Preface
On one hand, it's an honor that I have been blessed
with the opportunity to write this preface. But on the
other hand, I do not consider myself worthy to write
the introduction to the articles written by my highly
affectionate and respected teacher and Hazrat Allah
Yar Khan'sRUA Authorized Successor, Major (Retd)
Ghulam Muhammad. My tongue and my pen are not
at all worthy of commenting on what Hazrat Ghulam
Muhammad has written. However, as it was my
Hazrat's wish, I am daring to write these lines in the
compliance of his orders.
Major Ghulam Muhammad Sahib is a resident of Wan
Bhachran district Mianwali. He was just two months
old when he lost his mother. He had not started going
to school when his father also expired. His parental
aunt raised and educated him. He earned
scholarships throughout his schooling, from the fifth
grade to the university, so he didn’t face any problem
in completing his education. He got a commission in
the Pakistan Army in 1966. He met Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRUA in the last month of 1969. That was the day
he stepped into the field of Tasawwuf and Salook1,
and since then, he never stopped walking on this path
to this day. He is now the leader of a Jamaat of Silsila
Naqshbandia Awaisia.
1 The Sufi Path

Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad's father's name was
Muhammad Ramzan. He has three sons: Abdul
Ghafoor (Late), Ghulam Hussain, and Ghulam
Muhammad. How lucky his father must be, that all of
his three sons are present in the Prophet‫ﷺ‬'s Court.
Major Ghulam Muhammad's spiritual Baet took place
in 1970, and he was blessed with the position of an
"Authorized Successor2" by the Holy Prophet‫ﷺ‬ in
1974. His way of preaching is unique. He casts down
the Lights from his Station upon the person that he
wants to bring into the Silsila, and prays to Allah every
day after Tahajjud, that Allah may accept that person
for his remembrance and Zikr. If that person does not
join the Zikr for five to six weeks, he considers him
unlucky and thinks that he doesn’t have it in his
destiny that Allah should accept him for His
remembrance. Hence, he stops thinking about that
person.
Major Ghulam Muhammad Sahib has been a part of
the Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia for over 45 years. He
hasn’t gathered any worldly effects. He lives in a
shack, practices "Allah, Allah," and teaches the Zikr to
others. He recited the Darood Shareef ten-million
times in twenty-six years. He also wrote the Quran
with his own hand in 2013.
Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad holds a distinct place
among the Authorized Successors of Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRUA. The reason is the exalted honor that was
2 Majaz

only bestowed upon Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad, that
the Holy Prophet‫ﷺ‬ inscribed his name with his own
blessed hand in the list of the Successors presented
by Hazrat Allah Yar KhanRUA.
These writings of Major Ghulam Muhammad Sahib
are a precious asset for our comprehensive guidance.
These articles consist of the feelings, observations
and experiences that he went through during his
journey on the path of Salook, and constitute an
extremely rare collection of the principles of acquiring
the 'subject-specialty' of Salook.
May Allah, The Most High, bless Hazrat Ghulam
Muhammad with higher Stations and rewards, and
keep the link between our hearts, and may his
blessed shadow stay on our heads forever. Ameen,
again, Ameen.

From Chikrala
28-9-1974 Nacheez3 Allah Yar Khan
In the service of my dear Ghulam Muhammad Sahib,
Assalam-o-Alaikum,
Islam started off from an apparently very low point.
Soon, it will again be observed at a very low point.
This is the age of waywardness. It is pitch darkness
all around. It's a black night, and as the storms of
darkness blow all around, you people are shining like
luminous lamps.
The lamp that Allah has Himself lit will not be affected
by the hostile winds of blackness at all.
3 Out of humility, Hazrat Allah Yar Khan used to write "Nacheez"
with his name. It literally means "nothing".

You've written about the people who oppose Baig
Sahib and other Zaakireen4. My dear, these people
are not against you or Baig Sahib. In fact, they are the
enemies of the Deen5. They harbor enmity against the
Deen and against Allah, the Glorious. They are the
wayward, the faithless.
You can advance anyone who you think is capable.
However, you have been granted standing permission
only till Salik-al-Majzoobi6. When you come to
Chikrala, you'll also be given the written certificate to
the effect. And you have also been granted an
Appointment. Whatever (Appointment) was decided
for you by Allah SWT, Huzoor-e-Anwar7‫ﷺ‬, and the
senior Mashaikh8 has been given to you.
Your affair is unlike it used to be. Now, you are an
Authorized Successor and Abdaal9. You are among
the five companions whom Allah SWT has blessed
with His permission.
Today, the Jammaat10 has sent Rs 400 from Quetta
as the airfare, but it is difficult to go there in the month
of Ramzan. Three or four letters from Quetta also
arrived today, including one from Maulana Abdul
Qadir.

10 A group of people, in the religious sense, is called a Jamaat.

A tour of Chakwal (3-4 days), Moohra (1 day) and
Munara (2 days) has been planned just after Eid, from
26-10-74. Assalam-o-Alaikum to the whole Jamaat.
Your main responsibility in Quetta is to prepare Maulvi
Abdul Qadir, so that he may do a good job after you.

Special Instructions
Hazrat Allah Yar KhanRUA
I'm observing that in these treacherous times, the
people's spiritual capacity is declining day by day.
Moreover, I also feel a lack of effort and hard work
among the companions of the circle (of Zikr). Some of
our companions are inclined towards personal fame
and projection, and are afflicted by a rot in their
affairs.
With this background, the following special
instructions are being issued for the proper spiritual
training and guidance of my friends.
1. By Allah's blessing, the Spiritual Baet11 is
solely in my domain. The seeker's ability is a
precondition for this (Baet). Only those who
obey the Shariah and have the ache (to spread
this light to others) will be bestowed with this
supreme blessing. This will usually take place
during the Aetkaf or the annual congregation at
11 In Awaisia, the seekers that have the capability are blessed with a
spiritual oath of allegiance at the blessed hands of the Holy Prophet
(‫.)ﷺ‬

Munara, after performing due diligence (of the
candidates).
2. No one except me is authorized to take people
to the Upper Destinations. If someone has
been taken to these Destinations without me,
it's merely an illusion or wishful thinking.
Moreover, if someone has been taken beyond
the Triple Meditations without me, he should
not think that he is cleared for those Stations.
The people who have been duly Authorized
and appointed by me can take others up to the
Triple Meditations and the Triple Circles, and
can also give spiritual attention up to their own
Stations. Out of these people, today I authorize
the following for taking others through the
Stations until the Prophet's‫ﷺ‬ Court.
1. Malik Muhammad Akram, 2. Col
Matloob Hussain, 3. Syed Bunyad Hussain
Shah, 4. Hafiz Abdul Razzaq, 5.
Muhammad Ahsan Baig, 6. Hafiz Ghulam
Qadri, 7. Ghulam Muhammad (Wan
Bhachran, Mianwali), 8. Khan Muhammad
Irani, 9. Maulana Abdul Ghafoor, 10. Syed
Muhammad Hassan (Zhob)
3. The people who are not Authorized, but are
blessed with the Spiritual Baet, can teach the
Lata-if12 to others and can also give spiritual
attention until the Triple Meditations. They are
12 The subtle points located in the chest.

not permitted to give Attention to others
beyond that. However, the appointed Ameers
of the Circles of Zikr in foreign countries are
permitted to take others until the Triple
Meditations, provided that they (Ameers) are
themselves blessed with the Spiritual Baet.
Moreover, it should always be remembered that in the
path of Salook, complete adherence to the Shariah of
Muhammad‫ﷺ‬, the seeker's sincerity, the link between
his heart and the Shaykh's heart, and his obedience
to the Shaykh are extremely important affairs.
Nacheez Faqeer Allah Yar KhanRUA, from Munara 30-
8-1982 (CE)
10 Zeqad, 1402 (AH)

Become the Dust under
His Feet
I'm not going to make a speech, just teach a few
things. Remember them.
The first thing is, why do we come here13? Do we
come here to look at these walls? The land is not
ours, nor is the sky. Nor do we come here to look at
the grave. We come to this congregation only for
pleasing Allah, because people get a lot of benefit by
coming here. Other than this, we have no purpose.
Secondly, it is the mutually agreed belief of Ahl-e-
Sunnat wa-Al-Jamaat14 that Faiz (or spiritual benefit)
can be acquired from the spirit. The spirit is alive.
Death takes place when the connection of the spirit
with the body is severed. This phenomenon is known
as the demise of the form. Death, as we know it, is
the separation of the spirit from the body. The spirit
itself never dies. This is also the mutually agreed
13 This excerpt is from Hazrat Jee's address at Langar Makhdoom,
the resting place of Hazrat Allah Deen Madni Rehmatullah Alaih
14 A branch of Muslims that follows the way of the Sunnah and the
way of the righteous ancestors.

belief to which all religions (schools of Fiqh) testify.
We have an origin, we were created, but we'll never
perish. Just as the Paradise and the Hell will never
perish and will be eternally present. In the same way,
the Guarded Tablet, Kursi15 (Allah's Throne), the
rewards, the virgins and the servants of Paradise will
never perish.
Now, we come to our affair. Understand this. Even if
we keep sitting beside the grave for a hundred years,
we can never acquire Faiz until we are not connected
to the Shaykh and his spirit. The connection can only
be established if a living person connects us with him.
There are thousands of veils between us and them
(the dwellers of the graves). We think of the grave to
be a mound of dust, but actually there are countless
veils that separate us from them. So, there has to be
such a person who tears through these veils, takes us
to the other side and establishes our connection and
relationship with the person of the grave. Only then
can the Faiz be extracted. For acquiring the Faiz, it is
imperative to have a Shaykh.
A few days back, I was sitting in Nowshehra when a
Maulvi Sahib came to see me. He was quite learned
and educated (in the matters of the Deen) and had
been teaching Hadees in Akora Khatak for a long
time. He asked two questions. The first one was: can
the Faiz be acquired from the spirit or the grave
without having a Shaykh? I said no. He asked: then
15 Allah's Chair or Throne

