KHAWAJA NOOR MUHAMMAD NAROOWALA (Radi Allahu anhu)
1. HAJI PUR SHARIF Haji pur is one of oldest town of Distt Rajan pur which is 25 KM away from Rajan Pur n 14 from Fazilpur. This town iz famous because of its seasonal floods n courageous people. This small town has lot of contribution towards Suffism. Presence of tomb of Khawaja Noor Muhammad Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu, Maulana Abubakar Amdani Radi Allahu anhu, Maulana Muhammad Ghilvi Radi Allahu anhu and Hazrat Abdul Nabi Serai are main exemple to proove the statement. Amongst these all "Aulia Allah" {saints} the most famous is Hazrat Khawaja Noor Muhammad Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu mainly known as Khawaja Naroowala.He was 1st caliph of Hazrat Noor Muhammad Maharvi Qibla e Alam. He always promoted teachings of Islam, tolerance and brotherhood amongst the Muslims.
2. WILADAT Khawaja Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu was a born Wali(madar zad) whose arrival was predicted quite a long time before his birth in this world by Hazrat Muhkam Din Sairani Radi Allahu anhu, once he, during his visit to the home town of Hazrat Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu saw his father Hazrat Saleh Muhammad. Khawaja Sairani Sahib Radi Allahu anhu gave him very much respect n when asked the reasons by his companions, he disclosed that this respect is not for him but this is for a WALI who will be his son. And sign of his existence is visible on his forehead. He was born in 1148 Hijri in Chah Naro village.(Gulshan e Abrar, Makhzan e Chisht)
3. EARLY LIFE Khawaja Naroowala sahib Radi Allahu anhu spent his early life in Chah Naroowala in distt Rajanpur. Right from his childhood he use to remain busy in Ebadat e Ilahi. Hazrat Naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu use to remain busy in Mushahida e Haq.In his very early age during Ramadhan he never took milk of her mother from dawn (Saher) to dusk (Aftaar).
4. EARLY EDUCATION As he grew up he started getting his early education and in his teen age he completed the education of Arabia, Persian, Fiqqah, Tassawuf from Multan. (Tarikh e Dera Ghazi Khan) During his early age he always remained buisy in Ziker e Ilahi and Ibadat e Ilahi. Once his mother made a sweet for him in night and told him to take it once he get free from his Ibadat. As per mother advice when Khawaja Naroowala Saeen went to storage place where sweet and some salty food was also laying nearby, he took it and eat it a bit. Next day his mother was surprised to see that salty thing was eaten whereas sweet was not even touched so she asked my son Noor Muhammad why you did not eat sweet? Hazrat Naroowala Saeen replied "mother i could not understand which is sweet and which is salty but i took it as it was your order".
5. One of his mureed who use to serve him milk narrated an incident that once he went earlier than normal to serve him milk. There he saw that Hazrat naroowala saeen is reciting Kalim e Tayyeba. When he use to say “LA ILAHA IL ALLAH MUHAMMAD UR RASOOL ALLAH” his hairs started falling down. He was so frightened to see this all that he addressed him loudly. When the matter was told his Murshid Hazur Qibla e alam saeen Radi Allahu anhu, he warned the person to not to interfere him during his Zikar time. (Gulshan e Abrar) Same is reflected by Khawaja Ghulam Farid by his verse
“ZE ASHAB TAREEQ HAMA ASBAQ”
(Aap Sahaba ki tarah batay hoy tareeka e kar pe mukammal tor pe chalty hain)
“DAR BEHR MUSHAHIDA MUSTAGHRAQ”
(Aur muahahida e haq mai hamesha mashghool rehty hain)
“AAE NOOR MUHAMMAD WASIL E HAQ”
(Aai Noor Muhammad RA, ap wasil e Haq hain)
“AAI MURSHID E BA TAMKEEN MADADY”
(Aai BA TAMKEEN murshid meri madad farmain)
6. WHY HE IS KNOWN AS "NAROOWALA" In his hometown Chah naroo an old lady named "NAROO" use to look after his requirements. Once Naroo was sitting very gloomy and when reason was asked by Hazrat naroowala Radi Allahu anhu, she replied that there is none to remember me after i m gone from this world as i dont have anyone after me. Hazrat Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu said her not to worry. He further added that till the time my name will remain in this world people will remember your name. That day onward “Naroowala" became part of his name.
