First Month of the Islamic Calendar... MuHarram al-Haraam [URDU]

اسلامی سال کا پہلا مہینہ محرم الحرام ہے۔ محرم کو محرم اس لئے کہا جاتا ہے کہ اس ماہ میں جنگ و قتال حرام ہے۔ یہ اللہ تعالیٰ کا مہینہ ہے اور اس مہینہ میں عاشورہ کا دن بہت معظم ہے یعنی دسویں محرم کا دن ۔ (فضائل الایام والشہور صفحہ ٢٥١)

یومِ عاشورہ

عاشورہ کی وجہ تسمیہ میں علما ء کا اختلاف ہے اس کی وجہ مختلف طور پر بیان کی گئی ہے ، اکثر علماء کا قول ہے کہ چونکہ یہ محرم کا دسواں دن ہوتا ہے اس لئے اس کو عاشورہ کہا گیا، بعض کا قول ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے جو بزرگیاں دنوں کے اعتبار سے امت محمدیہ کو عطا فرمائی ہیں اس میں یہ دن دسویں بزرگی ہے اسی مناسبت سے اس کو عاشورہ کہتے ہیں ۔

یوم عاشورہ کی فضیلت

حضرت ابن عباس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہما سے مروی ہے کہ جب حضور نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم مدینہ منورہ تشریف لائے تو یہودیوں کو عاشورا کے دن روزہ رکھتے ہوئے پایا۔ ان سے اس کی وجہ پوچھی تو انہوں نے کہا : اس دن میں اللہ تعالیٰ نے حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام اور بنی اسرائیل کو فرعون پر غلبہ عطا کیا۔ ہم اس کی تعظیم کرتے ہوئے اس کا روزہ رکھتے ہیں ۔ حضور نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : ہم موسیٰ علیہ السلام سے زیادہ قریب ہیں، چنانچہ آپ نے اس کا روزہ رکھنے کا حکم دیا۔ (مکاشفۃ القلوب، صفحہ ٦٩٨ از امام محمد غزالی علیہ الرحمہ )

یومِ عاشورہ کے فضائل میں بکثرت روایات آتی ہیں ۔ اس دن حضرت آدم علیہ السلام کی توبہ قبول ہوئی، اس دن ان کی پیدائش ہوئی، اسی دن جنت میں داخل کیے گئے۔ اسی دن عرش، کرسی ، آسمان وزمین، سورج ، چاند ستارے اور جنت پیدا ہوئے۔ اسی دن حضرت ابراہیم علیہ السلام پیداہوئے، اسی دن انہیں آگ سے نجات ملی، اسی دن حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام اور ان کے ساتھیوں کو نجات ملی اور فرعون اور اس کے ساتھی غرق ہوئے ۔ اسی دن حضرت عیسیٰ علیہ السلام پیدا ہوئے ، اور اسی دن وہ آسمان پر اٹھالیے گئے۔ اسی دن حضرت ادریس علیہ السلام کو بلند مقام (آسمان) پراٹھالیا گیا۔ اسی دن حضرت نوح علیہ السلام کی کشتی جودی پہاڑ پر لگی۔ اسی دن حضرت یونس علیہ السلام کو مچھلی کے پیٹ سے نجات ملی ۔ اسی دن حضرت سلیمان علیہ السلام کو عظیم سلطنت عطا ہوئی ۔اسی دن حضرت یعقوب علیہ السلام کی بینائی واپس ہوئی ۔ اسی دن حضرت ایوب علیہ السلام کی تکلیف دُور ہوئی۔ اسی دن زمین پر آسمان سے پہلی بارش ہوئی۔ (مکاشفۃ القلوب ، صفحہ ٦٩٩)

نوافل برائے شبِ عاشورہ:

٭ جو شخص اس رات میں چار رکعات نماز پڑھے اور ہر رکعت میں الحمد شریف کے بعد پچاس ٥٠ مرتبہ سورہ اخلاص پڑھے تو اللہ عزوجل اس کے پچاس برس گزشتہ اور پچاس سال آئندہ کے گناہ بخش دیتا ہے۔ اور اس کے لئے ملاءِ اعلیٰ میں ایک محل تیار کرتا ہے۔

٭ اس رات دو ٢ رکعات نفل قبر کی روشنی کے واسطے پڑھے جاتے ہیں جن کی ترکیب یہ ہے کہ ہر رکعت میں الحمد شریف کے بعد تین تین مرتبہ سورہ اخلاص پڑھے۔ جو آدمی اس رات میںیہ نماز پڑھے گا تو اللہ تبارک و تعالیٰ قیامت تک اس کی قبر روشن رکھے گا۔

عاشورے کے روزے رکھنے کی فضیلت:

حضور علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام نے فرمایا: اگر مومن اللہ کی راہ میں روئے زمین پر مال خرچ کرے تو اسے (اس قدر) بزرگی حاصل نہ ہوگی جس قدر کوئی عاشورے کے روز روزہ رکھے۔ اس کے لیے جنت کے آٹھ دروازے کھل جائیں ، وہ جس دروازے سے داخل ہونا پسند کرے گا داخل ہوگا۔ (لطائف اشرفی ، صفحہ ٣٣٦)

حضور علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام نے فرمایا: جو شخص عاشورے کے دن روزہ رکھے پس شب و روز کی ساعتوں میں ہر ساعت اللہ تعالیٰ اُن ساعتوں کی ہر ساعت کے بدلے اس پر سات لاکھ فرشتے نازل فرمائے گا جو قیامت تک دعا اور استغفار کریں گے اور بے شک اللہ تعالیٰ کی آٹھ جنتیں ہیں، اللہ تعالیٰ ہر بہشت میں ساٹھ لاکھ فرشتے مقرر کرے گا کہ (عاشورے کے روزے دار کےلئے ) روزہ رکھنے کے دن سے اس بندے اور بندی کی موت تک محلات اور شہر تعمیر کرے ، درخت اُگائیں، نہریں جاری کریں۔ (لطائف اشرفی ، صفحہ ٣٣٦)

حضور علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام نے فرمایا: جس شخص نے عاشورے کے دن کا روزہ رکھا اس کا اجر توریت، انجیل ، زبور اور قرآن میں جتنے حرف ہیں ان کی تعداد کے مطابق ہر حرف پر بیس نیکیاں ہونگی۔ جس شخص نے عاشورے کے دن کا روزہ رکھا اسے ایک ہزار شہیدوں کا ثواب ملے گا۔ (لطائف اشرفی ، صفحہ ٣٣٦)

حضور علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام نے فرمایا: جس شخص نے عاشورے کے دن کا روزہ رکھا خاموشی اور سکوت میں وہ روزہ اس کے اُس سال کے گناہوں اور خطاؤں کا کفارہ ہوگا، اور جو شخص کامل قیام، رکوع اور سجود کے ساتھ دو رکعت نماز خضوع سے پڑھے اللہ تعالیٰ فرمائے گا اس بندے کی جزا کیا ہونی چاہیے پس فرشتے عرض کریں گے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ تو ہی خوب جانتا ہے پھر اللہ تعالیٰ فرمائے گا اس کے حساب میں ہزار ہزار نیکیاں لکھی جائیں اور ہزار ہزار بدی مٹادی جائیں۔ اس کارتبہ ہزار ہزار درجے بلند کیا جائے۔ ہم نے اپنی بزرگی کے ہزار ہزار دروازے کھول دیے ہیں جو اس پر کبھی بند نہ کیے جائیں گے۔ (لطائف اشرفی ، صفحہ ٣٣٦)

ایصالِ ثواب برائے امام حسین رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ

امیر المومنین امام حسین رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، کے ایصال ثواب کیلئے دورکعات نماز ادا کرے اور دونوں رکعتوں میں فاتحہ کے بعد دس بار سورہ اخلاص پڑھے ۔ سلام کے بعد نو ٩ نو ٩ بار آیت الکرسی اور درود شریف پڑھے۔ بیان کیا گیا ہے کہ حضرت امیر المومنین رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، اس روز دو رکعت نماز ادا فرماتے تھے۔ اس کی پہلی رکعت میں فاتحہ کے بعد اَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ اور دوسری میں اِذَاجَآءَ پچیس پچیس بار پڑھے۔ (لطائف اشرفی ، صفحہ ٣٣٨)

ہر حاجت پوری ہوگی (انشاء اللہ)

جو شخص عاشورے کے روز حاجت کے لیے یہ دعا مانگے اس کی حاجت پوری ہوگی

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم اِلٰہِیْ بُحُرْمَتِ الْحُسَیْنِ وَ اَخِیْہِ وَ اُمِّّہِ وَ اَبِیْہِ وَجَدِّہِ وَ بَنِیْہِ فَرِّجْ عَمَّا اَنَا فِیْہِ وَصَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلٰی خَیْرِ خَلْقِہ  مُحَمَّدٍ وَّاٰلِہ  اَجْمَعِیْنَ
(ترجمہ) اللہ کے نام سے شروع بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا۔ اے اللہ! حسین رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، اُن کے بھائی، اُن کی والدہ، اُن کے والد اور اُن کے نانا کی حرمت کے واسطے سے میں جس حاجت میں ہوں وہ مجھ پر کھول دے ۔ اللہ تعالیٰ اپنے بہترین خلائق محمدا پر اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی تمام آل پر رحمت فرما۔ (لطائف اشرفی ، صفحہ ٣٣٨)

یومِ عاشورہ کے ممنوعات:

عاشورہ کے دن سیاہ کپڑے پہننا، سینہ کوبی کرنا، کپڑے پھاڑنا، بال نوچنا، نوحہ کرنا، پیٹنا، چھری چاقو سے بدن زخمی کرنا جیسا کہ رافضیوں کا طریقہ ہے حرام اور گناہ ہے اِیسے افعال شنیعہ سے اجتناب ِ کلی کرنا چاہیے۔ ایسے افعال پر سخت ترین وعیدیں آئی ہیں جن میں سے چند تحریر کی جاتی ہیں:

حدیث ١:

عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، سے روایت ہے کہ فرمایا رسول خدا صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ  وسلم نے کہ ہمارے طریقے پر وہ نہیں ہے جو رخساروں کو مارے اور گریبان پھاڑے اور پکارے جاہلیت کا پکارنا۔ (فضائل الایام والشہور ، صفحہ ٢٦٤۔ بحوالہ مشکوۃ صفحہ ١٥٠)

حدیث ٢:

سیدنا حضرت ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، نے فرمایا کہ ابو موسیٰ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، پر بے ہوشی طاری ہوگئی پس آئی اس کی عورت جس کی کنیت ام عبداللہ تھی اس حال میں رونے کے ساتھ آواز کرتی تھی۔ جب ان کو افاقہ ہوا تو کہا کیا تو نہیں جانتی اور تھے ابو موسیٰ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، جو اس کو خبر دے رہے تھے کہ پیغمبر علیہ الصلوٰۃ والسلام نے فرمایا: میں بیزار ہوں اس شخص سے جو بال منڈائے اور بلند آواز سے روئے اور کپڑے پھاڑے۔

حدیث ٣:

سیدنا حضرت ابو مالک اشعری رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ، سے مروی ہے کہ رسولِ خدا صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا چار خصلتیں میری امت میں جاہلیت کے کام سے پائی جاتی ہیں فخر کرنا، اپنے حسب میں طعن کرنا، عیب نکالنا لوگوں کی نسب میں، بارش طلب کرنا ستاروں سے اور ماتم میں نوحہ کرنا۔ اور فرمایا نوحہ کرنے والی مرنے سے قبل توبہ نہ کرے تو قیامت کے روز کھڑی کی جائے گی اس حال میں کہ گندھک کی قمیص اس پر ہوگی اور ایک قمیص خارش والی ہوگی۔

2nd MuHarram | Asad al-Din Abu Mahfuz Ma'roof al-Karkhi Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho

Asad al-Din Abu Mahfuz

Ma'roof al-Karkhi Alaihir raHmah

HIS POSITION IN THE SILSILA:

Hadrat Asad al-Din Abu Mahfuz Shaykh Ma'roof Ibn Feroz al-Karkhi Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho is the ninth Imam and Shaykh of the Silsila Aaliyah Qadiriyah Barakatiyah Ridawiyah Nooriyah.

Excellence and Virtues of the Second caliph of Islam Sayyiduna Umar Ibn al-Khattab Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu

All praise is for Allah who ennobled the ability of those who desire to be his servants. I testify that there is no deity except Allah, the King of the distressed and the happy, I testify that our master Muhammad is his beloved Messenger, who establishes the right path, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, his family, his companions and the outstanding leaders.

Fazail wa Manaqib | Sayyiduna Farooq-e-Azam Umar Ibn al-Khattab Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu [URDU]

وہ عمر جس کے اعداء پہ شیدا سقر ؛ اس خدا دوست حضرت پہ لاکھوں سلام
فارق حق و باطل امام الہدیٰ ؛ تیغ مسلول شدت پہ لاکھوں سلام
ترجمان نبی ہمزبان نبی ؛ جان شان عدالت پہ لاکھوں سلام






نہیں خوش بخت محتا جان عالم میں کوئی ھم سا ۔۔۔ ملا تقدیر سے حاجت روا فاروق اعظم سا
مراد آئی مرادیں ملنے کی پیاری گھڑی آئی ۔۔۔ ملا حاجت روا ہم کو در سلطان عالم سا





فدا اے ام کلثوم آپ کی تقدیر یاور کے ۔۔۔ علی بابا ہوا دولہا ہوا فاروق اکرم سا
شیاطیں مضمحل ہیں تیرے نام پاک کے ڈر سے ۔۔۔ نکل جائے نہ کیوں رفاض بد اطوار کا دم سا






ترے جود و کرم کا کوئی اندازہ کرے کیونکر ۔۔۔ ترا اک اک گدا فیض و سخاوت میں ہے حاتم سا
خدارا مہر کر اے ذرا پرور مہر نورانی ۔۔۔ سیہ بختی سے ہے روز میرا شب غم سا


















منائیں عید جو ذی الحجہ میں تیری شہادت کی ۔۔۔ الٰہی روز و ماہ و سن انہیں گزرے محرم سا
حسن در عالم پستی سر سفعت اگر داری ۔۔۔ بیا فرق ارادت بردر فاروق اعظم سا

27 Dhul-Hijjah | Hadrat Shaykh Ja'far Abu Bakr al-Shibli Radi Allahu Anhu

Qutb al-Aarifeen ; Mujaddid al-Islam
Shaykh Abu Bakr al-Shibli Alaihir raHmah

HIS POSITION IN THE SILSILA: Qutb al-Aarifeen, Mujaddid al-Islam, Waaqif-e-Rumooz-e-Khafi wa Jali, Hadrat Shaykh Ja'far Abu Bakr Shibli Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho is the twelveth Imam and Shaykh of the Silsila Aaliyah Qadiriyah Barakatiyah Ridawiyyah Nooriyah.

The Prophets ['Alaihim as-Salam] are Alive!!

The Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama'ah holds an obstinate belief that the Prophets Alaihim as-Salam are Alive and life of the Prophets in their graves is firmly established through authentic and explicit proofs. The great Hadith Master, Imam Bayhaqi compiled them in a separate book. Imam Jalal Al-Suyuti, Master of Hadith, also authored a book on this topic. May Allah Most High have mercy on them both. Master of Hadith Ibn Hajar says:

[22nd Dhul-Hijjah] Birthday of the Ghawth and Grand Mufti of India | Imam Mustafa Rida Noori al-Qadiri

Birthday of the Ghawth & Grand Mufti of India
Imam Mustafa Rida Noori al-Qadiri Alaihir raHmah

Ghawth al-Waqt Mufti A'zam Qutbe-'Alam 'Arife-Billah Aalur-RaHman MuHiyy al-Din Jilani Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Barakati Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was born on 22 Zil-Hajj 1310 in Bareilly Sharif, U.P., India. He was the youngest son of Qutbul-Irshad Imam al-Akbar A'la-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa al-Qadiri Barkati Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho the Mujdaddid of the 14th Century.

His ancestor, Shuja'at Jung MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan, accompanied Sultan Nadir Sha Abdali in 1739 AD on his first political expedition to Hindustan. Nadir Sha returned to Afghanistan but Shuja'at Jung MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho decided to settle in Hindustan. In later years (between 1739 and 1748 AD), Sultan MuHammad Sha (d. 1748 AD), King of Delhi officially appointed him to the rank of Shash-Hazaari. This was indeed a very elite post in the Moghal Empire which was only entrusted to one of Royal Descent. The Moghal King also gave him The Glass Palace of Lahore and some districts in Rampur as his Jageer .

Later, by Divine Command, General MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho settled in Bareilly which was then known as the capital of the famous Rohelkand District of the empire.

Important Point

The following ancestral tree of HaDrat Mufti A'zam Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was carefully constructed from the authentic Books of Genealogy and meticulously scrutinized with references to other books in this field. The ancestors were compared with dates and periods found in books written by Historians who were masters in this field. The following points were noted before compiling the Ancestral Tree:

- Preference was given to books compiled by Historians of Afghan descent/origin as they knew their descendants better than others.

- Furthermore, amongst the Afghani Historians, preference was given to Historians that belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe as the Ghawth al- Waqt Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe.

- There is not much dispute in the Chain of the Ancestral Tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam to Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam.

- The chain of the Family Tree from Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam to HaDrat Malik Taloot Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was extracted according to the citation found in the books of authors who belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe. This was so because people of a Tribe will have more genuine information of their ancestors in relation to others of different tribes.

- There is a consensus in Books of Ancestral Trees from HaDrat Malik Taloot Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho up to Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and so is the case from Sayyiduna 'Abdur-Rashid to Bar'hech.

- From Bar'hech till HaDrat Shuja'at Jang MuHammad Sa'eedullah Khan the genealogy was extracted from Khulasatul-Ansab, Akhbar al-Sanadid and Bustan-e-Hikmat, whose authors are not only Afghanis, but belonged to the Bar'hech Tribe.

This is how cautiously this Family Tree from Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam till Ghawth al-Waqt, HaDrat Mufti A'zam Qutbe-'Alam's Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was constructed. The Ancestral Tree is as follows:

Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mujaddid Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Ra'isul-Atqiya Imam MuHammad Naqi 'Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Arife-Billah Imam RiDa 'Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mawlana Hafiz Kazim 'Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mawlana Sha MuHammad A'zam Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Mawlana MuHammad Sa'adat Yaar Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Shuja'at Jung MuHammad Sa'idullah Khan Bhadur Qandhari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Abdur-RaHman Khan Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Yusuf Khan Qandhari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Dawlat Khan s/o Badal Khan s/o Da'ood Khan s/o Bar'hech Khan s/o Sharfud-Deen 'Urf Shar'haboon s/o Ibra'him 'Urf Sard'bun s/o Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid SaHabi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Ays Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Salool Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o 'Utba Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Na'eem Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Marra s/o Malik Jalandar s/o Malik Askandar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Zaman s/o 'Unais s/o Bah'lool s/o Sa'lam s/o SalaH s/o Qaroon s/o Nasr s/o Ashmu'ail s/o Na'eem s/o Akram s/o Ash'ath Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho s/o Sharood s/o Makhal s/o Nusrat s/o Qalaj s/o Sher s/o 'Atham s/o Faylool s/o Karam s/o 'Amaal s/o Hudayfa s/o Mat'hal s/o Qabal s/o 'Ilm or 'Aleem s/o Ash'mool s/o Haroon s/o Qamar s/o Abi s/o Su'heb s/o Talal s/o Lu'ee s/o 'Ameel s/o Taraj s/o Arzand s/o Mandool s/o Saleem or Sa'lam s/o Afghana s/o Sarad al-Muqallab bi Malik Taloot s/o Qais s/o 'Utbah s/o Talas s/o Ru'ail s/o Yahoodah s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Ya'qoob Alaihis Salam s/o Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam s/o Khaleelullah Sayyiduna Nabi Ibra'him Alaihis Salam s/o Ta'rikh s/o Makhood or NaHoor s/o Shuroo' or Ash'ragh s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Hood Alaihis Salam s/o 'Abir s/o Sha'lakh s/o Araf'khashad s/o Saam s/o Sayyiduna Nabi NooH Alaihis Salam [age: 1400 years] s/o La'lak [age:780 years] s/o Malik Matla'shakh [age: 900 years] s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Idris Alaihis Salam s/o Bayarad s/o Mahla'heel s/o Qay'nan s/o Anoosh s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Sheeth Alaihis Salam [age: 912 years] s/o Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam [age: 900 years]

HaDrat Mufti A'zam, Qutbe-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho belonged to the Afghani Bar'hech Tribe which was of Royal Descent. This was indeed a very respectable and noble tribe in Afghanistan. Great 'Ulama and Masha'ikh hailed from this dignified tribe whose Mazars are still a centre of solace and spiritual enlightment for the people both in Afghanistan and Hindustan. A separate detailed book can be written about these great dignitaries. Since this a very brief introduction of the Imam, therefore no details will be recorded herein. However, an important point to note is that in the ancestry of Ghawth al-Waqt Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, there are eight Prophets and one SaHabi. The Prophets are:

1) Sayyiduna Nabi Ya'qoob Alaihis Salam
2) Sayyiduna Nabi IsHaq Alaihis Salam
3) Khalilullah Sayyiduna Nabi Ibra'him Alaihis Salam
4) Sayyiduna Nabi Hood Alaihis Salam
5) Sayyiduna Nabi NooH Alaihis Salam
6) Sayyiduna Nabi Idris Alaihis Salam
7) Sayyiduna Nabi Sheeth Alaihis Salam
8) Sayyiduna Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam

The one SaHabi is Sayyiduna Qais Malik 'Abdur-Rashid SaHabi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He is the 43rd descendant of Afghana and 45th descendant of HaDrat Malik Taloot. Qais bin 'Ays lived in the mountainous terrains of Ghour. In one of the Expeditions of Sayyiduna Khalid ibn Walid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, he became interested in Islam. So he took some of the leaders of Afghanistan and went to Madina al-Munawwara. They met the beloved Prophet of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and immediately accepted Islam on his sacred hands. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam then said to him:"Qais is a Hebrew word and I am an Arab. The Prophet of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala gave him the Islamic name 'Abdur-Rashid. The Habib Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam further said: "You are the Awlad of Malik Taloot whom ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala blessed with the title of Malik (King). In the future you too will be remembered with the title of Malik." This is how he got the title of Malik from the office of Prophethood.

