Preface
On one hand, it's an honor that I have been blessed
with the opportunity to write this preface. But on the
other hand, I do not consider myself worthy to write
the introduction to the articles written by my highly
affectionate and respected teacher and Hazrat Allah
Yar Khan'sRA
Authorized Successor, Major (Retd)
Ghulam Muhammad. My tongue and my pen are not
at all worthy of commenting on what Hazrat Ghulam
Muhammad has written. However, as it was my
Hazrat's wish, I am daring to write these lines in the
compliance of his orders.
Major Ghulam Muhammad Sahib is a resident of Wan
Bhachran district Mianwali. He was just two months
old when he lost his mother. He had not started going
to school when his father also expired. His parental
aunt raised and educated him. He earned
scholarships throughout his schooling, from the fifth
grade to the university, so he didn’t face any problem
in completing his education. He got a commission in
the Pakistan Army in 1966. He met Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRA
in the last month of 1969. That was the day
he stepped into the field of Tasawwuf and Salook,
and since then, he never stopped walking on this path
to this day. He is now the leader of a Jamaat of Silsila
Naqshbandia Awaisia.

Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad's father's name was
Muhammad Ramzan. He has three sons: Abdul
Ghafoor (Late), Ghulam Hussain, and Ghulam
Muhammad. How lucky his father must be, that all of
his three sons are present in the ProphetSalAllahu-alaih-
Wasallam
's Court. Major Ghulam Muhammad's spiritual
Baet took place in 1970, and he was blessed with the
position of an "Authorized Successor" by the Holy
ProphetSalAllahu-alaih-Wasallam
in 1974. His way of
preaching is unique. He casts down the Lights from
his Station upon the person that he wants to bring into
the Silsila, and prays to Allah every day after
Tahajjud, that Allah may accept that person for his
remembrance and Zikr. If that person does not join
the Zikr for five to six weeks, he considers him
unlucky and thinks that he doesn’t have it in his
destiny that Allah should accept him for His
remembrance. Hence, he stops thinking about that
person.
Major Ghulam Muhammad Sahib has been a part of
the Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia for over 45 years. He
hasn’t gathered any worldly effects. He lives in a
shack, practices Allah, Allah, and make others do
Allah, Allah. He recited the Darood Shareef ten-million
times in twenty-six years. He also wrote the Quran
with his own hand in 2013.
Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad holds a distinct place
among the Authorized Successors of Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRA
. The reason is the exalted honor that was only
bestowed upon Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad, that the

Holy ProphetSalAllahu-alaih-Wasallam
inscribed his name
with his own blessed hand in the list of the successors
presented by Hazrat Allah Yar KhanRA
.
These writings of Major Ghulam Muhammad Sahib
are a precious asset for our comprehensive guidance.
These articles consist of the feelings, observations
and experiences that he went through during his
journey on the path of Salook, and constitute an
extremely rare collection of principles for acquiring the
'subject-specialty' of Salook.
May Allah, The Most High, bless Hazrat Ghulam
Muhammad with higher Stations and rewards, and
keep the link between our hearts, and may his
blessed shadow stay on our heads forever. Ameen,
again, Ameen.

From Chikrala
28-9-1974 Nacheez1
Allah Yar Khan
In the service of my dear Ghulam Muhammad Sahib,
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Islam started off from an apparently very low point.
Soon, it will again be observed at a very low point.
This is the age of waywardness. It is pitch darkness
all around. It's a black night, and as the storms of
darkness blow all around, you people are shining like
luminous lamps.
The lamp that Allah has Himself lit will not be affected
by the hostile winds of blackness at all.
1 Out of humility, Hazrat Allah Yar Khan used to write "Nacheez"
with his name. It literally means "nothing".

You've written about the people who oppose Baig
Sahib and other Zaakireen2
. My dear, these people
are not against you or Baig Sahib. In fact, they are the
enemies of the Deen3
. They harbor enmity against the
Deen and against Allah, the Glorious. They are the
wayward, the faithless.
You can advance anyone who you think is capable.
However, you have been granted standing permission
only till Salik-al-Majzoobi4
. When you come to
Chikrala, you'll also be given the written certificate to
the effect. And you have also been granted an
Appointment. Whatever (Appointment) was decided
for you by Allah SWT, Huzoor-e-Anwar5Sall-Allahu-alaih-

has been given to
you.
Your affair is unlike it used to be. Now, you are an
Authorized Successor and Abdaal7
. You are among
the five companions whom Allah SWT has blessed
with His permission.

Special Instructions
Hazrat Allah Yar KhanRA
I'm observing that in these treacherous times, the
people's spiritual capacity is declining day by day.
Moreover, I also feel a lack of effort and hard work
among the companions of the circle (of Zikr). Some of
our companions are inclined towards personal fame
and projection, and are afflicted by a rot in their
affairs.
With this background, the following special
instructions are being issued for the proper spiritual
training and guidance of my friends.
1. By Allah's blessing, the Spiritual Baet9
is solely
in my domain. The seeker's ability is a
precondition for this (Baet). Only those who
obey the Shariah and have the ache (to spread
this light to others) will be bestowed with this
supreme blessing. This will usually take place
during the Aetkaf or the annual congregation at
Munara, after performing due diligence.
9 In Awaisia, the seekers that have the capability are blessed with a
spiritual oath of allegiance at the blessed hands of the Holy Prophet
(‫.)ﷺ‬

2. No one except me is authorized to take people
to the Upper Destinations. If someone has
been taken to these Destinations without me,
it's merely an illusion or wishful thinking.
Moreover, if someone has been taken beyond
the Triple Meditations without me, he should
not think that he is cleared for those Stations.
The people who have been duly Authorized
and appointed by me can take others till the
Triple Meditations and the Triple Circles, and
can also give spiritual attention till their own
Stations. Out of these people, today I authorize
the following for taking others to the Stations till
the Prophet'sSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
Court.
1. Malik Muhammad Akram, 2. Col
Matloob Hussain, 3. Syed Bunyad Hussain
Shah, 4. Hafiz Abdul Razzaq, 5.
Muhammad Ahsan Baig, 6. Hafiz Ghulam
Qadri, 7. Ghulam Muhammad (Wan
Bhachran, Mianwali), 8. Khan Muhammad
Irani, 9. Maulana Abdul Ghafoor, 10. Syed
Muhammad Hassan (Zhob)
3. The people who are not Authorized, but are
blessed with the Spiritual Baet, can teach the
Lata-if10
to others and can also give spiritual
attention until the Triple Meditations. They are
not permitted to give Attention to others
beyond that. However, the appointed Ameers
10 The subtle points located in the chest.

of the Circles of Zikr in foreign countries are
permitted to take others till the Triple
Meditations, provided that they (Ameers) are
themselves blessed with the Spiritual Baet.
Moreover, it should always be remembered that in the
path of Salook, complete adherence to the Shariah of
MuhammadSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
, the seeker's sincerity,
the link between his heart and the Shaykh's heart,
and his obedience to the Shaykh are extremely
important affairs.
Nacheez Faqeer Allah Yar KhanRehmatullah Alaih
, from
Munara 30-8-1982 (CE)
10 Zeqad, 1402 (AH)

His Words Are Full of
Fragrance
I'm not going to make a speech, just teach a few
things. Remember them.
The first thing is, why do we come here11
? Do we
come here to look at these walls? The land is not
ours, nor is the sky. Nor do we come here to look at
the grave. We come to this congregation only for
pleasing Allah, because people get a lot of benefit by
coming here. Other than this, we have no purpose.
Secondly, it is the mutually agreed belief of Ahl-e-
Sunnat wa-Al-Jamaat12
that Faiz (or spiritual benefit)
can be acquired from the spirit. The spirit is alive.
Death takes place when the connection of the spirit
with the body is severed. This phenomenon is known
as the demise of the form. Death, as we know it, is
the separation of the spirit from the body. The spirit
itself never dies. This is also the mutually agreed
11 This excerpt is from Hazrat Jee's address at Langar Makhdoom,
the resting place of Hazrat Allah Deen Madni Rehmatullah Alaih
12 A branch of Muslims that follows the way of the Sunnah and the
way of the righteous ancestors.

upon belief to which all religions testify. We have an
origin, we were created, but we'll never perish. Just as
the Paradise and the Hell will never perish and will be
eternally present. In the same way, the Guarded
Tablet, Kursi13
(Allah's Throne), the rewards of the
Paradise, the virgins and the servants will never
perish.
Now, we come to our affair. Understand this. Even if
we keep sitting beside the grave for a hundred years,
we can never acquire Faiz until we are not connected
to the Shaykh and his spirit. The connection can only
be established if a living person connects us with him.
There are thousands of veils between us and them
(the dwellers of the graves). We think of the grave to
be a mound of dust, but actually there are countless
veils that separate us from them. So, there has to be
such a person who tears through these veils, takes us
to the other side and establishes our connection and
relationship with the person of the grave. Only then
can the Faiz be extracted. For acquiring Faiz, it is
imperative to have a Shaykh.
A few days back, I was sitting in Nowshehra when a
Maulvi Sahib came to see me. He was quite learned
and educated (in the matters of the Deen) and had
been teaching Hadees in Akora Khatak for a long
time. He asked two questions. The first one was: can
the Faiz be acquired from the spirit or the grave
without having a Shaykh? I said no. He asked: then
13 Allah's Chair or Throne

how come you were able to extract Faiz from the
grave? I said: I have also reached there through a
living person. My teacher, who established my
connection with my Shaykh, was the means of my
knowledge.
The second question he asked was: what is the
difference between an Arif14
and a Zakir15
? I replied
that it's a logically sound principle that defines the
two. Every Arif is a Zakir, but every Zakir is not an
Arif. To be a Zakir, no teacher of Shaykh is needed.
One can keep doing Zikr all one's life by oneself.
However, to be an Arif, it is mandatory to have a
Shaykh. He cannot progress without a Shaykh. In
order to tread on the Destinations of Salook,
obedience to the Shaykh is just as crucial as if
someone is holding the staff of a blind man and
leading him along the bank of a river. The blind man
will walk directly behind his guide. He will not dare to
take a step left or right, because he knows that if he
does not follow the guide, he will drown and perish in
the river, or will be eaten by a crocodile. He follows
completely and without fail, matching each step with
his guide.
Or take the example of a blind man following
someone holding his stick as he climbs to the top of a
mountain. He will follow straight behind his guide,
because he knows that if he does not follow the guide
14 Arif comes from Irfan, which means 'knowledge'. Arif is someone
who has the knowledge of Allah.
15 The person who engages in Zikr regularly

precisely, he will fall to his bone-crushing death.
Scavengers will feed on him. In the same way, one
has to walk behind the Shaykh in Salook and obey
him completely. Or take the example of someone who
is standing on a rooftop or mountain top and flying a
kite. The kite soars high and may fly two or three
miles away from the person flying it, but if the string
breaks, the kite will crash into the trees and be torn
apart and destroyed. Why? Because, the string that
connected the kite to its flyer breaks. The connection
breaks. The relationship breaks. However, the kite
does not fall immediately. It is carried by the wind,
circles for some time, and finally, crashes. Similarly,
when the connection with the Shaykh breaks, even a
person having the highest Destinations falls gradually
and is destroyed.
Obedience to the Shaykh is also mandatory for the
Lata-if. For instance, if a sick person goes to a doctor
or a physician, the latter prescribes medicine and diet
for the patient. He tells the patient what is beneficial to
him and also advises the patient to refrain from
certain things. And the patient has to follow the
instructions. On the other hand, there are certain
prerequisites for becoming a Shaykh as well. Many a
people have been ruined as a result of following
ignorant and wrongful guides. The first condition for
the Shaykh is that he must be an Aalim16
. It's not that
only the person who has read many books is an
16 A person who is knowledgeable in the matters of the Deen

