A book for all spiritual seekers

Reviewed in India on 21 June 2020
This is a valuable book with rare and interesting details
from the life of the amazing and one of the greatest Sufi
Saints Tajuddin Baba, who spent most of his life in
Nagpur, in the pre independent India.
I had come across the name of this Saint in the life
history of Shirdi Sai Baba written by Master E.
Bharadvaja. It is reported there that once Shirdi Baba
confused his disciples by mysteriously drumming on a
10
water pot with his satka (a short stick he used to carry
with him). He explained his action by saying, that he is
extinguishing the fire which caught the hut of Taj uddin
Baba in Nagpur. Taj uddin Baba on the other hand
refused to accept a wealthy visitor called Bapu Saheb
Buty as his disciple. He asked him to seek his salvation
from Shirdi Baba. Both the saints were in communion
with each other on the spiritual plane!
Then I was fortunate enough to read the short biography
of Tajuddin Baba written by the same author Master
Bharadvaja, which impressed me immensely. The
drawback of this short although very valuable biography
was that facts and details mentioned in it are not
complete or not explained in a logical sequence. Which
leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction. Still the reader gets
an idea of the overwhelming spiritual power and
universal love of Taj uddin. But it kindled my interest to
know more about this saint.
This made me always to be in search of a complete
biography of the saint with more details. As I by chance
discovered the Work of Mohammed Abdul Hafeez I was
thrilled and I ordered it immediately and am now a
happy possessor of this book.

11
Many important details from the life of this Sufi Saint,
which were like missing links, I could gather from this
book:
1. About the ancestry of the saint.
2. His childhood and transition from the worldly life to
that of godliness; the important incidents which took
place and worked as catalysers on the way to his
perfection.
3. His relation with the Maharaja of Nagpur and other
members of the aristocracy.
4. An exhaustive account of his relationship with the
Hindu-disciples and followers.
India is a country of spirituality. Many of its spiritual
masters have transcended the narrow limits of religion,
preached and practised universal humanism. It hardly
mattered for them to which religion their visitors
belonged – they were helped without any discrimination,
because only their merit mattered not their cast or
creed.
Swami Veerabhrahmendra’s chief disciple was a Muslim
named Sayyed. Shirdi Baba lived in a mosque and was
equally worshipped by Muslims and Hindus likewise. Taj
uddin Baba was not different in this matter.
12
As Abdul Hafeez writes in this book about a Hindu-
disciple, Venkat Rao, who worked as a Railway guard.
People observed him sitting near Taj uddin, although he
should have left that place and left Nagpur in a train
leaving for Bombay. His job demanded this. But Venkat
Rao does not leave that place, because he is completely
engrossed in the presence of the Baba. To the surprise of
the other people he was also seen at the same time
leaving in that train, which left for Bombay!
Western Occultism calls this phenomenon “bilocation” –
a miracle shown many times by Taj uddin Baba on
account of his supernatural powers. But the narration of
Hafeez leaves one question open: Did the Saint appear in
the form of Venkat Rao in the train? Or did he transfer
this supernatural power to his disciple so that he could
appear at two places at the same time? Spiritual masters
are capable of doing both the things.
A very interesting part of this book is that it gives a
glimpse into the Muslim or Sufi occultism (see page 81)
and tries to explain how miracles happen. This theme
requires to be elaborated if the author is planning a
second edition.
From the point of view of modern Indian history this
book is of immense importance. Yoga and mysticism
13
have been not yet fully recognised driving forces behind
the Indian freedom struggle.
The chapter called “Gandhi and Ali Brothers” depicts
Gandhis taking the audience of Taj uddin Baba and the
Baba making two predictions – one for Gandhi and
another one for the Ali Brothers. Both of them turn out
to be true! I request the author to elaborate this chapter
with more details and photos if possible. That would
increase the value of this book hundredfold!
There are certain short comings in regard to the
language. English is a foreign language. It is not always
easy to chose the right preposition or the helping verb. In
spite of this the reader sees the godly figure of the saint
Taj uddin Baba shining behind the linguistic barbed fence
of a foreign language.
This is a book to be recommended for all those who are
interested in mysticism, universal love which overcomes
the narrow limits of religions and for the spiritual
seekers.

 1. The mirror of reality
The holy persons of Allah, by their conversation and
character, have presented a model of standard life style
in this matter. It was their method of less eating, less
talking, less sleeping, as well as fewer contacts with the
other persons.
They used to live an unconscious condition of loving Allah
as such that they did not know their own condition of
existence in this matter.Surrender to Allah’s will, turst
and content, hope and despair, love and brotherhood,
sincerity and service, indigence and hunger, and
selflessness and firmness was their ideal aim in this
matter.
They consider their trouble and solution, medicine and
remedy, prayer, passion and musical instrument, death
and life, success, as well as defeat from the side of Allah
in this matter. They were prisoners of the love of Allah.
And helpers of the religion of Allah. Helpers of the poor
persons. They were enlightened minds. And perfect
peers and costly and incomparable pearls.

2.Hazrat Khaja Qutub Uddin Bakhtiar Kaki

He was Qutub
(Qutb, Qutub, Kutb, Kutub, or Kotb (Arabic: (‫)قطب‬
which means 'axis', 'pivot', or 'pole'. Qutb can refer to
celestial movements and be used as an astronomical
term or a spiritual symbol. In Sufism, a Qutb is the
perfect human being, al-Insān al-Kāmil ('The Universal
Man'), who leads the saintly hierarchy. [The Qutb is the
Sufi spiritual leader who has a divine connection with
God and passes knowledge on which makes him central
to, or the axis of, Sufism, but he is unknown to the
world.] There are five Qutbs per era, and they
are infallible and trusted spiritual leaders. They are only
revealed to a select group of mystics because there is a
"human need for direct knowledge of God" among Qutub
persons. Hazrat Khaja Qutub Uddin Bakhtiar Kaki is the
Quutb of the world. Shaikh of applicablities as well as
Qutb of holy persons as per agreement of all. He was one
of the believers. Model of the realized person and reason
of the salik (student) persons. He is the light and lamp of

16
the family of Chisit noble people. He is beloved of
Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti of Ajmare. And guide of
Baba Farid Ganj Shaker.
Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Hazrat Alauddin Saber, Hazrat
Nasiruddin Chiraq Dehlavi, and Khaja Bande Nawaz’s
spiritual master. He, by leaving his country, arrived in
India. He thought the service and company of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chisti was a blessing for him in this matter.
From this company and service, he got the result that he
was the successor, first caliph, and custodian of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chisti of Ajmre. Khawja Ajmeri gave him the
saintliness of Delhi.
Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, who lit the lamp of light
of knowledge of Allah and reality and truth in Ajmare,
and for this lamp, Khwaja Qutub could not be diminished
by fast and heavy winds, nor was he allowed to decrease
the light of this lamp, and after him were his successors,
Baba Faird Ganj Shaker, and also his successor, who were
able to keep the light of the lamp in this matter. This
lamp is found with light in this matter. The moths of this
lamp are found in each and every city and village of India.
The success which was found to holy persons of Chist
and for which they will feel proud, which will be less in
this matter. The holy persons of Chist by character

17
and conversation have brought such revolution that it is
effect is there Indian civilization and culture, thinking
knowledge and literature, poetry, in short in all parts of
life there was such effect and its features which are still
found in this matter.

Birth: His birth date is glad-tiding as soul-pleaser. And a

message of peace and amity. It is the prelude to pleasing
and happiness in spirituality. When he was in the womb
of his mother, and from that time on, his holiness and
excellence prevailed, and his mother told about him,
during the pregnancy period, when she would wake for
Tahjud supererogatory prayer in the early morning time,
she used to hear the sound of ‘Allah al-Allah’, and it
would be for one hour from her womb.
During midnight, Hazrat came into this mortal world. And
there was light full around his house. And due to light, his
mother thought that there was sun rise at that time. So
his mother was surprised in this matter. Her mother saw
that Hazrat’s head was in prostration. And by his tongue
of favor, he was saying Allah, Allah. After some time,
when Hazrat left his head from prostration, that light was
no longer in the house. There was an invisible call in
which it was said, “The light which you have seen is from

19
is one from the secrets of reality and which have been
put in the heart of your son.”
He was born in the place Awash. This place was find in
the suburbs of Baghdad. This is also shown in the Persian
area. Some have written Awash in village of Marwa Al-
Nahar.Some have written in Tawaba Jan of the Fargana
region.Prince dar shikwa has written he was born in
Awash in the area of fargana in Toba ind Jam.
Birth place : His birth place and relation of his family is
connected with Awsah Fargana and that village known is
as Towaba Indjam.
Date of birth: About his date of birth, there is much
difference in this matter. His date of birth is 569 Hijri.
Name: His name is Qutubuddin, but some think his name
is Bakhtiar, and Qutubuddin is a title given by Allah.
But the reason for his calling Bakhtiar is that his spiritual
master Hazrat Haja Moinuddin Chisti used to call him
Bakhtiar, and for this reason he was well known by this
name of Bakhtiar.
He was pledged at the hands of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti, as he has pledged in the Sufi Chisti chain, so he
was called Chisti.

