Dear Mr. Mohammed Abdul Hafeez,
Thank you for sending us the details of your recent
record proposal for 'The world record of translation of two
episodes We are afraid to say that we are unable to accept this
as a Guinness World Record.
The details of two episodes
Owaise of Qarni.
Tipu Sultan.
Unfortunately, we do already have a record for this category
and what you have achieved does not better this. The current
world record is:
A six page document entitled Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, produced by the United Nations in 1948, was translated
into 321 languages and dialects from Abkhaz to Zulu.
We realize that this will be disappointing to you. However, we
have considered your application carefully in the context of the
specific subject area and that of records as a whole and this is
our decision.Guinness World Records have absolute discretion
as to which Guinness World Record applications are accepted
 4

and our decision is final. Guinness World Records may at its

discretion and for whatever reason identify some records as
either no longer monitored by Guinness World Records or no
longer viable.
As your record application has not been accepted, Guinness
World Records is in no way associated with the activity relating
to your record proposal and we in no way endorse this activity.
If you choose to proceed with this activity then this is will be of
your own volition and at your own risk.

Once again thank you for your interest in Guinness World

Records.

My three poems

Please find my three poems which are as follows and these

are well known and famous since my college days and which
were already published in the A.U. College Magazine of
Hyderabad and now I have added these poems in this book.
The Taj Mahal

In the darkness of night

I visited the tomb of white
Full beautiful in the glorious moon light
Shah Jahan’s love and Mumtaz’s beauty
Making fun of today’s love and poverty
 15

No-one leaves without feelings of beauty

After seeing the Taj Mahal’s majesty
The Taj was reminding me the duty of love
And showing the king’s power of love
Even today in the darkness of strife
The Taj is preaching a lesson of love and life.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
-------------------------------------------------------
In Thy memory

Her death day came with the fragrance of loving memories

Which shaken the depth of our saddest loving memories
Even the seasonal changes and other worldly affairs
Could not diminish away her saddest loving memories
Due to the saddest grief, our souls are broken
We are worldly losers and our hearts are broken
Oh : her saddest memories you must not die
Guide us to cover the deliverances of the world
Oh : the heavenly Lord takes Thou care of this beloved soul
Who never faced any worldly peace and pleasure.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
------------------------------------------------------
The Dim flame

When the flame of her life was going to dim

No one of us not there to say goodbye
It is how painful for our whole lives
That we cannot see her at death time
Death is sure for every human beings
 16

But how her strange death was indeed?

Her loving relatives were far from her
And they cannot reach for the last visit
We should believe in the heavenly Lord
Who made our vast and great human land
Sure, she has gained a position in the grave land
so, We should not worry Allah is great and known.
By Mohammed Abdul Hafeez, B. Com.
======================================

The author wept very much at the Kazipet grave yard

The author upon his return from his service of the foreign
country visited Qazipet after a gap of many years the grave of
his grandfather and grandmother at Qazipet recently in the
month of May 2014.
When he visited the grave of his grandfather, which is under a
big Neem tree and its shed is spread over large areas of the
graveyard and my grandmother’s grave is situated beside the
grave of my grandfather. Both graves are well maintained so
are available in the good condition.
As the both graves are under the big old Neem tree so there is
too much shade as well as so much cold and peaceful
atmosphere and comfort is available there. So an atmosphere
of peace and comfort is available there too much due to the
coolness of the branches of Neem tree which is prevailing in
the grave yard. For this reason an atmosphere of coolness
 17

and peace condition is there and due to this reason there will
be thinking arise in the mind of the author that both of them
living in the peaceful condition.
However the author wept too much there because his
grandfather who was administrator of the shrine of Kazipet
for many years and his grandmother who lived in Kazipet
village for many years and she did many endeavour there and
she helped many needy women and children there so now
both of them are buried in the graveyard of Kazipet shrine
and nobody is not there in the village to visit them from their
lineage but many unknown visitors are visiting their graves
there and the author have personally seen many flowers on
the graves which were placed by those unknown persons.

Connection of the author’s family members with Kazipet

When my grand dad Sheikh Dadan reached Kazipet Jagir on

his transfer from another place and he was attracted by the
teachings of Sufi Center at Kazipet Jagir during the period of
Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani Radi Allahu anhu the
successor and son of great Sufi master Hazrat Syed Shah Afzal
Biabani Radi Allahu anhu. When my grand dad became his
disciple and he left immediately the following things.
1 .He left his superior job in the police department. 2. He left
his native place of Medak. 3. He left his big house in Medak.
Due to the kindness and favour of Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam
Biabani Radi Allahu anhu my granddad had got the job of
estate administrator of Dargah Sharif and a plot of land of
1000 yards from the center of Kazipet village. On this plot my
 18

granddad had constructed a big house (Gulshan Manzil) on

500 yards and one big garden on 500 yards.

Bio, links of the author

My name is Mohammed Abdul Hafeez and I have graduated in

commerce from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India. I am a
Translator of Islamic books and interested in Sufi books and
have translated 58 chapters from the famous Sufi book
‘Tadkiratal Awliya’ by Farid El din Attar in the year 2009 from
Urdu to English and some chapters of the book were
published on the below web site and due to kind grace and
help of Allah there is good response from its readers in large
numbers on so many web sites.
The book ‘Muslims Saints and Mystics’ was already published
by A. S. Noordeen Malaysia and in this book available 55
episodes in the year 2013 and another book Muslims Saints
and Mystics also published by Kindle, Amazon U. S. A., and in
this book lengthy three episodes are available in the year

I am a retired secretary and worked in a Gulf country for
many years and having one son and his name is Mohammed

Salimnagar colony Hyderabad and at K.B.N. Engineering
college Gulbega and he is an IT Engineer and working abroad .

educational institutions.1. Mohammed Sulaiman 2.

I enjoy doing translation of Sufi works and my translated first
episode are available with the following publication note of
Mr. David Rosenbaum of New York Times which is available
on the above mentioned famous U.S.A. website.
At Kazipet Jagir my dad, Mohammed Afzal and my brother
Mohammed Abdus Samad and Me Mohammed Abdul Hafeez
and my sister Meher Unisa were born there. In Qazipet my
father married to Akthar Begum, daughter of Mr. Abdul
Majeed of Bidar district who was working at that time in the
education department as an education officer. After many
years of service at Qazipet Dargah Sharif (shrine ) with great
fame and good name my grand dad passed away and upon his
death our big house was deserted as all members of our
family migrated to Hyderabad and some other places, but my
grand mom stayed in the big lonely house with her
maidservant as she never thinks to leave the place of his great
Sufi master. Upon living many years there she had been
shifted to Hyderabad when she became ill due to the fracture
of her foot, but due to her great love for the great Sufi Center
at Kazipet upon her death, we had taken her dead body to
Kazipet from Hyderabad and she was buried at the back side
of the tomb of her Murshid (spiritual master) Syed Shah
Sarwar Biabani. R. A.
During the 1986 I had tried my best to re-settle my family
members from Hyderabad to Kazipet Jagir but I was not
 20

successful in this matter as my son's (Mohammed Abdul Wasi

Rabbani) application for admission in St. Gabriel school Fatima
Nagar was not accepted there due to late submission. We are
staying in Hyderabad with our family members, but we never
miss any chance to visit the holy shrine of Hazrat Syed Shah
Afzal Biabani R. A. And Hazrat Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani R.A.
At Kazipet Jagir on regular basis.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

