A
Khalifa, Shaikh
Najam ud Din Taflisi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala
Alaihe 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 ,
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 40th
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:
,
.
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'.
