يہ ہيں سب ايک ہي سالک کي جستجو کے مقام'وہ جس کي شان ميں آيا ہے 'علم الاسما

مقام فکر ہے پيمائش زمان و مکاںمقام ذکر ہے سبحان ربي الاعلي
These stops are for the pilgrim same, whose quest to respect has many claims to show his rank was brought to light, the verse ‘He taught him all the names’. The mystics like Rumi and Attar, for homage to God have won such fame; Avicenna, because of books he wrote has won a great renown and name. Mind can provide the ways and means that help in measuring Time and Space: Who bow to God and seek His Grace, enjoy the highest rank and place.
