HUZOOR TAAJUSH SHARIAH IS INDEED
‘A SAINTLY PERSONALITY’
Ja-Nasheen e Huzoor e Sadrush Shariah, Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer
Hazrat Allama Ash Shah Mufti Zia ul Mustafa Qadri Amjadi Qibla


‫ﻧﺤﻤﺪہ و �ﺼ�ي ﻋ�ي رﺳﻮﻟہ ا��ﻳﻢ ۔ اﻣﺎ �ﻌﺪ‬

Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is, indeed, a Saintly Personality. In fact, it
should be said that Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was the True
Inheritor to the sciences of knowledge, the blessings and the
benedictions of Huzoor Sayyiduna Aala Hazrat Mujad’did e Deen o
Millat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and in distributing these blessings and benedictions, he
was a unique Fountain of Blessings.

The sight of Hazrat e Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reached those in-depth
intricacies of knowledge, erudition, Fiqh, Ifta and other sciences of
Ilm e Deen, which others are unable to reach or grasp. Such was his
focus and alertness. He also held a distinct position in his era, when it
came to Na’at Compositions. After listening to his Na’atiya Kalaams,
one is left in a state of suspense, feeling that this is either a certain
Kalaam of Sayyiduna Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬or the Na’at Composition of
Huzoor Sarkaar e Mufti e Azam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

It is the Grace of Allah, that his Na’at Collection has already been
published. However, there are also many Kalaams which he
composed even after the publication of his Na’at Collection. My
deeply revered and respected beloved, Hazrat Maulana Mufti Afthab
Cassim, who resides in Durban, South Africa, has presented the
explanations and interpretations to some of the couplets from the
Collection of Huzoor Taajush Shariah’s Na’atiya Kalaams, and he

7
intends to launch this publication on the upcoming Shab e Bara-at.
May Almighty Allah accept his efforts. Maulana Afthab Cassim is well-
known as a great guide of Deen and as a steadfast and very powerful
preacher of Maslak e Aala Hazrat in his region, and he is also
successful in this service of his. We have trust and confidence in him.

Allah accept this effort of his, and bless him with futher Divine
Guidance towards further research and pursuit, and may He bless
him with bliss in this world and in the hereafter, and may Almighty
Allah bless us with His Mercy as well.

BLESSED WORDS OF INSPIRATION
FROM THE ISLAMIC CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA
Huzoor Sayyidi Qaa’id e Millat Ja-Nasheen e Huzoor Taajush Shariah,
Hazrat Allama Mufti Asjad Raza Khan Qaadiri Qibla


‫ﻧﺤﻤﺪہ و �ﺼ�ي ﻋ�ي رﺳﻮﻟہ ا��ﻳﻢ‬

Praise be To Almighty Allah. Durood and Salaams in abundance upon


the Best of Allah’s Creation, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and
upon His ‫ ﷺ‬Most Exalted Family and Most Noble Companions.

You have before you the book ’50 RAYS OF LUMINOSITY FROM
SAYYIDI TAAJUSH SHARIAH’S POETRY’ which has been compiled by
my dear Maulana Afthab Cassim Qaadiri Razvi Noori of Durban, South
Africa, who is the Mureed, Khalifa and Wakeel of my Noble Father,
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

He has compiled this book which is a commentary of fifty selected


couplets from the Safina e Bakhshish of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he has presented heart touching and
interesting explanations to the Religious Spiritual Couplets of my
Noble Father.

In doing so, he has added another important literary work to the list
of works which he has done in the love of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. I request all of you to read through this entire book and
to pay special attention to the points of Aqaa’id and the refutation of
Sulhe Kul’liyat which have been mentioned in the book.

9
Also carefully read the closing article in the book which is a very
important discussion on the grand position of Sayyiduna Aala Hazrat
Azeemul Barkat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬as the ‘The Sign of Recognition of The Deen’.

He has also included a poem at the end of the book called ‘Taajush
Shariah’s Poetry’ which summarises the beauty and eloquence of the
Na’atiya Kalaams of Huzoor Waalid e Giraami Sayyidi Taajush Shariah
‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬. Indeed Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah lived in the Love of Nabi

e Akram ‫ ﷺ‬and he departed from this world in the Love of Nabi e


Akram ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and till this day, he is inspiring us in the Love of Nabi e
Akram ‫ﷺ‬. His love was so deep that he said,

Soya Nahiñ Me Raat Bhar Ishq e Huzoor Me


Kaisa Ye Rat Jaga Raha Kayf o Suroor Me

Pichle Pahar Jo Mar Gaya Un Ka Woh Jaañ Nisaar


Sar-Goshiyaañ Ye Kya Hu-eeñ Ghilmaan o Hoor Me

In The Love Of Huzoor I Have Not Slept The Entire Night,


O’ How I Spent This Night Of Vigil, In Rapture & Delight!

Regarding His Beloved Devotee Who Passed Away, Earlier That Night,
What Are The Heavenly Servants & Maidens Whispering In Delight

It is my Dua through the Sadqa of Nabi e Akram Noor e Mujas’sam ‫ﷺ‬


that Almighty Allah accepts this effort of his and blesses him with
long life and the Divine Guidance to produce more works of our
Masha’ikh and May Allah grant him even greater closeness and
deeper love for Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. Aameen.

A CONCISE COMMENTARY OF FIFTY COUPLETS FROM THE
SAFINA E BAKHSHISH OF SAYYIDI TAAJUSH SHARIAH
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shakeel Saaheb Qaadiri Ridawi Qibla (U.K.)
Founder & Head of Zia e Akhtar Islamic Academy

All Praise be to Allah Almighty and infinite Salutations and Blessings


upon the Best of all creation, Sayyiduna Rasool Allah ‫ﷺ‬, upon His ‫ﷺ‬
Blessed Family, all of the Blessed Companions, and all the Ushaaq
who spend their days and nights praising the Praised One, Sayyiduna
Rasool Allah ‫ﷺ‬.

You have before you “A Concise Commentary of Fifty Couplets From,


The Safina e Bakhshish of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah Allama
Mufti Imam Muhammad Akhtar Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.” These are not
merely couplets of poetry, but rather gems with hidden meanings as
explained, which will act as a protection of our Imaan, whilst
safeguarding us from the diseases and fitnas around the world today,
whilst guaranteeing benefits in both this world and the hereafter.

We live in a world of social media and celebrity scholars who


nowadays speak of unity with all, who speak of not mentioning the
deviant beliefs of the bad-madhabs, whilst even going as far as saying
performing Salaah behind them, or attending their places of worship
are permissible. Allah Almighty save us from such! Aameen.

Issues such as these have been spoken about by our elders for years,
Huzur Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬also speaks about this and other such
issues in many of his couplets about sticking to the righteous Ulama
who warn and guide towards the path of truth.

11
We live in a time where without doubt Hadrat Mufti Afthab Cassim
Saahib is amongst those who warn and guide towards the path of
truth. When many celebrity scholars said we are only Muslims, when
some said we are only Sunni and nothing more, when others
objected to being known as Qaadiri, Bareilvi or Razawi this Mard e
Mujahid is heard proclaiming “Maiñ Qaadiri Hooñ, Maiñ Qaadiri
Hooñ” and at times saying “Hai Shukr e Khuda, Maiñ Razawi Hooñ
Sunni Hooñ, Bareilvi Hooñ“.

A child is known by the parents, a student is known by his teachers, a


mureed is known by his Masha’ikh. O’ what beautiful parents, O’
what beautiful teachers and O’ what beautiful Masha’ikh this Mard e
Mujahid Hadrat Mufti Afthaab Cassim has! Without a doubt Fanaa in
his love for his Shaykh and the family of His Shaykh. I pray Allah
Almighty accepts this beautiful book as Esaal e Thawaab for his
parents and may it be a means of great benefit to the masses, may it
be a means of Shifa to all those who are ill and a means of solace for
all those suffering. Aameen

‘A RADIANT LAMP OF PROPHETIC PRAISE'
Hazrat Allama Maulana Mufti Quaiser Ali Razvi Misbahi Qibla
Head Mufti, Amjadi Darul Ifta, Masjid e Khalid, Durban, South Africa

‫�ﺴﻢ اﷲ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ اﻟﺮﺣﻴﻢ‬

‫ﺣﺎﻣﺪا و ﻣﺼﻠﻴﺎ و ﻣﺴﻠﻤﺎ‬

Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬is that brilliant
personality, who needs no introduction. We all know that Hazrat ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬
spent his entire life in the service of the Madhab and the Maslak.

He inherited such a vast share of the true and profound Love for
Beloved Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬that he continuously distributed this Love
throughout his blessed life, which did not decrease in any way.
Rather, this love constantly increased as the days went by.

In this current era, he was peerless in the diverse sciences and


branches of knowledge which he possessed. He was blessed with
amazing expertise in Arabic Literature. He held a distinguished
position in the intricate matters of Islamic Jurisprudence. He held a
peerless position in the Sciences of Qur’anic Exegesis and the
Principles of Exegesis, Hadith and The Principles of Hadith (Sacred
Prophetic Tradition), Logic and Articulation, Philosophy, Theology,
Debating, Astronomy, Chronology and in the Science of Inheritance.

He was an expert and excelled in the Sciences of Tajweed and Qira’at


(Principles of Qur’anic Recitation), the Mystical Study of Numbers,
Numerology, Prosody and Poetic Meters. In brief, he was a master,
and matchless in all the current day branches of knowledge and
sciences.

13
In other words, it would not be misplaced to say that, in the Sacred
and Religious Sciences, Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬was the Radiant Reflection and Splendid Manifestation of
his Noble Forefather, Imam e Ahle Sunnat Sayyidi Huzoor Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬.

The accounts of critically analysing texts (especially poetry) and the


art of composing poetry, is not just a century’s old tradition, but this
has been a practise for thousands of years, and great personalities
have expressed their heart’s desires and feelings by way of it. Sacred
Spiritual Poetry is a form of poetry which is composed in pure and
profound love. The heart attains peace and tranquillity by reciting
and composing the praises of Huzoor e Akram ‫ﷺ‬. This is such ‘A
Radiant Lamp of Prophetic Praise’ that, not only does it illuminate the
heart of man, but through it, the society of mankind is illuminated
and enlightened.

The Sacred and Spiritual Poetry of Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬is such a beautiful bouquet of true love, affection
and absorption, that from it, flows the Sweet Fragrance of the Love
for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and the Radiance of Loyalty and Devotion,
as it interprets and represent the true and pure beliefs (of the Ahle
Sunnat), and refutes and negates the corrupt and deviant beliefs (of
the deviants). It flows with the sweetness and pleasure of Imaan, and
the eloquence and pureness of his expressions.

The Na’ats written by him are a reflection of the fact that he wished
to enlighten and enrich every Sunni Sahih ul Aqida Muslim with the
exquisiteness and the sweetness of the Pure Love for The Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. In brief, his poetry splendidly manifested
the use of figures of speech, such as metaphors and similes, while
incorporating quotations filled with eloquence and pure rhetoric.

14
It is not an easy undertaking to present an ad-lib and spontaneous
interpretation and explanation of the ‘Na’atiya Couplets’ of Murshid
e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬. However, when
Almighty Allah showers His Divine Grace upon someone, then
nothing is impossible.

Therefore, by the Divine Grace and Mercy of Almighty Allah, through


the Blessings and Sacred Medium of His Most Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and
through the Spiritual Favours of Ghaus, Khwaja, Raza, Haamid,
Mustafa and Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬, and the
Blessed Sight and Special Attention of my Beloved Teacher, Huzoor
Muhad’dith e Kabeer ‫دام ظ��ہ ��نی ظ�ا‬, the embodiment of knowledge and
sincerity, the propagator of Maslak e Aala Hazrat, the Khalifa of
Huzoor Taajush Shariah and Huzoor Muhad’dith e Kabeer, Hazrat
Allama Mufti Muhammad Afthab Cassim Qaadiri Razvi Noori Saaheb
Qibla, the founder and head of Imam Mustafa Raza Research Centre,
Overport, Durban, South Africa, has provided a brilliant academic and
intellectual manuscript for us disciples, followers and lovers, by
interpreting and explaining the ‘Na’atiya Couplets’ of Murshid e
Kareem ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬. For this, we congratulate him from the bottom of our
hearts. If it is accepted, it will be an honour for us.

Praise be to Allah! This humble servant had the beautiful opportunity


of reading through most of the book thoroughly, which filled me with
immense pleasure and delight. Indeed this new and fresh endeavour
of Huzoor Afthab e Millat Saaheb Qibla which is now in your hands is
an exclusive compilation and literary composition in its class. Just as
it is evident from the name of this book, it strengthens our
connection to Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬,
and helps us to recognise him, whilst it takes us into the depths of his
poetry.

15
In brief, I must say that when you read from the depths of your heart,
the exemplary interpretations and explanations in the light of the
Qur’an and Hadith, of the Pure Spiritual Poetry, in other words, the
thoughts and the couplets of Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬as presented by Huzoor Afthab e Millat Saaheb
Qibla, you will realise that Huzoor Afthab e Millat Saaheb Qibla has
accomplished this task after making an immense effort. The effort
and hard work which he has put into this book is evident from every
page.

When one looks at the life of Huzoor Afthab e Millat, and when one
observes how immensely busy and occupied he is, you will realise
that his aim and objective is to propagate and spread the thoughts
and the ideology of ‘Raza’ on an international level, and to cause the
minds and the thoughts of the people to be perfumed with the
beautiful fragrance of Raza’s Knowledge.

It is my heartfelt Dua that Almighty Allah, through the Blessings of His


Beloveds, keeps Hazrat Mufti Saaheb Qibla well, and accepts his
grand and splendid services, blessing him with further blessings.

‫اﻟﺪﻳﻦ‬
‫ و ﻣﻦ ﺗﺒﻌﻬﻢ ﺑﺎﺣﺴﺎن ا�ي ﻳﻮم ﹽ‬،‫ و آﻟہ و ﺻﺤﺒہ ا��ام اﺟﻤﻌ�ن‬،‫ﻧﺤﻤﺪہ و�ﺼ� ﹽي و �ﺴﻠﻢ ﻋ�ي رﺳﻮﻟہ ا��ﻳﻢ‬

All Praise is For Almighty Allah, The Creator of the entire creation,
Who sent His Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬as ‘The Best of His Creation’. Allah’s
Special Mercy and Blessings upon The Best in Allah’s Creation, The
Soul of The Creation, The Mercy Unto The Creation, The First And
Greatest In Allah’s Creation, Almighty Allah’s Grandest Envoy towards
The Creation, Hazrat Ahmad e Mujtaba Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬,
Who is The Essence and The Spirit of Creation, and Whose Ummah, is
indeed the most exalted Ummah in the creation. Peace and Blessings
upon His ‫ ﷺ‬Noble Family, who are most certainly the Most
Illustrious Family in the entire creation and upon His ‫ ﷺ‬Illustrious
Companions, Who after The Ambia ‫��يي ه �����م‬, are indeed the Brightest
Stars in the entire creation.

Peace and Blessings upon the Eminent Awliya e Kaamileen and the
Noble Ulama e Deen, who inherited their knowledge and wisdom
from the Most Radiant Congregation in the creation. Peace and
Blessings upon all those righteous ones in the creation, who praised,
praise and will praise The Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, Who is undeniably ‘The
Most Praised in Allah’s Creation’, particularly upon Has’saan,
Rawaaha, Jaami, Rumi, Buseeri, Sa’adi, Jazuli, Raza, Noori and Akhtar,
who are the Grand Poets in the creation, whose Na’at Compilations
filled the hearts of Mustafa’s Nation, with Oceans of Love, for Nabi e
Arabi ‫ﷺ‬, Who is absolutely ‘The Grandest and Most Beloved of
Almighty Allah In The Entire Creation’.

17
By the Grace of Almighty Allah, The Mercy of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
‫ ﷺ‬and the Blessings of the Awliya and Masha’ikh, especially my

Beloved Shaykh e Kaamil Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah Imam


Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and my mentor Sultan ul
Fuqaha Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer Hazrat Allama Mufti Zia
ul Mustafa Qaadiri Qibla, and the Duas of the Beloved Son of my
Murshid e Kareem, Qaa’id e Millat Hazrat Allama Mufti Asjad Raza
Khan Qaadiri Razvi Qibla and the Blessings of my Beloved Parents
(Allah exalt them in Jannah), you have before you the book, ’50 RAYS
OF LUMINOSITY FROM SAYYIDI TAAJUSH SHARIAH’S POETRY’.

This book is a compilation of an attempted explanation and


commentary of fifty selected couplets from the renowned Safina e
Bakhshish of Huzoor Murshid e Kareem Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬
which I have been sharing as a series of posts. These have now been
compiled into a book, with additions and further explanations, and is
being presented to you as a Gift in the Love of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

It must be noted that just as I have mentioned in the First Ray of


Luminosity, we should keep in mind throughout this book that the
couplets are translated in a poetic format and are in an explanatory
sense. It must also be understood that poetry can be explained and
interpreted in many ways and each couplet holds numerous
interpretations, based on the one who is interpreting it. I have thus
attempted to the best of my ability while relying on the Karam and
Spiritual Guidance of Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬to explain and interpret these couplets to the best of my
ability, in a concise and simple manner. It is my Dua through the
Sadqa of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬that Almighty Allah accepts this humble
effort in His Majestic Court. Aameen.

18
After acknowledging the Blessings of my Masha’ikh e Kiraam
especially Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer Qibla and Huzoor
Sayyidi Qaa’id e Millat Qibla, I must sincerely thank and acknowledge
as always, the sincere and endless efforts of Aalim e Nabeel Hazrat
Allama Maulana Muhammad Shakeel Saaheb Qaadiri Ridawi Qibla,
the Founder and Head of Zia e Akhtar Islamic Academy (United
Kingdom), for proofreading this book and for making valuable
suggestions. After I had sent this work to Hazrat Maulana Shakeel
Saaheb Qibla, his Respected Father had taken very ill and is currently
in hospital. Hazrat Maulana Shakeel Saaheb was also unwell
afterwards, but he still completed the work and wrote some blessed
words, even though I asked him not to exert himself. This is a true
sign of his sincerity and his zest to serve the Deen. Allah grant Shifa to
his Respected Father and to him as well. Aameen. I must also
sincerely thank and acknowledge the support and efforts of Hazrat
Allama Maulana Mufti Quaiser Ali Razvi Misbahi, the Founder and
Head Mufti of Amjadi Darul Ifta (Chatsworth, South Africa) and the
Founder and Head of Madrassah Aala Hazrat (Chatsworth, South
Africa), for reading through these explanations, and for his valuable
suggestions and words of encouragement during this venture. May
Almighty Allah bless all our Ulama e Haq Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama’at
with prosperity in Deen and Duniya and with good health and Barkat
in their Rizq e Halaal, through the Blessings of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.
Aameen. Special thanks and appreciation to Brother Rukhsar Hussain
Qaadiri Amjadi (Birmingham, UK), Brother Faheem Moosa Qaadiri
Razvi (Gweru, Zimbabwe), and Maulana Ahmed Sabir Suliman Qaadiri
Razvi for reading through this book and for their continuous efforts

I would also like to thank Aashiq e Taajush Shariah Brother Shahbaz

through the Wasila of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬keeps us all steadfast on
Maslak e Aala Hazrat and saves us from the fitna of the deviants,
especially from the strife of the Sulhe Kullis (the agents of unholy
unity). Aameen. I pray through the Sadqa of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬that
Almighty Allah grants all our Masha’ikh especially Huzoor Sayyidi
Muhad’dith e Kabeer Qibla and Huzoor Sayyidi Qaa’id e Millat Qibla a
long life, and may their generous shade of blessings remain over our
heads forever. I pray that this humble effort is accepted in the Court
of Almighty Allah and that it will serve as a means of benefit to the
Ahle Sunnat, and may it be a means of blessing to my Beloved
Parents and a means of salvation for me, my wife and my children.
Aameen.

THE FIRST RAY OF LUMINOSITY


‫ت ببن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬
‫ و � نن �ھم ب�ا�� نان ��ی ینوم �� ّ یدننن‬،‫ و �ٓ�ہ و ��ببہ ���رام ا ب���ن نین‬،‫���دہ ون���ّی و ���م ��ی ر�و�ہ ��� ییرم‬

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says In The Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬:

MUNAWWAR MERI AANKHOÑ KO


MERE SHAMSUD-DUHAA KAR DEÑ

GHAMOÑ KI DHOOP MEIÑ


WO SAAYA E ZULF E DUTA KAR DEÑ

ILLUMINATE MY EYES, O MY MASTER!


THE GLOWING SUN OF ILLUMINATION

IN THE HEAT OF DISTRESS, IN THE SHADE OF


YOUR SACRED LOCKS, GRANT ME PROTECTION

Attempted Explanation: I must say that Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
was indeed totally absorbed in the love of Almighty Allah and His
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and this was visible throughout his life, in his final
moments on this earth and after his Wisaal. We can sense this deep
love which he possessed, even after he has journeyed from this
physical world.

24
One should keep in mind throughout this book that the couplets are
translated in a poetic format and are in an explanatory sense, and
that poetry can be explained in many ways and each couplet holds
numerous interpretations, based on the one who is interpreting it.

I will attempt to interpret these couplets to the best of my ability, in


a concise and simple manner, In’sha Allah. In this couplet, Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is making a special request and plea in
the Grand Court of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, wherein he is
requesting that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬illuminates his eyes.

This could be understood in two ways; The first being that this was
written close to the time when Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
had lost his physical worldly vision by Allah's Will. So, in the apparent
sense he is asking for his sight to be returned and restored.

However, if one looks at the second line of this couplet, one will
notice that his request and his plea is more spiritual, and he is asking
for a special illumination and radiance in his eyes from Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

In other words, he is saying that my physical sight may have been


lost, but grant me such radiance in my eyes, that even without these
physical eyes, I may see what I wish to, for my greatest wish is that I
should be able to see You often, Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ﷺ‬, and this is why I
am requesting for this powerful vision, through which I should have
the capability to make Your Deedaar, Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ﷺ‬.

Here, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is referring to Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬as
Shamsud Duhaa, in other words, ‘The Glowing Sun of Illumination’,
meaning, the morning sun which removes darkness.

25
In making this plea, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also showing the
Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat, that we believe in asking from
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, even if it is for restoring our vision or for anything
else, for to ask from Him ‫ ﷺ‬is to ask from Almighty Allah.

Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬then says that in the heat and intensity
of my sorrows, shade me with Your Sacred Zulf e Mubaarak, Ya
Rasool’Allah ‫ﷺ‬.

It can also mean that Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬When I get to see You ‫ ﷺ‬on
the Day of Hashr (Resurrection), may my eyes be glowing and ready
for this blessed moment, and when all are in a state of apprehension
and fear on that day, and when the sun on that day is intense and
right above us, then, O Glowing Sun of Illumination ‫ﷺ‬, Protect and
Shade me and all those who truly love You, in the Shade of Your Zulf
e Mubaarak (i.e. Sacred Hair).

As this juncture, I must say that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
was indeed blessed with what he requested from the Sacred Court of
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, for his sight had become so powerful that
while sitting in Bareilly Shareef, he observed the condition of the
hearts of his Mureeds and those who truly loved him throughout the
world. Till this day, I believe that with his sight of Wilaayat he sees us
and blesses us daily.

THE SECOND RAY OF LUMINOSITY


‫ت ببن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬
‫ و � نن �ھم ب�ا�� نان ��ی ینوم �� ّ یدننن‬،‫ و �ٓ�ہ و ��ببہ ���رام ا ب���ن نین‬،‫���دہ ون���ّی و ���م ��ی ر�و�ہ ��� ییرم‬

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says About The Blessings of Sultan ul Hind
Hazrat Khwaja e Ajmeri ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬:

SADQA HAI KHWAJA E AJMER KA TUJH PE AKHTAR


BURJ E RIF’AT ME CHAMAKTA HE SITAARA TERA

UPON YOU O AKHTAR! THE GRANT OF


THE KHWAJA OF AJMER IS DIRECTED

IN THE EXALTED GALAXY OF THE STARS,


YOUR STAR IS BRILLIANTLY ILLUMINATED

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is revealing his strong and powerful connection to Sultan
ul Hind Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. In this couplet, he is
acknowledging the greatness and the grand excellence which has
been afforded to Sultan ul Hind Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

In other words, he is saying that, O Akhtar Raza! It is the Blessing and


the Spiritual Grant of Sultan ul Hind Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬which is shading you and which has descended upon you, due to

which you have received such excellence and honour.

27
Here, it must be noted that this blessing which Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is acknowledging and which he is so proud to
announce, is that Special Blessing of Sarkaar e Ghareeb Nawaaz ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
which he has received through the connection of his Grand
Forefathers and his Masha’ikh to Sultan ul Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, for indeed the
connection of the Masha’ikh of Bareilly Shareef to Hazrat Sarkaar
Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is a very powerful and uninterrupted
connection, because this connection is through the Blessings of
Sarkaar e Baghdad, Hazrat Sayyiduna Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Jilani ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
who appointed Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬as The King of
India.

In the second line of this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
is relating to the first line and in doing so, he is saying, O Akhtar! Such
are the Blessings which you have received through your Masha'ikh
from Khwaja e Ajmeri ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬that your star of destiny is glowing brightly
in the world. Now, this was the apparent sense and interpretation of
this couplet.

After mentioning the apparent sense of this couplet, I must say that
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is indeed glowing in the eyes of
the people today, through the Special Blessings of Sultan ul Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

However, if we carefully examine this line of the couplet with the


eyes of love, we will find that there is a mystical secret concealed in
it.

To better understand this, it must first be noted that, the word


Akhtar means ‘star’ and it also refers to the star of one’s fate and
destiny. So, if one looks at this couplet in the spiritual sense and
thinks about the ‘Exalted Galaxy’, then one will be able to interpret
this couplet in a Spiritual and Mystical sense as well.

28
From this, I have understood that this is not only in the apparent
sense, but it is in the spiritual sense as well, because this is that
Exalted Galaxy wherein the Blessings of Sultan ul Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is being
granted to the Chosen Stars.

In other words, this Burj e Rif'at in the spiritual sense is the Galaxy of
Wilaayat and since Sultan ul Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is the King of the Awliya in
India, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has been blessed with such
blessings by Huzoor Khwaja e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that his star of fate and
destiny is not only glowing in the physical world, but it is shining
brightly in the Spiritual World as well, and this is because the King of
Saints in Hind, Sarkaar Ghareeb Nawaaz ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has accepted
and included Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in the Galaxy of the Awliya
of Hind and hence Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not only glowing in
Hind, but he is glowing throughout the world, for indeed he is now
that star, who is glowing in the Galaxy of the Stars of Wilaayat.

So, through the Blessings of Huzoor Khwaja e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬I have also
understood that our Murshid e Kareem Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
is humbling himself in the Court of Sultan ul Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and thus we
are seeing that he is not only Akhtar e Burj e Rif'at in the apparent
sense but through the Spiritual Grant of Sultan ul Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬he is also
Akhtar e Burj e Wilaayat.

In other words, even though he is speaking about the apparent


sense, his true lovers can see that, even in the spiritual sense, he is A
Glowing Star in the Galaxy of Wilaayat.

THE THIRD RAY OF LUMINOSITY


‫ت ببن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬
‫ و � نن �ھم ب�ا�� نان ��ی ینوم �� ّ یدننن‬،‫ و �ٓ�ہ و ��ببہ ���رام ا ب���ن نین‬،‫���دہ ون���ّی و ���م ��ی ر�و�ہ ��� ییرم‬

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

ZINDAGI YE NAHIÑ HE KISI KE LIYE


ZINDAGI HE NABI KI NABI KE LIYE

FOR NONE OTHER, HAS


THIS LIFE BEEN CREATED

THIS LIFE BELONGS TO OUR NABI,


FOR OUR NABI IT WAS CREATED

Attempted Explanation: Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has


written so many Na’ats and each of them has a unique and amazing
beauty, but to me, this is one stanza which is the essence of all the
Na’ats which he has composed. In fact, the message which Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying in this couplet is the essence of the
life of every Believer.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that
this life which we have has a very special significance and it is not
something which should be taken lightly. He is explaining in the first
line that this life is not for anyone else, and in the second line he tells
us what he means by this. In other words, he is telling us that today,

30
people waste their lives sinning and in the love of the world, and
people have become so lost in the love of this world, that they have
started to think that this life was given to them so that they may only
enjoy the pleasures of this world.

Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is thus telling us that, this life was not
given to us for this reason, but it was given to us, for the sake of the
Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and he is also telling us that this life which has been
given to us by Almighty Allah, belongs to the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

Today, there are people who for the sake of the world, compromise
their Deen and befriend the deviants, because they want to please
their business partners, bosses or their associates etc., but they
should understand that this life which we have is not for anyone else,
but it is for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and the love of the Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is paramount, and thus this love should never be
compromised, for we are what we are, because of the Beloved
Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

In a way, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also manifesting the words of
his blessed forefather and the Imam of the Ahle Sunnat Sayyidi Aala
Hazrat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in
this couplet. Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam e Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Dahan Me Zabaañ Tumhaare Liye


Badan Me Hai Jaañ Tumhaare Liye

Ham Aaye Yahaañ Tumhaare Liye


Ut’theñ Bhi Wahaañ Tumhaare Liye

The Tongue In Our Mouths, For You, We Are Having


The Life & Soul In Our Bodies, For You We Are Having

31
We Have Come Here Indeed, For You, My King
In The Hereafter As Well, For You We Will Be Rising

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying to us this very
same message of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. In other words, we were
granted this life so that we may live our lives in accordance with the
Sunnah of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining that we have arrived in this
world so that we may be tested in the True Love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.
In other words, we have been given these lives so that we may
honour the Grand Message which our Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬brought to us.
In other words, The Grand Message, which commands us to believe
in Allah Alone and to worship One Allah. On the day of reckoning,
Almighty Allah will show the entire creation that Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is
the Most Beloved and the Most Exalted in His Divine Court, and that
the entire creation was indeed created to honour His Beloved ‫ ﷺ‬on
the Plains of Reckoning. There is no doubt that Almighty Allah
created us for His Ibaadat and we know that Almighty Allah says in
the Holy Qur’an,

‫اﻻﻧ ْ ﹷﺲ ا ﹻ ﹽﹷﻻ ﻟ ﹷﹻﻴ ْﻌﺒﹹ ﹹﺪ ْو ﹻن‬


‫ﹷو ﹷﻣﺎ ﹷﺧ ﹷﻠ ْﻘ ﹹﺖ ا ْﻟﺠﹻﻦﹽﹷ ﹷو ْ ﹻ‬

And I Only Created Man And Jinn So That They May Worship Me.
[Surah Az Zariyat (51), Verse 56]

There is no doubt that Almighty Allah created us to worship Him, but


Almighty Allah sent this Command to worship Him Alone and the
Grand Message of His Oneness, through His Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬. So,
Almighty Allah taught us that we can never truly worship Him unless
we follow the manner of Worship which was taught to us by Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.
32
When asked if the following is a Hadith,

‫ﻟ ْﹷﻮ ﹷﻻ ﹷک ﻟ ﹷﹷﻤﺎ اﹷﻇْ ﹷه ْﺮتﹹ اﻟﺮﹽﹷﺑﹹ ْﻮﺑ ﹻ ﹽﹷﻴ ﹷﺔ‬

(O My Most Beloved ‫ )ﷺ‬If You Were Not, I Would Have Not Made
Apparent That I Am The Rab’b.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬stated in his Malfooz
Shareef, I have not seen it in the Hadith, but it has come in the books
of the Noble Sufis,

‫ﻟ ْﹷﻮ ﹷﻻ ﹷک ﻟ ﹷﹷﻤﺎ اﹷﻇْ ﹷه ْﺮتﹹ رﺑ ﹹ ْﻮﺑ ﹻ ﹽﹷﻴ�ﹻي‬

So, in this sense it is correct and it is in accordance with the Sahih


Hadith. It is reported in the Sahih Hadith

‫ﺧﻠﻘﺖ اﻟﺨﻠﻖ ﻻ�ﻓﻬﻢ �اﻣﺘک و ﻣﻨﺰﻟﺘک ﻋﻨﺪي و ﻟﻮﻻک ﻣﺎ ﺧﻠﻘﺖ اﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ‬

O My Most Beloved ‫ !ﷺ‬I Created The Creation, So That I May Have


Them Recognise The Grandness And The Honour, Which You Have
In My Divine Court, And O My Most Beloved ‫ !ﷺ‬If You Were Not, I
Would Not Have Created The World.

In other words, and neither would I have created the Hereafter,


because the world is Darul Amal (The Domain of Deeds) and The
Hereafter is Darul Jaza (The Domain of Recompense). If the Darul
Amal would not have existed, then from where would the Darul Jaza
have come? This is a branch of that. So, if the world did not exist,
then the Hereafter would not have existed. So upon whom would it
have become apparent that Allah is Allah? This is what this really
33
means; that O My Most Beloved ‫ !ﷺ‬If You Were Not, I Would Have
Not Have Made Apparent That I Am Allah And I Would Have Not
Made Apparent That I Am The Rab’b. ‫[ ; ��ی ال�ہ ت��ا�ی ��تی ہ و ��م‬Al Malfooz, Volume
2]

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that all of this is
because of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and it is because of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬that
we were blessed with Imaan and it is through Him ‫ ﷺ‬that we
became the believing servants of Almighty Allah, and it is through
Him ‫ ﷺ‬that we have received Allah’s Mercy. Thus, it is a fact, that
this life is for Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and He ‫ ﷺ‬is the Master of our lives, and it is a
fact, that our lives belong to the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and when one truly
realises this, then he will never befriend and associate with deviants
and the agents of unholy unity (Sulhe-Kullis), but he will keep away
from them, for they are nothing, and our Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is
everything.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching us to realise that, the
one who is detached from the Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬has nothing, and the one who
believes that the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is the Master of his life, is the one
who has attained success and passed the test of life. The True
believers are those who regard the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬as the Owner of

their lives and this is why the Sahaba e Kiraam ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج��� ين ضن‬always said,

‫ﻓﺪا≈ أ�ي وأ�ي‬

Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬Our Parents Are Sacrificed Upon You!


[Bukhari Shareef, Muslim Shareef, Mishkaat Shareef]

THE FOURTH RAY OF LUMINOSITY


‫ت ببن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬
‫ و � نن �ھم ب�ا�� نان ��ی ینوم �� ّ یدننن‬،‫ و �ٓ�ہ و ��ببہ ���رام ا ب���ن نین‬،‫���دہ ون���ّی و ���م ��ی ر�و�ہ ��� ییرم‬

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

BATAANA THA KE NATURE UN KE


ZER E PAA MUSAKH-KHAR HAI

BANA PAT’THAR ME YUÑ NAQSH E


KAF E PAA MERE SARWAR KA

IN ORDER TO SHOW THAT, BENEATH HIS SACRED FEET,


NATURE IS HUMBLY SUBMITTING

IN A ROCK THE SACRED FOOTPRINT OF MY MASTER,


WAS EASILY EMBEDDING

Attempted Explanation: This is another beautiful couplet written by


Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he is mentioning The
Grand Authority and The Peerless Position of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that,
in order to show the world that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is Peerless and
to show the world that even Nature as it is known, is submitted
beneath the Beloved Rasool’s Sacred Feet, Almighty Allah allowed
the people to see the uniqueness of the Sacred Feet of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.In other words, the nature of a rock is that it is hard and
35
does not naturally melt by itself. However, it was the Blessed Miracle
of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬that when the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬would
place His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred Foot on a rock, then many times the rock would
become soft and the Sacred Footprint of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬would become embedded in the rock very easily and
comfortably.

Shaykh Abdul Haq Muhad’dith e Delhvi ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬ says in Madarij un
Nubuw’wat Shareef that,

It is from amongst His ‫ ﷺ‬unique characteristics that when


He ‫ ﷺ‬would walk on rocks, then both His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred Footprints
would become embedded in the rocks. [Madarijun Nubuw’wah
Shareef]

This proved that the natural characteristic of things submitted


themselves beneath the Sacred Feet of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and this
proves that the rest of the creation are under the Grand Authority of
the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and that He ‫ ﷺ‬controls the condition of
things as and when He ‫ ﷺ‬wishes.

It also means that even though a rock is regarded lifeless, it still was
blessed with knowing that this is the Sacred Foot of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬,
and due to this, the rock exhibited such love and honour to
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬that it took the Sacred Footprint of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬into
itself and became a Blessed Exhibit and a Blessed Relic for the
Believers.

From this it is evident, the rock embedding in itself the Sacred


Footprints of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is in contrast to its natural
characteristics.

36
Other examples of nature submitting to the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, is the
example of the tree which uprooted itself and dragged itself towards
the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, the already set sun which returned on
His ‫ ﷺ‬Command, the moon which split in two by the Gesture of
His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Finger, the moon which would move, following the
movement of His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Finger, while He ‫ ﷺ‬was still a Baby in
the cradle, animals speaking to him and other such incidents. All of
this was to show that nature is the slave at the Sacred Feet and upon
the Sacred Command of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

In mentioning how nature was submitted beneath the Sacred Feet of


Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is reminding us that the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is not an ordinary human-being, but He ‫ ﷺ‬is the
Master of the rest of the Creation by the Will of Allah, and the rest of

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

MAH O KHURSHEED O ANJUM MEIÑ


CHAMAK APNI NAHIÑ KUCH BHI

UJAALA HAI HAQEEQAT MEIÑ


UNHEEÑ KI PAAK TAL’AT KA

IN THE MOON, THE SUN & IN THE STARS,


THERE IS NOTHING OF THEIR OWN ILLUMINATION

THE RADIANCE WHICH THEY EMIT, IS IN FACT,


THE GLOW OF HIS PURE MANIFESTATION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is saying that the Moon, the Sun and the Stars are
indeed glowing radiantly, but you should not think that this is their
own radiance and glow which they are emitting. It is indeed from
Almighty Allah, but it is through the blessings of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

38
Murshid e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that the brightness and the radiance
which you are seeing in the moon, the sun and the stars, is in fact the
glow and radiance which has been blessed to them from the Pure
Radiances and Manifestations of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

It must be noted that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫أﹷﻧ ﹷﺎ ﹻﻣ ْﻦ ﻧ ﹹ ْﻮرﹻاﷲ ﹻ‬

‘I Am From The Light (Noor) of Allah’

Thus, it is obvious that there is nothing in the creation that is more


radiant and there is nothing glowing brighter than the Noor of the
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

What Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is trying to explain to us, is that we
as humans become so astonished and are so taken aback by the
radiance and beauty of the full moon, the intense brightness of the
sun when it is at its zenith, and the glittering of the stars on a clear
night, and there is no doubt that the full moon, the sun at its zenith
and the stars twinkling in the sky are all so beautiful and beneficial to
us.

However, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us, we should
understand that, if they are so beautiful and they are so bright and
radiant, and if they are so beneficial, then think about how beautiful,
how blessed and how radiant the Blessed Countenance of the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is, for the Moon, the Sun and the Stars are not
glowing by their own light, but they are glowing through the blessings
of the Noor of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and it is His ‫ ﷺ‬Manifestations which
are causing them to glow so brightly and radiantly.

39
So, we are being told that when the sun emits so much of light in the
day, that it brightens the entire earth, then what can be said about
Him ‫ﷺ‬, Who is the ‘Sun Which Brightens’ and ‘The Brightest Lamp’,
which even gives radiance to the sun.

Therefore, Hazrat Rabi’ Bint Mu'awwidh ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬. said,

‫ﻟ ْﹷﻮ ﹷرأﹷ ْﻳ ﹷﺘ ٗه ﹷرأﹷ ْﻳ ﹷﺖ ﹽﹷ‬


‫اﻟﺸ ْﻤ ﹷﺲ ﻃﹷﺎﻟ ﹷﹻﻌ ﹱﺔ‬

‘If you had seen him, it is as if you saw the sun rising.’ [Anwaar ul
Qur’an with ref to Daarmi and Mishkaat]

It Is mentioned in the Hadith of Tirmizi that Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
said, He was so beautiful that it seemed like the sun was revolving in
His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Face.

Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer explains this beautifully. He


says, Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬did not say that His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Face
was like the sun, but what he meant was, that it seemed as if the sun
was lost in the Radiance of His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Face, and even the sun
does not appear to be as bright as the Radiant Face of Rasool e
Akram ‫ﷺ‬. This was the condition of the Blessed Face of The Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

From this, we can understand better, what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said in this couplet, when he explains that the moon, the
sun and the stars are indeed glowing, but they would not have been
able to glow this brightly, had they not attained the Blessed
Manifestations and Rays of the Noor of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

40
This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also the reflection of a
couplet which his noble forefather Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle
Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wrote in the world renowned Qasida Me’rajiya, wherein
he said,

Wohi To Ab Tak Chalak Raha He, Wohi To Joban Tapak Raha Hai
Nahaane Me Jo Gira Tha Paani, Katore Taaroñ Ne Bhar Liye Thay

Upto Now The Splashes of Sacred Droplets Are Flowing Within Them
By This Sparkling Beauty, They Have Indeed Been Anointed

During His Blessed Ablution, As These Sacred Droplets Trickled


In Their Pure Hollow Bowls, The Stars Generously Collected

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us in
veiled manner, that when the sun, the moon and the stars are not
able to glow without the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, then how is it possible for
us to be successful here and in the hereafter without the Wasila of
our Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬. He is telling us that if we wish to glow here and,
in the hereafter, then we should become the true slaves at the
Sacred Feet of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

TO PARADISE HE MAY GIFT YOU ADMISSION

OUR NABI IS THE TOTAL LEGISLATOR; WHATEVER HE ‫ﷺ‬


GIVES TO WHOMSOEVER, IS HIS DISCRETION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining another important Aqida of the Ahle
Sunnat. Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is reminding us that whatever
we have received and whatever we will receive is through the Sadqa
and the Blessings of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

We are being taught in this couplet that there is no doubt that our
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬has been blessed with such Grand Authority by
Almighty Allah that He ‫ ﷺ‬may give what He ‫ ﷺ‬Wills to whomsoever
42
He ‫ ﷺ‬Wills. In other words, Almighty Allah has granted such power
and authority to Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬that he may grant whom He ‫ﷺ‬
wishes authority over the kingdoms of the earth and He ‫ ﷺ‬may grant
Jannat and the bounties of Jannat to whomsoever He ‫ ﷺ‬wishes. This
has been proven numerous times, and The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬gave
glad tidings of Jannat and admission into Jannat to whomsoever He
‫ ﷺ‬wished and He ‫ ﷺ‬also announced this for whomsoever He ‫ﷺ‬

wished.

An example of this is the glad-tidings to the Asharah Mubash-sharah.


The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬admitted them into Paradise whilst they were
still on earth.

‫ف ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﹷر ﹹﺳﻮ ﹹل اﷲﹻ ﺻ�� اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴه وﺳﻠﻢ أﹷﺑﹹﻮ ﺑﹷ ْ�ٍ �ﹻي ا ْﻟ ﹷﺠ ﹽﹷﻨﺔﹻ‬

‫ا ْﻟ ﹷﺠ ﹽﹷﻨﺔﹻ‬

Hazrat Abdur Rahmaan Ibn Awf ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reported that the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬said, Abu Bakr is in Jannah, Umar is in Jannah, Uthman is in
Jannah, Ali is in Jannah, Talha is in Jannah, Zubair is in Jannah, Abdur
Rahmaan Ibn Awf is in Jannah, Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waq'qas is in Jannah,
Sa'eed Ibn Zaid is in Jannah and Abu Ubaidah Ibn Al Jar'rah is in
Jannah. [Tirmizi Shareef]

Not only did the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬Bless Jannat to His Sahaba e Kiraam
�‫��� ج‬ ‫ ر ض� ض‬but He ‫ ﷺ‬even blessed Jannat to Ustuwaan e Hananah, the
‫وان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي �م ا �� ين ضن‬

Dry Date Palm.

43
This is because the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬had been blessed by Almighty
Allah with Distinctive Authority.

In other words, the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬has been granted the power of
being the total Grand Legislator and He ‫ ﷺ‬may rule and command as
He ‫ ﷺ‬sees fit.

In this couplet, Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that our Nabi
‫ ﷺ‬has been blessed with such distinctive authority that He ‫ ﷺ‬may
give and take as He ‫ ﷺ‬wishes, and at the same time, we as the
Ummah are commanded to take what He ‫ ﷺ‬gives (i.e. commands)
and abstain from whatever He ‫ ﷺ‬forbids.

Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is portraying in this couplet that which is
in accordance with the command of the Holy Qur'an. Almighty Allah
says:

‫ۚ ﹷو ﹷﻣﺎ ﻧ ﹷ ٰہٮﻜﹹ ْﻢ ﹷﻋ ْﻨ ﹹہ ﻓﹷﺎﻧ ْ ﹷﺘ ﹹہ ْﻮا‬


�‫ﹷو ﹷﻣ ۤﺎ �ﺗٰٮﻜﹹ ﹹﻢ اﻟﺮﹽﹷ ﹹﺳ ْﻮ ﹹل ﹷﻓﺨ ﹹﹹﺬ ْوہﹹ‬

And Whatever The Beloved Rasool Gives, Take It, And Whatever He
Forbids, Abstain From It. [Surah Hashr (59), Verse 7]

In other words, take whatever the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬bestows upon


you, and keep away from that which He ‫ ﷺ‬forbids you.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in fact telling us that we should
remain as mendicants at the Sacred Feet of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for He
‫ ﷺ‬has the authority to grant you whatever you wish.

44
An example of this is the well-known narration of Hazrat Abu
Hurairah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. He says,

‫ﹹﻗﻠ ﹹْﺖ ﻳﹷﺎ ﹷر ﹹﺳﻮ ﹷل اﷲﹻ إ�ﹻ�ي أﹷ ْﺳ ﹷﻤ ﹹﻊ ﹻﻣﻨْﻚﹷ ﺣﹷﺪﹻﻳ ﹱﺜﺎ ﹷﻛﺜﹻ� ﹱ�ا أﹷ ْ� ﹷﺴﺎ ﹹه‬

I Said, Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬I Hear Many Ahadith From You, But I Am


Unable To Remember Them (i.e. I forget them all).

In other words, Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬told the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬
that he would hear the Ahadith e Mubaaraka from the Most Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in abundance, but would forget all of that which he
heard. In other words, Hazrat Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
mentioned this predicament of his to the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

The Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬said to him,

≈‫ا�ْ ﹹﺴ ْﻂ رﹻ ﹷدا ﹷء ﹷ‬

Spread Out Your Mantle (Sheet)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضن‬says,

‫ﻓ ﹷﹷﺒ ﹷﺴ ْﻄ ﹹﺘ ﹹه‬

I Spread It (The Mantle) Out

In other words, the Sahabi Hazrat Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬

(immediately adhered) and spread out his shawl.

45
Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said,

‫ﹷﻓ ﹷﻐ ﹷﺮ ﹷف ﺑ ﹻ ﹷﻴ ﹷﺪﻳْهﹻ ﺛ ﹹ ﹽﹷﻢ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﹹﺿ ﹽﹹﻤهﹹ‬

He ‫ ﷺ‬Held His Blessed Hands Together (As If Placing Something


Into The Mantle). He ‫ ﷺ‬Then Said, Gather It!

Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said,

‫ﹷﺿ ﹷﻤ ْﻤ ﹹﺘ ﹹه ﻓ ﹷﹷﻤﺎ ﹷ� ﹻﺴ ﹹ‬
‫ﻴﺖ ﹷﺷ ْﻴﺌﹱﺎ �ﹷ ْﻌ ﹷﺪ ﹹه‬

I Gathered It (As Per His ‫ ﷺ‬Command) And Never Did I Forget


Anything Thereafter. [Bukhari Shareef]

Explaining this, Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad'dith e Kabeer Qibla says, not


only did he remember the Ahadith that he heard from the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, but he never forgot anything related to the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. In other words, He never forgot a single word, or the
eloquence, or the manner in which it was said. This means that
Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬remembered the slightest details and
everything else about what he heard.

It is this Powerful and Distinctive Authority and Total Grand Power of


Legislation which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining in
this beautiful poetic couplet. He is re-affirming our Aqida and
teaching us that the true believers are those who believe that the
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬has been blessed with this Distinctive and Grand
Authority and Grand Power of Legislation. In other words, no matter
what you ask for, the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬will give it to you if He ‫ﷺ‬
wishes.

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

DAAGH E ISHQ E NABI LE CHALO QABR MEIÑ


HAI CHARAAGH E LAHAD ROSHNI KE LIYE

THE SPOT OF THE NABI’S ‫ ﷺ‬LOVE,


TAKE TO YOUR GRAVE, WELL PROTECTED

THROUGH THIS GLOWING LAMP OF LOVE,


YOUR GRAVE WILL BE ILLUMINATED

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that it is the ‘Spot of The Love of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ’ﷺ‬which will truly benefit us in our graves, as this love is
the means of true radiance and salvation.

We all know that the grave is a very dark and constricted place. We
are all aware of the condition in the grave, and the lonely situation
therein. Every Muslim is anxious about his or her time in the grave.

To better understand this, think about how lonely and restless you
feel when in a room which is completely dark and small, and when
you are unable to find a way to brighten it.

47
We all know that until we remain in this darkness, we are troubled
and fearful, and the only consolation is to have some light enter, so
that the darkness fades away.

Now, keeping this worldly situation in our minds, we should think


about the condition in our graves. It is a dark, constricted place with
no sign of light at all. We will be placed in our graves and all our
beloveds will cover us with soil and then leave, so that they may
continue with their lives as usual. We will be left completely alone in
the grave in that moment. We will not be there for only a minute, an
hour, a day or a week, but we will be there until Qiyaaamat comes,
and until we are raised by the Command of Almighty Allah, on the
day of Resurrection.

It is this which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in fact
reminding us about, in the veil of this couplet, and without
mentioning the darkness etc. in an open sense, he is presenting the
solution for this time in our graves. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی‬
‫ ال�ہ � ننہ‬is telling us that the solution to the darkness of the grave is to take

with us the ‘Spot of The Love of The Beloved Rasool ‫ ’ﷺ‬to our
graves.

He is telling us to fill our hearts with the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for
it is this love, which will become ‘A Lamp of Radiance’, which is so
bright that it will illuminate our graves. He is telling us that this spot is
not just any spot, but it is the Lamp of Love, and it is this Lamp of The
Love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬which will keep our graves bright. So, Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is encouraging us to fill our hearts with
Ishq e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and to take with us this ‘Spot of Love’ in our
graves. However, if we truly wish to take with us this Radiant Spot
and Lamp of Love, we must protect it. So, how do we protect this
Spot of Love, so that we may take it with us into our graves?

48
The answer is simple, we should remain firm on the path of Truth,
which today is known as Maslak e Aala Hazrat.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬himself says, In Maslak e Aala
Hazrat, the greatest and most important thing is the Love for
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and the other important thing in Maslak e Aala
Hazrat is that the one who is not for the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, is not
for us, and we should have no relationship to any such person.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬also says, This is what Maslak e Aala
Hazrat is. It is the spot of the Prophet’s Love that we will take with
us into the dark grave. It is His ‫ ﷺ‬love and His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Name
that will be beneficial and helpful to us. This is the Imaan of those
who believe that Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and His ‫ ﷺ‬Companions and Family
and the Awliya of His ‫ ﷺ‬Ummah are our helpers (Aids), and when
the time comes for us to travel from this world into their hereafter,
then too, they will be of assistance to us.

It must also be noted that in this couplet, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
is also presenting a manifestation and reflection of a couplet written
by his noble forefather Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam e Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in
which the great Imam said,

Lahad Me Ishq e Rukh e Shah Ka Daagh Le Ke Chale


Andheri Raat Suni Thee Charaagh Le Ke Chale

In The Grave, The Spot of The Love of


My Master’s Face, I Took With Me

Into The Dark And Silent Night,


A Glowing Lamp I Took With Me

49
This couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in fact being explained by
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in his couplet.

It also shows that Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is indeed the heir to
the knowledge, wisdom and piety of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and if
we wish to understand Aala Hazrat Imam e Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and his
works, we should do so in the shade of the teachings of Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

KAA’BE KO KIS NE BANAAYA QIBLA


KAA’BE KA KAA’BA ROO E MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

WHO MADE THE HOLY


KAA’BA, THE SACRED QIBLA?

THE KAA’BA OF THE KAA’BA IS


THE SACRED FACE OF MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

Attempted Explanation: In the first line of this couplet, Huzoor


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is asking a question, and then he
personally responds to it in the second line, with a very beautiful
response.

He is asking, who made the Holy Kaa’ba the Qibla? In other words,
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying this to remind us that
the Holy Kaa’ba became the Qibla through the Blessings of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and the Kaa'ba became the Kaa’ba due to His ‫ ﷺ‬Love for
the Kaa’ba and His ‫ ﷺ‬Love for Makkah, and it became the Qibla
through the pure wish of the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

51
In the second line, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬then presents
the response in the words of love by saying that, the Kaa’ba of the
Kaa’ba is the Sacred Face of Nabi Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬, and in
saying this, he has presented the response to the question in the first
line of the couplet, that being, that when the Sacred Face (i.e. the
Countenance of Nabi ‫ )ﷺ‬is the Kaa’ba of the Kaa’ba, then most
certainly the Kaa’ba became the Qibla through His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessings.

It must be further noted that the Baytul Maqdis was the original
Qibla, and the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬initially faced the direction of
Baytul Maqdis when performing Salaah and this was regarded the
Qibla.

According to many narrations, Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬performed Namaaz facing


Baytul Maqdis while in Madina for either sixteen or seventeen
months.

However, for the pleasure of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬Almighty Allah


commanded that the Kaa’ba should be regarded as the Qibla.

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Qur’an,

‫اﻟﺴ ﹷﻤ ٓﺎء�ﹻ ﹷﻓ ﹷﻠﻨﹹ ﹷﻮ ﻟﹽﹻ ﹷي ﹽﹷﻨ ﹷ‬


‫ک ﻗ ﹻ ْﺒ ﹷﻠ ﹱﺔ ﹷﺗ ْﺮ ٰﺿٮ ﹷہﺎ‬ ‫ﻗ ْﹷﺪ ﻧﹷﺮٰي ﹷ� ﹷﻘ ﹽﹹﻠ ﹷﺐ ﹷو ْﺟہ ﹻ ﹷ‬
‫ک �ﹻي ﹽﹷ‬

We are Seeing You repeatedly directing Your Face towards the sky,
so surely We will turn You towards that Qibla (Direction), with
which You are pleased. [Surah Al Baqarah (2), Verse 144]

In the commentary of this verse, Sadrul Afaadil Allama Sayed


Na’eemud’deen Muradabadi Alaihir Rahma says, Sayed e
Aalam ‫ ﷺ‬preferred for the Kaa’ba to be made the Qibla, and in
expectation of this, Huzoor ‫ ﷺ‬would turn His ‫ ﷺ‬Holy Face towards
52
the sky (i.e. look towards the sky). It was due to this, that this verse
was revealed, and while in the state of Salaah, The Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬turned towards the direction of the Kaa’ba, and the
Muslims also turned towards this direction with Him ‫ﷺ‬. This proves
that Almighty Allah wants the pleasure of Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and the Kaa’ba was made the Qibla, due to (i.e. for)
the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. [Khaza'in ul Irfan]

This, thus proves two important points, one being that the Kaa’ba
was made the Qibla through the Blessings of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and
the other being that Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is indeed the Kaa’ba of the
Kaa’ba, because all the Believers are directed towards the Kaa’ba and
the Kaa’ba is admiring the Sacred Face of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

It is also well known that during the Blessed Birth of Nabi


Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬the Holy Kaa’ba bowed in the direction of the Blessed
Home of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and this is what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also portraying in this couplet.

In other words, even the deviants are being told, that you argue
about the Grandness of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and about Him ‫ ﷺ‬being a
Wasila (intermediary), but you fail to see that the direction to which
all the Believers turn in Allah’s Ibaadat, is even through the Sadqa of
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, so why then will it be wrong to present Him ‫ ﷺ‬as a
Wasila in the Court of Almighty Allah, when He ‫ ﷺ‬Himself is the
Wasila through which the Holy Kaa’ba became our Qibla?

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has refreshed and
strengthened our belief that indeed the Greatest in Allah's Creation is
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and His ‫ ﷺ‬Nobility is even more Exalted
than the Holy Kaa’ba.

RAB’BI SAL’LIM WOH FARMAANE WAALE MILAY


KYUÑ SATAATE HAIÑ AY DIL TUJHE WAS-WASE

KAUN KEHTA HE PA-OOÑ PHISAL JAAYEGA

O ALLAH LET THEM PASS WITH


PEACE, I FOUND HIM SAYING,

SO WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED O’ MY


HEART, BY MALICIOUS WHISPERING

WE WILL PASS OVER THE BRIDGE


OF SIRAAT, ECSTATICALLY SWAYING,

WHO SAID THAT OUR FEET


WILL BE SLIPPING & SLIDING?

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about the Day of Reckoning and Pul Siraat,
which is the Bridge on the Day of Reckoning, over which we will all
have to cross. We all know well that the Pul Siraat is a Bridge which is
54
over Hellfire. Huzoor Sadrush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬explains this by saying, The
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬will be the first to cross the Pul Siraat, followed

by all the Ambia and Mursaleen ‫ ي���م �����م‬, thereafter followed by the
Ummat of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and then the Ummats of all the
other Prophets.

Huzoor Sadrush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬further says, One will pass over Pul
Siraat as per his deeds. Some will pass over with the swiftness of
the flash of lightning. Some will pass over like wind travelling at
high speeds. Some will pass over as fast as birds whilst others will
pass over with the speed of a fast horse. Some will pass over with
the speed of a running man whilst others will do so dragging
themselves on their bottoms. There will also be those who will pass
over as slow as ants.

Huzoor Sadrush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬then says, There are two massive iron
rods with curved ends like hooks on either side of Pul Siraat. They
will seize whomsoever they have been commanded to seize. Some
of those seized will be severely wounded, but will still manage to
cross over Pul Siraat, whilst others will be plunged by them into the
fire of hell. Whilst all will be struggling to pass over Pul Siraat, our
pure master, the intercessor for the sinful, Hazrat
Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬will be waiting on the other end of Pul Siraat
praying for his Ummah to pass safely. He will be saying, Rab’bi
Sal’lim, Sal’lim. In other words, ‘O Allah grant them safe
passage.’ [Bahaar e Shariat, Volume One]

After reading the above, we would have understood well about what
a worrying and terrifying moment this is for every person, when he or
she will have to walk over Pul Siraat. However, in this couplet, Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is addressing his heart and he is saying to
it, yes, I am aware of the difficulties and the apprehension on that
day, but O’ my heart there is no need to be troubled, for there I will

55
find the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬on the other side of Pul Siraat, making
Dua for the safety of His ‫ ﷺ‬Ummah, by saying, ‘Rab’bi Sal’lim’.

