1. The details of the birth

The Chief Justice Abu Nasar Saleh bin Nasr bin Shaikh Abdul Razzak bin Hazrat
Sheikh Mohiuddin (R.A.) who has narrated that when the drops of the clouds of this
world and the pearl of the river of the knowledge of God and from the height of the
sky of the backbone of his father and which have entered and transmigration into
the womb of the oyster shell of his mother and at that time his mother's age was
approximately 60 years old and this is his miracle of manifest and clear evident. The
period of 60 years of age is the time of disappointment, of procreation and
reproduction.His existence which was appeared like a habit of the miracle
The meaning and interpretation of the above Persian couplet are as follows.
“ Yes, oh darwesh this dead and sad heart which remains always disappointed with
the realization of Allah. If due to love letters and due to his kindness if he will
become the knower of secrets and treasure of lights then there is no matter of
surprise.”
The meaning and interpretation of the above Persian couplet further explained ,
are as follows.
“Oh, darwesh, it should be clear that this is a period which is a period of
disappointment that while getting the lights of the breath of the kindness and with
this there will be no open the flower of hope till such that there will not blow the
kindness of breeze of all-embracing from Allah. ”
As per the tradition of Abu Nasser Salah, the Shaikh Abdul Quader was born in
the year 470 Hegira. And as per narration of
Abul Fazal Ahmed, he was born in the year 471 Hegira. There is another tradition
which confirms the above last tradition.
Shaikh Abu Saeed Abdallah and Um Jamila who have narrated this tradition for
number of times that the Shaikh Abdul Quader's mother when her son of the good
luck Abdul Quader who was born and who did not use to drink the milk during
daytime in the month of Ramadan and she has said that once due to cloud the moon
in the Ramadhan month could not be seen in the sky. The people have come to see
her and have asked what is the condition? She said that “My son did not drink milk
today.” At last it was able to know that it was the day of the Ramadan month.”
There was become talk of the town of this matter in the whole city that there was a
born a boy in Sadat (Sadat (Arabic: ‫ )سادات‬is a suffix, which is given to females
believed to be descendants of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad) family who did not use
to drink milk during the day time.” The Chief Justice (Qazi Qazi Al-Qaza) Al- Abi
Nasar who narrated the tradition which was said by his uncle Abdul Wahab that the
learned and saintly guides of the non-Arab region who said that “When Shaikh Abdul
Quader was born he did not use to drink milk during the day time in the month of
Ramadan.”
The Shaikh’s son Shaikh Abdul Razzaq, who said tradition like
this that “When I used to play at a younger age with the boys than there will be
used to hearing an invisible voice in which it will be said, “Oh lucky master come
toward me.” When I will hear that voice, then I could not find the caller here and
there.” And due to fear which will be the habit of the boys to go and run toward lap
and fallen into it by my mother. Now I will hear this call in the loneliness. He also
said that during the youth period
when I will engage in the travel and tourism then I will use to hear “Oh, Abdul
Quader I have made you attached.” But the caller did not use to be seen by me.
During the period of endeavours when there will be overpowering of the sleep then
at that time I used to hear the call “Oh Abdul Quader I have not created you for
sleep. And I have made you connect with mine. And this is that you were nothing
before and now you have become something. So do not be careless of me.”
Shaikh Abdul Razzak who has also stated that the people have asked him that,
“When did you know that Allah has made you as your friend.” He said that “At the
age of ten years when he used to go to school. Then at that time I used to find
moving of the angels around me. And when I will reach the school, then I used to
hear sayings of the angel to give place to the friend of Allah.” It is an event of one
day that I have seen one person with whom I did not
have the previous introduction to that
person.When he heard the call of the angels then that person asked with a schoolboy
“Who is that boy.?” Then he said “ Saikun lahu leshan azeem yati fala yamna
wayatmakan fala yahjab wa
yaqrab fala yamkas.”
After the forty years of this event, I have recognized the above person and who
was among Abdal (an order of saints) of that period.
Shaikh Abdul Razzak who has narrated that my father used to say that “He has
come to Baghdad from Jilan at the age of 18 years. A group of elite (sheikh) persons
who have narrated that Hazrat Mohiuddin who has reached Baghdad in the year 488
Hegira. And after many endeavours, he was engaged in the acquiring of the
knowledge.First, he has studied the holy Quran
then afterward he has engaged in the study of the Fiqa (Islamic jurisprudence),
Hadith (a narrative record of the sayings or customs of the Prophet Muhammad
and his companions) and knowledge of the religion from the service of the teachers
who were appointed for this purpose and in the short period of time he has
acquired such perfection and so for this reason he has become to be competent
among the colleagues of his time. Then all eloquent persons of the Arab who were in
desirous of his speech and all of them engaged in obtaining the benefits of his
knowledge from him.
Shaikh Abu Abdallah, Mohammed, who has narrated that shaikh used to say
he still was in his childhood period that one day on the day of Arafah (The Day of
Arafah is an Islamic holiday that falls on the 9th day of Dhu al-Hijjah of the lunar
Islamic Calendar.) I was followed one cow and began going behind her and she was
going to the jungle area. Then at that time cow turned his face toward me and she
said that “Oh Abdul Quader you did not create for this purpose. And you have not
given the order for this.” And at that time I was becoming afraid and has come back
to my house and reached to the roof of the house and I have seen Hajj pilgrimage
persons standing in the Arafah then I went to see my mother and has asked her “To
engage him in the work of Allah. And give me permission to go Baghdad about
acquiring of the knowledge. And to visit holy persons of Allah there.” She has
asked the reason for this matter. Then I have told her about the event of the cow in
Arafah. So she was weeping and stood from there and she has brought 80 dinars
amount remaining from the inheritance of my father. Among that amount, she has
taken 40 dinars for my brother and balance 40
dinars she has kept and stitched in my shirt’s cloth under the armpit and she has
given me permission for travel to Baghdad city. She has taken the pledge from me
for not telling lies. And she has come outside of the house to say God bye to me.
And she has said to me that “For the sake of Allah she has disconnected with me
all her connections and till the day of judgment she will not see my face.” I have
joined the small group of the caravan to journey to Baghdad. When we have passed
from Hamdan city then in that place 60 horsemen who appeared there and encircled
the caravan and nobody did not care about me. But one person among them came
toward me and has asked “Oh fakir what you have with you.? I have told that “ I
have 40 dinars with me.” Then he has asked,” Where are there.?” I have told that
under the armpit stitched into the cloth. He thought that I was joking with him. So
he left from me. Another person who came to me has asked the same question as to
the previous man and I have given a reply which I was given to another person.
Both of them went to the chief of the robbers and they have said to him what I said
to them. And who has called me.They have taken me to one hillock where the
looted goods were being distributed among the thieves. The chief has asked me “What
you have with you.?” I have told him that “I have 40 dinars with me.” Then he has
asked where dinars are kept there. I have told him that it is stitched into the cloth in
the armpit. So he was given the order to tear off my dress and they got whatever I
have told them. So the chief told me that “How I got the courage to confirm in this
matter.?” I have told him that “My mother was taken a promise from me that I will
not say false and I have not done breach of trust in the promise which was
made by the mother.” So the chief began weeping and he said that “You are not
guilty of the promise done to your mother. But I am doing breach of trust with my
promise with Allah for some period of years.” He was repentance upon my hand.
So his companions told him that “ You were the leader in our robberies so become
our leader in our repentance.” And all were repented upon my hand. And goods and
things which were looted by them were returned back to the caravan people. The chief
was the first person who has repented upon my hand.

2. The physical features

Shaikh Abu Saeed said that Shaikh Mohiuddin's holy complexion, which was
like wheatish and his height was medium and with a lean body.
And it is narrated by Shaikh Abu Mohammed that “Shaikh al- Islam’s body was
weak, medium height, wide chest, the beard was long and wide and closed,
eyebrows, louder voice, beautiful face, height were high and which was standard.”
Abu Nasar has reported tradition by Saleh Shaikh Abdul Razzaq and Abdul
Wahab that Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani said “There is glad tiding to that person who
has seen me or seen the person who has seen me.”
Oh darwesh, even the Shaikh Abdul Quader's prettiness of perfection which could
not be seen by the eyes of the manifest. But to have kept before you the holy
features which have mentioned above. So that the wealth which is the happiness of
the two worlds and from which you should not be ignored.
 Sharif Abu Abdullah Mohammed Bin Khizer Husni Musli who has reported this
tradition by his father and who used to say that “He was in his service of blessing
for a period of 13 years. And during that period I could not see by sitting of any fly
on his holy body or there was not found any kind of filth or perspiration.”

3. The details of his dress

Abu Mohammed Rajjab from Abu Saleh Nasar and Abul Hasan Ali Qabbaz and
Abu Salah Nasar from his father, Abdul Razzaq and Abul Hasan Sheikh Bazaz who
have narrated tradition that “Sheik Mohiuddin Abdul Quader who used to wear the
dress of the learned persons and he used to wear the academic robe. And he used the
convenience of the camel. The saddle cloth which will be used to hold by nobles
and rulers.” On the pulpit Sheikh, Abdul Quader Jilani gives beautiful sermons in a
loud voice. In his speech, there will be the very fastest and height and in his
conversation, there will be the popularity of the general persons. So whenever he will
make speeches about advice and sermons then the audience will hear with silence
and with much attention.
And whatever he will say for which the people who used to accept by their lives
and hearts and they will immediately follow his instruction. Whether there will be
a hard-hearted person if he will see the Sheikh Abdul Quader then, for this reason, he
will become a soft-hearted person. And there will prevail tenderness upon his heart.
 And on a Friday when he will proceed for the Friday prayer into the Jama
mosque, then at that time the people of the bazaar who used to stood and while
making his intercession they will request with Allah for the fulfillment of their
wishes and desires.
His academic dress and less talking are world-famous.
Sheikh Abul Fazal Ahmed bin Qasim Qureshi Baghdadi Bazaz who said that Sheikh
Mohiuddin who used to wear the costly dress of learned persons and he also used
to wear the dress of the academic persons. One day one servant of the Sheikh Abdul
Quader who came and who said that he needs cloth of one dinar per yard and which
should not be less or more than this. I have asked for whom it is required.?. He said
that it is required for Sheikh Mohiuddin Abdul Quader.There was came thought into
my heart that the Sheikh Abdul Quader did not leave any cloth for wearing for the
caliph.Still, I was in this thought then there was a nail that was hit in my leg. And
due to this pain, I have become restless. The people were gathered around me. So that
they can remove the nail from my leg. And which was not possible for them. I have
said to take me in the service of the Sheikh Abdul Quader. When the people have
taken me into the service of the Shiekh then he told me “Oh Abu Fazal why you
have objected me in your heart in this matter. I by swearing in the name of the
respect of Allah unless and until there will be no order I will not wear. There was
order is that there will be swearing of my reality that you will wear such cloth
which will be available for one dinar per yard. Oh, Abu Fazal this is not dressing but
is the shroud of the corpse and after 1000 deaths this dress is thought as the shroud
of the corpse.”
 When the Sheikh Abdul Quader has brought his hand toward my leg, then
pain and nail which were taken away by God’s swearing I do not know from where
it has come and gone away. When I was standing to leave from that place, then Sheikh
Abdul Quader told me that “The objection which you made for me which came in
the shape of the nail and fixed in your leg.”
It is said by Ibn Tabal that whenever any person who will bring the gift from the
caliph in the kind of silver and gold then he used to give the order to put the same
under his prayer mat but he will not be used to touch them by his hand. When the
servant comes then he will be used to say to him to take silver and gold gifts from
the prayer mat and to give to the bread maker and vegetable sellers. One servant and
whose name was Ghulam Mazhar, who used to stand at the door of the sheikh with
the tray of the bread.
And when there will come a robe of honour from the caliph then he will say to
give the same to Abul Fatah bread maker and to bring flour in the food of the
learned and jurist persons on the credit basis. And which he will be used to accept
from him. And there will be available some of the wheat of the Shaikh Abdul
Quader which will be available to him for the reason of legal source to him.It
means some villagers who used to bring wheat for him. There will be cooked 4
breads on a daily basis for the Shaikh Abdul Quader and which will be presented in
his service on the 3rd part of the day. One of the pieces of the bread which will be
given to the audience at the meeting as a benediction and remaining bread he used to
keep with him. When there will be brought any gift to the meeting, then at that
time it will be distributed among the audience of the meeting at the same
time. Shaikh Abdul Quader used to accept the gift but at the same time, and he will
give something to the person. And then he will accept the present and he used to
eat something from it. It is said by Sharif Abu Abdalla Mohammed bin Khizer that
Shaikh Mohiuddin did not stand to give respect to any richer and wealthy person or he
will go to the door of a richer and wealthier person or he will sit on his mat or he
will eat something from his food. By sitting one time with the kings on their carpet
he thinks that which there will be coming soon punishment from Allah. Whenever
caliph or persons to the status who used to visit him then at that time he will go
inside of his house and come outside from there so that he could not stay with them
there. And with them, he will have a hard conversation. He will instruct them very
much and in an extreme way. The persons in his meeting used to kiss his hands and
they sit with much respect in his meetings. When there will be the occasion to
write to the caliph then his style will be like an order and not in the form of a
request. So he will write like Abdul Quader who said to you like this and this order
which be implemented upon you. And it should be your behaviour and which is an
argument for you. When the caliph will see his order, then he will kiss his order
and he used to say the saying of the Shaikh Abdul Quader is right in this matter.
Ahmed Baghdadi, who was well known as a servant of Shaikh Mohiuddin and
said that “ There was the debit of the shop keepers which has become more than 250
dinars. The loan was not for his personal expenditure, but it was expenses due to
coming and going of the guests. One person came there which I do not recognize him
and who sat near him without asking for
his permission. And he has a discussion with the Shaikh Abdul Quader for a long
time and then he was taken some cash from him and he said this amount is for your
loan amount and then he left from there. Then Shaikh Abdul Quader told me to
give this amount to the shopkeeper and he said that he was Sair Fe Qadar. Then I
asked who is Sair Fe Qader. Then he said that this is an angel which will be sent by
Allah to his friends who will pay their debit.

4. The details of his manners

It is said by Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Muzaffar that I have not seen a good nature
person than Shaikh Mohiuddin, kind, large heartedness, merciful soul, makes good
one’s word, and assert friendship and in spite of having such a great status, more
knowledge, sublimity of position he used to pay kindness to younger and take care
of the respect of the elder persons. He will never stand for the respect of the
persons of the status and noble persons and will not go to the door of the kings and
ministers.
Shaikh Abdul Qasim Bazaz is narrated that who used to say that “When we will
in his meeting place and which is seen that as we are looking a dream. And when
we will leave from his meeting place, then we feel that we have to wake up. His
manners which are liked, pure attributes, true soul, hands of generosity, I have not
seen such a shy person than him. And every night he used to say spread to
tablecloth and he used to eat food with the guests. And he used to sit with poor
persons and tolerate their rudeness and ignore their bad habits. If there
will the absence of the friend then he will be used to ask about his condition due to
his favour of kindness. And he considers his friends and he used to believe his friends
swearing as true. And he used to keep his knowledge hidden. In his meeting place,
everybody thinks that with the Shaikh Abdul Quader there is nobody dear and near
than himself and there are such relations and conversations with the Shaikh Abdul
Quader which is not held by any other person.
And it said by Abu Abdallah Mohammed Shaikh Moinuddin that he is kind-
hearted, good manners, and his prayers are accepted by Allah, he hates the very
much foul language, foolish talking, and he was inclined toward matters of reality.
And for the sake of his soul, he does not angry and does atrocities on the other
persons. He does not keep friendship, but for the sake of Allah, he will have a
friendship.”
Whatever he will do for the sake of the friend only. He will not return any
caller from his door. And he will not keep away anybody from his generosity. Hazrat
Peer Shaikh Dawood who said that “As for the door of the wealth of our Peer of
Jehangir (world conqueror) where all persons who used to come there. All people
of wealth and persons of affluence who were servants of this court. So, for this
reason, one thief who thought that such a person of rank and dignity and who will
be a great wealthier person. And he has determined to enter into his house and will
get the desire of his heart. But he was entered into the house, then he has become
blind person.
When there was revealed the condition of the black and with the dark heart
thief and he thought it is a matter against humility that to come into our house for
success and by going
without success. Still, he was thinking in this matter, then at that time Prophet
Khizer came there and he told him “Oh great ruler of the country at this time one
Abdal (An order of saints) who was died due to natural death of Allah. You give
the order for any person so that he can be appointed.” He said there is a dis-
hearted person who is lying in our house so to go and bring him here so that he can
be appointed on that post. Prophet Khizer went there for this duty and brought that
person in his presence and to him in one look of his light made him Abdal. (An
order of saints )
Oh, fakir of the court of Quaderia, you will feel happy that Shaikh Abdul
Quader who did not keep away from his wealth of grace to that person who has
entered his house with bad intention, then how you will be kept away from his
wealth of grace as you come into his court with the truth and cleanliness.
Abu Abdulla Mohammed Bin Khizer Hussaini said that to him his father
mentioned him like that “Once Shaikh Mohiuddin who has seen one fakir in the dis-
hearted condition and asked him what is your condition.?”. He told him that “He
was at the bank of the river and I have requested the sailor to take him to the other
side of the river but he did not agree on this matter. So for this reason he has
become dis-hearted in this matter.” Still, the conversation was in progress than at that
time one person came there and he was given one bag of 1000 dinars as present to
the Shaikh Abdul Quader and the Sheikh told him to take this bag and give to
sailor and said to him that “From next time did not reject the fakir persons.” He was
also given his holy dress and he was purchased back from him for 20 dinars.
 Also, the above-said person told him that his father told him that “Once he was in
Jama (central) mosque along with Shaikh Mohiuddin Abdul Quader. There came
one merchant, and he was requested in the service of Shaikh Abdul Quader and he
told him that other than the Zakat (religious tax as a basic in function of Islam)
money he has some other money with him and I want to distribute among poor and
needy persons but I do not find any deserved persons. Tell me in this matter so that
I can give money to the persons. Shaikh Abdul Quader told him “To give money to
persons who are deserving and undeserve both of them so that Allah can give you
too much money whether you deserve or not.”
Shaikh Abu Mohammed Talha Bin Muzafar who has narrated that Shaikh Abdul
Quader has said that “When he was arrived in Baghdad and for beginning 20 days he
could not get anything for eating for me. So he went to the deserted palace of
Chosroes to find permissible things there. Then what he has seen there that 70 holy
persons of Allah are searching the same thing there and for which he was endeavoring
there. I thought that it is not proper to obstructing them there. So he was returned
back toward Baghdad. Then I saw one person from the city and who has given me
some money and he said that this money was sent to him from his mother. And from
that money, I have taken some money for myself and the remaining amount which
I was distributed among those 70 holy persons of Allah. They have asked me “From
where it has come from there.?” I have said that “This money was sent to me by my
mother. But I thought it is not good to use by myself and not to give the money to
all of you.” After that, I came to Baghdad and from that sharing amount
purchased food and which I eat with me some quantity and given some quantity to the
darwesh persons. And till the night time, I have spent all that money.
Shaikh Abul Muzaffar said that “Once Shaikh Abdul Quader was in his house and
he was writing something there and at that time there was fallen some soil from the
roof and he has removed the soil. And there was happened this event three times
like this. At the fourth time he was seen at the roof side and he was found one
mouse there who was playing. He said there should be removed, your head from
your body and immediately his head was removed from his body. After that, there
came tearing in the eyes of the Shaikh Abdul Quader.
Shaikh Abul Qasim, who was has said that “Once Shaikh Abdul Quader who
doing ablution in the school building and one time one bird from flying in the air
and there was dropping of the bird upon him. And when he had looked at the bird
with his look of anger so, for this reason, the bird was fallen down on the earth and
she died immediately. When Shaikh has performed ablution then he was given me his
dress and asked me to sell away this dress and distribute its amount as charity among
poor and needy persons. And he said that “If that has gone, then it is for its
expiation in this matter.”

Shaikh Abul Qasim, who was footman and who has said that “Shaikh Abdul
Quader rides on the horse and was reached to the Jama Mansour mosque. And from
there when he was reached in the school building, then from his forehead one
scorpion was falling on the ground and began moving from there.” Then he said to
him, “To die soon”. So he died at the same time
immediately. He said after that “He was bitten me 60 times while in coming here from
the Jama mosque of Mansour. (Persian: Allah, Allah Cha Burdbari Ast). How there is
such humility in this matter.”
It is narrated by Abul Hasan that “One day there one bad voice eagle who was
wandering over meeting place. The meeting place was facing a problem due to her
bold voice. Then he was given orders to the cold wind to separate her head from
the body. And immediately her head was separated from the body and fallen near
him. While paying attention to her condition he got down from the pulpit and he
has held her in his hands and he has said is alive by the order of Allah. Then at that
time eagle was becoming alive and flown from there.”
Qazi Nasar Saleh, who narrated that his father, Abdul Razzaq said to me that
“His father it means Shaikh Mohiuddin upon becoming famous he went to the Hajj
pilgrimage for one time only. During the journey, while going and coming back
from there it was bridle of the camel which was in his hands. When he gets down
in the village from camel, then he said but here in the book, there is a problem of no
page number 34 after page 33.So, for this reason, there will be a continued
translation from page number 35 which is as follows.
Afterward, Shaikh Abul Barkat who recited one Persian couplet and its meaning
and interpretation are as follows.
Afterward, he said that he wants such knowledge of God with its help he can
distinguish the worship of Allah and other worship. After this Shaikh Khalil came
there and has asked about the status of the Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot).
 Then Shaikh Abdul Quader said that” By God’s swearing I have seen whatever
demand by any persons who get by him, but Shaikh Khalil could not get because
there is still time not come to it for him.”
Shaikh Shabuddin Suherwardi has said that “During his youth period he was
engaged in the reading the books of scholastic philosophy and some of these books I
have memorized. As such that I have become an expert. And my uncle Sheikh
Najibuddin who used to prohibit me in this matter. But I did not use to hear from
him anything in this matter. And one day who was going to see the Shaikh Abdul
Quader. And he was also taken with me there. When I went near him then he said
“Oh Omar, Allah said “Ya ahi lazina amanu eza najitam faqadamu baina yadiu
najawakam sadqa.”At this time we are in the presence of such a holy person and
whose heart will give information about Allah.” So keep you alert so that you will
not get benediction from his visit.” When I visited Shaikh Abdul Quader and able
to look his face and upon sitting for some time then I have told him that this is my
nephew and his name is Omar and I have prohibited him number of times not to
read books of scholastic philosophy by him but he is ignoring my advice in this
matter.Then Shaikh Abdul Quader has asked “Oh Omar which books of this
knowledge you are studying by you”.I have told I read such and such books by me.
Then sheikh was touched my chest than for this reason there has not remained any
knowledge which I was memorized. But at that time Allah has opened the door of
inspired knowledge upon my heart. And from there I was standing by, saying the
knowledge of wisdom. He said to me “Oh Omar, you are among the famous
personalities of Iraq.”
 Najamuddin who was the friend of Shaikh Suhabuddin who said that “ One
day he was sitting in loneliness with Sheikh Shahabuddin and after 40 days what I
have seen that Shaikh Shahabuddin, who was sitting on the top of the mountain and he
was pouring a pot of the jewels on the people. And people are collecting them.
When he will pour down the pot, then again the pot will full with jewels automatic
like a stream of the jewels.
At the evening time, I left from loneliness and went to see the above Shaikh then
before saying something he said to me that “ Najamuddin whatever you have seen
which is exactly right. Such are the many things which I have with me. And which
have given to me by Shaikh of time Muhiuddin Abdul Quader in turn for
knowledge of scholastic philosophy.”

5. The details of his titles

This said by Shaikh Omar Kimyani and Sheikh Umar Bazaz and these two holy
persons have asked with Shaikh Muhyiddin Abdul Quader that “ Hazrat what is the
reason of his getting his title Mohiuddin.” He said “At that time he was coming
back to Baghdad after his travel and tourism and by chance before his eyes and his
condition of like an ill person in the bad and worst condition, lien in the yellow
colour face which came before me. And like a dry plant, he was fallen on my foot.
And he said “Oh chief sits with me and favour with me and refresh me with that
spring of the water of life. I was asked him to sit and blown upon him and at that
time like a fresh branch there was blown flower.
And he has asked whether you have recognized him. Then I said to him that “No.”
then he said that he is the religion of your holy ancestor and was reached in such
condition. Allah was given life to me again for your sake. And who was able you to
reach the status of the holy person of Allah and You are Muhiuddin it means a life-
giver to the religion.”
I left him there and went to the Jama mosque in Baghdad without wearing the
footwear there. At that time one person who brought footwear for me and he was
asked to me are you, Mohiuddin?. Oh, my chief you are life-giver of the religion.
After this, I have prayed the supererogatory prayer with meekness and when I had
finished my prayer, then a large number of the people who were gathered around
me at that time. And they began calling me with this title Muhiuddin. But before
this nobody did call me with the title.
Some learned persons who have narrated this saying by Shaikh Abdul Quader
by reference and authority of Abu Sulaiman Dawud ibn Yousuf that “One day people
who came to Shaikh Aquil and they said that one non-Arabic young gentleman and
whose name is Abdul Quader and who became very famous in Baghdad. And in the
sky is more well known with title Rafi Quader and among the angels, he is well
known with title Bag Ashab and Shaikh Mohiuddin Abdul Quader who was said this
couplet in this meaning which is as follows.”
“ I am a songbird of happiness and fill their stems with happiness and in the
above world he is well known as Baz-Ashab (falcon ).”
 6. His travels and endeavours

It was said by Shaikh Abul Hasan that Sheikh Abdul Quader told him that “He was
traveling in the jungles of Iraq for a period of 25 years lonely. And he prayed Fajr
prayer with the ablution of Eisha night prayer. He was standing on his one foot
after Eisha prayer for a period of 15 years till the time of Fajr morning prayer by
reading the holy Quran. And one night the soul desired for sleeping. I have ignored
his wish. And without caring for it, I was stand at one place on one foot and began
reading the holy Quran. The sleep came there before me in a different shapes in
this matter.”
In this way, the world and all that is in it making an uproar or loud,confused
noise. Which used to appear before me in different shapes and they began to
deceive me there. I used to scold and anger with them then so for this reason they
used to run away from there. And due to fear and horror, they used to finish into
pieces. It has happened many times that I have observed fasting for 3 days to 40
days. And did not find anything to eat. And I have stayed in Ajmi tower. And due
to my most higher height, that tower is called Ajmi tower. One time in that tower I
have promised to Allah that I will never eat food and drink water unless and until it
will not be provided to me. And a period of 40 days was passed away. After that one
person came and he brought food and he went away from there. The soul due to
hunger wants to fall on the food. Then I said by the swearing of Allah, I did not
break my promise which was made by me with
Allah. I have heard from my innermost, hunger, hunger. But I did not pay any attention
and care in this matter. Shaikh Abu Saeed, who was passed away from there. Who
came near me and he said “Oh Abdalla oh Abdul Quader what is the matter.?”
Then I told him that “This is an uneasiness of the soul.” But my soul in comfort
with Allah.”Then Shaikh Abu Saeed told me that to accompany him to the gate of
Azaj then he left me there in my condition. There was a determination in my heart
that I should not go out of that place. But as per the order of Abu Saeed, I have
seen that Prophet Khizer who suddenly came over there. And who told me to go to
Abu Saeed. And I have done as per his instruction in this matter.When I had
reached his house, then I have seen that Abu Saeed is waiting for me at the silt of
his house. When he has seen me then he told that “Oh Abdul Quader you did not
be content for my saying until and unless Prophet Khizer did not ask you to come
to my house.”Then he was taken me and I ate food from his hand as such that I was
satisfied in this matter and ate full of my stomach.Then he was given me the saintly
dress to wear with me there.
It was said by Omar Serafini that Shaikh Abdul Quader told him that “He used
to live day and night in a deserted place and did not come to Baghdad city. During
this time the Satan used to come to see in the line on the horses and on the foot
soldiers with swords in different shapes and they used to throw fire upon me there.
I was satisfied with my heart. And I will not find any kind of change in my
condition. There will become one call from my innermost that all Satans will be
running away from your there due to my voice of horror. And one Satan came to
me and he said that to go from here to another place and he will do this
and that. He began me afraid so I have slapped him in this matter. Then he began
running. So I began saying “La Hol Wala Quwata” and I have seen him while going
away from there.
Once one person of bad shape and who has bad smell came into my service and he
said he is Satan and he came there for his service because you have given trouble to me
and my disciples. I said to him to go from there, but he did not move from there by
that time one invisible hand, which was appeared and which hit on his head then he
was disappeared from there.
Then he was appeared by holding the spear of the fire in his hand and come
before me to fight with me. Then there came one person on a horse by wearing the
coverlet on his shoulder. And who has given me a sword so for this reason Satan
runs away from there. The third time I have seen him and who is running here and
there upon seeing me. And who was putting dust on his head. And he was saying “Oh
Abdul Quader you have disappointed me.” I told him “Oh wicked and worst I am
afraid of your frauds.” Then he said that “He is more afraid in this matter than
afraid comparing of Abdul Quader.”
Shaikh Abu Masood who said that “Shaikh Abdul Quader told me that in the
beginning period I did not engage the soul in endeavours. But for a period one
year, I have forced him to eat permissible things in the deserted place in Medan (an
ancient Persian capital ). The things which are lying in the jungle place on which I was
contented. And for a period of one year, I did not eat, drink anything or did not
sleep. One night due to very much cold, I went to the palace of Chosroes and at the
same time I was sleeping there.There was a discharge of the sperm. And I have taken a
bath in Shatt al-Arab River in Iraq (Shatt al-Arab is a river
of some 200 km in length, formed by the confluence of the Euphrates and the
Tigris in the town of al-Qurnah in the Basra Governorate of Southern Iraq.) Then
there was again discharged of sperm and there was the discharge of sperm during the
night for forty times. And for every time I have taken a bath for this reason. Then I
went on the roof of the palace of Chosroes there. So that there should not be sleep.I
was staying in a deserted place of Kiraq. And in that place, I used to eat one kind
of date known as Barvi. And did not eat any other thing.One person who used to bring
me one gown of wool every year which I used to wear. I was well known as Abla
and Jinn. And anything except a mystic way which did not come on my way. The
soul did not overpower upon me for his desires and wishes. The decoration of the
world which did not make me proud. But since my early period of life also I used
to walk on the thorns for many times. And for which there were no thinking and
anxiety in this matter.

7. The details of Sama (ecstasy ) meetings

It is said by Omar Bazaz and one group of the learned persons that Sheikh Baqa and
Sheikh Ali bin Haiti, Sheikh Abu Saeed Qaelavi they went to visit Shaikh Abdul
Quader then sheikh who has paid attention to Sheikh Baqa and told him “Oh Baqa
say something.” He said that “How he can say something with the tongue in his
presence.” And after that, he told to Shaikh Ali to say something. Then he told the
same text which is added as above.Then he said the same thing again to Shaikh Abu
Saeed.
He said something and soon he was stopped talking. And then after that, the of sea
of raging which came on the rise and he was explaining about realities like pearls
at one time and enlighten all the audience. After that for the happiness of the
audience, Aishrat Manwal chorister who asked for permission for singing.Then
Shaikh Abdul Quader who has given him permission and upon this chorister began
singing one couplet. Upon hearing this couplet the Shaikh Abdul Quader who stood
and he began moving here and there. As such, that he began flying in the air and he
was kept away from the eyes of the audience of the meeting of Sama. When the
people went into the school building what they have seen there that Sheikh Abdul
Quader who sitting there.
In the book Hujjat Asrar with certification, it is mentioned that one day one
Qari (reciter of the Holy Quran) who has recited the following verse in the presence of
Shaikh Abdul Quader ‫لمن اليوم الملك‬. So upon hearing this verse shaikh of time and then
audience of the meeting who also stood for respect and glorification. Shaikh Abdul
Quader asked them to sit and not to stand there. The shaikh began saying who said
that “This country belongs to him. And who is that person.? And who is saying that
this country belongs to him.”
From holy persons Shaikh Ahmed, who was present there in
the meeting. And who said that “ I have said that this country belongs to him.
Because He belongs to me. And like him, there is no incomparable.” Upon this the
Shaikh Abdul Quader made slogan and he said to him that “Oh unwise how you
will belong to him. Unless he will not become of yours.” When darwesh was heard this
then his colour and as well as changed his condition.
And he has started a slogan of tormenting and black wool dress which he was wearing
he has thrown away and in wandering condition and without covering head and
foot he went towards the jungle side.

8. The details of the devotion

Shaikh Abdul Raheem, Shaikh Taqiuddin, Abu Mohammed Abdul Ghani, Ibn Abdul
Wahid Maqdi and Mohammed Abdalla bin Qawama, Sheikh Saleh Abdul Malik
Ibn Abi Ali Iraqi who have narrated that we have heard by our leader Shaikh
Mohiuddin Abdul Quader and who used to say that “In Baghdad when there will be
asked about that person’s connection who has been acquainted with me and for
whom it will be said that “From among my such obedient person who does not
come out of the egg of human nature and not attached with the real life. And who is
better than 2000 persons. If that person knows something in this matter, then that
person is like a rare pearl and like a precious jewel.”
Shaikh Abu Barkat Mouseli said that he has heard from his uncle Shaikh bin
Musafir that “If any disciple who belongs to the Mashaiq (saints) desires saintly
dress then he can wear them. But I cannot wear a saintly dress for the disciples of
Shaikh Abdul Quader. Because he is the mercy of unlimited and favour which is very
extreme, and they are drowning in it. And they are not in need of anything. And so
they do not inclination for anything because nobody goes to the reservoir by
leaving the sea.”
 This is said by Shaikh Abdul Razzaq and Abul Hasan that “ Shaikh Abdul
Quader used to say that in his hand, one paper was given and which is as lengthy that
as per the eyesight goes. In which there were written the names of his friends,
disciples, who will be found in the world till the day of the judgment and who will
have the right connection of the devotion with me and their names were written on
it and there was an order of Allah that due to your sake all were forgiven by me. I
have asked by angel Malik, who was superintendent of the hell whether you have any
names of my friends and disciples with you.” Then he said that “He does not have
any name.”
Oh, darwesh the fakir of Quaderia if you were in happiness and a good time of
delight, then you can listen to what there will be happening?. There is said by the
above persons that Shaikh Abdul Quader who used to say that “There will be
swearing for me for Allah’s respect and majesty that until me and you will not be
sent toward heaven then I will not lift my foot before it.”
Shaikh Abdul Razzaq and Abdul Wahab who has narrated that “Shaikh has
said that I am sponsoring and helper for my disciple and his disciple and also his
disciple (as per thinking he was saying up to seven times) and then he is guarantor
of his works and important affairs. “If my disciple’s hiding will be open and if he
will be there in the East, and if I am in the West then I will cover it.”
It is said by Shaikh Umran that one day we have asked with Shaikh Abdul
Quader that “If any person who himself is your disciple and who did not pledge on
your hand and did not wear the saintly dress from you whether he will be counted
among your disciples or not.”He said “Yes”, no doubt if any person who
connects himself with me then Allah will accept him and forgive his sins. Whether
he will be in any condition and then he will become his friend.”
Shaikh Najibuddin Suherwardi and who said that “His father, who was informed
about Shaikh Hammad that the people who used to hear the sound from his house
like of the honey bees and somebody who has told this to Shaikh Abdul Quader and but
by this time he was not yet become famous and well known. He went into the
company of the Shaikh Hammad and has asked to him in the form of Persian couplet
as follows.

