PREFACE
The most popular Sufi Saint, Sultan Bahoo has aptly named this
book as Aqal-e-Baydar (The Enlightenment of Wisdom).
Though all his books enlighten the seekers of Allah and guide
common Muslims towards the Divine path that leads towards
vision of Allah and presence of Mohammadan Assembly but this
particular book contains such light that illuminates the soul. The
divine philosophy presented in this book is rarely discussed in
any other book of Sufism. However, to understand it, one must
be guided by the perfect spiritual guide who possesses the power
to open the doors of esoteric world.
Translating Persian books of such an exalted Saint is an honour
conferred upon me by my perfect spiritual guide, Sultan-ul-
Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rahman, who is also the
spiritual heir of Sultan Bahoo. It owes only to him that I could
comprehend such deep and divine philosophy and present it in
English as per my cognition. Many a times I had to turn to him
for understanding a complex concept. I feel it essential to
mention that literal translation of words of Sultan Bahoo is
impossible. He uses such a beautiful blend of prose and poetry
that cannot be transmitted in any other language. Sometimes he
uses a single word having multiple meanings in a sentence
multiple times so aptly that the sentence gives multiple
meanings. Maintaining the same articulateness is not in my
capacity. I have just tried to convey the spirit of the words and
the basic message.
For translation of Aqal-e-Baydar, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan
Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman provided three Persian scripts to
my fellow disciple Mrs. Fatimah Burhan Sarwari Qadri who
deduced a comprehensive script after consulting all three scripts
and I proofread it. Sultan Mohammad Ahsan Ali Sarwari Qadri
9
is translating the same script in Urdu. The scripts provided by
our spiritual guide are;
MANUSCRIPT BY;
1- Shahbaz-e-Arifan Pir Sayyid Bahadur Ali Shah Kazmi Al-
Mashhadi1
, written in Ramadan, 1340 AH.
PUBLISHED SCRIPTS;
1- Persian script with Urdu translation by Dr. K.B Naseem
published in January, 1999 AD.
2- Persian script with Urdu translation by Saad Ameer Khan
Niazi, first edition published in 2008 AD.
The book in hand is the first ever English translation of Aqal-e-
Baydar.
I hereby take the opportunity to thank Mrs. Fatimah Burhan for
providing me her deduced Persian script and Mohammad Rashid
Gulzar Sarwari Qadri for composing it. I am also thankful to
Sultan Mohammad Ahsan Ali Sarwari Qadri for putting great
effort in composing all the impressions (naqsh) present in the
book.
May Allah accept our efforts and make this book a source of
guidance for all the seekers of Allah on their path to Allah.

Pir Sayyid Bahadur Ali Shah (1801-1934 AD/1216-1352 AH) is the spiritual leader of
Sarwari Qadri order and is blessed with grand treasure of Faqr directly from Sultan
Bahoo. He stayed at the shrine of Sultan Bahoo for forty years and during that stay
compiled the manuscripts of his books. The mentioned manuscript is one of those.
SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF
SULTAN BAHOO
Sultan-ul-Arifeen Sultan Bahoo was born on Thursday, 1st
of
Jumada ath-thani in 1039 AH (17 January, 1630 AD) at dawn,
in the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Shorkot, District
Jhang, Pakistan (then India). He belonged to the Awan tribe of
the progeny of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Awans are Ali‟s children from
wives other than Fatima bint Mohammad. Sultan Bahoo‟s father
Bazayd Mohammad was a soldier by profession and a titleholder
in Shah Jahan‟s army. His mother, Bibi Rasti was a Saint. She
was spiritually informed of Sultan Bahoo‟s grandeur and
spiritual status before his birth and according to his status of
annihilation in Hoo2
, his name Bahoo (one with Hoo‫ھو‬) was
revealed to her. Sultan Bahoo says:
‫اہند‬ ؒ‫و‬ ُ
‫ابھ‬ ‫امدر‬ ؒ‫و‬ ُ
‫ابھ‬ ‫انل‬
‫اہند‬ ‫و‬ ُ
‫ھ‬ ‫اب‬ ‫دایمئ‬ ؒ‫و‬ ُ
‫ابھ‬ ‫زاہکن‬
Explanation: Bahoo‟s mother named him Bahoo because Bahoo
has always remained with Hoo‫ھو‬.
Sultan Bahoo was a Saint by birth. He remained engrossed in
heavenly experiences and doubtless revelations from his early
age. Sultan Bahoo gained his early mystic education from his
mother. A non-Muslim would immediately recite shahada and
accept Islam if his eyes fell upon the luminous face of Sultan
Bahoo, such was the intensity of Divine theophanies radiating
from him.
2
The Divine Essence
11
Sultan Bahoo states in his books, “I searched for a spiritual guide
for thirty years but in vain”. It was because he already held such
elevated levels of Faqr where access of anyone is extremely
arduous. Sultan Bahoo relates one of his revelations in his books
that one day, engrossed in Allah‟s vision, he was wandering in
the suburbs of Shorkot when Ali ibn Abi Talib came and took
him to the Mohammadan Assembly where the People of Cloak,
the Rashidun Caliphs and Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani were also
present. There, Sultan Bahoo took oath of allegiance at the
sacred hand of Prophet Mohammad who entrusted him to Shaikh
Abdul Qadir Jilani for further spiritual guidance. That is why
Sultan Bahoo always refers Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani as his
spiritual guide in his books. He says, “When al-Ghawth al-Azam
Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani blessed me spiritually, I surpassed all
the spiritual levels from eternal beginning till the eternal end.”
Afterwards, following the orders of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani,
Sultan Bahoo took oath of allegiance at the hand of Shaikh
Abdul Rehman Jilani Dehlvi who entrusted the Divine Trust of
Faqr to Sultan Bahoo in just a single meeting.
The splendour of Sultan Bahoo is beyond anyone‟s perception.
He is blessed with the extremities of Faqr and stationed at the
status of Sultan-ul-Faqr V. He says, “Since the eternal
benevolence has graced me with grandeur, Prophet Mohammad
sall’Allahu alayhi wa’alihi wasallam has ordered me to guide
everyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, fortunate or unfortunate, dead
or alive and he has titled me Mustafa Sani and Mujtaba Aakhir
Zamani with his pearl divulging tongue.” (Risala Roohi Sharif)
The spiritual order of Sultan Bahoo is Sarwari Qadri order.
Qadri order reaches up till Prophet Mohammad through Shaikh
Abdul Qadir Jilani. There are two offshoots of Qadri order;
Zahidi Qadri and Sarwari Qadri. Sultan Bahoo declares only
Sarwari Qadri order the proper and real Qadri order. He says:
12
 Qadri order has two offshoots; Sarwari Qadri and Zahidi
Qadri. Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide has perfect command
over contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. When he blesses the
seeker with the spiritual education and Divine guidance
through Ism-e-Allah Zaat, he grants him the status equal to
his own on the very first day. The seeker becomes indifferent
and independent of all needs, his attention remains focused
only on the Truth. Hence gold and soil become equal for
him. On the contrary, the follower of Zahidi Qadri order has
to devote at least twelve years to very hard mystic struggles,
so much so that his stomach remains empty. After twelve
years he becomes eligible to be present before Shaikh Abdul
Qadir Jilani and attains the status of a majdhub devotee
while the status of a Sarwari Qadri is that of a beloved
devotee. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
He describes the status of Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide and
devotees in these words:
 What is the initial level of Sarwari Qadri? It is that the
perfect Qadri spiritual guide drowns the true seeker of Allah
in Divine light of gnosis and grants him presence of
Mohammadan Assembly just by his glance, the contemplation
of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, the invocation of shahada or by his
spiritual attention. This is the first day lesson of Qadri
followers. The guide who neither knows this lesson nor takes
his disciples to the holy assembly is not the perfect Qadri
spiritual guide. His state of ecstasy is just his vain thought.
The true Qadri disciples are eternally drowned in the Divine
light of gnosis and union with Allah. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
Sultan Bahoo himself holds this status. He says:
‫ربل‬ ‫دل‬ ‫کی‬ ‫ااہتن‬ ‫ات‬ ‫ادتبا‬ ‫ز‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫رہ‬
‫احرضل‬ ‫نم‬ ‫وبد‬ ‫قح‬ ِ‫اطبل‬
‫ابدخا‬ ‫ك‬ّ‫و‬‫ا‬ ِ‫ز‬‫رو‬ ‫راسمن‬ ‫ات‬ !‫ایب‬ ‫اطبل‬ !‫ایب‬ ‫اطبل‬ !‫ایب‬ ‫اطبل‬
13
Explanation: For every true seeker of Allah I render my
guidance. I can take him from the initial stage of the spiritual
journey to the final and supreme level in just a moment. Come to
me! Come to me! Come to me O seeker of Allah! I can take you
to Allah on the very first day. (Risala Roohi Sharif)
Sultan Bahoo could not avail the opportunity to receive formal
academic education because he was ever absorbed in the deep
ocean of Divine Unity, even then he has authored 140 books. All
of his books are in Persian except the collection of his poetry
which is in the form of Punjabi quatrains.
Sultan Bahoo‟s books are masterpiece of Divine knowledge. He
proclaims that if anyone could not find a spiritual guide, his
books will prove to be a medium for him to reach the perfect
Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide who will take him to Allah.
Sultan Bahoo‟s writing style is very simple and easy to
understand even for a less educated person. However, at some
places where he mentions the Divine secrets, his diction becomes
complicated. Nevertheless, his writings are so persuasive and
influential that they envelop the reader completely. If his books
are read respectfully after ablution, an ocean of spiritual
beneficence pours down to the reader. If the reader continues
reading them with complete faith and true intention, he will be
guided towards the perfect Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide who is
the real spiritual successor of Sultan Bahoo in the contemporary
age.

Sultan Bahoo has not used the conventional terms of Sufism or
Mysticism for his teachings, rather he calls them „Faqr‟. Faqr is
the spiritual way which leads to the Divine knowledge and vision
of Allah. In all his books, he lays emphasis on travelling the path
15
of Faqr under the guidance of Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide. He
declares the invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat
the key to ultimate sanctity and purgation of soul after which the
soul is blessed with the vision of Allah and presence in the
Mohammadan Assembly which are the most elevated spiritual
stations.
Sultan Bahoo says in his books that despite all his efforts he
could not find a truly capable seeker of Allah to whom he could
entrust the Divine Trust of Faqr for the future guidance of
seekers. Hence, on the 1st
of Jumada ath-thani in 1102 AH (1st
March, 1691 AD) he passed away without transferring the Trust
to anyone. Afterwards Sultan Bahoo entrusted it spiritually to
Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah Madni Jilani. The shrine of
Sultan Bahoo is in Jhang, Pakistan. His death anniversary is held
on the first Thursday of Jumada ath-thani.3
After Sultan Bahoo, the Sarwari Qadri order is continued as:
 Sultan-ul-Tarikeen Sultan Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah
Shah Madni Jilani
 Sultan-ul-Sabireen Sultan Pir Mohammad Abdul Ghafoor
Shah Hashmi Qureshi
 Shahbaz-e-Arifaan Sultan Pir Sayyid Mohammad Bahadur
Ali Shah Kazmi al-Mashhadi
 Sultan-ul-Auliya Sultan Mohammad Abdul Aziz
 Sultan-ul-Faqr VI Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali
 Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman

Meaning: And the exalted Messenger came to them. (He said)
“Hand over to me the slaves of Allah. Verily, I am the trusted
Messenger for your guidance and leadership.” (44:17-18)
Prophet Mohammad is adorned with the grandeur of ultimate
nearness to Allah, the distance of two bow length (qab qausain).
He is annihilated completely in Allah at the station of no station
and is the chosen one whose essence is the light of Divine
presence. Peace and salutations upon him, his Companions and
the People of Cloak.
The writer of this book, which is not a compilation, says that it
contains the treasures of authority upon the alchemy of gold and
silver of entire world which liberates one of all needs. It has the
ultimate Divine favour to be blessed with closeness of Allah,
Divine observations, jamiat and verified Miraj. It leads its
sincere reader towards the Divine vision and presence of
Mohammadan Assembly, the specialty of spiritual path, where
he is honoured with eternal company of the souls of all Prophets,
Messengers, Saints and Sufis. Hence they become his
companions and guides on the way to righteousness. Whoever
doubts it and denies the gnosis of Allah divulged in this book,
belongs to the community of liars.
Men of mysticism and dominant Saints who are accomplished
in gnosis of Reality hold such ranks that they can cover infinite
stations of the part and whole and reach boundless levels in just a
blink of an eye by the power of their knowledge and the Divine
18
presence gained by Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Their ranks are in fact
beyond perception. Allah says about them:

‫ض‬َ‫ر‬
(
119
:

)
Meaning: Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with
Him. (5:119)
Their secret is Allah‟s secret, their essence is Allah‟s Essence
and their will is Allah‟s will hence they are the entity for the
Divine name. The mystery of knowledge of Guarded Tablet is
revealed upon them by the benediction of knowledge of Divine
name „Allah‟ and they gain entire knowledge of part and whole
by reading the Tablet. In Qadri4
order reading the Tablet by the
blessing of Ism-e-Allah Zaat is the first day lesson of a beginner
seeker. Afterwards he does not need to gain any kind of
conventional knowledge. This is the level of Divine lover who is
annihilated in Allah and has nothing but Allah in his inward.
Such a lover is the beloved of Allah. Wherever he sees, he
observes non-creation Divine lights. This is the spiritual way of
inscribing Ism-e-Allah Zaat on the body which confers closeness
of Allah, Divine union and Oneness on the very first day,
however this is the path of tests and trials. The perfect ones
bestow all the levels by the blessing of their powerful sight. They
can turn a king into beggar and elevate a beggar to the rank of a
king by the order and permission of the Holy Prophet.
I am blessed with persuasion and guidance from the Holy
Prophet through the medium and intercession of Ali ibn Abi
Talib razi Allah anhu and I am the strong disciple of Shaikh
Abdul Qadir Jilani. Whoever doubts it, is a wretched one.
You must know that reading the book of a perfect Saint
devotedly affects and benefits the reader so much that he
becomes enlightened without any effort and is spontaneously

order.

blessed with Divine presence. However reading the book of an
imperfect leads nowhere. This book is exactly the compassion of
Allah and blesses the seekers of Allah with His beneficence
because it is from Allah and leads to Allah.

Explanation: Whoever beholds Him, recognizes the Truth. My
body is in this world but the soul is at the station of no station.
This book is a work on Sufism. Sufism cleanses the inward
from everything other than Allah. In the path of Sufism,
contemplation of Lord blesses with Divine presence, authority
upon the spirits in graves, powerful attention due to the closeness
of Allah, verified annihilation in Allah and its reflection as well
as comprehensive jamiat which grants companionship of Allah.
Hence, the seeker is liberated from the catastrophes coming in
the spiritual path. This path begins with the gnosis of realm of

inspiration and becomes the Mystic who beholds Allah and
perpetually remains present in the Mohammadan Assembly as a

humble slave. Bahoo is also a follower of Qadri order and every
cell of his body keeps invoking Ya-Hoo. He has annihilated in
Allah without passing through the spiritual states of contraction
and expansion, intoxication and sobriety, and remains immersed
in Hoo being absolved of all absurdities. He is spiritually
enlightened, his alive inward radiates the hidden theophanies of
Divine light and he vigilantly remains attentive towards the
vision of Allah. This is called the knowledge of spiritual
substitution. Allah says:

Bahoo is annihilated in Allah since eternity, he bestows the
beneficence upon the Mystics and shows them the way. The
writer of this book, Fakir Bahoo, son of Bazayd Mohammad
belongs to the Awan5
tribe and is the resident of Qila Shor (May
Allah save it from tribulations and troubles). He is a humble
slave of Prophet Mohammad and by his grace he has immersed
in the ocean of Oneness without emulation. Like a diver he takes
out pearls of gnosis from the ocean.
Wise is the one who is firstly the seeker of Allah and then the
disciple of Holy Prophet. He always complies with Allah and
Quran while is against the world, self and Satan. Whenever he
faces an issue, he presents his plea in the court of sharia.
Whatever sharia orders is truth so he follows it and whatever
sharia forbids is false so he leaves that. What are the orders of
sharia? Turn towards the gnosis of Allah, drown in the closeness
and vision of Allah, renounce the world, separate yourself from
people and immerse in Allah. Whoever comes towards Allah,
prevents himself from the desires of self. Just open your inner
eyes and observe the Divine lights.