An event of the theft during the service of period of my

grandfather at Kazipet shrine

During the period of Syed Shah Ghulam Afzal Biyabani this

event was happening. At that time there was a grant of
Rupees fifty towards the salaries of the staff of Noban Khana
(the place from where time is announced by the beat of the
drum) in which there were some staff members used to work
there and it was headed by the supervisor. By the government
of H.E.H.The Nizam of Hyderabad there was every month the
royal grant which was used to reach to the custodian of the
Qazipet shrine through the supervisor from the government
treasury. From there it will reach to the administrator of the
estate and who will used to distribute the amount of salaries
to all concerned staff.
As per reference by Tufazal Hussain advocate that one
month the supervisor of Nobat Khana who was obtained the
amount of Rupees fifty towards the salaries from the Royal
treasury office and he was fled to Hyderabad. But in the
shrine building the staff members were waiting for him to
 21

receive their salaries from him and but at last they were able
to know that the supervisor was fled from Qazipet and he was
reached to Hyderabad.
At that time the custodian of the shrine of Kazipet was in
Hyderabad. So the estate administrator Sheikh Dadan, who
was grandfather of the translator of this book was informed
the details of this case to Tufazal Hussain advocate and this
event was mentioned by Syed Khaja Sadat Hussain Biyabani in
his Urdu book ‘Lemat Biyabani’ (This book was already
translated by me with the title of Biographyof Hazrat Syed
Shah Ghulam Afzal Biabani and has been posted by in the
paperback and electronic book formats on amazon.com)
and he was mentioned the details of this event on the pages
110-111 of his book and he was requested to take action
against the supervisor of the police department. In his reply
Tufazal Hussain advocate wrote him that as the custodian of
the shrine is present in Hyderabad and if we start action
against him, so due to kindness if the culprit will be forgiven
by him then it will be not proper in this matter to initiate the
case against him. So it is better to take the approval of the
action from the custodian of the shrine first so that it is
proper to take further action in this matter.
It was learnt by me that the estate administrator Sheikh
Dadan was sent the letters by the post to Hyderabad for the
kind perusal of the shrine custodian there.
The estate administrator Sheikh Dadan who is the grandfather
of this translator and in whose memory this event was
especially translated from the following book for the
information of the readers of the International Internet
 22

Libraries in U.S.A. especially for the readers of these two

websites as follows. www.calmeo.com and www.scribd.com
Upon this it was happened that supervisor of Nobat Khana
after spending of the amount was reached to see the
custodian and he told him all details in this matter and he
requested him to forgive his mistake and he made loud and
cry in this matter and he requested him to allow him to join
back in his post.
It was learnt later that the custodian of the shrine was kept
the supervisor at his residence in Hyderabad for a period of
three days. During that period the letters of the Estate
Administrator and the advocate was reaching for him. Upon
this he was given the travel expenses from Hyderabad to
Kazipet to the supervisor of the Nobat Khana and was sent
him from Hyderabad to Kazipet and he was given the
instruction to the estate administrator which is as follows.
“ That the supervisor was presented in his service and he
ashamed of his bad deed so he was forgiven his mistake in
this matter.So you also forgive him and allow him to join on
his duty. Otherwise, he is poor person having small children
with him so they will become economically poor and will be
destroyed in this matter. Arrange the salary of Nobat Khana
staff members from another fund.”
So after some days the supervisor was coming back to Qazipet
from Hyderabad and he was allowed to join in his post as per
order the custodian of the shrine of Kazipet and the staff
members of the Nobat Khana was paid their salaries from the
other fund by the administrator of the estate.

In the loving memory of my mother

Mother you lived long and left us on 3rd November 2016

And showed us a life by drawing a good road map of life

You protected us since childhood till present time of life

So we cannot ignore you during our entire period of life

Your life was not at all dull in the wasteful ways

It was an example of the struggle for the happy life

Your determination was so great to fight the life

By such you have good benefits you have gained

You acted in the world, but also active in the religion

Your presence was a grace due to the kindness of God

After your demise, was a loss and damage in the house

Her name Akhter, she was a star of the luck in her life

Her life journey was ended in 6 days in the hospital

Left on us an impression which cannot be removed

Oh God, you have been given a position in the world

 26

Kindly bestow the mercy on her final resting place

The verse Fateha (The opening)

It is difficult Your praise and it is hidden Your virtues in all

You are visible there in all and You are there in everything
For every particle, you are created from the beginning to end
You are Sustainer of all not in this world and another world
You are Lord of the worlds and you are forgiver of the worlds
You are kind to all and Your kind favor is there for all persons
Those who are pious then You are merciful to such persons
Your special favour and kindness is there for all of them
You are the owner everyone settle deeds on judgment day
In your hands is a penalty and a prize and you are the owner
All our worship is for Your sake, oh Lord of the two worlds
All slaves belong to you from the origin, if he is big or small
For all our needs you are must and Your personality is kind
You give all one who calls you as You are a kind helper to all
Guide us such a right path, on which path who went away
With Your graces and all passed away on such path indeed
 28

But there will be no such way never, which is ignored by You

So who lost and misguided on such way due to your anger
This is the prayer of your slave and is request of your lowest
Accept the prayer of Sahwi as you are an owner of two worlds

its translation into the English edition and this book is well
known and famous book which is written by Khwaja Azizan Ali

Hadhrat Khwāja Azīzān Alī Rāmītanī quddisa sirruhu (585-715
AH) was born in Ramitan, a town located near four miles from
Bukhara (now Uzbekistan), circa 585 AH. He was also called
Nassāj, meaning weaver, as initially, he used to weave clothes.
By the orders of Khwāja Khidr, he became a disciple of Khwāja
Mahmood Anjīr-Faghnawī and received spiritual mentorship. He
was the chief deputy and was appointed as the main successor
by the shaykh. According to some reports, he also benefited
from Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī. He migrated to a town called
Bāward, and later migrated to Khwarezm where he lived to the
end.
Although his name was Alī Rāmītanī, he was often remembered
as Khwāja Azīzān as he used to call himself Azīzān. People of
Khwarezm used to call him Khwāja Alī Bāwardī.
He had two sons:
 31

1. Khwāja Muhammad alias Khwāja Khurd. He was the elder son.

He passed away 19 days after his father’s death, on Thursday the
17th of Dhu’l-Hijja, 715 A.H (11 March 1316 CE) [Rashahāt].

by Khwāja Azīzān. He died in 793 AH (1391 CE).
He reached an extraordinary age of 130 years. The author of
Rashahāt records his date of death as of Monday, the 28th of
Dhu’l-Qa’da, 715 AH (23 February 1316 CE). He is buried in
Khwarezm where his shrine is a place of pilgrimage

The biography of Hazrat Khwaja Azizan Ali Ramitani

His name of venerable was Ali. As he used to say his soul as

Azizan so for this reason his title has become well known and
famous as Azizan.His native place is known as Ramitan village
which is two Kos ( is an ancient Indian subcontinental
Arthashastra standard unit of distance, since at least 4 BCE. A
kos is about 3.00 km or 1.91 miles.) from Bukhara. He was well
known as a person of position, status, owners of ranks, and
person miracles and perfect pious person. And due to the
changes of the time, he was migrated from village Maratin to
Bavarad city. And he stayed in this city of Barvard for a long
period of time. He used to guide mankind toward Allah. For the
manners of mankind, there is his command and advises in which
he was used to engaging in this endeavours. Then due to the
condition of time, he was left from the residency of Bavard city
and went to Khwarizam city. He used to be engaged in mystical
 35

