Allah
Says:
“There occurs no change and pause in my Sunnah.”
Allah has ordered to maintain the image of good
or bad and to make distinction between good and bad through the prophets. All
the prophets, by following the orders of Allah, have told human beings that the
only way of salvation is to follow the orders of Allah. As Rasul-Allah (SAW) is
the last messenger of God and Din has been completed. That is why, to continue
the Sunnah of Allah, the group of Auliya-i-Allah (friends of God), the heirs of
Rasul. Allah (S.A.W) have managed to continue the consistency of teachings and
commands of Rasul-Allah (S.A.W). Aulia-i-Allah (friends of God), men and women
have accomplished this obligation and this series will continue till
resurrection.
Aulia-i-Allah preached in India, Pakistan,
Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Africa, Iran, Arab China and in every country,
served the creature of Allah and invited to believe in the Oneness of Allah
according to the customs of the age. History proves if Sheikh Muhayyo-ud-dinAbudl
Qadir Jilani, Khwaja Hasan Bassri, Hazart Daata Ghanj Baksh, Sheikh Mueen-ud
din Chishti Ajmeri, Hazart Bahud-ud-din Zakariya, Bahaul Haq Nakshband Laal
Shahbaz Qalandar, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Qlandar Baba Saints and other pious
people (Sufia) had not cultivated Islam, there would have been no such great strength
of Muslims in the world. The Sufis scarified their body, soul and assiduity to
serve the role of vicegerancy and heredity of Rasul Allah (S.A.W).
Allah and Sufis know undoubtedly that no body
can do anything except Allah. Whatever man does, he does according to the will and
commands given to him by Allah. Allah says:
"May servant gets close to me through
Nawafil, sees me, listens to me and talks to me".
It means that in this way the servant becomes
the follower, of Allah in his actions and conduct.
There are nearly two hundred successions in the
world who lived in the boundary of Shariat and Sunnah, educated about
self-awareness, formulas of captivating universe and Prophet like thinking.
In the spiritual schools established by these
successions, a devotee is trained to find himself surrounded by Allah. The
devotee loves Allah, does what Allah likes not because of fear or threat but
because of the love of Allah to please Him. He avoids all that displeases Allah
believing that Allah is his advocate, guard and creator.
The devotee tries to search Allah through
Sala'at, prayers and meditation. The goal of life of the devotee is to
communicate with Allah.
It is through assiduity on the lessons of
successions and through the association this act becomes his belief. 'I have
come to Allah and have to go back to Him'. To serve creature and forgiveness
becomes the goal of his life.
There are many successions except the well
known successions in the subcontinent who teach the spiritual guidance and
spiritual knowledge.

The known number of the succession is said to
be 200.
Syed Abdul Qadir Jilani, Imam-e Qadria
Succession, a great spiritual leader got direct favor from our lord Hazur
(A.S.W). He was born in a small town Gillani in 470 hijri. His name is Abdul
Qadir and Mohyuddin is his surname.
The succession Qadria is related with his name
Abdul Qadir. Our Lord Imam Hussain of Ameer-ul Momenen Ali son of Abi Talib is
his predecessor.
The chain of spiritual predecessors of Hazrat
Sheikh 'Abdul Qadir Jilani starts with Hamad Ilyas and Abu Saeed Mubarak Hazrat
Hassan Basri, Hazart Ali and ends on our Lord Hazur (S.A.W).
Apart from going through the stage of austerity
and prayers and difficulties and hardships, it also happened that Sheikh Abu
Saeed Mubarak enclosed him in a cell early in the morning and let him out the
next day after Noon prayer for some time, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani protested,
got angry and questioned about his imprisonment. But when the mentor asked
Abdul Qadir to go inside the room saying that time to stay outside is elapsed,
he went into the room silently. He did not protest. The austerity continued
till three years continuously.
The incidents related to austerity and divine
workshop of Hazrat Abu Bakar Shibli and Imam Ghzali are the same.
When governor ofBagdad, Abu Bakar Shebli
requested Hazrat Junaid Bagdadi, the commander of Sufies to be a part of the
group of the mystics. Hazart Junaid said, 'Will you qualify the demands of
sufi'ism?' Abu Bakar Shibli said, 'I am ready for it'. Hazart Junaid Bagdadi
said, 'As you have been a governor of Bagdad and have inculcated the pride of
being governor, you can not learn sufi'ism until this pride leaves. And the
first lesson to leave this pride is that you will have to beg in the streets of
Bagdad and later the people of Bagdad found Shibli begging in the streets of Bagdad.
Imam Ghazali was the unique person of his age.
The great scholars got advantage from his disciplines. Suddenly he thought to
observe the system of monastery to see what these people teach. He involved in
that search for seven years. He travelled a long distance for this reason until
got disappointed. Some one asked have you met Abu Bakar?
Imam Ghazali said 'I conclude that these are
the imaginary things which the religious mendicants have made known about
themselves'. Then he went on a journey to meet Hazarat Abu Bakar Shibli. When
he started to leave, the cost of his clothes, horse and a saddle was a thousand
'Ashrafi'. The man of Sovereignty Imam Ghazali visited Abu Bakar Shibli after
having a long journey who was sewing in a mosque 'gudri'. Imam Ghazali stood at
the back of Hazrat Abu Bakar Shibli. Hazrat Abu Bakar Shibli without looking
back said,
"Ghazali you have arrived., . you have
wasted a lot of your time. Listen to me carefully! Knowledge comes first and
practice comes later in Shariat. Practice comes first and knowledge later in
manner. If you can sustain, stay with me otherwise go back"
Imam Ghazali waited for a minute and said 'I
will stay with you'. Hazrat Abu Bakar Shibli Said, 'go and stand in the
opposite corner'. Imain Ghazali did so. After some time, Abu Bakar Shibli
called and took him his home after greetings.
After three years intense austerity, Imam
Ghazali when arrived Bagdad, the whole city came out to welcome him. When
people saw him in neat ordinary dress, get puzzled and said,
'Imam what did you get out of luxurious life'
Imam Ghazali said,
"I Swear God! If had not get such an
opportunity and the vanity of being a great scholar had not vanished in me, my
life had been distorted".
The recitation of 'Drud Shrif is devised in
Qadria Succession, Zikar-e-Khafi and Zikar-e-Jali are done inabundance. Hazrat
Sheikh Mohiyd-din Abdul Qadir Jilani has exposed hidden secrets of worldly
rules. He has presented the method of using the rules of nature and suggested
the way to understand these rules where science has not reached yet.
