HIS EXCELLENCE:
He was a very exalted personality. His illustrious father Hazrat Shah
Barkatullah (radi Allaho anhu) loved him dearly. He spent his entire life in
the companionship of great Awliyah Allah. He was a great Aabid and Zaahid. He
was very knowledgeable, pious and Allah fearing. His behaviour and character
resembled that of his pious predecessors. His father appointed him as his
successor during his lifetime. If anyone came to ask anything, Hazrat would
send them to Hazrat Aale Ahmed (radi Allaho anhu) and he would say, “He has
unburdened me of a great responsibility and gave me great comfort.” He spent
some of his time studying the books of Tasawwuf. Most of his time was spent in
the Ibaadat of Allah. He endeavoured in the path of Allah (Mujahida) for
eighteen years. He remained in I’tekaaf continuously for three years and kept
fast during this time. He would make Iftaar with bread made from dry wheat.
During this time, he read many amals and wazifas. He used to only drink water enough to quench
his thirst, in other words just a few drops.
Due to his immense striving, a deep fissure was formed on the top of his
head. His father appointed him to train
those who came to Marehrah Shareef in the field of Tasawwuf. Thus, who ever
came, was cleansed and purified physically and spiritually. He always stayed
away from the Kings and the wealthy.