exercise and endeavours.In the city Khwarizam, there was much

progress and development to his chain of mysticism. His
manners were very good and as well as he had good behavior
with mankind.
A large number of persons have become his disciples and his
humble prayers are famous there.The people of Khwarizam who
called him as Khaja Ali Bawardi. And the people of Bukhara who
called him Sheikh Ali Ramatini. And Sufies has called him Hazrat
Azizan.
He was lived in the company of the Prophet Khizer. As per his
advice, he has become a disciple of Hazrat Khaja Mahmood Anjir
Faghnavi and when the last time of Hazrat Mahmood came then
he was allotted the work of his caliphate to Hazrat Azizan and he
has surrendered all his disciples to him.
Hazrat Azizan as per invisible indication he was migrated to
Khwarizam from the domain of Bukhara. He was reached to the
door of the fort of Khwarizam and he has stayed there. He has
sent his message to the king of Khawarizam through two
darwesh persons that “Fakir has arrived at your door and wanted
to stay here if there will be no objection from your side then he
can enter into city otherwise he will leave this place.”
He has said with his darwesh person that if there will be
permission given by the king then there should be required
king’s stamp on the permission letter.
When those fakir persons went into the court of the king
they have said to the kings whatever said by Hazrat Azizan Ali
Ramitani and so, for this reason, the king and all his courtiers
who laugh for this matter. And they said that how these darwesh
persons are simple and unwise. So for this reason by the joke and
 36

laughing they have given permission letter to enter into the city
and by stamping the letter as per the desire of Azian Ali Ramitani.
The darwesh persons who have taken the permission letter in
the service of Hazrat Azizan and given to him. Then he was
entered into the city and he settled down in some corner place.
And where he was busy and engaged in the method which was
shown by spiritual masters.
In the morning time, he used to go to the residence place
of labour persons and bring daily one or two labors to his house.
And he used to say to them to have well ablution and to stay with
him till the second prayer time and it means till Maghrib sunset
prayer time in his house. He also asks them to be engaged in the
remembrance of Allah then take their wages and then go back
to their houses at the time of sunset. The people who used to
accept his company with much gratitude and thankfulness for
this reason. When there will be passed one day then due to
Azizan’s effect of love, due to the perfection of his usage and due
to his power of miracle there will be found in them such
attributes that they could not bear and have the power to leave
his holy company for this reason. In a short period of time in that
country and around its surrounding area a large number of
people who were have entered his circle of devotion and there
will find a large of groups of learned persons and students in his
service. This news was reached to the King of Khawarizam that
in his city one person who appeared and in his circle almost all
persons of the city have been entered. And all of them are
available always in his service in the condition of alert.
King of Khawarizam then who thought that due to a large
number of his devotees and gathering whether it may happen
 37

any trouble and there will happen disturbance in the country for
which there will be not possible to control this happening for this
reason. Due to his suspicion the king make a decision and who
decided to remove Khaja Azian Ali Ramitani from the city of
Khawaizam.Then at that time Hazrat Azizan who has sent the
letter of the permission which was duly stamped by two darwesh
persons in the court of King of Khawariazam and with them he
has sent his message that “We have entered into your city by
your permission and if you break your promise in this matter
then we are ready to leave your city at this time.”Due to this
reason, the court members of the king and king of the country of
Khwarizam were regretted very much in this matter. And due to
this reason, they have recognized foresighted-ness of the Hazrat
Azizan so they have visited his place and were become his
disciples.
Hazrat Azizan who used to visit the market of yarn at the
evening time. And he used to purchase all yarn quantity from
poor persons and bring into his house and he used to weave 40
yards of rough cotton cloth with that yarn so in this way that he
bring yarn from the market and put in the corner place of the
house and he himself he used to sit in the house in the
engagement of meditation of Allah. And then the rough cotton
cloth which will be ready in the house by without touching his
hands by automatically like Hussain bin Mansour which is
famous about him that he has sent one weaver for his some work
and he was sat in his house and he was done indication by his
hand so for this reason from cottonseed were separated from
the cotton and due to this miracle he has become famous as
 38

Hallaj it means Naddaf (cotton beaters). And in the same way the
name of Hazrat Azizan Ali and his title Nassaj (textile weaver).
It is possible that the rough cotton cloth will be weaving by the
invisible persons or Muslim Jinns or angels who were his disciples
and this work will be done for him by order of Allah. Or the cloth
which will be weaved by some other sources as mentioned
above and for which we did not know its reality in this matter.
So Hazrat Azizan in this way go to the market and sell away
the rough cotton cloth and whatever there will get profit from
that rough clothe which he will be divided into three parts. The
first part on the learned persons, and the second part on the fakir
persons and third part on his family members.
One day one person came as a guest came to the house of
Hazrat Azizan and at that time there was nothing food available
in his house. So, for this reason, the traveler left his house after
waiting there for much time. At that time one boy came there
who used to sell food in the market and who was his disciple.
And who was reached there with the tray which was full of the
food items. And which the boy presented in his service and which
he was liked very much the act of the boy. And which was caused
him very much happiness. At last, the guest was given food for
his eating. Then he was called the boy and he has told him that “
Oh son you have done service which was liked by me very much.
So for this reason, if you have any wish or desire then ask me
which Inshallah will be fulfilled by Allah. That boy who was very
much intelligent and wise and who said that “ He wants to
become the same as yourself.”
Hazrat Azizan said that “This is a difficult task and there will
be heavyweight which will be fallen and for which there will be
 39

no weight with you to move and bear it. The boy who told him
with humility that “ This is his desire and wish in this matter and
except this, there is no desire and wish which he has with him.”
Hazrat Azizan said that “It will have happened like that and
then he was held his hand was taken that boy in the loneliness
and he was paid attention to him very much. And within one
hour there was appeared on the boy his resemblance and
immediately in the shape,manners, in manifest as well as
innermost he was becoming same as Hazrat Azizan and without
any difference the boy was changed same as Hazrat Azizan and
after this the boy who was lived for a period of forty days and
then, at last, he could not have power with him to able bear the
heavyweight upon him and he has died.
Hazrat Sydenda who was a contemporary personality of
Hazrat Azizan and both of them used to meet for some time. In
the beginning, there was no affection with Hazrat Syedna with
Hazrat Azizan and one day there was happened disrespect by
Hazrat Syedna in the position of Hazrat Azizan.
By chance, in those days one Turkish group came from the
deserted area and caught the son of Hazrat Syedna and taken
away toward the desert area. When this event was known to
Hazrat Syedna then he was able to realize that this was caused
to him by his disrespect in the service of Hazrat Azizan. So, for
this reason, he went in his service to regret in this matter of
disrespect and with much meekness, he has given him an
invitation of the feast at his house and requested him kindly to
accept his invitation. So Hazrat Azizan upon knowing his
intention then he was accepted his invitation. And he went to his
house to attend his house for the ceremonial dinner party for
 40

many people. In that meeting famous learned persons and sheiks

of the time who were presented there.
At that time Hazrat Azizan who was in condition of
intoxication and when the servant has brought dinner table and
put salt pot then at that time Hazrat Azizan has said that “ Azizan
will not put his finger in the salt pot and his hand will not touch
food unless and until the son of Hazrat Syedna will not be
present on the dinner table.” Then he was silent for some
time.All persons in the meeting who were waiting for the effect
of his saying there and at the same time the son of Hazrat Syedna
has come back to the house there. There was loud and cry in the
meeting for this happening. The persons were surprised in this
matter. The persons have asked about the reasons and details of
the Turkish group who have released him. The boy told them
that except this detail he could not know other information in
this matter that he was imprisoned by the Turkish group and
who were taking him to their country by making him imprison.
Now I am finding myself with all of you in this meeting place.
Then all persons in the meeting were able to know that this was
his usage of Hazrat Azizan in this matter.
Khwaja Azizan who said that “One darwesh person who has
visited Prophet Khizer and was asked with him who is the pious
person in this present time and who has the status of firmness
and right of devotion with him so that he can be caught his edge
of the gown and follow him. Khwaja Khizer (Prophet Khizer) told
him that “This type of pious who has such attribute is Hazrat
Khwaja Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi.” Some of the companions of
Hazrat Azizan who told that the name of that holy person who
was Hazrat Azizan himself but who did not disclose his name
 41

