'O, Ghous Help

[sarosh]

[glow=red,2,300]'O, GHOUS HELP[/glow]

Hazrat-e-Bishr Qarazi narrates that I was travelling with a group of traders along with fourteen camels carrying sugar. We stopped for the night in a dangerous jungle. In the early hours of the night my four loaded camels disappeared, which were not found even after a lot of search. The group also departed. The camel driver stayed back with me . In the morning I suddenly remembered that my Mentor, The King of Baghdad Huzoor Ghous-e-Pak had told me that whenever you get stuck in any problem then call me (my name), Allah willing that problem will be solved, hence I requested this way: YA SHAIKH ABDUL QADIR! MY CAMELS ARE LOST. All of sudden I saw a saintly man dressed in white clothes on a sand dune towards east, who was signaling me to come to him. As soon as I along with my camel driver reached over there the saintly Man disappeared from vision. We were strangely looking here and there when we suddenly spotted those four lost camels sitting under the sand dune. Then what happened was that we caught the camels and re-joined the group. When Sayyed-e-na Shaikh Ab-ul-Hasan Ali Khabbaz was told the incident of the lost camels He said that Hazrat-e-Shaikh Ab-ul- Qassim has said that I have heard Sayyed-e-na Shaikh Muhi-ud-Din Abdul Qadir Jilani saying:

"THE ONE WHO CRIES OUT FOR MY HELP DURING SOME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM GETS SOLVED, THE ONE WHO CALLS OUT MY NAME IN ANY HARDSHIP, THAT HARDSHIP; GETS DISMISSED, THE ONE WHO USED ME AS A SOURCE TO ASK ALLAH FOR SOME NEED, IT WILL BE FUFILLED. THE PERSON WHO PRAYES TWO RAK'AT OF NAFL AND IN EACH RAK'AT AFTER SURAH FATIHA RECITIES SURAH IKHLAS ELEVEN TIMES, AFTER SAYING SALAAM i.e AFTER FINISHING THE PRAYER, SENDS DUROOD-O-SALAAM ON THE KING OF MADEENAH AND THEN WALKS A DISTANCE OF ELEVEN STEPS TOWARDS BAGHDAD SHAREEF AND CALLS OUT MY NAME AND PRESENTS HIS NEED, ALLAH WILLING, THAT NEED WILL BE FULFILLED'.

Why should I go from door to door when I have a mentor like You. I received every thing from you 'O, Ghous-e-Azam Dastgir.

Dear Islamic Brethern! It is possible that in someone's mind a thought may arise that we should only ask Allah for any help and no one else, because when Allah is the One who helps then why should we ask anyone else for help? The answer to this is that this is the way he makes an unknown number of people go astray. When Allah has not refrained from asking for help from someone else then how can someone get the right of saying that don't ask for help from anyone but Allah. Look in the Holy Quran, where Allah has in various verses allowed asking for help from someone else, but even though being the Omnipotent in every way,. He has asked for help from His beings. Therefore it is stated:

Translation: If you will help the religion of Allah, Allah will help you. (Part-26, Sura: Muhammad)

Hazrat-e-Sayyed-e-na Issa Rooh-hul-lah while asking for help from His desciples states:

Translation: Issa son of Maryam has said to his desciples, who may help me being towards Allah? The desciples said, we are the helpers of the religion of Allah". (Part-28 Sura: Al-Saff)

When Hazrat-e-Sayyed-e-na Moosa Kalee-mul-lah was ordered to go to Fir'on for preaching, He asked for the help of a human being and requested Allah:

Translation: And make a minister for me from my family (He) May brother Haroon. Strengthen may loin by him. (Part-16 Verses-29 to 31)

Allah has stated in another place:

Translation: Then undoubtedly, Allah is his helper, and Gibrael and the righteous believers and after that the angels are his helpers. (Part-28 Sura: Al-Tahrim)

Dear Islamic Brethern! Did you see? The Holy Quran very openly, in clear words, announces that Allah is the Sustainer, but by the grace of Allah even Gibrael Amin and the dear ones of Allah (the Prophets ) and the Saints and even the angels are the ones who help. Now, Allah willing, this satanic thought that no one can help except for Allah, would be demolished from its roots. The interesting thing is that the ones who migrated to Madeenah-e-Munawwarah from Macca-e-Moazzamah are called Refugee (muhajir) and the ones who helped them are called Ansaar and every sensible person knows that the meaning of the word Ansaar is the helper. (May Allah influence the hearts with my words.)