Aalim. The illustrious Companions17Razi Allah Anhu
did not
read any books. Most of the Tab'een18
did not read
books. They memorized everything that the Holy
ProphetSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
said. Then, the Shaykh
must know the beliefs of the Ahl-e-Sunnat-wa-Al-
Jamaat. Remember! This thing (Salook) is not to be
found except from Ahl-e-Sunnat-wa-Al-Jamaat. It is
not there in any other sect. There is no one in the
world who can say that they have it, except Ahl-e-
Sunnat-wa-Al-Jamaat. I have seen in all the four
Schools (of Fiqah). There's more Light in Hanfia, and
the majority of the Sufis belongs to the Hanfia
School.. So, it's mandatory for the Shaykh to be an
Aalim. It is strictly forbidden to do the Baet with an
ignorant person. The person taking and doing such a
Baet are both sinners and wrongdoers. The other
thing is that the Shaykh must be a follower of the
Shariah. He must be a regular performer of the
mandatory worships (Farz), obligatory worships
(Wajib), and compulsory Sunnah worships
(Muakkida). He may or may not perform the voluntary
worships (Nafl), but the performance of the Farz,
Wajib and Sunnat Muakkida is a must. Nafl is not a
compulsion. But, if he does perform them, he should
perform Tahajjud and Awwabeen, and should look
after his Heart. All these things are extremely
important for a Shaykh. All the Ulema19
are
unanimous on this. He must be an expert at the
17 Sahaba Karaam, or the Companions of the Holy Prophet (SAW)
18 The successors of the Sahaba
19 Plural of Aalim. Knowledgeable persons.

knowledge that he has gained (Tasawwuf). It is not
necessary that he is more pious and righteous than
his disciples. Piety is another thing. We know that if
the whole Jamaat is weighed against Qazi Sahib in
piety, Qazi Sahib alone will weigh heavier. It's
obvious, but it's not a condition for becoming the
Shaykh. However, he must be an expert in the
particular knowledge that someone wants to acquire
from him. It must not happen that he distorts that
knowledge.
The Quran has laid down four conditions for the
Shaykh. (1) He should be hardworking and tough like
a camel, (2) He should have a determination as high
as the sky, (3) He should be steadfast like a
mountain, (4) He should be balanced like the earth;
that is, he must have the humility and selflessness. If
you get such a Shaykh, become the dust in his feet.
Become a lace in his shoes. I have taught you this
lesson (Tasawwuf) on these very conditions. Among
the etiquettes with the Shaykh, let me mention the
major things that I have observed and that harm the
seeker. Do not stare at the Shaykh's face. The doctor
or the physician must be obeyed for taking the
medicine. If the patient does not follow the
instructions, he will not be healed, or he may even
die.
These days, the biggest trouble is that the knowledge
of Tasawwuf has become extinct. Its experts are no
more, and the world has denied it. There's no spiritual
physician, no guide. If you read the Quran, from the

beginning to the end, it detaches one from the world
and invites attention towards Allah. Get focused on
Allah and connect with Him.
The gist of 104 heavenly scriptures is included in four
Books; and the gist of these four Books is in the Holy
Quran; and the gist of the whole Quran is in Surah
Baqrah; and the gist of the whole Surah Baqrah is in
Surah Fateha; and the gist of the whole Surah Fateha
is in Bismillah; and the gist of the Bismillah is in the
letter "‫"ب‬20
. This is the "‫"ب‬ of togetherness (with
Allah). The purpose of sending the Prophets is that
the people who have broken their link with God and
are trapped in the claws of the Satan are set free and
joined with Allah. The Prophets are deputed to
connect the whole mankind with Allah. This is the
verdict of the Quran that people should be distracted
from the world and joined with Allah. The one who
refutes this (Tasawwuf) is deprived of this reward and
blessing. Some of them are absolute deniers. Some
are copy cats and color-sellers. Then, there are the
ordinary folks, who do not appreciate the difference
between a color seller, a color copier, and a color
maker. They do not distinguish a doctor from a
pharmacist. They are unable to differentiate between
a patient and a healer. All of them are suffering from
the disease of the Heart, barring very few.
There are three degrees of Tasawwuf. The first one is
to do Zikr with the tongue, that one should just repeat
20 Arabic letter B

Allah, Allah. One should say Subhan-Allah, or La-
Ilaha-il-Allah. The Darood Sharif or the Astaghfar
should be recited. This is the degree where the
medicine is being prepared. This is not Tasawwuf.
The condition will not improve unless the medicine is
used. The second degree is Lata-if, where the person
starts using the medicine and the treatment has
started. Then come the Destinations, as if the patient
has used the medicine and gained the ability to walk
about and run around. Allah SWT has commanded
that the houses where Allah's Zikr is carried out must
be kept free from filthy and stinky things. There
should be nothing evil at that place. There should be
solitude, and the light should be put off. If there's light,
you can cover your head with a piece of cloth. Our
master the Holy ProphetSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
adopted
solitude in the cave of Hira. Detachment from the
world and engagement in worships is the practice
(Sunnah) of the ProphetsAlaih as-Salam
.
The floor where Zikr is being done should be
considered sacred and kept clean. When Prophet
MosesAlaih as-Salam
was conversing with Allah, it was
decreed: 'take off your shoes. This is a holy place.'
The water supply coming from outside, from a lake or
through pipes, is polluted by impurities. Block this
external supply, so that nothing from the outside world
enters into your Heart. That's we close our eyes, ears
and mouth, so that they stop letting in the impurities
from the external world. Now, bore a hole into your
Heart with Zikr-Allah. Install the pump of Allah's Zikr
on it. And fountains of Divine Lights will spring forth

from it. When this water of Lights will flow, it will
cleanse others' Hearts as well, and from this water of
Lights, Kashaf21
will be achieved.
Some Ulema and even Sufis have said that the non-
believers also have Kashaf. Upon research, it was
revealed that Kashaf depends upon the Light of Faith
(Iman). Without the Light of Faith, there's no Kashaf.
The Light of Faith is intensified by good deeds. A
person of Faith does have the capacity in his/her
Heart. The Light of Faith is present in it. Kashaf is
related to the Light of Faith. For example, it's not the
eyeballs that see, but the light behind them that does.
The loud speaker does not speak, but the person
behind it does. The Qalb does not see by itself, but
the Light of righteous deeds inside it does. How can a
non-believer possess the Light of Faith or do
righteous deeds? There are non-believers who
become monks. Through tough training, their flesh is
reduced to an extent that they become the likes of
skeletons. The blood in their bodies is reduced. When
the blood is reduced, whiteness is born in the Heart. If
anyone has doubts, you can do a simple experiment.
Take an animal's liver and place it in the sun. After
some time, you can see your reflection in it, just like
you can see it in a stainless-steel utensil or a mirror.
In the same way, when the blood is reduced, the
Heart will start shining. It will reflect whatever comes
in front of it. If it's a mountain, you'll see the reflection
of it. If it's a tree, you'll see a tree. And if a person
21 Paranormal Vision

comes in front of it, you will see that person's
reflection. This is not Kashaf. Kashaf is related to the
Light of Faith. You cannot see an angel or Jinn in a
mirror. You cannot see the retribution and reward of
the grave in it. Nor can you see the Paradise, the Hell,
or any other subtle or ethereal entity. Whiteness is
born in a non-believer's Heart because of a lack of
blood and flesh, which people mistake as the Kashaf.
The non-believers' condition can be explained by the
analogy of an ocean, in which there are gigantic
waves. A wave comes, followed by the next, and they
are covered by the shadow of the clouds—darkness
upon darkness. A non-believer's actions, his words,
and the beliefs in his heart are nothing except
darkness. A person's hand is the closest to him or
her. You can take your hand to your eyes, or your
head, and can move it about. But the non-believer
cannot see even his own hand in this pitch darkness.
If Allah has not created the Light for a particular
person, from where can the Light possibly come to
such a person? It's a common misconception that
non-believers have Kashaf. We can present not a
thousand, but several thousand Sufis. In our Circle of
Zikr, there are 800-900 companions who are blessed
with Kashaf and who can talk to spirits. They can
perceive the punishment of the grave and the reward,
and can converse with angels. But, for this to happen,
a Clean Heart is a must. No personage is greater than
the CompanionsRazi Allah Anhu
. Many illustrious
personalities came after the Prophets, but no one can
reach the status of the CompanionsRazi Allah Anhu
.