because then there will be known to all about his meeting with
Prophet Khizer.
One day Hazrat Azian who was busy in the remembrance of
Allah along with companions of Hazrat Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi
in the village Ramitan.At that time suddenly what he has seen
that there was flying a big cock in the air and which was passed
away from there over their heads and in the eloquent language
he was said “ Ah Ali Mardana Rah.” Upon seeing that cock and
hearing his conversations and due to this effect all persons in the
meeting who were become unconscious in this matter. When
there will be relief from that effect then persons have asked with
Hazrat Azizan what is a reality about what we have seen and
what we have heard ?.Khaja Azizan has told that “There was
given such status to Hazrat Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi by Allah that
due to this reason he is in such position always in which Allah has
spoken with Prophet Musa thousand phrases and he now went
at the head side of Hazrat Khaja Dehqan Qalti and who is caliph
of many great holy persons and at present and his last time is
near. As who has prayed that “Oh Allah send any of my friends
at this last time so that I can get help from him in this matter and
due to such benediction than I can take with my faith safely from
this world.” So he has left this world with the safety of faith. As
he has loved upon my condition with great affection so he was
passed through this away for my sake of this reason.
His sayings
1. To become the companion of Allah and if this is not possible
then should become the companion of such a person who is the
companion of Allah because one who will become the
 42

companion of Allah’s companion then, for this reason, he will

become the companion of Allah.

2. His saying is that if you sit with a good person then you
become good and if you sit with a bad person so for this reason
you will become a bad person.
3. If you will sit with such a person who will remove Allah’s
remembrance from you then know in this matter that he is Satan
in the shape of human beings for you.
The human being who is worse than Satan, Jinn, will create
suspicion in the hidden way than Satan and Jinn who will create
suspicion in a manifest way.
4. The company of a good friend is better than the company of
the good deed because the good deed will not save you from
pride and arrogance .and the pious person who will advise and
show you the right path.
5. Do not sit with the person of ego but sit with such a person
who is free from ego.
6. For us, those who are far who are near to us and those who
are near us are far from us.
Those who are far from us are near to us as they are away from
us bodily but they are near to us by life and heart. The persons
who are called Nazdikdur (near but far away) and who are near
to us but they are in our company in a manifest way but they are
not with us by their heart and life in this matter. But their hearts
and lives are attached to the affairs of the world and involved in
greed and lust. In an apparent way, they are in our company but
their heart and life are to attach to some other place. For us far
is better than nearness. And for us, nearness is better than far
 43

away. As it is the nearness of credence of the heart and life in

this matter. There is no credence of the nearness of the nature
of the human body.
7. Wealth is indifference but this is an attribute which is similar
to the rich persons but actually, it belongs to the category of the
indigence because it is possible that if he will give something to
fakir persons but he will not accept it because taking is not an
obligation for him. If the rich person does not want to give then
which is not possible. But it is the obligation for him to give as
per verse from the Quran “Watu Zakat” that to pay Zakat
(religious tax as a basic in-function) verse Munafiqun 10. And “
Anfiqum Mima Razaqnamhum” as per verse from Baqar 110,
verse Hajj 41, Verse Noor 56, and verse Muzammil -20). (to
spend that thing which we have given to you as sustenance.).
8. If fakir does not have anything in his hand then do not desire
anything in his heart. Then it is said that fakir belongs to good
attributes.If he will say indigence is his pride then he is a true
person in this matter. If the fakir who do not keep in his hand
anything but he has a desire for something in his heart then he
belongs to the fakir of his street and not fakir and who is not a
follower of the prophet of Allah. If he will be a follower of the
prophet then he will not desire in his heart for anything as well
as from his tongue in this matter. If fakir who has something in
his hand and then he will desire something more then that fair
who become a fakir of bad attribute so for this matter it is said
that “Al-Faqar Suwad Wajha (disgrace) and it is verifier of this
and it is said in the holy saying of the prophet “Wa Kan Faqr
Yakun Kufra.”Its translation and interpretation are that
indigence can take near up to infidelity.
 44

His son a who asked about Hadith (tradition of the holy

prophet) Al-Faqar Suwad Wajha Fi Darain Wa Kan Faqr Yakun
Kufra.” And its meaning and interpretation is Fakiri disgrace in
both worlds. Indigence can take up near to infidelity.
In the saying of the prophet “ Al-fakhr fahkri” (indigence is my
pride) in which is there against Fakhar (indigence) and what is
the reason in this matter.?
He said two Hadiths which are said in the favour of such fakir
who will be inclined toward mankind and it means who will
disclose his indigence upon mankind and require something
from mankind. And who will make his indigence as the
instrument of begging and source of income. And this method
which is, in reality, is a complaint against Allah. This is a disgrace
in the world. The complaint of Allah, in reality, is infidelity. And
it is a failure in the other world.
If a person of Allah when he will adopt such type of behavior
then he will have greed and t in the goods of other persons and
who will make his darweshi as the source of income then this his
condition is against of indigence. So the darwesh as per rule of
Fakhri Fakhar which is explained as above so he should become
and live in the condition of content, ascetic and without greed.
9. The hand of the fakir person will be higher than the wealthy
person because the hand of fakir is the invisible hand of Allah.
The prophet said “Al- Sadqa Taqta Fi Kaf Rahman Qabal An
Taqta Fe Kaf al-fakir.”Its translation and interpretation are that
Sadqa (charity) which goes first in the hand of Rahman (Allah)
before going into the hand of the fakir. This saying of the prophet
which was quoted by Asam Swuti and which reported by Hazrat
Abu Zar Ghafari.
 45

Allah said “Yad Allah Fouq Edihim.” Verse Fatah -10. The hand
of Allah is above their hands.
10. If Allah asks with the slave to ask something from him then
there is the condition of slavery is that the slave should not ask
Allah anything except Allah because one who will get Allah then
he will get each and everything. And those who will get Allah
then he will not require anything.
The translation and interpretation of Persian couplet are that
“One who is active in the love of Allah then he will not ask
anything with Allah except Allah.
11. One learned person who will be busy for a period of 40 years
for scholar work and who will bear difficulties in the school. And
he will do the service of the teacher. Then he will get some
position.But the mystic person (Arif) who will spend a period of
40 years in indigency and hunger. And he will engage his soul in
mystical exercise and input his soul in endeavours and then he
will be in the happy condition in case of calamities, under trouble
and difficulties.So that he can make a status in the look of Allah.
Due to knowledge, the learned person will get a position and
status. The people of indigence due to their above endavours of
the soul which will reach them toward Allah and from every tree
there will be found and the fruit which will be hidden in that tree.
“Az koza huma tarawad daru ast.” Its meaning and translation
are that “From every pot, such a thing will be drop which will be
available in the pot.”
12. If you sit in the first row and think about the person of the
back row have thought of humility ideas then it is good that you
should sit the back row. And have the arrogance of the front row
persons. It means due to piousness and being master you are
 46

eligible to sit on the seat of the throne of the chairmanship. Your

attributes should be like that of servants in this matter. And you
should think in the inferior category person in the heart from all
other persons then it is better for him to sit in the back seat and
think himself suitable for the throne of the chairmanship.
13. The slave of Allah will not become Allah but he will attach
with the attributes of Allah.
His son and successor Khawja Ibrahim who asked him what is
meaning of this phrase. “ Fakir is not standing in need of Allah.”
Khawja Azizan said that “Fakir who did not ask for his desire and
wishes from Allah who is grand and great. As Allah who knows
the world of invisible so when he knows his desire and wishes
then what is a requirement for questioning Allah.?”
One person who asked him who are such persons who belong
to Baliq Shariat. Then he said Baliq Shariat are such persons from
him the heart will be out and Baliq mystic is such person who will
be a way of ego. When darwesh heard this saying then he was
put his head on the earth then Hazrat Azizan who told him that
“There is no need to put the head on the earth but put such thing
on the earth which you have in your mind that is ego.”
His son Khwaja Ibrahim who asked with father Hazrat
Mansour the mystic who had uttered the words “Ana al-Haq” it
means “I am the Truth”
And Hazrat Ba Yazid said “ Laisa Fe Jibbati Sewa Allah”. (In my
gown except for Allah nothing in there in it.”
The above two sayings which are not alongside Islamic law.
So in this matter why Hazrat Mansour was cut into pieces and
ashes which were sent into the air and Hazrat Ba Yazid was not
said. Hazrat Azian told that “There is the difference in this matter
 47

