NAML

Sharing few paragraphs from the book; "Naml".

The Prophet's [SA] use to shepherd the cattle herd. But that was actually someone else doing all that.  - That's the difference between Kalam and mere story tellers.

Awwal Akhir Zahir Baatin or Beginning End Obvious Secret, is the Third Qura'nic Ayah from the Chapter Hadid. They are the 4 Worlds, a lot of Sufis don't know about. And are all equal to the person individually and collectively. Even performing Salah or a good deed in one of them affects all 4. If you can picture yourself praying somewhere it has to exist in the reel as well. Otherwise it won't be possible picturing the happening. Now it's up to you if you want to show yourself to others or pray quietly. And of-course all of that depends on the Permission or Ijazah from a recognised authority.

Shaykh Shahid Ullah Faridi says, in the "Inner Aspects òf Faith", If you don't have Permission your absolutely no one to teach Islam to anyone or any things. Permission is given to an individual after the Shaykh gets satisfied. It's like marrying your daughter to an accomplished Student. Because that's  the purpose they serve Secretly and Openly. 

The next level after the knowledge of Names is that there are no names at all and is close to the Far'd and Greater in Maqama.