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani told that the
existence of the earth and sky is fixed with that light which is feeded by the
'Noor of Allah. If the mind of mankind goes away from matter and is fixed on
that light. Man will be able to understand that man is awarded with the
grandeur spiritual abilities with whose use man cannot make only the things
spread on earth his submission but also can utilize the inside forces and waves
according to his will. The whole universe becomes a dot before him. At this
point, man is not dependent of material sources. The sources bow before him.
Our lost Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani is appointed as Mumassil and assist the Holy
Prophet (P.B.U.H.).
Men and women have relation with the great
saint all the time in the affairs of administration of this world.
The
status of the great saint in the court of Hazur (S.A.W) is like this that Hazur
(S.A.S.W) has not ever rejected his request. The reason is that the great saint
is well acquainted with the temperament of Hazur (S.A.W). He does not say a
word which is against the nature and temperament of Hazur (S.A.W). It is not
possible to cover all the miracles of our lord.
In a limited time three miracles with
scientific logics are a present for the readers.
Aman came to Hazrat (R.A) and Said '"O',
Sheikh I wish to have a son,'
Sheikh said,
"I have prayed to Allah for your
son". A daughter was born instead
of a son. He took the daughter and came to see Hazrat.
Sheikh Said,
"Wrap the child in a cloth and took it
home and see what is revealed. He went home and found the boy instead of the
girl. The logic of this miracle is given as:
The Quran says:
"And we created everything in pairs."
According to 'equation', every individual is a
combination of the two layers. The apparent payer overpowers and the one layer
that is over powered, is hidden. A woman is also a combination of two sides
similarly the man....The apparent side in a woman is featured with fair sex and
the hidden side is out of sight. Similarly, the apparent side of man is visible
in his features and the hidden side is not visible. It can be explained as the
visible side of a man as a man is his apparent side; same case is with the
woman. Equation is like this that the hidden side, woman the opposite side of
the apparent man is stuck with him and with the apparent side of women, her
opposite hidden side, 1uan is stuck with her. The incidents of change of sex
happen because of the reason that the change in hidden side occurs in the way
that the opposite hidden side woman in a man overpowers. As a result, change
in_ sex of a man and woman occurs.
As men of perception and supernatural power
know these rules, so they can do change in the creative formula. The great
saint Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani has the knowledge of the creative laws
sustained in the universe. It is through the supernatural powers that he
overpowered the hidden side man in a girl and she became a boy.
One day Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani passed
by a Mohalah, a part of a town. There a Christian and a Muslim were engrossed
in a quarrel. He asked:
"why are you quarreling" the Muslim
said:
"He says, 'Hazrat Isa (A.S) is superior to
Hazrat Muhammad Rasul-Allah (S.A.W).
And I say that our messenger (S.A.W) is the
most excellent' Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani asked the Christian,
"With which logics you prefer Hazrat Isa
(A.S) over Hazrat Muhammad Rasul-Allah (S.A.W)?"
The Christian said,
"Hazrat Isa made the dead ones
alive." The great Saint (R.A) Said:
"I am not a messenger of Allah but a
servant of the messenger (S.A.W). IfI make alive the dead one, will you come to
believe Hazrat Muhammad(S.A.W)"
· · The Christian Said:
"No doubt, I will". After that Hazrat
Abdul Qadir Jilani Said.., .. 'show me any old grave'.
The Christian
took Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani to an old graveyard and pointing towards an old
grave said:
"Make the dead one of this alive." Hazrat
Ghoas Pak (R.A) Said:
"The person in grave was a musician in the
world. If you wish, he will come out from the grave in a state of singing"
The Christian said:-
"Yes I wish this"
Hazrat Sheikh (R.A) paid attention of the grave
and said:
"Stand up with the will of Allah".
The grave exploded and the dead one came out of the grave in state of singing
and the Christian became a Muslim. Seeing the miracles of Hazrat Sheikh, the
Christian became a Muslim.
The logic of this miracle is that the man, whom
we call a man, is a puppet, made up of the skeleton of flesh. The status of
this puppet continues until sprit lives inside the puppet. We do not call that
an alive man, if sprit goes out.
Allah Says:
"We made man from the burnt soil and blow
a sprit in him spirit in the will of Allah".
Allah has defined the will of (The lord Allah)
in Surah Yasin as: "His will is this that when he intends to do something,
says, 'be' and it is done".
Its equation would be, ... Man is a puppet; a
poppet is a space, ., . There is a spirit in space, ... Spirit is the will of
the Lord. And the will is this that when he intends to do something. He says,
"be': and that thing is prosecuted. Allah has awarded the knowledge of
spirit and creative formulae to Hazrat Sheikh Mohayud-din Abdul Qadir Jilani when
Hazrat Sheikh (RA), according to the formulae of lsrar-o-Ramuz-Eilahia",
said. 'Stand up!' with the will of Allah, the dead one cam out of the grave.
Once a Wali (a holy man) lost his possession.
As a result, people started calling him an apostate. Innumerable holy saints
saw his name in the list of thieves. The man came to see the holy saint
(Piran-e-Pir Dastagir (R.A) in intense suspension and disappointment and
expressed his feelings in state of weeping. Hazrat Ghoas Pak (R.A) prayed for
him. There came a voice from Allah.
"I have charged him in your care. Do as
you want". He (R.A)
asked him to wash his head and his name was
washed away from the list of unfortunate ones.
The logic of this miracle is this:
This inherited knowledge and the authority was
shifted from Hazrat (A.S.A) to Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. These
disciplines and authority are awarded from Allah to those about whom Allah
says:
"I keep my servant as a friend and I
become his ear, eye and
tongue, then he listens and speaks through me
and handles things through me".
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani is the master of
Hidden knowledge
(Ilam-e-Ladunni).
When he prayed to Allah, his name entered into
the list of holy spirits from that of the thieves.
In the beginning of Rabius-sani 861a, Sheikh
Abdul Qadir Jillani got ill and on 9 Rabio-us-Sani, died in the age of 90 years
and 7 months. During illness, he advised his son not to expect anything except
from Allah, perform prayers and be pious, do not be non believer in of Allah
and do not trust anyone but Allah.