So, when the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is there making Dua and presenting
a plea for us to pass over with safety and with peace, then O’ my
heart why are you so troubled and why are you allowing yourself to
be troubled by the malicious whispering (i.e. the evil whispering of
Shaitaan), because our Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is the Most Beloved of
Almighty Allah and He ‫ ﷺ‬will be there, making Dua for the safe
passage of His ‫ ﷺ‬Ummah. So, O’ my heart! Be confident, for in the
entire creation, the word of none other is more accepted than the
words which come from the Blessed Lips of Our Aaqa ‫ﷺ‬.

Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬then says in the next line that, we are
those who will pass over the Bridge of Siraat swaying ecstatically in a
state of ‘Wajd’ (i.e. in spiritual ecstasy, not even paying attention to
anything else except the Dua of the Beloved Nabi ‫ )ﷺ‬and we will not
slip or slide on the bridge, but we will pass in the state of Wajd, and
we will be in this state of Wajd because we will be drowned in the
Dua and the Beauty of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, Who will be waiting for
us on the other side of Pul Siraat.

Therefore, O’ my heart! Live with Imaan and die with Imaan and keep
away from the thieves of Imaan, and we will surely be deserving of
the Dua of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬on that day, and we will cross over the
Bridge of Siraat in ecstasy and in the profound love of our
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and through the Special Aid of the Dua of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬,
for in reality, it is not us who will be crossing, but it is the Dua of the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬which will take us across towards His ‫ ﷺ‬Mercy,
and to enter us into Holy Paradise.

One other point to note in this couplet is the conviction which


Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has in the words of his noble
56
forefather Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬because his
noble forefather Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
had already mentioned in one of his poetic couplets the same thing
which Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is replicating in his own words.
Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said,

Raza Pul Se Ab Wajd Karte Guzariye


Ke Hai Rab’bi Sal’lim Sada e Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬

Ecstatically Swaying, O Raza! Pass Over The Bridge Of The Hereafter


For ‘O Allah Let Them Pass With Peace’ Is The Plea Of Muhammad

In other words, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said the same thing, and
used the word ‘Wajd’ because he has so much of confidence in the
words of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and this is not only because Sayyidi
Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is his noble forefather, but it because he truly
regards Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬The Imam of the Ahle Sunnat and as
the great Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and the Imam e Ishq e Muhabbat.

In other words, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah’s ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬confidence is through


the blessings of his forefather. In other words, it is as if he is saying,
when Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said that we should not be concerned
and pass over in ‘Wajd’, then your Akhtar Raza is conveying the same
message to his heart and to the Ahle Sunnat, so that we all realise
that our passing is due to ‘Rab’bi Sal’lim’ and not due to our own
efforts in trying to cross the Bridge of Siraat.

Subhaan’Allah! This is ‘True Love’ and this is what is meant by,


‘Following in the Footsteps of the Pious’. Learn from Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬how to hold firmly to the way of the Pious Predecessors
here and in the hereafter.

MADINA AA GAYA, AB DEYR KYA HAI, SIRF ITNI SI


TU KHAALI KAR YE DIL KA GHAR, MADINA AANE WAALA HAI

MADINA HAS COME, NOW WHAT’S LEFT?


FOR WHAT ARE YOU STILL WAITING?

SWIFTLY EMPTY YOUR HEART’S RESIDENCE,


MADINA IS APPROACHING

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying a beautiful message to the true lovers of
the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

When one looks at this couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬with
the eyes of true love, and when one listens to it with the ears of his
heart, then he will notice that the great Aashiq e Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has written this couplet while in a state
of deep spiritual ecstasy. He is speaking to his own heart, while
reflecting the message of love upon the hearts of every Aashiq e
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. He is saying, you have been waiting restlessly to visit the
Sacred City of Madina and now Madina Shareef has finally come. You
58
have journeyed so far and throughout your journey, you looked for
only one thing. All you looked for is Madina Munawwarah.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then saying to his ecstatic
heart and to the hearts of all the true lovers of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, when you finally reach the boundary of the City of Light
and you know that you are now approaching the Grand Entrance of
Madina Shareef, then you should divorce yourself from all the vices
and all the thoughts of this world and you should empty your heart
from the thoughts, the love and the feelings for everyone and
everything else.

In other words, you should completely vacate the chambers of the


heart, so that only Madina and the love for the Master of
Madina ‫ ﷺ‬becomes embedded in your heart, and so that your heart
becomes completely absorbed in the love of the Beloved Master of
Madina ‫ﷺ‬.

There is also an important message in this to all of us who are living


in this modern day and age, and to those of us who are lost in our
phones and in our devices, even while entering the Holy City of
Madina, and sadly more-so, it is a reminder to those who shamelessly
pose to take pictures in the Holy Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, knowing
well that this is forbidden and severely disliked by the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching us a great lesson of
love here, and in a state of spiritual ecstasy, he is speaking to his own
heart and to the hearts of all of us, and in doing so, he is saying, what
are you waiting for and why are you so absorbed in the world?
Swiftly empty your hearts, for the Holy City of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is here.

59
He is saying that this heart has been the residence to so many things,
so now swiftly clear this heart, and let it only be the residence of
Madina, for if Madina resides in your heart, then the Master of
Madina ‫ ﷺ‬will reside in your heart.

Subhaan’Allah! This is the profound love which Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has for Madina Shareef, and for the Master of
Madina ‫!ﷺ‬

If one looks at this couplet in a more spiritual sense, then it can also
be interpreted to mean that, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
saying that, be it physically or spiritually, and no matter where you
are, if you truly love the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and you spend your
nights and days remembering Him ‫ ﷺ‬sincerely, then keep your heart
pure and keep it free from wrongs and detach it from the vices of the
world and detach it from the deviants, and you will see that when an
Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬reaches this degree of grand excellence, and he
becomes accepted in the Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬then even before
he enters Madina Shareef, the City of Madina will enter his heart, and
when this happens and when he finally physically journeys to Madina
Shareef, his heart will enter into such a state of spiritual ecstasy, that
apart from Madina Shareef the heart will recognise nothing else, and
this is why he is saying, keep your heart pure and do not delay and
waste your time in the vices of the world and in the love of the
worldly entities which will all perish, but rather absorb yourself in the
love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

In other words, he is saying, keep your heart pure at all times, but
when you finally do arrive in Madina Shareef, then once again remind
yourself to empty the heart and prepare it swiftly, for when Madina
enters the heart, it will glow with the love of the Master of
Madina ‫ ﷺ‬and it will become fragrant with the most beautiful
fragrance in the universe, and that is the fragrance of the love of the
60
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. This is because there is no place on earth more
beautiful and more blessed than Madina Shareef, for in it resides
Allah's Most Beloved ‫ﷺ‬. To enter into a more profound state of
spiritual ecstasy, observe this beautiful couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which the Great Imam says,

Kham Ho Gayi Pusht e Falak Is Ta'ane Zameeñ Se


Sun! Ham Pe Madina Hai Wo Rutba Hai Hamaara

The Back of The Sky Caved In, As The Earth


Sarcastically Made This Assertion

Listen! Upon Me Is Madina,


Such Is My Exalted Position

Therefore, whenever you present yourself in Madina Shareef or


wherever you may be, if you desire to turn your heart into the City of
the Love of The Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, then keep it pure and free from the
evils and vices of this materialistic world, and Madina Shareef will
enter your heart and your heart will most certainly become, ‘The City
of Love’.

WHERE MERCY IS ALWAYS DESCENDING,


WHERE MERCY RAINS DOWN IN ABUNDANCE

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬once again, while being absorbed in the profound love
of, The Greatest in Allah's Creation, The Light of the sun and the
moon's Illumination, The Eradicator of grief, anxiety and oblivion, The
One Blessed with the Most Exalted Station, He ‫ﷺ‬, Whose Nation is
the Greatest Nation, before Whom even the trees fell into
prostration and the rocks embraced His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred Foot's Impression,

62
He, Whose Manifestation is The Greatest Manifestation, In Whose
Eyes, Nabi Moosa ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬saw Allah Almighty's Manifestation, Through
Whose Noor, The Angels Fell before Nabi Adam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in prostration,
by Whose Radiance The Ark of Nabi Nooh ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reached Its Station,
Whose Most Noble Family Are The Ark of Salvation and through
Whose Radiance, A Luminous Star of Guidance is His ‫ ﷺ‬every
Companion, The Grand Leader and The Grand Master of The entire
creation, Who has been Blessed with the Banner of Praise and
Admiration, The Only One, In Whose Sacred Hand, Is The Key To
Intercession, He ‫ﷺ‬, Who Will Guarantee our Salvation, Whose
Radiance will transform the darkness of our graves, into Fountains of
Illumination, my and your Beloved Nabi Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa
‫ﷺ‬, The Master of Our Intercession, is expressing his yearning and

wish to once again see the blessings of the Blessed City and The Holy
Surroundings of Madina Shareef.

In doing so, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not only asking to
see Madina Shareef, but he is asking to see the Special Blessings and
the Special Radiance of Madina Shareef, because he is saying, O
Allah! Show me Madina Shareef but show me it’s Special Blessings
and Radiances as well, for Madina Shareef is not just any place or just
any city, but it is that Most Blessed Station, where day and night
Mercy descends abundantly, and where not only Mercy descends,
but it is that beautiful place where the oceans of Mercy are flowing
continuously.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that,
there is no place in the universe where Allah's Mercy and Blessings
descend more than it descends in Madina Shareef, for there, is
resting Almighty Allah’s Most Beloved ‫ﷺ‬, Who is the Mercy unto the
Worlds ‫ﷺ‬.

63
If one reads between the lines, it is being said that the Mercy is
descending endlessly in Madina Shareef, and thus, Madina Shareef is
The Grandest Treasury of Mercy. In other words, this is the Most
Exalted Court of The Mercy unto the Worlds ‫ﷺ‬. Here, descends
Allah's Special Mercy, and from here the Mercy unto the worlds
distributes this, Mercy. So, day and night, upon the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬
the Mercy of Allah is descending, and the Grand Distribution Station
of Mercy is this Sacred Court of Mercy.

This is why the Great Mountain of Knowledge, Shaykh Muhaq’qiq


Shaykh Abdul Haq Muhad’dith Delhvi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says, The Sacred Portion
of the Sacred Grave of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬which is directly
connected to His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred Body, is even more exalted than the
Holy Kaa’ba and the Arsh.

By the Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
mentioning the Merciful Radiance of Madina Shareef, he is also
telling us that when we enter Madina Shareef, we should be
conscious of where we are, and we should know that we are at the
Most Exalted Station in the Universe, where day and night the Special
Mercy of Allah descends.

Allah bless us all with being respectful in Madina Shareef and grant us
life in the True Love of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and death with Imaan when He Wills,
in Madina Shareef, with a place in the Sacred Baqi e Paak. Aameen.

UN PE MARNA HAI DAWAAM E ZINDAGI


MAUT SE PHIR KYUÑ NA ULFAT KIJIYE

DEATH IN HIS TRUE LOVE,


BRINGS LIFE WITHOUT REMISSION

WHY THEN SHOULD WE NOT LOVE DEATH,


WITH COMPLETE SUBMISSION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that if one passes away in the love of Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and if one sacrifices himself in the love of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, then this death in reality, is his gateway to a never-ending
life. In other words, if in the true love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬a Believer
sacrifices everything, then, even after death, he will be alive.

Another interpretation here is that, dying in His ‫ ﷺ‬love or dying


upon Him ‫ﷺ‬, means that if a person lives his life in this world in such
a manner, that he strives to follow the Commands of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬with

65
complete devotion, and if he makes every effort to live in accordance
with the Sunnah, then it means, he is doing everything to please the
Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and it is clear from the Holy Qur'an and the Ahadith
e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬that the one who obeys the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is the
one who truly obeys Almighty Allah.

Almighty Allah says in the Holy Qur’an:

‫ﹽﹷﻣ ْﻦ ﻳﹹ ﹻﻄ ﹻﻊ اﻟﺮﹽﹷ ﹹﺳﻮ ﹷل ﹷﻓ ﹷﻘ ْﺪ أﹷﻃﹷﺎ ﹷع اﻟ ﹽﻠ ﹷه‬

Whosoever Obeyed The Command of The Rasool; Verily He Has


Obeyed The Command of Allah [Surah An-Nisa (4), Verse 80]

The best way to understand this, is to look at the lives of the Sahaba

e Kiraam ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج���ن نين‬and to observe how they were always ready to
sacrifice everything in the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and upon the
Command of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

A splendid example of this is Hazrat Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ‬
‫� ننہ‬, who was willing to sacrifice his life in the Cave of Thaur, when the

snake had bitten him. Another glowing example is that of Maula Ali ‫ر ض�ی‬
‫ ال�ہ � نن ہ‬who let the sun set at Sahba but did not bear to disturb the

Blessed Rest of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬. Further is the example of the grand Martyrs
of Islam, regarding whom the Holy Qur'an says,

‫ﹷوﻻﹷ ﹷﺗ ْﺤ ﹷﺴ� ﹷ ﹽﹷن اﻟﹽﹷ ﹻﺬ ﹷ‬


‫ﻳﻦ ﹹﻗﺘﹻﻠﹹﻮاْ �ﹻي ﹷﺳبﹻﻴ ﹻﻞ اﻟ ﹽﻠهﹻ أﹷ ْﻣ ﹷﻮا ﹱﺗﺎ ﺑﹷ ْﻞ أﹷ ْﺣ ﹷﻴﺎء‬

And Do Not Even Think of Those Who Have Been Slain (Martyred) In
The Way of Allah To Be Dead, But They Are Alive. [Surah Aale Imran
(3), Verse 169]

66
Now, the question which comes up here is, what made them give
their lives in the Way of Allah? It was, in fact, their profound love for
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and so Almighty Allah promised them a never
ending life, and this is why we believe that the Shuhada (The Martyrs)
are alive.

It is our Aqida that, Hazrat Siddique e Akbar Is Alive, Hazrat Farooq e


Azam is Alive, Hazrat Uthman Zun-Noorain is Alive, Hazrat Ali e
Murtadha is Alive, and through them, Ghaus, Khwaja, Raza, Haamid,
Mustafa, Taajush Shariah and all the Beloveds of Allah (Allah is
pleased with them all) are alive.

As for those who cannot see this, then such people are dead in the
real sense, while those who die in His ‫ ﷺ‬love, are blessed with a
special life, and this is why Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
saying, when dying in His ‫ ﷺ‬love gives one an endless life, then why
should those who desire this, fear death? Rather, they are amongst
those, who love death, for death is the bridge, which takes the
Beloved towards the Beloved.

Once, whilst on a journey, Hazrat Ma’ruf Shah Khushaabi ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬ was
confronted by bandits.

Assuming that he had riches with him, the bandits killed him and
then drowned him in the Jahlam River. When the bandits went a bit
further away, they found him standing alive on the other side of the
river. On seeing this, all of them immediately repented and
mended their ways.

67
This incident is an indication to the verse of the Holy Qur’an,

‫ات ﺑﹷ ْﻞ أﹷﺣْ ﹷﻴﺎء‬


ٌ ‫ﹷوﻻﹷ ﹷ� ﹹﻘﻮﻟﹹﻮاْ ﻟ ﹷﹻﻤ ْﻦ ﹹ� ْﻘ ﹷﺘ ﹹﻞ �ﹻي ﹷﺳبﻴ ﹻﻞ اﻟ ﹽﻠهﹻ أﹷ ْﻣ ﹷﻮ‬

And Do Not Say Those Who Have Been Slain In The Way of Allah To
Be Dead, For They Are Alive, But You Are Unaware. [Surah Al
Baqarah (2), Verse 154]

Hazrat Ibn Umar ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reported that, On returning from Uhud,
Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬stopped at the graves of Hazrat Mus’ab bin Umar ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضن‬
and his companions. He ‫ ﷺ‬said, I bear witness that, By Allah! You Are
Alive. O People! Meet with them and convey Salaams to them,
because they reply (to you), until Qiyaamat. [Sharhus Sudoor of
Imam Suyuti]

This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also the reflection of a
couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wherein he
says,

Naseeb e Dostaañ Gar Un Ke Dar Par Maut Aani Hai


Khuda Yuñhi Kare Phir To Hamesha Zindagaani Hai

To All My Friends, It Will Be Our Good Fortune,


If Death Ever Comes To Us At His Sacred Station

If Almighty Allah Grants Us, This Ambition,


Then We Shall Attain A Life of Eternal Salvation

TAAROÑ KI ANJUMAN MEIÑ YE BAAT HO RAHI HAI


MARKAZ TAJAL’LIYOÑ KA KHAAK E DAR E NABI HAI

IN THE GALAXY OF THE STARS,


THERE IS THIS CONVERSATION

THE DUST OF THE COURT OF THE NABI,


IS THE SOURCE OF ILLUMINATION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting a reflection, wherein he is reflecting on
what would be the conversation amongst the stars, when they are
discussing amongst themselves, in the Galaxy of Stars, regarding their
radiance and their glitter. In other words, he is speaking about the
Galaxy of The Stars and the Grandness of the Sacred Dust of The
Mubaarak Court of The Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

This can be understood from two different perspectives. One is the


apparent perspective (sense) of the couplet and the other is the
hidden and spiritual perspective of the couplet.
69
In the first sense of the couplet, which is the apparent one, Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, a conversation is taking place in
the Galaxy of the stars, and all the stars have come to a conclusion
that the origin and the source of their radiance and glow, and the
origin, of the glow in everything, even in the skies, is through the
blessings of the Sacred Dust of The Majestic Court of The Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is portraying this conversation to
show that the stars are probably looking at their own glitter and glow
and then looking at the Sacred Dust of the Holy Court of Nabi Kareem
‫ ﷺ‬from the sky, and thereafter concluding that, the Sacred Dust of

the Majestic Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is indeed more radiant than
the glow in the stars and in the skies, for on that Sacred Dust is
resting the greatest of Allah's Creation, Who is the Noor of Almighty
Allah, so when that Sacred Dust which is connected to His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred
Body is more exalted than the Arsh, and when the Noor of the
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is the means to the creation, then indeed the stars
are concluding that, the source of Illumination for them and for
everything, is the Sacred Dust of His ‫ ﷺ‬Majestic Court.

Hazrat Jaabir ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬once respectfully enquired from the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬May my parents be sacrificed upon
you. What is the first thing which Almighty Allah created before
everything else?

The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬replied, O Jaabir! Undoubtedly, before


creating anything else, Almighty Allah created the Noor of your
Nabi from His Noor. [Mawahib ul Laduniyah Shareef, Sharah
Dalaa’il ul Khayraat Shareef]

70
So, based on this, the closest thing to be connected to the Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is
the Sacred Dust of the Majestic Court of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and hence it is most
radiant and even more radiant than the stars, and hence the stars are
saying that the Sacred Dust of The Majestic Court of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is the
source of their radiance and Illumination.

If we look at the second sense of this couplet which is a hidden one,


it can be interpreted to mean that the Beloved and Chosen Servants
of Allah, such as the Awliya, are the Stars which are being mentioned
and the Galaxy which is being discussed is the Galaxy of the Awliya,
and all the Awliya are glowing in this Galaxy of Wilaayat and all of
them, while glowing, are having a conversation amongst themselves,
wherein they are concluding that they have attained this Radiance of
Wilaayat and are glowing on the spiritual horizon through humbling
themselves at the Sacred Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and that the origin
of their Illumination is the Sacred Dust of the Majestic Court of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

I must say here that the second sense is one which can be attributed
to this couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬at a greater
level, for Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says with confidence in this
couplet, that the stars are having this discussion and conversation in
the Galaxy of The Stars.

I must ask, how is he so sure of this conversation? The answer is clear


to the lovers. Akhtar means star and we know he is not an ordinary
star, but he is one who glows in the Galaxy of the Stars of Wilaayat,
and hence he is confidently mentioning the conversation of the
Awliya in the Galaxy of Wilaayat, as he too, is a star in that Galaxy,
and he is thus aware of the conversations which take place there.

71
So, even though in the apparent sense the stars in the sky are
mentioned, it can be interpreted in the spiritual sense as well, for all
the Beloveds are glowing through the blessings of the Sacred Dust of
The Majestic Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

This couplet can also be interpreted to mean that Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about The Galaxy of Stars in the sky
and while doing so, it seems that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
is saying that when you look at the stars in the sky on a very clear
night, you will see the stars twinkling and glittering brightly, and it is
this twinkling of the stars which captivates our eyes, as their beauty is
in their radiance and in their twinkling.

However, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also saying that the
stars are in conversation. From this word conversation, I have
understood that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is basically
telling us that when these stars are twinkling, then to our eyes they
are twinkling (and no matter what the scientific reasons may be),
spiritually, this twinkling which we are seeing is not just twinkling, but
it is the conversation of the stars.

He then says, that the conversation which they are having is about
the Sacred Dust from the Grand Court of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬,
because we stand on earth and are able to see the stars glowing in
the sky, but from the sky, the stars are able to see the Sacred Dust
Particles of Madina Shareef glowing even brighter than them, and
thus the stars are saying to one another that, this brightness which
we have attained, is through the Sacred Dust of Madina Shareef, for
it is there, that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is Resting, and it is He ‫ﷺ‬, Who
is the Source of all the Illumination, and even the glow which is found
in the stars. This is the other apparent sense of this couplet.

72
However, by the Karam of Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬I have understood a few more interpretations to this
couplet, which unveil some of the secrets which are veiled in the
poetry of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

If we look at this couplet from a greater and deeper perspective, then


we will have to first look at a couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,
wherein Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Kya Khabar Kitne Taare Khilay Ch’hup Gaye


Par Na Doobe Na Dooba Hamaara Nabi

Who Knows How Many Stars Glowed & Hid Away Secretly!
But The One Who Neither Set, Nor Will Ever Set, Is Our Nabi ‫ﷺ‬

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is referring to The

Ambia e Kiraam ‫ ي���م �����م‬as ‘The Stars’. In other words, they are the
Glowing Stars of Nubuw’wat. Now, if we keep this couplet in mind
and now look at the couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,
we will further understand the hidden sense of the couplet.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that in

The Grand Galaxy of the Ambia e Kiraam ‫ ي���م �����م‬all the Ambia e Kiraam
���
‫ ي �م �����م‬are conversing amongst themselves, and they all believe that

whatever Blessings and Brightness they have received, and even their
Grand Excellence, is all through Imam ul Ambia Muhammadur
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and they all believe that the Source of this Radiance
and Illumination which they have, is through Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, Who is
in Madina Shareef, and thus they too honour and revere the Sacred
Dust of The Sacred Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬for on it is the Grand
Palace of Their Master ‫ﷺ‬.

73
Another interpretation which can be understood from this couplet is
that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫اﺻﺤﺎ�ي �ﺎﻟﻨﺠﻮم ﺑﺎﻳهﻢ اﻗﺘﺪﻳﺘﻢ اهﺘﺪﻳﺘﻢ‬

My Sahaba Are Like Stars. You Will Be Guided, No Matter Which


One of Them You Will Follow. [Fataawa Razviyyah Shareef With
Reference to Al Mizaan ul Kubra]

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah’s couplet is also telling us that



through the Blessing of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, after the Ambia e Kiraam ‫ي���م‬
‫�����م‬, these are the Brightest Stars amongst the people, and even in the

Galaxy of the Sahaba e Kiraam ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج��� ين ضن‬all of them have always said
and continue to say that, all their radiances are through the Sadqa of
Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and thus every one of them honoured Madina
Shareef and they respected the Sacred Dust of the Sacred Court of
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

THOSE DETACHED FROM THE NABI, REMOVE


FROM YOUR HEARTS, WITHOUT HESITATION

SACRIFICE UPON HIM, YOUR FATHER, MOTHER


AND BROTHER; YOUR LIFE & YOUR FORTUNE

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying to us the most important message. In other
words, he is telling us that, those who are not true to the Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and
those who slander and try to belittle the Grand Eminence of The
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬are not ours, no matter who they may be.

75
In other words, be they our parents, our children or anyone else. The
moment they become deviants or support and promote the deviants,
we should immediately distance ourselves from them, for the safety
of our Imaan is in this.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching us
about true love for the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. The best explanation of
this couplet can be found in the blessed words of Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬which he personally mentioned. The Grand
Shaykh himself says, The greatest and the most important thing in
our Deen is the true love for Rasool e Akram ‫ﷺ‬. The great benefit
and great blessing in this, is when the one who truly falls in love
with the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in this world, loves the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in such a manner, that he keeps his connection and
relation only to the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and to those who love the
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. In other words, he keeps his connection to the
Sahaba of The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and through this, he keeps a
special connection and attachment to the Awliya e Kiraam; but at
the same time, he does not keep any connection and association
with anyone, who is not loyal to the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. In other
words, he disassociates from the company of those who are not
truly connected to the Beloved Rasool e Akram ‫ﷺ‬.

In view of his above statement, we can understand the meaning of


this couplet, and we can understand from this, that Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is emphasising and explaining the sign of true
love, and he is telling us how one will know if he truly loves the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and how he will be able to identify those who
truly love the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

He explains that the great blessing which a person attains when he


truly falls in love with the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is that he loves the
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬in a way whereby he keeps himself attached and
76
connected at all times to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and in doing so,
he attaches himself to the Beloveds of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, for in
doing so, the true beauty of his love for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬starts
to glow.

In other words, this connection and attachment should be to the



Noble Sahaba e Kiraam ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج���ن ضين‬and to the Awliya e Kiraam. This is
why in this couplet he is saying that those who have Imaan must
keep away from the deviants, because when a person loves the
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and he loves those who love the Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, he must
detach himself and break all ties with anyone who is disloyal to the
Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

In other words, he should detach himself from all the deviants and
those who are the sympathisers of the deviants, like the Sulhe Kullis
(the agents of unholy unity) of this era. He should regard their
company as detrimental, for this will erode the love which he has for
the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is clearly warning
us about the dangers of keeping ties with the deviants and with the
agents of unholy unity. He is emphasising that we must keep away
from the deviants and from anyone who shows even the slightest
disrespect to the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. He is explaining that we should
not keep any association with them.

In other words, do not sit with them, do not eat with them, do not
visit them, do not marry them, do not pray Salaah behind them and
do not pray Salaah over them when they die, and this advice is in
accordance with the Hadith Shareef and this is how we should handle
the deviants.

77
This is why Sayyidi Taajush Shariah’s noble paternal grandfather,
Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam Hind Ash Shah Imam Mustafa
Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Dushman e Jaañ Se Kaheeñ Bud-tar He Dushman Deen Ka


Un Ke Dushman Se Kabhi Un Ka Gada Milta Nahiñ

Much Worse Than The Enemy of Your Life, Is The Enemy of The Deen
Meeting With His Enemies; His True Servants You Will Never Find

This is the same message of Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam


Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is conveying in
this couplet, and it is this, which is the message of the Deen e
Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬, for true relationship and true association is that of
Imaan and love for Almighty Allah and His Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and
anyone who severs this relationship by way of deviance, is not
deserving of being associated to those who truly love Allah and His
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

In fact, the message in this couplet is the message of the Sahaba e



Kiraam ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج���ن ضين‬who severed their ties with their nearest and
dearest relatives for the sake of the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and they
discarded everything for the pleasure of Almighty Allah and His
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.


It is this same message of the Sahaba e Kiraam ‫ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج���ن ضين‬which
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying in this couplet. In
other words, his message is further emphasised in the second line of
the couplet when he says that we should be willing to sacrifice
everything, be it our parents, our children, our wealth or our lives, for
the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and upon Him ‫ﷺ‬.

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

TAAJ KO KAASAH BANA KAR TAAJWAR KEHTE HAIÑ YUÑ


UN KE DAR KI BHEEK ACH’CHI SARWARI ACH’CHI NAHIÑ

TURNING THEIR CROWNS INTO BEGGING BOWLS,


THE KINGS ARE ANNOUNCING THAT,

BEING A BEGGAR AT HIS COURT IS GOOD;


ROYALTY IN COMPARISON IS NO GOOD

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining how blessed the mendicants of the Court of
the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬are.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that, the Kings are
those who are proud of their crowns and regard it as their mark of
honour and respect, but when the same kings visit the Court of the
King of Kings, The Greatest and Most Exalted King in Allah’s Creation,
Sayyiduna wa Maulana Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬, then they are humbled and

79
they do not regard themselves as kings there, but they regard
themselves as beggars at His ‫ ﷺ‬Court.

In other words, when the worldly kings present themselves at the


Grand Court of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, they do not wear their worldly
crowns on their heads and they do not regard themselves as royalty,
but they hold their crowns in their hands and lower their heads with
respect and they make that crown which is regarded as a mark of
honour to them, a begging bowl, and it is in this manner that they
come to the Court of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and then when they
receive the Grand Blessings and Mercy of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, they
announce that ‘Being A Beggar At His Court Is Good; Royalty In
Comparison Is No Good’.