Suhbat dabbas ra ain saz chist

Her zaam ein nagma wa awaz chist

Then Shaikh Hammad told him that “He has 12,000 disciples with him. And every
night I will remember all of them and ask Allah for the fulfillment of their desires
and wishes and one who will involve them in sins, then I will request Allah to give
him repentance during this month or take him from the world. So that he could not
be involved in the sins for a period of a long time. So Abdul Quader said that “If
Allah will give him status in his court then he will request Allah for this matter
that my disciple will not die till the day of the judgment
without repentance and I will be guaranteed in this matter.” Shaikh
Hammad had said to him that “Allah has shown him this matter.”
It is said that Shaikh Abu Mohammed Abdul Jabbar bin Shaikh of Islam
Mohiuddin Abdul Quader narrated Shaikh told that “When his mother goes in the
dark places then there will find start burning a lamp there. One day when my father
came there,
then at that time the lamp was stopped burning. Then my father said to my mother
that “The light which you will see is provided by Satan. And who is doing your
service. I have kept him away from you. And instead of it, I have nominated light
of Allah for you in this matter. One who has a connection with me or favour. So I
will also do the same with him. “A Narrator who has told that after that when my
mother when she will enter into the dark house, then she will find light like the
moon and which will give light on all sides and in all directions.
Shaikh Abul Qaaim Umar Bazaz said that Shaikh Abdul Quader who said that
“When Hussain Mansour was made mistake, then at that time there was no person
available to help him in this matter. If I will be available in his time, then I would
have helped him at that time. I will help my disciples and friends who are
wandering here and there.”

This is said by Shaikh Abdul Razzaq that once my father, Shaikh Mohiuddin
Abdul Quader has given order in one night to Um Yahiah to cook rice.She was
standing as per his order and cooked rice and she has put on the tablecloth.When
half-night passed away approximately then the wall of the house broken and one
man came into the house and he was eating the rice and went away from the house.
My father has given me the order to search that person and meet him and request
and ask him to pray for you. I searched for him and requested to pray for me. Then
he said “Subhan Allah (God be praised) and he said that I have reached such a
higher position due to pray and saintly dress of your father. So ask him to pray with
him and not with me in this matter.”
 When there was morning, then I have told night event to Shaikh Ali bin Haiti
then he told that “ He could not find and see any other kind of saintly dress and
turban-like your father which could give such benediction and exaltation of the
saintly dress and turban in this matter. As far as his knowledge Shaikh Abdul
Quader was given the great success to 70 persons. This is an event of that evening
when the Shaikh Abdul Quader was given to wear my saintly dress and the
benediction of his hands and I have gotten many of favours in this matter. That day
when I will visit your father and I think that day is the most benediction day in my
favour.”
It is reported by Shaikh Omar Kirmani that “In the meeting of the Shaikh
Mohiuddin Abdul Quader Jilani, Jews, Christians, who used to come there to accept
the faith of Islamic religion and robbers who used to come there for repentance.
And Shiite (a member of the branch of Islamic religion that regards Hazrat Ali Bin
Abi Taleb as the legitimate successor to the Prophet Mohammed and rejects the first
three caliphs) persons who used to find there in the meeting always and they did not
want to leave their false belief, but Shaikh Abdul Quader who will bring back them
to the right path of Islam.One time one group of the persons who accepted faith of
Islamic religion. And they said that they belong to Moroccan country and we had the
desire to accept Islam, then at that time we have heard one invisible call in which it
was told “ Oh group of the people of welfare you go to Baghdad and accept the
faith of Islam before Abdul Quader because due to his benediction you will feel
Islam as sweet and which will not be sweet by any other person.”
 With the above narrator who is reporting that “Once one monk came into the
meeting and who was accepted Islamic religion. And he said that “He belongs to
the country of Yemen. When there was created thinking of acceptance of the
Islamic religion in my mind, then I will accept at the hand of that person who will
be a good person in the whole Yemen country. I was in such thinking and then
there was overpower of the sleep upon me. Then what I have seen in the dream in
which Prophet Jesus is telling me that “ Go to Baghdad and accept the Islamic faith
in the presence of Shaikh Abdul Quader and at present, he is better on the whole
earth.”
It was said by Shaikh Abdallah Hayali that Shaikh Abdul Quader who want to
spend his time in the jungle and deserted places. But Allah who has attached the
benefit of mankind with me.And for this reason, more than 500 Jews and Christian
persons who have accepted Islam on my hand before me. And more than 100,000
persons of crafty and robbers who have repented at my hand.
Yahia Bin Najah Adeeb and who said that “He made the intention to see how
many people who cut their hairs in the meeting place of Shaikh Muhiduddin Abdul
Quader. So he went to the meeting place along with the thread with him. When the
Shaikh Abdul Quader will cut hairs of one person then he began knotting of the thread
secretly which he has kept in the cloth there in the meeting place.In this way that
nobody could see this matter. And he was sitting away from the Shaikh and what he
was heard that “I am opening you are fastening.”
Shaikh Abul Hasan Ali bin Mohammed bin Ahmed Baghdadi, who reported that I
have seen dream during the year 553 Hegira
that the water of the canal of Eisa which was turned into blood and substance and it
is becoming full of the fishes and insects and it is increasing and increasing. I came
from there by running to my house and there one man who was given me one fan
from the window. And he told me to hold it strongly. I told him that” I could not
lift it.”Then that person told me that “You will be lifted by your faith (Eman).” I
have held the fan by its corner side. And I find myself near that person.Then there
was no longer fear with me. I told by God swearing that “You have done a great
favour for me. You please tell me who are you.?” Then he said that “I am your
prophet.” I due to his horror began shivering. And I have said “Oh prophet, prayer for
my ending upon faith of your book and on your tradition.” Then he said, “Yes, your
Sheikh, is Shaikh Abdul Quader.” Three times I have requested the same thing. And
three times he was given me his same reply. When I was waking up, then I have
told about my dream to my father. After performing the Fajr prayer who was
taking to me in the service of Shaikh Abdul Quader and at that time sheikh was
busy in his sermon. And it was difficult to go near him and we sit at a long distance
in the meeting place. So, for this reason, we have to sit away from him. Shaikh
Abdul Quader has stopped the sermon immediately and he was given the order to
bring both those two persons before him. The people have taken us near the pulpit.
And my father who was ahead of me and I was behind him. Shaikh Abdul Quader
told me that “You have not come here without leader’s instruction and he has worn
the saintly dress to my father and he was given turban upon my head.” We have to
get down from the pulpit and sit among the people. Then my father was seen that
the dress is worn by upside down and my
father who wants to wear in the upright position. Shaikh Abdul Quader told my
father that be patient then he got down from the pulpit then again my father who
wants to bring the upright position of the dress but what he has seen that dress was
already in the upright position than before. And he has become un- conscious. So,
for this reason, people began feeling uneasiness in this matter. Shaikh Abdul Quader
has asked the persons to bring near him.When he went from camp to the dome of
holy persons then the persons have presented us in his presence. The dome of a holy
person is known as the place for this reason that where many holy persons and
invisible persons (Mardan Ghaib) who used to come there to meet the Shaikh Abdul
Quader. The Shaikh Abdul Quader told my father that “ Whose guide is his prophet
and his shaikh, is Shaikh Abdul Quader then why there will be no miracles with him.”
Then he was asked to bring paper and ink then he was given certificates of saintly
dress to us.
Yes, oh darwesh, there is one joke remember it well. If any person who will refuse
the certificate of saintly dresses as it is the habit of the persons who watch manifest
things. Then tell him “ This is affairs of Ghouth (one who redress another’s
grievance ) of mankind and spirits, the world and hereafter and which is correct as
per certification and your knowledge of Islamic law and the mystic way is not
more than Shaikh Abdul Quader who was the deputy of the prophet. So, for this
reason, I am disgusted with you for your refusal of this work.”
 9. The intercession of the Shaik Abdul Quader which is the cause of the
salvation of the two worlds

Eisa Bin Abdalla bin Qimar Rumi, who said that he was heard by Shaikh Muhyiddin
Abdul Quader and who said that “One who will pass from my school so there will be
reduced punishment on him on the day of the judgment.” One narrator who said that
one time one Hamadni person came to visit Shaikh Abdul Quader and he was told that
his father has died. And who told “In my dream today he came and he said that he
is upset with the punishment in the grave. So go to Abdul Quader Jilani and request
him for prayer for me.” Then Shaikh Abdul Quader asked “Whether he has passed
from his school” and he said “Yes.” Then Shaikh Abdul Quader has become silent. On
the next day, that person came in the presence of the Shaikh Abdul Quader. And
who said that “I have seen my father in the dream. And who is very much happier.
And who was wearing a green dress and he was saying that his punishment was
already removed. And this robe of honour which was given to me due to the reason
of the benediction of the Shaikh Abdul Quader. Oh, son, it is compulsory for you
to live in the service of the Shaikh Abdul Quader.”
The above narrator who said that “One day he was present in the service of Shaikh
Abdul Quader then the people who told him that “From such and such grave there is
heard the groans of the dead person and there before some days ago one corpse
was buried in the Bab Azj and Shaikh Abdul Quader has asked “Whether he was
wearing my saintly dress?.” The person told that” They do not know in this matter.
Then he asked “Whether
he has come into his meeting place.” And persons told that “They did not know in this
matter. “Then Shaikh Abdul Quader has asked “Whether he has come into his
meeting place.” The persons told that “They do not know in this matter.” Then Shaikh
Abdul Quader has asked “Whether he was eating his food.” The persons told
that”They do not know in this matter.”Then he said that “Such a person who was
involved in such carelessness so he is deserved for such punishment.” Then he was
engaged in meditation for one hour then there was prevailed horror and dignity.
And he said the angels are saying that once he was seen his face and there was good
thinking about me. And Allah for this sake granted his mercy upon him. Then there
was not heard lamenting again from that grave.
Shaikh al-Ghanim who said that “One-time Shaikh Abdul Quader asked his
servant to sit in solitude. On that night he was there and there was a discharge of
sperm for him 70 times. And every time there was with him a new woman. And
among them, he was known some women to him and some of them he did not
know. In the early morning, he went into the presence of Shaikh Abdul Quader and
was complaining about the night event.” But the shaikh before his saying anything,
then he said that “ Do not think an event of the discharge of sperm as bad because
in the tablet it was written your name as the person who is doing of adultery with
70 women and the shapes and names such of the women were written there. I have
requested Allah in the matter so, for this reason, wake up condition was changed
into sleepy condition.”
Hadrat Quaderia Shahud who said one time one person came into the presence of
shaikh and he has said that this shrine
building which is as asylum of the world and the center of one’s hopes and from
here he is requesting male child. After this that person who used to come into the
presence of benediction, the sheikh of time and he used to say some time in
Indicattion and sometimes he used to say in describing about his wish and as the
person of desire will be as a mad person.When his request which was exceeded,
then sheikh told him that not disturb me number of times in this matter and
whatever you want I have seen him in his mother’s womb. When the pregnancy days
were over then baby girl was born instead of a baby boy so he has taken his girl
child and came into the presence of the sheikh of the world and he told him that “
He has requested male child
.”Then he told him that “ Cover the baby girl in the cloth and go back to your
house and see what will be there happen by invisible source.” When he has reached
back to his house then he has found a baby boy instead of a baby girl.
Shaikh Abu Saeed Qurmi who said that one-time Abul Muzaffar merchant who
went to see Hammad Dabbas and said to him that “He has arranged one caravan and
want to go to Syria. Then he told him that “ If you travel to Syria during this year,
then you will be killed in this journey. And all your goods and properties will be
damaged. ”Due to dis-appointment from that place, he went into the presence of
the Shaikh Abdul Quader and he has told him all details in this matter. So Shaikh
Abdul Quader told him to go. He went on the journey with security. And he has
sold away from his goods for better profits. And one day he has reached in Halab
from his return journey. And whatever with him the goods he has kept in one place
and went to attend the natural call. And when he was free from it,
then he forgot about his goods at that place. When he went into his sleeping place
then in his dream he has seen that one Arabian group of the robbers attacked his
caravan of the merchandise and they looted goods and killed the travelers. One person
came and cut his neck with a knife. When he was waking up from the dream, then
he has seen the mark of the blood on his neck and there was a pain in his neck.
Then he was thinking about his goods and group and he has remembered the place
where he has kept his goods. And he was going there and found his goods at that
place. And from Halab, he came to Baghdad and he was thinking to whom he should
see first. Shaikh Hammad was going to Sultan Bazaar and who told him “Oh Abul
Muzafar first to go to see Shaikh Abdul Quder because he is a beloved person of
Allah. And he prayed for 17 times with Allah and Allah was changed this event
from wake up condition into the dream and damaged of the goods which were
changed to forgetfulness.
When he went into the presence of the Shaikh Abdul Quader then he told him
that “Whatever Shaikh Hammad said in the Bazaar of Sultan which is all right. There
is swearing of respect of Allah upon me that for 17 times I have prayed to Allah,
then there was changed of your wake up killing in the dream and damage of the
goods which was changed to forgetfulness.”

10. For making his intercession for desire and wishes

Abul Mali who has reported that once we have entered into a dangerous jungle
place in which there is no faith upon even a brother. When the camels were stood
to march on the journey,
then there were found 4 camels with loads which were missing in that jungle area
and the caravan was left from that place and we were left in the jungle area for
searching the work of the lost camels. In spite of endeavours in this matter, there was
no result. And could not find the missing camels in the jungle. In the morning he
was able to remember saying of the Shaikh Abdul Quader that to call him at the
time of difficulty so that you will be free from the problem of the difficulty. Then
at that time, I requested “Oh Shaikh Abdul Quader my camels are lost.”Then what I
have seen that one person in the eastern direction and who stood on one hillock and
who was waving with his sleeve to come to his side. When I have reached that
place there was found nobody there but they are my 4 camels which were found in
that place.
This is said by Shaikh Bazaz that Shaikh Abdul Quader who said to me that “Those
who will remember me at the time of difficulty then I will recover his difficulty. If
any person who will ask for my intercession for any of his desire in the court of
Allah, then I will fulfill his desire.”
“ One who will pray two Rakats prayers and after verse Fateha in every Rakat to
recite verse Iqlas and 11 times verse Kafirun and send a blessing on the prophet for
11 times and convey Salam. Then remember me and go towards the country of Iraq
by 11 feet, then take his name and remember his desire and there is no doubt the
wish will be fulfilled.”
Usman Serafini and Abdul Haq Harimi have said that one day on Tuesday on the
3rd Safar we went in the school of Sheikh Abdul Quader then at that time after
ablution and he has prayed two Rakat prayers and after Salam, he was made a
horrible
slogan and he was thrown his wooden sandals in the air. And till such, it was lost
from the eyesight.Then after his second slogan, his send wooden sandal was lost from
the eyesight.Then he was sitting there. But nobody did not have the courage to ask
him reason in this matter. After 20 days one caravan of the merchants came from
cities of non-Arabian areas and they said that they want to give some presents to the
shaikh.He said to take from them one maund of silk, silk cloth, and gold and they
accepted it and they have also given his two wooden sandals. We have asked them
how they have got wooden sandals.? They began saying that “We were traveling
on the Tuesday on 3rd Safar, then suddenly there were appeared robbers along with
two Arabic chiefs who attacked upon us and they have killed some persons in our
caravan. And they have looted our goods and belongings and they went to a valley
and they began distribution of our looted goods and properties there. We said come
on now we will remember Shaikh Abdul Quader and we have done like this and
we have remembered Shaikh Abdul Quader and have vow in this matter. Still, this
matter which was in progress among us then we have heard two great loud slogans in
the valley. And its horror which was spread in the valley. Those robbers came to see
us in worry and in running condition. We thought there was the attack of another
group of robbers upon us. But those robbers who came to tell us that they want to
return back our goods from the valley. And see how the trouble which was fallen
on them. We went and seen that their 2 chief persons were dead there by cutting off
their heads. The wooden sandals were lying there. We have taken our goods and
properties and also collected two wooden sandals from there.
They were saying “Enna Haza Alam Alana Azeem.”

11. The life details which were said by the Shaikh Abdul Quader
Jilani

It is said by Shaikh Shahabuddin Suharwardi that he was heard by Shaikh Abdul

Quader who was standing on his pulpit and he was saying in his school that every
holy person is on the footstep of the prophet. And I am on the footstep of my
ancestor the prophet of Allah. The prophet of Allah where he has put his foot other
than the prophet-hood on which I have put my foot there, because except the
prophet there will be no possibility of the claim of the prophet-hood by anybody.
Shaikh Abu Mohammed Ali bin Idris Yaqubi who said that Shaikh Abdul Quader
said that “There will be separate Shaikh for Jinns and human beings. But I am Sheikh
of all of them.”
The above narrator who said that the Shaikh Abdul Quader who during the
illness of his death who used to say to his sons that “Among you and me and
among all creations there is the difference of the sky and earth. So do not think
anybody with me. And do not establish my connection with any person.”
Shaikh Abu Masood Ahmed bin Abu Baker Harami Attar and Shaikh Abu Abdalla
Mohammed bin Gaid and who said that “One day Shaikh Abdul Quader who was
standing on the pulpit still he
was not told anything or Quran reciter did not read by that time. But there was a
prevailed rapture of the audience of the meeting. Shaikh Sadqa who was present at that
time and he thought in his heart what is the reason of this rapture.? Then Shaikh
Abdul Quader paid attention to him and he said that “Oh Sheikh one of my
disciples who came to here from Masjid al-Aqsa (Bayt al- Maqdis) in one step.
And he was repentance in this matter. And the audience is his host. Then Shaikh
Sadqa thought again that the man who came here from Masjid al-Aqsa (Bayt al-
Maqdis) in one step and why he has repented and what there will be the
requirement of the sheikh for him. Then Shaikh Abdul Quader told him that “Oh
Sheikh he has repented that again he will not fly in the air. And he has a need with
me for the teaching of the knowledge of the love of Allah.”
After this Shaikh Abdul Quader said that “ My sword is like ready and my bow
is ready for blowing action. And the arrow is without mistake. And spear is
straight, and my horse with saddles, and I am in a flare-up of fire of my God. I am
the person to seize the conditions. And I am an endless sea. And I am safe and safe,
oh people keepers of fasting and who stand in the night, persons living in the
mountainous areas and your mountains will be scattered .Oh, people of the
churches, your churches will be befallen. You come to the command of Allah. Oh,
builder of the ways. Oh, men, oh brave men. And Abdal (an order of saints)
persons and oh children, come on and get something from this endless sea. It is
said “Oh Abdul Quader is making sermons and we will hear. And to you the swearing
of my reality. You eat and drink and gave a sermon. I have kept you safe from
rejection.”
 The two persons Abu Usman Sarani and Abu Mohammed Abdul Haque Harimi
and who said that we have heard by Shaikh Abdul Quader and who was in the pulpit
and he was saying that “ Oh people who are living from the east to west on the
earth”. Allah says “Ennahi Yahlaq Mala Ya-Lamoon.” And I am among them. And I
am who you do not know.? Come on and make haste and learn something from me.
Oh: people of Iraq the condition are like stitched clothes for me. So I can give it to
anybody as per my wish. Oh slave if you travel for 1000 years and will hear any
phrase from me and oh slave, saintliness and status are at this place.In this meeting
place, there will be given robes of honor. There will be no holy persons and or
prophet is not there who will not visit this place. Those who are living (1) who
come here with their bodies and those who are left in the world who visit here by
their souls. Oh, slave, you will question with Munkir and Nakir angles in the grave
to give you news about me.”
Abu Mohammed Abdul Ghani and Abu Mohammed Abdul Aziz Bin Abu Naser
Baghdadi, who said that Sheikh Abdul Quader said that “ I am behind of the works of
the people of the world and away from your wisdom. Your wisdom will not reach
to me. All Mardan Khuda (invisible persons) when will reach to the fate then they
will be stopped there. But nobody will not stop me. But when I will reach there,
then there will be opened one window for me. And from which I will enter there.
Wa Nazat aqdar Al-Haq Bil-Haq Lil-Haq. It means I am in reality with reality and
fight with the fate of reality.”

(1).In the court of the prophet due to his being favorite position it is said that the
souls of the prophets for the sake of kindness
they used to be present in the meeting place of Shaikh Abdul Quader.

Shaikh Ali bin Haiti who said that “One time who went to visit Shaikh Maruf
Karkhi along with Shaikh Abdul Quader and who told him that “ He is dignified with
him in one more degree.” After some period of time, he visited him again and said
to him that “He is dignified with him in two more degrees.” There was come
calling from the grave in which it was heard “There is Salam be upon you oh the
chief of the time.”
The above narrator who said that “Shaikh Abdul Quader in his early age who used
to say that area of the Iraq country which was given to him. And after some period
of time, he has said that now all over the earth from east to west along with
mountains, jungles, and with ups and downs which were given into my custody.
There were no such holy persons of that time who did not recognize his authority
of Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot) .”
Shaikh Abu Mohammed Abdul Latif bin Abu Taher Baghdadi Sufi who said that
“When Shaikh Abdul Quader will make a great sermon, then he used to say as Sadqat
(true). As in which there will be no chance of the suspension and doubt. When it
will be said to him then he will say and when it will be given to him, then he will
distribute and when it will be said then he will act upon it. To falsify my sayings
which causes you as deadly poison for you in your religion. And the reason for the
loss of this world and hereafter. I am a sword man and battle fighter and you are
for me like the place of the glasses. I am your manifest and innermost.” Shaikh Abu
Saud Ahmed bin Abu Baker Harimi who
was narrated that “Shaikh Abdul Quader said that until the sun will not Salam to
him then he will not rise in the sky. The year when the starts comes and says
Salam to him and will inform all details of the happenings. And in the same way
month, week and day who come at the beginning and say Salam to me and inform him
all details of happenings. There is swearing to me for the respect of Allah that there
will be a presentation of all, good luck and bad luck person before him. And always
my look can watch the tablet.
I am the diver of the river of the knowledge and observation of Allah. I am an
argument of Allah upon you. And successor and deputy of the prophet.
The sons of Shaikh Abdul Wahab and Sheikh Abdul Razzaq and who said that
“When there will coming of good luck person then he will say welcome and “Ba
Hasib Allah”. If he will see coming of bad luck person then he will say no, well
come and “Batrid Allah.” And in his sayings, there will find an indication of good
and bad luck of every person.

12. The details of his saying “This foot of mine is upon the neck of all holy
saints of Allah ”

Shaikh Abu Yaqub who said that he come to Baghdad in the year 621 Hegira.
And went to see Chief Justice Qazi Abi Salah Nasr and what he has seen that he was
sitting in the school of his ancestor in the circle of a large number of the gathering of
the people. And among them, one person asked with sheikh about
the saying of Shaikh Abdul Quader “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.”
Then he told him that “ He was heard by his father, Abdul Razzaq and from his
uncles Abu Abdul Rahman Abdulla, Abu Abdallah Abdul Wahab, and Abu Ishaq
Ibrahim and who said that “We were present in the meeting place in which he has
said this saying and at that time there were present venerable and learned persons
of Iraq country and their number will be more than 50 and who forward their necks
and let down their heads and Sheikh Ali Haiti who stood there and put the foot of
sheikh on his neck. And in and around the area, there were the learned persons and
about them, we have come to know that they have also put down their necks with
much fear of God and humility and no one did not refuse in this matter. But they
have announced in the surrounding areas as well as in all directions that bending of
their necks is for the sake of the saying of Shaikh Abdul Quader's saying “Qadmi
Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.”
Shaikh Abu Saeed Khilawi said when Shaikh Abdul Quader who said “Qadmi
Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.” and at that time Allah in the heart of shaikh
Abdul Quader and the prophet on his hand have been manifested. A group of
closed angels in the presence of all holy persons and among them some who were
belonging to the present time and some who belonged to the past time and in their
presence they wear his robes of honour and in this gathering the holy persons who
were living at that time came there with their bodies and attended the meeting. The
holy persons who were dead at that time came there with their soul and attended
the meeting. The persons of invisible and angels who were standing in the meeting
with much
respect and honour.Many rows who were standing in the air. There were no such
holy persons in the world who did not attend the meeting of the shaikh Abdul
Quader.
Shaikh Khalifa has seen the prophet in his dream and who has asked him why
Shaikh Abdul Quader who said “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.” Then
prophet who replied to him that “Why he did not say this because he is the Qutub
(highest cadre in spiritual pivot ) of the world. I am his supporter and helper.”

13. The Shaikh Abdul Quader who said this phrase by the command
of Allah

Sheikh Abul Barkat who narrated that his father has informed him that and I have
asked with my uncle shaikh Adi bin Musafir whether do you know among the holy
persons who were passed away from the world and did they say the phrase which was
said by Shaik Abdul Quader.? He told me that “No,” and then I have asked “What
is its meaning which he has said.” He told me that” To show his status of
individuality.” Then I said there is an individual of such status who lives in every
period. And for this reply, he said in this matter among such persons, except for
Shaikh Abdul Quader nobody did not appoint.

Then I have asked him “Whether he was appointed for this matter”. Then he
said yes, he was appointed in this matter so he could put his foot on the necks of
the holy persons of Allah and
wealthy persons. Whether you did not know that angels did not prostrate before
Prophet Adam unless and until there was not given the command by Allah.
Shaikh Arif Abu Mohammed Ali Ibn Abi Idris Yaqubi who narrated that when
my chief who said “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah .”Then Shaikh Ali
Haiti who stood and held the holy foot of the Shaikh Abdul Quader and which he
has put on his neck. And he went inside of his edge of the shirt. Upon this, some
persons have asked him why you have done this.? Then he said “Shaikh Abdul Quader
who is appointed to say this phrase. And who has given the order for this matter.
And the holy persons who refuse in this matter, then he has the power to remove
from the position. So I have the desire in this matter to become first among his
faithful persons.”
It is narrated by Abul Farah Hasan that when Shaikh Abdul Quader when he has
appointed to say “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.” Then I have seen that in
the east and west all holy persons of Allah who bend their necks and they have
accepted him. But one person in the Non-Arabic area who did not accept him so,
for this reason, his condition which was lost by him.
It is narrated by the son of Shaikh Abdul Rahman Tafsunchi that in Tafsunchi
my father who bent his neck there so I have asked the reason for this matter. Then he
said in Baghdad Sheikh Abdul Quader who said “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali
Allah.”So for this sake, I have to bend my neck at this place. And after this, there
came news from Baghdad that Shaikh Abdul Quader who said this phrase on that
day.
 Shaikh Abdul Quader bin Abdulla Suherwardi who narrated that in the year 523
Hegira when we were sitting in service of Shaikh Hammad Dabbas. And at that
place of Shaikh Abdul Quader who was also sitting there. When Shaikh Abdul Quader
said this great phrase, then Sheik Hammad who told with the censure that “Oh
Abdul Quader you have said the great phrase and which is strange. But I afraid
whether Allah has made a secret policy with you.” Then Shaikh Abdul Quader who
put his hand on the chest of Shaikh Hammad. And said to him you can see with the
eyes of the heart what is written on my hand. Then he removed his hand from his
chest. After this Shaikh Hammad who said that “He was seen there was written that
he has a firm agreement with Allah for 70 times that there will be not done secret
agreement in this matter.” Then he said that “Now there is no fear and this is the
grace of Allah and which is given by him to anybody whom he likes. And who is
having with him great grace.”

14. About his saying the saintly guides who have given information
in this matter before him

Abu Mohammed Shanbki who said that one day in the meeting of Sheikh Abu Baker
there was discussion about holy persons of Allah and during this time he said that in
the country of Iraq one man from non- Arabic origin and whose name is Shaikh
Abdul Quader and who will be there with position of excellence and higher grade
personality with mankind and with Allah. And he will be residing in Baghdad and
he will say “Qadmi Haza Ala
Raqba Kull Wali Allah.” And all holy persons of Allah who will accept his saying,
and bend their necks and he will be incomparable during his time.”
Sheikh Baqa Abu Muzaffar Ibrahim, who said that Shaikh Abdul Quader who
used to go in the company Taj Arifin Abul Wafa and when he will see there Shaikh
Abdul Quader then who will be used to stand to give respect to him. And sometimes
he used to welcome him. And who used to say to his audience to stand for the holy
person of Allah. And the persons who will not stand, then he used to say him to
stand for the holy person of Allah. When the friends have seen such matter, then one
person among them have asked him what is the reason for giving such respect to
this young man?.” Then he said that “There is the time of the young man and when
his time will come then all general and special people will be in need of him.” And
I know that this young will say in Baghdad “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali
Allah.” And this phrase will be true. All holy persons who put their necks under his
foot. And he will be Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot) of all holy persons.
And if any of you will find his time, then think the company of Shaikh Abdul
Quader as compulsory and necessary.”
Shaikh Abul Hasan Ali Hastihi and Majid Kardi who said that “One-day Taj
Arifin who was giving a sermon on the pulpit, then at that time Shaikh Abdul
Quader who came in his meeting place at that time. And the shaihk who was young
at that time and he came first time in Baghdad . Then Taj Arifin Abu Wafa, who
said to take out this young man from the meeting place, then he was engaged in his
sermon.Shaikh Abdul Quader came there again then he said to take out the young
man. When he came for the
third time, then at that time Taj Arifin who got down from the pulpit and he was
taken him in his armpit and he has kissed him in between of his two eyes and he
said oh people be to stand for the holy person of Allah. When I have given the
order to take out the young man from the meeting place and from this it was not
meant for his disrespect and his dis-honour. There was my intention in this matter
that you should know about him. There is swearing for me for the respect of my
creator that I am watching on his head such rays of the light which is even passed
from the direction of the east and the west.”
After this, he said that “Oh Shaikh Abdul Quader today is our time, then there
will be your time. And now every cock, which will call for one time, then he will
stop and your cock, which will call till up to the time of day of judgment. And after
saying he was given his cup, saintly dress, beads and staff which were given to Shaikh
Abdul Quader. When the meeting was over then he got his down from the pulpit. And
he was holding his hand and said to him that “Oh Shaikh Abdul Quader there will
come such time to you then remember him at that time, then he touched his hand
on his beard and then he said do not forget this old man.” Shaikh Umar Bazaz said
that”The beads which were given by Taj Arifin to Shaikh Abdul Quader when it will
put on the earth then its beads will spread on the earth. When Shaikh Abdul Quader
left this world, then these beads which was found by the loop of the dress and which
was taken by Shaikh Ali Haiti. And from him, Shaikh Mohammed Gaid, who took
it.There was a specialty in the cup that if anybody who wants to take it then it
will be jumping toward that person.
 Shaikh Abu Umran Musa bin Mahin who said that “One-day Shaikh Aquil, who
was asked with an astrologer who is Qutub of this time.? Then he said at that time
our Qutub who is hiding in Makkah except for the holy persons of Allah, nobody
did not recognize him and pointing toward the country of Iraq then he said that he
will appear from this place. That gentleman of non- Arabic origin who will have his
sermons in Baghdad. The general and special persons will watch his miracles there.
He will be Qutub of his time. And he will say “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba kull Wali
Allah.” Its meaning and interpretation is that “And all holy persons of Allah who
will put their necks under his foot.”If I will be there in his period then I will put my
head under his foot. He will be such person and if any person who will certify his
miracles, then he will find many benefits.”
Shaikh Najibuddin Suharwardi who said that “One day he was present in the
meeting of the Sheikh Hammad al-Dabas and where Sheikh Abdul Quader who
was also sitting there. When Shaikh Abdul Quader left from there, then Shaikh
Hammad who said that there is one foot of this gentleman, which he will put on the
neck of all holy people of Allah. He will be appointed for the work of “Qadmi
Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.”And before him, all will bend their necks.
It was narrated Abdulla, who is a great leaned person of Syria. Who said that when
he went to study knowledge in Baghdad and at that time in the school of Nizamia in
Baghdad and there Ibn Saqa who was my friend. We used to engage in worship and
used to visit pious persons. At that time in Baghdad there was one dear person and
it was famous for him that he is Ghouse (one who redresses another’s grievance).
There was a rumour about
him that when he wants, then he will appear and whenever he wants he will
disappear from there. So I and Ibn Saqa were at that time young and went to see that
Ghouse person. During the way, Ibn Saqa told me that he will ask such a question
with Ghouse that he could not able to answer. Then I said that “ I will ask with him
some question so see what he will reply to it.”But Sheikh Abdul Quader who said
“God willing I will never ask any question with him and but only I wait for the
benediction of his visit. When we have arrived at the place of Ghouse then he was
not present at that time. After some time he has arrived there. And he looked with a
look of anger at Ibn Saqa and he told him that “ There is regret for you that you
want to ask with me such a question and as per your vanity which could not be
replied by me to you. Your problem is as such that and I think to reply to you that
in you there is fire of infidelity which is burning within yourself. After this, he has
seen me and said that “Oh Abdalla you ask with me question and see toward me
whether I can give a reply to your question. And its reply is that you will drown in
the world up to two your two ears and which is the cause of disrespect to me from
your side.
Then he was seen Shaikh Abdul Quader and asked him to sit near him and he has
given him much respect. He has cared much and respect about him and he has said
for this, there is the pleasure of Allah and his prophet for him. Like that, I have
seen you in the pulpit in Baghdad by saying “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali
Allah.” I am seeing the learned persons of that time who are bending their necks
until you due to your exaltation and position. Upon saying this he vanished away
from there at the same time and after that did not see him again. Whatever sees
about Shaikh Abdul Quader which was happening later.Ibn Saqa who was engaged in
acquiring knowledge and who was becoming superior among persons of his time.
The caliph has sent to Rome as his ambassador and the king of Rome who has
arranged one dialectician with the learned persons of Rome and in which Ibn Saqa
was defeated all of them there. And for this reason, he has become a favorite of the
King of Rome and with that king there was one lovely and pretty daughter with
him. So he becomes the lover of the Roman princess. So he has requested the king
in this matter, but the king was agreed to marry his beautiful and pretty daughter,
but he has asked him to accept the Christian religion. And he has accepted the offer
and married the Roman princess.
At that time Ibn Saqa who was remembered the saying of the Ghouse and he
understand that all this happened and which was proved true due to his disrespect of the
Ghouse. And when I was reached in Damascus, then at that time, Noor Eldin Shahid
who made me forcefully custodian of endowment department and a world of the
people who returned to me. And the saying which was said about me by the
Ghouse which was proved true. And Sheikh Abdul Quader said in Baghdad in a
loud voice “Qadmi Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah.”

