Abstract
Description
Tauheed, literally meaning the Divine Oneness, is the basic pillar
and foundation of Islam. Common Muslims consider that the
requirement of this most important pillar of Islam is fulfilled just
by declaring “La illaha ilAllahoo” i.e. “No one is
worthy of worship but Allah” by tongue and superficially
believing that Allah is the Creator, Master and Sustainer of every
creation and only He should be worshipped. They neither know
the essence of Tauheed nor verify it inwardly. That is why the
Holy Prophet said;
Meaning: There are many who recite the creed
verbally but only a few say it sincerely.
For the Mystics, Tauheed means that only Allah exists and
none else. They become one with The One and see Divine
Oneness everywhere. They love, fear and trust only Allah,
entrust all their matters to Him and keep their hopes only in Him
which is the essence of Tauheed. The book “Kaleed-ul-Tauheed”
meaning “The Key of Divine Oneness” and its teachings are a
source to reach the veritable Tauheed through the medium of
perfect spiritual guide of Sultan Bahoo‟s Sarwari Qadri order.
Without strengthening the foundation of Islam i.e. Tauheed, it is
impossible to fulfill other obligations as Allah desires.
To spread the valuable teachings of Sultan Bahoo all over the
world, his spiritual descendant Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan
Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman took up the responsibility to
translate all the books of Sultan Bahoo from Persian to English
and blessed me with this auspicious duty and the spiritual help
and favour to perform it. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad
Najib-ur-Rehman is the present perfect spiritual guide of Sarwari
Qadri order and the Reviver of Islam (Mujaddid1
) of the
millennium.
To translate Kaleed-ul-Tauheed (Kalan), he provided me its
following scripts;
(1) Persian manuscript written by Sultan Mohammad Ibrahim in
1392 Hijri, printed in December 1993 by Asad Mehmood
printing press, Rawalpindi.
(2) Persian manuscript written by Faqeer Hazrat Ji son of Faqeer
Mohammad Din in 1333 Hijri.
(3) Printed Persian script along with Urdu translation done by
Saad Ameer Khan Niazi. 1st edition published in 1993 and
3rd edition in July 2010.
Sultan Bahoo used to write two volumes of his books; first
detailed and the other brief. He added the Persian word “Kalan”
meaning “big” to the title of the detailed book and “Khurd”
meaning “small” to the title of the brief book. This particular
book is the Kaleed ul Tauheed Kalan i.e. The key of Divine
Oneness (Detailed). Its second volume Kaleed ul Tauheed Khurd
will be translated soon.
The book in hand is the first ever English translation of
Kaleed-ul-Tauheed (Kalan). I am truly thankful to Miss Fatima
Irfan Sarwari Qadri for deducing and writing the correct Persian
script and Mr. Mohammad Rashid Gulzar Sarwari Qadri for
composing it. I am also thankful to Mr. Ahsan Ali Sarwari Qadri
for composing and rechecking the Arabic verses and Hadiths. I
would also like to thank my husband and fellow disciple Mr.
Mohammad Moghees Afzal Sarwari Qadri for reviewing the
book and helping in its proof reading. Without their cooperation
and the spiritual beneficence of my spiritual guide Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman, it would have been impossible to
complete the translation.
In the book, Sultan Bahoo has very persuasively explained the
requirements of the spiritual way that leads to Tauheed and
makes a person true man of Allah granting His closeness and
vision. His diction is pure and easy to understand. Although, it is
not possible to maintain his style while translating his words
from Persian to English but I have humbly tried my best to
convey the true spirit of the words as per my understanding. It is
hoped that the book is read with the passion to understand the
essence of Tauheed and acquire it veritably.
