Which form of Salat does HDE Gohar Shahi Teach?
Asma Usman is asking,
‘What is above Bait ul Mamour (The House of Anointment)?’
Bait ul Mamour is within Alam e Jabrut (The Realm of Souls)
so asking what is above Bait ul Mamour is not the correct question because Bait ul Mamour is within Alam e Jabrut.
The question is what is above Alam e Jabrut?
Bait ul Mamour is not like the Eiffel Tower; situated somewhere, seen from afar and you ask, ‘What’s above it?’
Above it are clouds.
So, Bait ul Mamour is a worship place created by God for the souls.
The souls worship and perform Salat there.
You only think about the Salat that is performed on earth.
Right?
Let me tell you of an incident of my childhood in Pakistan.
My father said, ‘The Imam of Kaaba is here and’
I don’t know which mosque it was
’he will lead the Salat there. We are going there’.
So we went there.
After that, when we returned; the second day, I said,
‘Father, the Salat that His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi is teaching us is performed in a place where we meet 124,000 prophets daily’.
That place is Bait ul Mamour, where, in every Salat,
you have the honour of meeting all the prophets from Adam the Eminent One to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Not only will you meet them but you will stand alongside them and offer Salat.
This is known as Shariat e Ahmedi.
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) has given us two types of Sharia (Sacred Law).
One is Shariat e Mohammadi which is for the body.
The other is Shariat e Ahmedi which is for the soul.
The Salat that you perform was introduced on the Night of Ascension.
But Sharia did not exist when Prophet Mohammad lead the prayers for the 124,000 prophets on the Night of Ascension,
so what form of Sharia was this?
Salat had not been established at that time.
When Salat had not been established
then based upon which Sharia did Prophet Mohammad lead the prayers for the prophets?
It was based upon Shariat e Ahmedi.
Furthermore, it is also said that Jesus Christ shall return in the era of Imam Mehdi.
So which Sharia will he follow?
He will follow Shariat e Ahmedi.
Which one? [Audience: Shariat e Ahmedi].
So, my dear sisters and brothers,
you should practise the Salat through which the prophets, messengers, fuqra, sualiheen,
saints like Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Data Ali Hajweri, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Prophet Mohammad
all these spiritual dignitaries are present with you in Salat.
This Salat is taught by His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi.
It was for this Salat that Bulleh Shah said,
‘When I learnt the Salat of Ishq, I forgot the worship places’.
Because that Salat of Ishq is not performed in the worship places, it is performed in Bait ul Mamour.
‘When I learnt the Salat of Ishq, I forgot the worship places’.
He also said, ‘You abstain from sins but it makes no difference if you remain impure from within’.
'You abstain from sins but it makes no difference if you remain impure from within’.
Cleanse your heart with His love.
Until the light of His love enters your heart, the impurities within you will never be cleansed.
And then he said something else about impurity.
‘It was the Nafs that made us impure, for we were not impure originally’.
The Lower Self is impure and due to its presence in us we have also become impure,
otherwise, there was no impurity in us in the Primordial Times [when our souls were created].
The soul was pure so it is due to the Lower Self that we have become impure.
When you purify your Lower Self, you will no longer be impure.
When the impurities leave you, you are always pure.
You are an eternal worshipper once your Lower Self is purified.
You are an eternal worshipper once you have witnessed the divine splendour.
An eternal worshipper.
When you witness the divine splendour just once, you become an eternal worshipper.
What does eternal worshipper mean?
When you have witnessed the divine splendour, you will receive an invitation upon every Salat to go to Bait ul Mamour.
‘Let’s go beloved. Let’s go beyond the Moon’
and you will say, ‘I’m ready, let’s go!’