15. The praise of Sheikh Abdul Quader by the holy persons of Allah who
came before and later
 Abu Mohamed Shabanki said that he was heard by Sheikh Abu baker bin Jafar that
in Baghdad there are 8 Autad (category of saints comprising only four at any time
in the world) are there.
1. Sheikh Maruf Karqhi 2.Ahmed Ibn Hanbal. 3.Mansour bin Ammar 4.Bashar Hafi
5.Junaid 6. Sirri Saqti 7.Suhail bin Abdallah Tastari. 8.Abdul Quader Jeli.
I have asked who is Abdul Quader.? He is non-Arabic origin. And a resident of
Baghdad. He also said that he will appear in the 5th century. And he will be friends
of the Afrad (individual) and Autad persons. And he will be among the
companions of the prophet of Allah.
Sheikh Abu Baker Shabanki who said that Sheikh Abu Baker who said about Sheikh
Abdul Quader that who will appear in the middle of the 5th century and about his
piousness he said that about his sayings and actions which will be followed. And due
to his benediction, Allah will give higher status to his slave persons.On the day of
the judgment, Allah will pride him against other nations.
It is narrated by Sheikh Abul Barkat Ismail that he was heard from his father
that he was heard by Sheikh Azaz Batachi and who said to him in Baghdad one
young gentleman Abdul Quader who will come there. And who due to his height of
love he will become a person of higher grade status. The world and all that is in it
and there will be surrendered to him, but his foot will be prevalent and there will
be lights of his hands which will be lightened and illuminated by the realities. And
he will be a great sign of the presence of Allah.
Imam Abu Baker Abdalla bin Nasir Tamimi said that one time he went to visit
Sheikh Matar Bawarsi then he told me welcome.
And he said he has heard the details of the condition of Sheikh Abdul Quader.
When I have told some details of Sheikh Abdul Quader before him then he due to
rapture began to swing from right to left side. And he said Sheikh Abdul Quader is
Eman (faith) of Allah on the earth. And from which secrets of holy persons and the
wind and holy souls which get the fragrance. He is Hadrat of speech and sword of
grace in the world and without his hand there will be not given place and condition
to any holy person. When there will befall look of him, then we will be in the
condition of security.
When he will take a breath, then there will be available the breath of his
support to us. And when we will walk then we will be under the protection of
shadow of his foot.
A group of learned persons who said that one-time Sheikh Abdul Rahman
Tafsonchi was standing on the pulpit in Tafsonchi and he said “Ana Baina Aulia Kalkar
Ke Baina Tayur Atulaham Enqa.” Its translation and interpretation is that “ I am having
long neck person among holy persons of Allah like a heron among the birds.” At that
time Sheikh Abul Hasan Ali bin Ahmed who was present at the place. Immediately
by removing his patched garment from his body, he said that if you give me
permission then I will have to wrestle with you. Sheikh Abdul Rahman has become
silent and he was said to his friends that he did not see any hairs on his body
without rapture. He said to Sheikh Abul Hasan to wear his patched garment then he
said that “The thing which was disconnected us and so with that thing he did not
want to return back to it again.”
Sheikh Abdul Rahman has asked him who is your peer.? And who said as follows
in the Persian couplet.
Gutam Shiekham Sheikh Abdul Quader Ast Kuz jalat
auliya ra rahber ast
And its translation and interpretation is that he is the sheikh of sheikh persons
known as Sheikh Abdul Quader. The grandeur person of the dignity and guide of the
holy persons of Allah.
Then Sheikh Abdul Rahman said I heard the name of your sheikh all over the
earth. But for 40 years I am in the secret approach of Allah, but do not never see
him there. After saying this he was told his persons to go to Sheikh Abdul Quader
and said to him that “Since 40 years I am in secret approach of Allah but do not
never see him there” And at the same Sheikh Abdul Quader told some of his
servants to go towards Abdul Rahman and some persons who are sent by him towards
me and who will met you on the way and met with them and take them toward
sheikh and tell him that “ You were in secret approach of Allah and those who will
live in secret approach of Allah and who will not be seen in the court. Those who
will live in court will not see people who live in the target place and it means that my
treasure is hidden. And I used to go and come over your head. So in this way you
did not see me there.”
If you want to certify in this matter, then I say that the green robe of honour
which was sent to you by my hand and for that success which you have got and
which was sent to you by my hand. The second matter which is certified that the
robe of honours of saintliness which was given to 12,000 holy persons and that green
robe of honour on which verse Iklas was carved and which sent to you by my
hand.When the persons of Sheikh Abdul Quader who met persons of Sheikh Abdul
Rahman on the way. And they have taken them back in the presence of Sheikh
Abdul Rahman and they have given the message of Sheikh Abdul Quader then Sheikh
Abdul Rahman, who said “ Siddiq Sheikh Abdul Quader Sultan Waft Wa Sahib
Tasaraf.” It means Sheikh Abdul Quader, the Sultan of time and person of usage who
said true.”
It is said by Abul Hasan Yousuf that “One time there was prevailed upon him a
great event and its many affairs which were difficult for me. So I went to see my
Sheikh Ali bin Haitham so that to tell him my problems and get its solution in this
matter.Before saying anything in this matter, then he said to me that “Your problems
which will not be solved by conversation and which will be solved by action of the
nature and this matter which is available during this time under the control of
Sheikh Abdul Quader. So you go into his presence. So from there, I went to Baghdad
in the service of Sheikh Abdul Quader at that time who was sitting in the arch of
the school building. When I went before him, then he has given me a cloured thread
in which there were some knots and which was under his prayer mat and given to me.
There was one end of the thread in the hand of the Sheikh Abdul Quader and other
end, which was given by him into my hand. By the opening of each knot of the
thread then there were began solving one by one of my difficulties of my event.
And I was able to know all the hidden secrets of the event. Then Sheikh Abdul Quader
told me that “ To hold it with force and told your nation to hold them in a good
way.” Then I went back in service of sheikh Ali bin Haithi then he told me that
“Whether I did not tell you before that Sheikh Abdul Quader is the king of the
leaders (Imams) of the mystic persons. And he is the owner of the reins of
power.Oh, Abul Hasan the flower of luck of your
condition which is opened on the tree of luck and the fruits of lights which are the
plant of your condition. The observation which you have seen which are due to
grace to look of Sheikh Abdul Quader and which he has paid attention to your
condition by him. Otherwise, this condition's the very minute part which you could
not get in the endavours of a period of 100 years. If Sheikh Abdul Quader will not
say “ To hold it with force and told your nation to hold them in a good way.” So
then there is no doubt your wisdom will be getting lost and on the day of judgment,
your fate will be the same as the head of the dead persons of the love. But now it is
hoped that you will be the leader of the nation.”
The servant of Sheikh Abul Barkat Sheikh Abul Ashair who said that he was
heard by Sheikh Abul Barkat who used to say that “Without the permission of
Sheikh Abdul Quader no holy person could not able to show his usage in the
manifest as well as in the innermost. And he is such a person who has given usage
even after his death which he has before his death.”
Sheikh Abu Taleb Abdul Rahman Hashmi, who said that one day the people who
have asked Sheikh Jamal Arifian Abu Mohammed Bin Basri when he has asked
whether Khaja Khizer is living or not ?. He said that “One time he has met Khaja
Khizer. And I have asked him to explain any strange matter connected with the holy
persons of reality. Khaja Khizer said “Once he was passing by the bank of Bahar Muhit
(The northern part of the Red Sea is usually called Bahr al-Qulzum, so named after the
port ... consider the Indian Ocean an offshoot of the Surrounding Ocean (al-Bahr al-
Muhit). And where there was nobody there at that time. By chance, I have seen there
one person who was sleeping
in the rag dress. There was thought in my heart that perhaps he may be a holy
person of Allah. I had shaken him with the finger of my foot. He has lifted his head
and he has asked what did he want.? I have asked him to stand and pay respect. He
has said to go away from on your way. I have told him that if you will not stand,
then I will tell mankind that he is a holy person of Allah. Then he also said that if
you will not go from here then he will tell that he is Prophet Khizer. I told him how
do you know about me. He said “Yes, you are Abul Abbas Khizer right. He said about
me who I am.? I began engaging in the hymn of Allah immediately and I said “Oh,
Allah, I am the herald of holy persons of Allah. And there came an invisible voice in
which it was told that “Oh Abu Abbas you are the herald of the holy persons who
keep me as their friend. But he is such a person to whom I keep him among the
persons who are my friends.” Then that person who has paid attention to him and
he said ”Oh Abul Abbas have you heard about me. And then he said “Yes” and
asked me to pray for him”.He said “Oh Abul Abbas I need to pray from your side.”
I said “No”, your prayer is necessary.” Then he said, “ May Allah make better your
fate than this.”I said to increase more. Immediately, he has vanished away from
there. As a matter of fact, there is no power of any holy person with him to have
vanished away from my look.
And from there I went to the highest hillock and where I have seen one light
there. And from which my eyes were becoming be dazzled. I have made an intention
to see from where this light is coming.? I have seen one woman who is sleeping by
covering rag dress upon her there. The ragged dress was the same which I was seen
with that person. I want to shake the foot of that woman
and there was heard an invisible call in which it was told “Oh Abul Abbas be careful.
She belongs to such personalities to whom I kept as my friend.”So, I have stayed
there for one hour then that woman who was waking up. And she said
“Alhamdulillaahillazi ahyaanaa ba'da maa amaata-naa wa ilaihinnushuur". And its
translation and interpretation is as follows.
“ All praise to Allah (SWT), Who revived us to live after giving us death, and to
him, we shall have to return. And thanks to the person who has given his love and
who has made his creation unrelated to me. “
After that, she has seen toward me and she said: “ Abul Abbas it was better if you
were respectful of the time of stopping there.” I told her that there is swearing by
Allah whether you are the wife of that person.” She said “Yes”. In this jungle, there
is a death of Abdal (an order of saints) woman who has died and for her funeral
bath and burial, Allah has brought me here in this place. When I have finished my
work then they have taken that woman toward the sky. I said to her to pray for me.
She said, “Oh Abul Abbas you pray for me.”I said to her, “You only pray for
me.”She prayed for me.
And I told her for more prayer. She said, “If she will disappear from there, then do
not censure her.” And immediately she was disappeared from there.
Sheikh Jamal Arifian Abu Mohammed, who said that “I have asked with Prophet
Khizer is there any chief of such persons. Where there they will return to him. And
who said “Yes”.Then I asked him who is chief in this present time. He said Sheikh
Abdul Quader .I asked to explain some details about him. He said that “ He is
incomparable among the friends and Qutub of the holy
persons of Allah. And Allah did not give such status to any holy persons as which
is given to him. Comparing to other holy persons Allah loved him very much.
These are some details of excellence, about Sheikh Abdul Quader which are told
by Prophet Khizer.”

16. His rule is thereupon jinns, mankind, Abdals, and on all creations
Abu Saeed Abdalla bin Ahmed Baghdadi, who said one day his 16 year old
daughter who went upon the upper storey and from there she was disappeared.
Then I went into the service of storey Shaikh Abdul Quader and has explained to
him all the details on this matter. He told him “To go the deserted place of Karq
tonight, which is a locality in Baghdad. And mark circle on the earth. And upon
marking the circle recite “Bismilla Ali Niyyat Abdul Quader” and sit in the circle.
When there will be spread of darkness than Jinns in the large number who will come
there and who will pass from you in many shapes.You should not afraid of them and at
the morning time the king of the Jinns who will come there with his army and he
will ask you while standing outside of the circle, what is your work.? Then tell him
that “Shaikh Abdul Quader has sent to you. And tell him the story of your girl to
him.” The narrator said that when I have done like this then these Jinns who have
passed in groups in dangerous shapes from there. Then there came the Jinn’s king on
his horse along with his army. And he was there and standing near the outside of
the circle and he has asked what is there is needed by you.? And I told him that
Shaikh Abdul Quader who has sent me here. So he got down from the horse
immediately and was kissed the earth,
 then he has sat outside of the circle and he has asked why he has sent you.? So I have
told about misplaced by my daughter.Then he was given the order to present the Jinn
who has taken away the girl from his house. And immediately that Jinn and the girl
were presented there. Then he said he is from Jinn from China. The king has asked
why you have taken her from stirrup of the Qutub. Then he was told that he was
like that girl and who has got a place in his heart. He was given the order to kill
such disobedient and to give the girl to me. I told him that I have not seen such a
faithful of Shaikh Abdul Quader. Then he said that why we will not become his loyal
as he has looked the world from his house. So for his horror, we will run away.
When Allah will appoint Qutub then he will give power upon mankind and Jinns. The
above narrator who said that “One Isphani who came to see Shaikh Abdul Quader
and told him that his wife is suffering from the disease of epilepsy. All magicians and
people of charms have become helpless in this matter for this reason. He told him that
“He is Dev of Sarandeep and his name is Dev Janas. If there will have a fit upon your
woman then to tell her in-ear that “Oh Janas to you Shaikh Abdul Quader who is
residing in Baghdad and who is saying that you should not come there again. And if
you will come again, then he will kill you. So that person went back and did as per
the saying of the Shaikh Abdul Quader. Over ten years I have met with him and
have asked about the condition of his wife. He said after that there was not found
that disease again. The big magicians who said that during of period of him for a
period of 40 years no person from his friends and his persons who were not
affected by this disease. And after his
death this disease which was prevailing in Baghdad again.
 Abu Abdallah Mohammed Bin Qidher Hussaini who said that one-time Abul Mani
Ahmed Bin Zafar, who was in the presence of Shaikh Abdul Quader and he said that
for a period of 15 years his son’s fever is not decreasing and his body parts have
become bending. Sheikh Abdul Quader told him in his two ears “Oh Um Maalm
Shaikh Abdul Quader is telling you to leave from my son and go toward Hala side.”
Then Abul Mani who said that he went from there and he did as per saying of the
Shaikh Abdul Quader. After this there was no fever came again and then I was come
to know the news that many persons of Hala are affected by the fever.
The above narrator who told that Shaikh Abul Hasan Ali, who becomes ill. And
Shaikh Abdul Quader who went to his house to see him there. And in his house,
there is Rami, which is an alike bird of ring dove and the pigeon. Regarding them, he
said to him, “Oh my chief for 6 months Rami did not lay eggs. And since 9 months
of ring dove has not been talking. Then Shaikh Abdul Quader told Rami that
whatever you have with you so give its benefit to your owner and told to Qamri
(ring dove) “Sataj Mafak Lil Khaliqaq.”Then ring dove began talking and Rami began
laying the eggs.
Shaikh Abul Hasan Ali Bin Qasim, who has narrated that Sheikh Abu Baker
Hamami who has the condition of the religion of Shiite and to whom used to say that
“ The Islamic law is complaining about you with me in this matter.Shaikh Abdul
Quader was saying some matters to him and for its avoidance but he was not agreeing
with him in this matter. One time he touched his hand on his chest and he was
taking back his condition as well as his position and upon becoming in bad
condition he was going to
Qaran from Baghdad. When he will make the intention to travel to Baghdad, then
used to befall on the earth by his head side. And if any person who wants to bring
him to Baghdad, then both of them used to befall on the earth by head side. One
time mother of Abu Baker came into the service of the Shaikh Abdul Quader by
weeping and she told him about his helpless condition and she has explained to him
that she did not have the power to go here and there. And my heart is becoming like
Kabab ( kabāb, meaning roasted meat) by burnt down by fire.Shaikh Abdul Quader
told that “ I have given order to him that to come to Baghdad from Qaran under the
earth and take out his head in the well which is available in his house and talk to
you there.Shaikh Muzafar who was the friend of Shaikh Abu Baker. He was seen
Allah in his dream and Allah has given him orders “Oh Muazafar what do you
want.” And he has requested for the correction of the condition of Shaikh Abu
Bakar.
Then there was given the order that if you want this, go into the service of
Shaikh Abdul Quader and tell him that “When I want to send calamity on mankind
then you have intercession in this matter than I have accepted it. Then your request
about that those people who have seen Muslim persons for whom there will be my
mercy upon them. Now I am happy with Abu Baker so you will also agree with Abu
Baker. Then I have blessed with the visit of the Sultan of the prophets and who said
“Oh Muzafar tell my successor and deputy Abdul Quader that your ancestor says to
correct the condition of Abu Baker because due to the anger of my Islamic law you
have made his condition worse. Now I have forgiven him. So you do your look of
kindness and accept this.”
 Sheikh Muzaffar when he was free from this event then he has the intention to
see Abu Baker so that he can inform him about the news of victory and triumph.
By chance both of them have met on the way at that time, there was the revelation
of the event to Abu Baker. When both of them came into the service of Shaikh
Abdul Quader then he said “Oh Muzaffar whatever you have seen in the event say
the same. He has said something and something he was forgotten. So he has reminded
him. Abu Baker repented in his service so he was taken him under his armpit and
touched him with his chest so immediately he got whatever he has lost.
When Abu Baker was asked how he will reach in the presence of his mother then
he said that he will be lifted and taken under the earth. When there will be his
meeting with my mother they used to take back to his place.
Shaikh Abul Hasan and learned persons who said that “Once Sheikh Abbad, who
proclaimed that after the death of Sheikh Abdul Quader he will become his
successor.” Then one-time Shaikh Abdul Quader who held the hand of Abbad and
told him that “Oh Abbad what there are your fondness and desire which I have
kept away from you and I have given order army of Hijar to kill you and by the
strike of his two hands he was seized in his position. And he was forsaken from his
place of presence. For a long time, he was living in such condition till such that
Sheikh Hameed Badwi there was rapture to him. And in such condition, there was
overpowering upon him. And he came out of the skin of mankind like a snake. And
there was the revelation of the world of angels upon him. And in that revelation, he
was reached with a group of learned persons. And on that group, there was
passed away wind of Nissim (breeze) and with that everybody was intoxicated.
It was said that there is the smell of the place of the Shaikh Abdul Quader and
after this, he was heard in his innermost someone who was saying “Oh my God, I
want the condition of Abbad to be corrected.”There was heard voice that his condition
will be corrected by such a person who has seized his condition.”When Shaikh
Hameed, who come back in the condition of a human being then he was gone in
the service of Shaikh Abdul Quader and then he has requested the condition of
Abbad.Then Sheikh Abdul Quader told him that “We have accepted your hope. Go
and bring him here.” He stood and brought him in his service. Then Shaikh Abdul
Quader told him that “Oh, Abbad, the expiation of this sin is to go and perform the
Hajj pilgrimage in Makkah. He told him “ Most willingly” and he went outside from
there. And by chance, there was prevailed condition of rapture upon him on the way
and he has vanished away from his existence. There was started blood discharged
from his every hair. After that, he came back to his original condition. At that time
Shaikh Abdul Quader told Shaikh Hameed that “Allah has corrected the condition of
Abbad and go and see him and he will be found in such and such place. I was
swearing that “I will not correct his condition unless I will not put him in the blood
and today he is lying in the blood.”
The above narrator who said that after this event, Shaikh Abdul Quader who said
two persons who fought quarrel with me so I have killed them immediately in the
court of Allah.
Shaikh Abul Ghanayam who said that I and Shaikh Ali bin Haitham both of
them went into the service of Shaikh Abdul
Quader when we have reached on the silt and have seen one young person who was
in the condition of unconscious and who was lying in his shrine building and that
young man when he has seen Shaikh Ali then he told him that “If you go in the
court of Shaikh Abdul Quader then do not forget intercession for him. When we
have come in service of Shaikh Abdul Quader then Shaikh Ali started his
conversation and he told him that the sinner person is requesting to forgive his sin.
Hope that there will be forgiveness of sin of that shameful person for my sake.Then he
said that “ Go for your sake I have forgiven him.”
Sheikh Ali Kamal, who came outside with much happiness. He was given the good
news to the young man that for my intercession was accepted and you have been
forgiven. That young man upon hearing good prediction then he was flown in the
air. Then we went again in service of shaikh Abdul Quader to ask him and to know
about the interpretation of this event. And to know the secret in this matter. Then
he told me that he was among invisible persons. One time he was flying in the
air.When he came to the top of Baghdad, then there came thought in his heart that
there is nobody is there in this city who is equal with him. So for this reason at that
time, I have seized his condition and put him down on the soil.”
“And if Shaikh Ali will not intercede for him, then he will have died in such
condition and if I would not have corrected his condition.”
There is another narration that when Shaikh Abdul Quader who said “Qadmi
Haza Ala Raqba Kull Wali Allah”.Then at that time every holy person of Allah who
bent down their neck before him.But one Isphani man “Who said that we are holy
persons of
Allah and also he is a holy person of Allah. What is there a requirement to bend
down our neck before him”.Shaikh Abdul Quader seized his position at the same
time and he has thrown him away from his nearness. Hazrat Maudud and Wadud
Quaderi Mashud, said that when that Isphani he has seen his condition than he was
regretted in this matter. And he came to Baghdad and he said to Saikh Ali Haithi and
one group of learned persons that he has regretted his saying. For him, there is
required the intercession for them. They told him that “ Due to his greatness and
horror we do not have the courage and unable to speak with him. But you come there,
then we will intercede for you by seeing the chance. In short, when that Isphani
came into the service of Shaikh Abdul Quader has asked who is this person.? The
persons have told that “He is that person from Isfahan. He is regretting from his
saying. And he wants repentance. He wants you to accept his repentance. He said that
“There is no need now.”
Sheikh Abu Mohammed Mufrah who said that when the flag of the wealth of
Quaderia which was hoisted in the sky and when there were beaten the drum of the
kingdom of the Quaderia and its sound were heard far and near and by lower and
higher class persons. Then at that time higher authorities of the Islamic jurists of
100 from Baghdad who went into the service of Sheikh Abdul Quader and among
all have asked with difficult questions with him. So that Shaikh Abdul Quader will be
answer less in this matter. When all have arrived at his meeting place, then Sheikh
Abdul Quader done revelation and I have seen that one lightning, which came out
from the chest of Sheikh Abdul Quader and which were entered into the heart of the
Islamic jurists. And
nobody was not able to know in this matter. But I was able to know it. At that time,
all have become surprised and unconscious and they began loud and cry and by
tearing their dress, then came to the pulpit without covering their heads. And all
have put their heads on the foot of Shaikh Abdul Quader and at that time there was
heard loud and cry very much. We have thought that there was panic all over
Baghdad. After that Shaikh Abdul Quader who took all of them under his armpit
and touched their chests and told all of them this is the reply to your question and
then the meeting was over. Then I have met him there. And have repented from my
previous condition.They said when they have reached in service of Shaikh Abdul
Quader and whatever we know from the knowledge of strange things and which
were forgotten by us there at that time and like that which were removed by our
hearts. When he took us under his armpit, then we find our lost knowledge.He has
explained to us the answers to our questions which have we have not heard before.
This is narrated by Shaikh Abul Muzafar bin Masnour Wasti that one day once I
came in the meeting place of Shaikh Abdul Quader. There was one book in my
armpit. In which there was mention of philosophy and spiritualism. Before seeing or
asking about the book Shaikh Abdul Quader told me that “Oh; Mansour this book is
your great friend stand and wash it.”
I have seen that my heart is not willing to wash the book because I love this
book very much. There was the intention from my side that I will keep this book in
the house and did never bring it in the meeting place of Shaikh Abdul
Quader.Sheikh Abdul Quader when he looked at my side, then I was unable to
stand from the place. He told me to give the book. I have opened the
book and seen that the book has become white paper and in which there was not
found written any word in it. I have given the book in the hand of Shaikh Abdul
Quader and when he turned the pages, then he said that this book of Fazail
(virtues) Quran. When he was given back the book, then I have seen that it was the
book it was Fazail (virtues) Quran in good handwriting. After this, he was told that
“Whether you repentance from that which you bring on your tongue and which is
not in your heart.” Then I said yes, my chief. The matter which was written in that
previous book which was remembered by me were removed from my memory and
was cancelled from my innermost knowledge like that there were not in my
memory of the heart.
Abu Omar and Osman Sarafni who have narrated that “Shaikh Baqa, Shaikh Ali bin
Haiti and Sheikh Abu Saeed Khilwavi who used to sweep on the door of the Shaikh
Abdul Quader and used to sprinkle water there.
And without the order of Shaikh Abdul Quader they did not use to sit in the
meeting place. They used to said that when there will be peace with Shaikh Abdul
Quder who used to say Lakam Aman then we will use to sit in the meeting place
and among them in the convenience of the plain of individuality and who at that
time they present there and when at the time of sitting on the horse by Shaikh
Abdul Quader those who will present then they used to carry saddle cover with
them and they used to walk before him.When Shaikh Abdul Quader used to
prohibit in this matter then they said that by such matters there will find nearness
of Allah.” The above narrator who said that “ I have seen venerable persons of his
time when they reach the door of his school and camp then they will kiss the silt of
his door.
 This said by Omar Bazaz that “Once he was going Jama mosque in Baghdad
along with Shaikh Abdul Quader and at that time nobody did not pay their attention
to him and did not say Salam to him. So I have thought in my heart that due to
Friday and due to rush the people are not recognizing us. Still, this thinking was in
my mind, then Shaikh Abdul Quader who smiled toward me. Then people who began
paying attention toward Shaikh Abdul Quader and saying Salam to him. There
were people who were disturbing among me and Shaikh Abdul Quader. Then I said
it was better than before. Then Shaikh Abdul Quader who paid attention to me and he
said “For this condition you have desired. You did not know the hearts of mankind
are under my control. So I change mankind’s attention to me or can change the
people’s attention, not toward me.”
Shaikh Baqa who has narrated that “One old person came in the meeting place of
Shaikh Abdul Quader along with his son. And he told him “Oh Hazrat to pray for
his son. This is my son”.But he was not his son really.So Shaikh Abdul Quader was
angered very much in this matter and he said your case was reaching for him to
such extent. Then by saying this, he was entered into his house. At that time due to
the anger of Shaikh Abdul Quader there was spread fire in surrounding areas of
Baghdad.If it will be stopped in one locality, then the fire will be started in another
locality.Shaikh Baqa who said that he was seen falling down of calamities from the
sky like clouds and which were due to reasons of anger of Shaikh Abdul Quader.
At that time I went into the service of Shaikh Abdul Quader and was seen that
Shaikh Abdul Quader who was still in the condition of anger. Then I went to one
corner of the meeting
place and was sitting silently there and began saying “Oh my chief be kind to
mankind which died.”
Then till such that anger of Shaikh Abdul Quader was over then at that time
such calamity was over from Baghdad and fire was extinguished.Yes oh darwesh if
there will be happen any disrespect or misfortune of deeds which cause anger of
Shaikh Abdul Quader.It is required that he should stand by facing towards direction
of Baghdad during time of evening and Eisha night prayer then he should recite
encomium (Qasida ) of Marah Al-Tarha and if he did not know reading then he
should be standing by written copy of the encomium of Marah Al-Tarha and it is
hoped that there will prevail affect the mercy of Allah at that time and then he will
be free from that calamity. The encomium of Marah Al-Traha is as follows in the
Persian language.
17. The details of his meeting place

Sheikh Omar Kemiani and Omer Bazaz and his sons Sheikh Abdul Razzaq, Abdul
Wahab who said that once Sheikh Abdul Quader who was said on the pulpit that on
the 16th Shawwal in the year 521 Heigra on Tuesday that “He was seeing the holy
prophet in the dream. And who has said, “Why did not talk.”I said my ancestor I
am a non-Arabic and how did he can talk before eloquent persons of the Baghdad.
Then he said to me “To open your mouth. When I have opened my mouth then he
has blown 7 times in my mouth.Then he said go and conversation with the people.”
It means with wisdom to give good advice to the people on the way of Allah.
So when I sat after performing Zuhar prayer than by that time there was a crowd
of the people around me. And I have seen there Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Taleb, who is
standing before me in the meeting place. And he said “ My son why did not talk. I
have said my father then my tongue was closed. He told me “To open your
tongue.” When I have opened my mouth then he has blown in my mouth six times.
I have asked why he did not blow for seven times. He said due to respect of the
prophet of Allah. Upon saying this he has vanished away from there. After this, I
had started my conversation like a diver of the thinker of the river of the heart and
for the search of the pearl of the fields of the knowledge. So that to bring them at
the side of the corner of the chest.
Then interpreter of the story which is the tongue and to whom it is called and
says that for the sake of the souls of the followers of the sincere way than their
houses can be purchased.
It means that there Allah has given permission to increase their status. The above
narrators who said that this is the first conversation that was made by Sheikh Adul
Quader.
Abu Abdallah Abdul Wahab bin Sheikh Mohiuddin who said that “ Who used to say
that my father who used to have the sermons three times in a week.One time on
Friday or Tuesday in his school and one time in his camp office on a Sunday. In his
meeting, there were used to find learned persons, Islamic jurists, and saintly
guides. He was engaged for a period of 40 years in the work of sermons and advice.
It means from the year 521 Heigra to 561 Hegira. And for the writing about the
benefits of the Sheikh Abdul Quader there will be available approximately 400 clerks
and learned persons. And in his meeting place, there will find the death of the 2 or 3
persons.
Sheikh Abu Saeed Khilawai who said that “In the meeting place of Sheikh Abdul
Quader I have seen the appearance of the many times of the Prophet Mohammed
(peace be upon him) and other prophets there. Their souls which fly in between earth
and the sky like the wind. I used to find many groups of angels there. There were
also found groups of Jinns and invisible men of God. Many times I have seen Prophet
Khizer in the meeting place and who said there that “The person who wants his
welfare and salvation, then he could come there in the service of the shrine.” Sheikh
Abu Zikeria Abi Nasar Baghdadi and who is well known as Ba-Sahrai and who said
that “ He used to be heard from his father that once he has called Jinn by magic and
that Jinn who came very late against his practice of the old habit. And he said that
“Do not call him at the time when there will be sermons and advices will be in
progress by Sheikh Abdul Quader. Then “I have
asked him why,?. Then he says that “ Among us all of the Jinns who used to
present in his meeting place.Our rush which will be more by comparing the number
of human beings. Many groups among us who have repented before him and have
accepted Islamic religion in his presence.
Sheikh Abu Zara Zaher who said that once I was present in the meeting of the
Sheikh Abdul Quader in the year 557 Hegira. He said that “ Sheikh Abdul Quader
said “My speech for such persons who will present from another side of the
mountain of Qaf (The Caucasus as the legendary abode of the fairies). Their feet are
in the wind. And their hearts are on celestial. Their caps which will be burnt down
soon in the much fondness of the love of Allah.Hazrat Abdul Quader's son Abdul
Razzaq, who was sitting downside on the foot of the pulpit and who has seen at the
sky side for some time, then he has become unconscious and his head cap, bowstring
of the dress which were burnt down there.Sheikh Abdul Quader who got down
from the pulpit and extinguished his fire at that time and he was, told him, “ Oh
Abdul Razzaq you are also among them.”
When the above narrator who has asked: “Oh Abdul Razzaq what is the reason for
your becoming unconscious?.” Then he said that “When I have seen in the wind
where I have to find invisible persons of Allah who were seen there by putting
down their necks and who were listening to the speech of Sheikh Abdul Quader.”