It was in the Madinan period that the Beloved Nabi Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam was planning for the conquest of Makka and appointed Malik 'Abdur-Rashid and the other Afghani SaHabi as the lead of the secret service scouts of the army led by Sayyiduna Khalid ibn Walid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. The Afghani Mujahids displayed their astonishing bravery in the battle of Makka. Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho himself killed 70 Kuf'far in this battle. His role and bravery in this war brought great joy to the heart of the Beloved Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam who predicted that a great family will emerge from the off-springs of this Sahabi. They will be steadfast on religion and will strengthen the Din of Islam like Bataan (conqueror with great bravery or Military Advisor). It was the effects of this Du'a of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam that great 'Ulama and Masha'ikh were born in the lineage of Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. To name a few, some of the stars in the firmament of excellence were the great Mujaddid, Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad Raza al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and his son, Ghawth al-Zaman Mufti A'zam Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Their services to the Din is known to the Muslim World and precisely the manifestations of the Du'as of the Beloved Prophet of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.

Since the Beloved Nabi's Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam Du'a for the Awlad of Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was that they will strengthen the Din and their strength will be like Bataan, from that day on he became famous by the title of "Bataan". This word Bataan in later days changed to the present day name "Pathaan". Eventually, the Awlad of Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then became synonymous by the word Pathaan. This is how the word Pataan can into existence. Sayyiduna Malik 'Abdur-Rashid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho married Mutahira, the daughter of Sayyiduna Khalid ibn Walid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, and he passed away at the age of 87 years.

GLAD TIDINGS BEFORE THE MASTER'S BIRTH

Before the birth of the Ghawth, his father Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, was on a visit to the Mazar of his Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in Marehra Sharif. It was on the night of 22nd of Zil-Hajj that the noble Imam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had a dream. He noticed in this dream that the full moon began descending towards the earth and it was many folds bigger than the earth. As it descended, its size began decreasing and its brilliance increased. So much so that it comfortably landed on his lap. That morning Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho awoke for Tahajjud Salah and Almighty ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala inspired his heart with the correct interpretation of that dream. The Imam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho immediately made WuDu and performed two Rak'ats of Shukr (thanks-giving) and named his son Aalur-RaHman.

That same day he performed the Salatul-Zuhr with the Qutb, Sirajul-'Arifin, Sayyid Abul-Husain AHmade-Noori al-Husaini Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in the Musjid of the Masha'ikh. After the Salah, he left the Musjid with the Qutb 'Arife-Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. As the Qutb Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho reached the steps of the Musjid, he turned to Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho as if he had already intercepted his dream and intention and said: "Mawlana SaHib! You must return to Bareilly as ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala has blessed you with a pious and gifted son. I suggest the name Aalur-RaHman Abul-Barakat MuHiyy al-Din Jilani for him. I will certainly come to Bareilly to see him and bestow all the Spiritual Secrets on him." The Qutb also gave Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho a five Rupee silver coin as a gift for the new-born son.

However, Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho obeyed the command of the Qutb who was not only his Peer-Bhai but also his Teacher and immediately left for Bareilly. He reached Bareilly the same day and was delighted to see his new-born son. Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho inquired about the time of the son's birth and it was confirmed that it was the exact time that the Qutb Sayyid 'Arife-Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, had intercepted when leaving the Musjid after Salatuz-Zuhr in Marehra. SubHanALLAH! What precise perception is bestowed upon the beloved servants of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala!

The noble Imam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then kissed his son on the forehead, hugged him to his chest and said: "Welcome, O perfect Wali!" The arrival of this son brought great joy to all in the household because many daughters were born in his home after the first son, Hujjatul-Islam Mawlana Hamid RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. There was an 18 year gap between the first son and the new arrival. Everyone in the family was so overjoyed that they celebrated his arrival for many months.

HIS 'AQEEQA

His father, Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, though chose the name Aalur-RaHman on the morning of his dream, but instead, he kept his name MuHammad when the Aqiqa was performed for two apparent reasons.

- Firstly, this was so because there are no limits of Barakat and blessing in the name MuHammad.
- And secondly, A'la-HaDrat was a great 'Arif and an 'Arif's vision is always focused on the LouH-e-MaHfooz (Sacred Tablet of Records). The great Imam and 'Arif noticed the physical life u of his son on the LouH-e-MaHfiz which was 92 years and kept his name MuHammad. The Ghawth, HaDrat Mufti A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho passed away in 1981 at the age of 92. According to numerology and the Abjad Formula calculation, the numerical value of the word MuHammad is 92. It was only after the demise of HaDrat Mufti A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho that this secret and Karamat of Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was understood by the people. The word complimented his son's love for the Master Sayyiduna MuHammad Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam and it's numerical value complimented his age u as Divinely pre-destined on the LouH-e-MaHfooz.

HIS BAY'AH AND KHILAFAT

On Wednesday, 25th Jamadiul-Thani 1310 / 3rd January 1894 as promised the great Qutb, Sayyidi Abul-Husain AHmad-e-Noori al-Husaini al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho came to Bareilly, to visit the new born. The child was 6 months and 3 days old. Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho took the child and placed him on the sacred lap of the Great Qutb Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Sayyidi 'Arife-Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho carefully looked at the face of this child for a long time and kissed his forehead and said to the father: "Mawlana! This is a gifted child and a born Wali of ALLAH! As far as Barakat is concerned, he is Abul-Barkat and MuHiyyud-Din as far as Fanaiyyat is concerned. This child will serve the Din extensively and mankind will derive great benefits from him. The vision of this Wali will cherish the hearts of millions and make them steadfast on the Din and from him will flow an ocean of Divine Grace."

After these glad tidings, the Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho placed his blessed Shahadah finger in the child's mouth who began suckling as if being breast fed by the mother. It was as if the great Qutb infused all the Barakat and Secrets of the four major Spiritual Orders at once into the receptive heart of this young and future Ghawth of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala. The grand Master then initiated the child in the Qadiriyyah Spiritual Order and bestowed on him the Khilafah of 13 Spiritual Orders. They were as follows:

1) Qadiriyyah Barkatiyyah Jadidah
2) Qadiriyyah Aba'iyyah Qadimah
3) Qadiriyyah Hidayiyyah
4) Qadiriyyah Raz'zaqiyyah
5) Qadiriyyah Mansooriyyah
6) Chishtiyyah Nizamiyyah Qadimah
7) Chishtiyyah MaHboobiyyah Jadididah
8) Suhrawardiyyah WaHidiyyah
9) Suhrawardiyyah FaDiliyyah
10) Naqshabandiyyah 'Ula'iyyah Siddiqiyyah
11) Naqshabandiyyah 'Ula'iyyah 'Ulawiyyah
12) Badi'iyyah
13) 'Uluwiyyah Manamiyyah

After blessing this child with all these lofty stations, the Murshid al-Kaamil'ala Anho then placed the child on the lap of Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and said: "Mubarak to you! The Tafsir of the Ayah وَجَعَل لِّى وَزِيراً مِن اَهلِى has now filled your lap."

This is how the first chapter of this future Ghawth of the Sublime Lord Azzawajal began and at a tender age of 6 months and 3 days he was introduced to this Ummah. After the completion of his external studies, HaDrat Mufti A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho perfected the mystical sciences and Sulook under the Spiritual Guidance of his Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho.

HIS BISMILLAH KHWANI

At the age of 4 years, 4 months and 4 days the traditional Soofi Bismillah Khani was personally performed by Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He was then given in the care of his elder brother, Hujjatul-Islam Mawlana Hamid RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, to teach him the Nazara of the Holy Qur'an. This astonishing child shocked his brother by completing Nazara of the recitation of the entire Qur'an in just 3 years!

HIS EDUCATIONAL CAREER

After the completion of the recitation of the Holy Qur'an, Ala-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then handed him over to the able teachers of teachers [Ustaz al-'Ulama], HaDrat Mawlana RaHam Ilahi Manglori al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho to study the elementary books of the 'Alim course. After teaching him for a few months, he said to Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho: "I am indeed honoured to teach this future giant of Islam. Your son is a Wali and it is not possible for me to perfect him. It is only your personality that can fulfil this difficult task. However, I will do my utmost best to teach him as much as I can which for me is not an easy task. I am dumb-founded at his memory and intellect."

