Baba Farid (r.a.)

One day a certain Qawwal (Sufi musician), with the name of Abu Bakr, came from Multan (Pakistan) to Hazrat Nizamuddin's teacher. The teacher asked for information about the Sufi Sheikhs of Multan. Abu Bakr answered thus: "I have lived in the company of Hazrat Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria of Multan and I have sung mystical couplets for him. In his khanaqah (Sufi monastery) the worship of Allah is very devoted, so much so that even the girls, who knead the flour, while doing so, are occupied with the Zikr (remembrance of Allah). From there I went to Ajodhan (the present Pak Pattan, city in Pakistan). There I got the privilege of meeting Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ghanj-e-Shaker (r.a.)," That sovereign of love of God has conquered the world and the light of his moon has illuminated that area."

"When I heard these words of praise in regard to Baba Fariduddin Ganj-e-Shaker (r.a.)," Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) says, I developed a sudden and intense love for him and I began to repeat his name after every Namaz (prayer)."

The Qawwal had started his concert with this line: "The living serpent of love has bitten my heart." But then Abu Bakr could not recollect the second line. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) helped him to do so, and seeing this, the Qawwal became very attentive towards him. From that day, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) became very much attached to Baba Farid (r.a.).

 

 

Coming to Delhi

"When my eighteenth year began," Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) tells, "I traveled from Badayun to Delhi." Musamma Ayuz accompanied him in this journey. Ayuz was a staunch believer in the spiritual greatness of Baba Farid (r.a.). Whenever he saw the slightest danger because of robbers or wild beasts, he would cry out: "O, Pir! Come! I need your protection." "I asked him the name of that Pir and Ayuz said: "It is the one who has caught your heart and got you enamored," meaning Baba Farid (r.a.). Thus from that day my faith in the Sheikh increased."

"When in Delhi, I stayed by chance near Hazrat Baba Fariduddin's brother and Caliph Hazrat Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakkil. My mother and sister were also with me. We rented a house in the neighborhood of the great Sheikh, whose company was very valuable to me. In his presence, the qualities of Baba Fariduddin Ganj-e-Shakar (r.a.) used to be described. On hearing them, I felt the desire of kissing his feet. For approximately three years I stayed in Delhi.

 

 

Meeting Baba Farid (r.a.)

One day Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) said to Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakkil that he should pray to God, so that he (Nizamuddin) might become a Qazi. Then he would be able to spread justice among the creatures of God. The Sheikh remained silent. When Hazrat Nizamuddin (r.a.) repeated his question, he answered thus: "God forbid that you be a Qazi; be something else!"

In those days, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) used to spend the nights at the Jama Masjhid. One morning, the muezzin (the one who calls to the prayer) recited the following verse from the minaret:

"Has not the time come for the faithful that their hearts should bend for the remembrance of Allah" [Quran 57:16]

Hearing this, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia's (r.a.) condition changed. It was as if he received spiritual illumination from every direction. And, without any food, he left Delhi in order to present himself to Baba Farid (r.a.). At the age of twenty, on Wednesday the 11th of Rajab 655 A.H. (1257 A.D.), he reached Pak patang. Coming before Hazrat Baba Farid (r.a.), he unsuccessfully tried to summon up courage to tell in detail how eager he was to see him. He could not do so, because of awe. Baba Farid (r.a.) then said: "Every newcomer is nervous." Thereafter Baba Farid (r.a.) recited this verse:

"O, the fire of separation of Thee,
Has made the hearts like roasted meat; 
The flood of the fondness of Thee 
Has made the lives morose."

Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) was honored to be accepted as the mureed (spiritual disciple) of Baba Farid (r.a.). Then Baba Sahib remarked: "O, Nizamuddin! I wanted to entrust the domain of Delhi to someone else. When you were on the way I heard a voice to the effect that I should wait as Nizamuddin is coming. He is fit for this domain. It should be entrusted to him. So stay in our company so that after completing your inner training, we will appoint you as our caliph and as the Wali-e-Hindustan (the saint of India)."