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also teaching us a very
important lesson of love and humility. He is teaching us that no
matter how powerful, how wealthy and how influential you may be,
but when you visit the Grand Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, you should
realise that you are a mere mendicant and slave at the Grandest
Court in the universe, and when you go to Madina Shareef and
present yourself in the Sacred Court of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬you should do so with
respect and humility.

It is a famous narrative that when the powerful King Hazrat


Mahmood Ghaznawi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬visited Madina Shareef, he removed his
royal robes and dressed in the garb of a beggar. He slung a leathern
water bag over his shoulder and started to feed water to those
present at the Holy Court. In other words, he tried to conceal his
identity as a king and regarded himself a mendicant. As he passed
water to the pilgrims, a man recognised him and said, are you not
Mahmood Ghaznawi the King? He replied, I am a King, but in Ghazni.
Here, even the kings are mendicants and even kings are humble
beggars.

80
In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is thus telling us
that, when the kings come to the Court of the beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬they
come as mendicants and regard their crowns which is a mark of
respect as their begging bowls, and they too announce that being a
mendicant in the Court of Nabi ul Ambia ‫ ﷺ‬is greater than the
kingship of the world.

In doing so, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is advising us to
always go towards the Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬with humility and
respect and to know how fortunate the true mendicants of the
Sacred Court of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬really are, for even the Kings want to
sacrifice their crowns at His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred Feet. The message of Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in this couplet, is also the reflection of a
couplet of his Noble Grandfather and his Murshid Sarkaar Mufti e
Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. He says,

Mujhe Haath Aaye Agar Taaj e Shaahi


Teri Kafsh e Paa Par Nisaara Karooñ Meiñ

If I Were To Ever Get Hold of The Crown of A King


Upon Your Sacred Footwear, It, I Would Be Sacrificing

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying to us that we should strive to convey to the
world the true message of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, because Sayyidi
Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan
Qaadiri Barakaati Sunni Hanafi Bareilvi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬conveyed the True
Message of Deen e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬while being absorbed in the True
Love of Almighty Allah and His Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

82
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then telling us that, we should look to
the past and turn towards the pious predecessors who are indeed
closer to the Golden Era of The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and we should
convey the message of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬to the people,
because he is a Rose from the Gardens of The Pious Predecessors
from which flows the sweet fragrance of the Love of The Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching us to hold firmly to the
teachings, the rulings and the thinking (ideology) of Sayyidi Aala
Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and he is saying to us, look behind you and refresh your
devotion. In other words, look towards the past and you will see that
the greatest Imams of that time regarded the teachings and Rulings
of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬to be the yardstick for the people.

One such example is that of Hazrat Sarkaar Sayyiduna Abul Husain


Ahmad e Noori ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. Hazrat Sayyid Shah Isma’eel Ahsan
Miyañ Saaheb ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬says that Hazrat Sayyid Sha Abul Husain Ahmed e
Noori Marahrawi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said to me, Son! in this time the sign of
devoutness is that a person who has true love for Maulana Abdul
Qaadir Saaheb Badayouni and Maulana Ahmed Raza Khan Saaheb
should be regarded as a religious and devout person. Know! That
the person who has hatred and animosity to both these
personalities, is either a deviant or he is trapped in the deception of
the deviants. And to whichever ruling you find that they have both
agreed upon unanimously, know that this is a very well researched
ruling and confirmed.

He then says, Sarkaar Noori Miyañ ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬used to also say to me, Son!
This is our constitution and handbook, that the moment Maulana
Ahmed Raza Khan Saaheb confirms any ruling, my heart
immediately becomes content upon it.

83
Subhaan’Allah! Sarkaar Noori Miyañ ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is from amongst the Grand
Masha’ikh of Marahrah Shareef and the Murshid e Kaamil of Ghaus ul
Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. What a beautiful view he has
about Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

Here, I must say that Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬did not only
encourage and command us to convey the Message of Sayyidi Aala
Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, but he personally spent his entire life doing so, and was a
practical example of this. He did not move even an inch from any
ruling or teaching of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and he directed his
attention towards the works of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬with
complete sincerity, and he always shared that which was as per
Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. One example of this is that Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬once stated,

When it comes to the translation of the verses of the Holy Qur’an, I


am extremely cautious. Even though I have the ability to translate
the verses of the Holy Qur’an, I do not present the translation of the
verses in my own words, and I have always made arrangements to
use the translation of Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬for I have seen that in the
style of (the translation) of the verses of the Holy Qur’an and in the
style of the Tafseer, it is unique, and in it, the true manner of
Respect and Honour for Almighty Allah and His Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is flowing,
and there is complete consideration given to the Aqida of the Ahle
Sunnat (in it), and wherever the literal (apparent) translation of the
word causes the slightest negative outcome to the Aqida of the
Ahle Sunnat, then at such a place, he (Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ )ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬does
not translate the actual word, but he proceeds by presenting an
explanation (of that word). This is why I always insist on using Kanz
ul Imaan and I encourage people to do the same, and that they
should read and study Kanzul Imaan carefully and if possible, with
it, they should look at (compare) the translations of others as well,

84
and when they do this, they will be able to observe the beauty and
the individuality present in Kanz ul Imaan.

This couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah’s ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also the
reflection of the message of Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam e
Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he said,

Muhy e Sunnat, Haami e Mil’lat, Mujad’did Deen Ka


Paykar e Rushd o Huda Ahmad Raza Milta Nahiñ

The Reviver of The Sunnah, The Hope of


Society, That Reformer of The Deen

Ahmed Raza, The Epitome of Guidance


And Righteousness, We Cannot Find

We must all strive with sincerity, to follow the blessed message of


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬which he taught us in this couplet and
which he taught throughout his life.

EVERY ROSE IN THE ROSE GARDEN


ATTAINED ITS FRAGRANCE

FROM HIS BLESSED PERSPIRATION,


WHICH IS THE GARDEN’S ESSENCE

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is speaking about the Sacred Perspiration of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and while doing so, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
mentioning something which we all know well. In other words, he is
saying that all the flowers in the flower gardens are fragrant, but
here, he is mentioning this in a different sense. He is telling us why all
the flowers in the garden are fragrant. In this couplet, the flowers are
being mentioned in a general sense, but in the specific sense, the
most beautiful flower of every garden, which is the rose, is being
implied.

86
This couplet is one which causes the hearts of the Aashiqaan e
Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬to blossom with the Love of The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬,
causing the hearts to become fragrant gardens of Ishq e Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬.

It is well known that the ‘Rose’ is known as the Queen of the flowers
and the most beautiful and the most fragrant in the garden. Even
here, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is implying that the entire
world knows that roses are the most fragrant and the most beautiful
flowers, and that they are exclusive in their fragrance, but then
Murshid e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that, let me tell you how these
roses became so fragrant.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that every flower in
the flower garden is indeed fragrant, but the roses have a special
fragrance, and they are regarded as the flower amongst flowers, and
this is because these roses attained their fragrance through the
Blessed Perspiration of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, for He ‫ ﷺ‬is the
Essence and Soul of every garden.

Subhaan’Allah! This is the why the rose is so elegant and fragrant,


and this is why it is known as the most beautifully scented flower. He
is emphasising that this is all through the Blessings of the Sacred
Perspiration of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

The Blessed Perspiration of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is so exclusive that


Hazrat Sayyiduna Imam Abu Nu’aim ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reported that Ummul
Mo’mineen Sayyidatuna A’isha Siddiqa ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض���ا‬said, The Blessed Beads
of Perspiration on the Sacred Face of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬glittered like pearls
and were more fragrant than musk.

Now, the question which arises here is that, did Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬just say that the roses are so beautifully fragrant
because they have been blessed by the Sacred Perspiration of Nabi
87
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, in reality, or is this just his way of showing his immense
love for the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and him saying this in a universal
manner, because every blessing is indeed through Rasoolullah ‫?ﷺ‬

The answer to this is that it is in both the first and the second sense.
In the second sense, it is indeed true that every blessing is through
the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and it is also in the first sense. In other words,
the roses are indeed augmented by the Sacred Perspiration of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

Shaykh Muhaq’qiq Shaykh Abdul Haq Muhad’dith e Delhvi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has
presented a beautiful discussion on this topic. To explain this couplet
and to prove that when the Masha’ikh write Religious Poetry, every
couplet is fragrant and glowing either in the light of The Qur’an or the
Hadith, or in the glow of the thoughts and the spiritual aspirations of
the pious predecessors, I will present here some narrations.

It has been mentioned in some Ahadith e Mubaaraka that the rose


was created from the Sacred Perspiration of Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

It is mentioned in one narration that Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬said that, During


My Return From Me’raj, A Drop of My Perspiration Fell Upon The
Earth And From It A Rose Was Created, Whomsoever Wishes To
Smell My Fragrance, He Should Smell A Rose.

It is further mentioned in another narration that Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬said,


When A Single Drop of My Perspiration, Fell Upon The Chest Of The
Earth, The Earth Chuckled Ecstatically And Began To Blossom With
Roses.

It is in Mawahib ul Laduniyah from Abul Farah Nahrwaani ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬that


whatever has been mentioned in these Ahadith e Mubaaraka are all
only a single drop from the Mercy and the Blessings of
88
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and even though this one drop is so vast, it is still
very little compared to that which Almighty Allah has granted His
Most Compassionate and Most Merciful Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

After reading the above narrations, one would now be able to better
understand this couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and
one would be able to appreciate the true spiritual beauty and the
true spiritual fragrance of this couplet which Sayyidi Taajush Shariah
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has penned in the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, Who is indeed The

Essence and The Soul of every garden, and this includes the Gardens
of Paradise.

So, whenever you and I smell a rose, we should remember our


Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and we should recall this beautiful and fragrant
couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

NA SAMAJH MAR’TE HAIÑ ZINDAGI KE LIYE


JEENA MARNA HE SAB KUCH NABI KE LIYE

THE FOOLISH DIE TO ATTAIN THIS WORLDLY


LIFE WHICH WILL BE DISCARDED

WHEREAS LIFE AND DEATH IS FOR THE NABI;


TO HIM EVERYTHING IS ENTRUSTED

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that our life and our death is for the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and in telling us this, he is reminding us that this world is
nothing compared to the Aakhirat (hereafter).

I will attempt to explain this couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬through a discussion presented by Huzoor Sayyidi
Muhad’dith e Kabeer Qibla, wherein he said, Neither is any worldly
wealth nor worldly honour the true wealth and true honour, and
nor is it a means of attaining true honour. Allah’s Beloved

90
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬says, If this world had any worth, even equivalent to the
wing of a mosquito, then Almighty Allah would never have given it
to the unbelievers.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching the
Muslims that this world has no real value and worth and it is
something which will one day come to an end and it will perish like
everything else which perished in it.

This is why our Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬said about this materialistic world, in
comparison to the Hereafter, this materialistic world does not even
have any worth equivalent to the moisture (i.e. the wetness) on the
finger of a person, when he dips it into the largest ocean and then
removes his finger.

On this same discussion, Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer Qibla


says that, Will the slight moisture which appears on the finger when
it is dipped into the ocean cause any shortage in a single drop of the
ocean's water? Will it lessen the ocean's depth or volume in any
way? Did doing this lessen the rising and falling of the tides in
anyway? No! It made absolutely no difference.

From this, we are better able to understand this couplet of Huzoor


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. In other words, the world has no
comparison and value compared to the Hereafter, and in the light of
the Hadith Shareef we are being reminded not to ruin ourselves for
the sake of the world, for the world and everything in it will perish
one day and we will all journey into the hereafter and be presented
for reckoning before our Creator.

We should all remember this important message which is present in


this couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and we should stop
compromising our Deen and our hereafter for the sake of the

91
pleasures of this world, and we should hold firmly to the Sacred
Mantle of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for in reality, our living and our dying are
for the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

We should also keep away from all those who try to divert us from
the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, for the reality is that our life and our death is
for Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and on the day of reckoning we will be
risen by Almighty Allah to answer for our life’s doings. So, we should
hold firmly to Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬here, so that we may rise in
His ‫ ﷺ‬Shade of Mercy, in the hereafter.

TO THE URS OF HAZRAT AMJAD ALI,


LET’S GO WITH DEVOTION

TO ATTAIN THE RARE GIFTS OF AMJAD’S


GREATNESS, LET’S GO WITH DEVOTION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is giving us a beautiful message about going to the Urs
Assembly of the Awliya with devotion.

Here, in particular, he is inviting the Ahle Sunnat to join him to the


Urs of Huzoor Sayyidi Sadrush Shariah, Badrut Tariqah, Huzoor
Sayyidi Qadi Imam Amjad Ali Azmi ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, who is the senior most
Khalifa of Imam Ahle Sunnat Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Ash Shah Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

93
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wrote an entire Kalaam on the
Blessed Occasion of the Urs of Huzoor Sadrush Shariah ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬and this
couplet is the opening couplet of that Kalaam.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wrote this Kalaam a few years
before leaving this physical world, and in this first couplet, he is
encouraging the Ahle Sunnat to attend the Urs of Huzoor Sadrush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬so that they may attain the rare gifts of Huzoor Sadrush
Shariah's ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬greatness and blessings.

The message in this couplet seems very simple, and very easy to
understand. In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
saying, let’s go to Sadrush Shariah’s Urs and attain his blessings.
However, through the blessings of Murshid e Kareem ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, I have
understood that there are also some hidden messages in this couplet,
and in the entire Kalaam, which I would like to share with you here.
The messages hidden in this couplet include:

1. The importance of attending the Urs of Huzoor Sayyidi Sadrush


Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

2. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not only telling us to attend
the Urs, but he is also personally inviting us to attend the Urs Shareef
of Huzoor Sayyidi Sadrush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

3. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wrote this Kalaam just a few
short years before leaving this physical world. It seems as if he was
giving a sign to his devotees that, soon I will depart in the same
month, only a few days after the Urs of Sadrush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, so
before you attend my Urs, come to the Urs of Sadrush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
and attain His blessings.

94
4. There are many blessings of Sadrush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬to attain, when
attending the Urs, but the rare gift that you will attain, is that you will
be in the company of Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer Qibla, who
is the rarest gift and the reflection of the knowledge, sagacity, piety,
integrity, nobility and spirituality of Sayyidi Sadrush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

We should always remember that when the Awliya speak, their


words are sometimes in the form of ‘Spiritual Riddles’ and when we
understand these secrets, it is through their blessings.

This couplet is indeed a treasure of secrets from the pen of Huzoor


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he speaks about the excellence
of Huzoor Sadrush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, by directing the Ahle Sunnat towards
the Urs of Huzoor Sadrush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬while announcing his own
departure from this world.

KHULD WAA HAI, HAR EK QAADIRI KE LIYE

TOWARDS HOLY PARADISE,


AKHTAR THE QAADIRI HAS DEPARTED

FOR EVERY SINGLE QAADIRI,


HOLY PARADISE IS UNBOLTED

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that, Akhtar the Qaadiri has gone towards
paradise.

In other words, while still on this earth, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is confidently saying that, Akhtar the Qaadiri has gone
towards paradise. In other words, he is confident that he has already
been allocated a place in Paradise. How is Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬saying this with such confidence?

96
The answer to this is in the second line of this couplet, wherein
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that Holy Paradise is
wide open for every Qaadiri.

In actual fact, the Yaqeen and the confidence of Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that he is destined for Jannat, and that he has
been allocated a place in Jannat, is not because he is Taajush Shariah,
The Grand Faqih, or because he is Taajush Shariah, the Imam of this
era, or because he is Taajush Shariah, the Rose of Huzoor Hujjatul
Islam and Huzoor Mufti e Azam, or because he is Taajush Shariah, the
Successor of Mufassir e Azam, or because he is Taajush Shariah, the
Representative of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat, or because he is Taajush
Shariah, the Muhad'dith or because he is Taajush Shariah, the
Mufas’sir or because he is Taajush Shariah, the Grand Murshid of the
Era, or because he is Taajush Shariah, the Karaamat of Imam Ahmed
Raza or because he is Taajush Shariah, the Ja-Nasheen (The Heir &
Successor) of Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind.

Rather, he regards himself destined for Jannat, because he is a true


Qaadiri and therefore he says that Jannat is wide open for every
Qaadiri, because Huzoor Ghaus e Azam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has implied that he will
not enter Paradise without admitting his true disciples into Jannat.

Hence, Murshid e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, O Akhtar Raza! Jannat is
open for every true Qaadiri, and since you are Akhtar the Qaadiri,
you have already been allocated your place in Jannat. In saying this,
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is inspiring and encouraging us to
strengthen our connection to Huzoor Ghaus e Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, so that
Jannat will also welcome us with open arms.

Who are the true Qaadiris? They are those who are Sunni Sahihul
Aqida and those who are truly absorbed in the love of Almighty Allah
and His Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and those, who when they hear the Grand

97
Name of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, send Durood and Salaams in abundance
upon Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬especially on a Friday, as they ecstatically
convey Durood and Salaams upon Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

Hazrat Anas ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reported that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬said, The
One Who Recites 1000 (One Thousand) Durood Upon Me On A
Friday Will Not Die Without Seeing His Final Place In Jannat.

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying to himself that it is
through the blessing of being a Qaadiri, O Akhtar Raza, that you are
destined for Jannat.

In this couplet, there is also a hidden message. In other words,


Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was informing us, that soon he
will depart from this world and enter his Heavenly Abode in the
Shade of Huzoor Ghaus e Azam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

MAIÑ BHI GUZRA HOOÑ DAWR E ULFAT SE


MAT SUNA MUJH KO PYAAR KI BAATEÑ

I TOO HAVE JOURNEYED THROUGH THE CYCLE OF LOVE


ABOUT WHAT IS LOVE, DO NOT GIVE ME YOUR EXPLANATION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is taking us into the profound depths of love and
unveiling secrets of love, and the condition of one who goes through
trials in the love of the Most Beloved ‫ﷺ‬.

From the manner in which this couplet has been written, one is able
to see that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has written this
couplet and the entire Kalaam which this couplet is part of, in a state
of deep spiritual ecstasy.

This couplet can be interpreted in numerous ways and the


interpretation depends on the one interpreting it to the best of his
understanding. I have understood from this couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi

99
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that he is saying to the one who is trying to
explain to him about what love feels like, and to those who are trying
to define love to him, that do not give me an explanation and do not
tell me about what love is.

In other words, you do not have to give me a lecture or a definition of


love, for I have already gone through this cycle and this test of love.
Whatever you are trying to explain to me, I have already gone
through, and I have personally experienced the path of love.

It seems as if he is saying that, for those who are telling me about


what love feels like, let me tell you, there is no need for you to go
into such depths to explain what you think love is or to try and
explain love to me, for I have personally experienced this path of love
and I am already one who is yearning in the love of Madina and in the
love of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and I am he, who has gone through the
trials and tribulations of true love.

In other words, it seems as if Hazrat is saying that, I am that person


who was deprived by the evil Saudi regime from visiting the Court of
my Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬as I waited to focus my eyes on His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred
Raudha, but because I refused to pray Namaaz behind those heretics,
and because I regard them as deviants, they deprived me of Haaziri,
and during that journey they sent me home without allowing me to
visit the Court of my Master ‫ﷺ‬.

It is as though Sarkaar e Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is further saying, in


those days, I passed through that cycle and that test of love, which
you will not be able to understand.

It caused me such sadness and such grief in the love of my


Master ‫ ﷺ‬that if this grief of mine were to be placed on a mountain,
then the mountain would have quavered and trembled.

100
Therefore, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says in another one of
his Kalaams:

Furqat e Madina Ne Woh Diye Mujhe Sadme


Koh Par Agar Parte Koh Bhi To Hil Jaata

Being So Far Away From Madina, Caused Me Such Grief & Pain
If It Were To Fall Upon A Mountain, It Would Tremble Under Strain

So, it feels like Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling those
who talk to him about love, that you are telling me about love based
on your knowledge and what you know, and I am telling you that I
have already experienced this love personally. In other words, Hazrat
is saying that, I already know what it feels like to yearn in the love of
Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and till this day I am still yearning.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is politely saying
to those who speak about love, and only make claims of love, that
speaking about love is one thing and truly loving is something else.

In other words, he is saying, you are talking to me about love, but I


have gone through that cycle and that stage of love, which I cannot
even explain to you, for you will not understand this love unless you
are from amongst those men of the heart (mystics) who have gone
through that which I have experienced. This can be further
understood from the couplet which follows in this Kalaam, in which
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Ahl e Dil Hee Yahaañ Nahiñ Ko-ee


Kya Kareñ Haal e Zaar Ki Baateñ

Here There Are No Mystics, Who Understand The Heart


So What Can I Mention About My Aggrieved Condition!

101
Therefore, from what I have understood, Huzoor Sayyidi wa Murshidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in this initial couplet, is telling those who are
speaking about the love of Madina Shareef and the love for the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬that, yes I am sure you are claiming this love and
you are speaking about this love sincerely, but you need to truly
experience this love, and if you wish to cherish it in the true sense,
and if you claim true love, then you should be willing to sacrifice
everything for this love, and you need to refute and stand firmly
against the deviants in the most difficult circumstances, and then
only will you truly know what true love is, and only then will the claim
of love be true.

So, it seems that in this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
is speaking about the love for Madina Shareef and the profound love
for Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and he was doing this whilst in a state of deep
spiritual ecstasy. This interpretation is also evident from the closing
couplet of this Kalaam wherein Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
says:

Har Ghar’ee Wajd Me Rahe Akhtar


Kijiye Us Dayaar Ki Baateñ

OF THE EXALTED ARSH, YOU ARE

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about the Grand Excellence and the Beauty
and Radiance of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and The Noor e
Muhammadi ‫ﷺ‬. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting a
very important discussion in this couplet. He has gathered the ocean
into a goblet in this one beautiful couplet. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has brought the history of man and the means for the
honour of mankind into one couplet.

103
If I were to explain this briefly, it could be said that the Father of
Mankind is Nabi Adam ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬and he is thus known as Abul Bashar, and
He is the first man (human-being) and He was created from dust,
and, in reality, dust is something which generally is not regarded as
having grand value.

However, the fact that Almighty Allah created the ‘First Man’ from
dust means it is indeed valuable, but it is the kind of value, which is
not realised by every person. This is because when one looks at dust,
he only sees dust and simply says, this is dust, but it is undisputed
that the ‘First Man’ was created from dust. This which Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is mentioning here, is a reflection of what
Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said in this beautiful couplet of his:

Ham Khaak Haiñ Awr Khaak Hee Maawa Hai Hamaara


Khaaki To Wo Aadam Jade Aa’la Hai Hamaara

Dust We Are, And It Is This Dust Which Is Our Destination


Created From Dust Was Adam, The First Ancestor of The Human Nation

In order to, grant true honour and a greater value and excellence to
this dust, Almighty Allah placed in this mixture of dust and in the
physical mould (body) made from dust, the most valuable and the
most splendid creation, which is the means to every creation. In
other words, Almighty Allah placed in it, the Noor of Nabi
Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬. Therefore, it is mentioned in the Hadith
Shareef that Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫أﹷ ﹽﹷو ﹹل ﹷﻣﺎ ﹷﺧﻠ ﹷﹷﻖ اﷲﹹ ﻧ ﹹﻮرﹻي‬

Almighty Allah First Created My Noor

104
From this, it is evident and as bright as day, that Huzoor Sayyid e
Aalam ‫ ﷺ‬was in existence even before the physical body of Hazrat
Adam ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬was created, and even then He ‫ ﷺ‬was a Nabi. This is why
it is mentioned in the Hadith Shareef,

‫ﹹﻛ ْﻨ ﹹﺖ ﻧﹷب ﹻ ﹱﻴﺎ ﹷو ا ﹻ ﹽﹷن آدﹷ ﹷم ﻟ ﹹﹷﻤ ْﻨ ﹷﺠﺪ ٌﹻل �ﹻي ﻃﹻ ْي ﹷﻨﺘ ﹻه‬

I Was A Nabi Even Then, When Adam


Was Still A Blend Between Sand And Water

From this it is understood that, to enhance the value of dust and to


grant dust a special excellence, Almighty Allah placed in it, the Noor
of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and when this Noor of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬was
placed in Hazrat Adam ‫��يي ه �����م‬, then this Noor became the ‘Spiritual
Garb’ and the Honour and the Beauty of this dust, and it became so
exalted and so honourable that Almighty Allah commanded all the
Angels to prostrate before it, and this is where shaitaan faltered and
only regarded Hazrat Adam ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬as a body made from dust, but what
he failed to see is that the Garb and the Honour of this ‘Body of Dust’
was the Noor of Nabi Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬who is the Beauty and Honour
of dust. Therefore, shaitaan regarded himself superior and
disrespected Hazrat Adam ‫��يي ه �����م‬, thereby disrespecting the Noor of
Nabi Muhammad Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and in doing so, he committed the
worst crime and became eternally cursed. This was a brief
explanation of that historical discussion.

In this couplet, it seems that this is what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us. In other words, he is telling us that Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is the Garb and the Honour of Dust, and He ‫ ﷺ‬is The
Pride of Dust, and that mankind has received such excellence from
the time of Abul Bashar ‫��يي ه �����م‬, because of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, Who is the
reason for this grandness of mankind.
105
Further, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us in the
second line of the couplet, that do not think that He ‫ ﷺ‬is only the
Honour and the Garb and the adornment of dust and mankind, but in
fact, there is nothing which is truly beautiful and honourable without
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, to the extent that He ‫ ﷺ‬is even the embellishment
and the Splendour of the Exalted Arsh.

Therefore, in his Qasida Me’rajiya Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Azeem ul


Barkat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully said:

Zia-eñ Kuch Arsh Par Ye Aa-ee,


Ke Saari Qindeeleñ Jhil-mila-eeñ

Huzoor e Khursheed Kya Chamakte,


Chiraagh Munh Apna Dekhte Thay

Such Radiant Illuminations Graced The Exalted Arsh,


That All The Luminous Lamps, Flickered And Suffocated

In The Presence of The Sun, How Could They Possibly Glow,


The Lamps Looked At Themselves, Simply Fascinated

In other words, when the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬alighted at the Arsh and
when the Arsh humbled itself before Him ‫ ﷺ‬in its profound love, the
entire Arsh was lit up (i.e. it was glowing) as expected. However, this
glow was not really from the Arsh itself or from the chandeliers of
Noor which are all around the Arsh, but this glow and brightness was
from the Noor of the Beloved Nabi Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬.

The beauty and the embellishment and the Radiance of the Arsh is
indeed Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and this is the message which Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying in this couplet.

106
He is telling us that, from the time of the creation of ‘The First Man’
and ‘The Father of Mankind’, the beauty and the adornment right up
to the heights of the Arsh, is The Noor of our Beloved Nabi Hazrat
Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that,
While The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is The Garb, The Honour, The Beauty,
The Radiance, The Adornment and The Embellishment of dust, He is
also The Garb, The Honour, The Beauty, The Radiance, The
Adornment and The Embellishment of The Exalted Arsh.

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

KYA MADINE KO ZAROORAT CHAND KI


MAAH E TAIBAH KI HE HAR SOO CHAANDNI

WHAT NEED DOES MADINA HAVE


FOR THE MOON’S REFLECTION

EVERYWHERE IS THE MOON


OF MADINA’S MANIFESTATION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is mentioning the Radiance and Brightness of The Grand
City of Light, which is indeed Madinah Shareef.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us about how Bright and
how Radiant Madina Shareef is. He is telling us that at night, the only
light which gives true radiance, and that light which gives true
beauty, is the light and the glow of the moon.

108
Thereafter, he is telling us that, no matter how dark a night it may be
in Madina Shareef, there is really no need for the Moon, for in reality,
Madina Shareef is never dark, for even the darkness of Madina
Shareef is light, for this is indeed The City of Light, it is Al Madinatul
Munawwarah.

This is a fact. You will witness this when you go to Madina Shareef,
that even on the darkest night, Madina Shareef is glowing. Its nights
are radiant like its days and its days are radiant like its nights. The
night sky of Madina Shareef has an amazing matchless glow, and why
should it not be so, when seventy thousand Angels descend over it in
the morning and seventy thousand Angels descend over it in the
evening, forming a ‘Canopy of Light’.

Hence, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that, this is
not any ordinary place or ordinary city we are talking about, but we
are talking about the City of Light and Radiance, We are talking about
Madina Shareef. So, what need will Madina Shareef have for a moon,
when the entire Madina Shareef is glowing and Radiant because of
the Radiance and the Manifestations of the Brightest Moon in the
entire Universe, and that is the ‘Moon of Madina’, Who is our
Beloved Nabi Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

He is That Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, Who is the ‘Light of Almighty Allah’ and He ‫ ﷺ‬is
resting in Madina Shareef, so Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
saying that what need is there for the Moon in Madinah Shareef,
when the entire Madina Shareef is glowing through the
Manifestations of The Moon of Madina?

If we read between the lines, it seems that Murshid e Kareem Huzoor


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that it is not Madina Shareef
which needs a Moon, but it is the Moon which needs Madina
Shareef, and it is the Moon which needs the Moon of Madina ‫ﷺ‬,

109
because the Moon does not rise over Madina Shareef to give light,
but it rises over Madina Shareef to beg for the charity of light, for the
Moon too receives its radiance and glow from Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and
this Moon comes to Madina Shareef to make Ziyaarat of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and to pay its respects at the Greatest Court of Light in
the Universe.

