Abstract
Description
All praises and glory are for Almighty Allah and infinite blessings and salutations upon the beloved Prophet Mohammad whose magnificent self justifies these appreciations. Immense gratitude and love for Prophet Mohammad‟s sacred family, progeny and upon the sacred companions who are the true followers of Prophet Mohammad and the ones to outspread the religion of righteousness among the Muslim nation. Sultan-ul-Tarikeen Syed1 Mohammad Abdullah Shah Madni Jilani is the 26th spiritual guide of the Sarwari Qadri order. He is the spiritual guide of this order after Sultan Bahoo. He went to India from Madina on the order of Prophet Mohammad and got the Trust of Faqr from Sultan Bahoo, who then ordered him to settle in Ahmadpur East, Bahawalpur. Here thousands of seekers of Allah got beneficence from him. Since his death in 1860 AD, his sacred shrine has been a splendid source of spiritual benevolence for all. Similar to other spiritual guides of the Sarwari Qadri order, he also spent a reclusive life away from the limelight. Even after his death, his inspirational life did not get public notability. Despite this, the Divine beneficence from his sacred shrine prevailed. No one attempted to research and spread the facts about the life aspects of such perfect Mystic Faqeer2 , who is stationed at the magnificent ranks of the perfect Divine knower with the supreme manifestation of the Divine light. The 31st spiritual guide of the Sarwari Qadri order, Sultan-ulAshiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman, after a meticulous research has preserved the life and teachings of the spiritual guides of Sarwari Qadri order from Sultan Bahoo to Sultan-ul-Faqr VI Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali, in his book “Mujtaba Akhir Zamani” and its English version “The Spiritual Guides of Sarwari Qadri Order”.