In chishtia succession, while reciting kalma
shahdat, 'Ilallah is given stress. Members of the succession while pronouncing
Allah, shake the upper part of the head and the body. The feelings of ecstacy
overpower them at the time of hearing. Hazrat Mamshad Dinv1ari (R.A) is the
Imam of Chishtia saccession and this succession wide spread through Hazrat
Muaeed-ud-din chishti Ajmeri Khawaja Garib Nawaz and became acceptable.
Hazrat Mueen-ud-Din Chishti Ajmeri, Garib Nawaz
was born in Sanjar, the province of Sestan Iran. His date of birth is 1141.
Sultan Sanjar, the ruler of Saljonia family inhabited the city in the eleventh
century Isvi. The name of the father of Khwaja Garib Nawaz is Syed
Ghaous-ud-din and name of his mother wasMah-e-Nur.
When Hzrat Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz of thirteen
years old, the fenders of Hasan Bin Sabah attacked on Sanyar and destroyed
it.... The renown scholars and the were holy person Killed one by one the
father ofkhwaja Garib Nawaz shifted to Nishapur in khrasan with the whole
family. Health of our lord Ghyas-ud Din was badly affected due to hardships
during the journey. He died within two years of bad health and of critical
circumstances. And his mother Mahe-Noor also died after one year. Khwaja Garib
Nawaz started to remain silent most of the time due to continuous mishaps and
grieves.
One day a dervish, Ibrahim Qandoze came, Khwaja
Mueen-ud din Chishti offered him to sit under shadow. He put out a piece of
the dregs of mustard seed from his bag, chewed it with his teeth and gave it to
Khwaja. He ate the piece without hesitation. In the age of seventeen, he became
pupil of Maulana Hassan ud-din Bukhari, a religious scholar of Samar Qand. He
learned the disciplines of Tafseer, Hadith and Fiqah in the age of 20, got
skill in Statistics, Astronomy and Medicine.
Hazrat Khwaja Mamshad Dawari (R.A) sent his
pupil Hazrat Abdul Ishaq to the states of Middle East. A large number of fire
worshippers resided in these states.
The leader of the succession, Hazrat Mamshad
Dinwari awarded permission and Khaliph of the succession at the time he left
named that succession as Chishtia. The world Chistia attracted the attention of
fire worshippers towards themselves. The knowledge of Hazrat Mamshad Dinwari
was of great support in the preaching of Islam. Innumerable fire worshippers
accept Islam with the struggle of Chistia saints. Because the fire worshipers
were well acquainted with the word 'Chisti', that is why, they did not felt
these saints as strangers to them.
The Saints of Chistia succession made people
close to them through services, moral behavior and hospitality and spread the
light of Islam to them. In the age of 18 years old, Khwaja Mueen-ud-din Chishti
came to visit Khwaja Usman llarooni, a saint of Chishtia succession Khwaja
Usman Harooni gave him responsibility to supply water in his onastery after
Bait.
Days changed into months and months into years.
Khwaja used to serve in this way for nearly 22 years. When Knwaja Mueen ud-din
was of 40 years old, one day Hazrat Khwaja Usman Harooni called him and asked
"what is your name?"
Khwaja replied sir; name of this servant is
Mueen-ud-din. Mueen-ud-din Chisti writes in his composition "Anees-ul
Arwah. The spiritual mentor said, 'perform salat of 2 rakat'. I performed. Then
he said, 'sit in front of Qibla'. I sat. He ordered to recite Surah Bakra, I
recited. He asked to recite darud sharif
21
times. I recited. Then the spiritual mentor stood and clutched my hand and
while facing at the sky said, 'come, let you meet the Lord'. Then said, 'look
at the sky'. I looked af the sky. He asked to what extent you see. I replied, I
see till Tahat-us-Sara. Then he asked to recite Sura Ikhlas. I recited. He,
then, asked to look at the sky. I looked at the sky he asked, to what extent
you see now.
I replied, 'till Hijab-e-Azmat'. He asked to
close eyes. I closed my eyes. He asked to open. I opened. Then by showing me
two fingers, he asked 'what do you see?' I replied, 'I can see 18 thosand
scholars'. Then he ordered to pick up a brick placed in front of me....I picked
up and found handsome amount of dinar, ..... he asked to divide these into the
poor, ..... I divided the dinars. Khwaja Garib Nawaz Says:
'In the end, the spiritual mentor made me close
to his breast, kissed my head and eyes and said, I gave you in the way of God
and went busy in the world of wonder'.
Hazrat Khwage Garib Nawaz (R.A) after his
meeting with the spiritual mentor, made his journey to Haram Shrif passing
through different cities and countries. On the way, he met Khawaja Bakhtiar
Kaki (R.A) in the city of Asfahan. He requested for Bait.
Khawaga Garib Nawaz (R.A) accepted his request.
Both of them reached Makkah Muazma and performed Haij. Them he visited Madnia
Munaware, he remained busy in continuous meditation and observation. One day he
was honored with the visit of Hazrat Nabi Karim (S.A.W).
Rasul-Allah (S.A.W) said:
"O' Mueen-ud-din 'you are any assistant to
my 'din'. I awarded you with the rule of India. Infidelity and darkness is
spread over there. Go to Ajmer, infidelity and darkness will be removed with
your _presence" and Islam will spread over there."
On this prediction by the prophet (PBUH),
reading of ecstasy over powered Khwaja Garib Nawaz. He did not know about
Ajmer. "What type of country is Ajmer?', 'how will I arrive there?', and
'which way should I adopt for the journey'. He slept while thinking about it.
Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) gave him information about Ajmer.
He was shown the fort and mountains around
Ajmer. In the some dream, Rasul Allah (S.A.W) bestowed him with a pomegranate
of Jannat' and let him go to the journey.
He started urgently getting ready to travel. In
1189, he reached Bagdad from Madina. After staying for some time, he reached
Lahore through the way of Afghanistan and involved busy in meditation on the
tomb of Hazrat Syed Ali Hajweri (K.A) for forty days.
He came from Lahore to Multan. Hazrat Khwaja,
stayed for nearly fine years in Multan. He learnt Sanskrit and other local
languages in Multan. He studied the history of India, did analysis of its
culture and deeply observed the religion and beliefs. He received regular
education of tone and melody to understand the religious value of music in
Hindus. He learnt to play the music. Then he moved towards Ajmer. At that time,
the ruler of Ajmer was Prithvi Raj.
Khwaja Garib Nawaz stayed in a green land with his
friends. But the rulers of the area did not allow him to stay. He said the area
is specific for the camels of Raja. Khwaja Garib Nawaz said,
"Let the camels sit". After that he
selected a place beside Ana Sagar.