So, do not think that Madina Shareef needs the Moon, but it is the
Moon which indeed needs Madina Shareef, and Madina Shareef does
not depend on the Moon to be bright, but the Moon depends on the
Moon of Madina’s ‫ ﷺ‬Manifestations to spread its light over the
entire world.

In other words, in a secretive manner here, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us in the second line of this couplet that, not
only is Madina Munawwarah glowing through the Moonlight of the
Moon of Madina ‫ ﷺ‬but the entire world, night and day, glows
through the Radiance of the Moon of Madina ‫ﷺ‬, for the Moon of the
sky comes to Madina Shareef to receive its share of light and then it
shares this light which it took from Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and shines it over the
entire world, so the entire world glows at night through the
Manifestations of the Moon of Madina ‫ﷺ‬.

It must be further noted that, The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is indeed


brighter than the Moon and brighter than every lamp of this world. It
is in the Hadith Shareef that Hazrat Jaabir bin Samura ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

‫ﹷﻋ ْﻦ ﹷﺟﺎﺑﹻﺮ ﹻﺑ ْ ﹻﻦ ﹷﺳ ﹹﻤ ﹷﺮةﹷ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﹷرأﹷ ْﻳ ﹹﺖ ﹷر ﹹﺳﻮ ﹷل اﷲﹻ ﺻ�� اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴه وﺳﻠﻢ �ﹻي ﻟ ْﹷﻴ ﹷﻠ ٍﺔ إ ﹻ ْﺿﺤ ﹷﹻﻴﺎ ٍن ﹷو ﹷﻋﻠ ْﹷﻴهﹻ‬

110
I saw Huzoor e Akram ‫ ﷺ‬once on a moonlit night, adorned in a
reddish (striped) set of clothes. The moon was shining brightly in
the sky and its moonlight was lighting up the earth. I would
sometimes look towards the moon and sometimes look towards
Sarkaar ‫ﷺ‬, to see who was glowing more, and I exclaimed,
According to Me, The Blessed Face of Huzoor e Akram ‫ ﷺ‬Is More
Radiant And More Beautiful Than The Moon. [Shama’il e Tirmizi
Shareef]

When the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬entered Al Madinatul Munawwarah,


what did the youth of Madina recite and what did they announce? It
is mentioned in Fataawa Razviyyah Shareef with reference to
Mawahib ul Laduniyah Shareef that they ecstatically announced:

Taala’al Badru ‘Alaina


Min Thaniy’yaatil Wada’

The Full Moon Rose Over Us


From The Valleys of Wada’

So, when Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said that Madina
Shareef does not need a Moon, for, everywhere and in every
direction are the Manifestations of the Moon of Madina ‫ﷺ‬, then my
Shaykh e Kaamil and this Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬was not only telling us
about the Radiance of Madina, but he was conveying to us the Aqida
(i.e. The Belief) of Hazrat Jabir bin Samura ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and all the Sahaba e
Kiraam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and he was telling us about the Aqida of the Ahle
Madina.

He is telling us that this is the Aqida which is taught in Bareilly


Shareef and this is the Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat, for Hazrat Jabir bin
Samura ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬first spoke about how the moon light was lighting up the
earth, and then he said that even brighter than the Moon was the

111
Sacred Face of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and this proved his Aqida, that the moon
light was overcome by the Radiance of the Face of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

So, if we observe with the eyes of love, we will see that in this
couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting the
annotation and the Sharh of the Hadith of Hazrat Jaabir bin Samura
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and in doing so; he is expressing the Aqida of the Ahle Madina.

SAJDAH E DIL HE SOO E MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

THE PROSTRATION OF THE HEAD IS


IN THE DIRECTION OF THE KAA’BA

THE PROSTRATION OF THE HEART IS


IN THE DIRECTION OF MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting an example of remaining firm on the
Command of the Shari’at, while at the same time, he is allowing your
heart to take the direction of love.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining the
condition of the Ibaadat of a True Believer, and at the same time he
is reminding us of the Aqida of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama’at. It must be
noted that the Badmazhabs (the deviants) try to deceive the laymen
and they try to confuse the unsuspecting Muslims by saying that we

113
worship graves, and that we make Sajdah to Rasoolullah ‫( ﷺ‬Allah
Forbid) and to the Raudha e Mubaarak. The Belief of the Ahle Sunnat
is that which is the foundation of the Belief System of Islam. In other
words, There Is None Worthy of Worship Except Allah,
Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬Is Allah’s Rasool. So, the Sunni Muslims, who are the
true Muslims, make Sajdah only to Allah Almighty.

If the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬were to appear before the eyes of an Aashiq


and if he were to see the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, his profound love says
to him, that he should fall into prostration before the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬out of respect and not with the intention of Ibaadat, but
then he also knows that the Shari’at e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬has forbidden the
Prostration of Respect for anyone. This was permitted in the Shari’ats

of the Past Ambia e Kiraam ‫ ي���م �����م‬, but The Sajdah of Respect is not
permitted in our Shari’at. The only Sajdah which is permitted is the
Sajdah of Ibaadat, which is only and only for Almighty Allah.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that,
no matter how deep your love may be for Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, you cannot
transgress the limitations of the Shari’at e Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬, for true love is
when you hold yourself back from transgressing and strive to be one
who is truly obeying.

Thus, when you are in front of the Holy Kaa’ba, and when you
remember your Creator Almighty Allah, you also remember the
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, through whom the Holy Kaa’ba received the
honour of being the Qibla of our Sajdahs in the Court of Almighty
Allah, for without His ‫ ﷺ‬Love, no Sajdah will be accepted in the
Divine Court of Almighty Allah.

When one looks at the Holy Kaa’ba and he makes Shukr for being
able to stand before the Holy Kaa’ba, and in fact, no matter where he
may be, he knows well, that my Sajdah is in the direction of the Holy
114
Kaa’ba, for the Kaa’ba is the Qibla of my prostrations, but he also
remembers that this is the same Holy Kaa’ba which became the Qibla
because of the wish of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and that, this is the same Holy Kaa’ba
which prostrated towards the Sacred Home of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬upon
His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Birth, but then, he still needs to remember that, the
direction of every Sajdah of the head, is the Holy Kaa’ba, no matter
how much his love overwhelms him.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬then gives the solution to this
situation, and in this couplet, he is basically saying that no Ibaadat is
accepted without the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

When the true Aashiq makes Sajdah, then he knows that the Qibla of
the Sajdah of the head is the Holy Kaa’ba, but he also knows that the
Qibla of the heart is The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, so when your head falls
in Sajdah for the Ibaadat of Almighty Allah, while facing the direction
of the Holy Kaa’ba, the heart falls into prostration in the love of the
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, Who is the Qibla of the Heart and Who is also the
Kaa’ba of the Kaa’ba.

In other words, the command of the Shari’at is being obeyed, while


the love for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is also being displayed. Further, in
this couplet, we learn how Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the
Beloveds of Allah perform their Sajdahs.

They do so with their heads falling in the direction of the Qibla, while
their hearts are falling in the direction of Muhammadur
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬. In this couplet, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also
explaining the couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which Sayyidi
Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

115
Pesh e Nazar Wo Nau Bahaar Sajde Ko Dil Hai Be-Qaraar
Rokiye Sar Ko Rokiye Haañ Yahi Imtihaan Hai

Before Me Is The Radiant One, To Prostrate


Before Him, My Heart Is Yearning,

Restrain Your Head, Hold It Back!


This Is Indeed A Test, Which You Are Facing

This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬can also be understood
as a concise poetic commentary of this couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he says,

Ay Shawq e Dil! Ye Sajdah Gar Unko Rawa Nahiñ


Ach’cha! Wo Sajdah Kijiye Ke Sar Ko Khabar Na Ho

O Yearning Heart, If This Sajdah Is Not Allowed For Him, Let's Improvise
Let’s Perform Such A Sajdah, That Even Your Head Does Not Realise

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining, ‘The Foundation of Life’. In doing so, once
again he is presenting and fortifying the Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat and
reflecting the glowing rays of Ishq e Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is The Foundation of Life and that life has
originated from Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.
117
In saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting an
annotation of numerous Ahadith e Mubaaraka in a short yet dynamic
line of poetry.

To substantiate what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying in
this couplet, I will present here a few narrations:

The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬said, The very first creation which Almighty
Allah created was My Noor. [Tafseer Nishapuri, Tafseer Rooh ul
Bayaan, Madarijun Nubuw’wah]

The Eminent Sahabi e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬Hazrat Sayyiduna Jaabir ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
respectfully enquired from the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, Ya
Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬My parents be sacrificed upon You. What is the
first thing which Almighty Allah created before everything else? The
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬replied, O Jaabir! Undoubtedly, before creating
anything else, Almighty Allah created the Noor of your Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬from
His Noor. [Mawahib ul Laduniyah Shareef, Zarqani Shareef, Sharah
Dalaa’il ul Khayraat Shareef]

It has been mentioned in the Hadith e Qudsi that (Almighty Allah


said), (O Beloved ‫ )ﷺ‬Had I not created You, I would not have
created the universe and I would not have disclosed Me being
Rab’b. [Madarijun Nubuw’wat]

It is mentioned in another narration that Almighty Allah said to


Hazrat Adam ‫��يي ه �����م‬, If it were not for Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬, I would have
neither created you, nor the earth nor the skies. [Suroor ul Quloob]

In another narration it is mentioned, This is why I created You, and


named You Muhammad. From You, is the inception of
creation. [Suroor ul Quloob]

118
Except for these narrations there are numerous other narrations
which prove that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is the ‘First Creation’ and the
means to the creation of the entire universe.

Hence, in this couplet, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that
Huzoor e Akram Noor e Mujas’sam ‫ ﷺ‬is the ‘Foundation of Life’, for
He ‫ ﷺ‬is the First to be created in the form of Light, and from
Him ‫ ﷺ‬came the rest of the creation, and thus He ‫ ﷺ‬is indeed The
Foundation of Life, for Life received Life through the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and thus, the universe and everything in it, is living and
breathing through the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, for the life of mankind and
the entire universe originated from Him ‫ﷺ‬.

Therefore, life itself is saying that the Heart and Soul of Life, is the
Beloved Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬. In other words, whether we hear it or not,
it is an undeniable reality, that the sun, the moon, the stars, the skies,
the earth, the Angels, Hazrat Nabi Adam ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬and all the Ambia e
���
Kiraam ‫ ي �مم �����م‬and all else, have been created by Almighty Allah Alone,
but their existence is by itself announcing that, the life within us is
through the Nabi e Akram ‫ﷺ‬, Who is indeed The Foundation of Life
and The Heart and The Soul of Life and the Most Beloved of Almighty
Allah.

It is simple to understand that when it was said to Hazrat Adam ‫��يي ه �����م‬,
If it were not for Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬, I would have neither created you,
nor the earth or the skies.

Then, it is implying that life itself is a slave at the Court of Nabi


Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and life itself knows and announces that He ‫ ﷺ‬is the
means to the creation of the universe, and one can simply
understand that when Hazrat Adam ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬is being reminded of this by
Almighty Allah, then what can be said about the rest of the creation!

119
So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not only fortifying the
Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat in this couplet, but he is conveying to us,
���
the Aqida of Hazrat Adam ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬and all the Ambia e Kiraam ‫ ي �مم �����م‬and
he is conveying the Aqida of the Skies and The Earth and the Aqida of
the Sun, the Moon and the Stars, and in fact he is presenting the
belief and the Aqida of Life itself.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting the
reflection and manifestation of the couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he says:

Wo Jo Na Thay To Kuch Na Tha Wo Jo Na Hoñ To Kuch Na Ho


Jaan Haiñ Wo Jahaan Ki, Jaan Hai To Jahaan Hai

When He ‫ ﷺ‬Was Not, There Was Nothing,


If He ‫ ﷺ‬Is Not, There Will Be Nothing,

He ‫ ﷺ‬Is The Soul of The Universe,


If The Souls Exists, The Universe Is Existing

MUJHE BATAAWO AZEEZOÑ! KISAY MAMAAT NAHIÑ

WHEN AKHTAR THE ANXIOUS LEFT THIS WORLD,


WHY WERE YOU DEVASTATED

TELL ME O’ MY DEAR ONES, TO WHOM


HAS DEATH NOT COME, UNINVITED

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting a very deep and delicate discussion.

In this couplet, our Murshid e Kareem, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about his journey from this physical world
into the hereafter, long before that day came.

From this it is clear, that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was
even following in the blessed footsteps of the pious predecessors in
this regard, and that he was not in love with this world and the
materialistic entities of this world, but rather, he was continuously
121
preparing for his journey into the hereafter, because the pious
servants of Almighty Allah are always conscious of death and this
manner of theirs, is based on the guidelines from the Ahadith e
Mubaaraka.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is addressing the
moment he leaves this world even before that moment comes, and
he is doing this because the mystics have said, Die before your
death, for the death of a materialistic man gives birth to the
spiritual man.

So, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was always suppressing his Nafs and
reminding himself and us that none will live in this world forever.

Hazrat Abu Dardah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reports, you live for death. You populate
(places) so they become barren and you have greed for that which
will end, yet you do not acknowledge what will remain always.
Listen! There are three things which you regard bad, which are
actually good (for you): Death, Poverty and Illness. [Sharhus
Sudoor]

Hence, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, that when he
passes from this world, why will you all be sad and devastated? In
other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬knew that when he
passes from this world, his beloved family and all his mureeds and
the entire Ahlus Sunnah will be grieving and devastated, and in this
couplet, he is giving all of us solace and saying, why are you all
devastated?

In other words, he is saying that death is not really the end, but for
the true believers it is the beginning.

122
This is why Imam Jalaalud’deen Suyuti ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says, It should be noted
that according to the laymen, death means to perish and this is
incorrect. In fact, the Ulama have mentioned that Death does not
refer to mere non-existence or only total destruction (end). Death is
actually the withdrawal of the soul from the body, and it is merely a
veil that is established between the Rooh (soul) and the body. It is
actually just moving from one home into another home. [Sharhus
Sudoor]

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reported a narration that, ‘You have
been created to live forever. You only move from one house to
another house.’ [Sharhus Sudoor]

Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Amr ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reports that, the world is a prison unto
a Believer and Paradise unto the unbeliever. When a believer
passes away, then his path is opened. He travels to wherever he
wishes in Jannat.

There are similar narrations in Muslim Shareef, Ibn Majah and Jami’
ut Tirmizi etc.

‫ﹷﻋ ْﻦ أﹷ�ﹻي ه ﹷﹹﺮ ْﻳ ﹷﺮةﹷ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﹷر ﹹﺳﻮ ﹹل اﷲﹻ ﺻ�� اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴه وﺳﻠﻢ ﹽﹹ‬
‫اﻟﺪﻧ ْ ﹷﻴﺎ ﹻﺳ ْﺠ ﹹﻦ اﻟ ﹹْﻤ ْﺆ ﹻﻣ ﹻﻦ ﹷو ﹷﺟ ﹽﹷﻨ ﹹﺔ‬

‫ا ْﻟ� ﹷ ﹻ ﹻ‬
�‫ﺎ‬

It Is Reported From Hazrat Abu Hurairah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬That Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬
Said, The World Is A Prison Unto A Believer, And Paradise Unto The
Unbeliever. [Muslim Shareef]

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in this couplet is telling us
that, when I leave this world, then know that even though I have
gone, but I have just gone from one place to another.

123
However, the place to which I have gone, is more exalted than where
I was, but still, do not be aggrieved and know, that everyone has to
pass away one day. In this line of the couplet there is a secret. In
other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, that when
I leave, you will all be sad and grieving, but why are you devastated,
for who is it that death did not visit?

In other words, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that the
devastation and sadness of those who love me will be because of my
separation from you and from this world, but who is it that death
does not come to?

In other words, he is saying that, I have journeyed and like everyone


else you too will one day journey, and thus do not be devastated and
aggrieved, for I have only journeyed before you, and you will journey
after me, and it is our belief that the souls of the believers meet, and
thus our separation is only temporary and one day, when it is the Will
of Allah, you too will journey to where I am, and the separation will
ultimately come to an end.

It is reported in one narration that the people asked, ‘Ya


Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬Do the deceased also speak (converse) with one
another?’ He ‫ ﷺ‬said, ‘Yes, they also meet with one another.’
[Sharhus Sudoor]

Hazrat Sa’eed bin Jubair ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬reported, ‘When a person passes away,
his elders (parents) and his close ones welcome him, and they get
together and become even happier than when someone comes
over (to visit after a long time).’ [Sharhus Sudoor]

So, in this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is reminding
us of death, by foretelling his journey from this world into the
hereafter.

124
Further, by him saying that death will come to all, he is saying that I
will leave before you, but when you do come, then I will be there,
waiting to welcome you into the hereafter.

Subhaan’Allah! How vast are the oceans, which flow in the words of
these pious servants of Almighty Allah! Hold firmly to them and do
not allow this powerful connection to be disrupted.

If this connection is disrupted, we will be deprived of having them


welcome us into the hereafter, and we will be deprived of their
special blessings before we journey into the hereafter.

YAANI HANGAAM E MUSIBAT MUSKURAATE HAIÑ HUSAIN

HUSAIN CAUSES ROSES TO BLOOM


IN THE GARDENS OF SUBMISSION

HUSAIN CAN BE SEEN SMILING IN


THE MOST DIFFICULT SITUATION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is beautifully explaining the patience and the virtue of
Sayyiduna Imam Husain ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

In this, he is discussing the Martyrdom (Shahaadat) of Sayyiduna


Imam Husain ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and at the same time, he is paying tribute to the
numerous members of the Noble Ahle Bayt and many of Imam

Husain’s Noble Companions ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج��� ين ضن‬who were martyred on the
plains of Karbala.

126
In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is more
specifically discussing the patience and perseverance of Sayyiduna
Imam Husain ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. Here, the first line of the couplet has two
meanings; the first is an apparent meaning which means that in the
Garden of Submission and Devotion, Sayyiduna Imam Husain ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
one who causes flowers, more specifically roses to blossom.

In other words, the Garden of Submission is already such a Blessed


Garden, which is already blooming with beautiful flowers, which are
the examples of patience and perseverance, such as Sayyidush
Shuhada Sayyiduna Amir e Hamza ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the Shuhada e Uhud, the
Shuhada of Badr, and those Beloved Companions of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬who stood firmly and patiently when facing the most
difficult adversities and calamities, such as Hazrat Sayyiduna Bilal e
Habshi ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, who would be made to lay on the burning sands of
Arabia and was persecuted, but he would still be patient, submitting
only to the Will and Pleasure of Allah.

Then, there is Hazrat Am’maar Ibn Yaasir ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and his parents Hazrat
Yaasir ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and Hazrat Sumayyah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض���ا‬, who were persecuted by the
Kuf’faar e Makkah, to the extent that Hazrat Sumayyah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬was
made Shaheed by Abu Jahl and she became the first female to be
made Shaheed (martyred), but in all of this, they remained patient
and submitted to the Pleasure of Allah. They are all thus flowers from
the Garden of Submission

So, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, that this Garden is already
in full bloom, with Flowers which exhibited amazing patience, and
then ultimately sacrificed their lives for the Pleasure of Allah, and just
when one thought that this Garden of Submission was full and there
was none who could enter this garden with such levels of patience
and submission, Hazrat Sayyiduna Imam Husain ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬did the
unexpected (in the eyes of the ordinary people).

127
In other words, he caused such Roses of Patience, Perseverance,
Submission and Devotion to blossom, that the Garden of Submission
welcomed his sacrifice with open arms, for he gave such a sacrifice
for the Pleasure of Almighty Allah, that in order to uphold the Flag of
Truth, he sacrificed even his beloved son Sayyiduna Ali Asghar ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
whilst holding him in his arms.

In other words, his level of patience in such a difficult and testing


time was one which was not only causing ordinary flowers to
blossom in the Garden of Submission, but he caused roses to
blossom, and how did he do this?

This is answered in the second line of the couplet. In other words,


Sayyiduna Imam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬smiled even in the face of adversity. Here,
'Smiling' means that he did not complain about the difficulties which
he was facing, but rather, he was pleased with the Will of Allah, and
thus he did not give up, but in such a difficult situation, he stood
firmly and preferred to give his Sacred Head, but he did not give his
hand in the hand of a tyrant who was transgressing the Commands of
The Shari’at.

So, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is painting a beautiful picture in this
couplet, of the patience and the zeal of Sayyiduna Imam Husain ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
and his willingness to remain patient and to submit totally to the Will
of Almighty Allah, and to give his Sacred Head for the pleasure of
Allah, as he smiled upon his destiny (i.e. he submitted to Allah's Will
happily), for he knew that, no matter what he and his Noble Family
faced on the plains of Karbala, they would finally enter Jannat, in the
shade of the Mercy of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and that they would
be blessed once more with the blessed company of Sayyidatuna
Faatima Zahra ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض���ا‬, Sayyiduna Ali Sher e Khuda ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and Sayyiduna
Imam Hasan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

128
The other hidden sense of this couplet is that Sayyiduna Imam Husain
‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, by his patience, caused Roses to Bloom in the Garden of

Submission, meaning those roses which were already in the Garden


of Submission, began to bloom even more as they waited to welcome
him and as they saluted his Shahaadat and the Shahaadat of those
with him.

Thus, when he saw those Roses like Sayyidush Shuhada ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the
other Martyrs Blooming with excitement, he smiled through this
difficult situation, for he was able to see his place in Jannah in the
Shade of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and in the company of the Noble Ahle Bayt and the
Martyrs who had entered this Garden before him.

BY HAVING YOU SIT ON HIS BLESSED SHOULDERS,


HE ENHANCED YOUR GREATNESS

UPON THE BELOVED GRANDCHILDREN OF THE NABI,


ALL PROMINENCE ITSELF IS PROUD

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is beautifully explaining the excellence of the Beloved
Grandsons of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

In the first line of this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
giving the example of Sayyiduna Imam Hasan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and thus the first
line of this couplet has gathered the essence of the Hadith of
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

130
It is reported from Ibn Ab’bas ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬that once, Imam Hasan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
arrived in the Exalted Court of the Beloved Rasool ‫( ﷺ‬as a child) and
he ascended the Sacred Shoulders of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. On
seeing this (beautiful sight), one of the Blessed Companions of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫� ْﹻﻌ ﹷﻢ اﻟ ﹷْﻤﺮْ ﹷﻛ ﹹﺐ ﹷرﻛ ْﹻﺒ ﹷﺖ ﻳﹷﺎ ﻏﹹﻼ ﹹﹷم‬

What A Splendid Conveyance You Have


(i.e. you are riding) O Young One (i.e. Child)!

So Upon this, the Beloved Nabi said,

‫ﹷو� ْﹻﻌ ﹷﻢ اﻟﺮﹽﹷ�ﻛ ﹹﹻﺐ ه ﹷﹹﻮ‬

And What A Splendid Rider He Is!


[Aa-ina e Qiyaamat With Reference to Sunan Al Tirmizi]

Subhaan’Allah! This line of the couplet is not only presenting the


reflection of the Hadith Shareef, but in it, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also reminding us about the love which the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬had for Sayyiduna Imam Hasan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is describing this beautiful
moment with such beautiful words, and he is telling us that it was not
just Imam Hasan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬who was ascending the Mubaarak Shoulders of
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, but Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us in
this line of the couplet that apparently it seemed that Hazrat
Sayyiduna Imam Hasan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was climbing onto the Blessed Shoulders
of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, but the reality of the matter was the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬was granting him special honour and granting him an even
131
more exalted status, for it was the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬who was
affording him this honour as a child, to sit on His ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred
Shoulders, and in doing so, the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬was showing the
world until Qiyaamat, that this is the status and the grandness of my
Beloved Grandchildren. Also with the use of the words ‘Do Baala’
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that Imam Hasan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
and Imam Husain ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬are already exalted, for they are the Noble
Grandchildren of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, but Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed them with
such love and affection that it enhanced their grandness even more.

In the second line of the couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
used the plural form. In other words, as per this narration, Sayyiduna
Imam Hasan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was on the Blessed Shoulders of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬,
but Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is saying that, Upon The
Beloved Grandchildren of The Nabi, All Prominence Itself Is Proud.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting a
very important fundamental rule that, at times one is mentioned but
all are included, and here it was Imam Hasan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that was granted
this apparent honour of being on the Mubaarak Shoulders of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, but in reality this honour was being granted to both
Imam Hasan and Imam Husain ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬and the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬was
showing us how He ‫ ﷺ‬loved both his grandchildren, for the love of
Hasan is the love of Husain and the ascending of Hasan is the
ascending of Husain.

So here, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is showing the
application of this rule and is teaching us that even though this
narration mentions Imam Hasan, but both the Beloved Grandsons of
Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬are so exalted that all prominence, all virtues and all
splendours are proud and gushing over the honour which has been
bestowed upon them.

LEAVING THE PIETY OF MUFTI E AZAM,


WHO CAN CLAIM TRUE PIETY?

NONE CAN BE REGARDED PIOUS IN THIS TIME,


IF HE DEPARTED, FROM HIS PIETY

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬conveys a beautiful message regarding piety and Sarkaar
e Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

This couplet is one of the many couplets in a Manqabat, which


Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬penned as a tribute to and in the
love of his Maternal Grandfather, his Murshid e Kaamil and his
Spiritual Mentor, Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.
Here, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about piety and
he is saying that in this era, if someone regards himself as pious, then
he should prove his piety, by moulding himself in the blessed mould

133
of Huzoor e Mufti e Azam e Hind’s piety, for in this time and age, if
one diverts from the path of Sarkaar Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, he
cannot really claim piety.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is challenging
those who saw Sarkaar Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and those who
know about Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, but they try to carve a
path in Deen different from that of Sarkaar e Mufti e Azam Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,
and then they still claim to be pious.

What Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying is that, how can
you claim piety when you have left the way of that personality who is
the Imam of Piety in his era?

In the same couplet, he gives the response to the above question by


saying that, if you truly wish to become pious, then hold firmly to the
way of Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the Pious Predecessors,
and you will be regarded as pious.

In other words, by diverting from their path, your claim of piety is just
a claim with no substance, and this is in accordance with the Holy
Qur’an as well, for Almighty Allah commands the Allah Fearing to
keep the company of the pious.

In other words, we are commanded to at all times be attached to the


pious and to follow their way, if we wish to be truly pious, for true
piety is in being Allah-Fearing. Almighty Allah says in the Holy Qur’an,

‫ﹽﹷ‬
‫ﻳٰٓﺎﹷ ﹽﹹﻳ ﹷہﺎ اﻟﹽﹷ ﹻﺬﻳْ ﹷﻦ � ﹷﻣﻨﹹﻮا ا� ﹹﻘﻮا ا ﹷ‬
‫ﷲ ﹷو ﹹﻛ ْﻮﻧ ْﹹﻮا ﹷﻣ ﹷﻊ ٰﹽ‬
‫اﻟﺼﺪﹻﻗﹻ� ْ ﹷن‬

O You Who Believe! Fear Allah and Keep The Company of the
Righteous. [Surah At-Tauba (9), Verse 119]

134
In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in fact
presenting a concise commentary of the above mentioned verse of
the Holy Qur’an, and he is telling us that we have been commanded
to hold firmly to the pious, in order to become Allah Fearing and so
that we remain Allah Fearing, and then he is telling us that, the most
pious personality of our era was Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also the reflection of
the famous couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which the Imam
says,

Tere Ghulaamoñ Ka Naqsh e Qadam Hai Raah e Khuda


Wo Kya Bahak Sakay Jo Ye Suraagh Le Ke Chale

The Sacred Footprints Of Your True Servants,


Is The Path To Allah Almighty

How Can They Ever Go Astray,


Who Follow These Footsteps Judiciously

So, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah is telling us that, the Leader of the True
Servants of our era is Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and if you
wish to remain pious and if you wish to attain nearness to Almighty
Allah and if you wish to be protected from going astray, then hold
firmly to Sarkaar e Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

Subhaan’Allah! I must say here that, Sayyidi Sarkaar Taajush Shariah


‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was the best example of one who followed Sarkaar e Mufti e

Azam in every way possible.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬never wrote a Fatwa which was
different from the Fatwa of Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

135
In other words, he never gave any ruling which contradicted the
ruling of Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and he lived his life as the
image and representation of the life and the way of Sarkaar e Mufti e
Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

He knew better than all of us that, true piety and being a truly
miraculous person is not about claiming to have supernatural abilities
and claiming piety, but true piety and miraculousness is in following
the Shari’at e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬with steadfastness and holding firmly to
the Commands of Almighty Allah and His Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

A beautiful reflection of this love for Huzoor Sayyidi Sarkaar e Mufti e


Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the pious predecessors can be seen today, in a
personality who was truly beloved to Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah
‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضن ہ‬. In other words, this reflection can be seen today most

beautifully and perfectly, in Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer,

KAUN SI SHAY TUJH SE AALAM ME CHUPI

O BELOVED NABI, WHOM ALLAH


BLESSED WITH HIS DIVINE VISION

WHAT IS THERE IN THE UNIVERSE,


THAT FROM YOU, CAN BE HIDDEN?

