IRFAN

About the Book

Abstract We in our current era observe the movement of masses in three dimensions, be it through a section of road, through airways or under a layer of water. Time, a fourth dimension, provides a conclusive evidence of traveling along three dimensions, and this fourth dimension always co-exists with any of the three dimensions, either traveling from the last moment (past) to the current moment (present) or from the current moment to the next coming moment (future). Our brain is a tool which helps us to comprehend the discoveries of science in these four dimensions, but a signal of error propagates in our body when we hear of a concept which does not exist in all these four dimensions. In our first response, we try to jump into a state of denial or refusal of such concepts and realities for some. This rhetoric gives birth to the exigency of exploring the unexplored dimensions of this universe. IRFAN (inner knowledge of self and GOD in accordance with Islamic Sufism), a beneficial compilation for its readers, outlines the theoretical concepts and personal experiences of Faqeer Noor Muhammad Sawari Qadri (R.A) that uncover the ways for the reader to introspect, search for the inner light of the soul, build connectivity with GOD, and practice renunciation towards materialism to walk on the un-travelled dimensions of this physical world. The author highlights the ways to identify the inner divine spark by focusing on the personal name of GOD . An example of spiritual failure or failure in a dimension which does not exist in the basic four dimensions is the wreckage of Titanic (a British liner), which to many is the failure of its massive frame. However, understanding of the parallel existence of physical and spiritual worlds for one could be developed and self-examined by reaching the photons in one’s soul.