Ghawth al-Waqt, Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam, Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho completed his external studies under 5 Masters. They were as follows:

1) His Father, Imam al-Akbar Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
2) His elder brother, Hujjatul-Islam Mawlana Hamid RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
3) The Teacher of Teachers, HaDrat Mawlana RaHam Ilahi Mang'lori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
4) Shaykh al-'Ulama 'Allama Sayyid Bashir AHmad 'Aligari Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
5) Shams al-'Ulama HaDrat Mawlana Zuhoor al-Hasan Farooqi Rampuri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho

In 1328/1910, at a young age of 18 years, HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had mastered 36 sciences of knowledge. Thereafter, for the next 13 years (1328 to 1340) he sat with his illustrious father, the Mujaddid and Qutbul-Irshad Imam AHmad RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and mastered the science of Islamic Law (Fiqa).

HIS DEVOTION AND 'IBADAH

The Qutb, Mufti al-A'zam Imam Mustafa RiDa al-Qadiri Noori Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho from a very young age till the last moments of his life was always engrossed in the remembrance of Almighty ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala. He never missed his daily Salah and always performed it with the Jama'at in the Musjid. This excessive remembrance was so intense that it was often noticed that his lips moved in Dhikr while he was asleep. He sat in long devotions after the Fajr and Maghrib Salahs. He used to perform the Imamat of the Rijal al-Ghayb and Jinns after mid-night. There were instances that people noticed him teaching a group of "amazing" people late after mid-night in the confines of his private chamber . Sometimes people peeped into his private room of 'Ibadah to see this class in session. Such people were later confronted by the student Jinns in anger and warned not to interfere in their matters when engaged with their Shaykh at night. This confrontation had such an impact on them that they lay sick for days.

The Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was a master of the highly esoteric Dhikr of Sultan al-Azkar. This Dhikr is also known as Dhikre-Ara, the Dhikr of the Saw. This is a highly secret form of Dhikr of the senior Awliya of ALLAH. Years of practice is required to perfect this Dhikr. When the 'Amil is engaged in this Dhikr, every joint in his body becomes dislodged and the pieces are scattered on the floor bouncing in the ecstasy of the Dhikr of "ALLAH ALLAH". If anyone unintentionally has to see this then he would think that someone has chopped up every part of this person. But if a person intentionally invades the privacy of the 'Arif engrossed in this Dhikr, then there is a great chance that he may loose his eyesight or even die. There were 3 or 4 instances in the life of the Murshid al-Kaamil that people unintentionally saw the Master in this state. [In 1994 while I (translator) was attending the 'Urs-e-Noori in Marehra Sharif, I was summoned to the private quarters of the Sajjadah 'Arife-Billah Makhdoom Sayyid Hasan Mia Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. In the chamber, there were 2 of us seated in the august presence of the Master. Professor Sayyid MuHammad Amin Mia and I sat with heads bent in absolute undivided attention while the Master, with tears rolling down his cheeks, spoke of the excellence of the Ghawth al-Waqt, HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. The door was closed and no person was allowed to enter while this meeting was in session.

The Soofi Master Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then mentioned to us of a horrifying experience he had when he was a young boy of about 12 years. At that time the Ghawth, HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was in Marehra Sharif for the Ziyarat of his Peer-o-Murshid's Mazar. It was about 3 p.m. when his brother, the 'Arif, Sayyid al-'Ulama HaDrat Sayyid Ale-Mustafa al-Husaini al-Qadiri Barkati Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho said to him; "Hasan Mia! It's late and HaDrat has not eaten lunch as yet. Go and see where he is and bring him for lunch." I (Sayyid Hasan Mia) immediately went to his room and did not find him there. I inquired from some people sitting outside the room and they mentioned that HaDrat went to the Musjid for Zuhr Salah and not returned as yet. So I went to the Musjid which was totally empty and found the inner section doors closed. As I opened the door, I was horrified to find the body of the Ghawth in pieces and every piece of his body was bouncing on the floor reading "ALLAH ALLAH". I had never seen anything like this before and it had such an impact on me that I instantly became feverish and ran out of the Musjid crying straight to my brother (Sayyid al-'Ulama). I was hysterical and he grabbed me and asked: "What is the matter? Why are you crying?" All I could tell him in that state of terror was that someone had killed HaDrat in the Musjid. My brother was a great Soofi himself and felt my temperature and understood what had happened. He began praying on me until my condition normalized. After a while we saw HaDrat coming out of the Musjid and I was now even more confused as he was in a perfect normal state.

However, after some time Sayyid al-'Ulama Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho explained to me about my experience and said: "HaDrat Mufti al- A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho is a great 'Amil of Sultanul-Azkar. When you saw his state in the Musjid, he was engrossed in this very Dhikr. He is the pride of our Barkati family and the coolness of the eyes of our grandfather HaDrat Noori Dada Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho."

HIS ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTION

Ghawth al-Waqt Mufti al-A'zam Qutbul-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was a prolific writer and wrote numerous books on different subjects of Din. Unfortunately, many were never published and of those that were published, many are out of print. There is some resurgence amongst the present day scholars to locate the Murshid's books to be printed. Below, is a list of some of his books:

These are some of the contributions of the great Mufti and Wali of ALLAH. He has also left thousands of students, Mureeds and Khulafa, who in turn produced thousands of students that are serving the Muslim globally.

The Roving Ambassador of Islam, Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alim Siddiqi al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was a close friend of Ghawth al-Waqt Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and greatly revered him. HaDrat Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alim Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was also a great politician and took an active part in local and international politics. He was very instrumental in abolishing the Hajj Tax then introduced by the Saudī Regime. The introduction of the Hajj Tax infuriated him as it was against the Sharī'ah and affected millions of incoming Hujjaj to the Holy land. It is also ethically incorrect to charge a Hajj Tax on pilgrims who spend thousands and undertake such a strenuous journey only to be welcomed at Jeddah seaport and airport by an unjustified tax instead of being given a warm welcome to the Holy Land as the guest of Allah Azzawajal and His Rasūl Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam.

He consulted with the most senior Jurist of the Muslim World, the great 'Arife Billah, Qutb al-'Alam, Muftī al-A'zam, Imam Mustafa RīDa al-QaDirī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and requested him for an Islamic ruling (Fatwa) on the Hajj Tax. The Grand Mufti issued an Islamic decree in the Arabic language condemning the Hajj Tax as un-Islamic which was later published by the title:

طَردُ الشَّيطَان عَن سَبِيلِ الرَّحْمن اَلمُلَقِّب بِعُمْدَةُ البَيَان فيِ حُرْمَةِ كُوشَان
"Tard al-Shaytan 'un Sabil al-RaHman al-Mulakkab bi 'Omdat al-Bayan fi Hurmate Koshan".

This Fatwa was acknowledged and ratified by many giants of the Islamic World, namely Sadr al-Afadil Mawlana Sayyid Na'īmudīn Muradabadī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, Sadr al-Shari'ah Mawlana Amjad 'Ali al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, etc.

Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alim Siddiqui Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho took this Fatwa and set out to meet with the King in Hijaz and debated the Hajj Tax and presented the Fatwa. The Fatwa of HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho convinced the Wahabi Clergies and the King then abolished the Hajj Tax, but unfortunately, the Saudi authorities later reinstated this un-Islamic Tax to exploit the pilgrims to the Holy Land.

Ghawth al-Waqt Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was also a celebrated Poet and the collection of his poetry has been published under the title of Saman-e-Bakh'shish which widely read internationally.