Hazrat Nizamuddin lived in the company of his Pir-o-Murshid (spiritual guide) for seven months and a few days. In this short period, he became deserving of the Khilafat of the great mystic Baba Farid. On the second of Rabi 'ul Awwal 656 A.H. (1258 A.D.), Baba Farid bestowed Khilafat and Wilayat to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) by giving him the special turban, which came to Baba Sahib from Chishti (Afghanistan). After coming to Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) ascended the throne of khilafat-e-piran-e-Chishi, i.e., he became a caliph of the Chishti Sheikhs. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) came ten times to Ajodhan: three times in the life of Baba Farid and seven times after his death.

After residing in Delhi for a few days, he disdained the crowds of people and desired to withdraw himself to the desert. He then received a Divine inspiration that his place of residence should be Ghiyaspur, a small village outside the city of Delhi. First he had raised a temporary shed with a straw roof for himself and all his companions. After some time, a better place was constructed for him by one of his disciples, Ziauddin Wakil Mulk. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) lived here for more than sixty years and never changed his place of residence. The khanaqah is still there and is visited by many people up to this day.

 

 

Miracles

Once Sultan Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah asked Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) to come to him on the last day of every month. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) responded: "It is against the tradition of my sheikhs. I will never go to meet the king." His friends advised him to turn for help to his Sheikh Baba Farid, so that the problem would be solved. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) refused to do so, saying: "The tasks of religion alone are many. I feel ashamed to give pain to the Sheikh for a worldly affair." He then said: "The king will not be victorious over me for I have had a certain dream. I saw that an animal with horns was attacking me. Upon it coming closer, I took hold of its horns and threw the animal on the earth in such a way that it was killed." That day, after the noon prayers, he declined to visit the king. When two hours of the day remained, he was asked again to visit the king. He gave no reply. But it so happened that upon that very night, the king was murdered by a certain Khusru Khan.

Another Sultan by the name of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq wanted Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) to leave Ghiyaspur before the Sultan's visit to Delhi. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) was saddened by this and remarked: "Delhi is still far away." Then just before the arrival of the king in Delhi, the palace of Tughlaqabad fell upon him and he was killed.

Sultan Alauddin had the fear in his heart that Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) wished to rule the kingdom himself and that he was only waiting for the proper time and chance to overthrow him. As a test, he sent some complicated matters related to state affairs to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) and asked for its solution. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) reacted thus: "What have the dervishes, seated on rugs, to do with the affairs of kings seated on thrones? It is better that the time of the dervish is not wasted and conscience of the faqura is not put to test." When the king respectfully invited Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) to visit him, the latter answered thus: "The affections of a dervish should be seen as a bird to which distress is caused by the hawk of kingly shows. It is better and enough to keep acquaintance through greetings."

Khwaja Hasan, who had lived in the company of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) when he was much younger, along with all his friends, was involved in the drinking of wine. One day, near the mausoleum of Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Khaki, they met again. Khwaja Hasan then recited this verse:

"For years we have been in each others' company, 
But your company did me no good. 
Your piety could not correct my sinful life. 
My sinful life is therefore stronger than your piety."

After hearing this verse, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) simply said: "There are different effects of company on different men." At once, Khwaja Hasan fell down at the feet of Hazrat Nizamuddin and along with his friends became a murid (spiritual disciple) of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.).

Hazrat Sheikh Nasiruddin of Oudh related that he used to receive worldly knowledge from Qazi Muhiddin Kashani. He suddenly became ill and no hope of life remained. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia v visited Sheikh Nasiruddin when he was unconscious. Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) rubbed his hand over his face. Immediately Sheikh Nasiruddin regained consciousness and put his head on the feet of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.).

