Preface

It is proud for Delhi to be a house of holy persons as well as

fakirs persons.Many thousand well-known and famous
personalities of connection and permission people of Allah
who are taking resting in the condition of sweet sleep in
their final resting places.
In this book there are added life details of 22 holy persons
of Allah. And who can be called the Qutub of their time?
And spiritual master of their period. And for this reason,
Delhi is sometimes called the "22 Khwajas' abode"
(Dehleez) because 22 Sufi saints, or Khwajas, are buried
there. The name "Dehli" is associated with "Dehleez.".
Qutub of Qutub Hazrat Khaja Qutub Uddin Bakhatiar Kaki,
as per order of his spiritual master Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti, was settled down in Delhi. The spiritual foundation
of the kingdom which he has laid down in Delhi, and its
signs are still seen till today. The earth, time conditions and
events that could not end this kingdom in this matter. The
rules and regulations on which this kingdom laid the
foundation and those rules that guaranteed human welfare.
Among those holy persons who became much famous and
well known, some were called Qutub al-Aqtab, others as
Mahbook Ilahi, Chiragh Delhawi, Mutwakil, Baqi Billah,
Fina Fillah, Muhib Nabi, Maqdum, and some became
Allama (scholars).
 3

From those holy persons there were started Sufi chains that
were found in India and Pakistan and faraway countries, as
well as in their cities and villages.
In this book, there are added in a more brief way life details
of 22 holy persons of Delhi and details of biography,
strange events, and stories rare usages, leaving of luxurious
life, revelation and daily recitals, Wazifs ( Allah has
mentioned in many places in the Qur’aan the recitals
(Wazifas) of many prophets at the time of their difficulties.
Such recitals are significant and beneficial in removing one
from similar difficulties and programs, sayings, revelations
and miracles, endeavors, and worship details, which were

A book for all spiritual seekers

Reviewed in India on 21 June 2020
This is a valuable book with rare and interesting details
from the life of the amazing and one of the greatest Sufi
Saints Taj uddin Baba, who spent most of his life in
Nagpur, in the pre independent India.
I had come across the name of this Saint in the life history
of Shirdi Sai Baba written by Master E. Bharadvaja. It is
reported there that once Shirdi Baba confused his
disciples by mysteriously drumming on a water pot with
his satka (a short stick he used to carry with him). He
explained his action by saying, that he is extinguishing the
fire which caught the hut of Taj uddin Baba in Nagpur.
Taj uddin Baba on the other hand refused to accept a
wealthy visitor called Bapu Saheb Buty as his disciple. He
asked him to seek his salvation from Shirdi Baba. Both
the saints were in communion with each other on the
spiritual plane!
 14

Then I was fortunate enough to read the short biography

of Taj uddin Baba written by the same author Master
Bharadvaja, which impressed me immensely. The
drawback of this short although very valuable biography
was that facts and details mentioned in it are not complete
or not explained in a logical sequence. Which leads to a
feeling of dissatisfaction. Still the reader gets an idea of
the overwhelming spiritual power and universal love of
Taj uddin. But it kindled my interest to know more about
this saint.
This made me always to be in search of a complete
biography of the saint with more details. As I by chance
discovered the Work of Mohammed Abdul Hafeez I was
thrilled and I ordered it immediately and am now a happy
possessor of this book.
Many important details from the life of this Sufi Saint,
which were like missing links, I could gather from this
book:
1. About the ancestry of the saint.
2. His childhood and transition from the worldly life to
that of godliness; the important incidents which took
place and worked as catalysers on the way to his
perfection.
3. His relation with the Maharaja of Nagpur and other
members of the aristocracy.
 15

4. An exhaustive account of his relationship with the

Hindu-disciples and followers.
India is a country of spirituality. Many of its spiritual
masters have transcended the narrow limits of religion,
preached and practised universal humanism. It hardly
mattered for them to which religion their visitors
belonged – they were helped without any discrimination,
because only their merit mattered not their cast or creed.
Swami Veerabhrahmendra’s chief disciple was a Muslim
named Sayyed. Shirdi Baba lived in a mosque and was
equally worshipped by Muslims and Hindus likewise. Taj
uddin Baba was not different in this matter.
As Abdul Hafeez writes in this book about a Hindu-
disciple, Venkat Rao, who worked as a Railway guard.
People observed him sitting near Taj uddin, although he
should have left that place and left Nagpur in a train
leaving for Bombay. His job demanded this. But Venkat
Rao does not leave that place, because he is completely
engrossed in the presence of the Baba. To the surprise of
the other people he was also seen at the same time leaving
in that train, which left for Bombay!
Western Occultism calls this phenomenon “bilocation” –
a miracle shown many times by Taj uddin Baba on
account of his supernatural powers. But the narration of
Hafeez leaves one question open: Did the Saint appear in
 16

the form of Venkat Rao in the train? Or did he transfer

this supernatural power to his disciple so that he could
appear at two places at the same time? Spiritual masters
are capable of doing both the things.
A very interesting part of this book is that it gives a
glimpse into the Muslim or Sufi occultism (see page 81)
and tries to explain how miracles happen. This theme
requires to be elaborated if the author is planning a second
edition.
From the point of view of modern Indian history this book
is of immense importance. Yoga and mysticism have been
not yet fully recognised driving forces behind the Indian
freedom struggle.
The chapter called “Gandhi and Ali Brothers” depicts
Gandhis taking the audience of Taj uddin Baba and the
Baba making two predictions – one for Gandhi and
another one for the Ali Brothers. Both of them turn out to
be true! I request the author to elaborate this chapter with
more details and photos if possible. That would increase
the value of this book hundredfold!
There are certain short comings in regard to the language.
English is a foreign language. It is not always easy to
chose the right preposition or the helping verb. In spite of
this the reader sees the godly figure of the saint Taj uddin
 17

Baba shining behind the linguistic barbed fence of a

foreign language.
This is a book to be recommended for all those who are
interested in mysticism, universal love which overcomes
the narrow limits of religions and for the spiritual seekers.
Dr. Vanamali Gunturu

Introduction
The mirror of reality
The holy persons of Allah, by their conversation and
character, have presented a model of standard life style in
this matter. It was their method of less eating, less talking,
less sleeping, as well as fewer contacts with the other
persons.
 18

They used to live an unconscious condition of loving

Allah as such that they did not know their own condition
of existence in this matter.Surrender to Allah’s will, turst
and content, hope and despair, love and brotherhood,
sincerity and service, indigence and hunger, and
selflessness and firmness was their ideal aim in this
matter.
They consider their trouble and solution, medicine and
remedy, prayer, passion and musical instrument, death
and life, success, as well as defeat from the side of Allah
in this matter. They were prisoners of the love of Allah.
And helpers of the religion of Allah. Helpers of the poor
persons. They were enlightened minds. And perfect peers
and costly and incomparable pearls.
When students will go into their wine houses, then they
show them guidance and to clear filth of the world from
them.

1.Hazrat Khaja Qutub Uddin Bakhtiar Kaki

 19

He was Qutub
(Qutb, Qutub, Kutb, Kutub, or Kotb (Arabic: (‫)قطب‬
which means 'axis', 'pivot', or 'pole'. Qutb can refer to
celestial movements and be used as an astronomical term
or a spiritual symbol. In Sufism, a Qutb is the perfect
human being, al-Insān al-Kāmil ('The Universal Man'),
who leads the saintly hierarchy. The Qutb is the Sufi
spiritual leader who has a divine connection with God and
passes knowledge on which makes him central to, or the
axis of, Sufism, but he is unknown to the world. ] There
are five Qutbs per era, and they are infallible and trusted
spiritual leaders. They are only revealed to a select group
of mystics because there is a "human need for direct
knowledge of God" among Qutub persons. Hazrat Khaja
Qutub Uddin Bakhtiar Kaki is the Quutb of the world.
Shaikh of applicablities as well as Qutb of holy persons as
per agreement of all. He was one of the believers. Model
of the realized person and reason of the salik (student)
persons. He is the light and lamp of the family of Chisit
noble people. He is beloved of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti of Ajmare. And guide of Baba Farid Ganj Shaker.
Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Hazrat Alauddin Saber,
Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiraq Dehlavi, and Khaja Bande
Nawaz’s spiritual master. He, by leaving his country,
arrived in India. He thought the service and company of
Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti was a blessing for him in this
matter. From this company and service, he got the result
 20

that he was the successor, first caliph, and custodian of

Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti of Ajmre. Khawja Ajmeri gave
him the saintliness of Delhi.
Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, who lit the lamp of
light of knowledge of Allah and reality and truth in
Ajmare, and for this lamp, Khwaja Qutub could not be
diminished by fast and heavy winds, nor was he allowed
to decrease the light of this lamp, and after him were his
successors, Baba Faird Ganj Shaker, and also his
successor, who were able to keep the light of the lamp in
this matter. This lamp is found with light in this matter.
The moths of this lamp are found in each and every city
and village of India.
The success which was found to holy persons of Chist and
for which they will feel proud, which will be less in this
matter. The holy persons of Chist by character
and conversation have brought such revolution that it is
effect is there on Indian civilization and culture, thinking
knowledge and literature, poetry, in short in all parts of
life there was such effect and its features which are still
found in this matter.

Birth: His birth date is glad-tiding as soul-pleaser. And a

message of peace and amity. It is the prelude to pleasing
and happiness in spirituality. When he was in the womb
of his mother, and from that time on, his holiness and
excellence prevailed, and his mother told about him,
 22

during the pregnancy period, when she would wake for

Tahjud supererogatory prayer in the early morning time,
she used to hear the sound of ‘Allah al-Allah’, and it
would be for one hour from her womb.
During midnight, Hazrat came into this mortal world. And
there was light full around his house. And due to light, his
mother thought that there was sun rise at that time. So his
mother was surprised in this matter. Her mother saw that
Hazrat’s head was in prostration. And by his tongue of
favor, he was saying Allah, Allah. After some time, when
Hazrat left his head from prostration, that light was no
longer in the house. There was an invisible call in which it
was said, “The light which you have seen is from is one
from the secrets of reality and which have been put in the
heart of your son.”
He was born in the place Awash. This place was find in
the suburbs of Baghdad. This is also shown in the Persian
area. Some have written Awash in village of Marwa Al-
Nahar.Some have written in Tawaba Jan of the Fargana
region.Prince Dar Shikwa has written he was born in
Awash in the area of Fargana in Toba Ind Jam.
Birth place : His birth place and relation of his family is
connected with Awsah Fargana and that village known is
as Towaba Indjam.
 23

Date of birth: About his date of birth, there is much

difference in this matter. His date of birth is 569 Hijri.
Name: His name is Qutubuddin, but some think his name
is Bakhtiar, and Qutubuddin is a title given by Allah.
But the reason for his calling Bakhtiar is that his spiritual
master Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti used to call him
Bakhtiar, and for this reason he was well known by this
name of Bakhtiar.
He was pledged at the hands of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti, as he has pledged in the Sufi Chisti chain, so he
was called Chisti.
Title: His spiritual master, Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti, was given the title of Qutub al-Aqtab.
His family name is Kaki. And for his calling as Kaki,
there are some reasons in this matter. When Hazrat
Qutubuddin Kaki began living in Delhi, he had
disconnected resources of manifestation. He passed life
along to family members in poor living conditions. Hazrat
Khaja Qutub used to live in conditions of engrossment.
His wife used to arrange food and drink in the house.
There was one grocer, and his name is Sharafuddin. And
who used to live in his neighborhood. And Hazrat’s
Qutub’s wife used to purchase on credit from the wife of
the grocer and upon receiving the amount she will use it
 24

to give amount to her in this matter. And there was

happening such dealings.
One day the wife of the grocer taunted her “If there is no
credit from her side, how will her work be done?.” And
this saying was not liked by the wife of Qutub Sahib. She
discontinued taking grocery goods from her. When this
matter was known to Qutub Sahib, he advised her wife to
stop taking credit. But in case of need, by telling Bismilla
to take away bread from the window in this matter. And
her wife began doing this. Once she told this matter to
wife of grocer, then breads were stopped to come from an
unseen source.
Dar Shikwa has written about his calling Kaki is called
for this reason when Hazrat Qutub began residing. He
then did not receive any victories amounts from anyone.
Hazrat always used to live in engrossment, and his boys
used to pass the life in poor condition. He used to take
grocery items from the grocer's wife on credit in case of
hunger. And who was living in his neighborhood. And in
this way, he used to live his life there.
One day the wife of the grocer told her “ If she will not
live in the neighborhood, then your condition will be very
bad.” This saying was not liked by Qutub Sahib’s
wife.His wife decided not to take credit, and one day this
event was known to Qutub Sahib. He told his wife she did
not take a loan from anybody. Upon need, put your hand
 25

in the window of the room and take away cooked bread as

per need, and use it yourself and give it to others in this
matter. After this, he used to take away bread as per his
needs. And those breads are called Kaki.
The second reason for calling Kaki is that one day Amir
Khusro asked Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya why Khaja
Qutb is called Kaki.? And Sultan of the learned persons
said, “One day he was present at the Shamsi water reserve
in Delhi along with his friends, and there was movement
of cold wind there at that time, and at that time friends
have told me, “It was good if there would be hot bread
there. Upon hearing this Qutub, Sahib went inside the
water, and from there he began giving hot bread to the
friends. And so from that day on he became famous and
well known as Kaki.
Start of his life: He was brought up in the shadow of the
protection of his parentsand his father and mother were
both proud of him. They used to think blessing the house
was due to the milk-feeding boy.
First shock of life: Still his age was one and a half years
old, then his father left this mortal world.
Brought up: There was all the burden to brought up by
Qutub Sahib on his mother, and she thought about his
education and training as her holy duty, and his beginning
part of the education was done by her mother.
 26

Recitation of Bis Milla in the year 1177 A.D./573 Hijri

When Qutub Sahib was 4 years, 4 months, and 4 days old
then his mother began worrying about his ceremony of
recitation of Bis Milla. By chance in those days Hazrat
Khaja Moinuddin was staying in Owesh. He came there
by his tour and traveled to Owesh. There was fame for his
holiness all over Owesh City. The mother of Qutub Sahib
thought the stay of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti in
Owesh was a good for prediction for his son. She has
decided to recite his son’s Bis Milla ceremony by the holy
saint of time Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti. And she has
sent Qutub Sahib in the presence blessing of Khaja Sahib
for the recitation of Bis Milla ceremony.
Gharib Nawaz wanted to write on the slate of Qutub
Sahib, then he was heard an invisible call in which it was
told “Oh Khaja now stop writing as Qazi Hameed Uddin
Nagori is coming there. By this time, Qazi Hameed
Uddin Nagori came there and he was asked what to write
on the slate. And Qutub Sahib told him to write “Subhan
lazi assara biebadihi lilan min masjid haram.” Qazi Sahib
was surprised to hear this and he has asked this verse in
the 15th part of the Quran. When you have read the
Quran.Qutub Sahib replied “My mother has memorized
15 parts of the Quran. Which I have memorized due to the
education of Allah in the stomach of my mother.” Upon
hearing Qazi Sahib write from "Subhan lazi assara
 27

biebadihi lilan min masjid haram” till the end of this

verse. He has memorized the Quran to Qutub Sahib
within four days.
Admission to the school: When Qutub Sahib was five
years old then his mother wanted to admit him to the
school. This is an occasion of happiness. On this occasion
his mother arranged a party. And sent Qutub Sahib to the
school of the locality with some sweets and some money
and sent through by the servant. On the way one holy
person met Qutub Sahib. And the holy person has asked
the servant “Where are you taking this lucky by eternity?"
And he told him he was taking him for admission at the
school in the locality. The holy person told him and by
pressing to take him to Aba Hafaz, as he is perfect. And
the education of this boy has connection with him in this
matter.
As per the advice of the holy person Qutub Sahib went in
the presence of Aba Hafaz instead of the local school
teacher. When he was reached there then he told Aba
Hafaz “To give proper education to this boy. And from
him there are required many works to be done.”
Upon handing over the Qutub Sahib to Aba Hafaz that
holy person left from there. Upon going of the holy
person from there Aba Hafaz asked the servant “Whether
you know who was this holy person.?” And he told him
 28

“I do not know about him.” And Aba Hafaz told him “He
was Khaja Khizer.”
Search of the reality: Hazrat Qutub Sahib in search of
reality left his country. And he was reached in one city.
He was staying in that city. There was one mosque out of
the city. And there was one higher minaret in the court
yard of the mosque.
Hazrat Qutub was known to pray by performing two
rakats in the previous night and by climbing on the
minaret and that person can meet Khaja Khizer. Qutub
Sahib thought this was a good chance for him, and he
performed two rakats of prayer and recited prayers on the
minaret and got down from the minaret, and he began
waiting for Khaja Khizer there. There was no one in the
mosque. And he came out of the mosque. He has seen one
holy person. That person asked Qutub Sahib what you are
doing here in the desert.?
Hazrat Qutub told him about his penetrating prayer to
meet Khaja Khizer there. Upon hearing this, the holy
person has asked, Do you want the world.? And Khaja
Qutub told “No,” then the holy person told them they
were in debit of any person. Hazrat told “No,” then that
holy person, by pressing in this matter, has asked him
why he wants to meet Khaja Khizer.? "Why are you
searching him? He is also engage in wandering
endeavors like your example.” So in this city, there is one
 29

holy person who is engaged in the worship of Allah. He

has desired to meet him (Khaja Khizer) seven times, but
his wish was not fulfilled in this matter.
There was conversation there, and at that time one more
holy person came there from out of the mosque. And he
stood near the first holy person, and he caught the hand of
Hazrat Qutub, and he told the first holy person, “He did
not want the world, or he is not in debt to any person. And
he is only desire of meeting with you.”
When Qutub was hearing this, then he was very happy in
this matter and he was able to learn that the first holy
person is an invisible person, and another person is Khaja
Khizer. And by this time he has seen that both of the holy
persons were vanished from there.
Pledge in the year 1186/582 Hijri : Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki
wanted to become a disciple, and at that time there was
one Mahmood Asfahani who was the complete Darwesh
person of his time. And Qutub Sahib has deep relations
and devotion with him. And he wants to pledge at his
hands. But it will happen such thing, which is desired by
Allah in this matter. And in those days, Khaja Moinuddin
Chist reached Asfahan for a tour and travel. When Khaja
Qutub was able to know, there was a desire for him to
meet. And he went in the presence of his blessing. At that
time, Khaja Ajmari was wearing Do Tai on, which he was
given to Khaja Qutub. The meaning of giving of Do Tai is
 30

that Khaja Ajmari has accepted the pledge of Khaja

Qutub. Khaja Qutub did not tolerate separation from
Khaja Ajmari, so he began living in the company of
Khaja Ajmari. And also began living with him during his
tour and traveling.
Journey with spiritual mastar: Khaja Ajmari packed his
traveling bag, and he has reached Makkah to visit Kaaba
from Asfahan, and Qutub Shahib was with him. About
this journey, Khaja Qutub said that “When this well-
wisher who was with Khaja Moinuddin Chisti with his
journey to Makkah. One day in our journey, after our
morning prayer, we have reached one city. And where we
have met one holy person there. And who was in
condition in etekaf (retirement, seclusion (for devotion, in
a place of worship, especially at Mecca), to seclude
oneself in the masjid with the express intention (niyyah)
of I'tikaf, for the remembrance of Allah during Ramazan).
In one cave like dry wood by opening his eyes in the air,
and he was standing and found in the condition of
surprise. And we were with him for a period of one
month. In that period, he came in condition of
consciouness, and then we stood and said salam to him.
He replied, and he said, “Oh dears, there will be sadness
for you from this condition. But due to your sadness, there
will be salvation for you in retribution. Because people of
holy persons say that one who serves darwesh persons
will be well known. In short, he asked us to sit down.
 31

Then we have sat down there. Then he said, “I am the son

of Shah Aslam Toi. And since 30 years, I am in a
condition of surprise. I do not have news of day or night
in this matter. For your sake, Allah brought me in
condition of conscious. There will be difficulty for you to
come here again. When you have put your step in the way
of mysticism, then due to human desires, do not pay
attention toward the world. And have retirement from
mankind. And whatever you get to spend the same. And
do not keep any amount from it as storing is not good.
And except Allah, do not engage so that you do not
become in an unwell condition. That person, upon giving
his advice, went back in his condition of surprise.