An Aalim once stated the superiority of Imam Mehdi
over the Shaykhs (Companions). I said to him to
come to his senses and listen to me. We consider
Imam Mehdi to be a very high personage, but he does
not rival even the shoes of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique
Allah Anhu
and Hazrat Umar FarooqRazi Allah Anhu
. Imam
Mehdi will come centuries after them. There is no
comparison between him and the Companions of the
ProphetSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
. Even then, Allah warned
them, "say to them (O Prophet), that unless your
fathers, sons, wives, tribes and families, the money
that you earn, the business in which you fear a loss,
the houses where you live, if all these things are
dearer to you than Allah and His Prophet, you just
wait! Allah does not guide the sinners." Father, son,
wealth, or anything else, when someone brings it at
par with Allah and His ProphetSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
, then
such a person is a sinner. His Heart is not intact, but
is stained with the love of the other. If the Quran has
warned the CompanionsRazi Allah Anhu
, where do we
stand? There is but a single Heart, not two. Allah says
that if someone else enters this house (Heart), it is as
if you are ascribing that person or thing as My partner.
This will lead to anxiety. So, a man must think. The
age that we live in is a transient age. Keep in mind
that our relationship with our wife and kids, wealth,
property, business, or the livestock that we own, must
be a relationship of protecting and managing these
things, so that they are not destroyed. The link of
Heart must only be established with Allah. The
worships also depend on this link. When Zikr-Allah

comes, it brings the Love of Allah. It expels other
things from the Heart.
Hazrat SulaimanAlaih as-Salam
wrote a letter to Queen
Bilqees, that she must quit the headstrongness, vanity
and pride that occupy her mind and come to him after
becoming a Muslim. She understood that this letter
was from a man of Allah, because he made no other
demands. She called her deputies, advisors and
generals, told them about the letter, and asked for
their advice. All of them said that they were a
formidable power. They had a lot of strength and a
huge army. They were a warlike nation. However,
they said that the Queen's verdict was the final
command for them. They would do exactly as she
said. The Queen said that when a king enters a city
with his brutal force, he ravages it and humiliates the
honorable of that city. If their city were attacked, they
would be routed.
We, all of us who are sitting here today, are
respectable people. If pride and vanity entrenches in
our Hearts, we shall be humiliated too. Allah's Zikr
expels this cursed sentiment from the Heart. As a
result, a Clean Heart is born, in which only Allah
resides. A young relative of mine once asked Qazi
Sahib that he had read explanations of the Quran
(Tafseer), but could not understand what a Clean
Heart22
is. I said to them, let me tell you about the
Clean Heart. Imagine that the earth, the heaven, and
22 Qalb-e-Saleem

the creation that they contain, is a chicken. Then,
slaughter that chicken. What will be left behind then?
Only Allah, and nothing else. How can the Heart go
elsewhere? It will go straight to Allah's door. This is
the Clean Heart.

Keep Praying for Your
Steadfastness
My Murshed Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRehmatullah
Alaih
wrote the following on November 7, 1963 in reply
to a letter from one of his students:
"You don't know that I have also spent 16 years (on
the path of Salook). It was after 16 years that tiny
water droplets emerged. After 20 years, the waves of
a river started. After 22 years, the river swelled up into
a storm. And after twenty-three-and-a-half years, the
waves of a sea were born. Remember that Salook
starts from the Station of Ahdiyyat, and half of it
finishes by the Kamalaat-e-Ulul-Azmi. From there on,
the remaining half of Allah's Friendship belongs to
Prophet MuhammadSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
. Beyond the
ninth Arsh, the Realm of Amazement or the Realm of
Commandment starts, in which several Destinations
are located. The last Destination is the Station of
Tasleem, where the Friendship (with Allah) of the

Aulia23
ends. From there, the Friendship of Prophets
starts, which includes the Stations of Khulah,
Muhabbat, Takleemi, Muhibbiyat-e-Khasa, Hub-e-
Sarfa, Raza, and onwards the Station of Kamalaat-e-
Nabuwwat, Kamalaat-e-Risalat, and then, Ulul-Azmi.
From there, the Friendship of our master Hazrat
starts, in which there
are gigantic waves of the sea. This wrongdoer is
swimming and diving in these waves. Remember that
none of the Aulia-Allah has ever reached beyond the
Station of Khulah, except Shaykh Abdul Qadir
JilaniRehmatullah Alaih
. This is the bounty of Allah, which
He grants to whomever He wants. This is beyond the
capability of a human.
My dear friend! Always keep praying to God. This is
not anyone's personal excellence. Beyond the Station
of Raza, the kind of relationship between a Wali-Allah
and God becomes similar to the relationship between
God and the ProphetsAlaih as-Salam
. Beyond this Station,
the Wali also starts acquiring Faiz from Allah in the
same way as the Prophets acquire Faiz. This
knowledge and understanding was revealed after (I
crossed) the Station of Raza. However, the Wali
acquires this Faiz because of his obedience to the
Prophets and by properly following them. It is
impossible without following the ProphetsAlaih as-Salam
.
The Prophet acquires this Faiz directly. [Arabic
Verses from the Holy Quran] "You are Perfect, I have
23 Pl of Wali. Means friend, but used in the sense of Allah's
Friendship.

no knowledge except that which you granted me. O
my Lord, increase my knowledge." Dear friend, do not
speak about these things openly.
My dear! I now preach because I am tasked to do it
by the Mashaykh and Huzoor24Sall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
. I
teach of the books, and engage in the worldly
business to some extent. I give my Attention, conduct
Zikr and teach Salook. But, my heart just wants to be
alone with Allah, without anyone else coming between
us. What I did not know, God has blessed me with. I
thank His Being a million times. Only He is the fulfiller
of all my needs. Only He is sufficient. Only He is to be
trusted, worshipped and prostrated before. Only He is
the purpose. There is no other god but Allah, Allah,
Allah.
Keep these things in your heart. My Lord will ask me:
O Allah Yar, what have you written? Why have you
revealed the secret? Did anyone out of the previous
(Aulia) mention these Destinations?"
Six year later, on November 9, 1969, my Shaykh
wrote in reply to another student:
"Received your letter. You have asked about the
Doubts25
(that the Satan puts in the hearts). Dear
friend, the same thing is not written again and again.
Remember it once and for all, the Doubts do not

Allahu alaih Wasallam
25 The actual word is "waswasa". These are the negative thoughts
that the Satan injects into the hearts of people.

affect the Friendship, nor do they undermine the
excellence (achieved in the way of Salook). There is
no dichotomy between the Doubt and the Friendship.
The Friendship stays intact even when the Doubt
keeps happening. Even Hazrat AdamAlaih as-Salam
was
affected by the Doubt, even though he was a Prophet
of Allah. The Doubt just causes anxiety of the Heart.
Secondly, the pests do not enter the house in which
there are no grains (of rice, wheat, etc). The Doubt
also happens to the person who has this treasure.
Thieves and dacoits only commit theft or robbery
where there is wealth. When the Lights are born in the
Lata-if, when the treasure of Lights is created,
Iblees26
, who is the thief and the dacoit, gets an ache
in his stomach to break into that house and plunder
this wealth. Before the Lata-if were lit up, it was all
darkness in the inside world. The thief Iblees used to
steal easily. Now, when the Lights have illuminated
the inside because of the Light of Allah's Zikr, and the
Lata-if can also be heard chanting Allah, Allah, this
thief cannot fully achieve his aim. He wants to adopt
every tactic to get what he wants. The seeker who
understands that Iblees is the enemy and wants to
rob him by every means never cares for the Doubt,
and remains steadfast upon Zikr.
The reality is that the Jamaat of Sufia Arifeen27
started
toward the end of the fifth century (AH) and their
numbers remained substantial until the beginning of
26 Satan's name
27 Pl of Sufi and Arif

the tenth century. They had ample presence in all
territories. The Jamaat of the Ulema was huge. Until
the fourth century (AH), the disciples of the Taba-
Tabaeen28
were alive. Upon their demise, Allah SWT
created this Jamaat of Aulia in large numbers. The
accomplished personalities that I see in the Barzakh29
belong to the times between the fifth and the tenth
century (AH). Those from whom we have acquired the
Faiz also belong to the same age. Then, after the
tenth century, their numbers dwindled. Then, in the
14th century, God save us! Only shopkeepers remain.
There's no shortage of the shopkeeper Sufis. They
are the color mixers, color sellers, but none of them is
a color maker. However, it does happen sometimes
that when the rain of Allah's Lights pours down, it
showers upon these people. Allah SWT keeps
creating the Aulia from time to time. Their affair is
similar to that of the Prophets, out of whom some are
Ulul-Azam30
, some are Rasools31
, and some are
Nabis32
. The Ulul-Azam are born once in every few
centuries. The Rasools are also sent with longer
gaps. The Nabis have been coming in every day and
age. With the Prophethood of Allah's RasoolSall-Allahu-
alaih-Wasallam

Upon the demise of the Respected ProphetSall-Allahu-

Qazi Ayaz's Al-Shafi Haqooq Al-Mustafa, and its
explanation by Mullah Ali Qari, Tanzeel Makka, and in
Naseem-ul-Riaz by Allama Shahab Khafaji. Allah
SWT pacified the earth, that I shall bring forth
Siddique33
and Qutb-e-Wahdat34
in the earth. Your
Shaykh's Appointment is also Qutb-e-Wahdat. And
Allah said I will bring forth Afraad, Qayyum and
Ghaus35
. Someone will be Qutb-e-Irshad, someone
will be Qutb-e-Madaar, someone will be Qutb-al-
Aqtaab, and someone will be Qutb-e-Abdaal. And
there will be Abdaal too, who will be the peons of the
Qutb-e-Abdaal. And I shall not leave the earth empty
(of these noble souls). The lower Ranks get the Faiz
from the person at the highest Appointment. If there's
a Siddiq present, who is not present today, the Faiz
descends from him. If there's a Qutb-e-Wahdat
present, all the rest of the Appointments get the Faiz
from him. If he is not present, it's because of the
Qayyum that the others get the Faiz, and if there's no
Qayyum, then because of the Ghaus. The Qayyum
and the Afraad, and the Qutb-e-Wahdat, and the
Siddiq—these people Allah creates rarely, after
several centuries. These are the Appointments for the
Ulul-Azm. As for you people, despite being occupied
in your (worldly) businesses, and eating the Haraam36

earning, and living in the company of sinners,
listening to music, making your eyes guilty of (looking

, despite all this, you are still a
member of this Jamaat, and the Lights of Zikr don't
get taken away from you, this also is the blessing of
your Shaykh's spiritual power, and the Mercy from
Allah. Otherwise, far be it from paid servants to
acquire this extreme delicacy. Son, you must be
thankful to God. Always pray for your steadfastness.

