546 Ā'ĪNA-E-KAMĀLĀT-E-ISLĀM―DĀFI‘UL-WASĀWIS It was revealed to me that when Allah desired that He should create Adam, He created the heavens and the earth in seven days and all that was needed in the heavens and the earth. At the end of the sixth day, he created Adam. This Divine practice kept repeating itself in people who preceded you and the ones who will succeed. Then, it was revealed to me that the creation which I witnessed in this vision is, in fact, an allusion to help from the heavens as well as the earth. Moreover, there was an allusion towards creating such circumstances which may help in getting this help. In the same manner, He creates such pious natures which are ever ready to join the company of righteous and pure souls. Then, it was revealed upon me that Allah addresses every pure nature from the heavens and says, 'Prepare to help My servant and reach him in haste!' I saw this vision during the Islamic month of Rabi'uth- Thani, 1309 AH. Blessed is Allah who is the Revealer of true revela- tion. By narrating this incident I do not mean what the followers of the unity of existence have written in their books, nor do I mean what the followers of human incarnation of the Divine believe in; rather, this incident is supported by a hadith of the Holy Prophet sas. Here the allusion is being made to the hadith of Bukhārī about the high ranks of nearness to God attained by the righteous servants of God by offering nawafil [voluntary Prayers]. ' O my dear ones! Now I want to narrate such hidden incidents which were disclosed to me and which may serve as Signs for seekers of truth. One of them is as follows: Allah witnessed that sons of my uncle and some individuals from the family of my mother and father were indulging in destructive practices and vices. These vices included abominable traditions, false doctrines, and heresy. God the Lord saw that they had become enslaved to their desires and addicted to sexual pleasures. They denied the existence of Allah and were of those who created disorder. Allah found them ignorant of the morals which make a man civilized. 1.
