The Number of Souls Created in the Heaven Exceeded the Limit

The Number of Souls Created in the Heaven Exceeded the Limit

The souls of the Elite (Muqarrib) were in the foremost row. Ordinary souls were sent into the nations of Adams that were created in this world. These Adams were created with black, white, yellow and red clay. Gabriel, Harut and Marut taught them knowledge.

As the Adams were created with clay in this world, the infernal Jinns would manage to enter them and their progeny’s bodies and would attempt to gain control over them. Then the Prophets and the Saints in those nations, and the knowledge they taught, were the means for their salvation. A majority of Adams were created in the form of pairs that initiated a chain of progeny. However, occasionally only a woman was created as Adam and the progeny was initiated with the help of the Command, ‘Be’. These nations still live in this world. In such tribes, only women are the leaders. Just because they are progeny of a woman, they perceive God also is a woman. They consider themselves to be the progeny of the angels. Since their female Adam’s progeny was born without marriage and male copulation, this custom is still part of their culture. The women of these tribes bear children by anyone and later marry some other man. They do not regard this custom as indecent.

In accordance with the nature of the souls, the choice they made in the primordial times, their destiny and their spiritual status, a similar natured Adam was sent to guide such souls. Therefore, no proper religion was formulated for them. Any Prophets sent into them were accepted but by a few people only. Rather, most of them acted the opposite to the teachings of the Prophets. Instead of God, they worshipped the Moon, the stars, the Sun, trees, fire and even the snakes.

Eventually, Adam Safi Allah was created in paradise with the clay thereof, so as to elevate him in eminence and superiority above all. And so that he may be protected against the infernal creatures, because paradise was inaccessible to the infernal creatures. Azazeel read the situation due to his intelligence. He was appointed the leader of the angels owing to his excessive worship. He was from the nation of the Jinns. Out of jealousy, he spat on Adam’s body, and by means of the saliva, a germ similar to an infernal creature penetrated the body of Adam, which is known as Nafs. The progeny of Adam thus, inherit the Nafs. That is what this Prophetic Tradition, ‘A Satanic Jinn is born with every human being,’ alludes to.

The angels are different from the archangels. The angels dwell in Malakut, and the angels and the souls were created simultaneously. Above Malakut is Jabrut and the creatures thereof are known as archangels, which existed well before the souls were created with the Command, ‘Be’.

God commanded the angels to prostrate before Adam Safi Allah. No other Adam was created in the paradise previously; neither had the angels prostrated before any other Adam. Azazeel was reluctant and denied to prostrate before Adam Safi Allah, hence, he was cursed. This is why he initiated enmity against Adam Safi Allah’s progeny. Nations of the previous Adams were safe from the enmity of Azazeel and the infernal Jinns sufficed to incite them. Since the Satan was more powerful than all the infernal Jinns, he controlled and taught the progeny of Adam Safi Allah such disgusting crimes that the other nations reproached the Asians. And eminence of Adam Safi Allah was the reason why those among his progeny whom God guided became sublime and eminent, that the other nations were stunned by their grandeur and envied them. The greatest celestial books, the Old Testament, the Psalms of David, the New Testament and the Koran were revealed upon the Messengers from among the progeny of Adam Safi Allah. Through their teachings, benevolence and blessings, the Asian religion spread among all nations of the world.

The soul was not yet inserted in the body of Adam Safi Allah, and the angels realised that he too was being created to be sent into the world. They knew for sure that the man made with clay dwells on Earth only. And then God sent Adam into the world on some divine pretext. God himself plots the eternal acts and the humans are held blameworthy for them. Had Adam Safi Allah been sent without being tricked into blame, he would have always complained and grumbled in the world. He would not repent or cry in modesty, would he?