The Last Guide Hazrat
Maulana Allah Yar KhanRA
He was born in 1904. His ancestral country is the
town of Chikrala. The town is located 10 kilometers
north of the highway connecting Mianwali and
Talagang. Most of the population here belongs to the
Awan tribe. He was also an Awan. His father's name
was Zulfiqar. These were the times when education
was not very common. A fifth-grader was considered
to be well-read and learned. The British were ruling
India. The twentieth century was beginning to unfold
and the signs of sever disturbance and unrest were
beginning to emerge across India. When the
movements against the Turk began surfacing in the
Balqans in 1907-1908, the Muslims of India also felt
severely agitated. It was the same feeling of
restlessness that incited the leader of Deo Band38
Maulana Mehmood-ul-Hassan to launch a new
movement among the Muslims. Hazrat Maulana Allah
Yar KhanRehmatullah Alaih
was still in his childhood, but a
disdain for the British settled into his heart.
38 A major Islamic school in India

One night, his mother dreamed that a saint had come
to their house. He gave her two pouches and said that
they were for her son. The two pouches represented
the knowledge of the visible and the subtle. The
Shaykh left for DeoBand to acquire the knowledge of
the apparent. He had to go to Delhi for the course of
Hadees, because the Deoband School was closed
those days on account of the Silk Handkerchief
movement. The teachers of Deoband had either been
imprisoned by the British or exiled. Those who were
free had diverted to the Ameenia School in Delhi,
which was being run under the supervision of
Maulana Mufti Kifayatullah. After graduating from
Delhi, he went to Langar Makhdoom, where he met
Hazrat Maulana Abdul RaheemRehmatullah Alaih
, through
whom his spiritual link was established with Sultan-ul-
Arifeen Hazrat Allah Deen MadniRehmatullah Alaih
. He
acquired the Faiz through the Awaisi Method from the
resting place of his Murshed. Here, he was initiated
into the learning of the subtle. Because it was the
Awaisia Silsila39
, the completion of his mystical
education took place at the hands of our master
Hazrat Muhammad MustafaSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
.
Once Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRehmatullah Alaih
fell
sick, and I went to Chikrala to inquire after his health.
Doctor Ghulam Mustafa from Joharabad was also
there. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
told us that when he
was at Langar Makhdoom, and when his Murshed
39 Can be loosely translated as a spiritual order or chain of
succession

Hazrat Allah Deen MadniRehmatullah Alaih
took him
through the Destinations of Fana-Fillah and Baqa-
Billah, he returned home after taking permission from
his Murshed. When he was home, he fell sick with
severe fever that refused to abate. The stomach was
repulsing food and drink. Vomiting and motions made
him extremely feeble. This condition persisted for 40
days, and he used to offer Namaz40
with gestures. On
the fortieth day, his family and friends lost hope of his
recovery and started reciting Surah Yaseen41
.
"My eyes were closed, when suddenly, a saintly figure
appeared. He said to me: 'I'm your Murshed. You did
not have the strength to progress further, so your
body was made weak to strengthen the spirit.' He
said—'Go to Ahdiyyat42
'. Then he took me through
Maeeyat and Aqrabiyyat, and then performed Fana-
Baqa. Then, he said—'Go to Salik Al-Majzoobi'. Then
he took me through the River of Rehmat, and gave to
me new clothes to wear. 'From here, the Upper
Friendship starts. The clothes that are given to the
spirit at Ahdiyyat only last till here. The attire for the
Upper Friendship is different.' He said that I was well.
The fever subsided immediately, and I sat up. My
family members asked me to lie down, but I said that I
had recovered. They touched my skin and found out
that the fever was really gone. It had been sixteen
years since I started Zikr. It was now that I started to
see, with my eyes closed.

42 The first of the Triple Meditations

After about a week or ten days when I went to Langar
Makhdoom, I narrated the whole incident to Maulana
Abdul RaheemRehmatullah Alaih
. He was exasperated. He
angrily stepped out towards the tomb of Hazrat Allah
Deen MadniRehmatullah Alaih
. I also followed. Upon
reaching the tomb, he said to the Murshed that he
had been superseded while his disciple had been
advanced. This was an insult to him, he said. Hazrat
Allah Deen MadniRehmatullah Alaih
counseled Maulana
Abdul Raheem that you are my grave's caretaker,
whereas he is Shaykh-e-Silsila43
. It is he for whose
training I've been sent here from the luminous city of
Madina. Be warned! Never try to rival him, or you'll
suffer a great loss. After this incident, our position
became rather awkward. I considered him my teacher
and respected him like before, whereas he started
respecting me considering me Shaykh-e-Silsila. Allah
SWT did not allow this situation to continue for long,
and called Maulana Abdul Raheem to Him. Maulana
Abdul Raheem himself used to say that doing the Zikr
on the Lata-if at Hazrat Allah Deen Madni'sRehmatullah
Alaih
tomb is far more beneficial than doing it
elsewhere."
Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRehmatullah Alaih
told us
that he is the Last Shaykh of Silsila Naqshbandia
Awaisia. There is just a single chair that has been
kept vacant in the Court of the ProphetSall-Allahu-alaih-
Wasallam
, and that is reserved for Imam Mehdi. He said
43 The Leader of the Awaisi Silsila is the person who extracts the
Faiz from Barzakh and reintroduces the Silsila into this world.

that there's a gap of not more than five to six hundred
years between him and Imam Mehdi. And that the
people trained in his Silsila will insha-Allah meet
Imam Mehdi.

Memories of Him
This was February 1970. I was in Risalpur. After a few
days, when Muhammad Ahsan Baig arrived at
Risalpur, many new things came to my knowledge. I
had a couple of meetings with him, during which he
mentioned his respected teacher Hazrat Maulana
Allah Yar Khan. He was among the top Ulema of
Pakistan. He was an exalted debater against the
Shiah sect. I had seen large posters of his speeches
and meetings, but had not met him so far. One day, I
went to Ahsan Baig to get some paint. My unit was
due for a technical inspection, and nobody in Risalpur
had the requisite paint, but him. Captain Ahsan Baig
promised to give me the paint the next day, and told
me that Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar Khan Sahib had
come to visit him. There was going to be a session of
Zikr that night. He urged me to attend the session. I
was connected to Khanqah Sirajia in Kundian, and
was linked to Hazrat Maulana Khan Muhammad for
almost eleven years. I was confused about whether I
should go there or not. We had planned to watch a
movie in the club that same evening. Two or three
cars arrived at my home to pick me up for going to the
club before the appointed time. I was double-minded.

If I didn’t go to Ahsan Baig's house, he would be
angry and might refuse to give me the paint. Hence,
my technical inspection could be ruined. So, keeping
the paint in view, I declined to go to the club and
changed into a shalwar qameez and went to Ahsan
Baig's house. As I entered the drawing room, the
respected Hazrat had just come out (of the bathroom)
after doing the Wazu44
. Ahsan Baig introduced me. I
extended my hand for a shake-hand, but the
respected Hazrat ignored my hand and stepped by
me. For the first time, I felt that perhaps I was not
even worthy enough that a person of Allah should
shake my hand.
I started walking behind him. Hazrat Jee crossed the
road and entered the small Cantonment Board
mosque to lead the Namaz. I also performed the
Wazu and joined in the Jamaat. As soon as Hazrat
Jee started the recitation, I felt myself being
overwhelmed by a strange urge to cry, and I kept on
weeping spontaneously throughout the Namaz. When
the Namaz was over, everyone gathered at Ahsan
Baig's house. I also sat in the front row along with the
other officers, including Capt (Brig) Muhammad
Haneef, Capt (Maj) Umar Hayat, Capt Zain-ul-
Abideen, and Flt Lt Hadi Hussain Shah. A tall man
stood up and started telling everyone that their Silsila
was Naqshbandia Awaisia. They practiced the Zikr by
the method of Paas-Anfaas45
. He explained that they
44 The ablution performed before the Salat
45 Literally means "guarding each breath"

would sat down in rows on the left side of their
Shaykh, facing the Qibla, close their eyes and
mouths, switch off the lights, and the make the Zikr of
Allah-Hu strike their Lata-if repeatedly, with each
breath. He said that they acquired the spiritual Faiz
through the medium of their Shaykh, directly from
, the Prophet of Allah.
After giving this introduction, he inquired from Hazrat
Jee about me, that whether I should keep sitting in the
session of Zikr. Hazrat Jee said that the dust of the
town from which he comes does not possess the
capability to absorb the Faiz. He said the only thing
we had learned from our elders was to oppose Allah's
Friends. "How can he do Zikr?" he said. Upon hearing
this, the tall man sternly ordered me to get up and
leave. I stood up, but the humiliation and insult had
drained me of the energy to leave. I sat on the
sandals at the back. Meanwhile, the light had been
switched off, and Hazrat Jee started the Zikr by
saying "Subhan-Allah-e Wal-Hamdu-Lillah-e wa La-
Ilaha IlAllahu wa Allah-o Akbar wa Lahaula wa la
Quwwata Illa Billahil AliYil Azeem; Auoozu Billahe
Minash-shaitaanir Rajeem; Bismillah Ar-rahmanir
Raheem; Allah Allah Allah Hu; Chalo pehla Lateefa
Qalb."
After 15-20 minutes had passed, I felt as if there was
light in the room. I instinctively closed my eyes. After
a few minutes, I could feel that the light in the room
had become extremely intense. I opened my eyes,
and they almost popped out to see what was
happening. The Lights were from Hazrat Jee's

blessed chest in the form of Flashes that were
enveloping the others, and these Flashes of Light
were making the room incredibly bright. I was
stunned. "What kind of a person he is, O Allah? We
had read about such people in books. How can he be
born in this day and age?"
By the time the session was over, I had become fully
convinced of Hazrat Jee's spiritual excellence. I had
decided that I shall never let go of such a person,
even if he does not consider me worthy of his
company. As soon as the light was put back on, I got
up and fell at Hazrat Jee's feet. I broke down in tears
and kept crying involuntarily. When the burden on my
heart had lifted, Hazrat Jee put his hand on my head
and said, "Son, the feeling of guilt is a big asset that
man has. Whenever a person feels that he has sinned
and strayed, he can come back on track. But if this
feeling dies, this life is useless. Whatever time of life
you are left with, spend it in the remembrance of
Allah. Join the people of Allah. Be regular in Namaz.
Appreciate the difference between the Permissible
and the Forbidden."
The conversation about the Deen continued for quite
some time in that company. When I returned home, it
was late and I was starving. When I asked my wife for
dinner, she said I should ask for food from the same
people with whom I had spent the evening. So, I had
to sleep on an empty stomach that night. Because of
the marital disturbance, I could not visit Hazrat Jee for
the next two days. On the third day, Hazrat Jee was

