Shahrukh K

44:51. Indeed, those who protected themselves are in safety. 52. Among Paradises and springs! 53. Dressed in fine silk and brocade, facing one another. 54. Thus it is... We partnered them with hooris. What is the meaning of hoor ?

No.

Discussions, sharing of knowledge, intelligent invitation.... 16:125. Invite to the way of your Rabb with wisdom and good advice... And struggle with them in the best way... Indeed, HU, your Rabb, knows better who goes astray... And HU knows better who is guided!

Life is like watching a movie, you do not suffer because of hunger, nakedness, thirst and heat of the characters in the movie. But if somehow, you are connected to one of the character of the movie, you feel that you are him/her. Now you do not see the movie as a whole, only a part which is belong to that character. Character's success make you happy and failure sad. You believe that you are the doer, in reality you are doing nothing. You suffer because you think that you are someone. Allah gives Adam (you) words La ilaha illa Allah (I am not the body, but i am) so that you can return back to reality.

Allah through his power of manifestation and names present in Adam, projected the world and he asked all the angelic powers to serve Adam and body (projector) but Iblees refuse to serve Adam and the body as it is made of clay. This story indicates that there are angelic powers in the world to help Adam and Iblees is here to oppose him in this game called life. While Satan is always (still) tempting Adam (us) to eat from cursed tree, means making him desire and taking him/her away from the reality. Creating fear of pain and luring him to desire for pleasure. Divine powers serving Adam in this life are called angles and divine powers against Adam are Iblees. Though both powers belongs to Allah.

Allah has infinite names (attributes/qualities) but we know only few names of Allah. Because Allah taught Adam (or us) only those few names or in other words Adam consist of only those few attributes plus Satan. Names of Allah present in Adam not known to angels. Angels are consist of different set of names without Satan. We (Names of Allah) told Adam (rooh/consciousness) 20:118~119 “You will not (feel) hungry therein (for there is no biological – material body) nor naked! Indeed, you will neither be thirsty therein nor hot from the sun (due to not having a biological – material body)!” In the state of Paradise Adam knows "i am not the body" since he (Adam does not have any gender, maleness and femaleness only belongs to the body) was only the knower of the body, he was enjoying the world associated with the body as it happens, without any desire and fear. Hunger, nakedness, thirst and heat only belong to the body. But the satan ( idea i am the body ) present in the essence of Adam, tempt Adam to involve in his own world..... 120. Then Satan incited him, “O Adam, shall I inform you of the tree of immortality and of a possession that never deteriorates?” Allah warned Adam : do not listen satan (idea i am the body) 117. We (names of Allah) said, “O Adam, indeed this (Satan, the illusive idea that you are the body) is an enemy to you and your partner (your body)! Do not let it drive you out of Paradise (reduce you from being in the state of universal consciousness to corporeality; individual consciousness) lest you become one who suffers (in misery of being confined to the body and thus burns with the consequences of this limitation)!” Adam desired (touched the cursed tree), his desire triggered nafs (which was dormant/mutmaeen) through which he connect himself with the body. Now he and the body feels that they are naked, because now Adam is confined to the body and unable to realize that he is not the body. Now you have to attain same state of (dormant/ mutmaeen ) nafs to reach again the state of paradise.

What are your worst fears?

Body made you believe yourself to be what you are not. What is it, and can you be free of it? Before you go further you must accept, at least as a working theory, that you are not what you appear to be, that you are under the influence of satan. Then only will you have the urge and the patience to examine the symptoms and search for their common cause. All that a Prophet can tell you is: "My dear, you are quite mistaken about yourself. You are not the person you think yourself to be. Trust nobody, not even yourself. Search, find out, remove and reject every assumption till you reach the living waters and the rock of truth". Until you are free of the illusion, all your religions and sciences, prayers and devotion are of no use to you, for based on a mistake, they strengthen it. But if you stay with the idea that you are not the body nor the mind, but altogether beyond, your mind will grow in clarity, your desires -- in purity, your actions -- in charity and that inner distillation will take you to another world, a world of truth and fearless love. Resist your old habits of feeling and thinking; keep on telling yourself: No, not so, it cannot be so; I am not like this, I do not need it, I do not want it‟, and a day will surely come when the entire structure of error and despair will collapse and the ground will be free for a new life. After all, you must remember, that all your preoccupations with yourself are only in your waking hours and partly in your dreams; in sleep all is put aside and forgotten. It shows how little important is your waking life, even to yourself, that merely lying down and closing the eyes can end it. Each time you go to sleep you do so without the least certainty of waking up and yet you accept the risk

Hoor is not a woman and reward is for you. Real you is neither male nor female. Maleness and femaleness belong only to the body not to you. You are not the body.

You believe so because you have never questioned your belief that you are the body which, obviously, is born and dies. While alive, it attracts attention and fascinates so completely that rarely does one perceive one's real nature. It is like seeing the surface of the ocean and completely forgetting the immensity beneath. The world is but the surface of the mind and the mind is infinite. What we call thoughts are just ripples in the mind. When the mind is quiet it reflects reality. When it is motionless through and through, it dissolves and only reality remains. This reality is so concrete, so actual, so much more tangible than mind and matter, that this overwhelming actuality makes the world dreamlike, misty, irrelevant.

Patience is wisdom. Sabir (patient) : One whose nafs remain undisturbed amidst misery, who does not crave for pleasure, who is free from attachment, fear and anger is the one who is of steady mind. A patient man does not allow his nafs to harbour the material frailties of lust anger envy greed etc. If one persmits the nafs to brood over miseries, then the contemplation on divine ceases and the nafs is dragged down from the transcendental level. Similarly, if nafs crave external pleasure, it runs to the object of enjoyment, and is again diverted from divine contemplation. So a patient man of steady wisdom is one who does not allow the nafs to hanker for pleasure or lament for miseries. Further such a person does not permit nafs to succumb to the urges of fear and anger. In this way you will attain final destination.

13:22~24 They were Patient (in their current state), and sought the face (the paradisiacal state of existence in which the manifestations of the divine forces in one’s essential reality is experienced) of their Rabb, they performed salat and gave unrequitedly, secretly and openly from the life sustenance we disclosed to them... They nullify their wrongdoings with (following) good deeds... Theirs shall be the homeland of the future! the Paradises of Eden (a level of existence where one consciously experiences the forces of the Names in one’s essence)... They will enter there in unity (experiencing the same reality) with those who attain righteousness (amend themselves and live coherently) from among their parents, partners and offspring... And the angels will come to them from every gate (the forces required to live in that state of existence will become activated within them at every level)! 24. (They will say) “Assalamu alaikum (may the force pertaining to the Name Salam become activated within you) as a result of your Patience... How beautiful is the final homeland!” What is patience (Sabr) ?

Nothing dies. The body is just imagined. There is no such thing. You are like the man in the cinema house, laughing and crying with the picture, though knowing fully well that he is all the time in his seat and the picture is but the play of light. It is enough to shift attention from the screen to oneself to break the spell. When the (illusion of) body dies, the kind of life you live now -- succession of physical and mental events -- comes to an end. It can end even now --without waiting for the death of the body -- it is enough to shift attention to the Self and keep it there. All happens as if there is a mysterious power that creates and moves everything. Realise that you are not the mover, only the observer, and you will be at peace.

Ok. But Jannah i am talking about, where there is no veil between you and Allah.

No one.
