‘Neither am I the progeny of Adam and Eve’ - what does this mean?
This means that God created the souls in two episodes.
How many?
The Foremost Souls & The Attachment of HDE Gohar Shahi
In the first episode, God created three types of souls.
The souls of God’s nearness, God’s love and God’s manifestation
and God would spend his time with them, dwelling among them.
After a long time, hundreds of thousands of years later,
God decided to create the common souls.
When he then created the common souls,
he created them with the command ‘'Be’'.
With what? [Audience: Command ‘’Be’’].
Yes, with the command ‘’Be’’.
The souls he created with the command ‘'Be’',
to whom he had said, 'Am I not with your Lord?',
who then replied, 'Yes, we bear witness',
these souls are known as 'the progeny of Adam and Eve'.
Then, for the purpose of rendering these souls guidance,
the souls from the Foremost Souls -
- the ones of God’s nearness, love and manifestations,
souls were extracted from them.
Prophets and saints were sent from among the Foremost Souls.
The other set of souls, the ones who were shown the modelled luxuries of the world and paradise,
not a single one of them was a saint.
The saints do not come from their neighbourhood,
nor did any prophet come from among them.
The prophets and saints - which saints?
The saints who have witnessed God are not from this group,
they are from the Foremost Souls.
And Bulleh Shah alluded to this in his poetry.
He said, 'The incident of the command '’Be’' occurred only yesterday…’,
how can he have made this statement?
That, 'The incident of the command '’Be’' occurred only yesterday…’, ?
‘...whereas I predate this incident!’
As we have just explained, it's because such souls were from the Foremost Souls.
‘I am neither the progeny of Adam and Eve nor did I name myself’.
‘Progeny of Adam and Eve’ means the souls that were created from the command ‘’Be’’,
for whom it was said, ‘Tell them that the soul is the command of my Lord’ -
- this is not for everyone.
This verse is only for those whose soul was created with the command ‘’Be’’.
Those upon whom he manifested his nearness are not the creation of the command ‘’Be’’.
Those upon whom he dispersed the manifestations of his love -
- for the previous one, I used the word ‘manifested’ and for this, ‘dispersed’.
Both prophets and saints came from this previous group, the Foremost Souls.
The Sabiqoon (Foremost Souls) mentioned in a verse in the holy Qur’an.
The souls that were created with the command '’Be’' -
- from amongst them, those that opted for paradise,
for them were created the religions and prophets and saints were sent from [the Foremost Souls].
This era, known as the end times, which is the era of Imam Mehdi -
- for this era were summoned the Foremost Souls.
Here, they become known as Moses, Idris, etc.
When they came here, they became Moses, David, Jonah, Joseph, Adam, Abraham.
Over here, they were known as prophets,
whereas, they were all a group of friends up there.
So when a single soul was sent from among the Foremost Souls, it was descended as a prophet,
and later on, when hordes of those souls were descended,
they became the followers of Imam Mehdi
but, in reality, the followers of Imam Mehdi and individuals like Abraham and Moses are brothers to each other.
And why wouldn’t they be?
When Jesus Christ said, ‘My follower is equivalent to John the Baptist’
and Imam Mehdi is the spiritual master of Jesus Christ,
so how can the followers of Imam Mehdi be lesser than John the Baptist?
Their followers cannot be lesser than John the Baptist.
Number one - set aside Sarkar’s teachings for the time being -
- the place they come from is the reason they are no lesser [than John the Baptist].
Because the place they come from is the very place the prophets and saints come from.
They are the same group of souls; the spiritual ranks were not attached with the souls.
If there is a general, a bridagier, a colonel and a captain sitting here - it’s just the ranks that are ascending, the people behind the ranks are the same.
The people are the same, aren’t they?
Look, the souls created with the command ‘’Be’’ came in swathes
whereas only one Foremost Soul would be sent down as a prophet for an entire nation.
So, the Foremost Souls are still fully stocked up there.
Right?
In the past, every 300-400 years, one would be sent from among them.
Whereas the command ‘’Be’’ souls were pouring down.
Go take a look on the World-O-Metre how fast those souls are being born.
If you look at the birth metre, you would think,
have nothing else to do?
’ The second and microsecond counter is slower than the birth rate counter.
So, they are pouring down into the world, whereas, only one [Foremost Soul] was sent to guide hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, they are in abundant supply up there.