conversation which make him unconscious and overpower.If I will not make
conversation then
my mouth is being caught. And it is not possible to be sitting in silence.” Before
this, there were two or three persons who used to listen to my speech. Then slowly,
there was an increase in the crowds of the people. Then I began to sit on the prayer
mat of Bab Halab and there was an increase of crowds, then they have taken prayer
mat in the prayer place out of the city and there people began coming to hear my
sermons on horses, mules, camels, and donkeys. And who makes a circle around
the meeting place.So there will be the presence of 70,000 people in the meeting place.
Sheikh Abul Falah who said that he has heard by Sheikh Abdul Quader that
and who said “I am not such as your preachers of sermons . But he will tell as per
the command of Allah and my speech is with such persons who are standing in the
air.”
Sheikh Abu l Qasim Mohammed Bin Ahmed, who said that “I used to sit under
the pulpit of the Sheikh Abdul Quader and who have some of his heralds and who
used to sit by in the number of two persons near the foot of the pulpit. In that place,
except for holy persons of Allah or persons of condition or status, nobody will not
sit there. “
Qazi Abu Saleh, who said that “He was heard by his uncle Abdalla Abdul
Wahab and who said I have traveled in the non- Arabic countries and I have learned
strange and different types knowledge of arts and when I come back to Baghdad, then I
have asked permission of my father to say sermons in the Baghdad and he has
given me permission in this matter. I have stood on the pulpit and began saying
about different kinds of knowledge and given advices and which were heard also by
my father in the
meeting place, but in the meeting place no person did not affect by it and also there
was no effect of it on the heart of the persons and no one wept by my sermons and
advice. There was too much loud and cry in the meeting place.”Then my father
came over on the pulpit and he began saying that “ Yesterday I have kept fasting.
And Um Yahiah who has fried some eggs and which she kept in the basket and
which she put in the window. Then one cat came over there and she was falling off
the basket of the eggs and which was broken. When Sheikh Abdul Quader who said
this then were heard slogans from each and every side in the meeting place.When he
got down from the pulpit, then I have asked to him what is this matter.?” Then he
said “Oh my son you are proud of your journey and with his finger, he has pointed
toward the sky and he said, “Whether you have traveled from here to that place.”
Then he said when I will go to the pulpit then there will be the manifestation of
Allah upon my heart. And Allah will take possession of the expansion from horror.
There will be prevailed happiness and rapture from this reason. As you have seen. The
narrator who said that then he, once again, he went over on the pulpit and he has
explained knowledge of fundamentals, arts of the Islamic jurisdictions, advice, and
guidance but there was no effect of my sermon on any person’s heart. And he was
getting down from the pulpit. Then my father who went to the pulpit and he said:
“Oh keepers of good heart, it is braver to have the patience of one moment.” At
that time there was started lamentation in the meeting place also I was included in
it. When I have asked the reason for it, then my father said that “ You have a speech
from your side and I have a speech from the side of an outsider it means from the
side of Allah.”
 Abu Hafz Omer Bin Hussain Bin Khalil Tayabi who said that “ Once Sheikh
Abdul Quader who said to me “Oh, Umar do not be away from my meeting place in
which there will be distributed robes of honor. There is regret on the condition of
that person from whom such grace is lost.”
The above narrator said that after some time there was a prevailed sleep in the
meeting place that I have seen that there came green and red robes of honour from
the sky in the meeting place. When my eyes were opened, then I wanted to say this
matter to the people, then at that time Sheikh Abdul Quader told: “My son been
silent.” Shiekh Ben Musafir who has narrated that “One-day Sheikh Abdul Quader
who is giving the sermon and then the rain was started. So the persons were
dispersed. Then he said that “ I am collecting and you are dispersing.” Then at that
time the rain was stopped at the meeting place but it was still raining outside of the
meeting place.
Sheikh Aba Baker bin Ahmed Bin Mohammed Tantavi who said that “Sheikh
Emad, who told him that “One day Sheikh Abdul Quader who was giving the
sermon and then the rain was started. So the persons were dispersed. Then he said that
“ I am collecting and you are dispersing.” Then at that time rain was stopped at the
meeting place but it was still raining outside of the meeting place.
The above narrator who said that I was outside of the city and then the rain was
started. He said he came to know from reliable persons that one day Sheikh Abdul
Quader who was giving the sermon and then the rain was started. So the persons
were dispersed. Then he said that “ I am collecting and you are
dispersing.” Then at that time the rain was stopped. Then he has prayed with Allah
and said “Oh Allah for the sake of honour of Sheikh Abdul Quader stop rain for
me.”So, for this reason, the rain has stopped then I was reaching my house and
again afterward the raining was started.
18. Teaching and legal opinions
Sheikh Abdul Wahab who has narrated that the period of teaching and legal
opinions which were at his school was from the year 528 Hegira to 561 Hegira and
which approximately for a period of 33 years. Sharif Abdalla Abu Mohammed Bin
Khizer Mouseli and who was heard from his father that Sheikh Abdul Quader who
used to advice in 13 knowledges. First in his school first quarter of day for Tafsir
(exegesis of Qurn), knowledge of Hadith (tradition of the Holy prophet), religion,
lessons in tents of the faith, Usul (fundamentals) and Nahu (syntax) and after Zuhar
prayer he used to be engaged in Quranic studies.
Sheikh Abul Hasan Mohammed Bin Ahmed Bin Ali Bin Mohammed Hashmi
Baghdadi, Shiekh Mohuiuddin Mohammed and Sheikh Saifuddin Mohammed, who
said that Qazi Abi Saleh, who from his father Sheikh Abdul Razzaq and his uncle
Abdul Wahab and Abul Hasan Bazaz has given the news that “Whenever there will
be sent legal opinion in service of Sheikh Abdul Quader. And we have not seen
there is a delay for it for the night or he has studied it, or he has thought over it. But
he will read it and then he will give his legal opinion on this matter. He will write
his legal opinion as per the saying of Imam Shafei and Imam Hanbal that when the
learned persons of Iraq when they see his legal opinions, then so they will be
surprised for his fastness of giving reply as well as correction of legal opinions.
Whoever will be engaged in the work of legal opinion in his service than that
person who will become famous among his contemporary persons in a short period
of time. And other persons who will become in the helpless condition of him in
this matter.
This said by Sheikh Abul Razzaq that “Once there cmae one legal opinion came to
Baghdad from the non-Arabic area. The learned persons of Iraq who seen it but
nobody could able to give legal opinion in this matter.The situation of that legal
opinion was that “One person who was sworn for triple Talaq (divorce) like that
“He will worship for a period of one week lonely like that during the week and
nobody will not do such worship like me.Now what kind of worship that person
can do from which there will be no divorce in this matter”.The above narrator who
said that when he was taken this legal opinion case in service of my father then
immediately he was given legal opinion on it that “Person should go to Makkah
and there he should clear Mataf (The Mataf refers to the open white area
immediately around the Ka’aba where Tawaf takes place.) area and he should engage
in circumambulation for one week isolated from others. So that he can be free his
swearing.”
Shiekh Abul Hasan Ali Bin Haithi who said that I with Sheikh
Abdul Quader and Baqa Batu went to the tomb of Imam Hanbal to visit.So he has
seen that Imam Hanbal who came out of his grave and he was embraced with Sheikh
Abdul Quader. And he said “ Oh Shiekh Abdul Quader towards me, I am in a
helpless condition for knowledge of Islamic law and mysticism and reality as well as
knowledge, and condition of the actions.
 19. The details of the death
Sheikh Abdul Wahab who said that “ In the service of my father at the time of the
beginning every month used to be present. And if there will be any bad things in it,
then it will appear in the shape of the unhappiness. And if there will be goodness
and blessing, then there will appear in the shape of happiness. In the year 560 Hegira
in the month of Jamad al-Akhir’s last Friday.When at that time there was sitting
one group of saintly guides in the service of Sheikh Abdul Quader. Then at that time,
one smart young man came there and he said Aslam Alaikum Ya Wali Allah. I am the
month of Rajab. I came here to congratulate you and also to inform you what is
there good and bad in this month as per fate. The above narrator who said that
during the month of Rajab we did not find except good and welfare.On the last
Sunday of Rajab, one person came there in worse shape in his service and he said that
Aslam Alaikum Ya Wali Allah. I am the month of Shaban. I came here to
congratulate you and also to inform about the death and destruction about mankind
of the Baghdad, dearness in the area of Hijaz and Kharasan in killing as per the fate.
When the month of Shaban came in, which happened the events the same as per
the forecasting. In the month of Shaban Shiekh Abdul Quader's health was not good
for some days. On Monday on 29th Shaban when there were many saintly guides who
were in his service like Shiekh Ali Bin Haithi, Shiekh Najibuddin Suherwardi etc.,
who were present there in his service. Then at that time one respectable and brave
person who came there and he said Aslam Alaikum Ya Wali Allah. I am the month
of Ramadan and whatever which will happen upon you for which I came here to
regret in this matter.Also, I came
here to say goodbye to you because this is our last meeting. Thus he left from
there.And Sheikh Abdul Quader in the next year died in the month of the Rabbil
Akhir. And then there was no meeting of him with next Ramadan month.
Regarding Sheikh Abdul Wahab’s asking for testament with Sheikh Abdul
Quader during his period of death illness. Then Sheikh Abdul Quader who told him
that “To do such abstinence for sake of Allah and think Allah's sincerity as compulsory.
Do not have fear of anybody and do not have hope from anybody. It means to
surrender all your desires with Allah. And from Allah demand all your desire and
wishes. Except Allah does not have trust in anybody. And do not have confidence in
anybody except Allah.And all have consensus on the Unity of God.” After this, his
sons who were sitting there around him and he told them “ Except you all, there is
came to another group which came near me so stood and give place to them and
gives respect to them. At that time there was falling great mercy of Allah. And the
place is very tight. Then he said “There is mercy upon you. There may be mercy and
blessing and Allah may forgive me and all of you. May accept my and your
salvation.”
And there is a tradition that Sheikh Abdul Quader who repeated the following
phrase for one night and day.“I do not care about anything. Even not afraid of the
angel of death.”
This was said by Sheikh Abdul Razzaq and Sheikh Abu Nasar Musa that angel of
death came near to him then he said “Istanat bila elha ela allah alhai lazi layumt wala
yaqsha subhan min taziz bilqudrat wal qaher alebad bilmout la elaha illalha
Mohammed rasul Allah.” Till such by this time his soul left his body.
 There is narration of the above narrator who said that “ I have heard number of
times by Sheikh Abdul Quader who used to say on pulpit that “For holy persons of
Allah the Ramadan month who used to visit and inform them and regret for the
matters of illness etc., which will happen upon them during the month of
Ramadan.”
Oh darwesh, it should be clarified that regarding the death of Shiekh Abdul
Quader it was written in the book that he died in the year 561 Hegira on date of
17th of the month of Rabil Akhir. In some magazines, it was mentioned that he has
died on the 13th Rabil Akhir. But the first saying is correct. Because some learned
persons who came from Baghdad who said that “ The annual death anniversary of
Sheikh Abdul Quader which will be celebrated on 17th Rabil Akhir. In the book
Bahjja Israr it is mentioned that he died in the month of Rabi Akhir and this saying
is correct as someone who has written his date of death and set verse pattern in the
Persian couplet which is available in the book of biography of Sheikh Abdul Quader
in the Persian edition and which is not added in the English edition of the book.

The verse Fateha (The opening)

It is difficult Your praise and it is hidden Your virtues in all

You are visible there in all and You are there in everything
For every particle, you are created from the beginning to end
You are Sustainer of all not in this world and another world
You are Lord of the worlds and you are forgiver of the worlds
You are kind to all and Your kind favor is there for all persons
Those who are pious then You are merciful to such persons
Your special favour and kindness is there for all of them
You are the owner everyone settles deeds on judgment day
In your hands is a penalty and a prize and you are the owner
All our worship is for Your sake, oh Lord of the two worlds
All slaves belong to you from the origin, if he is big or small
For all our needs you are must and Your personality is kind
You give all one who calls you as You are a kind helper to all
Guide us such right path now, on which path who went away
With Your graces and all passed away on such path indeed
But there will be no such way never, which is ignored by You
So who lost and misguided on such way due to your anger
This is the prayer of your slave and the request of your lowest
Accept the prayer of Hafeez as you are owner of two worlds

Tadhkiratal-Auliya’ by Farid-AL-Din Attar

Introduction

Farid Al-din Attar is considered one of the preeminent mystical poets of the
Persian literary tradition. The duration of his life is uncertain, though he can be
placed in the 12th and 13th centuries C.E. born in Nishapur in what is today Iran.
Attar apparently was a pharmacist but little information about his personal life
is  known. During his lifetime he is believed to have written approximately 9
books, including such famous works as The Manteq Al-Tayr (The Conference of
the Birds)   and The Ilahi-Nama (The book of God) Tadhkiratal-Auliya (Muslim
Saints and Mystics) is considered world famous classical book of Persian literature
which printed and re-Printed in many countries.

An abridgment, translated by A.J. Arberry, of Attar's only known prose work

Tadhkirat Al-Auliya (The Memorial of the Saints) which he worked on throughout
much of his life and which was available publicly before his death. Arberry's
translation is an abridgment. The entry on Owaise of Qarani translated by me
which was omitted in Arberry's text is added to the above web site. In Tadhkiratal-
Auliya Sheikh Farid-Al-Din Attar wrote many chapters and in those chapters, there
is full information and details of the titles are available. His style of writing is most
interesting and for this reason, the readers will remember the chapters from the
above great book for a longer time.
Due to many great chapters, this book is very famous in   the world and its
translations are available in many languages of the world. Mr. David Rosenbaum’s

My three poems
Please find my three poems which are as follows and these are well known and
famous since my college days and which were already published in the A.U.
College Magazine of Hyderabad and now I have added these poems in this book.

1.The Taj Mahal

In the darkness of night

I visited the tomb of white
Full beautiful in the glorious moonlight
Shah Jahan’s love and Mumtaz’s beauty
Making fun of today’s love and poverty
No-one leaves without feelings of beauty
After seeing the Taj Mahal’s majesty
The Taj was reminding me of the duty of love
And showing the king’s power of love
Even today in the darkness of strife
The Taj is preaching a lesson of love and life.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
-------------------------------------------------------

2. In Thy memory

Her death day came with the fragrance of the memories

Which shaken the depth of our the saddest memories
Even the seasonal changes and otherworldly affairs
Could not diminish away her saddest loving memories
Due to the saddest grief, our souls are broken
We are worldly losers and our hearts are broken
Oh: her saddest old memories you must not die
Guide us to cover the deliverances of the world
Oh: the heavenly Lord takes Thou care of this soul
Who never faced any worldly peace and pleasure.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
------------------------------------------------------
 3.The Dim flame

When the flame of her life was going to dim

No one of us not there to say goodbye
It is how painful for our whole lives
That we cannot see her at death time
Death is sure for every human beings
But how her strange death was true?
Her loving relatives were far from her
And they cannot reach for the last visit
We should believe in the heavenly Lord
Who made our vast and great human land
Sure, she has gained a position in the grave land
So, We should not worry Allah is great and known.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
======================================

The author wept very much at the Kazipet graveyard

The author upon his return from his service of the foreign country visited Kazipet
after a gap of many years the grave of his grandfather and grandmother at Kazipet
recently in the month of May 2014.
When he visited the grave of his grandfather, which is under a big Neem tree and
its shed is spread over large areas of the graveyard and my grandmother’s grave is
situated beside the grave of my grandfather. Both graves are well maintained so
they are available in good condition.
As both graves are under the big old Neem tree so there is too much shade, as well
as so much cold and peaceful atmosphere and comfort, is available there. So an
atmosphere of peace and comfort is   available there too much due to the coolness
of the branches of Neem tree which is prevailing in the graveyard. For this reason,
an atmosphere of coolness and peace condition is there   and due to this reason,
there will be thinking arise in the mind of the author that both of them living in a
peaceful condition.
However, the author wept too much there because his grandfather who was
administrator of the shrine of Kazipet for many years and his grandmother who
lived in Kazipet village for many years and she did many endeavors there and she
helped many needy women and children there so now both of them are buried in
the graveyard of Kazipet shrine and nobody is not there in the village to visit them
from their lineage but many unknown visitors are visiting their graves there and the
author have personally seen many flowers on the graves which were placed by
those unknown persons.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The connection of the author’s family members with Kazipet

When my granddad Sheikh Dadan reached Kazipet on his transfer from another
place and he was attracted by the teachings of Sufi Center at Kazipet during the
period of Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani Radi Allahu Anhu the successor and
son of great Sufi master Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal Biabani Radi Allahu Anhu. When
my granddad became his disciple and he left immediately the following things.
1 .He left his superior job in the police department. 2. He left his native place of
Medak. 3. He left his big house in Medak.
Due to the kindness and favour of Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam Biabani Radi Allahu
Anhu my granddad had got the job of estate administrator of Dargah Sharif and a
plot of land of 1000 yards from the center of Kazipet village. On this plot, my
granddad had constructed a big house (Gulshan Manzil) on 500 yards and one big
garden on 500 yards.

I enjoy doing the translation of Sufi works and my translated first episode is
available with the following publication note of Mr. David Rosenbaum of the New
York Times which is available on the above mentioned famous U.S.A. website.
At Kazipet Jagir my dad, Mohammed Afzal and my brother Mohammed Abdus
Samad and Me Mohammed Abdul Hafeez and my sister Meher Unisa were born
there. In Qazipet my father married to Akthar Begum, daughter of Mr. Abdul
Majeed of
Bidar district who was working at that time in the education department as an
education officer. After many years of service at Qazipet Dargah Sharif (shrine)
with great fame and good name, my granddad passed away and upon his death, our
big house was deserted as all members of our family migrated to Hyderabad and
some other places, but my grand mom stayed in the big lonely house with her
maidservant as she never thinks to leave the place of his great Sufi master. Upon
living many years there she had been shifted to Hyderabad when she became ill
due to the fracture of her foot, but due to her great love for the great Sufi Center at
Kazipet upon her death, we had taken her dead body to Kazipet from Hyderabad
and she was buried at the backside of the tomb of her Murshid (spiritual master)
Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani. (R. A.)
During 1986 I had tried my best to re-settle my family members from Hyderabad
to Kazipet Jagir but I was not successful in this matter as my son's (Mohammed
Abdul Wasi Rabbani) application for admission in St. Gabriel school Fatima Nagar
was not accepted there due to late submission. We are staying in Hyderabad with
our family members, but we never miss any chance to visit the holy shrine of
Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal Biabani R. A. And Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani R.A.
At Kazipet Jagir on regular basis.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
An event of the theft during the service of a period of my grandfather at
Kazipet shrine

During the period of Syed Shah Ghulam Afzal Biyabani, this event was happening.
At that time there was a grant of Rupees fifty towards the salaries of the staff of
Noban Khana (the place from where time is announced by the beat of the drum) in
which there were some staff members used to work there and it was headed by the
supervisor. By the government of H.E.H.The Nizam of Hyderabad, there was
every month the royal grant which was used to reach the custodian of the Qazipet
shrine through the supervisor from the government treasury. From there it will
reach the administrator of the estate and who will be used to distribute the amount
of salaries to all concerned staff.
As per reference by Tufazal Hussain advocate that one month the supervisor of
Nobat Khana who was obtained the amount of Rupees fifty towards the salaries
from the Royal treasury office and he was fled to Hyderabad. But in the shrine
building, the staff members were waiting for him to receive their salaries from him
and but at last, they were able to know that the supervisor was fled from Qazipet
and he was reached to Hyderabad.
At that time the custodian of the shrine of Kazipet was in Hyderabad. So the estate
administrator Sheikh Dadan, who was grandfather of the translator of this book
was informed the details of this case to Tufazal Hussain advocate and this event
was mentioned by Syed Khaja Sadat Hussain Biyabani in his Urdu book ‘Lemat
Biyabani’ (This book was already translated by me with the title of Biography of
Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam Afzal Biabani and has been posted by in the paperback
and electronic book formats on amazon.com) and he was mentioned the details of
this event on the pages 110-111 of his book and he was requested to take action
against the supervisor of the police department. In his reply, Tufazal Hussain
advocate wrote him that as the custodian of the shrine is present in Hyderabad and
if we start action against him, so due to kindness if the culprit will be forgiven by
him then it will be not proper in this matter to initiate the case against him. So it is
better to take the approval of the action from the custodian of the shrine first so
that it is proper to take further action in this matter.
It was learned by me that the estate administrator Sheikh Dadan was sent the letters
by post to Hyderabad for the kind perusal of the shrine custodian there.
The estate administrator Sheikh Dadan who is the grandfather of this translator and
whose memory this event was specially translated from the following book for the
information of the readers of the International Internet Libraries in the U.S.A.
especially for the readers of these two websites as
follows. www.calmeo.com and www.scribd.com
Upon this, it has happened that supervisor of Nobat Khana after spending of the
amount was reached to see the custodian and he told him all details in this matter
and he requested him to forgive his mistake and he made loud and cry in this
matter and he requested him to allow him to join back in his post.
It was learned later that the custodian of the shrine was kept the supervisor at his
residence in Hyderabad for a period of three days. During that period the letters of
the Estate Administrator and the advocate was reaching for him. Upon this, he was
given the travel expenses from Hyderabad to Kazipet to the supervisor of the
Nobat Khana and was sent him from Hyderabad to Kazipet and he was given the
instruction to the estate administrator which is as follows.
“ That the supervisor was presented in his service and he ashamed of his bad deed
so he was forgiven his mistake in this matter. So you also forgive him and allow
him to join on his duty. Otherwise, he is a poor person having small children with
him so they will become economically poor and will be destroyed in this matter.
Arrange the salary of Nobat Khana staff members from another fund.”
So after some days, the supervisor was coming back to Qazipet from Hyderabad
and he was allowed to join in his post as per order the custodian of the shrine of
Kazipet and the staff members of the Nobat Khana was paid their salaries from the
other fund by the administrator of the estate. (Reference from my translated

Dear Mr. Hafeez Sahib
Wa Alaykum Assalaam,

Jazakallah for your sincere time and efforts it is an impressive contribution Indeed,
it is a nice English Translation and will help us to share with English speaking
people. There are certain places need to be updated in your translation. May Allah
SWT bless you with the spiritual support of Hadrat Syed Jalaluddin Jamalul Bahar
Mashooq Rabbani.
I believe we should enhance the compilation done by Hazrath Syed Aulia Quadri
RA around some 55 years ago-- there are other historical books (should be
available in A.P. Archaeology and State Central Library and other libraries. I know
some books such as Mishkat un Nubuwwah by Hazarath Syed Ghulam Ali Shah
R.A., Mahboob-Zil-Menon - Tadkiray Aulia Deccan page 248 and Tawariqul
Auliya second part page 528.
Insha Allah, Ali pasha will gather the information on Hadrat Mashooq Allah R.A
from the above-mentioned books and from other sources and we will print a
revised edition soon.
Once again, thank you and our heartfelt appreciation for your translation work.

Wassalam.

In the loving memory of my mother

Mother you lived long and left us on 3rd November 2016

And showed us life by drawing a good road map of life

You  protected us since childhood till the present time

So we cannot ignore you during our entire period of life

Your life   was not at all dull in the wasteful ways

It was an example of the struggle for a happy life

Your determination was so great to fight the life

By such you have good benefits you have gained

You   acted in the world, but also active in the religion

Your presence   was a grace due to the kindness of God

After your demise, was a loss and damage in the house

Her name   Akhter, she was a star of the luck in her life

Her life journey was   ended in 6 days in the hospital

Left on us an impression which cannot be removed

Oh God, you have been given a position in the   world

Kindly bestow   the mercy on her final resting place

 Preface

This is  biography of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi and which

have been added by me and which is taken from the biographical details of the
Urdu book, Hayat Tayaba Hazrat Bahauddin Zikeria Multani is included by
me upon its translation into the English edition and this book is a well known and
famous book which is written by Mohammed Haseeb Quaderi and who wrote this
book in the Urdu language and which was translated into the English language by
me.
These details have been translated by me into the English
language from the above old book of the Urdu language and in
which there are available some great achievements, as well as
the commands and teaching of the students of the mystic way
by this Muslim saint in the area of the Baghdad and which are
not yet known to the general and special persons are added in
this book and which are available in a very interesting style so
for this reason, the readers will find great interest and attention
in this matter. And for the above Urdu’s book is given title is
given as Hayat Tayaba Hazrat Bahauddin Zikeria Multani and I
have given the title for my translated book’s English edition as
“Biography of Hazrat Bahuddin Zakaria Multani.”

 Due to the above facts and details, if the readers will start
reading its first page of the book and will not stop reading till
they will reach this book’s last page as some interesting events
and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of the
Muslim Saint of Multan is added in this book and these holy
saints who were passed away from the world many centuries
and years ago.
Even though this is a small book, but due to its importance,
it is so great due to the coverage of many interesting events
and positive information so it is like an ocean of knowledge and
information  about Biography of Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi
who was passed away from the world upon doing his
great endeavours and many hard tasks for the teaching and
propagation of the Islamic religion and the work of Islam and
which they have done in the area of Baghdad so this book is a
great book and it will present the ocean of knowledge for the
guidance of people towards the right path of Islam.

To write about this great saint and the great spiritual master
is not only it is difficult and but it is a very hard task. In
the Biography of Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherabadi in which
they're we do not only add the biography of the great pious
the personality of his time in the area of Baghdad and who was also
a great and famous spiritual master so, in brief, they were great
holy persons of Allah of his time in the Baghdad region.
For a long time, they were engaged in religious discourses,
sermons, and spiritual training of the people and they did also
many great endeavours for the preaching and propagation

 work of Islam in Multan and around this region and also there
was no such personality during his time in the world.

As this book of the biography of the holy saint is very short in

length so for this reason, the translator’s biography is added as
per the requirement of the length of pages of the book of the
 Biography of Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi.
 1. The dangerous python

Outside of the Damascus city, there was living one dangerous

python in some cave there. And the python who kills using to
kill all the persons who pass from there. The local persons who
have tried their best to kill the python, but were not successful
every time in this matter. Due to the helpless condition the
persons left to pass by that way for this reason. If there will
pass a new person or traveller from that way, then that
dangerous python who used to kill that person for this reason.
The python used to live in the cave in the silent condition, but
when he will hear the sound of the steps of coming to any
person there, then in that condition the python will come
outside at the fast speed. And will caught and swallow that
person and kill in this way in the seconds very soon. The local
person has tried their best to close down the cave, but due to
the interruption of the python which made it impossible. So for
the local persons were face failure in their endeavours.
During the journey when Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin
Zakaria Multani was passing on that way in Damascus and he
was proceeding toward that place of the dangerous python.
And as per practice the python who was there and who waiting
for his hunting there. Upon hearing the sound of the steps of
his hunting the python who came outside of the cave very fast
and was attacked on the Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin
Zakaria Multani and so, for this reason, he was looking at the
python and was putting his coverlet on the python and he  left
from there and he has proceeded ahead on his way in the
peaceful condition. And he did not see backside by turning
what was happening to the python in this matter. After some
time the persons passing from long distances have seen that
there were available coverlet and the dangerous python was
lying in the dead condition there.
The persons who went near the dead python by fearing and
they could not find any movement in the body of the python.
And it was found the dead condition in python. So, for this
reason, the news spread in the suburbs and in the city of
Damascus. So for these reasons the people thanked Allah in this
matter. A large number of the people who were gathered
nearer the cave of the python there. Now it was created
suspense among the people that the coverlet belongs to which
holy person. And due to such reason, the python went into the
mouth of death. At last after many hard endeavours and search
its secret was known that coverlet belongs to the Shaikh of
Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani and due to this reason
his fame and name which was spread all sides in Damascus and
for this reason many thousand people visited him in the large
crowds around his place of the residence. And in that place, he
stayed there for a long time.
 2. In the service of the Shaikhs

The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani during

his whole journey in his travel and tourism he  continued his
search for the perfect spiritual master. But he could not find
the jewel of the .In the city of Damascus, he has lived for a
period of five years, but he did not get finished his thirstiness in
this matter. At that time in Damascus, there were living the
genius learned persons and he was getting  favour from all of
them, but he did not find the pearl which he was searching in
this respect. When ever he will ,visit any shrine building, then at
that time there will be heard the sound in this matter that still
your destination is far away.
As the writer of the fates who like the fate of the general
persons who has also written about the fate of the students of
the mystic way as well as holy persons as per his wisdom and
who has written on the first day and as per it there will get at
one time and at one place the jewel of the destination as per
required in the persons. And for this to get aim in this matter,
there are required real endeavours and perfect spiritual and
which is must and necessarily. And as per this rule and
regulation, he has done endeavours and visited each and every
shrine building of the perfect person.But as the time and place
which has not come there for him to get the jewel and so for
this reason he was becoming a failure in this matter. The
demand and endeavours which were increasing like rays of the
sun, which were damaging the heart as well as it was increasing
more and more at each movement continuously.
Departure to Samarkhand: The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat
Bahauddin Zakaria Multani in the condition engrossment he has
gone to Samarkand from Damascus. When he  reached
in Samarkand, then he was able to know that there is one holy
person who is there who is a person of perfection. So, for this
reason, he went into his service to visit him, and that holy
person who was engaged with  the condition of absorption and
engrossment there.
The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who
went into his service for many days and said Salam to him, but
he could not reply of his Salam from other, side and that holy
person who was still in the condition of the engrossment and so
for this reason he did not able to see who come there and why
he did come there.? Even the condition of the situation which
was hopeless and discourages but he did not disappoint in this
matter. And he was continuing to go into service and he did not
leave his edge of the shirt of the patience. And in this way a
period of the two years were passed away and that holy
person who has come back into his normal condition. The
Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani was waiting
this time, so for this reason, he went toward him with
eagerness and was able to get benediction of the kissing of his
hand. That holy person who has looked anxiety on him and he
was smiling and said as follows.
“ Bahauddin welcome to your arrival. And you have waited a
long period of time. And you have suffered a lot of difficulties in
this way. But remember that by service of the holy persons
there will be available wishes and desires of both worlds. Oh,
Baha Uddin this fakir who is in the condition of the
engrossment of the sea of the lights for 30 years and he is
unaware of the persons coming and going here for this reason.
Today there is the order of the friend to talk with you and to
inform my condition to you in this matter. Oh: dear for
the darwesh there is no such danger of the company of
mankind to him because as such he will be nearer of mankind,
then he will be away from Allah for such extent in this matter.”
The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani told
him that “For his meeting, if his life period will end, then, for
this reason, there will be no regret for him.”
The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani
thought that if there will be a fall condition of absorption again
in that holy person. So, for this reason, he will be kept away
from hearing the conversation of that holy person and for this,
his eagerness was increasing so much in this matter. But for the
sake of respect Shaikh of time who was silent. After a period of
a long time, that holy person who breaks the silence and who
has given him his prayer mat and gold coins full of one fist to
him and he told him as follows.
“ This is your journey expenses and you have to cover a long
journey and it is enough so now you are  leaving from here.”
The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who
has collected that benediction with much fondness and
affection and he wants to ask with him that where is his
destination than by this time that holy person who was
vanished away from there from his look at that time
immediately. So for this reason he was surprised in this matter,
then he began looking for some time for golden coins and for
some time the prayer mat as well as he was looking the place of
the holy person where some time ago one love-sick who was
sitting there. So, for this reason, he was taking a deep sigh and
he said as follows.

“Still I could not see the face of the flower as per my wish of the
heart and then ended spring season in this matter .”
For this arrival of the spring and for the luster of the flower
and for its waiting he was thereby spending his two years of
age. But that flower who was showing  his splendour for some
time and left from the look like breeze Nassim's wave and its
rustle which was given the good news of the life increasing for
the search of the reality and was advised him to go far away
from there and so for this reason he was much shocked in this
matter and which was increased his much uneasiness for this
reason in this matter.
Arrival in Baghdad: So as per the order of that lover of the
Allah Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who
has increased his endeavours for the search of a spiritual
master in this matter. During this period he was visiting many of
the cities in the search of the perfect spiritual master and after
covering  the long journey for many years, then he was reached
in Baghdad city for this reason and Baghdad is such city in
which there lived in every period of time some perfect holy
person there. So for the reason, the searchers of the reality
who will reach Baghdad upon long journey period for this
reason to finish thirstiness and they will get the realization of
the reality in this matter. The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin
Zakaria Multani when he put the step of his foot in Baghdad,
then at that time he was smelled the fragrance of his spiritual
master. As he was in search of the spiritual master when he
was got smell then, for this reason, his eagerness which was
increased so much in this matter. He has proceeded toward the
shrine building of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi. And
Hazrat Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi who was the founder of
the Suherwardia chain a genius holy person of his time so for
this reason many thousand people who used to visit his shrine
building and will able to get their jewels of destination.
Meeting with Shaikh of the Shaikhs: When Hazrat Bahuddin
Zakaria Multani was entered into the shrine building of the
Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi and at that time he was 48
years old approximately. In short, when the look of the Shaikh
Shahabuddin Zikeria Multani Suherwardi which falls upon the
face of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi then he was crying
suddenly that “ This is your destination and this is your jewel.”
When the look of the Hazrat Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi
upon him, then his condition of absorption, which was
increased very much then he was involved in the condition of
surprise and happiness for some time then suddenly he has
come back into the normal condition from absorption. So
Hazrat Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi went towards Shaikh
Shahabuddin Suherwardi in eagerness and he has put his head
on the knee of the sheet used as a garment for the lower part
of the body of the Shaikh and gets benediction of the kissing of
the hands. And in a sad style, he has recited one couplet in the
Persian and its meaning and interpretation is as follows.
“I have not become the prisoner of your love today, but it
belongs to me since the first day and which came into my fate.”

When Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi was heard above

couplet then he was standing  and embarrassed him warmly.
Then when Hazrat Bahuddin Zakaria Multani then began
weeping and said to him that “Shaikh I am tired very much.”
And he was weeping as such that of any separated son who has
got his lost and found his father thereby touching his chest.
Upon this Shaikh, Shahabuddin Suherwardi told him that “Son
we were also in the uneasiness due to your separation in this
matter.” Then Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi who consoled
him very much.

studies.[3] Suhrawardi quickly excelled in his studies and
mastered, at an early age, the Shafi'i and Hanbali madhabs.

