So, the hypocrites and especially the Wahhabis
and Salafis use this incident to prove that,
'if the Prophet (s) was aware of the unknown,
then why did they not know what had happened?'
In fact, the Prophet (s) remained utterly silent about the matter.
Bibi Aisha repeatedly said,
‘O Messenger of God, please tell them.
Why do you not speak to defend me?’
But the Prophet (s) remained silent…
Did Muhammad (s) Possess Knowledge of the Unknown?
There is the unknown and then there is the Unseen World.
Now, what is the unknown?
That which is not in your knowledge is referred to as 'ghaib' (the unknown).
For instance, people argue over whether the Prophet (s) possessed knowledge of the unknown.
This is complete nonsense.
Why is that even something to discuss?
When the Qur'an refers to 'ghaib',
it is something else, it means something else.
First of all, what did God say in regard to the unknown in the Qur’an?
'Faqul innamal ghaib lillah'
Then say: ‘’The unknown is for Allah.’’’
When there are arguments between the Barelvi and Wahhabis,
[they question], 'Did the Prophet (s) have knowledge of the unknown?'
Their understanding of the knowledge of the unknown is this:
was the Prophet (s) aware of the events of the future?
[Knowing] what will happen in the future.
And then, there are many things that become evidence
for the hypocrites and a trial for the believers.
For example, the Prophet (s) was travelling with Bibi Aisha.
During the travel, Bibi Aisha's necklace fell
and she began looking for it.
The entire caravan was travelling on camels
Now, if someone steps out of the car, you would know,
‘Atif was sitting in the front seat, where did he go?’
But that was a caravan of camels
and it’s not like they had something like ‘Find A Friend’.
Now, [Bibi Aisha] stayed behind to look for her necklace
and there was a hypocrite among the rest of the travellers
and he conspired against her.
He wanted to create a scene one way or another.
When he saw her looking for her necklace, he stayed behind too.
Now, he stayed there while Bibi Aisha was looking for her necklace.
The Prophet (s) carried on with the caravan.
A while later, it was noticed that Bibi Aisha was not with them,
and soon after, they saw Bibi Aisha approaching along with the hypocrite.
Now, in the Arab culture, this was enough to cast doubts.
They are quick to place blame,
so people instantly started making stories against the two of them.
So, the hypocrites and especially the Wahhabis and Salafis use this incident to prove that,
'if the Prophet (s) was aware of the unknown, then why did they not know what had happened?'
In fact, the Prophet (s) remained utterly silent about the matter.
Bibi Aisha repeatedly said,
‘O Messenger of God, please tell them.
Why do you not speak to defend me?’
But the Prophet (s) remained silent.
So they say, ‘Had the Prophet (s) possessed knowledge of the unknown, he would have said it’.
This was a great allegation [on Bibi Aisha]
but the Prophet (s) did not speak.
Those whose hearts are ailed and corrupted [do not understand these things],
and people also did this with HDE Gohar Shahi
as well as the Prophet (s).
I was in the habit of kissing the feet of HDE Gohar Shahi whenever I met them.
So, similarly, when I went to Kotri and kissed the feet of the Lord,
there was another zakir from Karachi, Azeem Danish, sitting beside me.
And just as I was kissing the Lord’s feet, he asked,
'Master, certain people say that your believers prostrate to you'.
The Lord asked, 'Who prostrates before us?'
And he instantly said, 'For example, Brother Younus went straight to your feet'.
The Lord said, 'It is impermissible to prostrate before any human'.
This made him very happy.
A while later, he approached me and said, 'So! Now do you understand?’
I said, ‘Understand what?
When did Sarkar say, ‘’Do not prostrate to me’’?’
He said, ‘They said it in front of you’.
I said, 'The Master said that you must not prostrate before a human.
I have never prostrated to any human. You fool’.
But that’s the thing with hypocrites,
they attempt to time their attacks perfectly.
Now, Bibi Aisha implored the Prophet (s) to speak on her behalf but the Prophet (s) remained silent.
I tell you the things
which changed my faith and creed.
If you continue to study these narrations, your intellect will become like that of a dog.
Umar bin Khattab would constantly pester the Prophet (s)
and say, 'Why do you not speak up?
If you are doubtful, then how will the world react?
Speak up! Tell them!'
To such an extent that Maula Ali stood up and scolded him, 'Silence! This is not how you speak to the Prophet (s)!'
And Umar bin Khattab said, 'No! This is a matter that relates to the wife of the Prophet (s).
He must speak up!'
Whilst Maula Ali was scolding Umar bin Khattab,
and when Umar bin Khattab began to raise his voice, Bibi Aisha came and started crying.