7. JOURNEY TO MAHAR SHARIF One of his closest friends named Hazrat Hafiz Muhammad returned home after accepting Baait of Hazrat Fakhar Ud Din Dehlivi Radi Allahu anhu (murshid of Hazrat Qibla e Alam saeen Radi Allahu anhu). Once Naroowala Saeen met him , he was surprised to see his condition as he was just overwhelmed with Ishq and Shad. Hazrat Naroowala Saeen was impressed to see it and asked Hazrat Hafiz Muhammad that he also wanted to accept Baait from Hazrat Fakher ud Din Radi Allahu anhu. So when Hazrat Hafiz Muhammad was going to meet his Murshid in Dehli, Naroowala Saeen gave him a letter for Hazrat Fakher Jahan requesting him to accept him as mureed and some advices. Hazrat fakher Jahan Radi Allahu anhu invited him to come to Dehli via Mahar Sharif (home towm of Hazur Qibla e Alam ) and advised him to study Masnavi e Room (written by Moulana Jalal ud din Roomi). Khawaja Naroowala Saeen Radi Allahu anhu was really surprised to read advice of reading Masnavi e Room as he was master in it and had even taught it to many students. Since it was advised by a man who was going to be his Murshid in future so he started reading it, and after reading only one stanza he suddenly felt lot of changes in himself and his complete body started burning Ishq o Jazb.So he asked Hazrat Hafiz Muhammad to go to Dehli and started their journey on same day. Since they were ordered to come via Mahar Sharif so they planned their journey accordingly. When they reached Khairpur (closer town of Mahar sharif) they came to know that Hazur Qibla e alam had moved to Delhi but both decided to go as per orders given to them. So when they reached Mahar sharif, they were surprised to see Hazur Qibla e Alam was present in Mahar sharif who later told them that he was ordered by Hazrat Fakher Jahan to go back to Mahar sharif at early. (Gulshan e Abrar, Khair ul Azkaar)
8. REACHING HIS DESTINATION Hazrat Qibla e Alam saeen Radi Allahu anhu was in Delhi when his murshid asked him to go to mahar sharif as a SHAHBAZ is coming to his So Hazur Qibla e Alam Radi Allahu anhu reached mahar sharif before them and received them. He offered Khawaja Naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu a wheat bread (roti) and a glass of (cow) milk in dinner. Khawaja Naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu stopped for a moment because he was very careful for Halal and Haram and immediately he was told by Hazur Qibla e Alam Radi Allahu anhu that this is purely a Halal food. This milk is of a cow which is owned by my mother and this bread is made of wheat from our land. On this Khawaja Naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu ate that food which ultimately changed his mind. In morning when Khawaja Naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu was asked by Hazrat Hafiz Muhammad Radi Allahu anhu to restore their journey, Khawaja Naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu said that I ve already reached my destiny and accepted BAAIT from Hazrat qibla e Alam Radi Allahu anhu.
9. DEATH Once Hazrat Naroowala Saeen Radi Allahu anhu was present in Chishtiaan Sharif in the sacred company of his murshid Hazur Qibla e Alam Radi Allahu anhu. Once he wanted to leave, Hazur Qibla e Alam saeen pointed his elder son Hazrat Noor - us- Samad Shaheed Radi Allahu anhu to pick shoes for Naroowala saeen which was actually indication that Hazrat Qibla e Alam saeen Radi Allahu anhu wanted his son to do Baait of Naroowala Saeen. Hazrat Naroowala Saeen Radi Allahu anhu immediately understood it n said “May Allah don’t show me the time when son of my Murshid touches my shoes” and tears started coming from his eyes and he went into state of “GIRYA” (shock). He immediately travelled back to his home in same state of “GIRYA” and his tears didn’t stop, and in same state his health started deteriorating and his soul met his Lord in the way.
Hazur Qibla e Alam saeen Radi Allahu anhu said, when he heard regarding "Wisal" of Hazrat naroowala saeen Radi Allahu anhu
URFI CHEH NISHASTAND KEH YARAAN RAFTAND
(Urfi why are you sitting while all your companions have left)
MAANDI TU PIAADAA WA SHAHSAWARAAN RAFTAND
(Only you are left as pedestrian while all knights ve left)
His urs is celebrated on 4 5 and 6 of Jamadi ul Awwal.
Khawaja Noor Muhammad Salis Radi Allahu anhu (Muhammad Pur Distt Rajan Pur), Khawaja Abubakar Amdani Radi Allahu anhu (Haji Pur), Khawaja Hassan Pitafi Radi Allahu anhu (Rajan Pur) andKhawaja Ghilvi Radi Allahu anhu (Haji Pur) are his famous khulafaa.
Many Sufia Karam and Mashaikh use to visit this town to pay a tribute of Aqeedat to Khawaja Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu amongst those most famous are Hazur Qibla e Alam Hazrat Noor Muhammad Maharvi Radi Allahu anhu, Pir Pathan Khawaja Shah Sulaiman Taunsvi Radi Allahu anhu and Khawaja Ghulam Farid Radi Allahu anhu
10. BAHISHTI DARWAZA After departure of Khawaja Naroowala(Radi Allahu anhu) from this world, his murshid Hazrat Qibla e Alam came to his mazar in Zilhijja, so his followers were worried that if stay of Hazur Qibla e alam Radi Allahu anhu will prolonged in Hajipur then they miss passing through Bahishti Darwaza in Pak pattan. When their concern was known by Hazrat Qibla e AlamRadi Allahu anhu, He said in Persian "MARTABA E MIAN SAHIBA MAA, AZ GANJ SHAKAR KAM TAR NAIST" (This means that status of my Mian saahib is not less than Hazrat Ganj Shakar) and ordered to open a baheshti darwaza in haji pur n everybody to pass through it
11. CONCEPT OF BAHISHTI DARWAZA Concept of Bahishti door iz not understood by many of persons that how by passing through a door can we make them JANNATI n therefore they call it wrong. Main concept of Baheshti Darwaza is to provide a platform where person seek TOUBA n makes promise with himself that that he ll quit all evil deeds n will follow the path of this wali n next year he comes to renew his promise. When he does that n act accordingly, then surely he will qualify for Jannat
12. Baheshti Darwaza (locally known as DARRI)opens on nights of 5 and 6 of Muharram ul Haram. Many of his followers come there on these occasions n gather blessings.
13.CONSTRUCTION OF DARBAR Khawaja Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu said (before his departure from this world) that no tomb (Roza) should be constructed for me as it deviates "Noorani Rays" but after his death once this was known by his murshid Hazur Qibla e Alam, he said that his status is not affected by such things and orderd to construct the building. So Nawab Islam Khan of Bahawalpur State who was mureed of Khawaja Naroowala Radi Allahu anhu constructed the existing building