sitting in a buggy and proceeding towards Sergeant
Muhammad Ashraf's house, who was a companion
from the Air Force. I was busy tending to the
flowerbeds in my lawn when Ahsan Baig asked me to
grab my bicycle and come after Hazrat Jee. I followed
him on my bike and reached Sergeant Muhammad
Ashraf's house. This was my second Zikr with Hazrat
JeeRehmatullah Alaih
.
After I was connected with the Awaisia Silsila, both of
my elder brothers also joined me. The three sons of
my uncle Hakeem Muhammad Hussain, my father in
law, and a few others from my family also joined the
Silsila, and the like of a Jamaat was created in Wan
Bhachran. Whenever my uncle Muhammad Hussain
would see me, he would advise me to recite La Haula
wa La Quwwata. He was sure that I was involved in
some Satanic activity. He observed us closely for a
whole year. One day, he said to me, "I don't know
whether you people are right or wrong, but I have
seen that my sons have become righteous after
joining the company of Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar
KhanRehmatullah Alaih
. They did not even bother to offer
Namaz before, but now they've kept beards. They
have left bad actions and become regular in
Tahajjud46
." He said that he also wanted to practice
Lata-if with me. I performed Lata-if on him for two or
three days. After a few days, Mufti Ghulam Samdani
came to Wan Bhachran and took uncle Hakeem
through the Meditations till the Masjid. My elder
46 The early morning Namaz

brother Ghulam Hussain wrote to me that something
unexpected had happened. Our uncle was still shaky
(about Zikr and Lata-if), and Muft Ghulam Samdani
had taken him all the way till the Masjid. I replied to
him not to doubt the Destinations performed by Mufti
Sahib, and give the Attention to uncle Hakeem till the
Masjid. Meanwhile, Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
wrote to
uncle Hakeem and invited him to visit Munara. He
obeyed Hazrat Jee'sRehmatullah Alaih
order and reluctantly
went to Munara, but he still kept on having doubts
about the Destinations that he had been taken to.
One day, Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman was
performing the routine with the Jamaat. When they
reached Sair-e-Kaaba, a spell of crying overtook him.
He kept weeping and praying while holding on to the
covering of the Kaaba. Meanwhile, the Jamaat had
reached Masjid-e-NabviSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
. Maulvi
Muhammad Sulaiman asked Mufti Ghulam Samdani,
"Have you ever seen a prayer that's been accepted?
If you want to see it, look at Hakeem Muhammad
Hussain, who is still clutching the covering of the
Kaaba, crying and praying, as his prayer is hitting the
Higher Arsh47
". My uncle later told me that he was
astonished to hear about his condition from Maulvi
Muhammad Sulaiman. How could he tell all this? The
rest of the Jamaat had already reached Masjid-e-
Nabvi. After that, my uncle's heart was satisfied, and
he got attached with Hazrat with full conviction.
47 Translated as the Throne. It's the higher Sky or Level where Allah
says He has settled.

In the beginning, I also used to wonder about Hazrat
Jee'sRehmatullah Alaih
spiritual power. I wrote a letter
about it to my previous Shaykh Hazrat Maulana Khan
Muhammad (the Caretaker of Khanqah Sirajia,
Kundian). The letter also included some excerpts from
Dalail-as-Salook and some incidents and
circumstances that I had witnessed in the company of
Hazrat Jee. He replied: "My dear! Maulana Allah Yar
Khan is the Shaykh of Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia.
Only someone from Awaisia can speak about him.
You, in any case, continue to practice regularly the
Recitations that I have prescribed."
I travelled alongside Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
towards
the end of 1970. We travelled from Rawalpindi to
Karachi. Muhammad Yousuf and Basheer were also
travelling with Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
. I was tasked
with the service of my Murshed. When Hazrat Jee
went to the train's washroom to do Wazu for the
Namaz of Asr, I sat close to Yousuf sahib and asked
him about my parents, who were deceased. I asked
him to tell me about their condition in the Barzakh. He
told me that my mother was in Salvation, but my
father was being Penalized. I did not believe him,
because my father was a very pious person. I got up
and went towards the washroom. When Hazrat
came out, he told me that the
accursed Satan had thrown a piece of rotten flesh at
his back as soon as he had entered the washroom. It
had made his shirt filthy. He had tried to wash it, but
the stain still remained. After the Namaz, when Hazrat
sat down at his seat, I asked him

about the condition of my parents in the Barzakh.
Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
stared out of the window for
some time, and then said: the mother is okay, but the
father is under the Retribution. Now, I had no other
option but to accept. Muhammad Yousuf requested
to pray for the deliverance of
my father. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
prayed, and my
father was released from the Retribution of the grave.
This was confirmed after a few days by Captain Zain-
ul-Abideen in Risalpur. He was sitting at my house. I
requested him to tell me about the condition of my
father in the Barzakh. He often used to refrain from
revealing the matters of Kashaf. I persuaded him with
great difficulty. He said that as he had not seen my
father's grave, I should lead him there. So, I said to
him: let's go to my father's grave. Just to test him, I
thought about another grave in the graveyard of
Ghundi (Kundian). When he saw the person in the
grave, he opened his eyes and said that the person
was saying he was not my father. I asked him what
that person looked like and he told it correctly. Then, I
asked him to see if anyone with the five Lata-if was
buried in that graveyard. He told me that there was an
old man who had the five Lata-if. (This was the
disciple of Maulana Ahmed Khan from Khanqah
Sirajia). I told him to ask the old man whether he
knew me. In reply to the question, the old man
touched my armpit. Zain-ul-Abideen said that he had
not understood why the old man was acting this way. I
told him that when I was seven years old, my mother

brought me to this old man for Dum48
. He had recited
something and touched my armpit. Thereafter he had
died and this was our first and last meeting. This
incident also proved Hazrat Jee's saying that a person
in the grave remember even the person whom he has
met just once in his lifetime. Then, I asked Zain-ul-
Abideen if there were any people in that graveyard
who had the Qalb. He said that seven people were
standing in a row. The last person was covering his
face. I told him that it was the Qureshi family of
Ulema. I knew the person standing at the last. He was
known as the Maulvi with Covered Face. He never
uncovered his face except when he was in mosque,
and I had offered Salat behind him in my childhood.
After that, I took him to my father's grave in the
graveyard of Wajhara in Wan Bhachran. He said that
my mother was also buried in the same graveyard.
"How do you know that?" I asked him. He replied that
he had seen my parents together and my father had
told him that she was my mother. I was amazed at the
power of the Kashaf of graves that Allah had blessed
this person with. He was telling everything correctly
while sitting hundreds of miles away from those
graves. Then, I brought Zain-ul-Abideen to the grave
of Maulana Hussain AliRehmatullah Alaih
, and asked him
what type of students and successors he had left
behind. Zain-ul-Abideen told me that Maulana
Hussain Ali had bowed his head upon hearing this

question. Then, I took Zain-ul-Abideen to Hazrat
Maulana Ahmed KhanRehmatullah Alaih
in Khanqah Sirajia.
Zain-ul-Abideen told me that he was Fana-fir-
Rasool49
. Maulana Abdullah's Stations were below
him. Maulana Abdullah asked Zain-ul-Abideen to
convey to our respected Shaykh that he may kindly
teach Salook to his successor Khan Muhammad.
In October 1970, Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
came to my
house in Risalpur. Zain-ul-Abideen's car (in which
Hazrat Jee was coming) had met an accident on the
way, and Hazrat Jee had sustained injuries. So, he
stayed for 16 days instead of 10. He could not
perform Wazu and used to do Tayammum50
. The
bricks that he used for Tayammum are still with me,
and I have made a will that these bricks be used in
my grave. During this stay, one day Mufti Ghulam
Samdani went from Risalpur to Nowshehra with
Basheer. When they came back, Basheer told Hazrat
that during the journey, Mufti Ghulam
Samdani uttered a cry so loud that everyone was
looking towards him. Now, he was declining to tell
why he had shrieked. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
asked
Mufti Ghulam Samdani to narrate the whole incident.
Mufti Ghulam Samdani said that when they boarded
the bus, he saw that the round-shaped thing that is
located right at the front in the bus, the thing behind
which the driver sits, he saw that a monkey was
clutching onto that thing. The monkey was rotating

that thing right and left. When he saw this spiritual
appearance of the driver, he let out an involuntary cry.
Professor Muhammad Aslam was also present when
this conversation was taking place. He was a
renowned mathematics teacher from the Corps of
Engineers. His Third Dimension Theory was very
famous, through which he used to prove the existence
of Allah and the angels. He asked Hazrat Jee whether
it was really true that Neil Armstrong had reached the
moon. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
said: let's ask this
person who calls the steering-wheel a round thing".
Then, Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
asked Mufti Ghulam
Samdani to concentrate on Hazrat Jee's Heart, follow
the Lights to wherever they were going, and describe
the details of those places. Mufti Ghulam Samdani
narrated Neil Armstrong's whole voyage and
described the place where they had reached.
Professor Muhammad Aslam was amazed that a
person with such a low education was narrating such
details that the astronaut had himself not described
after his return.
After this incident, Professor Muhammad Aslam
became so fond of Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
that he
took all of us to his house, and called all his children
before Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
. He requested Hazrat
Jee to take their Baet. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
said
that he was not a traditional Peer51
, but a spiritual
teacher who did not believe in the apparent Baet. He
51 A word for Shaykh or Murshed generally used by non-Sufis and
common people.

said that he trained his students spiritually and
presented them in the Prophet'sSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
Court for the spiritual Baet on the sacred hand of
Huzoor Nabi Kareem ‫.ﷺ‬ Meanwhile the tea was
served, along with some snacks. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah
Alaih
only took one of the different things that were
there. He said that the rest of the things had been
bought readymade from the market, and he did not
eat such things. Professor Muhammad Aslam said
that the thing that Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
had
accepted had been prepared by his daughter, who
was regular in her Namaz and fasting. The rest of the
eatables had indeed been fetched from the market.
During the same stay, another incredible thing
became clear. One day, I was standing with Maulvi
Sulaiman. He was doing Wazu. There were eight
servant quarters behind my house, out of which I had
given two to a poor old horse-cart driver. His wife and
daughter used to work in my house. When Maulvi
Sulaiman happened to look at the uninhabited
quarters, he exclaimed, "What the heck! What kind of
monsters you are keeping?" He said that a Jinn52
was
looking towards us from one of the windows.
Suddenly, the Jinn ran and disappeared into the cart-
driver's mare, and the mare lied down. My batman
Muhammad Zakir was standing beside us. He said,
ever since Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
had come, all the
residents of the quarters and their mare had fallen
sick. Maulvi Sulaiman told us that the Lights from
52 The Jinn are a creation of Allah. They are created out of fire.