The supply of the other ones has dwindled.
This is why the Qur'an says,
'God shall then come with his nation',
it was in regard to the Foremost Souls.
‘We shall come with those who love us’ The souls of God’s love.
Isn’t that written in the Qur’an?
‘Fasawfa ya'tillaahu bi qaumin yuhibbuhum wa yuhibbunahoo -
- (God shall then come with his nation), God shall love them and they shall love God'.
That is what they already did.
They have not yet been sent and God is already saying, 'I love them and they love me', which means they are the ones he loved up there.
This is when the attachment of HDE Gohar Shahi has not yet been taken into account.
Prior to the attachment of HDE Gohar Shahi being taken into account, ponder as to where they originate from.
That nation will come from the Foremost Souls;
some from God’s nearness, God’s love or God’s manifestation.
Their only job when they come into this world is exhibit love; they are not coming here as a test.
However, when they come into the world, they became a litty dirty,
some were stained by Deobandism, others by Barelvism,
but when they came to Imam Mehdi, they were cleansed.
They didn’t have to engage in any worship because of whence they came,
nor did they have to dance like Bulleh Shah,
because they came from that same place.
Now, since they come from the same neighbourhood of souls -
- for example, you all study in the same class in school,
then you go to college and university.
Right?
Then one of you becomes a pilot, another an engineer or a policeman and one of you goes into the army, becomes a general
but when you all meet one another, would you exhibit your positions?
No, you will meet as friends.
Or let’s say you encounter an old friend from the village in a nice place in America, you would still meet him like you did in the village, wouldn’t you?
Because he’s your mate.
Similarly, the souls that descended from the Foremost Souls,
when they meet Jesus, Moses, etc. they feel right at home with them.
That is how they would feel
because they all lived together up there.
Secondly,
just as you do sehri and then go to sleep, after the decisions were made,
the Command ‘’Be’’ souls were put to sleep by God,
whereas, the the Foremost Souls are awake.
They are awake
and this is why the Jesus spoke in his cradle.
And then, they find the attachment of HDE Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi.
Then, they find the attachment of Sarkar Gohar Shahi.
Now, understand the following.
The order of prophethood and sainthood is like a government job,
and those with HDE Gohar Shahi, it’s like working for a private company.
Which has more pay?
The other one is just a government job, that is it.
We saw this individual once - he believes in HDE Gohar Shahi -
- he met Moses, and Moses asked him something.
That individual said to Moses, 'You could not even understand what Khizr said to you, yet you question me?'
‘You didn’t even understand Khizr and you are questioning me?’
That’s what that man said.
So, Moses said, 'Alright, tell me something about myself'.
And that believer of HDE Gohar Shahi said to him?
'In my opinion, there is no difference between you and a clergymen'.
Now, he was a strange man, too. He spoke to Moses in such a manner.
Then, he finds the attachment of HDE Gohar Shahi...
Once one finds that attachment, HDE Gohar Shahi's benevolence is unlimited.
There is no limit.
You are aware that among 124,000 prophets,
only the Prophet (s) was given the personal name of God, whereas, the rest were given the attributes of God.
Do you not bear witness as to how far and wide HDE Gohar Shahi have distributed the personal name of God?
This personal name of God, for which Moses begged on the Mount of Sinai
but was not rendered despite being a prophet,
but it was granted to the nation of Prophet Muhammad (s). So, tell me, would you rather be Moses
or from amongst the nation of Muhammad (s)?
Come on, tell me.
What else would you say but ‘no thanks’ to such prophethood?
What is the point of a prophethood in which you do not witness God?
Whats better? A broken car that works, or a beautiful car with a failed engine that doesn't work?
At least the broken one works!
The nation of Imam Mehdi (a), i.e. the followers are those souls [Foremost Souls].
This is why in this verse, God said,
'I shall bring my nation, they shall love me and I shall love them.
They shall be lenient and gentle upon the momineen' -
- meaning, the souls created with the command ‘’Be’’.
This tells us that he does not refer to his nation as the momineen,
because he says that they shall be gentle upon the momineen.
He does not consider them ‘momin (believers)’.
He is not calling them momin.
God said, ‘azillatin 'alal mu'mineena - they shall be very lenient upon the believers’
‘and very stern and rigid with the disbelievers’.
