An Enlightened Heart & The Day of Judgment | Chapter Al-Mu’minun
God says here, ‘Faman saqulat mawaazee nuhoo’
The word we use for scale in Urdu is tawazun which is derived from Arabic.
The word mawazeena is used for scale.
And ‘saqulat’ is derived from the word ‘saqeel’ which means heavy, weighted.
So ‘Faman saqulat mawaazee nuhoo’
means those whose scales are heavy with good deeds on the Day of Judgment,
'Faman saqulat mawaazee nuhoo’ - those whose scales are heavy with good deeds on the Day of Judgment
‘fa ulaika humul muflihoon’ - they will be the ones who will obtain salvation.
‘Wa man khaffat mawaa zeenuhoo’ -And those whose scales are lighter,
‘fa ulaikal lazeena khasiroo anfusahum fee Jahannama khalidoon’
And those whose scales are lighter will be at a loss, they will be sent to hellfire for eternity.
This is pretty simple to understand.
Now, it can also be the case that the scale on the Day of Judgement
it will not just be your physical deeds which will be measured on that scale, your esoteric deeds shall also be measured.
Your good deeds will be on one scale and your bad on the other side.
Everyone will have an abundance of physical sins, we seldom carry out good deeds.
Occasionally.
So if it was just about our physical deeds then the scale which measures our good deeds will never outweigh the bad.
This is why Mian Mohammad Bakhsh said,
‘O Lord, if you show justice, the great saints and spiritual dignitaries would begin to tremble with fear and if you choose to render your blessings’,
When it is about God’s blessings, then the scale of the Day of Judgement has no value.
So he said, ‘If you choose to render your blessings, then ugly people like me’,
here ugly is used to mean he does not have good deeds
‘People like me will also be granted salvation’.
A Prophetic Tradition also states that there will be a group of people on the Day of Judgement,
the scale of their bad deeds will be very heavy and the scale of their good deeds will be very light.
But when the Motto of Faith La Ilaha Illa Allah is placed on his scale, it dominates the scale.
So the religious clergymen read this and make a fool out of us by saying that they have recited the Motto of Faith many times
but what they don’t know is that
the Motto of Faith will only come in handy on the Day of Judgement if it is already in your heart.
It will be the Motto of Faith that your heart and soul recited.
When the accountability of the scale will be completed for some people,
God will command the angels to wait and increase the weight in the scales of good deeds.
The angels will ask, ‘What are those good deeds?’
God will reply, ‘These are the deeds of his heart. I am the only one who knows about them’.
So when your heart engages in the remembrance of God,
the Qur’an says, ‘And when the secrets of hearts are uncovered, on that Day…’
Which means that when the accountability of the scales is underway,
God shall make known the divine energy generated from an enlightened heart.
God will say, ‘Put this divine energy on his scale that no one knew about’.
The Activation of the Heart is so powerful that it outweighs all the sins.
The following sentence is ‘Wa man khaffat mawaa zeenuhoo’.
In the first scenario, the good deeds of your body weighed less but when your esoteric deeds were checked
‘Wa hussila maa fis sudoor’ - God shall check their hearts for any deeds.
And when their esoteric deeds are checked, they find an abundance of Zikr and it is placed on the scale.
And if someone’s heart is checked but there is no divine energy in their heart then his good deed scale remains empty.
He will be at a loss.
Now, if you would like to evaluate this
then those who have offered Salat and worshipped all their lives
and at the same time they bear grudges and malice and false pride in their hearts and they waste their good deeds.
For instance, they offered Salat in abundance but they didn’t pay attention to what God said.
‘Fa wailul-lil musaleen allazina hum 'an salaatihim saahoon allazina hum yuraa'oon’
'Destruction upon those who are unaware of the reality of Salat, they are simply showing off.'
They think that they have been offering Salat all their lives but God says these Salat of yours will be your destruction.
You are showing off.
You do not know the reality of Salat.
A Prophetic Tradition states, ‘There is no Salat without the presence of the heart’.
Secondly, there are so many denominations and some of the sects do not respect Prophet Mohammad.
One sect says that, God forbid, Prophet Mohammad is just like an elder brother.
The only difference between us and him is that he would receive divine revelations.
They don’t respect Prophet Mohammad.
They don't love Prophet Mohammad.
They don’t even love the Household of Prophet Mohammad.