how come you were able to extract Faiz from the
grave? I said: I have also reached there through a
living person. My teacher, who established my
connection with my Shaykh, was the means of my
knowledge.
The second question he asked was: what is the
difference between an Arif16 and a Zakir17? I replied
that it's a logically sound principle that defines the
two. Every Arif is a Zakir, but every Zakir is not an
Arif. To be a Zakir, no teacher of Shaykh is needed.
One can keep doing Zikr all one's life by oneself.
However, to be an Arif, it is mandatory to have a
Shaykh. He cannot progress without a Shaykh. In
order to tread on the Destinations of Salook,
obedience to the Shaykh is just as crucial as if
someone is holding the walking stick of a blind man
and leading him along the bank of a river. The blind
man will walk directly behind his guide. He will not
dare to take a step to the left or right, because he
knows that if he does not follow the guide, he will
drown and perish in the river, or will be devoured by a
crocodile. He follows completely and without fail,
matching each step with his guide.
Or take the example of a blind man following
someone holding his walking stick as he climbs to the
top of a mountain. He will follow straight behind his
guide, because he knows that if he does not follow
16 Arif comes from Irfan, which means 'knowledge'. Arif is someone
who has the knowledge of Allah.
17 The person who engages in Zikr regularly

the guide precisely, he will fall to his bone-crushing
death. Scavengers will feed on him. In the same way,
one has to walk behind the Shaykh in Salook and
obey him completely. Or take the example of
someone who is standing on a rooftop or mountain
top and flying a kite. The kite soars high and may fly
two or three miles away from the person flying it, but if
the string breaks, the kite will crash into the trees and
get torn apart and destroyed. Why? Because, the
string that connected the kite to its flyer breaks. The
connection breaks. The relationship breaks. The kite
does not fall immediately. It is carried by the wind,
circles for some time, and finally, crashes. Similarly,
when the connection with the Shaykh breaks, even a
person having the highest Destinations falls gradually
and is destroyed.
Obedience to the Shaykh is also mandatory for the
Lata-if. For instance, if a sick person goes to a doctor
or a physician, the latter prescribes medicine and diet
for the patient. He tells the patient what is beneficial to
him and also advises the patient to refrain from
certain things. And the patient has to follow the
instructions. On the other hand, there are certain
prerequisites for becoming a Shaykh as well. Many
people have been ruined as a result of following
ignorant and wrongful guides. The first condition for
the Shaykh is that he must be an Aalim18. It's not that
only the person who has read many books is an
18 A person who is knowledgeable in the matters of the Deen

Aalim. The illustrious Companions19RAA did not read
any books. Most of the Tab'een20 did not read books.
They memorized everything that the Holy Prophet‫ﷺ‬
said. Then, the Shaykh must know the beliefs of the
Ahl-e-Sunnat-wa-Al-Jamaat. Remember! This thing
(Salook) is found nowhere except with Ahl-e-Sunnat-
wa-Al-Jamaat. It is not there in any other sect. There
is no one in the world who can say that they have it,
except Ahl-e-Sunnat-wa-Al-Jamaat. I have examined
all the four Schools (of Fiqh). There's more Light in
Hanfia, and the majority of the Sufis belongs to the
Hanfia School. So, it is mandatory for the Shaykh to
be an Aalim. It is strictly forbidden to do Baet with an
ignorant person. The person taking and doing such a
Baet are both sinners and wrongdoers. The next
requirement is that the Shaykh must be a follower of
the Shariah. He must be a regular performer of the
mandatory worships (Fardh), obligatory worships
(Wajib), and compulsory Sunnah worships
(Muakkida). He may or may not perform the voluntary
worships (Nafl), but the performance of the Fardh,
Wajib and Sunnat Muakkida is a must. Nafl is not a
compulsion. But, if he does perform them, he should
perform Tahajjud and Awwabeen, and should look
after his Qalb. All these things are extremely
important for a Shaykh. All the Ulema21 are
unanimous on this. He must be an expert at the
knowledge that he has gained (Tasawwuf). It is not
19 Sahaba Karaam, or the Companions of the Holy Prophet (SAW)
20 The successors of the Sahaba

necessary that he is more pious and righteous than
his disciples. Piety is a different thing. We know that if
the whole Jamaat is weighed against Qazi Sahib in
piety, Qazi Sahib's side will be heavier. It's obvious,
but it's not a condition for becoming the Shaykh.
However, he must be an expert in the particular
knowledge that someone wants to acquire from him. It
must not happen that he distorts that knowledge.
The Quran has laid down four conditions for the
Shaykh. (1) He should be hardworking and tough like
a camel, (2) He should have a determination as high
as the sky, (3) He should be steadfast like a
mountain, (4) He should be balanced like the earth;
i.e. he must have the humility and selflessness. If you
get such a Shaykh, become the dust under his feet.
Become the lace in his shoe. I have taught you this
lesson (Tasawwuf) on these very conditions. Among
the etiquettes with the Shaykh, let me mention the
major things that I have observed and that harm the
seeker. Do not stare at the Shaykh's face. The doctor
or the physician must be obeyed for taking the
medicine. If the patient does not follow the
instructions, he will not be healed, or he may even
die.
These days, the biggest trouble is that the knowledge
of Tasawwuf has become extinct. Its experts are there
no more, and the world has denied its existence.
There's no spiritual physician to be found, no guide. If
you read the Quran, from the beginning to the end, it
detaches one from the world and invites attention

towards Allah. Get focused on Allah and connect with
Him.
The gist of 104 heavenly scriptures is in four Books;
and the gist of these four Books is in the Holy Quran;
and the gist of the whole Quran is in Surah Baqrah;
and the gist of the whole Surah Baqrah is in Surah
Fateha; and the gist of the whole Surah Fateha is in
Bismillah; and the gist of the Bismillah is in the letter
"‫"ب‬22. This is the "‫"ب‬ of togetherness (with Allah).
The purpose of sending the Prophets is that the
people who have broken their link with God and are
trapped in the claws of the Satan are set free and
joined with Allah. The Prophets are deputed to
connect the whole mankind with Allah. The Quran
stresses that people should get distracted from the
world and get joined with Allah. The one who refutes
this (Tasawwuf) is deprived of this reward and
blessing. Some of them are absolute deniers. Some
are copycats and color-sellers. Then, there are the
ordinary folks, who do not appreciate the difference
between a color seller, a color copier, and a color
maker. They do not distinguish a doctor from a
pharmacist. They are unable to differentiate between
a patient and a healer. All of them are suffering from
the disease of the Heart, barring very few.
There are three degrees of Tasawwuf. The first one is
to do Zikr with the tongue, that one should just repeat
Allah, Allah. One should say Subhan-Allah, or La-
22 Arabic letter B

Ilaha-ill-Allah. The Darood Sharif or the Astaghfar
should be recited. This is the degree where the
medicine is being prepared. This is not Tasawwuf.
The condition will not improve unless the medicine is
used. The second degree is Lata-if, where the person
starts using the medicine and the treatment has
started. The next step is the Destinations, as if the
patient has used the medicine and gained the ability
to walk and run.
Allah SWT has commanded that the houses where
Allah's Zikr is performed must be kept free of filthy
and stinky things. There should be nothing evil at that
place. There should be solitude, and the light should
be put off. If there is light, you can cover your head
with a piece of cloth. Our master the Holy Prophet‫ﷺ‬
adopted solitude in the cave of Hira. Detachment from
the world and engagement in worship is the practice
(Sunnah) of the ProphetsALS.
The floor where Zikr is being done should be
considered sacred and kept clean. When Prophet
MosesALS was conversing with Allah, it was decreed:
Take off your shoes. This is a holy place. The water
supply coming from outside, from a lake through
pipes, is polluted by impurities. Block this external
supply, so that nothing from the outside world enters
into your Heart. That's why we close our eyes, ears
and mouth, so that they stop letting in the impurities
from the external world. Now, bore into your Heart
with Zikr-Allah. Install the pump of Allah's Zikr on it.
And fountains of Divine Lights will spring forth. When

this water of Lights will flow, it will cleanse the Hearts
of others as well, and from this water of Lights,
Kashf23 will be achieved.
Some Ulema and even Sufis have said that the non-
believers also have Kashf. Upon research, it was
revealed that Kashf depends upon the Light of Faith
(Iman). Without the Light of Faith, there's no Kashf.
The Light of Faith is intensified by good deeds. A
person of Faith does have the capacity for Kashf in
his/her Heart, where the Light of Faith is present.
Kashf is related to the Light of Faith. For example, it is
not the eyes that see, but the light behind them. The
loud speaker does not speak, but the person behind
it. The Qalb does not see by itself, but the Light of
righteous deeds inside it does. How can a non-
believer possess the Light of Faith or do righteous
deeds? There are non-believers who become monks.
Through tough training, their flesh is reduced to bare
bones. The blood in their bodies is reduced. When the
blood is reduced, whiteness is produced in the Heart.
If anyone has doubts, you can do a simple
experiment. Take an animal's liver and place it in the
sun. After some time, you can see your reflection in it,
just like you can see it in a stainless-steel utensil or a
mirror. In the same way, when the blood is reduced,
the Heart will start shining. It will reflect whatever
comes in front of it. If it's a mountain, you'll see the
reflection of it. If it's a tree, you'll see a tree. And if a
person comes in front of it, you will see that person's
23 Paranormal Vision

reflection. This is not Kashf. Kashf is related to the
Light of Faith. You cannot see an angel or Jinn in a
mirror. You cannot see the retribution and reward of
the grave in it. Nor can you see the Paradise, the Hell,
or any other subtle entity. Whiteness is born in a non-
believer's Heart because of a lack of blood and flesh,
which people mistake as Kashf.
The non-believers' condition can be explained by the
analogy of an ocean, in which there are gigantic
waves. One wave is followed by the next, and they
are covered by the shadow of the clouds—darkness
upon darkness. A non-believer's actions, his words,
and the beliefs in his heart are nothing except
darkness. A person's hand is the closest to him or
her. You can take your hand to your eyes, or your
head, and can move it about. But the non-believer
cannot see even their own hand in this pitch
darkness. If Allah has not created the Light for a
person, from where can the Light possibly come for
that person? It's a common misconception that non-
believers have Kashf. We can present not a
thousand, but several thousand Sufis. In our Circle of
Zikr, there are 800-900 companions who are blessed
with Kashf and who can talk to spirits. They can
perceive the punishment of the grave and the reward,
and can converse with angels. But, for this to happen,
a Clean Heart is a must. No personage is greater than
the CompanionsRAA. Many illustrious personalities
came after the Prophets, but no one can reach the
status of the CompanionsRAA.

