Fw: [AllahoAkbarGroup] 6th Safar al-Muzaffar | The Rumi of Punjab — Hadrat Baba Bulleh Shah Alaihir raHmah

-------Original Message------- From: Noori Date: 19-12-2012 10:00:43 PM Subject: [AllahoAkbarGroup] 6th Safar al-Muzaffar | The Rumi of Punjab — Hadrat Baba Bulleh Shah Alaihir raHmah   Hadrat Sayyid Abdullah Shah Qadiri Baba Bulleh Shah Alaihir raHmah   Hadrat Sayyid Abdullah Shah Qadiri also known as Hadrat Baba Bulleh Shah Alaihir raHma is universally admitted to have been the greatest of the Panjabi mystics. No Panjabi mystic poet enjoys a wider celebrity and a greater reputation. His kafis have gained unique popularity. In truth he is one of the greatest Sufis of the world and his thought equals that of Jalal al-Din Rumi and Shams Tabriz of Persia. As a poet Bulleh Shah is different from the other Sufi poets of the Panjab, and represents that strong and living pious nature of Panjabi character which is more reasonable than emotional or passionate. As he was an outcome of the traditional mystic thought we can trace some amount of mystic phraseology and sentiment in his poetry but, in the main, intellectual vedantic thought is its chief characteristic. He was born in a Saiyyid family residing at, the village Pandoki of Kasur in the Lahore district, in the year A.D. 1680. This was during the twenty-first year of Emperor Aurangzeb's reign. According to C. F. Usborne he passed away in A.H. 1171 or A.D. 1785 (I.e. In the short reign of Alamgir the Second) at the ripe old age of 78.   A large amount of what is known about Bulleh Shah comes through legends, and is subjective; to the point that there isn't even agreement among historians concerning his precise date and place of birth. Some "facts" about his life have been pieced together from his own writings. Other "facts" seem to have been passed down through oral traditions. Baba Bulleh Shah practiced the Sufi tradition of Punjabi poetry established by poets like Shah Hussain (1538 – 1599), Sultan Bahu (1629 – 1691), and Shah Sharaf (1640 – 1724) Alaihim AR-RaHmah. Baba Bulleh Shah lived in the same period as the famous Sindhi Sufi poet , Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689 – 1752). His life also overlapped with the legendary Punjabi poet Waris Shah (1722 – 1798), and the famous Sindhi Sufi poet Abdul Wahad (1739 – 1829), better known by his pen-name, Sachal Sarmast ("truth seeking leader of the intoxicated ones").   After completing his education, it is said that Baba Bulleh Shah went to Lahore. Of the two traditions, one says that, as was customary in those days, he came to Lahore in search of a spiritual teacher, while the other relates that he went there on a visit. Each of these two contradictory traditions has a legend to support it. The first relates that while he was busy searching the intellectual circles of Lahore to find out a competent master he heard of Shah Inayat's greatness and decided to make him his Murshid. He turned his steps towards the house of the Shah, and found him engrossed in his work in the garden. Having introduced himself, Baba Bulleh Shah requested that he might be accepted a disciple and taught the secret of Lord Almighty. Thereupon Hadrat Shah lnayat Alaihir raHmah said: Bullhia rabb DA pan AI Edharo puttan odharo LAN hai. O Bulleh! The secret of Almighty Allah is this; on this side He uproots, on the other side He creates. 'This', says the tradition. 'so impressed Baba Bulleh Shah that, forgetting his family and its status, he became Inyat Shah's disciple.'   The second tradition says that Shah Inayat was the head gardener of the Shalimar gardens of Lahore. When in Lahore, Baba Bulleh Shah visited them, and as it was summer, he roamed in the mango-groves. Desirous of tasting the fruit he looked round for the guardian but, not finding him there, he decided to help himself. To avoid the sin of stealing, he looked at the ripe fruit and said; 'ALLAHu Ghani'. On the utterance of these magic words a mango fell into his hands. He repeated them several times, and thus collected a few mangoes. Tying them up in his scarf he moved on to find a comfortable place where he could eat them. At this time he met the head gardener, who accused him of stealing the fruit from the royal gardens. Considering him to be a man of low origin and desirous of demonstrating to him his occult powers, Baba Bulleh Shah said ironically: 'I have not stolen the mangoes but they have fallen into my hands