He was the Beloved of Allah, Almighty and Exalted. He was the Spirit of the People of Truth, and he was the Essence of the Spirit of the People of Taste. He was the Kac<\/sup>ba of the Godly and one of the Flags of the Noble Messenger. He elevated the Knowledge of the Religion of Muhammad\u00a0 He was born in 1113 H.\/1701 AD in India. From his childhood the light of Guidance and the Traces of Piety shone from his forehead. His features\u00a0(mazhar)<\/i>\u00a0were molded with the Manifestation of heavenly beauty\u00a0(tajalli-l-jamal)<\/i>. He was famous, like the Prophet Yusuf\u00a0 When Shaykh Mazhar (q) was nine years of age, he saw Sayyidina Ibrahim\u00a0 His father raised him and educated him in all branches of religious knowledge. At a young age his heart was attracted to the spiritual light coming from his Shaykh, as-Sayyid Nur Muhammad. His Shaykh opened the eyes of his heart and fed him from the nectar of the flower of the Hidden Knowledge. The Shaykh took him out of the state of self-awareness and lifted him up to the Highest Stations, which produced in him great astonishment and caused him to faint. When he awoke, he accompanied Shaykh Nur Muhammad in further ascension. The Shaykh allowed him to observe the Mysteries of the Hidden World and gave him gifts from his miraculous Powers and Stations.<\/p>\n One look of his Shaykh opened in him the Nine Points, the loci of the Naqshbandi Secrets. From the knowledge of the nine points, he delved into the secrets contained in the five of the more powerful points, until his Shaykh authorized him to \u201cactivate\u201d the Nine Points at any time and to use them. Then he brought him back down to be in his presence and only in his presence. He brought him up and down, from one stage to another, and enveloped him with his light and protected him with his gaze, until he achieved the ultimate perfection and awakened himself from Ignorance.<\/p>\n He stood fast in serving his Shaykh with complete truthfulness. He continued to progress by entering seclusions in the desert and in the jungle on the orders of his Shaykh. In these seclusions, his only food was grass and the leaves of trees. During his period of asceticism in the desert and jungle, he wore only what would cover his nakedness. One day, after many of these seclusions, he looked in the mirror and didn\u2019t see himself; he saw his Shaykh.<\/p>\n At this stage the Shaykh authorized him to guide Allah\u2019s servants to their destinies and to the Straight Path, and he put him on the Throne of Succession, and by him the Sun of Guidance ascended the Tower of Happiness.<\/p>\n When his teacher passed away, he continued to visit his grave and for two years he received whatever lights and knowledge his master was able to transmit to him from his grave. Then he was ordered through his spiritual connection to his Shaykh to connect himself with a living master.<\/p>\n He reached the Door of the perfect Saints of his time, Shaykh Muhammad Afzal, Shaykh\u00a0 Safi\u00a0 Sa`dullah, and Shaykh Muhammad `Abid. He attached himself to Shaykh Shah Kalshan and to another Shaykh by the name of Muhammad az-Zubair. He used to attend the session of Shaykh Muhammad Afzal, one of the khalifs<\/em> of the son of Muhammad Ma`sum (q). He visited and studied with Shaykh `Abdul Ahad and received from him knowledge of the Prophetic hadith. During this class, whenever the Shaykh would mention a hadith, he would disappear through Self-Effacement, and a vision would come to him in which he would find himself sitting with the Prophet\u00a0 He kept the company of these Shaykhs for twenty years. He progressed further and further in the States of Perfection, until he became an Ocean of Knowledge. He rose in the Firmament of the Qutbs until he became the Qutb of his time, shining like the sun at high noon. Shaykh Muhammad Afzal said, \u201cShaykh Mazhar\u00a0Habibullah was given the state of Qutb and he is the central pivot of this\u00a0tariqat<\/i>\u00a0in this time.\u201d<\/p>\n His spiritual perfection attracted people from all reaches of the Subcontinent. In his presence, each seeker would find what he needed, until through his blessing the Indian Subcontinent became like a Kac<\/sup>ba encircled by flocks of angelic beings.<\/p>\n In his noble person were combined the power of four tariqats. He was a master of the Naqshbandi, Qadiri, Suhrawardi and Chishti Orders. He used to say, \u201cI received the secrets and knowledge of these orders from my Shaykh, Sayyid Nur Muhammad Badawani, until I attained a very distinguished power in these Orders. He lifted me from the\u00a0Ibrahamic<\/i>\u00a0Stage to the\u00a0Muhammadan<\/i>\u00a0Stage, which caused me to see the Prophet\u00a0 Following are some sayings of Shaykh Mazhar (q):<\/p>\n \u201cOnce I was sitting in the presence of Shaykh Muhammad `Abid and the Shaykh said, \u201cThe two suns at the two ends met, and if their lights were combined and spread throughout this universe, they would have burned everything.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShaykh Muhammad Afzal was much older than I but he used to stand up for me when I entered, and he used to say to me, \u2018I am standing in deference to the high lineage that you possess.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis whole world and the entire universe is in my hand, and I can see everything in them, just as clearly as I can see my hand.