because that Hazrat Mansour who first presented his personality

by his saying of ‘Ana’ (I am) so, for this reason, there was no
effect which was reached to him. And Hazrat Ba Yazid who first
presented his non-existence and did not say any word. So, for
this reason, he was safe and secured in this matter.
From Hazrat Azizan one person has asked what is the meaning
of the following saying of the prophet.?
“Tasfer Wa Tashu Wagtanwa.”(Travel and have health and think
as a blessing this matter.” From occurrence, there will be
available freshness. And think it as a blessing.When you will
travel in the desert of soul and when you get an air of delicate.
Then you will get the health of the existence. So, from illness of
doubt, suspicion, show and cunning, greed and hope, malice and
spite, jealousy and difference, miserliness and pride, vanity and
self-complacent, self -conceit, and ill will, teasing and atrocities,
grief from all bad manners, so you will from free all the above
problems in this matter. So think this health as a blessing for this
reason. So spend the life of some days in the sincerity and
worship of Allah.
From Hazrat Azizan somebody who has asked that some
person says there are three kinds of men are there like complete
man, half-man, Na Mard (impotent), and what is its meaning.?
He has said “Allah has described the attribute of complete
man in the following verse Noor verse 17.
‫ْ ه‬ َ ٌ َ ََ ٌَ َ ُْ ‫َ ٌ ا‬
ِ ‫يه ْم ِتجارة وَّل ب ْيع عن ِذك ِر‬
﴾٣٧﴿ ‫اَّلل‬ ِ ِ ‫ِرجال َّل ت‬
‫ه‬ ‫ل‬
“Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts from the
remembrance (Dhikr) of Allah”
There was such a condition which was prevailed upon the
prophet and which he has said “ Fatnam Ainai Wala Yanam
 48

Qalbi.”(1) It means my eyes sleep but not my heart did not sleep.
The half-man is such in whose heart there will come pleasure of
remembrance of Allah. But he was contented on such matter. It
means that there were will be such condition upon him till then
his tongue will be engaged in the pleasure of the remembrance
of Allah so then his heart will get the pleasure of the
remembrance of Allah. When he leave remembrance of Allah
then his heart will also abscond remembrance of Allah.
Na Mard (impotent ) is such a person who is a hypocrite it
means that he will be engaged in the remembrance but which
will be not for Allah.
(1) As per reference from book Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim
When With Hazrat Azizan was asked that the prophet said
“Such person who in the morning time engage in the
remembrance of Allah purely for Allah for a period of 40 days
with full faith and by heart. With unreserved and unadulterated,
no taste and for aware of soul and for correction of faith with
full trust and attention as well as with return and who will
engage in the worship of Allah without any purpose then there
continue to flow spring of wisdom from his heart to his tongue.
So many persons have acted upon this instruction but nobody
did not find such a thing in this matter. So what is the reason for
this matter.?
Hazrat Azizan said that “They were not true in this way and
their aim from 40 days and which was such that there continue
to flow spring of wisdom from their hearts to their tongues.
There was not the aim of them purely for Allah. So, for this
reason, they could not get the aim in this matter.”
 49

One person has come to visit and asked with Hazrat Azizan to
his attention upon him. Then he has asked to go to bazaar and
purchase and present one spouted jug in his presence. He has
done as per his instruction. He said when he will look the
spouted jug then he will able to present in his look.
In the presence of Hazrat Azizan, one group of wise persons
came and joined in his company and during the discussion one
person among them who said that “Learned persons are like skin
and fakir persons are like the kernel.”
Hazrat Azizan said that “The kernel is safe and secure from the
support of the skin.”
One day Hazrat Azizan who was busy in the meditation than
at that time one claimant came there and to test him and who
was asked with him the question of what is mysticism?.” And he
said to him to disconnect and connect.” It means to disconnect
with the unrelated and connect with Allah.”
One person told something to insult in his position and he
said to him that “ He belongs to a bazaar person and he used to
go and come from bazaar to purchase and sale of the yarn.” He
said that “ Oh Azizan, Allah who like lamentation so for this
reason why he will not become a person of the bazaar.” It means
in the court of Allah there is much demand for likeness and value
of lamentation, weeping, pain, passion, and poverty.”
Hazrat Azizan used to say that the person who is a successor
then who will guide the people toward Allah. That person who
should like that person who brings up animals. And who will give
food to the birds upon seeing their stomachs as per requirement.
In this way spiritual master who will train true and students upon
seeing their the quality or state of being eligible and capacity.
 50

Tajrid (abstraction) he said that “If any person who did not
have attribute Tajrid of heart then, for this reason, he will not get
any wish and desire. The persons said to him how Tajrid Manavi
(sense of abstraction) how it can be acquired. And he said that it
can be had by selflessness. Then he was asked, “What is there
will be the result of selflessness .”
He said bar it means good deed. Then he was asked what is a
thing of Bar.?. He has said “Bar is such a thing which is mentioned
by Allah in the following verse of the Holy Quran. Verse Al-Imran
92.
‫ْ َ ْ َ ا‬ ُ ْ ُ َ َ َ ُّ ُ ‫ا‬ ُ ْ ُ ‫َ ْ َ َ ُ ْ ا َ َا‬

ٌ َ ‫ه‬
92﴿‫اَّلل ِب ِه ع ِليم‬
Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the
way of Allah] from that which you love. And whatever you spend
- indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.(92)
He said that “ Never will you attain heaven or sight of Allah
or intercession of the prophet or salvation of Allah until you
spend those things that from which you love.”
In this book here the sayings of the Hazrat Azizan have
been finished.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The kinds of Tajrid (abstraction)

Tajrid means giving up worldly life (i.e. desires and ambitions

connected with the ego and subjective judgments) in favour of
the spiritual life (obedience to God and objective principles).
It should know that in the explanation of the sayings of the
Hazrat Azizan it is mentioned that there are two kinds of Tajrid.
 51

1 Suri and 2 Manavi. There are two kinds of Tajrid Suri. And first
is that someone has in the manifest wealth, property, and assets
and post, status and property, houses, slaves and maids, should
not have with them this kind of such things. One should be free
of the relations of the world in a manifest way. As well as his
heart should not have the desire for such things. So this is the
first kind of Tajrid. The second kind of Tajrid is that he should not
have the things which have mentioned above with him. But his
heart has the desire for such things in the heart. So such Tajrid
which will not give benefit to anybody. But such a person is like
beggar of the locality for this reason. The Tajrid which have with
darwesh persons and who do not have anything with him and his
heart do not have the desire for the above things then, in that
case, he has benefits with him. And he will be given an opening
and many of the secrets which will be known by him.
2.Tajrid Manavi (sense of abstraction)
It is required that man’s innermost which should be empty
with the relations of the world. Pride and jealousy, hatred and,
formality and show, false and backbiting, pride, and arrogance,
miserliness and cause to inconvenience, atrocities, bad thinking,
etc., which are bad attributes so from which he should be free
from all. And his innermost which should have to engage in
glorification of God and sanctity, kindness and favour,
knowledge and trust in God, belief in God’s unity, meditation,
endeavours, and observation, remembrance of Allah, thought,
obedience and worship, truth and sincerity, love and pleasure
which are good attributes from which he should be attached
with all of them. And such Tajrid which show the way of aim and
for which there are many benefits.
 52

