\n The fortune-teller was surprised to hear this and embraced Islam. \n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Tell me now what is in my fist? \n After deep thinking and struggling, he admitted he could not guess and said: \u2018I have lost my excellence after embracing Islam.

\n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws : Instead of saying, I have lost my excellence; say I have benefited from Islam.\u00a0 Your quality of denying desires and acting against attractions which had given you worldly benefits, will now benefit your Hereafter, and raise your Heavenly status, which I guarantee for you\u2019.

[6] \n One can, after exerting some efforts (performing a \u2018Chillah\u2019 (40 days) can attain some charismatic qualities, such as, to earn some fake respect by impressing some simple-minded people, to achieve a large followership and to accumulate enormous wealth but are these of any use for the Hereafter?\u00a0 Certainly not as per the above Hadith and will end up spoiling one\u2019s Hereafter as well as of all those who have followed him.

\n We first start with some of those concepts, which are based on the Holy Book, and have fascinated its recitors, some muslims without understanding the meanings of those Verses have gone astray by trying to gain \u2018higher spiritual levels\u2019 which were not meant to be reachable by the fallible ones .\u00a0 For example, in a well-narrated and famous myth about \u2018Bu Ali Shah Qalandar\u2019 [7] who after standing in water for 36 years asked from Allah -azwj to award him the status of Ali -asws (nouzobillah)\u2026..but he could only get the fragrance of Ali -asws (as a compromise), a total unrealistic and fabricated account, as anyone with even little \u2018Maurifat\u2019 of the Divine Status of Ali -asws will never dare to make such a request to Allah -azwj .\u00a0 Masomeen -asws are the First Noor which Allah -azwj Created from His -azwj Al-Noor whereas we were created from the clay.

Let\u2019s review and try to understand the meanings of the \u2018Al-Noor\u2019 which has been widely misinterpreted and a wrong message has been conveyed from one generation to the next, in forms of myths. \n The Noor [8] and the Hikema: \n There are certain phrases and words in Holy Quran; such as \u2018Noor\u2019 and \u2018Hikema\u2019, which have been misunderstood by many Muslims for centuries and have been the focus of \u2018mysticism\u2019 (spirituality).