1. If the predestined hell-bound souls are born in a non-religious household, they turn into Kafir (rejector of truth) and Kadhib (those who label the truth as a lie). These individuals are the atheists, the enemies of the Prophets and the Saints. They are arrogant and stone hearted men, and they find pleasure in harming the creatures of God. The second category of the souls remain naive of the religions even if they adopt a religion. They turn into hypocrites, in the case that they are born in a religious household.
2. Such individuals are blasphemous to the Prophets, jealous of the Saints, and cause mischief in the religions. Their worship also is wasted like that of Iblis. The religion draws them towards the paradise, but their fate pulls them towards the hellfire. Since they remain deprived of the support and assistance of the Prophets and the Saints, therefore, they are easily incited by their Nafs and trapped in evil plots, afflicted by the Satan. They perceive that they possess sufficient knowledge and perform excessive worship; hence, they see no difference between the Prophets and themselves. Then they begin to consider themselves as a Prophet without peeping into their inner self. And they perceive that even the Saints stand in need of them. They do not admit knowledge of spirituality, and miracles, nevertheless, they only accept the acts which they are able to perform. They reject even the miracles of the Prophets, and label them as magic. They admit the powers of Iblis (the Devil), but they are reluctant to admit the divine might, which God invests in the Prophets and the Saints.
3. When a predestined heaven-bound soul takes birth in a non- religious household or in an impure environment, it is known as Mazour (Helpless). Mazour may qualify for the bakhshish (concession) and divine pardon. These are the souls that seek the favour of the Saints in their pursuit of Sirat al Mustaqeem and to exit from the quicksand of sins. They are kind, humble and generous.
4. If the predestined heaven-bound soul takes birth in a religious household that practises a celestial religion, is known as Sadiq (natural believer) and Momin (enlightened believer). These are the ones that through extensive Ibadah (worship) and Riyadhah (extensive worship and struggle) obtain God’s nearness and become worthy of the divine inheritance.

Prophetic Tradition: ‘Faqr (spiritual poverty) is my pride, and it is from me.’

The heart has the central and very important role in spirituality.

The disciples raised the heartbeats in many ways such as striking beats on the respective subtlety, dancing, Kabaddi (a type of sport), building walls, demolishing them and through physical exercises. Then it became easier to synchronise the word ‘Allah’ within the heartbeats and gradually the word ‘Allah’, itself, reached all the subtleties of the breast. Some people, without profound knowledge and awareness, started to imitate them, but they failed. They adopted the method of repeating the word ‘Allah’ while dancing. Neither did they know of synchronisation of the heartbeats with God’s name nor did they manage to achieve it. Nevertheless, their bio- spirit, which represents physical activity, became familiar with God’s name. Repetition of the word ‘Allah’ with music strengthens the botanical spirit and it also becomes familiar with the word ‘Allah’. Music is the sustenance for the botanical spirit. In the USA, an experiment was conducted on some crops through music. Similar crops were sowed in similar soil. Music was played constantly, 24/7 on one crop, and the other was kept without music. The one with the music was better in growth than the other.

The Nafs is a rigid tormentor. Even after the purification, the Nafs is fond of making pretexts. It likes sound and music. Some individuals tried to change its direction towards God through music. Some people repeated the word ‘Allah’ while playing the guitar, and reached the worship by ears, though they could not obtain anything further. A guitarist relayed to me a story that he, as a hobby in his leisure time, used to invoke upon Allah while playing the guitar. Occasionally, as he woke up, he heard the invocation of Allah from within himself in the same manner. These people are better than singers, musicians and listeners; nevertheless, they could not reach any rank of Sainthood. Such people are enthusiastic, zealous and in search for God. Through a Perfect Spiritual Guide, they may reach their spiritual destiny. Sufis in Islam and other religions also adopted the way of absorbing God’s name through various means and methods. Anything that directs one towards God, and increases in His love is not disallowed.

Tradition of the Prophet: ‘God looks at the intentions, not the actions.’

People of Sharia (religious law) label it as blameworthy and wrong because they are content and satisfied with Sharia. But those who want to go beyond Sharia and want to obtain God’s love, or those who don’t practise Sharia, should not be halted from seeking a substitute.