Now may be the satan might put this evil thought in the heart that it is alright to ask for help from those who are alive but after their death you should not ask them for help. If you carefully study the following verse and the topic after it then Allah willing this satanic thought will be uprooted from its roots. It is stated:

Translation: And say not those who are killed in the path of Allah as dead; but they are alive yes, you are unaware. (Part-2 Sura: Al-Baqara)

It is proved by the Holy Quran that the ones martyred are alive. Now if these people are accepted as being alive who were killed by an iron sword in the path of Allah, then what are you going to say about the Prophets, but about the Leader of the Prophets Muhammad-e-Mustafa? It is stated in ROO-HUL-BAYAN that those people who died by the sword of the love of Allah are also included in this (meaning even they are alive like the ones martyred). Anyway, the Prophets are the Saints are alive, and we don't ask for help from the dead but from the ones alive and by the grace of Allah we accept them as the ones who fulfill the needs of the needy and the ones who help in the troubled times. Indeed, without Allah's bestowal no Prophet or Saint can neither give anything as small as t he smallest thing (particle atom) to anyone nor can they provide any sort of help. Sayyed-e-na Imam-e-Azam Abu Hanifa has, while requesting for help from the Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), requested in QASEEDA-E-NOMAN:

Which means that 'O, the One better than humans and jinns, and the One who is the treasure of the Bounty of Allah Please also give me from what Allah has bestowed on You and how Allah has satisfied you.

You also make me satisfied. I am a candidate of Your shower of generosity. There is no one for Abu Hanifa in the entire creation except you.

Sayyed-e-na Imam Sharaf-ud-Din Busairi has requested for help from the Lord of Madeenah in the famous QASEEDA-E-BURDA by requesting:

The One better than all creations, there is no one of mine except for You. The One whose shelter I can take in the time of trouble

Imdad-ullah Muhajir Makki has requested in NAALA-E-IMDAD:

I am sleeping day and night on the pillow of sins. Wake me up from the dream of ignorance Ya Rasool Allah.

Hazrat-e-Shah Wali-ullah Muhaddis Dehlawi has written about the grand supremacy of Ghous-e-Pak that:
That is Sheikh Mohi-ud-din Abdul Qadir Jilani, therefore says that even in His Grave Sharif he has authority like the ones alive.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

If you will help the religion of Allah, Allah will help you. (Part-26, Sura: Muhammad)

A great Surah and great topic. A bit long but worth it.

GHAUS AL AZAM IS THE GREATEST OF SAINTS

[Zuhair Nasir]

Mashallah A Good Post

I m posting one miracle of Ghous-ul-Azam:

WHAT WONDERFUL A GREATNESS OF GHOUS-E-AZAM
Someone narrated an incident, which took place in Kutiyana (India), the ancestral village of Sagh-e-Madeenah, that one person used to live there, who was an ardent lover of Ghous-e-Pak. He used to celebrate Gyarhavin Shareef (the eleventh day of the Islamic month and offering is made on this day for sunni saint Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani very enthusiastically. One another quality which was present in him was that he used to give a lot of respect to Syeds (The generation of The Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), he used to be so kind/caring towards young Syeds that he used to life them up and move around, and would buy sweets for them. On his death, a sheet was placed on the body, the people who came to grieve were present when suddenly the lover removed the sheet and sat upright. People got scared and started running, he cried out, don't be scared, just listen to me! When people came close he started saying, "the thing is that just now my Mentor of eleventh, the helpful Mentor, the One pure of heart, the Qutub (the highest Cadre in spiritual pivot of Allah, the dear One of Allah, the divine Ghous, the Candle of light, the Mentor of the mentors, the Leader of the leaders, Al-Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani had come. He Kicked me and said "BEING MY DECIPLE YOU DIED WITHOUT REPENTING! GET UP AND REPENT". Therefore, the soul re-entered my body so that I could repent. After saying this the lover asked for forgiveness of his sins and started reciting the Kalima-e-Pak. Suddenly, his head went on one side and he died.

Raza will die with his faith alive. If your mercy is with he 'O, Ghous.

Congratulation to the lovers and deciples of Huzoor Ghous-e-Pak that the King of Baghdad has said : "My deciple no matter how sinful he is, will not die till the time he does not repent". (Al Akhbaar-ul-Akhyaar)

Even if someone calls me notorious it will be casually. That notorious beggar of your's.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Subhanallah!!! Ya Ghous al Maddad.

