The reality of the fasting from book Haft Maktubat by Khaja Moinuddin Chisti
“ Oh : Umar the real definition of the fasting is that man should keep closed his heart from the desire and wishes of the world and religion. Because religious desires are like the desire of Houries and heaven. These cause the veil in between man and his creator. When this available then there will be not available meeting of the slave with his creator. And the desires of the world are the desire for status and wealth as well as sensual desires and all are like Shirk (polytheism).
The following things which will break the real fasting.
1.Be worried and be anxious about the unrelated other than Allah.
2.The fear of the day of the judgment.
3.The lust of the heaven.
4.Be worried about the other world.
The real fasting, which will be right when the man should remove everything from his heart except Allah. It means he should not have knowledge of the unrelated and he should take away each and every kind of desire and each and every kind of fear from his heart.
The prophet of Allah has said, “ Except, the sight of Allah, he does not desire and demand anything.” The breaking of the real fasting is only the sight of the Allah.
The prophet of Allah has said, “ The beginning of the real fasting is started with a sight of Allah and also it will end with the sight of the Allah.”
Oh : Umar keeps well remembering in your mind that the start and end of about the real fasting. It should know that with which thing the fasting is being kept. And with which thing it is being broken.
So it should be clear to know that the beginning of the fasting is that the man should able to get the knowledge of Allah graded. And the end of the fasting is that the men will have sight of Allah on the day of judgement.”
The last prophet of Allah has said, “ There are two pleasures to the fasting keepers and one is at the time of the fast breaking and the other is that he will get sight of Allah.”
“ Oh : Umar in the fasting of the general, persons there is first is fast and after its ending there is the breaking of the fasting is there. But in the real fasting, there is first is breaking and after its ending the fasting is there. See Mazub (one lost in divine meditation) Salik (a mystic and it refers to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and is also known as a Salik (Arabic: سَالِك) and who are old age persons and they used to keep fasting for always. And at, any time they will not break their fasting. Because in the real fasting, there is no condition of fast breaking and that sometimes keep fasting and break the fasting. As they used to keep fasting for always.
“ Oh : Umar all people used to keep fasting in which they used to keep aloof of the eating and drinking as well doing intercourse with their spouses and this is not called real fasting but is it is called the worldly fasting. The meaning of mortality is that they do not get the secrets of Allah. And they are involved in the adornment of the manifest and they do not know about the reality in this matter. But in such worldly fasting, there is no leave out of the unrelated and all dangerous of sensual and human have become obstacles and which are found on this matter. The precept and practice of such fasting persons belong to the un-related. So such fasting it means it belongs to the world, which will never become the real fasting as well as godly fasting. From this worldly and fasting of manifestation what one will get except that the man while keeping such fasting of manifestation which will be enable him to know starvation and thirst of poor and pauper people and also he will be able to know to help the poor and meek people. So with this fasting of the manifestation what gain one can get so be imagine in this matter.?
The prophet of Allah said that “ The man without a spiritual master is without religion and the person without religion is away from the knowledge of Allah. And one who is away from the knowledge of Allah then he does not belong to the right group and one who does not belong to a right group then for him there will no sympathetic friend and the comforter is available to him. And those who do not have friends and comforter then for them there will not avail any friend for them.”
The prophet of Allah said, “ My holy men are under my palace. I know myself their position and status in this matter. And no other person could not able to know it.”
“ Oh : Umar, Salikan (mystics) persons without Majzub (one lost in divine meditation) without getting the company of the perfect spiritual master then they could not able to get the knowledge of Allah. Also, without the correction of the innermost, they could not able to reach the heavenly abode. They will wonder at the world of the physical universe and the angelic world. These people belong to the category of the people of lust and they will be in demand of the fame for themselves.”
The prophet has said “ Oh : Umar, those learned persons and Islamic jurists and Salikin (mystics) without Majzub (one lost in divine meditation) and they were not seeking of the favour in the company of the perfect spiritual master then they are unaware of emotions of the secrets of Allah. They will run behind the adornment of the world as well as for the lust of sensual and also wander here and there for this purpose. But they wear the robe and turban and find the dress of the great Sufi masters. But in reality their internal condition will be involved in the greed of the world and in sensual desires and wishes and their purpose and aim in this dress of Fakirs is not for the sake of the worship of God. But actually they are in demand of wealth and status in the world. So what is the value of their Islamic creed, prayer and fasting in this matter.?
One who will enter into the category of the confirmed Salik (mystic) persons, then he will reach the position of the completion of the knowledge of Allah.
For him, it has become compulsory obligated that he should destroy his personality and Khudi (ego) entirely. Those who will not destroy their ego, whether they will be available in the dress of Sufi persons, then they could not put their step in the destination of intimate knowledge of God. The man who reached the destination of the knowledge of Allah at that time when he will destroy his personality and ego entirely and then in his every breath he should only demand the personality of Allah.
