OF HADHRAT MAULANA ASHRAF ALI THAANWI (Rahmatullah Alayh)

1305. WHO ARE THE ULAMA-E-HAQQ?

Explaining who in the truest sense of the concept are the Ulama-e-Haqq (the True Ulama), Hakimul Ummat, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thaanwi (rahmatullah alayh) said:     “How can he (an Aalim) be of the Ahl-e-Haqq when his gaze is focused on others (besides Allah Ta’ala)? Walahoula wa la quwwata! It is utterly disgraceful that a man is initiated as a mureed (by a Shaikh) merely to increase his circle and strength. Haqq is such a power that if in the entire world there remains only one Man of the Haqq, and the whole world is filled with Ahl-e-Baatil (People of Falsehood), then the Aalim of Haqq views them all as beings devoid of reality. He understands and knows: ‘I can overwhelm them all (with the Haqq).’ If he (the Aalim of Haqq) lacks this degree of spiritual power, then, in fact, he is not among the Ahl-e-Haqq.”