I have named this book Aqal-e-Baydar (The Enlightenment of
Wisdom) as it is a book for the people of wisdom. I have also
titled it as Shams-ul-Ashiqeen (The sun for the lovers of Allah)
and the book which removes all sorrows of the reader and makes
him a Saint with no desires. It is considered a beneficent script as
it benefits all groups of people like the blessing of rain or a
continuous resource of compassion. It reveals undoubted hidden
secrets and blesses its reader with authority upon the treasure of
ghanayat, alchemy of elixir of Divine guidance, elixir of
spiritual sight as well as authority upon infinite worldly wealth,
gold and silver. If by reading this book, one neither gains gnosis
of Allah and union of Divine beauty with jamiat nor becomes
fortunate and humble rather remains worried due to poverty,
hunger and instability and keeps begging at every door then he
himself is responsible for this wretched condition.

There are two ways of gaining guidance directly from presence
and closeness of Allah; reciting Dawat at the shrines during
which one hears the words of guidance and secondly by the light
of contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Allah says:

)
Meaning: (So it) is light upon light. Allah takes to His light
whom He wills. (35:24)
The perfect spiritual guide and accomplished seeker of Allah
raise beyond the levels of invocation, reflection, spiritual frenzy,
recitals, unveiling and miracles and reach the station of secret of
Divine covenant. Whoever reaches this level, becomes a Fakir
having no desires. Fakir is blessed with so much power and
favour from Allah that the kingdom of seven climes from the
east to the west is under his command. However he never
accepts monarchy because he considers the worldly ranks
transitory. To achieve the rank of a monarch is not at all difficult
for the perfect Fakir, even he can grant it easily to others by the
attention of his powerful sight.
The perfect spiritual guide first of all confers upon his true
seekers seventy-seven ways of verified skill of alchemy of elixir.
Only that seeker is eligible for this who has become one with the
spiritual guide. Acquainting an imperfect seeker with such skills
is a big mistake. The seekers who have got sated with the skill of
alchemy remain humble and not in any condition ask for
anything or turn away from the gnosis, closeness and union of
Allah. The entire guidance lies in ghanayat and it has five levels;
ghanayat of self, ghanayat of inward, ghanayat of soul,
ghanayat of secret (inner part) and ghanayat of the light which is
called totality of jamiat and is absolute closeness of Allah. When
a seeker is blessed with ghanayat along with Divine guidance,
all the undesirable characteristics like greed and covetousness
are removed from his existence. His physical senses are
23
dominated by the spiritual senses. Hence it should be understood
that the seeker who does not approach the level of ghanayat,
keeps complaining to Allah about Faqr. Thus remains deprived
of Allah‟s gnosis and closeness being embarrassed. So ghanayat
precedes guidance. When the perfect spiritual guide blesses his
special true seeker with his attention and persuasion through
Ism-e-Allah Zaat and grants him authority upon the spiritual
treasures as well as power of verification, eventually he raises
the seeker‟s level equal to his own. He converts seeker‟s
existence into light by absorption in Divine beauty and at once
grants him Divine presence. Only that seeker deserves these
favours who regards their worth and is loyal, pure, respectful and
modest. Such a seeker is gharib whose being is pure of every
wrong. The spiritual guide fulfils all his objectives in just a
moment without putting him in struggle and he attains closeness
of Allah in an instant or one day and night or a week, a month or
a year. If a seeker is emulator, greedy, verbose, boaster, liar or
does not have right faith then the spiritual guide keeps him
involved in excessive endeavours because his self has got
haughty due to ascetic struggles and such ones do not know the
worth of gnosis of Allah. They are materialistic, egoistic and
engrossed in desires of their self hence are unaware of the
bestowal of day of Divine covenant. When you see a person who
exhausts himself in outward devotions but is oblivious of his
esoteric being and gnosis of Allah then understand that he is lost
in the depraving jungle of unveiling and miracles and uses them
to solve issues of people. He has no knowledge of the elevated
rank of chosen ones even if he can observe the spectacle of entire
universe and is aware of each and every corner. It is easy for the
perfect spiritual guide to confer all the physical and spiritual
ranks upon the true seeker in a blink of an eye. Nothing is
difficult for the perfect one. Fakir is the soul of the universe. His
being is the manifestation of special light, the reality of entire
cosmos is visible to him and he can unveil the hidden. Do not
24
find it strange as the Mystic Fakir is a vigilant observer. One
attains this level of the chosen Faqr and becomes a compassionate
Mystic on the conditions that his inward is purified, he readily
accepts the truth, achieves Divine union following the straight
path and has authority upon all kinds of alchemy. The seven
kinds of alchemy of elixir that are the key for certainty and
jamiat are;
1- Alchemy of elixir of granting any skill.
2- Knowledge of dawat which is alchemy of fragmentation.
3- Knowledge of Quran which is alchemy of finding Ism-e-
Azam from its verses.
4- Knowledge of alchemy of enlightenment.
5- Knowledge of alchemy of effective sight and attention.
6- Knowledge of alchemy of gaining universal ranks in just a
week by having authority upon every kingdom from east to
west and the seven climes.
7- Knowledge of alchemy of acquiring the attributes of patience,
gratitude, modesty and submission which annihilate the self
and enliven the inward. Hence the soul immerses in the
ocean of light and becomes immortal and the seeker is blessed
with Divine vision and presence whenever he wishes.
The spiritual guide who grants authority upon these seven
kinds of alchemy to the seeker on the very first day by imparting
the knowledge of alchemy, gets absolved of the right of the
seeker. It is obligatory upon the spiritual guide to favour the
seeker, rather it is mandatory for both of them to favour each
other. Only such a powerful spiritual guide is eligible for guiding
on the right path otherwise is just a nuisance. These seven kinds
of alchemy are the reward of certainty. The disciples of a
powerless spiritual guide remain faithless, lack certainty and
seek the carrion world day and night begging at every door. The
successors of such guide are also cursed reprobates. The practitioner
of veritable alchemy trusts Allah completely and all the angels
25
are his obedient. Perfect Fakir is the enlightened possessor of
knowledge of alchemy. He is the man of sight like Khidr and can
turn earthen clods into gold and silver. Such a powerful sight is
like philosopher‟s stone. For the man of sight who possesses this
power, soil and gold are equal. Do not be proud if you reach this
level because it is far from the gnosis and Oneness of Allah. The
great Saints Rabia of Basra and Bayazid Bastami never accepted
it. Acquainting a novice seeker with knowledge of alchemy and
allowing him to practice it is a virtuous deed because indigence
and poverty create apprehensions, satanic whispers and illusions
which may destroy him. However the man of pure soul is
contended and always present in the Mohammadan Assembly.
Even if such a true seeker of Allah practises alchemy then it is
only to help the deserving people, orphans, prisoners and to
spend upon the true scholars, jurists, Saints, Ghawth, Qutb and
Dervishes. Whatever one shall sow in this world, so shall he reap
in the hereafter. It is a concealed generosity and charity in the
way of Allah that is absolutely a rewarding deed.
It is mandatory for the spiritual guide to bestow upon his true
seeker the command upon all the treasures of Allah in order to
eliminate effects of greed, jealousy, covetousness and sorrows
from his existence which result from extreme poverty. Thereafter,
the seeker lives luxuriously and gets sustenance without effort,
hence does not seek financial help from the king. The spiritual
guide must bestow these treasures within five days or at the most
one week. From these five treasures ensue fifty thousand kinds
of command upon immeasurable treasures. Granting such levels
to the seeker is not at all difficult for the perfect spiritual guide.
A spiritual guide must first of all understand the obligations of
his rank. There are prerequisites for a disciple and seeker as well.
What are these prerequisites and what is expected from a true
seeker? The obligation of a spiritual guide is to bless the seeker
with presence in the Mohammadan Assembly from where he
gets commands from the Holy Prophet. While the seeker must
26
sacrifice his life and all his possessions for the spiritual guide
and should not desire anything in return. Such a seeker reaches
the level of Rabia of Basra and Bayazid Bastami. The spiritual
guide should give persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and the seeker
must have faith in it. Faith is established on observing the Divine
presence with one‟s own eyes. One who cannot elevate his
disciples to this level, is not aware of the obligations of a
spiritual guide. If the disciple is not gaining faith in his spiritual
guide then the guide should show him the Guarded Tablet so that
his faith in the guide is established till the Day of Judgment.
Even then if the seeker does not trust the spiritual guide then the
guide should present him in the Mohammadan Assembly by his
spiritual attention. The Holy Prophet will himself persuade the
seeker and bless him with certainty that will last till the
doomsday. There are many so-called spiritual guides who are
like barbers and numerous disciples who are imperfect. Which is
the knowledge and wisdom that brings every part and whole,
special and common, physical and spiritual rank under the
command of the seeker instantly and he accomplishes in Faqr
becoming the ruler? It is the domain of the Fakir who is master
of the worlds and empowered with;

These are the levels of all-seeing Mystics. How could the
animal-like humans know such ranks of men of Essence! All
kinds of knowledge, treasures of alchemy, esoteric closeness and
presence before the Eternal are gained by the power of light of
contemplation and practice of reciting dawat at the shrines of
Saints. The perfect spiritual guide makes the existence of his true
seeker more magnanimous and vaster than the fourteen spheres
of earth and skies by his powerful sight. However it is very
difficult for a timid seeker to bear this because it is the
persuasion of Divine presence during which theophanies of light
27
of Divine vision radiate from closeness of Allah that disintegrate
the existence of an imperfect seeker into fragments. So much
grand is the Trust of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, only he knows who bears
it. Allah says:

(33:72)
Through which knowledge one can recognize the perfect
spiritual guide? If the perfect spiritual guide gives Divine
persuasion to an ignorant, he makes him an excellent scholar as
he has authority upon the entire knowledge and all the scholars.
This knowledge is blessed only to the Mystics and lovers of
Allah who will keep transferring it onwards till the doomsday.
They transfer the entire knowledge in just a moment directly
from heart to heart, attention to attention, presence to presence,
closeness to closeness, authority to authority, inward to inward,
soul to soul, secret to secret and from tongue to tongue. These
fortunate ones observe the spectacle of both the worlds on their
palm and acquire the knowledge written on Guarded Tablet then
describe it by their tongue. Hence they read the unread and know
the unknown. It is just the primary lesson of the true seeker of
Allah. If the perfect spiritual guide inwardly gives persuasion of
the knowledge of verification, gnosis and Oneness of Allah to an
excellent scholar, he will lose his power of speech and cannot
teach outward knowledge by his tongue. If the perfect spiritual
guide gives Divine persuasion to a king, the kingdom like that of
Solomon and Alexander come under his command from one
corner of the earth to the other and everyone whether common or
28
special becomes his obedient. Sign of a perfect spiritual guide is
that he has no desires. Those who sell themselves to fulfil their
desires by showing miracles and become arrogant and conceited
upon it, cannot be considered spiritual guides. Their Faqr is
compulsive and following Persian proverb is rightly said about
them;

is desirable in the court of Allah. Only the one who is forgiven

When perfect man of dawat or his accomplished disciple starts
reciting dawat with verses of Quran, souls of all the Prophets,
Messengers, Sufis, Saints, Ghawth, Qutb, true believers and all
those holding spiritual ranks, whether dead or alive, come and
shake hands with him and converse with him hence he becomes
acquainted with all of them. He is the great rider who never fears
reciting dawat while riding the grave. True reciter of dawat
29
achieves this level on the very first day. There are two consequences
of dawat; the perfect one gains treasures just in the beginning
while the imperfect gets demoted and dies with pain.
EXPLANATION OF DAWAT
Dawat is like an unsheathed sword that kills all the infidels in the
world with one strike. Do not consider it strange, you must trust
the holy verses of Quran. The perfect one holds this sword in his
hand like the Zulfiqar6
and kills the pernicious infidels. Whereas
the imperfect one just waves the sword in the air. Wherever he
turns or whatever he sees during dawat, causes him demotion
and he ruins himself. Wise is the one who identifies the perfect
and the imperfect from their knowledge and practices. The
perfect one and his seekers do not relinquish eating meat (for
accomplishing in dawat or any other spiritual act), neither do
they need to give charity for it or set enclosure for safety nor do
they depend on auspicious and ominous timings or astrology.
The imperfect always faces demotion and remains wretched.
Relinquishing the meat of those animals which Allah has
allowed to eat is the custom of cursed infidels who are people of
hell. The perfect man of dawat can eat whatever he wishes as his
food turns to light, his sleep takes him to observation of Divine
presence, his tongue is always invoking Allah, his inward is the
archetype of Kaaba and his soul is blissful due to passion and
closeness of Allah.

The sacred sword of Ali ibn Abi Talib given by the Holy Prophet with which he won all
the battles.
30
Explanation: Gushing water reaches the river itself without any
guidance. When one‟s passion becomes his guide, no other guide
is needed.
Dawat takes the perfect man of dawat to the closeness and
presence of Allah from where he gets inspirations and right
answers. Hence why would he need to request the angels to bring
messages! Some people are imperfect in reciting dawat because
they have got its permission from an imperfect guide. Some have
got permission from the perfect spiritual guide but are imperfect
in delivering it while some are perfectly eligible to deliver it but
have got the permission from imperfect guide. Only a few are
those who are permitted to deliver dawat by the perfect spiritual
guide as well as are accomplished in reciting it. What is the
ultimacy of Faqr? It is to annihilate in Allah and acquire His
perpetual company by the power of attention and verified
contemplation. Listen! One moment‟s attention of the perfect
Fakir is far better than reciting dawat thousand times, possessing
gold and silver, having a large army, gaining wisdom or
invoking, reflecting and meditating infinite times. He extends his
attention from the station of Divine presence and closeness
which keeps on progressing day by day and never ceases till the
doomsday. This is the power of Fakir who watches everything
visibly. He reads the unread knowledge, knows the unknown and
tells the unheard.
Allah possesses the hidden knowledge and He imparts this
knowledge to His chosen men Himself. Like the intuitive
knowledge in which reasoning arises in the inward and one
comes to know a hidden fact, or some are delivered messages
through inspirations from Divine closeness. This path is the
bestowal of Holy Prophet. Only the dead-hearted reprobates
deny it as they are the seekers of carrion world and its ranks.
31
EXPLANATION OF CERTAINTY
Certainty is the light of faith which lies in Divine persuasion and
is the eternal bestowal. The persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat
enlightens the existence like the sun. Whomsoever is blessed
with it, beholds Allah unveiled. If one is asked whether he has
beheld Allah or not and he answers that he has, then definitely he
has not beheld Allah. Beholding Allah with the eyes of creation
is not possible. Thus how can Allah be beheld? Whomsoever
Allah decides to bless with His vision, annihilates him in
Himself, hence his existence converts into light and he reaches
the station of no station which is non-creation. This level is
attained by the contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat as the name of
Allah takes to Allah and grants His vision that cannot be
exemplified with anything. Whoever beholds Allah in this
unprecedented way, his status is beyond perception and his states
are beyond the general states of creation. One who reaches this
level, gains certainty by the persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and
companionship of Prophet Mohammad. Then life and death
become equal for him. This is the station about which the Holy
Prophet said;


‫ت‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫م‬
Meaning: No doubt! The Saints of Allah never die.
Whoever attains to certainty, instantly achieves Divine union
while the one deprived of certainty achieves nothing. There are
two kinds of certainty; one is the certainty of idol worshippers,
infidels and pagans who are the people of hell and their certainty
is meant to escape the true religion. Other is the certainty
regarding affirmation of ِ‫ہ‬