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting in a single couplet, the discussion on a very
important belief of the Ahle Sunnat. Like he has done in so many
other couplets, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is gathering the
ocean in a goblet. In this couplet, he is discussing the Ilm e Ghaib (i.e.
The Knowledge of the Unseen) of the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

The Badmazhabs (Deviants) have always argued about the Ilm e


Ghaib of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, while rejecting it for the Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. They say that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬does not even know
what is behind a wall (Allah Forbid).
137
It is their false belief that the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬does not possess
Knowledge of the unseen. Therefore, in this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is refuting them and He is addressing the
Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and in doing so, he is saying, O The Beloved
Nabi! ‫ ﷺ‬Who saw Almighty Allah, which I have translated in a poetic
manner as ‘O Beloved Nabi, Whom Allah Blessed With His Divine
Vision’.

So, by addressing the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in this manner, Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, it is our Aqida that our Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is He, Who has been blessed with the Divine Vision, and Who
saw Almighty Allah. This, which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
saying is in accordance with what has been mentioned in the Ahadith
e Mubaaraka and it is this, which is the Aqida of all the Grand
Scholars of the Ahle Sunnat.

It is in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad on the authority of Hazrat


Abdullah ibn Ab’bas ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬that Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬said, I Saw My Most
Exalted Creator.

Grand Scholars like Imam Jalaalud’deen Suyuti have mentioned this


Hadith to be authentic and correct. There is also a narration in Tirmizi
Shareef from Imam ul Mufas’sireen Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Ab’bas ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬
wherein he says,

‫اﻣﺎ ﻧﺤﻦ ﺑﻨﻮﻫﺎ ﺷﻢ ﻓﻨﻘﻮل ان ﻣﺤﻤﺪا راي رﺑہ ﻣﺮﺗ�ن‬

We, the Banu Hashim say that, undoubtedly Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬saw His
Rab’b twice. [Munab’bih ul Muniyah of Imam Ahmed Raza With
Reference to Tirmizi Shareef]

138
Now, after saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says, what
is there in the universe, that can be hidden from You? In other words,
he is saying, Ya Rasool’Allah ‫!ﷺ‬

When Almighty Allah, Who is The Greatest Unseen is not hidden from
You, then how can anything else be hidden from Your Sight!

So, in this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is saying, this
is that Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬Who Saw Almighty Allah, so how can anything in the
creation ever be unseen to him.

This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also the reflection of
the famous couplet by Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, in
which he says,

Awr Ko-ee Ghaib Kya Tum Se Nihaañ Ho Bhala


Jab Na Khuda Hee Chupa Tum Pe Karoroñ Durood

Which Other Unseen And Hidden Vision,


Can Remain Hidden From Your Holy Vision

When From You Is Not Hidden Allah’s Divine Vision,


Billions of Benedictions Upon You

Regarding the Ilm e Ghaib of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, Khalifa e Aala Hazrat, Allama
Mufti Mahmood Jaan Peshawari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬so beautifully says, Without
Doubt, Almighty Allah Blessed The Most Exalted, Glorified And
Blessed Rasool, The Means of Distribution, The Means For The
Creation of The Universe, The Beloved of Almighty Allah And The
Leader of All The Ambia, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬With All
The Knowledge From The Beginning Until The End. Not Even An
Atom Has Been Hidden From His Blessed Knowledge. This (Ilm e
Ghaib) Is Only One Gem From The Unlimited Pearls of Knowledge

139
Which Have Been Bestowed Upon Muhammadur Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.
The Rays of Which Have Brightened And Enlightened The Hearts of
The Muslims. Those Who Reject This Knowledge Are As Blind As
Bats. The Lightning Bolt of Allah’s Wrath Fell Upon Them,
Destroying What They Had, For They Questioned And Protested!
[Eedha e Sunnat]

Subhaan’Allah! Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬presented the


essence of all of this, in the first line of this couplet when he said, Ay
Khuda Ko Dekhne Waale Nabi. He then sealed the mouths of the
deviants by saying, Kaun Si Shay Tujh Se Aalam Me Chupi.

This is the power of the words of Allah’s Wali and there is no doubt
that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is Allah’s Wali. Thus, we
always advise those who recite Na’at and Manqabat etc. to recite the
Kalaams of those who are Maqbool e Bargaah, in other words, those
who are accepted in the Court of Almighty Allah and His Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, for when they are accepted, then indeed their Kalaams
are accepted.

When such personalities write Na’at and Manqabat, they do so from


their hearts and they do not write for winning the favour of people,
but they write for the Pleasure of Almighty Allah and His Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. Thus, I always encourage those who recite Na’at and
Manqabat to recite the Kalaams of the Pious Personalities, to the
best of their ability.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

Hazrat Amin e Shari’at ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also the brother-in-law of Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the father-in-law of Huzoor Sayyidi
Qaa’id e Millat Qibla. However, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
did not love him and honour him only because he was such a close
family member and such a wonderful person, but his love for him
was for the sake of his love for Almighty Allah and His Beloved
Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying about
Huzoor Sayyidi Amin e Shari’at ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that, he is a marvellous and
fragrant flower. In other words, he is a beautiful rose and flower from
the Garden of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and he is
saying that he passed from this world and left this world smiling.

In other words, he left this world successfully and thus he left the
world smiling and happily, because he left this world with the love of
the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. This happiness and leaving the world smiling
is because he had in his heart the true love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and
this has also been mentioned in another couplet, wherein he says,

Daagh e Ishq e Nabi Dil Meiñ Rakhe Rahe


Le Ke Shama’e Lahad Shaadmaañ Chal Diye

In His Heart He Always Preserved The Spot Of The Love Of The Nabi,
Taking This Radiant Lamp Of His Grave, Blissfully He Has Gone

142
In the above couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is
mentioning the honour and the virtue of Huzoor Sayyidi Amin e
Shari’at, while at the same time, he is telling us that he is not only a
rose from the Garden of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬because he is a
family member, but he is also a rose in the garden of the hereafter
with Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

A point to be noted here is that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
was born on the 26th of Muharram and the Wisaal of Huzoor Sayyidi
Amin e Shari’at ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was on the 26th of Muharram and Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬already knew before leaving this world that
from the elders of the Family, he will be next to pass from the world
after Hazrat Amin e Shari’at ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. This is why in the final couplet of
the same Kalaam which he wrote in tribute to Hazrat Amin e Shari’at
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬he said,

Dekhne Waalo Jee Bhar Ke Dekho Hameñ


Kal Na Rona Ke Akhtar Miyañ Chal Diye

Those Who Are Looking At Me, Look At Me To Your Heart’s Content


Do Not Weep Tomorrow Saying, Akhtar Miyañ Has Gone

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

KIS DIL SE HO BAYAAN E BEDAAD E ZAALIMAAÑ


ZAALIM BARAY SHAREER HAIÑ YA GHAUS AL MADAD

WITH WHICH HEART CAN I EXPLAIN,


THE INJUSTICES OF THE UNJUST

THE UNJUST ARE EXTREMELY


MISCHIEVOUS, O GHAUS ASSIST US!

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is making a plea in the Court of Shahanshah e Baghdad,
Sarkaar e Ghaus e Azam Jilani ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

He is explaining the condition of his heart without really mentioning


it directly. However, he is saying, With Which Heart Can I Explain The
Injustices of the Unjust?

With these words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in a way
saying to Huzoor Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that my heart is so aggrieved due
to the attacks of the oppressors and the mischievous ones, that I do
144
not even know what to say and where to start, so all that I am saying
is, Ya Ghaus Al Madad.

Now, the question which arises here is that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not mentioning the grief and the details regarding the
unjust and mischievous ones, but rather he is just saying that they
are extremely mischievous and their malice is extreme.

So, why is he not mentioning any details about the extreme malicious
acts of the unjust to Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and just saying that they are
extremely malicious?

Why is it that after saying this, he is instantly seeking the aid of Ghaus
e Paak ‫?ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬

This is because Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬knows and
believes that the Awliya are those Chosen Servants of Almighty Allah,
upon whose hearts the special Manifestations of Almighty Allah are
inspired, and they are aware of the condition of their followers and
their devotees even after they have left this world.

He is telling us that I am not just calling out to a Wali, but I am calling


out to the Imam ul Awliya, and I have no doubt that through Imam ul
Ambia ‫ﷺ‬, the Imam ul Awliya ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is aware of my condition, and he
will come to my aid, and all that I have to do as his devotee, is to seek
out his aid, and he will know exactly which form of aid I require and
he will aid me accordingly.

Further, it must be noted that Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
presenting this plea in the Court of Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬because he
knows that, when the unjust and the enemies of the Deen and the
agents of unholy unity cause you distress, then go to the Court of

145
Shahanshah e Baghdad and seek his aid against them, for he knows
Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has said to those who love him,

‫ش ﹷﻓﺎ�ﹻ ﹽ ْي‬ ْ ‫ﹹﻣﺮﹻﻳْﺪﹻي ﹷﻻ ﺗﹷ ﹷﺨ‬


ٍ ‫ﻒ ﹷوا‬
‫ﹷﻋﺰ ﹹ ْو ٌم ﻗﹷﺎﺗ ﹻ ٌﻞ ﻋ ﹻ ْﻨ ﹷﺪ ا ْﻟﻘ ﹻ ﹷﺘﺎ ﹻل‬

In other words, O My Mureed! Do not fear any slanderer, for in battle


I am steadfast and such a powerful opponent that no enemy can
stand against me.

Huzoor Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling his mureeds, that those who
come against me will fail and cannot bear my offensive. This is why
one of the commentators of the Qasida Ghausiyah Shareef says,

‘Dar Mukhaalif Se Na Har Giz, Mere Taalib Zee-Nahaar


Huñ Dilaawar Awr Qawi, Be Shak Ba Waqt e Kaar-Zaar

In other words, in this couplet,

‫ش ﹷﻓﺎ�ﹻ ﹽ ْي‬ ْ ‫ﹹﻣﺮﹻﻳْﺪﹻي ﹷﻻ ﺗﹷ ﹷﺨ‬


ٍ ‫ﻒ ﹷوا‬
‫ﹷﻋﺰ ﹹ ْو ٌم ﻗﹷﺎﺗ ﹻ ٌﻞ ﻋ ﹻ ْﻨ ﹷﺪ ا ْﻟﻘ ﹻ ﹷﺘﺎ ﹻل‬

Huzoor Sayyidi Sarkaar e Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, O my
Mureed! Do not fear any backbiter (or enemy) because I am
steadfast and a slayer of the enemy in battle. Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is
saying that his enemies have no courage and power before him and
they have no standing before him, for in every battle, ‘The Army of
Almighty Allah’ is always victorious.

146
Huzoor Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬also says,

Kya Dabay Jis Pe Himaayat Ka Ho Panjah Tera


Sher Ko Khatre Me Laata Nahiñ Kut’ta Tera

Why Should The One Upon Whom Is Your Hand, Feel Defeated?
When Even By A Lion, Your Dog Is Not Intimidated

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬ is taking the support of this
word of Ghaus e Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,

‫ش ﹷﻓﺎ�ﹻ ﹽ ْي‬ ْ ‫ﹹﻣﺮﹻﻳْﺪﹻي ﹷﻻ ﺗﹷ ﹷﺨ‬


ٍ ‫ﻒ ﹷوا‬
‫ﹷﻋﺰ ﹹ ْو ٌم ﻗﹷﺎﺗ ﹻ ٌﻞ ﻋ ﹻ ْﻨ ﹷﺪ ا ْﻟﻘ ﹻ ﹷﺘﺎ ﹻل‬

And rather than dealing with those unjust ones by himself, he is


leaving them to Huzoor Ghaus e Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and in this, is a great
lesson for us, when facing the enemies.

Further, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is reminding us that, it is the
Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat that we seek Istimdaad, in other words, we
seek out the Special Aid from the Beloveds of Almighty Allah and we
believe that they can hear us and assist us and they are observing our
condition. Therefore, Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬quotes this statement
of Imam Sha’raani:

‫ﻤﺔ اﻟﻔﻘﻬﺎء واﻟﺼﻮﻓﻴﺔ �ﻠﻬﻢ �ﺸﻔﻌﻮن �ي ﻣﻘﻠﺪﻳﻬﻢ و ﻳﻼﺣﻈﻮن اﺣﺪﻫﻢ ﻋﻨﺪ ﻃﻠﻮع‬Ò‫ان ا‬
‫روﺣہ و ﻋﻨﺪ ﺳﺆال ﻣﻨ� و ﻧﻜ�� ﻟہ وﻋﻨﺪ اﻟﻨ� واﻟﺤ� واﻟﺤﺴﺎب واﻟﻤﻴﺰان واﻟ�اط‬
‫وﻻ �ﻐﻔﻠﻮن ﻋﻨﻬﻢ �ي ﻣﻮﻗﻒ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻤﻮاﻗﻒ‬
147
Indeed, All The Imams, The Awliya And The Ulama (Fuqaha)
Intercede For Their Followers Respectively. When The Souls of Any
of Their Followers Depart (From This World), When Munkar And
Nakeer Question Them, When They Are Resurrected, When Their
Book of Deeds Are Unveiled, When They Are Called To
Accountability While Their Deeds Are Being Weighed And When
They Walk On Siraat (The Bridge), They Watch Over Them At All
Times And In Every Condition. In Fact, They Are Not Unmindful of
Them (i.e. of Their State) At Any Place. [Al Istimdaad of Sayyidi Aala
Hazrat]

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬states that Imam Sha’raani ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬further says,

‫ﺪ �ي‬Ò‫ﺦ اﻟﺼﻮﻓﻴﺔ ﻳﻼﺣﻈﻮن اﺗﺒﺎﻋﻬﻢ وﻣﺮﻳﺪﻳﻬﻢ �ي ﺟﻤﻴﻊ اﻻﻫﻮال واﻟﺸﺪا‬Ò‫اذا�ﺎن ﻣﺸﺎ‬


‫ﻤﺔ اﻟﻤﺬﻫﺐ‬Ò‫اﻟﺪﻧﻴﺎ و اﻻٰ�ة ﻓﻜﻴﻒ ﺑﺎ‬

When the Awliya (the Masha’ikh) watch over their followers and
disciples during all times of apprehension and difficulty in this world
and in the hereafter, then what can be said about the A’imma of
the Madhab. [Al Istimdaad of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat]

This couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also a reflection
of the couplet of Huzoor Ghaus ul Waqt Sarkaar e Mufti e Azam e
Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, wherein he says,

Bar’he Howsle Dushmanoñ Ke Ghat’aa De


Zaraa Le-Le Taigh e Do Dum Ghaus e Azam

Dampen The Courage Of The Enemies Which Is Now Growing

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about his Beloved Father while paying tribute
to him after he left this physical world to journey into the hereafter
on the 11th of Safar 1385 Hijri, coinciding with the 12th of June 1965.

Huzoor Mufassir e Azam, Hazrat Allama Ibrahim Raza Khan Jilani


Miyañ ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is the paternal grandson of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. His Beloved Father is Huzoor Hujjatul Islam
Hazrat Allama Ash Shah Mufti Haamid Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, who is the
elder son of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

149
In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about
the blessed manner in which Huzoor Mufassir e Azam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬would
converse, and the manner in which he would convey The Message of
Islam. He is telling us that when he spoke, his words revived the
withering hearts. In other words, the words of Huzoor Mufassir e
Azam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬would give hope to the hearts of those who went to him
for advice, and to those who listened to his discourses and lessons.

After saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says that
Huzoor Mufassir e Azam Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was amongst those Blessed
Personalities, who shone brightly as the Manifestation of Allah’s
Most Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. This was because Huzoor Mufassir e Azam
Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was always absorbed in the profound Love of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and he would always be seen reciting Durood Shareef
upon the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. He strived to follow in the Sacred
Footsteps of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and thus strived to follow and
uphold the Sunnat.

Thus, in him, manifested the Special Blessings of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬,


and so when he spoke, his words were not merely words, but they
were indeed Gems of Wisdom, and when those who heard his words
listened to them with their hearts, his words revived their hearts. In
other words, it revived the Deen and the love of Almighty Allah and
His Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in their hearts, and brought them to realise their own
weaknesses, and to thus rectify themselves, so that they may
become pious and Allah Fearing.

When one looks at the Gems of Wisdom of Huzoor Sayyidi Mufassir e


Azam Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, he will further realise how perfectly this couplet fits
him, and how well Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has described
this wonderful quality of his Beloved Father. I will present here a
glimpse into some of the Gems of Wisdom which emanated from the
blessed lips of Huzoor Mufassir e Azam Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

150
He would often be heard saying,

• My Own Faults Hinder Me From Finding Faults In Others

• Slight Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder And An


Extensive Absence Kills The Love

• The Honour of Every Nation Depends On Its Ulama

• Allah Gave Us Two Ears And One Tongue, So That We Listen


More And Speak Less

• Piety Is Through Good Character And Not Through Lineage

• One Who Is Not Beloved To Allah, Cannot Be Your Beloved

• Sabr (Patience) Is More Bitter Than Poison And Sweeter


Than Honey

• Knowledge Without Practicing (In Accordance With It), Is A


Burden To One’s Soul

• Allah Gives Comfort In The World, To One Who Does Deeds


For The Hereafter

• When You Have Done Everything, Still Think That You Have
Done Nothing

These Gems from the blessed lips of Huzoor Mufas’sir e Azam e Hind
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬further support what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضن ہ‬says

about his father in this beautiful couplet.

SHAFA’AT KO SHAFI’ UL MUZNIBEEÑ HAI

DO NOT BECOME ANXIOUS


O SINNERS, DO NOT BE DAZED

BY THE INTERCESSION OF THE INTERCESSOR OF


THE SINNERS, WE WILL BE GRACED

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is discussing the intercession of the Beloved Rasool
Shafi’ ul Muznibeen ‫ﷺ‬.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is giving hope to all of us and
saying that even though you have sinned and made mistakes in your
lives, repent sincerely, and do not be anxious, for The Intercessor of
those who are carrying the burden of sins, is our Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and
He is Shafi’ ul Muznibeen ‫ﷺ‬.

152
In saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also refuting the
Wahabis etc. who say that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬does not have this
power and that intercession is not as we think it is. They deceive the
Believers and give the false concept of Shafa’at.

So, while refuting this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling
us, that do not be anxious and do not think that your Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬cannot
benefit you in any way but know that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬has
been chosen and appointed by Almighty Allah to intercede for the
sinners, and until and unless the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬does not open
the Doors of Intercession, none will be able to intercede.

Ghaus ul Waqt, Huzoor Sayyidi Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully
says, Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬is already chosen and appointed for
intercession. Without Him ‫ﷺ‬, none can open the Door (of
Intercession). In fact, the intercession of all others, is before
Huzoor ‫ﷺ‬, and the Intercessor in the Grand Court of Allah, is
Huzoor ‫ﷺ‬. [The Appendices of Al Istimdaad]

It is the Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jama’at that our Beloved


Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is The Intercessor and that He ‫ ﷺ‬has already been blessed
with this Grand Station of Intercession. This is contrary to the
deviants who say that Allah will only choose and appoint an
intercessor on that day if He So Wills.

Our Aqida is that our Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is already appointed, and
therefore, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that, do
not be anxious and do not feel that you will be alone on that day, for
on that day the Intercessor is The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

153
The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬said,

�‫اﻧﺎ ﺻﺎﺣﺐ ﺷﻔﺎﻋﺘہﻢ و ﻻ ﻓ‬

I Am The Leader of Intercession Amongst Them (The People) And I


Have No Pride (Over It). [Ibn Majah Shareef]

The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫�ن‬Ò‫ا ﺗﺮوﻧہﺎ ﻟﻠﻤﺆﻣﻨ�ن اﻟﻤﺘﻘ�ن ﻻ و�ﻜﻨہﺎ ﻟﻠﻤﺬﻧﺒ�ن اﻟﻤﺘﻮﻟﺜ�ن اﻟﺨﻄﺎ‬

Do You Think That My Intercession Is For The Pure Believers? No!


But It Is For The Sinners, The Tarnished & The Severe Wrongdoers.
[Ibn Majah Shareef]

This is the Blessed Intercession which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is mentioning in this couplet, and he is reminding us that you are

slaves of Mustafa Jaan e Rahmat ‫ﷺ‬, so never think that you are
alone, for our Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is Shafi’ ul Muznibeen ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also presenting
the reflection of the beautiful couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam
Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
in which he says,

Ab Aayi Shafa’at Ki Saa’at Ab Aayi

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is making a Dua in this couplet, and in this Dua he is
saying, may the Maslak of Aala Hazrat remain elevated and may it
prevail.

After mentioning this Dua, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
saying, let me tell you why I am making Dua for Maslak e Aala Hazrat
to prevail and remain elevated. It is because in this era, Maslak e Aala
Hazrat is the true recognition of the Deen of The Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬,
and it is this, which is the real Maslak e Ahle Sunnat.

155
What does Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬mean here when he
says that Maslak e Aala Hazrat is the recognition of Deen e Nabi ‫?ﷺ‬
The best answer to this question can be found in the words of Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬itself.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬says, Allah Almighty has
appointed and chosen Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬to guide people like us in
this era, and (he chose him) for the sake of serving His Deen. This is
a great blessing of Allah upon him that he granted him the special
right of serving the Religion, and in the correct time as needed, He
granted him the special responsibility of guiding the Ahle Sunnat
Wa Jama’at and fighting the corrupt sects.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬further says, Allah and His
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬granted him such a blessing; that love for him, has
become the means of the recognition of the Righteous Men.
Through his name, the Deen of Allah and The Deen of
Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and the Deen of the Sahaba e Kiraam and The Ahle

Bayt e At’haar ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج���ن ضين‬and from one era to the next, the Deen of
the Awliya Allah, being the Deen of Huzoor Ghaus e Azam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, and
the Deen of Imam e Azam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬became recognised (i.e. is
identified). His name and city became a means of the recognition of
the True Religion and another name of Maslak e Ahle Sunnat in the
era became Maslak e Aala Hazrat.

This is what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining in this
couplet, and this is why he is making Dua for the Maslak of Aala
Hazrat to prevail, for Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬fought against the
deviants his entire life and made sure that the True Message of the
Deen of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬was protected from the modernists and
from the agents of unholy unity (i.e. the Sulhe Kullis).

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us about the Grand Authority and the Unique
Power of Legislation which has been bestowed upon Nabi Kareem
‫ﷺ‬.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that the Authority of
Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is universal. In other words, the Grand Authority of
Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬prevails over the skies and the earth and it prevails
over every region and domain.

157
The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬had been blessed with such Grand Authority
from the Divine Court of Almighty Allah that, He ‫ ﷺ‬may do as He ‫ﷺ‬
Wishes and He ‫ ﷺ‬may change what He ‫ ﷺ‬wishes. In other words,
Almighty Allah has made Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬Maalik o Mukhtar and this
is why The Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬brought back the sun which had already
set in the West, to the East, and this is why He ‫ ﷺ‬split the moon with
His ‫ ﷺ‬Mubaarak Finger, and moved the Moon while He ‫ ﷺ‬was still
in His ‫ ﷺ‬cradle.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that Almighty Allah has
given Him ‫ ﷺ‬such authority that He ‫ ﷺ‬may transform the sky into
the earth and the earth into the sky and not only this, but He ‫ ﷺ‬may
bring the Galaxy of Stars from the Heights of the Skies to the lowest
level beneath the core of the earth. This could also mean that He ‫ﷺ‬
may take a king and make him a mendicant and then take a
mendicant and make him a King. All of this, is because Allah Almighty
has given everything in the Grand Control of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and in
reality everything has been created for Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

This is the Manifestation of the couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضن ہ‬

wherein he said,

Zameen o Zamaañ Tumhaare Liye, Makeen o Makaañ Tumhaare Liye


Chuneen o Chunaañ Tumhaare Liye, Bane Do Jahaañ Tumhaare Liye

For You, The Space And The Time Are Existing,


For You, Its Residents And Residence Are Existing

For You, All Of This And All Of That, Are Existing


Created For You, Both The Worlds, Are Existing

ALL EYES ARE AFFIXED UPON THE HOLY KAA’BA


THE KAA’BA IS GAZING AT THE FACE OF MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about the Kaa’ba and the Kaa’ba of the
Kaa’ba.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining the
Grand Excellence and The Radiant Beauty of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬. Every
Muslim waits anxiously, to place his or her sight upon the Holy
Kaa’ba. When a person reaches the Holy Haram e Makkah, the first
thing that he or she wishes to see and that which his or her sight
seeks out, is the Holy Kaa’ba.

Further to this, wherever a Muslim may be, he seeks out the


direction of the Kaa’ba, as the Qibla for Ibaadat is the Holy Kaa’ba.

159
Here, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that everyone seeks out
the Kaa’ba, but the Holy Kaa’ba is looking towards Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, for
the One Who Cleansed The Kaa’ba of Idols and Idol Worship, is
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, and the One Towards Whose Home, The Kaa’ba
Shareef Bowed, Is Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

So, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in fact telling us that which
Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said,

Ghaur Se Sun To Raza Kaa’be Se Aati He Sada

FRAGRANCE ITSELF IS FROM THE


FRAGRANCE OF MUHAMMAD ‫ﷺ‬

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about the Most Beautiful Fragrance on The
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. When mentioning the Blessed Fragrance of Nabi
‫ﷺ‬, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed

Fragrance is prevailing in all the gardens. Here, he has said ‘All The
Gardens’ to show that this Mubaarak Fragrance is not only prevailing
in the gardens of the earth, but it is also prevailing in the Gardens of
Paradise.

He further says that, fragrance itself and the real fragrance, is the
Blessed Fragrance of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬. In other words, the essence of
every pure fragrance is through the Blessings of the Fragrance of
161
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and he emphasises that there is no fragrance more
fragrant than the Mubaarak Fragrance of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬. And what
do we know about this Mubaarak Fragrance of Nabi Kareem ‫?ﷺ‬
Hazrat Anas ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says that, when Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬would pass by any
street, the people smelt such a Beautiful Fragrance on that street,
that they would proclaim, It is only Allah's Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬who
passed by here.

Hazrat Anas ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬further says, I smelt all types of perfumes, be it
Musk or Amber, but I did not smell any fragrance sweeter than the
Fragrance which flowed from the Sacred Body of Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

Imam Bukhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬quotes a narration from Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in Taarikh e Kabeer that, when Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬passed by any place,

then the person who came afterwards would be able to sense the
fragrance of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and he would know that Huzoor ‫ ﷺ‬passed by
this place. This beautiful, sweet fragrance was from the Jism e Athar
of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and not from the fragrance which He ‫ ﷺ‬used.

This is the Most Beautiful Fragrance which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about, and it is this Mubaarak Fragrance
regarding which Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah
Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said,

Bheeni-Bheeni Mahak Par Mahakti Durood

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about The Most Sacred Sight and Blessed
Glance of The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that
the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬Placed His Blessed Sight upon even the best of
people such as Hazrat Abu Bakr, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Uthman and

Hazrat Ali ‫ ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج��� ضتيتہ‬etc.

163
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then humbling himself in the
Court of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and requesting His ‫ ﷺ‬Special
Blessings and saying that Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬You have blessed the
best of the best; now place your blessed sight on sinful ones like us as
well, so that we too may become pious and virtuous through Your
Blessed Sight.

Here, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬refers to Huzoor e


Akram ‫ ﷺ‬as ‘Sultaan e Jamaal’. In other words, he refers to Him ‫ﷺ‬
as The Emperor and King of Beauty. Here, beauty is not only referring
to the Unique Radiant Appearance of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, but by
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬using the words ‘Sultaan e
Jamaal', he is making it clear that, everything about our Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is Beautiful, for He ‫ ﷺ‬is the Emperor of All The Most
Beautiful Traits and everything beautiful. So, he is saying, that if the
Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬Places His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Sight on us sinners, then we
too will be blessed with beautiful virtue, through the Blessings of
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

Nabi Kareem’s ‫ ﷺ‬Single Nigaah e Karam (Most Generous Sight),


changed the lives of the most sinful ones and transformed the hearts
of the most hard-hearted ones.

Hazrat Shaiba Ibn Uthman ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬explains how he became a Muslim. He
says, I was fighting against the Muslims on the side of the unbelievers
during the Ghazwa e Hunain. I remembered that my father and my
‫ض�ی‬
uncle were killed by Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Hamzah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ ھ�ا‬. So, I

thought, why should I not avenge their deaths today and kill their
Nabi Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬.

164
With this intention, I proceeded towards Huzoor ‫ﷺ‬. I was just about
to attack Him ‫ ﷺ‬when a huge ball of fire, like lightning, came
towards me. I turned on my heels and fled. As I fled, the Blessed Sight
of Allah’s Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬fell upon me. Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬said, ‘O Shaiba!’

The moment He ‫ ﷺ‬placed His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Sight upon me and called


out my name, the condition of my heart was transformed. Now,
when I looked towards the Mubaarak Face of Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬,
He ‫ ﷺ‬looked more Beloved to me than my hearing and my vision.

This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah is manifesting this beauty of


the Sacred Sight of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and it is this couplet of Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that is a reflection of the couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wherein he says,

Jis Taraf Ut’th Gayi Dam Me Dam Aa Gaya

YOU ARE THE PEER OF ALL THE PEERS, O GHAUS ASSIST US


YOU ARE THE LEADER OF ALL THE PIOUS, O GHAUS ASSIST US

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is seeking The Aid of Sarkaar e Ghaus e Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

By seeking Aid from Huzoor Ghaus e Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is reinforcing the Aqida of The Ahle Sunnat Wa
Jama’at that we believe in Istimdaad.

