Ponder! Ponder upon this!
And part with the scholars that have deceived you for thousands of years!
God knows which pigeon and crow they speak of.
Which Birds Perform Salah?
This is verse 41 of Surah An-Nur.
'alam tara…'
'Have you not seen…’
'an allah yussabihoo lahoo'
'that the name of God is being chanted, upon the lands and in the skies'.
If you do not pay attention, you may read and move on,
however, if you do pay attention, you'll find many secrets here.
There are many units here,
however, my discourses are delivered only in this unit.
Am I speaking in any other unit? No.
But if you were to find out that I am speaking in other units too,
then you'd think, 'but you are sitting here’,
and this would become perplexing for you.
You will wonder how can I be speaking over there when I am sitting here?
However, if it is verified, if someone shows you a picture of me speaking there at the same time,
you'll say that this is a miracle.
The discourse is being delivered here and there.
Similarly, God is pointing toward a sensitive point here.
So, if I were to say that
I am speaking in this building and simultaneously in another building too, haven’t you seen?
It means I sent you to go and authenticate, for you to know.
You have seen it, you know that this is where I am speaking.
‘Have you not seen that the name of God is being chanted,
upon the lands and in the skies?’
What you do not understand is
that you think if the name of God is being chanted by the creation on earth and the higher realms, it’s not a great thing.
However, God is saying, 'Those spirits from within you are commemorating my name on the land and upon the skies'.
The ethereal spirits [from within you] are commemorating God’s name.
Where? ‘Fee samawati (‘in all the skies) ‘wal ardh (and on land)’.
‘wattairoo sa'afaat'. Now, 'tair' is an Arabic word which means to fly, to take flight.
Anything can fly. Pigeons fly. Flies also fly. Crows also fly.
So, 'fly' here refers to an entire group of subjects that carry the ability to fly,
it’s not just about one particular thing.
It is about all that have the ability to fly.
So, what exactly does God refer to when he speaks of 'flying'?
And it says here, 'sa'afat', which means something that continues to escalate in height whilst in flight.
Once it reaches a particular height, it doesn’t stop there, it continues to ascend higher, and higher still.
One that can take flight from Nasut all the way through to Malakut,
part with the spiritual heart there, then take flight with the soul to Jabrut,
then part with the soul once there, and then, with the aid of the Akhfah, Khafi and Sirri,
one reaches the Ahdiyat and the Station of Mehmood.
This is in reference to those [creatures] that can take flight; those that can take flight, [from] within you.
Now, let’s take a look at the following.
'Kulloo’ (all of them)...’ This is about the ethereal spirits that can fly. ‘All of them…’
‘qad ilma (they are all aware)’ ‘salaatahoo (of their salah)'.
All of these souls that can fly know of their salah.
That means that the spirits inside also offer salah.
Who says this, me or the Qur'an?
Look at how they've translated this.
'All the birds that spread their wings and fly, they know of their salah'.
Does that make sense? You ignorant fools!
How does that make sense, that the birds that spread their wings and fly know of their salah?
Which crow knows about salah?
Which pigeon knows about salah?
This is not about birds!
This is about the spirits within you that can fly. It is about these souls.
These souls are aware that their salah shall take place in Bait al Mamoor.
Your body shall worship in the mosques and temples,
however, the spirits within you know where their worship must be performed, and that is where they go to worship.
'All those that are able to fly [souls within you] they are aware of where they are to offer their salah,
and they are also aware of their zikr'.
Then, you recline and sit in peace,
whilst one of your ethereal spirits travels to Malakut, another to Jabrut,
another to Wehdat and another to Lahut, and another to Ankabut, and another to Ahdiyat.
They all reach their respective realms and you’re reclined comfortably on your chair.
And God says, ‘wallahu 'aleemum bimaa yaf'aloon’.
God says that he is aware of where you sit, however, he is also aware of where your ethereal spirits travel to whilst you sit in one place.
This is Qur'an e Maknoon.
Now, do you not see the teachings of HDE Gohar Shahi here?