\u201d<\/p>\n He had innumerable miraculous experiences and numberless visions about the Heavenly world as well as the lower world.<\/p>\n Once he traveled with some of his followers without any food or provision. They walked and whenever they got tired they sat. The Shaykh would call them and say, \u201cThis food is for you,\u201d and tables of food would appear in front of them.<\/p>\n One day during the trip there was a terrible storm and the wind was blowing everything in its path. It was freezing and everyone was shivering because of the cold. Their situation worsened until it appeared that they were going to die in that frozen desert. Then Shaykh Mazhar raised his hands and said, \u201cO Allah make it surround us but not be upon us.\u201d Immediately the clouds lifted from around them, and though the freezing rain continued to fall one mile away, around them the temperature rose to a comfortable level.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cOne time I visited the grave of Shaykh Muhammad\u00a0Hafiz Muhsin. I disappeared from myself and in a vision I saw his body. It had suffered no decomposition, and his shroud was still perfectly clean except for a patch of dirt on one part by his feet. Through my spiritual power, I asked him about that. He said, \u2018O my son I will tell you a story. One day I took a stone from the garden of my neighbor and put it in a hole in my garden, and I said to myself, \u2018in the morning I will return it to him,\u2019 but I forgot. As a result of that action, the dirt has appeared on my shroud. That one action has tainted my shroud.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n He said, \u201cAs long as you are lifted upward in piety you will be lifted up in sainthood.\u201d<\/p>\n One day he became angry at a tyrant and he said, \u201cA vision came to me in which I saw that all Shaykhs, from Abu Bakr as-Siddiq\u00a0 A man came to him and said, \u201cO my master, my brother has been jailed in another village. Please pray to Allah to save him.\u201d He said, \u201cO my son, your brother has not been jailed, but he has done something wrong and tomorrow you will receive a letter from him.\u201d It turned out to be just as he described.<\/p>\n He informed his followers of great tidings and some jealous people refused to accept what he said. He said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t believe me let us bring a judge. We will each tell him our point of view and let him judge between us.\u201d They said \u201cWe don\u2019t accept any judge except the Prophet\u00a0 He said, \u201cExistence is an Attribute of Allah alone. This world is a mere shadow of realities existing in the Divine Presence. The reality of all possible creations\u00a0(haqa\u2019iq al-mumkinat)<\/i>\u00a0results from the action of the Divine Attributes and Qualities on the Void\u00a0(<\/i>c<\/i><\/sup>adm)<\/i>. The Real Existence of all that manifests in physical creation is confirmed as a light in the Divine Presence.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything that appears in the physical creation is a mere shadow of the luminous reality projected by the Divine Qualities upon the void of non-existence. The World of the Divine Attributes\u00a0(sifat)<\/i>\u00a0is the Origin of the Well-springs of the Created Universes\u00a0(mabadi\u2019 ta<\/i>c<\/i><\/sup>ayyunat al-a<\/i>c<\/i><\/sup>lam)<\/i>. Because all physical creation arises from a combination of Allah\u2019s Divine Qualities and the Void, creation thus partakes of two origins of opposite nature. From the nature of the void of non-existence and nothingness arises the dense qualities of physical substance that in the sphere of human action produce darkness, ignorance and evil. From the Divine Attributes comes Light, Knowledge and Good. Thus the Sufi, when he looks at himself sees all that is good in him as a light from the Divine that is reflected on him, but that is not of him. A simile for it would be a borrowed suit of fine clothes with which one is beautifully dressed but that does not truly belong to him and for which he deserves no credit. Conversely, he sees himself as base substance, full of darkness and ignorance, with a nature worse than that of an animal. With this dual perception he loosens his attachment to the attractions of the self and effaces himself, and turns in repentance\u00a0(tawba)<\/i>\u00a0towards the Divine Source of all Good. With this turning, Allah fills his heart with love and yearning for the Divine Presence. As Allah said in a Holy Hadith, \u201cIf My servant approaches Me by one hand\u2019s length I will approach him by one arm\u2019s length; and if he comes to Me walking I will come to him running.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly before his death Shaykh Mazhar (q) was in a state of great emotion and intense love of God. He experienced a great unhappiness at having spent so long in this transient world. He spent his last days in intense contemplation and, when asked, he would always say that his state was that of Annihilation and Existence in Allah Sublime and Exalted. He increased his dhikr in his final days, and as a result of the intense light of attraction generated thereby, thousands and thousand of seekers entered into the tariqat. Each new day would bring three thousand new people to his door, and he would not let one of them go without meeting him. Finally, he became so exhausted that he scheduled only two times a day to meet with people.