 Shaykh al-Shayyukh Shahab al-Din Abu Hafs 'Umer Bin
Muhammad al-Bakari Al-Suhrawardi, al-Shafi'i, Mohadith
Baghdadi. He was born in "Suhraward" A town at that time
situated near Zanjan in Iran, Unfortunately today it is
impossible to even identify the site of this ancient town for
certain. His date of birth is most probably at the end of
"Rajab"(7th Islamic month) or the beginning of "Sha'ban"
(8th month) in 539/1145. His lineage starts from Hadrat
Abu Bakr Siddique (the first caliph of Islam). According to
"Munaqib-e-Ghawthia" his parents did not have a child.
Disappointed enough one day his mother took an
opportunity and reached the holy "khanaqah" (Sufi centre)
of Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Gilani al-Hasani popularly known
as Ghawth al-Azam (the founder of "Qadri" Sufi order
D.561/1167), and requested him to pray to God for her to
bear a child. At this the Shaykh made a prediction about a
very special son for her. According to another assumption
Shaykh also suggested the good name of the child as
Shihab al-Din Umer. Shihab al-Din Umer took his early
education at home, Like his uncle Shaykh Dia al-Din Abu al-
Najib Abd al-Qahir Bin Abdullah al-Bakari al-suhrawardi
(D.563/1165), in his Child hood he traveled to Baghdad for
studies. There he had an apportunity to study The Quran
(The holy book of Islam), Hadith (sayings of Prophet), Fiqh
(juridco-canonical system of Islam) and other on going
subjects which were essential at that time, from famous,
authentic, skillful and centrally figured teachers of that
age, including his uncle. After the completion of his
studies, he then came under his uncle's supervision for
spiritual knowledge and the development of his inner-self.
He also had Shaykh Abd al- Qadir al-Gilani as his spiritual
benefactor, and he wore the khirqah-e-khilafat (khirqa:a
dervish's patched garment, symbol of his vows of
obidience to the rule of his order, khilafa: vicarship) in
Qadria, from shaykh Abd'al-Qadir al-Jilani in 560/1162. On
the other hand According to "Qala 'd al-Jawahir" "He is
one who has been approached by the Great Shaykh Jilani
himself who said 'O, Omar! you will be well renowned in
the later saints of Iraq.' Apart from these two great sufis
he also benefacted from many other "Musha'ikhs" (Sufis)
of that certain age. For many days he spent his time with
"Abdals" (a categary of saints) in the island of 'Abbadan'
(Persian Gulf). He also had the opportunity to acompany"
Khidr". (a Prophet or saint immortalized by the fountain of
life). He performed the "Hajj" (pilgrimage) on a number of
occasions. And in 628/1231 he performed his last "Hajj",
while in Mecca (the holy place of Muslims, situated in
Saudi Arabia, where they perform Hajj) he met the great
Egyptian poet and Sufi " Shaykh Abu Hafs Umar bin ali
known as Ibn al-Farid.D.632/1235. On that occasion the
two sons of Ibn al-Farid "Shaykh Kamal al-Din Muhammad
& Shaykh Abd al-Rehman", with the permission of their
father, took "Bay'a" (oath of allegiance) and wore "Khirqa"
(patched frock, sign of a dervish) from Shaykh al-Shayyukh.
After the sad demise of his uncle in 563/1165, he became
his successor in his uncle's "khanaqah"(Sufi center). He
established three more "Ribats"(religous hostel) (1) Ribat-
e-Nasri, (2) Ribat-e-Bistami, (3) Ribat-e-Mamoonia, for the
students. His Bounty spread all over the world, due to his
wide spread popularity, people across the globe came to
benefit from his kind-self. A good story is told of the
practical wisdom which lay underneath his spirituality
light, a Sufi wrote to him, "I gave up working, I find my self
inclined to a life of idleness, where as if I work I am
overcome with pride: which had I better do? "He replied
briefly and to the point " work and ask God's forgiveness
for your pride". He spent most of his life in Baghdad were
he enjoyed the favour of then caliph al-nasir: He was
appointed "Shayakh al-Shayyukh" (master of masters) by
the caliph. There he received visitors & letters from all
parts of the Muslim world. On many occasions he became
the ambassador of peace between Muslim emperors. He
was respected evenly throughout the Muslim world by
each and everyone. Ibn-e-Khalikan [608-681H.D.] (The
Historian of the time of Shaykh Suharawardi) wrote "In his
last age no body was able to compete with him". Every day
millions presented "Nazranas" (a gift by the wealthy
people to their spiritual master) which was distributed
among the poor and needy in the evening. He led an
absolutely simple life, although millions came into his
hand. Even when he died, there were no sufficient funds
for his funeral. He had love and affection for Sufis of other
"Tariqahs" (Sufi orders) and was well respected by those
Sufis as well, like Hadrat Mu'in al-Din Hasan Sijzi Chishti
[D.633/1235] (the founder of Chishti Sufi order in the
subcontinent), Shaykh Abu al-Janab Najm al-Din Ahmed
Bin Omar al-Kubra entitled as Shaykh-e-Wali Trash
(D.618/1221)[the founder of kubraviyyah, Firdawsiyyah
Sufi order], Shaykh Baha al-Din Walad [D.628/1231.(Father
of famous Persian Sufi poet Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi)
and many others. Hadrat Farid al-Din Masood Gunj-e-
kkar[D.664/1265] (famous Chishti Sufi of the
subcontinent). traveled to Baghdad for Shaykh al-
Suhrawardi and lived many days in his khanaqah, and
gained sacred fortunes through his personality. Imam Yafi'i
(D.678/1367) has written in his book that Ibn 'Arabi
(D.638/1240) accidentally met with Shaykh al-Suharwardi,
they had eye contact with each other and separated with
out uttering a single word. Later somebody enquired
about Skaykh Suhrawardi from Ibn 'Arabi, answering he
said "he (Shaykh Surawardi) is a person who, from top to
toe is filled with SUNNA (traditions, customs) of the Holy
Prophet". And, when Shaykh Suhrawardi was asked about
his opinion of Ibn 'Arabi, he replied, " He is an ocean of
realities". In "Risala Iqbaia" it is stated that people asked
Shaykh Sa'd al-Din Hamuya (D.650/1252), how he
describes Ibn 'Arabi in his words, at this his answer was
that " He can be compared with a stormy ocean with
who's area is infinite". Then again was asked about Shaykh
Suhrawardi, he replied, "The noor (light) of Prophets
Following on his forehead is in such a manner which is
quite a different thing". Due to his motivation many great
mystics merged on the scene. Sufi's from all over the world
flocked to his Khanaqah to obtain initiation from him. He
sent his vicegerents to all parts of the world.In "Akhbar al-
Akhiyar-Fi-Asrar al-Ibrar" it happened to be Shaykh
Suhrawardi's statement that 'In the subcontinent I have
many vicegerents'. According to my latest research he sent
approximately 20 vicegerents in the subcontinent. Some of
his renowned vicegerents in the Subcontinent are "Sheykh
al-Islam Sayyid Nur al-Din Mubarak bin Abd 'Allah bin Sharf
al-Hussaini al-Ghaznavi, entitled as Mir-e-Dehli
(D.632/1234) who was shaykh al-Islam of Dehli in the

sent his vicegerents in other parts of the world. Few of his
vicegerents are: The famous persian poet Shaykh
Muslihuddin Sa'di of Shiraz (D.691/1292) (sheraz-Iran),
Shaykh Najib al-Din Ali Bin Buzghush Sherazi (D.678/1279)

books, famous Persian Poet Shams al-Din Muhammad
Hafiz of Sheraz(D.791-92/1389) (if this date of death is
correct then it is not possible) and Shaykh Ahmed Al-alvi
Al-Yassvi (D.562/1166)(founder of Yasviyya Sufi order) are
also the vicegerents of Shaykh Suhrawardi. Till now
through latest research only the names of his three sons
have been discovered. One of them is Shaykh Zain al-Din,
second is shaykh Imad al-Din Mohammad (D.655/1257),
he became his successor after him, he was his companion
in his last pilgrimage in 628/1231 and third is Shaykh jamal
al-Din. He wrote several books on different topics in his
life. The famous German Orientalist Brockelmann in his
book "Geschichte der arabischen literature" tells us about
the 21 books written by the Shaykh. One of them is
"Awa'rif al-Ma'arif" (Bounties of divine knowledge) which
for centuries has been very popular amongst the Sufi's.
And taught it to their disciples. It was written in Mecca,
Shaykh narrates that whenever he faced any difficulty in
writing, he turned towards Allah, had "Tawaf"
(circumambulation around the Ka'ba) of the "Bait Ullah".
The book is written in Arabic, and in every period it was
translated in different languages. Famous Suharawardi Sufi
Shaykh Sayyid Jalal al-Din Hussain bin Ahmad Kabir known
as Makhdum-i-Jahaniyan Jahan gusht (D.785/1384) spoke
many times about this book "if somebody does not have a
"Murshid" (Spiritual Master) and if he reads this book
"Awa'rif al-Ma'arif" carefully and abides by it, he will
become a perfect Sufi." According to some books, in his
last age he became blind and he passed away in 1st
Muharam 632/1234 in Baghdad.The Imam of his Janaza
prayer was Hadrat ohd al-Din Hamid bin abu al-Fakher
kimani(D.635/1238), and he gave him last Ghussal (bath),
clothed him "Ka'fan (shroud)" also according to some
books Hadrat kirmani also benificted from Hadrat
suhrawardi and vicegerent of Hadrat suhrawardi in
suhrawardi sufi order. He is burried in the grave yard of
"Vardia". His shrine is situated near Bab-e-Wustani. This
tomb is one of the oldest in Vardia and is surrounded by
graves. In 1273/1856 Ismael Pasha, Governer of Shehroze
modernized the tomb and decorated it. In 1320/1902
some parts of the tomb which were damaged were
renovated. On his grave there stands a tomb build by the
"Salguuk" style of construction. Note: It is to be noted that
there are two different personalities by the names of
Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi. One of them is he who is
described above and is the founder of the "Surawardi Sufi
Taraqah" and the other one named Shaykh Shihab al-Din
Abu 'al-Futuh Ahmad (Or Yahya) Ibn Habaish (or Ya'ish) Ibn
Amirak called al-Maqtul (D, 578/1191). Also called Shaykh
Al-Ishraq. He was one of the greatest master and
presenter of the philosophy of "Illumination".

The verse Fateha (The opening)

It is difficult Your praise and it is hidden Your virtues in all

You are visible there in all and You are there in everything
For every particle, you are created from the beginning to end
You are Sustainer of all not in this world and another world
You are Lord of the worlds and you are forgiver of the worlds
You are kind to all and Your kind favor is there for all persons
Those who are pious then You are merciful to such persons
Your special favour and kindness is there for all of them
You are the owner everyone settles deeds on judgment day
In your hands is a penalty and a prize and you are the owner
All our worship is for Your sake, oh Lord of the two worlds
All slaves belong to you from the origin, if he is big or small
For all our needs you are must and Your personality is kind
You give all one who calls you as You are a kind helper to all
Guide us such right path now, on which path who went away
With Your graces and all passed away on such path indeed
But there will be no such way never, which is ignored by You
So who lost and misguided on such way due to your anger
This is the prayer of your slave and the request of your lowest
Accept the prayer of Hafeez as you are owner of two worlds

Tadhkiratal-Auliya’ by Farid-AL-Din Attar

Introduction

Farid Al-din Attar is considered one of the preeminent mystical poets of the
Persian literary tradition. The duration of his life is uncertain, though he can be
placed in the 12th and 13th centuries C.E. born in Nishapur in what is today Iran.
Attar apparently was a pharmacist but little information about his personal life
is  known. During his lifetime he is believed to have written approximately 9
books, including such famous works as The Manteq Al-Tayr (The Conference of
the Birds)   and The Ilahi-Nama (The book of God) Tadhkiratal-Auliya (Muslim
Saints and Mystics) is considered world famous classical book of Persian literature
which printed and re-Printed in many countries.

            An abridgment, translated by A.J. Arberry, of Attar's only known prose

work Tadhkirat Al-Auliya (The Memorial of the Saints) which he worked
on throughout much of his life and which was available publicly before his death.
Arberry's translation is an abridgment. The entry on Owaise of Qarani translated by
me which was omitted in Arberry's text is added to the above web site. In
Tadhkiratal-Auliya Sheikh Farid-Al-Din Attar wrote many chapters and in those
chapters, there is full information and details of the titles are available. His style of
writing is most interesting and for this reason, the readers will remember the
chapters from the above great book for a longer time.
Due to many great chapters, this book is very famous in   the world and its
translations are available in many languages of the world. Mr. David Rosenbaum’s

My three poems
 
 
Please find my three poems which are as follows and these are well known and
famous since my college days and which were already published in the A.U.
College Magazine of Hyderabad and now I have added these poems in this book.

1.The Taj Mahal

 
 
In the darkness of night
 I visited the tomb of white
 Full beautiful in the glorious moonlight
 Shah Jahan’s love and Mumtaz’s beauty
 Making fun of today’s love and poverty
 No-one leaves without feelings of beauty
 After seeing the Taj Mahal’s majesty
 The Taj was reminding me of the duty of love
 And showing the king’s power of love
 Even today in the darkness of strife
 The Taj is preaching a lesson of love and life.
 By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
 -------------------------------------------------------
2. In Thy memory
 
 
Her death day came with the fragrance of the memories
 Which shaken the depth of our the saddest memories
 Even the seasonal changes and otherworldly affairs
 Could not diminish away her saddest loving memories
 Due to the saddest grief, our souls are broken
 We are worldly losers and our hearts are broken
 Oh: her saddest old memories you must not die
 Guide us to cover the deliverances of the world
 Oh: the heavenly Lord takes Thou care of this soul
 Who never faced any worldly peace and pleasure.
 By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
 ------------------------------------------------------
 

3.The Dim flame

 
 
When the flame of her life was going to dim
 No one of us not there to say goodbye
 It is how painful for our whole lives
 That we cannot see her at death time
 Death is sure for every human beings
 But how her strange death was true?
 Her loving relatives were far from her
 And they cannot reach for the last visit
 We should believe in the heavenly Lord
 Who made our vast and great human land
 Sure, she has gained a position in the grave land
 So, We should not worry Allah is great and known.
 By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
 ======================================
  
  
 
The author wept very much at the Kazipet graveyard
 
  The author upon his return from his service of the foreign country visited
Kazipet after a gap of many years the grave of his grandfather and grandmother at
Kazipet recently in the month of May 2014.
  When he visited the grave of his grandfather, which is under a big Neem tree
and its shed is spread over large areas of the graveyard and my grandmother’s
grave is situated beside the grave of my grandfather. Both graves are well
maintained so they are available in good condition.
 As both graves are under the big old Neem tree so there is too much shade, as
well as so much cold and peaceful atmosphere and comfort, is available there. So
an atmosphere of peace and comfort is   available there too much due to the
coolness of the branches of Neem tree which is prevailing in the graveyard. For
this reason, an atmosphere of coolness and peace condition is there   and due to this
reason, there will be thinking arise in the mind of the author that both of them
living in a peaceful condition.
       However, the author wept too much there because his grandfather who was
administrator of the shrine of Kazipet for many years and his grandmother who
lived in Kazipet village for many years and she did many endeavors there and she
helped many needy women and children there so now both of them are buried in
the graveyard of Kazipet shrine and nobody is not there in the village to visit them
from their lineage but many unknown visitors are visiting their graves there and the
author have personally seen many flowers on the graves which were placed by
those unknown persons.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The connection of the author’s family members with Kazipet

 When my granddad Sheikh Dadan reached Kazipet on his transfer from another
place and he was attracted by the teachings of Sufi Center at Kazipet during the
period of Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani Radi Allahu Anhu the successor and
son of great Sufi master Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal Biabani Radi Allahu Anhu. When
my granddad became his disciple and he left immediately the following things.
 1 .He left his superior job in the police department. 2. He left his native place
of Medak. 3. He left his big house in Medak.
 Due to the kindness and favour of Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam Biabani Radi
Allahu Anhu my granddad had got the job of estate administrator of Dargah Sharif
and a plot of land of 1000 yards from the center of Kazipet village. On this plot,
my granddad had constructed a big house (Gulshan Manzil) on 500 yards and one
big garden on 500 yards.

  I enjoy doing the translation of Sufi works and my translated first episode is
available with the following publication note of Mr. David Rosenbaum of the New
York Times which is available on the above mentioned famous U.S.A. website.
    At Kazipet Jagir my dad, Mohammed Afzal and my brother Mohammed Abdus
Samad and Me Mohammed Abdul Hafeez and my sister Meher Unisa were born
there. In Qazipet my father married to Akthar Begum, daughter of Mr. Abdul
Majeed of 
  Bidar district who was working at that time in the education department as an
education officer. After many years of service at Qazipet Dargah Sharif (shrine)
with great fame and good name, my granddad passed away and upon his death, our
big house was deserted as all members of our family migrated to Hyderabad and
some other places, but my grand mom stayed in the big lonely house with her
maidservant as she never thinks to leave the place of his great Sufi master. Upon
living many years there she had been shifted to Hyderabad when she became ill
due to the fracture of her foot, but due to her great love for the great Sufi Center at
Kazipet upon her death, we had taken her dead body to Kazipet from Hyderabad
and she was buried at the backside of the tomb of her Murshid (spiritual master)
Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani. (R. A.) 
      During 1986 I had tried my best to re-settle my family members from
Hyderabad to Kazipet Jagir but I was not successful in this matter as my son's
(Mohammed Abdul Wasi Rabbani) application for admission in St. Gabriel school
Fatima Nagar was not accepted there due to late submission. We are staying in
Hyderabad with our family members, but we never miss any chance to visit the
holy shrine of Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal Biabani R. A. And Hazrat Syed Shah
Sarwar Biabani R.A. At Kazipet Jagir on regular basis.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
An event of the theft during the service of a period of my grandfather at
Kazipet shrine
 
     During the period of Syed Shah Ghulam Afzal Biyabani, this event was
happening. At that time there was a grant of Rupees fifty towards the salaries of
the staff of Noban Khana (the place from where time is announced by the beat of
the drum) in which there were some staff members used to work there and it was
headed by the supervisor. By the government of H.E.H.The Nizam of Hyderabad,
there was every month the royal grant which was used to reach the custodian of the
Qazipet shrine through the supervisor from the government treasury. From there it
will reach the administrator of the estate and who will be used to distribute the
amount of salaries to all concerned staff.
     As per reference by Tufazal Hussain advocate that one month the supervisor of
Nobat Khana who was obtained the amount of Rupees fifty towards the salaries
from the Royal treasury office and he was fled to Hyderabad. But in the shrine
building, the staff members were waiting for him to receive their salaries from him
and but at last, they were able to know that the supervisor was fled from Qazipet
and he was reached to Hyderabad.
       At that time the custodian of the shrine of Kazipet was in Hyderabad. So the
estate administrator Sheikh Dadan, who was grandfather of the translator of this
book was informed the details of this case to Tufazal Hussain advocate and this
event was mentioned by Syed Khaja Sadat Hussain Biyabani in his Urdu book
‘Lemat Biyabani’ (This book was already translated by me with the title
of Biography of Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam Afzal Biabani and has been posted by
in the paperback and electronic book formats on amazon.com) and he was
mentioned the details of this event on the pages 110-111 of his book and he was
requested to take action against the supervisor of the police department. In his
reply, Tufazal Hussain advocate wrote him that as the custodian of the shrine is
present in Hyderabad and if we start action against him, so due to kindness if the
culprit will be forgiven by him then it will be not proper in this matter to initiate
the case against him. So it is better to take the approval of the action from the
custodian of the shrine first so that it is proper to take further action in this matter. 
     It was learned by me that the estate administrator Sheikh Dadan was sent the
letters by post to Hyderabad for the kind perusal of the shrine custodian there. 
 The estate administrator Sheikh Dadan who is the grandfather of this translator
and whose memory this event was specially translated from the following book for
the information of the readers of the International Internet Libraries in the U.S.A.
especially for the readers of these two websites as
follows. www.calmeo.com and www.scribd.com 
     Upon this, it has happened that supervisor of Nobat Khana after spending of the
amount was reached to see the custodian and he told him all details in this matter
and he requested him to forgive his mistake and he made loud and cry in this
matter and he requested him to allow him to join back in his post.
 It was learned later that the custodian of the shrine was kept the supervisor at
his residence in Hyderabad for a period of three days. During that period the letters
of the Estate Administrator and the advocate was reaching for him. Upon this, he
was given the travel expenses from Hyderabad to Kazipet to the supervisor of the
Nobat Khana and was sent him from Hyderabad to Kazipet and he was given the
instruction to the estate administrator which is as follows.
 “ That the supervisor was presented in his service and he ashamed of his bad deed
so he was forgiven his mistake in this matter. So you also forgive him and allow
him to join on his duty. Otherwise, he is a poor person having small children with
him so they will become economically poor and will be destroyed in this matter.
Arrange the salary of Nobat Khana staff members from another fund.”
 So after some days, the supervisor was coming back to Qazipet from Hyderabad
and he was allowed to join in his post as per order the custodian of the shrine of
Kazipet and the staff members of the Nobat Khana was paid their salaries from the
other fund by the administrator of the estate. (Reference from my translated

Dear Mr. Hafeez Sahib
Wa Alaykum Assalaam,

Jazakallah for your sincere time and efforts it is an impressive contribution Indeed,
it is a nice English Translation and will help us to share with English speaking
people. There are certain places need to be updated in your translation. May Allah
SWT bless you with the spiritual support of Hadrat Syed Jalaluddin Jamalul Bahar
Mashooq Rabbani.
I believe we should enhance the compilation done by Hazrath Syed Aulia
Quadri RA around some 55 years ago-- there are other historical books (should be
available in A.P. Archaeology and State Central Library and other libraries. I know
some books such as Mishkat un Nubuwwah by Hazarath Syed Ghulam Ali Shah
R.A., Mahboob-Zil-Menon - Tadkiray Aulia Deccan page 248 and Tawariqul
Auliya second part page 528.
Insha Allah, Ali pasha will gather the information on Hadrat Mashooq Allah R.A
from the above-mentioned books and from other sources and we will print a
revised edition soon.
Once again, thank you and our heartfelt appreciation for your translation work.

Wassalam.

Kind Regards,

After your demise, was a loss and damage in the house
 Her name   Akhter, she was a star of the luck in her life
 
 Her life journey was   ended in 6 days in the hospital 
 Left on us an impression which cannot be removed 
 
 Oh God, you have been given a position in the   world 
Kindly bestow   the mercy on her final resting place

Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani upon obtaining permission from his dear uncle
then he was going on his journey of travel and tourism toward Khorasan to finish

Khorasan for a period of 7 years and approximately he has obtained knowledge

Abdul Rahman that as per biography and well manners of Shaikh of Islam Hazrat
Bahauddin Zakaria Multani so, for this reason, people of Bukhara began calling
him as the angel (Farishta).
  The title of the angel for the young student which was like a certificate of the
angel. Because the people of the Bukhara due to the excellence of the knowledge
were incomparable during that time. As in Bukhara at that time there were living
there learned persons and holy persons. So for this reason, calling with the title of
the angel to an unknown person which is an act of great surprise and as well as
astonishing

asked with him to tell about his any endeavor.Then he has said that “It is not good
and proper for this Fakir to tell about his endeavours and mystical exercise in this
matter. Because of it, there will create pride in this matter. But for you, it is
sufficient to know you that this Fakir who depended upon one glass of the water
and 50 gram quantity of the food for a period of 20 years of the endeavours and
mystical exercise. This is a primary endeavor, but as there are such holy persons of
Allah are there who have kept thirsty and without food to their souls for a period of
70 years. But they have remained in the axis of the worship of Allah.
     The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who has said that “He
has done all such kindness and mystical exercise for the sake of the, willingness of
the owner of Kaba. Till such in the holy land on the mountain of Arafat, he has met

much favour in this matter from him. After that, I wear the new dress of the
pilgrimage robe and proceeded to Madina. And I have reached Madina and present
on the holy mausoleum of the last prophet of Allah and I have there for a period of
five years in Madina. Due to a help of the dust of the foot of the holy prophet I

was Hazrat Moulana Kamaluddin Yemeni who was there and who was generous
Muhadith (scholar of Tradition) of his time. I have taken lessons from him in the
holy grand mosque of Madina. When I have completed the course of the Hadith
(tradition) with him, then he was given me a certificate in this matter.”
  The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who has said “During
the course of the teaching whenever there will be the season of the Hajj pilgrimage
then he used to go on the Hajj pilgrimage along with Moulana Yahiah. And upon
performing of the Hajj pilgrimage I used to join again in the teaching of the hadith
with Hazrat Moulana Kamaluddnn Yemeni.”
   The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who stayed in Madina
on the right side of the room and in dome of the prophet of Allah in a special place
and that place was becoming well known and famous by his name for this reason.
When Abdul Rahman Jami when he was traveled to Madina then during his stay he
has stayed in that place and Abdul Rahman Jami who said as follows.
   “ I have gotten very much strange spiritual pleasure upon sitting at that place.
And I also have obtained very much favour there.” 
Arrival in Jerusalem: Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani upon
completion of the teaching course of Hadith in Madina then he was going to
Jerusalem for his visit. And where he was staying there some period of time. And
he was got benediction of the visiting of the graves of all holy prophets
in Jerusalem. Afterwards, he was left there and he went to visit Damascus.
Uneasiness in the temperament: Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria
Multani when he has reached in Damascus, then there was found uneasiness in his
temperament and then he began living always in the condition of anxiety. And in
this condition, he has prayed Allah with as follows.
“ Oh, owner of universe oh giver of the shelter. You have given so much to your
slave Bahudddin so, for this reason, his edge of the shirt was becoming tight in this
matter and so there was over thirstiness of the wisdom. But there is such thirstiness
of the heart and soul which was rigorous, so now finish it by your merciful rain.
And your personality is independent with the salvation and favour, and your
empower on its every angle. 

10. The dangerous python

 
  Outside of the Damascus City, there was living one dangerous python in some
cave there. And the python who kills using to kill all the persons who pass from
there. The local persons who have tried their best to kill the python, but were not
successful every time in this matter. Due to the helpless condition the persons left
to pass by that way for this reason. If there will pass a new person or traveler from
that way, then that dangerous python who used to kill that person for this reason.
The python used to live in the cave in the silent condition, but when he will hear
the sound of the steps of coming to any person there, then in that condition the
python will come outside at the fast speed. And will caught and swallow that
person and kill in this way in the seconds very soon. The local person has tried
their best to close down the cave, but due to the interruption of the python which
made it impossible. So for the local persons were face failure in their endeavours.
 During the journey when Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani was
passing on that way in Damascus and he was proceeding toward that place of the
dangerous python. And as per practice the python who was there and who waiting
for his hunting there. Upon hearing the sound of the steps of his hunting the python
who came outside of the cave very fast and was attacked on the Shaikh of Islam
Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani and so, for this reason, he was looking at the
python and was putting his coverlet on the python and he  left from there and he
has proceeded ahead on his way in the peaceful condition. And he did not see
backside by turning what was happening to the python in this matter. After some
time the persons passing from long distances have seen that there were available
coverlet and the dangerous python was lying in the dead condition there.
   The persons who went near the dead python by fearing and they could not find
any movement in the body of the python. And it was found the dead condition in
python. So, for this reason, the news spread in the suburbs and in the city of
Damascus. So for these reasons the people thanked Allah in this matter. A large
number of the people who were gathered nearer the cave of the python there. Now
it was created suspense among the people that the coverlet belongs to which holy
person. And due to such reason, the python went into the mouth of death. At last
after many hard endeavours and search its secret was known that coverlet belongs
to the Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani and due to this reason
his fame and name which was spread all sides in Damascus and for this reason
many thousand people visited him in the large crowds around his place of the
residence. And in that place, he stayed there for a long time.                     
  

 
         11. In the service of the Shaikhs
 
   The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani during his whole journey
in his travel and tourism he  continued his search for the perfect spiritual master.
But he could not find the jewel of which he was searching in this matter .In the city
of Damascus, he has lived for a period of five years, but he did not get finished his
thirstiness in this matter. At that time in Damascus, there were living the genius
learned persons and he was getting  favour from all of them, but he did not find the
pearl which he was searching in this respect. When ever he will ,visit any shrine
building, then at that time there will be heard the sound in this matter that still your
destination is far away.
   As the writer of the fates who like the fate of the general persons who has also
written about the fate of the students of the mystic way as well as holy persons as
per his wisdom and who has written on the first day and as per it there will get at
one time and at one place the jewel of the destination as per required in the
persons. And for this to get aim in this matter, there are required
real endeavours and perfect spiritual and which is must and necessarily. And as per
this rule and regulation, he has done endeavours and visited each and every shrine
building of the perfect person.But as the time and place which has not come there
for him to get the jewel and so for this reason he was becoming a failure in this
matter. The demand and endeavours which were increasing like rays of the sun,
which were damaging the heart as well as it was increasing more and more at each
movement continuously.
Departure to Samarkhand: The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria
Multani who was in the condition engrossment he has gone to Samarkand from
Damascus. When he  reached in Samarkand, then he was able to know that there is
one holy person who is there who is a person of perfection. So, for this reason, he
went into his service to visit him there, and that holy person who was engaged
with  the condition of absorption and engrossment there. 
   The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who went into his
service for many days and said Salam to him, but he could not reply of his Salam
from other, side and that holy person who was still in the condition of the
engrossment and so for this reason he did not able to see who come there and why
he did come there.? Even the condition of the situation which was hopeless and
discourageous but he did not disappoint in this matter. And he was continuing to
go into service and he did not leave his edge of the shirt of the patience. And in this
way a period of the two years were passed away and that holy person who has
come back into his normal condition. The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin
Zakaria Multani was waiting this time, so for this reason, he went toward him with
eagerness and was able to get benediction of the kissing of his hand. That holy
person who has looked anxiety on him and he was smiling and said as follows.
“ Bahauddin welcome to your arrival. And you have waited a long period of time.
And you have suffered a lot of difficulties in this way. But remember that by
service of the holy persons there will be available wishes and desires of both
worlds. Oh, Baha Uddin this Fakir who is in the condition of the engrossment of
the sea of the lights for 30 years and he is unaware of the persons coming and
going here for this reason. Today there is the order of the friend to talk with you
and to inform my condition to you in this matter. Oh: dear, for the darwesh there is
no such danger of the company of mankind to him because as such he will be
nearer of mankind, then he will be away from Allah for such extent in this matter.”
The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani told him that “For his
meeting, if his life period will end, then, for this reason, there will be no regret for
him.”
   The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani thought that if there will
be a fall condition of absorption again in that holy person. So, for this reason, he
will be kept away from hearing the conversation of that holy person and for this,
his eagerness was increasing so much in this matter. But for the sake of respect
Shaikh of time who was silent. After a period of a long time, that holy person who
breaks the silence and who has given him his prayer mat and gold coins full of one
fist to him and he told him as follows.
“ This is your journey expenses and you have to cover a long journey and it is
enough so now you are  leaving from here.”
   The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who has collected that
benediction with much fondness and affection and he wants to ask with him that
where is his destination than by this time that holy person who was vanished away
from there from his look at that time immediately. So for this reason he was
surprised in this matter, then he began looking for some time for golden coins and
for some time the prayer mat as well as he was looking the place of the holy person
where some time ago one love-sick personality who was sitting there. So, for this
reason, he was taking a deep sigh and he said as follows.
 
“Still I could not see the face of the flower as per my wish of the heart and then
ended spring season in this matter .”
   For this arrival of the spring and for the luster of the flower and for its waiting
he was thereby spending his two years of age. But that flower who was showing 
his splendour for some time and left from the look like breeze Nassim's gust and its
rustle which was given the good news of the life increasing for the search of the
reality and was advised him to go far away from there and so for this reason he was
much shocked in this matter and which was increased his much uneasiness for this
reason in this matter.
Arrival in Baghdad: So as per the order of that lover of the Allah Shaikh of Islam
Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria Multani who has increased his endeavours for the
search of a spiritual master in this matter. During this period he was visiting many
of the cities in the search of the perfect spiritual master and after covering  the long
journey for many years, then he was reached in Baghdad City for this reason and
Baghdad is such city in which there lived in every period of time some perfect holy
person there. So for the reason, the searchers of the reality who will reach
Baghdad upon long journey period for this reason to finish thirstiness and they will
get the realization of the reality in this matter. The Shaikh of Islam Hazrat
Bahauddin Zakaria Multani when he put the step of his foot in Baghdad, then at
that time he was smelled the fragrance of his spiritual master. As he was in search
of the spiritual master when he was got smell then, for this reason, his eagerness
which was increased so much in this matter. He has proceeded toward the shrine
building of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi. And Hazrat Shaikh Shahabuddin
Suherwardi who was the founder of the Suherwardia chain a genius holy person of
his time so for this reason many thousand people who used to visit his shrine
building and will able to get their jewels of destination.
Meeting with Shaikh of the Shaikhs: When Hazrat Bahuddin Zakaria Multani
was entered into the shrine building of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi and at
that time he was 48 years old approximately. In short, when the look of the Shaikh
Shahabuddin Zikeria Multani Suherwardi which falls upon the face of the Shaikh
Shahabuddin Suherwardi then he was crying suddenly that “ This is your
destination and this is your jewel.”
  When the look of the Hazrat Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi upon him,
then his condition of absorption, which was increased very much then he was
involved in the condition of surprise and happiness for some time then suddenly he
has come back into the normal condition from absorption. So Hazrat Shaikh
Shahabuddin Suherwardi went towards Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi in
eagerness and he has put his head on the knee of the sheet used as a garment for
the lower part of the body of the Shaikh and gets benediction of the kissing of the
hands. And in a sad style, he has recited one couplet in the Persian and its meaning
and interpretation is as follows.
  “I have not become the prisoner of your love today, but it belongs to me since the
first day and which came into my fate.”
  
  When Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi was heard above couplet then he was
standing  and embarrassed him warmly. Then when Hazrat Bahuddin Zakaria
Multani then began weeping and said to him that “Shaikh I am tired very much.”
And he was weeping as such that of any separated son who has got his lost and
found his father thereby touching his chest. Upon this Shaikh, Shahabuddin
Suherwardi told him that “Son we were also in the uneasiness due to your
separation in this matter.” Then Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi who consoled
him very much.

The Mausoleum of Umar Suhrawardi, or the Mosque and the Tomb of the Sheikh

Umar Suhrawardi (Arabic: g‫هروردي‬g‫ر الس‬g‫يخ عم‬g‫ الش‬g‫د‬g‫جامع ومرق‬, romanized: Suhrawardi
Mausoleum), is a historic complex of a mausoleum and a mosque, located
in Baghdad, Iraq. The complex dates back to the Abbasid era and is dedicated
to Shahab al-Din Abu Hafs Umar Suhrawardi, the founder of Suhrawardiyya Sufi
Order. The mosque is located between the Sheikh Umar Street and Bab al-Wastani
of the Baghdad wall, in the southern part of Al-Rusafa. The mosque can be
overlooked from the Muhammad al-Qasim Highway and approximately one
kilometer (zero point six two miles) away from the city center.

Construction
The construction of the mosque dates back to the 12th century, and the mosque
was named after Umar Suhrawardi who was buried in the nearby cemetery. The
mosque was renovated by the Ismail Pasha in 1902 and in 1926. Another
renovation was conducted in 1964 by the ministry of endowment .In 2010, it was
reported that the conical tower is in danger of collapsing.

Facilities
Inside the mosque, there is a musholla of approximately 600 square metres
(6,500 square feet) and a marble-coated dome based on the ten pillars in addition to
the thick wall surrounding them. Inside the musholla, there is a door leading to the
tomb of Umar Suhrawardi, which is situated next to the shrine claimed to be that of
the 34th Abbasid Caliph Al-Musta'sim (although it is contested, as there is another
mosque claimed to be the shrine of Al-Musta'sim in Adhamiyah). The tomb
chamber is a small room and the grave of Umar Suhrawardi is covered with a
wooden Zarih. In a separate room, one of Umar Suhrawardi's students is buried.
On top of the shrine, there is a unique conical dome built in Seljuq architectural
style. Inside the mosque, there is a musholla for summer time surrounding the old
cemetery, and a place for five daily prayers which can accommodate up to 400
worshipers.
 Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who was Shaikh of the Shaikhs, sea of the
Islamic law and mystic way. And he was among a genius holy person of his time.
And he was the knower of the Islamic law, mystic way as well as he was an
incomparable holy person of his time. His name was Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar
Suherwardi and he was well known and famous with the title of Shaikh of
Shaikhs.  
He was a pledge on the hands of Hazrat Abu Najib and passed all stages of the
mystic way and was obtained the caliphate from him.  The Shaikh of Shaikhs
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who was the founder of the chain of the
Suherwardia in India and  the specialty of this chain is that there is no leaving of
the world. The Fakir of Suherwardi chain who live in the world and manifest his
love. The rules of this chain are as follows.
   To eat well and wear a good dress and earn wealth. Do all such things but do not
forget Allah. Keep away the edge of the shirt from the sins. So, for this reason, all
holy persons from Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi till this time all holy
persons of the Suherwardia chain who were wealthy people except some holy
persons in this matter and all they were looking the devotion due to their good
manners and behaviours.
 
