When a 'Salik'
(an
aspirant/
Student of
Sufism) goes
through the
Path of
Sufism (Tariqat)
achieving
various
stages (manazil)
it reaches a
point where
the Soul (Nafs)
leaves the
clothes of
Humanity and
his heart
becomes the
everlasting
praise of
Allah. At
this moment,
Allah
reveals
various
secrets to
the hearts
of the
Saints
giving them
his special
mercy (Marifiat)
and this
stage is
also called
Waliyat
(Sainthood).
Then Allah
favours them
with other
special
bounties
where the
Saint's
inner and
outer
becomes
cleaned and
his heart
shines like
Sun, and his
Love
attracts
people to
the Islam.
Hazrat Syed
Ali Hujwiri
reached this
stage, Allah
Tala
appointed
him to the
land of
Lahore in
order to
spread the
word of
Truth and
Islam. And
this is our
special
honour and
happiness
that the
leader of
all Sufis
Hazrat
DataGanj
Bakhsh
preached
Islam in
this land.
Many hindus
were
converted at
his blessed
hands, and
that's why
we can say
that
Alhumdillah
we are
Muslims.
Hazrat Syed
Ali Hujwiri
came Lahore
at the time
when Sultan
Mehmood
Ghaznawi was
in power.
Along with
Hazrat Syed
Ali Hujwiri
was Hazrat
Abu Saeed
Hujwiri and
Hazrat
Hamaad
Sarkushi. At
that time
the Prince
Muj bin
Masood was
deputy head
of Ghaznawi
Dynasty and
the city
Lahore was
under going
various
developments,
which was
helping the
city of
Lahore to
emerge as
Centre point
of Asia. It
is also
difficult to
say what
exact date
Hazrat Data
Ganj Bakhsh
came to
Lahore but
it is
thought that
he came in
431 hijri.
In Fawaied
Al-Foeid,
Hazrat
Nizamuddin
Awliya Mut
's
Malfozaat's
analysis,
which was
complied by
his khalifah
(Successor)
Mir Hasan,
writes in
the sitting
of 29 Zil
Qadaah 708
hijri 10 May
1309 that
Shekih Syed
Ali Hujwiri
and Skeikh
Hussien were
Mureed and
did Bayt to
one Murshid.
Skiekh
Hussien was
settled in
Lahore from
long time
and one day
Hazrat Syed
Ali's
Mursheed
said to him,
you should
move to
Lahore now,
on this he
replied that
Shekih
Hussien was
already
there then
his mursheed
said you
should go,
therefore
you left for
Lahore and
reached at
night time
and at that
night Sheikh
Hussien died
and the next
morning it
was his
funeral.
-
His
mursheed
ordered
him to
go to
Lahore
-
Syed Ali
Hujwiri's
arrival
was at
night
time at
the same
time
when
Shekih
Hussine
died
From this we
can clearly
see that the
Musheed is
always aware
of the
things
happening to
his mureeds
and you
cannot under
estimate the
blessed
'Spiritual
Seeing' of
Syed Ali's
Mursheed.
His Shekih
also wanted
to ensure
that there
always
remains a
Sufi who
will be
engage with
Islamic
preaching so
that people
should not
be misguided
therefore it
was
necessary to
appoint Syed
Ali Hujwir
after when
Shkhieh
Hussien
dided in
order to
continue and
process.
Syed Ali
Hujwiri's
book, Kashf
Al-Mahjub
does
represent
that the
Sufi Shekihs
have Karamat
and he has
mentioned
number of
Leading
Sufis but we
do not find
the
mentioning
of his
Shekih's
this Karamat
and we also
not find any
thing
related to
Shekih
Hussine in
his book.
Whereas you
have
mentioned
the Sahaba,
Ahle Bayt,
Tabaian,
Taba-Tabaian,
Leading Sufi
Imams etc |
