| dc.description | Shams-ul-Arifeen (The enlightening sun for the Knowers of Allah) is a collection of important topics selected from eight of Sultan Bahoo’s books i.e. Kaleed-ul-Tauheed, Qurb-e-Deedar, Majmoa-tul-Fazal, Aqal-e-Beydar, Jamay-ul-Asrar, Noor-ulHuda, Ain Numa and Fazal-ul-Laqa. It is compiled by Sultan Bahoo's son Sultan Wali Mohammad for the ease of the seekers of Allah who seek guidance from the books of Sultan Bahoo. It contains the essence of eight of his books, rather is a summary of all his books. Sultan Wali Mohammad has not added or changed any word, he has just selected and compiled the original pieces of writing. So, Shams-ul-Arifeen is considered as the book of Sultan Bahoo. Sultan-ul-Arifeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo was the scholar of Divine Knowledge. Each word of his teachings leads the reader towards Divinity. It is the miracle of his books that they convert the seekers of the world or hereafter into the true seekers of Allah. Whoever reads his books with sincerity and faith, certainly finds the Right Path. To spread his teachings worldwide for the betterment of whole Muslim Ummah, it is inevitable to translate them in English which is internationally known and understood language. For this sacred purpose my Murshid1 Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-urRehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdas, who is the spiritual descendant of Sultan Bahoo and the present Shaikh2 of his Sarwari Qadri Order, conferred on me the honour of translating Sultan Bahoo’s books into English. To translate Shams-ul-Arifeen he provided me its manuscript written by Shahbaz-e-Arifaan Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Pir Syed Mohammad Bahadur Ali Shah3 who was also the Shaikh of Sarwari Qadri Order and lived during the period 1801-1934. He spent almost forty years of his life at the shrine of Sultan Bahoo and during the stay he copied and saved most of the books of Sultan Bahoo. The manuscript of Shams-ul-Arifeen was written by him in Ramazan 1915 (1330 Hijri). There are some other manuscripts of Shams-ul-Arifeen available but the manuscript of Pir Bahadur Ali Shah is the most authentic because he was also the spiritual successor of Sultan Bahoo. The other manuscripts of Shams-ul-Arifeen are written by: 1. Hafiz Mian Abdullah Gull Mohammad, in 1225 Hijri 2. Ameer Haider, in Muharram 1301 Hijri. This manuscript is present in Masood Jhandir Research Library Mailsi, Pakistan. 3. Anonymous, in Zilhajj 1214 Hijri The Persian text of Shams-ul-Arifeen is also available in printed form alongwith its urdu translation which are done by: 1. Saad Ameer Khan Niazi, which he did from the manuscript of Pir Bahadur Ali Shah (although he made a few changes in the original text). Its 1st edition was published in 2002, 2 nd in 2004 and 3rd in 2012. 2. Doctor Sultan Altaf Ali, which he did from the manuscript of Hafiz Mian Abdullah, published in 2010. 3. Hafiz Hammad-ur-Rehman Sarwari Qadri, which he did from the manuscript of Pir Bahadur Ali Shah in 2015. He printed the manuscript as it is and made no changes. The book in hand is the first ever translation of Shams-ulArifeen in English. I am thankful to Mrs. Yasmin Khurshid Malik Sarwari Qadri who reviewed it and gave suggestions to improve it. I am also thankful to Ahsan Ali Sarwari Qadri and Dr. Hamid Sarwari Qadri who put a lot of hard work to compose this book. | en_US |