‫الل‬‫ا‬
َّ
‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ّٰ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬‫ٓا‬َ‫ل‬ (There is no God
32
but Allah, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah). Verified
certainty is that which a man of verification attains through
Divine persuasion. This kind of certainty is firm like a mountain,
neither it shakes nor wavers or tumbles. Certainty is an attribute
and form of Faqr which helps the humble seekers. It is called the
sultan of Faqr. One whose existence is adorned with certainty,
elevates from the level of faithlessness.
What is the difference between scholars and Fakirs? The
intoxication of knowledge provokes egotism and frenzy in the
scholars and they become self-conceited while the Fakirs forego
their self being dominated by the intoxication and passion for
Allah. They ever remain with Allah and achieve all their
objectives. This level is also attained by the persuasion of
certainty. Whoever reads this book till the end with devotion,
will become true Muslim even if he was earlier an infidel, Jew or
a Christian. If a dead-hearted person will read it, his inward will
be enlivened and he will reach Divine presence gaining insight
and getting rid of polytheism, infidelity and spite.
Further explanation of certainty is that it is a knowledge rather
real knowledge is gained through certainty. The knowledge
gained through certainty makes one enlightened by raising all the
veils and leads towards gnosis and Oneness of Allah. Certainty is
Divine light, certainty is Divine presence and certainty is the
observation of Divine vision. Certainty is another name for
ghanayat and closeness of Allah from where one receives
inspirations. Just leave the name and be separated from everyone
to engross in the gnosis of Allah and annihilate yourself in truth
of certainty. So that you reach the Truth, speak the truth, know
the reality of truth, recognize the truth and deliver the truth. One
who reaches the Truth, falsehood and satanic apprehensions are
completely eliminated from his existence. Truth of certainty is
the level where one recognizes one‟s status and keeps
accountability of self. This level is attained by the Mystics.
33
Bahoo is named so because he is always with Hoo. He is
immersed in Oneness of Allah and beholds Him directly. The
knowledge of certainty is different from the knowledge of
persuasion and sainthood. Is certainty superior to persuasion or
vice versa? The answer is that both are essential for a Mystic like
sight is to eye. What is acquired through knowledge of certainty
and what does one gain through knowledge of persuasion?
Knowledge of persuasion grants the favour of Divine attention
and contemplation of Divine light while the knowledge of
certainty bestows closeness of Allah and verily makes one
independent of desires. Moreover, knowledge of persuasion of
Ism-e-Allah Zaat elevates one to Miraj. Both kinds of knowledge
gained through certainty and persuasion are the key to reach
Divine Oneness and depict the Divine name Ya-Fattah (The
Opener). In Qadri order, the perfect spiritual guide is the solver
of all problems, opener of all locks and bestower of Divine
vision. He grants both kinds of knowledge to his true seeker on
the very first day. Certainty is discovering, certainty is
determination, certainty is required to believe what is heard by
ears, seen by eyes and read by the tongue. Certainty is the
clothing of faith and faith is the soul of certainty. One who gains
the knowledge of certainty, gets absolved of struggles and forty
days seclusion for his entire life.

Certainty cannot be attained by the affirmation of tongue,
outward knowledge or reading books. It requires inward
verification which is not possible unless a seeker achieves
Divine union and beholds Allah unveiled gaining the secret
knowledge which is not acquired through outward knowledge.
Renounce the pleasures and desires of self and elevate beyond
four levels i.e. four stages of self7
or the four spiritual stations8
or
the four elements; soil, water, air and fire. The Fakir who
elevates beyond these four levels, reaches the Divine light.

Explanation: The men of sight are always attentive towards Allah.
I have attained this level by the blessing of the Holy Prophet.
Divine love and vision are the real Miraj. However, seeker of
Allah is blessed with Miraj on the destined time even if he is
stationed at the rank of great Saint Maroof Karkhi. The seeker
who starts his spiritual journey with the veritable inscribing
practice of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, eventually attains Divine union.
Hence, eternal beginning and end become the same for him. When
Divinity manifests in the inward, some seekers gain Divine
presence while some seekers‟ inward becomes replete with light,
some know it while some do not. It is better to know but not
claim. When the seeker is accomplished, all worries end. The
scholar whose knowledge arouses his self and its desires, is like a
snake. Whereas the scholar whose knowledge permeates his
inward and soul and he practises upon it, is the vigilant scholar
eligible for Divine vision. Such a scholar surpasses the levels of
knowledge and becomes a Divine scholar and Saint after
38
annihilating himself in Allah. Eventually he drowns in Oneness
by the invocation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and is entitled as a Fakir and
a Saint like Bayazid Bastami. The denier of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and
Ism-e-Mohammad is Abu Jahl the second or Pharaoh. Who do
you think you are? Just like it is difficult for an infidel to recite
shahada, similarly it is tough for a dead-hearted person to follow
Sufism that enlivens the inward, embarrasses the self and grants
vision to the soul. Sufism carries one towards Allah, blesses with
verified vision and makes one disgusted of pleasures of self. Just
reading the books can never bless with Divine union rather it is
utterly a veil between man and Allah. The imperfect spiritual
guide only keeps his disciples engaged in invocations, reflections
and other struggles like recitals and forty days seclusion. The
perfect spiritual guide grants total authority upon the treasures of
gnosis and presence on the very first day.
‫زدنیگ‬ ‫دك‬ ‫رعمتف‬ ‫وضحری‬ ‫اب‬
‫رو‬ ‫وضحری‬ ‫یب‬
‫رشدنمیگ‬ ‫ایسہ‬
Explanation: Inward is enlivened by gnosis and Divine presence.
Without presence life is just embarrassment.
Being a spiritual guide is not easy because a seeker is headstrong
like frenzied elephant and it is very difficult for the spiritual
guide to bind such a seeker with himself. The spiritual guide
should be powerful like a mahout so that he could drive the
seeker in any direction. If the seeker is like a fox and the spiritual
guide is like a jackal then their union is meant only to gain
ascension in the carrion world. If the seeker is like a lion and the
spiritual guide is like the lion-keeper, they prey bravely and
never incline towards the carrion. However, if the spiritual guide
is like a falcon but the seeker is like a crow then they cannot stay
in each other‟s company. Keep in mind! Advising a fool only
results in an argument. The perfect spiritual guide is also the
Divine scholar who reveals the solution of all mazes upon the
39
seeker, bestows the Divine vision and breaks the thaumaturgy of
existence by the power of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. This level is the
secret of faith and the destiny of Mystics, Fakirs and Saints.
Without the attention of perfect spiritual guide the seeker cannot
attain to any destination even if he spends his entire life in
mystic endeavours or keeps adopting forty days seclusion,
nothing will benefit him. Get to know that the human being is
manifestation of light. When the light of Allah fully manifests in
a person, his every word comes from the Divine court. This is
the station about which it is said:

ِ
‫ن‬ّٰ‫م‬ْ‫ح‬َّ‫الر‬ ُ
‫ف‬ْ‫ی‬َ‫س‬ِٔ;َ‫ر‬
َ
‫غ‬
ُ
‫ف‬
ْ
‫ال‬ ُ‫ان‬َ‫ِس‬‫ل‬
Meaning: Tongue of Fakirs is the sword of the Compassionate.9
One whose existence manifests the Mohammadan light, his
every word is the light of Mohammad. This is the station of
annihilation in Prophet Mohammad. One whose being becomes
the perfect manifestation of light of spiritual guide, his every
word is the word of his spiritual guide and this is the level of
annihilation in the spiritual guide. This is the Divine knowledge
which is the destiny of Mystics, lovers and those blessed with
union of Allah. The scholars of outward knowledge are unaware
of this knowledge because their proficiency is limited to
understanding the issues and essence of jurisprudence. Gnosis of
Allah is achieved only by following the path of Faqr which is
the pride of Prophet Mohammad. Whoever feels pride over
worldly assets, has the characteristics of Pharaoh. Which
characteristics do you have? Inciting self is like a snake which
comes out of its hole on casting the spell and gets trapped. The
spell to gain control over the self is to go against it and keep it
accountable justly. One who does not know to cast the spell is
foolish if he tries to catch the snake. The person bitten by the
snake of self can never be cured and at last dies by its sting.

Attributive name of Allah, ar-Rahman.

I am surprised at the people who keep reciting the Quran or
discussing its exegesis and Hadiths but their inner self is
devilish. This devil cannot be gotten rid of unless Divine
persuasion is gained from the perfect spiritual guide who is the
Fakir scholar. The excellent scholars are like the disciples of a
Fakir and such a Fakir scholar rules the world. What is the
ultimacy of Faqr? When a Fakir converses, he in fact converses
to Allah or the Holy Prophet or other Prophets and Saints or the
angels and his word is for all the men of Allah. Do not find it
strange or deny it as Sultan Bayazid Bastami said, “I have been
talking to Allah for thirty years, people have been misunderstanding
that I am talking to them.” Contemplation and inscribing practice
of Ism-e-Allah Zaat purify the existence of the seeker on the very
first day to such an extent that he does not need to perform any
kind of mystic struggle for his entire life. The seeker is put to
struggle just for his trial. The perfect spiritual guide bestows the
closeness of Allah on the very first day by disclosing the secret.
He reveals the Divine observations and blesses with jamiat.

mirror, actually laughs at himself.

The enemy of Fakir surely has one of the three characteristics;
either he is a dead-hearted jealous scholar who is verbose but
ignorant of inward verification or a liar, hypocrite and polytheist
or he is the seeker of world who would not get any place in
paradise. Perfect Fakir is the one who does not separate from the
Mohammadan Assembly even for a moment. One who is
deprived of perpetual presence of the Mohammadan Assembly
can neither be called a Fakir nor a Dervish. What rank does a
Dervish hold? He can read the Guarded Tablet any time through
the esoteric knowledge. What is the sign of the scholars of
exoteric knowledge who are considered the heirs of Prophets?
Their knowledge should become a medium for them to have the
privilege of beholding and meeting the Holy Prophet every night
or the night of Friday or once a month or at least once a year.
The scholar who is not blessed with the vision, union and
presence of the Holy Prophet, his knowledge does not affect or
benefit his existence. Such a scholar is the beast of burden. He
eventually becomes a cruel and venal who is harmful and
irksome for everyone. If all the scholars, jurists, relators of
Hadiths, exegetes, ascetics, worshippers, pious, practitioners and
the sages living on the earth or in dead state under the soil are
gathered along with all the jinns and angels, they altogether
cannot be equal to even the initial level of a Fakir who is man of
concentration. His concentration shows him the spectacle of both
the worlds on his nail. Hadith:

remains present in the Mohammadan Assembly and is the friend
of the Holy Prophet. He is ranked at the station of a gharib and
miskeen Fakir. Miskeen is defined as the one who has food for
one day only and that too he spends in the way of Allah. Gharib
is the one whose being is pure of every filth, falsehood and
wrath. The Fakir ever remains under the sight of the Holy
Prophet because he is the Prophet‟s beloved. Allah says:

Meaning: And (also recall the event) when Abraham said, “My
Lord, show me how you bring the dead to life”. Allah said, “Do
you not have faith?” He submitted, “Why not! (I do believe), but
(I wish) my heart is blessed with gratifying calm”. Allah ordained,
“Well, take four birds and tame them to feel attached to you;
then (slaughter them and) place a piece of each of them on each
hill, then call them. They will come to you at high speed. And
know that surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.” (2:260)

According to Sultan Bahoo‟s teachings, the four birds metaphorically refer to the cock
of lust, pigeon of sensual desires, peacock of apparent beauty and the crow of greed.

On the path of Faqr messages are sent to and received from

whenever he wishes through the esoteric way of contemplation
of Ism-e-Allah Zaat or of authority upon the souls. At which
stage of Faqr a seeker is recognized as a Fakir? When he is
annihilated in Allah, he attains the station of Faqr. Then he gains
the power to enliven the dead inward till the doomsday by the
invocation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and salvages the alive inward
from major and minor sins. The possessors of alive inward never
commit a sin. Other than them there are a lot of people about

man? He is skilled to overcome difficulties. He is loyal,
sacrificing and a true friend who neither makes verbal claims nor
runs after bread. Furthermore, he is the invoker of Ism-e-Allah
Zaat. Though every bird invokes the name of Allah but the
perfect invoker is one who gains Divine presence through it.

SUPERIORITY OF QADRI ORDER
For the perfect spiritual guide of Qadri order, illiterate and
literate seekers are equal, likewise fortunate and unfortunate
seekers are the same. Being the near one to Allah, he has
command over every kind of knowledge and fortune. He can
change the destiny written on the Guarded Tablet and can
convert ominous into auspicious and vice versa. Do not consider
it strange. Endeavours are the food for a perfect Qadri seeker
and his sleep takes him to Divine presence and grant
observations. Beware and be wise! In the Qadri order spies from
other orders intrude like a thief. They are the devils who try to
mislead its followers. A true Qadri disciple finds everything
from the Qadri order. If a follower of this order inclines towards
any other order or keeps goodwill for it, he turns reprobate and
his ranks are seized. His inward remains dead till the doomsday.
47
How can a Qadri follower be distinguished from the followers of
other orders? A Qadri disciple attains to Divine Oneness without
effort while followers of other orders are mostly emulators. The
perfect Fakir of Qadri order gains the key to success in all
ventures on the very first day. O Qadri follower! May Allah
bless you with goodness in both the worlds! Only Allah!
Everything other than Allah is lust.
Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, the leader of all spiritual guides,
stays with his seekers and disciples like soul is in the body. They
are his spiritual progeny. If the seeker is virtuous, he keeps him
under his shelter but if he is a sinner then he keeps him under his
scrutiny. Swear by God and His Prophet! Shaikh Abdul Qadir
Jilani never separates from his disciples in any condition or state,
whatever they speak or do, till the Last Day. Rather on the
doomsday as well he will keep them in his shelter. Allah has
promised to the Holy Prophet such forgiveness for the disciples
of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani that none of them will go to hell. If
any hypocrite or liar who is jealous of them denies it, he will be
deprived and expelled from the paradise. If any of his followers
considers him away from himself then how can such a person
call himself his follower! Whenever any seeker calls him during
a trouble for help with faith and sincerity and recites:

Meaning: O sacred soul of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani! Bless me
with your presence along with the angels and pure souls who are
the reality and the eternal.
Then recites the shahada thrice and strikes on the inward with
spiritual absorption and wrath upon the self. Undoubtedly, on the
third strike Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani comes to him either with
his physical body which the seeker can see with his physical
eyes or comes with his esoteric existence which the seeker
beholds with his inner eyes that can see everything visibly or he
48
comes with his spiritual existence which the seeker can see with
his eyes of awareness or comes with his secret existence that can
be seen with insight or comes with his existence of light that can
be seen with the eyes of light. He surely blesses with his
presence and meets some seekers physically while converses
with some through waham, some through inspiration, some
through reasoning, some through thoughts and some through
messages or grants union to some seekers. Everyone who truly
becomes his disciple, follower and spiritual progeny, attains
Divine union and reaches the level of a special Saint. The Saints
do not die rather they gain eternal life by the benediction of Ism-
e-Allah Zaat. For the Saints, physical death means salvation
from the reproach of people. The Holy Prophet said:

Command upon all kinds of knowledge, all jinns, humans and
angels can be gained by dawat recited on the shrines and it is
bestowed upon the Mystics who are men of contemplation and
Divine presence. Do you know everyone whether common or
special takes the name of Allah and recites Ism-e-Allah every
day but does not know its essence, that is why they remain
deprived of the delight of gnosis and closeness of Allah. The
perfect spiritual guide reveals the essence of Ism-e-Allah Zaat by
his persuasion and fulfils all the objectives of the seeker through
it. Wise spiritual guide is the one who bestows four authorities
upon the seeker so that he never becomes worried or perplexed.
The Fakir independent of all needs is dominant upon all Saints
and superior to the kings. Neither he needs nor requests anyone.
Among the four authorities, first is authority upon ilm-e-dawat
recited on the shrines. The Holy Prophet said;

ِ‫ع‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫اس‬
َ
‫ف‬ِ‫ر‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫م‬