And if someone has properties and assets, post and status and
wealth and he has all things. But he has no attention to all such
things. And his heart is empty from the love of all these things.
And for all such things which will be for him for the realization of
instrument of his existence and as well as it will make a source
contemplation at one with God then If he did not have attention
of all these things then in his heart there is no love of all such
things so for this reason also it comes under Tajrid Manavi (sense
of abstraction).
So there were passed away a large number of the prophets
from the world and they have with them much wealth, status,
properties, sources, but for them all these things which have
become the cause of getting nearness of Allah and as well as the
willingness of Allah. So it is said that prophet Ibrahim who had
70 dogs with golden collar in their necks and these dogs along
with shepherds who used to guard the goats. Now upon it, there
can be thinking of his another property. And Prophet Ibrahim
who had given all these properties in the way of Allah and such
details are very lengthy.
In this way, Prophet Sulaiman had assets, wealth, army, land,
kingdom of the surface of the earth. But to him, all these things
we're not able to harm him. Because he did not have a little love
in his heart for all these things. As he could not reject all these
things which were given to him by Allah. So for all properties and
resources who made him a cause of felicity of the other world.
He did not use to take anything from public exchequer. And he
used to weave the baskets and for selling and send through the
servant for selling in the market. And by the sales amount he
 53

used to spend for his livelihood. This act confirms the argument
that he did not have the value of wealth and status in her heart.
In this way, Zulqarnain had with his kingdom and wealth and
which could not harm him. Because he did not have a place of
love for anything in his heart. He used to think of all these things
as properties of Allah. So, for this reason, he got nearness in the
court of Allah.
In this way, Shaikh Abu Saeed Abul Khair had a person of
wealth and dignity and he had many formalities with him. So in
this matter, it is said that he had made shoes of his horse with
gold. The people told him that “What everything you have done
which is exactly extravagance. He told “The gold is also a thing of
the world. And it is better to keep the world under the foot.”
Tajrid Manavi (sense of abstraction)
The aim of this conversation is that the prophets and holy
persons about them which we have discussed and they were
persons of the world in a manifest way. But they were having
with them Tajrid Manavi (sense of abstraction), so, for this
reason, they were able to get their aim.
One who will not have with him Tajrid Manavi (sense of
abstraction) then for this reason he cannot get his aim.
Hazrat Khaja Naqshaband said that “Hazrat Azizan said that “ In
the look of the one group of persons earth is like an eating table.
And we say that it is like a nail. So, for this reason, anything of
the world which is not out of his look. At the time of this saying
Hazrat Azizan who was sitting on the eating table.”
Hazrat Azizan said that “ When in the Tahjud supererogatory
prayer when there will gather 3 hearts at that time then the work
of Muslim slave persons will be completed.
 54

1.Dil Shab (last part of the night) 2.Dil Quran (verse Yasin) 3.Dil
Banda Momin (the heart of the Muslim person).
Hazrat Azizan who was of Qutub highest cadre in the spiritual
pivot of time, and revitalize of Islamic law and mystic way. And
belong to the religion of Hanfi. He was paid attention to reality
and away from the low world. He was a person of usage and
miracles of marvelous. One who will live in his company for one
day then he will realize the reality for this reason. And he will not
like to leave his company.
Salik (Mystic initiate) in his one sitting will be able to get reality
and upon getting the attention of the heart then he will return
from him.
He had two sons:
Khwāja Muhammad alias Khwāja Khurd. He was the elder
son. He passed away 19 days after his father’s death, on
Thursday the 17th of Dhu’l-Hijja, 715 A.H (11 March 1316 CE)
[Rashahāt]. So, for this reason, the companions of Hazrat Aziza
who used to call him as Khaja Buzrug. And his son Khwāja
Muhammad who was called as Khwāja Khurd.
And his second son Khwāja Ibrāhīm. He was a younger son
and was made a deputy by Khwāja Azīzān. He died in 793 AH
(1391 CE). And who has compiled sayings of his father into one
magazine? In this book (In the book Rashat many writings which
are added from the book Hazrat Qudas ) many events have been
added from that book.
When the time of death was near than at that time he was
given his son Khwāja Ibrāhīm permission and caliphate. There
was came thought in the heart of some of his companions that
there was his elder son who was learned as well as a mystic
 55

person so while leaving him why he was selected his younger son
for the guidance of mankind. Hazrat Azizan was able to know
thinking of the companion by his miracle. Then he said that Khaja
Mohammed who will not live after him for much time. And he
will soon meet me in another world. So it has happened the same
as per the saying of Hazrat Azizan and he was died after 19 days
of the death of his father Hazrat Azizan on Monday at the time
chast on 27th Zil hajj in the year 715 hegira at the age of 70 years.
Khwāja Ibrāhīm died at the age of 78 years in the year 793 Heigra
in the Zil Hajj.
Hazrat Azizan died at the age of 130 years and he was died on
Monday on 28th in the month of Zil Hajj in the year 715 Hegira.
His grave in Khawarizem and his mausoleum is in Khawarizem
which is famous even today for the fulfillment of desires and
wishes of general and special persons. Hazrat Badruddin who
caliph of Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani who said two dates of birth in
the Persian language as follows.

1. De Sarkarda Sufi Bud = 715 Hegira

2. Bahara Aswad Bud = 715 Heigra

His younger son Khwāja Ibrāhīm wrote a book about his father
and master.
Among his deputies, following are recorded in Rashahāt and
other books:
1. Khwāja Muhammad Khurd quddisa sirruhu, his elder son
2. Khwāja Ibrāhīm Quddisa sirruhu, his younger son
3. Khwāja Muhammad Kulāhdūz quddisa sirruhu
4. Khwāja Muhammad Hallāj Balkhī quddisa sirruhu
 56

5. Khwāja Muhammad Bāwardī quddisa sirruhu

6. Khwāja Muhammad Bābā Sammāsī quddisa sirruhu

His life details, events, and his status and sayings about which
very few persons are known and these things which are not
available in the Sufi books of the present time. For this reason,
his details are added in this introduction with many descriptions.
In his magazine in which also available Hazrat Azizan’s most
valuable and golden sayings and which are added with the aim
that it can guide the Muslim persons and especially for the Sufi
persons in this matter.

The End.

2. Magazine “Mahboob Arifeen Wasilat Talibeen”

Oh friends of the Allah, may Allah increase your truth, faith

of the wealth, prosperity, respect, majesty. You should know
that for following the way of Sufism and mysticism then they
should be required and must to keep ten conditions in their look
which are as follows.
First condition
It is cleanliness so one should keep life in the condition of
cleanliness. There are 4 kinds of cleanliness.
1.Cleanliness of the manifest 2. Cleanliness of the innermost
3.Cleanliness of the heart. 4.Cleanliness of the Seer.
1. The cleanliness of the manifest
 57

To be keep away from an unlawful loaf of food and drinks.

Because in the Hadith ( tradition of the Holy prophet) there is
mentioned that “One who eats a loaf of unlawful food then for
him a period of 40 days his obligations are not accepted for this
reason or his supererogatory worship or his prayers are not
accepted.