Here's one of my favourite narrations taken from Qalaa'id al-Jawaahir (Necklace of Gems) by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Yahya at-Tadafi.

In obedience to Shaykh Abd al-Qadir's command, the king of jinn helps a man to recover his abducted daughter.

We owe this next report to Abu Sa'id Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Ali al Baghdadi al-Azaji, who said : "In the year 537[AH], a daughter of mine called Fatima went up onto the roof of a house, and from there she was abducted. She was still a virgin, and she was only 16 years old. When I went to Shaykh Muhyi'd-Din Abd al-Qadir, and told him what had happened, he said "You must go during the night to the wasteland of al-Karkh, sit down beside the fifth hill, and draw a circle around you on the ground. While drawing it you must say Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, in accordance with the intention [niyya] of Abd al-Qadir. Then in the pitch black phase of the night, parties of jinn will pass by you, in various shapes and forms. You must not be disturbed by anything about them. Later on, in the period shortly before daybreak, their king will pass by you, in the midst of a legion of them, and he will ask you what need of yours has brought you there. You must tell him Abd al-Qadir sent me to you, and let him know what happened to your daughter."

"I went to the spot the Shaykh had described, and carried out his instructions to the last detail. The jinn passed by me in various shapes and forms, alarming to the beholder, but none of them was able to get close to me, nor even the circle I had drawn on the ground. They kept coming and going, troop after troop, until their king arrived on the scene. He was riding on a horse, preceded by whole communities of the jinn. When he reached the circle he came to a halt and said "Oh human being, what need of yours has brought you here?" So I told him "Shaykh Abd al-Qadir sent me to you." As soon has he heard mention of the Shaykh (Radi Allahu anhu), he dismounted from his horse, kissed the ground, and sat down outside the circle. Those who were with him also sat down. "What is your problem?" he asked, so I told him my story. He said to those who were with him : "Who did this?" but none of them knew who had done it. Then a rebel sprite [marid] came along, bringing the girl with him. The king of the jinn was told "this is one of the rebel sprites from China," so he asked him : "Whatever possessed you to abduct someone who is under the protection of the Cardinal Pole [Qutb]?" The sprite replied "I took a fancy to her, and fell in love with her." The king gave the order for him to suffer beheading on the spot, and gave my daughter back to me.

...Contd.

"Until tonight," I said to him, "I had never imagined that you would act in compliance with the command of Shaykh Abd al-Qadir (Radi Allahu anhu)." "O yes indeed," said he, "the Shaykh keeps an eye on the rebel sprites [marada] amongst us, watching out for them from his private apartment. They inhabit the far reaches of the earth, so they flee to their dwellings in awe of him. Whenever Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) appoints a Cardinal Pole [Qutb], he puts him in charge of the jinn, as well as human beings."

May Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) be well pleased with the Shaykh.

[Shiraz Ashrafi]

Subhanallah, Ya Ghouse Paak Madad de!

The King of Saints, I once heard that before our beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) was born in Makkah Sharif, the Prophets before him used to cry to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) begging Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) to make them Umatti's of the best of all creation Hazrat Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), I wondered why they did this since they are Prophets and what a great title it is to be a Prophet, when I heard of Saints such as Hazrat Abdul Qaadir Jilani (Radi Allahu anhu) its very clear to me

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Subhna Allah, A fantastic thread. The personality of Hadrat Ghous-ul-Azam (Rehmatullahi ’Alaih)is of unquestioned greatness, as in his life time and after his passing away, his claims to supremacy have rested upon a sure and firm foundation.

He never spoke a lie!. He was essentially a practical man, who practiced what he preached. He led a life wedded to rigours and asceticism. He was a man of marvelous self- control.

For forty long years, he offered the morning prayer without break or pause, with the ablutions of the night prayer.

For fifteen years, it was his daily practice to stand on one foot in the night, and recite the Glorious Qur'an, and finish it by the break of day.

Once, it happened, that, he should postpone his prayers in the night, Ghous ul Azam (Rehmatullahi ’Alaih) would not prefer rest to prayers. He stopped there, and then, on the steps and stood on one foot, thus standing he began to recite the Glorious Qur'an. He did not move on, until he had finished all the thirty parts of the Glorious Qur'an.

He saw divine beauty in men, women and children, who were destitute, disabled and deformed.

There is a consensus of opinion, that Hadrat Ghous ul Azam (Rehmatullahi ’Alaih) was the most outstanding figure of his time.