‫ا‬ ْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬‫ا‬ْ‫و‬
ُ
‫ن‬
ِ‫ر‬
Meaning: When you are confused (or worried) about your affairs,
just seek help from the dwellers of the shrines.
The seeker who accomplishes in ilm-e-dawat, gains all authorities
forever. However, it is obligatory upon the seeker to keep his
self under control. One who spends his life in gaining religious
knowledge and also practises upon it, eventually becomes the
perfect Fakir. The foundation of this path is closeness and union
of Allah. It is not at all related to worldly honour which is gained
by selling oneself due to the egoistic inciting self which keeps
the inward indulged in sins day and night.
50
Listen my dear! One word reveals the entire knowledge
contained in thousand books but the knowledge of that word
cannot be contained in any book as it is Divine. Knowledge of
that word is given to the Mystics who are eternally forgiven. No
one can dare before these men of word. The word of secret is
different from the word of attributes and the word of Essence is
different from both. What do you know about the word? In fact
you know nothing. That word is related to eternal Divine
presence. Its cognition is acquired through the inspirational
knowledge and its beneficence is an eternal favour. Earning
lawfully, speaking truthfully and observing Divine presence
grants this favour. Reaching the ultimate levels of gnosis,
presence, closeness and union of Allah is the absolute favour. As
mentioned in the Quran:

‫الل‬ِ‫ب‬‫ا‬
(
11:88
)
Meaning: And I am favoured by none but Allah. (11:88)
The basis of this path is knowledge, an ignorant cannot travel it.
‫بلط‬ ‫قح‬ ‫از‬ ‫ملع‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫لقع‬ ‫رتا‬ ‫رگ‬
‫گس‬ ‫لثم‬ ‫و‬ ‫رخس‬ ‫و‬ ‫وخک‬ ‫اجالہم‬
Explanation: If you are wise, seek knowledge from Allah. The
ignorant are like a pig, bear or a dog.
There are three kinds of knowledge; the knowledge of Bedouin
poets, knowledge of scholars and the knowledge of Sufis, Fakirs
and Saints which is the gnosis of Oneness. The knowledge of
poets is based on eloquence and wisdom and gained through
consciousness. The scholars, jurists, exegetes, and Hadith
relators gain knowledge by reading books and use it for
discussions, arguments and dialogues. Whereas the Fakirs, Sufis,
Mystics and Saints gain knowledge directly from closeness and
presence of Allah-the Eternal. The conventional knowledge,
51
rituals, reading and writing the books, poetry and consciousness
can neither take to the station of Divine presence nor grant its
awareness. Beware and be wise! Everything other than Allah
creates apprehensions. Obliterate it from your inward! Let me
tell you about the presence gained through Ism-e-Allah Zaat. It is
the treasure of beneficence of Allah which He bestows upon His
true seekers without their struggle. It turns unfortunates into
fortunate ones and fulfils all the wishes of seekers of Allah by
His order and through the essence of shahada ‫ٓا‬َ‫ل‬
ّّٰ
‫الل‬‫ا‬
َّ
‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ّٰ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬
ُ‫ل‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫س‬
َّ‫ر‬ ٌ‫د‬
َّ‫م‬َ‫ح‬ُ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬
ِ‫ہ‬
ّّٰ
‫الل‬. Whoever recites shahada sincerely, the hellfire is forbidden
upon him while the faith, heaven, compassion and mercy incline
towards him and love him. He accomplishes jamiat and gains
authority upon all the treasures as well as upon the destiny
regarding sustenance. He is empowered so much because he is
the true reciter of shahada and all the powers, treasures, eternal
destiny and beneficence are in the core of shahada and Ism-e-
Allah Zaat. The perfect spiritual guide reveals the core of
shahada by his spiritual attention upon the true seeker and also
shows him all the powers, treasures and his destiny. Because,
shahada is the truth, from the Truth and grants the truth along
with gnosis of Allah. It is the honour of Allah and from Allah.
A wretched, unfortunate and unwise person will not like this
book. It contains treasure of Divine knowledge for the fortunate
ones. The Fakir grants its verification, bestows all treasures and
blesses with Divine vision. A wise man will gain these blessings
but an unwise will remain stuck in his desires of wealth and
fame. This script is a touchstone for the scholars, jurists, Fakirs,
Mystics and Saints as it elevates to the higher levels of Divine
guidance and gnosis and confers presence in the Mohammadan
Assembly by the grace of Allah. One who reads it repeatedly day
and night, becomes independent of all needs in the world and the
hereafter.

Explanation: It contains the knowledge of alchemy of elixir and
augmentation. Proficiency in this knowledge makes one generous.
Some people gain wisdom after being advised by others, they
are like beggars. However the Saints of Allah are blessed with
knowledge and wisdom directly from Allah without any advises,
it is called total wisdom. Such a Fakir is ruler upon every part
and whole. Whereas a scholar reads books just to gain
information which cannot prevent him from greed and
covetousness even if he keeps discussing the exegesis. The Holy
Prophet said:

Meaning: There is catastrophe in everything and the catastrophe

That is why the seeker should first gain the knowledge of
ghanayat as well as authority upon the alchemy of skill and
alchemy of sight, then guide others. Intimating the special seeker
53
with the knowledge of alchemy is a rewarding deed but giving
this knowledge to an incapable seeker is a big mistake. Whoever
imparts it to an unwise person, is himself responsible for his
decline and disastrous consequences. Fakir is the one who can
exercise every authority proficiently, is perfect in every
contemplation, accomplished in every kind of attention and
reflection. He must be comprehensive of all the levels and pure
of covetousness.

  • 9. PREFACE The most popular Sufi Saint, Sultan Bahoo has aptly named this book as Aqal-e-Baydar (The Enlightenment of Wisdom). Though all his books enlighten the seekers of Allah and guide common Muslims towards the Divine path that leads towards vision of Allah and presence of Mohammadan Assembly but this particular book contains such light that illuminates the soul. The divine philosophy presented in this book is rarely discussed in any other book of Sufism. However, to understand it, one must be guided by the perfect spiritual guide who possesses the power to open the doors of esoteric world. Translating Persian books of such an exalted Saint is an honour conferred upon me by my perfect spiritual guide, Sultan-ul- Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rahman, who is also the spiritual heir of Sultan Bahoo. It owes only to him that I could comprehend such deep and divine philosophy and present it in English as per my cognition. Many a times I had to turn to him for understanding a complex concept. I feel it essential to mention that literal translation of words of Sultan Bahoo is impossible. He uses such a beautiful blend of prose and poetry that cannot be transmitted in any other language. Sometimes he uses a single word having multiple meanings in a sentence multiple times so aptly that the sentence gives multiple meanings. Maintaining the same articulateness is not in my capacity. I have just tried to convey the spirit of the words and the basic message. For translation of Aqal-e-Baydar, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman provided three Persian scripts to my fellow disciple Mrs. Fatimah Burhan Sarwari Qadri who deduced a comprehensive script after consulting all three scripts and I proofread it. Sultan Mohammad Ahsan Ali Sarwari Qadri
  • 10. 9 is translating the same script in Urdu. The scripts provided by our spiritual guide are; MANUSCRIPT BY; 1- Shahbaz-e-Arifan Pir Sayyid Bahadur Ali Shah Kazmi Al- Mashhadi1 , written in Ramadan, 1340 AH. PUBLISHED SCRIPTS; 1- Persian script with Urdu translation by Dr. K.B Naseem published in January, 1999 AD. 2- Persian script with Urdu translation by Saad Ameer Khan Niazi, first edition published in 2008 AD. The book in hand is the first ever English translation of Aqal-e- Baydar. I hereby take the opportunity to thank Mrs. Fatimah Burhan for providing me her deduced Persian script and Mohammad Rashid Gulzar Sarwari Qadri for composing it. I am also thankful to Sultan Mohammad Ahsan Ali Sarwari Qadri for putting great effort in composing all the impressions (naqsh) present in the book. May Allah accept our efforts and make this book a source of guidance for all the seekers of Allah on their path to Allah. Ameen Lahore Mrs. Ambreen Moghees Sarwari Qadri August, 2023 M.A. Mass Communication University of The Punjab 1 Pir Sayyid Bahadur Ali Shah (1801-1934 AD/1216-1352 AH) is the spiritual leader of Sarwari Qadri order and is blessed with grand treasure of Faqr directly from Sultan Bahoo. He stayed at the shrine of Sultan Bahoo for forty years and during that stay compiled the manuscripts of his books. The mentioned manuscript is one of those.
  • 11. SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF SULTAN BAHOO Sultan-ul-Arifeen Sultan Bahoo was born on Thursday, 1st of Jumada ath-thani in 1039 AH (17 January, 1630 AD) at dawn, in the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in Shorkot, District Jhang, Pakistan (then India). He belonged to the Awan tribe of the progeny of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Awans are Ali‟s children from wives other than Fatima bint Mohammad. Sultan Bahoo‟s father Bazayd Mohammad was a soldier by profession and a titleholder in Shah Jahan‟s army. His mother, Bibi Rasti was a Saint. She was spiritually informed of Sultan Bahoo‟s grandeur and spiritual status before his birth and according to his status of annihilation in Hoo2 , his name Bahoo (one with Hoo‫ھو‬) was revealed to her. Sultan Bahoo says: ‫اہند‬ ؒ‫و‬ ُ ‫ابھ‬ ‫امدر‬ ؒ‫و‬ ُ ‫ابھ‬ ‫انل‬ ‫اہند‬ ‫و‬ ُ ‫ھ‬ ‫اب‬ ‫دایمئ‬ ؒ‫و‬ ُ ‫ابھ‬ ‫زاہکن‬ Explanation: Bahoo‟s mother named him Bahoo because Bahoo has always remained with Hoo‫ھو‬. Sultan Bahoo was a Saint by birth. He remained engrossed in heavenly experiences and doubtless revelations from his early age. Sultan Bahoo gained his early mystic education from his mother. A non-Muslim would immediately recite shahada and accept Islam if his eyes fell upon the luminous face of Sultan Bahoo, such was the intensity of Divine theophanies radiating from him. 2 The Divine Essence
  • 12. 11 Sultan Bahoo states in his books, “I searched for a spiritual guide for thirty years but in vain”. It was because he already held such elevated levels of Faqr where access of anyone is extremely arduous. Sultan Bahoo relates one of his revelations in his books that one day, engrossed in Allah‟s vision, he was wandering in the suburbs of Shorkot when Ali ibn Abi Talib came and took him to the Mohammadan Assembly where the People of Cloak, the Rashidun Caliphs and Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani were also present. There, Sultan Bahoo took oath of allegiance at the sacred hand of Prophet Mohammad who entrusted him to Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani for further spiritual guidance. That is why Sultan Bahoo always refers Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani as his spiritual guide in his books. He says, “When al-Ghawth al-Azam Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani blessed me spiritually, I surpassed all the spiritual levels from eternal beginning till the eternal end.” Afterwards, following the orders of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Sultan Bahoo took oath of allegiance at the hand of Shaikh Abdul Rehman Jilani Dehlvi who entrusted the Divine Trust of Faqr to Sultan Bahoo in just a single meeting. The splendour of Sultan Bahoo is beyond anyone‟s perception. He is blessed with the extremities of Faqr and stationed at the status of Sultan-ul-Faqr V. He says, “Since the eternal benevolence has graced me with grandeur, Prophet Mohammad sall’Allahu alayhi wa’alihi wasallam has ordered me to guide everyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, fortunate or unfortunate, dead or alive and he has titled me Mustafa Sani and Mujtaba Aakhir Zamani with his pearl divulging tongue.” (Risala Roohi Sharif) The spiritual order of Sultan Bahoo is Sarwari Qadri order. Qadri order reaches up till Prophet Mohammad through Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. There are two offshoots of Qadri order; Zahidi Qadri and Sarwari Qadri. Sultan Bahoo declares only Sarwari Qadri order the proper and real Qadri order. He says:
  • 13. 12  Qadri order has two offshoots; Sarwari Qadri and Zahidi Qadri. Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide has perfect command over contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. When he blesses the seeker with the spiritual education and Divine guidance through Ism-e-Allah Zaat, he grants him the status equal to his own on the very first day. The seeker becomes indifferent and independent of all needs, his attention remains focused only on the Truth. Hence gold and soil become equal for him. On the contrary, the follower of Zahidi Qadri order has to devote at least twelve years to very hard mystic struggles, so much so that his stomach remains empty. After twelve years he becomes eligible to be present before Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani and attains the status of a majdhub devotee while the status of a Sarwari Qadri is that of a beloved devotee. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan) He describes the status of Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide and devotees in these words:  What is the initial level of Sarwari Qadri? It is that the perfect Qadri spiritual guide drowns the true seeker of Allah in Divine light of gnosis and grants him presence of Mohammadan Assembly just by his glance, the contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, the invocation of shahada or by his spiritual attention. This is the first day lesson of Qadri followers. The guide who neither knows this lesson nor takes his disciples to the holy assembly is not the perfect Qadri spiritual guide. His state of ecstasy is just his vain thought. The true Qadri disciples are eternally drowned in the Divine light of gnosis and union with Allah. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan) Sultan Bahoo himself holds this status. He says: ‫ربل‬ ‫دل‬ ‫کی‬ ‫ااہتن‬ ‫ات‬ ‫ادتبا‬ ‫ز‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫رہ‬ ‫احرضل‬ ‫نم‬ ‫وبد‬ ‫قح‬ ِ‫اطبل‬ ‫ابدخا‬ ‫ك‬ّ‫و‬‫ا‬ ِ‫ز‬‫رو‬ ‫راسمن‬ ‫ات‬ !‫ایب‬ ‫اطبل‬ !‫ایب‬ ‫اطبل‬ !‫ایب‬ ‫اطبل‬
  • 14. 13 Explanation: For every true seeker of Allah I render my guidance. I can take him from the initial stage of the spiritual journey to the final and supreme level in just a moment. Come to me! Come to me! Come to me O seeker of Allah! I can take you to Allah on the very first day. (Risala Roohi Sharif) Sultan Bahoo could not avail the opportunity to receive formal academic education because he was ever absorbed in the deep ocean of Divine Unity, even then he has authored 140 books. All of his books are in Persian except the collection of his poetry which is in the form of Punjabi quatrains. Sultan Bahoo‟s books are masterpiece of Divine knowledge. He proclaims that if anyone could not find a spiritual guide, his books will prove to be a medium for him to reach the perfect Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide who will take him to Allah. Sultan Bahoo‟s writing style is very simple and easy to understand even for a less educated person. However, at some places where he mentions the Divine secrets, his diction becomes complicated. Nevertheless, his writings are so persuasive and influential that they envelop the reader completely.

Faqr is the spiritual way which leads to the Divine knowledge and vision of Allah. In all his books, he lays emphasis on travelling the path
  • 16. 15 of Faqr under the guidance of Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide. He declares the invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat the key to ultimate sanctity and purgation of soul after which the soul is blessed with the vision of Allah and presence in the Mohammadan Assembly which are the most elevated spiritual stations. Sultan Bahoo says in his books that despite all his efforts he could not find a truly capable seeker of Allah to whom he could entrust the Divine Trust of Faqr for the future guidance of seekers. Hence, on the 1st of Jumada ath-thani in 1102 AH (1st March, 1691 AD) he passed away without transferring the Trust to anyone. Afterwards Sultan Bahoo entrusted it spiritually to Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah Madni Jilani. The shrine of Sultan Bahoo is in Jhang, Pakistan. His death anniversary is held on the first Thursday of Jumada ath-thani.3 After Sultan Bahoo, the Sarwari Qadri order is continued as:  Sultan-ul-Tarikeen Sultan Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah Madni Jilani  Sultan-ul-Sabireen Sultan Pir Mohammad Abdul Ghafoor Shah Hashmi Qureshi  Shahbaz-e-Arifaan Sultan Pir Sayyid Mohammad Bahadur Ali Shah Kazmi al-Mashhadi  Sultan-ul-Auliya Sultan Mohammad Abdul Aziz  Sultan-ul-Faqr VI Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali  Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman 3 To read complete biography and teachings of Sultan Bahoo please study the books SHAMS-UL-FUQARA and MUJTABA AKHIR ZAMANI written by Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman, or their English versions titled as SUFISM-THE SOUL OF ISLAM and THE SPIRITUAL GUIDES OF SARWARI QADRI ORDER respectively.