In the evening, the camels sat in the field.
But the next day, the camels kept sitting. They were made to stand up after a
great struggle. But the camels did not stand up. The sergeant informed the
officers about the incident they also tried but the camels did not stand up.
Finally the matter was discussed to Prithvi Raj. He was also surprised. When he
came to know that a Muslim passed by from there, selected the place for their
stay, Raja ordered the sergeants to ask for forgiveness from the pious men. The
sergeant came to Hazrat Khwaja Garib Nawaz and asked for forgiveness.
Khwaja Garib Nawaz Smiled and forgave him by
shaking his neck showing kind attitude. The sergeant reached that place and
found the camels standing there. The Pandit of the temple, when looked at the
miracles of khwaja garib Nawaz, got impressed. Amongst the Pandit and
pious men who were passionate to search for the sigh as Shadi Dev and Raje Pal
accepted Islam.
The word Ajmer, is made up of 'Aja' _ 'mer'
'Aja' means the sun and 'mer' means the mountain.
Once a hermit came to Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz
(RA). Through contemplation, he had reached to a pedestal where the vision of a
person broadens as a mirror and a confronting fellow seems as clearly as a
picture on TV screen.
The hermit contemplated and saw that the whole
body of Khwaja Sahab is enlightened but there is a black spot on the heart.
When the hermit told Khwaja Sahab about his contemplation, he said you are
true.
On hearing this, hermit was amazed and lost in
the serious thoughts that this black spot does not suit such a divine spirit
that is as bright as moon. And he said, can my powers erase this spot?
Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz (RA) said, "YES"
if you wish, this blackness can be washed away.
Hermit said with wet eyes and trembling lips.
"My
life is a tribute to you" Khwaja Sahab said:
If you believe in Allah's Prophet Hazrat
Muhammad (SAW), your black spot will be no more. Hermit could not get it. But
as he had washed away the density of soil inside himself, so he started
believing on the Prophethood of Allah's friend Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Khwaja
Sahab said, "Peep into inner self through the eye of soul". Hermit
saw and found that the enlightened heart was free of black spot. Hermit humbly
requested to Khwaja Ghareeb Nwaz (RA) with tied hands. Me Lord "please
unveil this unusual thing". Khwaja Ajmeri (RA) said, "That
enlightened man on whose heart you have seen a black spot, was you. But in
spite of such a great power, you could not get the metaphysical knowledge. And
that knowledge is this that the heart of a person is like a mirror and that
person can see its reflection in the mirror of others. That was not your belief
on the Prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). That's why there was the black
spot on your heart. And if once you are gone through the Muslims confessi n of
Faith (Kalma), your reflection was enlightened in my mirror.
The study of History shows that the shrines of
the Holy Persons have been the centre of Islamic struggle. These shrines were
the universities of Fear of God, Service of Humanity, Faith in Destiny and
Metaphysical knowledge. In these shrines, the students were given such an
atmosphere and the environment that their minds were convinced for the
Purification of Inside and the Civilization of Self-Desire.
Hazrat Baba Farid Ganj Shakr was the centre for
the acquisition of knowledge. Hazrat Baba Nizam-ud-Din Aulia (RA) raised this
knowledge with its elegance and organized struggle to its climax. For over a
period of fifty years, these shrines were the centre for command and
instruction. People from all over the world kept on coming in groups. And being the regular attendant in his
service, they went back with the love of God in their heart and the passion to
spread the Faith of Islam to the people. These shrines were always open for.be
rich and the' poor, urban and the rural, old and the young and the children.
Homage was made common by Hazrat Nizam-ud-Din
Aulia (RA). When Right Seekers repented in front of him, presented
him a religious dress and reverend him.
Hazrat Nizam-ud-Din Aulia (RA) sent his majestic
caliph Burhan-ud-Din with his four hundred corrirades to Daccan for education.
The caliph Burhan-ud-Din with his comrades benefited Daccan with Islamic,
metaphysical and religious knowledge.
The Chain of Sehrwardia is affiliated with
Sheikh Abdul Qahir Sehrwrdi. Hazrat Sheikh Shahab-ud-Din Sehrwrdi (RA) and
Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Multani (RA) is the descendant from the same chain.
In this chain, after three years of crusade, spiritual mentor sees that how
much power the heart has got and what is the status of the purification of
inside? After the internal purgation and pure and beatific vision of heart,
Grace is converted into them. In the Chain of Sehrwardia, the words "Allah
Hu" are repeated time and again by holding the breath. God is praised
evidently and secretly.
Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Multani (RA) was
Qureshi. His ancestor was Qamal-ud-Din Ali Shah. He came to Khwarzam from Mecca
and settled in Multan. The name of his son was Wajihuddin Muhammad. He was
married to the daughter of Maulana Hisam-ud-Din Tirmazi. Sheikh Bahauddin
Zakariya is the son ofMaulana Wajihuddin.
Bahauddin Zakariya went for a pilgrimage to
Mecca at the age of 18years. Then he went from Mecca to Madina. When he was of
twenty one years, his father died. After this, he learnt Quran by heart and
went to Kharasaan. He acquired the Grace from the scholars of manifest and the
scholars of Inwarduess for seven years. For days and nights in the vicinity of Hazrat
Muhammad (SAW), he remained occupied with austerity, crusading and meditation.
He arrived in Bait-ul-Mukaddas filled with the splendor of Madina. And from
there he came to the holy city Baghdad. And there he remained a regular
attendant in the service of respect Hazrat Shahab-ud-Din Sehrwrdi (R.A). He remained
engaged in the praises or God with firmness and interest.
Spiritual mentor gifted a patched garment of
caliphate. Shajra e-Tariqiat (the succession) starts with Sheikh Shahab-ud-Din
Sehrwrdi and moving from Khwaja Habib Ajmi, Hazrat Imam Hasan, Hazrat Imain Ali
and ends with Hazrat Muhammad (SAW).
On the command of spiritual mentor Hazrat
Bahauddin Zakariya Multani became resolute to travel for Multan. In this travel
his brother, Sheikh Jalal-ud-Din Tabrezi (a spiritual guide) was also with him.