20
Title: His spiritual master, Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti,
was given the title of Qutub al-Aqtab.
His family name is Kaki. And for his calling as Kaki, there
are some reasons in this matter. When Hazrat
Qutubuddin Kaki began living in Delhi, he had
disconnected resources of manifestation. He passed life
along to family members in poor living conditions. Hazrat
Khaja Qutub used to live in conditions of engrossment.
His wife used to arrange food and drink in the house.
There was one grocer, and his name is Sharafuddin. And
who used to live in his neighborhood. And Hazrat’s
Qutub’s wife used to purchase on credit from the wife of
the grocer and upon receiving the amount she will use it
to give amount to her in this matter. And there was
happening such dealings. One day the wife of the grocer
taunted her If there is no credit from her side, how will
her work be done?.” And this saying was not liked by the
wife of Qutub Sahib. She discontinued taking grocery
goods from her. When this matter was known to Qutub
Sahib, he advised her wife to stop taking credit. But in
case of need, by telling Bismilla to take away bread from
the window in this matter. And her wife began doing this.
Once she told this matter to wife of grocer, then bread
was stopped to come from an unseen source.

21
Dar Shikwa has written about his calling Kaki is called for
this reason when Hazrat Qutub began residing. He then
did not receive any victories from anyone. Hazrat always
used to live in engrossment, and his boys used to pass
the life in poor condition. He used to take grocery items
from the grocer's wife on credit in case of hunger. And
who was living in his neighborhood. And in this way, he
used to live his life there.
One day the wife of the grocer told her “ If she will not
live in the neighborhood, then your condition will be very
bad.” This saying was not liked by Qutub Sahib’s wife.His
wife decided not to take credit, and one day this event
was known to Qutub Sahib. He told his wife she did not
take a loan from anybody. Upon need, put your hand in
the window of the room and take away cooked bread as
per need, and use it yourself and give it to others in this
matter. After this, he used to take away bread as per his
needs. And those breads are called Kaki.
The second reason for calling Kaki is that one day Amir
Khusro asked Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya why Khaja Qutb
is called Kaki.? And Sultan of the learned person, said,
“One day he was present at the Shamsi water reserve in
Delhi along with his friends, and there was movement of
cold wind there at that time, and at that time friends
have told me, “It was good if there would be hot bread
22
there. Upon hearing this Qutub, Sahib went inside the
water, and from there he began giving hot bread to the
friends. And so from that day on he became famous and
well known as Kaki.
Start of his life: He was brought upon the shadow of
protection of his parents; his father and mother were
both proud of him. They used to think blessing the house
was due to the milk feeding boy.
First shock of life: Still his age was one and a half years
old, then his father left this mortal world.
Brought up: There was all the burden to brought up by
Qutub Sahib on his mother, and she thought about his
education and training as her holy duty, and his
beginning part of the education was done by her mother.

Recitation of Bis Milla in the year 1177 A.D./573 Hijri

When Qutub Sahib was 4 years, 4 months, and 4 days old
then his mother began worrying about his ceremony of
recitation of Bill Milla. By chance in those days Hazrat
Khaja Moinuddin was staying in Owesh. He came there
by his tour and traveled to Owesh. There was fame for
23
his holiness all over Owesh City. The mother of Qutub
Sahib thought the stay of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti
in Owesh was a good for prediction for his son. She has
decided to recite his son’s Bis Milla by the holy saint of
time Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti. And she has sent
Qutub Sahib in the presence blessing of Khaja Sahib for
the recitation the recitation of Bis Milla ceremony.
Garib Nawab wanted to write on the slate of Qutub
Sahib, then he was heard an invisible call in which it was
told “Oh Khaja now stop writing as Qazi Hameed Uddin
Nagori is coming. By this time, Qazi Hameed Uddin
Nagore came there and he was asked what to write on
the slate. And Qutub Sahib told him to write “Subhan
lazi assara biebadihi lilan min masjid haram.” Qazi Sahib
was surprised to hear this and he has asked this verse in
the 15th part of the Quran. When you have read the
Quran.Qutub Sahib replied “My mother has memorized
15 parts of the Quran. Which I have memorized due to
the education of Allah in the stomach of my mother.”
Upon hearing Qazi Sahib write from "Subhan lazi assara
biebadihi lilan min masjid haram” till the end of this
verse. He has memorized the Quran to Qutub Sahib
within four days.
Admission to the school: When Qutub Sahib was five
years old then his mother wanted to admit him to the
24
school. This is an occasion of happiness. On this occasion
his mother arranged a party. And sent Qutub Sahib to
the school of the locality with some sweets and some
money and sent through by the servant. On the way one
holy person met Qutub Sahib. And the holy person has
asked the servant “Where are you taking this lucky by
eternity?" And he told him he was taking him for
admission at the school in the locality. The holy person
told him and by pressing to take him to Aba Hafaz, as he
is perfect. And the education of this boy has connection
with him in this matter.
As per the advice of the holy person Qutub Sahib went in
the presence of Aba Hafaz instead of the local school
teacher. When he was reached there then he told Aba
Hafaz “To give proper education to this boy. And from
him there are required many works to be done.”
Upon handing over the Qutub Sahib to Aba Hafaz that
holy person left from there. Upon going of the holy
person from there Aba Hafaz asked the servant
“Whether you know you who was this holy person.?”
And he told him “I do not know about him.” And Aba
Hafaz told him “He was Khaja Khizer.”
Search of the reality: Hazrat Qutub Sahib in search of
reality left his country. And he was reached in one city.

25
He was staying in that city. There was one mosque out
of the city. And there was one higher minaret in the
court yard of the mosque.
Hazrat Qutub was known to pray by performing two
rakats in the previous night and by climbing on the
minaret and that person can meet Khaja. Qutub Sahib
thought this was a good chance for him, and he
performed two rakats of prayer and recited prayers on
the minaret and got down from the minaret, and he
began waiting for Khaja khizer there. There was no one in
the mosque. And he came out of the mosque. He has
seen one holy person. That person asked Qutub Sahib
what you are doing here in the desert.?
Hazrat Qutub told him about his penetrating prayer to
meet Khaja Khizer there. Upon hearing this, the holy
person has asked, Do you want the world.? And Khaja
Qutub told “No,” then the holy person told them they
were in debit of any person. Hazrat told “No,” then that
holy person, by pressing in this matter, has asked him
why he wants to meet Khaja Khizer.? "Why are you
searching him? He is also engage in wandering
endeavors like your example.” So in this city, there is one
holy person who is engaged in the worship of Allah. He
has desired to meet him (Khaja Khizer) seven times, but
his wish was not fulfilled in this matter.
26
There was conversation there, and at that time one more
holy person came there from out of the mosque. And he
stood near the first holy person, and he caught the hand
of Hazrat Qutub, and he told the first holy person, “He
did not want the world, or he is not in debt to any
person. And he is only desire of meeting with you.”
When Qutub was hearing this, then he was very happy in
this matter and he was able to learn that the first holy
person is an invisible person, and another person is Khaja
Khizer. And by this time he has seen that both of the holy
persons were vanished from there.
Pledge in the year 1186/582 Hijri Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki
wanted to become a disciple, and at that time there was
one Mahmood Asfahani who was the complete Darwesh
person of his time. And Qutub Sahib has deep relations
and devotion with him. And he wants to pledge at his
hands. But it will happen such thing, which is desired by
Allah in this matter. And in those days, Khaja Moinuddin
Chist reached Asfahan for a tour and travel. When Khaja
Qutub was able to know, there was a desire for him to
meet. And he went in the presence of his blessing. At
that time, Khaja Ajmari was wearing Do Tai on, which he
was given to Khaja Qutub. The meaning of giving of Do
Tai is that Khaja Ajmari has accepted the pledge of Khaja
Qutub. Khaja Qutub did not tolerate separation from
27
Khaja Ajmari, so he began living in the company of Khaja
Ajmari. And also began living with him during his tour
and traveling.
Journey with spiritual mastar: Khaja Ajmari packed his
traveling bag, and he has reached Makkah to visit Kaaba
from Asfahan, and Qutub Shahib was with him. About
this journey, Khaja Qutub said that “When this well-
wisher who was with Khaja Moinuddin Chisti with his
journey to Makkah. One day in our journey, after our
morning prayer, we have reached one city. And where
we have met one holy person there. And who was in
condition in etekaf (retirement, seclusion (for devotion,
in a place of worship, especially at Mecca), to seclude
oneself in the masjid with the express intention (niyyah)
of I'tikaf, for the remembrance of Allah during Ramazan).
In one cave like dry wood by opening his eyes in the air,
and he was standing and found in the condition of
surprise. And we were with him for a period of one
month. In that period, he came in condition of
consciouness, and then we stood and said salam to him.
He replied, and he said, “Oh dears, there will be sadness
for you from this condition. But due to your sadness,
there will be salvation for you in retribution. Because
people of holy persons say that one who serves darwesh
persons will be well known. In short, he asked us to sit