He is annihilated completely in Allah at the station of no station and is the chosen one whose essence is the light of Divine presence. Peace and salutations upon him, his Companions and the People of Cloak. The writer of this book, which is not a compilation, says that it contains the treasures of authority upon the alchemy of gold and silver of entire world which liberates one of all needs. It has the ultimate Divine favour to be blessed with closeness of Allah, Divine observations, jamiat and verified Miraj. It leads its sincere reader towards the Divine vision and presence of Mohammadan Assembly, the specialty of spiritual path, where he is honoured with eternal company of the souls of all Prophets, Messengers, Saints and Sufis. Hence they become his companions and guides on the way to righteousness. Whoever doubts it and denies the gnosis of Allah divulged in this book, belongs to the community of liars. Men of mysticism and dominant Saints who are accomplished in gnosis of Reality hold such ranks that they can cover infinite stations of the part and whole and reach boundless levels in just a blink of an eye by the power of their knowledge and the Divine
  • 19. 18 presence gained by Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Their ranks are in fact beyond perception. Allah says about them:  َ‫و‬ۡ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬ ۡ ‫ن‬َ‫ع‬ُ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬َ‫ی‬ِ‫ض‬َ‫ر‬ ُ‫ہ‬ ۡ ‫ن‬َ‫ع‬‫ا‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ض‬َ‫ر‬ ( 119 : 5 ) Meaning: Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. (5:119) Their secret is Allah‟s secret, their essence is Allah‟s Essence and their will is Allah‟s will hence they are the entity for the Divine name. The mystery of knowledge of Guarded Tablet is revealed upon them by the benediction of knowledge of Divine name „Allah‟ and they gain entire knowledge of part and whole by reading the Tablet. In Qadri4 order reading the Tablet by the blessing of Ism-e-Allah Zaat is the first day lesson of a beginner seeker. Afterwards he does not need to gain any kind of conventional knowledge. This is the level of Divine lover who is annihilated in Allah and has nothing but Allah in his inward. Such a lover is the beloved of Allah. Wherever he sees, he observes non-creation Divine lights. This is the spiritual way of inscribing Ism-e-Allah Zaat on the body which confers closeness of Allah, Divine union and Oneness on the very first day, however this is the path of tests and trials. The perfect ones bestow all the levels by the blessing of their powerful sight. They can turn a king into beggar and elevate a beggar to the rank of a king by the order and permission of the Holy Prophet. I am blessed with persuasion and guidance from the Holy Prophet through the medium and intercession of Ali ibn Abi Talib razi Allah anhu and I am the strong disciple of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. Whoever doubts it, is a wretched one. You must know that reading the book of a perfect Saint devotedly affects and benefits the reader so much that he becomes enlightened without any effort and is spontaneously 4 Whenever Sultan Bahoo mentions Qadri order, he in fact refers to the Sarwari Qadri order.

This book is exactly the compassion of Allah and blesses the seekers of Allah with His beneficence because it is from Allah and leads to Allah. ‫اقل‬ ‫امنبدی‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫ارموز‬ ‫رفدا‬ ‫ایح‬ ‫ےب‬ ‫یمشچ‬ ‫وکر‬ ‫د‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ی‬ ‫ب‬ ‫ب‬ ‫ب‬ ‫یک‬ Explanation: Allah blesses His seekers with His vision not only in the hereafter but in the world as well but the spiritually blind and immodest ones cannot behold Him.

My body is in this world but the soul is at the station of no station. This book is a work on Sufism. Sufism cleanses the inward from everything other than Allah. In the path of Sufism, contemplation of Lord blesses with Divine presence, authority upon the spirits in graves, powerful attention due to the closeness of Allah, verified annihilation in Allah and its reflection as well as comprehensive jamiat which grants companionship of Allah. Hence, the seeker is liberated from the catastrophes coming in the spiritual path. This path begins with the gnosis of realm of Divinity, then the seeker converses with Allah through inspiration and becomes the Mystic who beholds Allah and perpetually remains present in the Mohammadan Assembly as a
  • 21. 20 humble slave. Bahoo is also a follower of Qadri order and every cell of his body keeps invoking Ya-Hoo. He has annihilated in Allah without passing through the spiritual states of contraction and expansion, intoxication and sobriety, and remains immersed in Hoo being absolved of all absurdities. He is spiritually enlightened, his alive inward radiates the hidden theophanies of Divine light and he vigilantly remains attentive towards the vision of Allah. This is called the knowledge of spiritual substitution. Allah says:  ٍ‫ن‬ ْ ‫ا‬ َ ‫ش‬ْ‫ی‬ِ‫ف‬َ‫و‬ُ‫ھ‬ ٍ‫م‬ْ‫و‬َ‫ی‬َّ‫ل‬ ُ ‫ک‬ ﴾﴿ ( 55:99 ) Meaning: Every moment, His glory manifests anew. (55:29) Bahoo is annihilated in Allah since eternity, he bestows the beneficence upon the Mystics and shows them the way. The writer of this book, Fakir Bahoo, son of Bazayd Mohammad belongs to the Awan5 tribe and is the resident of Qila Shor (May Allah save it from tribulations and troubles). He is a humble slave of Prophet Mohammad and by his grace he has immersed in the ocean of Oneness without emulation. Like a diver he takes out pearls of gnosis from the ocean. Wise is the one who is firstly the seeker of Allah and then the disciple of Holy Prophet. He always complies with Allah and Quran while is against the world, self and Satan. Whenever he faces an issue, he presents his plea in the court of sharia. Whatever sharia orders is truth so he follows it and whatever sharia forbids is false so he leaves that. What are the orders of sharia? Turn towards the gnosis of Allah, drown in the closeness and vision of Allah, renounce the world, separate yourself from people and immerse in Allah. Whoever comes towards Allah, prevents himself from the desires of self. Just open your inner eyes and observe the Divine lights. 5 Awans are the progeny of Ali ibn Abi Talib from wives other than Fatimah bint Mohammad.
  • 22. 21 I have named this book Aqal-e-Baydar (The Enlightenment of Wisdom) as it is a book for the people of wisdom. I have also titled it as Shams-ul-Ashiqeen (The sun for the lovers of Allah) and the book which removes all sorrows of the reader and makes him a Saint with no desires. It is considered a beneficent script as it benefits all groups of people like the blessing of rain or a continuous resource of compassion. It reveals undoubted hidden secrets and blesses its reader with authority upon the treasure of ghanayat, alchemy of elixir of Divine guidance, elixir of spiritual sight as well as authority upon infinite worldly wealth, gold and silver. If by reading this book, one neither gains gnosis of Allah and union of Divine beauty with jamiat nor becomes fortunate and humble rather remains worried due to poverty, hunger and instability and keeps begging at every door then he himself is responsible for this wretched condition. ‫اقمل‬ ‫زںی‬ ‫ربخش‬ ‫تسین‬ ‫ااقمحرنا‬ ‫امتل‬ ‫دش‬ ‫ومندل‬ ‫یط‬ ‫داین‬ ‫و‬ ‫دنی‬ Explanation: I have covered all the stations of world and religion but the foolish know nothing about them. ‫نم‬ ِ‫اجم‬ ‫آم‬ ‫وبد‬ ‫اشکبدی‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫رہ‬ ‫زم‬ ‫الف‬ ‫رمابت‬ ‫انی‬ ‫اب‬ ‫ردس‬ ‫یک‬ Explanation: Whoever accomplishes these ranks, is dear to me but the liars and boasters can never attain to them. ‫ومند‬ ‫را‬ ‫سلفم‬ ‫جنگ‬ ‫ٴ‬ ‫ایمیکے‬ ؒؒ‫و‬ ُ ‫ابھ‬ ‫زود‬ ‫رکد‬ ‫احلص‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫لقع‬ ‫رکا‬ ‫رہ‬ Explanation: Bahoo hasؒunveiled the treasure of alchemy for the needy.