When both the reverend reached Baghdad, Hazrat Sheikh Jalal-ud-Din Tabrezi went
for the pilgrimage of Hazrat Sheikh Farid-ud-dinAttar (RA), he asked
"which mendicant in Baghdad is seeking for rights?" Jalal-ud Din remained
silent. When Bahauddin got to know about this thing, he asked Sheikh
Jalal-ud-Din "why did not you call out the name of your spiritual
mentor?" He replied that the dignity of Sheikh Farid-ud-Din impressed my
heart so deeply that I forgot Sheikh Shahab-ud-Din Sehrwrdi. On hearing this,
Sheikh Bahauddin was very displeased.
On the way both
of them separated. Sheikh Bahauddin Zakariya came to Multan and Jalal-ud-Din
Tabrezi went to Khrasaan. And after a short period, Jalal-ud-Din Tabrezi went
to Delhi.
At that time, the emperor Shams-ud-Din Altamash
was in reign. He loved those who had love and reverence for Allah. When the emperor
got to know about the arrival of Hazrat Jalal-ud-Din Tabrezi, the emperor came
to receive Hazrat Jalal-ud-Din Tabrezi on the threshold of the city and gave
him reverence by getting down the horse. At that time Najam-ud-Din Sughra was
appointed on the post of The Honorables of Islam. When he saw such a great
reverence of the emperor and extreme honor of HazratJalal-ud-Din Tabrezi, there
emerged the feelings of envy in him.
Because of malice and hatred, he started
conspiring and falsely accused Hazrat Jalal-ud-Din Tabrezi. He involved a
renowned prostitute named Gohar in this conspiracy and presented his case in
the court of emperor Altamash. During the proceedings of the case, Gohar told
the truth that this conspiracy was made by The Honorables of Islam Najam-ud-Din
Sughra. Sheikh Bahauddin Zakariya says that people have made wrong conceptions
about saints that they don't have anything else except for homage, dedications
and offerings to the saints. If the spiritual leaders will be labeled as
deserting the world, then nobody will come to them for the acquisition of
spiritual thoughts and the solution of social problems. The apparent
worshippers don't know that less eating, less sleeping, less speaking and not
wasting the time in unnecessary interests...., ..is essential for the purgation
of soul. We keep fast. Nobody can say that Islam is the religion of starvation.
The benefits of fasting are the evidences that less eating, less speaking and
less sleeping are the functions of the growth of soul.
The most prominent and renowned figure of the
"Sehrwardia" succession, Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Multani has got
his distinct way of preaching. Due to this unified, spiritual movement,
thousands of people in the areas of Sindh, Multan and Balochistan succeeded in
developing relationship with Allah and countless men and women entered into the
boundary of islam.
Hazrat Zakarya Multani had established an
elevated and most dignified educational institute. In this institute-. teachers
were appointed with very handsome salaries. Besides students, there were very
good hostels for the teachers as well. The policy of the institute was to
arouse the feelings of love for God and his proximity. After getting education,
if any person requested to perform his/her duties in his/her desired area; the
settlements were made regarding their training of the language and culture of
that particular region. For this purpose, he/she had been given special
training for two more years.
After two years, the teachers were provided
with suitable funds, so that a teacher would start some business and perform
their responsibility of preaching with some business.
Hazrat Zakarya Multani used to advise teachers;
"Do sell goods with less profit. Do follow the practices of Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH). Do not sell defective goods. Do deal your customer open
heartedly. Unless you win the credence of people, do not present the teachings
of islam"
In guise of traders, these pious preachers of
religion of Allah reached China, Philippine, Java, Sumatra and other areas.
These men used to present cultural and other exhibitions in the big cities.
Due to this professional honesty, cleanliness
and good behavior, everybody got impressed by them. People started loving them
by getting impressed with their elevated character. And these godly people used
to inform the secrets of spiritual serenity in a very heart touching way that
people by embracing Islam became familiar with the proximity of God. Millions
of Muslims in the islands of far-east were honored to embrace Islam after these
pious saints.
In 7 AD, the trained followers and nobels of
Sheikh Shahabuddin Sehrwardi established institutes all over the world for the
exposure of religion and spiritual preaching. Sheikh Bahaudin Zakarya sent
delegations in different regions. His trained followers enlightened the regions
from Kashmir to Ras kumari and from Gawadar to Bangol with the light of Islam.
Hazrat Zakariya Multani used to manage the
training sessions of people belonging to different professions respectively.
This spiritual movement was based on scientific and modern standards. Nature
has gifted Hazrat Zakariya Multani a mind set of prosperity. He cultivated
forests and arranged to dig wells, constructed canals and paid full heed to
agriculture. He always remained worried about the prosperity of populace. For
him, serving the God's creature was like the asset for the judgment day.
He served masses well and public loved him. It
was his love and good behavior that people used to attend the divine
contemplations in folks. People adopted honesty and sincerity as the standards
of life for the discernment of Allah (S.W) and His prophet (PBUH). The
congregations of Darud-Sharif and commemoration were held for corroboration of
soul. People used to device all possible ways to avoid the horrible torment of
selfishness and self conceit.
Once Sheikh Zakariya Multani was going on
carriage that he
heard a voice.
O dwellers of Multan! fulfill my need otherwise
I will destroy the city. Pious man stopped his coach and waited for a while and
asked the bearers to move ahead......
On hearing the call second time he asked to
rest the coach in the ground after some time said, .... leave and pursue the
way...... on hearing third time he asked the bearers to bring down the carriage
from the shoulders and said after coming out of the coach., ·.. ·
Satisfy the need of this bagger as soon as
possible. People asked
why did you stop the coach twice and didn't
utter anything but third time you asked to satisfy the need of this bagger as
soon as possible? What is the philosophy behind this act?
He said when the bagger put question for the
first time I noticed his nobleness. I didn't find anything. Second time I gazed
at the nobleness of his spiritual mentor (Murshid), there again I found nothing
special. His third call touched my heart.
When I paid attention then I saw that the
devout and pious grand father of this bagger had privileged to stand in front
of prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
One day Hazrat Shiekh Bahauddin Zakariya
Multani was busy in praying in his closet that a resplendent noble came and
gave a letter to Hazrat Sadar-uddin. He presented this letter before his
respected father. Respected father said, say my greeting to that saint and
request him to come after half an hour. Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya returned the
trusted deposits and asked his son to recite Darud Sharif. It was heard
"Dost badast Dost Raseed". After hearing this Hazrat Sadar-ud-din ran
towards closet and saw that his father had died. After burial his son thought
about the saint to whom his father asked to come after half an hour. His son
searched for the letter and he found it under the pillow. It was written
" Allah (S. W) has called you in His
court. What's an order for
me?
angel Izrael".
