Don't compare Saints with Prophets

Islam is the religion of nature which many anti Islamic minds don't believe.

People pointing fingers on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are mentally ill and psychologically poker people. Saints are truly very noble persons but their dimension is totally different from Prophets. Saints were purely there to develop the faith and achieve spiritual link with your Lord. Prophets are in fact God's chosen one to convey his divine message to the people. What we call saints now are the breed after the death of the Holy Prophet.

You mentioned Nizamuddin Aulya (R.A) and the conversation with the Ghost...first of all confirm that with genuine link or authentic source...secondly, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) never encouraged blocking your natural instincts. He provided guidelines to achieve happiness that too the way God endorsed. Marriage has no harm, but illegal sex is prohibited and condemned. The best way to achieve spiritual zenith is to follow Allah's commandments and save yourselves from sins.

Saints did achieve spiritual zenith and many of them had married, had children who later became their successors. Your limited and biased knowledge can only create confusion for your ownself. Why didn't you consult renowned Muslim Scholars or Muft or any Muslim Philosopher? You can get better answers for that which may well satisfy you.

It is my sincere advice that do not take the true, authentic and spiritually strong religion of Islam as a joke. May be your non seriousness will make you a big looser on the day of judgment.

Bye Bye