In other words, we believe in seeking the Special Aid from the


Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and all the Beloveds of Almighty Allah and His
Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and there is no doubt that when it is permissible
to seek the aid of the Awliya, then what can be said about seeking
the Aid of The Imam ul Awliya, Sarkaar e Ghaus e Azam Jilani ‫!ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬

166
This is the message which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
conveying in this couplet, by seeking the Aid of Sarkaar e Ghaus e
Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, who is not just a 'Peer' (A Spiritual Guide), but he is indeed
the Peer of all the Peers (The Grand Spiritual Master of The Spiritual
Masters).

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then telling us that, Huzoor
Ghaus e Paak ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not only the Peer of all the Peers, but he is that
Kaamil Peer who is The Leader of all the Pious Ones. In other words,
he is the Leader of the Mystics. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
not simply saying this on his own accord, but he is saying this because
even the great Awliya who came before Ghaus e Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
announced that he is the Peer of the Peers and the Leader of the
Awliya.

Shaykh ul Masha’ikh Sayyiduna Junaid e Baghdadi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬lived almost


two hundred years before Sarkaar Ghaus e Azam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. It is reported
that once while Hazrat Junaid e Baghdadi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was in a deep state of
spiritual meditation when he suddenly said, His Foot Is On My Neck;
His Foot Is On My Neck.

After he exited this deep spiritual state, his disciples questioned him
concerning these words, and he said, I Have Been Informed That, A
Great Saint Will Be Born Towards The End of The Fifth Century. His
Name Will Be Abdul Qaadir And His Title Will Be Muhiy'yud’deen.
He Will Be Born In Jilan, And He Will Reside In Baghdad. One Day,
On The Command of Allah, He Will Say, ‘My Foot Is On The Necks of
All The Awliyah Allah.’ While In The State of Spiritual Meditation, I
Saw His Excellence And These Words Were Uttered By Me Without
My Control.

167
This is Ghaus e Azam ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and this is the grand personality from
whom Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is seeking aid, for all the
Awliyah have clearly acknowledged the Wilaayat of Huzoor Ghaus e
Paak ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. This couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is the
reflection of the couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬in which he said,

Malak Ke Kuch, Bashar Kuch, Jinn Ke Haiñ Peer


Tu Shaykh e ‘Aali o Saafil Hai Ya Ghaus

Some Are The Guides of The Angels,


of The Humans & of The Jinn Population

O Ghaus! You Are The Spiritual Guide of

CH'HOR’ KAR AAP SAARA JAHAAÑ CHAL DIYE


AY AMEEN E SHARI’AT KAHAAÑ CHAL DIYE

LEAVING BEHIND THE ENTIRE WORLD YOU HAVE GONE


O AMEEN E SHARI’AT! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is apparently expressing his emotions on the Wisaal
(passing away) of Hazrat Amin e Shari’at Allama Shah Sibtain Raza
Khan Qaadiri Razvi ‫��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬.

As mentioned in the explanation of an earlier couplet, Hazrat Sayyidi


Amin e Shari’at ‫ ��یی ہ ��ر��ہ‬is the beloved grandson of Ustadh e Zaman
Shahanshah e Sukhan Hazrat Allama Hasan Raza Khan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and the
son of Hazrat Allama Hasnain Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

When he journeyed from this world, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬expressed his sadness and at the same time, he mentioned the

grandness and the virtue of Huzoor Sayyidi Amin e Shari’at.

169
In this couplet, it apparently seems that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is only expressing his sadness, but by him saying, where
have you gone? Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, that
this is Amin e Shari’at, the personality whom I regard as the Karaamat
of Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and a personality who was
always absorbed in the love of the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and who is not
any ordinary person, but he is that person who is a fragrant rose from
the blossoming Garden of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

So, when Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬commenced with this
couplet which is the opening couplet of a Kalaam which he wrote in
tribute to Hazrat Amin e Shari’at ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, he was saying, yes, we all know
that Hazrat Amin e Shari’at ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has left this world and he has
journeyed into the hereafter, but let’s ask him, about whereto has he
really gone? In other words, to which great height has his soul
ascended?

Now, to better understand the answer to this question which Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬asks, we need to look further at the said Kalaam
and we will find that Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬answers the
question himself. He says,

Baagh e Ahmad Raza Ke Gul e Khush-Numa


Muskuraate Huwe Gulsitaan Chal Diye

The Marvellously Fragrant Rose of Ahmed Raza’s Garden


With A Radiant Smile, To Paradise He Has Gone

Subhaan’Allah! This is how pious personalities like Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wrote tributes to the blessed ones. It initially
looked like this couplet was just an expression of sadness, but in
reality, it is a couplet which later unveils the grandness, the grand
status and the excellence of Huzoor Amin e Shari’at ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

170
Huzoor Murshid e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said and wrote this, so that we may
realise who this great personality is, and so that we may strengthen
our Aqida about the pious servants of Allah. In other words, we
should always remind ourselves that they have gone to Jannat, and if
we too wish to reach Paradise, we should hold firmly to their way,
and we too will reach our final abode.

In the said couplet when Huzoor Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬asked, where
have you gone? Then, there is an ocean of information flowing in that
question alone. In another couplet regarding Huzoor Amin e Shari’at
‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, Murshid e Kareem is telling us that, he has reached the heights

of paradise as the rose of Imam Ahmed Raza, but what was his secret
and the means of his success? Huzoor Murshid e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Daagh e Ishq e Nabi Dil Me Rakhe Rahe


Le Ke Shama’e Lahad Shaadmaañ Chal Diye

In His Heart He Always Preserved The Spot Of The Love Of The Nabi,
Taking This Radiant Lamp Of His Grave, Blissfully He Has Gone

Subhaan’Allah! The answer to that one question in the opening


couplet is presented in the rest of the Kalaam, wherein the beauty of
the personality who is being discussed, and his deep love for the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬which he attained through the blessings of Imam e
Ishq o Muhabbat Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,
which caused him to blossom as a Rose of The Razvi Garden, until he
went towards The Gardens of Bliss, is being further mentioned.

THE CAUSE FOR THE PLEASURE IN LIFE,


THE CONSOLATION TO THE SOUL, IS YOU ALONE

THE HEART AND SOUL OF LIFE, THE SOUL


OF THE UNIVERSE, IS YOU ALONE

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, is refreshing the Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat, and he is
doing so, while being totally absorbed in the Love of the Best of
Allah's Creation and the Reason for the existence of the entire
creation, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, there is a very deep message which Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is presenting, which I will attempt to explain a
172
bit later. In the apparent sense, he is reminding us about the Aqida of
the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama'at, that The Soul, The Essence and True
Spirit of our Lives and the entire universe and true beauty, is none
other than Sayyiduna wa Maulana Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬, for indeed
without the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬there is nothing.

We all know well that, it is through the Noor e Muhammadi ‫ ﷺ‬that


Almighty Allah created the Angels, The Humans, The Sun, The Moon,
The Skies and the entire Universe, and that the Soul of the Creation,
meaning the One due to whom the creation came into existence is
Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬. This is why Sayyidi Aala Hazrat, Imam e Ahle Sunnat
Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati Sunni Hanafi
Bareilvi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said, The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬being the greatest of all the
Rasools, and the Leader of the entire creation, from the beginning
up to the end is a matter which is categorically related to Imaan,
and one which is conclusive and absolute, (and) a matter of creed,
in which there is consensus, (and) one which is precise, which none
will refute, except for a deviant, (and) a heretic, who is the slave of
shaitaan.

However, all of this which I have mentioned above are matters which
are understood from this couplet in the apparent and clear sense. Let
us now look a bit deeper at this couplet and let us try to understand
the spiritual sense of what Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us.

It feels as if Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is in fact speaking to
the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in his state of profound love, and in doing so,
it seems that when Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah said,

Wajh e Nishaat e Zindagi Raahat e Jaañ Tum Hee To Ho


Rooh e Rawaan e Zindagi Jaan e Jahaañ Tum Hee To Ho

173
It is as if he was in such a profound state of Ishq e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬that he
was seeing the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and he was saying, Ya Rasool'Allah
‫ !ﷺ‬The Cause For The Pleasure in Life, The Consolation To The Soul,

and the true beauty of life is not this materialistic world, it is not the
pomp and splendour of this world, it is not our wealth, it is not our
power, it is not the name and fame of this world, but Ya Rasool'Allah
‫!ﷺ‬

The Cause For The Pleasure in Life,


The Consolation To The Soul, is You Alone

The Heart And Soul of Life, The Soul


of The Universe, Is You Alone

Subhaan’Allah! While manifesting his deep love for Sayyiduna


Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also telling us
all that, no matter how much wealth and power you may have and
no matter how much of the world you may own, you will never attain
true satisfaction and consolation, unless and until you love the Most
Beloved of Almighty Allah ‫ ﷺ‬more than your children, your parents
and all the people, for it is this which is the message of the Hadith e
Paak and it is this which is the Grand Message of the Holy Qur'an. In
other words, the soul of our Deen and Imaan and the soul of life and
the universe is Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬. The message in this couplet
of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬can be better understood
from this couplet of Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,

Jaan e Imaañ He, Muhabbat Teri Jaan e Jinaañ


Jis Ke Dil Meiñ Ye Nahiñ, Khaak Musalmaañ Hoga

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then telling us that, we should
break free from the shackles of western culture and ideology.

In other words, today we Muslims dress like the westerners, we wear


hairstyles like the westerners, we even sadly want to behave like
them, and this is more so with our womenfolk.

Many of them have become trapped into slavery of the West. They
feel that they are held in esteem when they dress like the
unbelievers, and when they behave like the unbelievers, and when
they adopt their culture. They regard this as liberation, and they feel
that this gives them strength and that they are being afforded their
rights.

We should be reminded that when the unbelievers treated the


women like slaves, when they killed them mercilessly, when they
paraded them on the streets and when they buried their daughters
alive, women were given true honour and true respect by the arrival
of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, Who gave such honour to women, which
the world had never seen before, and He ‫ ﷺ‬brought women to such
a level of excellence, that He ‫ ﷺ‬said that Jannah lies beneath the
feet of the mother.

‫ﹷ� أﹷ ﹽﹷن ﹷﺟﺎه ﹷﹻﻤ ﹷﺔ ﹷﺟﺎ ﹷء إ�ﹻ ﹷ� اﻟ ﹽﹷﻨ ﹻ� ﹽﹻي ﺻ�� اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴه وﺳﻠﻢ ﹷﻓ ﹷﻘﺎ ﹷل ﻳﹷﺎ‬ ‫ﹷﻋ ْﻦ ﹹﻣ ﹷﻌﺎوﹻﻳﹷ ﹷﺔ ﺑْ ﹻﻦ ﹷﺟﺎه ﹷﹻﻤ ﹷﺔ ﹽﹹ‬

It Is Reported On The Authority of Mu'awiyah Ibn Jaheemah Sulami


That Jaheemah Came To The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬And Said, Ya
Rasool’Allah ‫ !ﷺ‬I Have Intended To Participate In Jihad (Fight In A

176
Battle), And I Have Resolved To Seek Your Blessed Advice. He ‫ﷺ‬
Said, Do You Have A Mother (i.e. Is Your Mother Alive)? He Said,
Yes! Remain With Her, For Paradise Is Under Her Feet. [Nasa’i
Shareef]

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is reminding us about this and he
is commanding us to break free from the shackles of the western
ideology, so that we do not fall into complete destruction.

He is warning us that if we do not leave this way of the modernists


and this western ideology, we will experience darkness, both in this
world and in the hereafter. He is further telling us that, those who
are caught up in this web of deceit which the world has spun around
them, think that this is their time and their way of shining (i.e.
becoming famous and popular), but he says that this is not the case,
it is only a delusional thought, for this is darkness. It is the darkness
of the heart, and it will lead to the darkness of the grave.

Another way of understanding this couplet is if we look at the word


‘Tawq’. It refers to a shackle, but it commonly refers to a yoke (i.e. a
shackle of slavery around the neck). Therefore, in one sense, Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also telling us that, do not wear the
necktie, because the necktie is a ‘yoke of slavery’ and it depicts the
false belief of the crucifixion of Hazrat Esa ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬as believed by the
Christians, whereas according to the Qur’an, Hazrat Esa ‫ ��يي ه �����م‬was
neither killed nor crucified, but He was raised into the Heavens.

Therefore, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that those of
you that proudly wear a necktie, thinking it makes you look good; to
the extent you wear it during your weddings and during your other
occasions; then know, that this is not something to be proud of, and
it is not beauty (i.e. light), but it is darkness, because it is the sign and

177
the mark of the western and Christian culture and it is that which will
cause you darkness here and in the hereafter.

Hence, he is telling us to forsake the necktie and break this shackle of


slavery to the West, for you think that it is a formal dress code but it
is a ‘yoke of submission’ to the Christian and western beliefs, which is
taking us away from the light and towards the darkness.

He is telling us that if you wish for true radiance and brightness, then
forsake their way and adopt the Sunnah of the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and you will attain pure light here and in the hereafter.

This is why Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said in his renowned
Tie Fatwa, ‘Hazrat Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬used to say that the Tie
is a refutation of the Quran. The persons sitting in the presence of
Hazrat Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬always observed him expressing
annoyance when he saw anybody wearing a tie around their neck.
Hazrat Mufti e Azam Hind ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬used to make that person take off his
tie. Further, he used to call it the sign of the Christians.’

This is why Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬used to often say,
‘Untie Your Ties With The Tie.’ So, it is also this message, which
Hazrat is communicating in this couplet, when he says,

Tawq e Tahzeeb e Farangi Torh Daalo Momino!


Teergi Anjaam Hai, Ye Roshni Ach’chi Nahiñ

Break The Shackles Of Western


Culture Now, O Believers!

Otherwise, The Consequence Will


Be Darkness, This (Fake) Light Is No Good

JO PA-E SUWAAL AAYE MUJHE DEKH KAR YE BOLE


ISAY CHAIN SE SULAAWO KE YE BANDA E NABI HAI

WHEN THE ANGELS COME TO QUESTION ME,


THEY WILL PROCLAIM ON LOOKING AT ME

HE IS THE SLAVE OF THE BELOVED NABI,


NOW LET HIM SLEEP COMFORTABLY

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about the moment when a true devotee and
a true slave of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬enters his grave and the Angels
come to question him.

Subhaan’Allah! Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, when I
leave this world and the Angels enter my grave to question me, and
even though it is the most difficult time, I have hope and I have faith
in the Mercy of Almighty Allah and in the Special Blessings of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬that, when the Angels do come to question me, and when
179
they look at me, they will say to each other, Now Let him sleep
comfortably; in other words, put him to sleep peacefully, for he is
already absorbed in the love of Aaqa e Do Aalam ‫ﷺ‬, and he is so
profoundly absorbed in the Love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬that the answer
is already visible from his state, and it is clear that he is a true slave of
Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

It could also mean that when they look at me as they question me,
they should simply look at me and already know my answer, even
before I respond, as they will recognise me as a true slave of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

What Murshid e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying here is that this is the wish of
every Aashiq e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬that, when they see him in his grave and
question him, then even before his answer, they should say, Let him
sleep comfortably, for he is a true slave of Aaqa Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

Now, to better understand why Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
is saying this, we need to look at the couplet in the Kalaam which
follows the couplet which we are discussing. Within it, Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Maiñ Maruñ To Mere Maula Ye Mala’ika Se Keh Deñ


Koyi Is Ko Mat Jagaana Abhi Aankh Lag Gayi Hai

After My Death Say To The Angels,


O My Master! O My Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬

None Should Now Wake Him,


He Has Just Fallen Asleep Peacefully

180
In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, it
is my wish and the wish of every Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬that when I die,
the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬should say to the Angels, Do Not Wake Him
Now, For He Has Just Fallen Asleep In My Love.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, I
will make this request to Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬as I pass away, that Ya
Rasool’Allah ‫ﷺ‬, tell them to allow me to remain asleep in Your Love
and in the Love of Your Mubaarak Face.

In saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is explaining his
deep love for Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and his expectation and his Yaqeen
(conviction), that when Akhtar Raza closes his eyes, he will be able to
say this to Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for at that moment Akhtar Raza and
every true slave of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬will be blessed with seeing the Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬in
their final moments.

This Yaqeen in the Love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is further found in


another couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, wherein he
says,

Aap Ki Tal’at Ko Dekha Jaan Di


Qabr Mein Pahuncha To Dekha Aap Haiñ

Upon Seeing Your Sacred Countenance, I Surrendered My Life


Upon Reaching My Grave, I Saw There Too You Are

Subhaan’Allah! This is the Yaqeen of a true slave of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬,


that my Aaqa ‫ ﷺ‬will save me from the difficult moments in the grave
and He ‫ ﷺ‬will be there for me as I leave this world. The original
couplet can be further understood from a couplet of Ghaus ul Waqt
Huzoor Sayyidi Sarkaar Mufti e Azam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, wherein he says,

181
Ye Kya Sawaal He Mujh Se, Ke Kis Ka Banda Hai
Meiñ Jis Ka Banda Huñ, Hai Noor Baar Aankhoñ Mein

What Kind of A Question Is This; That Whose Slave Am I?


The One Whose Slave I am, Is Glowing Radiantly In My Eyes

Now, when we read this couplet of Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,
we will understand the initial couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬,
as to another reason why the Angels should say, Let Him Sleep
Comfortably!

It is because in his eyes, the Radiant Manifestations of Nabi Kareem


‫ ﷺ‬are already glowing brightly, and we can see in his eyes, the

Manifestations of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for this is that blessed


personality, who always regarded himself as a slave of Nabi Kareem
‫ﷺ‬.

O SUNNI! THE REMINISCENCE OF OUR MASTER,


IS SUCH A FLAME WHICH WE IGNITED

JUST BY SITTING IN HIS REMEMBRANCE,


THE HEART OF THE NAJDIS ARE INCINERATED

Attempted Explanation: My Beloved Murshid e Kaamil, My Life and


The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
mentioning many important points in this couplet.

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is firstly telling us that, O Sunnis!
We are all truly blessed to have kindled in our hearts the flame of the
love of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. In other words, he is telling us that
this flame is not any ordinary flame, but it is the flame of the Love,
Remembrance and Reminiscence of Allah’s Most Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

183
In this couplet, he is also passing another important message. He is
telling us in a veiled manner, that the real Sunnis are those who have
kindled and ignited in their hearts the true love for Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.
In other words, he is telling us that we are the real Sunnis, for we are
the ones who remember the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬with complete love
and devotion, also we are the ones who have kindled
His ‫ ﷺ‬Remembrance in our hearts, and we are the ones, who sit in
the remembrance of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and we are the ones, when we
gather in the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, the Najdis are infuriated and
burn in enmity. In other words, the real Sunnis are the Sunni
Bareilvis, for we are the ones who cause the hearts of the Najdis and
all the deviants to be incinerated.

In other words, We Sunni Bareilvis, the followers and the lovers of


The Ahle Bayt and all The Sahaba e Kiraam and the true devotees of
Ghaus e Azam, Khwaja e Azam, Mujad’did e Azam and Mufti e Azam
and the Awliya e ‘Izaam, have ignited and kindled such Flames of The
Beloved Nabi’s ‫ ﷺ‬Love in our hearts, that when we sit together to
remember the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and when we commemorate and
celebrate the gatherings of the Remembrance of our Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, such as
when celebrating the Moulood un Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, then the hearts of the
Najdis are incinerated.

In saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also passing
another message. He is saying that the real Sunnis are not those who
befriend the Najdis, the Wahabis, the Deobandis, the Sulhe-Kullis and
the other deviant sects, but they are those, that when they sit
together and remember Almighty Allah and His Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬,
they cause the evil and diseased hearts of the deviants to burn.

In other words, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, if
you wish to keep the enemies of Almighty Allah and His
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬away from you, and if you wish to incinerate their hearts
184
and burn down their bastions of kufr, then increase the
remembrance of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, by reciting Durood Shareef in
abundance and by sending Durood and Salaams upon Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬in all your gatherings, and in this way, you will burn their
hearts and further ruin them.

In saying this, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also saying that
it is the duty of the Sunnis to remember the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in a
manner whereby they also refute the enemies of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, as
this was the manner of Great Personalities such as Hazrat Has’saan
Ibn Thaabit ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and all the other Beloveds of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

In this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is encouraging us
to say, Ya Rasool’Allah ‫ﷺ‬, for the Najdis burn in enmity when they
hear this, and he is further encouraging the Sunnis to increase the
gatherings of the remembrance of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for in the
remembrance of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is the remembrance of
Almighty Allah, and therefore it is mentioned in Shifa Shareef that
Almighty Allah said to Huzoor e Aqdas ‫ﷺ‬,

‫ﺟﻌﻠﺘک ذ� ﹱا ﻣﻦ ذ�ي ﻓﻤﻦ ذ�ک ﻓﻘﺪذ��ي‬

I Have Made You (Muhammad ‫ )ﷺ‬A Remembrance From My


Remembrance, So Whoever Has Remembered You, He Has
Remembered Me. [Al Istimdaad With Reference to Ash Shifa]

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬also inspires this message in
another one of his poetic couplets, from which it is understood that
the remembrance which burns the hearts of the Najdis is the
commemorating of the Meelad Shareef,

185
Tez Kijiye Seena e Najdi Ki Aag
Zikr e Aayaat e Wilaadat Kijiye

Fuel The Fire In The Najdi’s Hearts, With A Powerful Explosion


Do So By Celebrating His Moulood With Passion & Jubilation

And to conclude this attempted explanation, I will present the


couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah Imam
Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, which is indeed a couplet which inspired the
couplet which we are discussing today. The Great Imam said,

Ghaiz Me Jal Jaa-eñ Be-Deenoñ Ke Dil


Ya Rasool’Allah Ki Kasrat Kijiye

May The Hearts Of The Deviants, Burn In Anger And Distress,


Ya Rasool’Allah! In Abundance, Continue to Profess

HE IS THE BENEFACTOR OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE,


HOW WILL HE TURN ME AWAY EMPTY,

O ALLAH! I REPENT FOR EVEN THINKING THIS,


MY NAFS IS CAUSING THIS COMPLEXITY

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about the Grand Generosity of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

In the first line of this couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
reminding us once again about the Aqida of The Ahle Sunnat. In other
words, he is highlighting the Aqida, that The Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is
indeed our Benefactor, by the Grace of Almighty Allah. It is our Aqida
that Almighty Allah has made Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬the Most Generous
amongst the entire creation and Blessed Him ‫ ﷺ‬with The Grand
Power and Authority of Legislation and Distribution.
187
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then speaking to himself in the
second line of the couplet and saying that, how did you even consider
that you would be turned away empty handed from the Grand Court
of Nabi Kareem ‫ ?ﷺ‬This is only the Nafs (i.e. the inner self) which is
trying to cause this complexity, for in reality The Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is
the Benefactor by Allah’s Divine Decree, and everything that
everyone receives in this world is through Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for
He ‫ ﷺ‬says,

‫اﻧﻤﺎ اﻧﺎ ﻗﺎﺳﻢ واﷲ ﻣﻌﻄﻲ‬

Indeed, I Am The One Who Distributes, And Allah


Is The Divine Giver. [Sahih Bukhari Shareef]

Now, if one reads the couplet carefully, you will realise that Huzoor
Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is not only speaking to himself, but he is
also speaking to every Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and in doing so, he is first
addressing himself rather than addressing the people at large, as this
is the manner of humility, whereby the true servants of Allah do not
advise the people before they address themselves.

So, it seems as if what Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying
to himself and that which he is conveying to every Sunni Sahih ul
Aqida Muslim is that, there are times while seeking the Special
Blessings of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and when going to Madina Shareef, that
the mind and the heart starts to wander, and one starts to think that
I am so weak and I do not know how to really ask, as I am not even
worthy of this; and sometimes the mind and thoughts say to you
that, you will probably come back empty-handed and you will not
receive what you wished for, and you probably will not attain those
blessings which you expected, because you are such a weak and
sinful servant.
188
Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is thus addressing himself and
saying, how could you even think this way? In other words, O Akhtar!
And O every Aashiq e Mustafa ‫ !ﷺ‬Your Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is the Most Exalted
and The Most Revered in the entire creation and there is none more
generous than Him ‫ﷺ‬, and none in Allah’s Creation loves you more
than Him ‫ﷺ‬.

He ‫ ﷺ‬is that Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, who would spend His ‫ ﷺ‬nights weeping for us.
He ‫ ﷺ‬never allowed us to remain empty-handed at any stage in
His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Life, and He ‫ ﷺ‬Will neither allow us to return empty-
handed today, nor will He ‫ ﷺ‬allow us to be empty-handed on the
Day of Reckoning, for He ‫ ﷺ‬is Rahmatulil Aalameen. He is the Mercy
unto the Worlds, and it is through His ‫ ﷺ‬Mercy and through
His ‫ ﷺ‬Mediation that the entire universe is surviving. So, how will
He ‫ ﷺ‬ever leave you empty-handed, for you are from amongst those
who love Him ‫ﷺ‬, and He ‫ ﷺ‬is aware of the condition of your heart.

He ‫ ﷺ‬is the Benefactor of the entire universe, which includes even


those who do not believe in Him ‫ﷺ‬. So, how then will He ‫ ﷺ‬leave
those who believe in Him ‫ ﷺ‬and those who love Him ‫ﷺ‬, empty-
handed, when He ‫ ﷺ‬Himself loves us so dearly!

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is then saying, O Allah! I repent
and I reject such a thought, for this is not what I believe, and it is not
what any Aashiq believes, but this is the tactic of the Nafs (inner self)
to make you feel vulnerable, and it seems as if Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying, O Akhtar Raza, the truth of the matter
is that which your Noble Forefather Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
said,

Mere Kareem Se Gar Qatra Kisi Ne Maanga


Darya Baha Diye Haiñ, Durr Be Baha Diye Haiñ

189
From The Court Of My Generous Master,
For A Single Drop If Anyone Wished,

Oceans He Made To Flow, In Which


Precious Pearls Abundantly Flourished

In other words, how can you be left empty-handed from the Court of
The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, for no matter how weak and sinful you may
think you are, His ‫ ﷺ‬Special Blessing is there for this reason, so that
you are not left unrewarded, and our Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is He ‫ﷺ‬, regarding
Whom, my Noble Grandfather taught us, that if you ask The Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬for a single drop, He ‫ ﷺ‬grants you oceans, and not only does
he grant you the oceans, but He ‫ ﷺ‬even grants you the most
precious pearls which are in the depths of the oceans, so always
know that our Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬will never turn us away empty-handed.

This couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching us
how to truly love Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬and how to shun and control our Nafs if it
ever tries to leave us vulnerable. It also teaches us how to fortify our
faith and our conviction in the Grand Generosity of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.
Finally, it must be said that this couplet is in fact the manifestation of
a couplet which was written by the Maternal Grandfather and the
Murshid e Kaamil of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, Ghaus ul
Waqt, Huzoor Sayyidi Mufti e Azam e Hind ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, who said,

DEATH IN HIS TRUE LOVE,


BRINGS LIFE WITHOUT REMISSION

WHY THEN, SHOULD WE NOT LOVE


DEATH, WITH COMPLETE SUBMISSION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is reminding us of the reality of life and death.

There is no doubt that we will all die one day, and it is a fact that this
world is only a transit point towards the ultimate journey into the
hereafter. However, many have lost sight of the true meaning of
success, and many have forgotten about what our means of being
blessed with a great life in the hereafter is.

191
It is this, which Huzoor Murshid e Kareem, Sarkaar e Taajush Shariah
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying in this couplet. He is saying that if you want an

everlasting life without remission in the hereafter, and if you want a


great life in the hereafter, then die in the true love of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

In other words, sacrifice the pleasures of this worldly life and sacrifice
the temporary, transitory and materialistic entities of this perishing
world and this ending life, for the great and everlasting life of the
hereafter, by making the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and the Love of the
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬the purpose of your life.

He is then saying, when sacrificing everything for the Love of Nabi


Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and when to die in the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, is the
means to an everlasting life and the means to a great life, then why
should we not love death. In other words, why should you not wait
for that moment when you will be blessed with seeing the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in your grave?

Here, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking in a spiritual riddle. He
is saying that, if you sacrifice everything for Him ‫ ﷺ‬and breathe your
last breath in His ‫ ﷺ‬Love, then you will attain a life without
remission; in other words, you will be blessed with an everlasting life,
and then he is saying, why then should you not love death?

Subhaan’Allah! What is Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬really


telling us? He is telling us that the means to that everlasting life in the
hereafter, which will take us into the Palaces of Jannah, is to sacrifice
everything for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and to breathe our last breath
in His ‫ ﷺ‬Love, because the only way that you can attain this great life
of the hereafter, is if you truly love Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬.

192
He is saying that if you truly love Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬, why should you not
love death, for the only means of attaining this life in which you will
see the Beloved Nabi’s ‫ ﷺ‬Sacred Manifestation and be blessed with
an everlasting life, is if you leave this world with Imaan, and to die
with Imaan is to die in the love of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, as a true slave of Nabi ‫ﷺ‬.

So, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying to himself and to us that,
when to die in the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is the means of an
everlasting life, then love death, and when you love death because of
the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, then death itself will embrace you with
love, and your soul will be removed in the love of your Master ‫ﷺ‬.