28
down. Then we have sat down there. They said, “I am the
son of Shah Aslam Toi. And since 30 years, I am in a
condition of surprise. I do not have news of day or night
in this matter. For your sake, Allah brought me in
condition of conscious. There will be difficulty for you to
come here again. When you have put your step in the
way of mysticism, then due to human desires, do not pay
attention toward the world. And have retirement from
mankind. And whatever you get to spend the same. And
do not keep any amount from it as storing is not good.
And except Allah, do not engage so that you do not
become in an unwell condition. That person, upon giving
his advice, went back in his condition of surprise.
Visit of Makkah in the year 1187/583 Hijri: Hazrat
Qutub reached Makkah in 583 Hijri along with Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti and was blessed with the visit of
Kaaba.
Arrival in Baghdad in 1189/585 Hijri: From Madina along
with Khaja Moinuddin Chsiti reached Baghdad and upon
reaching there he stayed in Baghdad for some days.
Caliphate: The details of becoming a disciple and
caliphate of Hazrat Qutub areare as follows,
Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti has seen the prophet and

and went to Ghazni. With him there were his devotees
and disciples.There was a long time passed to visit his

mother there. When Khaha Moinddun came back to
Ajmare, at that time Qutub Sahib was coming back to
India. And he arrived in Multan in 1194/590 Hijri.
In those days, Multan was the center of learning and
arts, and at this place, well-known holy persons and
scholars used to live there. The people used to come
here from long-distance places for learning knowledge
and education. Baba Farid Ganj Shaker was also there in
search of education and knowledge. And he was staying
in the mosque of Mihajuddin Tirmazi in Multan.

This is an event of one day that Baba Ganj Shaker was

sitting in the direction of Qibla and he was reading one
book. And that book’s name is ‘Nafe’. When Qutub was
visiting Multan, then he went inside of that mosque, in
which Baba Farid was reading the book. And when he
was seen Qutub Sahib, he became restless. When his
look fell on the face of Hazrat Qutub, and due to the
effect of one's passion, he stood. And he has saluted and

32
paid respect to him. And Baba Sahib sat at one side in a
respectful way.
Qutub Sahib performed two rakat prayers of (prayers
with two genuflexions supereogatory prayers ) in the
mosque. Qutub Sahib asked him, "What are you
reading?” And Baba replied respectfully, book ‘Nafa’.”
Upon hearing this reply, Qutub Shahib told him by
tongue of favor, “Do you know there will be benefit from
this book?” And Baba Sahib told him in helpless

feet in this matter.” and by saying this, he has stood in

was already effected. So now it was difficult for Hazrat
Baba Sahib to leave from the company of Qutub Sahib.
Always he began living in his company. And there was
much devotion of the Baba Sahib to the Qutub Sahib.
Qutub Sahib, after living some days in Multan, left for
Delhi. But Baba Sahib wants to go to Delhi along with
Qutub Sahib. But Qutub Sahib insinuated for completion

Sahib up to his third destination, and from there he was

days in Delhi. Upon receiving the order of his spiritual
order, he went to Khandhar. And for obtaining

manifest, he went to Iraq, Khurasan, and Mavarla Nahar,
and by visiting Makkah and Madina and visiting holy
persons, and by getting spiritual favors from them, he
came back in the presence of the blessing of his spiritual
master.
Hazrat Qutub Sahib was happy upon the arrival of Baba
Farid Ganj Shaker in Delhi. Baba Sahib began living in one
room near Ghazni Gate in Delhi. He was engaged in
worship, endeavors, and mystical exercises as per the
order of the spiritual master. And in those days, Baba

Hazrat Baba Farid still uses to engage in mystical
exercises and endeavors. And during this period, Hazrat
Moinuddin Chisti came over to Delhi. And he stayed in
the shrine building of Hazrat Qutub in Delhi. The stay of
Khaja Gharib Nawaz in Delhi was a blessing to the people
of Delhi. And now spring of spiritual favor, which was
near to them. And there was a raining of knowledge. And
there was distribution of all kinds of wealth there. And
everybody was desiring to fill the edge of the shirt of his
desires. And there was the luck and fate of everybody, as
well as according to his edge of the shirt in this matter.
For such time in the share of Qutub Sahib, there was
such grace and wealth for which he can be proud, which
will be less for him.
Hazrat Qutub Sahib has presented all his disciples in the
presence of Khaja Monuddin. Each and everybody who
was blessed by favor of Khaja Moinuddin as per his
eligibility and capacity in this matter.
When Khaja Mounuddin has distributed his wealth of
knowledge as per his will and wish, then he himself asked

35
with Qutub Sahib, “Is any disciple left for getting favor
from his side?”
Qutub Shahib said, “Masood left as he is sitting in ch, also
known as Chilla-nashini, is a spiritual practice of penance
and solitude in Sufism known mostly in Indian and
Persian traditions.
Chilla (retreat) :Upon hearing this, Khaja Gharib stood,
and he told Qutub Sahib, “Come on, let us see him.”
Hazrat Gharib Nawaz and Qutub Sahib went there where
Baba Farid was sitting in Chilla. And upon reaching there,
he was opened to the door of the room where Baba
Sahib was sitting. He had become so weak that he could
not stand to give respect to Hazrat Ghariz Nawaz. And
with tears in his eyes, he has put his head on the earth.
Upon seeing this condition, Hazrat Gharib Nawaz said,
“Oh Qutub, till how long you will suffer him in the
endeavors come on so that we can give him something.”
Upon saying this Hazrt Gharib Nawaz caught his right
hand and Qutub Sahib caught his left hand. And in this
way both of the holy person have stood him.Khaja Gharib
Nawaz looked at the sky and prayed in the court of Allah
for Baba Farid. Khaja Gharib said, “Oh, Allah, accept our
Farid. And reach to the perfect status.”

were removed, and Khaja Gharib was awarded Baba
Farid robe of honour.

was given him a turban, shawl, and other items of the
caliphate.

Gharib Nawaz has made a prediction, and he was

Sahib to come to Ajmare. And he personally went to
Delhi. He stayed in the shrine building of Hazrat Qutub
Sahib. And was blessed with honor, and he stayed in
Delhi for some days, and upon the distribution of wealth
of knowledge in Delhi, Khaja Gharib Nawaz went back to
Ajmare.
His arrival to Delhi second time in 621 Hijri/1224
This time Khaja Gharib Nawaz came to Delhi without
informing Hazrat Qutub Sahib. And so, for this reason,
he was much surprised in this matter.
This time he came to Delhi for the recognition of the
farmer and to write off the land revenue of Mandan
village for his son Fakheruddin.
When Qutub Sahib was aware of this, he went in the
presence of King Altamash, and he was done settling
the case of Farmar in the farmer’s favor. He obtained an
order of write-off of the land revenue of the village
Mandan in favor of his son Khaja Fakheruddin.

