Makhzanul Asrar Makhzan Ul Asrar

A Khalifa, Shaikh Najam ud Din Taflisi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe, of Hazrat Shaikh Shahab ud Din Abu Hafs Shaikh Umar Soherwardi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says that 'I was sitting in the blessed company of my Pir, Hazrat Shaikh Shahab ud Din Soherwardi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and he had ordered me to sit in privacy of forty days in Chilla. During the 40^th night of this Chilla , I saw that my Shaikh Hazrat Shahab ud Din Soherwardi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe is sitting on a high mountain and piles of jewels are lying near him. Many people are coming to him at the base of that mountain. He has a measure with him and he is distributing the jewels in the visitors. Piles of jewels were not to end. When I had come out of the privacy and attended his blessed presence to report him about this incident, before I could speak unto him, he said 'O Najam ud Din! That which, you saw the last night, many other countless bounties are with us granted by our Shaikh Hazrat Shah Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz through his one gaze-of-Kimiya Effect. For such a gaze, Maulana Room Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says:

Upon reaching Tabraiz I discovered, one gaze of the Shamas ud Din,

Has more effect and result than one can get by sitting in recluse in Chilla .

In our country, another very high and reputed Saint of the Soherwardi Sufi Order, was Hazrat Baha ud Din Zakariya, surname, Bahaa ul Haq Multani Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe. He was the Khalifa of Hazrat Shaikh Shahab ud Din Soherwardi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and he was the founder and spiritual Guide of the Soherwardi Sufi Order in Hindustan. He says that 'I have great trust and solid confidence on one thing of my all worships, Obedience and all the deeds of virtue I did and this thing will surely become a means of my deliverance in the Next World. This thing is this that Hazrat Pir Mahboob e Subhaani Shah Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz has said that 'Good tidings of Eimaan are for him, who saw me or saw him who had seen me. Great regrets are for him, who did not see me'. Hence, I have seen my Shaikh Hazrat Shahab ud Din Soherwardi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe and I have served him and he has seen Hazrat Pir Mahboob e Subhaani Shah Abdul-Qadir-Jelaani Qaddas-Allah Sirru-hul Aziz in his life. Hence, I fall in the category of those, who and entitled for this Good Tiding and if Allah Wills, I am be amongst the Ahl e Tooba'.
