| In the Hadith Literature, we have read it where the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said "FAQR IS MY PRIDE AND FAQR IS FROM ME". As observed by Sidi Muhiyidden Abdulqadir al-Jilani, may Allah be Merciful to him, in his book, "Sir'rul-Asrar":-
"Faqr does not mean poverty as is usually understood; rather it means spiritual Faqr which means to depend on none except Allah and to abdicate every pleasure and joy from heart except the pleasure of being close to Allah. When a person gains this status, then this is called Fana-Fillah (annihilation in Allah) where nobody exists within his being except the only Entity, Allah." | |