Qutub reached Makkah in 583 Hijri along with Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti and was blessed with the visit of
Kaaba.

Caliphate: The details of becoming a disciple and
caliphate of Hazrat Qutub are as follows.
Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti has seen the prophet and
the souls of the other holy persons in his dream
 32

continuously for a period of 40 days. He was seen by him

he was saying as follows.
“Oh,Moinuddin, Qutub is a friend of Allah. And give
him caliphate and wear him Qirqa (saintly dress).” One
day Khaja Moinuddin said to night I have seen Allah in
my dream and there was given order, “Oh Moinuddin,
give Qirqa and caliphate of darwesh persons to
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki because he is our friend as
well as friend of Mohammed (peace upon him) and we
have made him a holy person. And has entered his name
in the names of our friends.” So Khaja Mounuddin Chisti
was taken pledge from Qutub Sahib and given him the
dress of the saintliness in the mosque of Abul Lais
Samarqandi. On this occasion,Shaikh Shabuddin
Suharwardi, Shaik Dawood Kirmani, and Shaikh

Coming of Baba Farid Ganj Shaker in the presence of
Qutub Sahib
 34

After staying some days in Ajmare, Khaja Sahib left

Ajmar and went to Ghazni. With him there were his
devotees and disciples.There was a long time passed to
visit his mother, so Qutub Sahib went to Awesh to see his
mother there. When Khaja Moinddun came back to
Ajmare, at that time Qutub Sahib was coming back to
India. And he arrived in Multan in 1194/590 Hijri.
In those days, Multan was the center of learning and arts
and at this place, well-known holy persons and scholars
used to live there. The people used to come here from
long-distance places for learning of the knowledge. Baba
Farid Ganj Shaker was also there in search of the
knowledge. And he was staying in the mosque of
‘Minhajuddin Tirmazi’ in Multan.
This is an event of one day that Baba Ganj Shaker was
sitting in the direction of Qibla and he was reading one
book. And that book’s name is ‘Nafe’. When Qutub Sahib
was visiting Multan, then he went inside of that mosque,
in which Baba Farid was reading the book. And when he
was seen Qutub Sahib, he became restless. When his look
fell on the face of Qutub Sahib, and due to the effect of
one's passion, he stood. And he has saluted and paid
respect to him. And Baba Sahib sat at one side in a
respectful way.
Qutub Sahib Sahib performed two rakat prayers of
(prayers with two genuflexions supereogatory prayers )
 35

in the mosque. Qutub Sahib asked him, "What are you

reading?” And Baba replied respectfully, book ‘Nafa’.”
Upon hearing this reply, Qutub Shahib told him by tongue
of favor, “Do you know there will be benefit from this
book?” And Baba Sahib told him in helpless condition,
“There will be felicity for him by kissing his feet in this
matter.” and by saying this, he has stood in much passion
and put his head on the feet of the Qutub Sahib.
The look of the chemical action of Qutub Sahib , which
was already effected. So now it was difficult for Hazrat
Baba Sahib to leave from the company of Qutub Sahib.
Always he began living in his company. And there was
much devotion of the Baba Sahib to the Qutub Sahib.
Qutub Sahib, after living some days in Multan, left for
Delhi. But Baba Sahib wants to go to Delhi along with
Qutub Sahib. But Qutub Sahib insinuated for completion
of his education. Baba Sahib was accompanied by Qutub
Sahib up to his third destination, and from there he was
come back to Multan. And from Multan, he went to Balqh
and Bukhara. He was in restless condition to meet Qutub
Sahib. And upon reaching Delhi, he met with Qutub
Sahib.
Pledge of Baba Farid in the year 590 Hijri : Hazrat
Baba Sahib was pledged at the hands of reality of Qutub
Sahib in the first meeting. Hazrat Nizmuddin has
 36

informed Baba Farid’s age at 15 years at the time of the

pledge.
Stay of Baba Sahib in Delhi: Baba Sahib stayed some
days in Delhi. Upon receiving the order of his spiritual
order, he went to Khandhar. And for obtaining knowledge
of manifest, he has done much endeavors there. From
there, upon obtaining knowledge of the manifest, he went
to Iraq, Khurasan, and Mavar Al- Nahar, and by visiting
Makkah and Madina and visiting holy persons, and by
getting spiritual favors from them, he came back in the
presence of the blessing of his spiritual master.
Hazrat Qutub Sahib was happy upon the arrival of Baba
Farid Ganj Shaker in Delhi. Baba Sahib began living in
one room near Ghazni Gate in Delhi. He was engaged in
worship, endeavors, and mystical exercises as per the
order of the spiritual master. And in those days, Baba
Sahib has done hard mystical exercises and Baba Sahib
did not used to present in service of Hazrat Qutub on a
daily basis, but he used to visit him after a gap of two
weeks. And will be blessed by the magnificent grace of
his spiritual master.
Hazrat Baba Farid still uses to engage in mystical
exercises and endeavors. And during this period, Hazrat
Moinuddin Chisti came over to Delhi. And he stayed in
the shrine building of Hazrat Qutub in Delhi. The stay of
Khaja Gharib Nawaz in Delhi was a blessing to the people
 37

of Delhi. And now spring of spiritual favor, which was

near to them. And there was a raining of knowledge. And
there was distribution of all kinds of wealth there. And
everybody was desiring to fill the edge of the shirt of his
desires. And there was the luck and fate of everybody, as
well as according to his edge of the shirt in this matter.
For such time in the share of Qutub Sahib, there was such
grace and wealth for which he can be proud, which will
be less for him.
Hazrat Qutub Sahib has presented all his disciples in the
presence of Khaja Moinuddin. Each and everybody who
was blessed by favor of Khaja Moinuddin as per his
eligibility and capacity in this matter.
When Khaja Mounuddin has distributed his wealth of
knowledge as per his will and wish, then he himself asked
with Qutub Sahib, “Is any disciple left for getting favor
from his side?”
Qutub Shahib said, “Masood left as he is sitting in
Chilla, also known as Chilla-nashini, is a spiritual practice
of penance and solitude in Sufism known mostly in Indian
and Persian traditions.
Chilla (retreat) : Upon hearing this, Khaja Gharib stood,
and he told Qutub Sahib, “Come on, let us see him.”
Hazrat Gharib Nawaz and Qutub Sahib went there where
Baba Farid was sitting in Chilla. And upon reaching there,
 38

he was opened to the door of the room where Baba Sahib

was sitting. He had become so weak that he could not
stand to give respect to Hazrat Gharib Nawaz. And with
tears in his eyes, he has put his head on the earth.
Upon seeing this condition, Hazrat Gharib Nawaz said,
“Oh Qutub, till how long you will suffer him in the
endeavors come on so that we can give him something.”
Upon saying this Hazrat Gharib Nawaz caught his right
hand and Qutub Sahib caught his left hand. And in this
way both of the holy persons have stood him.Khaja
Gharib Nawaz looked at the sky and prayed in the court
of Allah for Baba Farid. Khaja Gharib said, “Oh, Allah,
accept our Farid. And reach to the perfect status.”
There was an invisible call: “We have accepted Farid, and
he will be ahead of his time.” Then he was advised Qutub
Sahib and given advice to instruct him for Isam-e- Azam (
Al-Ism al-Aʿẓam (Arabic: ‫) ألعظم االسم‬literally "the
Greatest Name", also known as Ism Allah al-Akbar refers
in Islam to the greatest name of Allah, which is coming in
Chistia by chest by chest.
For this great name, Baba Farid was a holy person, and
upon his revelation of knowledge, all curtains of veils
were removed, and Khaja Gharib Nawaz was awarded
Baba Farid robe of honour.
 39

Baba Farid was given caliphate; Hazrat Gharib Nawaz

was given him a turban, shawl, and other items of the
caliphate.
Prediction about Baba Farid: On this occasion, Hazrat
Gharib Nawaz has made a prediction, and he was
addressed to Hazrat Qutub Sahib: “Oh Qutub, you have
trapped one big falcon and brought under your control,
and his destination will be Sidratul-Muntaha (Sidratul-
Muntaha is an Islamic term that translates to "Lote Tree of
the Farthest Boundary." It refers to a large lote tree that
marks the limit of the seventh heaven, where the
knowledge of the angels ends. The word "sidrah" literally
means "lote tree" and "muntaha" means "the place of
end".”

Shabuddin Omer Suharwardi and Shaikh Ouhd Kirmani.
And he also met there other great holy persons.
In Baghdad, he was able to know by Shaikh Jalaluddin

Khurasan, and now he is staying in Delhi.
Arrival in Multan in 1214/611 Hijri: When Qutub
Sahib was able to know this information, so for the
fondness of meeting his spiritual master, he went to India,
and with him there was Shaikh Jalaluddin Tabrazi. He

of Multan Mirza Qabacha Baig. He said, “This position

Chisti, he will not stay at any place in this matter.
 41

this matter as Multan was under the jurisdiction of Shaikh
Bahauddin Zikeria Multani.
Hazrat, when left from Multan, some persons accompany
him in his journey. Hazrat Qutub accepted their pledge
out of the limit of Multan in the place of Hansi.

Qazi Hameed Uddin Nagori was seen in a dream at that
time that the shining sun arrived in Delhi, which
enlightened the whole kingdom of Delhi. And which in

And when there was knowledge of this dream, it was
known that the sun is the perfect holy person who will
come in Delhi. And he will reside in the house of Qazi
Sahib.
Arrival in Delhi: Hazrat Qutub Sahib. Upon arriving in
Delhi, he began living in the Kilo Kadi area. And his
place of residence was at a long distance. And to people
 42

and even to the king, there will be a long time to travel

there.
The king’s request: King Shamsuddin has requested
Khaja Qutub; if he will be in Maharvali area than
Kilokadi, then he himself and for other people will be
safe from trouble of long distance travel. And there will
be no disturbance of the works of the kingdom. And there
will be much comfort to the people in this matter.
Qutub Sahib, due to favor and kindness, has accepted the
request of the king Altamash. And he came to Maharvali
from Kilokadi; first he lived in the baker’s house. And
that baker has much devotion to Qutub Sahib.
Then afterward, Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori has taken him
to his house. And some days he was living in his house.
Then he began living near the mosque of Azuddin.
Second request: Shaikh Jamaluddin Bustami, who was
working on a higher post of Sheikh (venerable) of Islam
in Delhi, and upon his death, there was the desire of King
Altamash that Qutub Sahib accept this post.When King of
Delhi, Altamsh, has requested with Hazrat Qutub Sahib,
he has refused to accept this post. At last, Sultan
Altamash has appointed Shaikh Najam Uddin Suqra as
Shaikh of Islam in Delhi.
His request: Hazrat Qutub has much fondness to kiss the
feet of his spiritual master. And he has sent one request in
 43

the presence of his spiritual master in Ajmare. And in his

request, he has mentioned his fondness to kiss his feet.
and request to give him permission to travel to Ajmare.
Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin replied to him, “Even though
there is farness in the manifest way, in the way of the
spiritual system, you are near. So live there.”
Arrival of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti in Delhi 611
Hijri/1214
Hazrat Gharib Nawaz, who prohibited Hazrat Qutub
Sahib to come to Ajmare. And he personally went to
Delhi. He stayed in the shrine building of Hazrat Qutub
Sahib. And was blessed with honor, and he stayed in
Delhi for some days, and upon the distribution of wealth
of knowledge in Delhi, Khaja Gharib Nawaz went back to
Ajmare.
His arrival to Delhi second time in 621 Hijri/1224
This time Khaja Gharib Nawaz came to Delhi without
informing Hazrat Qutub Sahib. And so, for this
reason, he was much surprised in this matter.
This time he came to Delhi for the recognition of the
farmer and to write off the land revenue of Mandan
village for his son Fakheruddin.
When Qutub Sahib was aware of this, he went in the
presence of King Altamash, and he was done settling
 44

the case of farmar in the farmer’s favor. He obtained

an order of write-off of the land revenue of the village
Mandan in favor of his son Khaja Fakheruddin.
Enmity: Shaikh Najam Uddin Suqra was a Shaikh of
Islam in Delhi. And he has had good relations with
Khaja Gharib Nawaz for a long time. He was met with
him in Khursan. In Delhi, all people came to meet with
Khaja Gharib Nawaz, but Najmuddin Sugra did not
come to meet with him. Khaja Gharib Nawaz was
surprised in this matter. So he went to meet him at his
house.
At that time he was watching making of the soofa for
him. He has not paid attention toward Khaja Gharib
Nawaz. Due to the treatment of the ignorence, there
was shock to Khaja Gharib Nawaz.
He was told to Najamuddin Sugra “Oh Najamuddin,
what came difficulty upon you so in the pride of the
post of the Shaikh of Islam you have left the humanity
and old relations and contacts as well as old elegence
suddenly left.
Upon hearing this, he regretted much in this matter
and he has put his head upon the feet of the Khaja
Sahib. And he was told him that he was sincere as
before, he is now in the same position with him.
 45

But Qubuddin spoiled my position very much in this

matter. When he came here, becoming your disciple
since that time. All mankind is following him. I have
become a Shaikh of Islam in Delhi in name only.
Nobody is following me. In this matter, there is a
complaint with Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti that
“He has left his disciple here. All mankind of Dehli is
living at his door. And nobody did not remember him
like Green Leaf in this matter, and nobody followed
me.”
Departure to Ajmare: Upon hearing this, Khaja
Moinuddin smiled, and he told Najam Uddin Sugra,
“You don't worry in this matter. The heavy weight
upon your heart and to him he is taking with him to
Ajmare.”
At the time of departure to Ajmare, Khaja Moinuddin
told Hazrat Qutub “Baba Qutub, you also accompany
with me to the Ajmare journey as some persons are
angry with you.”
Khaja Moinuddin Chisti at the time of his departure to
Ajmare took Hazrat Qutub with him, and Qutub was left
Delhi in the company of his spiritual master.
And this news spread in the whole city of Delhi. So for
this reason, all people followed him in his journey. As
Qutub Sahib was so much popular in Delhi that nobody
 46

did not like his separation in this matter. When this news
was reached to Sultan Altamash, then he went in the
presence of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti, and he told him,
“Sir, do not take Hazrat Qutub from Delhi to Ajmare and
allow him to live here. Hazrat Khaja Sahib did not like to
hurt the hearts of the people. When he has seen that due to
the departure of Hazrat Qutub, people of Delhi are sad,
then he told Qutub Sahib, "Baba Qutub, you live here. For
your going people of the city are in uneasiness. I do not
want to hurt the hearts by the fire of separatism of a large
number of the people and make them Kabab in this
matter. I have left this city in your support.”
As per the order of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti Hazrat
Qutub Uddin, he came back and began living in Delhi.
Fondness of kissing his feet: After living some days in
Delhi, Hazrat Qutub became restless to kissing the feet of
his spiritual master. He has sent his request in his
presence to visit him in Ajmare. And he has received a
reply from his spiritual master in this matter in which he
has mentioned that there was my intention to call you
here, but during this time there was received your letter,
and you should have to come here as soon as possible,
and this our meeting will be our last meeting in the
world.”
In the presence of the spiritual master, Qutub Sahib,
upon receiving this reply and went toward Ajmare. And
 47

upon reaching Ajmare, he was blessed with a meeting of

his spiritual master. And he began living of blessed
presence. The details of the last meeting are written by
Khaja Qutub as follows.
“Upon saying this, Khaja Moinuddin Chisti began
weeping. Khaja Sahib said, “Oh, Darwesh, the reason for
which I was sent to this land is that there will be found his
grave at this place and in a few days we will travel.”
Handing over of relics: In this meeting, Hazrat Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti began issuing orders, which Hazrat
Qutub began writing as follows.
Shaikh Ali Sanjri was present there. He was given an
order to him to write the orders. There should be given to
our Qutub Shaikh Bakhtiar Kaki that he should go to
Delhi. We have given him caliphate. And we suggest he
stay in Delhi. And when the order was written, it was
given to this well wisher. I have paid the respect. There
was an order to come near me. And I went near to him.
He has put a turban and cap on my head by his holy
hands. There was given staff and saintly dress of Khaja
Haruni to me. Also given the Quran and prayer carpet. He
said this holy entrusted things of the holy prophet of
Allah. And which was reached to us through shaikhs of
the Chistia chain. I am giving you. It is a must for you
that, as we have kept all these things, you must also take
care in this matter. So that there should be no regret to me
 48

on the day of the judgment in this matter. Hazrat Qutub

mentioned that after this well wisher again paid respect
and performed two rakat prayers of thanks.
He said to go and I have given you status of respect and
saintliness.
Advice of spiritual master :The spiritual master of
Qutub Sahib, Khaja Gharib Nawaz adviced him and in
which there are four things are very good among them.
And upon acting them then there will be good and
blessing. The four things are as follows.
1.There should be such darweshi from which there should
be shown richness.
2.To fill stomach of hungry persons.
3.To be pretend happiness in case of sadness.
4.If any person have behavior of enmity then in its reply,
show his friendship.
Pray of the spiritual master: This is the event of the last
meeting. Khaja Gharib Nawaz told Qutub Sahib to come,
and Qutub Sahib went forward and kissed his feet. And
Khaja sahib, upon recitation of Fataha of blessing and he
told, “Don't become sad and become a brave person”
Retrun from Ajmare:Qutub Sahib by saying good bye to
his spiritual master and come back to Delhi. And he lived
in Delhi. And spent his remaining life in Delhi.
 49