It is amazing to note that wherever you find Sunni Muslims in the world, you ought to find someone amongst them doing work for the Ahle-Sunnah who is either a Mureed or a student of the Mureed of the Ghawth HaDrat Mufti al-A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. The list students and Khulafa is too extensive to mention here. However, a short list of his famous Khulafa is give below. The Ghawth of ALLAH Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had over TWENTY MILLION MUREEDS who are living throughout the world. Isha-ALLAH, I intend to compile a detailed book on my Murshid al-Kamil in due course. Please make Du'a that Almighty ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala grants me the strength to undertake this mammoth task.

HIS JOURNEY TO THE HARAMAYN AL-SHAREEFAYN

The Ghawth performed his first Hajj in 1323/1905 at the age of 13 years with his illustrious father, A'la-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. His second trip was in 1364/1945 and the third trip was in 1391/1971. The third trip was a very historic one where all Hujjaj were required to travel with a passport and a valid Hajj Visa. Both these documents had to have the photograph of the traveller. But the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, from a very young age never took out a photograph because the sacred Shari'ah forbade the taking of photograps . He always strictly followed the Laws of the Shari'ah in all aspects of his life. Since he had made his Niyyah for Hajj and Ziyarah, hence nothing could now stop him to undertake this sacred journey. It was his Charismatic Exploit that the Indian Government and the Saudi Consulate exempted him from the use of a photograph on his passport which was indeed the first time for something like this to happen. Why not, no Law is superior to the Divine law of Almighty Allah Azzawajal and one who adheres to the Divine Law is always Divinely Protected by the Sublime Lord Azzawajal. This was a unique occasion when the world witnessed the Divine Control of Allah Azzawajal and the authority of His Azzawajal Awliya.

In this trip, the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was accompanied by his wife, his niece, his grandson, the very old servant-lady (Khadima) of his father, A'la-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and my humble self. This journey was undertaken by ship. The Murshid was welcomed at Jeddah docks by Qutb al-Madina Shaykh Dia al-Din AHmad Siddiqi al-Qadiri Madani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, HaDrat Mawlana Shaykh FaDlur-RaHman Madani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, the Indian Ambassador and hundreds of Mureeds and followers.

The 'Ulama of Haramayn Sharifayn, the Arab word and scholars of Din always humbled themselves in the presence of the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. These dignitaries sat around the Ghawth as students and devotees seeking his grace, Du'as and Asanid [Certificates of Khilafat, Hadith Narrations, Fiqh and Awrad]. Amongst the Makkan 'Ulama who met with and took Ijazah and Khilafa from the Ghawth were:
 
- Qutbul-Waqt 'Arife-Billah Sayyidi Shaykh Amin Qutbi al-Husaini Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
- Sayyid al-'Ulama HaDrat Sayyid 'Alawi Maliki al-Hasani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho (the illustrious father of Sayyid MuHammad 'Alawi al-Maliki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho)
- Ustaz al-'Ulama HaDrat Mawlana Shaykh MuHammad Noor Saif Makki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
- Shaykh Sayyid MuHammad 'Alawi Maliki al-Hasani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
- Shaykh Sayyid Mu'ad FatHullah Khalifa al-Husaini Shami etc.

It was in this trip that the famous MuHaddith of Makka al-Mukarramah, Sayyidi MuHammad 'Alawi Hasani al-Maliki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, received the Khilafat of the consecrated Qadiriyyah Spiritual Order and Ijazah of Narration of the Hadith al-Sharif from the great Ghawth, Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho . I was personally present in this coronation which took place in the home of Sayyidi MuHmmad's Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho father, Sayyid al-'Alawi al-Hasani Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho in Makka al-Mukarrama. AlHamdulillah! This humble servant has in his possession the pen and ink-pot which the the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho used to write the Certificate of Khilafat and Hadith al-Sharif.

Sayyid MuHammad Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho followed the Murshid al-Kamil throughout his stay in Makka al-Mukarrama and his ardant love and devotion for the Ghawth was so strong that he even followed him to Madina al-Munawwara. Here, in this sanctified city of the Habib Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, the Sayyid daily visited the Master for the 31 days he spent here. I am a witness to this as I was every moment in the service of the Murshid and responsible to present tea and refreshments to all the guests. In some meetings Sayyid MuHammad spent hours with the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Periodically, I served tea to the Sayyid and every time he moved the tea in front of the Master and sat staring at his luminous face. It was the unique nature of the Ghawth Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho that when he had any association with any Sayyid, he expressed great love and affection to them. Since Sayyidi MuHammad was a progeny of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam the Murshid compassionately requested him to drink the tea. But the Sayyid refused saying, "I would only drink if you first make the tea Tabarruk by drinking from it." So the Murshid, with tears rolling down his cheeks, read some Du'a and drank a little tea and passed it on to Sayyid MuHammad. The Sayyid's face brightened up with happiness and he drank the tea. After some time the Master ordered more tea and the Sayyid would do the same. The Ghawth said that he had already made it Tabarruk the first time and he should now drink it. But Sayyid MuHammad 'Alawi replied; "If I have to drink tea a thousand times in your august presence, you will have to first make it Tabarruk before I drink it." This was the extreme love and respect the 'Ulama and Masha'ikh of Haramayn al-Sharifayn expessed for the great Ghawth of Allah. May the Sublime Lord Azzawajal sanctify their souls and through them, bless us with the sweetness of Iman - Amin thumma Amin.

HIS MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN

Ghawth al-Waqt, Murshid al-Kamil Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was married to his cousin and only child of HaDrat Mawlana MuHammad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho on 11th May 1911. Mawlana MuHammad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was the youngest brother of A'la-HaDrat Imam RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and received all his education from his big brother. He was a master of 'Ilm al-Fara'iD (Faculty of Distribution of Inheritance) and all questions (Fatawa) pertaining to this subject that came to A'la-HaDrat Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was referred to him to be answered. HaDrat Mufti A'zam Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho had six daughters and one son, Anwar RiDa, who passed away at a tender age of 18 months. His progeny survives through his daughters.
 
HIS WISAL SHAREEF

Ghawth al-Waqt, Mufti al-A'zam Qutb al-'Alam Imam Mustafa RiDa Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho peacefully departed from this mundane world at the age of 92 on Wednesday night – 1:40 am, 14th MuHarram al-Haram 1402 / 11th November 1981. He was put to rest on the right side next to his illustrious father, Qutb al-Irshad Imam al-Akbar Ala-HaDrat Imam AHmad RiDa al-Qadiri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Although the illustrious Ghawth has physically departed from this material world, but the spiritual beams of his guidance and blessings still manifests as a radiant beacon for Mureeds of the sanctified Qadiriyyah Barkatiyyah RaDawiyyah Spiritual Order.

May ALLAH Azzawajal The Real Absolute, instil in our hearts the love and honour for all the Awliya-ALLAH and give us courage to follow the principles of mystical ethics taught by the Righteous 'Ulama and Masha'ikh and as laid down in their books.

22nd Dhul-Hijjah | Shaykh Abd al-Aleem Siddiqui al-Qadiri Meerathi Alaihir RaHma

Roving Ambassador of Islam
Shaykh Abd al-Aleem Siddiqui al-Qadiri

 

Shaykh is resting at the blessed feet of Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah in Jannat al-Baqee.

"My heart yearns to show it's bleeding scars
And to teach everyone on earth the laws
Which might make blessed life's span
This is my yearning and this is my aim
This is my intention and this is my claim
With this I yearn to scan the globe
And deliver to humanity the message of Hope"

[An extract from a poem by Mawlana Shah Abd al-Aleem Siddiqui written in his college years]

Blessed Birth

"Roving Ambassador of Islam", Mawlana 'Abd al-'Alīm Siddiquī al-Qadirī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho was born on 15th Ramadan 1310 Hijrī in Meeruth, India. He hails from the noble Siddiquī family who are direct descendants of Ameer al-Mo'minīn Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Al-Siddique Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho in the 37th generation.