42
Enmity: Shaikh Najam Uddin Suqra was a Shaikh of
Islam in Delhi. And he has had good relations with Khaja
Gharib Nawaz for a long time. He was met with him in
Khursan. In Delhi, all people came to meet with Khaja
Gharib Nawaz, but Najmuddin Sugra did not come to
meet with him. Khaja Gharib Nawaz was surprised in
this matter. So he went to meet him at his house.
At that time he was watching making of the soofa for
him. He has not paid attention toward Khaja Gharib
Nawaz. Due to the treatment of the ignorence, there
was shock to Khaja Gharib Nawaz.
He was told to Najamuddin Sugra “Oh Najamuddin,
what came difficulty upon you so in the n of the Shaikh
of Islam you have left the humanity and old relations
and contacts as well as old wd suddenly left.
Upon hearing this, he regretted much in this matter and
he has put his head upon the feet of the Khaja Sahib.
And he was told him that in the enmity and hatred in
which he was sincere as before, he is now in the same
position with him.
But Qubuddin spoiled my position very much in this
matter. When he came here, becoming your disciple
since that time. All mankind is following him. I have
become a Shaikh of Islam in Delhi in name only. Nobody
43
is following me. In this matter, there is a complaint with
Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin Chisti that “He has left his
disciple here. All mankind of Dehli is living at his door.
And nobody did not remember him like Green Leaf in
this matter, and nobody followed me.”
Departure to Ajmare: Upon hearing this, Khaja
Moinuddin smiled, and he told Najam Uddin Sugra,
“You don't worry in this matter. The heavy weight upon
your heart and to him he is taking with him to Ajmare.”
At the time of departure to Ajmare, Khaja Mounuddin
told Hazrat Qutub “Baba Qutub, you also accompany
with me to the Ajmare journey as some persons are
angry with you.”
Khaja Moinuddin Chisti at the time of his departure to
Ajmare took Hazrat Qutub with him, and Qutub was left
Delhi in the company of his spiritual master.
And this news spread in the whole city of Delhi. So for
this reason, all people followed him in his journey. As
Qutub Sahib was so much popular in Delhi that nobody
did not like his separation in this matter. When this news
was reached to Sultan Altamash, then he went in the
presence of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti, and he told him,
“Sir, do not take Hazrat Qutub from Delhi to Ajmare and
allow him to live here. Hazrat Khaja Sahib did not like to
44
hurt the hearts of the people. When he has seen that due
to the departure of Hazrat Qutub, people of Delhi are
sad, then he told Qutub Sahib, "Baba Qutub, you live
here. For your going people of the city are in uneasiness.
I do not want to hurt the hearts by the fire of separatism
of a large number of the people and make them Kabab in
this matter. I have left this city in your support.”
As per the order of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti Hazrat
Qutub Uddin, he came back and began living in Delhi.
Fondness of kissing his feet: After living some days in
Delhi, Hazrat Qutub became restless to kissing the feet of
his spiritual master. He has sent his request in his
presence to visit him in Ajmare. And he has received a
reply from his spiritual master in this matter in which he
has mentioned that there was my intention to call you
here, but during this time there was received your letter,
and you should have to come here as soon as possible,
and this our meeting will be our last meeting in the
world.”
In the presence of the spiritual master, Qutub Sahib,
upon receiving this reply, and went toward Ajmare. And
upon reaching Ajmare, he was blessed with a meeting of
his spiritual master. And he began living of blessed

45
presence. The details of the last meeting are written by
Khaja Qutub as follows.
“Upon saying this, Khaja Moinuddin Chisti began
weeping. Khaja Sahib said, “Oh, Darwesh, the reason for
which I was sent to this land is that there will be found
his grave at this place and in a few days we will travel.”
Handing over of relics: In this meeting, Hazrat Khaja
Mounuddin Chisti began issuing orders, which Hazrat
Qutub began writing as follows.
Shaikh Ali Sanjri was present there. He was given an
order to him to write the orders. There should be given
to our Qutub Shaikh Bakhtiar Kaki that he should go to
Delhi. We have given him caliphate. And we suggest he
stay in Delhi. And when the order was written, it was
given to this well wisher. I have paid the respect. There
was an order to come near me. And I went near to him.
He has put a turban and cap on my head by his holy
hands. There was given staff and saintly dress of Khaja
Haruni to me. Also given the Quran and prayer carpet. He
said this holy entrusted thing of the holy prophet of
Allah. And which was reached to us through shaikhs of
the chist chain. I am giving you. It is a must for you that,
as we have kept all these things, you must also take care
in this matter. So that there should be no regret to me on

46
the day of the judgment in this matter. Hazrat Qutub
mentioned that after this well wisher again paid respect
and performed two rakat prayers of thanks.
He said to go and I have given you status of respect
and saintliness.
Advice of spiritual master :The spiritual master of Qutub
Sahib, Khaja Gharib Nawaz adviced him and in which
there are four things are very good among them. And
upon acting them then there will be good and blessing.
The four things are as follows.
1.There should be such darweshi from which there
should be shown richness.
2.To fill stomach of hungry persons.
3.To be pretend happiness in case of sadness.
4.If any person have behavior of enmity then in its reply,
show his friendship.
Pray of the spiritual master: This is the event of the last
meeting. Khaja Gharib Nawaz told Qutub Sahib to come,
and Qutub Sahib went forward and kissed his feet. And
Khaja sahib, upon recitation of Fatah, he told, “Don't
become sad and become a man”

47
Retrun from Ajmare:Qutub Sahib by saying good bye to
his spiritual master and come back to Delhi. And he lived
in Delhi. And spent his remaining life in Delhi.
Great shock: 20 days upon departure of Qutub Sahib
from Ajmaore Khaja Gharib, Nawaz left this mortal world.
His dream: When he received news of the death of
Khawaja Gharib Nawaz, he slept on the prayer mat after
prayer in sadness and grief. He was seen his spiritual
master in his dream. And he kissed the feet of his
spiritual and asked him details. And he said, “Allah has
given him blessed with special grace. Near the place of
the angel and residents of the sky there was allotted his
place and I am at this place.”
Wives and sons: His first marriage was done in his native
place Awash. His mother was done marrying him with
one woman, and after three days, Khaja Qutub divorced
her. And due to this marriage, there was disturbance of
his daily recitals. And he did not like this matter.
There was daily recitation blessing on the prophet of
Khaja Qutub Sahib that before his sleep he used to recite
blessing upon the holy prophet 3,000 times. And after
marriage, he could not recite blessings for three days.

48
 On the third day, his one disciple, Rais Ahmed, who has
seen in a dream that there is a grand palace and there
are many of the people, and one person whose face is
visible light, is coming and going inside the palace by
taking messages of the persons inside and coming back
from the replies from inside.
Rais Ahmed, upon hearing this, went to Adulla bin
Masood. And requested him to pass his message to the
prophet that he is fondness to look the sight of him.
Abdulla Masood took the message and went in to the
palace. And brought the message from inside that still
that person is not having eligibility and suitability of his
look in this matter. Convery my salam to Qutubuddin
Oushi. And tell from his side that there will be sent by
him his gift every night to me, but what is the reason in
this matter why he has not sent it to him since three
nights?”
When Rais Ahmed was woken up, he was eager to pass
the message of the prophet. He went in the presence of
Khaja Qutubuddin and explained to him his dream. When
he heard the message of the prophet, then he stood, and
he asked Rais Ahmad what he had told.? Rais Ahmed told
him, “The gift that you used to send to me, why are you
not sending it since three nights?”

49
Hazrat Qutub Sahib understands well what the meaning
of gift is in this matter. Due to his marriage, the sending
of the blessing recital was stopped for 3 nights in this
matter.
Khaja Sahib, with which he has married the woman
called her, was given her mahar (In Islam, mahr is a
mandatory payment or gift that the groom makes to the
bride as part of the marriage contract. It's a sign of
respect for the bride and recognition of her
independence. The bride receives the mahr as a right,
and can spend it as she wishes) amount, and was given
divorce to that woman. Then he was engaged in his
recital, and after that, he did not marry again for a long
period of time.
Second marriage: He was married a second time upon
his residing in Delhi. And this marriage he was done in
the last part of his life. There were born two boys to
him.1.Ahmed 2.Shaikh Mohammed. And he died when
he was seven years old. Upon his death, when there was
a weeping sound from his wife, he asked Shaikh
Baderuddin why there was a weeping sound coming
from our house.? And he told him that his son Shaikh
Mohammed left this world. And his mother is weeping.”