In this succession the spiritual mentor
"Murad" addresses his followers by making him sit in front of him and
the heart of follower started giving beats with the name of God. These people
secretly pray God and sit in the contemplation by keeping their eyes closed. In
this succession the spiritual mentor does not sit away from his followers
rather he is also involved in the circle. It was started with Hazrat Abu-Bakar
Siddique and is associated with the name of Naqshband. Hazrat Bahauddin was
born on 4 Muharum 718 A.Din Bulkh and died on 20th Rabi-ul- awal at night.
Before the birth of Khawaja Bahauddin Naqshband
whenever the hermit Khawaja Muhammad Samasi Baba used to pass through near his
home he said I smell the fragrance of a pious man from here. One day the beams
of knowledge will arise from the house made up of bricks and mud.The grand
father of Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband put him in the lap of Khawaja Muhammad
Samasi Baba. After taking that infant in his lap he said he is my descendant.
He will be the preacher of age.
Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband said when I have got
the sense of perception then my grand father sent me to Samasi baba.Being
affectionate Baba Samasi favored me. I prayed two Rakkat in gratitude. I was
redundant in prayer and unconsciously prayed "O God bless me the courage
to take up my trust".
In the morning when I presented before Baba
Samasi he said dear son this is the way to pray "O God whatever is your
consent bless this convivial man to be consistent" and then said when
Allah makes some body his friend then he also blesses him with the courage to
take that responsibility.
One day, after having meals, he gave me some
loaves of bread. I thought that I had had many meals to my heart content. Now
what would I do with so many loaves of bread. After a while, he asked me to
accompany him to his friend's home. On our way, I had the same thought in my
mind. What would I do with so many loaves of bread? He (hazrat) heeded to me
and said, "The heart should be guarded so that no suspicion might enter
it." When we reached that friends home, he was very pleased to see him and
offered him some milk. When he (hazrat) asked him about his meals, he disclosed
the truth that he had not taken his meals that day. He (hazrat) said to me to
offer him those loaves of bread. This incidence added to his honour, status and
regard in my eyes.
He (hazrat) said one day, "when a teacher
teaches his students, teacher wants him to accept p.is teachings"
Khawja Mohammad baba Samasi took khawja
Naqshband as his bearer. Although he learnt the spiritual tanents from Amir
Kallal yet actually he was Awaisi and he invoked inspiration from Khawaja Abdul
Khaliq Najadwani.
He said that he visited three holy shrines of
Nija one night. He saw a lainp burning at every Shrine. Although it was full of
oil but it was being trimmed in order to set the flame higher. But as I saw the
flame at Baba Smasi's Tomb constantly burning higher, I started gazing it.
I saw that the wall towards kibla cracked and
there appeared a large throne. I saw a green curtain hanging. Near by there was
a group of people who recognized Baba Smasi. I realized that he was one of the
men who had passed away from this world. One of them told methat there had
appeared khawja, abdul Khaliq Najadwani on the throne. It was the group of his
Caliphs. He pointed at every Caliph and told his name one by one. "he is
Khawja Siddique. He is Kawja Oauliya Kallal. He he is Khawja Devgry. This man
is Kawja Mohammad-al- Khairi and he is Kawja Ali Rasti." As he wanted to
introduce Khawja Muhammad Baba Smasi, he said, "He is ur spiritual guide
and he has placed the cap on ur head and he has blessed you with karamat"
at that time, he asked me to listen attentively that Hazrat Khawja, the saint,
will tell you such things as would lead you in this world.
I requested to bid Hazrat Khawja and to see his
holy face. All of a sudden, a curtain rose up and saw the lighted face of the
saint. I bade him. He also bade me and also taught me things related to the balance
and extreme of behavior.
He said that there was guidance and a hint in
the lights shown to me that I had the capability to learn spiritual knowledge
and there was a prediction for me that God will teach me secrets but lamp of
capability must be trimmed in order to increase the light of the lamp.
The second time, he told me to adopt the ways
of commands and prohibitions, to obey the commands of religion, to always avoid
the prohibitions, to practice Hadith of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) and to always
keep seeking and exploring the saying and doings of the Holy Prophet(PBUH) and
his Caliphs (may God be pleased with them). As a proof of the truth of my
condition or observation, I would go to such and such place at dawn tomorrow
and I would do such and such things.
They introduced me "Now you intend to go
and visit Sayyad Amir Kallal (may God Bless Him). Following their instructions,
when I reached him he was very kind to me. He guided me to meditate and
secretly involved me in the meditation of commands and prohibitions.
A saint named Sheikh Qutub-ud-Din said,
"In my early age, Hazrat Khawja asked me to go to such and such pigeon
house and buy the pigeons. One of those pigeons was very beautiful. I did not
hand it into the kitchen. After the meal was prepared, it was distributed among
the guests but I was denied the food". The saint said, "You had
already had your share of an alive pigeon."
There is Hazrat Bagi Billah's shrine in Dehli,
Bharat. Imam Rabbani Mujadad Alf Sani was the Caliph of Hazrat Bagi Billah.
Before
the birth of Hazrat Surhindi Mujadad Alf Sani, his father saw in a dream that the
whole universe as surrounded by darkness. The monkey, the bear and the pig were
killing the people. The holy light flashed from his breast and there appeared a
throne with a saint seated on it, from it. The cruel. faithless and non
believers were being killed in front of him. Hazrat Mujadad Alf sani's father
told his dream to Hazrat Shah Kamal Kaithal (May God bless him) who gave him
prediction that he would be blessed with a son, who will purify the religion of
God.
The name of Mujadad was Ahmad and he was called
Badarud din. He linked with the twenty seventh clan of the Caliph of the
Muslims, Hazrat Umer Farooq (May God be pleased with him). He fought bravely
against Atheism. He guided thousands of Muslims. He successfully fought against
atheist activities of the powerful king of his time, Akbar.
Akbar had spread atheism to the extent that
instead of Muhammad is the prophet of God in Kalma e Tayyeba, instead he gave
the order that 'Akbar is the Caliph of God'.
Hazrat Mujadad Alf Sani not only fought
courageously against these circumstances but he also bore many
tortures/sufferings of imprisonment for rooting them out. So the religion of
God established by Akbar and Jahangir was abolished. Hazrat Mujadad succeded by
the grace of God.
When the Islamic world was destroyed by the
changaze Khani strom. The cities were deserted. The people were murdered and minarets
were built with their cut off heads, out of eight lakhs inhabitants of Baghdad,
four lakhs were massacred mercilessly.