as you will presently see.' He uttered 'ALLAHu Ghani' and the fruit came into his hand. But to his great surprise the young Saiyyid found that Inayat Shah was not at all impressed but was smiling innocently. The great embarrassment of Bullhe Shah inspired pity in the gardener's heart and he said: 'You do not know how to pronounce properly the holy words and so you reduce their power.' So saying, he uttered 'ALLAHu Ghani', and all the fruits in the gardens fell on the lovely lawns. Once again he repeated the same and the fruit went back on to the trees. This defeat inflicted by the guardian, whom the young Saiyyid Bullhe Shah considered ignorant and low, revolutionized his whole thought. Falling at the feet of Inayat Shah he asked to be classed as his disciple and his request was immediately granted.   The above two traditions, though different in detail, come to the same conclusion, that Baba Bulleh Shah, impressed by the greatness of Inayat, became his disciple. Bullhe Shah in his verse often speaks of his master Inayat Shah and thanks his good luck for having met such a murshid. Bulleh Shah ve nic kamini Shah inayat tari.  Says Bulleh Shah, O Almighty the Lord Inayat has saved me, low and mean. And: Bullhe Shah di suno hakait hadi pakria hog hadait mera murshid Shah Inayat Uh langhaai par. Listen to the story of Bullhe Shah, he has got hold of the peer and shall have salvation. My teacher, Shah Inayat, he will take me across. In an account of the Panjabi poets it would perhaps be out of place to speak at great length of Shah Inayat who wrote in Persian. But the influence exerted by him through his teachings and writings has linked him with Panjabi literature. Baba Bulleh Shah the Rumi of the Panjab, came most directly under his influence and, having learnt from him, was inspired to write his remarkable poetry. It will therefore, be proper to give a short account of this wonderful man.   Hadrat Shah Inayat Qadiri and his School Hazrat Shaykh Muhammad Inayatullah, generally known as Shah Inayat Qadiri, was born at Kasur in the Lahore district, of Arais parents. The arias in the Panjab were gardeners or petty cultivators. They are known to be Hindu converts to Islam and are therefore considered inferior. He was educated after the manner of his time and gained a good knowledge of Persian and Arabic. As he was born with a mystic disposition he became a disciple of the famous Sufi scholar and saint Muhammad Ali Raza Shattari. After he had finished his studies he was created a khalifa. Later on he received the khilafat of seven other sub-sects of the Sufi Qadiri. Soon after this event he left Kasur and migrated to Lahore .The author of Bagh-i-Awliya-e-Hind says that the great enmity of the Hakim Hussain Khan compelled him to migrate, but his descendants assert that it was the order of his teacher that brought him to Lahore. Here after having quelled the jealousy of his famous contemporaries, he established a college of his own. To this college came men of education for further studies in philosophy and other spiritual sciences of the time. Inayat Shah was a well-known Qadiri Sufi of his time. From the historical point of view the Qadiri Sufis can be traced back to the Sufi Saint Abdul Qadri Jilani of Bagdad. Jilani is also known by the names Peer Dastgeer and Peeran-e-Peer. Bulleh Shah himself has also given a hint that his "Master of Masters" was born in Bagdad but his own Master belonged to Lahore: My Master of Masters hailed from Baghdad, but my Master belongs to the throne of Lahore. It is all the same. For He himself is the kite and He himself is the string.   Such was the man whom Baba Bulleh Shah made his Murshid. This action of Baba Bulleh Shah, however, was highly displeasing to his family. His relatives tried to induce him to give up Inayat and find another murshid. But Baba Bulleh Shah was firm and paid no attention to them or to their wailings. The following will sufficiently demonstrate the indignation of the family: Bulleh nu samjhawan aiyaan bhena te bharjhaiyaan Aal nabi ullad Nabi nu tu kyun leekaan laaiyaan Manlay Bulleya sada kehna chad de palla raiyaan To Bulleh sisters and sisters-in-law came to explain (advise). Why, O Bulleh, have you blackened the family of the Prophet and the descendants of Ali? Listen to our advice, Bulleh, and leave the skirt of the aria. To this reproach Baba Bulleh Shah firmly but indifferently replies: Jehra sanu saiyad akkhe dozakh