Early Education

His father, Hadrat Mawlana 'Abd al-Hakim Siddiquī al-Qadirī Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho was a distinguished scholar and a high ranking 'Alim of Dīn. He was also a devout Sufi Master of the Qadiriyyah Spiritual Order. He took special care in the education of his son who completed his Nazara (visual recitation) of the Holy Qur'an at the tender age of 4. He studied elementary Arabic and Persian under the guidance of his father at home and was then enrolled at the local Madressa 'Arabiyyah Qoumiyyah where he graduated as an 'Alim. He then pursued his Secular studies at the Islamiyah High School until Matric (Grade 12). His classmate was the former president of India Dr. Zakir Hussain. In 1917, he then enrolled at Meeruth University where he graduated with a bachelor's degree with distinction.

Spiritual Development

His elder brother, the great 'Alim Hadrat Mawlana Sha Ahmed Mukhtar Siddiquī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho then took him to Bareilly and handed him over to the great Mujaddid, 'Arif Billah A'la'Hadrat Imam al-Akbar Qutb al-Irshad Muhaqqiq Ahmad Rīda al-Qadirī Muhaddith Bareilwi Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho. Here he was groomed in many Islamic sciences including strenuous spiritual training in Tasawwuf under the able supervision of the Sufi Master and 'Arif of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala. After spiritual perfection, the Imam bestowed on him the Khilafah of the Qadiriyyah Barkatiyyah Silsilah. It was here that the ardent love of the Beloved Habīb Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam was injected into his heart that transformed him into a perfect human (Insan al-Kamil).

Hadrat Mawlana Abdul Aleem Siddiqui (Radi Allah Ta'ala Anho) was already swimming in the ocean of Ishq (love) that led him to adhere to a stable spiritual life. His mission started when he was ordered by his spiritual teachers to visit the Holy Land of Makkah al-Mukarramah. His journey to Makkah Sharif was the culmination of his spirituality, it was at that pinnacle moment that his lessons in 'Baatin' (inner) had to be lived in "zahiri' (exterior). He set himself, body & soul to the pilgrimage in 1919. His life took a different turn when he stepped on the doorway of our Beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. He was warmly welcomed, as our Beloved (Sallahu Alaihi  wa Sallam) blessed the heart of the Shaykh. Immediately he was convinced and inspired that he was a man chosen by Allah The Almighty and our Beloved Prophet (Sallahu Alaihi  wa Sallam) to sacrifice his entire life to the service of humanity. His mission was handed over by beloved Prophet (Sallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) to his heart and soul. This was when his real journey commenced.

He endured many painful obstacles and tribulations, but continued to persist through them with admirable patience. His heart was set to acquire the inner knowledge that he was taught during his early years. His approach to Tassawuf and spirituality was a distinctive feature that differentiated Shaykh (Radi Allah Ta'ala Anho) from other living scholars. The desire to spread the teaching of Islam became so intense, that he traveled far and wide not only to spread Deen Islam and to enrich people's conception about spirituality but also for the gratification of his soul.

Dunya Chaani Alaam Mein Phira, Par Tera Shuragh kahin Na Mila
Jab Chashm-e-Baseerat se Dekha, hay Dil ke Andar Tu Hi Tou.

He traveled through out the entire globe for 30 years with that sacred inspiration and mission to revive humanity and reveal the truth to everyone's heart. He was not only a scholar, but also a highly endowed spiritual master conveying the message. He brought spiritual illumination to the hearts of thousands; Muslims and Non Muslims. His prayers had given hope to many that were struck by incurable illnesses. People around the world felt the sweetness of his presence. Many were attracted by his sincerity, others by the manifestation of a divine light, which encompassed his entire being and many others, by his friendly and compassionate attitude. His blessed presence and spiritual magnetism had given new impetus to the religious and social lives of thousands. He had gained a high esteem in everybody's heart and continues to be remembered by so many as a great Sufi and spiritual leader.

Shaykh was such a highly endowed Sufi that his intelligence conquered eminent persons such as leaders and statesmen of different religious beliefs. His spiritual achievements were enormously admired and many political leaders and businesses sought his guidance in their matters. He had instilled purity and spirituality in the hearts of those he met. Even the celebrated intellectuals of the west had the opportunity of admiring this great saint of Islam. We cannot forget the infamous encounter between Shaykh (A Theologian) and George Bernard Shaw (A Scholar).

Exalted Teachers

Besides his noble father and Imam Ahmad Rida Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhum Ajma'aeen, some of his other notable teachers were:

a) BaHr al-'Ulūm Mawlana 'Abd al-Hayy Farangī Mahellī.
b) 'Arif Billah Shaykh Ahmad al-Shams Shamil Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho of Morocco.
c) Shaykh Al-Sanusee Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho of Libya.
d) Hakim Ah'tasham al-Dīn (taught him Tibb : Unani Medicine).

Man of Superb Qualities

In Madina al-Munawwarah he was lovingly called "Tabeeb al-Hindi" (Indian Physician). Mawlana was also a celebrated poet and used "Aleem, عليم" as his poetic pen name. He inherited this science from his noble father. Since childhood, he was an influential orator and addressed a huge crowd of Muslims at a Mawlid celebration in Meerut, India at the tender age of 9 years. This was his first public speech and he spoke on the excellence of Sayyiduna Rasūlullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam. His speech had the audience spellbound.

His noble father passed away when he was only 12 years old. Since his mother was a very knowledgeable and pious woman, she undertook the initiative to educate and groom her son to the peak of perfection. Since he was raised in a cradle of knowledge and piety, he possessed a refined character with an impeccable personality. His ancestral Siddiqī blood generated a great sense of awe in his personality that subdued intellectuals and peasants alike.

Roving Ambassador of Islam

Till this day, Hadrat Mawlana is recognised and accepted as the "Roving Ambassador of Islam" for his invaluable services to Islam and the Muslims internationally. He travelled extensively to the four corners of the globe and preached Islam. Numerous persons embraced Islam on his hands and millions benefited from his services of Dīn. Some of the countries he frequented were:

1) United Kingdom
2) United States of America
3) Germany
4) France
5) China
6) Japan
7) Indonesia
8) Malaysia
9) Vietnam
10) Burma
11) Ceylon
12) Mauritius
13) Reunion

Jamia Masjid (Kenya) built by Hadrat Shah Abd al Aleem Siddiqui that had been
the centre of all Sunni activities but currently it is occupied by
Deobandies and Tabhleegies for past 5/6 years.

 

In his tours, he met with leaders of every religion and faith exchanging views not only on religion but also on political and social dimensions. His approach and presentation of Islam won the hearts of many intellectuals and statesmen, who reverted to Islam on his hands. He not only propagated Islam wherever he went, but he also established socio-religious centres that to this day are rendering invaluable services to the masses.

His Eminence was also responsible for establishing various Mosques (Masaajids) and Islamic Educational Centres throughout the world. Hanafi Masjid in Colombo, the Sultaan Masjid in Singapore and the Naagarya Masjid in Japan are few of the famous mosques.

The Inter-Religious Organization was founded in the '40s by Mawlana Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqui Qadiri (may Allah be pleased with him), who also founded the All Malaya Muslim Missionary Society in 1931 and who was the first Muslim "missionary" to travel around the globe a number of times to spread the word of Islam. Jamiyah Singapore was founded in 1932 as an offshoot from this organization.

Expert in more than 15 Languages

He also studied at the Punjab University where he obtained a degree in Oriental languages. Mawlana was fluent in many languages, namely, Urdu, Arabic, Persian, English, German, Japanese, Indonesian, Suhailee ant etc.