  • 23. 22 There are two ways of gaining guidance directly from presence and closeness of Allah; reciting Dawat at the shrines during which one hears the words of guidance and secondly by the light of contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Allah says:  ُ:‫ٓا‬ َ ‫ش‬ َّ‫ی‬ ۡ‫ن‬َ‫م‬‫ه‬ِ‫ر‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ِن‬‫ل‬ُ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬‫ی‬ِ‫د‬ۡ‫ہ‬َ‫ی‬ٍؕ‫ر‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ن‬‫ی‬ّٰ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ٌ‫ر‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ن‬ ( 4 5:9 3 ) Meaning: (So it) is light upon light. Allah takes to His light whom He wills. (35:24) The perfect spiritual guide and accomplished seeker of Allah raise beyond the levels of invocation, reflection, spiritual frenzy, recitals, unveiling and miracles and reach the station of secret of Divine covenant. Whoever reaches this level, becomes a Fakir having no desires. Fakir is blessed with so much power and favour from Allah that the kingdom of seven climes from the east to the west is under his command. However he never accepts monarchy because he considers the worldly ranks transitory. To achieve the rank of a monarch is not at all difficult for the perfect Fakir, even he can grant it easily to others by the attention of his powerful sight. The perfect spiritual guide first of all confers upon his true seekers seventy-seven ways of verified skill of alchemy of elixir. Only that seeker is eligible for this who has become one with the spiritual guide. Acquainting an imperfect seeker with such skills is a big mistake. The seekers who have got sated with the skill of alchemy remain humble and not in any condition ask for anything or turn away from the gnosis, closeness and union of Allah. The entire guidance lies in ghanayat and it has five levels; ghanayat of self, ghanayat of inward, ghanayat of soul, ghanayat of secret (inner part) and ghanayat of the light which is called totality of jamiat and is absolute closeness of Allah. When a seeker is blessed with ghanayat along with Divine guidance, all the undesirable characteristics like greed and covetousness are removed from his existence. His physical senses are
  • 24. 23 dominated by the spiritual senses. Hence it should be understood that the seeker who does not approach the level of ghanayat, keeps complaining to Allah about Faqr. Thus remains deprived of Allah‟s gnosis and closeness being embarrassed. So ghanayat precedes guidance. When the perfect spiritual guide blesses his special true seeker with his attention and persuasion through Ism-e-Allah Zaat and grants him authority upon the spiritual treasures as well as power of verification, eventually he raises the seeker‟s level equal to his own. He converts seeker‟s existence into light by absorption in Divine beauty and at once grants him Divine presence. Only that seeker deserves these favours who regards their worth and is loyal, pure, respectful and modest. Such a seeker is gharib whose being is pure of every wrong. The spiritual guide fulfils all his objectives in just a moment without putting him in struggle and he attains closeness of Allah in an instant or one day and night or a week, a month or a year. If a seeker is emulator, greedy, verbose, boaster, liar or does not have right faith then the spiritual guide keeps him involved in excessive endeavours because his self has got haughty due to ascetic struggles and such ones do not know the worth of gnosis of Allah. They are materialistic, egoistic and engrossed in desires of their self hence are unaware of the bestowal of day of Divine covenant. When you see a person who exhausts himself in outward devotions but is oblivious of his esoteric being and gnosis of Allah then understand that he is lost in the depraving jungle of unveiling and miracles and uses them to solve issues of people. He has no knowledge of the elevated rank of chosen ones even if he can observe the spectacle of entire universe and is aware of each and every corner. It is easy for the perfect spiritual guide to confer all the physical and spiritual ranks upon the true seeker in a blink of an eye. Nothing is difficult for the perfect one. Fakir is the soul of the universe. His being is the manifestation of special light, the reality of entire cosmos is visible to him and he can unveil the hidden. Do not
  • 25. 24 find it strange as the Mystic Fakir is a vigilant observer. One attains this level of the chosen Faqr and becomes a compassionate Mystic on the conditions that his inward is purified, he readily accepts the truth, achieves Divine union following the straight path and has authority upon all kinds of alchemy. The seven kinds of alchemy of elixir that are the key for certainty and jamiat are; 1- Alchemy of elixir of granting any skill. 2- Knowledge of dawat which is alchemy of fragmentation. 3- Knowledge of Quran which is alchemy of finding Ism-e- Azam from its verses. 4- Knowledge of alchemy of enlightenment. 5- Knowledge of alchemy of effective sight and attention. 6- Knowledge of alchemy of gaining universal ranks in just a week by having authority upon every kingdom from east to west and the seven climes. 7- Knowledge of alchemy of acquiring the attributes of patience, gratitude, modesty and submission which annihilate the self and enliven the inward. Hence the soul immerses in the ocean of light and becomes immortal and the seeker is blessed with Divine vision and presence whenever he wishes. The spiritual guide who grants authority upon these seven kinds of alchemy to the seeker on the very first day by imparting the knowledge of alchemy, gets absolved of the right of the seeker. It is obligatory upon the spiritual guide to favour the seeker, rather it is mandatory for both of them to favour each other. Only such a powerful spiritual guide is eligible for guiding on the right path otherwise is just a nuisance. These seven kinds of alchemy are the reward of certainty. The disciples of a powerless spiritual guide remain faithless, lack certainty and seek the carrion world day and night begging at every door. The successors of such guide are also cursed reprobates. The practitioner of veritable alchemy trusts Allah completely and all the angels
  • 26. 25 are his obedient. Perfect Fakir is the enlightened possessor of knowledge of alchemy. He is the man of sight like Khidr and can turn earthen clods into gold and silver. Such a powerful sight is like philosopher‟s stone. For the man of sight who possesses this power, soil and gold are equal. Do not be proud if you reach this level because it is far from the gnosis and Oneness of Allah. The great Saints Rabia of Basra and Bayazid Bastami never accepted it. Acquainting a novice seeker with knowledge of alchemy and allowing him to practice it is a virtuous deed because indigence and poverty create apprehensions, satanic whispers and illusions which may destroy him. However the man of pure soul is contended and always present in the Mohammadan Assembly. Even if such a true seeker of Allah practises alchemy then it is only to help the deserving people, orphans, prisoners and to spend upon the true scholars, jurists, Saints, Ghawth, Qutb and Dervishes. Whatever one shall sow in this world, so shall he reap in the hereafter. It is a concealed generosity and charity in the way of Allah that is absolutely a rewarding deed. It is mandatory for the spiritual guide to bestow upon his true seeker the command upon all the treasures of Allah in order to eliminate effects of greed, jealousy, covetousness and sorrows from his existence which result from extreme poverty. Thereafter, the seeker lives luxuriously and gets sustenance without effort, hence does not seek financial help from the king. The spiritual guide must bestow these treasures within five days or at the most one week. From these five treasures ensue fifty thousand kinds of command upon immeasurable treasures. Granting such levels to the seeker is not at all difficult for the perfect spiritual guide. A spiritual guide must first of all understand the obligations of his rank. There are prerequisites for a disciple and seeker as well. What are these prerequisites and what is expected from a true seeker? The obligation of a spiritual guide is to bless the seeker with presence in the Mohammadan Assembly from where he gets commands from the Holy Prophet. While the seeker must
  • 27. 26 sacrifice his life and all his possessions for the spiritual guide and should not desire anything in return. Such a seeker reaches the level of Rabia of Basra and Bayazid Bastami. The spiritual guide should give persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and the seeker must have faith in it. Faith is established on observing the Divine presence with one‟s own eyes. One who cannot elevate his disciples to this level, is not aware of the obligations of a spiritual guide. If the disciple is not gaining faith in his spiritual guide then the guide should show him the Guarded Tablet so that his faith in the guide is established till the Day of Judgment. Even then if the seeker does not trust the spiritual guide then the guide should present him in the Mohammadan Assembly by his spiritual attention. The Holy Prophet will himself persuade the seeker and bless him with certainty that will last till the doomsday. There are many so-called spiritual guides who are like barbers and numerous disciples who are imperfect. Which is the knowledge and wisdom that brings every part and whole, special and common, physical and spiritual rank under the command of the seeker instantly and he accomplishes in Faqr becoming the ruler? It is the domain of the Fakir who is master of the worlds and empowered with;  ِ‫ا‬ ﴾﴿ٌ‫ر‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫د‬ َ ‫ق‬ٍ:ۡ‫ی‬ َ ‫ش‬ ِ ّ‫ل‬ ُ ‫ک‬‫ی‬ّٰ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬ َّ‫ن‬ ( 9:92 ) Meaning: Surely Allah is All-Powerful to do everything. (2:20) These are the levels of all-seeing Mystics. How could the animal-like humans know such ranks of men of Essence! All kinds of knowledge, treasures of alchemy, esoteric closeness and presence before the Eternal are gained by the power of light of contemplation and practice of reciting dawat at the shrines of Saints. The perfect spiritual guide makes the existence of his true seeker more magnanimous and vaster than the fourteen spheres of earth and skies by his powerful sight. However it is very difficult for a timid seeker to bear this because it is the persuasion of Divine presence during which theophanies of light
  • 28. 27 of Divine vision radiate from closeness of Allah that disintegrate the existence of an imperfect seeker into fragments. So much grand is the Trust of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, only he knows who bears it. Allah says:  ِ ‫ة‬ّٰ‫و‬ّٰ‫م‬ َّ‫الس‬‫ی‬ َ ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ َ ‫ۃ‬ َ ‫ان‬َ‫م‬ َ ‫ا‬ۡ‫ال‬‫ا‬ َ ‫ن‬ ۡ ‫ض‬َ‫ر‬ َ ‫ع‬‫ا‬ َّ ‫ن‬ِ‫ا‬ َ‫ن‬ ۡ ‫ق‬ َ ‫ف‬ ۡ ‫ش‬ َ ‫ا‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ َ ‫ن‬ ۡ ‫ل‬ِ‫م‬ۡ‫ح‬ َّ‫ی‬ ۡ‫ن‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ‫س‬ ۡ ‫ی‬َ‫ب‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ ‫ف‬ ِ ‫ال‬َ‫ب‬ِ‫ج‬ ۡ ‫ال‬َ‫و‬ ِ ‫ض‬ۡ‫ر‬ َ ‫ا‬ۡ‫ال‬َ‫و‬ ؕ ُ‫ان‬َ‫س‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ِ‫ا‬ۡ‫ال‬‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ َ ‫ل‬َ‫م‬َ‫ح‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ ﴾﴿‫ا‬ً‫ل‬ۡ‫و‬ُ‫ہ‬َ‫ج‬‫ا‬ً‫م‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ل‬ َ ‫ظ‬ َ‫ان‬ َ ‫ک‬‫ہ‬ َّ ‫ن‬ِ‫ا‬ 72) : 33 ) Meaning: Indeed We offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they declined to bear this and felt scared of it, but man took it on. Verily he is ever so cruel (towards his self) and ignorant (of his highest rank near Allah). (33:72) Through which knowledge one can recognize the perfect spiritual guide? If the perfect spiritual guide gives Divine persuasion to an ignorant, he makes him an excellent scholar as he has authority upon the entire knowledge and all the scholars. This knowledge is blessed only to the Mystics and lovers of Allah who will keep transferring it onwards till the doomsday. They transfer the entire knowledge in just a moment directly from heart to heart, attention to attention, presence to presence, closeness to closeness, authority to authority, inward to inward, soul to soul, secret to secret and from tongue to tongue. These fortunate ones observe the spectacle of both the worlds on their palm and acquire the knowledge written on Guarded Tablet then describe it by their tongue. Hence they read the unread and know the unknown. It is just the primary lesson of the true seeker of Allah. If the perfect spiritual guide inwardly gives persuasion of the knowledge of verification, gnosis and Oneness of Allah to an excellent scholar, he will lose his power of speech and cannot teach outward knowledge by his tongue. If the perfect spiritual guide gives Divine persuasion to a king, the kingdom like that of Solomon and Alexander come under his command from one corner of the earth to the other and everyone whether common or
  • 29. 28 special becomes his obedient. Sign of a perfect spiritual guide is that he has no desires. Those who sell themselves to fulfil their desires by showing miracles and become arrogant and conceited upon it, cannot be considered spiritual guides. Their Faqr is compulsive and following Persian proverb is rightly said about them; ‫اپراس‬ ‫اکمرہ‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫انراس‬ ‫دتس‬ ‫از‬ ‫اتس‬ Meaning: One who has no access to the sin, cunningly claims to be pious. Allah says to them;  ﴾﴿َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ل‬ِ‫ق‬ۡ‫ع‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫ل‬ َ ‫ف‬ َ ‫ا‬ؕ َ‫ب‬ّٰ‫ت‬ِ‫ک‬ ۡ ‫ال‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ل‬ۡ‫ت‬ َ ‫ت‬ ۡ‫م‬ُ‫ت‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ‫و‬ ۡ‫م‬ ُ ‫ک‬َ‫س‬ ُ ‫ف‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬َ‫س‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ َ ‫ت‬ َ‫و‬ِ ّ‫ر‬ِ‫ب‬ ۡ ‫ال‬ِ‫ب‬ َ ‫اس‬ َّ ‫الن‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬ُ‫ر‬ُ‫م‬ ۡ ‫ا‬ َ ‫ت‬ َ ‫ا‬ ( 2:44 ) Meaning: Do you command others for piety and forget yourselves, whilst you (also) recite the Book (of Allah)? So, do you not have wisdom? (2:44) Wise is the one who is accomplished in knowledge of dawat recited at the shrines as well as in dawat of Divine presence and is desirable in the court of Allah. Only the one who is forgiven by Allah is capable to recite such dawat. Allah says:  َ‫ر‬ َّ ‫خ‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬َ‫و‬ َ ‫ک‬ِ‫ب‬ۡۢ‫ن‬ َ ‫ذ‬ ۡ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ َ‫م‬ َّ‫د‬ َ ‫ق‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬ َ ‫ک‬َ‫ل‬ َ‫ر‬ِ‫ع‬ ۡ ‫غ‬َ‫ِی‬‫ل‬ (48:2) Meaning: So that Allah may forgive all your earlier and later sins. (48:2) When perfect man of dawat or his accomplished disciple starts reciting dawat with verses of Quran, souls of all the Prophets, Messengers, Sufis, Saints, Ghawth, Qutb, true believers and all those holding spiritual ranks, whether dead or alive, come and shake hands with him and converse with him hence he becomes acquainted with all of them. He is the great rider who never fears reciting dawat while riding the grave. True reciter of dawat
  • 30. 29 achieves this level on the very first day. There are two consequences of dawat; the perfect one gains treasures just in the beginning while the imperfect gets demoted and dies with pain. EXPLANATION OF DAWAT Dawat is like an unsheathed sword that kills all the infidels in the world with one strike. Do not consider it strange, you must trust the holy verses of Quran. The perfect one holds this sword in his hand like the Zulfiqar6 and kills the pernicious infidels. Whereas the imperfect one just waves the sword in the air. Wherever he turns or whatever he sees during dawat, causes him demotion and he ruins himself. Wise is the one who identifies the perfect and the imperfect from their knowledge and practices. The perfect one and his seekers do not relinquish eating meat (for accomplishing in dawat or any other spiritual act), neither do they need to give charity for it or set enclosure for safety nor do they depend on auspicious and ominous timings or astrology. The imperfect always faces demotion and remains wretched. Relinquishing the meat of those animals which Allah has allowed to eat is the custom of cursed infidels who are people of hell. The perfect man of dawat can eat whatever he wishes as his food turns to light, his sleep takes him to observation of Divine presence, his tongue is always invoking Allah, his inward is the archetype of Kaaba and his soul is blissful due to passion and closeness of Allah. ‫را‬ ‫وخشی‬ ‫راسدن‬ ‫یم‬ ‫دبرای‬ ‫راربہ‬ ‫یب‬ ‫لیس‬ ‫تسین‬ ‫دراکر‬ ‫رربہی‬ ‫وشد‬ ‫رربہ‬ ‫وچم‬ ‫وشق‬ 6 The sacred sword of Ali ibn Abi Talib given by the Holy Prophet with which he won all the battles.
  • 31. 30 Explanation: Gushing water reaches the river itself without any guidance. When one‟s passion becomes his guide, no other guide is needed. Dawat takes the perfect man of dawat to the closeness and presence of Allah from where he gets inspirations and right answers. Hence why would he need to request the angels to bring messages! Some people are imperfect in reciting dawat because they have got its permission from an imperfect guide. Some have got permission from the perfect spiritual guide but are imperfect in delivering it while some are perfectly eligible to deliver it but have got the permission from imperfect guide. Only a few are those who are permitted to deliver dawat by the perfect spiritual guide as well as are accomplished in reciting it. What is the ultimacy of Faqr? It is to annihilate in Allah and acquire His perpetual company by the power of attention and verified contemplation. Listen! One moment‟s attention of the perfect Fakir is far better than reciting dawat thousand times, possessing gold and silver, having a large army, gaining wisdom or invoking, reflecting and meditating infinite times. He extends his attention from the station of Divine presence and closeness which keeps on progressing day by day and never ceases till the doomsday. This is the power of Fakir who watches everything visibly. He reads the unread knowledge, knows the unknown and tells the unheard. Allah possesses the hidden knowledge and He imparts this knowledge to His chosen men Himself. Like the intuitive knowledge in which reasoning arises in the inward and one comes to know a hidden fact, or some are delivered messages through inspirations from Divine closeness. This path is the bestowal of Holy Prophet. Only the dead-hearted reprobates deny it as they are the seekers of carrion world and its ranks.
  • 32. 31 EXPLANATION OF CERTAINTY Certainty is the light of faith which lies in Divine persuasion and is the eternal bestowal. The persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat enlightens the existence like the sun. Whomsoever is blessed with it, beholds Allah unveiled. If one is asked whether he has beheld Allah or not and he answers that he has, then definitely he has not beheld Allah. Beholding Allah with the eyes of creation is not possible. Thus how can Allah be beheld? Whomsoever Allah decides to bless with His vision, annihilates him in Himself, hence his existence converts into light and he reaches the station of no station which is non-creation. This level is attained by the contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat as the name of Allah takes to Allah and grants His vision that cannot be exemplified with anything. Whoever beholds Allah in this unprecedented way, his status is beyond perception and his states are beyond the general states of creation. One who reaches this level, gains certainty by the persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and companionship of Prophet Mohammad. Then life and death become equal for him. This is the station about which the Holy Prophet said;  َ‫ل‬ْ‫ب‬ َ ‫اق‬ْ‫و‬ ُ ‫ت‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫م‬ ‫ا‬ْ‫و‬ ُ ‫ت‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫م‬ َ ‫ت‬ ْ‫ن‬ َ ‫ا‬ Meaning: Die before death.  ‫ٓا‬َ‫ل‬ َ ‫ا‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ل‬ِ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬َ:‫ٓا‬َ‫ِی‬‫ل‬ْ‫و‬ َ ‫ا‬ َّ‫ن‬ِ‫ا‬ َ‫ی‬ َ‫ن‬ْ‫و‬ ُ ‫ت‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫م‬ Meaning: No doubt! The Saints of Allah never die. Whoever attains to certainty, instantly achieves Divine union while the one deprived of certainty achieves nothing. There are two kinds of certainty; one is the certainty of idol worshippers, infidels and pagans who are the people of hell and their certainty is meant to escape the true religion. Other is the certainty regarding affirmation of ِ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬ ُ‫ل‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫س‬ َّ‫ر‬ ٌ‫د‬ َّ‫م‬َ‫ح‬ُ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬‫ا‬ َّ ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ّٰ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬‫ٓا‬َ‫ل‬ (There is no God
  • 33. 32 but Allah, Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah). Verified certainty is that which a man of verification attains through Divine persuasion. This kind of certainty is firm like a mountain, neither it shakes nor wavers or tumbles. Certainty is an attribute and form of Faqr which helps the humble seekers. It is called the sultan of Faqr. One whose existence is adorned with certainty, elevates from the level of faithlessness. What is the difference between scholars and Fakirs? The intoxication of knowledge provokes egotism and frenzy in the scholars and they become self-conceited while the Fakirs forego their self being dominated by the intoxication and passion for Allah. They ever remain with Allah and achieve all their objectives. This level is also attained by the persuasion of certainty. Whoever reads this book till the end with devotion, will become true Muslim even if he was earlier an infidel, Jew or a Christian. If a dead-hearted person will read it, his inward will be enlivened and he will reach Divine presence gaining insight and getting rid of polytheism, infidelity and spite. Further explanation of certainty is that it is a knowledge rather real knowledge is gained through certainty. The knowledge gained through certainty makes one enlightened by raising all the veils and leads towards gnosis and Oneness of Allah. Certainty is Divine light, certainty is Divine presence and certainty is the observation of Divine vision. Certainty is another name for ghanayat and closeness of Allah from where one receives inspirations. Just leave the name and be separated from everyone to engross in the gnosis of Allah and annihilate yourself in truth of certainty. So that you reach the Truth, speak the truth, know the reality of truth, recognize the truth and deliver the truth. One who reaches the Truth, falsehood and satanic apprehensions are completely eliminated from his existence. Truth of certainty is the level where one recognizes one‟s status and keeps accountability of self. This level is attained by the Mystics.
  • 34. 33 Bahoo is named so because he is always with Hoo. He is immersed in Oneness of Allah and beholds Him directly. The knowledge of certainty is different from the knowledge of persuasion and sainthood. Is certainty superior to persuasion or vice versa? The answer is that both are essential for a Mystic like sight is to eye. What is acquired through knowledge of certainty and what does one gain through knowledge of persuasion? Knowledge of persuasion grants the favour of Divine attention and contemplation of Divine light while the knowledge of certainty bestows closeness of Allah and verily makes one independent of desires. Moreover, knowledge of persuasion of Ism-e-Allah Zaat elevates one to Miraj. Both kinds of knowledge gained through certainty and persuasion are the key to reach Divine Oneness and depict the Divine name Ya-Fattah (The Opener). In Qadri order, the perfect spiritual guide is the solver of all problems, opener of all locks and bestower of Divine vision. He grants both kinds of knowledge to his true seeker on the very first day. Certainty is discovering, certainty is determination, certainty is required to believe what is heard by ears, seen by eyes and read by the tongue. Certainty is the clothing of faith and faith is the soul of certainty. One who gains the knowledge of certainty, gets absolved of struggles and forty days seclusion for his entire life. ‫نک‬ ‫ایر‬ ‫نیقی‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫نیقی‬ ‫الص‬ ‫وشی‬ ‫ارسار‬ ‫رحمل‬ ‫ہ‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬ُ‫ک‬ ؒ‫ن‬ ُ ‫ک‬ Explanation: Real certainty is the certainty which takes you to the Beloved and intimates you to the secrets of the Divine command „Be!‟ ‫بلط‬ ‫نک‬ ‫نیقی‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫نیقی‬ ‫الص‬ ‫رحمل‬ ‫رب‬ ِ‫ز‬‫را‬ ‫وشی‬ ‫ارسار‬

  • 36. 35 Certainty cannot be attained by the affirmation of tongue, outward knowledge or reading books. It requires inward verification which is not possible unless a seeker achieves Divine union and beholds Allah unveiled gaining the secret knowledge which is not acquired through outward knowledge. Renounce the pleasures and desires of self and elevate beyond four levels i.e. four stages of self7 or the four spiritual stations8 or the four elements; soil, water, air and fire. The Fakir who elevates beyond these four levels, reaches the Divine light. ‫اہچر‬ ‫دل‬ ُ ‫ش‬ ‫ش‬ ‫ہس‬ ‫وبدل‬ ‫دومی‬ ‫اونکں‬ ‫و‬ ‫ا‬ ‫زگمتش‬ ‫ہب‬ ‫دویئ‬ ‫ز‬ ‫دشل‬ ‫اتکی‬ ‫و‬ Explanation: Initially I was four, then became three and afterwards two.

When the seeker accomplishes in Faqr, his existence becomes replete like an ocean, he drowns in the light of Oneness and is blessed with eternal Divine presence. This is the rank of a Mystic Fakir. O scholar! Do not be arrogant upon your knowledge. O 7 The inciting self, the repenting self, the inspiring self and the peaceful self. 8 The station of sharia, the station of mysticism, the station of gnosis and the station of reality.

