[Whereas] the physical Qur'an is subjected to doubts.
'yudullu bihi katheera wa yahdi bihi katheera'
'It misguides many and it guides many'
Now, we don't know who will be rendered guidance [through it]
and who will be misguided.
What's amusing is that all those that we've observed till date
they've only ever been misguided [by it].
However, the Qur'an that presides in the chest of the Prophet (s) and is [made of] divine light
it's not [written] on any paper, it's transferred from one chest to another.
Prophet Muhammad (s)'s Esoteric Legacy
Q: Is there a verse of the Qur'an that was not copied during the compilation of the holy scripture?
Or a verse that was altered whilst the Qur'an was being put to paper?
The original Qur'an is guarded by God in the chest of our Prophet (s).
Does the contemporary form of Qur'an read the same as the Qur'an in the chest of our Prophet (s)?
Please forgive me, if my question is not appropriate.
How can we talk about what was left out of, and what remained [in the Qur'an]?
Those that have compiled [the Qur'an], would have surely made their best efforts.
They penned down as much of what they could find.
Now, it's obvious that they were only able to pen down as much of what they could find.
And they probably presumed that what they had found was all there was [to be found].
We are not in the position to sit here and say, 'the entirety [of the Qur'an] wasn't copied [to paper]'.
You can only claim that 'the entirety [of the Qur'an] wasn't copied', if you somehow manage to get your hands on 2-4 verses
and then you say, 'look, I have 2-4 verses and these verses cannot be found in the Qur'an'.
Now, that'd make sense.
[However], without such a scenario, if one claims that the entire Qur'an was not copied - this would merely be their own notion and speculation.
The second question is: was the entire Qur'an that presides in the chest of the Prophet (s) copied to paper?
Some knowledge of the Sacred Qur'an was to remain concealed in the chest of the Prophet (s).
It was limited for special people.
[This knowledge] wasn't vocally expressed before people.
[So], how can people know of something that wasn't expressed?
People will obviously claim, 'there's nothing [more than what we already have]'
If [the Qur'an] is in the heart [of the Prophet (s)], and no one has access to it, then how can one know whether or not there is more [to the Qur'an]?
Those that gained access, they then said, 'there is more [in the Qur'an, than what we know of]'
However,
God has elucidated two things in the Qur'an.
First, he refers to the book, that 'these verses too, can render guidance'.
This is for the common people.
And then there is mention of a special knowledge too.
'yahdi allahi li noorihi mayi yashaa'oo'
God grants guidance upon those whom he favours, through divine light.
Now, the guidance rendered through divine light is reserved for the special people, not the common people.
The benefit of this is that, once divine light has settled within you, the entire essence of the Qur'an will manifest in your character.
Then, you may or you may not recite the physical Qur'an, [it doesn't matter].
Sultan Bahoo didn't even know how to read and write - did he read the Qur'an?
[Yet], he became a Sultan ul Fuqra.
So, the guidance [rendered] through divine light is one that has a guarantee.
It has no doubts.
'alif laam meem zalikal kitabu la rayba fihi huddalil muttaqeen al lazeena yo'minoona bil ghaib'
[Whereas] the physical Qur'an is subjected to doubts.
'yudullu bihi katheera wa yahdi bihi katheera'
'It misguides many and it guides many'
Now, we don't know who will be rendered guidance [through it]
and who will be misguided.
What's amusing is that all those that we've observed till date
they've only ever been misguided [by it].
Weren't the Wahhabis misguided by reading it?
The Shias read it and were misguided.
The Sunnis, Barelvis read it, and they too were misguided.
That's what the 72-73 sects are reading, right?
And they're getting misguided. Which of them found guidance from reading [the Qur'an]?
Or show me someone that has read the Qur'an, yet says, 'I am not a Shia or Sunni'
'I am an Ummati'.
But there is no one like that.
However, the Qur'an that presides in the chest of the Prophet (s) and is [made of] divine light
it's not [written] on any paper, it's transferred from one chest to another.
And this is Prophet Muhammad's esoteric legacy.
Esoteric legacy.
Initially, this was limited for the special people.
And now, HDE Gohar Shahi has facilitated this commonly, by virtue of spirituality.
Just look, it's being rendered to everyone.
My advice to you is that you should be concerned about your guidance
remain engaged with the relationship you develop with God.
and stop concerning yourselves with what other people are up to.
Stop being concerned about who the Shias are and who the Wahhabis are
You must cleanse your heart.
The Messenger of God (s) decreed,
'O' Progeny of Adam, there is a lump of flesh in your body, which, if reformed, reforms your entire body...'
This is such a great formula, that you must reform only one thing to reform your entire body.
I don't know why the Ummah doesn't ponder about this, although it's of vital importance.
Amongst the offices held in the Six Authentic Compilations of Prophetic Narrations (Sihah Sitta)
one is that of Mishkat Sharif, which is also believed to be authentic.
Mishkat Sharif is a compilation of prophetic narrations.
There are some wonderful narrations found in Mishkat Sharif, which relate profoundly to the spiritual path and spirituality
For example, the narration about Zikr e Jahar (loud invocation) is also in Mishkat [Sharif]
Imam Bukhari [on the other hand] was very strict.
He did not accept [any narration] unless it was chained through at least nine of the great companions.
And then, the one who ruined Bukhari Sharif was a man named Nasir Albani.
[Because], what Nasir Albani did was...
If there were 500 narrations in Bukhari Sharif
he shrunk them, and brought the number down to 184.
He disposed of over 315 narrations [of the Prophet (s)].
He said that they are all fabricated.
Nasir Albani. He was known by the name 'Albani'.
However, his full name is Nasir Albani.