Hazrat Jee's chest were illuminating the whole
neighborhood. The ground, the houses, the trees, etc
all became extremely bright. It became difficult for the
Jinns to live there, so they were forced to seek refuge
inside living things like humans and animals. The
Jinns living in my quarters had hidden inside the
unreligious people and the mare. As soon as Hazrat
departed from my home, they were
well again.
When Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
went for Hajj for the first
time, I also accompanied him till Karachi. When he
returned from Hajj, all the senior companions were
present to receive him in Karachi. When Hazrat
came out of the airport, he was
wearing colored khaddar clothes. My heart suddenly
had this desire that if Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
granted
me that dress, it will be a really great gift for me.
was staying in the Navy
quarters near Tooba Mosque. All the senior
companions expressed their wish for Hazrat Jee's
clothes, but he kept quiet. He exchanged his
handkerchief with someone and gave away his rosary
too, but did not give the clothes to anyone. I dared not
to express my wish, as I was just a beginner. On the
journey back home, the companions from Chakwal
hid away Hazrat Jee's luggage, so that he could not
change into another dress and give the clothes he
was wearing to anyone. When we disembarked (from
the train) at Jehlum, Hafiz Ghulam Qadri had
arranged for a sojourn at a nearby mosque.
Everybody placed their baggage in the mosque and

went out, and only Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
and I were
left inside. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
asked me to bring
a dhoti. I picked up someone's dhoti and gave it to
Hazrat Jee. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
donned the dhoti,
put off the shalwar-qameez that he was wearing, and
gave it to me. "You were the first one to wish for this
dress at the airport, so I give it to you," he said. When
the others returned after some time, they saw that
was sitting wearing only the
dhoti. They immediately produced Hazrat Jee's
clothes from wherever they had hidden them. Hazrat
Jee's clothes are still preserved with me, and remind
me of the gift and the Kashaf-e-Quloob53
of my
esteemed Shaykh.
Salamat Pura, street number 6, house number 4—this
was Maulana Fazal Hussain's address. Maulana
Fazal Hussain possessed the Certificate of
Succession from Hazrat Maulana Fazal Ali
QureshiRehmatullah Alaih
. Maulana Fazal Ali Qureshi,
Maulana Hussain Ali (Wan Bhachran) and Maulana
Ahmed Khan (the founder Shaykh of Khanqah Sirjia,
Kundian) had got the Certificate together. All three of
them belonged to the Naqshbandia Mujaddadia
Silsila. Maulana Fazal Hussain was an established
Peer of Lahore and his disciples numbered in
thousands. He was very well off, had a car and
house, and a transport business. Maulana Fazal
Hussain wrote to Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
that his
Shaykh had taken him till the Destination of
53 Insight into the Heart. A type of paranormal vision.

Haqeeqat-e-Salat. He wanted Hazrat Jee's guidance
to progress further in Salook, as his Shaykh was not
alive anymore. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
wrote back
that when he's stop at Lahore on his way to Karachi,
Maulana Fazal Hussain could come and see him. He
reached the railway station along with all his disciples
and took Hazrat Jee to his house. After conversing
with Hazrat Jee, he realized that he had been
deceiving the people so far. He did not even have the
Spiritual Baet. So, he made an open announcement
that he had never been an Accomplished Sufi, and
the people who had been following him had been
deceived. He said that from that day on, Hazrat
Maulana Allah Yar Khan was his Peer and Murshed.
Whoever wanted to stay by their side was welcome,
and whoever wanted to leave was free to go. The
majority of the disciples left upon hearing this
announcement.
I was deployed in the Wahga sector during the 1971
war. I used to visit Maulana Fazal Hussain regularly
for Zikr every week. Immediately after the war was
over, I went to his house along with my fellows.
Maulana Fazal Hussain returned home on his bicycle
in the evening and conducted Zikr after Maghrib. After
Isha, he talked for some time and went to bed without
offering us dinner or anything else. Early in the
morning, he got up and conducted Zikr after the
Nawafil. When he was through with the Fajr Prayer,
he spoke to me and said that he was sorry for not
looking after us. Actually, he said, his family had been
starving for two days and there was nothing to eat at

his home. Then, he narrated the whole incident of
joining the Awaisia Silsila and ending up in such
circumstances. His circumstances had deteriorated to
such a stage that he was forced to take up a job at a
workshop located 13 kilometers away from Salamat
Pura. He used to commute 13 kilometer up and down
on a bicycle. I was taken aback to learn about his
condition. I went straight to my Unit, loaded some
groceries into my vehicle, and returned to Salamat
Pura. Maulana Fazal Hussain was not pleased to see
this. He said this was not the objective of narrating his
circumstances to me. I apologized and requested him
to accept that stuff just that one time. It would not
happen again. Later on, when I stated the ordeals of
Maulana Fazal Hussain to Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
, he
said that he had never seen such a devoted person
among the Peers, who had sacrificed everything he
had for him.
Then, in March 1972, Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
stayed
at Dr Riaz's house in Gulberg. Maulana Fazal
Hussain came to see him. When Hazrat JeeRehmatullah
Alaih
inquired about his circumstances, he started
crying. "I don't regret losing anything," he said, "but I
fear that I may not lose my relationship with you".
Hazrat Jee consoled him and said that the
circumstances don’t always stay the same. Allah
burdens everyone according to their capacity. After
some time, Allah SWT changed his days and he
migrated to Abu Dhabi, where he also called his
family. In his last days, when he was sick, his
employer company offered to send him to any country

for treatment. Maulana Fazal Hussain preferred to
come to Pakistan, and breathed his last at his revered
Shaykh's feet.
On December 29, 1972, I visited Maulana Shams-ul-
Haq Afghani at his residence in Bahawalpur after
Isha. I was in uniform. I had travelled 150 kilometers
from Cholistan to reach him. When he saw me, he
said that General Iqbal's residence was next door. I
said, "Hazrat, I've come to see you, not him". He
offered me a seat and inquired about the reason for
coming. I respectfully said that I had come to him for
learning Salook. I had read the books of the Mashaikh
from all the four Silsilas, had read about the
Destinations of Salook, and was wandering in search
of a person who would be my guide on the way of
Salook, I said to him. "I have come to you with great
hope that you will surely guide me." After a brief
pause, Maulana Afghani said that I should recite 2000
times Astaghfar54
, 2000 times Darood Sharif55
, and
3000 times Nafi-Asbat56
consecutively for 40 days. If I
happened to miss any of these recitations on any
single day, I had to restart counting the 40 days
again. After 40 days, I had to tell him my feelings
through a letter or personal visit. The next lesson
would start after that. I came back and narrated the
whole episode to Hazrat. Hazrat Jee said, "Maulana
Afghani has gotten rid of you. He has merely told you
54 Asking for forgiveness from Allah. 'Astaghfirullah'
55 A recitation for sending blessings upon the Holy Prophet,
'SalAllahu alaih Wasallam'
56 La ilaha illAllah. There's no god but Allah.

the recitations for saving his face. He knew that it
would take at least five hours to recite the things that
he had prescribed, and a uniformed person could
never spare five hours. You'll do this Wazifa for a day
or two, and then, you'll miss a day. You'll feel
ashamed that you could not perform even this
beginners' Wazifa. Out of embarrassment, you'll not
go to see him, and even if you do, you'll never again
take the name of 'Salook'. His stature will remain
intact and he will not have to teach Salook too.
Nobody has the time for doing Wazaif, so whoever
comes to us, we perform Lata-if on him straightaway.
If the seeker has the capability, he will progress.
Otherwise, he'll quit by himself."
One of my friends was a pious person since his
childhood. He read the book "Sword of Allah"
authored by General Akram, after which he became
inclined towards adultery. I was with Hazrat
in Karachi, when I bought this book
from a bookstall. I was confused about why the author
had chosen this topic, whereas he belonged to the
Shiah School. For him, Hazrat Ali RAA was the
Zulfiqar (the title of Hazrat Ali RAA, which means
sword). Why had he made Hazrat Khalid RAA the
topic of his book and called him Allah's Sword? When
I read the book, I found out that it was based on a
malicious intent. The characters of Hazrat Khalid RAA
and Hazrat Umar RAA have been attacked and
insulted throughout the book. In other words, we
Sunnis have been shown the 'true' picture of our
heroes, the hero of warfare and the hero of justice.

When I told Hazrat Jee RA about this book, he told
me to go through it in detail and point out the pages
that were objectionable, so that its rejection may be
written. According to his instructions, I was reading
the book while sitting in Qari Yar Muhammad's
mosque in Quetta. Hazrat Jee was present in the
Hujra57
. It was about the time of Ishraaq58
when a
person entered the mosque. He came to me and saw
me reading an English book, upon which he burst out
in anger, "what's wrong with you Maulvis? You
sermon others about the Quran and yourself read
English books in mosques. Stop this drama!" I
stopped reading the book, and that person went and
sat in the company of Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
. When I
also entered the chamber after a while, he
complained to Hazrat Jee that 'this Maulvi reads
English books in the mosque'. Hazrat Jee introduced
me to him and explained the whole situation, after
which he calmed down.
In 1974, when the annual Ijtima59
was going on at
Munara60
, I was doing the Company Commanders
Course in Quetta Infantry School. I could not join the
annual congregation because I could not get leave. In
the last days of the congregation, I wrote a letter to
him, regretting my missing the Ijtima and begged for
57 A chamber inside or beside a mosque
58 An optional Namaz offered about 30 minutes after sunrise
59 Congregation
60 The "Ijtima" used to be held at Munara in the days of Hazrat Jee
Rehmatullah Alaih. After him, the Munara congregation is not the
same, as his heir took to the pursuit of worldly effects and forsook
his Shaykh

his prayer and special attention. In his reply, Hazrat
broke the amazing news that I had
been selected among the new Khaleefa Majazeen61
of Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia. He wrote that I was
now a Majaz and an Appointment holder. In
compliance with Hazrat Jee's order, when I went to
Chikrala to receive my Certificate, he treated me very
kindly. He told me that my name was not included in
the initial list of Majazeen that was presented to the
Prophet of MercySall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
. Huzoor Nabi
KareemSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
deleted some of the names
from that list, and wrote my name. After this, Hazrat
Jee Qibla Alam used to love me dearly.
Multan is famous because of Ghaus Bahawuddin
ZakriyaRehmatullah Alaih
. Hazrat Ghaus Bahawuddin
belongs to the Suharwardi Silsila, and is the student
of Shaykh Shahabuddin Suhrwardy. We used to hold
our Thursday evening Zikr session at his resting
place. I and Haji Aslam Kunboh used to go there often
on other days too. Until the beginning of 1976, Hazrat
Jee's stay at Multan used to be limited to the time for
which the train stopped at the railway station. It had
been a year since I had been posted at Multan.
Whenever I'd visit Hazrat Ghaus Sahib, he'd ask for
Hazrat Jee'sRehmatullah Alaih
visit to Multan. I quietly
presented his request to Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
,
which he accepted, and said that indeed Ghaus
sahib's demand was justified. After that, Hazrat Jee
came to Multan and scheduled a Zikr at Ghaus
61 Pl of "Majaz". Authorized person.

