The Preface
This is a very old book which was written by Hadrat Abul Hasnat Syed Abdullah Shah Sahib about the speeches (malfuzat) of advices and discourses of his disciples in small book and the first time I am translating this book into English in the global edition of Amazon.com of U.S.A.
This translation of the most ancient and celebrated Urdu old book on Sufi’ism will, I hope, be found useful not only by the number of students familiar with the subject at first hand, but also by many other readers.
This is very small book and it is available in one volume as stated above and in which there are advises and instructions, especially available for Taleb (student) and it refers to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik (Arabic: سَالِك), a mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism and all these details of advices by the spiritual master of Abul Hasnat Syed Abdullah Shah is added in this book. And also in this book there are some great achievements which are not yet known to the general person are published in a very interesting style so for this reason the readers will find great interest and attention in this matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts reading this book’s first page and will not stop its reading till they will reach its last page as in this book some interesting events and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy saints are added and these holy saints have passed away from the world some 100 years ago.
Even though this is not very lengthy book, but due to its importance it is so great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it so it is like an ocean of the knowledge and information of the holy saints and who have passed away from the world upon doing their great endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation work of Islam in the foreign lands so this book is not very lengthy but it will present the ocean of knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right path of Islam.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book ‘Muslim saints and Mystics’ (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din Attar) which is very famous in the Western world among the English knowing persons. So for this reason there will be some small differences in it while comparing with the Urdu books and its literature. The aim of this book is to present in the Western world where there is great search and demand of the books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who lived and spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of the Islamic religious mission in all corners of the world as per tradition and practice of Allah’s last prophet.
Hadrat Abul Hasnat Syed Abdullah Shah Sahib in brief, was a great Saint of his time in the Indian Sub-continent and who did many great endeavours for the preaching and propagation of Islam in Hyderabad city and he did the endeavours for the Islamic mission with the hopes of its expansion to other adjoining and distant territories and there was no such personality during his time.
It is my great honour and pleasure to translate this book from Urdu to English first time, so I request the readers to read this book because in it there are many revelations of the secrets which are added in this book for which I shall be highly obliged to all of its readers in this matter.
In the preface of the book ‘Tadhikra al-Awliya’ (Muslim Saints & Mystics), Attar mentions three books which he recommends for those ambitious to attain a full understanding of the pronouncements of the Sufis but in this book also there are many revelations of the secrets which are available for the students of the Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism.

Elaj al-Salikin
The hymn of Allah
Oh my God, oh my Sustainer
You are the goal of my heart without doubt
Oh demand of my heart and my soul
Give me the sign where you will be found
Oh my beloved, oh my dear friend
Due to separation I am nearly at the death
Till what time oh Lord, I should be away
To show manifest and not separate me from myself
Oh God to keep me away from myself
So that I can see one look on You from Yourself
I do not demand anything from the two worlds
I ask from You so give me my demand
You are medicine of incurable of patients
For every desire you will fulfill my demand
You are medicine of my every disease
You are ointment of my every wound
Be award ecstasy me due to your love
With which there be down every thinking
Give me such consciousness to such extent
So I should become your man in 8th parts of the day
If there your remembrance than it will be there always
If there will be your thinking, then it will be there always
Unrelated of You which will be away from the heart
With your love the heart will be full and occupied
Made me the dust of way of sympathetic people
Made my life to die and weeping my eye in your love
And remove grief from the heart and made me happy
So that come the rosy cheek to visit there
After finishing this hymn and made intercession
Of the personality of the last messenger in the world
You get the upper hand with recovery from Allah
So hold the edge of the prophet of Allah
Who is the source of source less persons
But also he is the only source of all persons
But it is very sad and sorry of uncountable that
There are fine veils on you from all four sides
You did not look with your eyes
And not even hear from the your ears
You are held in the marsh of carelessness
And do not move with your foot toward truth
Ride on conveyance of repentance with a staff of crying pain
Then come out from the marsh and take the way
Bring thinking of the pain of love in your heart
So that illness of carelessness becomes coupled with love
To make free from oil of carelessness of the ears
Afterward hear this complaint of the pain