One day a murid of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) prepared a feast for his Sheikh. Qawwals were also called and food was prepared. But when the same (music) started, thousands of people joined in. The host became worried because of the shortage of food. Feeling this, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) said to his Khadim (servant): "Wash the hands of the people and let ten people sit at one place. Start giving the food after saying 'Bismillah' (In the Name of Allah)." It so happened that everyone had enough food and there was a great deal of food left over. [11]

It is narrated that a certain Shamsuddin was a very rich man and had no faith in the spirituality of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.). Instead he used to speak ill of him in his absence. One day, he was drinking wine with his friends and suddenly he saw Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) appear in front of him, who made a prohibiting sign with his finger. Shamsuddin then threw the wine in the water and started towards the house of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) after performing the ritual ablutions. Seeing him, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) said: "Whoever is blessed by Allah, he abstains from sins like this." Hearing this, Shamsuddin became very astonished and with complete faith became his murid. He distributed all his money to the dervishes and in a short time became a Wali (saint) himself.

 

 

Writing & Saying

Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) collected the discourses of his Pir-o-Murshid in a book called "Rahat-ul-Qulodo."

Some of the sayings of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.):

  1. The Wilayat (domain) of gnosis and faith can suffer decay. The Wilayat of compassion can not.
  2. The love of Aulia (saints) is stronger than their reason.
  3. The lock of spiritual perfection has very many keys. All those keys are to be possessed. If one does not open it, others can.
  4. He who has knowledge, reason, love, and deserves to become a caliph of the Sufi sheikhs.
  5. As long as is possible, give relief to your heart, because the heart of a good Muslim is the palace of the manifestation of Allah.

     

 

Nature

After passing the spiritual status of farwaniyat, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) reached the status of Mehboob (beloved). His personality was the container of divine secrets and his intentions were in harmony with those of Allah. He spread a very fine fragrance. Qazi Hamiduddin Kashani also became fragrant with this scent and unsuccessfully tried to wash it way. He narrated the incident to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.), who explained it thus: "Qazi, this fragrance is of the love of Allah, which He gives to His lovers."

In the early period of his life he experienced great poverty. Although in Sultan Ghyasuddin Balban's time one could buy melons for very little money, the greater part of the season would pass without Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) eating a single slice. One day a pious woman brought some barley flour and presented it to him. He asked Sheikh Kamaluddin Yaqub to boil it in a cauldron. At that moment a faqir with a patched frock arrived and with a loud voice said: "O, Nizamuddin! Bring whatever is present." Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) gave all the food to him. The faqir ate it all and then broke the cauldron. Hereafter he said: "O, Nizamuddin! You have received the bounties of the invisible world from Baba Farid and the bowl of visible poverty I have broken. Now you have become the sultan of both the visible and invisible world." From that day on, countless gifts started coming and free food was distributed to hundreds of visitors every day.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) was very generous as can be seen in the following narration, which can be found in Jami's "Nafhatul Uns." A merchant of Multan lost all his possessions to a band of thieves. He told Sheikh SaDaruuddin, the son of the famous Suharwardy saint (Shaikh Bahauddin Zakaria of Multan), that he intended to go to Delhi and asked for a letter of recommendation to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.). Then he was told by the great saint that he would receive all the gifts that would be given from the morning to the chasht (forenoon) prayers. About 12,000 golden and silver coins were received. All these were given to the merchant.

Every day large numbers of gifts used to be received, but they were distributed before the evening. More than three thousand needy people used to live on the Langar (tree feeding).

Shortly before his death, Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) called Khadim Iqbal and said: "Whatever cash is present, bring it so that I may distribute it to the deserving." Iqbal replied: "Whatever gifts come, they are spent on the same day. But there are a few thousand tons of grain in our storeroom." Bring it out and distribute it to the deserving," said Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.).

Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) had great love of Sama (Sufi music). His friends, disciples and students used to perform such Qawwali (music) in his presence that even animals used to s^Top^ and listen to it. One day he was out for a walk, when he saw a person who was pulling water out of a well and was saying in a loud voice to his companions: "Remain outside today, brother!" Hazrat Nizamuddin, after hearing this, started weeping, and his khuddam (servants) repeated that line until they reached home again.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) remained a bachelor all his life. Once his kamarband (a rope used to fasten a pair of trousers) got away from his hand. Baba Farid then said: "Tighten the kamarband properly." Hazrat Nizamuddin asked: "How should I do it? Baba Sahib answered: "Tighten it in such a way that except the houris of heaven, nobody is capable of opening it." Hearing that Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) put his head on the floor and did not marry.