Bahawuddin Zakriya's shrine. The Jamaat present in
Multan also accompanied him. Ghaus Bahawuddin
Zakriya was taken to the Higher Destination. When
was returning from there,
someone said to him that Hazrat Rukn-e-Alam was
also requesting for a meeting. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
smiled and said: let's go. Then, he meditated there for
some time.
The Jamaat had swelled in numbers after the return
of the POWs of 1971. Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman
had added two additional things to the routine of Zikr.
He used to conduct loud Zikr and the Meditation of
Istehzar after the Asr prayer. Because Hazrat
had never conducted these, I used to
feel upset. I'd sit in their group but keep feeling
restless inside. Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman had
instructed almost all the people conducting Zikr that
they should hold loud Zikr at Asr. In Multan, I did not
use to hold this particular Zikr. When Maulvi
Muhammad Sulaiman came to know about it, he and
Bashir took me to a side during the Ijtima at Munara.
They reprimanded me strictly and said that I
considered myself as someone special, and that they
could terminate my Authority for conducting Zikr
(Majaziyyat) in a minute. "If you want to progress
further, you must do the loud Zikr and the Istehzar
Meditation regularly after Asr," they said. I kept quiet.
For two years, Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman remained
angry with me. I was afraid that he'd ask Hazrat
and get me expelled from the
Jamaat. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
was staying at Haji

Altaf's home. When everyone had left for dinner, I
grabbed Hazrat Jee's feet and started crying. Hazrat
Jee asked me what the matter was. I narrated the
standoff with Maulvi Sulaiman and beseeched that he
was bent upon getting me thrown out of the Jamaat. I
requested Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
to conduct the loud
Zikr and Istehzar Meditation just once, so that it
should be a precedent for us, and we should adopt
these as a part of our daily routine. Hazrat
asked me if I had never done these
Azkaar62
until then. I replied that how I could do the
Azkaar that were never taught by my Shaykh. Hazrat
was very pleased. He said, "how can
he expel you from the Jamaat, when he has himself
been kicked out of it?" Then he took out a book from
under his pillow and gave it to me and said that
Maulvi Sulaiman had written a book to compete with
Dalail-us-Salook. I was astonished at this person's
senselessness.
In March 1981, when Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
came to
Multan, he accepted the dinner invitation from
Brigadier Khadim Hussain and the tea invitation from
Major General Hamza. These two officers held a
unique position in the Army because of their
gentleness and piety. When I was transferred to the
Northern Area in 1982, Major General Hamza wrote a
letter about me to Major General Warraich, who was
the commander there. Hazrat Jee visited Gilgit in the
third week of May, 1982. He was scheduled to stay at
62 Pl of Zikr

Dasu on the night of May 17 and have lunch at my
home in Jaglot. However, Hazrat Jee unexpectedly
skipped Dasu and reached my home in the evening of
May 17. He looked quite worn out by the travelling. I
immediately informed Rasool Mir, and the both of us
srranged for the night stay of Hazrat Jee's small
entourage. The next morning, a jeep from the 90 Light
came to pick me up. The General was in the area and
was inviting me for tea. I told my Colonel that I could
not go to see the General, because my esteemed
Shaykh was with me. I could not leave him and go to
anyone else. My Colonel told me not to ruin his career
by refusing to meet the General. He said he'd sit with
while I was away. He took off
his boots and sat with Hazrat Jee. However, I wasn't
going to leave, and I didn’t. When the jeep returned
empty, the General didn't like it, as I was later
informed by the people who were present with him.
Later on, Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
told me that he had
not seen the sincerity in my Colonel. I humbly said, he
had not come to you out of admiration, but only to fill
in my place and send me to the General. He had
never believed in the acquisition of Faiz.
The 1983 annual Ijtima was held at Munara from July
25 to September 2. This time, I took leave for two
months and reached Darul Irfan in the beginning of
the first week of Ijtima. Hazrat Jee was worried on
account of his son and brother. Every other day, a
messenger from his home would arrive, adding to his
worry. One day, Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
called for me
and asked me to go to Chikrala to defend his land. He

also told me to take along five or six men, and to send
them back after a week. I reached Chikrala with these
men and set up a post to defend the Murshed Abad
land. Allah SWT helped us and no one dared to
occupy the land. I kept on receiving fresh
reinforcement from Darul Irfan every week.
When the Munara Ijtima was over, Hazrat
returned to Chikrala and ordered me
to stay there. He allowed me to leave two days before
the Eid-ul-Azha. I presented myself before Hazrat
to say goodbye. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah
Alaih
was sitting outside his house in the shadow of the
wall. Raza Quraish from Sri Lanka was also with me.
Both of us sat on the ground before Hazrat
. "Are you leaving?" asked Hazrat
. I said yes. Many hours passed as we
sat there. The shadow of the wall had receded, and
half of Hazrat Jee's cot was in the sun. We had also
began sweating because of the heat. It was now that
permitted me to leave. He got
up from the cot. I embraced him and fell at his feet. I
held both his feet and beseeched, "Hazrat, life is so
uncertain. I don’t know if I'll ever see you again or not.
If I have made some mistakes, please forgive me.
Hazrat Jee, please always be happy with me." Hazrat
Jee held me by the shoulders and stood me up. He
said, "you are among the people in the Jamaat with
whom I have an association of the heart. How can I
be angry with you?" I departed after that, and praise
Allah SWT's Highness, that it indeed turned out to be
my last meeting with him. I received the news of his

demise through a telephone call from Rawalpindi
when I was at Jaglot. Indeed, we are from Allah, and
to Him we shall return63
. When I arrived at Chikrala,
had already been laid to rest
in his final abode. I presented myself at his grave
along with the Jamaat from Gilgit and did our routine.
The same Lights and Flashes that used to be there
before were still there. Hazrat Jee used to say that
more Faiz will be received from him after his death,
provided that the spiritual connection is intact. May
Allah SWT keep our link with our respected Shaykh
intact and keep his Faiz flowing until the Day of
Qayamat. Aameen.

Conversation with Spirits
‫م‬ َ‫َل‬ْ‫س‬ِ‫ال‬ْ‫ا‬ ِ‫ْن‬‫ی‬ِ‫د‬ ٰ‫ِلی‬‫ا‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ٰ‫د‬‫ھ‬ َ‫و‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫ی‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ َ‫م‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫ا‬ ْ‫ِی‬‫ذ‬ّ‫ل‬َ‫ا‬ ِ ‫ہ‬ ِ‫ّلِل‬ ُ‫د‬ْ‫َم‬‫ح‬ْ‫ل‬َ‫ا‬
(Praise be to Allah who blessed us with rewards and
guided us on Deen-e-Islam.)
I state before you that my Shaykh Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRehmatullah Alaih
visited Karachi in 1970. I was also
with him. Our stay had been arranged at a living
quarters that belonged to the Navy. In the evening,
Hazrat JeeRA
was describing some aspects of Syed
Ahmed Rafai'sRA
life. He said that Allah had blessed
Syed Ahmed RafaiRA
with the power that when
delivered a sermon, everyone heard him equally loud
regardless of the distance between them and him.
Whenever anyone came to visit him and he did not
have anything to serve the guest, he would ask the
visitor: "ask me to pray for you, as I am on the
example of the Holy ProphetSall-Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
at this
time".
When Syed Ahmed RafaiRehmatullah Alaih
went for Hajj
and presented himself at the shrine of the ProphetSall-
Allahu-alaih-Wasallam
, he addressed the MessengerSAW
and
said: "O Prophet of AllahSAW
, I keep presenting myself

before you spiritually. Today, I have come here
physically. Please extend your blessed hand out of
the grave, so that I may kiss it and satiate the thirst of
my love that I have for you." Upon this, the
Prophet'sSAW
sacred hand came out of the grave so
that Syed Ahmed RafaiRA
could kiss it. Hence, Syed
Ahmed RafaiRA
kissed the Prophet'sSAW
blessed hand
and the thousands of people who were present there
witnessed this scene. A few other fortunate ones who
were present nearby also got the opportunity to kiss
the Prophet's hand.
"What is the proof of this incident?" inquired a person
who was attending Hazrat Jee'sRA
sermon. We did not
like his question. Hazrat JeeRA
asked him: "are you
legitimate or illegitimate?" He replied that he was
legitimate. Hazrat JeeRA
asked him if he had any
proof. He said that the wedlock between his mother
and father was the proof. "What is the proof of the
wedlock between your mother and father?" asked
Hazrat JeeRA
. He said that the proof of the wedlock
was the two witnesses that were present on the
occasion. Upon this, Hazrat JeeRA
said: "how strange,
that the wedlock between your mother and father has
just two witnesses, and nobody challenges its
authenticity. But you ask for the proof of an incident
for which there are thousands of witnesses. You
ought to know that the most credible eyewitness of
this incident is Shaykh Abdul Qadir JilaniRA
. Tell me
the truth about who you are. He told that he belonged