Because God is not speaking about human beings here,
so why would he be talking about crows and pigeons?
I used to be perplexed [when I read their mistranslations]
I thought, ‘We are human beings, the greatest of God’s creation and we don’t know about our salah
but these bloody pigeons and crows that can fly know about their salah?’
I mean, it’s a point to ponder, isn’t it?
It says here, ‘All those that can fly know of their salah and zikr’.
What about us? We’re the greatest of all creation.
But the crows and pigeons and whatever else that can fly
have surpassed us because they know about their salah and zikr.
What does ths verse refer to?
Crows and pigeons?
Or sparrows?
No, it is about the ethereal spirits within.
Qalb e Muneeb, Qalb e Saleem, Qalb e Shaheed,
the soul, the Khafi, Sirri, Akhfah and Ana.
These ethereal souls that depart from within you and fly above,
God says they are aware of the location of their salah.
We have to find a way to keep these souls in our control.
Spirituality is a harder, longer way to take control of these spirits.
We have found the easiest way to attain this, and it is to please HDE Gohar Shahi.
Take an oath today to remain loyal to HDE Gohar Shahi. [You take this oath]
and I shall make [your ethereal spirits] fly within 3 months!
I promise you.
One type of flying is to make strenuous efforts to become a pilot and fly [the plane],
and the other is for someone to say, ‘Why do you want to become a pilot? Come, sit behind me. I am flying [the plane], so come fly with me’.
So, there is the method attained through spirituality
in which you have to prepare the ethereal spirits, extract the sub-spirits from them…
and this takes a real toll on you.
The other method is to be loyal to HDE Gohar Shahi.
When I am satisfied that out you are loyal to HDE Gohar Shahi, I shall take you along with me.
Now, if someone reaches that stage through their own efforts, then I am not responsible for them.
They made efforts and reaped the benefits
I cannot be held accountable for that.
Like, ‘how did Zahir Shah gain access to the Station of Mehmood?’
What do I know?
He strived to enlighten his spiritual sensory system and gained access.
I cannot be held responsible for this.
However, I shall be questioned about those whom I have taken.
It shall be asked, 'Who brought this person? How did he get here? He can’t be here.'
I say, 'I brought them’, and then it shall be asked, 'Why have you brought him?’
And I shall reply, 'Because he is loyal to HDE Gohar Shahi. He is trustworthy, that’s why I brought him along’.
[It will be then said] ‘Alright, you may stay’.
This is how you can be taken there.
Now, when you shall make 2-3 trips to the higher realms,
you shall learn yourself the art of flight. How so?
Initially, through spiritual concentration, divine energy shall be implanted into you to empower your journey, right?
You see, the speech I make here, in this mehfil, is a speech that goes through my spiritual sensory system (lataif).
My lataif are constantly generating divine light, and when I speak that divine light attaches to the words that depart from my mouth, and it enters your hearts.
However, when one is loyal to HDE Gohar Shahi,
then they are attached to the manifestation of HDE Gohar Shahi that resides in my heart.
Now, they are not being rendered the divine light from my lataif, now they are connected to the manifestation of HDE Gohar Shahi.
For which it is important that you are loyal to Them.
Let me remind you, within three months you can empower and strengthen your souls through this technique
to make them capable of reaching the higher realms - the technique of becoming the passenger.
Now, in reference to the ayah we were dissecting,
other than the explanation I have given, what do you understand from it?
You would just think it’s about flying birds and God is talking about their salah.
Have you ever seen a praying crow?
There are many living creatures that chant the name of God,
as we know some trees and stones engage in the glorification of God.
Have you ever heard of birds that are aware of their salah?
The birds have knowledge of their salah, yet humans don't? The crows and pigeons know about it, but we don’t.
How is it that humans do not know that the birds being referred to in this ayah are the spirits within them?
And all these ethereal spirits inside the human being have the ability to fly.
Those that are being referred to as [birds], they are the ethereal bodies within us which God is making mention of. That ‘they have their own [method of] glorification [of God], their own salah…
if you don’t include the elucidation we’ve made, then what would you [be able to] understand?
