Levels of Wajud part-3

Dear Brothers

There were many requests for the book therefore I am mailing it to group so that everyone can get benefit of it. The reason why I was reluctant because of philosophical nature of such issues may lead towards tedious feelings regarding this subject which is not good.

Dear Friends, mind it these subjects are related to your Origin and End (Mabda wa Ma`ad) and such believes cannot be trailed (Taqleed). But you are required to spend whole of your life (plenty of time) to reading these theories so as to become your own teacher.

“May Allah bless him who knows; Who he is? From where he came? And to where he has to go”

There are many ways by which you can develop your such believes one of them is through Logic/PHILOSPHY, the other is Kalam, the third one is Shahood. Each has its own benefit but what actually our magnificent Scholars particularly Imam e Ummat Al-insan o noori - Imam Khomeini r.a adopted is the way Logic/Philosophy + Shahood o Irfan (gnosis). I here quote an extract from Imam’s letter to Mikhail Gorbachev

“….You may also have the scholars familiarize themselves with Transcendental philosophy (16) of Mulla Sadra (17) (may Allah b~ pleased with him and resurrect him with the prophets and the pious), so tha it may become clear that the nature of knowledge is different from the natur of matter and that intellect, far removed from matter, cannot be restricted b the laws governing matter.Iwon't tire you further by mentioning the works of mystics, in particul Muhyid-Din ibn-e-Arabi (18). If you wish to make yourself acquainted with th doctrines of this celebrated mystic, send a number ofyour brilliant scholar who are well-versed in this field, to Qum (19) so that, by reliance on God, th may, after a couple of years, glimpse the depth of the delicate stages o gnosis (20) which, will be impossible for them to acquire without making such journey….”

Same Imam r.a wished in his will from the YOUTH

From here you can judge that how important this philosophy is?

May Allah bless you all!