to the Jamaat Islami64
. Hazrat JeeRA
said that the
people of Jamaat Islami do not believe in Hayat-e-
Anbiya and Conversing with Spirits. What was he
doing there in the first place? Hazrat JeeRA
asked him
to leave.
This was 2004 when my Shaykh Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRA
said to me: "Son, if you want to communicate
continuously with me in my grave, and your health
permits, you should adopt a Chilla for 40 days in order
to enhance the lightness of your spirit. During this
Chilla, you should stay awake and pray during the
nights and stay thirsty during the days (i.e. fast)".
Following the word of my Shaykh, I went into the
Chilla for 40 days, from April 25 to June 3. This made
a huge difference to my Kashf and Conversation with
Spirits, which became much clearer. Hazrat JeeRA
said that the Sufis had been practicing this through
every age, although I would not have needed it had
Hazrat JeeRA
been alive. I keep speaking with my
Shaykh in his grave from time to time. I quote a few
instances.
This was probably 2003. One of my fellows Squadron
Leader Salman Ahmed and his wife Doctor Nosheen
called me on telephone from Lahore and requested to
ask Hazrat JeeRA
for his permission for them to visit
him. HAzrat JeeRA
said that they could both come.
After a few days, they came to Mianwali from Lahore.
They stayed at the PAF Base for the night and came
64 A political party in Pakistan

to me in Wan Bhachran in the morning to take me
with them. Right at that time, my spiritual
conversation with Hazrat JeeRA
started. Hazrat JeeRA
asked me to stop Dr Nosheen (Mrs Salman Ahmed)
from coming and leave her at my home. I became
worried and started thinking whether my previous
Conversation was correct, in which Hazrat JeeRA
had
granted the permission, or this one, in which he was
declining her. Why had he allowed first and then
forbidden? Dr Nosheen stayed back. When both of
us reached Danda Shah via Moosa Khail, we found
out that it had been raining the whole night and the
whole area had become submerged in water. The
earthen track leading to Murshed Abad from there
had become un-drivable, and after going two or three
kilometers, we had to leave our car there and walk
through rainwater and mud all the way. It was then
that I realized why Hazrat JeeRA
had stopped Dr
Nosheen from coming. A few months after that, the
two of them came to Murshed Abad again. This time,
they requested for Hazrat Jee'sRA
permission to adopt
a child. Hazrat JeeRA
asked me to tell them that they
were going to have their own child, why adopt?
Actually, the two of them had been married for six or
seven years at the time, and they did not have a child.
They therefore did not adopt a child after Hazrat Jee
forbade it. Later, they became the parents of two
daughters who are studying in a school these days.
Another companion of mine Amir Jalal is a pilot in an
airline. His younger brother Kashif is a Lecturer in one
of the universities at Jeddah. Kashif had been

speaking to an expat Pakistani family living in
America, and had reached an understanding for a
marriage of exchange for himself and his sister. (His
sister would marry their son and he would wed their
daughter). Later on, that family came to Pakistan and
met the boy and the girl, whom they liked and
finalized the arrangement. When I spoke to Hazrat
about this marital arrangement, he
asked me to stop Kashif from going ahead. He said
that the boy to whom his sister was to be wed did not
possess a good character. When I told them this, they
cancelled the arrangement. The information about the
boy's character was later on confirmed too.
Doctor Abid Ali Minhas received his doctorate degree
from Austria on government expense. He visited me
in 2002. As we sat beside my Shaykh Hazrat Allah
Yar KhanRA
's grave in Murshed Abad for Zikr, he
expressed his intention to go for PhD in a foreign
university at his own expense. Hazrat JeeRA
told him
to wait for that year, as he would be sent abroad for
PhD on government expense the next year. And it
really so happened that PhD vacancies were
advertised the next year for foreign study. Abid Ali
Minhas appeared in the test and interview and the
Government of Pakistan selected him for doing PhD
in Austria. While studying in Austria, he became
disinterested and lost heart because of the biased
behavior of his instructors. The reason was his large
Sharai65
beard. I went to Murshed Abad and
65 Conforming to the Shariah, the Islamic code

presented the issue of his doctorate before Hazrat
JeeRA
, and also complained about his instructors'
behavior. Hazrat JeeRA
told me to keep those tutors
before me and do Alqa66
upon them for a few days.
Insha-Allah, they will come on track. And so, it
happened. After the Alqa, the tutors' behavior with
Abid Ali Minhas improved, and he returned to
Pakistan after completing his doctorate and securing
the highest grade from the same instructors. He is a
professor at the Bahria University these days.
Another one of my companions Muhammad Suleman
lives in Chashma. His daughter was doing her house
job at a hospital in Lahore when she fell sick. Her
condition did not improve even after her extensive
treatment. When I went to Chashma to conduct Zikr,
he took me to his home and requested me to write
something for his daughter. I started inscribing the
Taweez67
. I was going to write 40 of them. When I
had written fourteen or fifteen, I started hearing
Hazrat Jee's voice coming from his grave. He said it
was no use. She would not survive till she could take
all forty of them. So, I stopped writing. Suleman sahib
said that I was going to write 40 of them. I said he
should give her these Taweez, and I'd write more
when these are finished. Allah had planned it like that.
The girl could not survive for 40 days and met Allah
66 It's a term of Sufis. It means casting down the Lights from one's
Destination upon the seeker or anyone else.
67 Inscriptions meant for healing an illness, repel the Jinn, or for
other purposes

before that. Inna Lillahe wa Inna Alaihe Rajeoon.
(Indeed we are from Him and to Him we shall return.)
Several months had passed since we had visited our
respected Shaykh in Murshed Abad. The armies of
India and Pakistan were facing each other on the
borders. Then, by Allah's grace, the risk of war was
averted and the armies of both the countries
retreated. The Air Force also flew the aircraft back to
their home bases. My friends from Mianwali Base
informed me at 10 p.m. that there was no flying the
next day, so they had planned to pick me up and go
to Murshed Abad. They had planned to take three
cars, which meant that about 14-15 pilots were going
to accompany me. I had still not gotten up from the
prayer rug after my morning routine that conversation
with Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
started. He asked me not
to let the Air Force pilots come to him on that day. I
got up and informed all the pilots that the program
had been cancelled for the day. It was hardly 8 or
8:30 a.m. when the pilots received the orders to fly to
their forward operating bases. They immediately flew
their aircraft to their respective wartime positions. Had
not stopped me, a big issue
would have been created. The pilots could not have
returned to the base before 11 a.m. It would have
been a fiasco with so many pilots suddenly
disappearing, and the aircraft could not have been
dispersed too.
On August 14, 2003, I visited Murshed Abad with
Wing Commander (Air Commodore) Zia Khan. Five or

six other officers also accompanied us. Zia Khan had
come to Murshed Abad with me on August 14 two
years ago. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
asked me to tell
Zia Khan that he had made Hazrat Jee wait for too
long. He then said: "You don’t know yet what waiting
is. When you'll die and come to the Barzakh, and
you'll wait for your loved ones and they won't come,
only then you'll realize what waiting is". Upon hearing
this, Zia Khan's eyes brimmed with tears. He said he
didn’t know Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
had so much love
for him. Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
was also aggrieved
by the fact that Maulana Akram Awan had stopped his
followers from visiting Murshed Abad.
It was in January 2003 that I visited Air Vice Marshal
Abdul Razzaq's official residence in Islamabad
regarding some matter. Wing Commander (Air
Commodore) Fazal Mehmood was also with me. It
was a palatial house. We were waiting for AVM Abdul
Razzaq when my conversation with Hazrat
started. He said that this man (AVM
Abdul Razzaq) was going to stay in that house for just
a few more days. I thought that maybe he'd be
transferred elsewhere. During our meeting, he also
expressed his intention to study Tasawwuf more
deeply, but God had other plans. Probably, the Angel
of Death had already received the orders to take him
away from this world forever. Air Vice Marshal Abdul
Razzaq departed for the Barzakh leaving behind his
grieving parents and bringing tears to thousands of
eyes.

Once upon a time, Colonel Naseem came to me with
his sons Captain Ashfaq and Taha. Captain Ashfaq
moved closer to me when I was parting with them
after presenting ourselves at Murshed Abad. He told
me that he had made a request to Hazrat Jee and
wanted me to tell him what Hazrat Jee was saying
about his request. I told him that I didn’t know what he
had said to Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
, but there was
something that HAzrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
had asked me
to tell his father (Col Naseem). He started insisting
that I should tell that thing to his father right there in
his presence. I called Col Naseem to me and told him
that Hazrat Jee had asked me to tell him that he
should immediately arrange for Captain Ashfaq's
marriage. When Captain Ashfaq heard this, he said,
"Uncle, I got the answer to my request. I had in fact
requested Hazrat Jee about my marriage".
I had planned to spend the night of May 2, 2013 at
Murshed Abad with Group Captain Rizwan Haider
and his family. The General Elections were going to
be held on May 11. Imran Khan's Tsunami appeared
widely popular. It seemed that Imran Khan will sweep
the elections and become the next Prime Minister. In
the evening, when we sat by Hazrat Shaykh-ul-
Mukarram's grave for Zikr, Rizwan asked me who was
going to be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. I said,
"Let's ask Hazrat Shaykh-ul-Mukarram68
who will
become the Prime Minister after the elections". When
I asked Hazrat JeeRehmatullah Alaih
, he said that Nawaz
68 The Honorable Shaykh

Shareef was going to be the next Prime Minister. We
also asked who we should vote for. Hazrat Shaykh-ul-
Mukarram asked us not to vote for Imran Khan, as he
is not a religious minded person.

69 The actual Arabic word is Arsh, which means a level beyond the

When someone asked Hazrat Imam Maalik the
meanings of The Most Merciful [who is] above the
Throne established, he started sweating profusely. He
bowed his head and started tapping the wooden stick
that he was holding. Then, he raised his head and
said that it is something beyond the comprehension of
the mind; and that Allah's Astawa (establishment) is
not unknown and it is mandatory to believe in it; and
that to inquire about it is a Bidat70
. He said that he
thought that the inquirer was a Bidati71
and got him
expelled from there. He received knowledge from 900
tutors, out of whom 300 were Tabaeen. He used to
say that knowledge is not acquired through excessive
studying. It is a Light that Allah SWT emlightens into
one's Heart.
It is in the Hadees72
that before the heaven and the
earth were created, Allah SWT was in an Ama'
(Cloud) that had air above and below it, and his
Establishment on the Throne had not yet taken place.
