Faqr is the knowledge of Divine vision and beholding Allah is the grandest reward for the one who treads this path. The term for its achiever is ‘Mystic’. He is the one who worships Allah while seeing Him as he has surpassed the initial stage of certainty which is through knowledge to the final level which is in fact truth.
Quotes of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen about Divine Vision are given below:
- Allah created mankind for the sole purpose of His recognition and to disclose both His beauty and majesty so that He is loved ardently.
- Allah Almighty can be seen through Ism-e-Allah Zaat.
- It is possible to behold Allah both in this world and the hereafter. Rather, it is the passion of Allah to be recognized which is not possible without His vision.
- The purpose of man’s creation is the recognition and gnosis of Allah and this recognition is in fact Divine vision. The benevolence of Divine vision is specific to the Mystics and Fakirs.
- The vision of Allah is the greatest of all inward stations. It is attained by the contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and the guidance of the perfect spiritual guide. However, this is not considered the ultimate station in the way of Faqr since there is duality in it as well. The extreme level of Faqr is that the seeker annihilates himself in the Divine Essence and becomes immortal with Him, only then he can be entitled as the Universal Divine Man.
- One who finds Allah, finds eternal success. Inner peace lies only in the Divine vision.
