Eelaaf P K Aung (Paperback)

Paperback. This book tells the allegorical journey of a young crown prince raised under the guidance of his family-his grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt-each of whom imparts lessons blending Islamic faith, Sufi philosophy and natural science. The prince's early life of comfort is disrupted when he begins to experience travel, hardship and separation, leading him to reflect on courage, responsibility and the nature of truth.Central to the story is the concept of *Qalab* (the mould/heart), explored through vivid metaphors: the pulsation of the heart, the flight of birds, the invention of the wheel, the embryo's formation and the crawl of a snake. These examples illustrate that existence is sustained by agitation, continuity, strength and coherence. The heart's fourteen stages of pulsation are aligned with the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his progeny, symbolising that divine order and human life are inseparable.Through nightly discourses, Quranic references and mystical poetry, the prince learns about *Maraj*-both physical ascent and spiritual elevation-linked to love for the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). His grandmother introduces him to the Quran's teachings on kinship, while his uncle teaches him *Dhyan* (focus) and *Negah Buland* (towering vision). Together, they prepare him to be a leader who harmonises wisdom, justice and service.The narrative culminates in a reflection on humanity as Allah's eighteenth-thousandth creation, fashioned as *Ashraf-al-Makhluqat* (the noblest creation). Endowed with intellect, empathy and the ability to innovate, humankind carries the divine trust to safeguard other beings and sustain coherence in the universe.The book weaves allegory, science and spirituality into a philosophical exploration of the self, the heart and the purpose of life. It calls the reader to embrace self-knowledge, unity with creation, and alignment with divine truth.
