Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

301-302

In short, what his Sermon was? It was infinite and unending Miracle of the Ability of Allah Almighty which emanated through his blessed body.

Here this Faqeer (Noor Muhammad) tells you his own account that once, in wake of the Salook, a thought of learning the Ilm e Jaffar (the knowledge of Divining) came to my mind. Those were the days when I was stationing at the blessed illuminated Tomb of my Spiritual Mentor Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen Hazrat Sultan Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe. One day I saw in dream that a Hindustani looking tall elderly man wearing a long overcoat (Sherwani) has come on the tomb of Hazrat Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and people signal towards him with fingers that this person is the biggest Jaffaar, that is, the Master-of-Ilm e Jaffar of this age. That elderly man comes near me. When I greet him with Salaam, he enquires me if I have any intention of learning the Ilm e Jaffar. I reply affirmative. He says: then come so that I may teach you all the Ilm e Jaffar. Hence, he holds my hand and takes me on a platform in front of the Tomb of Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and his Masjid where a giant cabinet was standing. When that elderly man opens the door of that cabinet, there appears a big Loh, that is, a unique and strange inscribed tablet on which glowing colorful Letters of Abjad were Inscribed in beautiful font. Moreover, twelve Barooj (Zodiacs) and the Name of the Seven Spheres (Stars) were written at their respective places and these Stars were fitted with wires like the chords of violin in their cross across. In short, it was a very charming display of the Nature which was shining in that cupboard. As a pointer, that elderly man was holding a wooden stick. He points towards that Tablet and says: this is that Loh of Ability on which the entire Ilm e Jaffar is recorded. Now see! I show you one Amal through it and thereafter I will teach you all this Ilm. That time, I see a boy, whose age was round about eight to ten year, was standing in front of me. The elderly man says: see I want to disappear this boy through the Ilm e Jaffar.

Hence, he hits that stick on the chord of the Loh where the word Atarud (Mercury) was written (as far as I remember) from which a queer sound emerges and that boy disappears. Then he holds my hand and says: come that I may reveal unto you the whole Ilm e Jaffar. Therefore, he takes me towards the eastern side of the platform where now a water pool has been constructed these days. At that time, he holds my hand with his one hand and keeps the other hand on his beard and closes his eyes and starts employing his Tawajuh upon me. There I saw that Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen Hazrat Sultan Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe appears from his blessed tomb with his blessed illuminated face and glorious red beard riding over a horse. He calls me towards himself with a gesture of his blessed hand and it feels as if I am flying like a bird and reach in front of his blessed epitome of excellence. He was gracious enough and came down from his horse and says: 'O son! Ilm e Jaffar is a work that needs accounting and complexities. Come that I may teach you a comprehensive and the best Ilm instead'. I humbly said: 'O Hazrat Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe! It will be the graciousness of the sun Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe if he lights a particle'. Then, he says: 'See! That boy that had vanished through the Ilm e Jaffar, I can bring him back through a single Gaze'. At that time, I gaze upon the blessed face of the Hazrat Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and see that two letters of the alphabets of Kaaf and Noon were shining parallel to his Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe blessed eyebrows with bright sunny color like two shining stars. When he Gazes upon the place where that body had vanished, a flame emerges from his blessed eyes and the word 'Kun' is seen written there with Noori Letters. I fee, at that occasion, as if earth is shaking and covers are being removed one by one from it and at once that boy appears there. Hazrat Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says: 'Is it not better than the Ilm e Jaffar?' I humbly reply: 'O Hazrat! Verily this is the best and the highest of Ilm'. He Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe holds my hand at this and say: 'come! I will impart this Ilm to you also'. Thus, he Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe holds my hand and takes me inside the Khanqah. I become unconscious at that time.