13.The favours of the Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Quader
 
  One caliph of Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi, Shaikh
Najamuddin who has said that “One day he has seen during his Chilla
(Chilla (Persian: ‫چله‬, Arabic: ‫أربعين‬, both literally "forty") is a spiritual practice of
penance and solitude in Sufism known mostly in Indian and Persian traditions. ...
The word chilla is derived from the Persian word chehel "forty". Chilla is
commonly performed in a solitary cell called a chilla-khana)period that Shaikh of
Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who is standing on the highest mountain
and there was the gathering of a large crowd which was there and he was
distributing the jewels full of his fists to the people there and the people who are
begging from him were have been finished but the jewels of the Shaikh of Shaikhs
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi did not finish away with him.”
  So, for this reason, I went to see Shaikh Shahabuddin Suherwardi and have told
him all the stories in this matter. Then he has says as follows.“ This is all favour of
the Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani.”
Generosity: The condition of the Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar
Suherwardi’s generosity was such that whatever which will be received by him
which he will be allowed to be looted. So once there was happen that his son
Hazrat Shaikh Alauddin who was died, then at that time he was given the keys of
the treasury to the servant and he has asked him to bring some amount to meet
expenses of the burial. When the servant went there and found only six dinars in
the treasury and all amount which was there in the treasury which spent away in
the charity and aid.
  In the shrine building of Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi there
used to be cook food from the morning till the evening time. And which will be
distributed among poor and beggar persons. Whatever amounts which will be
received by him from the conquest which will be distributed at the same time and
he will be used to distribute in Sadqa (charity) at the same time. And he will not
keep with him even  an single penni with with. The Shaikh of Shaikhs
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who used to say that Allah has given him all
graces, but he has not given him fondness of the Sama hearing in the meetings.
  The  Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who has left this mortal
world at the age of 90 years. The Shaikh of time being in his older age, he used to
perform Hajj pilgrimage every year. His mausoleum in Baghdad, which is famous
even today for the fulfillment of desires and wishes of the general and special
persons who visit his grave. 
His sayings are as follows: 1. In the manners of the Sufi persons, there is a special
quality which is called simplicity.
2. The servant who has pure love, then he will not follow his soul in this matter.
And in the works of Allah, he will not be without fearing and there is no one’s
reproach.
3. One who will adopt content, then he will find comfort from the people of his
time.
4. One who desires humility from his heart should adopt the company of the holy
persons and give respect to them.
 5. The sustenance of the person which will be received as per the writing and in its
place.
         
14. The benediction the pledge
 
When Shaikh Ghouse Bahuddin Zikeria Multani was entered into the shrine
building of Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi and when Shaikh of
Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi has seen his uneasiness in this matter so
for this reason he has included him in his circle of devotion and he has awarded
him the saintly dress of the caliphate to him in this matter. Shaikh Ghouse
Bahuddin Zikeria Multani who has spent only 17 days in the service of his spiritual
master Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi and he has obtained
all favours and graces from him and for which there is required of a disciple for
many years worships and endeavours of the mystical exercise as well as self-
denial. Shaikh Ghouse Bahuddin Zikeria Multani said that “ At that time Shaikh of
Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who was wearing the saintly dress on his
body, and which he has removed from his body and he was given to me. Then
he  give him the prayer mat on which he was engaged in the worship in the whole
life period and he has given the saintly dress of Hazrat Ali Ibn Taleb (R.A.)which
was reached to Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi by of the holy
persons in the linage and which he has given me.
                 15. The first trail
   When Shaikh  Ghouse Bahuddin Zikeria Multani was received the saintly dress
from Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi and which was an
unexpected grace in this matter. So, for this reason, such disciples who were in the
service of Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi since a long period
of time so, for this reason, they desire that saintly dress and all other holy
benediction which should be given to them instead of Shaikh Ghouse Bahuddin
Zikeria Multani so that they become superior to others and so they were involved
in greediness in this matter. So they could not say anything in the presence of the
Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi but they were complaining
among themselves in this matter so for this reason they have involved dangerous
sin of the backbiting. The disciples who want to say that they are  in  service of the
Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi since long period of the time
and this Darwish who come there only for 17 days stay period and who was
becoming the owner of the following three things.
1. The treasure of mystic way.2 Saintly dress of caliphate 3.Other benedictions.
Also, that person did not do any mystical exercise or Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar
Suherwardi who has involved him in any trail.
   Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi was able to know the matter of the
disciples by his revelation, so he has called all disciples in the shrine building. And
he was, looked at them with a look of majestic and instead of taking back all of
their qualities he wanted to correct them in this matter. He has asked his servants to
bring some pigeons. When the servant has brought pigeons, then who was given
one pigeon to each disciple including Shaikh Ghouse Bahuddin Zikeria Multani
and he told them that “Go and sacrifice the pigeons in such a place that nobody
could see you there”.
  As per the order of the Shaikh of Shaikh, Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi all
disciples, including Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria Multani left from the room
while taking one pigeon in their hands. 
 Every disciple who has tried his best as per the capacity to find lonely places and
have sacrificed the pigeon as per the order of the spiritual master. They were
having a perfect belief that nobody did see them. Upon sacrificing the pigeons the
disciples came back to the shrine building one by one there.
  In those condition servants of the shrine who were in the condition of surprise and
watching their faces in this matter. And everybody who was looking and searching
for the new disciple and caliph of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi,
Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani and who did not come back there. At
last, after passing some time, Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani who
comes back in the shrine building with the live pigeon in his hand in the service of
Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar.
 For this reason, there was no limit to the happiness of the disciples of Shaikh
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi as for this the Shiekh will be much anger with new
disciples and caliphate Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani as who
disobeyed the order of the Shaikh and come back there without sacrificing the
pigeon. And they were sure that the Shaikh will take back his great caliphate from
him.
 Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani comes back there and said Salam and
sitting there with much respect in the presence of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar
Suherwardi and then Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who has asked with
the disciple whether you have sacrificed pigeons as per my instruction? Then all
disciples who have replied that “Yes, in it there is no doubt that they could not
think to disobey the instruction of our spiritual master in one voice in this matter.”
Then Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi has asked with Shaikh Ghouse Baha
Uddin Zakaria Multani and who asked with him you have come back very late and
did not sacrifice the pigeon in this matter and what is their reason.? Shaikh Ghouse
Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani who has replied in the condition of humility and he
said that “Oh my master there was your order to sacrifice the pigeon in such place
where nobody could see.? So this low and helpless person could not find that
place. So then this low person cannot act as per your instruction.? Then Shaikh
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi told him that “You have reached back in the shrine
building very late.? Then Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani told him
that “ This servant who was searching the lonely place and if this slave will come
back after spending his whole life. Then also his reply will be that in the whole
universe there is no such lonelier place and where ever this low person went then
he was found Allah is present and seen there.
   Then Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who have asked with his other
disciples that “How soon they got the, lonely place to sacrifice the pigeons.”?
   Upon hearing this matter of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who has
seen the necks of all disciples who were put down to shame and regret in this
matter. 
 
           16. The second trial
 
 The Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who has asked all his
disciples to go and cut the grass in the jungle and bring your share to the shrine
building. And it was the second trial of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi
to his disciples so that they should able to know his condition upon them and for
which he has become eligible to become the first caliph and the saintly dress which
was given to him in this matter.
   All his disciples who were known that the aim of the sacrifice of the pigeons
which was their trail. So, for this reason, they were able to know that for bringing
of the grass from the jungle is also their trail in this matter.But they were unable to
know the secret of the Shaikh in this matter.
  As per the instruction of the Shaikh of Shaikhs, Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi
all special disciples and then Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani went to
the jungle to bring the grass from there to the city. After some time all special
disciples and Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani who comes back from
the jungle. And except in the hand of Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria Multani,
there was green grass in the hands of all disciples but there was dry grass in the
hands on Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani.
 
   Then Shaikh of Sheikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi has asked all special
disciples why they have brought their green grass from the jungle so they said that
the green grass which looked so good in the eyes so for this reason, they brought
this green grass from the jungle. Upon hearing this reply from the disciples then
Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi has asked with Shaikh of
Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi “ Baha Uddin why did you have brought
this dry grass from the jungle.” So Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani
who said with humility that “ In the jungle, there is much green grass available
there and where ever went I was finding the green grass in the engagement of the
remembrance of Allah there. So I did not like to disturb in the remembrance of
Allah. As dry grass which was not engaged in the remembrance of Allah so I cut it
and brought in your kind presence for this reason.”
    Upon hearing the conversation of his first caliph Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin
Zakaria Multani then Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi told to all his
disciples that “Now you have understood that why I have given the first caliphate
to Shaikh 
Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani.”
   So for this all special disciples were become regret very much and surprised in
this matter and they were able to know the point that why the first caliphate was
given to Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria Multani and due to regret, their
tongues were dumb to say something in this matter.
  After some period of time Shaikh of Shaikhs, Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi
who disclosed the secret before his special disciples and he said that “It is
compulsory for each and every disciple that he should obey his spiritual master and
keep free from his mind and heart from the dust of the doubts and query in this
matter.You all are like wet wood so, for this reason, there will be no effect of the
fire upon it.So, for this reason, it requires many endeavours to burn it. But Baha
Uddin is like dry wood so for this reason it was burnt down in one blown only. The
fire of the love Allah, which was taken him into its wrap. But keep remembering
that the right which will be reached to the deserved person in this matter.And no
work which is done without the  will and intention of Allah. This is called the
will. Bahuddin who is my first caliphate and who will keep his heart clear, then he
will get benediction and  the blessings of both worlds in this matter. And one who
keeps his heart and mind from the dust of the doubt and greed and which will not
harm anybody but he will play a dangerous game with this world and another
world.
  This is such a matter and which is a warning and advice to his special disciples. In
short, the special disciples upon this warning of the severe condition of shame and
regret requested in the court of Allah with  their repentance for this reason. And
they have cleared ill-will which was covered on their hearts and soul and accepted
by their heart that the look of the spiritual master is tested so for this reason look of
the spiritual master tests and so for its deepness and wideness, there is no reach of
the general disciple in this matter.
 
17. The religion and world
 
  Upon the above trials, Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi has called Shaikh
Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani into his loneliness and he has given him one
cut pomegranate into his hands. And he has said, “Baha Uddin eats it and it is for
you.”
Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani who has taken benediction from his
spiritual master with much devotion and respect. And by chance one seed, which
was falling on the earth and mixed in the dust for this reason. But Shaikh Ghouse
Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani who lifts it immediately and he was, put it into his
mouth. Upon this Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who looked at his
disciple and when Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani has eaten
seed ,then he  told him that “ Baha Uddin, who did you ate the seed which was
falling on the earth.” 
Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani said to him that “ This was your
kind gift, so how he can allow it go waste.” And upon saying there was much
devotion in his saying and there was a clear style of eagerness in it. Upon hearing
his disciple’s saying Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi told him that “ The
seed of a pomegranate which was actually world and I was trying that you may not
involve in the problems of the world so, for this reason, I have dropped that seed
on the earth. But you have eaten the seed as thinking it as the gift of the sheikh in
this matter. Upon hearing the saying of the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi
then Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani was becoming worried in this
matter so, for this reason, there was found indication of worry on his face. Then
Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi was able to know the condition of his
disciple then he was smiling and he said that “ Baha Uddin does not worry if Allah
wills, it will not harm you in any matter now you have control of the world
and hereafter in your hands.” Then Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zakaria Multani
told him with much humility that “All this fruit is due to the prayers of the spiritual
master only otherwise this slave knows his condition in this matter .” 
   Then Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Guherwardi told him that “ I have given you
saintliness of the Multan so you go to Multan and where this is a requirement of
the people for you. You go to Multan and guide mankind toward the right path.
And Allah is The  helper and partner of yours ” Upon hearing this conversation of
the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi there came condition of the sadness on
his face for this reason. Then Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi told him that
“Baha Uddin what is the reason that from your face it seems that you are not
willing to go Multan in this matter.” Then Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria told
that “My master Multan is the place of my ancestors and I have also born there. Is
there any person in the world to whom there will not come remembrance to him
about his native place. But how I will leave the place of my spiritual master.? On
the love of the spiritual master, I will leave all relations of the earth in this matter.
For me dust of earth the foot of the my spiritual master which is better than the
native place.”
  Upon hearing from the tongue of the words and deepness and sadness of the
passion from the Shaikh Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria so for this reason, in this
matter he was, told him that “ Baha Uddin you are a traveler on the journey of the
love and there is no value in the love about nearness and farness in this matter. You
will be in Multan but Baghdad which will be not far from you.” The journey which
was started by Hazrat Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria 28 years ago which was reached
on the destination. For the search of that jewel which he was wandering in the
journey in villages and habitations, which he was obtained by his endeavours. That
young man who  left his native place as unknown person at the age of 20 years
and now that gentleman who was returning back to his native place as a perfect
saintly person. So, for this reason, it is required to see his face in this
matter. But there was also sadness with him for leaving of his spiritual master and
which was very severe.
 

18. The return journey to Multan

 
when Hazrat Ghouse Baha Uddin Zikeria began his journey towards Multan upon
obtaining permission from his spiritual master then his fellow disciple Shaikh
Jalaluddin Tabrizi who was also accompanied within his journey by his permission
in this matter.When he was asked permission by his spiritual master Shaikh
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi in this matter then he has asked him that “At last
why did you want to go India along with Baha Uddin there.” Then he told him that
“Oh master I will found much love of Baha Uddin in my heart.” Shaikh
Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi told him that “If you have the desire then go with
your fondness but your destination is in some other place.”
  After the permission of the spiritual master both of them have started their
journey towards Multan from Baghdad. On the way they have visited Nesharpur,
Khorasan, Samarkand and Bukhara and then they have reached with Multan
City.Then Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who has spent some time in Multan than he
has proceeded to Delhi and he was settled down there.
  In this matter in the books of biographies, it is mentioned that one tradition that
when both of them, bypassing villages and suburbs then they have reached in
Neshapur in the evening time. Sheikh Baha Uddin, who was staying in caravan
Sarai, which was outside of the Neshapur. And at that time Shaikh Jalaluddin
Tabrizi, who went into Neshapur to visit the holy persons there. At that time
Shaikh Farid Uddin Attar who was living there. And who was among genius pious
persons the time. And Hazrat Jalaluddin who has met with him there.
  When Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi has come back to caravan Sarai after meeting
Hazrat Farid Uddin Attar then Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin has asked of him which
holy persons he has visited in Neshapur. And who is, best there.? Then he  told him
that “ He has met many of the holy persons there, but among them, Hazrat Farid
Uddin is best.”
 Sheikh Baha Uddin has asked of him “What discussion which he had with him
there.” Then he has told him that Farid Uddin has asked for him from where he
was coming there.? I have told him that “ I was coming from Baghdad. So he has
asked me in Baghdad, which hoy person is there who is the most worshipful
person, but due to his dignity, I could not reply in this matter.”
 
 Then Sheikh Baha Uddin, who has said to him that “Why did you not said about
Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi.” And then Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi has
told him that”In his heart there was so much dignity in this matter so, for this
reason, I could not say in this matter.” So Sheikh Baha Uddin told Hazrat
Jalaluddin Tabrizi that” The person whose mind is at fault with his spiritual master
so what there will be the expectation from him.” So Hazrat Baha Uddin, who has
taken his baggage and he went to Multan alone. And Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi,
who went to Delhi from there for this reason.
  In the books of biographies, this argument is on a weak basis. Because in it there
while mentioning the tradition wherein added such events in it, by which there will
be shown superiority of one Sufi saint upon another. But as a matter of fact, both
of them were superior as per their individual status and incomparable position in
their time. As there was not considered the spiritual status of Hazrat Sheikh
Jalaluddin as this Shaikh of time who has leftover the Kingdom of Tabriz and he
was adopted the Darweshi and was become disciples by pledging on the hands of
the Shaikh Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi in Baghdad.So how this will be acted
upon by such person who has leftover kingdom the Tabriz and who has
adopted darweshi and by such person who did not inform about the spiritual master
to others.
Arrival in Multan City: Upon the death of Hazrat Shaikh Ahmed Ghouse and
who was the uncle of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin and after that, his uncle’s son
Hazrat Maqdum Abdul Rasheed who began looking after the house and properties
of the Hazrat Sheikh Bahauddin.
 There was the excellence of knowledge and perfection of the Hazrat Maqdum
Abdul Rasheed in and around the Multan and its suburbs very much. So, for this
reason, a large number of people who used to come into his presence and get their
solutions for their problems. Hazrat Maqdum Abdul Rasheed 
who was married to the sister of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin and her name
was Bibi Kamal Khatoon.
  One day some learned persons who came into the presence of the Hazrat Maqdum
Abdul Rasheed and who have asked about their questions with him so for this
reason he has replied to their question in this matter. When the learned persons
went from there, then he came in the shrine building. And by that time there was
overpowering of the sleepiness upon him and in the dream, he was, seen his father
Hazrat Shaikh Ahmed Ghouse. And Shaikh Ahmed Ghouse told him as follows.
“Son, your brother is coming with the graces of the richness of the religion so it is
compulsory for you that you give your sister in his marriage and surrender all
dealings in his hand and then you should visit the grand mosque in Makkah.
   When Hazrat Maqdum Abdul Rasheed was waking up from the dream and he
was much happier upon hearing of the news of his coming back of his brother
Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin. And with much uneasiness, he was wandering here and
there for waiting of his brother Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin.In the books of
biographies it is mentioned that when he has able to know about his arrival by
revelation, then he went outside of the Multan city to welcome him there.So that he
can well come him in a grand style in this matter.
On the grave of his mother: Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani
who entered into Multan by the gate of Dawal and out of the gate of Dewal his
brother Hazrat Maqdum Abdul Rasheed welcomed him there warmly and first he
was going to visit the grave of his mother. Upon thinking of the sadness of the left
of the kind and affectionate personality of his mother, he was becoming very sad
and for this matter, tears were coming into his eyes. And he has prayed the kind
prayer in favour of his mother, which is as follows.
“ May Allah fill her grave with light. And bestow a large number of graces on her
grave. And due to her prayers Bahauddin who has reached to such place of the
status.”
  As per one tradition when Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani was
reached to Multan then at that time, the seekers of reality who came into his
service in large number so for this reason due to the enmity of the learned persons
of the Multan started for his international name and fame in this matter.So for this
reason they have sent a cup of the milk glass in his service and its meaning was
that Multan is full of the learned and saintly guides so, for this reason, there is no
need of you in this place.
 Before Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani there were having some
flowers so he has put one flower in the glass and was sent back it and its meaning
was that like flowers he can adjust in this place. And also our fame and name
which will be overpowered by superior force upon all holy and Darwesh persons of
the Multan City.
Parting of the responsibilities of Hazrat Maqdum Abdul Rasheed : Upon
arrival of some days Hazrat Maqdum Abdul Rasheed, who has married his sister
Rashida Khatoon with Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani and
along with this he has given all keys of the treasury and account details of all
properties and houses for him. And he was doing the act of departing politely and
so he has freed himself from all his responsibilities in this way.  Then Hazrat
Maqdum Abdul Rasheed, who was given the  responsibilities of his family
members to Hazrat  Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and he has left
Multan along with his seven devotees toward the visit of the Grand Mosque in
Makkah in Arabia. 
The place of darwesh and Fakir persons: Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse
Zakaria Multani who built one house like grand palace building near the old fort
area in his ancestral lands which will be like or belong to the ruler or Nawab
persons. He made this palace type house as his place of residence on a permanent
basis. As per the saying of the Darwesh persons in the chain of Suherwardia this
grand house was like, a  palace which was made for the residence of
the Darwesh and Fakir persons. And but he has constructed only rooms for staying
his family members in that grand building. 
Objection and opposition of the darwesh and learned persons: Upon looking of
the richness and pomp and show of the life of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin
Ghouse Zakaria Multani so, for this reason, the Darwesh and learned persons they
began objection
upon looking of the richness and pomp and show of the life of the Hazrat Sheikh
Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani so, for this reason, the Darwesh and learned
persons they began objection and opposition for this high standard life in this
matter by un-intelligent Fakirs of the world and with greediness and self-
indulgence of the learned persons and they began making objection and opposition
about him in this matter that what there is the requirement of the palace type house
for the living of the Darwesh person as well as spending the life of the rich and
wealthy persons. With them, there was thinking that Darwish must live the life of
the using torn clothes on his body and live in the ordinary hut. And he should eat
dry bread in his life. But the life and style of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse
Zakaria Multani which was against it. And who has the style of living of the rich
persons.
 At  the  foot of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani, there will be
living always many millions of gold coins like pebbles and he has got available all
facilities of the, richest persons of the world in this matter. But he has with his
heart and mind of the Darwesh and Fakir persons in his body. And he has not greed
and self-indulgence with him and for him Allah has given him too much wealth
and richness and which he has also spent too much upon the mankind. And in the
holy person his style which was different in this matter. Upon seeing the rich style
of living and pomp and show of the life of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse
Zakaria Multani some of the Darwesh persons due to the feeling of the greediness
and longing they began to say against him and use to declare oppose and make
object openly against his rich and wealthy lifestyle as wrong in this matter.
  Once when he has finished his sermon in the meeting place, then at that time one
Darwish has questioned him in loud sound that “Hazrat what is there that when
there will be treasure, then there will be the snake in this matter.” This proverb
which is well known that the treasure which will be with  a snake and thorn with
the flower. In the wealthy condition, there is no connection between the manifest
and as well as meaning in this matter. Hazrat can you explain in this matter?” 
  Hazrat  Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria who was given reply to this question
as per practice that “ No doubt there is no connection in between  the snake and
treasure as per shapes and face, but as per meaning there is a much deeper
connection with  both of them.” Then Darwish who asked him  a  further
explanation in this matter. Then Hazrat  Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria
without knowing the deepness of the question he has told the answer immediately
that “There is the connection of the meaning in between wealth and snake that
snake is dangerous due to poison and wealth due to its natural habits which put the
men into the killing status for this reason.”
  Then that Darwish, who has said in the full passion that “ It means that you accept
that wealth is like qualities like a snake. And from it is proved that the person who
is accumulating wealth and properties so for this reason he is the nourishment of
the snake for this reason.”
  That Darwish's style of the talking which was not liked by the darwesh persons in
the meeting for this reason. Because in it there was a direct indication about the
personality of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani. At that time
Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani was able to know that why
there was such question by that Darwesh person. Even though there was feeling
with his sadness with him, but he was replied him in a  much happier mode to him
that “ Dear brother one who know the charm of the snake and for this reason, he
will not afraid of the snake in this matter.”
  That Darwesh upon acting his pre-planned act, then he had said to him that
“Shaikh why there is the necessity to nourish such bad insect.? So that there will be
required for removal of the poison and there will be in need of the work of charm.”
All was the conversation of the knowledge of argument and knowledge of 
the conversation which was used at one point but Hazrat  
Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani who has become silent for some time,
so that he can refer the matter with his spiritual master. So that he can satisfy that
Darwish with the meaningful reply to that Darwish person as who was thinking of
himself that he was defeated the Shaikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani in
this matter. Then Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani who has told
the reply which he has got as victory from the side soul of his spiritual master the
Shaikh of Shaikhs Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi that “ Your Darweshi,
(saintliness) which did not have such status of beauty and magnificence in this
matter so that there will be no the catch of the evil eye for you. But
our Darweshi which have such status of beauty and magnificence in this matter and
so there will be the catch of the evil eye if there will be not put a black mole on the
face for this reason.”
  Due to the reply of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani all
people in the meeting who were satisfied, but that Darwesh, who could not satisfy
in this matter and who told in an uncertain style that “ Whatever Shaikh will give
an argument in this matter but it is true but there will be no link in between wealth
and Darweshi system. And it is required that Fakir should not nourish the snake.
So, for this reason, the matter was stopped completely at that time. The name of
that Darwesh person was Shaikh, Hameed Uddin.
 
19. The enmity of Nasiruddin Qabacha
 
There was the flow of the favours and benedictions of invaluable sea of the Hazrat
Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani in Multan and people were coming in
the large number to Multan and who were getting benefit from him. There was
always a gathering of a large number of the people in the shrine building. At that
time Sultan Altamash who the ruler of the Delhi Kingdom and who was the
disciple of Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki. Sultan Altamash who have appointed Nasiruddin
Qabacha as the ruler of Multan and Sindh. When Nasiruddin Qabacha was able to
know fame and name of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani so for
this purpose he was sent his messenger to him and has requested the Shaikh of time
to come into his court, which will be benediction in this matter for him. When he
has heard the message of him ,then unconcerned way of the style he told that “
Fakir due to his engagement could not able to the come in the royal court.”
   Nasiruddin Qabacha who could not like the reply of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha
Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani but as per the demand of the time he has controlled
his emotion in this matter. But he could not be affected by the influence of
inducement of his courtiers in this matter. After some days he was visiting the
shrine building of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani along
with his one courtier. And he has welcomed him warmly and performed the
customs of the hospitality well. Nasiruddin Qabacha who has asked questions upon
Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani which were more difficult and
complicated for his trial 's purpose, but he was given him such replies in such good
style so for this reason, Nasiruddin Qabacha has become question-less for this
reason and he was becoming worried in this matter.
The identification of the holy person: At the time of the visit of Nasiruddin
Qabacha with Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani than one bee
who was coming and sitting on the body of Nasiruddin Qabacha many times. And
he will try for many times to keep away from him, but it will come soon and sit so
fast upon him. Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani who was
watching it continuously in this matter.But he was silent in this matter. And during
this time Nasiruddin Qabacha who was asking him what is the identification of the
holy person,? And Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani who was
smiling and said that “The identification of the holy person is that on his body bee
will not sit.” 
  Upon hearing the reply of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani
then Nasiruddin Qabacha was becoming regret and ashamed very much and left
from there.
   Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya who has said that “On the body and  the dress of the
Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zikeria Multan nobody did not see sitting of
bees in his whole life.”
The enmity of the Nasiruddin Qabacha: Nasiruddin Qabacha who has kept the
saying of the Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani in his mind and
he was waiting for the situation to take revenge on this matter from him.Still he
was waiting for the situation and during this time of the starvation which was
prevailing  in the Multan at that time and in the public kitchen store of Hazrat
Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani there was much quantity of the wheat
which was in stock there. And Nasiruddin Qabacha was found the situation which
as suitable and so for this reason he has requested with him in this matter as
follows “There should be given some wheat to the government on loan basis which
will be returned back to him in the next year upon becoming good crop condition.”
Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani who told the royal employees
to go such and such place and to take the whole wheat from there and there is no
need of the return of the wheat as in the condition of difficulty this is present from
the Muslim person to his Muslim brothers in this matter.” When government
workers who were collecting wheat from the store of the Shaikh then at that time
they have found seven silver coin pots there. So Nasir Uddin Qabacha who has
given the order to return back those silver pots to Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin
Ghouse Zakaria Multani as these were found in the wheat stock of him.When the
workers of the Nasir Uddin Qabacha who went to give back those silver pots to
Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani then who told him that “ We
know well that there were silver coin pots with wheat stock so that money which
should be distributed among the needy persons.”
But the flattering persons who have given the wrong picture of the generosity
and kindness of Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani as they said to
him that he wants to compete with him in this matter. And being the public person
he is treating equality with him. So for this reason at the heart of Nasir
Uddin qabacha, there was created a knot of the hostility of enmity and which was
very strong in this matter.
The siege of Multan: In those days the chief of the Tartar of the army
of Mongole tribe who was made siege of Multan. At that time all ways in Multan
and around Multan which were closed for this reason. When there was no news of
spiritual master Shaikh Suhabudin Umar Suherwardi from any source. So, for this
reason, Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria Multani was worried and upset
in this matter and he has sent many letters in the name of his spiritual master but he
could not get replies. At last, due to this worry, he was left from Multan.Still he
was covered one destination, then at that time he was met on the way well known
and famous Sufi master of Chistiya chain Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki and Hazrat
Jalaluddin Tabrizi. And these two holy persons who were coming to Multan from
Baghdad. Upon seeing these two holy persons, then he went to  see them in uneasy
condition. And in the anxious condition, he was asked with them “ How is my
spiritual master.” Then both of them told him that “Shaikh of Shaikhs who is well.
But where you are going?” And Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin Ghouse Zakaria
Multani told that “ For many days there is no news of the Shaikh so he is going to
Baghdad.” Hazrat Shaikh Bakhtiar Kaki told him that “ At the present time there is
full of problems and on every step, there are difficulties and problems for the men.
There is the order of your Shaikh that you should return back to Multan unless and
until there will not improve the situation, then he should not come out of the
Multan for this reason. When Shaikh Bahuddin was able to know the news and
health and life condition of his spiritual master then he was becoming happier and
he was taken both of them to his shrine building with much respect and honor. 
Hazrat Qutub Kashani: When Mongols who were finished siege of the Multan
then again, flattering persons of Nasiruddin Qabacha who told him against Hazrat
Bahuddin Zikera so for this reason he has called Hazrat Qutub Kashani who was a
great learned person of Kashan to Multan so that Hazrat Sheikh Baha Uddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani's fame and popularity which will be finished from there
for this reason.
   Hazrat Qutubuddin Kashani who was a reliable learned person of the Islamic
religion. And who was an expert in discussion and arguments. Nasiruddin Qabacha
who has welcomed him upon his arrival to Multan on the grand level basis in this
matter. And in the short of a period of time, he has constructed one big school
building adjacent to the Jama mosque in Multan. And he has appointed him
headmaster of the school and was issued following a royal order.
“ It is the duty of every Amir (rich person) that who give should more and more
respect for him and in his spare time who should visit him and benefit from his
spiritual favour.”
 In obedience, to this order, every Amir and royal employees were present in the
service of Qutubuddin Kashani by folding his two hands there. Also, Nasiruddin
Qabacha who used to attend the meetings of Qutubuddin Kashani every week with
much preparation.The people of Multan who were watching the scenes of the
devotion of the ruler of Multan Nasiruddin Qabacha so, for this reason, there was
increased respect of the ruler in their hearts very much. In this way, there was
much name and fame for Qutubuddin Kashani in this matter. Nasiruddin Qabacha
who was happier very much in this matter upon the success of his plan. And by
praising for his higher rule and luck, his courtiers who were assuring him that soon
the magic of the Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani will end and
upon this situation when his special servants draw his attention to him then Shaikh
Bahuddin who said that “ Up to where you look upon the action of the others. As
time will pass very fast. And there will be nothing which will be available in your
hands. It is better to check your own deeds.in it, there is a secret of the salvation of
the man. Allow others who do whatever as per their will and wish to allow them to
do. And it is compulsory upon the friends to do their deeds in this matter.” The
persons of Nasiruddin Qabacha who were busy in the planning day and night
against Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and they were worried
due to the low level of thinking about him. Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani who knows well about the status of the knowledge of Qutubuddin
Kashani and to giving proof of his excellence he used to go Jama Mosque in
Multan for this reason. And he used to perform his Fajr prayer in the Jama Mosque
Multan under the leadership of Qutubuddin Kashani.
   One day after Fajar prayer Qutubuddin Kashani told to Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani that “Hazrat why did you suffer this trouble.” Qutubuddin
Kashani told him that “Why there is trouble in this matter.” Then Kashni told him
that “There is your mosque so why do you cover such a long distance and come to
the Jama mosque there.” 
 Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told him that “ He is acting
upon the following tradition of the holy prophet of Allah “One who will perform 
the prayer behind the learned person then who acts as per this saying which is such
that who is performing the prayer-like behind the prophet.”
    Qutubuddin Kashani who was heard, his reply, then he has become silent on this
matter and he did not say nothing to him. One day Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani was reached to the Jama Mosque with some delay and by
this time Kashani was finished one Rakat  (one  set of standings, genuflexion
and prostration in prayer) of the prayer there so for this reason he was joined in the
prayer in the second Rakat. When Kashani has completed his prayer after saying
first Salam then Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was stood to
complete his lapsed prayer. So in this matter opposition style which was worked at
that time and when one of the servants of Kashani told in his ear something. So, for
this reason, Kashani waited for Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
for completion of his prayer and when, after his prayer was over then he told him
that “ Why he did not wait for my second Salam and if there will be a mistake by
me then what you will do in this matter.”
   Qutub Kashani wants to say that if there will a mistake by the leader in the
prayer, then he has to pray another Rakat again for this reason with him. So for
this, there will be a difference in his and prayer of the Imam (leader) as one who
will stand at the first Salam of the Imam. In the books of biographies, it is
mentioned that Kashani who was not believed in Sufi and Darwesh persons. So for
this reason he wants to advise him on this matter. Kashani who did not know that
how he has control and power of the knowledge of manifest by Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani. But it was not the duty for Kashani to advise
for him in this matter among all persons as per the requirement of the knowledge
he should have to tell him secretly so that there may no insult or as well as the
disrespect of any person. But he came to Multan for the plan of greediness as well,
as opposed to  him there. He wants to degrade and insult the holy person of Multan
who was ruling in the hearts of the persons in all Multan. So that he can fulfill the
requirement of the sensual desire of the Nasiruddin Qabacha.
  Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told him that “ If any person
who knows, by the light innermost that there is no mistake of the leader in the
prayer then he can stand before it.”
Kashani did not like the saying of the Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani and he told that “ What do you mean by the light of innermost.? And every
light which is not as per the order of the Islamic law which is darkness.”
     As Kashani who did not know the light of  the innermost of Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani so he was comparing it with darkness. In
the manifest, the question of Kashani may be correct, but the light of the innermost
which will its own individual position and status. And this wealth which will not
be found with every high and low. So, for this reason, Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani did not like his answer so without further involved in the
discussion he stood and went away silent from there. And after that, he did not
come again to that Jama Mosque in Multan. Qutub Kashani, then he began
thinking for some time, then he was told in an unpleasant style that “ He was seen
only one darwesh in his whole life and after that, he did not see another one like
him. This present Darwesh who seems to him like a shopkeeper. And who sits on a
big carpet with dignity. And they do not have the right colour and as well as
condition with him.”
    Upon asking with the friend Qutub Kashani who have asked the details of the
event of his life in which he has  been and able to know that Darwesh person.
When he  told the full event of his life than his friend told him that “Due you know
the name of the holy person.?”So Qutub Kashani then replied in negative and he
said that holy person who did not use to meet with the persons so for this reason he
did go into his service.
   That friend smiled and he has said that” He knows the name of that holy person
and his name is Hazrat Najamuddin Saif and who is among  the disciples of Hazrat
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and upon hearing this there was
prevailed silence upon Qutub Kashani for this reason. He was there in such
condition for a long period of time and there were prevailed severe conditions of
the trouble and distress upon his face. When there was increased such condition of
the trouble and difficulty upon the Qutub Kashani then that  friend told him that “
Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani is the first caliph of Hazrat
Shahabuudin Umar Suherwardi. And whether you should know in that matter that
how Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who got first caliphate and
then asking from Qutub Kashani that friend who revealed the secret in this matter
and which is as follows.
On the day when Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was
staying in the shrine building of Hazrat Shahabuudin Umar Suherwardi and he was
waiting there that when did Hazrat Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi who will give
saintly dress to him. Then he  has seen a dream that he is in one house in which the
doors and house roofs which very bright with lights there so, for this reason, his
eyes were dazzled in this matter. In that house, the prophet of Allah was present
there. And also Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi who was present there like
the servants of the house. And in that house, there were hanging some saintly dress
on the rope on one side of the house. After some time the prophet was addressed to
Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi and he  called him and told him “ Umar
brings Bahuddin.” Upon hearing the order of the prophet Hazrat Shabuddin Umar
Suherwardi who went outside of the house and after some time Shaikh of Islam
came there with Hazrat Bahuddin. Then Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi who
kissed the foot of the prophet of Allah. Then  the prophet of Allah who he has
pointed out him at the one saintly dress which was hanging on the rope and he said
to him, “Umar wears this saintly dress to Bahauddin.” Then Hazrat Shabuddin
Umar Suherwardi lifts down that saintly dress who wears to Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and then he holds the hand of his disciple and
has put down his head on the foot of the holy prophet of Allah. When Hazrat
Bahauddin Zikeria Multani’s eyes were open there was some strange of the
condition of pleasure which was prevailed upon him.
 