2.The cleanliness of the heart

Attributes that are not liked, bad intrinsic, defalcation, fraud,
malice, jealousy, cheat, hatred, enmity, to keep away from the
love of the world. Man’s manifest which is liked by the mankind
and until it will not be pure till then his prayer and sincerity which
will not be accepted. So the heart which is liked by the look of
Allah and until it will not be pure till then he will not develop love
and affection of Allah.
1. The cleanliness of Seer
This cleanliness of Seer is that to escape away from other than
Allah and keep his heart toward Allah.
The Second condition
is the silence of the tongue. So keep the tongue from uncivilized
phrases.It should be engaged in the reading of the holy book,
enjoining good and for forbidding wrong and the act of offering
an improvement to replace a mistake, setting right, learning and
the teaching of knowledge of Islamic religion, so it should be
engaged in these works. The prophet said “The peoples will be
put down in the hell by headlong till such that their tongues will
not be cut due to false taking. It means Allah made by complete
wisdom of the body and soul. So he has kept hidden in every part
of the human body his wisdom as well as expedience. If there
 58

will be not seen any bad thing then it will not be kept the tongue
in the imprison of the mouth.
When Hazrat Mariam adopted silence then Prophet Jesus was
given the power of the speech. And he said as follows.
َ ‫ان ْالك َت‬
ّ َ ‫إ ِّن َع ْب ُد ه‬
﴿ ‫اب‬ ِ َ ‫اَّلل آت ِ ي‬
ِ ‫ِ ي‬
(Baby) said: “Surely I am a servant of Allah. He has given me
the Book (verse Maryam -30)
When the tongue of Maryam has become silent then Allah
made possible to talk the tongue of Prophet Jesus. Do not think
this matter as strange and surprising. Until Maryam did not clean
and pure herself from the water of the sea and not drown in it
for the worship of Allah. So until then there was not progress of
pregnancy of Maryam by blow of the angel by the order of Allah
and Prophet Jesus did not born.
In the Hadith of the prophet, it is mentioned that “ The people
of heaven (before their entry into paradise) they will not surprise
for anything except for such moments which were passed away
from them without remembrance of Allah in the world. And
there was not sent a blessing on the Prophet of Allah. (From the
book Mukasha al-Quloob by Imam al-Ghazali).
The third condition
If you want to have loneliness or solitude and the state of
being alone in solitary isolation then to keep away from
unrelated persons and do not put look on the Na Muhiram
women (women who are not close relation and from when
women need to go into hiding.) Because the Prophet of Allah has
said that “To have look at the Na Muhiram women is like an
arrow of poison. So when this arrow will be pricked in the heart
then except killing what it will happen in this matter.?
 59

The prophet said “ Al-Nazra Saham Masmumat Min Saham

Iblis.” The translation and interpretation are that “ The look is
one of the arrows of the poison of Satan.” It means from the
arrow of wrongdoer Satan’s fraud and deception and so be safe
from the look of Na Muhiram women and so closed the eyes. If
you look at the Na Muhiram women and it is as an arrow of Satan
and if it is will be successful and will be pricked in your heart so
then you will be killed and from this, there will be your
destruction in this matter.
Also, it is to look at the Na Muhiram women which are
unlawful and in the same way it is not required to look beautiful
boys who are without beards. As this is also unlawful.
Also, it is prohibited to look at the men by the women. As Allah
ُ َ
said in the verse َ Al-Noor Ayat 31 and which is as follows. ‫ل‬ ‫ق‬‫و‬
ْ َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ ْ ِّ
‫ات َيغضض َن ِم ْن أ ْب َص ِار ِه ان َو َي ْحفظ َن‬
ِ ‫لل ُمؤ ِمن‬
‫وج ُه ان‬َ ‫ُف ُر‬
And say to the believing women that they cast down their looks
(they keep away from prohibited) and guard their chastity.31.
As it is said that Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqua went outside to give
bread to the beggar. The prophet asked her “Why she did come
outside.?” That beggar is a man. Hazrat Ayesha told him that “A
beggar is a blind person.” Then the prophet told her that “You
are having eyesight.”It means you can see him. So you to observe
the veil.”
The person who thinks to see Na Muhiram woman as lawful or
have its argument in this matter. So for him, there is fear of
infidelity.

The benefits of loneliness

 60

To stop the hands and to hold bad things. (bad and unsuitable
things) and to stop the foot to visit bad places. To keep away ears
to stop hearing from bad things. The soul is a big enemy among
enemies. So stop it from bad deeds in this matter so that possible
from the opening of the door of invisible on the hearts.
Other benefits are to remove the thoughts of the world from
the mirror of the hearts.
So that the heart should be clean very well. And on it, there
will be a fall of reflection of the light of oneness and he will
become eligible for the magnificence of Allah. And then he
makes crying out for assistance in this matter.
Here there is available the Persian couplet and its translation
and interpretation as follows.
It means I have drunk wine of love from there and my soul
which has its measure. And from that wine of love, I have
become intoxicated because my wisdom is fondness on it.
That lamp and who’s moth is sun from it there came the smoke
and which put fire inside of me.
The fourth condition
is fasting and benefits of fasting and from it, there will find a
resemblance to the angels. And there will be control over Nafas
Ammara (one’s baser self).

There is a specialty of fasting is that and Allah said in holy

Hadith that “ Assam li, Wa Ana Ajri.” It means fasting is for me
and I will give a reward for it.” So there is a great reward for
fasting.
Enma yufi alsaberun ajran baghair hisab
 61

No doubt there will be given reward to the persons of patience

without measure. (Ahzab verse -11)
The fasting is an obstruction in the way Satan. And it shield to
be keep away from mischievous of the Satan.
Al-Suma Janat Minnar. And its meaning and interpretation are
that fasting is a shield for the punishment of fire of hell.
From fasting, there will be a feeling of hunger and there will
be an inducement for giving alms and charity.
There are two glad tidings for the fast keeper that is he will
have two glad tiding tidings that first he will have happiness at
the time of opening of the fast and second happiness which he
will have on the judgment day then he will have a meeting with
his Lord of the worlds.
From fasting, there will be the health of the body to the fast
keeper. Also, there are a large number of benefits of fast
keeping. Especially after Fard (obligation of fasting of the month
of Ramadan and for the fasting of the holy days in the month
Rajab, Zil Qaeda, Zil Hajj and Muharram and about these days of
fasting there are mentioned in the Sahih Hadiths.
The narrator with right Hadiths who narrated that “His ears
become deaf if he has not heard from such and such person who
said that the prophet told that during 4 months of Haram
(sacred) which are mentioned above to observe fasting on three
days, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday then he will be given
reward of the worship of 700 years which will be recorded in the
account of the deeds by devotion and by willing of Allah.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The benefits of the fasting record by the translator of this book
from Persian into Urdu as follows.
 62

1. Regarding supererogatory fasting, the translator submits that

“ Among all months of the year Allah has given excellence of
decoration for these four months Rajjab, Zil Qaeda, Zil Hajj and
Muharram (from book Mukasha Al-Quloob by Imam Ghazali on
the page number 199).
2. The person who will observe fasting for 3 days in the month of
Haram (sacred) then he will be given the reward of the worship
of the 700 years. (From book Mukasha Al-Quloob by Imam
Ghazali on the page number 259).
3. As per Hadith that “One who will keep fasting on the 27th
Rajjab and for him there will be given the reward of 60 days of

on the page number 199).
4. The person who will observe fasting for 30 days of Ramdan

he will be given the reward of fasting of the whole life. (From
book Jannat Ki Kunji by Ahmed Saeed)

7. The prophet has observed fasting on the 10th Muharram and
he has said that “If he will live up to next year then he will keep
fasting also on 9th Muharram. (Mishwat).
8. The prophet used to observe fasting for many days in the
month of Shaban.(From book Jannat Ki Kunji by Ahmed Saeed)
 63

9.The prophet advised Abu Harara for 3 things and among it, one
is that to observe fasting of 3 days in every month. (From book
Jannat Ki Kunji by Ahmed Saeed)
10. To observe fasting of every month on 13th, 14th and 15th
day and which are called fasting of Baiz days and reward for this
are like that one has kept for the all days of his life. (From book
Jannat Ki Kunji by Ahmed Saeed)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The fifth condition

is Dhikr of Allah and which is called most supreme Dhikr of Allah.