An Aalim once stated the superiority of Imam Mehdi
over the Shaykhs (Companions). I said to him to
come to his senses and listen to me. We consider
Imam Mehdi to be a very high personage, but he is no
match for Hazrat Abu Bakr SiddiqueRAA and Hazrat
Umar FarooqRAA. Imam Mehdi will come centuries
after them. There is no comparison between him and
the Companions of the Prophet‫ﷺ‬. Even then, Allah
warned them, "say to them (O Prophet), that unless
your fathers, sons, wives, tribes and families, the
money that you earn, the business in which you fear a
loss, the houses where you live, if all these things are
dearer to you than Allah and His Prophet, you just
wait! Allah does not guide the sinners." Father, son,
wealth, or anything else, when someone brings it at
par with Allah and His Prophet‫ﷺ‬, such a person is a
sinner. His Heart is not intact, but is stained with the
love of the other. If the Quran has warned even the
CompanionsRAA, so where do we stand? There is but
a single Heart, not two. Allah says that if someone
else enters this house (Heart), it is as if you are
ascribing that person or thing as My partner. This will
lead to anxiety. So, a man must think.
The age that we live in is a transient age. Keep in
mind that our relationship with our wife and kids,
wealth, property, business, or the livestock that we
own, must be a relationship of protecting and
managing these things, so that they are not spoiled.
The link of the Heart must only be established with
Allah. The worships also depend on this link. When

Zikr-Allah comes, it brings the Love of Allah and
expels other things from the Heart.
Hazrat SulaimanALS wrote a letter to Queen Bilqees,
that she must quit the arrogance, vanity and pride that
occupy her mind and come to him after converting to
a Muslim. She understood that this letter was from a
man of Allah, because he had made no other
demands. She called her deputies, advisors and
generals, told them about the letter, and asked for
their advice. All of them said that they were a
formidable power. They had a lot of strength and a
huge army. They were a warlike nation. However,
they said that the Queen's verdict was the final
command for them. They would do exactly as she
said. The Queen said that when a king enters a city
with his brutal force, he ravages it and humiliates the
honorable of that city. If their city were attacked, they
would be routed.
We, all of us who are sitting here today, are
respectable people. If pride and vanity entrenches in
our Hearts, we shall be humiliated too. Allah's Zikr
expels this cursed sentiment from the Heart. As a
result, a Clean Heart is born, in which only Allah
resides. A young relative of mine once asked Qazi
Sahib that he had read explanations of the Quran
(Tafseer), but could not understand what a Clean
Heart24 is. I said to them, let me tell you about the
Clean Heart. Imagine that the earth, the heaven, and
24 Qalb-e-Saleem

the creation that they contain, is a chicken. Then,
slaughter that chicken. What will be left behind then?
Only Allah, and nothing else. How can the Heart go
elsewhere? It will go straight to Allah's door. This is
the Clean Heart.

Keep Praying for Your
Steadfastness
My Murshed Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRUA wrote
the following on November 7, 1963 in reply to a letter
from one of his students:
"You don't know that I have also spent 16 years. It
was after 16 years that tiny water droplets emerged.
After 20 years, the waves of a river started. After 22
years, the river swelled up into a storm. And after
twenty-three-and-a-half years, the waves of a sea
were born. Remember that Salook starts from the
Station of Ahdiyyat, and half of it finishes by the
Kamalaat-e-Ulul-Azmi. From there on, the remaining
half of Allah's Friendship belongs to Prophet
Muhammad‫ﷺ‬. Beyond the Ninth Arsh, the Realm of
Astonishment or the Realm of Commandment starts,
in which several Destinations are located. The last
Destination is the Station of Tasleem, where the
Friendship (Wilayat) of the Aulia25 ends. From there,
25 Pl of Wali. Means friend, but used in the sense of Allah's
Friendship.

the Friendship of the Prophets starts, which includes
the Stations of Khulah, Muhabbat, Takleemi,
Muhibbiyat-e-Khasa, Hub-e-Sarfa, Raza, and
onwards the Station of Kamalaat-e-Nabuwwat,
Kamalaat-e-Risalat, and then, Ulul-Azmi. From there,
the Friendship of our master Hazrat Muhammad‫ﷺ‬
starts, in which there are gigantic waves of the sea.
This wrongdoer is swimming and drowning in these
waves. Remember that none of the Aulia-Allah has
ever reached beyond the Station of Khulah, except
Shaykh Abdul Qadir JilaniRUA. This is the bounty of
Allah, which He grants to whomever He wants.
ُ‫ء‬‫َا‬‫ش‬َ‫ي‬ ْ‫ن‬َ‫م‬ ِ‫ه‬‫ي‬ِ‫ت‬ْ‫ؤ‬ُ‫ي‬ ِ ‫ه‬‫اَّلل‬ ُ‫ل‬ْ‫ض‬َ‫ف‬ َ‫ك‬ِ‫ل‬َ‫ذ‬
This is beyond the capability of a human. This
blessing is the envy of kings. The throne of Caesar
and the territories of Alexander are no match for it.
My dear friend! Always keep praying to God. This is
not anyone's personal excellence. Beyond the Station
of Raza, the nature of the relationship between a
Wali-Allah and God becomes similar to the nature of
the relationship between God and the ProphetsALS.
Beyond this Station, the Wali also starts acquiring
Faiz from Allah in the same way as the Prophets
acquire Faiz. This knowledge and understanding was
revealed after (I crossed) the Station of Raza.
However, the Wali acquires this Faiz because of his
obedience to the Prophets and by properly following
them. It is impossible to receive this blessing without

following the ProphetsALS. The Prophet acquires this
Faiz directly.
‫ا‬ً‫م‬ْ‫ل‬ِ‫ع‬ ‫ي‬ِ‫ن‬ْ‫د‬ ِ‫ز‬ ِِّ‫ب‬‫ه‬‫ر‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬‫ت‬ْ‫م‬‫ه‬‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ ‫ا‬َ‫م‬ ‫ه‬‫إَل‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬َ‫ل‬ ‫م‬ْ‫ل‬ِ‫ع‬ َ‫َل‬ ‫انك‬َ‫ح‬ْ‫ب‬ُ‫س‬
Dear friend, do not speak about these things openly.
My dear! I preach now because I am tasked to preach
by the Mashaykh and the Holy Prophet‫ﷺ‬. I teach of
the books, and engage in the worldly business to
some extent. I give my Attention, conduct Zikr and
teach Salook. But, my heart just wants to be alone
with Allah, without anyone else coming between us.
What I did not know, God has blessed me with. I
thank His Being a million times. Only He is the fulfiller
of all my needs. Only He is sufficient. Only He is to be
trusted, worshipped and prostrated before. Only He is
the objective. There is no other god but Allah, Allah,
Allah.
Keep these things in your heart. My Lord will ask me:
O Allah Yar, what have you written? Why have you
revealed the secret? Did anyone out of the previous
(Aulia) mention these Destinations?"
Six year later, on November 9, 1969, my Shaykh
wrote in reply to another student:
"I received your letter. You have asked about the
Doubts26 (that the Satan puts in the hearts). Dear
friend, the same thing is not written again and again.
26 The actual word is "waswasa". These are the negative thoughts
that the Satan injects into the hearts of people.

Remember it once and for all: the Doubts do not
affect the Friendship (Wilayat), nor do they undermine
the excellence (achieved in the way of Salook). There
is no conflict between the Doubt and the Friendship.
The Friendship stays intact even when the Doubt
keeps happening. Even Hazrat AdamALS was affected
by the Doubt, though he was a Prophet of Allah. The
Doubt just causes anxiety of the Heart. Secondly, the
pests do not enter the house in which there are no
grains (of rice, wheat, etc). The Doubt also happens
to the person who has this treasure. Thieves and
dacoits only commit theft or robbery where there is
wealth. When the Lights are born in the Lata-if, when
the treasure of Lights is created, Iblees27, who is the
thief and the burglar, gets an ache in his stomach to
break into that house and plunder this wealth. Before
the Lata-if were lit up, there was pitch darkness in the
inner world. The thief Iblees used to steal easily. Now,
when the inside has been illuminated by the Light of
Allah's Zikr, and the Lata-if can also be heard
chanting Allah-Allah, this thief cannot fully achieve his
aim. He wants to adopt every tactic to get what he
wants. The seeker who understands that Iblees is the
enemy and wants to rob him by every means never
cares for the Doubt, and remains steadfast upon Zikr.
The reality is that the Jamaat of Sufia Arifeen28started
toward the end of the fifth century (AH) and their
numbers remained substantial until the beginning of
27 Satan's name
28 Pl of Sufi and Arif

the tenth century. They had ample presence in all
territories. The Jamaat of the Ulema was huge. Until
the fourth century (AH), the disciples of the Taba-
Tabaeen29 were alive. Upon their demise, Allah SWT
created this Jamaat of Aulia in large numbers. The
accomplished personalities that I see in the Barzakh30
belong to the times between the 5th and the 10th
century (AH). Those from whom we have acquired the
Faiz also belong to the same age. Then, after the
10th century, their numbers dwindled. Then, in the
14th century, God save us! Only shopkeepers remain.
There's no shortage of the shopkeeper Sufis. They
are the color mixers, color sellers, but none of them is
a color maker. However, it does happen sometimes
that when the rain of Allah's Lights pours down, it
showers upon these people. Allah SWT keeps
creating the Aulia from time to time. Their affair is
similar to that of the Prophets, out of whom some are
Ulul-Azam31, some are Rasools32, and some are
Nabis33. The Ulul-Azam are born once in every few
centuries. The Rasools are also sent after long gaps.
The Nabis have been coming in every time and age.

Upon the demise of the Revered Prophet‫ﷺ‬, the earth
cried bitterly, as is mentioned in Qazi Ayaz's Al-Shafi
Haqooq Al-Mustafa, and its explanation by Mullah Ali
Qari, Tanzeel Makka, and in Naseem-ul-Riaz by
Allama Shahab Khafaji. Allah SWT pacified the earth,
that 'I shall bring forth Siddique34 and Qutb-e-
Wahdat35 in the earth'. Your Shaykh's Appointment is
also Qutb-e-Wahdat (in 1969). And Allah said 'I will
bring forth Afraad, Qayyum and Ghaus36. Someone
will be Qutb-e-Irshad, someone will be Qutb-e-
Madaar, someone will be Qutb-al-Aqtaab, and
someone will be Qutb-e-Abdaal. And there will be
Abdaal too, who will be the peons of the Qutb-e-
Abdaal. And I shall not leave the earth empty (of
these noble souls)'. The lower Ranks get the Faiz
from the person at the highest Appointment. If there's
a Siddique present, who is not present today, the Faiz
descends from him. If there's a Qutb-e-Wahdat
present, all the rest of the Appointments get the Faiz
from him. If he is not present, it's through the Qayyum
that the others get the Faiz, and if there's no Qayyum,
then because of the Ghaus. The Qayyum and the
Afraad, and the Qutb-e-Wahdat, and the Siddique—
these people Allah creates rarely, after several
centuries. These are the Appointments for the Ulul-
Azm. As for you people, despite being occupied in
your (worldly) businesses, and eating Haraam37

earning, and living in the company of sinners,
listening to music, making your eyes guilty of (looking
at) Haraam38, despite all this, you are still a member
of this Jamaat, and the Lights of Zikr don't get taken
away from you—this also is the blessing of your
Shaykh's spiritual power and a Mercy from Allah.
Otherwise, far be it from paid servants to acquire this
extremely delicate thing. Son, you must be thankful to
God. Always pray for your steadfastness. Read this
letter to your companions, all of it. But only to the
selected few, not to everyone.

