Description
Sultan-ul-Faqr Sultan-ul-Arifeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo is
the most popular and eminent Saint of South Asia. He is known
in the whole world for his beautiful mystic poetry. Much work
has been done upon his life history, however, there were some
contradictions in the work of different researches. Many things
needed clarification and many aspects of his life were not
researched upon fully. Sultan Bahoo is the leader of all Saints
and Sultan of Knowers of Allah. His highest caliber demands
that his life history and struggle to spread the true religion should
be saved in proper and complete form. Moreover, his lovers and
devotees want to know each and every detail about him. So, his
spiritual descendant and the current Spiritual Leader of his
Sarwari Qadri Order1
Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman proceeded
the research upon his life. He has not only clarified all the
contradictions by comparing the work of earlier researchers and
then giving the actual facts with proofs and proper references but
has also unveiled many aspects of the life of Sultan Bahoo which
were hidden yet. His literary work which is in Urdu and titled as
“Sultan Bahoo” has been translated here in English for those
who are not acquainted with Urdu.
Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has done a lot more work
upon the life and teachings of Sultan Bahoo. His book Shams-ulFuqara
is an encyclopedia of the teachings of Sultan Bahoo and
contains the essence of all the books of Sultan Bahoo. Its
abridged English version is titled as “Sultan Bahoo-The Life and
Teachings”. His another book “Mujtaba Akhir Zamani” is the
detailed account of the life histories of Sultan Bahoo and his spiritual descendants who are the Spiritual Leaders of his
Sarwari Qadri Order after him. It has also been translated in
English by the title “The Spiritual Guides of Sarwari Qadri
Order”. In addition to these books, he has launched websites
www.sultan-bahoo.com and www.sultan-ul-arifeen.com which
are solely about the life and teachings of Sultan Bahoo. Many
other websites have boon launched under his supervision all of
which are based upon the teachings of Sultan Bahoo. His
monthly magazine “Sultan-ul-Faqr” also preaches the teachings
of Sultan Bahoo. Hence, it can be rightly proclaimed that Sultan
Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman is the true spiritual descendant of
Sultan Bahoo who is working hard to promote his teachings and
his Sarwari Qadri Order.
Although, lives of all great men contain inspiration and guide
the masses on the path of success, but the life of a Saint bears
light of guidance on The Divine Path which is the path of
salvation and eternal success. So, the biography of Sultan Bahoo
should be read with devotion, not only to enhance knowledge
about him but also to seek the path of righteousness from him.
