The Speech of the Aashiq

.....................................................................................................................

Nevertheless, returning to the company of Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi (Rahmatullah ‘alaih)….

He continued his exposition, describing the true lover of Allah Ta’ala: “…He speaks the word of Allah as if Allah Ta’ala speaks through his mouth…”

The Aashiq of Allah receives within his heart, the special Tajalli of Allah Ta’ala.

Allah Ta’ala says in Surah Noor :

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth…”
And Allah says :

“…Allah guides to His Light whom He wills…”
[Surah Noor 24 : 35]

Allah Ta’ala’s attribute of ‘Haadi’ is focussed on the Aashiq of Allah Ta’ala. With the Fadhl (Grace) of Allah, the Aashiq of Allah is attracted to and drawn towards Allah Ta’ala.

Allah Ta’ala states in the Qur`aan Sharief :

“…Allah draws towards Him whom He wills, and guides unto Himself who turns to Him .”
[Surah Ash-Shuura 42 : 13]

Consequently, the Aashiq of Allah is granted a distinguished measure of Hidayat (Guidance) and Ma’rifat (Recognition) from the Light of Allah. His heart becomes luminous and radiant with the same.

His heart is thus granted the ability to absorb, understand and know Haq.

When he practically implements the ‘Haq’ (The teachings of the Qur`aan and Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) ), in his life, then this guidance, known as ‘Taufeeq’, increases. In his earnest and sincere striving, the recipient of this exclusive Divine guidance and aid, progresses at an exceptional pace in the spiritual world, which knows no limits and which has no boundaries.

“And Allah increases in guidance those who are guided (who possess insight and comprehension…)”
[Surah Maryam 19 : 76]

The heart of the lover of Allah has its connection with the Ocean of Divine Knowledge. This knowledge is then channelled into the heart and gushes forth via the faculty of speech.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) had mentioned that Allah Ta’ala causes the fountains of knowledge and wisdom to spring forth from the heart of a sincere servant; the manifestation of which is found in his speech.

Just as the eye betrays the condition of the heart, in the same way, so too does the tongue. The speech of one who is an Aashiq of Allah has a noor which compliments and accompanies it. This in turn kindles and lights up the love of Allah in the hearts of listeners.

The Aarifeen are the fish
In the ocean of Divine Majesty.
Their connection with Divine Majesty
Has taught them ‘sorcery’.
Their speech, like sorcery,
Effectively imbues
The Love and Bounty of Allah
Into hearts.

On the other hand, the speech of a faasiq (sinful one) has a darkness that is distinctive and characteristic of a heart veiled with the darkness of sin.