50
Upon hearing this Qutub, Shahib said that he “regrets
that there was no news to him. If he would know in this
matter, then he will ask the life of Shaikh Mohammed
from Allah.
Upon consoling his wife, he was engaged in the
revelation again in this matter. His race continued with
his elder son Khaja Ahmed, and he was well known as
Ahmed Tamachi. And he was a great holy person.
Burial place: Before death, on the occasion of Eid, while
returning from there, he went to one uninhabited and
deserted place, and this is the place where his tomb is
situated in Delhi. At that place he was engaged in
thinking for time, so the companions who were with him
have asked him, “Hazar, what are you thinking in this
matter.? And he said, “From this land I can smell the
hearts of the people. Present owner of the land. The
landowner came there, and he purchased the land from
his special personal purse. He considered this land for his
grave and pure tomb in this matter.
Excellance of burial place: The land where there is a
grave of Khutub Sahib is found has special excellence in
this matter. Once the throne of Prophet Sulaiman was
reached there by flying, where there is the grave of
Khutub Sahib. He was surprised to see that there is light

51
from earth to the sky. And angels were brining trays of
lights from the sky and putting on the earth.Hazrat
Sulaiman has asked for this beautiful place and of house
that belong to whomever the holy person's residence or
burial place is. The angels told him, "This place of
residence and burial belongs to Allah’s beloved person of
Allah, Hazrat Khaja Qutubuddin, among the nation of the
last prophet of Allah, Mohammed, peace be upon him
and he will be taking his final resting place in this matter.
Last days: One day there was a meeting of ecstasy in the
shrine building of Shaikh Ali Sanjari. The holy person of
condition and perfect were present in the meeting
place.Hazrat Qutub was also present in the meeting
place. The choristers were singing the following couplet.

Where can you see the love of your sight?

Where did you get rid of the package?
There was prevailed rapture upon Qutub Sahib. And the
choristers wer repeated singing this couplet for some
time. And after that, the choristers began singing the ode
of Ahmed Jam. when Slahuddin and his sons karim Uddin
and nasir Uddin began when recited following couplet.
Kill the surrender dagger.
Any time is absent from another life.
52
So for this reason, it prevailed upon Hazrat Khutub Sahib
as such rapture that he became unconscious. Qazi
Hameed Uddin Nagori and Shaikh Baderuddin Ghazni,
who have asked poets to repeat in such condition the
couplets at that place. So then there will be prevailed
ondition of rapture upon Qutub Sahib in this matter. For
a period of four days, such conditions prevailed upon
him. Hazrat used to become unconscious, and he will
become normal at the time of prayer, and he will
perform the prayer, and then there will be a prevail
condition of rapure upon him.
On the third day contanly began from his mouth and
there will be heard the recitation by the personality of
Allah in this matter. And constantly began falling of the
drops of blood on the earth, and from that blood there
will be formed painting of Allah. And from that lovely
decoration there will be heard sound of Allah. And on the
next day, there will be a constant sound of ‘Subhan Allah’
from his mouth. And drop blood, which will be formed on
the earh of decoration of ‘subhan Allah’.
The singing of the choristers were continued when they
sang the first couplet, then Khaja Sahib’s soul would
disappear from his body. And when they sing the other

53
couplet, then his soul will come back in his body when
Hazrat wants to cry of pain or wants to make a slogan.
Then Qazi Hameeduddin Nagore will close his mouth.
And used to say to him “Whether you want to burn the
whole world in this matter.” His mouth was closed in this
matter, but his body was burned down. Upon seeing his
pulse beating, Hakeem Shamsuddin said, “This is a case
of illness of love. The fire of love, which burned down the
heart and liver of him completely. And now there is no
way to cure him.”
Upon him on the 10th Rabbil awwal, there was prevailed
such condition. And for four days and nights there was
such contempt upon him. In the fith night when the
repeatation of first couplet, then at that time Hazrat

Baba Farid found relics of his spiritual master: By living
in the company of his spiritual master, Baba Farid found
spiritual favors and blessings.
This is the event of one day that Baba Farid, who was in
the presence of his spiritual master, Hazrat Qutubuddin.
Suddenly he stood and asked his permission to leave for
Hansi. Hazrat Qutub has much love and affection for
Baba Farid. There came tears in his eyes, and he said,
“Oh Farid, but you go.” Hazrat Baba Farid told him, "He
will do as per his order.” Hazrat Qutub told him: "Go
what I can go do in this matter. There is willinigness of
nature in this matter that you will not find at the time of
my death. I was also not present at the time of the death
of Khaja Moinuddin.”
Hazrat Qutub told as such, and then he lowered his head
in strange thinking in this matter. Then he raised his head
and told the audience, “Come on, we all together pray
for this darwesh’s progress of grace of both worlds and
firmness and recite verse Fataha and verse Akhlas. All
were recited verses Fataha and Akhlas. Hazrat Qutub
Sahib also recited verse Fataha and verse Akhlas and
prayed for the well-being of Baba Farid. And he said,
“May Allah add you among great shaikhs and reach you
in the category of the persons of contnent.” Then he has
given his special prayer mat and staff to him. And told
57
him, "I will give you a prayer carpet, saintly dress,
tarband, and sandals that were reached to me by the
hand of holy saints of Christ, which I will give to Qazi
Hameed Uddin Nagori, and when you will come to my
grave from Hansi on the fith day of my death, and who
will hand over these things to you there and wear your
saintly dress?. Think of my place as your place in this
matter. You will sit at this place with fondness and
comfort. And give guidance in the right way and from
your favor, give benefit to general and special persons.
When Hazrat Qutub Shahib finished his conversation,
there was a loud and crying in the meeting place. And
people of the meeting began weeping. All were prayed
for the well-being of Baba Farid Ganj Shaker.
Advice: in the meeting place in which Hazrat Qutub died,
and in that meeting he was given his final advice to Qazi
Hameed Uddin Nagori and Hazrat Baderuddin Ghaznavi
to hand over relics that are with them of holy saints of
Chist to Baba Farid when he will come on my grave upon
my death. And pass Baba Faird’s entrusted thing to him
with much respect. And wear his saintly dress to him.
Hazrat Qutub has shown relics special saintly dress, staff,
wooden sandals, double needles in the meeting to Qazi
Hameeduddin Nagori and Baderuddin Ghazni.

58
Dream: in the night when Hazrat Qutub left this mortal
world, and in that night, Baba Faird has seen a dream
that Hazrat Qutub is calling him.
This dream was an engouh sign for him, and he was able
to understand that Qutub Sahib left the mortal world. He
was in great difficulty and in worry condition and in
surprise, Hazrat Nizmuddin left from Hansi to Delhi. And
there was running a river of tears from his eyes.On the
other side, Qazi Hameed Uddin Nagori has sent
messenger on the morning to bring Hazrat Nizmuddin to
Delhi from Hansi, and who has given a letter to him in
which there was news of the death of Hazrat Qutub.
Hazrat Baba Faird was reached to Delhi on the fourth
day. And on the fifth day he has visited the tomb of light
of Qutub Sahib.
Hazrat Qazi, Hameed Uddin Nagori, and Hazrat
Baderuddin Ghazni, as per the order of Hazrat Qutub,
have surrendered all relics to Baba Farid.
Hazrat Baba Farid has worn the saianlty dress of his
spiritual master. And prayed two rakat on that prayer
mat. And he has stayed in the house of Shaik Qutub.
Upon living some days in Delhi, Baba Farid returned back
to Hansi. He said, “The grace which Allah has given him

59
and which will be with me whether I live in the city or the
jungle."
Pure biography: Hazrat Qutub Uddin Bakhtiar Kaki. He is
deputy of the prophet of Allah in India. He is the
successor and first caliph of Hazrat Khaja Moinuddin
Chisti and Qutub
(Qutb, Qutub, Kutb, Kutub or Kotb (Arabic: ‫ )قطب‬means
'axis', 'pivot' or 'pole'. Qutb can refer to celestial
movements and be used as an astronomical term or a
spiritual symbol. In Sufism, a Qutb is the perfect human
being, al-Insān al-Kāmil ('The Universal Man'), who leads
the saintly hierarchy. The Qutb is the Sufi spiritual leader
who has a divine connection with God and passes
knowledge on which makes him central to, or the axis of,
Sufism, but he is unknown to the world. There are five
Qutbs per era, and they are infallible and trusted spiritual
leaders. They are only revealed to a select group of
mystics because there is a "human need for direct
knowledge of God".) of shaikhs. Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Haq
Muhadit Dehlavi was written about him as follows.
“He is among the great holy persons of Allah. As well as
glorious Sufi personalties.” There is no doubt and
suspicsion about his greatness and eliteness. As well as
there is no difference in this matter.”

