A veiled woman who had her child cradled to her chest stood crying in a monastery (Darbr). A boy approached the woman and sympathetically asked her the reason for her crying. She

replied, Son! My husband passed away from this world with the desire to witness the beauty of his son. At that time, this child was in the womb and up until now he was the survivor of his father and the principal of my life. He had suddenly fallen ill so I brought him to this monastery for spiritual cure, but he died on the way. However, I have still presented myself here whilst maintaining great hope, because I know that the saint of this monastery is very close to Allah and anything is possible via his blessed gaze, but the saint has advised me to observe patience and has gone inside.

After saying this, the woman started weeping again, the boys heart softened and he proclaimed the following merciful words, Your baby is not dead, he is still alive. Look! He is breathing. Without any hesitation the saddened mother moved the blanket from her childs corpse and to her amazement, she found that he was alive and playing with his hands and feet. At that moment the saint of the monastery came out; witnessing the baby alive, he understood what had taken place. The saint got his stick and approached the boy and said, You have started revealing the secrets inscribed by the Holy Pen so early.

The boy ran into the direction of the graveyard and the aged saint ran behind him. Upon entering the graveyard the boy shouted, O people of the graveyard! Please help me. When the saint reached the graveyard he was shocked to see that 300 corpses had come out from their graves and had shielded the boy who

was stood with a smile on his moonlit face. The saint looked at the boy with great sorrow and said, Son! I cannot achieve your rank and therefore I surrender myself before you according to your will.

My dear Islamic brothers! Do you know who that boy was? The boys name was Abd-ul-Qdir who later became famous through the title of Ghau-ul-Aam % and that saint was his maternal grandfather Sayydun Abdulla Sawma.

2. Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % came into this world on Monday, the first of Raman-ul-Mubrak at the time of dawn. His lips were moving slowly and he was heard saying Allah , Allah .

(Al-aqiq fil adiq, pp. 139)

3. On the day of his birth, 1100 boys were born in Jln Sharf and all of them became Saints of Allah. (Tarkh-ul Khir, p. 15)

4. Ghau-ul-Aam % kept the first fast on the day he % was born. He % did not feed on his mothers milk until sunset. He % kept all the fasts of that month. (Bajat-ul-Asrr, pp. 172)

5. When Ghau-ul-Aam % was made to sit with

a saint to practise his first recitation of 9 ( at the age of

five years, he recited - and 9 ( and then recited from

the first Para to the 18th Para of the Holy Qurn. The saint said, Son! Recite ahead. He % replied, This is all what I memorized because my mother also memorized this much. When I was in my mothers womb, my mother would recite up to the 18th Para so I had memorized this much by listening to her. (Al-aqiq fil adiq, p. 140)

6. Whenever he % would intend to play, he % would hear a divine voice, O Abd-ul-Qdir! We have not created you for playing. (Al-aqiq fil adiq, p. 140)

What is Karmat (Marvel)?

Dear Islamic brothers! Sometimes when thinking about Karma manifested by the friends of Allah , a person becomes victim to evil whispers by attempting to judge them according to his own intellect and therefore becomes misguided. Remember! A Karmt is such an exceptional manifestation which human intellect cannot comprehend i.e. which cannot be executed by physical means.

With the bestowment of Allah , the saints 3 get the ability to manifest such wonders. Ir is the manifestation of a prodigy atypical to norms through a Prophet before [the declaration of] his Prophethood; and if it is manifested after the declaration of Prophethood, then it is called Mujiza. If a similar unusual prodigy is manifested by a Wal, then it is called Karma. It is called Manat if exhibited by a Mmin (True Believer). If such a wonder happens to be performed by a Kfir (unbeliever) or an open-sinner, then it is termed as Istidrj.

Ghau-ul-Aam eliminates Epilepsy

Once a man came into the honourable court of Sayyidun Ghau-ul-Aam % and entreated that his wife was suffering from Epilepsy. Ghau-ul-Aam % responded, Whisper in her ear that Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % commands that depart from Baghdad. As a result, she was cured in that instant. (Bajat-ul-Asrr, pp. 140-141)

Epilepsy is a form of jinn

The well of Ghau-ul-Aam

Once in Baghdad Sharf, the disease of plague broke out and people began to die of it. The people of Baghdad Sharf went to Ghau-ul-Aam % and requested him for his help. He % advised them to Eat the grass of the fields around my Madrasa, and drink the water from my well,

you will be cured of every disease. The grass and the water from the well began to cure the people to such an extent that the plague set off from Baghdad completely and it never broke out again. (Tafr-ul Khir, pp. 43)

It is reported in abqt-tul Kubr that Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % has said: Whoever walked past my Madrasa, his torment will be curtailed on the Day of Judgment.