Great shock: 20 days upon departure of Qutub Sahib

from Ajmare Khaja Gharib, Nawaz left this mortal world.
His dream: When he received news of the death of
Khawaja Gharib Nawaz, he slept on the prayer mat after
prayer in sadness and grief. He was seen his spiritual
master in his dream. And he kissed the feet of his spiritual
and asked him details. And he said, “Allah has given him
blessed with special grace. Near the place of the angels
and residents of the sky there was allotted his place and I
am at this place.”
Wives and sons: His first marriage was done in his native
place Awash. His mother was done marrying him with
one woman, and after three days, Khaja Qutub divorced
her. And due to this marriage, there was disturbance of his
daily recitals. And he did not like this matter.
There was daily recitation of the blessing on the prophet
of Khaja Qutub Sahib that before his sleep he used to
recite blessing upon the holy prophet 3,000 times. And
after marriage, he could not recite blessings for three
days.
On the third day, his one disciple, Rais Ahmed, who has
seen in a dream that there is a grand palace and there are
many of the people, and one person whose face is visible
light, is coming and going inside the palace by taking
 50

messages of the persons inside and coming back from the

replies from inside.
Rais Ahmed, upon hearing this, went to Abdulla bin
Masood. And requested him to pass his message to the
prophet that he is fondness to look the sight of him.
Abdulla Masood took the message and went in to the
palace. And brought the message from inside that still that
person is not having eligibility and suitability of his look
in this matter. Convery my salam to Qutubuddin Oushi.
And tell from his side that there will be sent by him his
gift every night to me, but what is the reason in this
matter why he has not sent it to him since three nights?”
When Rais Ahmed was woken up, he was eager to pass
the message of the prophet. He went in the presence of
Khaja Qutubuddin and explained to him his dream. When
he heard the message of the prophet, then he stood, and he
asked Rais Ahmad what he had told.? Rais Ahmed told
him, “The gift that you used to send to me, why are you
not sending it since three nights?”
Hazrat Qutub Sahib understands well what the meaning of
gift is in this matter. Due to his marriage, the sending of
the blessing recital was stopped for 3 nights in this matter.
Khaja Sahib, with which he has married the woman called
her, was given her mahar (In Islam, mahr is a mandatory
payment or gift that the groom makes to the bride as part
 51

of the marriage contract. It's a sign of respect for the bride

and recognition of her independence. The bride receives
the mahr as a right, and can spend it as she wishes)
amount, and was given divorce to that woman. Then he
was engaged in his recital, and after that, he did not marry
again for a long period of time.
Second marriage: He was married a second time upon
his residing in Delhi. And this marriage he was done in
the last part of his life. There were born two boys to
him.1.Ahmed 2.Shaikh Mohammed. And he died when he
was seven years old. Upon his death, when there was a
weeping sound from his wife, he asked Shaikh
Baderuddin why there was a weeping sound coming from
our house.? And he told him that his son Shaikh
Mohammed left this world. And his mother is weeping.”
Upon hearing this Qutub, Sahib said that he “Regrets that
there was no news to him. If he would know in this
matter, then he will ask the life of Shaikh Mohammed
from Allah.”
Upon consoling his wife, he was engaged in the revelation
again in this matter. His race continued with his elder son
Khaja Ahmed, and he was well known as Ahmed
Tamachi. And he was a great holy person.
Burial place: Before death, on the occasion of Eid, while
returning from there, he went to one uninhabited and
 52

deserted place, and this is the place where his tomb is

situated in Delhi. At that place he was engaged in
thinking for some time, so the companions who were with
him have asked him, “Hazar, what are you thinking in this
matter.? And he said, “From this land I can smell the
hearts of the people. Present owner of the land.” The
landowner came there, and he purchased the land from his
special personal purse. He considered this land for his
grave and pure tomb in this matter.
Excellance of burial place: The land where there is a
grave of Khutub Sahib is found has special excellence in
this matter. Once the throne of Prophet Sulaiman was
reached there by flying, where there is the grave of
Khutub Sahib. He was surprised to see that there is light
from earth to the sky. And angels were brining trays of
lights from the sky and putting on the earth.Hazrat
Sulaiman has asked for this beautiful place and of house
that belong to whomever the holy person's residence or
burial place is?. The angels told him, "This place of
residence and burial belongs to Allah’s beloved person of
Allah, Hazrat Khaja Qutubuddin, among the nation of the
last prophet of Allah, Mohammed, peace be upon him and
he will be taking his final resting place in this matter.
Last days: One day there was a meeting of ecstasy in the
shrine building of Shaikh Ali Sanjari. The holy persons of
condition and perfect were present in the meeting
 53

place.Hazrat Qutub was also present in the meeting place.

The choristers were singing the following couplet.

Where can you see the love of your sight?

Where did you get rid of the package?
There was prevailed rapture upon Qutub Sahib. And the
choristers were repeated singing this couplet for some
time. And after that, the choristers began singing the ode
of Ahmed Jam. when Slahuddin and his sons Karim
Uddin and Nasir Uddin began when recited following
couplet.
Kill the surrender dagger.
Any time is absent from another life.

So for this reason, it prevailed upon Hazrat Khutub Sahib

as such rapture that he became unconscious. Qazi
Hameed Uddin Nagori and Shaikh Baderuddin Ghazni,
who have asked poets to repeat in such condition the
couplets at that place. So then there will be prevailed
ondition of rapture upon Qutub Sahib in this matter. For a
period of four days, such conditions prevailed upon him.
Hazrat used to become unconscious, and he will become
normal at the time of prayer, and he will perform the
prayer, and then there will be a prevail condition of
rapure upon him.
 54

On the third day constanly began coming from his mouth

the recitation by the name personality of Allah in this
matter. And constantly began falling of the drops of blood
on the earth, and from that blood there will be formed
painting of Allah. And from that lovely decoration there
will be heard sound of Allah. And on the next day, there
will be a constant heard sound of ‘Subhan Allah’ from
his mouth. And drop blood, which will be formed on the
earh of decoration of ‘Subhan Allah’.
The singing of the choristers were continued when they
sang the first couplet, then Khaja Sahib’s soul would
disappear from his body. And when they sing the other
couplet, then his soul will come back in his body when
Hazrat wants to cry of pain or wants to make a slogan.
Then Qazi Hameeduddin Nagore will close his mouth.
And used to say to him “Whether you want to burn the
whole world in this matter.” His mouth was closed in this
matter, but his body was burned down. Upon seeing his
pulse beating, Hakeem Shamsuddin said, “This is a case
of illness of love. The fire of love, which burned down the
heart and liver of him completely. And now there is no
way to cure him.”
Upon him on the 10th Rabbil awwal, there was prevailed
such condition. And for four days and nights there was
such contempt upon him. In the fith night when the
repeatation of first couplet, then at that time Hazrat Qutub
 55

Sahib on 14th Rabbil Awwal in the year 632 Hijri,

corresponding to 27 November in the year 1225 A.D. left

(It is a common Arabic expression, used in various
contexts by Muslims and Arabs around the world: in
formal Salah (prayer), in the Adhan (Islamic call to

Funeral prayer: When people were able to know the
final advice, they were surprised in this matter. Who is
that lucky person?. And who will lead Khaja Sahib’s

time. And at last King Altamash came forward, and he
said, “I do not like this is known to anybody, but there is
required a final wish of the Hazrat Quutb Sahib.

Hansi. Hazrat Qutub has much love and affection for
Baba Farid. There came tears in his eyes, and he said, “Oh
Farid, but you go.” Hazrat Baba Farid told him, "He will
do as per his order.” Hazrat Qutub told him: "Go what I
can do in this matter. There is willinigness of nature in
this matter that you will not find at the time of my death. I
was also not present at the time of the death of Khaja

and told the audience, “Come on, we all together pray for
this darwesh’s progress of grace of both worlds and

Hameeduddin Nagori and Baderuddin Ghaznavi.
Dream: In the night when Hazrat Qutub left this mortal
world, and in that night, Baba Faird has seen a dream that
Hazrat Qutub is calling him.
This dream was an engouh sign for him, and he was able
to understand that Qutub Sahib left the mortal world. He
was in great difficulty and in worry condition and in
surprise, Hazrat Nizmuddin left from Hansi to Delhi. And
there was running a river of tears from his eyes.On the
other side, Qazi Hameed Uddin Nagori has sent

jungle."
Pure biography: Hazrat Qutub Uddin Bakhtiar Kaki. He
is deputy of the prophet of Allah in India. He is the
successor and first caliph of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti and Qutub
(Qutb, Qutub, Kutb, Kutub or Kotb (Arabic: ‫ )قطب‬means
'axis', 'pivot' or 'pole'. Qutb can refer to celestial
movements and be used as an astronomical term or a
spiritual symbol. In Sufism, a Qutb is the perfect human
being, al-Insān al-Kāmil ('The Universal Man'), who
leads the saintly hierarchy. The Qutb is the Sufi spiritual
leader who has a divine connection with God and passes
knowledge on which makes him central to, or the axis of,
Sufism, but he is unknown to the world. There are five
Qutbs per era, and they are infallible and trusted spiritual
leaders. They are only revealed to a select group of
mystics because there is a "human need for direct
knowledge of God".) of shaikhs. Hazrat Shaikh Abdul
Haq Muhadit Dehlavi was written about him as follows.
“He is among the great holy persons of Allah. As well as
glorious Sufi personalties.” There is no doubt and
suspicsion about his greatness and eliteness. As well as
there is no difference in this matter.”
 61

“All shaikhs of his time who were his devotees and who
were among his circle of devotion. And all were people
of dignity and holders of great status and ranks. His
prayers will be accepted by Allah. Whatever he will say
by him, which will happen like that in this matter. The
person who will live in his company will then become a
personality of saintliness. When he will look at any
person, then that person can observe things from
empyrean to neither region.
Worship: He will find much fondness in the worship. He
was a Quran-conner, and Hazrat Qutub used to finish one
Quran on a daily basis. He used to engage in the worship
by hiding from the people.He will always be punctual and
altert for the five daily congratual prayers. And in
addition to this, Hazrat Qutub used to perform 300 Nafil
(What are Nafl Prayers? Nafl prayers or not obligatory
prayers, as the nafl means extra, which is not obligatory
but voluntary or optional. If you pray the nafl Namaz, you
will get extra reward from Allah, but if you don't pray,
that doesn't mean you are sinful because it's optional.)
rakats of prayers daily. At the time of sleeping, Hazrat
used to recite a 3,000-time blessing on the prophet.
Loneliness: Hazrat Qutub used to like loneliness and
isolation. His has the habit of less eating, less sleeping,
and less talking, and he was connected with the creator
and kept away from mankind.
 62

Hazrat Gesu Daraz has written about him that “He used to
find always silence, and Hazrat used to pass much of his
time weeping and wailing. And he used to live alone in
the room by closing the door. And live away from the
people.
Shaikh Noor Baksh has written about him that “Hazrat
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki was among mystic initiates,
and asectics and Mujahid. (Original meaning: In Arabic,
the word "mujahideen" means "strivers" seeking godly
rule or right conduct. Jihads originally included "right
conduct," such as giving money to the poor.
And used to live in loneliness and alone life. He used to
eat less, sleep less, and talk less. He was used to
engrossed in the worship in the hidden way. He will try to
hide his condition and his works.”
Night awakening: In the beginning of life, he used to
sleep in the night for some time and take some rest for
some time, but in the last period of life, he has left night
sleep and rest. Hazrat used to keep awakening in the night
and engaged in recitation of the holy Quran and
remembrance of the Zikr Jali (Zikr recited aloud) and
Zikr Khafi ( Zikr Khafi, that which is performed either
with a low voice or mentally.).
Poverty and hunger: Qutub Shahib was proud of his
poverty and hunger. His life will be passed by severity
 63

and tightness. There will always be no food for his family

members, and his people who are attached to him will
usually be facing hunger. But they will not disclose that
there will be hunger in the house. In the conditions of
poverty and hunger, they will not leave the edge of the
shirts of patience and thankfulness. In the beginning of his
life, there was not a piece of cloth spread in his house for
serving dishes in, plates, and cups.
Refuse to accept presents: Hazrat did not accept
presents, and there is an event of one day that King
Altamesh has sent in his presence some rupees and gold
coins. And he has requested him to accept his present, but
Hazrat did not accept.
Following of the great spiritual masters: Qutub Sahib
used to think following of the great spiritual masters as
proud and slavation for him. And in this matter he used to
engage in severe endeavors. This is an event of time that
the minister of King Altamesh came in his presence and
gave him an order of allotment papers for six villages
and one tray full of gold coins, and the minister told him
that there is a desire of KingKing Altamesh that you
accept it. it. This is for your servants and sincere persons.
And at that time, Baba Farid was also present there.
Hazrat Qutub smailed and said, “My spiritual masters did
not accept such things. And I also did not accept. Today
if I will not follow them and accept villages and gold
 64

coins, then how will I face my spiritual masters at the day

of judgement? And how I will be entered in the category
of them.”
Engagement: Hazrat Qutub used to be engaged day and
night in engagement. At the time of prayer will open his
eyes and he will have taken a bath with fresh abulution
and performed the prayer. The condition of his
engrossment was such that when any person came to visit
him, he would used to wait in this matter. And upon
informing him, he will come back in normal condition.
The condition of his intoxication and ecstasy was such
that one time he was in such a condition of surprise for
seven days and nights. And he will become normal after
prayer.
Trust in Allah: Hazrat used to be kept away from
mankind. Baba Faird has said that “Hazrat Qutub’s trust
in Allah was real trust.” He lived in the turst of Allah for a
period of 20 years. And he did not keep relations with
anybody. The system of expenses of the kitchen was run
as such that when there will be a requirement, a servant
will come in his presence, and Hazrat will give him a sign
to take money as per his requirement. When there will be
a requirement of Sufi persons, then he will take money
under his prayer mat and give it to the servants. And for
daily expenses, all this money will be spent. No needy or
traveler did not go empty handed from his door.
 65

Keeping hidden his condition: Hazrat Qutub Sahib did

not used to know his condition from other persons.
Asetic, mystical exercise, worship, and endeavors, which
he used to hide. And used to advise this to his disciples.
One time Baba Faird asked his permission for Chilla
Kashi. Chilla (Persian: ‫چله‬, Arabic: ‫أربعين‬, both literally
"forty"), also known as Chilla-nashini, is a spiritual
practice of penance and solitude in Sufism known mostly
in Indian and Persian ritual, traditions. In this ritual,
a mendicant or ascetic attempts to remain seated in a
circle practicing meditation techniques without food for
40 days and nights in imitation of the Arba'een, and he
was not given his permission and told him, “There is no
need for it. Because by such matters there will be name
and fame. And for fakirs, name and fame are problems for
them and among our peers, they peers, they did not have
done such things.”
Fondness of the Sama meetings: Qutub Sahib has much
interest and fondness. And from Sama his nature will not
be satisfied. And in Sama there will be a prevailing
condition of ecstasy, then he will stand and begin dancing
in the courtyard. But at that time of prayer he will come
back in normal condition and he will perform prayer, and
then there will prevail the same condition upon him.
This is an event of one day that there was progress of the
Sama meeting and Hazrat Qutub Sahib was present in the
 66

meeting. When chorisstors were singing the one couplet

in the Persian language.
And upon hearing this couplet there was a prevailed
condition of rapture. And he was unconscious for a period
of seven days and at the time of prayer he will become in
a normal condition and used to perform the prayer.
His fondness of knowledge: Hazrat Qutubuddin Bakhtiar
Kaki was also a great author of his time as well as a poet.
Dalail Arifeen: And in this book he has recorded
Malfuazat ( The Malfuzat records the teachings of mystic
or Sufi saints and of the pirs and the sheikhs.) of his
spiritual master.
Zubadal Haqaiq: This bookbook is not published.
Risala:He has compiled this book named as Risala.
Mathnavi: There is one Mathnavi (a kind of poem
written in rhyming couplets, or more specifically a poem
based on independent, internally rhyming lines.) book
connection with him.
Diwan (poetry) A Diwan (Persian: ‫وان‬rr‫دی‬, divân, Arabic:
‫ديوان‬, dīwān) is a collection of poems by one author,
usually excluding his or her long poems (mathnawī).
There is one Diwan in Persian that is published. And in
this book it is mentioned as Qutub al-Deen or Qutub
 67

Deen. And in his poetry he has mentioned the truth,

MONOTHEISM, (TOWHID) and knowledge, reality and
Ma'rifa is a central tenet of Sufism that embodies the
notions of "gnosis" or "experiential knowledge. It is
considered the ultimate pinnacle of the spiritual path.
His teachings: In the teachings of Hazrat Qutub, there is
a solution to the problems of the present time. His
Malfuzat of blessings was collected by his first caliph and
disciple, Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya, who complied in the
book ‘Fawad Salikin’ from the meetings of his spiritual
master. And from following there will be known Hazrat’s
teachings, importance, and benefits in this matter.
The duty of the spiritual master: The spiritual master
has such power and checking authority with him that
when a disciple will present in his presence for becoming
his disciple, then by his first look to take out the filth of
the world from his chest for all reasons and clear it, there
will be no ill-will and clour of the likeness of the world.
And blessed him by his pledge. And bring toward Allah.
If there will be no power in the spiritual master, then
understand that both the spiritual master and disciples are
both in the deserts of ignorence in this matter.
Custodian of the shrine building: Hazrat Qutub Sahib
has mentioned a meeting of Hazrat Shibli with his
meeting of custodian of the shrine building and his
specificity in the following words in this matter.
 68

“Oh, Shibli, the person who sits on the seat of custodian,

then he should have power with him to hold the hand of
the other person, then he should have power with him,
and the person of power should make him custodian of
the shirne building in this matter to the person who holds
his hand.”
Perfection of the person: Hazrat Qutub Sahib has
written, “The persons of mysticism who have written that
the perfection of the person will depend on four things.
By less sleeping, less talking, less eating, and to have less
company with mankind. So he never gets gem of the
Darweshi. The group of Darwesh persons is such a group
that who made sleeping illegal for them. And company of
mankind is worse than snake.
Filth of the world: Hazrat Qutub told Baba Faird, "Oh,
Darwesh Prophet Jesus, who was perfect in Tajrid and
Tafrid are both Islamic concepts that relate to isolation
and seclusion. When he was taken to the sky, then there
was a call that he should be kept alone. As filth of the
world is still with him. Prophet Jesus was surprised in
this matter and he has seen saintly dress of the world.
And he has found in his saintly dress one needle and
wodden bowl. He has asked Allah “What he will do with
these things.” And there was revelation to throw them.
Then he was removed these things, and he was brought to
pass to the sky. Upon saying this event, he said “Oh,
 69

darwesh, when there will be such low and small things,

when there will arise objection to such a great prophet of
Allah, so there is regret to such a holy person who is
effected full in the world.”
Taslim and Reda (the fact of being pleased or contented;
contentment ). Hazrat Qutb said, “When upon the throat
of Hazrat prophet Yahiah has put a knife and began
cutting his neck, then he wants to cry with pain and
request in this matter. And at the time angel Gabriel came
there, he said, “He says if you cry or complain, then your
name will be removed from Jarida (Periodical) of the
prophets. Hazrat Yahiah upon hearing this order of Allah,
and he did not do anything, and with patience, he was
given his life.
Event of Hazrat Zakeria: Hazrat Qutub then he has told
event of Hazrat Zakeria that “When there was saw put
on holy head and then it began cutting him and he also
want to cry due to pain. Then at the time angel Gabriel
came there, he said, “Allah says if you cry or make
complain, then your name will be removed from Jaridi
(Periodcal) of the prophets. Upon hearing this order of
Allah, he did not do anything, and with patience, he was
given his life. And his body was cut into two pieces.
The method of Rabia Basri: Hazrat has said that “There
was a method with Rabia Basri that upon the day when
there will be a prevailed problem upon her, then she will
 70

become happy in this matter and she used to say that

friend has kept him remembering her in this matter. On
the day when there will be no prevail probem, then she
says in this matter and will be much sad and says what the
reason is that the friend did not remind her.”