miln sazaiya Jehra sanu rai akkhe bahishti piga paiya Je tu lore bag bahara Bullhia Talib ho ja raiya. He who calls me a Saiyyid, shall receive punishments in Hell, he who calls me an arai shall in heaven have swings; O Bulleh, if you want pleasures of the garden become a disciple of the aria. Raeen saain sabhan thaain rab diyaan be parwaiyaan Sohniyaan pare hataiyaan te khoojiyaan lay gall laiyaan Arain and masters are born at every place, Lord Almighty does not discriminate against anyone. Wise people don't care for such differences, only the ugly ones do Je tu loorain baag baharaan chaakar hoo ja raiyaan Bulleh Shah di zaat ki puchni shakar ho razaiyaan If you seek to the gardens of heaven, become a servant to the 'Arains'. Why ask about the caste of Bulleh Shah? Instead be grateful in Allah's will. Baba Bulleh Shah seems to have suffered at the hands of his family, as he has once or twice mentioned in his poetry. In the end, being convinced of the sincere love and regard of their child for Inayat Shah, the family left him alone. It is said that one of his sisters, who understood her brother, gave him her support and encouraged him in his search for truth. After the demise of Hadrat Shah Inayat, Baba Bullhe Shah returned to Kasur. He remained faithful to his Beloved and to himself by not marrying. The sister who understood him also remained single and kept him company in his last years. He died in A.D. 1758 and was buried in Kasur, where his tomb still exists. May Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala elevate his Status and bless with a part from the Divine Love of Hadrat Sayyid Abdullah Shah Qadiri that he had for HIM (Almighty) and accept our remembrance of the Great Wali and the Sufi Master and make it a medium for us to receive his divine mercy and blessings… Aameen!!   ,_._,___

Fw: [AllahoAkbarGroup] A Cold Breath of Jahannam

-------Original Message------- From: Adil ibn Manzoor Khan Date: 17-12-2012 10:07:09 PM Subject: [AllahoAkbarGroup] A Cold Breath of Jahannam   In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate   "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"   Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.      Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'Ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu   A Cold Breath of Jahannam By Asma bint Shameem   Last week, it was extremely cold.... Cold beyond imagination.    It was so cold, they said these were temperatures we havent seen in more than a decade.   Pipes froze and burst, many people lost electricity and many even died.   There was ice everywhere...ice on the cars, ice on the trees, ice on the on the grass.   When the arctic wind blew, it cut through to the bone. It hit across the face and numbed whatever it touched.   And as I felt the chilling effects of these below-freezing temperatures, I thought of Jahannum. Yes, Jahannum.   Now, why would I remember Jahannum, one might ask, in this Siberian weather? Isnt Jahannum fiery, burning and hot?   Yes. But, although Jahannum is a place known for its unimaginable heat, scorching blazes and sweltering fires, there are also places within it that are extremely cold, frigid and chilling.     So frigid are these places that it would burn and scorch and torture a person just as the severest fire would and worse.   And this extreme state of coldness in Jahannum is called Zamhareer.     The state of the Hell of Zamhareer is a suffering of extreme coldness, of blizzards and freeze for the people who will enter Jahannum. (May Allaah protect us from it).   Yet its coldness is not a pleasure or a relief to the sinners. Rather it is a severe punishment and burning torture which no one would ever be able to bear.     Ibnul Qayyim said about the following Ayah: "Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink. Except boiling water, and Ghasaaqaa" [Al Naba: 24-25]   It is Zamhareer, it burns them with its extreme cold just as it burns them with its heat. It was also stated by Mujaahid and Muqaatil that it is the peak of coldness. (Badaai al Fawaa-id)   Allaah mentions this Zamhareer when he talks about the rewards of the people of Jannah and how they are saved from its cold torture, its extreme frigidity and biting frost.   ''They will recline on thrones. They will not see the excessive heat of the sun, nor the extreme bitterness of cold (Zamhareera).'' (Surah Insan:13)   And the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi WA Sallam) said: "The Fire says: Master, some of me eats other parts, so grant me a breath (respite). Thus (the Fire) was granted a breath in the summer and a breath In the winter. So whatever you find of bitter cold or Zamhareer, thus it is from a breath of Jahannum, and whatever you find of heat or Haruur, thus it is from a breath of Jahannum". (Muslim)   So what did the righteous people do when they experienced extreme cold winters and low temperatures?   They remembered this hadeeth and asked Allaah to protect them from Jahannum and its bitter cold as well as its severe heat.   Ibn Rajab said: "And from the virtues of winter is that it reminds one of the extreme cold of Hell and pushes one to seek refuge from it…"   So when winter comes along and the arctic wind blows and temperatures drop, use it as a reminder for the Aakhirah.   When your fingers and toes are so cold and numb, that you can no longer feel them and when your shake and shiver in the frigid weather, remember Zamhareer and its bitter coldness.     These winds, these extremes of temperatures, this ice and snow are signs amongst the signs of Allaah. They are reminders of our life to come and of the Aakhirah.   So seek refuge in Allaah from Jahannum and its heat and its coldness. Do all you can to stay away from it and do all you can to protect yourself from It. And never forget the Day when you will stand in front of Him and give account of all that you said and did.   The famous worshipper Raabiah said: "I have never heard the adhaan except that I remember the caller who will announce the Day of Resurrection, and I never see the falling snow except that I imagine the flying pages of the records of peoples deeds (on that day), and I never see swarms of locusts except that I think about the Great Gathering on the Last Day." (Sifah Al-Safwah)   And Sufyan ibn Uyaynah said that Ibrahim at-Taymee said: "I imagined myself in the Hellfire with its iron chains and blazing fire eating from Zaqqoom (a tree in hell with exceedingly bitter fruit), and drinking from its Zamhareer (a bitterly cold drink), so I said "O my soul what do you long for?" It replied "To return to the world and perform a righteous action by which I will be saved form this punishment". I also imagined myself in Paradise with its Hoori dressed in silken garments (of Paradise) with gold embroidery. I said "O my soul! What do you long for?" It said "To return to the world and perform a righteous action by which this reward will increase." So I said to myself "You are in the world and (surrounded by) aspirations". O Allaah, we seek Your refuge from the torment of Jahannum, from its Zamhareer (coldness) as well as Haruur (heat). Ameen.      Permission is granted to circulate among private individuals and groups, to post on Internet sites and to publish in full text and subject title in not-for-profit publications. __,_._,___

Fw: [AllahoAkbarGroup] Treating Christmas with Respect

-------Original Message------- From: Adil ibn Manzoor Khan Date: 16-12-2012 04:28:48 PM Subject: [AllahoAkbarGroup] Treating Christmas with Respect   In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate   "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"   Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.      Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'Ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu   Treating Christmas with Respect By Abdul Malik Mujahid Christmas is an annual Christian religious holiday commemorating the birth of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him. For many Muslims who even do not celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it becomes an issue of what stand they should take.    There have been a number of legitimate criticisms of the holiday from Muslims and non-Muslims based on theological and cultural considerations. However, this cannot be used to disregard the holiday as merely an exercise in ancient pagan practices, for instance, or excessive consumerism. Muslims have to remember that for practicing Christians, Christmas really is about Jesus.    Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was so accommodating of Christians that according to the two earliest Islamic historians, Ibn e Saad and Ibn Hisham, the Prophet even allowed a delegation of 60 Byzantine Christians from Najran in Yemen to worship in his own mosque in Madinah. Lead by their bishop (Usquf), they had come to discuss a number of issues with him. When time of their prayer came, they asked the Prophet's permission to perform this in the mosque. He answered, "conduct your service here in the mosque. It is a place consecrated to God." Read more The visit of Najran Christians God expects us to stay away from mocking the religious beliefs of others, no matter how much we disagree with them. He says in the Quran: "And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides God, lest they insult God wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair-seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do" (Quran, 6:108).    We also have to remember that even if for many nominal Christians, the celebration is not really about participating in religious traditions, Christmas is a time for families to get together. In a number of cases it is the only time of year families get together, either because family members are scattered in different parts of the country or the world, because of communication and relationship problems, or because in America today, the family unit is becoming weaker and weaker.    Christmas is a great time to relate to our neighbors. We should not forget though, that "relating" does not mean "preaching". Dawah cannot be made in a rude manner. Allah says in the Quran: "Invite (all) to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful advice, and reason with them by ways that are the best and most gracious: because your Lord knows best, (those) who have strayed from His Path, and those who receive guidance " (Quran, 16:125).    In particular, when dealing with Jews and Christians, Allah says: "Do not argue with the People of the Book unless it is in the politest manner, except for those of them who do wrong. Say: 'We believe in what has been sent down to us and what has been sent down to you. Our God and your God is [the same] One, and we are Muslims before Him'" (Quran, 29:46).    This may not be an occasion to emphasis the differences as much as the commonality of our beliefs, unless someone is really asking you about them.    A starting point for a discussion about Christmas could be the Islamic belief in all Books revealed by Allah and all Prophets sent by Him. In this discussion, special emphasis could be made on Prophet Jesus. Non-Muslims are often surprised to discover that Muslims also believe in their noble Prophet and his great mother Mary (peace be upon her).   Source : http://www.soundvision.com/info/christmas/ctreat.asp     Permission is granted to circulate among private individuals and groups, to post on Internet sites and to publish in full text and subject title in not-for-profit publications.

Fw: [AllahoAkbarGroup] 2nd Month of Islamic Calendar... Safar al-Muzaffar [English]

-------Original Message------- From: Noori Date: 13-12-2012 09:39:38 PM Subject: [AllahoAkbarGroup] 2nd Month of Islamic Calendar... Safar al-Muzaffar [English] Safar al-Muzaffar is the second month of the Islamic calendar. Literal meaning of Safar is empty. During this month the houses used to be empty and deserted because the ban on going to war in the month of Muharram came to an end and everyone proceeded towards the battlefield. Safar also means to be yellow. When the names of the months were being given it was the season of autumn and the leaves of the trees were yellow.   Many people have erroneous beliefs regarding this month I.e. It is a month of misfortune and calamities. The teachings of Allah Ta'ala and His Most Beloved Rasool (SallAllahu Alaihi WA Sallam) gives us clear guidelines on such incorrect beliefs. Allah (Subhanahu WA Ta'ala) says in the Qur'an al-Kareem: ما أصاب من مصيبة إلا بإذن الله "No misfortune befalls except by Allah's command..." [Surah Tagabun, Verse 11] These erroneous beliefs have also been condemned in the context of the following Ahadith: لا عدوى ولا طيرة ولا هامة ولاصفر There is no superstitious owl, bird, no star-promising rain, no bad omen in the month of Safar. [Sahih Bukhari, Hadith 5707] لا عدوى ولا صفر ولا غول There is no bad omen in the month of Safar and no Ghouls (evil spirits). [Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2222] The above Ahadith clearly refutes all incorrect beliefs and superstitions regarding the month of Safar. These incorrect beliefs flow from the pre-Islamic period of Jahiliyyah . The Month of Safar during the Days of Ignorance The Muhaddithin have recorded many of the superstitions harboured by the Arabs during the Days of Ignorance. A few are mentioned below: 1. The pre-Islamic Arabs believed Safar to be a snake which lives in the stomach of a human being and when hungry, bites the person. This is the discomfort one experiences when gripped by the pangs of hunger. 