Levels of Wajud Part-1

Until we are not familiar with WAJUD we will remain unknown with WAJIB ul WAJOOD and ourselves "mun arafa` nafsahu faqad arafa` rabhu" one who knew himself he knew his Lord!

Therefore in humble opinion knowledge of WAJUD must be at first in Usool e Deen and as necessary as to be a Muslim to be successful (Ref. Daroos e Marfat e Nafs by Ayatullah Jowodi Aomali)


"....He who is hidden in his appearance.. . {Tu Apnay Zahoor main Posheeda Ha}" Imam Ali a.s

Wajood or Existence can be understood as much as you ponder on this Ayah Kareemah` {and as per Imam Khomeini if Quran has only this Ayah then it was sufficient for one who is worth enough - Ehaal } This Ayah describe WAJUD in detail.

"الله نور السماوات والارض Allahu Nur Samawat wal Arz"

There is some useful information for about EXISTENCE
Transcendence (Tajarud) is an achievement. Man is here to achieve his destiny. What religion does it actually makes this way easy to you. Otherwise believe you me transcendence is something very difficult. That is why our infallibles (IAMA) always asked to be conscientious about Barzakh. Because Barzakh is where you achieve transcendence but not easily!!! You know there are lots of difficulties after passing which one can achieve this level of transcendence and no one knows how many years will spend to get it???

There we see in Riwayat “Die before you are died” an indication towards this. What a Muslim Mystic does, he achieves this level before his death, without passing from Barzakh. In almost all religions followers are guided towards Transcendence and same in Islam. The easiest way is also given in Islam. Some non-religious get this by observing hard practices/ spiritual trainings. But even after those practices one is not able to get it rightly mostly from EVIL way such as the persons in MIND FREEK (A program telecasted on AXN TV).

So there are many ways to reach to the level of TRANSCEDENCE (Tajjarrud - Exsistence without matter and then measure). But the right way and the easiest way is ISLAM which doesn’t even interrupt your worldly matters and takes you to that level. What do you think what Salaat is? What Salaat e Shaab is? What Fasting is? All is to meet that level and from the right path. You see you reach to somewhere but from a wrong side which may take you towards difficulties and even can change your purpose too. So reaching to Transcendence only is not an achievement but reaching from right path and of course from the shortest path.
There is world of purest transcendence known as Alaalam e Aqool -THE WORLD OF WISDOM- the second level of Transedence. There are very few people who reaches to this level. Mulla Sadra- Sadar ud deen Sherazi r.a was one of them as Imam e Rahil (Imam Khomieni) r.a quoted. Imam further quotes that in this World of Wisdom there are two parts one is reserved for pious people (Ehal e Saadat) and one for sinful but strong people (Ehal e Shaqawat). Imam says; like Churchill might have reached the World Of Wisdom but he is in second part. [Ref: Maad Translated in Urdu and easily available on all famous book stores].

The World of Wisdom is second level of transcendence and there are some other levels and the Meta-Transcendence levels (mafooq e tajjarud). The last one is for Allah Almighty only that is why called ALMIGHTY!!! . Alam e Eliyeen is also another name of the World of Wisdom and onward. You can read more on this in Urdu and recommended books are:
1. Insan e Kamil by Imam Khomeini r.a
2. Al Insan ul Noori by HIWM Agha Sadiq Haideri (Student of Ayatollah Behjat r.a; the famous Shia Mystic of this age)