(2:154) ‫درگ‬ ‫یملع‬ ‫درگ‬ ‫رایہ‬ ‫رعمتف‬ ‫اینردن‬ ‫زو‬ ‫اطمہعل‬ ‫اب‬ ؒ ‫رگن‬ ‫اجم‬ Explanation: The way of gnosis is different from the way of knowledge.

I have attained this level by the blessing of the Holy Prophet. Divine love and vision are the real Miraj. However, seeker of Allah is blessed with Miraj on the destined time even if he is stationed at the rank of great Saint Maroof Karkhi. The seeker who starts his spiritual journey with the veritable inscribing practice of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, eventually attains Divine union. Hence, eternal beginning and end become the same for him. When Divinity manifests in the inward, some seekers gain Divine presence while some seekers‟ inward becomes replete with light, some know it while some do not. It is better to know but not claim. When the seeker is accomplished, all worries end. The scholar whose knowledge arouses his self and its desires, is like a snake. Whereas the scholar whose knowledge permeates his inward and soul and he practises upon it, is the vigilant scholar eligible for Divine vision. Such a scholar surpasses the levels of knowledge and becomes a Divine scholar and Saint after
  • 39. 38 annihilating himself in Allah. Eventually he drowns in Oneness by the invocation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and is entitled as a Fakir and a Saint like Bayazid Bastami. The denier of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and Ism-e-Mohammad is Abu Jahl the second or Pharaoh. Who do you think you are? Just like it is difficult for an infidel to recite shahada, similarly it is tough for a dead-hearted person to follow Sufism that enlivens the inward, embarrasses the self and grants vision to the soul. Sufism carries one towards Allah, blesses with verified vision and makes one disgusted of pleasures of self. Just reading the books can never bless with Divine union rather it is utterly a veil between man and Allah. The imperfect spiritual guide only keeps his disciples engaged in invocations, reflections and other struggles like recitals and forty days seclusion. The perfect spiritual guide grants total authority upon the treasures of gnosis and presence on the very first day. ‫زدنیگ‬ ‫دك‬ ‫رعمتف‬ ‫وضحری‬ ‫اب‬ ‫رو‬ ‫وضحری‬ ‫یب‬ ‫رشدنمیگ‬ ‫ایسہ‬ Explanation: Inward is enlivened by gnosis and Divine presence. Without presence life is just embarrassment. Being a spiritual guide is not easy because a seeker is headstrong like frenzied elephant and it is very difficult for the spiritual guide to bind such a seeker with himself. The spiritual guide should be powerful like a mahout so that he could drive the seeker in any direction. If the seeker is like a fox and the spiritual guide is like a jackal then their union is meant only to gain ascension in the carrion world. If the seeker is like a lion and the spiritual guide is like the lion-keeper, they prey bravely and never incline towards the carrion. However, if the spiritual guide is like a falcon but the seeker is like a crow then they cannot stay in each other‟s company. Keep in mind! Advising a fool only results in an argument. The perfect spiritual guide is also the Divine scholar who reveals the solution of all mazes upon the
  • 40. 39 seeker, bestows the Divine vision and breaks the thaumaturgy of existence by the power of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. This level is the secret of faith and the destiny of Mystics, Fakirs and Saints. Without the attention of perfect spiritual guide the seeker cannot attain to any destination even if he spends his entire life in mystic endeavours or keeps adopting forty days seclusion, nothing will benefit him. Get to know that the human being is manifestation of light. When the light of Allah fully manifests in a person, his every word comes from the Divine court. This is the station about which it is said:  ِ ‫ن‬ّٰ‫م‬ْ‫ح‬َّ‫الر‬ ُ ‫ف‬ْ‫ی‬َ‫س‬ِٔ;َ‫ر‬ َ ‫غ‬ ُ ‫ف‬ ْ ‫ال‬ ُ‫ان‬َ‫ِس‬‫ل‬ Meaning: Tongue of Fakirs is the sword of the Compassionate.9 One whose existence manifests the Mohammadan light, his every word is the light of Mohammad. This is the station of annihilation in Prophet Mohammad. One whose being becomes the perfect manifestation of light of spiritual guide, his every word is the word of his spiritual guide and this is the level of annihilation in the spiritual guide. This is the Divine knowledge which is the destiny of Mystics, lovers and those blessed with union of Allah. The scholars of outward knowledge are unaware of this knowledge because their proficiency is limited to understanding the issues and essence of jurisprudence. Gnosis of Allah is achieved only by following the path of Faqr which is the pride of Prophet Mohammad. Whoever feels pride over worldly assets, has the characteristics of Pharaoh. Which characteristics do you have? Inciting self is like a snake which comes out of its hole on casting the spell and gets trapped. The spell to gain control over the self is to go against it and keep it accountable justly. One who does not know to cast the spell is foolish if he tries to catch the snake. The person bitten by the snake of self can never be cured and at last dies by its sting. 9 Attributive name of Allah, ar-Rahman.
  • 41. 40 I am surprised at the people who keep reciting the Quran or discussing its exegesis and Hadiths but their inner self is devilish. This devil cannot be gotten rid of unless Divine persuasion is gained from the perfect spiritual guide who is the Fakir scholar. The excellent scholars are like the disciples of a Fakir and such a Fakir scholar rules the world. What is the ultimacy of Faqr? When a Fakir converses, he in fact converses to Allah or the Holy Prophet or other Prophets and Saints or the angels and his word is for all the men of Allah. Do not find it strange or deny it as Sultan Bayazid Bastami said, “I have been talking to Allah for thirty years, people have been misunderstanding that I am talking to them.” Contemplation and inscribing practice of Ism-e-Allah Zaat purify the existence of the seeker on the very first day to such an extent that he does not need to perform any kind of mystic struggle for his entire life. The seeker is put to struggle just for his trial. The perfect spiritual guide bestows the closeness of Allah on the very first day by disclosing the secret. He reveals the Divine observations and blesses with jamiat. ‫دخا‬ ‫امنبدی‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫کنیع‬ ‫دش‬ ‫مشچ‬ ‫اوایل‬ ‫بیصن‬ ‫دش‬ ‫رمابت‬ ‫انی‬ Explanation: The Saints are blessed with such high ranks that their eyes become spectacles through which they make the seekers behold Allah. Renounce four things related to four levels of the self and be disgusted of its pleasures and desires. ‫ابش‬ ‫ایشہر‬ ‫ی‬ ‫ن‬ ‫کت‬‫ی‬‫ن‬‫م‬ ‫اصافم‬ ‫ہنیس‬ ‫رب‬ ‫دنخہ‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫رہ‬ ‫ دن‬ ‫یم‬ ‫دنخی‬ ‫وخشی‬ ‫دنخد‬ ‫آہنیئ‬ ‫رب‬ Explanation: Beware! Don‟t laugh at the true Mystics as their inwards are pure and clear like a mirror. One who laughs at the mirror, actually laughs at himself.
  • 42. 41 The enemy of Fakir surely has one of the three characteristics; either he is a dead-hearted jealous scholar who is verbose but ignorant of inward verification or a liar, hypocrite and polytheist or he is the seeker of world who would not get any place in paradise. Perfect Fakir is the one who does not separate from the Mohammadan Assembly even for a moment. One who is deprived of perpetual presence of the Mohammadan Assembly can neither be called a Fakir nor a Dervish. What rank does a Dervish hold? He can read the Guarded Tablet any time through the esoteric knowledge. What is the sign of the scholars of exoteric knowledge who are considered the heirs of Prophets? Their knowledge should become a medium for them to have the privilege of beholding and meeting the Holy Prophet every night or the night of Friday or once a month or at least once a year. The scholar who is not blessed with the vision, union and presence of the Holy Prophet, his knowledge does not affect or benefit his existence. Such a scholar is the beast of burden. He eventually becomes a cruel and venal who is harmful and irksome for everyone. If all the scholars, jurists, relators of Hadiths, exegetes, ascetics, worshippers, pious, practitioners and the sages living on the earth or in dead state under the soil are gathered along with all the jinns and angels, they altogether cannot be equal to even the initial level of a Fakir who is man of concentration. His concentration shows him the spectacle of both the worlds on his nail. Hadith:  ُ‫ر‬ َّ ‫ک‬ َ ‫ف‬ َ ‫ت‬ ‫ال‬ َّ‫س‬ ِ‫ۃ‬َ‫اع‬ ٍ‫ۃ‬ َ ‫ن‬َ‫س‬ِ‫ۃ‬َ‫اد‬َ‫ب‬ِ‫ع‬ ْ‫ن‬ِّ‫م‬ٌ‫ر‬ ْ ‫ی‬ َ ‫خ‬ Meaning: Concentration of a moment is better than the worship of a year. The level of concentration mentioned in the Hadith is accomplished by true invocation of Allah as the Holy Prophet said:

Secret invocation is specialty of the one who remains present in the Mohammadan Assembly and is the friend of the Holy Prophet. He is ranked at the station of a gharib and miskeen Fakir. Miskeen is defined as the one who has food for one day only and that too he spends in the way of Allah. Gharib is the one whose being is pure of every filth, falsehood and wrath. The Fakir ever remains under the sight of the Holy Prophet because he is the Prophet‟s beloved. Allah says:  ۡ‫ر‬ِ‫ب‬ ۡ‫اص‬َ‫و‬ ُ‫د‬ۡ‫ع‬ َ ‫ت‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ ‫ہ‬َ‫ہ‬ۡ‫ج‬َ‫و‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬ُ‫د‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ر‬ُ‫ی‬ِ ّ‫ی‬ِ‫ش‬َ‫ع‬ ۡ ‫ال‬َ‫و‬ ِ‫ۃ‬‫و‬ ّٰ‫د‬ َ ‫غ‬ ۡ ‫ال‬ِ‫ب‬ۡ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬ َّ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬ُ‫ع‬ۡ‫د‬َ‫ی‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ذ‬ َّ ‫ال‬ َ ‫ع‬َ‫م‬ َ ‫ک‬َ‫س‬ ۡ ‫ف‬ َ ‫ن‬ َ‫و‬‫ا‬ َ ‫ن‬ِ‫ر‬ ۡ ‫ک‬ِ‫ذ‬ ۡ‫ن‬َ‫ع‬‫ہ‬َ‫ب‬ ۡ ‫ل‬ َ ‫ق‬‫ا‬ َ ‫ن‬ ۡ ‫ل‬ َ ‫ف‬ ۡ ‫غ‬ َ ‫ا‬ ۡ‫ن‬َ‫م‬ ۡ ‫ع‬ِ‫ط‬ ُ ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ۚ‫ا‬َ‫ی‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ ُّ‫الد‬ ِ‫ۃ‬‫و‬ّٰ‫ی‬َ‫ح‬ ۡ ‫ال‬ َ ‫ۃ‬ َ ‫ن‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ز‬ ُ‫د‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ر‬ ُ ‫ت‬ۚۡ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬ ۡ ‫ن‬َ‫ع‬ َ ‫ک‬ ّٰ ‫ن‬ۡ‫ی‬َ‫ع‬ َ‫و‬ُ‫ىہ‬ّٰ‫و‬َ‫ھ‬ َ ‫ع‬َ‫ب‬ َّ ‫ات‬ ﴾﴿‫ا‬ ً ‫ط‬ُ‫ر‬ ُ ‫ف‬ ‫ه‬ُ‫ر‬ۡ‫م‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ‫ان‬ َ ‫ک‬ ( 18:98 ) Meaning: (O My beloved!)

Your (affectionate and caring) looks must not but focus them. Do you seek the charisma of the worldly life (shifting your attention away from these self-denying devotees)? And (also) do not follow him whose inward We have made neglectful of Our invocation and who follows but the urge of his (self) and his case has exceeded all bounds.

There is nothing (obligatory) either on you from their account (of deeds and rewards) or upon them from your account. Even then if you turned them away (from your munificence and benevolence), you would be of those who deprive others of their rights (which does not go with your glory). (6:52) The Fakirs with enlivened inward are those who command both the worlds by the order of Allah and rule the self. Don‟t you know that the one who slaughters the four birds10 mentioned metaphorically in the following verse, enlivens his inward and gains perpetual Divine presence:  َ‫و‬‫ی‬ّٰ‫ل‬َ‫ب‬ َ‫ال‬ َ ‫ق‬ؕ ۡ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ۡ‫ؤ‬ ُ ‫ت‬ۡ‫م‬َ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ َ ‫ا‬ َ‫ال‬ َ ‫ق‬ؕ‫ی‬ ّٰ ‫ت‬ۡ‫و‬َ‫م‬ ۡ ‫ال‬ِ‫ی‬ۡ‫ح‬ ُ ‫ت‬ َ ‫ف‬ۡ‫ی‬ َ ‫ک‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ن‬ِ‫ر‬ َ ‫ا‬ ِ ّ ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ ُ‫م‬‫ھ‬ّٰ‫ر‬ۡ‫ب‬ِ‫ا‬ َ‫ال‬ َ ‫ق‬ ۡ ‫ذ‬ِ‫ا‬َ‫و‬ َّ‫ن‬ِ‫ئ‬َ‫م‬ ۡ ‫ط‬َ‫ِی‬ ّ ‫ل‬ ۡ‫ن‬ِ‫ک‬ّٰ‫ل‬ َ ‫ا‬ ۡ ‫ذ‬ ُ ‫خ‬ َ ‫ف‬ َ‫ال‬ َ ‫ق‬ ؕۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ب‬ ۡ ‫ل‬ َ ‫ق‬ َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ہ‬ ۡ ‫ن‬ِّ‫م‬ ٍ ‫ل‬َ‫ب‬َ‫ج‬ ِ ّ‫ل‬ ُ ‫ک‬‫ی‬ّٰ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ ۡ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ۡ‫اج‬ َّ‫م‬ ُ ‫ث‬ َ ‫ک‬ۡ‫ی‬َ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬ َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ھ‬ۡ‫ر‬ُ‫ع‬ َ ‫ف‬ِ‫ر‬ ۡ ‫ی‬ َّ ‫الط‬ َ‫ن‬ِّ‫م‬ ً ‫ۃ‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ب‬ۡ‫ر‬ ٌ‫م‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ک‬َ‫ح‬ ٌ‫ز‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ز‬ َ ‫ع‬َ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬ َّ‫ن‬ َ ‫ا‬ۡ‫م‬ َ ‫ل‬ۡ‫اع‬َ‫و‬ؕ‫ا‬ً‫ی‬ۡ‫ع‬َ‫س‬ َ ‫ک‬ َ ‫ن‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ت‬ ۡ ‫ا‬َ‫ی‬ َّ‫ن‬ُ‫ہ‬ُ‫ع‬ۡ‫اد‬ َّ‫م‬ ُ ‫ث‬‫ا‬ً:ۡ‫ز‬ُ‫ج‬ (2:60) Meaning: And (also recall the event) when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how you bring the dead to life”. Allah said, “Do you not have faith?” He submitted, “Why not! (I do believe), but (I wish) my heart is blessed with gratifying calm”. Allah ordained, “Well, take four birds and tame them to feel attached to you; then (slaughter them and) place a piece of each of them on each hill, then call them. They will come to you at high speed. And know that surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.” (2:260) 10 According to Sultan Bahoo‟s teachings, the four birds metaphorically refer to the cock of lust, pigeon of sensual desires, peacock of apparent beauty and the crow of greed.
  • 45. 44 Fakir having inward verification is the true invoker and scholar of knowledge of exegesis. He is the follower of Faqr which is the pride of Holy Prophet as he said:  ْ‫ی‬ ّ ِ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ُ‫ر‬ ْ ‫غ‬ َ ‫ف‬ ْ ‫ال‬َ‫و‬ْ‫ی‬ِ‫ر‬ ْ ‫ظ‬ َ ‫ف‬ُ‫ر‬ ْ ‫غ‬ َ ‫ف‬ ْ ‫ل‬ َ ‫ا‬ Meaning: Faqr is my pride and Faqr is from me.11 ‫رکل‬ ‫اکم‬ ‫جنگ‬ ‫تسیچ‬ ‫داین‬ ‫رقف‬ ‫مغ‬ ‫تسین‬ ‫رقفش‬ ‫ٴ‬ ‫روے‬ ‫دنیب‬ ‫ہک‬ ‫رہ‬ Explanation: Do you know what is Faqr? It is the treasure and fount of benevolence. Whoever beholds the countenance of Faqr, is absolved of all sorrows. On the path of Faqr messages are sent to and received from the Holy Prophet. Follower of this path gains Divine presence whenever he wishes through the esoteric way of contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat or of authority upon the souls. At which stage of Faqr a seeker is recognized as a Fakir? When he is annihilated in Allah, he attains the station of Faqr. Then he gains the power to enliven the dead inward till the doomsday by the invocation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and salvages the alive inward from major and minor sins. The possessors of alive inward never commit a sin. Other than them there are a lot of people about whom it is said:  ِ‫ت‬ َ ‫ق‬ِ‫ل‬ ُ ‫خ‬ َ‫ار‬َ‫م‬ِ‫ح‬ ۡ ‫ال‬ ُ‫ص‬ِ‫ب‬ ۡ‫و‬ َ‫ر‬ ِ ‫ة‬ ‫ا‬ ۡ ‫ل‬ ِ‫ر‬ َ ‫ض‬َ‫ب‬ Meaning: They are donkeys in the form of humans.

