Chapter 2: Friendship of the Supreme Progneer

 

To be friend of Supreme Progneer there are following four criterions.

1. From your hand & tongue other humans should be safe
2. Extreme Patience
3. Extreme Humbleness
4. Dzkir (Remembrance of God)

We will be following the order as described above in explaining each of these points and why they are essential.

Lets start the discussion with point one i.e. from your hands and tongue every human should be safe. No matter how many hardships you get, no matter how extreme the injustice could be; but from your hands and tongue other human should be safe. Your hands and tongue should get utilized for the benefit of others.

On the other hand show extreme patience; achieve a patience level that even the Supreme Progneer could not resist saying in the gathering of His angels,

"What a person he is?" I have sent him so many climates and still he is busy doing my Dzkir.”

Dzkir: a very special way of meditation; calling Supreme Progneer in heart all the time. Like,

and one of my favorite Dzkir (prayer),

“Oh! my Designer, Only You give the power to good deeds and only you give the strength to refrain from badness.”



Calling the Supreme Progneer with such beautiful names just like as if one fell in extreme love with someone and wants to be with him/her always, all the time. The Supreme Progneer says,

Remember Me I will remember you …

You will believe it or not, His Dzkir has lot of power. If you are following all these 4 criterions extremely you will see Him talking with you in your surroundings. Let me give you one example, how you can see Him talking with you. One day I was in my office, I was writing a email. Thinking about the spelling of a difficult word, within a second, one of my colleague came to me, gave me some documents. I flipped the first page and that word was on the first line. It’s just the one incident out of hundreds. Some call it coincident but I call it that’s how Supreme Progneer talks with His friends.


As its not possible or more precisely very difficult to say all the Praises/God’s Names mentioned above all the time. The way I do Dzkir is as follows. I take one per day. For example, I dedicate one day for the statement, ‘Thank You God’. I ‘try’ to say this statement as soon as I wake up in my heart. While doing tooth brush all the way up to my office, each step that I take, each breath I exhale and inhale, I try my very best to say this statement.

While in a meeting or writing something as soon as my mind gets free. I put my self back on track. This process goes until I reach at home, with repeating His praises in my heart. Next day, I take the next statement. I am not prefect but I try my very best and always pray and asks my Creator to indulge me in Your remembrance all the time. I hope you got the essence of what Dzkir is. As far as extreme humbleness is concern you must be asking yourself what is extreme level of humbleness?

And my response is when you meet anyone, imagine as if few moments ago you received a call from your doctor that you are suffering from terrible disease and you know that you will be dead within days. A richest man of the world who is about to die because of illness is poorer than the poorest but healthy man of the world. The same concept applies to education and beauty too. So one should be humble without having any proud in the heart because of these worldly things. In eyes of Supreme Progneer, the only thing that makes one man superior than other is the ‘deeds’.

You must be thinking at this moment; what's the benefit of doing such un-natural stuff like someone ruined your life and you are showing him/her extreme humbleness, patience and you are not doing any harm to him/her in return using your hands and tongue even with a good thought of just stopping him. Now I am going to tell you very important stuff; if God accepts you as a friend and if someone hurts you then its between God and him/her; you are out of the game. Just imagine, if for example, President level person (country, organization etc.) accepts you as his/her best friend and if someone hurts you; he/she will be in trouble.

All the prophets that God sent were having these qualities e.g. Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him), faced extreme hardships and brutality but at the end prayed for those who did it; said, "God forgive them they don't know". Similarly with Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him), angel Gabriel came to him and said, "By the order of God, if you say, I can minced this valley in between these mountains" and He (PBUH) responded back with a prayer,

"Oh! God forgive these people & guide them to righteousness".

This is the mental level only very few people can reach...
God says, "There are very few people who reaches a level in worship & deeds that I become their feet with they walk; I become their hand when they write and I become their tongue when they speak."

Oh my Lord,
Oh the only One who live so close to me,
Oh the only One who live in my heart,
Oh the only One who gives live,
Oh the only One who confers death,
Oh the only One who give power to do good deeds,
Oh the only One who gives strength to refrain from badness,

With deep inside me heart I ask immensely to forgive me and put me on the path of true glory for success here and after.

May God forgive us all. Ameen