Marriage procession that drowned

Once Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % was walking along the riverbank where he saw an old woman weeping. One of his disciples informed him that that the woman had an only child. She had just got him married, but while the marriage procession was returning home, the boat tipped over and sank drowning the bride and the groom with it. Although it has been 12 years today since that incident occurred, her misery has not reduced, she comes to this river everyday and weeps on not finding that procession.

Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % felt sympathetic towards that woman and raised his hands in the court of Allah , a few moments passed but nothing occurred. Feeling some concern, he % asked, O Allah why is there delay? It was said, O my loved one! This delay is not against destiny

and fate, if we had desired, the earth and the sky would have been created with a single order, but due to wisdom they were created in six days. It has been 12 years since the procession drowned, the boat and the passengers are both non-existent, the sea creatures have eaten the flesh of the humans; the constituents of the bodies have been collected and put into the bodies and now it is time for their arrival.

Those words had not yet been concluded when all of a sudden the boat appeared with all of its features, the bride, the groom and the rest of the wedding procession all soon sailed to the riverbank. All the passengers of the boat went home happily after taking well-wishes from Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam

% . On hearing the marvel a large number of non-believers embraced Islam on the blessed hands of Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % . (Suln-ul-Akr f Manqib-e-Ghau-ul-Abrr)

Can a human revive the dead?

Dear Islamic brothers! Life and death are certainly under the authority of Allah , but if Allah wills to bestow the power of revival to His chosen servants then this is not difficult for

Corpse of a Child

10

Him to do so. If we admit someone else bringing a dead person back to life by the bestowal of Allah , it will not lose our faith. If someone has come and whispered the evil thoughts from Satan into you that only Allah can raise the dead, then he is going against the teachings of the Holy Qurn. It has been stated clearly in the Holy Qurn that Sayydun s cured the sick and revived the dead. It is stated in Sra l-e-Imrn, Verse 49 that Sayydun s said:

yehfinal

yehfinal

And I heal him who was born blind,

and the leper and I revive the dead by Allahs command.

[Kanz-ul-mn (Translation of Quran) (Part 3, Sra Al-e-Imrn, verse 49)]

Hopefully this evil thought would have perished out, because a Muslim has a firm belief about everything that is stated in the Holy Qurn and he does not accept anything which is contradictory to it. Allah bestows His chosen servants with supernatural power and through them He reveals marvels which are beyond our intellect. No doubt, the intellect of worldly people cannot comprehend the magnitude of the power of the beloved ones of Allah .

Scientists vision

Albert Einstein has been labelled as the most leading scientist and he has said, 'I have seen a galaxy through a radio telescope, which is 20 million light years away from us. Light which travels at a speed of 1 million and 86 thousand miles per second will reach there in 20 million years. I would not be able to find out where the border of the universe is even if I live for a million years.

Punishment to a heretic murderer

The following is an event which occurred in India, a long time after Ghau-ul-Aams demise, read it and rejoice. At the time when Ranjt Singh ruled India, there was a so-called Muslim who did not have any belief in the powers of saints of Allah .

He fell in love with a married Hindu woman. Once her husband was taking her to her parents house when lust took over him and he started chasing them on a horse. Soon they came to a deserted place, with the couple on foot and the lover approaching on a horse. In an effort to express outward sympathy he asked them to sit behind him on the horse, but they refused.

The lover began to insist and said, At least permit your wife to sit behind otherwise the poor lady will get tired. The Hindu man became aware of the mans bad intentions, so he asked him to provide some sort of surety that he would take his wife to her destination without any harm. He replied, Where could I get you a surety from in this jungle?

The woman replied, Muslims have great faith in Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam %, give him as a surety. Even though he did not have faith in Ghau-ul-Aam % , thinking to himself that nothing will be lost if he accepted, he gave his word. As soon as the woman mounted onto the horse, that tyrant cut off her husbands head with his sword and made the horse run as fast as he could.

The heartbroken woman was upset and kept turning and looking behind. The lover told her that she would not gain anything by looking behind as her husband could not come back. The woman replied, I am looking at the king of saints. Upon hearing, the lover laughed and said, The king of saints died many years ago; how can you see him now? As soon as he said this two elderly men appeared; one of whom beheaded the heretic lover. Then they brought the woman and the horse to the place where her husband was lying dead. One of the men picked up the head, put it back onto the shoulders and said, Get up with the command of Allah . At that very instant the man came back to life. Following that incident the elderly men disappeared.

