Kashf al-Mahjub Introduction

 IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MERCIFUL, THE COMPASSIONATE. O Lord, bestow on us mercy from Thyself, and provide for us a right course of action ! Praise be to God, who hath revealed the secrets of His kingdom to His Saints, and hath disclosed the mysteries of His power to His intimates, and hath shed the blood of Lovers with the sword of His glory, and hath let the hearts of Gnostics taste the joy of His communion ! He it is that bringeth dead hearts to life by the radiance of the perception of His eternity and His majesty, and reanimates them with the comforting spirit of knowledge by divulging His Names. And peace be upon His Apostle, Muhammad, and his family and his companions and his wives !

The Story of Prophet al-Yasa'

       Allah (SWT) has mentioned him along with other prophets in soorat al-An'am, saying: "And Isma'eel, and al-Yasa', and Yoonus and Loot, and each of them We preferred above the humankind and jinn." (Qur'an 6: 86) Allah, the Exalted, has further mentioned him in Soorat Sad: "And remember Isma'eel, al-Yasa', and Dhul-Kifl; all are among the best." (Qur'an 38: 48)     Muhammad ibn Is-haq has reported al-Hasan al-Basri as saying: al-Yasa' came after Ilyas. He stayed among his people for as long as Allah willed, inviting them to the way of Allah and following the Sharia revealed to Ilyas (as), until his death.

No one is able to know how much blessings there are except Allah and His Messenger (s). Whoever recites surat al-Fatiha, with the intention of sharing in these tajallis, will attain a high position and a great rank. And whoever recites without this intention, gets general Divine Favors only. This surah possesses innumerable and limitless stations (maqamat) in the Sight of Allah, Who is Powerful and Sublime. He will enter the Circle of Security in the Presence of Allah Almighty and Exalted, and he will r
