Dua (grace) is present in each religion but the philosophy
of dua is different. What is the relation of dua with determinism
and indeterminism? What is the relation of dua with human social
life? And what is the concept of dua in the poetry of Shah Latif?
This is the theme of this paper with special reference to Shah’s
poetry.
The concept of Dua is different from the common concept
of Dua in the world.
Shah never prayed for worldly material gains he prays Instead and stresses on the knowledge that is already known to
“Him”. The concept of Dua in mysticism is submissiveness and
humbleness. Due to this practice man saves himself from pride
and haughtiness and proves that he is incomplete and submissive.
According to Shah the philosophy of Dua comprises optimism,
and that one should never get disappointed about receiving the
grace of God, infact one should go on praying and consequently
He (God) will be kind upon the person. There are two schools of
thought in mysticism:
Pantheism (Wahadat-ul-Wajood)
Pane pantheism (Wahadat-ul-Shahood)
In pantheism there is no difference between God and Man.
But pride and haughtiness lead to dualism and hypocrisy.
Thus Dua means desire and submissiveness that harbour
in oneself and it also means to search for one’s own faults.
According to Pane pantheism the relation between Man
and God is just like a lord and his slave. As the man goes down
deep in the self negation before God so he will get nearness to his
Lord.
