THE PERFECT MAN IS THE TRUE IMAGE & REAL MIRROR OF GOD

Faqir Noor Muhammed Sarwari Qadri, a prominent Sufi Shaykh of Qadri Tariqa narrates, THE PERFECT MAN IS THE TRUE IMAGE & REAL MIRROR OF GOD.  Here we have published this of his full thought below:

Irfan: Faqir Noor Muhammad Sarwari Qadri Qads Sirh ul Aziz

The perfect man becomes such a superb manifestation and perfect mirror of God the Most High that, in measure with his capacity, he reflects in himself the lights of the essence, attributes, and names of God the Most High. When the adept gnostic attains perfect purification of the soul, cleanliness of the heart, brightness of the spirit, and seclusion of the secret, he becomes a clear, transparent, and perfect mirror of God the Most High.

He is qualified with all the qualities of God the Most High and imbued with all His virtues. He becomes the true emblem of “He taught Adam the names of all things,” that is, the true progeny of Adam, and deserves to be called man in the true sense of the word. Else, there are many people of the kind: “They are like beasts,” as they are outwardly men and inwardly beasts. God the Most High with all His names and attributes is manifest in Adam (A.S) and his true progeny, and this is the true significance of “He taught Adam the names of all things,” that is, God the Most High taught all His names to Adam (A.S).

The inability of the angels to know all these names signifies that the angels are the manifestations of His special names. They have been qualified by some special attributive names of which they are the operators. For example, Izrail (A.S), who is appointed to take the souls, has the capacity for a few terrible names of God (اسماءجلالی) the Most High, for example, powerful, avenger, taker, killer, and so on. He is the operator of these very names, qualified with their qualities, and works them. He has absolutely no capability for other names, especially the lovable names (اسماءجمالی). Similarly, Gabriel (A.S) has been made the manifestation and worker of the lovable names. The other angels should also be conceived in the same way. But according to the size of his pot and his esoteric capability, the perfect man derives in himself both the terrible and lovable perfect names and attributes. This is the true significance of “He taught Adam the names of all things.” It does not at all mean that God the Most High had taught Adam (A.S) some lexicon containing the names of all the objects in the world, which He had concealed from the angels; that He examined them by naming some of the objects; and that, thus, the inability of the angels and the superiority of Adam A.S) came into view. This is far from the just, magnificent, and holy essence of God the Most High.

The tradition says:
خلق اللہ آدم علی صورته
“He created Adam like His own form” lends support to the contention that the capability to be qualified with all the attributes of God the Most High and to imbibe His virtues exists in Adam. Else, God the Most High has no figure, form, or semblance. In short, a perfect man is the perfect mirror and complete manifestation of God the Most High. And in accordance with“Commemorate Me,” “I will commemorate thee.” With whichever name a man remembers God the Most High by, He shines to that man with the same name reciprocally. For example, if a man remembers God the Most High with the name Merciful, God the Most High illuminates through the name merciful and the light of that name permeates inside the commemorator. And the attribute of the mercifulness of God the Most High prevails over the whole world; it is through this mercy that compassion and affection exist among the jinn, mankind, animals, beasts, quadrupeds, and birds of the entire world. In accordance with his capacity, the commemorator takes his full share of the action and power of this general universal attribute of mercifulness of the name merciful God the Most High, and he is qualified with God the Most High’s attribute of mercifulness and becomes the operator of the actions of the name merciful in the visible and invisible worlds.

This is called:
تخلقو باخلاق الله تعالی
“Verify yourself with the virtues of God the Most High.”

Similarly, when a commemorator remembers God the Most High with the name “Hearer” or “Seer,” he partakes of God the Most High’s attribute of hearer or seer in proportion to the extent of his capacity, and in addition to the external senses of hearing and seeing, the commemorator acquires esoteric hearing and seeing through the bounty and gift of God the Most High. He hears unheard of things through inspiration and sees unseen esoteric places and invisible spiritual incidents.

All the attributes should be conjectured in the same way. And when a person remembers Allah with His personal name, God the Most High gives illuminations to that person with His Essence, comprising all the attributes and names, and the commemorator observes the personal illuminations of God the Most High in himself and is favored and distinguished by the personal display and observation of God the Most High. The person of the commemorator is illuminated with the personal lights. This does, not mean that (God forbid) God the Most High transmigrates into the slave (commemorator). But as the light and the heat of the sun is reflected in a mirror, water, or other transparent things, although the sun remains where it is, or as the fire affects the iron, which acquires the quality of the fire by turning red-hot, similarly the slave derives the lights of the Essence, attributes, names, and acts of God
the Most High.

The seeing, hearing, and speaking of the man then is the seeing, hearing, and speaking of God the Most High and so on and so forth. In short, God the Most High shines toward a slave with the same name with which the slave remembers Him. The symptom of it is that the very name of God the Most High gets impressed with
bright letters of nature inside the commemorator, and at the time of absorption, that commemorator sees it shining on the invisible sky like a brilliant star.

Esoterically, the lights of the names appear in the form of stars, that of the attributes like the full moon, and that of the Essence appears in the form of the sun. So that when any name of God the Most High gets written in brilliant words inside the commemorator, the commemorator gets filled up with the light and electric power of that name and exercises his influence, in both the worlds, through the light and power of that name. It can then be said that so and so is the operator of such and such a name or prayer. For example, when His Holiness Jesus (salutations be on him) wanted to cure some leper or lunatic possessed by an evil spirit, he used to commemorate in his heart or concentrate on God the Most High’s name Quddus (قدوس) (Holy), and he supplicated and attended God the Most High’s attribute of holiness. At that moment, in accordance with the promise “Remember Me and I’ll remember thee,” God the
Most High cast the light of His name holy and the light of attribute holy on Jesus (salutations be on him), and the bright form descended from heaven in the form of a dove sometimes. At moments, he used to be filled up with the light of the name Holy, the holy ghost. Since an evil spirit enters the leper and lunatic, which distorts their exoteric and esoteric nature, the name Quddus (holy) is the opposite all esoteric and exoteric evils—as the one is light and the other is darkness, and the one is truth and the other false.

Therefore, when full of the light of the Holy Ghost, His Holiness Jesus (salutations be on him) touched a leper or lunatic, and the evil spirit would fly from the leper or lunatic because of his power of the light of holiness. The darkness always flies from the light of truth.

Says Allah:
وَ قُلْ جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَ زَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُؕ-اِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوْقًا
(بنی اسرائیل ۸۱)
“The truth has come and the falsehood has vanished; verily falsehood is vanishable.”