2. Some said Safar are worms which originate in the liver and ribs due to which the colour of the person becomes yellow, a condition we know today as jaundice. 3. According to some, the month of Safar flanked by Muharram and Rabi al Awwal is full of calamities and misfortune. With the advent of Islam and the teachings of Sayyadina Rasoolullah (SallAllaho Alaihi WA Sallam), all evil and incorrect beliefs common in pre-Islamic times were discarded. Incorrect Beliefs: Today too, there are some Muslims who hold incorrect beliefs regarding the month of Safar. 1. A nikah performed in this month would not be successful. 2. This month is full of misfortune and calamities. 3. To commence any important venture, business etc. During this month will bring bad luck. 4. The first to the thirteenth of Safar is ill-fortune and evil. 5. The person who distributes food or money on the 13th of Safar will be saved from its ill-fortune. 6. To celebrate the last Wednesday of Safar and regard it as a holiday. What to do: 1. To shun all types of erroneous beliefs regarding the blessed month of Safar. 2. To understand that the most unfortunate person is he who disobeys Allah Ta'ala's commandments e.g. Does not perform the five daily salaah etc. It is narrated in a hadith that Rasoolullah (SallAllaho Alaihi WA Sallam) said: "Pray, 0 Allah! Cause not anyone of us to be a wretched destitute." He then asked: "Do you know who is a wretched destitute?" Upon the request of the Sahabah (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhum) he replied, "A wretched destitute is he who neglects his salaat." 3. We should understand that all conditions which befalls us, good or bad, favourable, or unfavourable are from Allah Ta'ala, (as a result of our actions). Allah Ta'ala says: " Whatever misfortune befalls you, it is due to the things your hands have wrought, and He forgives many a sin." (Surah 42 - Verse 30). This can also be confirmed by the following Hadith: Sayyadina Jabir (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu) has said that, "I have heard Sayyadina Rasoolullah (SallAllaho Alaihi WA Sallam) saying, the descending of illness and evil superstition befalling in the month of Safar is untrue."   Important dates and Anniversaries in the month of Safar 1st Hadrat Haji Waris Ali Shah 1st Hadrat Abul Qasim Shah Ismail Hasan Marehrawi 1st Hadrat Khwaja Shah Muhammad Suleman Tonswi 5th Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Maymoonah 6th Hadrat Sayyid Abdullah Shah Qadiri (Baba Bulleh Shah) 7th Sayyiduna Baha al-Din Zakariya Multani Suharwardi 9th Sayyiduna Imam Ali Moosa 9th Sayyiduna Imam Ali Rida 10th Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Juwairiyah bint al-Harith 11th Mufassir al-Aazam Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim Rida Jilani Miyan 11th Shaykh al-Quran Allama Gulam Ali Ashrafi Okarvi 12th Sayyidatuna Ruqaiyyah bint Rasoolullah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam 12th Hadrat Mawlana Fadl al-Haq Khayrabadi 12th Hadrat Shah Abd al-Latif Bhittai 13th Hadrat Abu Abd ar-RaHman Ahmad Nisai (Compiler Sunan al-Nasai) 14th Hadrat Sayyiduna Maalik Ibn Dinar 16th Raees al-Qalam Allama Arshadul Qadiri 19th Hadrat Sayyid Ahmed Kalpawi 20th Hadrat Sayyiduna Yahya Ibn Bukayr 23rd Hadrat Sayyiduna Imam Baqir 23rd Hadrat Sayyiduna Sultan Mehmood Ghaznavi 23rd Mawlana Muhammad Saleem Qadiri Shaheed 25th Mujaddid al Aa'zam AlaHadrat ash-Shah Imam Ahmad Rida Khan 26th Hadrat Sayyiduna Hasan Jilani al-Baghadi 27th Hadrat Imam Badr al-Din Al-Ayni [Shaarih al-Bukhari] 27th Hijrat from Makkah of the Beloved Prophet (SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam) 27th Mujahid al-Kabeer Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi 27th Birth Hadrat Khawaja Nizamuddin Awliya 28th Martyrdom of Hadrat Sayyiduna Imam Hasan Ibn Sayyiduna Ali 29th Hadrat Imam ar-Rabbani Mujaddid Alf Thaani Shaykh Ahamd Sarhindi 29th Hadrat Sayyiduna Pir Mahr Ali Shah Gilani Golarrwi 30th Hafidh al-Hadith Imam Muhammad Haakim Nishapuri   Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhum Ajma'een (May Allah be well please with them All) __,_._,___