60
“All shaikhs of his time who were his devotees and who
were among his circle. And all were people of dignity
and holders of great status and ranks. His prayers will be
accepted by Allah. Whatever he will say by him, which
will happen like that in this matter. The person who will
live in his company will then become a personality of
saintliness. When he will look at any person, then that
person can observe things from empyrean to neither
region.
Worship: He will find much fondness in the worship. He
was a Quran-conner, and Hazrat Qutub used to finish one
Quran on a daily basis. He used to engage in the worship
by hiding from the people.He will always be punctual and
altert for the five daily congratual prayers. And in
addition to this, Hazrat Qutub used to perform 300 Nafil
(What are Nafl Prayers? Nafl prayers or not obligatory
prayers, as the nafl means extra, which is not obligatory
but voluntary or optional. If you pray the nafl Namaz, you
will get extra reward from Allah, but if you don't pray,
that doesn't mean you are sinful because it's optional.)
rakats of prayers daily. At the time of sleeping, Hazrat
used to recite a 3,000-time blessing on the prophet.
Loneliness: Hazrat Qutub used to like loneliness and
isolation. His has the habit of less eating, less sleeping,

61
and less talking, and he was connected with the creator
and kept away from mankind.
Hazrat Gesu Daraz has written about him that “He used
to find always silence, and Hazrat used to pass much of
his time weeping and wailing. And he used to live alone
in the room by closing the door. And live away from the
people.
Shaikh Noor Baksh has written about him that “Hazrat
Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki was among mystic initiates,
and asectics and Mujahid. (Original meaning: In Arabic,
the word "mujahideen" means "strivers" seeking godly
rule or right conduct. Jihads originally included "right
conduct," such as giving money to the poor.
And used to live in loneliness and alone life. He used to
eat less, sleep less, and talk less. He was used to
engrossed in the worship in the hidden way. He will try
to hide his condition and his works.”
Night awakening: In the beginning of life, he used to
sleep in the night for some time and take some rest for
some time, but in the last period of life, he has left night
sleep and rest. Hazrat used to keep awakening in the
night and engaged in recitation of the holy Quran and
remembrance of the Zikr Jali (Zikr recited aloud) and

62
Zikr Khafi ( Zikr Khafi, that which is performed either with
a low voice or mentally.).
Poverty and hunger: Qutub Shahib was proud of his
poverty and hunger. His life will be passed by severity
and tightness. There will always be no food for his family
members, and his people who are attached to him will
usually be facing hunger. But they will not disclose that
there will be hunger in the house. In the conditions of
poverty and hunger, they will not leave the edge of the
shirts of patience and thankfulness. In the beginning of
his life, there was not a piece of cloth spread in his house
for serving dishes in, plates, and cups.
Refuse to accept presents: Hazrat did not accept
presents, and there is an event of one day that King
Altamesh has sent in his presence some rupees and gold
coins. And he has requested him to accept his present,
but Hazrat did not accept.
Following of the great spiritual masters: Qutub Sahib
used to think following of the great spiritual masters as
proud and slavation for him. And in this matter he used
to engage in severe endeavors. This is an event of time
that the minister of King Altamesh came in his presence
and gave him an order of allotment papers for six
villages and one tray full of gold coins, and the minister

63
told him that there is a desire of KingKing Altamesh that
you accept it. it. This is for your servants and sincere
persons. And at that time, Baba Farid was also present
there.
Hazrat Qutub smailed and said, “My spiritual masters did
not accept such things. And I also did not accept. Today
if I will not follow them and accept villages and gold
coins, then how will I face my spiritual masters at the day
of judgement? And how I will be entered in the category
of them.”
Engagement: Hazrat Qutub used to be engaged day and
night in engagement. At the time, prayer will open his
eyes and he will have taken a bath with fresh abulution
and performed the prayer. The condition of his
engrossment was such that when any person came to
visit him, he would used to wait in this matter. And upon
informing him, he will come back in normal condition.
The condition of his intoxication and ecstasy was such
that one time he was in such a condition of surprise for
seven days and nights. And he will become normal after
prayer.
Trust in Allah: Hazrat used to be kept away from
mankind. Baba Faird has said that “Hazrat Qutub’s trust
in Allah was real trust.” He lived in the turst of Allah for a

64
period of 20 years. And he did not keep relations with
anybody. The system of expenses of the kitchen was run
as such that when there will be a requirement, a servant
will come in his presence, and Hazrat will give him a sign
to take money as per his requirement. When there will
be a requirement of Sufi persons, then he will take
money under his prayer mat and give it to the servants.
And for daily expenses, all this money will be spent. No
needy or traveler did not go empty handed from his
door.
Keeping hidden his condition: Hazrat Qutub Sahib did
not used to know his condition from other persons.
Asetic, mystical exercise, worship, and endeavors, which
he used to hide. And used to advise this to his disciples.
One time Baba Faird asked his permission for Chilla
Kashi.Kashi. Chilla (Persian: ‫چله‬, Arabic: ‫أربعين‬, both
literally "forty"), also known as Chilla-nashini, is a
spiritual practice of penance and solitude
in Sufism known mostly in Indian and Persian ritual,
traditions. In this ritual, a mendicant or ascetic attempts
to remain seated in a circle practicing meditation
techniques without food for 40 days and nights in
imitation of the Arba'een, and he was not given his
permission and told him, “There is no need forfor it.
Because by such matters there will be name and fame.

65
And for fakirs, name and fame are problems for
them,them, and among ourpeers, they peers, they did
not have done such things.”
Fondness of the Sama meetings: Qutub has much
interest and fondness. And from Sama his nature will not
be satisfied. And in Sama there will be a prevailing
condition of ecstasy, then he will stand and begin
dancing in the courtyard. But at that time of prayer he
will come back in normal condition and he will perform
prayer, and then there will prevail the same condition
upon him.
This is an event of one day that there was progress of the
sama meeting and Hazrat Qutub Sahib was present in
the meeting. When chorisstors were singing the one
couplet in the Persian language.
And upon hearing this couplet there was a prevailed
condition of rapture. And he was unconscious for a
period of seven days and at the time of prayer he will
become in a normal condition and used to perform the
prayer.
His fondness of knowledge: Hazrat Qutubuddin Bakhtiar
Kaki was also a great author of his time as well as a poet.

