Abstract
Description
Spirituality and mysticism is in the soul of every human being.
Every soul is curious to know about its Creator and remains
anxious for His Closeness. To satisfy this curiosity man is busy
in exploring the Nature but his anxiety never ends because
basically the soul wants to recognize its Creator not the creation.
Only the Sufis and Mystics find the eternal peace of heart as
their souls reach and recognize their Beloved Creator. Only His
Closeness is the safest refuge from all the worries of this world
and the hereafter. His Closeness also reveals all the hidden
secrets of the Nature because He is The Creator and He knows
everything about His Creation, so whoever reaches close to Him
gets all the hidden knowledge. That is why the pioneers of all the
basic branches of science like Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Mathematics etc. were the Sufis such as Al-Khawarizmi, Ibn AlHaytham,
Abu Rehan Al-Biruni, Bu-Ali Sina (Avicenna) Jabir
Bin Hayyan, Omar Khayyam and many more.
When a Saint reaches very close to Allah, he brings the message
of Allah for His Seekers and Lovers. This Divine message tells
the human beings what the purpose was behind their creation,
what is their relationship with their Creator, how they can fulfill
the main purpose of their life and return successfully to their
Divine Home without being trapped by the Satan, their inner
baser self (nafs) and the desires of this world and hereafter.
Risala Roohi Sharif is one such Divine Message; concise,
comprehensive and complete conveyed to us through the most eminent Sufi Saint of the Sub Continent, Sultan Bahoo. He has
written 140 books, of which Risala Roohi Sharif is the most
popular and is the essence of all his teachings. This Divine Book
not only opens the doors of the spiritual world upon its readers
but is also a source of elevation for those Seekers of Allah who
have been demoted from their spiritual level. It is the only book
by Sultan Bahoo which is often recommended as Wazeefa
(litany) in various mystic orders. Its magnificent spiritual values
owes to the fact that Hazrat Sultan Bahoo has written it while
being in the state of Absolute Oneness with Allah at the station
of HaHooiyat1
.
Hazrat Sultan Bahoo writes in his book Ain-ul-Faqr:
“Like Prophet Mohammad Sall’Allahu Alayhi Wa’alihi
Wasallam I was not formally educated by anyone. Rather, I
was given The Divine Knowledge. Its triumphs and spiritual
experiences revealed such a vast inward and outward
knowledge that needs infinite books to be expressed.”
This statement shows that Hazrat Sultan Bahoo could not read
or write. That is why no document or manuscript of any of his
books written by himself is available. Whatever he dictated
verbally, as a result of Divine Inspiration, his disciples and
Khalifas2 wrote as it is. The original manuscripts were kept safe
by the descendants of Sultan Bahoo. Though, among 140 of his
books the manuscripts of most of the books were lost or wasted
with time. Now only thirty two of his books are available.
