Ihsan

Posted April 18th, 2008 by 'abd

Hadhrat Mawlana Wasiullah Shah reports from Qutub e ‘alam Hadhrat Mawlana Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi (may Allah have mercy on them) the reality of ihsan,

“Contemplating on the Absolute Divine Reality in one’s mind all the time, considering it to an actual presence, without any descriptions, and therefore being modestly conscious and accordingly being an obedient servant is the real goal. This is the ihsan. All other things are superfluous.”

    Asalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah

    Is by ‘Absolute Divine Reality’ meant Allah (SWT)? Jazak’Allah khair.

    wa alaykum as salam

    Yes. Its the translation of ‘hasti-e-mutlaq’.