The devotion of the disciples: The discussion about

devotion of the disciples was started, and Qutub Sahib
said, “In Baghdad, one Darwesh was arrested for some
crime and was presented before Qazi (the judge), who
investigated the matter and was given the order to kill
him. The prosecutor took him and, as per order, put him
standing in the direction of Qibla (the direction of Mecca,
to which Muslims turn in prayer, indicated in mosques by
a niche (mihrab) in the wall.) as per rules and wanted to
kill him. Darwesh turned his face from Qibla toward the
grave of his spiritual master. And the executor told him to
turn his face toward Qibla at the time of death. Darwesh
told him, “You do your work, and I must turn my face
toward my Qibla. Both were confused, and then there
came an order from the caliph of Baghdad that “We have
pardoned the mistake of the Darwesh, and it is
compulsory for him to be released.” Upon discussing this
event, Khaja Sahib said, “To see that due to his good of
devotion, Darwesh did not be killed in this matter.”
 71

Takbir: One day there was discussion about Tabkir (The

Takbir is the name of the Arabic phrase Allāhu ʾakbar,
which means "God is greater than everything". It is a key
part of the Islamic faith and is used in many ways,
including ) and why Darwesh used to say Takbir in lanes
and localities. Hazrat Qutub said that “It is not written
that to say Takbir in each and every lane and locality. And
this is not a pious method. But in the Hadith (sayings of
prophet), it is mentioned that by saying Takbir for thanks,
there will be an increase in grace. And afterward he said,
“The meaning of Kakbir is Hamad (praise of God), and
for thanks of grace we have to do Hamad.”
Special persons of Allah: He said there are special
persons of Allah, and when they will be at their place,
then order will be given by Allah to Kaaba to go to their
places so that they can circumulate there.”
Response of the food: This is an event of one day that
food was brought before Khaja Sahib there and still
meeting was not finished at all. He started eating food
there. By this time, Shaikh Nizmuddin Abu Moid had
come there and said to salam. But Hazrat did not pay
attention in this matter and did not reply to his salam.
When Hazrat has finished eating food, at that time Shaikh
Nizmuddin Abu Mohammad complained to him in this
matter and Hazrat Qutubuddin has replied that “I was
engaged in obedience and so how could I reply to you?
 72

As Darwesh used to eat for the power of worship, and

when there is such intention, then he is in worship. And
at the time there will be no reply. So it is compulsory that
when somebody is eating food, he should not be said
salam to him, and upon finishing eating, salam should be
said to him.”
Higher grade sayings: Some of the sayings of Hazarat
Qutub are presented as follows.
Arif (mystic person) is such a person on whose hearts
there will prevail strange thoughts at each and every
second and minute. And he should be engrossed in the
world of rapture.If in his chest there will be enter time
and space and the world and whatever it contains, then he
should not know about its entry.
Arif is such a person upon him there will be prevail on
each and every time many thousand of secrets, then he
will be live in such engrossment that if there will be
entrants and go out 18000 worlds enter in his chest, then
he does not know in this matter.
Mystic way: On the mystic way, Darweshi is another
thing. And keeping things is different. On the mystic way,
there is required great courage so that there will be
firmness of the secrets and they will not be known. As
secret is eminent of the friend.
 73

Sultan of the Mystic Way is such a person : Who is

drowning in the river of love of the friend from head to
toe. And there is no time upon him then there will be no
rain of love of the world be fall upon his head.
Salik (deovtee): For Salik, there is no greater veil for
him than the world.
Love: One who claims the love and complains at the time
of difficulty, then he is not true in his love. But he is false
and untrue.
Kamil (perfect): That person is perfect who does not leak
the secret of the friend.
Kamil Akmal (perefect): Who were such persons, and
from them there were no leaks of the secret of the friend
at any condition, and they were able to know other
secrets.
*Darwesh is such a person who, upon travel, will pass
many thousand countries by walking by his feet and he
will keeping his feet put forward.
*In Darwesh’s one pharase there will be fire and in
another there will be water.
*When Darwesh will be perfect, then whatever he gives
his order will happen.
 74

*Darwesh will not get a place of nearness until and unless

he will not be keep away from unknown from known
things and follow isolation and keep away from filth of
the world.
*The Darwesh who wears good dress to show the world is
not darwesh. But this is robbery on the way of mysticism.
*The darwesh who eats full of stomach for sinsual desire,
and he is not a darwesh.
*The Darwesh live un-married so for this there will be
progress of his status.
*The darwesh’s hunger is an option for himself.
*Allah has kept all his kingdom under the authority of
Darwesh.
*It is a must for Darwesh that he should live in the
condition of un-married state and pass every day from
country and make progress in this matter.
*Darweshi in not comfort, but it is living in the condition
of troubles of the world.
*In Darweshi, the most difficult work is to live in the
condition of fasting during the night so that he can get a
rise in the status, and there is no such other grace that is
superior to Darweshi.
 75

* There is required such power in the Peer of the Darwesh

that he should clear the darkness of the heart of the
disciple with his power of the innermost and reach him
toward Allah.
*The disciple should live in the same condition of
presence and in absence of the spiritual master. When a
spiritual master leaves the world, then there should be
more respect for his spiritual master.
*If he would not get the presence of his spiritual master
and there is a mistake in repentance, then put his dress
before him and pledge in this matter.
Sama (ecstasy meeting): There is no such comfort in the
Sama meeting that is not found in other things, and that is
such a condition, which is not found without a Sama
meeting.
*Prophets are innocent, and the holy persons are secured.
And in the condition of rapture, there will not be done by
them any work that is against Islamic law (Shariah).
*Good deads: One who has reached a place of reality due
to good deads.
*Fear of Allah: The flog of fear of Allah is for the
warning of the person and when it will enter the heart,
then it will shattered the heart into pieces.
 76

*Manners of Meeting: When a person enters a meeting

place, he should sit at the place that is found empty there.
*Revelation and miracles: In reality, that person is a
courageous one who will not show his personality in
status of the revelation and miracles so that he can get
position in the mysticism.
*By disclosing the status of revelation and miracles, one
will be deprived of the other remaining position in this
matter.
* The matter which will not be known by wisdom and
there is no reach of wisdom into it that is called miracle.
Elixir: The saying of holy persons is having effects of
elixir.
Daily recitals and wazifa (A wazifa is a regular litany of
Quranic verses, hadiths, and Duas practiced by followers
of Sufism. The word wazifa comes from Arabic and its
plural form is wazaïf.): in the following are mentioned
some recitals and wazaif that are shown by Hazrat Qutub
Sahib.
To fulfill desire and wishes: To fulfill desire and wishes,
we should have read verse Baqra.
Hazrat Baba Farid has said that there was some desire of
Hazrat Qutub Sahib with Allah. He began reading verse
 77

Baqra.Still, it was not over one day. And he did not

complete his prayer, and by this time his desires and
wishes were completed in this matter.
For memorization of the holy Quran, reading the verse
Yousuf is good.
The reward of the Haj pilgrimage: One who performs 2
rakats of prayer in the beginning of the month Zil Haj as
follows.
That in first rakat after verse Fataha read from verse
Enam from “Alhamad lilah lazi khalq samwat from here
to ma taksibun.” And in the second rakat after verse
Fataha, and after it, recite verse “Qul ya kafirun one time.
Allah will add the reward of one Haj pilgrimage to his
account of deeds.”
To keep in safety from clamity: Hazrat Qutub has said,
“One who leaves his house by recitation of Ayat al-Kursi,
and for it, the prophet of Allah has said the house will be
safe and secure in this matter.
Increase in sustenance: He has said one who will face a
tight condition is his sustenance then he should usually
recite : “Ya daim eiz wa mulak wa baqa ya zuljal waljud
walfasal ata ya wadud wa zularash al-majid ya falu lima
yurid.”
 78

Revelation and miracles: There were many of the

miracles by Hazrat Qutub and in a brief way we are
mentioning some of them.
He has much fondness of Sama hearing. When he came to
Delhi, he and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori used to hear
Sama hearing. And this news was reached to Sultan
Shabuddin; he was angry, and he said,If he will learn
again that he will hear Sama, then at that time I will hang
him on the cross or, like Ain Qaza, burn to ashes in this
matter.”
Hazrat Qutub, upon hearing this, said, “Well, if he is
alive, then he will hang us or burn us into ashes.”
And in that month of the Sultan, Shabuddin went toward
Khurasan, and in a few days he died there.
Hazrat Qutub stayed in Multan, and Qabacha was ruler of
Multan at that time. And one day he came in the presence,
and he old that him, “There came the Mughal army to
capture Multan, and I do not have the power to fight and
contest that with them. For God sake, help me in this
matter.” Hazrat Qutub has given him one arrow, and
advices him “After sunset prayer, go to the tower of Hisar
and throw this arrow with help of the bow toward the
enemy side and see its result from the side of Allah.”
 79

Qabacha has done as per his saying. After falling of the

arrow, the Mughal army left from there and returned
back.
One day there was a Sama meeting in the house of Qazi
Hameeduddin. Hazrat Qutub was found with his grace
there. After finishing the meeting, Qazi Hameeduddin
told Hazrat Qutub that there is required food for the
audience. And Hazrat Qutub shake his sleeves, so there
were fallen two breads with hot sweets before the
audience of the Sama meeting.
One day there was a Sama meeting in the house of Qazi
Hameeduddin, and Qazi Sahib was in the condition of
rapture. Qazi Sadiq and Qazi Emad, who were among the
great Qazi personalities of Delhi. And both of them
reached the meeting place. And at that time, Hazrat Qutub
was 18 years old. And still there was a not-found beard on
his face. Both of them addressed to him, “In the religion
of Sufiism, the presence of breadless lad is against its
rules and regulations.”
Upon hearing this Qutub Sahib by reciting“ In the Name
of Allah (SWT) the Merciful, the Compassionate or
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem (Arabic: ' ‫ٱلر ْح َٰم ِن‬
َّ ‫ِب ْس ِم ٱلل َّٰ ِه‬
‫يم‬
ِ ‫)ٱلر ِح‬
َّ ” is an Arabic phrase meaning "In the name of
God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful" spread his two
hands on his face, and at that time bread was found on his
face.
 80

He told both of them that “He is not a breadless lad, but

he is a male person.”
Upon seeing this, both of the learned persons were
surprised and astonished in this matter.
One day, Sultan Altamesah was seen as the prophet of
Allah in his dream. He saw the King of both worlds on
horseback gracing at one place, and he is saying, “Oh,
Shamsuddin, build one water reservoir at this place so that
there will be benefit to mankind.”
Sultan, after awakening, has informed Hazrat Qutub that
he has seen one dream and he wants his permission to
come in his presence. And in reply, Hazrat Qutub has sent
a message to the sultan as follows.
“I know details of the dream. I am going to that place
where the prophet of Allah has given order to construct a
water reservoir. You come soon at the place of my
address.”
The sultan has reached at that place and has seen Hazrat
Qutub performing the prayer there, and when he had
finished praying, he said salam to him. He has seen the
place of of prophet of Allah in the dream, and at that
place he has found signs of the hoofs of horses. And there
was running of the water, and at that place, Sultan
Shamsuddin has built Houz (Shamsi water reserver in
Dehli).
 81

There was much name and fame for the big-heartedness

of Sultan Shamsuddin Altamesh. The famous poet Nasiri
came to Delhi and went in the presence of the blessing of
Hazrat Qutub for his prayers. He told him by his tongue
of favor, "Go, you will get much reward.”
Nasiri has written an enconuim of 56 couplets in the
praise of Sultan Shamsuddin of the Delhi kingdom and
present in the court of the sultan. The sultan did not pay
any attention. Nasiri was worried very much. He has
asked in his heart for help from Hazrat Qutub. Upon his
help, the sultan asked him to say yes to reading your
article. He has read the article. The Sultan was very happy
to listen to it. And he has given Nasiri 56 thousand rupees
as a reward to him. Upon receiving money, Nasiri, in
happy mode, reached in the presence of Hazrat Qutb; he
put all the money received in reward. But Qutub Sahib
did not take any amount from it. He went back to his
native place.
After the death of Qutub Sahib, his favor of spring is
being found. Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya used to visit the
grave of Qutub Sahib, and there came the thought in his
mind that whether there would be any news of visitors to
Qutub Sahib or not.? And when he reached near the
grave, he heard the following couplet.:
“Imagine me alive, my dear.”
 82

One person was buried at the feet side of Hazrat Qutub,

and people have seen him in the dream that he is visiting
heaven, and he was asked how he got heaven, which was
his deed. And that person has replied, “When angels of
punishment came over there to give punishment for me,
then there was difficulty to the soul of the Hazrat Qutub,
so Allah has removed punishment from the grave and
forgiven me.”
His favor of the innermost is being continued. And due to
the favor of his innermost, still people are being benefited
in this matter.

3.Shaikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi

Shaikh Baderuddin Ghaznavi is an accepted person in the

court of Allah. And he is disciple and caliph of Hazrat
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki. And he was resident of
Ghazni.
His dream: He was seen dreaming one night that prophet
came over there along with co-companions as well as
holy persons. And prophet he his hand and hand over to
him one darwesh person and he said “Baderuddin you
become disciple of this darwesh. And that darwesh was
still young person and there was coming hairs of his beard
on his face. And this darwesh’s name is Khaja
Qutubuddin.”
Search of spiritual master: Upon wake up of dream he
was decided to search such darwesh which was shown by
the prophet in his dream. In search of peer he has visited
many cities in this matter. In this search he was worried
and suffered difficulites as well as he was in surprised
condition. And he left Ghazni by leaving his house and
country his parents and relatives in this matter. About his
journey details once he told to Nizamuddin Auliya that “
He came to Lahore from Ghazni. And in thos days Lahore
was habituated in complete way. And I was stay there for
 94

some days then there was my intention of the journey.

And there is desire in my heart to go Delhi. And some
time there was desire to go back Ghazni. I was in such
worry and trouble. There was much attraction of heart
toward Ghazni. Because they were living my parents and
brother and other relatives there and in Delhi except my
son in law no body was not living.
Prediction : He could not decided where to go. And he
decided to take prediction in this matter from the Quran.
As per prediction he will take decision in this matter. He
himself said, “In short, I decided to take predictions as per
the Quran." And went in the presence of a holy person.
First seen with intention of Ghazni, then find verse of
punishment. And then seen with intention of Delhi and
found verse of the heavenly rivers and attributes of
heavenly resort. Even though there was desire in heart to
go to Ghazni, came to Delhi as per the prediction of the
Quran.” At last he has reached Delhi. And he said, “When
I have reached Delhi and heard my son-in-law is in
prison. I went to the door of the king of Delhi so that I
could inform him in this matter. I have seen that he came
from the house, and he was holding some rupees in his
hand. He embrassed with me, and he was very happy to
see me there. He has taken me in house, and he has
presented before me rupees, for which I was very
satisfied in this matter.”
 95

He was asked about Hazrat Khaja Qutubuddin. And he

was very happy to hear that Darwesh Khaja Qutubuddin
is residing in Delhi, which he had seen in his dream. And
who is very famous and has a higher-grade level Darwesh
personality? Hazrat Khaja Qutubuddin and Khazi
Hameeduddin Nagori both reside in one place. Then he
asked about his age factor. He was informed that Qazi
Hameed Nagori is very weak and is about 130 years old.
But Khaja Qutubuddin’s period of youth has just started.
And approximately he may be 17 years old, and his beard
is now coming on his face. Upon hearing this, he was sure
completely in this matter that the holy person that he has
seen in dream is Khaja Qutubuddin of Delhi. He was
much anxious to go in the presence of Khaja Qutubuddin.
By some person he was able to know the address of the
shrine building of Khja Qutubuddin in Delhi. At last he
was reached to the Shirne building there, and at that time
there was a meeting of Sama which was in progress there,
and Hazrat Khaja Qutubddin was found there.
Pledge and caliphate: He went inside the building and
sat in the Sama meeting with much respect and honor.
When the Sama meeting was over, he had put his head on
the earth with respect and shown prostration there. And
then, with much respect, he said, “This slave, Baderuddin,
wants to become his disciple.” Hazrat Qutub told him,
“Oh Baderuddin, who have become my disciple at that
night when the prophet was surrendering you to me. And
 96

he told me to make you my disciple. I have made you a

disciple that night in the presence of Allah. And I
requested Allah to accept Baderuddin Ghazni.” There was
an order from the court of Allah that “Oh Qutubuddin,
there was acceptance of your prayer in this matter. We
have accepted Baderuddin Ghazni and have made him our
friend.” He was much happy to hear by tongue of favor of
Qutub Sahib. Hazrat wants to fulfill the custom of the
Chistia chain. In the world empyrean as well as in this
world also, there will be the blessing of the pledge in this
matter. And there should be given a four-end turkey cap
to Baderuddin Ghazni. He was said in this matter to
Hazrat Qutub Sahib. And who accepted his request? He
was blessed with honor of pledge and given a four-end
turkey cap. And by looking at him, he asked him.
"Baderuddin, look at the side of the sky.”
He was seen at the side of the sky.
Qutub Sahib asked him, Have you seen something?”
“I told you I have seen the throne and chair.”
Again, Qutub Sahib told “Who are your master, and look
at the sky and see what is written on the tablet?.”
He was seen in the sky, and he said
“I have seen there that I am your disciple.”
 97

He then told her to look at the earth.

