Abstract
Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, the great mystic poet, thinker and pious man has enlightened the relation of man with Almighty Allah . Man has yearns to get close of Lord through sacrifice and devotion. He wants to get awareness through people, who are fully aware of reality. Shah Abdul Latif considers that five times prayers and fasting are Divine Commands, a God fearing man must follow these commands, but the main purpose of life is to seek love of Almighty Allah and man must peep into himself to know Almighty Allah, and it comes from poetry of this chapter ‘Sur Aasa’ Man must have love for his Lord. Shah Abdul Latif expresses his views in “Sur Asa” that Almighty Allah is omnipotent. He is omnipresent and amnipresent. He is very close to man, and man can feel his presence. Since Almighty Allah is the most merciful and kind, man should not forget such kind and merciful Master. Shah emphasizes this point that man should keep himself away from evil and vicious deeds and keep his soul clean and pure, to entrance spirituality. According to Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai secret of success is hidden in piety and man can achieve success in life hereafter by adopting piety, which means to lead life according to Divine commands. According to Shah Latif, the central point of Islam is oneness of God and it is for man that he should concentrate on Almighty Allah for his aspirations, wishes and hope. Shah conveys the message through the poetry of Sur Aasa that, “man should build his Character and moral values based on golden principles of Islam.”
