Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

299-300

In the inaugural section of his sermon, Hazrat Mahboob e Subhani, Qutab e Rabbani, Ghaus e Samadani Hazrat Shaikh Muhyiddeen Sayyed Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani (Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz) says that:

'Once my progenitor, that is, the overlord of the worlds the Noble Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam met me in a dream. he said: O son! Give sermons! I humbly replied: O Lord! I am a non-Arabic person. How can I speak in front of the eloquent and studious persons of Iraq? he said: Open your mouth. I opened my mouth and he blew the air of his blessed mouth after reading something in heart seven times into my mouth. After this I met with Hazrat Ali Karram Allah Wajhu. He Karram Allah Wajhu also ordered me: O son! Why do you not deliver sermons? I humbly replied the same and he Karram Allah Wajhu ordered me to open my mouth and he blew the air of his blessed mouth after reading something in heart for six times into my mouth. I humbly enquired: O Hazrat Karram Allah Wajhu, Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam had done this for seven times and why you have done for six times only? He replied: As a gesture of deference to the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam, I have reduced it for one time.

He (Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz) says that after this incident, enormous torrents of the Tauheed and Marifat started rising in the ocean of my heart and eloquence was as if a flooded river which brought the pearls of truths and learning on the shore of my tongue. His sermons used to be a limitless ocean or a cloud of the Noor of the Conquests of the Divine Grace and the Ilhaam of God which turned the condition of the audience, which at times rose to seventy thousand people which also included renowned scholars and learned person of Arab and Non-Arab world. Some used to fall in Wajad (spiritual trance), some used to scream and cry after becoming so vexatious and started tearing their clothes themselves, some fell unconscious and lost self-control, some careless Aashiqeen used to die like Hazrat Alaihis-Salaam after not bearing the sights of the Tajalliyaat of the Anwaar of the Omniscient Essence! His respectable son Hazrat Shaikh Abdullah (Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe) reports that two to four people certainly died in the assembly hearing his Sermon. Some capable person was those who flied to heavens from the gathering when the Disclosure of the Electricity of his Tawajuh fell upon them.

To the bosoms of some, the mysteries and learning opened. Many Kashf and Karamaat were involuntarily emanated from his personified personality sitting on the Sermon Chair. It felt as if the hearts of all listeners are in his blessed fingers which are being moved as he is willing to be. Sometimes he addressed the people after knowing that which was in their mind. He used to endow upon some the raiment of Wilayat. In short, his Sermon used to be an unfathomable ocean of the Outwardly and the Inwardly bounties and munificence by which everyone, as per his capacity, used to get full benefit. Thousands of Kuffaar, Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims got the honor of embracing Islam in his Assembly of Sermon and many abominable persons, wretched ones, thieves and brigands became the People of Hidayat after repenting over their sins. The Jinn, Angels, Spirits of unseen men and even the spirits of the Holy Prophets and the Holy Messengers (of Allah) also attended his Sermons and at many occasions, also the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam had honored the assemblage with his blessed presence there. Hence, once he left the Sermon Chair and stood hand tied and head down with reverence and many Masters of Haal the People of Perfection (and Attainment) Faqeers also stood in same fashion. After the conclusion of the Speech, people humbly asked him the reason of this and he said: Our Chief Progenitor Lord of the worlds Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam had honored us with his blessed presence and told us: O son! I have come to listen to your speech'. When I left the chair and humbly said: 'O Lord! What opportunity this slave has that I may utter a word in presence of your Most Kaamil essence?' Thus, the Hazrat left the assembly with honor. Hazrat Mahboob e Subhani, Qutab e Rabbani, Ghaus e Samadani Hazrat Shaikh Muhyiddeen Sayyed Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani (Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz) says that there no Jinn, Angel, Wali and Prophet in the world who has not attended his Sermon speech. All have attended his Sermon in physical appearance or Inwardly spiritual bulks. Often, when, Hazrat Khizar Alaihis-Salaam came to his Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe assembly, he Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe addressed him like this: O Prophet of Israel, stop and listen the words of revelation of Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam!.