 

 

A Story

One day Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) was listening to Qawwali and in ecstasy, waving his handkerchief, said: "We regret, we have not become equal to the washer mans' son even." At that moment no one dared to ask what he meant, but some days afterwards he was asked about it by Hazrat Amir Khusru (r.a.). The explanation of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (r.a.) was like this: "The son of the washer man of the king, without seeing the princess, was in love with her. He used to wash her clothes with utmost care, and even mended and improved them by various means. Without seeing her, he used to moan and weep in the memory of her beauty. His parents became very worried. To speak about it is a problem and not to speak about it is a problem. We are washers and she is a princess. How can the dust of the earth be compared with the sky?

So they tricked him in order to try and change their son's ideas. One day his mother came to him with a grief-stricken face. He asked what the matter with her was. Then she explained "Today was the soyam (the third day after the death) of the princess whose clothes you used to wash. The boy three times asked: "Has she died?" -- and then with a shriek died.

On the fourth day, the washerwoman brought the clothes back to the princess. She asked: "Who has washed these clothes today? They do not look as clean as they used to be. Their neatness used to look as if love has been involved." Hearing this, the washerwoman became sad and started weeping. On being forced by the princess, she explained everything. The princess then wished to visit his grave. At once, when she was there, the grave cracked and the princess said: "It cracked at places. Ah! Whose grave is this? Probably a restless heart is buried in it." Then the princess fell down and expired.

 

 

Uniting with Allah

After an illness of about four months he expired in 725 A.H. (1324 A.D.) and realized seclusion (i.e., was buried) in Ghiyaspur. The locality is named after him today.

 

 

Poetry

The following is a translation of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia's (r.a.) famous poem in honor of the Prophet:

O breeze! turn towards Medina (and) from this well-wisher recite the Salaam.
Turn round the king of the prophets (and) with the utmost humility recite the Salaam. 
Sometimes pass the gate of mercy (and) with the gate of Gabriel rule the forehead. 
Salaam to the prophet of God (and) sometimes recite Salaam at the gate of peace. 
Put with all respect the head of faith on the dust there. 
Be one with the sweet melody of David and be acquainted with the cry of anguish. 
In the assembly of the prophets recite verses from the humble being 'Nizam'.

 

 

Quotes

True wisdom is to renounce the world.
Knowledge is achieved o- Salik achieves greatness from four
things: Less eating, Less talking, 
Less sleep and less socializing.

Benediction drops at three times: in
the state of hearing music, eating for
purpose of obedience, speaking about 
the mendicants.

In making a deal one should not talk 
as to make veins stand on his neck 
viz. symptoms of prejudice and anger.

Patience is: "When a man princes a
thing not to his liking, he does not
complain"

But willingness is the thing that
suffering does not make him feel bad
as if it has not befallen on him.

Love of saint's rules over their intellect.
The joys neither make a mendicant
happy nor do sufferings grieve him.

Heera Lal Kochwan

I thought that I should also collect and put it in Black & White some chronicles from Brother Heera Lal Kochwan, who was assigned on duty of Sarkar’s (Bawa Tajuddin r.a.) Tanga (Horse Carriage) from Raja Sahib. So I met him, and presenting the special account, which he narrated:

One day Sarkar (r.a.) was on excursion on cart, and touring Maharaj Bagh (Garden). Instantly His Majesty (r.a.) ordered audibly

“Brah rey garri Kabul Kandhar”
Accelerate the carriage to Kabul Kandhar

As soon His Majesty pronounces the panorama changed completely. At once, now our Tanga was not in Maharaj Bagh, instead it was moving in an unknown and unfamiliar city. After reaching a place His Majesty Baba Jee the lord (r.a.) asked to s^^ the cart, there was a room where it s^^ped, three men came out of that room and fore kissed Hazoor’s feet. Sarkar conversed with them also, which I couldn’t understand, then His Majesty ordered,

“Barha Rey Gari”
Move the cart

And the next moment we were in the Mahraj Bagh.