Umar bin Khattab on one side and Bibi Aisha on the other, pestering the Prophet (s),
saying, 'You don’t love me!’ ‘Why do you not speak up?!’ This and that and the other. They created a terrible atmosphere.
Soon after, a revelation was revealed upon the Prophet (s) declaring Bibi Aisha to be innocent.
Following this, Bibi Aisha started to strut around,
saying, 'See! You did not testify for me!
God revealed a verse for me but you did not testify on my behalf.'
The Prophet (s) still remained silent.
Maula Ali then approached Bibi Aisha and said,
'You see, if the Prophet (s) testified for you without a revelation from God,
then people would have said that the Prophet (s) has defended his wife as her husband.
Some would have believed it, some would not'.
Bibi Aisha said, 'Who wouldn’t have believed?!'
Maula Ali said, 'Since you’re asking, I’ll tell you who would and who wouldn’t have believed’.
Maula Ali said, 'Those that bear the love of the Prophet (s) in their heart would have believed even without the Prophet (s) saying anything,
and those whose hearts are ailed
would say, ‘’The Prophet (s) has only defended his wife,
it’s not like God has descended a verse that we can believe.’’’
Bibi Aisha then asked Ali, 'Just tell me this much,
was the Prophet (s) aware?
I am not asking why he remained silent.
I accept the reason for his silence.
I just want to know whether the Prophet (s) was aware or not’.'
Maula Ali said, 'The Prophet (s) knows everything.
They remained silent so that people would not place allegations of marital prejudice’.
Because the Prophet (s) never said anything on his own will about any matter.
And this is why God revealed this verse about the Prophet (s) in the Qur’an,
'The Prophet (s) does not utter a single word from his own accord.
Rather, he says nought else but what has been revealed unto him'.
This is not a small thing.
If you just read it and move on, you’re doing a great injustice.
This verse states the Prophet (s) does not speak on his own will,
so if you practically analyse this, it is very perplexing.
It means that the Prophet (s) would have had to remain silent most of the time and would not utter a single thing until a revelation was revealed upon them.
Even the most straightforward problems would take a great deal of time to address
and the Prophet (s) would have to bear the remarks people make.
That’s a problem, isn’t it?
People would take this point and make a fuss of it.
And people would say, 'the Prophet (s) does not even testify the innocence of his own wife'.
The Prophet (s) would also utter what God would reveal upon them.
As for those that claim that the Prophet (s) is not aware of the unseen,
then how did the Prophet (s) prophesy what was to happen up to 1,400 years.
The Prophet (s) prophesied what would happen in the next 1,400 years.
So much so that you are trying to recognise the Anti-Christ and Imam Mehdi in light of the narrations,
and you would have been able to too.
However, there have been alterations in the narrations.
You see what God has done to preserve the authenticity of the Qur'an? Such a patent preparations.
Listen closely to what I am saying.
The revelations were revealed directly by God,
but at the same time, it was being sent through Gabriel too.
They are coming directly from God and Gabriel is also bringing them from God.
As for the narrations, people dictated them themselves.
They propagated them themselves and published it themselves.
did Gabriel preserve and deliver these to you too? No.
This is why, when the clergymen noticed that the Muslim ummah was dispersing,
We must redirect them.
So to change the direction of their faith,
and turn the ummah against their desired individuals, they started removing numerous narrations, and presented a 'reformed version'.
And the book 'Bukhari Shareef'
There was an individual named, 'Nasir al Bani'.
Therein contained 14,000 narrations of the Prophet (s),
he removed narrations and said that only 498 narrations were authentic.
The rest are false.
There were so many narrations in regards to Imam Mehdi,
in regards to Moula Ali,
the knowledge of spiritual poverty, the knowledge of Ishq,
There were so many narrations, such knowledge.
If we still had those narrations, no one would render the clergymen any importance.
They were removed.
Then there are conniving individuals like Mirza Ali,
They say that the saints are old men, who do not know anything about Islam.
Such imbeciles have picked up the Qur'an and the Ahadith and are misleading Muslims.
Every personality has a temperament too.
And that temperament of theirs is dominant over all the knowledge.
The thing that God said in the Qur'an is about the temperament of the Prophet (s).
God said, 'God is fond of those that rely on God'.
The Prophet (s) possessed all this power and knowledge,
he possessed Kashf e Nasuti, Kashf e Malakuti.
And now let me tell you the utter nonsense these clergymen spew,
they say there is no such thing as spiritual insight and the Prophet (s) did not have spiritual insight.
But tell me, if the Prophet (s) did not have spiritual insight,
then how was the Prophet (s) aware of the appearance of Owais Qarni?
