Dastarkhwan was spread.. I saw some delicious looking haleem.. dahi bare and samosas with kheer laid out.. I never refuse even a glass of water at the place of ulema and mashaikh..( though Im not fond of social gatherings and stuff) Im inspired by imam shafii (rah) who ate to his flll when halal food was served at his friends place.. subhan Allah.. they really have a lasting effect on ibadah.


The mention of Hazrat Maulana Faqeer Muhammed sahab (rah) moistened his eyes.. he asked me if I ever saw him.. I shook my head in negative.. said that while in Madrassa binnori Town .. whenever they would hear someone crying profusely from the 1st row of masjid towards extreme rt.. they would know that Hazrat Maulana Faqeer Muhammed sahab (rah) has arrived.. it seems his cheeks bore marks due to excessive crying…



I asked him how did he meet Dr. Abdus salam sahab db.. said that many yrs back he was practicing here and engaged in work of tableegh..and spreading his silsila.. so to caution him there was a mashwara and maulana was made the mutakallim..



Maulana asked him whom he was bayat to.. he told the name of Hazrat Maulana Khaleefa Ghulam Rasool Sahab (rah).. then took out a diary containing the malfoozat of hazrat khaleefa sahab (rah) and began to read.. an ajeeb kaifiyat over took maulana.. he felt the colour of Mutaqaddimeen sulook in his malfuzaat.. all the while he felt that such buzurgs existed somewhere deep in jungles doing khilwat or hidden in caves up the mountains.. inacessable to people.. and here it is that I come across one such wali Allah.. he asked Dr.sahab where and how he could meet Hazrat Khaleefa sahab (rah) .. said that he stays at dera Ismail khan , dehat - laal mahida.



They made plans to meet him together in the vacation that year. with dr sahab db as the guide, they set out from Raiwind markaz after isha to Lahore .. and from there took a bus for Dera Ismail khan .they prayed Fajr at Madrassa Naumaniya, Dera ismail khan. The Muhtamim Sahab was Shaikhul Hadees Hazrat Maulana Alauddin sahab db a student of Shaikhul Islam Hazrat Maulana Syed Hussain Ahmed Madani sb Nawwar Allahu marqadahu.. hazrat served them breakfast.. and after some brief rest they again set out on the blessed journey..



From the city they had taken along provisions for food and drink as he was told that hazrat (rah) lived in extreme poverty and austerity.. this made a mark on his heart and increased the love for him..



When they reached his village he found the road to be nothing but of mud and his house very simple.. they feared the road to be closed due to heavy rains.

At last they entered his house..



While seated maulana felt his impatience growing every second to meet hazrat.. then entered a frail looking human supported by two people.. maulana kissed his forehead and hands.. dr sahab introduced him and hazrat seemed to feel happy at the mention of Madinat Rasool salallahu alaihi wasallam.. and put his head down.. then he started to speak on the love of Hazrat Rasooulullah salallau alaihi wasallam.. at this meeting or on some other meeting he said



' Mera salaam Madine ki galiyon .. deewaron.. pahadon ko kah dena.. kyon ke in pahadon pe mere Aqaa salallahu alaihi wa sallam ki nazar padhi hai.. , wo ardhe muqqaddas, muqaddas zameen aur shahar hai.. bada pyaara mulk hai Allah ta'ala aap ko adab ki taufeeq de.. Madine ke kutton ko apne se aala samjho..Maulana Qasim Nanotawi (rah) ne farmaya Aye Allah ! mujhe madine ke kutton me shumar karna.. aap ka maqam muhajireen ka hai.. aap ne Karachi se Madina munawwara hijrat ki hai .. humare liye humesha dua karte raha karo.. jab bhi durbar e nabuwwat me haaziri ho .. dubar e nabuwwat me salat o salam ardh karo.. yaron ko bhi salam kahdo..Baqee walo ko.. azwaj e mutahharat razi allau tala anhuma.. Shaikhul Hadees Qutub ul aqtab ko mera salam arz karo.. Uhud ke pahadon ko bhi mera salam do.. Ashaab e Uhud rizwanullah ta'ala ajmaen ko bhi mera salam do.. agar Isa alaih salam ka nuzool aap ki zindagi me hojaye ..in ko bhi mera salaam kaho ..'



Said that his house was so remotely placed that even Dr sahab db would find difficult to locate .. said that once dr sahab db reached his village after dark.. and somehow became lost searching for his house.. then.. After sometime he saw a tube like light raised high quite faraway.. he followed the light to the house and saw to his bewilderment that Hazrat (rah) was in muraqabah and a beam of light rose from his chest straight to the sky.. !!



It seems he specialized only in zikr till he reached the age of 60 when he married and became an Alim.. his Ustad was Shaikhul hadees Maulana Alauddin sahab db.. it was funny to see that hazrat (rah) would address him as Ustad and his ustad would address him as hazrat.



He was fond of ahle ilm ba' amal hazraat.. asked once what time he reached Madrassa Naumaniya.. maulana replied at fajar salaat.. he said ..



'" kabhi tahajjud ke waqt madrasse me jao.. aur mere ustad mohtaram Maulana Alauddin damat barakatuhum ki Allah ke saamne giriya zaari ko dekho.. apni safed daadhi ko pakad kar Allah ke saamne pesh karte hue kahte.. Mere Allah..! boodha hoon safed baalon ka waasta deta hoon .. mujhe azaab na karma.. itna rote ke dekhne waalon ko raham aajata.. "





Said that once dars e bukhari of Hazrat Maulana Alauddin sahib db was in progress and hazrat khalifa sb (rah) was in Muraqaba.. he saw that Hazrat Imam bukhari (rah) was seated and was smiling listening to his dars.. after dars he informed Hazrat maulana Alauddin sb (db) of the presence of Imam Bukhari (rah).. Hazrat Maulana db began to weep profusely.. saying I had made dua last night that may Allah (swt) send Imam bukhari (rah) to my dars..