He was seen on the earthside, and he can also be seen in
neither region. His age was 70 years old at the time of his
pledge. He obtained a higher-grade position by living in
the company of his spiritual master. Hazrat Qutub was
given caliphate. He got it from his master saintlidress.
Before death, Hazrat Qutub told him, “Oh, Baderuddin,
the grace that we found from the spiritual master that was
given to you, there is a request with Allah that you will
become my beloved.”
The advice of his spiritual master.
Hazrat Qutub Sahib has given him some advices for
which he has acted upon them. And those instructions are
written as follows.
1. To follow peers of our peers. And follow the indigent
and hunger.
Like beggars and poor persons and do not connect the
people of the world. Keep away from the world. And
wear a rag dress. Always busy in the remembrance of
Allah.And keep loving friends of Allah. To give respect
to Darvish persons more than wealthy persons. And wash
the hands of Darwesh persons by your hands themselves.
 98

He was given service: Hazrat Qutub has given him the

duty of Masjid Imam of the shrine building, for which he
has performed his allotted duties well and perfectly.
Shock to him: Upon his arrival to Delhi from Ghazni, he
knew the Mughals had attacked Ghazni and plundered it,
and in that attack, his parents, brothers, and sisters, as
well as his relatives, died, for which reason he was
shocked very much in this matter.
Service of the spiritual master: He used to be present
always in the presence of his spiritual master for his
service, and he felt his service as felicity for him.

In fact, he was killed by the light.

Because it went to you with oil on top of it.

house of Qazi Baderuddin Ghazni. Qazi Sahib promised

Qattab.
Birth: He was born in Konthwal village.
Name: His name is Najmuddin.
Surname: His surname is Mutwakil. The reason for his
calling as Mutawakil is that, in spite of having with him
family members in trust of Allah, he was a unique person.
He used to spend life in poor condition as well as a
 105

deprived way of life. He does not look at the resources of

life in a manifest way. He was a person of trust in Allah in
an incomparable way.

Delhi and he has been appointed as Imam (leader) of the
mosque and that person married his daughter and spent a
large amount in this matter. He has told him that “If he
would spend half the amount of the expense of the
marriage on the way of Allah, then it is not known what
will happen in this matter.” This saying was not liked by
that person, and so he has removed him from the post of
Imam of the mosque.
Information about the event was given to Baba Farid Ganj
Shaker: He went to Ajodhan and informed his elder
brother about the event in this matter to his elder
brother.Upon hearing this, Baba Farid told me, “If Tamari
will go, then Ektari will be find.”At that time, a person
 106

whose name was Ektari came there. And who has done
much service for this family.
The devotion of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya to him:
When Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya came to Delhi, he lived
in his neighborhood. And he has much devotion to him.
Upon the death of his mother, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya
used to spend much time in his presence. Once he has
asked him to pray for his appointment to the Qazi post.
But he did not pray, and he told him, “You will not
become Qazi but will become some other person.” One
time Mahboob Ilahi wanted to become his disciple, but he
did not agree in this matter and told him, “If you want to
become a disciple, then become a disciple of Hazrat
Bahauddin Zikeria Multani or Baba Faird Ganj Shaker,
any one of them.”
Service of Bibi Fatima Sam: She was pious and an
elderly lady. He has much love and devotion for her.
Hazrat used to think of her as her sister. And used to pay
favor on her condition. When there will be hunger in the
house of Hazrat Najib Mutwakil, then the next day she
will cook bread of one sair or half (Kilo) and used to send
in the house of him by any person. Once she has sent only
one bread to him, he told by joke, “Oh Allah, as you have
informed our condition to this woman, then also king of
the city, so that he can send to us any thing of blessing in
 107

this matter. He smiled and said, “There will be no piety

available to kings so that they know.”
An event of one journey: Upon settlement in Ajodhan,
Baba Farid sent his brother Najib Mutwakil to bring his
mother. He went, and he was taken rest on the way under
shadows. And there was a need for water, so he went to
bring water. When he came back there with water and
could not find his mother. He was surprised and worried
very much. He searched for his mother everywhere, but
he could not find her trace there. At last, by
disappointment, he went in the presence of Baba Farid
Ganj Shaker and told him all the stories. Upon hearing
this, he told him to cook food and give it to charity.
After a long time, he was passed again in the same jungle.
And he went under the same tree, and there was thinking
with him that to check out around all sides of the village.
So that he could find her where about.He has done the
same, and he has found some human bones there. He
thought that perhaps those were the bones of his mother.
And it is possible that she may have been killed by any
tiger or beast. And by thinking he has collected those
bones and put them in the bag. He has taken that bag in
the presence of Baba Farid. And told him the whole story
in this matter. Baba Sahib, upon hearing this, asked him
to show his bag. He was checking it, but there were no
bones in the bag.
 108

Meeting with Khaja Khizer: One day he was returning

from Eid Gah (an Eidgah is an open-air space used for
Muslim prayers on special occasions, such as Eid al-Fitr
and Eid al-Adha). The word "Eidgah" comes from the
Persian words ʽīd (feast) and -gāh (place) to his house.
The people were around him. They were kissing his hands
and feet. Some Darwesh people who did not see him
before were asking for his name. When they were able to
know his name, they decided to go to his house and have
food with him. The Darwesh people came to see him, and
they asked him to arrange food in his house. He told them
welcome. And asked them to sit there. On that day, there
was hunger in the house. He told his wife if there is
anything, then she should cook in this matter. When he
was able to know that there was nothing in the house. He
told her to give him her chador (a large piece of cloth that
is wrapped around the head and upper body, leaving only
the face exposed, worn especially by Muslim women.)
from her head. So that he can bring bread and curry from
the bazaar. He has seen chader in which there are some
patches. And who will buy this? Then he thought to sell
away his prayer mat, and also in it there were many
patches. In helpless condition, he has done as per the
practice of the fakir person that if Darwesh will not find
anything in his house, then they will stand in the meeting
place by holding a water bottle in his hand. And he gave
water to all Darwesh people. The Darwesh persons took
 109

water glass from his hands and drank some water, and all
of them left his house.
After leaving the Darwesh people from his house, Khaja
Sahib went into his room and began thinking in his heart,
“Eid day is passing away, but there is no food going into
the mouths of my children. And travelers are coming and
going in disappointing ways.”
He was busy thinking such of the above way, and one
person came there by reciting one Persian couplet. He
could tell he was Khaja Khizer, so he stood to give
respect to him. Khizer asked him what complaint you are
making. He said, fighting with heart, that there is nothing
in the house. Then Khizer told him to bring some food for
his eating. But he excused in this matter.Khizer told him
to bring whatever is there in the house. He went into the
house. He saw one dish full of food. Upon asking his
wife, she told him that one person came and put the dish
and went away. And from that dish, he took some food
and went to the upper side of the house. And when he got
there, he could not find anybody there. He told in his
heart that this status which he has got is due to poverty
and poorness.
His sons: Hazrat had three sons. 1.Shaikh Ismail 2.Shaikh
Ahmed 3.Shaikh Mohammed.
 110

Death: Khaja Sahib was in the presence of Baba Farid 19

times. Each and every time upon leaving from him, he
used to ask him for his prayers. So that he could be in his
presence next time. When Khaja Sahib visited Baba Farid
last time, he requested him, but at that time Baba Farid
was silent.
Hazrat Nizamuddin said that Baba Farid has given
caliphate papers. And instructed him to show in Hansi
Moulana Jalaluddin and in Delhi show Qazi Muntaqab.
He was very surprised that Baba Farid had not mentioned
the name Shaik Najibuddin Mutawakil in this matter. He
thought there may be some expedience in this matter.
When he came to Delhi, he was able to know that he had
died on 7th Ramadan.
His grave is well known in Delhi as Shaikh Najibuddin
Sher Sawar. His grave is near the grave of Bibi Zulekha.
Biography: He was a great dawesh of his time. He has
presented a higher-grade example of trust in Allah. About
his engrossment, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya said, “I have
not seen such personality in Delhi. Even he does not
know what is today. Or which month is it? What is the
rate of selling of grains and the selling rate of mutton? So
he did not know anything about this matter. He only used
to be busy in the worship of Allah.” Hazrat Baba Farid
told him, “You are also among Abdal (Abdāl (Arabic:
‫ )أبدال‬, lit. substitutes, but which can also mean "generous"
 111

[karīm] and "noble" [sharīf], a term used in Islamic

metaphysics and Islamic mysticism, both Sunni and
Shiite, to refer to a particularly important group of God's
saints.) persons.”
Fondness of knowledge: For many times he wanted to
write the book ‘Jama Hikayat’. At last one person whose
name was Hameed began writing this book, and that book
was soon ended.
Sayings: :Perfect Momen (believer) is that person who
prefers friendship of reality to friendship of the sons.
When the world will go the world from the hands, then do
not care about it as the world;it is not a remaining thing.”
Daily recital: Hazrat used to recite this prayer always.
“Eimoni fee ebad allahe rahimukullahi.”
Miracle: There was his brother in Badayun. He used to
go to Badayun every year to meet him there. Once these
two brothers went to see Shaikh Ali, who was a member
of a rich family. He removed his footwear four steps
before reaching the floor there. He put his foot on the
ground, then he put his foot on the floor, and the prayer
mat was on the floor. Shaikh Ali was upset with this
matter. He said this mat was a prayer rug upon which
these brothers have sat there. There was one book before
Shaikh Ali. He has been asked about the book, but due to
his rivalry, he did not reply in this matter. Then he said,
 112

“If there is your permission, then I can see the book.”

Upon his permission, he opened the book. When he
opened the book, he saw the following writing in the
book:.
“In the last time there will be such learned persons who
used to be involved in sins in the loneliness. But if there
will be the foot of any person on the floor, then they will
be making disturbance in this matter.”
He has given back that book to Shaikh Ali, and upon
seeing that writing, Shaikh Ali felt much regret with him
in this matter.

Qawwali. It is difficult to mention his worship and mystic
exercises. Even the condition of his maids is such that

 120

Hazrat Mahbub Ilahi began listening to these events. Then

chrositer began telling details of Ajodhan that there was a
living Baba Farid Ganj Shaker. And he went in his
presence. And he found just like a complete moon of the
sky. He has given light to a dark heart by his light of
knowledge. And in this way he has conquered the hearts
of the people there. And many people are there in his
circle.
When Hazrat Nizamuddin was heard praising of the Baba
Farid Ganj Shaker, then there was a passion and love for
him in this matter. In this way, there was found in his
heart devotion to him. There was created in his heart the
feeling of kissing his feet. His love as well as devotion
and fondness were increasing day by day. There was his
daily recital after every prayer for saying Shaikh Farid
and Moulana Faird ten times. This love of the innermost
was not hiding, and it was known to his friends in this
matter. When they swear for him, then they swear in the
name of the love of Shaikh; it means in the name Baba
Ganj Shaker.
When he left Badayun to reside in Delhi, there was one
person whose name was Ayuz and who was with him in
his journey. When he finds any danger on the way, then
he will suddenly say, "Oh, peer, be found; we are going
under your protection.” When Hazrat Nizamuddin hears
the phrases of that person and he has asked who is your
 121

peer, where he is residing, and in whose protection you

are going in this matter.” That person said, “My peer is
such one who has taken your heart at his side. And he
made you out of love in this matter. It means Shaikh Farid
Eldin Ganj Shaker." Upon hearing this, his sincerity and
faith increased very much. In Delhi, Hazrat Nizmuddin

The changes in life: Hazrat used to spend nights in the
Jama mosque in Delhi. One day, in the morning, the azan
caller went to the minaret and recited the following verse
of the Quran, and its translation and interpretation are
written as follows:.
“Whether the time has not come for Momin (Momin
(Arabic: ‫ؤمن‬rr‫ )م‬is an Arabic Islamic term that means
"believer." It's often used in the Quran to describe
someone who has complete submission to Allah's will and
a firm faith in their heart. Mumin can also be used as a
name and is one of the names of God.) persons to bend
their hearts before Allah for remembrance.”
 122

Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi heard this verse of the Quran, and

there was prevailed upon him strange condition. There
was a strange change in his condition. And his chest was
full of the light of Allah. And there was gone love of the
world from him in this matter. Now there was no more
with him desire, need, and wish of the world. The living
of the isolation became his aim in this matter.
Departure to Ajodhan: Upon him there was fondness of
devotion. He started journeying toward Ajodhan without
any intention and made no travel arrangements and no
expenses with him. He went to Hansi, and there he began
waiting for the caravan, leaving for Ajodhan. When there
was a gathered caravan, then he was also joined with the
caravan people for travel. When the caravan chief feels
any danger on the travel, he will stand, and he said in a
loud voice, “Oh, my helper and intercessor, be present for
us.” Hazrat Nizmuddin has asked the caravan leader who
is your peer and whom you are calling for your help in
this matter. My peer is the Qutub of the world, Baba Farid
Uddin Ganj Shaker, and I am calling him only.” Upon
hearing this, there was an increase in his devotion to the
Baba Farid.
On the way there is one place, Sirsa, and from Sirsa there
are two ways, and one road goes to Multan and the other
way goes to Ajodhan. On the third night, Prophet
Mohammed came in his dream, and he told him, “Oh,
 123

Nizamuddin, follow the way of Ajodhan." Hazrat

Nizamuddin, without hesitation, followed the road to
Ajodhan by saying ‘Ya farid’, ‘Ya farid.’
In the presence of Hazrat Baba Farid Uddin Masood Ganj
Shaker
By passing the way, and at last he was reached to the final
destination of Ajodhan. On Wednesday at 11 Rajab in the
year 665 Hijri, he entered Ajhodan village, and after
Zuhar afternoon prayer, he went in the presence of the
blessing of the Baba Farid Ganj Shaker and got the
blessing by kissing his foot.
Hazrat Baba Farid Ganj Shaker, upon seeing Hazrat
Nizamuddin, has recited the following couplet.
In the morning, without travel expenses and convenience
facilities, Sheikh Nizamuddin started his journey towards
Ajodan on his feet, and he met Baba Faird on Thursday,
and upon seeing Baba Sahib, he recited the following
Persian couplet.
‘Its translation is that the fire of your separation made the
hearts like kababs (a kebab is pieces of meat or vegetables
grilled on a long, thin stick or slices of grilled
meat served in pitta bread.), and the flood of your
fondness spoiled the life in this matter.’
 124

Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi himself has explained this event as

follows.
Sheikh Nizamuddin wanted to explain to Baba Farid his
condition of eagerness of the heart and sincerity, but due
to his fear, he could not say anything in this matter. He
could say only there was fondness to kiss your feet.
Hazrat Baba, upon seeing his condition, said by his
tongue of favor as follows:
But Baba Farid, with great love and affection, told him,
“Welcome and greetings to him, and due to the grace of
Allah, he will be greatly benefited by blessings in both
worlds.”
Then Sheikh Nizamuddin was given Qirqa (saintly
dressed), and he was made him head of the group of
special disciples of the Sheikh of the world. He was given
him a cap, which he was wearing on his head, as well as
relics, Qirqa (saintly dress), wooden sandals, prayer
carpet, and staff. Then Baba Farid Ganj Shaker addressed
him and told him, “Oh Nizamuddin, I want to give the
saintliness of India to some other person, and you were on
the way. At that time, I heard an invisible call in which it
was told to stop this matter for some time as Nizamuddin
was coming. And he is eligible for saintliness of India.So
it required to be given to him.At that time, Hazrat
Nizmuddin was 20 years old. As per the order of his
spiritual master, he began living in Ajodhan. And Hazrat
 125

Mahboob Ilahi has asked his spiritual master, “What is

order for him? If there will be instruction to stop reading
and teaching and engage in supererogatory prayers and
daily recitals.
Hazrat Baba Faird told him, “I do not prohibit anybody
from reading and teaching, so do this and also do the
other things, as Darwesh has with him some knowledge in
this matter.

