will come — until that in every being one specific thing will come.' — The first atom (from the beginning, Allah first — the basis of Sufis' terminology) — each created thing that appeared first — 'tabaqa (level) — after that aggregate — in each aggregate a 'haba' (the tiniest particle in a sunbeam) appeared — the seven attributes together with those 'haba' — they exist — but the force is not so much that will be together — the force for aggregation — a new soul is formed after the arrangement — he is the 'mudir (director)' of that thing and he manages it — 'what happened?' — then after aggregation, from the stars and from the sunlight special features of asmaa' al-ilahiyya (divine names) come with the arrangement — 'in it a 'now' appeared — it could not blossom before — in it this capability will come that it will give blossoms — and that blossoming the length, breadth — in this it grows — the means of 'quwwat al-namiyya (the growing power)' — the means of the first soul (which is to be made great by a strong soul) — 'the pebbles' soul and the government holding soul' — and further — they will grow and the lives will come to them (animals) — every atom is a life — but the 'haywan (animal)' is separate in it — (its manager and ruler is) — then after that it progressed further — the first animal was only eating, walking — then it progressed more — the force grew further — therefore the body (vehicle) should be strong — why should it be strong? — 'The Lord's near ones will come — who will that force come for? — Is that force for an animal? — For a human being — the human's reality is — in its power and in the animal's power there is much difference.

Creation, Death, Reward, and Punishment (پیدائش، موت، ثواب و عذاب)

Allah Miyan says — you understand something: what were you? — A word — you were originally — you could not understand — you could not move — 'death came? — what happened after it? — death came — so what happened? — it separated from the horse — the horse went off separately — and the subtle governing soul is with it — the light of the ruling soul is on it — Mery pas Allah ke siva koi kuch nahin — there is no thing near me except Allah — the world of 'alam al-shahada (the world of witness) — there is nothing of any deity — 'from the same place — the same principle' — every location is the same — where will I go — the spots of the asmaa' and attributes of Allah are the same, from that place you will get spots — one location: 'the same attributes are' — and the same management of attributes remains after death — so that world is of a more subtle thing — and there is no entity there of the material world — who is there? — there is no one — 'My near you near Allah there is nothing' — meaning — so what to think about: 'atoms (Atom)' — manage — 'believe in the Qur'an — without your guidance no guidance of anyone else can be made' — people think this wrongly — that is the end — 'after death this horse does not come again' — they do not know this — they think this — so we think that after death there is also punishment — 'how will punishment happen after death?' A question.

We Will Not Be Deceived by Shaitan (شیطان سے دھوکہ نہیں کھائیں گے)

My children — we will not be deceived by shaitan, insha'Allah — (addressing the persons present, he pointed and said) — shaitan will also come and speak — 'O rascal! You are also a sign of my Miyan.' This is the final discourse note in the book — Hazrat's confident declaration of divine protection against the deceptions of shaitan. The believer who holds firmly to the rope of the Shaykh, the Sunnah, and the Qur'an will not be led astray.
