Glories
of His Holiness
It is by deeds, words and conduct a Sufi
lives an ethical example. They attempt to bridge the big gap
between orthodoxy and religion of faith and devotion. They
won the hearts of the people by their love and liberalism,
sincerity of purpose, charity, piety and social service. They
exercised considerable influence on Kings, officials and nobles
for the welfare of the people.
The mission of Sufis saints has been
"to make the man a perfect human being!" As the Prophet (SAW)
says, "I have sent you to make a perfect mankind."
His Holiness said:
"To call the people towards Allah Tala (God) and to
show righteous way to them is the way of the Prophets."
Experience in dealings with cross sections
of people endowed His Holiness, Mehboob-e-Elahi a deep insight
into human nature. His Holiness spiritual knowledge (Ilme-ladduni)
was vast and very deep. Even the Ulema, (known for their enmity
towards Sufis) were amazed at his discourses. His Holiness
was the master of the Sufi method of instruction by the use
of ancedote.
Since the dawn of history, India has
been the cradle of religious movements. The Indo-Muslim strands
have woven into the texture of India’s national existence:
a new design of composite secular culture, by intervening
the threads of the Bhakti Marg with the Islamic Sufi (Mystic)
traditions. Thus created a new intercultural secular synthesis
in which the values of mankind reflected a new ethos.
His Holiness, Sultan-ul-Mashaikh was
impressed by all religions which showed a common non-discriminatory
attitude. Although His Holiness main concern was to ameliorate
the conditions of Muslims along with the concern and care
for Hindus. To His Holiness, Islam was not an empty round
of prayers and ritual, but a highly ethical code and a way
of life.
The contacts of Hindu Yogis in Baba Farid’s
(R.A) Khanqah left an indelible mark on His Holiness mind.
This made His Holiness open to all religions!
Once His Holiness was strolling with
Hazrat Amir Khusro (R.A) on the roof of his Jamat Khana from
where he sighted a group of Hindus worshiping. Greatly impressed
with their devotion he remarked to Khurso:
"Every community has got a way, a religion and sacred
place to worship."
Forbearance and peaceful relations between
people were qualities which the His Holiness constantly thought.
His Holiness Jamat Khana was open to all-Yogis, Sadhus, Qalanders
and others.
Hazrat Amir Khusro (R.A) says that the
faith and belief of Hindus and Mulims are similar. Both believe
in Oneness of Allah Tala (God). The Existence, the Eternity
of God. And also Allah Tala (God) Power to create all after
death.
His Holiness said that the Sufis believe
that Allah Tala (God) reveals His Secrets to His lovers. God
gives insight to His lovers, so that they understand the reality
of the whole universe. This increases their intensity of love
to such an extent that they yearn to see Almighty Allah Tala
(God) and forget everything else! Knowledge of the divine
mysteries can be attained through love and lovers participate
in the life of God and see Him. The lover of God is gifted
with peerless, remarkable, divine attributes and mysterious
godly powers are also showered upon him. He can raise the
dead. He can cut the moon into two pieces. He can make the
sun rise from the west. But these are the secrets which wise
men cannot conceive. Love alone, can make man understand the
secrets of Allah Tala (God). Wisdom and intellect cannot!
His Holiness, Mehboobe-e-Elahi loving
personality, depth of his teachings and spiritual rhythms,
were highly appreciated by his contemporaries. In Ahmedabad,
Daulatabad, Nagore, Maner, Ouch, Pandwa and everywhere His
Holiness was highly respected. Hazrat Shaikh Ahmed Maghrabi
(R.A) used to read and listen His Holiness teachings whole
heartedly!
Hazrat Shaikh Ruknuddin Abul Fatah Multani
(R.A) adored His Holiness. Hazrat Jalaluddin Bukhari Makhdoom
Jahania (R.A) use to bow his head as a mark of respect. Hazrat
Shaikh Makhdoom Jahan Sharfuddin Ahmad Yahya Manesi (R.A)
of Firdausi Order use to say in his assemblies, that His Holiness,
Hazrat Mehboob-e-Elahi stands in that pinnacle of state, that,
for him awakening and sleeping has no distinct. Hence this
state is the supernatural and can be achieved only by Allah’s
grace!
Hazrat Amir Khusro (R.A) his dearest
disciple said that His Holiness existence is not created by
mud and water but it is created by kneading the elements of
Khizer and Maseeh.
The Heads of the other Orders of Sufism
viz Maghrabi, Abul Ulai, Firdausi, Suharwardi etc., all praised
His Holiness great personality and glory.
Hazrat Amir Khusro (R.A) on the glory
of His Holiness said that:
"Like the coverage of the blue sky the blessings of
my Mehboob-e-Elahi (R.A) sheltered both friends and foe."
"On JINS and INS (human beings)
Ruled Nizamuddin Mehboob-e-Elahi."
Hazrat Mir Khurd says:
"Muslims, Hindus, Christains and Sikhs all make the
dust of His Holiness darbar as the crown of their heads."