And due to this dream, he was able to think that he will get saintly dress
certainly. The next day Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi who was called Hazrat
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani at the time of the mid-morning, which is
the time of the Chast prayer in his room. 
When Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani when entered into the
house of Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi then he was surprised that this was
the same house which he has seen in the dream yesterday. And in such a house,
there was a rope there on one side of the house and on which there were hanging
some saintly dresses on the rope there. Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani who then kissed the foot of Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi and he
was sitting  there on the knees. At that time Hazrat Shabuddin Umar Suherwardi
who stood and lift down the same saintly dress which was pointed by the prophet
of Allah at that time and who wore Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani the saintly dress by his hands and in  a very effective  voice he told him
that “ Bahauddin I am only medium among the saintly dresses of the prophet of
Allah. And he could not get the saintly dress to anybody without the permission of
my master which you have seen by your eyes in this matter.”
     Upon revelation the secret the friend of Qutub Kashani who told him that “This
is a strange matter that you have effected much with Hazrat Najamuddin Saif and
you think nobody as darwesh except him in this matter. Hazrat Najamuddin Saif
who is the disciple of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and you
were having such dust in your mind about him. And Qutib Kashani could not reply
to his friend due to regret and shame, then who has left his school in Multan and
he went to Delhi. And till the life of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani, Qutub Kashani could not come back to Multan for this reason.
 

20.One strange and wonderful question

One day one person came into the shrine building of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani and he has said that “He was heard your generosity which
is well known and famous. And you will not return any beggar from your door. I
have heard you will give all your things in the name of Allah. So there is my
question in this matter that I ask one gold coin for the name of every prophet of
Allah who came into this world.”
 
      Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and all his disciples were
surprised upon hearing the strange and wonderful question of the beggar in this
matter. Everybody knows well that in the world approximately 1,24,000 prophets
of Allah who came there. As per the question of the beggar it seemed difficult for
Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani even upon giving his all treasury
to him it will not solve the question of the person in this matter. Due to this
surprise, he was silent on this matter for some time. So for the reason questioner
who said to him that “You did not give the answer to his question.” Then Hazrat
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told him that “ You are in need of such
huge amount and this amount is such amount which can sponsor for you.” The
questioner told him that “You leave my need and answer my question in this
matter so that I can see by my own eyes your generosity and bigheartedness.”
    Upon this matter Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was
involved in mental worry and upset-ness and it was the reality that till now no
beggar did not leave from his place with the empty hands. The prevailed
condition which was worrying him to Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani that if such a huge amount which will be given this person then other poor
and other deserved persons will be left ignored by financial aid in this matter for
this reason. This was such worry in which was trying to solve this matter. At that
time there was a present particular number of the disciples and Sufi and learned
persons in the shrine building. And everybody was thinking that how he will fulfill
the question of the beggar or against his tradition, whether he will return back the
person in need. There was a prevailing strange deep silence in the shrine building.
And still, he was busy in solving the problem in this matter. And at that time from
the corner of the shrine, there was heard one call from there “ Oh my master hand
over that person I will solve his question in this matter.”
    At that time Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and all other
persons who have seen at that corner place Haji Jamal Kanbwa who was the
special disciple and he was standing in his place with much respect.And Haji Jamal
Kanbwa who was among wealthy and rich persons of Multan. And who has much
devotion and affection with Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani. And
so for this reason he belonged to  his close  friends. About Haji Jamal Kanbwa it
was well known that he is the most intelligent person. Then Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who addressed him that “Whether you have
understood the question.” So he told him that “ Yes, sir, I have understood the
question as well as the questioner.” Then worry of the Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani which was over and he was, asked him that “So solve the
question of this poor person.” 
  Then Haji Jamal Kanbwa told him that “ Sir his problem which will not be
solved here and I want to take him to my house and I need your permission in this
matter from your side.” So, for this reason, Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani has given him permission to take the questioner to his house.” And
on the other side all persons in the audience who were thinking about how Haji
Jamal Kanbwa will solve the problem in this matter.?
 
Haji Jamal Kanbwa who was taking his guest to his house and sat him on the
carpet with much respect and he himself sat on the floor and he told him “You are 
a guest of my Shaikh so, for this reason, it is must by him to have to respect you in
this matter.” That beggar who was much become happier with the behavior of the
Haji Jamal Kanbwa and he was able to know that his need which will be fulfilled
by him. After some time Haji Jamal Kanbwa’s servant brought a cup of drink to
him so he drinks it with much satisfaction.Then another servant who has brought to
him one wealthy dress in the tray to wear him there and upon seeing it the Haji
Jamal Kanbwa has requested him to wear that dress there. Then  the beggar told
him that “This is all beginning process, but he wants the answer to his question in
this matter.
   But Haji Jamal Kanbwa told him that “ First allow me to fulfill the process of the
hostpiltality system. I have brought you here to give a reply to your question in this
matter. When the beggar has worn the costly dress, then he was given the order to
the servant to open the treasury and bring gold coins here. Upon order of the Haji
Jamal Kanbwa his servant who has brought all gold coins in the presence of the
beggar there. Then that beggar who has begun thinking that by the twinkling time
of the eyelashes he will be going to become a richer person for this reason. When
all golden coins were brought before the beggar then Haji Jamal Kanbwa who has
asked him to present his question before him.
   The  beggar told his question to him that “To give me one golden coin in the
name of the each and every prophet who was sent by Allah in the world.” Then
Haji Jamal Kanbwa told him “To start in this matter and you start saying the name
of the prophet, and I will give one gold coin in your service.” Upon hearing the
question of Haji Jamal Kanbwa the beggar was worried very much and upset
with this matter. And he began thinking that there will be much intelligence in the
disciple of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and who will be
returning his question to himself so for this reason he began thinking for some
time. But he could not find any solution in this matter, then he began telling the
name of the prophets. First, he told the name of prophet Adam then Haji Jamal
Kanbwa who was given him one gold coin. And in this way, he told with much
difficulty 15 names of the prophets. And Haji Jamal Kanbwa who has paid him 15
golden coins for this reason. So in this way that person who left from there without
success in this matter. 
   When Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was able to know  the
details of the event then he has prayed in the favour of the Haji Jamal Kanbwa and
his sons. 
 
21. The visit to the living person
 
The eating food carpet of the Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani will
be very grand and one time one greedy person who has visited him. But at that
time there was nothing before him for the eating. Then that greedy person who has
asked with him what is meaning of this tradition that “One who has visited a living
person and did not tasted anything with him so for this reason, he has visited the
dead person for this reason.” Then Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani who said that “ Yes, this tradition of the prophet is confirmed but the
people do not know its meaning. There are two kinds of mankind the special and
general persons. I am not concerned with the general, persons, yes, but the special
person will come to visit me then they will be benefited as per their capability and
skill and they will get favour from me. And I will get fondness in this matter. This
is the meaning of this tradition in this matter.
   Upon the hearing of the reply of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani then the greedy person who has becoming regret and ashamed and left
from there.
 
22. The blame upon Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi
 
 Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrazi who is the fellow disciple of Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and who was the disciple of Hazrat Shabuddin
Umar Suherwardi and who was living in Delhi. In those days the Sultan of Delhi
was Sultan Altamash and who was the disciple of Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki. And in
those days Najamuddin Sughra was appointed to the post of Shaikh of Islam in
Delhi. And who was greedy so for this reason he was thinking that why Sultan
Altamash who show his much devotion to the Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki and Hazrat
Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi. Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi when who came to Delhi
then Sultan Altamash has asked Najamuddin Sugihara to arrange for his stay in
Delhi so he was arranging his accommodation in the Bait Jin and which was
famous in Delhi as the house of the Jinns. When Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi
put his foot in that house so, for this reason, all Jinns left from  that building
immediately. When Najamuddin Sughra saw the miracle of the Syed Jalaluddin
Tabrizi so for this reason he was worried whether the Sultan may appoint him
to the post-Shaikh of Islam. So for this reason he has purchased one beautiful
Turkish slave for 1500 Rupees and in some days his news of the beautiful shape of
the slave which was spread throughout in Delhi for this
reason. Najamuddin Sughara who has sent that Turkish slave in the service of
Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrazi and at that time it was time of, Fajar morning
prayer and that slave who present in the service of Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi
and he began pressing the foot of him. At that time Najamuddin Sughra has called
Sultan Altamash and he has told him that “ See the man with him, with which you
have the devotion and who is being pressed his foot by the beautiful Turkish slave.
If the people will see this then there is a fault in their belief for this reason. So it is
good to remove him from Delhi for this reason. 
   When Sultan Shamsuddin Altamash was seen that scene then he was much-
affected in this matter. Still, he wants to say something, then Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who has removed his coverlet and thrown it on the floor and he
has said to Najamuddin Sughra that “ If you see me some time ago then you will
not find this boy with me. That boy who has come here for my trail purpose.”
Upon hearing the conversation of Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi  then Sultan
Altamsah was sorry and ashamed very much in this matter and with regret he was
addressed to Najamuddin Sughra that “ Shaikh these things are not suitable to you.
You are making special persons of Allah as distrustful and also making seduce me
in this matter. So it is good in your favour that you should clear your heart with the
Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi and other Darwesh persons of Allah in this matter.
  Najamuddin Sughara by not taking a lesson with this event and he has made
another plan to disgrace Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrazi as well as
other Darwesh persons specially Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani.
As he knows well that Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who has close relations with
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani. And he was to want to create a  war
between the both of them,  so for this reason he was made his endeavours very fast
so that both of them become disgraceful in Delhi.
  For this reason, he was preparing  a plan for the participation of the famous
dancer of Delhi Gohar Bai with his close friend for blaming for Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin Tabrizi for the charge of rape and misbehavior for her in this matter.
And to submit her petition of the blame in the court of the sultan in this matter.
And for this matter, he has paid a large amount to her and the half amount he was
paid in advance to Delhi dancer Gohar Bai. And half amount which was kept
deposition in the custody with grocer Musharaf for this reason. At last Gohar Bai
went to the court of the Sultan of the Delhi Altamash and by weeping too much she
told him that “ She was deceived by the face of the light of Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin
Tarbazi and he was done excess to me.” Sultan Altamsh was surprised because
Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin was respected by his spiritual master Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki.
So such a person who will not involve in such a major sin. He has  called
explanation with dancer Gohar Bai then she has told him that “ She is a dancer but
it is not her occupation to sell her body and Shaikh has deceived me.”
   Sultan Altamash who was not ready to hear the case against Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin but on the pressure of Najamuddin Sughra and  the other the learned
persons of the court who were pressured sultan to start hearing of the case so that 
the force on Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin so he can prove his innocence in this
case. Sultan of Delhi told that “He knows well that Shaikh is innocence in this
case. But he is unable to impose his judgment in the court so that persons may say
for siding with Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin. And it will be said that I have
done favour to that person who is a friend of my spiritual master. So he told them
to prepare court hearing so the people of the world will see who is a sinner in this
case.”
    After this then there was sent invitations to famous learned persons of India who
were called to Delhi. Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani when he
has received the invitation from Sultan Altamsh of Delhi Kingdom then his face
changed due to the trouble of the grief and sadness as well as difficulty in this
matter. Then he  told the messenger that “ Whether the learned persons of the
Delhi did not know which family Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin belongs.? How this
matter will be possible in this matter.? In short, he went to Delhi  with fast speed
without stoppage at any destination during his journey to Delhi, and in a few days
he was reached to Delhi. 
   After the Friday prayer in the Jama Mosque Delhi the complaint, petition was
presented in the presence of learned and Mashaiq (saintly guide) and at that time
the courtyard of the Jama Mosque which was filled with more than 250 learned
and Mashiq persons. Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and Hazrat
Bakhtiar Kaki, who were sitting on the right side of the Sultan of Delhi
Altamash.At that time Sultan has asked Najamuddin Sughra to select any arbitrator
among the learned and saintly guides so that his judgment may be accepted in the
court of the sultan.
   As Najamuddin Sughara knows well that there was some difference some time
ago between Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin so that differences may be utilized as its benefit in this matter. So, for
this reason, Najamuddin Sugihara has called the name of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani as an arbitrator for the settlement of this complaint case
against Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin and so for this reason for all learned and saintly
guides who have agreed in this matter mutually.
   At that time there was such condition that at one side group of Najamuddin
Sughara who was happy that today there were cut the veil of the Darwesh person.
And on the other side the group of Darwesh and Sufi persons and who were very
sad in this matter as their one friend who was involved in the conspiracy of the
fraud and deception. As well as in the dangerous storm and at the target of the
misleading of falsehood. At last, in the atmosphere of trouble and difficulty, the
royal servants of the court brought Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi in the court. As
soon as he has put his step in the mosque then all Sufi and Darwesh persons who
stood  with much anxiety from their seats to welcome him in the Jama Mosque of
Delhi.
    At that time Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani stood from his
seat and collected his slippers in his handkerchief and come back to his seat. Sultan
Altamash was watching this event so he was surprised in this matter. Upon seeing
he warm welcome of Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi. So, for this reason, the face
of Najamuddin Sughara has become pale. Because the person he was selected as an
arbitrator who has collected slippers of the accused person then what will be
remaining there.? For some movements, he has become unconscious, but he was
sure that his plot was free from any defect in this matter. So he immediately
controlled himself.
   When Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi was present in the court then Sultan
Altamash who has said as follows.
  “ The leader of the holy persons Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
and who is the glorious person is an arbitrator in this case and who has paid such
respect and honour to Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi so saying about his holiness
which is out of wisdom in this matter. So the complaint which was lodged against
Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi which is false as per my opinion.”
   Then Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has stood from his
seat and he was addressed in court in  a loud voice and said that “ It is the pride for
me that to make dust of the foot of Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi as antimony
because he was accompanied with my spiritual master Hazrat Shabuddin Umar
Suherward in this journey and stay for a period of many years. It is possible that
Najamuddin Sughara may be thinking that due to my connection with him I am
putting a veil of his defects in this matter. So it is a must to present the respondent
in the court. Then Allah will protect caller persons of his names as per his
methods.”
   Upon hearing the conversation of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani so there was came feelings of happiness on the face of Najamuddin
Sughara. He was sure that due to his influence the dancer will defend her
complaint in the court. And she will not hesitate in this matter. So as per his order
dancer who was appearing  in the court with pomp and show as well as with
boldness. And she was reached before Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikaria Multani then she has put her neck down.
  Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was asked the dancer do
you know Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi.? Then that dancer who told him by
putting down his neck that “Yes sir, she knows him,” Then Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was asked in the style of majestic to look
him so the dancer who has looked at him one time then she was worried in this
matter and put down her look. So Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
who was spoken  to her in anger style as follows.“ Oh prostitute woman how you
have dared to lodge complaint upon the holy person of Allah. There is no matter
hidden from the friends of Allah so tell what is reality.? Otherwise, you will be
punished in such a way that people will take the lesson in this matter.”
  Upon hearing the words of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani there
was prevailed fear upon the dancer, so she began shivering from head to toe and
she said in a down voice that “There is witness Allah that all this is false and
slander and I have seen this holy person of Allah first time in my life here only”.
     Then Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani has asked her “ So why
did you have stage such problem.” Then that dancer has told him that “Musharraf
grocer who has given me 500 golden coins in advance for blaming of the rape upon
Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi and when this blame which will be confirmed then
he will pay me the balance amount of 500 gold coins. And with me, this was a
business case and further information I do not know in this matter.”
    Najamuddin Sughara who worried upon hearing such truth and he was standing
from his seat and he said fast that “ As this proved that the dancer as false and
Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi is free from this complaint and so, for this reason,
this case should be closed in this court.”
    Then Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani has said that “ The
dancer is proved false but what is the enmity of grocer Musharaf with Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin Tabrazi in this matter. So he has to lodge such a complaint against him.
So I will give the order to present Musharaf in the court at this time immediately.”
Sultan was given the order to the policemen to bring Musharraf in the court. So for
this reason after some time policemen who brought Musharraf to Jama Mosque in
Delhi and presented in the court. At that time his whole body was shivering due to
fear. And he came there and was falling at the foot of the Sultan of Delhi Altamash
and began weeping and he said that “Oh Sultan of higher status. He is free from
fault in this matter because Najamuddin Sughra has forced me in this matter. If he
will be not obeyed his order, then he would have cut my neck from my body.”
   Upon hearing this face of Najamuddin Sughra was becoming pale due to severe
fear and his eyes were down due to a load of regret and shame. Sultan Shamsuddin
Altamash who has looked at Najamuddin Sughra with anger and he was said to
him that “Moulana why did you have done such a mean act in this matter. Allah
has given you the post of the Shaikh of Islam of Delhi with much wealth and
honor. Then also you have done ingratitude in this matter. Allah protects, you have
lodged complaints upon the holy person of Allah. So which is this style of greed
and self-indulgence is this matter ?.
  There was no reply to this question with Najamuddin Sughra and he was
standing in the court while putting down his neck there. The Sultan was given his
order to cut his neck. But Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who
interrupted in this matter immediately and he said “ Oh. Sultan ignores this wrong
act of Najamuddin Sughra and Allah will give punishment to him in this matter.”
 
      At the same time, Sultan was suspended Najamuddin Sughra from the post of
the Shaikh of Islam of Delhi and for this Sultan Altamash who has requested his
spiritual master Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki to accept this post.
    Then Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki told him that “Tonight all learned and saintly guides
who will be done judgment from augury and whatever there will be order from the
prophet of Allah which will be implemented in this matter and that person who
will be eligible for the post of Shaikh of Islam of Delhi and who will be appointed
in this matter
   In short Najamuddin Sughra made a conspiracy to defame and insult Hazrat
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrazi but
he himself who has become the victim of his plan and but both of them who were
safe and secure from this conspiracy plan from each and every angle in this matter.
   Some days after this even Najamuddin Sughra who was becoming suffered due
to severe stomach pain in his body and due to this illness and he has spent some
days and nights in much uneasiness and difficulty and in such great trouble he has
died. When Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Tabrizi,  who was able to know the news in
this matter, then he said in  a sad voice to his disciples and devotees in this matter
“ Shaikh Najam Sughra left of the world.” After that, he has performed his funeral
prayer in his absence and in sadness  and grief voice he was prayed for his
salvation and he has said as follows.
“ Oh Allah, I have forgiven Shaikh Najamuddin Sughra you also forgive him.”
                            23.The post of Shaikh of Islam
 
    Qutub of Qutubs Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki, who said to all other learned persons and
saintly guides to do judgment from augury tonight in this matter. When they all
learned persons and saintly guides who done augury in the night and they have
seen that the prophet who is standing under the emporium by folding his hands
there and he was called Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and who
has given him the post of Shaikh of Islam of Delhi and awarded the robe of honor
to him in this matter for this reason.
     So in the next day when all learned persons and saintly guides who were
gathered in the Jama Mosque and when Sultan seated, then Qutub of Qutubs
Hazrat Bakhtiar Kaki then he was addressing all learned persons and saintly guides
as follows.
“ Now there should be no hesitation to anybody who will be Shaikh of Islam of
Delhi.”   So all learned persons and saintly guides who called in one voice that to
whom the post of Shaikh of Islam of Delhi, which was given by the prophet so
about his felicity and benediction nobody could not say in this matter. And who
has requested Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani to accept this post
so who has accepted the post of the Qutub of Islam without any objection.
Upon appointment on the post-Shaikh of Islam of Delhi, Hazrat Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was returned back to Multan and Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin Tabrizi who has gone to Badayun. And after that, these two
contemporary helpers, friends as well as holy persons could not be met again in the
rest of the life in a manifest way.
   Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was on this post post-Shaikh of
Islam of Delhi till his life. And his post was continued till the rule Sultan
Nasiruddin Mahmood. And at that time his age was 90 years old.
 
 
                24.The endeavours of the preaching of the Islam
 
When at the time Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria who come back to Multan then
at that time the followers Qaramati sect who were found in around Multan. This
problem which is linked with one person Abdallah Mammon. And who has not
believed the reward and punishment of the good and bad deeds in the world and
hereafter. And his follower Ahmed Qarmata who has played an important role in
the spread his false believe. So for this reason they were well known and famous as
Qaramati people. Sultan Mohammed Ghouri who has finished this problem to 
the most extent. But due to the support of the ruler of the Lahore Qusro Malik it
could not be finished completely for this reason. And in this problem mostly
included among the ignorant persons.
 The Qaramati people who used to preach their belief which are as follows.
1.There are two prayers which are compulsory at the morning and sunset time.
2.There is no required Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer) in the
prayers.
3.There are no required fasting during the month of the Ramadhan.
4.The liquor is allowed.
5.There is no required for the post coition bath.
   The center of the Qaramati people was in Kofa. They think Mohammed Bin
Hanifa as the messenger of Allah. For going for the Hajj pilgrimage to Jerusalem,
they have looted a lot in Syria, Kofa and Basra.They have made their group leader
as Abu Taher and captured Makkah and martyred many thousands persons there.
And they have taken away black stone which is called Hajra Aswad and it was
with them for a period of 20 years. This problem which was finished by Sultan
Mohammed Ghouri and his slave Qutubuddin Ebak. But their complete effect and
source for which they were not successful in this matter. There was a great
difficulty to eradicate this problem in this matter Nasiruddin Qabacha who ruler of
Multan and Sindh who was very careless in this matter.So for this reason Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria who was reviewed this false problem. So that their
increasing power which should be finished in this matter.

25.Foundation of the school building

Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria upon taking charge of the post of the Shaikh
of Islam he has immediately to decrease the effect of the Qarmati people and for
the increase of progress of the preaching of the Islamic religion he was established
foundation of the school building on the land which is adjacent to the shrine
building.In which there two sections and in one section there will be training of the
learned persons and in the other section there will be training of the preachers. And
it was compulsory for the preachers that they should learn the language and
cultural information as well as customs fully of that region and country where they
were deputed for this work.So that there should be no alien-ness and for this matter
they can absorb easily in the local culture and civilization. And after that they can
going to abolish un-necessary and non-Islamic practices and customs there. And
for this purpose he was called one learned person from the country and he has
appointed him in his school and paid him good salary and arranged for his
accommodation and facilities for him. Also he was called many other learned
persons of the higher grade category and appointed them for his school teachers
and paid them good and attractive salary in the school teaching.
When the students of the preaching section who will finish their training then
come into the presence of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and at he will
ask them whether they are reaching preaching service for the sake of Allah for this
great work and the student who will be ready then he used to send them in the area
or country as per willingness and wish of the students in this matter. So in such
case students should required training of the further two years for learning of the
language and culture of the area or country. And after that period when will be
over then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani will pay to the students 5000
golden coins as gift to such students so that they can purchase necessary and useful
things required for that area and country and will ask them to put in the ship. When
all goods will be ready then the ship will sail away under shadow of the prayers of
the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and he will advice them as follows.
“ To sale the goods on the less profit,to follow Islamic rules in the dealings, not
sale bad quality goods, to give free of the cost to poor and Fakir persons,to behave
with the customers with good manners and unless and until there will be not
available confidence of the customers then should not present before them
preaching of the Islamic religion for this reason.”
So in this way young preachers in the dress of merchants while taking goods in
the ships go to the alien and in the far away countries and where they will
establish commercial centers and where they begins commercial dealings as per
advice of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and they get closeness of
the local people then inform them about Islamic religious teaching and with their
good behaviour, religious work, message, honesty, smooth dealings then call them
and make agree to cause to be inclined toward Islam. And in this way they increase
circle of the Islam preaching in large and wide scale.Today the presence of
Muslim Community in the south east countries of the India which was result of the
merchants who have done preaching endevours in that area or country. In this way
the small plant of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani which was grown
well and which is still giving fruits and flowers in this matter. Also Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was established one internal section in the
section of the preaching under his control to look after negative impact on the
Muslims of the subcontinent. And which not only reduce it but also spread the
deepness and wideness of the Islamic religion in the near and far areas of the
subcontinent.
In the local front those were made in-charge of preaching groups in the different
areas and for them it was compulsory to come Multan with newly embraced
Muslims group one time in the year so that they can given refreshing courses in the
green atmosphere and under shadows of the trees in the school near shrine
building. So that they can corrects their defects and know further rules of the
preaching. And so with that knowledge they can return back to their areas and
countries and to engage in the work of preaching with enthusiastically there. So
that in this way there will be check upon them the activities in the year.
Other Darwesh and Sufi persons who did preaching work to great extent by their
own methods and system. But by the way of system of the preaching which was
done by Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani on the organized and systematic
way and which is found less by other Darwesh and Sufi persons.
As Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has spent a large part of his
life in acquiring knowledge and hard mystical exercise and when the look of his
spiritual master Hazrat Shhabuddin Umar Suherwardi which made him a perfect
person. Then he was given order to go Multan for advice of the mankind and
calling the people toward right path of Islam and in the manifest, there will be
found before large heaps of the wealth and money with him. And in reality such
wealth and amount and with that aim which it was spent by him to such works in
this matter.
In the eastern side of the mausoleum of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
there is one platform on which he was given sermons to his disciples for a period
of 30 years and but there will be interval of the sermons when he will be out for the
travel and tourism purpose for preaching mission work. This is such platform from
which learned persons, Sufi persons , general persons as well as non-Muslims who
were benefitted.
His life was as per exactly the rules of the Islamic law and even thought he was a
higher grade worshiper and ascetic, as well as he was a great learned person of the
Islamic religion. He used to teach devotees about Sufism and purification of the
mind. In the general meetings he used to show the general persons about matter of
the true faith of the religion and warm their hearts in this matter. In his meetings
there will be large numbers of the non-Muslim persons and who will accept Islam
and in this way they will make their life of the other world good as well as also
make re-fresh their faith.
The problem of the Mughal : in the year 655 Hegira due to conspiracy of the
Muslim leaders Mughal army who attacked on the Ouch and Multan for this
reason. The Mughal army who destroyed towers and check posts and in which
way they have made the City of the Multan unsafe and unsecure in this matter. At
that time there was spread that the Mughal army want to looting and killing in the
city. The people Multan who in the presence of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani they requested his prayer against of the Mughal army. Upon revelation the
shaikh who was addressed the people so for this reason their faces were becoming
black due to horror in this matter. After some time he was asked his servant “To
pack one lakh golden coins the bag.”The servants who were taken the required
amount from the treasury and put that amount in one bag before him. Then shaikh
who was taken such huge cash bag by himself and reached in the Mughal army. He
met the leader of the Mughal army and told him that “The thing you want I have
brought with me and take an amount of one lakh golden coins and for forgive the
mankind of Allah. The Mughal chief who has taken such huge amount from him
and he has left from there without involving in the looting and killing in the
Multan City.

26.The service of the persons who are searching the reality

Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who made accommodation building for
the service of the persons who are searching the reality in which there were many
section in it. In each and every section there were kept the students of different
classes in separate accommodation. Also there were separate accommodation
sections which were available for learned and saintly guides ,every student, learned
person and traveler who get food separately. It was his daily practice that he used
to visit that accommodation building and caravan sarai without fail and meet the
travelers.In those travelers who were most of them belongs to his devotees and
who will come from long distance places in his service and who will get his
benefit and favour from him and then return back to their places after benediction
in this matter.In this service there was also included his prayers and medicine and
his financial help from his side. The shaikh who was constructed one caravan sarai
building for the visitors from long distance areas in which there was attended all
the requirement of the visitors with free of cost. There was arrangements of them
completely and in this way his chain of favour and benediction which was
continued always for the visitors there.
One time during the visit of Multan by Sultan Mohammed Tughlaq who was
allotted Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani land in the 100 villages and
same day he was distributed the land of 100 villages to all of his disciples and
devotee persons.
 27. The saying of the righteousness and boldness

When Mohammed Ghouri who was conquered India then he has appointed his
successor Qutubuddin Eibak and who was his slave and which has purchased by
him on cash. Qutubuddin Eibak has two son in laws Al-Tamash and Nasiruddin
Qabacha.At the time of death Qutubuddin Eibak has appointed Al-Tamash as his
successor for the Sultanate of Delhi and Nasiruddin Qabacha as ruler of the
Multan and Sindh.Sutlan Altamash who was a pious Sultan and he was disciplie of
Hazrat Qutubuddin Bakhatiar Kaki. But Nasiruddin Qabacha who has enmity with
the holy persons of Allah.
Nasiruddin Qabacha who was waiting for any chance so that he can kill Sultan
Altamash of Delhi Kingdom and to become Sultan of Delhi. When he was become
able in this matter then he began secret planning and have been contacted different
people in this matter. When Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was known
his secret plan then he has written one letter to Sultan Altamash in which he has
informed him details of the secret planning of the Nasiruddin Qabacha. The details
in this letter which were as follows. “ This Fakir know well that Sultan’s day night
which will be spent in the service of the mankind of Allah. So it is duty of this
Fakir to pray in the favour of the Sultan of India in this matter. And to inform the
bad deeds of the troubler makers.The actviites of the ruler of the Panjab which are
not in favour of the Islamic Kingdom.That unwise person who is planning revolt
against the center in this matter. So for this reason Sultan should watch his royal
personnel so that there will be safety of the mankind from destruction.”
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has sent one letter with the above
text by hands of his faithful servant and has sent capital Delhi. At the other side
Qazi Sharafuddin of Multan who has written one letter to Sultan Altamash with the
above text and informed him that to take action against the conspirator soon
otherwise there will be possible too much killing. Qazi Sharafuddin who was a
person of righteous saying , honest and learned person. Who has done justice and
righteous work always on sitting in the chair of judge in the court. And he was
popular and famous among Indian Muslims for his judgments.
The above two holy persons who have done their responsibilities in this matter
but due to bad luck both of their letters which were caught by intelligence
employees of the Nasiruddin Qabacha which were active at that time.They have
arrested both of them on the border of the Punjab and without further delay present
them in the court Nasiruddin Qabacha for this matter.When he has read both letters
then he was very much angered and he was cried and said that “ Living in my
kingdom and by eating my salt and seducing the Sultan against me.”
 Nasiruddin Qabacha who was given order his soldiers to present Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani and Qazi Sharafuddin in his court immediately. Qazi
Sharafuddin and Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani both of them present in
the court indifferently. Nasiruddin Qabacha asked Shaikh Bahuuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani to sit at his right side and ask Qazi Sharafuddin to sit before
him.Both of the pious persons who were unable to know with the situation in this
matter. And they were thinking this as process of the routine work.Because they
used to present in the court of Nasiruddin Qabacha for giving him advice in the
matters of the adminsration.So for this reason there was not in their idea about the
thinking of the Nasiruddin Qabacha. Nasiruddin Qabacha asked with Qazi
Sharafuddin “ Qazi Saheb whether you complaint with me.” Then Qazi
Sharafuddin told him that “With dignity of his knowledge that he did not have
complaint with him.” So Nasiruddin Qabacha told him that “ You are telling lie in
his matter.” Qazi Sahib told him that by swearing God “I do not say lie. And if he
will say lie then how there will remain honour of the court.” Then Nasiruddin
Qabacha has shown him the letter written by him with much anger. And told him
“What is this,?”. And he has put that letter before Qazi Sharafudin and told him
that this letter of the complain you have written to Sultan Al-Tamash in which you
have informed him my plot against him.” Upon hearing the saying of the
Nasiruddin Qabacha, Qazi Sharafuddin who becoming silent.
Then Nasiruddin Qabacha by thinking silence of the Qazi as his crime so he has
order executor to kill him by sword in the royal court at that time. So that there will
prevail horror of his power upon Hazrat Bahauddin Zikeria Ghouse Multani. When
the corpse of Qazi Saheb was becoming cold then dead body was taken away from
there and blood was cleaned from the court.
Upon seeing this event by Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani there were
found shadows of sadness and grief for this reason on his face.For such a person
of righteousness it was a great shock to him for killing of a such person of justice
in this matter. Nasirqabacha upon watching the effects upon his face who thought
that his trick was successful in this matter. Then he asked the same question which
he has asked with Qazi Musharaf. Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
told him that “ There is no enmity between me and you. So Nasiruddin Qabacha
who has put his letter before Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani then he has
asked him “What is this,?” So he has look at his letter and he has said that “ Yes,
this is my letter and I have written each word in it by order of Allah and not by his
intention. And who is owner of the owner of the worlds. And before him powerful
persons are in helpless and in weak condition. So I was forced to write this letter
and you were forced to read it. So it is not more than this.”
Due to righteous say there was prevailed fear on the whole royal court of
Nasiruddin Qabacha.Also there was prevailed fear on Nasiruddin Qabacha. And he
did not said anything before him. And he has put down his head and with much
humility he told him that “Shaikh I regret for giving you trouble in this matter.
Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was prayed for the salavation of
Qazi Musharafuddin in the royal court and left from there to his shrine building.
This event of his righteous and boldness which was attached in the history of India
as such that even after passing of the time of many centuries quality of this writing
is like shining and as well as bright light like the golden rays of the sun.

 
                    

28.The walking on the surface of the water

 
   One time Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shaker who was traveling along with
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani in one journey. During the journey, they
came to the river bank and where there was no arrangement of the boat to cross the
river. Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shaker who without hesitation
proceededfurther and he began walking on the water surface. But Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has stopped there to take opinion from the mind in
this matter whether to show the miracle or not.? 
    Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shaker who was able to know by his revelation his
hesitation, so said to him that “ Brother this place is dangeous and residence of the
thieves, so, for this reason, there is no hesitation here to show miracle so come on
in an informal way.”
 Upon hearing  this then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has put his
foot on the surface of the river water and crossed the river in a moment.
 
               

29.The newly converted Muslim potter

 
It was  the practice of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani that if he will
come to any poor and Syed (a Muslim claiming descent from Muhammad,
especially through Husayn, the prophet's younger grandson.) into his presence,
then ,he will welcome him very much and give him the robe and he will give him
golden coins. Once there was prevailed severe starvation in Multan so for this
reason, the people were forced to enter into starvation life for this reason. At that
time there was living newly converted Muslim potter in the suburbs of Multan and
when he was able to know that Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who will
pay respect to Syed persons so for this reason he was planing to get benefit from
him in this matter. And went into his presence,  and he said that “ Oh Shaikh I am a
poor Syed person and due to daily starvation condition I am suffering a lot and
come into your presence. So you can help me with this matter. Then Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani upon hearing the saying of the potter he was
called his servant and given him the order to give him his guests two robes. In his
service some persons who present and who know the real condition of the potter.
And one person among them, he said in loud him in a loud voice that “ Shaikh that
potter who belongs to such and such village And who has taken away large wealth
from you by saying false in your presence.” 
     Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani then told that “He was known his
reality in this matter.”
 