How was the Prophet (s) aware of the birthmark on the wrist of Owais Qarni?
The Prophet (s) described him to people, that he has a birthmark on his wrist.
How did the Prophet (s) see it?
Must it be said by the Prophet (s) for you to believe the Prophet (s) knows?
What the Prophet (s) is stating through spiritual insight,
is it not enough
for you to understand the Prophet’s (s) power and the strength of his sight?
Isn’t this proof enough?
Yemen is so far [from Medina].
Neither did Owais Qarni come to meet the Prophet (s) nor did the Prophet (s) go to meet him.
Then how did the Prophet (s) know?
This was the temperament of the Prophet (s),
he did not care to use his spiritual insight for anything,
rather he would rely on God, no matter what happens.
This is the temperament of the beloved Prophet (s).
And this is also the temperament we observed in HDE Gohar Shahi.
Now, the spiritual dignitaries of the religion, who are referred to as ‘old men’...
The things that certain saints had witnessed with their spiritual insight - they were inferior saints.
They are like what we call ‘the new-rich’ meaning one who has newly become wealthy.
They behave very strangely.
For example, if they have bought an expensive watch for the first time -
- and I’ve seen this with my own eyes.
I won’t say his name but there was a man,
and you know what he did?
He bought a new watch - a friend of mine from Karachi.
He bought a new watch and thought,
‘My cuff is covering the watch, so people can’t see it’.
So what did he do?
He put the watch on top of the cuff.
He put it on top of the cuff. I asked, ‘What have you done there?’
He goes, ‘It wasn’t visible underneath’.
I mean, who are you trying to show it to?
That’s the problem with the new-rich.
They like to show off the expensive items they buy.
So, similarly, low-class saints
are fond of checking things with their spiritual insight.
Whereas, the personalities that we speak of,
their temperaments are very different.
For certain saints, their spiritual insight was their tool of trade.
This means that they had to use the tool of spiritual insight for the nature of their duty.
There have been many spiritual dignitaries in the past
that had to use their spiritual insight out of necessity because their duty asked for it.
For example, the Abdaal,
they have spiritual insight and they are also able to communicate.
How do they communicate? With the use of their Akhfah.
For example, all you can observe is when someone speaks,
that voice then enters someone's ears and then they comprehend what has been said.
But HDE Gohar Shahi explained,
'This flesh that is between our jaws is a tongue, and the animals also possess this flesh,
so how is that that we can speak but the animal cannot?
We possess ethereal spirits but the animals do not.
We are endowed with the ethereal spirit of Akhfah in the centre of the chest, which allows us to speak.
Animals do not possess this ethereal spirit’.
So, we learned that the power of speech given to our tongues
was rendered by the Akhfah.
It is the Akhfah that speaks
and the words are uttered by the tongue.
Now, if someone is granted esoteric hearing also
then why would they need to use their tongue?
Your Akhfah and Sirri are both enlightened;
you can speak esoterically through the Akhfah and your Sirri shall listen.
If you’re speaking with the tongue - the issue is
that if you are sitting before someone, then it is very easy to speak to them directly,
however, if I am sitting here and Shakeel is 40 miles away,
then why must I use my tongue to speak?
My Akhfah and his Akhfah are enlightened,
so instead of using my tongue which is powered by the Akhfah, I would use the Akhfah to speak to him directly.
So, these saints converse using the Akhfah.
The spiritual guide also sends spiritual messages through the Akhfah.
For instance, what would happen with me sometimes was that I would be sitting alone, crying in longing for HDE Gohar Shahi.
The Lord would be in America and I would be crying alone at nigh
t and suddenly, I would hear the Lord's voice,
'Younus, why are you weeping?'
I would look here and there and think that this is just my imagination.
So once, I proffered before the Lord,
‘Master, sometimes I hear your voice but I cannot see you'.
The Lord said, 'Yes, when you are sombre,
we want to know how you are'.
I asked, ‘Master, I can hear you, so why can I not see you?'
The Lord said, 'We speak esoterically and you can hear our voice from a distance’.
Then the Lord said,
'There shall come a time when Imam Mehdi
shall converse with the use of their Akhfah
and the entire population of the globe shall hear their voice'.
All those who have divine light in their hearts.
Don’t think people will be sitting around in a gathering in front of Imam Mehdi who shall then speak to them.
No, Imam Mehdi may be anywhere
and they shall speak through their Akhfah -
- someone will be sitting at home, someone at their work,
someone would be in the hospital
and they will hear the voice of Imam Mehdi.
Is this a small thing?
For example, you require the internet for YouTube;
no other device
and Imam Mehdi shall utilise the devices and divine gadgets that God has equipped you with.
