Abstract
Description
The book in hand is an English Version of “Syed-ul-Shuhada
Hazrat Imam Hussain aur Yazidiat” written in Urdu by Sultan-ulAshiqeen,
Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad
Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah ul Aqdas, the present Shaikh of the
Sarwari Qadri Order which finds its roots in „Faqr‟ the pride of
the Holy Prophet. Hazrat Sultan Bahoo who is the 5
th Sultan-ulFaqr
Soul, is the pioneer of this Order in the Sub-continent. He
was titled as Mustafa Sani and Mujtaba Akhir Zamani (Mustafa
the second and Mujtaba of the last era i.e. the one who would
spread his teachings in the last era) by the Holy Prophet. Hazrat
Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has taken up the
responsibility to spread Hazrat Sultan Bahoo‟s teachings in this
age of bafflement. So, one of his contributions among many is to
write such a book which would express the true philosophy behind
the Karbala incident and discriminate between the Hussain
doctrine and Yazidism, which are two universal thoughts, as in
every era both of these exist. He has presented it with reference
to Faqr of the dignified Imam Hussain who was a true
representative of his Grandfather the Holy Prophet. He has not
only narrated the whole incident in detail but also expressed the
matchless bravery of the juveniles of the sacred Family and the
grandeur and Divine Love of Hazrat Imam Hussain which he
maintained during the whole brutal incident. He had all the
spiritual power to annihilate the Yazid‟s forces but he was the
Insan-e-Kamil, how could he harm the Ummah of his great
Parent who brought him up in his sacred lap like a precious gift
of Allah. He gave his life along with his family and followers but
did not let the religion of his beloved Grandfather be dishonoured
and hence fulfilled his commitment to Allah. He accepted and
surrendered to Allah‟s Will with all his heart and perfect obedience.
Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has highlighted those
aspects of the incident of Karbala, which had been untouched by
other writers. He has always been desirous to widespread the
teachings of Faqr. For this purpose, he is getting all the books of
Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sultan Bahoo translated in English under
his kind guidance as well as his own books which all are based
on the teachings of Faqr. Being one of the humble disciples of
Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman I selected this book for
translation out of my great love for the sacred Imam following
my Spiritual Guide so the English readers can also benefit from
the best aspect of Karbala i.e. Faqr of Imam Hussain and his
elevated companions in Karbala. Under the spiritual guidance of
my respected Murshid I have done it with my heart full of love
and esteem for the sacred Ahl-e-Bayt.
On the command of my Spiritual Guide, I have already translated
his two other books “Mujtaba Akhir Zamani” and “Shams-ulFuqara”
with the titles “The Spiritual Guides of The Sarwari
Qadri Order” and “Sultan Bahoo-The Life and Teachings”
respectively, sharing with my colleagues Ambreen Moghees
Sarwari Qadri and Neyn Tara Sarwari Qadri, under his complete
supervision. I am also grateful to Ambreen Moghees Sarwari
Qadri who helped me a lot in this venture. May Allah make my
Murshid very successful in his grand objective of spreading
Allah‟s Message through the teachings of Hazrat Sultan Bahoo,
which are deeply rooted in the Holy Prophet‟s teachings.
