Abstract
Description
Nur-ul-Huda (The Light of Divine Guidance) is an exceptional work by the great Saint of Sub-continent Sultan Bahoo containing grand treasures of mysticism. As the name depicts, it is light of right guidance for all who seek it. Sultan Bahoo himself elaborates the grandeur of book in these words; § Know that by reading this mystical work based on Divine words, the reader is certainly immersed in the state of annihilation in Allah and reaches the essence of secret of „Be‟. The words of this mystical work speak and by their efficacy, the reader gains enlightenment, insight, inward purification, spiritual unification and guidance towards the Divine secrets. No doubt, the discussion in this mystical work instantly takes the seeker to the Divine presence granting him the Miraj and closeness of Allah that leads to gnosis and Divine observations and shows him the spectacle of both the worlds making him aware of every state. He states about writing this book; § I first gained the knowledge by the help and power of contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat and verified it esoterically. Then discussed it with Allah and the Holy Prophet and all the sacred Companions, Prophets, Saints, interpreters of Islamic law as well as compared it with their knowledge. After confirmation from all of them and having their permission I spread it among people through this book. Nur-ul-Huda is the most popular book of Sultan Bahoo and is like the curriculum of Divine path. It is distinguished from all other books of Sultan Bahoo because in it he has discussed every topic of Faqr and mysticism in detail, whether it is Divine vision or union, waham or ilm-e-dawat, sharia or spirituality, phases of life or death, so on and so forth. It fully sates the seeker and answers all the queries of its reader regarding the Truth. Marvellous work of Sultan Bahoo was hidden from the world being in Persian language which is not widely known. To acquaint the whole world with this treasure, my spiritual guide Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has taken revolutionary steps. Firstly, he trained his disciples spiritually and physically to make them understand the teachings of Sultan Bahoo, then translate his books in Urdu and English. He also made arrangements to collect all the available original Persian manuscripts of Sultan Bahoo books as well as all the published books for comparative study and then deducing a perfect Persian script for translation. After translation, he is spreading Sultan Bahoo‟s teachings through print as well as electronic and social media.