In other words, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is teaching us that, dying
in the love of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and sacrificing everything for
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is the means to true life in the hereafter, for the Sahaba e

Kiraam ‫ ر ض�وا نن ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج���ن نين‬did the same in the most exalted manner and they
have received such a blessed position in the hereafter.

Hazrat Siddique e Akbar ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬sacrificed everything in the love of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and he was even willing to give his life in the love of
Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and he was blessed with such a wonderful everlasting life,
that he got to rest beside The Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, and he got to
remain in His ‫ ﷺ‬Blessed Shade until Qiyaamat.

Siddique e Akbar ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬knew that true life is to be a slave of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, and to be willing to even sacrifice your life for Him ‫ﷺ‬,
like he did in the cave of Thaur, for this is the grandest Fard and
obligation in life, and this awards the true lover with a life which is
beyond one’s imagination.

The essence of this couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬can be
observed in the following couplet of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Azeemul
Barkat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬:
193
Saabit Huwa Ke Jumla Faraa’iz Furoo’ Haiñ
Asl ul Usool Bandagi Us Taajwar Ki Hai

It Has Thus Been Proven, That All Obligations


Are Secondary And Subjected,

The Fundamental Principle, Is To Serve


This Grand King, Completely Devoted

Siddique Balke Ghaar Me Jaan Us Pe De Chuke


Awr Hifz e Jaañ To Jaan e Furooz e Ghurar Ki Hai

Upon Him ‫ ﷺ‬In The Cave, His Life,


Siddique In Fact Sacrificed,

Whereas One’s Greatest Duty, Is To


Make Sure, His Life Is Protected

So, we understand from one of the secrets of this couplet of Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬, that we should learn from these Beloveds of
The Most Beloved ‫ﷺ‬, and we should be prepared to give our lives in
His ‫ ﷺ‬love, and we too will then attain a great life in the hereafter,
through the blessings of the lives of those, who gave their lives in
His ‫ ﷺ‬Love. So, love death and do not hate death, for it is the Bridge
which will one day take you to your Beloved ‫ﷺ‬.

Ibn Abdur Rabah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬said to Makhool, ‘Do You Like (Desire)
Jannat?’ He Replied, ‘Who Would Not Like (Desire) Jannat?’ So, He
Said, ‘Love Death Because One Can Never See Jannat (In Reality)
Before Dying.’ [Sharhus Sudoor]

Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

AATISH E DOZAKH BUJHAANE KE LIYE


TEZ TAR NAAR E MUHABBAT KIJIYE

IF YOU WISH TO EXTINGUISH,


HELL-FIRE’S ERUPTION

INCREASE WITHIN YOUR HEART,


THE INTENSITY OF LOVE’S IGNITION

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬is explaining to us, how to extinguish the fire of Hell.

In this beautiful couplet, Murshid e Kareem Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush


Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us that, if you wish to extinguish the flames of
Hell, then increase the intensity of the flames of love.

Here, in the second couplet, I have done an explanatory translation


and I have thus said, ‘increase within your heart’.

195
The reason for me saying ‘within your heart’, is because true love is
that which is in the heart, and it is this Love, which Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling us to increase and strengthen.

There are numerous perspectives from which one can understand


and appreciate this couplet of Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬. I
will present here, a few of those which have come to my mind:

The First Perspective: Is the apparent sense, which means that if you
wish to extinguish the flames of Hell, then increase the flames of
love.

Now here, in the apparent sense, this means that if you wish to
extinguish the flames of the hereafter, then increase the flame of
true love. Now, which love is Murshid e Kareem speaking about? He
is speaking about the True Love for Nabi e Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

The Second Perspective: Is in the hidden sense, which means that if


you wish to extinguish the flames of your sins, which will drag you
towards the raging fire of Hell, then increase in your heart the flames
of the Love for Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬, for when this happens, you
will abstain from sinning, and the flames of your sinful desires will be
extinguished, and you will thus be saved from the flames of Hell-Fire.

The Third Perspective: Is a further hidden sense, which means that


we should recite Durood Shareef in abundance in the Love of Nabi
Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, for reciting Durood Shareef protects one from the fire of
evil and from the Hellfire.

Further, by reciting Durood Shareef you will increase (i.e. strengthen)


the flames of the Love of The Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, and this will grant
your nearness to Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬here and in the hereafter.

196
It is reported by Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬ that the Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫س �ﹻي ﻳﹷ ْﻮ ﹷم ا ْﻟﻘ ﹷﹻﻴﺎ ﹷﻣﺔﹻ أﹷ ْﻛ�ﹷ�ﹹه ْﹹﻢ ﻋﹷ� ﹷ ﹽﹷ� ﹷﺻﻼﹷ ﹱة‬
‫أﹷ ْو� ﹷ� اﻟ ﹽﹷﻨﺎ ﹻ‬

The Nearest To Me On The Day Of Qiyaamat Will Be The One Who


Recites Durood Upon Me In Abundance. [Jaami’ut Tirmizi]

Therefore, nearness to Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬, will surely extinguish the


flames of destruction here and in the hereafter. Thus, the Beloved
Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬said, The one who sends one thousand Durood upon me
(with sincerity), Allah will make his body Haraam upon the fire of
Hell.

Now that we have understood these three perspectives, I must now


ask, why did Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬specifically say,
increase the flames of love, in this couplet, and why did he not say
kindle (i.e. light) the flames of love?

This, I think is because Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is telling
us that, we are all Aashiqaan e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and the heart of every
Aashiq e Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬already has the lamp of love present in it.

So, he is saying that, if you wish to extinguish the Fire of Hell, it is


now time to increase the intensity of those flames of love, in that
lamp of love, because it is due to this brightness in your heart, and it
is through this love of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬which is glowing in your heart, when
you pass over Pul Siraat, the fire of Hell will say to the Aashiqaan e
Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬, O Believers! Pass over me swiftly, for your light (your
radiance) is extinguishing my flames.

197
This is the kind of love and these are the flames of love which Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is speaking about in this couplet.

In this couplet of Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, there is also the
reflection of the couplet of his Noble Forefather Sayyidi Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬wherein,
the Has'saan ul Hind says,

Ay ‘Ishq Tere Sadqe Jalne Se Ch’hutay Saste


Jo Aag Bujha Degi Wo Aag Laga-ee Hai

O True Love, It Is Through Your Special Blessing,


That We Were Inexpensively Freed From Burning

The Flame Which Will Extinguish Everything,


Is That Flame Which We Have Been Kindling

AALAM PAR HUKOOMAT HAI

HERE TOO IS HIS AUTHORITY,


THERE TOO PREVAILS HIS EMINENCE,

MADINA IS THE WORLD’S CAPITAL,


OVER BOTH THE WORLDS IS ITS EMINENCE

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is once again discussing the Grand Excellence of
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬. Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
expressing the Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat, that the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬
has been blessed with such Grand Authority and Control from The
Divine Court of Almighty Allah, that His ‫ ﷺ‬Authority prevails in both
worlds, over the skies and on the earth as well.

199
In other words, the Grand Authority of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is over the
Worldly Domain and over The Heavenly Domain as well. Allah
Almighty is Rab’bul Aalameen.

In other words, Almighty Allah is The Creator, Cherisher and


Sustainer of all the worlds and the entire creation, and He made His
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬Rahmatul Lil Aalameen (Mercy unto the worlds).
In other words, His ‫ ﷺ‬Mercy and Authority, by the Will of Almighty
Allah, is over both the worlds.

Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is the Nabi of the humans and the Jinns, and He ‫ ﷺ‬is
the Nabi of all on the earth. Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is also the Nabi of the
sun, the moon, the stars and the Heavens, so He ‫ ﷺ‬is also Nabi ul
Ambia ‫ ﷺ‬and He ‫ ﷺ‬is the Nabi of all The Angels as well. Thus, He ‫ﷺ‬
has been blessed with Authority over all of them, and thus indeed,
He ‫ ﷺ‬has Authority over both the worlds. The Beloved ‫ ﷺ‬has been
blessed with such Grand Authority that we have been commanded to
take whatever He ‫ ﷺ‬Gives and to abstain from whatever He ‫ﷺ‬
Forbids, just as Almighty Allah says in Surah Hashr, Verse 7:

‫ۚ ﹷو ﹷﻣﺎ ﻧ ﹷ ٰہٮﻜﹹ ْﻢ ﹷﻋ ْﻨ ﹹہ ﻓﹷﺎﻧ ْ ﹷﺘ ﹹہ ْﻮا‬


�‫ﹷو ﹷﻣ ۤﺎ �ﺗٰٮﻜﹹ ﹹﻢ اﻟﺮﹽﹷ ﹹﺳ ْﻮ ﹹل ﹷﻓﺨ ﹹﹹﺬ ْوہﹹ‬

And whatever the Beloved Rasool gives, take it, and whatever
he forbids, abstain from it. [Surah Hashr (59), Verse 7]

Huzoor Sayyidi Muhad’dith e Kabeer Qibla says, If we wish to realise


the power and Grand Authority of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, then we
should observe the depths of His ‫ ﷺ‬Power and Authority in the
matters of Deen, and then only will we understand the Excellence
and the Authority which He ‫ ﷺ‬has been blessed with in all other
issues.

200
It is this message, which Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is
conveying in this couplet. In other words, here too, the Word of Nabi
Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is Final and there too, the word of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬is
final. Thereafter, in the second line of the couplet, Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, every kingdom and every country
of the world has a Capital City, but the Capital City of the entire
universe is Madina Shareef. In other words, the Capital City of The
Heavens and The Capital City of the Entire Earth, is Madina Shareef,
and The Authority and The Directives of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬are being
Decreed from His ‫ ﷺ‬Raudha Shareef in Madina Shareef. So, Murshid
e Kareem ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that in both the worlds is the Grand Authority
of Nabi Kareem ‫ ﷺ‬and the Most Exalted Station of all, The Grand
Stations, is The Raudha e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬which is in Madina Shareef, so
over every place in the Skies and Earth, is the Grandness of Madina
Shareef.

Here, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is expressing that, indeed
the Grand Authority of Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬is over both the worlds, and Madina
Shareef is the Grand Capital of the Universe, for in reality, both the
worlds have been created for Nabi ‫ﷺ‬. Thus, Sayyidi Aala Hazrat
Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Faazil e Bareilvi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says,

Zameen o Zamaañ Tumhaare Liye,


Makeen o Makaañ Tumhaare Liye

Chuneen o Chunaañ Tumhaare Liye,


Bane Do Jahaañ Tumhaare Liye

For You, The Space And The Time Are Existing,


For You, Its Residents And Residence Are Existing

For You, All of This And All of That, Are Existing,


Created For You, Both The Worlds, Are Existing

The Qutb ul Aqtaab of This Era, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah


Hazrat Allama Mufti Imam Mohammed Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri
Azhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬beautifully says:

RAAT MERI DIN BANE UN KI LIQA E KHAYR SE


QABR ME JAB UN KI TAL’AT JAGMAGAA-E KHAYR SE

MAY MY NIGHT BECOME A BRIGHT DAY,


IN THE DESIRE TO MEET HIM BEFITTINGLY

WHEN IN MY GRAVE HIS HOLY MANIFESTATION


IS BRIGHTLY REFLECTED BEFITTINGLY

Attempted Explanation: In this couplet, My Beloved Murshid e


Kaamil, My Life and The Light of My Life, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush
Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is talking about the situation which a person will face in
his grave.

We all know well that the grave is a very dark and constricted place,
and once a person is placed in his grave and the grave is covered with
sand and sealed, then the darkness of the grave is darker than the
darkest night.

202
We also know that when one is in complete darkness, it causes one
to feel afraid, anxious and restless, and thus when one enters the
dark grave, one will most certainly feel a sense of apprehension, for
in the grave, each one of us will have to face Munkar and Nakeer, the
two Angels who have been appointed by Almighty Allah to question
us in our graves. Their appearance is sufficient to cause the dweller of
the grave, fear and apprehension, like never felt or experienced
before.

Therefore, this darkness and this apprehension, is what Huzoor


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is really talking about. He is saying that
when I enter my grave, due to being sealed inside, it will be like a
very dark night, and I am praying that my dark grave may become
radiant and bright and may it become so bright, that it feels like a
bright day.

Now, after saying this, he also mentions how this darkness of the
grave, which is darker than the darkest night, will be transformed
into brightness, brighter than the brightest days. Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that this darkness can only disappear,
and the light for which I am wishing can only appear, when the ‘One’,
Whom I desire to meet, enters my grave.

Who is Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬talking about? He is talking about
none other than, The Brightest Lamp of Our Graves, The Noor of
Almighty Allah, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬. Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says, that my dark grave, which is expected to
be darker than night, will be transformed into brightness, which is
brighter than the brightest day, when in my grave, appears Allah’s
Beloved and my Master Nabi Muhammad Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬.

203
He is saying that this is my wish, and this is my desire, for I know that
when He ‫ ﷺ‬will enter my grave, and I will get to make Ziyaarah of
the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬, then my entire grave will be bursting with Noor
(Light), for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is ‘The Noor of Allah’ and when He
‫ ﷺ‬enters my grave, then His ‫ ﷺ‬Radiance, will illuminate my entire

grave.
It is this very same message which Huzoor Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬
conveys in one of his beautiful couplets, when he says,

Qabr Me Lehra-enge Taa Hashr Chashme Noor Ke


Jalwa Farma Hogi Jab Tal’at Rasoolullah Ki

Until The Day of Reckoning, Flowing In My


Grave Will Be Fountains Of Radiance

When My Grave Will Be Blessed


By Rasoolullah’s ‫ ﷺ‬Holy Presence

Subhaan’Allah! This is the moment which every Aashiq e Rasool ‫ﷺ‬


waits for, when in his grave, the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬will appear, and
he will be blessed with seeing His ‫ ﷺ‬Radiant and Glowing Face, and
when He ‫ ﷺ‬will brighten his entire grave, with a brightness, like he
has never seen or experienced before. This is what Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is discussing here.

In this couplet, Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is also reinforcing the
Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat, that the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬will indeed
appear in our graves and we will be blessed with seeing the Beloved
Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and we will most certainly see Him ‫ﷺ‬. Huzoor Sayyidi
Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬discusses this Aqida of the Ahle Sunnat in one of
his Blessed Discourses.

204
The Great Imam says, The grave is the test and examination centre
for everyone, for both the truthful ones and the liars. This is the
examination spot for everyone. In this domain, (i.e. in the grave), we
will be asked three questions:

The First Question is:

‫ﹷﻣ ْﻦ ﹷر ﹽﹹﺑﻚﹷ‬

Who Is Your Rab’b (i.e. Your Creator)?

The ones who believe will answer by saying:

‫ﷲ‬
‫ﹷر� � ﹷ� ا ﹹ‬

My Rab’b Is Allah

The Second Question is:

‫ﹷﻣﺎ دﹻﻳْﻨﹹﻚﹷ‬

What Is Your Deen?

The Believer will answer:

‫دﹻﻳْ�ﹻي ْاﻻ ْﹻﺳ ﹷﻼ ﹹم‬

My Deen is Islam

205
The Third And Deciding Question is:

‫ﹷﻣﺎ ﹹﻛ ْﻨ ﹷﺖ ﹷ� ﹹﻘ ْﻮ ﹹل � ﹻ ْ� ﹷﺷﺎ ﹻن ٰه ﹷﺬا اﻟﺮﹽﹷ ﹹﺟﻞ‬

What Did You Used To Say About This Personality?

Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬then says, I want to ask you
something. In Arabic we say ‘Haadha’, in Urdu we say ‘Ye’ and ‘Wo’,
and in English we say ‘This’. These are used to indicate, point at or
gesture at or towards something (which is near). When you indicate,
(i.e. gesture) towards something, what is the requirement for it?

If you are indicating or pointing towards an object, it should be in


front of you, and near you, so the Mazhab of the Ahle Sunnat and the
Mazhab of Aala Hazrat is that which is apparent from the Ahadith.
Subhaan’Allah! Allahu Akbar!

At this time, the one who accepted the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬as a
Rasool, in other words, even without seeing Him ‫ ﷺ‬he accepted Him
‫ﷺ‬ as the Rasool, He will stand up, and say, This is Allah’s Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.
[End of Discussion From The Discourse]

One other interpretation of this couplet, is that Huzoor Sayyidi


Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is saying that, if there is any darkness in my
destiny, then this darkness will fade away and radiance will appear,
due to the appearance of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in my grave, for this
is the same brightness and this is the same countenance, which I saw
before I surrendered my life, and indeed, it is the same countenance I
will see at a greater degree, when I enter my grave.

206
Therefore, Huzoor Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says in another one of
his Kalaams,

Aap Ki Tal’at Ko Dekha Jaan Di


Qabr Mein Pahuncha To Dekha Aap Haiñ

Upon Seeing Your Sacred Countenance, I Surrendered My Life


Upon Reaching My Grave, I Saw There Too You Are

Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬says in one of his Blessed Discourses,
When a person keeps such a strong connection to Rasoolullah ‫ﷺ‬,
then when he passes away, his grave becomes radiant and full of
light.

Such a person kept his relation and connection with the Noor Waala
(i.e. The Most Radiant Personality), and that Noor Waala is such a
Noor Waala, that His ‫ ﷺ‬Deen is Noor, His ‫ ﷺ‬Kalima is Noor, and
hence the one who sincerely recites His ‫ ﷺ‬Kalima, also becomes
Noorani (i.e. radiant) and when he passes away and enters his grave,
then his grave is illuminated.

In this final couplet of this book, Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam e Ahle
Sunnat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati Sunni
Hanafi Bareilvi ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is conveying an important message. He is telling
us to absorb and drown ourselves in the love of Sayyiduna
Rasoolullah ‫ ﷺ‬and to wish for and to desire His ‫ ﷺ‬Ziyaarat more
than anything else, so that when we leave this world and enter our
dark graves, then our dark graves will be transformed into brightness,
through the Blessed Countenance of Nabi Kareem ‫ﷺ‬.

207
SAYYIDI A’LAA HAZRAT IMAM AHLE SUNNAT ASH
SHAH IMAM AHMED RAZA KHAN QAADIRI
BARAKAATI IS ‘A SIGN OF RECOGNITION’ FOR THE
DEEN OF ALMIGHTY ALLAH & HIS BELOVED RASOOL
‫ﷺ‬

As a conclusion to this book and because Murshid e Kareem Huzoor


Sayyidi Taajush Shariah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬spent his entire life encouraging and
guiding us to remain firm on Maslak e Aala Hazrat as he inspired us
keep ourselves connected to Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, due to them
being the signs of recognition of the Deen of the Beloved Nabi ‫ﷺ‬and
because he clearly said,

Maslak e Aala Hazrat Salaamat Rahe


Ek Pehchaan Deen e Nabi Ke Liye

May The Way of Aala Hazrat Remain Elevated


Heralding The Deen of Allah’s Nabi, It Is A Sign Well Accepted

Maslak e Aala Hazrat Pe Qaa-im Raho


Zindagi Di Gayi Hai Isi Ke Liye

On the Maslak of Aala Hazrat Remain Firmly Dedicated


Life Was Given To Us So That We Remain Completely Devoted

Maslak e Aala Hazrat Salaamat Rahe


Khayr Se Sunniyoñ Ki Jama’at Rahe

May The Maslak Of Aala Hazrat Remain Ever-Glowing


With Goodness May The Jama’at Of The Sunnis Remain Flourishing

208
I felt that it was necessary for me to expound on this discussion, so
that I may remind myself and all of you about how blessed we are to
be connected to Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat Imam Ahmed
Raza Khan ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and how important it is for us remain connected to
him and to the Maslak of Aala Hazrat.

We are now seeing more than ever, on a global level, that the
enemies of Islam and the badmazhabs (the deviant and misled sects)
especially the Sulhe Kullis (the agents of unholy unity) are raising
their heads once again, determined to harm and undermine the Ahle
Sunnat Wal Jama’at.

These wolves in sheep skin try to mislead the unsuspecting Sunni


Sahihul Aqida Muslims by masquerading as scholars and leaders of
the Ahle Sunnat, yet they regard many of the teachings and practices
of our pious predecessors as Bid’at and Kufr.

In such a time, it is of utmost importance to hold firmly to the pure


teachings and to shun and keep away from all the deviants and their
agents. More than ever, it is important to hold firmly to the way of
those, who have been chosen from the Court of Almighty Allah for
the protection and the preservation of our Deen and Imaan.

We must hold firmly to the way of the Noble Ahle e Bayt e ‘Izaam and

Illustrious Sahaba e Kiraam ‫ر ض� ضوان ا��� تن�ا�ى ي���م ا ج��� ين ضن‬, and to those blessed and pious
predecessors who have conveyed their true message to us.

In other words, we must hold firmly to the Awliya e Kaamileen and


the Ulama e Deen, especially the A’imma of the Madhab and the
Grand Personalities such as Huzoor Ghaus e Azam Jilani, Hazrat
Khwaja Ghareeb un Nawaaz Ajmeri, Imam Ahmed Raza Bareilvi, and
all those who are firmly attached to them, especially Huzoor Sayyidi
Muhad’dith e Kabeer, Hazrat Allama Mufti Ash Shah Imam Zia ul

209
Mustafa Qaadiri Amjadi and Huzoor Sayyidi Qaa’id e Millat, Hazrat
Allama Mufti Asjad Raza Qaadiri Razvi Noori.

One very important point to note is that no matter where in the


world one may be, he or she must know that Almighty Allah has
chosen Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri
‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬as ‘The Grand Sign of The Recognition’ of His Deen.

This Noble Aashiq e Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬is not just an Aalim and a Scholar of
the Sacred Sciences, but he is that personality who was completely
absorbed in the shoreless Oceans of the Love of the Beloved Rasool
‫ﷺ‬.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat, Imam e Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is that personality, who
in this era, instilled the true Love for the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬in the
hearts of the Muslims.

He strived to defend the Grand Station of the Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬and


to protect the Imaan of the Muslims, in a frightful time, when the
forces of Shaitaan the cursed, were working tirelessly to eliminate
this pure love from the hearts of the Muslim Ummah.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam e Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬and his City Bareilly
Shareef, have become the ‘Sign of Recognition’ in this era, and
Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬has been chosen from The Court of Almighty
Allah and His Beloved Habeeb ‫ ﷺ‬as a Grand Fountain of Light and
Love, which manifests the Pure Light of Deen and The Pure Love of
The Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬throughout the world.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬stood against the deviants and all the forces
of evil and singlehandedly unveiled their deviance, and their malice
against Allah and His Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

210
In doing so, he saved the Imaan of the Muslims until Qiyaamat, for
through his writings and his words, he revived the Deen of Almighty
Allah and resuscitated the Imaan of the Believers.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnah ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬was chosen as a ‘Saviour’,
so that he may guide our hearts towards Al Madinatul Munawwarah,
and so that he may direct us towards Ghaus e Azam and Khwaja e
Azam ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ ض�یھ�ا‬, in a time when the deviants were declaring this to be
‘Shirk’ and ‘Bid’at’.

Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬left no stone unturned, in
trying to protect the Imaan of the Muslim Ummah. Whilst doing this,
Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬established around him, a powerful fortress
of knowledge, wisdom and piety, in the form of his blessed sons, his
illustrious students and his distinguished Khulafa such as, Hujjatul
Islam Hazrat Allama Mufti Ash Shah Haamid Raza Khan Qaadiri
Barakaati, Ghaus ul Waqt Huzoor Mufti e Azam e Hind Ash Shah
Imam Mustafa Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati, Huzoor Sadrush Shariah
Badrut Tariqah Hazrat Mufti Qadi Imam Amjad Ali Azmi, Huzoor
Burhan e Millat Jabalpuri, Malik ul Ulama Allama Sayyid Zafrud’deen
Bihari, Sadrul Afaadil Allama Sayyid Na’eemud’deen Muradabadi, She
Be She Ahle Sunnat Hazrat Hashmati Ali Khan Qaadiri, Haami e Sunan
Mufti Mahmood Jaan Peshawari and Mubal’ligh e Islam Allama Abdul
Aleem Siddiqui Meeruti etc. (Allah Is Pleased With Them All), who
manifested and propagated the Pure Teachings of Islam in the shade
of Imam e Ahle Sunnat’s instructions, throughout the Globe.

It is undisputed by the Ummah that Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Azeem ul


Barkat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is a great reformer and a true Aashiq e Rasool ‫ﷺ‬. There is
no doubt that he was chosen by Almighty Allah as a Mujad’did and
there is no doubt that he is ‘A Grand Sign of Recognition’ for the
Deen e Mustafa ‫ﷺ‬.

211
There have always been signs of recognition in every era, and this has
been adopted since the Golden Era of the Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

There is a Hadith Shareef in Kitaab ul Imaan in Bukhari Shareef which


is as follows,

‫ﹷﺣ ﹽﹷﺪﺛﹷ ﹷﻨﺎ أﹷﺑﹹﻮ اﻟ ﹷْﻮﻟ ﹻﻴ ﹻﺪ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل ﹷﺣ ﹽﹷﺪﺛﹷ ﹷﻨﺎ ﹹﺷ ْﻌ ﹷﺒ ﹹﺔ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل أﹷ ْﺧ� ﹷ ﹷ��ﹻي ﹷﻋ ْﺒ ﹹﺪ اﷲﹻ ﺑْ ﹹﻦ ﹷﻋ ْﺒ ﹻﺪ اﷲﹻ ﺑْ ﹻﻦ ﹷﺟ�ْ� ٍ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل‬
‫ﹷﺳﻤﹻ ْﻌ ﹹﺖ أﹷ�ﹷ ﹱﺴﺎ ﹷﻋ ﹻﻦ اﻟ ﹽﹷﻨ ﹻ� ﹽﹻي ﺻ�� اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴه وﺳﻠﻢ ﻗﹷﺎ ﹷل آ ﹷﻳ ﹹﺔ اﻹ ﹻ ﹷﻳﻤﺎ ﹻن ﹹﺣ ﹽﹹﺐ اﻷﹷ�ْ ﹷﺼﺎرﹻ ﹷوآ ﹷﻳ ﹹﺔ‬
‫اﻟ ﹽﹻﻨﻔﹷﺎ ﹻق �ﹹ ْﻐ ﹹﺾ اﻷﹷ�ْ ﹷﺼﺎرﹻ‬

Sayyiduna Imam Bukhari ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬narrates this Hadith Shareef from
Hazrat Sayyiduna Anas Ibn Malik ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬that the Beloved Nabi ‫ ﷺ‬said,

‫آﻳﹷ ﹹﺔ اﻹ ﹻ ﹷﻳﻤﺎ ﹻن ﺣﹹ ﹽﹹﺐ اﻷﹷ�ْ ﹷﺼﺎرﹻ ﹷوآﻳﹷ ﹹﺔ اﻟ ﹽﹻﻨﻔﹷﺎ ﹻق �ﹹ ْﻐ ﹹﺾ اﻷ ﹷ ْ� ﹷﺼﺎرﹻ‬

The Sign of Imaan Is The Love For The Honourable Ansaar And The
Sign of Hypocrisy Is Hatred And Animosity For The Ansaar

This Hadith Shareef proves that in every era, there was a sign of
recognition of the Deen, in this time the sign of recognition is Sayyidi
Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

His Maslak has become the sign of Haq and Maslak e Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ننہ‬
is indeed another name of Maslak e Ahle Sunnat.

There have always been those who harboured animosity against


these blessed servants of Allah Almighty, and likewise, there are
those who despise Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬, for he unveiled their
deviance and their hypocrisy.
212
On the other hand there are those who claim to be Sunnis but they
slander Imam e Ahle Sunnat, because he gave verdicts against their
false innovations and their rebellious practices.

Indeed, Almighty Allah chooses whom He Wills as ‘The Sign of


Recognition’ for His Deen, and Alhamdu Lillah, Almighty Allah has
chosen Sayyidi Aala Hazrat ‫ ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬for this.

Those who have opposed the Noble Mission of The Love for The
Beloved Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬which Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam e Ahle Sunnat
stood for, have been destroyed and their evil plots were destroyed
with them. This will surely be the outcome of such people in this
present day and age as well.

As Sunni Sahih ul Aqida Muslims, we should be honoured and pleased


to be granted the opportunity of being humble disciples and
followers of Imam Ahle Sunnat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan
Qaadiri ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬.

We can never repay his favour upon the Ummah, for saving our
Imaan from the thieves of Imaan. How can we not be indebted to a
personality who was chosen by Almighty Allah for the Protection of
the Deen?

To serve Maslak e Aala Hazrat and to adhere to Maslak e Aala Hazrat


is to serve and adhere to the Mission of Ishq e Mustafa ‫ ﷺ‬and this is
a means of immense honour and a means of attaining immense
blessings.

Remember! Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Imam Ahle Sunnat Shah Imam


Ahmed Raza Khan Qaadiri Barakaati ‫ر ض�ی ال�ہ � ضنہ‬is the beloved of Huzoor
Ghaus e Azam, Huzoor Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz and all the Beloveds
of Almighty Allah and His Beloved Rasool ‫ﷺ‬.

213
If you wish to be truly accepted in the Court of the Masha’ikh, then
remain connected to that Imam who gave us their Daaman e Karam
in our hands and to his way. Hold firmly to Aala Hazrat and Maslak e
Aala Hazrat.

May Almighty Allah keep us and our children and all our descendants
firm on Maslak e Aala Hazrat which is another name for Maslak e
Ahle Sunnat, and may Allah save us from the deviants and their
agents of unholy unity. Aameen.
