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.