The husband and wife rode back home on the horse. The relatives of the murdered lover recognised the horse, so they filed a suit in the court of Ranjt Singh against the couple, on the basis that they had the horse and their man was missing so they most probably murdered him. The couple related the whole incident that took place in the jungle before the court. They said that one of the old men looked like the famous Majb1 Gul Muhammad Sh ib. The court summoned Gul Muhammad Sh to attend the court and when he arrived, he explained the incident word by word to the court.

1 Majb is a person who is so much overwhelmed by remembrance of Allah that he becomes unconscious of his surroundings.

Everyone at the court was amazed to hear the thriving marvel of Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % . The case was dismissed and both of them were set free and were rewarded with many favours and respects by Ranjt Singh.

70 Times wet dream

A disciple of Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % had 70 wet dreams due to a number of different women in a single night. After having the ritual bath in the morning, he went to see his Murshid, Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % to tell him about the incident which took place last night. Before he could utter anything, Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % himself said, Dont worry about the incident of last night.

I had a glance at Lau-e-Maf (the Secured Tablet); you were destined to commit fornication with 70 different women. I therefore prayed in the court of Allah to change your destiny and save you from those sins. As a result, those incidents relayed in the form of wet dreams. (Bajat-ul-Asrr, p. 193)

Sayings of Ghau-ul-Aam * ( )

Dear Islamic brothers! From this we learn that we should become the disciple of a Murshid-e-Kmil (A Perfect Saint). Afflictions are terminated by the attention of a Murshid and sometimes severe afflictions are turned into mild ones. It is narrated in Bajat-ul-Asrr that the Saint of Saints, Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % has said, I have been given a very big register which contains the names of all of my companions and my disciples to come until the Day of Judgement, and I have been told that all these people have been handed over to me.

He % has said: I asked Sayydun Malik % , the gatekeeper of Hell, Is any of my disciples in the fire of Hell? He % replied, No. Ghau-ul-Aam % further said, I swear by Allah that my helping hand shelters my disciples in the same way as the sky shelters the earth. Even if

my disciples are not virtuous, I am virtuous and I swear by the One that created me that I will not leave the court of my Rab until I make every disciple of mine enter into Heaven. (Bajat-ul-Asrr, pp. 193)

Splendid Karmt

Abul Muaffar Hassan was a merchant who presented himself in the court of Sayydun Sheikh ammd 8 and said to him, Your honour! I am going with a caravan to Syria for trading. Please pray for me. Sayydun Sheikh ammd 8 replied, "Cancel your plans for this trip, for if you go robbers will take your goods and kill you. Hearing that, the merchant became very upset and as he returned home he met Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % who asked him, Why are you upset? Abul Muaffar explained the whole incident. Ghau-ul-Aam % replied, Do not worry, travel to Syria;

all will be fine.

Therefore he set off on his journey to Syria, and the business turned out to be very profitable. He returned to alab (Aleppo), the city of Syria with a pouch full of 1000 gold coins. Unfortunately, he misplaced the pouch of coins and in that worry he fell asleep. He saw a very frightening dream in which robbers had attacked the caravan, taken all the goods and also murdered him. He then woke up terrified and saw that there was not any robber of any sort around him. Suddenly he recalled where he had left the pouch of coins; he went there immediately and found them.

On happily returning to Baghdad Sharf, he wondered whether to first meet Ghau-ul-Aam % or Sheikh ammd

8 . Coincidently on his journey back he met Sayydun Sheikh ammd 8 who upon seeing him advised, First go and meet Ghau-ul-Aam % because he is the beloved of Allah , he prayed for you seventeen times so Allah changed your destiny from what I had prophesied about. Due to the blessings of Ghau-ul-Aams prayers, Allah replaced the incident that would have taken place with you in reality with a dream. The merchant presented himself in the court of Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam %. Upon seeing him, Ghau-ul-Aam % informed, Indeed, I prayed for you seventeen times. He % added, I prayed for you seventy times; for each time I prayed seventeen times.

He replied, Yes. Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam % became quiet and the young man returned home. The following day the young man happily returned and said, O friend of Allah , I saw my late father again in my dream, he was wearing a green gown and was very happy, he told me, With the prayer of Sayydun Sheikh Abdul Qdir Jln % the torment of the grave has been terminated and I have also been granted this green gown. My dear son! Remain in servitude to Ghau-ul-Aam %. Hearing that, Sayydun Ghau-ul-Aam
