Hazrat Gaus E Azam and the disobediant Shaykh

When Sarkar E Baghdad Rahmatullahi 'alayh made the famous statement “that my foot is on the neck on all the walis” three hundred and thirteen saints lowered there necks for Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh.

However there was a Persian shaykh and he was very devote and sincere. He prayed more then anyone and fasted continuously. He made numerous pilgrimages to the kabah shareef. He was very ambitious to attain the pleasure of ALLAH Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. For fifty years he stayed in seclusion from the world with his four hundred mureeds, whom he made work day and night to perfect themselves. The shaykh had great knowledge and could work miracles.

When Sarkar E Baghdad’s Rahmatullahi 'alayh statement reached the shaykh he was in pilgrimage with his mureeds in the holy city of mecca. Either he underestimated the greatness of Hazrat Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh or he overestimated his own. He refused to lower his neck to the great Gaus E Paak Rahmatullahi 'alayh. That night he dreamed that he went from mecca to Byzantium where he worshipped an idol. Depressed by this oppressive dream he gathered his disiples and said that he must go at once to Byzantium where he hoped to discover the meaning of this dream. His loyal disciples followed him. As they entered the city the shaykh caught sight of a beautiful girl standing on a balcony.

Her hair was black as night, her eyes were twin moons with arched brows like tender sickles over them, her look a lure for lovers, her moist lips the colour of rubies, rendered who looked upon them thirsty. Her mouth was so small that even words could not pass, her slender waist was clasped by the idolaters belt.

Inshallah more to come.....

As soon as the shaykh saw her, his heart came on to fire, he eyes fixed on her, his will slipped from his hands. As his heart was filled with lover for her, religion and faith left it. For all her beauty that women was a harlot, a temptation of the devil. The shaykh stood at the door of this pagan harlot with his mouth wide open, his eyes fixed on the balcony, hoping to see her. Inwardly he was in torment. He thought that he had fasted all these years, tormented his flesh but never had he ever felt like this. He saught all his knowledge and his reason to make sense of this situation but all knowledge and reason had left him. His companions came to him in terror and begged him to come away to pray and repent.

The shaykh replied that if he had to repent now, he would repent for absurdity of giving up the world and its pleasures for the sake of his faith and as for praying and begging, he would rather beg from this girl than god.

When he was reminded of the punishment of ALLAH and hell, he said that this sepration from his beloved and the fire of love in his heart could feed seven hells. His disciples pleaded with him for a long time, but seeing that their efforts produced no effect on the shaykh they left him.

The shaykh stayed the whole month at the door of the pagan harlot. The dust was his bed and the doorstep his pillow. He slept on the street with the street dogs. Finally the beautiful pagan girl came out too see him and meet him, she said to him “o old man who calls himself a shaykh and a muslim you are so drunk from the wine of giving partners to god that you show yourself in such a state in this pagan street. The shaykh replied “I will give up not only my religion for you but my life also just for one touch of your lips. The beautiful harlot replied “how dare you, you old man of your passions, suggest kissing me when you are ready to wrap yourself in your shroud and go to your tomb I cannot love you.”

No matter how the girl insulted him the shaykh stood at her door. Then she came down again and told him that “if you say that you love me as you say you do, and then you must leave Islam, burn the quran, bow your head and prostrate your self to the idols and most finally drink wine. The shaykh replied “I cannot yet truly abandon Islam yet, not can I burn the quran but I am willingly to drink wine to your beauty. She said to him “come and drink with me.” “You will soon agree of all the other things that I ask of you.”

Inshallah more to come.....

As the shaykh sipped the wine from the harlot’s hands his mind and heart blazed with fire. He tried to recall the quran which he had memorized and all the books he had written about islam and read about islam, but he had forgotten it all. The shaykh was drunk so he tried to touch the girl. She said “not until you become a pagan like me and burn the quran.” The shaykh threw the quran and his dervish cloak into the fire and left his religion and bowed down to the pagan gods. Once again he tried to touch her. The girl said “you old dweller, slave of passion, who posses neither worldly goods nor fame, how can a women like me be caressed by a man like you, a beggar? I need silver, gold and silk. Since you have none take your ugly self away!

More time passed, the shaykh stood at her door wasted. Finally one day she gave herself to him. Then she said “now for my price o filthy man, go and take care of my herd of pigs for a year. Without an argument the one time kabah shaykh was now a swine heard.

The sad news of the shaykh who did not bow down his head to Jigare Ghusha E Ali O Batool Hazrat Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh spread, and his disiples who had abandoned him reached Baghdad. The persions shaykhs mureeds asked to see Hazrat Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh. When they told him what had happended and that their shaykh had forsaken his religion, become a pagan and a swineheard Hazrat Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh said “if one does not submit and become a lamb to a shepherd, then one becomes a shepherd to a herd of pigs. For each man has his herd of a thousand pigs, a thousand idols in his heart, unless he drives them away by submission and repentance. Then he reproached them for having left their shaykh and told them that they should even have become pagans for his sake. He added that a real friend is a friend upon whom you can rely in misfortune., in good fortune everyone feigns to be your friend. Then the great Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh prayed for the misguided shaykh and told them to go back to Byzantium and tell him that Abdul Qadir Rahmatullahi 'alayh bids him to come back.

The disiples at once sent out for Byzantium. They prayed for their shaykh all the way. They fasted and asked ALLAH Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to give their reward to their shaykh. They sent numerous blessings upon the Madni Master Huzoor Sarwar E Konanin, Rehmatul Lil Alameen, Hazrat Muhmmed Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam and asked for there blessed imtercsession. The arrow of prayer reached its mark. When they came upon the shaykh they found him radiant amoung the many pigs, and when they told him of the call of Hazrat Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh he tore away from the girdle of the pagan., shed torrents of tears of remorse, lifted his hands to the heavens in thankfulness, and all that he had forsaken- the quran, the divine secrets came back to him and he was delievered from the misery and folly.

The shaykh then bathed himself and performed his ablutions and then put on his dervish cloak and set out for Baghdad. While all this was happening the pagan girl saw in her dream a light desenseding upon her and heard these words: follow your shaykh, embrace his faith, be the dust beneath his feet. You who have been soiled are as pure as he is now. You led him in your way. Enter now into his. When she awoke she was transformed. She rushed to catch up with the shaykh and his diciplies. She ran, without eating or drinking, over mountains and plains. Finally in the middle of the dessert she fell to the ground and prayed “o you, who have created me, forgive me, do not strike me down. If I revolted against your faith and your ways, I did it in ignorance, as my shaykh did in ignorance. You have forgiven him so please forgive me. I submit and accept the true faith.

ALLAH Subhanahu wa Ta'ala made the shaykh who was not far away, hear her words and he and his disiples went back to where the girl lay. She said “I am consumed with shame because of you” instruct me to islam so I may meet my lord on the way. As the shaykh witnessed her faith and his compainions shed tears of joy, she bade them farewell and joined her lord. She, a drop in the sea of illusion, returned to the true ocean and the shaykh came to Baghdad and streached his neck in humbleness under the feet of Hazrat Gaus E Azam Rahmatullahi 'alayh.

Thats the end. Hope you all enjoyed it.

Jazakallah Khayrun