<\/p>\n One day, one of his followers, Shaykh Mullah Nasim, asked permission to travel and visit his parents in his homeland. He said, \u201cMy son, if you want to go you may, but I may not be here when you return.\u201d This reply went from one mouth to another, shaking the hearts of people, as it indicated that his era was ending. With tearful eyes, and broken hearts, people all around the Punjab began wailing and crying. His house was full and no one knew what was going to happen when he was gone. Then he took a paper and wrote to one of his successors, Mullah Abdur-Razzaq, \u201cO my son, I am now over eighty and my life is coming to its close. Remember me in your prayers.\u201d He sent him that letter and he sent many others the same letter.<\/p>\n Thanking Allah for His Favours he said, \u201cThere is nothing left in my heart of anything that I have wished to achieve or to reach that remains to be accomplished. There is nothing for which I have asked Allah that I did not receive. My only remaining desire is to leave this world and be in His Presence continuously. Allah gave me everything, except permission to go to Him. I am asking Allah to take me to Him today, before tomorrow. But I don\u2019t want to go to Him as an ordinary person. I want to go to him, as Allah described in the Holy Qur\u2019an, as a martyr who is always alive. So, O Allah, make me a martyr in this world and take me to you as a martyr. This kind of death will bring happiness to my heart and will cause me to be in the presence of Your Prophet\u00a0 It was Wednesday evening, the seventh of Muharram, of the year 1195 H\/1780 CE. His servant came to him and said, \u201cThere are three men at your door. They want to visit you.\u201d He said, \u201cLet them enter.\u201d When they entered, he came out of his bedroom and greeted them. One of them said to him, \u201cAre you Mirza Jan Janan\u00a0Habibullah?\u201d He answered, \u201cYes.\u201d The two said to the third, \u201cYes, he is the one.\u201d One of the men took a knife from his pocket and stabbed him in the back, piercing his kidney. Because of his age, he was unable to withstand the severity of the blow and he fell to the ground. When it was time for the Fajr prayer, the King sent him a doctor. He sent back the doctor and said, \u201cI don\u2019t need him. As for the men who stabbed me, I forgive them, because I am glad to die as a martyr and they came as an answer to my prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n He passed from this life on Friday. When the day reached its middle, he read the Quranic chapters\u00a0Fatiha<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Ya Sin<\/i> until Asr time. He asked his followers, how many hours were left until sunset. They told him, \u201cFour hours.\u201d He said, \u201cIt is still long until the meeting with my Lord.\u201d He said, \u201cI have missed ten prayers in my life, all in these past two days, because my body is full of blood and I have been unable to raise my head.\u201d They asked him, \u201cIf a sick person is in such a weak condition, is he obliged to pray with movements of his eyes and his forehead or to postpone his prayer?\u201d He answered, \u201cBoth ways are correct.\u201d He waited with patience for the sunset, and he died. It was the night of Ashura, 1195 H.\/1781 AD. It was the night of Ashura, 1195 AH\/1781 CE. He passed his secret of the Golden Chain\u00a0to his successor, Shaykh Abd Allah ad-Dahlawi<\/a> \u0642.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shamsuddin Habib Allah \u0642 My eyes never beheld anyone more beautiful than you;No woman gave birth to one more handsome,Born faultless as if it was your wish.

. He revived the Way of the Naqshbandi Order.<\/p>\n, for his beauty, and everyone loved him because he represented beauty. That is the attribute of God, about whom the Prophet\u00a0\u00a0said: \u201cGod is beautiful and he loves beauty,\u201d and it is also the attribute of the Prophet\u00a0, about whom Anas\u00a0![\"radiya\"](\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/radiya.gif\")
\u00a0said, \u201cYour Prophet\u00a0 was the most beautiful in appearance and had the best voice of all prophets.\u201d Because of this, Sheikh `Abdur-Ra\u2019uf al-Munawi said, \u201cThe Prophet\u00a0\u00a0has no partner in his beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n, who gave him miraculous powers through spiritual transmission. At this age, if anyone mentioned Abu Bakr as-Siddiq\u00a0\u00a0in his presence, he would see him appear with his physical eyes. He was also able to see the Prophet\u00a0\u00a0and all the\u00a0Companions of the Prophet\u00a0\u00a0as well as all the Shaykhs of the Naqshbandi Order, especially Sayyidina Ahmad al-Faruqi.<\/p>\n\u00a0and hearing the hadith directly from the Prophet\u00a0.

We will ask the Prophet\u00a0\u00a0to give his Judgment now.\u201d He entered a deep state of contemplation in his heart and was told to read the Fatiha. This he did, and immediately the Prophet\u00a0\u00a0appeared to everyone and said, \u201cAl-Mazhar\u00a0 Habibullah is right and all of you are wrong.\u201d<\/p>\nAbout Creation<\/h4>\n
