To teach drawing to the students a pa per known
as graph paper is used in schools as the base f or the drawings. This paper is graphed
with small squares of equal size. Drawing teacl1ers, ta king these squares as
basic units, teach how to draw the pictures of objects, animals and persons. Teachers
demonstrate how many squares would form the head of a person, how many squares
would help to construct a nose and how many would be used in sketching a face
or neck. They establish the constructional proportionality of the various
organs by using an appropriate measured scale which helps the students in
drawing the pictures conveniently. To say, the line of the graph are basis of
pictures or in other words orderly arrangement of squares of the graph forms
the pictures. In the same way these lines of Nasma, too, are the basis of all
the material bodies. Forms and figures of the tripartite are constructed by the
multiplication and division of these lines. According to the Law of the
Preserved Scripturum, these lines or the colorless rays are actually tl1e
movements of different magnitudes. The more their accumulation, the more solid
senses will be composed. Concentration of the same lines establishes the norms
and forms of colors and attraction. And, movements and rotations of these very
lines produce the Interval (Period). On one hand, concentration of these lines
constructs Space and on tl1e other hand rotation same lines creates Time.
This Law
of the Lines, according to Sufism, is called Absorption of the Nasma. That is, Nasma
adopts the form and figure. of a feasible thing according to its requirements
and physical demands. Fea ible, in Sufism is that thing which in its last stage
or after its completion can be sighted by the mater1al eyes. The material form
wl1ich is found in the species of the Tripartite is called the Embodiment. The
basic forms produced by tl1ese lines prior to the formation of embodiment are
called 'Reality' (Tahaqqaq). This form is also known as Illustrative Form. This
form, in fact, is a simple form.
According to the Law of the Preserved
Scripturum that form and shape of Nasma which cannot be seen through the
material eye is called the Simple Form, reality or the Illustrative Form and
that which is visible to the pl1ysical seeing eye is called the Compounded
form, Embodiment or the Body. When tl1e Simple Form attempts

Alshaikh Khwaja
Shamsuddin Azeemi, Chief Editor of the monthly Roohani Digest, the renowned
spiritual scholar, founder of the chain of Muraqba Halls the world over has had
the honour of learning the spiritual sciences from his spiritual mentor, His
Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, the sage of this age. In order to teach him
the spiritual sciences Qalander Baba Auliya made Alshaikh Azeemi to pen down
the words that he used to narrate. Alshaikh Azeemi being a devoted disciple not
only noted the contents but also did his best to understand what he was taught.
The eventual out come of his dedicated work took the form of the ‘Loh-o-Qalum’,
the first ever book that comprises the whole syllabus of the spiritual science.
Who else was more suitable to explain the contents of this document but
Alshaikh Azeemi, the very able student of Qalander Baba Auliya. Dissemination
of that knowledge, which is the legacy of prophets and had reached him in
disciplic succession, has become an obsession for Alshaikh Azeemi because, according
to him, this knowledge is the only elixir and the antidote for the ailing
humanity in present times.
