Tareeqa Wilayat:
The usual method of creating the love of Allah swt in QALB is Zikr and Fikr,though the azkar which are helpful for TAREEQ e wilayat might be different than the ones useful to salikeen of TAREEQ e Nabuwwat.The isme Mubarak 'ALLAH',which is isme Zat is a tajalli (Reflection) of the Zat in Alame Alfaz,when practiced (according to the methods prescribed by Sufia,weather jahri or sirri,weather recited alone or combined with Nafi Asbat or Asmae Sifati),with continuity,leads to the plantation of the meaning behind the Ism,in QALB of salik....which as is said earlier,is a tajalli of Zat,which is the most lateef,the most high and closest to the Zat.When this abstract Tajalli is firmly implanted in salik,s mind,and his mind becomes firmly concentrated on this tajalli and *all his perceptions are occupied with this tajalli.....this state is called FIKR.
When salik,s Batin becomes coloured with this tajalli,his Rooh becomes the final abode of it,which then experience an attraction towards Alame amr,which is it's place of origin.On the other hand,it's relation with physical body tries to keep it in it's limits,this affects the Astral body (nasimma,Roohe hewani,Roohe tabi) making it full of an uneasy turmoil and ecstatic state-----called Wajd.This state keeps increasing till the curtain of physical limitations explodes and is removed.
1.Tareeqa wilayat is closely associated with RIAZATE NAFS,like less eating,less sleep,less talk,and not socialising.
2.Similarly such Salikeen are affected in many ways by beauty in any form,like nice voice,pretty faces,poetry and stories full of love.
3.Also such Salikeen avoid heavy food,excessive sleep,excessive sexual involvement etc.
4.One factor which must be noted,that the objective of Sulooke wilayat per se is to remove the curtains of human restrictions and limitations,to obey any Law or rules per se is not in the nature of this kind of sulook.This does not mean that they like to be free of sharia too....for from it,their trade Mark is excessive indulgence in nawafil.what is meant here is that per se the goal is only to be free of restrictions to reach Allah swt.
5.Similarly such salikeen tries to keep away from civic life,hate to accept any responsibilities,even the necessary huqooq ul ibad,although they try to attend to such duties,but not with ease.It scatters their concentration,which is against their objective of abstract tawajjo ilallah.
6.One point,which differentiate them is their intense personal love of SHAIKH,not because he is a means to guide him to Allah,but because he loves his person.The salik of this path is attached to his SHAIKH with unusual intensity.
7.Such salikeen will try to keep their distance with any thing which requires strict adherence to rules,regulations or discipline.
8.There is a nisbat between Zahir and Batin of sharia,Salikeen of Rahe wilayat are usually unaware of it.(Pls refer to 'Hujjatullahel baligha' by shah waliullah ra).
Ultimately the intensity of Ishq brings them closer to Allah swt,their uneasy jazb is replaced by peace and sakina of 'Qurb' and 'Maiyyat'.They,then cross into the fields of FANA.
FANA here can be partially explained with an analogy:
"We put an iron rod into fire for a considerable amount of time,till the rod becomes hot and red.Obviously all the characteristics of fire apply to that rod,in a way you can say that the iron rod has become 'Fire' but it is stating the obvious that in effect it has not.It is still an iron rod which has absorbed fire to the extent that at that particular moment it can be described as fire.The reality of objects don,t change.
In short,if the Iron rod could speak,it would certainly have claimed to be made of fire,and would have forgotten it's separate existence for a while."
Similarly the nafs of salik is attracted by the jazb of Rahman,and the waves from the sea of 'Ahadiyat' drags him to the deep waters of marifa,and he becomes like what a hadeeth Qudsi says:" Kunto samahullazi yasmao bihi wa basara hullazi yubsiro bihi,wa yadahullati yabtisho biha".
What a great blessing this salik of Rahe wilayat receives for his efforts,beidhnillah,and what high station was destined for this piece of earth,