             
 30. The great favour of Allah
 
    In the presence of Sheikh Bahuddin, Ghouse Zikeria Multani people used to
come into his presence will get their desires and wishes as per their hearts. The
treasury of the Sheikh will be opened always for poor and needy persons. 
 
    One time Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who engage in the worship
of Allah in his room and near him some Darwesh persons who were busy in the
chanting something by their lips there. At that time suddenly he was standing  from
there and he was taken one bag of gold coins in his hands and he went away
outside very fast. So, for this reason, all Darwesh persons were also surprised and
watching their faces of each other in this matter. At the other moment, they also
went outside to follow the Shaikh of time in this matter. They went there and have
found the scene that some persons who were insulting one person who was not
able to pay their debt. And who is warning him in this matter. 
They are saying to him that “If you did not pay loan amount today, then we will
take away an amount forcibly from your side.”
  But the poor person who requesting them and saying many times that “He is not
in a position to repay the loan amount. And he is not refusing to pay the loan
amount. Kindly allow me some time in this matter.” And on the other side, the loan
giver is not ready to allow some more time. And he was insulting him very much
for this reason. Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani went toward loan
giver directly and he  said to him that “If you would have given some time, then
there will be a benefit for you in this matter. And for which Allah will open the
door of the wideness in your favour. But due to your short-sightedness and
recklessness, you have lost this chance.”
  The loan givers instead of showing kindheartedness then told him in a harsh way
that “ We want repayment our loan and we want to get back it anyway.So the
Shaikh has given them a money bag and has asked them “To take the required
amount from it.”  
  When that money bag was received by them so, for this reason, they have taken
their loan amount from it and among them one loan giver’s intention which was
bad so he was taken more amount than his loan amount. When all loan givers who
were taken back their amount then Shaikh told them that “Now there is no loan
amount due to all of you from this person.”
 The loan giver who replied in negative, so he has collected  the money bag and
balance amount then and he began proceeding toward his room. Then at that time,
he was heard crying sound of one loan giver and who has called that “ Oh Shaikh
forgive me, I have taken more than my loan amount from your money bag and for
this reason, Allah has made me that hand paralyzed from which I have collected
more amount.”
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told him that “You are involved in
dishonesty and hurt mankind, and at last when do you not afraid of your creator in
this matter.” 
     He has said this and went further. That loan giver who comes there very fast
and caught his foot and requesting him by weeping that “Oh Shaikh if you will not
forgive then Allah will not give me salvation.”
  Upon seeing him weeping, he was paid kindness to him and he was forgiven that
dishonest person. And still, his words of forgiveness were in his mouth, then his
hand has become good. And he has come back into his room. And he has
addressed to his guest Darwesh persons that “ There is great kindness of Allah that
who has sent him to help one person at the right time.”
 
                      
      31.The call  for help by the Khaja Masood Kamal
 
There was one disciple of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and his name
was Khaja Masood Kamal and he was a merchant in dealing business of the
jewels. He has much wealth with him, which was given to him by Allah. One time
he  took his goods from seaport Jordon to Aden seaport for commercial trip
purpose. Still, the half journey was not covered by the ship and there came
storming in the sea. And it was  a severe wind storm that the ship was moving on
the waves and all persons in the ship were disappointed with their lives. And in
that situation Khaja Kamaluddin Masood who has remembered his spiritual master
and he was crying  with  a loud voice “ Shaikh this is the time of the prayer. Pray
for us as we are sinners and pray for our safety .” 
   Still, these words which were on the tongue of Khaja Kamaluddin Masood then
he was seen Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani on the deck of the ship at
that time. And he was advised all of the people to be silent and then he was looking
at the sea, so, for this reason, the sea was becoming calm and quiet. After that
Khaja Kamaluddin Masood and other persons who have looked a second time at
the deck of the ship, but they could not find Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani there.
  After the freeing from sea storm all persons who have given one-third of their
goods to Khaja Kamaluddin Masood so that he can arrange to send the goods in the
presence of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani in Multan.
 In the goods of the presents given by the ship merchants and in which Khaja
Kamaluddin Masood who has added his half quantity of the jewels with him and
was sent to Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani by Khaja Fairduddin Gilani
to Multan. Upon reaching Multan, he went into the presence of Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani then he has seen him in the same dress which he was
wearing on the deck of the ship at the wind storm in the sea.
   So, for this reason, there was increased the devotion of Khaja Fairduddin Gilani
and he has given him jewels of the more than 70 lakhs in the presence of Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani. And Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
who has distributed the above value of the jewels and good among poor and needs
persons at the same time. Upon seeing such style of the generosity Khaja
Fairduddin Gilani, who was given his goods and jewels in the presence of Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and was entered into his slave circle at the same
time. And in a short period of time, he was passed away all stages of the mysticism
and was obtained caliphate. And he was living in the service of Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani for a period of five years, then he went on the Hajj
pilgrimage and he was reached in Jeddah and was died there and he was buried in
Jeddah.
 
            

32.The reality of his chemical look

   It was said by Baba Fariduun Ganj Shaker that he and Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani were present in the court of Sultan Al-Tamash of Delhi Kingdom.
During that time some learned person has asked with Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani that “ How look  for the man will have an effect of the chemical
look.?. Then, instead of replying to this question, he  asked me to go bazaar and
purchase and bring one foolish slave who seems there.
    Upon saying this he was taken out one gold coin from his pocket and was given
me. As per the order of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani, I went to the
bazaar and was purchased and brought such a slave who was very foolish from his
face and looked very stupid person among all the slaves' persons. According to
faith, he was non-Muslim. Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani asked the
slave to sit before him and advise to recite the phrase of witness. Then slave who
has declared about the unity of God and given witness of the prophet of Allah and
he was becoming   a Muslim. Upon he was becoming a Muslim, then Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was pat him to induce his back and he  told
him that “ These learned persons who will ask you every kind of the question so
reply them in this matter.” Then the slave has looked on his face and with much
respect, he said: “Yes, master I will obey your order.” Then Sultan Altamash and
all other learned persons who have looked his face with many surprises in this
matter. Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told that “ Those who want
then they 
can ask their question with this slave.”
  The learned person has asked questions with him one after another in large
number, but the slave was given replies very fast without any delay. So for this
reason the learned persons who were drowned in the world of the surprise that one
uneducated, uncivilized person and who has solved many big problems. And which
brought silence to the learned persons.
   After some silence, the slave has one questioned with all learned persons that
“Sultan Altamash who was thinking that only learned persons who will reply to his
questions in one movement and this slave will be surprised in this matter. But he
was surprised when the learned person has seen the face of the slave person with
surprise and said about him.
 When Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who said to those learned persons
that “ You have observed by your own eyes that there is a look of the human being
that will have a chemical reaction to it .”
   All learned person who has told in an agreed voice that “ No doubt this is
chemical look.” Afterward, that slave who lived for many years in Delhi and who
was explained about the reality of the chemical look before the learned persons.
 
                                           33.The look of favour
 
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was very strict in Islamic law and
in this matter, he will not tolerate even small carelessness and negligence. During
this period there was one person Ali Khair who has much enmity with the Darwesh
persons and he will not leave any chance to harm Darwesh persons. The persons
who used to ask him what you are searching for.? Then he will say that “He is
searching for such Darwesh person and for this reason he has visited many shrine
buildings in this matter. But he could not find a perfect Darwesh person. Those
who are found who are worshipped and ascetic person, but they do not belong to
Darwesh person.”
   When the persons who used to ask him to “Whom you call Darwesh person.?
“Then he will be used to say that Darwesh is such person in whose chest there will
be the pain of the love”. And in reply, the persons who used to make his fun and
will say to him that “You could not get such a Darwesh person.”?
   When Ali Khair was heard praise about Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani then he was entered into his shrine building and it was his habit that when
he will look at the Darwesh person than in his first look he will say that this
Darwesh person who is free from the pain of the love. But when he  looked at
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani then he was crying that “ This holy
person is entire of the love.” Ali Khair who has requested Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani to add him in his circle of the devotion. So Shaikh who
has accepted his request and included him among his disciples and advised him
daily round of prayer formula and repeat incantation. So Ali Khairi who has went
out of the city and he has stayed in one room and was engaged in the daily round
of prayer formula.
   After some days, Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani went to know the
news of his disciple at his room. And Ali Khairi who was happier to see his
spiritual master at his place. During the discussion, he lifted one earthen clod and
hit it on the earth with much force so for this reason by seeing it was turned into
pieces of the gold. Upon seeing this Shaikh closed his eyes for this reason and he
has said ‘Ya Gafur’ (forgiving) three times there. Upon this, he has told Ali Khairi
that “He should not do like this.” Then by saying he was left from there. At that
time Ali Khairi could not understand the message informing of danger in this
matter. And but he was engaged in his endeavours.
   After some days.  Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani went again to see his
disciple into his room. At that time it was evening time and Ali Khair made an
indication, then at the lamp side so for this reason it was lighted by seeing it. Upon
seeing this action the Shaikh was becoming very sad in this matter. And he  told
him in severe angry style “Ali Khair what shows work in which you have
indulged.?”
  Ali Khairi who told by ignoring his warning and he told him that “How this is
showing work.” Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani stood there and he
told him that “ Ali, evil genius which taken you under its grip.”
   After saying this then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani left from there
in angry condition. After going of Hazrat Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani then evil genius which has been caught him very strongly. And he was
involved in the unbecoming of the world in this matter. With this, he was involved
in the disease of ‘Ju Baqar’ which means in it one who will be involved overeating
always but his appetite and hunger which will not be satisfied in this matter. Due to
the effect or horror of such disease, Ali left prayers, daily recitals, hymn,
remembrance, and thinking of Allah. Even there was the cure of the disease with
his spiritual master in Multan but he was not paying attention to that place and he
began wandering the shrine buildings of other holy persons in this matter. But he
could not cure at any place for his disease.
  In such a condition of wandering, he was reached at last in Bengal in the presence
of Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who was the fellow disciple of Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani. Upon 
reaching in his service he has explained to him all of his stories of the case while,
weeping and crying in this matter. And has requested with him for his prayer.
Upon hearing the story of the cursed person of the court of Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani then Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi told him that “Ali I can
only regret and mourn for your bad luck and less wisdom because for such person
who could not get a place on his foot side of his spiritual master then he will not
get shelter in the unrelated person's place.Except for one look of the Shaikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani, there is no cure for your disease in this matter.”
  At that time there was prevailed fear and uneasiness upon Ali so for this reason he
could not able to understand the meaning of the saying of the Hazrat Jalaluddin
Tabrizi and he began repeating his request to him that Shaikh pray for,
his favour otherwise he will die by running here and there. Hazrat Jalaluddin
Tabrizi told him that “Unless there will be no permission from Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani then he cannot pray in his favour.”
   Upon hearing the saying of Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi which disappointed him
and he began weeping and crying in this matter. Upon seeing his condition Hazrat
Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who has consoled him and said to him that still there is time
you go and get permission from your Shaikh then he will pray for you to Allah in
this matter.”
  Upon hearing this his fear which was increased too much in this matter and he
began weeping and he said that “ The journey from Bengal to Multan which is not
easy and the journey is such lengthy and difficult and so, for this reason, it is
possible that he will have died for this reason.” Hazrat Jalaluddin Tabrizi has told
him that “If you give me permission then he will seek permission from your
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani. This is because you have a special
connection with Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani.”
  Upon hearing this matter, there came the hope of life with Ali Khairi. Then he
said that by weeping that “Shaikh if such thing will happen then he will be obliged
and grateful to him during his whole life period in this matter.” Sheikh Jalaluddin
Tabrizi told him in the angry condition that “ You did not become be obliged and
grateful to that personality who has given you each and everything.Then how you
will remember another person in this matter. You take care of yourself and get the
benefit of the grace in this matter.”
  Ali Khairi who began to regret too much and upon this Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi
told him that “ It is as per your luck that whether you will get permission or not
and you will be sent back with empty hands from the court of the kindness .”
     Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who wrote the text on the paper and put it under his
prayer mat and he was standing  on the prayer mat. And at the other side Ali Khairi
who in the condition of hope and despair. After the prayer, Sheikh Jalaluddin
Tabrizi, who has was unfolded the corner of the prayer mat and he was found the
following text of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani as follows.
 “ As he came from your side so I grant permission. If he will regret his deed, then
pray for him in his favour.” Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who has looked at Ali Khair
and he told him that “Congratulation, spiritual master has given permission in this
matter, but there is a condition that you will repent from your deed with which you
have made Darweshi as show.”
      Ali Khair while weeping, he said that “He will repent 1000 times from his sin
and by saying this he has caught the foot of Sheikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi. Sheikh
Jalaluddin Tabrizi, who has prayed in the weeping voice “ Oh merciful Allah
grants, charity of your higher-level attribute. The advice and grace which are in
your control and possession and have the respect of Ali’s good hope that who came
to me by thinking that I am your person. And cover his sins. And to wash ill will of
his mind and heart by the rain of your favour and kindness except you there is no
helper and a person who can contribute to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance
of an effort or purpose.”
  Still, now there was found, the echo of the phrases of Shaikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi
but by then Ali Khair who feel that he was out from the sea darkness to the light of
the sea. And his fear was no more with him. And there was a peace which was
found in his heart. The disease of overeating which was over with him. He  found
the way of the straightness from his lost way of the darkness. Afterward due to
special favour and attention of Shaikh Jalaluddin Tabrizi then Ali Khairi who was
becoming well known and famous with the name of Khaja Ali Khairi and he has
gained a higher level of status and position.
               
 34. The powers of the holy persons
  
Regarding excellence of spiritual, qualities of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani the whole of the world and time who were well known about it,
but Nasirddin Qabacha due to his helpless condition, he has not accepted his
miracles. One time in the month of Ramadhan he went into the presence of the
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and he has asked to him what  is 
a miracle.? And who told him that “The thing which is against the habit and which
is called in the language of the Sufism as a miracle. Then he  told him that “ For
example, the habit of fire is to burn and if the fire will not burn anything against its
habit, then there is the usage of the spiritual quality of that person in this matter
and due to  the effect of that person’s worship fire’s quality of burning was
changed in this matter.
Then Nasiruddin Qabacha told him that “How there were will be changed in the
quality of fire due to the spiritual act of any person.” So Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani told him that “There is more such effect in the worship of the man
and in the universe whatever is there which is as per the order of Allah. And from
his order, there will be burning of the fire in this matter. And which will be cool
down by his order. When the man who will cover all stages of the human worship
and who will attain willingness of Allah, then there will be given to him from the
side of nature the reward of spiritual power and which will have the power to cool
down burning, fire than water in this matter.”
 Nasiruddin Qabacha who was in a helpless condition due to his habit, so he has
told him that “Human nature does not accept this argument in this matter. As well
as he does not accept this matter”. So Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
told him by ignoring further discussion that “ I do not force anybody in this matter,
but it is a fact in this matter.”
  Nasiruddin Qabacha in a rude manner told him that “He did not accept the
miracle of any holy person and all these are a matter of the shop business in this
matter. The peer does not fly in the air, but it is the work of the disciple who flies
them in the air.”
   Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was becoming silent upon hearing
the baseless matters of the Nasiruddin Qabacha. Due to this reason he was feeling
difficulty in this matter. So, for this reason, there was created color of the
unpleasant on his face. But due to fulfilling of the custom of the hospitality he has
faced his rude behavior at that time in his place. When the rudeness which was
crossed its limits, then there was prevailed condition of majestic upon Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani  then he was addressing his rude guest as
follows.
“ Today you and all your courtiers will be breaking fasting with me.”
 Then he  called his servants in his presence and told them that “ Inform in all the
city, persons by beat of tom that Fakir Bahauddin will be breakfasting with all
persons and all fast keeping persons should live in their houses.”
   Nasiruddin Qabacha when he was heard announcement of Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani so he was becoming surprised and he has, seen his face
and he has asked to him that “Oh Shaikh you will breakfasting with us, but what is
meaning of this announcement in this matter.” Then so Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani told him that “ Wait for some time then Allah will reveal all
details.”
   At the time of fasting, Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was breaking
his fast along with Nasiruddin Qabacha and his courtiers. The ruler of the Multan
who was waiting such time and who told him by joking style with him that “ Oh
Shaikh why you have deceived the fasting persons in Multan.” Then So Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told him in the majestic style that “ Persons of
Allah who do not deceive anybody and now you will know what is a miracle and
who are holy persons of Allah.” Upon saying this Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani went to the mosque for Maghrib prayer. When the ruler of the Multan
inquires into the matter, then he was able to know the strange matter that Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has broken his fasting along with many
thousand persons in Multan.
  The holy persons of Allah who were given the power to bring the arrow from the
bow. 
 
           
35. Recitation of the Quran for 700 times 
 
    Once Qazi Hameedullah Hakim, who was busy in circumambulating in Holy
Kaba in Makkah and there was one holy person who was also engaged
in circumambulating there so I began following that person there. So I was putting
my foot where that holy person who was putting his foot. Sometimes this act which
was continued by me and after this, upon that holy who was able to know by his
revelation about my intention in this matter as he was a person's pure heart and
then he said: “ Oh the traveler of the love why you have followed my act of
manifest and why did you not following that special act which is done.”
    Qazi Hameedullah who has asked with that holy person what is that special act.
And that holy person told him that “ He is reciting the holy Quran for 700 times on
a daily basis.”
   Upon hearing this Qazi Hameedullah who was becoming silent and he began
thinking that holy person may be thinking about the meaning of the Quran
otherwise with a distinct recitation, reading of the Quran for 700 times on a daily
basis which is not possible even with superior power.
     Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya who has reported that the holy person who was there
was Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani.
 
 36. Sitting of a juggler on the saintly post
 
Once one person Abdullah Rumi, who came to Multan from the country of
Rome. In a short period of time, his miracles and supernatural habits were
becoming well known and famous in the Multan. 
When Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was known  about this event,
then he has told that “From where this juggler has come.? Then he has gone to see
him personally at his place of shrine building. When there was a fall look of
Abdulla Rumi then due to the horror he was standing there. Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani was, asked him “To sit and he was also sitting  there. And
after some formal discussion then he was told him that “ There are well known
your miracles and supernatural habits so for this reason, I have thought to have
benediction by seeing a person of Allah in this matter.” Upon this saying Shaikh
Abdalla Rumi,  who was much happier and Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani then told him that “ He wants to see how a person of Allah who will
perform the prayer.”
   Abdulla Rumi, who was standing  with the feeling of pride and he was seen that
there was much distance of his foot during his prayer. Then Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani who told by his lip movement that he was not able to
know the prayer that “ I know that there will be such thing and the person who is
well known and famous in Multan and who is unable to perform the prayer
correctly.”
   When Abdullah Rumi, who has performed the prayer, then Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani who told him in the loneliness that “ Oh, Shaikh what the
people of the look  will say about in this matter that your method of prayer is not
right in a manifest way.”
     Abdullah Rumi has seen towards him with surprise so Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani  explained to him his matter so, for this reason, Abdulla Rumi,
who was regret and ashamed in this matter and then he  told him that “ It is better
for you that you go to Ouch side.”Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
looked  to him with a look of the chemical action, then so, for this reason, that
imperfect person who was becoming a perfect person in this matter. And this was a
result of the chemical reaction of the eye of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani on this matter that Abdulla Rumi, who went to ouch and there was he was
passed all higher stages of mysticism and at last he was able to be sitting on the
post of saintliness for this reason.
 
 
                        37. Whose prayers are accepted by Allah
 
     In those days when Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was staying in
Bukhara and the beautiful city which was suffered by severe starvation. And due to
this reason, food supplies were becoming exhausted and the first animals began
dying for this reason, then came problems in the life of human beings. So they
have begun eating fruits of the jungle area, but all these trails were becoming
unsuccessful in this matter. Due to no rain, all trees were becoming dried up. If
somebody will get something for eating, then he will hide it and eat it by not
showing to his children for this reason. Due to the fear of starvation, the people
began selling their children. But nobody was not ready to buy them there. The
situation  became day by day most worse. The rivers and water tanks were
becoming dried up and so, for this reason, there was no name and sign of the water
there.
   Due to the endeavors of the learned persons who have prayed for rainfall. But
there was no passion in the mercy of the Allah there. Due to the prayer of the rain,
there will come many clouds in the sky. But they pass without any rainfall there.
There were started each and every side silence of the death. The local people who
have requested the learned persons of the Bukhara for the prayer of the rainfall.
But learned people who were worried and upset due to the prevailing situation.
Then some persons who have told to the learned persons of Bukhara that there is
staying here Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani so he may be requested in
this matter so that for the sake of his prayer we will be free from this problem in
this matter. At last, a large number of the people of Bukhara and under the
leadership of the learned persons who went into the presence of Sheikh Bahuddin
Ghouse Zikeria Multani and they have requested him in this matter to pray for rain.
So he told them that “ I am not eligible to such extent in this matter and as all of
you who are pious persons and when your prayers are not effective, then how the
prayer of this useless person which will be effective in this matter.” 
   The people thought his saying as a matter of sincerity and to keep away his edge
of the shirt and then they said to him that “Oh Shaikh we know that your prayers
are accepted by Allah. So why you did not pray in this matter.? And then Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani said to them ,“ This is your best thinking about
him otherwise I know well that what he is.? This is  the only favour and kindness
of Allah that who sat this imperfect person on the carpet of honour.” Then the
majority of the people began weeping and lamentation and said to him that “
Shaikh ask with that personality of merciful, for safety for these sinner persons.”
The condition of the Shaikh of Islam was changed and due to the condition of the
people of Bukhara, there was find harm and difficulty upon his face. He was busy
for a long period of time in thinking and then he said that “Now there is left only
one source so I will present that source in the court of Allah.” And upon saying this
he was standing and he said: “ You people accompany me to the mosque where we
all will present our humble request in the presence of our creator.”
   After this Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who went to the Jama
mosque along with learned and local persons than as per the advice of his, all
people have prayed two Rakat prayers there. Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani who  removed his cap from his head and he was looking at the sky.
Then he said “ Oh Allah this cap, which was put on his head by the Shaikh of
Shaikhs Hazrat Shahabuddin Umar Suherwardi by truth and sincerity and I have
accepted it by the benediction of the world and  the religion of the Islam with
sincerity accepted it. You fall rain for this sake.”
  Still the  echoes of the words of Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani which
were found in the atmosphere than at that time there heard the sound of the
thundering and all the sky which was full of clouds. Still, the people who could not
leave from Jama mosque heavy rainfall started. And the clouds who brought such
rain that Bukhara City and was the rain for this reason for seven days. In this way
due to  the  benediction of the cap of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
the thirstiness of the earth which was over. And the dangerous starvation also
overdue to which there was a possibility of the danger of the death of many
thousands of people in the Bukhara region.
 

38. The manifestation of the everlasting powers of nature

 
     From some persons who left for Multan to visit Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani and by chance they forget the way and were entered into a desert
place. Where they could not find any tree and its shadows as well, there were no
name and sign of the water stream at that place. They continued the journey
without any rest, but they could not find the way to come out of the desert and
even due to this reason they were suffering  badly from thirst-ness and excessive
heat and their tongues were become dried up for this reason. And in that condition,
they have looked at the sky and they began praying by weeping much in this matter
and prayed “ Oh Allah, we have left our homes to see your holy person and were
involved in this problem. Oh Allah for the sake of your holy person Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani to remove our difficulty in this matter.” Still,
their prayers were in progress, then one Darwish, who came there with a bottle of
water and from which all were drinking water and were becoming well in the
condition of consciousness, then they have asked that Darwesh person “Oh person
of Allah who is you and how do know our news in this matter.”
 Darwesh did not reply to this question and he has put the water bottle there and
he went away on one side. They have followed the Darwesh by running him there,
but after going some distance he was dis-appearing from there. So, for this reason,
they were worried and began thinking what was this and suddenly their look which
fell down on the way on which they have followed the Darwesh and they found
this way which goes straight to the city. And from this matter, their surprised
which was increased very much.
   Then the persons who have reached to Multan and reached in the service of
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and upon seeing him, then there was
feeling much surprised upon them so for this reason they began thinking about-
face of the Darwesh person and some time they look at the face of the Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani. When Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani has watched their reluctance,  then he was told them that “There are the
manifestation of the everlasting powers of nature and if any person when he will
look the mercy of the Allah in a physical way with his eyes of the manifestation,
then he should keep this secret in his chest for this reason.”
   Those devotees, for this reason, we're able to know that the Darwesh person who
brought water for them in the desert is the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria
Multani and those people who keep closed their tongues in this matter as per the
advice of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and upon
acquiring favour from their Shaikh they have returned back to Baghdad.

39.The cure  of the dangerous disease of the leprosy

 
 When Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani has arrived in Samarqand during
his travel and tourism and where he has found one group of patients of leprosy
diseases in the separate area from the city and habitation and who were living in
the cave. And one-day Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who went to the
cave. And due to the illness of leprosy the people of the city who did no used to go
near the cave for this reason. When he has reached near the cave so for this reason
all patients were surprised in this matter. And they have come out side of the cave.
And all were gathered around him in this matter.They have thought that he is not a
general person otherwise he will not come near to them. So for this reason when
they have seen him then they began weeping and said that “ The people of the
world have been left us and not come with us outside and as well as not allow us to
see them.”
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani has told them that “ What do you need
from him.”
 Those patients of leprosy by weeping said to him that “ We need your prayers.”
Then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani told them “ Why did not you pray
for yourself in this matter. You are disappointed with the grace of Allah and have
come to the cave.” The patients of leprosy by weeping said to him that “Our
prayers were not accepted by Allah.” So upon hearing a reply of the leprosy
patients Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who went to the water tank and
have done ablution and he has prayed in the court of Allah in their favour as
follows “ Oh my creator Allah, except your court there is not another court here. If
I will not submit the problem of these helpless and deprived persons where they
will go on the other door in this matter. They may be lacking in or deprived of
strength or power, but your mercy which will be always upper hand on your anger.
And for the sake of your such great mercy forgive them in this matter.”
  The prayer of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was accepted in the
court of Allah. And he was, told them to go to the water tank and have a bath in
the name of Allah and you will be recovered  from this leprosy illness completely.”
  Those leprosy patients who used to have a bath from that water tank but did
not get the cure before the prayer of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
but now such water in the tank which has become water of cure due to the prayer
of the Shaikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and bodies of the patients which
were becoming as clean and uncontaminated that they were not suffered in such
dangerous leprosy illness.
 
 
                           40.The occurrence of the love
 

  Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Surq Bukhari who belongs to the cold area. But in the
opposite of it, he was tolerated severe heat of the Multan with much happiness in
this matter.One day there were no wind movement and the season was very much 
close or sultry weather  condition.
  Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Surq Bukhari who came out of the room and his body
was full of perspiration for this reason.In that condition of uneasiness, there was
left of his mouth one cold sigh in this matter and he said: “ Oh hailstorms of
Bukhara we could not find such cold.”
At that time Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who came out of his room
and he was asked his servants to clean and fold the prayer mats there. So all his
servants who were surprised in this matter because before Zuhar prayer he was
not given the order to clean and fold the prayer mats. So, for this reason, there were
engaged in the work as per  the order given by the Shaikh.At that time sun was
shining with much brightness in the yellow sky. Then at that time suddenly one
piece of cloud came from the eastern side and covered over the shrine building.
And then immediately it began thundering at the same time. As well as there  was
thunder clap there and after some time the rainfall was started and also there were
falling hails in size of the egg of hen there. In a short time the courtyard which
was full of the ice pellets. The people who were suffering from much heat, but due
to the scene of the mercy of Allah all servants and Darwesh persons who was
happy in this matter. The people from far and near who ran towards the shrine
building. There was another thing which was surprised in this matter that in Multan
there was shining sunlight there. But the black cloud which was falling on the
shrine building. The people who have collected those ice pellets as a benediction
and taken to their houses. The servants and Darwesh persons who have tasted those
ice pellets. And Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Surq Bukhari who has collected ice pellets
in his pots.
     Before prayer time the rainfall was started and then again sun shining was
spread in the sky. The servants spread again prayer mats. Moazzan (Muazzin - the
Muslim official of a mosque who summons the faithful to prayer from a minaret
five times a day) has shouted prayer call in this matter. Sometime before the prayer
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani came out of his room and Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin Surq Bukhari who was sitting in the first row by putting his head down.
And Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has seen him and smiled and
said to him that “ Syed Jalal where hailstorms of Multan are better than ice pellets
of Bukhara.” Hazrat Syed Jalaluddin Surq Bukhari who stood in respect of his
spiritual master and he said by much devotion that “ Hailstorms of Multan are
thousand times better than ice pellets of Bukhara.”
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was smiling,  then he was
engaged in the prayer. This is the name of the occurrence of love. On that day
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani was given a saintly dress to Hazrat Syed
Jalaluddin Surq Bukhari.

41.The status of the darweshi (saintliness)

 
   The Sultan of saintly guides Hazrat Khaja Nizamuddin who said that “Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who has covered 70,000 status of the darweshi.
And in such a position, he was making  his endeavours at, the perfection level. And
he has with him such power of spiritual that if he will look at the sky, then at that
time he can observe there without a veil. If he will look at the earth, then he can
look at all things at neither region in this matter. Even such things Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who used to say that the status of the darweshi 
(stainliness ) is higher than ahead of it. But this is one of the lower statuses of the
mysticism.
                 
                            

42. The love and Shaikh of Islam

 
   The Sultan of saintly guides Hazrat Khaja Nizamuddin who said with reference
of  the one holy person of Multan that “ Once he was present in the service of
Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and at that time he was under
overpowering of the passion of the love and so he was prostrating there many
times. During the time of the prostration, the following phrases were being said
with his tongue that “Love came inside, then it has thrown all outside except it and
till such that it was removed our sign.” As per sayings which were of the holy
persons I have counted his prostration which is total 400 exactly in the number.
And he has repeated this phrase in his each and every prostration.
The experiences of the love: Hazrat Khaja Farid Uddin, who has informed that
“Once there was meeting of the, holy person in the Jama Mosque in Damascus,
which was organized there and the discussion about the love which was progress,
in this matter there. And in that meeting, Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani
was also present. And I was sitting near him. And in that meeting every person
who was saying about his condition in this matter. When the turn of Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani came then while explaining the condition of his
love and he said that “Friends in the love the experiences of each person which will
be separated from other persons. But the love of the reality is that Arif  (one having
an intimate knowledge of God )who should not see others except Allah,heaven,
hell, punishment, reward, wealth, inheritance, and all these things with the persons
of the reality .” And still he was told this then there was prevailed condition of the
surprise of the love upon him and he was standing  and upon his tongue quatrain in
the Persian language which came and its translation and interpretation is as
follows.
“ One who has recognized You then what he will do with his soul. What he will
do with his wife, children, and his house.You have made him your slave and You
have given him two worlds, then for this reason what will do with the worlds.”
  Hazrat Baba Farid Uddin Ganj Shaker who said “Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani who used to repeat many times this quatrain and he began dancing
in the meeting in the condition of the uneasiness. Due to this reason, there was
prevailed such condition in the persons of the meeting that the hidden ignition of
the love which was increased and caught flame for this reason so they also began
dancing in this matter in the condition of the uneasiness.”
  From this event, it is known that how there is such passion of love with him. And
there was such passion which was found in his  veins  and fibres that so, for this
reason, his condition which will be changed in this matter and then he will be
unaware of his situation for this reason. Then at that time, he will not be in the state
to know about the prevailing the condition and  the circumstance of afflicted with 
the people who will be found in the meeting place for this reason.
Engrossment in the memory of the friend: Hazrat Baba Farid Uddin Ganj
Shaker who said that “Once he was in the mosque in Baghdad along with Sheikh
Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and at that time some more holy persons who
were present there.During the discussion there came the topic of the love and each
and every holy person who said about the love in this matter. And during this
discussion one holy person who said that “ The love is the kingdom and its capital
is fondness and on the thrown in the hands of the willingness there is the branch of
Nergis (Narcissus) tree of the realization and upon it, there is the guard of the
sword of separation and dagger of the parting. If any lover who will go there then
there will be an attack of the sword and dagger on him in this matter. And if
anybody who will get a meeting for one moment, then at that time there will be a
revelation of many thousand secrets from that sword and dagger. So friends one
who has wealth of love, then if his neck will be cut for 1000 times, then he will not
even utter a cry of pain.”
   Upon hearing the saying of the holy persons then Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani who has taken a cold sigh for this reason. And he  recited the
following quatrain in a very sad voice and  the meaning and interpretation of it are
as follows.
  “One friend I am so much engrossed in your love that if there will be attacks of
many thousand swords upon me then even in that condition I will not raise my
head in this matter. In the morning when I will take   a sigh in your memory and
for which, if I will be given the two worlds then God forbid I will not be selling
them.”     
  When Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani began reciting this quatrain then
conditioned of the persons in the meeting, which was changed like wounded
cocks and like unseen love which has filled in their bodies with injuries. In this
matter, it should know that Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani who was
such lover so, for this reason, it is difficult to able to know and guess and which is
not possible by any person in this matter.One who will put his step in the valley of
the love and even he will not be indifference  in this matter. The grief of love is
such grief which  does not allow anybody to do any work for this reason. And its
temperature, which is a pain which is continuous and its cry is there for always.In
the love unless and until lover which will be not happier when there will be no
award of the permanent meeting from the side of the beloved. The rule of
satisfaction and happiness which will be applicable both in the love of reality and
worldly. As in the love of the reality the sight and nearness of the beloved which is
attached to the condition of the day judgment. So, for this reason, the traveler on
this way will be in the condition of uneasiness always in this matter. The
uneasiness of the Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani which will be known
from his condition of the manifest in this matter. And he was living on one side in
grand palace residency and on the other side, he, will burn in a silent way and he
was in the condition of the uneasiness like moth who will be ready always to burn
on the  the lamp.
Condition of absorption and intoxication: Hazrat Baba Farid Uddin Ganj Shaker
who said that “Once he was with Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse Zikeria Multani and
then at that time there was prevailed condition of absorption and intoxication and
in that condition, he said “ Friends when there will be sighs which will be out of
the lover of the reality than with the fire of the love all worlds will be burnt down.
Because there will be no fire which will be stronger than the fire of love.”
    Hazrat Baba Farid Uddin Ganj Shaker who said that “Sheikh Bahuddin Ghouse
Zikeria Multani who used repeatedly this  quatrain then he will be drowned in the
sea of the surprise. And such condition which was prevailed upon him for a period
of one month.”