66
Dalail Arifeen: And in this book he has recorded
Malfuazat ( The Malfuzat records the teachings of mystic
or Sufi saints and of the pirs and the sheikhs.) of his
spiritual master.
Zubadal Haqaiq: this bookbook is not published.
Risala:Risala: He has compiled this Risala.
Mathnavi: There is one Mathnavi (a kind of poem written
in rhyming couplets, or more specifically a poem based
on independent, internally rhyming lines.) book
connection with him.
Diwan (poetry) A Diwan (Persian: ‫دیوان‬, divân, Arabic:
‫ديوان‬, dīwān) is a collection of poems by one author,
usually excluding his or her long poems (mathnawī).
There is one Diwan in Persian that that is published. And
in this book it is mentioned as Qutub al-deen or Qutub
Deen. And in his poetry he has mentioned the truth,
MONOTHEISM, (TOWHID) and knowledge, reality and
Ma'rifa is a central tenet of Sufism that embodies the
notions of "gnosis" or "experiential knowledge. It is
considered the ultimate pinnacle of the spiritual path.
His teachings: In the teachings of Hazrat Qutub, there is a
solution to the problems of the present time. His
Malfuzat of blessings was collected by his first caliph and
67
disciple, Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya, who complied in the
book ‘Fawad Salikin’ from the meetings of his spiritual
master. And from following there will be known Hazrat’s
teachings, importance, and benefits in this matter.
The duty of the spiritual master: The spiritual master has
such power and checking authority with him that when a
disciple will present in his presence for becoming his
disciple, then by his first look to take out the filth of the
world from his chest for all reasons and clear it, there will
be no ill-will and clour of the likeness of the world. And
blessed him by his pledge. And bring toward Allah. If
there will be no power in the spiritual master, then
understand that both the spiritual master and disciples
are both in the deserts of ignorence in this matter.
Custodian of the shrine building: Hazrat Qutub Sahib has
mentioned a meeting of Hazrat Shibli with his meeting of
custodian of the shrine building and his specificity in the
following words in this matter.
“Oh, Shibli, the person who sits on the seat of custodian,
then he should have power with him to hold the hand of
the other person, then he should have power with him,
and the person of power should make him custodian of
the shirne building in this matter to the person who
holds his hand.”

68
Perfection of the person: Hazrat Qutub Sahib has
written, “The persons of mysticism who have written that
the perfection of the person will depend on four things.
By less sleeping, less talking, less eating, and to have less
company with mankind. So he never gets gem of the
Darweshi. The group of Danish persons is such a group
that who made sleeping illegal for them. And company of
mankind is worse than snake.
Filth of the world: Hazrat Qutub told Baba Faird, "Oh,
Darwesh Prophet Jesus, who was perfect in Tajrid and
tafrid are both Islamic concepts that relate to isolation
and separation. When he was taken to the sky, then
there was a call that he should be kept alone. As filth of
the world is with him. Prophet Jesus was surprised in this
matter and he has seen saintly dress of the world. And
he has found in his saintly dress one needle and wodden
bowl. He has asked Allah “What he will do with these
things.” And there was revelation to throw them. Then
he was removed these things, and he was brought to
pass to the sky. Upon saying this event, he said “Oh,
darwesh, when there will be such low and small things,
when there will arise objection to such a great prophet of
Allah, so there is regret to such a holy person who is
effected full in the world.”

69
Taslim and Reda ( the fact of being pleased or contented;
contentment ). Hazrat Qutb said, “When upon the throat
of Hazrat prophet Yahiah has put a knife and began
cutting his neck, then he wants to cry with pain and
request in this matter. And at the time angel Gabriel
came there, he said, “He says if you cry or complain, then
your name will be removed from Jarida (Periodical) of
the prophets. Hazrat Yahiah upon hearing this order of
Allah, and he did not do anything, and with patience, he
was given his life.
Event of Hazrat Zakeria: Hazrat Qutub then he has told
event of Hazrat Zakeria that “When there was saw put
on holy head and then it began cutting him and he also
want to cry due to pain. Then at the time angel Gabriel
came there, he said, “AllaH says if you cry or make
complain, then your name will be removed from Jaridi
(Periodcal) of the prophets. Upon hearing this order of
Allah, he did not do anything, and with patience, he was
given his life. And his body was cut into two pieces.
The method of Rabia Basri: Hazrat has said that “There
was a method with Rabia Basri that upon the day when
there will be a prevailed problem upon her, then she will
become happy in this matter and she used to say that
friend has kept him remembering her in this matter. On
the day when there will be no prevail probem, then she
70
says in this matter and will be much sad and says what
the reason is that the friend did not remind her.”
The devotion of the disciples: The discussion about
devotion of the disciples was started, and Khutub Sahib
said, “In Baghdad, one Darwesh was arrested for some
crime and was presented before Qazi (the judge), who
investigated the matter and was given the order to kill
him. And the prosecutor took him, killing him, and as per
order, put him stand in the direction of Qibla (the
direction of Mecca, to which Muslims turn in prayer,
indicated in mosques by a niche (mihrab) in the wall.) as
per rules and wanted to kill him. Darwesh turned his face
from Qibla toward the grave of his spiritual master. And
the executor told him to turn his face toward Qibla at the
time of death. Darwesh told him, “You do your work, and
I have to turn my face toward my Qibla. And both were
in such confusion, and then at that time there came an
order of the caliph of Baghdad that “We have pardoned
the mistake of the Darwesj, and it is compulsory for him
to be released.” Upon discussing this event, Khaja Sahib
said that “To see that due to his good of devotion,
Darwesh did not killing in this matter.”
Takbir: One day there was discussion about Tabkir (The
Takbir is the name of the Arabic phrase Allāhu ʾakbar,
which means "God is greater than everything". It is a key
71
part of the Islamic faith and is used in many ways,
including ) and why Darwesh used to say Takbir in lanes
and localities. Hazrat Qutub said that “It is not written
that to say Takbir in each and every lane and locality. And
this is not a pious method. But in the Hadith (sayings of
prophet), it is mentioned that by saying Takbir for thanks,
there will be an increase in grace. And afterward he said,
“The meaning of Kakir is Hamad (praise of God), and for
thanks of grace we have to do Hamad.”
Special persons of Allah: He said there are special
persons of Allah, and when they will be at their place,
then order will be given by Allah to Kaaba to go to their
places so that they can circumulate there.”
Response of the food: This is an event of one day that
food was brought before Khaja Sahib there and still
meeting was not finished at all. He started eating food
there. By this time, Shaikh Nizmuddin Abu Moid had
come there and said to salam. But Hazrat did not pay
attention in this matter and did not reply to his salam.
When Hazrat has finished eating food, at that time
Shaikh Nizmuddin Abu Mohammad complained to him in
this matter and Hazrat Qutubuddin has replied that “I
was engaged in obedience and so how could I reply to
you? As Darwesh used to eat for the power of worship,
and when there is such intention, then he is in worship.
72
And at the time there will be no reply. So it is compulsory
that when somebody is eating food, he should not be
said salam to
him, and upon finishing eating, salam should be said to
him.”
Higher grade sayings: Some of the sayings of Hazarat
Qutub are presented as follows.
Arif (mystic person) is such a person on whose hearts
there will prevail strang thoughts at each and every
second and minute. And he should be engrossed in the
world of rapture.If in his chest there will be enter time
and space and the world and whatever it contains, then
he should not know about its entry.
Arif is such a person upon him there will be prevail on
each and every time many thousand of secrets, then he
will be live in such engrossment that if there will be
entrants and go out 18000 worlds enter in his chest,
then he does not know in this matter.
Mystic way: On the mystic way, Darweshi is another
thing. And keeping things is different. On the mystic way,
there is required great courage so that there will be
firmness of the secrets and they will not be known. As
secret is eminent of the friend.

73
Sultan of the Mystic Way is such a person who is
drowning in the river of love of the friend from head to
toe. And there is no time upon him then there will be no
rain of love of the world be fall upon his head.
Salik (deovtee): For Salik, there is no greater veil for him
than the world.
Love: One who claims the love and complains at the time
of difficulty, then he is not true in his love. But he is false
and untrue.
Kamil (perfect): That person is perfect who does not leak
the secret of the friend.
Kamil Akmal (perefect): Who were such persons, and
from them there were no leaks of the secret of the friend
at any condition, and they were able to know other
secrets.
*Darwesh is such a person who, upon travel, will pass
many thousand countries by walking by his feet and he
will keeping his feet put forward.
*In Darwesh’s one pharase there will be fire and in
another there will be water.
*When Darwesh will be perfect, then whatever he gives
his order will happen.
74
*Darwesh will not get a place of nearness until and
unless he will be keep away from unknown from known
things and follow isolation and keep away from filth of
the world.
*The Darwesh who wears good dress to show the world
is not darwesh. But this is robbery on the way of
mysticism.
*The darwesh who eats full of stomach for sinsual desire,
and he is not a darwesh.
*The Darwesh live un-married so for this there will be
progress of his status.
*The darwesh’s hunger is an option for himself.
*Allah has kept all his kingdom under the authority of
Darwesh.
*It is a must for Darwesh that he should live in the
condition of isolation and pass every day from country
and make progress in this matter.
*Darweshi is not comfort, but it is living in the condition
of troubles of the world.
*In Darweshi, the most difficult work is to live in the
condition of fasting during the night so that he can get a