Service of spiritual master: He was stayed in service of
his spiritual master for a period of 7 months, and some
days he was benefited by his favors of the innermost as
well as manifestation. Before his departure from Ajodhan,
Baba Sahib, wear him a special Qirqa of the Chisita Sufi
order that was reached to him. And on that day of the
second Rabbil Awwal, 656 Hijra, he was given the
caliphate. And upon this, Baba Sahib prayed for him, and
the translation of his prayer is as follows.
“Allah make you a pious person in both worlds. And give
you knowledge of benefit, accepted deeds, and
sustenance.”
After praying this, he was advised to increase in
endeavors, and upon saying good-bye at the time of his
leaving, Baba Sahib told him, “I have given saintliness of
India to Moulana Nizamuddin. And left this country
under his protection and made my person the custodian.”
Upon giving him the papers of the caliphate, Baba Farid
Uddin has instructed him to show his papers in Hansi to
Moulana Jamaluddin. And in Delhi, show papers to Qazi
Muntaquddin. Hazrat Nizmuddin, leaving from Baba
Farid, reached to Hansi and showed Moulana Jamaluddin
his papers of caliphate given by Baba Farid, and he was
very happy in this matter. And upon this occasion, he
 127

recited his one couplet in praise of the caliphate. And its

meaning and interpretation are as follows.
“Many many thuousand Darud (blessing) and many
thousand thanks that there was given a diamond to the
person who knew about the value of the diamond.”
Return back to Delhi. Upon returning back from
Ajodhan to Delhi as per grace and beauty, he was sat on
the throne of the holy persons of Chist. And he was
engaged in the work of guidance in the right way. He
went to Ajodhan to meet his spiritual master for a period
of 30 years, and after his death, Hazrat Nizmuddin visited
the tomb of Baba Farid seven times.
Endeavours and mystical exercises: Upon return to
Delhi as per advice of his spiritual master, he has spent
his time in endeavors and exercises. He was kept away
from the wishes, desires, and needs of the world. And
used to be engaged in worship of Allah. Hazrat used to
keep always fasting.
Change of the residence: Due to living in habitation,
there was a heavy rush of the people, which was possible
of causing disturbance of worship of Allah. He wants to
live in such a place where he can engage in worship of
Allah with peace and satisfaction. He is thinking about
where to go and live in this matter. One day he was in the
 128

garden in Rani Reserve, and after performing the prayer,

he prayed with Allah as follows.
“Oh Allah I do not want to live at any place as per my
option in this matter.Keep me at the place that is suitable
for me.” Still, he was engaged there and heard an invisible
call in which it was told, “Your place is Ghiaspur.”
As per the order of Allah, Hazrat Nizamdin began living
in Ghiaspur in Delhi. Ghiaspur is a small village. And
after some period, there began shifting the rich and
wealthy persons and noble persons of the city there.
Hazrat decided to leave Ghiaspur and to shift the city
because there was less movement of the people. By
chance, Hazrat met one beautiful person. He sat near him
and began reciting the poetry. He said in the presence of
Hazrat Nizmuddin, “What is their power?. And that by
leaving mankind searching for loneliness.”
Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya ignored his decision, and he
has now made the firm decision that he will never go to
any place and he will be living in Ghiaspur. So in this
way, he lived his whole life in Ghiaspur. Ziauddin Wakil
Emaduddin, who has constructed one grand building
there.
Last days: Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya, in his last days of
life, has reduced eating and drinking in less quantity. And
40 days before his death, he has left eating and drinking
 129

completely. One day he was given soup, but he has

refused to drink, and he has said, “For whom the
prophet Mohammed is waiting and for him what is in
need of him of the worldly food?.”
Hazrat used to perform prayers many times and will ask
whether he has performed the prayers or not?. And used
to perform prostration before Allah many times. And used
to weep too much in this matter. This was there on his
lips, some poetry couplet, and its meaning is that “We are
going, We are going, We are going.”
In the house there was nothing left, and he was given the
order to Iqbal to distribute all grains to the beggars.
Distribution of relics: When the time of his departure
from the world came, he gave on a special prayer carpet,
turban, and dress to Hazrat Gharib. And he was given first
permission to go toward the south of India. One turban,
one dress, and a prayer carpet were given to Shaikh
Yakub and asked him to go toward the Gujrat side. He
was also given one turban, prayer carpet, and dress for
Moulana Shams Yahiah.
Hazrat Nasirudin Chiragh was also present in his service
that day, but he was not given anything. So all were
surprised in this matter. Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi called him
on Wednesday, and he gave him staff, prayer carpet,
beads, wooden sandals, Qirqa (saintly dress), and also
 130

other relics of Baba Farid Ganj Shaker and addressed him,

"You have to stay in Delhi and have to face oppression
and hardships of the people.”
Death: He was ill for a period of four months and some
days. And he left this world on 18 th Rabbil Thani in the
year on Wednesday upon sunrise was entered in the grace
of mercy. His funeral prayer was performed by Hazrat
Rukanuddin Mulani. There was a procession of the
funeral and singing by chorister poetry of Shaikh Saadi.
And when they were reached on the following couplet
“Oh, the watcher of the show of the world.”
And at that time there was started movement in funeral.
And there was prevailed condition and rapture on the
funeral body. In this situation, Moulana Rukanuddin has
stopped singing of the chorus in this matter.
It is also said that he was taken out of his hand from the
funeral dress. And he said, “I do not go.”
His first caliph, Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehli, told
him at that time, “Seyyed's hand is in the middle.” And at
the same time, Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi was pulled back his
hand. His tomb is situated in Ghiaspur in Delhi, which is
known as the locality of Nizamuddin. His annual death
anniversary used to be celebrated on a splendid and grand
scale.
 131

Details of his caliphs: His first caliph is Hazrat Khaja

Nasir Uddin Chiragh Dehlavi, who is also his successor.
Amir Khusro, Moulana Shamsuddin Mohammed bin

His biography: Hazrat did not marry during his whole
period of life. And he has spent his whole life as an
unmarried person.
His love of his spiritual master: Hazrat used to love his
spiritual master Baba Farid very much. His sincerity,
honesty, obedience, and good faith are the reasons for his
faithfulness in this matter. For this reason, Hazrat Baba
Farid Ganj Shaker has given him a large number of graces
in this matter. And from his side, there was an increase in
his sincerity and faith day by day for his spiritual master,
Baba Farid Ganj Shaker. And his spirituals used to say
always about him, “This poor Moulana Nizam came in
my presence, and from that day on there was no
interference in his sincerity and faith.”
 132

One day he said, “For disciple and son, he should be well-

founded like Nizam.”
He has written one quatrain in his letter to his spiritual
master, and from that quatrain, which is known as his
love, sincerity, and faith. After some days, he was present
in the presence of his spiritual master. And he told him to
recite that quatrain in his presence. When he has recited
that quatrain, then there was prevailed such condition
upon Baba Farid Ganj Shaker as such that, in condition of
fondness and liking, he began dancing there.
Dignity of loveliness: When a perfect holy person passes
from stages of Qutbiat (In Sufism, a Qutb is the spiritual
leader of the saintly hierarchy and is considered to be a
perfect human being. The Qutb is the central figure of
Sufism; with a divine connection to God and the ability to
pass on knowledge and solitude, he will reach the final
status of dignity of loveliness (shan mahboobi), and he
will become a manifestation of the secret of Allah. As
well as his will becoming the will of Allah in this matter.
Hazrat Nizamuddin, from the status of Ghouse (helper),
reached the status of dignity of loveliness. The dignity of
loveliness is still seen from his grave of light. And from
him there will be such fragrance, which will be like oud
(in Arabic, 'oud' literally translates to 'wood'), and its
etymology is a nod to the way the substance is made. In
its purest form, oud is a natural resin extracted from the
 133

heartwood of the aquilaria tree native to Southeast Asia—

found particularly in the rainforests of Bangladesh,
Indonesia, and Thailand.).
Indigence and hunger: His beginning period of life,
which passed in the condition of poverty and scarcity. In
that period, he does not have even one Chital coin with
him. And from which he can purchase two or three
breads.
Victories: This is an event of one day that with him there
was cooking Ash-e Jo (barley stew with beans and herbs)
and suddenly there came one fakir who was wearing a rag
dress on his body. And he has asked him to bring
whatever is cooked with you. He has brought a cooking
pot of ash-e jo, which was still cooking and which was
boiling. And the fakir without waiting began eating of
ash-e-jo. And upon eating the fakir, he broke the cooking
pot on the earth, and he said, “Moulana Nizam grace of
manfiest, which was given to you by Baba Fariduddin."
And I have broken your cooking pot of the indigence of
manifest.”
And from that day onward, there were so many victories,
amounts that came and were impossible to count and
reckon. And upon him there were widened from all four
sides doors of victories.
 134

Public kitchen: There was a prayer of Baba Farid that

“Due to the grace of Allah, there should be used 70
maunds of salt in his public kitchen.”
The prayer of his spiritual master was accepted. There
used to be 70 maunds of salt in his kitchen. And 70 loads
of camels of peels of onions and garlic, which were found
in his public kitchen.
Hate of the world: He used to spend his life away from
the world and people of the world.
Generosity: The condition of his generosity was that
whatever will be received in the day will be spent out by
the evening time the same day. One day there was a fire
that broke out in Ghiaspur. Many houses were burned
down. So there was shock of him in this matter, and he
was given the order his servant Iqbal to be given two
dishes of food, two water bottles, and two golden coins to
the people whose houses were burned down, and Khaja
Iqbal was acted as per this instruction. And from his side
there will be the people brought up. And there will be
help to students and Quran-conners from his side. There
was surprise of the kings upon his generosity and
bigheartedness.
Liking of Sama
(Sama (Turkish: Sema; Persian, Urdu, and Persian: ‫َسماع‬
 135

, romanized: samā) is a Sufi ceremony performed as part

of the meditation and prayer practice dhikr. Sama means
"listening," while dhikr means "remembrance." These
performances often include singing, playing instruments,
dancing, recitation of poetry and prayers, wearing
symbolic attire, and other rituals. Sama is a particularly
popular form of worship in Sufism.) He has much
fondness for hearing Sama. It was an event that he was
passing from one place, and one person was taking water
from the well, and there was the water wheel on the well.
And he was saying with his friend, “Come out, oh
brother, come out.”
When Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya heard these words, then
it prevailed upon his rapture. And those who were with
him were reciting these words.
Greatness and holiness: with Hazrat Nizmuddin, the
prophet told him in his dream, “You are the sky of the
fakir and poor people.” Once Khaja Khizer has solved the
difficulty of Moulana Wajihuddin Paili, And Moulana has
asked him if there will be any problem faced by me, then
it will be possible to see you.” He has replied, In the
kitchen of Khaja Nizmuddin Auliya, he will be found
there.”
One day there was a meeting of Khaja Moinddin with
invisible persons, and one among them told him, "Oh,
Khaja, you have caused uproar in all cities of the world.
 136

And upon hearing this, Khaja Sahib told him, by surprise,

“Whether I did.”
*And that Abdal said, “No.” He then asked, “Is
Qutubuddin?” And Abdal told him, “No.” He then asked,
“Is Baba Farid?" And Abdal told him, “No. Then he
asked, “Is Nizmuddin?" So Abdal said, "Yes." Khaja
Sahib told him he is in 4th grade with me. And Abdal (a
known number of divines chosen by God who always
inhabit the world; it is said that when one of them dies,
God appoints another in order to keep their numbers the
same, i.e., seven or seventy).
Worship: He used to live alone in his room, and nobody
was allowed to enter it. And the room door will be closed
at night. At the morning time, his eyes will be seen in the
condition of intoxicated and bright. There will be his eyes
read in the daytime.
Fondness of knowledge: He has written details of the
meeting of his spiritual master in the book. And he was
given the name of the book as “Rahat al-Quloob.” And in
that book in which he has written the blessing of the
discourses and sermons of Baba Farid Ganj Shaker. And
this book was published in Persian, and this book’s
translation was done in English by Mohammed Abdul
Hafeez (myself), who is also doing translation of this
book ‘22 Holy Persons in Delhi’.in English.
 137

His teachings are songs of the secrets of Allah. These are

as such jewels that and which are rare. In the following,
some details of his meetings are mentioned as follows:.
1.Leaving the world: For it must have higher-level
courage and not be involved in the filth of the world. And
to leave greed and lust.
2. In the second meeting, he said, “If somebody keeps
fasting in the daytime and he is a night worshipper, and
even he may be a Haji person, the original rule is that
there should be no love of the world in his heart.
Reading of the Quran: The reader will be found with
some peace and comfort from the verse, so he has to read
it many times. In the reading and Sama, there will be
found the condition of felicity, which is prevailed from
three resources, and the details are as follows: 1. Lights 2.
Conditions 3. signs, and which are sent from the world of
Malik (angles). 2.Malkut (dominion) 3.Jabrut (heavens).
and places where fall are souls, hearts, and organs. And
lights from Malkut on souls, conditions from Jabrut on
hearts, and signs from Malik on organs.
Charity: For charity, he said, “When there will be five
conditions in charity, then it will be accepted. And in it
two before giving. And two at the time of giving. And one
will after it. The two conditions before giving are that
 138

whatever will be given belongs to a legal source and to be

given to a pious person who will not spend in bad deeds.
The two conditions at the time of giving are humility and
happiness. And keep hiding from other people. The last
condition is not to keep remembering the person who was
given charity and forgetting the name of the person.
Patience and endurance: For patience and endurance, he
said, “When there will reach this matter to the person
against it, then he should not lodge a complaint." The
meaning of approval is that with difficulty he should not
feel uneasiness in this matter, and there should be a
feeling that there was not prevailed any problem with
him.
Trust: For trust, he said, “There are 3 degrees of trust. In
case of claim, not hire the service of an advocate, even if
that person is his friend. And as a learned person, then the
complainant will be free in this matter. And he will say I
have the service of such an advocate who is wise in his
claims. And he is my friend. And in this case there will be
trust as well as question. And this first degree of trust, in
which there is trust as well as question. The second
degree of trust is there a milk-feeding boy and whose
mother is feeding milk to him. From this there will be
trust and it will not be their question. The boy will not say
to give me milk at such and such time. And he only weeps
in this matter, but he will not demand. And he did not say
 139

to feed me milk. And in her heart there will be a heart of

kindness and trust.
The third degree of trust is like the hands of an undertaker
whose work is restricted to washing the dead corpse or
giving a funeral bath, and for him, the dead person will
not move or question him. As per the wish of the funeral
bath giver person, give him movement and wash him.
This degree is higher-level status.
Kinds of obedience: He said obedience is compulsory,
and it is compulsory that its benefit will reach the
personality of the follower of it. And these are prayer,
fasting, Haj, Darud (blessing), and Tasbih (beads).
Mutadi is that obedience that benefits other persons.
Unity and hardship, doing in favor of the other; this is
called Mutadi, and its reward is such in this matter. In
compulsory obedience, there is a must of intention. So
that it can be accepted. But it is Mutadi obedience, which
should be done in any way and in which there will be a
method of prayer. At the time of praying, there should be
no thought of sins. As well as for worship and obedience,
which is done, and if this is done like this, then there will
be surprise in this matter that prayers will not be accepted.
If there will be thinking of sin, then there will be laziness
in the acceptance of the prayer. So at that time, one
should look at the mercy of Allah. And there be belief that
the prayer is sure to be accepted by Allah. He is also said
 140

to open two hands at chest level. And this is also

information that both hands should be closed at the upper
level. It should be made as such a face that just knows
there will be something found.
Perfect faith (Eman): He told that “There should be faith
in Allah." And except him, there should be no faith from
others." He then told me that “a man’s faith will not be
completed unless and until in his eyes all creations have
less reality than mosquitoes.”
Engagement of reality: About engagement of reality, he
said that “real work is remembrance of reality, and except
this, all others are interferences in the remembrance of
reality.”
Kinds of sustenance: As per holy persons, there are
found four kinds of sustenance. 1. Sustenance Mazmon 2.
Substance of fate 3. Sustenance of Mamelok 4.
Sustainance of Maud.
The sustenance of Maznon is that which belongs to food
and drinks and income. This sustenance is guaranteed by
Allah. The sustenance of fate, which is written by Allah in
eternity time and which is part of his fate. And which is
found in the tablet in the sky. The sustenance of Mamlok
is that which can be stored, like rupees, cloths, and
resources. And the substance of Maud is that which is
promised by Allah to his holy persons.
 141

About Patience: For Tahmal, he said, “There is treatment

of the people from them in three ways." First, to those
people, there will be no benefit or loss to others. And such
people come under the category of gamadat (non-living
things).
In the second category from them, there will be no benefit
or loss.
Third-category people are better than both of them. It
means those people from them will benefit others. And if
there will be loss to them from other people, they will not
take revenge but bear in this matter, which is the work of
true persons.
Sama's Meeting :He said when there will be something
available, then it will be permissible to hear Sama. The
singing of a Sama person is called Masmu. And who
should be an adult male and not a boy or a woman, and
there should be instruments of the Sama. The singer
should not sing for uselessness for Musmu, who is a
listener and should be fond of reality, and with him there
will be no false thinking. And the instruments of Sama are
chung. (
(used about a machine or engine) to make short, repeated
sounds while it is working or moving slowly. and rabab
(Rubab,robab, or rabab is a lute-like musical instrument),
etc., which should not be in the Sama meeting; then such
a meeting will be called legal.
 142

Then he said, “The Sama is a suitable voice." So how it

will be illegal. Also in it there will be movement to the
heart. And if that movement is for remembrance of
reality, then it will be called desirable, and if there is bad
thinking, then it will be illegal.
Sayings: Some of his sayings are as follows:.
1. The real wisdom is to leave the world.
2.Darwesh should not feel happiness from happy events
and should not feel sadness from sad events.
3.When there will be a full stomach, then there will be no
eating more. But it will be permissible for two people that
the person in whose house there will be the host so for
sake of him and together with him he can eat some more
with him and other people who will keep fasting and he
thinks that he will not get perhaps at the time of Sahar
(food eaten before daybreak during Ramazan or for other
fasting days) eating time.
4.When the man learns knowledge, then he will get
excellence. And when he follows obedience, then there
will be improvement in his work. On this occasion, the
spiritual master should break both of them; it means to
fall out knowledge and action from his look so that he
could become a person of self-appreciation.
5.There will be a fall of mercy at the following times.
 143

At the time of Sama and eating of food with intention of

getting power for the obedience. At the time, mentioning
the details of Darwesh people.
6.When Salik (Sufi) is a devotee (of the mystic path) who
will be on the right path of the pledge, then there will be
no accountability for the things that he has done before
his pledge.
7.At the time of dealings, there should not be such
conversation that from which there will appear veins of
the neck; it means there should not be signs of
discrimination and anger.
8.There should be bear the cruelty of all persons, but
there should be no intention of taking revenge.
9.In the knowledge in which he will find wisdom and
love, then he is eligible for the caliphate of the spiritual
master.
10.There will be overwhelming love of the holy persons
upon the wisdom.
11.The person whose nature is light will become angry
soon.
Daily recitals: He has said before calamity there is a
requirement to recite prayer.
 144