The Last Guide Hazrat
Maulana Allah Yar KhanRA
Major (Retd) Ghulam Muhammad
He was born in 1904. His ancestral country is the
town of Chikrala, located 10 kilometers north of the
highway connecting Mianwali and Talagang. Most of
the population here belongs to the Awan tribe. He
was also an Awan. His father's name was Zulfiqar.
Formal education was not very common in those
times. A fifth-grader was considered to be well read
and learned. The British were ruling India. The
twentieth century was beginning to unfold and the
signs of disturbance and unrest were beginning to
surface across India. When the campaigns against
the Turk Caliphate were underway in the Balqans in
1907-1908, the Muslims of India also felt severely
agitated. It was the same feeling of restlessness that
incited the leader of Deo Band39 Maulana Mehmood-
ul-Hassan to launch a new freedom movement
among the Muslims. Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar
KhanRUA was still in his childhood, but a disdain for
the British settled into his heart.
39 A major Islamic school in India

One night, his mother dreamed that a saint had come
to their house. He gave her two pouches and said that
they were for her son. The two pouches represented
the knowledge of the visible (Zahir) and the hidden
(Batin). The Shaykh left for DeoBand to acquire the
knowledge of the apparent. He had to go to Delhi for
the course of Hadees, because the Deoband School
was closed those days on account of the Silk
Handkerchief Movement. The teachers of Deoband
had either been imprisoned by the British or sent into
exile. Those who were free had diverted to the
Ameenia School in Delhi, which was being run under
the supervision of Maulana Mufti Kifayatullah. After
graduating from Delhi, he went to Langar Makhdoom,
where he met Hazrat Maulana Abdul RaheemRUA,
through whom his spiritual link was established with
Sultan-ul-Arifeen Hazrat Allah Deen MadniRUA. He
acquired the Faiz through the Awaisi Method from the
resting place of his Murshed. Here, he was initiated
into the learning of the hidden. Because it was the
Awaisia Silsila40, the completion of his mystical
education happened at the hands of our master
Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa‫ﷺ‬.
Once Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRUA fell sick and
I went to Chikrala to see him. Doctor Ghulam Mustafa
from Joharabad was also there. Hazrat JeeRUA told us
that when he was at Langar Makhdoom, and when his
Murshed Hazrat Allah Deen MadniRUA took him
40 Can be loosely translated as a spiritual order or chain of
succession

through the Destinations of Fana-Fillah and Baqa-
Billah, he returned home after taking permission from
his Murshed. When he reached home, he fell sick with
severe fever that just refused to abate. The stomach
was repulsed by food and drink. Vomiting and
motions made him extremely feeble. This condition
persisted for 40 days, and he used to offer
Namaz41with gestures. On the fortieth day, his family
and friends lost hope of his recovery and started
reciting Surah Yaseen42.
"My eyes were closed, when suddenly a saintly figure
appeared. He said to me: 'I'm your Murshed. You did
not have the strength to progress further, so your
body was made weak to strengthen the spirit.' He
said—'Go to Ahdiyyat43'. Then he took me through
Maeeyat and Aqrabiyyat, and then performed Fana-
Baqa. Then, he said—'Go to Salik Al-Majzoobi'. Then
he took me through the River of Rehmat, and gave
me new clothes to wear. 'From here, the Upper
Friendship (Wilayat-e-Uzma) starts. The clothes that
are given to the spirit at Ahdiyyat only last until here.
The attire for the Upper Friendship is different.' He
said that I was healthy and well. The fever subsided
immediately, and I sat up. My family members asked
me to lie down, but I said that I had recovered. They
touched my skin and discovered that the fever was
really gone. It had been sixteen years since I started

Zikr. It was now that I had started to see…with my
eyes closed.
After about a week or ten days when I went to Langar
Makhdoom, I narrated the whole incident to Maulana
Abdul RaheemRUA. He was exasperated. He angrily
stepped out towards the tomb of Hazrat Allah Deen
MadniRUA. I also followed. Upon reaching the tomb, he
said to the Murshed that he had been superseded
while his disciple had been promoted (above him).
This was an insult to him, he said. Hazrat Allah Deen
MadniRUA counseled Maulana Abdul Raheem that you
are my grave's caretaker, whereas he is Shaykh-e-
Silsila44. It is he for whose training I've been sent here
from the luminous city of Madina. Be warned! Never
try to rival him, or you'll suffer a great loss. After this
incident, our positions became rather awkward. I
considered him my teacher and respected him like
before, whereas he started respecting me considering
me Shaykh-e-Silsila. Allah SWT did not allow this
situation to continue for long, and called Maulana
Abdul Raheem to Him. Maulana Abdul Raheem
himself used to say that doing the Zikr on the Lata-if
at Hazrat Allah Deen Madni'sRUA tomb is far more
beneficial than doing it elsewhere."
Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRUA told us that he is
the Last Shaykh of Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia. Only
one more chair remains vacant in the Court of the
Prophet‫ﷺ‬, and that is reserved for Imam Mehdi. He
44 The Leader of the Awaisi Silsilais the person who extracts the
Faiz from Barzakh and reintroduces the Silsilainto this world.

said that there's a gap of not more than five to six
hundred years between Imam Mehdi and him. And
that the people trained in his Silsila will insha-Allah
meet Imam Mehdi.

Memories of Him
This was February 1970. I was in Risalpur. This was
the year when I learned many new things. It all started
after a few days of Muhammad Ahsan Baig's arrival at
Risalpur. I had met him only a couple of times and
during our conversations, he had mentioned his
spiritual teacher Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar Khan. He
was among the top Ulema of Pakistan and was a
high-level debater against the Shiah sect. I had seen
large posters of his speeches and meetings, but had
not met him so far.
One day, I went to Ahsan Baig to get some paint. My
unit was due for a technical inspection, and nobody in
Risalpur had the required paint, except him. Captain
Ahsan Baig promised to give me the paint the next
day, and told me that Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar Khan
Sahib had come to visit him. There was going to be a
session of Zikr that night. He urged me to attend the
session. I was connected to Khanqah Sirajia in
Kundian, and was linked to Hazrat Maulana Khan
Muhammad for almost eleven years. I was confused
about whether I should go for Zikr or not. We had
planned to watch a movie in the club that same

evening. Two or three cars arrived at my home to pick
me up for going to the club before the appointed time.
I was double-minded. If I didn’t go to Ahsan Baig's
house, he would get angry and might refuse to give
me the paint. Hence, my technical inspection could be
ruined. Considering that I really needed the paint, I
declined to go to the club. Instead, I changed into a
shalwar qameez and went to Ahsan Baig's house.
As I entered the drawing room, the respected Hazrat
had just come out (of the bathroom) after doing the
Wazu45. Ahsan Baig introduced me. I extended my
hand, but the respected Hazrat ignored me and
passed by me. For the first time, I felt that perhaps I
was not even worthy of a handshake with a pious
person of Allah.
I started walking behind him. Hazrat Jee crossed the
road and entered the small Cantonment Board
mosque to lead the Namaz. I also performed the
Wazu and joined the Jamaat. As soon as Hazrat Jee
started the recitation, I felt overwhelmed by a strange
urge to cry, and I kept on weeping spontaneously
throughout the Namaz. When the Namaz was over,
everyone gathered at Ahsan Baig's house. I also sat
in the front row along with the other officers, including
Capt (Brig) Muhammad Haneef, Capt (Maj) Umar
Hayat, Capt Zain-ul-Abideen, and Flt Lt Hadi Hussain
Shah. A tall man stood up and started telling
everyone that their Silsila was Naqshbandia Awaisia.
45 The ablution performed before the Salat

They practiced the Zikr by the method of Paas-
Anfaas46. He explained that they would sit down in
rows on the left side of their Shaykh facing the Qibla,
close their eyes and mouths, switch off the lights, and
make the Zikr of Allah-Hu strike their Lata-if
repeatedly, with each breath. He said that they
acquired the spiritual Faiz through the medium of their
Shaykh, directly from Hazrat Muhammad‫ﷺ‬, the
Prophet of Allah. After giving this introduction, he
inquired from Hazrat Jee about me, whether I should
keep sitting in the session of Zikr.
Hazrat Jee said that the dust of the town from which I
came did not possess the capability to absorb the
Faiz. He said the only thing we had learned from our
elders was to oppose Allah's Friends. "How can he do
Zikr?" he said. Upon hearing this, the tall man sternly
ordered me to get up and leave. I stood up, but the
humiliation and insult had drained me of the energy to
take a single step. I sat on the sandals at the back.
Meanwhile, the light had been switched off, and
Hazrat Jee started the Zikr by saying "Subhan-Allah-e
Wal-Hamdu-Lillah-e wa La-Ilaha IlAllahu wa Allah-o
Akbar wa Lahaula wa la Quwwata Illa Billahil AliYil
Azeem; Auoozu Billahe Minash-shaitaanir Rajeem;
Bismillah Ar-rahmanir Raheem; Allah Allah Allah Hu;
Chalo pehla Lateefa Qalb."
After 15-20 minutes had passed, I felt as if there was
light in the room. I instinctively closed my eyes. After
46 Literally means "guarding each breath"

a few minutes, I could feel that the light in the room
had become extremely bright. I opened my eyes, and
they almost popped out to see what was happening.
The Lights were emanating from Hazrat Jee's blessed
chest in the form of Flashes, which were enveloping
the other people's chests. These Flashes of Light
were making the room incredibly bright. I was
stunned. "What kind of a person is he, O Allah? We
had read about such people in books. How can he be
born in this day and age?"
By the time the session was over, I had become fully
convinced about Hazrat Jee's spiritual excellence. I
had decided to never let go of such a person, even if
he did not consider me worthy of his company. As
soon as the light was switched on, I got up and fell at
Hazrat Jee's feet. I broke down in tears and kept
crying involuntarily. When the burden on my heart
lightened, Hazrat Jee put his hand on my head and
said, "Son, the feeling of guilt is a big asset a man can
have. When a person feels that he has sinned and
strayed, he can come back on the right track. But if
this feeling dies, life becomes useless. Whatever time
of life you are left with, spend it in the remembrance
of Allah. Join the people of Allah. Be regular in
Namaz. Appreciate the difference between the
Permissible and the Forbidden."
The conversation about the Deen continued in that
gathering for quite some time. When I returned home,
it was late and I was starving. I asked my wife for
dinner, but she said I should ask for food from the