Let’s read it as it is, let’s see what is being said.
‘Do you not see them glorifying God, all those that are in the skies and upon the land?’
Why would God say such a nonsensical thing?
If I were to say to you, ‘Can you not see that everything between the land and skies are commemorating God?’
You would say, ‘Actually, no. How could I see that?’
Honestly speaking, you can’t, right?
We can’t even see what’s going on in our neighbourhood.
So would God be asking us, ‘Can you not see who is commemorating my name in the land and skies?’
Be honest and tell me, can you see it?
‘Can you not see those that glorify God that are on land and in the skies?’
No, we cannot see it. But God is adamant, ‘Yes, you can’.
Therefore, this is not being addressed to us.
We don’t even know what’s going on next door.
But the verse states, ‘Can you not see the birds that glorify God, that are on the land and in the skies?’
Where are we supposed to see them? Can you see it?
But it is written in the Qur’an that the commemoration of God’s name is happening.
By whom? ‘All of them’. Who is ‘them’? We don't know.
‘The ones on land and in the skies’. They are all commemorating God’s name and God says, ‘You can see it’.
How can we see it?
How do we know which bird is commemorating God’s name in which location?
So who is God referring to here?
He is referring to the person whose souls are parting with him to fly to the higher realms. The one whose souls roam the skies would be able to see them, right?
He refers to that individual, ‘And can you not see your ethereal spirits roaming the earth and the higher realms?’
Allama Iqbal said, 'There are realms beyond the skies and many tests of love to come, still’.
Now, God speaks of the ethereal spirits that roam the land and the skies, and God says that you can see them too.
And about them, God says, ‘They know of the location of their salah’.
How can it be about physical pigeons and crows that know about their salah.
How can humans be heedless of their salah while the birds are aware of it?
I am jolting you, [constantly] jolting you, at times softly, at times stringently and sometimes through light entertainment.
I want to hammer the essence of the Qur’an into your minds and hearts.
Ponder! Ponder upon this!
And part with the scholars that have deceived you for thousands of years!
God knows which pigeon and crow they speak of.
This is in reference to the ethereal spirits within you!
When your ethereal spirits take flight from your body, you will be able to see them.
This is why God says, ‘Are you aware [of your spirits] that roam the lands and the skies?
And they have the knowledge of their zikr and salah’.
I have never seen a crow offering salah.
This is not about birds, this is not about pigeons and crows.
Such great, grand, renowned scholars…
yet they don’t know what this verse is referring to. They don’t even use their logic.
God says, ‘Can you not see?’ How could we see all the birds at all times?
‘Can you not see them on the land and in the skies?’ No, absolutely we cannot.
We don’t even know what’s taking flight right next to us.
This is a message to all of you, ponder!
This mentions objects that can fly that are also aware of their salah.
Is this in reference to birds? Nay!
This is a reference to the ethereal spirits within you.
When these spirits take flight from your body, you will be able to see everywhere they go.
This is why God says, 'alam tara (can you not see)...’
‘an allah yussabihoo lahoo (the spirits within you that take flight and commemorate my name)?’
Your spiritual heart is commemorating God in the Realm of Malakut,
your soul flies to the Realm of Jabarut to offer salah - it is aware of its salah.
For instance, your body is aware which mosque it needs to go to offer prayers.
Similarly, your soul knows where to go and offer salah.
When you conduct the transcendental meditation of your soul,
it will fly up to Bait ul Mamour and offer salah there because it knows of its salah.
Similarly, this [Ana] also knows of its salah.
It knows it has to go to the Station of Mehmood. What kind of salah does it offer?
‘I gaze upon you and you gaze upon me’.
For God and the Ana to gaze upon each other is the Ana’s salah.
God then says, 'wallahu 'aleemum bimaa yaf'aloon’
All that you are doing - do not think that you are able to see your spirits take flight and that God is unaware.
‘Know that God is aware of all that you do!'
God is aware of all that you do.
