Revelations of the Unseen by Jilani
by HAZRAT SHAIKH MUHYUDDIN ABDUL QADIR GILANI
Translated by MAULANA AFTAB-UD-DIN AHMAD
Revelations of the Unseen
The book is evidently mystical, though not too mystical for an average intelligent man with a little introspection.
It seems that the world is too much taken up with the question of material existence to find any time for a study of this nature.
And yet the social and political upheavals all the world over, making the question of life and existence so uncertain, have, I believe, created a proper psychological background for the study of a book such as this.
This should not be misunderstood that I am suggesting or that Islam suggests an escapist attitude under such circumstances.
Islam never tries to create the escapist mentality nor does the present book encourage such a frame of mind.
We are, however, for a change in the mental outlook of man which will bring about an actual solution of the tangles confronting our species in this age.
It is not difficult to see that the lack of a higher vision of life has resulted in an over-emphasis on comparatively less important aspects of our worldly existence.
which fact in its turn has been the root cause of all our strifes. It is hoped that a perusal of books such as this will open the eyes of people to that higher vision and lessen the heat of ruinous competition in the field of material acquisition.
The Arabic text in my hand is the one which is to be found in an Urdu translation of the book entitled Futuh al-Ghaib Mutarjam , by Maulvi Sikandar Shah of Benares.
As this translator assures us in his introduction, he took great pains in securing the complete and correct text of the original, and yet the text which accompanies this translation is not free from mistakes, some of which are extremely disappointing.
One will understand what I mean if one examines carefully pages 46 to 49.
In spite of this drawback, the text may be regarded as fairly dependable and helpful in that it provides vowel points which are fairly accurate.
As for the Urdu translation itself, though rather free here and there, it undoubtedly shows the deep learning of the translator as well as his acquaintance with matters connected with Islamic spiritual science, otherwise known as tasawwuf
A few words about this science will, I hope, be of use to such of the readers as are not conversant with the traditions of
Islam.
The word “mysticism” which is generally used to indicate this aspect of Islam is a little misleading.
The English word has an elusive scientific atmosphere about it, whereas tasawwuf is a
regular science with its set laws and a full scheme in details.
It is based on palpable experiences which can be reproduced, like in any other