same people with whom I had spent the whole
evening. So, I had to sleep with an empty stomach
that night. Because of that marital disturbance, I could
not visit Hazrat Jee for the next two days. On the third
day, Hazrat Jee was sitting in a tonga (horse-cart)
and going towards the house of Sergeant Muhammad
Ashraf, a companion from the Air Force. I was busy
tending to the flowerbeds in my lawn when Ahsan
Baig asked me to grab my bicycle and come after
Hazrat Jee. I followed him on my bike and reached
Sergeant Muhammad Ashraf's house. This was my
second Zikr with Hazrat JeeRUA.
After I got connected with the Awaisia Silsila, both of
my elder brothers also joined me. We were also
joined by three sons of my uncle Hakeem Muhammad
Hussain, my father in law, and a few others from my
family, and the like of a Jamaat was created in Wan
Bhachran. Whenever my uncle Muhammad Hussain
saw me, he advised me to recite La Haula wa La
Quwwata. He was sure that I was involved in some
Satanic activity. He observed us closely for a whole
year. One day, he said to me, "I don't know whether
you people are right or wrong, but I have seen that my
sons have become righteous after joining the
company of Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar KhanRUA. They
never used to bother even about offering Namaz
before, but now they have grown beards. They have
quit bad actions and become regular in Tahajjud47."
He said that he also wanted to practice Lata-if with
47 The early morning Namaz

me. I performed Lata-if on him for two or three days.
After a few days, Mufti Ghulam Samdani came to
Wan Bhachran and took uncle Hakeem through the
Meditations until the Masjid. My elder brother Ghulam
Hussain wrote to me that something unexpected had
happened. Our uncle was still shaky (about Zikr and
Lata-if), and Mufti Ghulam Samdani had taken him all
the way until the Masjid. I replied to him and asked
him not to have doubt in the Destinations performed
by Mufti Sahib, and give the Attention to uncle
Hakeem until the Masjid. Meanwhile, Hazrat JeeRUA
wrote to uncle Hakeem and invited him to visit
Munara. He obeyed Hazrat Jee'sRUA order and
reluctantly went to Munara, but he still had doubts
about the Destinations to which he had been
advanced.
One day, Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman was
performing the Zikr routine with the Jamaat. When
they reached Sair-e-Kaaba, a spell of tears overtook
my uncle. He kept weeping and praying while holding
on to the covering of the Kaaba in his heart.
Meanwhile, the Jamaat had reached Masjid-e-Nabvi‫ﷺ‬.
Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman asked Mufti Ghulam
Samdani, "Have you ever seen an accepted prayer? If
you want to see it, look at Hakeem Muhammad
Hussain, who is still clutching the covering of the
Kaaba, crying and praying. Look how his prayer is
hitting the Higher Arsh48". My uncle later told me that
48 Translated as the Throne. It's the higher Sky or Level where Allah
says He has settled.

he was astonished to hear about his condition from
Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman. How could he tell all
this? The rest of the Jamaat had already reached
Masjid-e-Nabvi. After that, my uncle's heart was
satisfied and he was attached with Hazrat with full
conviction.
In the beginning, I also used to wonder about Hazrat
Jee'sRUA spiritual power. I wrote a letter about it to my
previous Shaykh Hazrat Maulana Khan Muhammad
(the Caretaker of Khanqah Sirajia, Kundian). The
letter also included some excerpts from Dalail-as-
Salook and some incidents and circumstances that I
had witnessed in the company of Hazrat Jee. He
replied: "My dear! Maulana Allah Yar Khan is the
Shaykh of Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia. Only
someone from Awaisia can speak about him. In any
case, you continue to practice regularly the
Recitations that I have prescribed."
I travelled with Hazrat JeeRUA from Rawalpindi to
Karachi towards the end of 1970. Muhammad Yousuf
and Basheer were also travelling with Hazrat JeeRUA. I
was assigned with the task of serving my Murshed.
When Hazrat Jee went to the train's washroom to do
Wazu for the Namaz of Asr, I sat down close to
Yousuf sahib and asked him about the condition of
my deceased parents in the Barzakh. He told me that
my mother was in Nijat49, but my father was under
49 Salvation

Azaab50. I did not believe him, because my father was
a very pious person. I got up and went towards the
washroom. When Hazrat JeeRUA came out, he told me
that the accursed Satan had thrown a piece of rotten
flesh at his back as soon as he had entered the
washroom. It had made his shirt dirty. He had tried to
wash it, but the stain remained. After the Namaz,
when Hazrat JeeRUA sat down in his seat, I asked him
about the condition of my parents in the Barzakh.
Hazrat JeeRUA stared out of the window for some time
and then said: the mother is fine, but the father is
under the Azaab. Now I had no other option but to
accept it. Muhammad Yousuf requested Hazrat
JeeRUA to pray for the deliverance of my father. Hazrat
JeeRUA prayed, and my father was released from the
Retribution of the grave.
This was confirmed after a few days by Captain Zain-
ul-Abideen in Risalpur. He was sitting in my house. I
requested him to tell me about the condition of my
father in the Barzakh. He used to refrain from
revealing the matters of Kashf, but I persuaded him
with great difficulty. He said that as he had not seen
my father's grave, I should lead him there. So I said to
him, 'let's go to my father's grave'. Just to test him, I
thought about another grave in the graveyard of
Ghundi (Kundian). When he saw the person in the
grave, he opened his eyes and said to me that the
person in the grave was saying he was not my father.
I asked him what that person looked like and he told it
50 Punishment

correctly. Then, I asked him to see if anyone with the
five Lata-if was buried in that graveyard. He told me
that there was an old man who had the five Lata-if.
(This was the disciple of Maulana Ahmed Khan from
Khanqah Sirajia). I told him to ask the old man
whether he knew me. In reply to the question, the old
man touched my armpit. Zain-ul-Abideen said he had
no idea why the old man was acting this way. I told
him that when I was seven years old, my mother had
brought me to this old man for Dum51. He had recited
something and touched my armpit. Thereafter he had
died and this was our first and last meeting. This
incident also proved Hazrat Jee's saying that a person
in the grave remembers even those whom he has met
just once in his lifetime. Then, I asked Zain-ul-
Abideen if there were any people in that graveyard
who had the Qalb. He said that seven people were
standing in a row. The last person was covering his
face. I told him that it was the Qureshi family of
Ulema. I knew the person standing at the last. He was
known as the Maulvi with Covered Face. He never
uncovered his face except when he was in the
mosque, and I had offered Salat behind him in my
childhood.
After that, I took him to my real father's grave in the
graveyard of Wajhara in Wan Bhachran. He said that
my mother was also buried in the same graveyard.
"How do you know that?" I asked him. He replied that
51 The practice of reciting something and blowing on the patient for
healing an illness.

he had seen my parents together and my father had
told him that she was my mother. I was amazed at the
power of the Kashf of graves that Allah had blessed to
this person. He was telling everything correctly while
sitting hundreds of miles away from those graves.
Then, I brought Zain-ul-Abideen to the grave of
Maulana Hussain AliRUA and asked Maulana Sahib
what type of students and successors he had left
behind. Zain-ul-Abideen told me that Maulana
Hussain Ali had bowed his head upon hearing this
question. Then, I took Zain-ul-Abideen to Hazrat
Maulana Ahmed KhanRUA in Khanqah Sirajia. Zain-ul-
Abideen told me that he was Fana-fir-Rasool52.
Maulana Abdullah's Stations were below him.
Maulana Abdullah asked Zain-ul-Abideen to convey to
our respected Shaykh that he may kindly teach
Salook to his successor Khan Muhammad.
In October 1970, Hazrat JeeRUA came to my house in
Risalpur. Zain-ul-Abideen's car (in which Hazrat Jee
was coming) had met an accident on the way, and
Hazrat Jee had sustained injuries. So he stayed for
16 days instead of 10. He could not perform Wazu
and used to do Tayammum53. The bricks that he used
for Tayammum are still with me, and I have made a
will that these bricks are to be used in my grave.
During Hazrat Jee's stay, one day Mufti Ghulam
Samdani went from Risalpur to Nowshehra with
Basheer. When they came back, Basheer told Hazrat
52 Literally means 'lost in the Prophet'. It's a Destination of Salook.
53 Ablution without water.

JeeRUA that during the journey, Mufti Ghulam Samdani
uttered a cry so loud that everyone started looking at
him. Now he was declining to tell why he had shrieked
like that. Hazrat JeeRUA asked Mufti Ghulam Samdani
to narrate the whole incident. Mufti Ghulam Samdani
said that when they boarded the bus, he saw that the
'round-shaped thing' that is located at the front of the
bus, the thing behind which the driver sits—he saw
that a monkey was clinging to that thing. The monkey
was rotating that thing (the steering wheel) right and
left. When he saw this horrible spiritual appearance of
the driver, an involuntary cry had escaped him.
Professor Muhammad Aslam was also present when
this conversation was taking place. He was a
renowned mathematics teacher from the Corps of
Engineers. His Third Dimension Theory was very
famous, through which he used to prove the existence
of Allah and the Angels. He asked Hazrat Jee
whether it was really true that Neil Armstrong had
reached the moon. Hazrat JeeRUA said: let's ask this
person who calls the steering-wheel a round thing."
Then, Hazrat JeeRUA asked Mufti Ghulam Samdani to
concentrate on Hazrat Jee's Heart, follow the Lights to
wherever they were going, and describe the details of
those places. Mufti Ghulam Samdani narrated Neil
Armstrong's whole voyage and described the place
where they had reached. Professor Muhammad
Aslam was amazed that a person with such a low
education was narrating such details that the
astronaut had himself not described after his return.

After this incident, Professor Muhammad Aslam
became so fond of Hazrat JeeRUA that he took all of us
to his house, and called all his children before Hazrat
JeeRUA. He requested Hazrat Jee to take their Baet.
Hazrat JeeRUA said that he was not a traditional
Peer54, but a spiritual teacher who did not believe in
the apparent Baet. He said that he trained his
students spiritually and presented them in the
Prophet's‫ﷺ‬ Court for the spiritual Baet on the sacred
hand of Huzoor Nabi Kareem ‫.ﷺ‬ Meanwhile the tea
was served along with some snacks. Hazrat JeeRUA
took only one of the many different eatables that were
there. He said that the rest of the things had been
bought readymade from the market, and he did not
eat such things. Professor Muhammad Aslam said
that the thing that Hazrat JeeRUA had accepted had
been prepared by his daughter, who was regular in
her Namaz and fasting. The rest of the eatables had
indeed been fetched from the market.
During the same stay, another incredible thing
became clear. One day, I was standing with Maulvi
Sulaiman. He was doing Wazu. There were eight
servant quarters behind my house, out of which I had
given two to a poor old horse-cart driver. His wife and
daughter used to work in my house. When Maulvi
Sulaiman happened to look at the uninhabited
quarters, he exclaimed, "What the heck! What kind of
54 A word for Shaykh or Murshed generally used by non-Sufis and
common people.

monsters you are keeping?" He said that a Jinn55 was
looking at us from one of the windows. Suddenly, the
Jinn ran and disappeared into the cart-driver's mare,
and the mare lied down. My batman Muhammad Zakir
was standing beside us. He said ever since Hazrat
JeeRUA had come, all the residents of the quarters and
their mare too had fallen sick. Maulvi Sulaiman told us
that the Lights from Hazrat Jee's chest were
illuminating the whole neighborhood. The ground, the
houses, the trees, etc all became extremely bright. It
became difficult for the Jinns to live there, so they
were forced to seek refuge inside living things like
humans and animals. The Jinns living in the servant
quarters had hidden inside the unreligious people and
the mare. As soon as Hazrat JeeRUA departed from
my home, they were healthy again.
When Hazrat JeeRUA went for Hajj for the first time, I
also accompanied him until Karachi. When he
returned from Hajj, all the senior companions were
present to receive him in Karachi. When Hazrat
JeeRUA came out of the airport, he was wearing
colored khaddar clothes. My heart suddenly had this
desire that if Hazrat JeeRUA granted me that dress, it
will be a great gift for me. Hazrat JeeRUA was staying
in the Navy quarters near Tooba Mosque. All the
senior companions expressed their wish for Hazrat
Jee's clothes, but he kept quiet. He exchanged his
handkerchief with someone's and gave away his
rosary too, but did not give the clothes to anyone. I
55 The Jinn are a creation of Allah. They are created out of fire.

dared not to express my wish, as I was just a
beginner. On the journey back home, the companions
from Chakwal hid away Hazrat Jee's luggage, hoping
that he would not be able to change and give the
clothes he was wearing to anyone. When we
disembarked (from the train) at Jehlum, Hafiz Ghulam
Qadri had arranged for a sojourn at a nearby mosque.
Everybody placed their baggage in the mosque and
went out, and only Hazrat JeeRUA and I were left
inside. Hazrat JeeRUA asked me to bring a dhoti. I
picked up someone's dhoti and gave it to Hazrat Jee.
Hazrat JeeRUA donned the dhoti, took off the shalwar-
qameez that he was wearing, and gave it to me. "You
were the first one to wish for these clothes at the
airport, so I give it to you," he said. When the others
returned after some time, they saw that Hazrat JeeRUA
was sitting wearing only the dhoti. They immediately
produced Hazrat Jee's clothes from wherever they
had hidden them. Hazrat Jee's clothes are still
preserved with me and remind me of the gift and the
Kashaf-e-Quloob56 of my esteemed Shaykh.
Salamat Pura, street number 6, house number 4—this
was Maulana Fazal Hussain's address. Maulana
Fazal Hussain possessed the Certificate of
Succession from Hazrat Maulana Fazal Ali
QureshiRUA. Maulana Fazal Ali Qureshi, Maulana
Hussain Ali (Wan Bhachran) and Maulana Ahmed
Khan (the founder Shaykh of Khanqah Sirjia,
Kundian) had got the Certificate together. All three of

them belonged to the Naqshbandia Mujaddadia
Silsila. Maulana Fazal Hussain was an established
Peer of Lahore and his disciples numbered into
thousands. He was very well off, owned a car and
house and had a transport business. Maulana Fazal
Hussain wrote to Hazrat JeeRUA that his Shaykh had
taken him until the Destination of Haqeeqat-e-Salat.
He wanted Hazrat Jee's guidance to progress further
in Salook, as his Shaykh was not alive anymore.
Hazrat JeeRUA wrote back that when he stopped at
Lahore on his way to Karachi, Maulana Fazal Hussain
could come and see him. He reached the railway
station along with all his disciples and took Hazrat Jee
to his house. After talking to Hazrat Jee, he realized
that he had been deceiving the people so far. He did
not even have the Spiritual Baet. So, he made an
open announcement that he had never been an
Accomplished Sufi, and the people who had been
following him had been deceived. He said that from
that day on, Hazrat Maulana Allah Yar Khan was his
Peer and Murshed. Whoever wanted to stay with him
was welcome, and whoever wanted to leave was free
to go. The majority of the disciples left upon hearing
this announcement.
I was deployed in the Wahga sector during the 1971
war. I used to visit Maulana Fazal Hussain regularly
for Zikr every week. As soon as the war was over, I
went to his house along with my fellows. Maulana
Fazal Hussain returned home on his bicycle in the
evening and conducted Zikr after Maghrib. After Isha,
he talked for some time and went to bed without

offering us dinner or anything else. Early in the
morning, he got up and conducted Zikr after the
Nawafil. When he had said the Fajr Prayer, he spoke
to me and said that he was sorry for not looking after
us. He said the reason of his inhospitality was that his
family had been starving for two days and there was
nothing to eat at his home. Then, he narrated the
whole incident of joining the Awaisia Silsila and
ending up in such circumstances. His circumstances
had deteriorated to such a stage that he was forced to
take up a job at a workshop located 13 kilometers
away from Salamat Pura. He used to commute 13
kilometer up and down on a bicycle.
I was taken aback to learn about his condition. I went
straight to my Unit, loaded some groceries into my
vehicle, and returned to Salamat Pura. Maulana Fazal
Hussain was not pleased to see this. He said this was
not the objective of narrating his circumstances to me.
I apologized and requested him to accept that stuff
just that one time. It would not happen again. Later
on, when I stated the ordeals of Maulana Fazal
Hussain to Hazrat JeeRUA, he said that he had never
seen such a devoted person among the Peers. He
had sacrificed everything he had for his Shaykh.
Then, in March 1972, Hazrat JeeRUA stayed at Dr
Riaz's house in Gulberg. Maulana Fazal Hussain
came to see him. When Hazrat JeeRUA inquired about
his circumstances, he started crying. "I don't regret
losing anything," he said, "but I fear that I may not
lose my relationship with you". Hazrat Jee consoled

him and said that the circumstances don’t always stay
the same. Allah burdens everyone according to their
capacity. After some time, Allah SWT changed his
days and he migrated to Abu Dhabi, where he also
called his family. In his last days, when he was sick,
his employer company offered to send him to any
country for treatment. Maulana Fazal Hussain
preferred to come to Pakistan and breathed his last at
his revered Shaykh's feet.
On December 29, 1972, I visited Maulana Shams-ul-
Haq Afghani at his residence in Bahawalpur. It was
past Isha time when we reached there. I was in
uniform and had travelled 150 kilometers from
Cholistan to see him. When he saw me, he said
General Iqbal's residence was next door. I said,
"Hazrat, I've come to see you, not him". He offered
me a seat and inquired about the reason for coming. I
respectfully said that I had come to him for learning
Salook. I had read the books of the Mashaikh from all
the four Silsilas, had read about the Destinations of
Salook, and was wandering in search of a person who
would be my guide on the way of Salook, I said to
him. "I have come to you with great hope that you will
surely guide me." After a brief pause, Maulana
Afghani said that I should recite 2000 times
Astaghfar57, 2000 times Darood Sharif58, and 3000
times Nafi-Asbat59 consecutively for 40 days. If I

happened to miss any of these recitations on any
single day, I had to restart counting the 40 days
again. After 40 days, I had to tell him my feelings
through a letter or personal visit. The next lesson
would start after that. I came back and narrated the
whole episode to Hazrat. Hazrat Jee said, "Maulana
Afghani has gotten rid of you. He has merely told you
the recitations for saving face. He knows it would take
at least five hours to recite the things that he has
prescribed, and a uniformed person can never spare
five hours. You'll do this Wazifa for a day or two, and
then, you'll miss a day. You'll feel ashamed that you
could not perform even this beginners' Wazifa. Out of
embarrassment, you'll not go to see him, and even if
you do, you'll never again dare to mention 'Salook'.
His stature will remain intact and he will not have to
teach Salook. Nobody has the time for doing Wazaif,
so whoever comes to us, we perform Lata-if on him
straightaway. If the seeker has the capability, he will
progress. Otherwise, he'll quit by himself."
One of my friends was a pious person since his
childhood. He read the book "Sword of Allah"
authored by General Akram, after which he became
inclined towards adultery. I was with Hazrat JeeRUA in
Karachi when I bought this book from a bookstall. I
was confused about why the author had chosen this
topic, whereas he belonged to the Shiah School. For
him, Hazrat Ali RAA was the Zulfiqar (the title of
Hazrat Ali RAA, which means sword). Why had he
made Hazrat Khalid RAA the topic of his book and
called him Allah's Sword? When I read the book, I

found out that it was based on malice and animosity.
The characters of Hazrat Khalid RAA and Hazrat
Umar RAA had been attacked and insulted
throughout the book. In other words, we the Sunnis
were shown the 'true picture' of our heroes—the hero
of warfare and the hero of justice.
When I told Hazrat Jee RA about the book, he told me
to go through it in detail and point out the pages that
were objectionable, so that its rejection could be
written. According to his instructions, I was reading
the book while sitting in Qari Yar Muhammad's
mosque in Quetta. Hazrat Jee was present in the
Hujra60. It was about the time of Ishraaq61when a
person entered the mosque. He came to me and
burst out in anger, "What's wrong with you Maulvis?
You sermon others about the Quran and read English
books in mosques yourself. Stop this drama!" I
stopped reading the book, and that person went
ahead and sat down in the company of Hazrat JeeRUA.
When I entered the chamber after a while, he
complained to Hazrat Jee that 'this Maulvi reads
English books in the mosque'. Hazrat Jee introduced
me to him and explained the whole situation, after
which he calmed down.
In 1974, when the annual Ijtima62 was going on at
Munara63, I was doing the Company Commanders
60 A chamber inside or beside a mosque
61 An optional Namaz offered about 30 minutes after sunrise
62 Congregation

Course in Quetta Infantry School. I could not join the
annual congregation because I could not get leave. In
the last days of the congregation, I wrote a letter to
him, regretting my missing the Ijtima and begging for
his prayer and special attention. In his reply, Hazrat
JeeRUA broke the amazing news that I had been
selected among the new Khaleefa Majazeen64 of
Silsila Naqshbandia Awaisia. He wrote that I was now
a Majaz and an Appointment holder. In compliance
with Hazrat Jee's order, when I went to Chikrala to
receive my Certificate, he treated me very kindly. He
told me that my name was not included in the initial
list of Majazeen that was presented to the Prophet of
Mercy‫ﷺ‬. Huzoor Nabi Kareem‫ﷺ‬ deleted some of the
names from that list and wrote down my name. After
this, Hazrat Jee Qibla Alam used to love me dearly.
Multan is famous because of Ghaus Bahawuddin
ZakriyaRUA. Hazrat Ghaus Bahawuddin belongs to the
Suharwardi Silsila and is the student of Shaykh
Shahabuddin Suhrwardy. We used to hold our
Thursday evening Zikr session at his resting place. I
and Haji Aslam Kunboh used to go there often on
other days too. Until the beginning of 1976, Hazrat
Jee's stay at Multan used to be limited to the time for
which the train stopped at the railway station. It had
been a year since I was posted at Multan. Whenever I

visited Hazrat Ghaus Sahib, he used to ask for Hazrat
Jee'sRUA trip to Multan. I quietly presented his request
to Hazrat JeeRUA, which he accepted, and said that
indeed Ghaus sahib's demand was justified. After
that, Hazrat Jee came to Multan and scheduled a Zikr
at Ghaus Bahawuddin Zakriya'sRUA shrine. The
Jamaat of Multan also accompanied him. Ghaus
Bahawuddin ZakriyaRUA was taken to the Higher
Destination. When Hazrat JeeRUA was returning from
there, someone said to him that Hazrat Rukn-e-
AlamRUA was also requesting for a meeting. Hazrat
JeeRUA smiled and said: Let's go. Then he meditated
there for some time.
The Jamaat had swelled in numbers after the return
of the POWs of 1971. Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman
had added two additional things to the routine of Zikr.
He used to conduct loud Zikr and the Meditation of
Istehzar after the Asr prayer. I used to feel upset
because Hazrat JeeRUA had never conducted these
practices. I'd sit in their group but keep feeling
restless inside. Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman had
instructed almost all the people conducting Zikr that
they should hold loud Zikr at Asr. In Multan, I did not
practice this particular Zikr with the Jamaat. When
Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman came to know about it,
he and Bashir took me to a side during the Ijtima at
Munara. They reprimanded me strictly and said that I
considered myself special, and that they could
terminate my Authority for conducting Zikr
(Majaziyyat) in a minute. "If you want to progress
further, you must do the loud Zikr and the Istehzar

Meditation regularly after Asr," they said. I kept quiet.
For two years, Maulvi Muhammad Sulaiman remained
angry with me. I was afraid that he'd ask Hazrat
JeeRUA and get me expelled from the Jamaat. Hazrat
JeeRUA was staying at Haji Altaf's home. When
everyone had left for dinner, I grabbed Hazrat Jee's
feet and started crying. Hazrat Jee asked me about
the matter. I narrated the standoff with Maulvi
Sulaiman and beseeched that he was bent upon
getting me thrown out of the Jamaat. I requested
Hazrat JeeRUA to conduct the loud Zikr and Istehzar
Meditation just once, so that it should be a precedent
for us, and we should adopt these as a part of our
daily routine.
Hazrat JeeRUA asked me if I had never done these
Azkaar65 until then. I replied how I could do the
Azkaar that were never taught by my Shaykh. Hazrat
JeeRUA was very pleased. He said, "how can he expel
you from the Jamaat when he has himself been
kicked out of it?" Then he took out a book from under
his pillow and gave it to me. Hazrat Jee said that
Maulvi Sulaiman had written a book to compete with
Dalail-us-Salook. I was astonished at this person's
senselessness.
In March 1981, when Hazrat JeeRUA came to Multan,
he accepted the dinner invitation from Brigadier
Khadim Hussain and the tea invitation from Major
General Hamza. These two officers held a unique
65 Pl of Zikr

position in the Army because of their gentleness and
piety. When I was transferred to the Northern Area in
1982, Major General Hamza wrote a letter about me
to Major General Warraich, who was the commander
there.
Hazrat Jee visited Gilgit in the third week of May,
1982. He was scheduled to stay at Dasu on the night
of May 17 and have lunch at my home in Jaglot.
However, Hazrat Jee unexpectedly skipped Dasu and
reached my home in the evening of May 17. He
looked quite worn out by the travelling. I immediately
informed Rasool Mir, and the two of us arranged for
the night stay of Hazrat Jee's small entourage. The
next morning, a jeep from the 90 Light came to pick
me up. The General was in the area and was inviting
me for tea. I told my Colonel that I could not go to see
the General, because my esteemed Shaykh was with
me. I could not leave him and go to anyone else. My
Colonel told me not to ruin his career by refusing to
meet the General. He said he'd sit with Hazrat JeeRUA
while I was away. He took off his boots and sat with
Hazrat Jee. However, I wasn't going to leave, and I
didn’t. When the jeep returned empty, the General
didn't like it, as I was later informed by the people who
were present with him. Later on, Hazrat JeeRUA told
me that he had not seen sincerity in my Colonel. I
humbly said he had only come to fill my place and
send me to the General. He had never believed in the
acquisition of Faiz.

The 1983, the annual Ijtima was held at Munara from
July 25 to September 2. This time, I took leave for two
months and reached Darul Irfan in the beginning of
the first week of Ijtima. Hazrat Jee was worried
because of his son and brother. Every other day, a
messenger from his home would arrive, adding to his
worry. One day, Hazrat JeeRUA called for me and
asked me to go to Chikrala to defend his land. He
also told me to take along five or six men, and to send
them back after a week. I reached Chikrala with these
men and set up a post to defend the Murshed Abad
land. Allah SWT helped us and no one dared to
occupy the land. I kept on receiving fresh
replacements from Darul Irfan every week.
When the Munara Ijtima was over, Hazrat JeeRUA
returned to Chikrala and ordered me to stay there. He
allowed me to leave two days before the Eid-ul-Azha.
I presented myself before Hazrat JeeRUA to say
goodbye. Hazrat JeeRUA was sitting outside his house
in the shadow of the wall. Raza Quraish from Sri
Lanka was also with me. Both of us sat on the ground
before Hazrat JeeRUA. "Are you leaving?" asked
Hazrat JeeRUA. I said yes. Many hours passed as we
sat there. The shadow of the wall had receded, and
half of Hazrat Jee's cot was in the sun. We had also
began sweating because of the heat. It was now that
Hazrat JeeRUA permitted me to leave. He got up from
the cot. I embraced him and fell at his feet. I held both
his feet and beseeched, "Hazrat, life is so uncertain. I
don’t know if I'll ever see you again or not. If I have
made some mistakes, please forgive me. Hazrat Jee,

please always be happy with me." Hazrat Jee held me
by the shoulders and stood me up. He said, "you are
among the people in the Jamaat with whom I have an
association of the heart. How can I be angry with
you?" I departed after that, and praise Allah SWT's
Highness, that it indeed turned out to be my last
meeting with him.
I received the news of his demise through a telephone
call from Rawalpindi when I was at Jaglot. Indeed, we
are from Allah, and to Him we shall return66. When I
arrived at Chikrala, Hazrat JeeRUA had already been
laid to rest in his final abode. I presented myself at his
grave along with the Jamaat from Gilgit and
performed Zikr. The same Lights and Flashes that
used to be there before were still there. Hazrat Jee
used to say that his Faiz will become stronger after
his death, provided that the spiritual connection
remains intact. May Allah SWT keep our link with our
respected Shaykh intact and keep his Faiz flowing
until the Day of Qayamat. Aameen.

Conversation with Spirits
‫م‬ َ‫َل‬ْ‫س‬ِ‫َل‬ْ‫ا‬ ِ‫ن‬ْ‫ي‬ِ‫د‬ ٰ‫ِلی‬‫ا‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ٰ‫ھد‬ َ‫و‬ ‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ َ‫م‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ن‬َ‫ا‬ ْ‫ی‬ِ‫ذ‬ِّ‫ل‬َ‫ا‬ ِ ‫ہ‬ ِ‫َّلل‬ ُ‫د‬ْ‫م‬َ‫ح‬ْ‫ل‬َ‫ا‬
(Praise be to Allah who blessed us with rewards and
guided us on Deen-e-Islam.)
I state before you that my Shaykh Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRUA visited Karachi in 1970. I was also with him.
Our stay had been arranged at a quarter owned by
the Navy. That evening, Hazrat JeeRUA was describing
some aspects of Syed Ahmed Rafai'sRUA life. He said
that Allah had blessed Syed Ahmed RafaiRUA with the
power that when he delivered a sermon, he was
equally loud and clear to all those present, regardless
of the distance. Whenever someone came to him and
he did not have anything to serve the guest, he would
ask the visitor: "ask me to pray for you, because I am
on the example of the Holy Prophet‫ﷺ‬ at this time".
When Syed Ahmed RafaiRUA went for Hajj and
presented himself at the Shrine of the Prophet‫ﷺ‬, he
addressed the Messenger‫ﷺ‬ and said: "O Prophet of
Allah‫ﷺ‬, I keep presenting myself before you spiritually.
Today, I have come here physically. Please extend
your blessed hand out of the grave, so that I may kiss

it and satiate the thirst of my love that I have for you."
Upon this, the Prophet's‫ﷺ‬ sacred hand came out of
the grave so that Syed Ahmed RafaiRUA could kiss it.
Hence, Syed Ahmed RafaiRUA kissed the Prophet's‫ﷺ‬
blessed hand and the thousands of people who were
present there witnessed this scene. A few other lucky
ones who were present nearby also got the
opportunity to kiss the Prophet's hand.
"What is the proof of this incident?" inquired a person
who was attending Hazrat Jee'sRUA sermon. We did
not like his question. Hazrat JeeRUA asked him: "are
you legitimate or illegitimate person?" He replied that
he was legitimate. Hazrat JeeRUA asked him if he had
any proof. He said that the wedlock between his
mother and father was the proof. "What is the proof of
the wedlock between your mother and father?" asked
Hazrat JeeRUA. He said that the proof of the wedlock
was the two witnesses that were present on the
occasion. Upon this, Hazrat JeeRUA said: "how
strange, that the wedlock between your mother and
father has just two witnesses, and nobody challenges
its authenticity. But you ask for the proof of an
incident for which there are thousands of witnesses.
You ought to know that the most credible eyewitness
of this incident is Shaykh Abdul Qadir JilaniRUA. Tell
me the truth, who are you? He told that he belonged
to the Jamaat Islami67. Hazrat JeeRUA said that the
people of Jamaat Islami do not believe in Hayat-e-
Anbiya and Conversing with Spirits. What was he
67 A political party in Pakistan

doing there in the first place? Hazrat JeeRUA asked
him to leave.
This was 2004 when my Shaykh Hazrat Allah Yar
KhanRUA said to me: "Son, if you want to communicate
continuously with me in my grave, and your health
permits, you should adopt a Chilla for 40 days in order
to enhance the lightness of your spirit. During this
Chilla, you should stay awake and pray during the
nights and stay thirsty during the days (i.e. fast)".
Following the word of my Shaykh, I went into the
Chilla for 40 days, from April 25 to June 3. This made
a huge difference to my Kashf and Conversation with
Spirits, which became much clearer. Hazrat JeeRUA
said that the Sufis had been practicing this through
every age, although I would not have needed it had
Hazrat JeeRUA been alive. I keep speaking with my
Shaykh in his grave from time to time. I quote a few
instances.
This was probably 2003. One of my fellows Squadron
Leader Salman Ahmed and his wife Doctor Nosheen
called me on telephone from Lahore and requested to
ask Hazrat JeeRUA for his permission for them to visit
him. Hazrat JeeRUA said that they could both come.
After a few days, they came to Mianwali from Lahore.
They stayed at the PAF Base for the night and came
to me in Wan Bhachran the next morning to take me
with them (to Murshed Abad). Right at that time, my
spiritual conversation with Hazrat JeeRUA started.
Hazrat JeeRUA asked me to stop Dr Nosheen (Mrs
Salman Ahmed) from coming and leave her at my

home. I became worried and started thinking whether
my previous Conversation was correct, in which
Hazrat JeeRUA had granted the permission, or this
one, in which he was declining her. Why had he
allowed first and then forbidden? Dr Nosheen stayed
back. When both of us reached Danda Shah via
Moosa Khail, we found out that it had been raining the
whole night and the whole area had become
submerged in rainwater. The earthen track leading to
Murshed Abad had become un-drivable, and after
going two or three kilometers, we had to leave our car
there and walk through rainwater and mud all the
way. It was then that I realized why Hazrat JeeRUA had
stopped Dr Nosheen from coming. A few months after
that, the two of them came to Murshed Abad again.
This time, they requested for Hazrat Jee'sRUA
permission to adopt a child. Hazrat JeeRUA asked me
to tell them that they were going to have their own
child, why adopt? Actually, the two of them had been
married for six or seven years at the time, and they
did not have a child. They did not adopt a child after
Hazrat Jee forbade it. Later, they became the parents
of two daughters who are studying in a school these
days.
Another companion of mine Amir Jalal is a pilot in an
airline. His younger brother Kashif is a Lecturer in one
of the universities at Jeddah. Kashif had been
speaking to an expat Pakistani family living in
America and had reached an understanding for a
marriage of exchange for himself and his sister. (His
sister would marry their son and he would wed their

daughter). Later on, that family came to Pakistan and
met the boy and the girl, whom they liked and
finalized the arrangement. When I spoke to Hazrat
JeeRUA about this marital arrangement, he asked me
to stop Kashif from going ahead. He said that the boy
to whom his sister was going to be wed did not have a
good character. When I told them this, they cancelled
the arrangement. The information about the boy's
character was later on confirmed.
Doctor Abid Ali Minhas received his Doctorate degree
from Austria on government scholarship. He visited
me in 2002. As we sat beside my Shaykh Hazrat
Allah Yar KhanRA's grave in Murshed Abad for Zikr, he
expressed his intention to go for PhD in a foreign
university at his own expense. Hazrat JeeRUA told him
to wait for that year, as he was going to be sent
abroad on government expense the next year. And it
really happened that PhD vacancies for foreign study
were advertised the next year. Abid Ali Minhas
appeared in the test and interview and the
Government of Pakistan selected him for doing PhD
in Austria. While studying in Austria, he became
disinterested and lost heart because of the biased
behavior of his instructors. The reason was his large
Sharai68 beard. I went to Murshed Abad and
presented the issue of his Doctorate before Hazrat
JeeRUA, and also complained about his instructors'
behavior. Hazrat JeeRUA told me to keep those tutors
68 Conforming to the Shariah, the Islamic code

before me and do Alqa69 upon them for a few days.
Insha-Allah, they will come on track. And so it
happened. After the Alqa, the tutors' behavior with
Abid Ali Minhas improved, and he returned to
Pakistan after completing his Doctorate and securing
the highest grade from the same instructors. He is a
professor at a university in Saudi Arabia these days.
Another one of my companions Muhammad Suleman
lives in Chashma. His daughter was doing her house
job at a hospital in Lahore when she fell sick. Her
condition did not improve even after her extensive
treatment. When I went to Chashma to conduct Zikr,
he took me to his home and requested me to write
something that would heal his daughter. I started
inscribing the Taweez70. I was going to write 40 of
them. When I had written 14 or 15, I started hearing
Hazrat Jee's voice coming from his grave. He said it
was no use. She would not survive until she could
take all 40 of them. So, I stopped writing. Suleman
sahib said that I was going to write 40 of them. I said
he should give her the Taweez that I had written; I'd
write more when they finish. Allah had planned it this
way. The girl could not survive for 40 days and met
Allah before that. Inna Lillahe wa Inna Alaihe
Rajeoon. (Indeed we are from Him and to Him we
shall return.)
69 It's a term of Sufis. It means casting down the Lights from one's
Destination upon the seeker or anyone else.
70 Inscriptions meant for healing an illness, repel the Jinn, or for
other purposes

Several months had passed since we had visited our
respected Shaykh in Murshed Abad. The armies of
India and Pakistan were facing each other on the
borders. Then, by Allah's grace, the risk of war
subsided and the armies of both the countries
retreated. The Air Force also flew the aircraft back to
their home bases. My friends from Mianwali Base
informed me at 10 p.m. that there was no flying
scheduled for the next day, so they had planned to
pick me up and go to Murshed Abad. They had
planned to take three cars, which meant that about
14-15 pilots were going to accompany me. I had still
not left the prayer rug after my morning routine that
conversation with Hazrat JeeRUA started. He asked
me not to let the Air Force pilots come to him on that
day. I got up and informed all the pilots that the
program had been cancelled for the day. It was hardly
8 or 8:30 a.m. when the pilots received the orders to
fly to their forward operating bases. They immediately
flew their aircraft to their respective wartime positions.
Had Hazrat JeeRUA not stopped me, a big issue would
have been created. The pilots could not have returned
to the base before 11 a.m. It would have been a
fiasco with so many pilots suddenly disappearing, and
the aircraft could not have been deployed as well.
On August 14, 2003, I visited Murshed Abad with
Wing Commander (Air Commodore) Zia Khan. Five or
six other officers also accompanied us. Zia Khan had
come to Murshed Abad with me on August 14 two
years ago. Hazrat JeeRUA asked me to tell Zia Khan
that he had made Hazrat Jee wait for too long. He

then said: "You don’t know what waiting is. When
you'll die and come to the Barzakh, and you'll wait for
your loved ones and they won't come, only then you'll
realize what waiting is". Upon hearing this, Zia Khan's
eyes filled with tears. He said he didn’t know Hazrat
JeeRUA had so much love for him. Hazrat JeeRUA was
also aggrieved by the fact that Maulana Akram Awan
had stopped his followers from visiting Murshed Abad.
It was in January 2003 that I visited Air Vice Marshal
Abdul Razzaq's official residence in Islamabad
regarding some matter. Wing Commander (Air
Commodore) Fazal Mehmood was also with me. It
was a palatial house. We were waiting for AVM Abdul
Razzaq when my conversation with Hazrat JeeRUA
started. He said that AVM Abdul Razzaq was going to
live in that house only for a few more days. I thought
that maybe he would be transferred elsewhere.
During our meeting, he also expressed his intention to
study Tasawwuf more deeply, but God had other
plans. Probably, the Angel of Death had already
received the orders to take him away from this world
forever. Air Vice Marshal Abdul Razzaq departed for
Barzakh leaving behind his grieving parents and
bringing tears to thousands of eyes.
Once upon a time, Colonel Naseem came to me with
his sons Captain Ashfaq and Taha. Captain Ashfaq
moved closer to me when I was parting with them
after presenting ourselves at Murshed Abad. He told
me that he had made a request to Hazrat Jee and
asked me to tell him what Hazrat Jee was saying

about his request. I told him that I didn’t know what he
had said to Hazrat JeeRUA, but there was something
that Hazrat JeeRUA had asked me to convey to his
father (Colonel Naseem). He started insisting that I
should tell that thing to his father right there in his
presence. I called Col Naseem and told him that
Hazrat Jee had asked me to tell him that he should
immediately arrange for Captain Ashfaq's marriage.
When Captain Ashfaq heard this, he said, "Uncle, I
got the answer to my request. I had requested Hazrat
Jee about my marriage."
I had planned to spend the night of May 2, 2013 at
Murshed Abad with Group Captain Rizwan Haider
and his family. The General Elections were going to
be held on May 11. Imran Khan's Tsunami appeared
widely popular. It seemed that Imran Khan will sweep
the elections and become the next Prime Minister. In
the evening, when we sat by Hazrat Shaykh-ul-
Mukarram's grave for Zikr, Rizwan asked me who was
going to be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. I said,
"Let's ask Hazrat Shaykh-ul-Mukarram71 about who
will become the Prime Minister after the elections".
When I asked Hazrat JeeRUA, he said that Nawaz
Shareef was going to be the next Prime Minister. We
also asked whom we should vote for. Hazrat Shaykh-
ul-Mukarram told us not to vote for Imran Khan, as he
is not a religious person.

When someone asked Hazrat Imam Maalik the
meanings of The Most Merciful [who is] upon the
Throne established, he started sweating profusely. He
bowed his head and started tapping the wooden stick
that he was holding. Then, he raised his head and
said that it is something beyond the comprehension of
the mind; and that Allah's Astawa (establishment) is
not unknown and it is mandatory to believe in it; and
that to inquire about it is a Bidat73. He said that he
thought that the inquirer was a Bidati74 and got him
expelled from there. He received knowledge from 900
tutors, out of whom 300 were Tabaeen. He used to
say that knowledge is not acquired through excessive
studying. It is a Light that Allah SWT shines into one's
Heart.
It is in the Hadees75 that before the heaven and the
earth were created, Allah SWT was in an Ama'
(Cloud) that had air above and below it, and his
Establishment on the Throne had not yet taken place.
