Bab-ul-Uloom-e-Ruhaniyya aur Miftah-as-Salasil As-Sufiyya
Rasoolullah ﷺ ne doosray hadees mein kaha: "Main Hikmat ka sheher hoon, aur Ali uska darwaza hai”, aur ek aur riwayat mein kaha: "Main Hikmat ka ghar hoon, aur Ali uska darwaza hai”【3】.
Yeh hikmat, jaise humare Shaykh, Shaykh Khalifa Muhammad Al-Kasnazani (qaddas Allah sirrah) kahta hai, wo ilm-e-ladunni hai jo directly Allah ki taraf se banday ke dil tak pohanchta hai. Yeh hikmat ilham ke zariye aati hai, aur iske zariye banday ke dil se zaban tak bechaini se nikalti hai, jo usay sahi waqt pe sahi shakhs ko de diya jata hai, jaise Allah ka farman hai: "Wo hikmat deta hai jise chahe, aur jo hikmat diya gaya wo bohot bara achaai hai, aur is se sirf unhi logon ko yaad rakha jata hai jo aqal walay hain”【4】.
Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ka maqam ilmi-e-batin mein
Is baat ko wazeh karte hue, Fayd al-Qadir ke musannif ne "Al-Jami’ al-Saghir” ke sharh mein kaha: "Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (Karam Allah Wajhahu) wo darwaza hai jahan se hikmat mein dakhil ho sakte hain, aur is martaba ka kya hi asar hai, is manqaba ka kya hi shanaas hai.”
Ek aur hadees mein kaha: "Ibn Mas’ud (RA) ne riwayat di ke mai Rasoolullah ﷺ ke paas tha aur unse Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ke baare mein poocha gaya, toh unhone kaha: {Hikmat ko das hisson mein taqseem kiya gaya, aur Ali ko nau hisson ka hissa diya gaya aur baqi logon ko ek hissa}”【5】.
Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) aur Tareeqay ke Wali
Sufi tareeqon ke logon ka iss baat par ittefaq hai ke Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ka maqam saree tareeqon mein roohani sanad se jura hua hai. Jaise Imam Junayd (qaddas Allah sirrah) ne is baat ko yeh kehkar tasfiyah kiya: "Ridwaan Allah ala Amir-ul-Mu’minin Ali, agar wo jangon mein masroof na hote toh hum is ilm ke mazeed gehraaiyon ko samajh lete, wo shakhs jo ilm-e-ladunni se nawaza gaya hai”【6】.
Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) aur Ilm-e-Ladunni
Sheikh Akbar Ibn Arabi ne apni kitab "Futuhat al-Makkiya” mein Sheikh Junayd Baghdadi (qaddas Allah sirrah) se riwayat ki: "Koi bhi shakhs haqiqat ke martabe tak nahi pahuch sakta jab tak ek hazaar siddiqi isay zindeeq nahi kehte”, isse Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ki roohani maqamat mein ilm ka izhaar hota hai.
Sufism aur Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ka Talluq
Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Tadfi ne riwayat ki ke unhone Rasoolullah ﷺ ko dekha aur unhone kaha: "O bacha, tum kyun nahi bol rahe ho?” Phir unhone usse kaha ke logon se baat karo. Jab usne hichkichahat mehsoos ki, Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) unke saamne aaye aur kaha: "Apna moun khol”, aur yeh baat Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ke roohani ilm ko samajhne ka zariya thi, jise usne kai Sufi aqtab ko ilham diya.
Sufism aur Roohani Wilayat
Al-Harali ne "Al-Luma” mein kaha ke Sufi tareeqay ki sanad Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) tak jati hai, jo ke A’la Arifin ka sardar hain, aur uske paas wo aqa’id aur asraar hain jo aur koi nahi keh sakta. Yeh haqeeqat Sheikh Akbar Ibn Arabi ne "Futuhat al-Makkiya” mein yeh kaha: "Agar koi aise ma’ani hain jo zaroori hain ke unhe mahsus shakal mein nazar aaye, toh woh bhi Imam Ali bin Abi Talib ka hai, duniya ka sabse bara arif.”【13】
Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) aur Uski Sufi Nazriyat
Bohot se Sufi imams ne Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) ke maqam ko Sufism mein tareef ki hai aur unhone is baat ko zabaan diya ke woh sabse pehle the jo ilm-e-haqiqat ke baare mein baat karte the. Sheikh Ahmad Zarrouk (RA) ne bhi is baat ki tasfiyah ki ke Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) Sufiyon ke Imam hain aur unke paas wo ilm-e-ladunni hai jo Allah ne unhe diya hai.
Conclusion
Akhir kar, yeh sabit hota hai ke Imam Ali (Karam Allah Wajhahu) sirf ek bahadur jangju nahi, balkay wo roohani wilayat ke sardar bhi hain, jo ilm-e-ladunni aur Sufism mein ummat ki rehnumai karte hain.
