This from Bahoo for Guidance
Allah says in the Holy Quran:
Meaning: And those who believe truly, love Allah intensely. (Al-Bakra-165)
Man loves his several relatives and things, for example, he loves Allah and the Holy Prophet Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa'alihi Wasallam, he loves his parents, wife, children, sisters and brothers, friends, home, land, property, city, the tribe, kith and kin, business etc. The love which is so intense and crazy that it dominates all the other loves is called Ishq (an ardent love). Ishq turns all other loves into ashes and overpowers them. As the Holy Prophet says "Your faith is not complete until I am not endear to you more than your lives, wives, children, house and business and everything else" (Bukhari and Muslim). Allah considers this passionate love for Him an attribute of the true believers and it is in the very nature of the human soul.
The Zaat (Essence) of Allah was secret and hidden, then an intense passion to be recognized aroused in the Zaat (Essence), this desire was revealed with such severity that the respected sufies (mystics) interpreted it, as Ishq. In the same passion of intense love, Allah created "Noor-e-Ahmadi" (Light of the Prophet) from His own Noor (Light). Then souls of the entire creation were created from the Noor-e-Ahmadi, as, it is the sacred saying of the Holy Prophet Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa'alihi Wasallam that "I am from the Light of Allah and the entire creation is from mine".
Sultan-ul-Arifeen, Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo States:
Get to know, when Allah, the One, intended to manifest Himself in multiplicity, getting out of the chamber of solitude of Oneness, he graced the worlds with the warmth of His Love by purifying the Manifestations of His Perfect and illuminous Beauty, with which both the realms started burning like a moth over His Flaming Beauty, on this Allah concealed himself with the veil of 'meem' and appeared as the sacred self of Ahmad Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa'alihi Wasallam. (Risala Roohi Sharif)
This statement implies that when Ishq (Allah) adorned His court, first of all, He revealed Noor-e-Mohammadi from His own Zaat (Essence), then He created the souls of the whole creation and this is the Haqeeqat-e-Mohammadiya (the Reality of the Holy Prophet Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa'alihi Wasallam), for whose revelation this universe is created. As Iqbal says:
