Today, we're recording from the road.
I am
on my way back from,
Moline, Illinois, which is on the border of
Iowa
on the banks of the Mississippi River,
one of the greatest of Allah ta'ala's,
blessings on this land.
Allah
make
its
flow and
and give the of its people to make
Tawba from Kufr
and to embrace the path of righteousness and
give them Hidayah.
Amin.
Just like our elders, may Allah have mercy
on them and sanctify their secret,
used to spend their days
in
in the path of Allah
It's an honor that they did great and
Allah gave them a great. Allah gave us
the of doing whatever little thing that we
can do so that we get something from
him as well.
Hazrat
Moana Hussein Ahmed Madani
who was one of the of
Moana Rashid Ahmed Ganguhi who was mentioned
in yesterday's.
He said I spent half of my time
either in jail or on the rail,
meaning either traveling or in jail
in the days when
injustice
and,
are prevalent,
then
jail is a place for respectable people to
be. May Allah
protect us
from the and
the
shuroor
of the people of evil.
And may Allah
free those of our brothers and sisters who
are unjustly
incarcerated in this land or in another land.
And whoever Allah takes sacrifice from, may he
give them sabr and patience to endure it
and accept it from them.
Today, we read about
from the
Hazrashay Mohan Zakaria,
regarding
Hazrashay,
Mia Jinur Mohammed Janjani,
Mia jinur Mohammed Janjani. Mia is a an
address term or an address title
for the Muslims of North India.
The word mia, amongst many people is synonymous
with, somebody being Muslim. It's an indicator of
them being a Muslim, and it's a way
Hindus address the Muslims.
It was
his,
and his humility,
because of which people called him,
Mianji,
which is essentially a lowest common denominator
in terms of rank with people.
Nobody thought he was anyone special or
a person of or or
or spirituality or any of these things.
Rather,
as we'll as we'll read, he was essentially
a Quran teacher, taught
to the children.
And so no big deal. And it's
because of a blemish in our
that we think that the people who teach
in the book of Allah to children that
it's no big deal.
But as we'll read, it's a very big
deal,
especially for those who Allah to Allah loves.
So Mianji was born in the year 1201,
Hijra.
His hometown was Janjana.
His father's name was Sayed Jamal Muhammad Alawi.
And this is something actually even the the
that I studied in, Sayed,
Mahmoud Mia. His father was
the,
the builder of,
the establisher of the Jamia Madaniya. His name
is Sayed Hamid Mia,
and his father, Sayed Muhammad Mia, was a
very close associate of Mawlana Hussein Ahmad Madani,
the aforementioned.
The reason they appended the word miah to
their name rather than Sayed
was out
of their out of their their humility that
rather than than extolling in front of other
people that they're from the to the prophet
They prefer to be known as just one
of the regular,
people of the Muslims.
And being one of the rank and file
of the Muslims is not something ever to
be belittled.
In fact,
when Abu Sufyan
came to Madinah Munawwara before the Fath to
try to effect some sort of reconciliation
in the
the ceasefire and truce that the Quraysh had
broken themselves.
He went first to Sahihullah Rumi, then to
Bilal,
or perhaps the other way around. And neither
of them would, would would would give him
any sort of respect,
or listen to his pleas.
And Sayna Abu Bakr
when he found out, he chastised them and
said this is an elder of Quraish. You
should treat him with respect. And Rasulullah
in fact,
sided with with the with the 2,
Bilal and Suhayr
as a sign of the honor of of
of every single one of the Muslims.
So,
Mianji,
he
took the name of he took the title
of Mianji rather than,
that of the Sadaat, the Ahlulbayt of the
prophet
And it's a sign of his truly being
a a a representative of the Ahlulbayt of
Rasulullah alaihi sallam
that he wanted nothing more than to be
just a regular rank and file person of
this ummah like the prophet
who said
that my my risk,
my provision was put in the shade of
my spear.
And the spear is the weapon of the
infantry foot soldier. It's not the weapon of
an elite soldier
or of a knight or of a a
nobleman or of a king.
The the the nobleman kings had swords.
Rather,
this is from his humility
that he want to express how he was
one of the Muslims and a regular, a
regular person even though he wasn't nothing was
regular about him.
But, this is part of the spiritual reality
of
the one who humbles himself for the sake
of Allah
raises them.
His father's name was said Jamal Muhammad Alawi.
He's with the children of Hazrat Shah Abdul
Razak Janjani
He is by birth and
in the 9th ancestral link, Hazrat
lineage,
links up with the Sheikh Abdul Razaq.
He acquired the nisbah or the connection of
tariqa
from Hazrashah Abdul Rahim.
He took the utmost care to conceal his
spiritual state from others.
He had occupied himself with teaching the Quran
to small, children in the town of Lohari,
which is near Tanah Bavan in, in the
the area between the Ganga and the Jamuna.
They call the Doaba
between those two rivers,
of the Ganga and Jamuna, which are sacred,
again, sacred to the Hindus.
And,
strangely enough, even though it's their sacred land,
so many
came from that place. So many
came from that place.
His obedience to the sunnah was of a
very lofty degree. For 30 years, he never
missed the opening takbir of any congregational prayer.
His extreme concealment did not permit anyone to
know of his excellences.
This is, this is what what the is,
that a person should
be concerned with what Allah and His Rasool
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam are concerned with.
If a person's Tasawwuf has to do with
flying in the air and turning rock into
gold,
That's not as impressive as what as 30
years not missing the opening takbir of any
prayer in congregation.
His extreme concealment did not permit him to
let anyone know of his excellences.
It was a dream that Hazragi, Hajim Dadullah,
Al Mujazzar Al Makki,
whose
biography we shared a couple of nights ago,
and who was the, disciple of Mianjin Nur
Muhammad. It was a dream that * Saab
had, which revealed to everybody Hazrat Mianjin's elevated
status.
Hazrat * and Dadla's,
in a quest for his sheikh, was extremely
restless.
This will be explained later in detail. And
just as a as a recap,
Hajim
he was looking for a sheikh and he
was in a perturbed state and he saw
that was the first time he saw Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in a dream. He
saw who indicated to him that this,
Miangi, this is the one that you wanna
go to. He's the one that you're going
to receive the,
you're going to receive the, inundation of,
divine favor from. So go look for him.
He showed him his picture. And he looked
for him and he looked for him. And
when he finally found him,
Mianji himself said, you know, to him that
what took you so long or something to
that effect.
Hazards Hajis Ab's father, Hajim Dadullah's father sorry,
grandfather, Mulla Bulaqi arrived.
Taking Hajisab's
hand, he propelled him to, he propelled him
to Rasulullah.
Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi sallam in a dream took
the hand of Hajisab and placed it in
the hand of the sheikhul Masai, Hazrat Mianji,
Nur Muhammad.
Since he had no awareness of who Hazrat
Mianji was, he was completely baffled after the
dream.
Who is this elder and where can he
be found? These were perplexing issues for Hazrat
* Saab. Several years passed in this condition
of bewilderment and extreme agitation.
When Hazrat * Imdadullah's Ustad Mullana Kalander reserved,
observed this restlessness, he advised Hadjisab to go
to Lohari and meet with Hazrat Mianji. Perhaps
your restlessness will decrease, he said. On receiving
this guidance from his Ustad, Hazrat * Saab
did not delay a moment.
He set off on foot immediately for Lohari.
Restlessness and enthusiasm impelled him to go on
with such force that his feet became blistered
blistered.
Finally, when he reached Louhadi and he went
to meet Hazrat Mianji, as his gaze fell
on the auspicious face of his future,
Sheikh. The image he saw years ago in
his dream stood before him. He had reached
the end of his long quest, and his
dashed hope suddenly came into full bloom.
* immediately
fell at the feet of Hazrat Mianji, who
simultaneously,
lifted * Saab's head. Embracing him, he said,
have you complete confidence in your dream? This
is indeed the first karama or miracle of
Hazrat Mianji,
further solidified,
the conviction of
Hajim. This very first
miracle of
further solidified the conviction of Hazrat, Hajim.
Hazrat Mianji's own Sheikh Abdul Rahim, who took
of Jihad in the path of Allah to
Allah at the hands of Sayed Ahmed Shaheed.
He had sent a message to bring Hazrat
Mianji to make with Hazrat Sayed Ahmed. When
the messenger arrived in Tanjana, Hazus was holding
the reins of his horse in his hand
and giving it water. When the, a message
was delivered, a
state of a spiritual state overcome,
Hazrat Meinji, the horse too was affected by
the spiritual state so much that it began
rolling.
In response to the message, Hazrat Meyenji went
to Saharanpur and linked up with Hazrat Sayed
Ahmed Shaheed's caravan.
When he reached Balakot in Punjab, Hazrat said
Ahmed Shaheed and Shah Abdur Rahim instructed him
to return to Lahari.
In compliance with their instruction, he returned to
Lahari and settled down permanently.
So this has to do with,
this has to do with
Saeed Ahmed Shaheed, which again, for those of
you who don't know who he is, there's
another lecture in the SoundCloud,
that gives him great detail of the history
of this very important person.
Essentially, he led a movement for the revival
of the Sunnah in the Indian subcontinent. And
that movement at some point reaches such a
critical mass that the great bulk of the
ulama,
will associate with it as will the great
bulk of the of the of of Sufism.
And they will become so,
connected to him that great
that have themselves thousands of,
they will dissolve their,
bond of discipleship with their disciples and order
them to. Now,
take the discipleship of Sayed Ahmed,
because of his earnest efforts to,
protect the the Muslims from their, from from
colonial threats and from,
encroachment of, other local powers like the Sikhs
and others, and because of his preeminent concern
with justice and the establishment of the in
the land.
And so what happens is Shabdur Rahim who
is the sheikh of Mianjinur Mohammed
Janjani as well,
he will go. He'll take Bey'a with Sayid
Ahmad Shaheed. He will join his caravan
and he will instruct his own the same
thing that come take with this Sheikh. Your
with me is, is now released.
And, Mianji will will will feel the the
the the the the spiritual benefit of and
the spiritual overwhelming state that came with this
order, And he'll take take,
immediate
provisions to go and put his hands in
the hands of Sayyid Ahmad Shaheed
and both the Sheikh Abdul Rahim
and Sayed Ahmed will
instruct me, Angie, to what? Go back to
Lahari.
Even though
he fought and his army fought in the
battle of Balakot against the,
the army of the Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Balakot is a place in Kashmir,
and they will be defeated.
And their entire focus was on,
on on preserving the the the lands of
the Muslims from the sick army, which will
eventually
sack Lahore. It will desecrate the massages of
a great number of cities in Punjab, and
they will even take over, cities in Afghanistan
and sack and desecrate the massages, kill the
ulama, and do things like that.
But, the wazir Khan masjid in Lahore, which
is one of the most beautiful massages in
Lahore, is actually used by the Maharaja Ranjit
Singh as what? As a stable for horses.
And this is a a a type of,
a type of propaganda that the Sikhs run.
Obviously, we have no problem with our Sikh
neighbors. That's their religion. They have it and
gave them, through his
the ability to keep their religion. And even,
under Muslim rule, the Qadis, the judges,
respected it as a form of Hinduism essentially
and allowed them to keep that that that
that religion. And they have a real gripe
against the Mughal empire
because they say the Mughals killed, 2 of
our gurus.
And the fact of the matter is the
Mughals didn't kill their gurus because or execute
their gurus because of,
not allowing them to keep their religion. They
executed them because of
rebellion against the state or or,
noncompliance with the sovereignty of the state. And
that's a political issue. It's not a religious
issue. And so Sikhs claim,
universal respect for all religions, but,
there are certain,
preeminent figures in their history,
including including the Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who
actually
desecrated Masjid at very various points in their
history.
And, that was a a real fear, and
Sayed Ahmed Shaheed was preoccupied with protecting the
Muslims from this desecration and
from this, calamity and disaster that was about
to fall their land befall their lands. But
coming back to me and Jean Nur Mohammed
Janjani
they sent him back to Lahari,
and these are indications Allah gives to the,
hearts of those people who are clean inside,
to know where a person is going to
be used. If you're trying to, have an
army and fight a war with people, you
wanna get as many people, able-bodied
soldiers as possible.
But the direction,
you know,
the direction
of the pious, we believe it comes from
Allah
That the person
who
has
fear
of
Allah
Allah will will will guide his heart
and will will show them what the best
direction is. So they actually told me and
g to go back to Lahari, which is,
hundreds of miles away,
closer to in the district of Saharanpur, which
is closer to Delhi and further from the
frontier,
between between Lahore and Peshawar where the, caravan
of Sayed Ahmed Shaheed was encamped.
So he gives him the order, go back
to Lahari and settle there permanently.
He accepts his and the
links up at that point.
And and,
then he sends him back that your job
is in. Lohari, don't you're not going to
stay with us. You're not gonna join us.
Hajjim Dadullah narrates that once
after the Friday prayer was giving people some
advice, some sincere advice, meaning he was giving
to them. People thinking that he was about
to leave this world for the hereafter were
much grieved, and they even displayed their sadness.
Conveying their feeling, they said to Hazrat,
we thought that in our homes, we had
a treasure to benefit from whenever we desired.
Mianji responded,
in the homes you have with you, many
of my friends consider them as my representatives.
Hazard Mianji had appointed Hafiz Muhammad Zaman as
as his Khalifa
in a public gathering, and by implication, other
2 were appointed. Hafiz Zaman Shahid is one
of the companions of of Hajji
And, in the in the,
insurrection that they had against the British in
1857,
he was shaheed in the path of Allah.
So these people put their money where their
mouth is. This is one of the things
that irritates me to no end, that there
are some certain whack job groups that will
go out and call the ulama sellouts, and
they'll call the Sufis sellouts. And they'll say,
we're the ones who are trying to establish
the caliphate
like these,
Mal'un and cursed people of ISIS,
who kill
who kill,
Muslims and spill their blood and make war
on those people who Allah and his
gave peace and protection and safety in his
holy Sharia.
And there are other groups that may not,
use the same means as ISIS, but they
have the same claims that we're the one
working for
establishing the caliphate or the homeland of the
Muslims,
where whereas the ulama and the Sufis are
all sellouts.
And Hafizam and Shahid,
he is a Khalifa of Mi'anji, and he
gave his life for the sake of Allah
Ta'ala. And the Amtal, those like him are
in their thousands,
of Ullama who gave and gave and gave
and and and,
spared no
sacrifice in this world for the sake of
the word of Allah to be made supreme.
In fact, one of the the of
the which were mentioned earlier,
Moana
Moana Mazhar Nana Nnotawi also fought in against
the British in this occasion.
And
he, this is one of the one of
the most
one of the most,
moving and memorable things that I remember from,
from Darce that,
when talking about the of the, those who
give their life in the path of Allah
to Allah,
our Ustaji mentioned that
who fought in 1857.
He was wounded so badly that he lost
consciousness,
and he was paralyzed
amongst
a pile of bodies essentially.
And he saw he witnessed that the hurrayn
of Jannah came down, and they were
they were giving drink to
the shurhadah. They had pitchers of water with
them, and they were lowering them in the
mouth of the shuradan, pouring water into them.
And they came to him as well, in
their beauty, and in their their radiance.
And they put the pitcher to his mouth,
and then one says to the other that,
he's not dead yet. This is not his
time.
And so they pull the pitcher back and
they went away.
And so he said that a drop of
the water touched his lips. He had a
strange habit during his entire life when he
would teach hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
He would,
flick his tongue on his lower lip.
And,
when people would ask him, why do you
do that?
Is it a nervous tick or whatever? He
said that, I still can taste the sweetness
from that one drop of water that that
touched my lower lip.
And these are people well, they were beautiful
people, and they were worthy of this this
karama from Allah that he should show it
to them.
And they were the most honest and upright
of people, and they were the ones who
did the most of the deen. And when
they say things like that, I believe them.
Hadid Miya ji had appointed Hafiz Mohammed Zaman
as his,
Khalifa, Baman,
at a public gathering. And by implication, others
too were appointed. After a short while, Hazard
Mianji became ill. He instructed his associates to
take him to his hometown, Janjana.
Hajim Dadullah continues to narrate the story. When
the cart in which he was journeying had
reached,
it was made to halt near the masjid.
I too was present.
Hazrat said you are single while Hafiz Zaman
Sahib and Sheikh Mohammed Sahib have families.
It was my intention to impose
strict and difficult
and struggles on you,
but there's no escape from the will of
Allah most high.
The call for the journey to the has
arrived for me. When Hazrat was speaking, I
was leaning against the card and crying.
Consoling me, Hazrat said the fakir doesn't die.
He simply transformed from one abode to another.
The same benefit which was during this physical
life will be acquired from beyond the grave.
Finally, Hazif Mianji died at the age of
58 on Friday 4th of Ramadan Mubarak in
the year of 20 5th 1259
Hijra.
In terms of his and his final bequest,
he was buried in the field of field
of Imam Nasruddin,
Muhammad Mahmud Shahid Sabzwadi.
Once a person of cash, or of preternatural
intuition who came to Ajahnjana visited the grave
of Mianji.
Afterward, he commented,
alas, some volume or cruel person,
unjust person has
buried him near Imam Sayed Mahmud on account
of respect he is withholding his.
If he had been buried in a desolate
place, the world would have glittered with his.
If there was not danger of fitna or
strife, I would have exhumed him and buried
him elsewhere so all could witness his unwed
and blessings.
Some people had intended to raise the height
of his grave. However,
in a dream, he forbade them, from doing
so
because he said that to do so is
in conflict with the sunnah of the prophet
This is something,
similar. It reminds me of, what happened with
Imam Nawi who
died at a very young age.
He was
a a a flag holder of the sunnah
of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and he lived
and died by the sunnah.
He had when he was dying, warned his
followers,
do not build over my grave because to
do so is not permissible and it was
not something that
allowed.
And,
what happens right after he dies, they built
a bazaar over his grave.
And
what happened after that was
a miracle of Imam Nawi
which is that a tree started to grow
from inside the grave. And it was a
small plant at first. Nobody thought much of
it. It grew so fast, and its branches
spread out, and it broke the walls of
the, of the,
of the Mazar.
And it broke through the ceiling of the
Mazar as well. And 1 night, lightning struck
it and set it on fire, and it
literally burned the entire mazar of, Imam Noemi
down so that nothing but the, exposed
foundations were left.
And
the the burned and charred
remnant of that tree. And it was like
that for centuries until just a year or
2 ago,
these,
imbeciles from ISIS,
Allah
cleansed our land from their
evil effect.
They actually
blew that tree up.
And I thought you people are such morons.
You're, supposedly trying to show everybody how much
you love Tawhid and love the sunnah. This
was a living miracle and a proof that
the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, was something that was held by his
oliya,
And this is by the duas of Imam
Nawawi that this tree broke his mazar.
And and and it was a sign, an
for the, centuries, for the generations
that this is a sunnah of the prophet
and now you idiots blew it up. And
as time goes by, people will say, oh,
the story is just a made up story
of,
a made up story of, you know, the
hagiographers
and that the Sufis always embellish and make
up stories about their masha'ik, and we can't
believe them
and whatnot.
Even though there are people to this day
who are alive, who have seen that, tree
and seen that mazar,
And, once they pass from this world, no
no one will believe it anymore because,
as the world goes on, people tend to
go from truth toward lying As this dunya
progresses, nobody believes one another. Even the hadith
of the prophet
everyone thinks that the narrators are liars. And
the fact is that just because you and
I are liars doesn't mean that those people
are liars. Those people were people who told
the truth and they lived and they died
by the truth.
Some anecdotes of.
Mohammed left Lahari and came to Janjana because
the Patans of Lahari had displeased him on
some issue.
After Hazrat had left Lahari, a series of
fires, one after the other, raged to the
different neighborhoods of the town.
The Patans understood that the cause of this
calamity was the pleasure of Hazrat Meyenji.
They came to Janjana after considerable pleadings, and
they brought Hazrat back to Lahari. After Hazrat's
return, there was never again a fire.
After some time, the Patans had inquired from
Hazrat the reason for the fires after he
left. Hazrat said the only thing I know
is
occasionally on account of love for Lohari, I
would think of its neighborhoods.
It's a beautiful story not only because it
tells the of
of of of
disrespecting the holy of Allah, it also shows
the beauty of of of Mianji. That the
pretans thought that this is a punishment,
for their disrespect to him, but he never
meant any harm to any of them.
He never meant any harm to any of
them. Rather,
the fire he interpreted
it as
a a physical manifestation of his
love for the city,
and a physical manis manifestation of his rather
than,
any sort of,
hatred toward any Muslim.
May Allah
give us a clean heart,
even though such a thing is so rare,
in this day and age.
Once when there was a severe drought, several
people came to Hazrat, Miyanji, and requested him
for dua.
At the time, Hazrat was sucking, sugarcane.
Amongst these people, there was one with whom
Hazrat had a very informal and cordial relationship.
Hazrat said to him, if you suck the
stocks which I had sucked and saw that
the rain will come. The person at first
hesitated, but when pressed by the others, he
started to chew and suck on the stocks
As he did, the rain clouds gathered, and
it began, raining in torrents.
Someone might say, well, that's gross. Well,
if Allah loves a person, then even their
chewed,
sugarcane stock becomes a matter of value.
Maybe Allah didn't show you someone worthy of
your love, and that's why you don't, you
know, you don't approve. Maybe if he showed
you, you would,
you would love to, you know, you would
love to suck from the stock of his
eating sugarcane as well.
So hadith of the prophet
before everyone gets like, oh, gross. Look sufi,
weirdo. Right?
It's Hadith of Rasool
You can ask people like Moana Bilal and
Moana Abdul Rahman Hadi at the Alqasm about
the of the hadith.
But it is narrated commonly as a hadith.
Drinking from the the leftovers
of the drinking vessel of a believer is
a shefa and a cure.
And so this is completely substantiated from the
sunnah
of,
for those who are concerned about the sunnah
in the first place.
And for those who aren't, then they'll think
everything beautiful is gross.
Once a farm caught fire, the farm ran
in consternation to Hazrat Mianjeet
and and related what had happened. Hazard had
removed the the the topi, the hat from
his head and gave it to the farmer
saying, make haste and throw it into the
fire.
The farmer ran back to his farm and
threw the hat into the raging fire, which
immediately died out.
Whenever Hazrat Mianji would go to the marketplace,
all the traders would stand and respect.
Once a non Muslim objected to this, he
convinced the traders to discard this practice, and
they agreed.
Sometime thereafter when Hazrat Mianji came to the
marketplace,
the non Muslim too was present.
Surprisingly, the non Muslim was the first to
stand in respect. All the other trade traders
did likewise as usual. After Hazrat left, the
traders questioned the non Muslim objector.
He said I was helpless. I had no
option other than to stand. When Hazrath came,
it seemed as if an invisible force had
caught hold of my ears and pulled me
up to stand.
Allah
is the one who protects the honor of
of those who believe.
Once an island from Canal came to Hazrat
Mianji.
He said, we hear the stories of people
having seen the dismemberment of the bodies of
the oliya.
They see heads, hands, feet, etcetera, all separated
from their bodies.
Hazrat replied, my maternal uncle narrated that once
he went to visit Hazrat Miya Sab in
midday. At the door of his room was,
the door of his room, Afan, was closed,
although not bolted. He said when I opened
the door, I was shocked to see the
entire body of Hazrat Miasaab dismembered.
As he saw me, the various limbs reunited.
Hazrat Miasab sat up and told me not
to divulge what I had seen.
This is something that has been experienced with
a number of the.
This was also experienced by the Hadim of
Muhammad Muhammad
Madani once. And he was,
he was, sworn by, Moana Hussein Ahmad Madani
not to tell anybody as long as he's
alive,
what he had seen.
And, I was very amazed when I heard
this myself from one of my.
So I asked him, what is this? What's
the point of it? What does it mean?
And he said that this is the effect
of,
the
the on certain people
that in their utmost humility,
in their
their complete annihilation in
Allah It literally,
they see the physical manifestation of themselves being
broken in front of Allah.
And, obviously, it's something that is not,
it's not something for the public to see.
Rather, like the author of the Keshel Majub
said, every miracle
that it was enjoyed by the MBIA alaihi
Muslim in public
is permissible for the oliya to enjoy in
private, and Allah knows best.
Once a very prominent,
Hindu mendicant or Sadu was Hazrat Mianji's guest.
So you see, they used to interact with
the local people,
and they used to show their karam and
their generosity to Muslim and non Muslim alike,
Muwahhid and Mushrik alike. Said once a prominent
sadhu was Hazrat Meenji's guest.
And more more to the point, the Hindus
also used to respect the Muslims and their
holy men,
which is very contrary to the kind of
nonsense revisionist history that that unfortunately has become
en vogue in, in India nowadays,
which portrays Muslims and Hindus somehow at loggerheads
with one another for all of history.
Obviously,
there was fights and difficulties, but in general,
people got along and they still get along.
Once a very prominent sadhu was Hazrat Mianji's
guest.
As he departed, he said, Mianji, in my
bag is an elixir.
Take it with you. It seems as if
you're lacking funds.
The elixir and alchemy is a substance which
transforms base metals into gold.
Hazrat Mianji, refusing acceptance, said that he had
no use for it. The again insisted.
Hazrat again refused. When he insisted a third
time, Hazrat picked up a stone and flung
it against the wall in front of him
and said to
the. When the looked at it, he stared
in astonishment at the wall, the whole wall
of which turned into gold.
Commented,
truly,
you don't need it.
Whoever has a lot to all of these
things just become a bag of tricks. You
don't need any of these things. Tell me
how many gold, coins did Rasulullah
need in order to change the entire world.
And you'll see
how many dollars and how many pounds and
how many euros and how much land and
how much power and how much presidency and
electoral college votes and democrat and republicans you
need to get into Jannah and what's, of
value that day. You'll see all of those
things. The Sadhu
commented. He said,
true. You don't need it.
Hazus Sheikh Islam Muhammad
said that the same kefir,
which,
constrained Mansur Al Hallaj to,
proclaim that I am the truth,
prevailed for 6 months on Hazrat Mianji, but
nobody knew about
this. This,
the fact that he could restrain himself admirably
and continue to do his teachings was a
testament to his spiritual condition.
Mansur,
Hussein bin Mansur Al Hallaj,
was an interesting,
figure in the history of
Islam and then in the interesting of Sufism
in the sorry, history of Sufism.
And he was known to impose upon himself
backbreaking mujahhadat
and struggles that the masha' used to warn
him not to not to do.
So he would,
perform 100 of rakat of nafal every day,
fast in the heat,
all sorts of things that would break him,
in so many ways. And the masha' warned
him not to. And, essentially, what happened was
he kept doing these things until,
such a state came over him that he
lost his mind.
And, he became so aware of the divine
presence that,
he couldn't see himself anymore, so he would
start saying
that I'm the haqq,
which is a statement outwardly,
outwardly, it's a it's a statement of kufr,
of disbelief
because the haqq is one of Allah.
Those who feel sympathy for,
Al Hallaj,
interpreted it by saying that
he was
witnessing the divine. He wasn't saying that that
that he himself is the the rather he
was witnessing his infinitesimal
in
front of Allah, his insignificance
that it made him feel like he was
0 and that that that all he could
see everywhere was,
Allah Ta'ala,
and it overpowered him seeing anything else including
himself.
Imam Junaid, Bardadi
who was
a combination of both of the sacred law
and of the tariqah. It said,
when the case of,
Mansur Al Hallaj was Abu Mansur Al Hallaj
was brought to
him, he took off his his, his cloak
of the Darvesh of the Sufis, and he
put on the cloak of the. And he
himself gave the the the the fatwa of
that that,
he should be killed for apostasy for uttering
this. And he was brought to the gallows,
and he was hung, and he,
he died.
But, that was because of, Imam Jannaid's
steadfast adherence to the outward form of the
law.
As for what the reality was inside of
his heart, it's a secret vouchsafe between him
and Allah Ta'ala, but most of the,
Sufis, they they say that he was overwhelmed
by by, an experience which the mashaikh warned
him,
not to not to take this path because
he wouldn't be able to handle
himself. And because of this, he was turned
into an example.
So
for those of you who might think he's,
you know, this is just some Sufi who's
embellishing something.
He was the one who taught Bukhari in
the Darulum in Durban
by the wasi of,
of sheikhul Hind of his sheikh,
who was the, disciple in Khalifa of Moana
Rashid Ahmed Gangehi,
and his his
successor on the seat as, sheikh Hadis in
Durban.
He was the one who said that the,
the strong condition that came over, Mansoor Hallaj
came over, Meehanji for 6 months,
but he had so much self control over
himself that he concealed it,
and continued with his teaching and didn't let
anybody know it wasn't able to overpower him.
Once some people came to Hazrat and asserted
their desire for rectification or
At this time, Hazrat was engaged in teaching
the children.
Instructing the children to continue with their lessons,
Hazrat went into his room with the people
and closed the door.
Inside, Hazrat began casting his or his,
the
the concentration
on the,
on the group.
The biggest or the eldest of the children
from the group learning their lessons came and
peeped through a keyhole.
He saw Hazrat
with closed eyes sitting and facing the people.
The child narrated to the other children what
he had seen. He then, with a group
of children, imitated the scene. He pretended to
be the sheikh and sat in front of
them. All the children's,
closed all the children closed their eyes. When
later, Hazrat
learned of the children's act, he instructed the
boy to sit in front of him with
closed eyes. He, however, became scared very quickly.
Unable to bear it, he got up and
went away. In his old age, that child
said that at the time during his childhood
when he set closed eyes in front of,
it seemed to him as if a burning
flame was put into his heart, which he
was unable to bear immediately.
Thereafter, the flame was lifted. He continued, nevertheless,
the effect of the childhood experiences
such that even now on a dark night
inside the house during the winter with my
face covered with a blanket,
I am aware of the movement of the
leaves of the neem tree outside of the
house.
Either Hazrat Maulana Rashid Ahmed Gangohi or Hazrat
Maulana Asherfali Tanui narrated that someone informed Hazrat
Mianji of a man who had an exceptionally
beautiful voice.
The informer suggested that Hazrat sometime listen to
the knot of this person, to the to
the nasheed in praise of the prophet, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, sung by this person. Hazrat
Mi'aji said,
sometimes people ask me to be the imam.
On the question of singing, even without the
accompaniment of musical instruments, there's a difference of
opinion.
Further,
it is,
part of caution not to listen to it.
Therefore, I shall not listen.
After narrating this episode, Hazrat Hanri commented, this
indicated the degree of his respect and regard
for the post of being iman. He abstains
even from those things in which there is
a difference of opinion,
an act which some say is permissible and
others say is not. This was a a
a pure Sufi who cared so much for
the shari'ah.
When Hadid Hajji Imdadullah took up residence in
the Pir Muhammad Wali Masjid Athana Bhavan, there
was no veranda to the Masjid.
There were some graves and some trees. An
elder by the name of Hassan al Ishahu
participated
in Sima'a or the
musical audition of the songs of the Sufi
lived there. But he was not a man
of this world. He was a sincere man.
When Hazid Hajim Dadullah arrived, this elder, out
of respect, left the place and went to
Shahwulayat
Sahib, the name of a suburb.
This elder, despite his advanced age, vacated the
place where Hajim Dadullah, who was at the
time a young man. When Hazrat Mehanji Nur
Muhammadur occasionally visit the place, and this place
was a family whose land was expropriated.
The family was contesting the action in a
bid to reclaim the land. They came to
Hazrat Meinji for dua in this regard.
Hazrat said, my Hajji Hajji and Dadullah finds
it difficult to sit here. Build him a
veranda, and I shall make dua. They promised
to build a veranda for him. The matter
was heard in accord in Allahabad. The family
was successful, and the land was restored to
them. The outcome of their application was conveyed,
to them by a special letter by the
authorities.
In happiness, they informed Hazrat Meyenji who said,
do you also remember your promise?
They said that they could afford only half
the cost of the veranda.
Hazrat Meanyi commented very well even if it
is half.
Soon thereafter, they came an official notification from
Allahabad.
The appropriation will be reinstated after the death
of the owner. They hastened to Hazrat with
the news. Hazrat said, after all, you yourselves
have halved it. What can I do now?
And this is a very beautiful story about
what that your maqam with Allah ta'ala is
how his maqam is with you. If you
want to be halfway in your deen, don't
be surprised when he gives you halfway in
the dunya. That's not even such a big
deal. The fearful thing is if you receive
from him halfway in the all of
our protection.
His Khalifa.
Hazrat Mianji was a founded head of the
Fayban,
and Irfan,
and that his system of tarbia moral and
spiritual training was exceptionally lofty and most effective.
And it can be ascertained
from the fact that his,
his, gnostic and spiritual pedestal of his is
on such a elevated status
that each of them independently
constituted a sun and star spiritual guidance in
their time.
So Irfan is, is the gnosis of
and,
and it is a a term that denotes
the understanding of the people who who know
Allah and the the the or the the
condition of that knowledge of Allah pervades their
heart.
Azad Mihajee was a fountain head of Fayban
of the divine effluence
spiritual, effluence that comes from the divine
and the Irfan, the divine gnosis.
And his system of talbiyah,
a spiritual and moral training was exceptionally lofty
and most effective.
This can be ascertained from the fact that
the,
gnostic and spiritual pedestal of his Khalifa
are of such elevated status that each of
them constituted a star and sun of spiritual
guidance in their time.
The following are the names of these illustrious
Khalifa of Hazrat Meanji.

Has it saved Mohammed Amir Janjani?
And has it Sheikh Barakat Ali Shah?