Hazrat Aeyn Allah Shah Sahib (r.a.) verified this account (whose shrine is at Anao Bharat) and Brother Heera Lal also recognized Him and told that those 3 men who came out of the room, out of them one is this Venerabe (r.a.).

Did you see the marvel that the Tanga is cruising among the devotees in Maharaj Bagh and reached to Kabul also at the same time?

He visualize a Venerable dressed in a Green Jubba (a cloak) standing in such a posture with both hands cross folded, his inner self divulged him that this is certainly a Darwaish Kamil (a man without desire of worldly charms or a Mystic Saint). He narrates: I stood behind him, after a while when His Majesty stride I tried to fore kiss him, but His Majesty (r.a.) said in Madrasi dialect:

“Yahan nako rey, Narangi key Nagpur key Kareeb Waki Wahan”
Not at this place, near Nagpur of Oranges, there is Waki, there

Upon return from the journey of Hajj, Hajji Sahib came to Nagpur, and inquired the address of Waki, by chance he met, Ahmed Khan Sahib of Nawab Porah. He said to him that the Venerable you’re looking for is our Baba Sahib (r.a.). His Majesty recently went to Waki form Nagpur, Hajji Sahib exultant upon hearing this; Ahmed Khan Sahib embarked him on train from Atwara Station.

Hajj of Allah's Kaaba

An elderly man came from Madras in respect of Hazoor (His Majesty R.A.) with a desire that if Baba Sahib (r.a.) attained me to Mecca Moazamma, I will be able to perform Hajj. He appeared in His Majesty’s respect, and put his request in front of Hazoor. As so many Raja and Nawab come to you please bequeath from someone smallest amount at least I can go and perform Hajj. Hazoor confirmed him that he will go. So when the time of Hajj came very nearby the Madrasi Sahib become more anxious and requested Hazoor (r.a.) that from tomorrow Hajj will start, and you Majesty didn’t attained me to Mecca. The next day as routine Hazoor (r.a.) was on move, at that time the elderly person also came along with his request.

An Open Invitation

An Open Invitation

 

An open invitation to all citizens.
Come, Come, who ever you are to know the real creation.

Your religion, Myths, or what appeals,...
Once lie your will feel relive.
Once lie your soul to Allah's believes
Test it, learn it, act on it, or feel

So that you will feel relive.
O human! do what Allah demands,
We cannot go against his commands
Death is ordained for everyone,father, mother, daughter or son

O friends! do understand your fears,
Other wise it is to late for tears
You lived in this world, to score and more, never did you, your people adore.

Your parents, you did not obey,
Hunger, beggars, you turned away
Your two ill-gotten, female offspring's
In night-clubs, for livelihood they sing

Instead of making more Muslims,
You made your children non-Muslims.
You ignored the Mua'dhin Adhaan,
Nor did you read the Holy Quran

Breaking promises all your life,
Backbiting friends, and causing strife,
From hoarded goods, great profits you made
And your workers, you under paid.

Luxury cars and cards were you leisure,
Money-making was your pleasure.
you at vitamins and grew more fat,
With the very sick, you never sat.

A pint of blood you never gave,
Which could a little baby save.
O Human! you have done enough wrong
You bought good properties for a song

When the needy one appealed to you
You did not have mercy, "its true"?
Paradise & heaven for you? I cannot tell
Undoubtedly you will dwell in hell

Readers! Take moral from here
You never Know, your end may be near
Change your living and make amends
Or heaven, on your deeds depends.

If this invitation (of Islam/Sufism) inspires you
With a miracle it can Change your life too...
At least take some time to evaluate before doom
And go through this web site.. to help you.

Sufism is not something new, but Islam aside
Teaches you to know Allah, Messengers and Aulia's right.
No one can reach directly to Allah with his strength
Until and unless, One obey Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and Aulia's right.