Here there is a poem in the Persian and it's meaning
interpretation is as follows.
The person who has power over his existence and so he has
ruled upon him and who will advise him to act upon the Islamic
law and order. And who will stop him from prohibition. And to
such heart which will get the way toward the world of reality.
Here there is Persian couplet and its meaning and interpretation
are as follows.
It means is that such a heart who knows the light of faith
(who accepts saying of the Allah and his prophet without
grumble and whether understand or not understand by him and
who believe as truth) and his hands are not linked with hands of
good and bad deeds of the world.
It means that in the heart before not entering the light of
faith there were available 1000 suspicions in the heart. But now
due to belief all will be removed. Now there is only think in the
heart of La Ilha Illah (except Allah there is nobody who is eligible
for worship).
 64

It means the opposite of the above is “ Oh the person of the

world, you need things of the world, prettiness, and status,
garden and agricultural land, grazing field, the worry of the
grains. Your grief is limited to the wealth of the world, and you
do not have the worry of the other world.”
Here there is one Persian couplet and its meaning and
interpretation are as follows.
The condition of with us in which we are disgusted with world
and which is strange. We have one grief and pain of La Ilha Illah
and which is worrying us and attached with our edge of the shirt
and that Allah should be agreed with us.
It should be kept in mind that the cock of the thinking
(thinking and attention toward Allah) should have two hairs and
feathers so that to open feathers and fly in the air. Because as it
is said in the following verse of the Holy Quran from Surah 35
Fatir, Ayat 10.
‫ا‬ َۡ ُ َ
‫ِال ۡي ِه َي ۡص َعد الـك ِل ُم الط ِي ُب‬
To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it.

The above two hairs and feathers which are mentioned in which
one is attention and other is sincerity.
It should know that Huzur is called knowing. The slave should
know that Allah who knows everything, Allah will see all things
as well as all hearing. And who will take to higher status and
lower place.
And sincerity is this and due to pious deeds and for which we
should not demand world, position and wealth, and anything
which is connected with the world. Also with such deeds should
 65

not demand the grace of other words, heaven, houries and

palaces, canals, trees, and fruits. (1)
The benefits mentioned by the translator of this book from
Persian into Urdu (1) it means due to good deeds there should
not demand heaven and its graces. Because good deeds which
bearing fruit. Because the man is in need of favour and mercy of
Allah. And without Allah’s grace and favour the good deeds are
not sufficient for salvation.In reality the source of salvation is the
mercy of Allah. And for which it is deserved for the persons of
faith and doer of good deeds.
As per saying of Imam Rabbani Mujadid Alif Thani that “Always
thinks pious deeds and intentions as imputations even if they are
white like daylight.” (From Maktub page 171 part one.)
So for this reason to think your about good deeds whether
these things are acceptable or not in this matter. Because from
Allah for the sake of his mercy and favour to be demanded from
him for heaven and also to be asked welfare of the religion and
the world.
During the period Dhikr, he should say “Oh Allah you are my
aim. So I demand you from yourself.”
The prophet said, “One who will say “la ilha Illa” then from his
mouth there will be left one green bird and its feathers will be in
white colour. And on its head, there will be crown made of gold
and ruby. That bird while passing through skies will reach the
empyrean. And where it will make a sound like of honey bee and
it will be given the order to be silenced. And the bird will say how
he can remain silent until there will be not the salvation of the
reciter of this phrase. Then Allah will say to that bird” I have given
salvation to the reciter of this phrase so now keep your
 66

silence”.Allah also says “Oh angels you should be the witness

that I have forgiven the reciter of this phrase on the intercession
of this bird and I have washed sins of the person by the water of
salvation. Allah has given 70 tongues to the bird so that the bird
can ask for the intercession of the reciter of “La Ilha Illa” When
the day of judgment will come for which there are our faith and
belief in this matter. And for it, we think as reality. On that day
that bird will come there and he will hold the hand of the reciter
of “La Ilha Illa” and then fly with him into paradise. It will have
happened to that person for whom there will be given order by
Allah in this matter. So the arrow should be taken from the arrow
box of the king. If this is not possible then we should catch the
arrow box. It means have improved relations with Allah and do
much Dhizkr and Allah said as follows.
َ ۡ َ ‫َ ُّ َ ه ۡ َ ٰ َ ُ ۡ ُ ُ ۡ ه‬
‫اَّلل ِذك ًرا ك ِث ۡ ۡ ًبا‬ ‫يـايها ال ِذين امنوا اذكروا‬
“O you who have believed, remember Allah with much
remembrance.”
It is mentioned in Hadith that the daily the man take many
1000 breaths in and he will be asked about each and every
breath in which condition he was taken inside and in which
condition he was taken out his breath.
Here is there is Persian couplet and its meaning and
interpretation are as follows.
On the day of judgment, there will be taken account of each
and every breath. When it was spent in carelessness or in the
attention of the slavery of Allah for fulfilling duties of slavery. So
don not involve in any sin. On the day of the judgment, the sinner
will be in the condition of regret and shame. On that day riders
(rich persons of the word) who will become on foot walkers.
 67

Who were careless from the Dhikr of Allah. And who will be there
as on foot walkers and with them Allah will be angry. Many on
foot walker who were not rich in the world and who used be
engaged in the Dhikr of Allah and who will be in the position of
riders and they will get will of Allah. So the man should take care
of the lapsed of the breaths which were passed without any
benefit.
This is a secret thing that which will not be said to you unless
you will not become a disciple of any spiritual master. This will
be disclosed before you face to face as there is a secret matter
with me. So which will not be mentioned in the letter. Because
of the head the spear of the pen there is cut at pen point from
which if it was written then there will be disclosed of the secret
matter. (1).
(1). The benefits as mentioned by the Urdu language translator
that there are saying of the Hazrat Azizan that “For darwesh
persons, each and every breath is like last breath. My dear
persons does not become careless by the Dhikr of Allah. So think
each and every breath is like last breath.”

The Sixth condition

It is the consideration of care and it is called Nighdast Khater
and it has four kinds.
1.Khater Rahmani

Is to care about loaf.The loaf should be pure and lawful and it

ً ِ َ ً َ َ ۡ
Allah said ١٦٨) ‫ض حلـل طيبا‬ ِ ‫يـأيها ٱلناس كلوا ِمما ِف ٱألر‬
O, men! eat the lawful (and) good things out of what is in the
earth,

ْ َ َ ‫َ َ َْ ُُ ْ ا َ ْ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ ه‬

 74

Also, it is required that the cook should prepare food with

ablution and should be engaged in dhikr of Allah so that food
should not become the reason of carelessness and darkness.
When Prophet Khizer has visited Hazrat Khaja Abdul Khaliq
Ghajidwani then at that time food was brought for him. Then
prophet Khizer told that the person who prepared yeast was not
in the condition of abolition. So, for this reason, such a loaf is not
suitable for his throat. Allah to us and all such persons who love
us should give lawful and pure sustenance.

time and he was asked with Khwaja Azizan you are engaged in
Dhikr openly for which intention in this matter.?
As per the opinion of all agreed learned persons that at the
last time of death to the advice of Dhikr which should be done in
loud voice and it should be advised as per the command of the
following Hadith (tradition of the prophet).
Tafnu amvakum bashadata anna la ilaha illa (it means to your

tongue or heart.” Khajwa Azizan who said” Dhikr is by tongue for
the beginners and for one who is in his final years of training then

in Dhikr by suffering some difficulty and for which he will
sacrifice his life. The Dhikr for one who is in his final years of
training when he should be engaged Dhikr in his heart. Then all
of his body limbs and organs, veins of the body, joints which will
engage in the Dhikr of Allah. Then at that time mystic initiate

for a period of 100 years.