There will usually be prayers accepted by Allah in the

early morning. And this time is good for the prayers.
Hazrat Baba Ganj Shaker told him that at the time
lamentation and weeping thoughts were good for the
prayers. Because this time prayers are accepted surely.
Hazrat Nizamuddin said to tie amlet on the arm is good.
And should not hang in the neck, and prophet of Allah is
prohibited in this matter. Some of the recitals and Wazif
(repeat incantation) are as follows.
For solving the problems: Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya has
said, “When there is a problem, sit in the night of the
15th of the month in direction of Qibla with ablution and
recite 19 times, “Wallahu Mustan.”
For spending life in happy condition without resources:
To recite 100 times this following prayer.
“La ilaha Illahu wahdahu la sharika lahu lahul mulk
walahul hamd wuhahul hamad wahua ala kulli shain
qadir.”
For finding the lost things :Hazrat used to say that to find
the lost things to recite following prayer.
“Ya jamianas alyauma laraibaajama allaya sanalati.”
 145

For wishes and desires of the world and other world,

Hazrat told them to recite the following prayer many
times in prostration.
“Allahuma enna nastafaku bi um yahiah ibn zikeria ya
malik yum eldin ba haq eyaka nabudu yayaka nastain.”
For overpowering the enemy. He said by facing the
enemy to recite the following names.
“Ya Saubu, ya Quddus, ya Gafur, ya Wadud.”
To cure from illness: He said that for recovery from each
and every illness, it is good to write and tie on the arm it.
“Allahu Shafi, Allahu Kafi, Allahu Nafi.”
To fulfill desire and wishes: Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi said
the following prayer is more effective to fulfill desires
and wishes.
“Ya Haiyu ya Halim, ya Aziz, ya Karim bakan kar sab rah
salim ba haq eyyaka nabudu eyyaka nastin.”
The increase of the sustenance: Hazrat Nizamuddin
Auliya said for an increase of the sustenance to read verse
Juma in the nighttime. And recite also “Wallahu Khirur
Raziqin” for 3 or 7 times or 21 times. If you read verse
Juma daily, it is required to read it on Friday night. He
said to increase the sustenance to recite 100 times in the
morning time “Lahul billa quwata illabilla aliul azeem.”
 146

Prayer of Masura: He said if there is no relief from

sadness and grief in any way, then to read it on Friday
from Asar to Maghrib prayers to recite the following three
names.
“Ya Allah, Ya Rahman, Ya Raheem.”
Revelation and miracles: Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya
was the personality of revelation and miracles. But for
these things, there were no value at all in his look. He
used to say that revelations and miracles are veil on the
way. In the love, the work is done by formation. So be
helpless in this matter. So that to get real aim in this
matter. To show miracles, there is no sign of holiness or
piety. So keep the secret; this is hidden in this matter and
for this there is a required higher grade level of courage.
Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya has said that “There are 100
grades of mystic way. And the status of revelation and
among its miracles is having 7th grade. And Salik
(student) who lived in this matter who will not go further
in this matter.
Hazrat said there are four kinds of supernatural habits.
1. Miracles happened by the prophets.
2. Supernatural habits happen to the holy person.
3. Maunat (help) when there is any matter against habit
by some persons who do not have knowledge and
 147

Majzub (dauntless) persons of no action and by mad

persons.
4. Escalation: When anything that will happen against
habit by persons who do not have faith. And which is
called escalation.
Hazrat Nizmuddin Aulia has said by miracles there will
be three things.
1. The knowledge without education and become a
man-learned person without education.
2. The holy persons will see such things as will be seen
by the general persons in their dreams.
3. Like the thoughts of the general persons, which will
have effect upon them, and in the same way, the
thoughts of the holy person, which will have effect
on the general persons.
There are mentioned details of some of his miracles as
follows.
1. Once Qazi Mohiddun Kashani was seriously ill, and in
appearance there was no chance of his recovery from
illness. When Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya went to see him
and he was dying at that time, and due to the blessing of
the feet of Hazrat, he was well, and there was a complete
recovery of his health in this matter. He stood to welcome
Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya into his house.
 148

In his shrine building there was a digging water well, but

there was found sour water in the well. One day he was
present in the Sama meeting. And he has asked to bring
by his servant Iqbal the paper, pen and inkpot. Hazrat has
written something on the paper and asked Iqbal to put the
paper in the well. Upon putting the paper in the well, the
water has become sweet.
One of his disciples, Moulana Baderuddin, has seen one
camel on his threshold in one night. He was sitting on the
camel, and that camel was flown in the air and went
away. In the last part of the night, a camel came back
there and Hazrat came down from the camel and went
into the shrine building.
There came a thought in the mind of his disciples that if
Hazrat will give his drink water to him, then it will be
deemed his miracle in this matter. Hazrat was able to
understand the danger of the disciple in this matter, and
he was given his drinking water to him.
The strange event of the king: King of Delhi Ghias
Uddin Tughlaq, who used to not say anything in
appearing to Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya. But he has
foulness in his heart. One time he went to Bengal from
Delhi. And he has sent a message to Hazrat Nizamuddin
Auliya to leave from Delhi. And also after that, he should
leave from Ghiaspur. At that time he has become some
sad in this matter, and he has said, “Hanooz Dilli Door
 149

Ast," which is a Persian phrase that translates to “Delhi is

still far away." It is associated with the Sufi saint
Nizamuddin Aulia, who is said to have said it to Sultan
Giyasuddin. The phrase is used to convey a sense of
nonchalance about threats that are far away.
At last it happened that still he could not reach Delhi, and
there was a fallen palace of Tughlaqabd upon him, and he
died. He could not reach Delhi as per his fate. Till now,
people have used this phrase as a proverb in this matter:
“Delhi is still far away.”

6.Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmood Chiragh Dehlavi

Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmood Chiragh Dehlavi is the

bright lamp of the Chisti Sufi Chain. And he is the
successor of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. He is a brave
 150

man in the field of the Islamic religion. And he is a person

of belief in the field.
Family conditions: His main ancestor was Hazrat Shaikh
Abdul Latif Nairvi, who was a resident of Khurasan. And
he came to Lahore from the migration of Khurasan. His
son left the residence of Lahore and reached the Awadh
area in India.
Parents: His father, Shaikh Yahiah, and his mother, who
resided in Awadh. His father was a Sufi. His mother was
a pious lady. And she used to spend much of her time in
worship. And she was like the lady Rabia of her time. His
father was a rich person and used to sell pashmina (a long
piece of soft material such as wool that is worn by a
woman around her shoulders. ) in the market, and he has
slaves with him.
Genealogical record of his mother: Her genealogical

 151

Place of birth: He was born in Awadh.

His name is Nasiruddin.
Surname: His title is Mahmood.
Title: His title is Chiragh Dehlavi. There are some
reasons for his being called Chiragh Dehlavi. When
Maqdum Jahanian Jahan Gast went to Makkah and he met
Imam Yafi there, in his conversation there came a
discussion about holy persons of Delhi.
Hazrat Yafai told him that there were many holy persons
in Delhi before. And all were passed away from the
world. Then Imam Yafai told that “Now Nasir Awadhi is
the lamp of Delhi and who is remaining there.”
Hazrat Maqdum Jahanian Jahan Gast Syed Jalal returned
from Makkah after some days, and he was pledged at the
hands of Hazrat Nasir Uddin Chiragh Dehlavi. And
afterward he was blessed by his caliphate.
For the calling of Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi, the
second reason is that "Once there came Darwesh people
to Delhi for travel and tourism. They met with Hazrat
Nizmuddin Auliya. And those Darwesh people were
sitting in the presence of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. By
chance, Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmood Chiragh Dehlavi
came in the presence of the excellancy of Hazrat
Nizamuddin Auliya.Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya asked him
 152

to sit there. But he told him that “there will be a backside

of him to Darwesh people. Hazrat Nizamuddin said,
“There will be no face or backside of the lamp." He was
seated as per the order of his spiritual master. His front
and back are both sides equal and the same. As he can see
from the front side and from the backside as well. And
from that, he became well known and famous with the
title of ‘Charagh Dehlavi’.
The third reason is that one time the king who has enmity
with him and who did not like his rule and power. At the
time of Urs of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, the king has
stopped supply of the oil for the shrine building. Hazrat
Chiragh Dehlavi was told about this event by Hazrat
Nizamuddin Auliya. He was asked, “In the digging of the
well, whether there was any water from it.” Hazrat
Naseeruddin said, “Yes, sir.“ Hazrat Naseeruddin Auliya
gave him the order, “To fill it in the lamps and to
illuminate the lamps.”
He was done like this, and all lamps were illuminated not
by oil but by the water. Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmood
became well known and famous with the title of the
Chiragh Dehlavi all over the world.
Shock in childhood: When he was nine years old, his
father left this mortal world.
 153

Education and training: Upon the death of his father,

the weight of his education and training fell on his
mother, and she has borne that responsibility in a good
way. She felt her full responsibility in this matter. She has
tried good endeavors. He was surrendered to Moualan
Abdul Karim Shervani. He has soon completed the
knowledge of the manifest. At the age of 20 years, he has
obtained all knowledge and discontinued his endeavors.
Company of the Darwesh persons: Since the beginning
of his life, he used to be engaged in the efforts of the soul.
He began living in the company of one Darwesh. And
Darwesh used to live in a jungle area away from the city.
He was not concerned with the world, and he used to live
by eating grass and leaves.
Arrival in Delhi: At the age of 43, he arrived in Delhi,
and upon reaching Delhi, he went in the presence of
Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, and he was at his service for a
long period of time.
Pledge and caliphate: Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya
blessed him with the pledge, and afterward he was
awarded him saintly dress. Upon him there was a special
favor and kindness of his spiritual master. And who made
him his custodian and successor? All relics that were
found by him from Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shaker were
given to him. And advised to keep those relics which he
 154

has kept by him as well as holy saints of Christ have kept

with respect and honor.
His record of the caliphate is connected with the Imam of
the holy persons, Hazrat Ali, in 18 sources.
One event: Hazrat Zikeria Mulani's disciple, Mohammed
Gazroni, once came into the presence of Hazrat
Nizamuddin Auliya, and he stayed one night in the shrine
building. When Tahjud prayed, he removed the blanket
and went for ablution by keeping it in one place. When he
came back after ablution, he could not find the blanket at
its place, so he began saying angry words to the servant.
Hazrat Chiragh Dehlavi was engaged in the worship, and
when he heard the conversation, he stood and gave his
blanket to him and finished this matter in this way.
Someone has told this event to Hazrat Nizamuddin
Auliya, who called him on the first floor and was given
him his special blanket. And prayed for his well-being.
And was given his blessing for both worlds.
Request in the presence of spiritual master: For the
sake of respect and for this reason that Amir Khursro,
who has special nearness in the presence of Hazrat
Nizamuddin Auliya, and Amir Khursro, who can reach in
his presence at any time. He could not tell him, but he was
passed his message by Amir Khuso in the presence of his
spiritual master. That by living in the city, there will be
 155

disturbance in the engagement and in the worship. As

there will be used to the coming and going of the people.
If there will be permission to go and stay in the desert or
in the mountain area. And there will be engagement of the
worship with peace and satisfaction.”
Hazrat Amir Khursro told Nizamuddin Auliya and replied
as follows: “To tell him to stay in the city." And face the
oppression and violence of mankind in this matter, and for
exchange of it, give them sellessness and favor.”
Endeavors. He was engaged in severe endeavors. One
time, his soul disturbed him a lot. He has eaten a large
quantity of lemons to overpower the soul, and he has
become ill severally.
One time he did not eat food for ten days, and some
person told this matter to Mahboob Ilahi. He was called
him before, and when he went before him, he gave an
order to Iqbal to bring one bread. Iqbal brought one bread
with spreading a large quantity of the sweet upon it.
Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya was given an order to eat all
the items before him. And he was very surprised at how
he could eat items at once. But he ate all things as he
could not refuse the order of his spiritual master.
His final advice: He was given final advice to Shaikh
Zainuddin and Shaik Kamaluddin that upon his death to
put the saintly dress of his spiritual master in the grave
 156

upon his chest. And a wooden bowl to put at his headside.

Beads in his finger. Staff and foot sandals at his side.
Death: 32 years after the death of his spiritual master, he
left this mortal world on 18th Ramadan in the year 757
Hijri. In the room, Hazrat used to live; his tomb was built
there. There will be celebration of his annual death
anniversary. His final resting place is visited by general
and special persons in large numbers.
His caliphs: There are many of the caliphs, but some of
the famous caliphs are mentioned as follows:.
Khaja Bande Nawaz Syed Mohammed Gesu Daraz,
Shaikh Kamaluddin (his sisters’s son), Maqdum Jahnain
Jahan Gasht. Hazrat Shaikh Saderuddin Tayeb Dulha,
Syed Mohammed Jafer al-Mulki Hussaini, Moulana
Alauddin Sindalavi, Moulna Khajgi, Moulana Ahmed
Thanasari, Moinuddin Khurd, Qazi Abdul Muqtadar bin
Qazi Rukanuddin, Qazi Mohammed Shadi, Maqdum
Shaikh Sulaiman Rudalvi, Shaikh Mohammed
Mutawakil, Shaikh Danial alias Moulana Awad, Maqdum
Shaikh Qwamuddin.
Some of his teachings are as follows:
Attributes of the Peer: Oh, Darwesh, on the mystic way,
such a person is called Peer, one who has usage of the
innermost of the disciple. And for each second and minute
to find difficulties and problems of the disciples and solve
 157

them. And to clear the mirror of the innermost and

behind.
Duties of the disciples: The true disciple is called such a
person as one who will obey the order of the peer. And
what he will show to him, then he will see in this matter.
Think each and every time about the presence of the peer.
He should tell his peer whatever comes through, good and
bad, in his heart. If there are any bad thoughts in his heart
about his peer, then he is not a true disciple.
The capital of the fakir person is endeavor. And what
should be the true heart? And not with the aim that
mankind should think of him as a worshipper and ascetic
or a person of endeavors.? But these endeavors should be
required, especially for the sake of Allah. When
endeavors are done with sincerity, then they will be
fruitful. And Allah will reach disciple, the final
destination.
Real work: Hazrat has said, “Original work is to
safeguard the soul. In the revelation, it is compulsory for a
Sufi person to stop his breathing so that he can find the
peace of the innermost. When he takes breath, then his
innermost will be worried and find the defect therein.
Sayings: One of the Hazrat’s sayings is as follows.
1. In all deeds, there is required pure intention.
 158

2. The loaf of the business is a good loaf.

3. To the extent mystic person will get knowledge of
Allah, then to such extent he will be away from relations.
4.Darwesh should not disclose to an unrelated person his
needs if hunger will prevail upon him.
5.In the demand of the world, if there is a good intention,
then it will be deemed the demand of the other world in
reality.
6.Sama is the cure of sympathetic persons, as there will be
a cure of illness of the manifest, and in the same way, for
pain of the innermost, there is no other cure than Sama.
Daily recitals: Some of the daily recitals shown by him
are as follows.
1. For the love of Allah, he said to recite 5 times verse
Amma after the Asar supererogatory prayer.
2. For the eye sight: To perform two rakats after Eisha
prayer and in every rakat to recite ‘Enna Ataina’
three times after verse Fataha. In prostoration, recite
the following:
“Mustaqni besamihi wa basri wajalaha al-waris.”
Some of his miracles: One Azuddin was present in his
presence. Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi has written
 159

something on the paper. Azuddin was given the paper to

present at the tomb of Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya.
Azuddin wanted to read it but he did not read the paper.
He thought first to present paper in the tomb of Hazrat
Nizmuddin Auliya, then he would read it later. Upon
presentation of the paper, when he looked at the paper, it
was clear. And there was no writing on it.
Sultan Mohammed bin Tughlaq was departing from Delhi
to Thatta, and he took the learned and holy people of
Delhi along with him. He wants to take Hazrat Chiragh
Dehlavi. He said, “During the journey of the Sultan taking
him, which is not auspicous for him as he will not return
in safe and secure condition.” So it was happening like
this. Due to his prayer, Feroz Shah became the Sultan of
the Dehli kingdom.
In the last days of the life of Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh
Dehlavi, there began coming a good smell from the body,
just like the smell of the body of Hazrat Nizamuddin
Auliya.

sitting there at the door and began writing some couplets.
And he began thinking that if Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya
is a perfect holy person, then he will reply to his couplets.
And he will call him inside.
Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya told his servant to go
and recite his two couplets before the boy who was sitting
at the door. When he heard these couplets, he
immediately went inside in the presence of Khaja
Nizamuddin and was blessed with his pledge. And there

understand anything or are only weeping?” He replied,
“He is weeping because he could not understand
anything." Hazrat Qalandar Sahib was happy to hear his
reply, and he has accepted gift items sent by Sultan
Alauddin Khilji.
His title : One day there came the thought in his mind that
his title is like people of the world. And if it would be
good if it was connected with fakir persons. He has told
his spiritual master on this matter. And Hazrat
Nizamuddin Auliya told him that in the other world you
will be called the title of the ‘Mohammed Kasa Lais.’
His final advice: The words that were spoken, the words
of favor and affection by the tongue of his spiritual
master, which were written by him on paper and put on
his neck like a talisman. He has made the final advice to
put this paper on which the phrases written should be
buried in his grave with him. So the paper should be the
source of his salvation.

very much in fondness and interest. In spite of his service,
he has been fasting for a period of 40 years for 12 months.

devotion for his spiritual master. And he has reached the
degree of “Fana Fi Allah (the real term in Sufism is
 165

“Fana Fi Allah,” which means “complete and absolute

surrender of self too."
When he will be in Delhi, he used to spend most of the
time in the presence of his spiritual master. One day a
person came in the presence of Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi. He
has seven daughters. He wants to marry them. He needs
some monetary help from Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya. But
by chance, in the shrine building, there was nothing
except his wooden sandals there. That person came there
with great hope from him. He was given those sandals.
But that person was not happy. He went from Delhi and
stayed in one carwan sarai. Amir Khusro was also staying
in that sarai with his lot of goods on his onward journey to
Delhi. He smelled the fragrance of his spiritual master in
the sarai building. He began wandering in the sarai to find
out who came there from Delhi. When he met with that
person, he asked about the well-being of his spiritual
master. The person in the conversation has mentioned the
wooden sandals of the spiritual master. He has taken the
wooden sandals and given all of his goods to that person.

head. And in this way he went in the presence of his
spiritual master in Delhi.