75
rise in the status, and there is no such other grace that is
superior to Darweshi.
* There is required such power in the Peer of the
Darwesh that he should clear the darkness of the heart
of the disciple with his power of the innermost and reach
him toward Allah.
*The disciple should live in the same condition of
presence and in absence of the spiritual master. When a
spiritual master leaves the world, then there should be
more respect for his spiritual master.
*If he would not get the presence of his spiritual master
and there is a mistake in repentance, then put his dress
before him and pledge in this matter.
Sama (ecstasy meeting): There is no such comfort in the
Sama meeting that is not found in other things, and that
is such a condition, which is not found without a Sama
meeting.
*Prophets are innocent, and the holy persons are
secured. And in the condition of rapture, there will not
be done by them any work that is against Islamic law
(Shariah).
*Good dead: One who has reached a place of reality due
to good deads.
76
*Fear of Allah: The flog of fear of Allah is for the warning
of the person and when it will enter the heart, then it will
become shattered into pieces.
*Manners of Meeting: When a person enters a meeting
place, he should sit at the place that is found empty
there.
*Revelation and miracles: in reality, that person is a
courageous one who will not show his status in the
revelation and miracles so that he can get position in the
mysticism.
*By disclosing the status of revelation and miracles, one
will be deprived of the other remaining position in this
matter.
* The matter which will not be known by wisdom and
there is no reach of wisdom into it that is called miracle.
Elixir: The saying of holy persons is having effects of
elixir.
Daily recitals and wazifa (A wazifa is a regular litany of
Quranic verses, hadiths, and Duas practiced by followers
of Sufism. The word wazifa comes from Arabic and its
plural form is wazaïf.): in the following are mentioned
some recitals and wazaif that are shown by Hazrat Qutub
Sahib.
77
To fulfill desire and wishes: To fulfill desire and wishes,
we should have read verse Baqra.
Hazrat Baba Farid has said that there was some desire of
Hazrat Qutub Sahib with Allah. He began reading verse
baqra.Still, it was over one day. And he did not complete
his prayer, and by this time his desires and wishes were
completed in this matter.
For memorization of the holy Quran, reading the verse
Yousuf is good.
The reward of the haj pilgrimage: One who performs 2
rakats of prayer in the beginning of the month Zil Haj as
follows.
That in first rakat after verse Fataha read from verse
Enam from “Alhamad lilah lazi khalq samwat from here
to ma taksibun.” And in the second rakat after verse
Fataha, and after it, recite verse “Qul ya kafirun one
time. Allah will add the reward of one Haj pilgrimage to
his account of deeds.”
To keep in safety from clamity: Hazrat Qutub has said,
“One who leaves his house by recitation of Ayat al-Kursi,
and for it, the prophet of Allah has said the house will be
safe and secure in this matter.

78
Increase in sustenance: He has said one who will face a
tight condition is his sustenance then he should recite
usually recite : “Ya daim eiz wa mulak wa baqa ya zuljal
waljud walfasal ata ya wadud wa zularash al-majid ya falu
lima yurid.”
Revelation and miracles: There were many of the
miracles by Hazrat Qutub and in a brief way we are
mentioning some of them.
He has much fondness of Sama hearing. When he came
to Delhi, he and Qazi Hameeduddin Nagori used to hear
Sama hearing. And this news was reached to Sultan
Shabddin; he was angry, and he said,If he will learn again
that he will hear Sama, then at that time I will hang him
on the cross or, like Ain Qaza, burn to ashes in this
matter.”
Hazrat Qutub, upon hearing this, said, “Well, if he is
alive, then he will hang us or burn us into ashes.”
And in that month of the Sultan, Shabddin went toward
Khurasan, and in a few days he died there.
Hazrat Qutub stayed in Multan, and Qabacha was ruler
of Multan at that time. And one day he came in the
presence, and he said, Tell him, there came the Mughal
army to capture Multan, and I do not have the power to

79
fight and contest that with them. For God sake, help me
in this matter. Hazrat Qutub has given him one arrow,
and after sunset prayer, go to the tower of Hisar and
throw this arrow with help of the bow toward the enemy
side and see its result from the side of Allah.
Qabacha has done as per his saying. After falling of the
arrow, the Mughal army left from there and returned
back.
One day there was a Sama meeting in the house of Qazi
Hameeduddin. Hazrat Qutub was found with his grace
there. After finishing the meeting, Qazi Hameeduddin
told Hazrat Qutub that there is required food for the
audience. And Hazrat Qutub shake his sleeves, so there
were fallen two breads with hot sweets before the
audience of the Sama meeting. One day there was a
Sama meeting in the house of Qazi Hameeduddin, and
Qazi Sahib was in the condition of rapture. Qazi Sadiq
and Qazi Emad, who were among the great Qazi
personalities of Delhi. And both of them reached the
meeting. And at that time, Hazrat Qutub was 18 years
old. And still there was a not-found beard on his face.
Both of them addressed to him, “In the religion of
Sufiism, the presence of Amrus is against its rules and
regulations.”

80
Upon hearing this Qutub Sahib by reciting In the Name of
Allah (SWT) the Merciful, the Compassionate or
‫َّٰل‬
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem (Arabic: ' ‫) ِب ْس ِم ٱل ِه ٱل َّر ْح َٰم ِن ٱل َّر ِحي ِم‬
is an Arabic phrase meaning "In the name of God, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful" spread his two hands on his
face, and at that time bread was found on his face.
He told both of them that “he is not a breadless lad, but
he is a male person.”
Upon seeing this, both of the learned persons were
surprised and astonished in this matter. One day, Sultan
Altamesah was seen as the prophet of Allah in his dream.
He saw the King of both worlds on horseback gracing at
one place, and he is saying, “Oh, Shamsuddin, build one
water reservoir at this place so that there will be benefit
to mankind.”
Sultan, after awakening, has informed Hazrat Qutub that
he has seen one dream and he wants his permission to
come in his presence. And in reply, Hazrat Qutub has
sent a message to the sultan as follows:.
“I know details of the dream. I am going to that place
where the prophet of Allah has given order to construct a
water reservoir. You come soon at the place of my
address.”

81
The sultan has reached one place and has seen Hazrat
Qutub performing the prayer there, and when he had
finished praying, he said salam to him. He has seen the
place of of prophet of Allah in the dream, and at that
place he has found signs of the hoofs of horses. And
there was running of the water, and at that place, Sultan
Shamsuddin has built Houz (SShamsi water reserve in
Dehli)..
There was much name and fame for the big-heartedness
of Sultan Shamsuddin Altamesh. The famous poet Nasiri
came to Delhi and went in the presence of the blessing of
Hazrat Qutub for his prayers. He told him by his tongue
of favor, "Go, you will get much reward.”
Nasiri has written an enconuim of 56 couplets in the
praise of Sultan Shamsuddin of the Delhi kingdom and
present in the court of the sultan. The sultan did not pay
any attention. Nasiri was worried very much. He has
asked in his heart for help from Hazrat Qutub. Upon his
help, the sultan asked him to say yes to reading your
article. He has read the article. The Sultan was very
happy to listen to it. And he has given Nasiri 56 thousand
rupees as a reward to him. Upon receiving money, Nasir,
in happy mode, reached in the presence of Hazrat Qutb;
he put all the money received in reward. But Qutub Sahib

82
did not take any amount from it. He went back to his
native place.
After the death of Qutub Sahib, his favor of sprining is
being found. Hazrat Nizmuddin Auliya used to visit the
grave of Qutub Sahib, and there came the thought in his
mind that whether there would be any news of visitors to
Qutub Sahib or not.? And when he reached near the
grave, he heard the following couplet.:
“Imagine me alive, my dear.”
One person was buried at the feet side of Hazrat Qutub,
and people have seen him that he is visiting heaven, and
he was asked how he got heaven, which was his deed.
And that person has replied, “When angels of
punishment came over there to give punishment for me,
then there was difficulty to the soul of the Hazrat Qutub,
so Allah has removed punishment from the grave and
forgiven me.”
His favor of the innermost is being continued. And due to
the favor of his innermost, still people are being
benefited in this matter.

The End.