The stones of books of knowledge and
scholarship were burnt to ashes. The great religious scholars were disappointed
of the future of Islam. Even at this time also, the Sufis tracked this monster.
They trained the enemies of islam in the way
that they themselves became the torch bearers of Islam.
A saint of Qadria order, went to Tagodar khan,
the son of Halaku khan to invite him for Islam. Tagodar Khan was returning from
hunting as he saw a piousman at the gate of his palace. He asked him by the way
of joke, "O pious man! Are the hair in your beard better or the tail of
dog?" this foolish and humiliating question did not annoy the saint. He
replied with fortitude and seriousness, "If I am able to pleas my Lord
with my devotion and loyalty, the hair in my beard is better. Otherwise, your
dogs tail with which it obeys you and helps you in hunting, is better.
Tagodar Khan was so impressed by this
unexpected and ego free replies that he kept the saint as his guest. He was so
overcome by dignity, morality and affection that he embraced Islam secretly.
But with the fear of opposition from his people Tagodar Khan let him go. Before
his death, the pious man advised his son to go to Tagodar Khan and remind him
of his promise. When his son arrived Tagodar Khan and told him the reason of
his visit, Tagodar Khan said, "All the leaders have agreed on accepting
Islam.But such and leaders is not ready. If he becomes Muslim, the problem will
be solved".
When the young master talked to that chief
(sardar), he said my whole life is spent in battle field. I do not understand
philosophical logics. My demand is that you have a contest with my wrestler; if
you defeat him I will become muslim.
The young master was very lean, thin and
physically weak. Tagodaar Khan tried to reject this demand but Darvesh;s son
accepted Sardar:s challenge. Place and date for the competition were announced.
On the selected day, a huge crowd gathered to watch this strange competition.
On one side was a weak, thin and lean skeletal body and on the other side was a
strong and muscular wrestler.
Tagodaar tried to avoid the competition but
Darvesh was persistent for it. When the both wrestlers came in the arena, Darves's
son slapped his rival with full strength The wrestler could not bear that blow.
His nose started bleeding. He fainted and fell down on the ground. Sardar came
out in the ground and kissed darvesh's hand and according to the promise,
announced himself muslim. Tagodaar also announced his faith and named himself
Ahmad. Halaku Khan's cousin also accepted Islam through Sheikh Shamsuddin
Bakhori (R.A).
The history of Qustuntuniya is an immortal
chapter of Islam. Hazrat Shamsuddin was spiritual mentor of Sultan Mohammad
(R.A). It was due to his instigations and tidings that Sultan Mohammad
conquered Qustuntuniya. As we turned out the pages of history, a carvan of
mystics and spiritual personalities comes in front of us, which seems sincerely
busy in spreading Islam
The Grand chain is consisted upon two spiritual
parts of feelings and behavior. It does not have any traditional mentorship or
follower ship, specific dress code or any particular style. Just the sincere
fondness of the desire for spiritualism keeps the seeker in link with the
chain. Followers are called with the surname of Friends in this series.
Instead of hard devotions, Lents and fights,
recitations and prayers are easier for education. The axis of education is
worship in cave Hira. Meditation and service of humankind are said to be its
foundations.
The Grand series was established in 1960with
the consent of Sayyadna Hazoor (A.S.W)
Leader of the grand chain Hazrat Qalandar Baba
Oliya was born in 1898 in Khorja town,district Boland Bharat. Parents gave him
name Mohammad Azeem.Father's name was Babbi uddin Mehdi Sherdil and mother's
name was Sayyeda Bibi. In poetry his pen name is Barkhiya.
He died on 2Th January 1979. His tomb is in a
public graveyard in Shadmaan Town, North Naazim Abad Karachi.
Sayyedna Hazoor (A.S.W) used to call him Ukhra.
Among the creative world and general and specific he was used to be called as
Qalandar Baba Oliya(r.H)His full name is Hassan Akhra Mohammad Azeem Barkhiya
famously known as qalandar BabaOliya.
Hazrat imam Hassan (R.H) was the pious son of
Askari family being posted on the superior place of hermitship, he is famous by
the name of Qalander Baba Oliya (R.A) among the heavenly and earthly masses.
Hazrat Qalandar Oliya (R.A) is the president of
the creating system. Four creating departments are working in this and in other
various worlds.
1) Law 2) Sciences
3) Heavenly
bodies 4)Arrangement Systems
Heads of these departments are usually four
religious devotees. Devotee of Nizamat post is called President. The chief/president has
the Veto Power. Devotee Qalandar Baba Oliya (R.A) is the president at this
time.
When Allah Almighty grants a person the status
of Hermitship he then grants him the power to be free from the detention of
time and place and according to the creating affairs every existing being is
under his command but these pious people of Allah have no concern with
hypocrisy, temptation, avarice or need. So when people present their problem to
them, they listen to them suggest remedies as well because Nature has chosen them
for this purpose. These are the pious and sacred people about whom Allah
Almighty says:
"I make my people my friends and become
their ears, eyes and tongue and then they speak through me and perceive things
through me."
Qalandar Baba Oliya got Quranic and primary
education from town's school, studied in high school in the “Buland Shehar” and
got higher education from Ali Garh Muslim University.
Baba Tajuddin Nagpori (R.A) is grandfather of
Hazrat Baba Oliya. He remained under Baba Taj din for nine years. During
education many times it happened that he was overcome by the feelings of
immersion and absorption. So often he used to remain silent and sometimes talk
abruptly (used to lose connection in conversation). But this condition did not
last for much time.
To maintain means of earnings he worked in
magazines and journals as organizer and journalist. He also used to do
correction, arrangements and compilation of poetry of different poets.
After the establishment of Pakistan he came to
Karachi and was appointed as the sub editor of Urdu Dawn. After that he worked
for a long time in magazine Naqaad. He worked in organization of many
magazines. He also wrote many famous series of stories.
In 1952, Qutab Arshaad became a disciple of Hazrat
Abu Al faiz Qalandar Ali Saherwardi (R.A). Hazrat Abul Faiz Qalander Ali
Seharwardi blew thrice on his forehead at 3' o clock in night. In the first
blow the world of spirits/souls was revealed, the second blow revealed the
world of angels and magnificence and the third blow the sublime heaven was
observed.
After completing Qutab Irshaad education within
three weeks,
Hazrat Abu AlFaez Qalandar Ali Saherwardi
bestowed him Caliphship (Khalafat).