Thousands Embraced Islam at his Hands

Thousands embraced Islam at his hands including the well-known thinker Maria Levinskya and her husband the nuclear scientist Dr. Antonoff. An interesting account of Mawlana Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddique's great work for Islam is found in the account of his world tour written by Dr. Tahir bin Ahmad's father - Professor Dr. Ahmad bin Ibrahim presently at the International Islamic University of Malaysia.

During his tour of the world, he met with various western dignitaries and had lengthy discussions with them on Islam. He met the world-renowned Irish dramatist and Philosopher, George Bernard Shaw, on 17th of April 1935 during his visit to Mombassa, Kenya and discussed many religious problems with him. He was very much impressed by Mawlana Abdul Aleem Siddiqi and said,

"I have been very pleased to make the acquaintance, and it will be the most precious of all memories of this trip of mine." ["Shavian and Theologian" published by Genuine Islam and World Federation of Islamic Missions, Karachi]

A Great Politician

Hadrat Mawlana was also a great politician and took an active part in local and international politics. He was very instrumental in abolishing the Hajj Tax then introduced by the Saudī Regime. The introduction of the Hajj Tax infuriated him as it was against the Sharī'ah and affected millions of incoming Hujjaj to the Holy land. It is also ethically incorrect to charge a Hajj Tax on pilgrims who spend thousands and undertake such a strenuous journey only to be welcomed at Jeddah seaport and airport by an unjustified tax instead of being given a warm welcome to the Holy Land as the guest of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and His Rasūl Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam.

His Request for Verdict from Mufti Aazam al-Hind

He consulted with the most senior Jurist of the Muslim World, the great 'Arife Billah, Qutb al-'Alam, Muftī al-A'zam, Imam Mustafa Rīda al-Qadirī Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, and requested him for an Islamic ruling (Fatwa) on the Hajj Tax. The Grand Mufti issued an Islamic decree in the Arabic language condemning the Hajj Tax as un-Islamic which was later published by the title "Tard al-Shaytan un Sabeel al-Rahman al-Muqallib bihi Omdat al-Bayan fi Hurmate Koshan". This Fatwa was acknowledged by many Giants of the Islamic world, namely Sadr al-Afadil Mawlana Sayyid Naī'mudīn Muradabadī Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho, Sadr al-Sharee'ah Mawlana Amjad 'Alee al-Qadiree Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho, etc.

Hadrat Mawlana 'Abd al-'Aleem Siddiquee Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho took this Fatwa and set out to meet the Saudi authorities. He met with the King in Hijaz and debated the Hajj Tax and presented the Fatwa. He convinced the King who then abolished the Hajj Tax. But unfortunately, the Saudi authorities later reinstated this un-Islamic Tax again to exploit the pilgrims to the Holy Land. It is indeed unfortunate that the Muslim world has forgotten the services of this great Ambassador of Islam.

His body rests in Jannat al-Baqee

Hadrat Mawlana Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho was an ardent Lover of the Beloved Habīb, Sayyiduna Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam and always prayed to die and be buried in the sacred city of Madinah al-Munawwarah. The compassionate Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam was fully aware of his ardent lover's desires and hence granted him his wish. Sadly, this brilliant son of Islam finally departed on 22nd Dhul-Hijjah, 1373 Hijri (22nd August 1954) at the age of 63 years and was laid to rest peacefully at the feet of Umm al-Mo'minīn Sayyidah A'yesha Siddiqah Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anha in Jannat al-Baqee'.

Tabhleegh in form of Literature

Although he was extremely busy in his international mission of Tableegh, he still found time to write numerous books in Urdu and English. Some of them are:

1) Zikr-e-Habīb (Urdu)
2) Ahkam-e-Ramadan wa Eid al-Fitr (Urdu)
3) Qadyanī Haqiqat ka Izhar (Urdu)
4) Bahar-e-Shabab (Urdu)

He was also the founder of various newspapers and Islamic magazines from amongst which are, "The Muslim Digest" (South Africa), "Trinidad Muslim Annual" and the "Pakistani News" and was author of numerous books such as the "Cultivation of Science by the Muslims".

In sha-Allah, Barkatur-Raza Publications (Durban, South Africa) intends gathering as many books as possible of this great scholar and publish them so that the wealth left behind by him once again enlightens the hearts of the people.

Muballigh-e-Aazam (The Greatest Propagator of Islam)

His Eminence spent most of his remaining life traveling to the most obscure corners of the world to spread the message of Islam and imparting spiritual teachings to adherents of various sufi orders. It is said that he traversed the world seven times over and has no doubt earned the title — Mubaligh-e-Azam (The Greatest Propagator of Islam).

 

An Ode to the Great Mujjadid
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Qadiri Barakaati Bareillwi

 

Sayyid Ayyub Ali narrates, "The distinguished orator, Allamah Mawlana Haji Qaari Shah Abdul Aleem Siddiqi Qadiri Razawi Meeruti, on returning from the Haramayn Shareefayn presented himself to the Great Imam and recited the following Manqabat in praise of Sayyiduna Ala Hadrat (Radi Allahu Anhu).

You are more than what is said in your praise,
O Sha Ahmad Raza! You are the distributor of Irfaan.

You are drowned in the Ocean of love and intoxicated from the goblet of Tawheed,
You are the accepted of He who is the Beloved of Allah.

You are the centre of Shariah, The orbit of those on the path of Tariqah
and the axis of Haqiqah. Such a Qutbul Awliya are you!

The oceans of Shariah and Tariqah join here.
Your chest is the confluence of those oceans. Such a guide are you!

The people of the Haram have accepted you as their Qibla and Kabaah,
You are the 'people of the Qibla's' Qibla. Such a Qibla are you!

Through whom the Crowns of the Eminent are decorated,
You are such a radiant emerald and priceless gem!

I went to the land of the Arabs and saw with my eyes your activities;
undoubtedly, you are the direction of the Ajam (Non Arab)!

The people of the path of Tariqah travel for you,
Such a Qutb of the time and Leader of the Awliya are you!

The glory of Siddique Akbar is demonstrated through your taqwa,
Why should I not call you the most pious when you are the most virtous!

The awe of Farooq-e-Azam is demonstrated from you,
You are the epitome of harshness on the kuffar,
You are the courageous lion of whom the dissentors fear!

You have collected the secret Quranic points,
This is your inheritance from Uthmaan!

In the sincerity of Ali, mannerism of Hassan and the resolve of Husayn,
By Allah you the most unique of the times and someone unfound!

You are spreading the knowledge of truth into the corners of the globe,
You are the Imaam of the Ahle Sunnah and the Successor to Sayyiduna Gauth-e-Paak!

Beggars beseech and spread their bags before you,
Fill the bags of the mendicant because you are their hope!
No one is ever returned empty handed, such a generosity is yours!

This unfortunate Aleem is a humble beggar of your court,
You are his King who will show favour on his condition!

Once the Mawlana had recited these verses, Sayyiduna Ala Hadrat asked him, "Mawlana, What can I present to you? The Imam pointed to his turban (which was very expensive) whilst he asked this to the Mawlana. Even if I had to present this turban to you, it still would not be worthy to be placed at your feet as you have come from the most sanctified of places. However, I have a very expensive jubba (Cloak) which I shall present to you." Sayyiduna went into his home and returned, carrying in his hands a velvet jubba. He gifted this jubba which could not have been less than 250 Rupees to the Mawlana who stood up to receive it. He received it with both his hands, kissed it and placed it upon his eyes and then upon his head. Then he held it against his chest for a very long time. [Hayaat-e-AlaHadrat by Malik al-Ulama, Shah Zafar al-Din Bihaari]

We pray to the Bounteous Lord through the Waseela of His Compassionate Rasūl, Sayyidun wa Mawlan MuHammadur Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam to shower the grave of the author with choicest blessings and through him, bless us all and let his struggle be a source of guidance to the Mankind. Ameen.
