Faqr literally means indigence; usually taken for poverty, pauperism, destitution and the like. In Islam 'Faqr' is the way or course that removes all the veils between Allah and man, hence bestowing him with His Vision (Deedar) and Union (Visal). Indeed 'Faqr' is the soul of true Islam. Modern scholars and occidentals, being strangers to this way of our great sufi saints and pious predecessors, have diverted people at large to superficial values and acts. Hence they have forgotten their connection with Allah and soul, and have been entangled into the rituals and prayers solely. Today Muslims are as stranger to the word 'Faqr' and its reality as the non-Muslims are. Even though our Holy Prophet Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa'alihi Wasallam declared Faqr as his pride and attributed Faqr especially to his Holy Self. He Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa'alihi Wasallam said:
Meaning: Faqr is my pride and Faqr is from me.