After that Hazrat Sheikh Najam Uddin Kubra
(R.A) started the spiritual education of Qalandar Baba Oliya (R.A) and this
process continued till the time where he was presented in court of Allah
Almighty with the help and support of Sayyadna Hazoor (A.S.W) and got the
knowledge of secrets and mysteries.
He had simplicity and grace in his personality
since child hood. It was his virtue to take others' pains and difficulties as
his own and to share the grieves of others more than their expectations.
Many super natural happenings occurred by
Hazoor Qalandar Baba Aulia which is published in 'Tazkira Qalandar Baba Aulia'.
Qalandar Baba published three books:
1. Ilm-o-Irfan
ka Samundar: 'Ruabaiyat Qalandar Baba Aulia'.
2. Israr-o-Ramooz
ka Khazana: 'Loh-o-Qalam”
3. 'Tazkira
Taj-ud-Din Baba'.
He says in his Rubiyat:
"There was work and became a story;
There was city and became wilderness
The skies have thrown thousands of
shadows
I became a dust and with a dust became a
goblet"
"No sign of human is useless;
There are thousands of effulgence in the
creation of this mud;
The hand is to lift the goblet;
This arm is being made by potter with silver
The doves in the garden are all mud
The fishes in the waters are mud
Whole of the world is an illusion
The butterflies in flowers are all mud
Though you come from the spiritual world;
Yet your state is no better than a captive of jail;
Azeem I don't know your state there but I am
well-aware of the wilderness of this world
Hazrat Qalandar Baba Aulia wrote in the first
page of his book 'Loh-o-Qalam':
"I am writing this book with the order of
Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H. I received this command from Hazoor in the way of
'Awaisi' order".
He wrote in the end of his book:
"Allah says I have blessed you with
hearing and sight; it means that I am the source of information. Whatever
information you receive; the amount of the whole is almost equivalent to zero
as compared to the given information. Received information is so limited that
they are not worth-mentioning. There is no source other than spiritual
knowledge to attain a wide range of information and for spiritual knowledge, we
have to consult Quran-e-Hakeem.
This law is to be taken into account that most
of our thoughts are about those matters which are unconcerned to us. They are connected
with the creatures which are some where present in the universe. Their
imaginations reach through waves to us.
Hazrat Qalandar Baba Aulia has drawn maps of
divine world, earthly world, the world of Angels and earths and heavens.
The first edition of Roohani Digest' was
published in 1978 in the supervision of Hazoor Qalandar Baba Aulia. Most of it titles;
with minute changes are a reflection of these maps Women are more interested
than men. It is a tragedy that a huge majority of women is neglected where
there, is not marked difference of competence between the two. 'Azeemia order'
has given a great opportunity to women in spreading the mission of Prophet
Mohammad (P.B.U.H)
Supernatural and spiritual way of thinking is
common in colleges and universities by the efforts of' Azeemia order'. 'Imam'
of this order told people that Spiritual Knowledge is an easy access to a
layman. Men and women can lead peaceful lives when once they are strongly
connected with Allah Almighty. 'Khankahi' system is established in the name of
'Muraqba Hall' in Pakistan, India, England, Holland, France, Denmark, Russia,
UAE by the day and night efforts of 'Azeemia order'. The network of libraries
is also established to acquaint common people with spiritual common people with
spiritual knowledge. With the help of electronic technology, spiritualities are
recorded in Video and audio cassettes in the light of Quran and Hadith. It was
necessary so that people are benefited in this era of scientific progress.
Print Media is also taken into consideration
along with pictures and writings. Print media is used to strengthen the roots
of the mission of Qalandar Baba Aulia. The publication of spiritual knowledge
in digests is being continued for thirty-two years.
Allah Almighty says:
"There is neither change nor delay in my
sunnah ".
To banish infidelity, idol-worship and anarchy
on earth, Allah established the chain of prophets. It is said that I lakh and
24 thousand prophets are sent in the world. Quran justified that prophet hood
is closed for ever after Prophet Mohammad (P.B. U.H). According to Allah's
sayings religion is completed. But the spread of religion is necessary even
after its completion because the world is still living. Its population is
increasing day by day and the world remains till the dooms day. The heirs of
Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H); the scholars and 'Aulia Allah' have offered their
services to carry out t e mission of prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) till the end of
this world. With Allah's will, this will be continued for ever.
And the day will come when humanity will
witness the splendors and glory of Allah by understanding quranic commands and
there will be peace in the world.
Today's world is squeezed to the size of a mere
room. Six months' distance is covered within a day and a day's journey is only
a matter of few hours. It is now easy to understand whereabouts.
Apparently, it is a belief of science that nothing
is acceptable until it becomes a vision and is proved with logic. Let alone
this fact that how true this claim of science; 'Azeemia order' has tried that
such knowledge is imparted to men and women which acquaints them with
supernatural and its creatures. This is done according to the mental capacity
of people.
To attain the purpose, 'Azeemia order' has
established the system of teaching. It consists of two parts. Each part
consists of three years.
Students receive this knowledge after six years
course, the basis of which is Quran, Hadith and Supernatural. Some mischievous
people have declared 'Khankahi' system as disputable. For this reason, 'Azeemia order' has introduced this
system as 'Muraqaba Hall'.
80 'Muraqaba Halls' are established up till
2003. Such atmosphere is created in these halls, the air of which is
established by the reflection of the waves of peace and calm. The gatherings of
'zikr' are held. Meditations are held. Prayer and fasting give mental solace.
The aim of 'Azeemia order' is to attain self-knowledge and knowledge of Allah
through the service of humanity.
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
Many a scholar has written a lot about
spiritualism and pantheism. One school of thought is of the view that as saints
often used to wear wooly dresses therefore people would call them sufis. Wool
is called sauf in Arabic. They used to wear such a dress, for it had been the
habit of many a prophet, saints and pious people. According to some people, as
they have been associated with the Ashaab-e-suffa that is why they are called sufis;
whereas according to yet another school of thought the word sufi is linked with
suf a.... but all these explanations are not satisfactory.
In fact, the terminological meaning of Sufi'ism
(tasawaf) is self cleansing. It is the name of a true spirit that is related
to conscience and the light of conscience is always inherent. A sufi always
thinks in the context of Allah. His talk moves around Allah. He lives with
Allah and dies in the name of Allah. He recites His words and always praises
Him and remains enmeshed in His love. He sacrifices everything in order to see
and meet Allah.