He is loyal, sacrificing and a true friend who neither makes verbal claims nor runs after bread. Furthermore, he is the invoker of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Though every bird invokes the name of Allah but the perfect invoker is one who gains Divine presence through it. ‫رکفش‬ ‫و‬ ‫ذگبار‬ ‫را‬ ‫ذرک‬ ‫وجم‬ ‫را‬ ‫وشب‬ ‫دك‬ ‫از‬ ‫ووسہس‬ ‫و‬ ‫رکف‬ ‫ذرک‬ Explanation: Do not indulge in lengthy invocations and useless reflections.

(17:72) ‫نیب‬ ‫مشچ‬ ‫اب‬ ‫را‬ ‫وکر‬ ‫وگبمی‬ ‫رگ‬ ‫دبنی‬ ‫دنیب‬ ‫یک‬ ‫زاد‬ ‫امدر‬ ‫وکر‬ Explanation: If I ask a spiritually blind to behold Allah with his eyes, how could he as he is eternally blind! The followers of Qadri order are the near ones to Allah. Hadith:  َ‫ر‬ْ‫ب‬ َ ‫ا‬ْ‫ال‬ ُ ‫اة‬ َ ‫ن‬َ‫س‬َ‫ح‬ ُ ‫ة‬ ّٰ ‫ا‬ّ ِ‫ی‬َ‫س‬ِ‫ر‬‫ا‬ َّ‫ر‬ َ ‫غ‬ُ‫م‬ ْ ‫ال‬ َ‫س‬ ْ ‫ی‬ِ‫ب‬ Meaning: The good deeds of the pious ones are like sins for the near ones. SUPERIORITY OF QADRI ORDER For the perfect spiritual guide of Qadri order, illiterate and literate seekers are equal, likewise fortunate and unfortunate seekers are the same. Being the near one to Allah, he has command over every kind of knowledge and fortune. He can change the destiny written on the Guarded Tablet and can convert ominous into auspicious and vice versa. Do not consider it strange. Endeavours are the food for a perfect Qadri seeker and his sleep takes him to Divine presence and grant observations. Beware and be wise! In the Qadri order spies from other orders intrude like a thief. They are the devils who try to mislead its followers. A true Qadri disciple finds everything from the Qadri order. If a follower of this order inclines towards any other order or keeps goodwill for it, he turns reprobate and his ranks are seized. His inward remains dead till the doomsday.
  • 48. 47 How can a Qadri follower be distinguished from the followers of other orders? A Qadri disciple attains to Divine Oneness without effort while followers of other orders are mostly emulators. The perfect Fakir of Qadri order gains the key to success in all ventures on the very first day. O Qadri follower! May Allah bless you with goodness in both the worlds! Only Allah! Everything other than Allah is lust. Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, the leader of all spiritual guides, stays with his seekers and disciples like soul is in the body. They are his spiritual progeny. If the seeker is virtuous, he keeps him under his shelter but if he is a sinner then he keeps him under his scrutiny. Swear by God and His Prophet! Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani never separates from his disciples in any condition or state, whatever they speak or do, till the Last Day. Rather on the doomsday as well he will keep them in his shelter. Allah has promised to the Holy Prophet such forgiveness for the disciples of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani that none of them will go to hell. If any hypocrite or liar who is jealous of them denies it, he will be deprived and expelled from the paradise. If any of his followers considers him away from himself then how can such a person call himself his follower! Whenever any seeker calls him during a trouble for help with faith and sincerity and recites:  ‫شو‬‫حاضػ‬ْ‫ی‬ِ‫ن‬‫ا‬َ‫ل‬ْ‫ی‬ِ‫ج‬ْ‫ر‬ِ‫د‬‫ا‬ َ ‫ق‬ ْ ‫ال‬ُ‫د‬ْ‫ب‬َ‫ع‬‫خ‬ْ‫ی‬ َ ‫ش‬‫ا‬َ‫ی‬ ّ ِ‫ق‬َ‫ح‬ ْ ‫ال‬ّ ِ‫ی‬َ‫ح‬ ْ ‫ال‬َ‫و‬ ِ ‫س‬ َّ‫د‬ َ ‫ق‬ُ‫م‬ ْ ‫ال‬ِ‫ج‬‫ا‬َ‫و‬ْ‫ر‬ َ ‫ا‬ْ‫ال‬ ِ‫ک‬ َ ‫ل‬َ‫م‬ِ‫ب‬‫ا‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫ر‬ ُ ‫غ‬ْ‫ح‬ ُ ‫ا‬ Meaning: O sacred soul of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani! Bless me with your presence along with the angels and pure souls who are the reality and the eternal. Then recites the shahada thrice and strikes on the inward with spiritual absorption and wrath upon the self. Undoubtedly, on the third strike Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani comes to him either with his physical body which the seeker can see with his physical eyes or comes with his esoteric existence which the seeker beholds with his inner eyes that can see everything visibly or he
  • 49. 48 comes with his spiritual existence which the seeker can see with his eyes of awareness or comes with his secret existence that can be seen with insight or comes with his existence of light that can be seen with the eyes of light. He surely blesses with his presence and meets some seekers physically while converses with some through waham, some through inspiration, some through reasoning, some through thoughts and some through messages or grants union to some seekers. Everyone who truly becomes his disciple, follower and spiritual progeny, attains Divine union and reaches the level of a special Saint. The Saints do not die rather they gain eternal life by the benediction of Ism- e-Allah Zaat. For the Saints, physical death means salvation from the reproach of people. The Holy Prophet said:  ‫ا‬ َ‫ف‬َ‫ر‬ َ ‫ع‬ ْ‫ن‬َ‫م‬ ْ‫ن‬ ُ ‫ک‬َ‫ی‬ْ‫م‬َ‫ل‬ُ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫لل‬ ً ‫ۃ‬ َّ ‫ذ‬َ‫ل‬‫ہ‬ َّ ‫ل‬ ِ‫ق‬ ْ ‫ل‬ َ ‫خ‬ ْ ‫ال‬ َ ‫ع‬َ‫م‬ Meaning: One who recognizes Allah finds no pleasure in the company of people.

(ar-Risala tul-Ghausia) For the Saints life and death are the same.

The Friends of Allah do not die, they just shift from one abode to another. (Kitab al-Ruh, Sharh al-Sudoor, Ayn al-Ilm wa Zain al-Hilm) Allah says;
  • 50. 49  ۡ‫ل‬َ‫ب‬ؕ ٌ ‫اة‬َ‫و‬ۡ‫م‬ َ ‫ا‬ِ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬ ِ ‫ل‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ب‬َ‫س‬ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ف‬ُ‫ل‬َ‫ت‬ ۡ ‫ق‬ ُّ ‫ی‬ ۡ‫ن‬َ‫ِم‬‫ل‬‫ا‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ل‬ۡ‫و‬ ُ ‫ق‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫ل‬َ‫و‬ َ‫ن‬ۡ‫و‬ُ‫ر‬ُ‫ع‬ ۡ ‫ش‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬ َّ ‫ل‬ ۡ‫ن‬ِ‫ک‬ّٰ‫ل‬ َّ‫و‬ٌ:‫ٓا‬َ‫ی‬ۡ‫ح‬ َ ‫ا‬ (2:154) Meaning: And do not say about those who are slain in the cause of Allah that they are dead. They are rather alive but you have no perception (of their life). (2:154) Command upon all kinds of knowledge, all jinns, humans and angels can be gained by dawat recited on the shrines and it is bestowed upon the Mystics who are men of contemplation and Divine presence. Do you know everyone whether common or special takes the name of Allah and recites Ism-e-Allah every day but does not know its essence, that is why they remain deprived of the delight of gnosis and closeness of Allah. The perfect spiritual guide reveals the essence of Ism-e-Allah Zaat by his persuasion and fulfils all the objectives of the seeker through it. Wise spiritual guide is the one who bestows four authorities upon the seeker so that he never becomes worried or perplexed. The Fakir independent of all needs is dominant upon all Saints and superior to the kings. Neither he needs nor requests anyone. Among the four authorities, first is authority upon ilm-e-dawat recited on the shrines. The Holy Prophet said;  ِ‫ع‬َ‫ت‬ْ‫اس‬ َ ‫ف‬ِ‫ر‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫م‬ ُ ‫ا‬ْ‫ال‬‫ی‬ِ‫ف‬ْ‫م‬ ُ ‫ت‬ْ‫ر‬ َّ ‫ی‬َ‫ح‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬ َ ‫ذ‬ِ‫ا‬ ْ‫ی‬ ْ‫و‬ُ‫ب‬ ُ ‫ق‬ ْ ‫ال‬ ِ ‫ل‬ْ‫ھ‬ َ ‫ا‬ ْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬‫ا‬ْ‫و‬ ُ ‫ن‬ ِ‫ر‬ Meaning: When you are confused (or worried) about your affairs, just seek help from the dwellers of the shrines. The seeker who accomplishes in ilm-e-dawat, gains all authorities forever. However, it is obligatory upon the seeker to keep his self under control. One who spends his life in gaining religious knowledge and also practises upon it, eventually becomes the perfect Fakir. The foundation of this path is closeness and union of Allah. It is not at all related to worldly honour which is gained by selling oneself due to the egoistic inciting self which keeps the inward indulged in sins day and night.
  • 51. 50 Listen my dear! One word reveals the entire knowledge contained in thousand books but the knowledge of that word cannot be contained in any book as it is Divine. Knowledge of that word is given to the Mystics who are eternally forgiven. No one can dare before these men of word. The word of secret is different from the word of attributes and the word of Essence is different from both. What do you know about the word? In fact you know nothing. That word is related to eternal Divine presence. Its cognition is acquired through the inspirational knowledge and its beneficence is an eternal favour. Earning lawfully, speaking truthfully and observing Divine presence grants this favour. Reaching the ultimate levels of gnosis, presence, closeness and union of Allah is the absolute favour. As mentioned in the Quran:  َ‫و‬ ۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ف‬ۡ‫و‬ َ ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫م‬ ۤۡ‫ی‬ِ‫ق‬ ِ‫ا‬ َّ ‫ل‬ ِ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬ِ‫ب‬‫ا‬ ( 11:88 ) Meaning: And I am favoured by none but Allah. (11:88) The basis of this path is knowledge, an ignorant cannot travel it. ‫بلط‬ ‫قح‬ ‫از‬ ‫ملع‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫لقع‬ ‫رتا‬ ‫رگ‬ ‫گس‬ ‫لثم‬ ‫و‬ ‫رخس‬ ‫و‬ ‫وخک‬ ‫اجالہم‬ Explanation: If you are wise, seek knowledge from Allah. The ignorant are like a pig, bear or a dog. There are three kinds of knowledge; the knowledge of Bedouin poets, knowledge of scholars and the knowledge of Sufis, Fakirs and Saints which is the gnosis of Oneness. The knowledge of poets is based on eloquence and wisdom and gained through consciousness. The scholars, jurists, exegetes, and Hadith relators gain knowledge by reading books and use it for discussions, arguments and dialogues. Whereas the Fakirs, Sufis, Mystics and Saints gain knowledge directly from closeness and presence of Allah-the Eternal. The conventional knowledge,
  • 52. 51 rituals, reading and writing the books, poetry and consciousness can neither take to the station of Divine presence nor grant its awareness. Beware and be wise! Everything other than Allah creates apprehensions. Obliterate it from your inward! Let me tell you about the presence gained through Ism-e-Allah Zaat. It is the treasure of beneficence of Allah which He bestows upon His true seekers without their struggle. It turns unfortunates into fortunate ones and fulfils all the wishes of seekers of Allah by His order and through the essence of shahada ‫ٓا‬َ‫ل‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬‫ا‬ َّ ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬َ‫ہ‬ّٰ‫ل‬ِ‫ا‬ ُ‫ل‬ْ‫و‬ُ‫س‬ َّ‫ر‬ ٌ‫د‬ َّ‫م‬َ‫ح‬ُ‫م‬ُ‫ہ‬ ِ‫ہ‬ ّّٰ ‫الل‬. Whoever recites shahada sincerely, the hellfire is forbidden upon him while the faith, heaven, compassion and mercy incline towards him and love him. He accomplishes jamiat and gains authority upon all the treasures as well as upon the destiny regarding sustenance. He is empowered so much because he is the true reciter of shahada and all the powers, treasures, eternal destiny and beneficence are in the core of shahada and Ism-e- Allah Zaat. The perfect spiritual guide reveals the core of shahada by his spiritual attention upon the true seeker and also shows him all the powers, treasures and his destiny. Because, shahada is the truth, from the Truth and grants the truth along with gnosis of Allah. It is the honour of Allah and from Allah. A wretched, unfortunate and unwise person will not like this book. It contains treasure of Divine knowledge for the fortunate ones. The Fakir grants its verification, bestows all treasures and blesses with Divine vision. A wise man will gain these blessings but an unwise will remain stuck in his desires of wealth and fame. This script is a touchstone for the scholars, jurists, Fakirs, Mystics and Saints as it elevates to the higher levels of Divine guidance and gnosis and confers presence in the Mohammadan Assembly by the grace of Allah. One who reads it repeatedly day and night, becomes independent of all needs in the world and the hereafter.

Proficiency in this knowledge makes one generous. Some people gain wisdom after being advised by others, they are like beggars. However the Saints of Allah are blessed with knowledge and wisdom directly from Allah without any advises, it is called total wisdom. Such a Fakir is ruler upon every part and whole. Whereas a scholar reads books just to gain information which cannot prevent him from greed and covetousness even if he keeps discussing the exegesis. The Holy Prophet said:  ِ ّ‫ل‬ ُ ‫ِک‬‫ل‬ ْ‫ی‬ َ ‫ش‬ ٍ: ّٰ‫ا‬ ٌ ‫ۃ‬ َ ‫ف‬ َ‫و‬ ُ ‫ۃ‬ َ ‫ف‬ّٰ‫ا‬ ِ‫ع‬ْ‫م‬ َّ ‫لط‬‫ا‬ِ‫ب‬ ِ‫م‬ ْ ‫ل‬ِ‫ع‬ ْ ‫ال‬ Meaning: There is catastrophe in everything and the catastrophe of knowledge is covetousness. That is why the seeker should first gain the knowledge of ghanayat as well as authority upon the alchemy of skill and alchemy of sight, then guide others. Intimating the special seeker
  • 54. 53 with the knowledge of alchemy is a rewarding deed but giving this knowledge to an incapable seeker is a big mistake. Whoever imparts it to an unwise person, is himself responsible for his decline and disastrous consequences. Fakir is the one who can exercise every authority proficiently, is perfect in every contemplation, accomplished in every kind of attention and reflection. He must be comprehensive of all the levels and pure of covetousness. ‫آاتفب‬ ‫قح‬ ‫ز‬ ‫و‬ ‫اتس‬ ‫ونر‬ ‫کی‬ ‫لقع‬ ‫اتہمب‬ ‫لثمب‬ ‫رونش‬ ‫وشیمد‬ Explanation: Wisdom is a light illuminated by the sun of Truth.