They use derogatory words for the Prophet.
When it comes to Prophet Mohammad, the Muslim nation is caught in the battle of whether or not the Prophet is divine light.
At times, they doubt the esoteric knowledge the Prophet possessed
and then they also reject the fact that Prophet Mohammad is made of divine light.
They only believe him to be a man, a Prophet at most, nothing more.
What does the Qur’an state?
‘O devout believers, do not raise your voices above the voice of Prophet Mohammad
and do not address him the way you do each other.'
'If you do such a thing, all of your deeds will be wasted and you will not even be aware of it’.
You will be standing proudly on the Day of Judgment but you will be empty-handed.
Everything that you had went into a loss.
You did not offer Salat properly.
'La salata illa bi huzoori e qalb'.
But your heart was not present in your Salat, so you lost all the performances of Salat.
Understand?
And the salvation you would have been granted by virtue of Prophet Mohammad’s love,
you lost that too when you blasphemed the Prophet.
‘khaffat mawaa zeenuhoo’ - Your scale will be light.
You will not be granted salvation by any prophet, messenger or saint of God.
Who will make your scale heavy?
You will be at a loss.
‘fa ulaikal lazeena khasiroo’.
You wasted all your deeds on earth so now you will enter hellfire.
‘Khalidoona’ - and you’ll stay there forever.
Q: Is there a way to be saved?
Of course, there is a way.
Bring God’s name into your heart.
If your heart chants the name of God just once, it will be dominant on the scale.
This is the way.
Those whose hearts are revived with God’s name and their hearts say the name of God just one time,
that one time will be enough for them.
What could be a greater way than this?
Those who have the name of God in their hearts
Don’t think that the Activation of the Heart is a small thing.
Sultan Haq Bahu said that if your heart says God’s name just once,
you will receive the reward equivalent of reciting the Qur’an 72,000 times
because there are 72,000 pores in your body,
when the heart says the name of God once, the voice is echoed 72,000 times through the pores.
If your heart says God’s name just once, you will be rewarded for reciting the Qur’an 72,000 times.
If the heart says God’s name just one time, God will give you a reward equivalent of reciting the Quran 72,000 times.
Just once.
Now, tell me is there anyone in the world who has been able to recite the Qur’an 72,000 times?
If you were to complete the Qur’an every year, it would take you 72,000 years.
[For the heart to say God’s name] is what Qasrat (abundance) means.
You cannot do this in your lifetime.
Most people die at the ages of 70 and 80, at most 100.
How many times will you read the Qur’an?
Don’t read the Qur’an because you think it is worship.
Read the Qur’an to understand your religion.
Even if you only understand one thing from the Qur’an and that one thing helps you obtain the enlightenment of the heart,
then your heart will say God’s name just once and God will reward you for reciting Qur’an 72,000 times.
Now, it’s not like the heart will say God’s name just once.
At the very least, a common person’s heart will repeat the name of God 50,000 times a day.
At the very least.
Or 70,000 times.
People want to know how to increase their Zikr.
The quantity of Zikr depends on the rank one holds.
If God does not want to grant you a rank, he will not let your Zikr reach the figure pertaining to that rank.
What is that figure?
72,000.
That is for a Faqir.
What is the divine condition for a Faqir?
He must engage in Zikr 72,000 times daily.
Every day.
Now, the Zikr of 72,000 is attached with a rank.
God will only allow your Zikr to reach this figure when he wants to grant you the rank.
If that rank is not written in your fate, your Zikr will never reach the figure of 72,000.
Even if it does reach this figure, it will not remain constant.
It will go down to 65,000, 67,000 or 69,000.
This is the figure of Zikr for a devout believer.
But for the Zikr of 72,000 God has attached a rank with it.
And the number of 125,000 is for the Divine Lovers.
If your heart says God’s name once
Let’s say you are a devout believer and your heart engages in God’s name 60-65 thousand times per day.
If you multiply 60-65 thousand with 72,000, can you imagine the rewards for this?
How many Qur’ans must you have completed by virtue of the Heart Activation?
You must be rewarded for reading the Qur’an billions of times.
If your heart says God’s name two times, you are given a reward equivalent of reciting the Qur’an almost 150,000 times.
Is it possible to verbally recite the Qur’an 150,000 times in one second?
So isn’t this a blessing?
This is a blessing of God.