Mahboob Ilahi used to love him very much. Once he told
him, “Khusro, I used to be upset with all people but not
 166

upset with you.” One time he said also, “I used to be upset

with all people, even with myself, but not upset with
you.”
His spiritual master gave him the title of ‘Turk Allah’. On
one occasion he said, “I did not put his step in heaven
without Amir Khushro." If there will be permission to
bury two people together in one grave, then there will be
my permission to bury him in my grave.”
On one occasion he said, “On the day of judgment, there
will be asked with each and every person what you
brought there, and then he will say there that he has
brought Turk Allah.” Hazrat used to say, “Oh Allah, give
salvation for sake of the pain of the chest of Turk Allah.”
Once he had objections for ancient people, and for
replying Khamsa Nizami, he said one couplet in the
Persian language. At that time, one nake sword came
upon his head. He has asked for help from Baba Farid and
Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. Then came one sword, which
cut the sleeve of his shirt, and swrod vanished away. He
was safe in this matter. He went in the presence of Khaja
Nizamuddin and wanted to give him details. Hazrat has
shown him the sleeve, so he put his head on the earth by
his sincerity.
Poetry: He has said couplets less than 5 lakhs and more
than 4 lakhs. At the age of 9 years old, he has written one
 167

elegy on the death of his father. He wrote many couplets

in praise of Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya.
Hazrat Sadi Shirazi came to India from Iran to meet
with him.
Once there was found an excellence of meeing Hazrat
Khizer. He has requested that he give his saliva to him.
Hazrat Khizer told him that the felicity came in the share
of Shaikh Saadi. He has told this to Hazrat Mahboob
Ilahi. Hazrat has put his saliva into his mouth. And due to
the blessing of it, there was much popularity of his poetry
among the people to such an extent that it was not found
by anybody like him.

He and Moulana Saderuddin Naveli used to live together,

and both of them studied with Moulana Saderuddin.
When there was a holiday, he and Moulana Saderuddin
went to the river Jamuna at Ghaspur for the washing of
the clothes. He used to hear that Hazrat Nizamuddin is a
famous holy personality. And hear stories of his greatness
and miracles. He used to hear that city’s great persons,
leanred, and holy persons used to go in presence and kiss
his feet.
One day he and Moualana Saderuddin Novli went to

decided to go in the presence of Hazrat Niazamuddin
Auliya and to see how he has gained knowledge. When
we will reach in his presence will not prostrate on the
earth and will not kiss his feet. But as per Islamic
customs, they will say salam to him and sit there.
Upon this discussion, and with strange thinking, he and

Saderuddin’s look falls on the face of light Hazrat
Nizamuddin Auliya. When there was an effect of fear and
horror of magnifiacne that both of them have put their
heads on the earth in this matter.

time, he asked them, Are they living in the city? And both
 170

of them said yes, living in the city. And then he has asked
whether you read something.? And yes, we discussed the
book Bazavi with Moulana Zaheeruddin.

about section Bazavi, which they have studied, but both
of them could not reply in this matter as well as this
question was not solved with Moulana Zaheeruddin. Both
of them were surprised very much, and both of them told
with respect and humility that “Our master this problem
was left to solve, and our teacher Moualana Zaheeruddin
used to say in this matter that he will do research in this
matter and solve it.”
Upon hearing this, Hazrat Nizmuddin smiled and put so
much light in this matter and that both were satisfied and
happy. And at the time of return, Hazrat Nizamuddin was
given one pyjama to Moulana Shamsuddin and Turban to
Moulana Sader Uddin.

Upon his caliphs who are successful in all places. And on

evening. And no doubt to call towards Allah, who is alone
with his slaves in this matter, which is the great aim of the
Islamic religion. And firm attachment with faith as
strongly as stated in the Hadith of the prophet of Allah.
”There is swear in the personality in whose hands there is
the life of Mohammed. If you like, I will tell you by
swearing that Allah likes such slaves among all of his
slaves who will make Allah dear to them and make slaves
of Allah dear to Allah. And by walking on the earth, give
advice and teach pious deeds. Allah has praised such
slaves in this matter. And those who pray, “Oh, our Allah,
make coolers of our eyes from wives and our sons." And
make us guides of pious persons.”
Also, Allah made it is obligatory for the slaves to follow
the prophet of Allah. He said, "Oh Mohammed, say, oh
people, this is my way." I call you toward Allah. Myself
and my people are on an insight and who are my
followers. And without following the prophet, checking
 173

and following their sayings and deeds. And the existence

of their hearts by clearing and by the finding except of
Allah. And to get disconnected from all and to go toward
Allah, otherwise they could not find aim.”

he should follow the prophet of Allah, engage in
obedience and worship, and keep his soul safe from
sensual desires and dangers. And keep away from the

Abrar 6. Lataif al-Haq 7. Asmail al-Rival 8. Madaraj al-
Nabwa 9. Jama Barkat 10. Takmil al-Eman
His teaching of Hadith: He said in the term of all
Muhadiths there will be application of the Hadith upon
prophets saying and doing as well as speech. The
certification of any Hadith that will reach the prophet is
called Marfuf. And which will reach the companion is
called Maoquf. The certification of Tabain (the first
generation of Muslims are called the companions of
Muhammad.) The second generation of Muslims are
called tābi‘ūn "successors." The third generation, called
Tabi‘ū al-tabi'īn ("successors of the Successors), is called
maqtuh. A person who is engaged with Hadith is called
Muhadith, and one who is engaged with history is called
Akhbari.
Kinds of Hadiths: There are three kinds: Shaz, Munkar,
and Muatal. In real life, there are three kinds of Hadiths:
1.Sahih 2.Hasan 3.Zaif (weak)
Narrator (Ravi): He said if the narrator of a Sahi Hadith

there are more narrators and they enter the category of
unlimited, which will be termed as Adat Mahal. An
agreement for such falsehood is called Hadith Mutwatir.
Six books: Those six books, which are famous, are
prescribed, and are called ‘Sahah Sitta’. Their names are
Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Jama Tirmizi, Sanin Abu
Dawood, Nesai, and Sunin Ibj Maja, and as per some
persons, in place of Ibn Maja is Mouta Imam Malik.
Straight path: He said for students there is a required
way of safety, and for students sabil (way out) of firmness
is that he should think illegal for consideration of
philosophy. He should avoid a large number of arguments
in speech and close doors of controversy, people of the
arguments, war, and battle.
The belief of the people of Sunnah and Jamat is sufficient
upon the arguments of all persons. And engage in
following it. As for wisdom in the dealings of Islamic law
and the orders of the book and Sunnah, think as deposed.
And not make manqul (reported) under maqul
(reasonable) and keep away from tawil (interpretation)
and tashkik (raising doubts). And not to go out of the
circle of faith and trust. And should not confirm his
wisdom of incable and incomplete insight.
 212

Conformity of Sunnah and Islamic law and Sufism:

There should be no thinking that Sufism is against the
religion of Islamic law as well as the book and Sunnah.
God forbid, in both groups there is no main difference.
There is no any kind of disparity in both of them. It is
special and brief that the Sufi people of this nation are in
manifest and innermost are the people of the light of
Sunnah and openers of veils of reality. In the mystic way,
in act and in condition, and in research of meaning in
found certification, and in sincerity, are sure to know the
decive of the soul to know information and data of
abstinence, manners, and civilization in which are unique.
Except purification of the manifest and innermost, privacy
of the heart, and purification of the soul, and in which
among them no one could not go ahead of them. As for
him in deeds, conditions, manners, position, rapture and
fondness, points, signs, but all perfections that helped him
and which were not given to any group in this matter.
Some of his sayings are as follows.
1. Good luck, success, higher fate, and good fortune are
signs of the meeting of the holy persons.
2. Usually, due to a sense of honor and respect, a person
will live in a valley of peace and good luck.
 213

3. To sit without thinking and not take work with the

power of wisdom is also a matter of worse and cause of
loss of the power.
4. Not to give value to grace, which is the cause of anger
of Allah.
5. To keep care of one thing and to get it perfectly and
beside it, which will cause a loss of it.
6. Peace of heart is in oneness with God, and difficulty
and troubles are in here in more.
7.The worst thing is sitting among unwise people. In this
matter, unwise, in my opinion, is that person who has no
grief of the perfection and no regret for his condition.
8. The love of the world and faith in wisdom and
obedience are causes of infidelity and deviation from the
right path.
Recitals (Wazaif) religious chanting: He used to recite
this blessing as follows:.
“Alla humma sale ala Syedna Mohammed bada kulli
zarati alaf alaf marra.” Its translation and interpretation is
"Oh, pure Allah, pour down graces equal to all particles
on Hazrat Mohammed at many thousands times upon
him.”
 214

He has said that knowledge, power, and mercy are three

attributes of Allah. The student who is seeking aim and
for which he is must pay attention toward these three
attributes and get grace. But getting a look at these
attributes is not meant to put trouble in his habits.
He has said, “To look in the direction of oneness of Allah
and his remembrance and say, ‘La Illah Illa Mohammed
rasul Allah’. And with perfection engaged in its
repetition. And engrossed in this memory of Allah. After
that, have only engagement of remembrance of ‘La Illah
Illa Mohammed rasul Allah, and if possible, he himself
firm on this and agree for this, and from there will be no
left phrase of Mohammed, and I could not leave Zikar of
the prophet. And I could stay on words of ‘La Illah Illa’
as the light of the prophet is in light of ‘La Illah Illa’.
There will be an increase in the perfection and beauty of
the person in remembrance of the prophet.

matter.? and with this engagement work, he was not able
to get his aim. He has left that engagement work.
Meeting with Majzub (dauntless person): During his
youth period, he became the lover and devotee of one boy
of Khatri (Khatri is a caste originating from the Malwa
and Majha areas of the Punjab region of South Asia that is
predominantly found in India but also in Pakistan and
Afghanistan). The Khatris claim they are warriors who
took to trade. But that boy did not pay any attention or
care toward him in this matter. In the city there used to
live one Majzub person, and about him it was said that
when he accepted anything from a person, then his work
would be completed in that matter. He took some sweet
crackers with him and went near him. That Majzub
accepted his sweet crackers. On the second day, when he
 217

went near that boy, the boy sat him near him and was
done much favor to him. There was another effect of his
favor upon him. And his heart was disgusted by that boy.
Hazrat began to go in the presence of Majzub. One day,
Majzub called near him, and he sat upon keeping his head
on his thigh. When Majzub woke from his sleep, there
was rapture upon him. He felt the manifestation of special
changes upon him. When he went in the presence of
Majzub, and that Majzub felt danger from him. And he sat
near him and told him. ”If you want this type of fire and I
have with me much, But there is water with Yahiah
Madni. Go in his presence.”

sitting in the oasis. Hazrat Yahiah Madni was given an
order to one person to bring one person, and his name is
Kalim, who is out of the city, in a caravan of travelers.
That person went and called there, but nobody replied. He
heard the call, but he thinks that the person is calling
some other person. So he kept silent. That person came
back and told Hazrat Yahiah Madni there seemed to be no
person by such a name. I have called, but no one replied.
Hazrat Yahiah Madni told that person to call with the
name of Kalimallah Shah Jahanabadi. That person was
 218

done like this. When he was heard calling, then he was

sure that the person was calling him, so he replied and
was accompanied by him and reached in the presence of
the blessing of Hazrat Yahiah Madni. He recited one rubai
(rubai in English (ruːˈbɑːɪ) noun. a verse form of Persian

He said for the student of reality he should be a Sufi-
learned person and leave the world at all times. He should
be in the attention of Allah in the higher grade status and
the attraction of the Sunnah of the Prophet. He should be
in search of Hadith and the effects of the companions.
For the need of an explanation and speech of the Hadith
and effect with the help of research scholars of
jurisprudents who are interested in Hadiths. From the
speech of the people of faith who have added matters of
faith from Sunnah.And which are specters in the
argument of wisdom and without necessity and from the
speech of people with mysticism who are comprehensive
of knowledge and Sufism. And who are the people not
oppressing their souls? And not doers of difficulties upon
the Sunnah of the prophet by proceeding further. And not
sit in the company. But they attach the people who have
the above manners with them.
 246

hearing, and its reality is that the soul demands revenge,

wishes or sinful bad desires. Fourth is judgment, which is

 272

“Husbna lahu nemat wakil.” (There is sufficient promise

of Allah.)
Hazrat, as per the order of the spiritual master, was
reached to Delhi and was engaged in guidance in the right
way.
His spiritual master gave him the following advice, which
is as follows.
1. Always keep your innermost connection safe.”
2.Busy with presence and attention.
3.In all times and conditions, do not leave your memory.”
4. In all deeds, follow the Sunnah of the prophet.

and perform all pillars of worship in perfect prayer
without adjustment of another recital and Azkar
(repetitions of the names and praises of God, recitals) and
reading of the Quran, blessing, astagfar (asking
forgiveness from God), and entrusting all matters to
Allah.
6.The aim of the method of the mystic way is decoration
of manners. There should be attention towards Allah
always. So that there will be helplessness, humility and
sincerity should be there always.
 273

His manifesto should be a must for following the Sunnah

of the prophet. And his innmost may be from
disobedience to Allah. There should be attention towards
Allah always.
7. Whatever there will be income from an invisible source
that will be spent on the relatives and other balance
amounts to be given to poor people.
Death: Hazrat went to Makkah and Madina in the year

Biography: He will not upset from severty and
bitterness. He was proud of indigence and hunger. Hazrat
used to follow the order of his spiritual master strictly. He
was a great, learned person. He was Darwesh and a
person of the miracles.
Fondness of knowledge: His book ‘Hidayat Talibin’ is a
memorable book of knowledge.
 274

Teachings: Students can be greatly benefitted by his

teachings.
The difference between the names of Zahir and Batin.
Hazrat said the difference between the name of Zahir and
Batin is that in the walk of the name of Zahir (manifest),
there will be prevail Safati Tajilat (an attribute of
brillance) without concern of the name of the personality.
Even in the walk of name of innermost in which there will
be find brillance of attributes of name of personality. But
sometimes the personality of the high and holy will come
into observation.
Favorite perfection, prophethood.
He said the Hazrat Peer in the month of Zeqad has paid
attention to the element of the dust slave. And favor the
perfection of the prophethood. (It means perpetual
brilliance of personality) sent on my latifa (level). For this
position and its knowledge and fields of knowledge are
only this that all knowledges and fields should be
diminished. All conditions of the innermost will become
unidentified. And in this place there will be colorlessness
and unwell conditions, which are the gain of the time.
There will be power of all kinds in the faith and belief.
And the reason for knowledge will become evident. And
followers of this status are followers of the religious law
of the prophets. In this status, there will be a width and
 275

size of the innermost. And stainliness, which will be

increased as such that its thickness and girth as such, and
in its aspect of connection only nothing, and there is
tightness and tightness and nothing in this matter.
Diarat Haqiqat Salah (reality of the prayer): In the
middle of the circle, Hazrat’s personality of perfection
and width was observed. That place’s width and height,
which is very difficult to mention. But know this much
reality that the Quran is part of it, and the second part is
Haqiat (reality) of Kaaba. It is difficult to describe its
place event and condition’s attribute.In this place, Hazrat
is in revelation of the middle and its perfection and width.
Any salik (student) who has learned from this holy reality
and is like that at the time of performing the prayer will
leave this world and enter the other world. As per the
narration of hereafer, he will get a condition equal to it.
At the time of saying takbir, lift his two hands from both
worlds. And by putting both worlds at the backside and
making the slogan of Allaho Akbar. And he will present
in the court of Sultan a standard of high status and against
the court of horror and greatness by thinking himself
mean and nothing and will sacrifice upon the real
beloved. And by recitation’s endowed existence, which is
suitable for this status. By speaking, he will talk with the
personality of reality and address Hazrat in this matter,
and his tongue will become like the saintly line of the
 276

prophet Musa. When go in genuflexion, then if it will be

purpose-degree attention, then surely, with much
nearness, he will come to the superior.
At the time of Prasie, he will face a special condition.
Then uncessarily prasing, and he will perform Qauma.
Return to an upright position with your arms by your
sides. He will then stand again at the side in the presence
of the personality of reality.
To do Quma (go back to an upright position with your
arms by your sides). As per my defective wisdom, the
secret is that now he has the intention to procreate from
prostoraion. So then going from Qiyam (standing to
prosotration). And from bowing to prostoration, for this
connection to go there is much sincerity and honesty.
At the time performing the prostoration, there will be a
special nearness found, which cannot be described in this
matter. And for its understanding, wisdom is in helpless
condition. It seems that the prayer’s brief is that
prostorations only, as we should be able to get nearness to
him.
In the previous crime of the sitting position, he will ask
for forgiveness. “Allah humma aghfirli wa arhamni.”
Then again, for the demand of nearness, he will go again
in provocation and after that in sitting in Tushad. The
Tashahhud (Arabic: ‫ ُّهد‬rrrrrrrr‫ َت َش‬, meaning "testimony
 277

[of faith]"), also known as at-Tahiyyat (Arabic: ‫)ٱلتَّ ِحيَّات‬,

is the portion of the Muslim prayer where the
person kneels or sits on the ground facing
the Qibla (direction of Mecca), glorifies God, and
greets Muhammad and the "righteous servants of God,"
followed by the two testimonials. And thanks and
obligation of the grace of nearness of Allah in the court of
Allah.
The reason for the Islamic creed’s dealing is to certify the
unity of God and prophethood. And which is not possible
without it.
Then he will recite blessings on the prophet because, by
his intercession, he can get all graces in this matter.
The blessing of prophet Abrahim, which was adopted
because at the time of performing the prayer to get
loneliness with the real beloved. And as well as to a
special sitting. And special companionship, which was the
share of the prophet Abrahim. Due to the blessing of
Darood, he is demanding the sitting of a companion and
friend in this matter.
Sayings
1.Upon following or leaving, then man will find human
nature.
 278

2.Acting upon determination will establish connection of

ownership.
3.When there will be favor without purpose to any person,
then it will reach him in the presence of any of his friends.
4. The person who will not find by sagacity and to giving
him glad tidings and saying congratulations is like that to
blame method of fakirs and spread blame for their
connections.
Miracle: After 40 days, his coffin was brought to Delhi
from Tonk. When it was opened, it was seen that just now
there was given a funeral bath to him. There was no
change. The cotton that was placed under the funeral in
which was coming fragrance.

THE END.
