A Tribute to Hazrat Maulana (RA)

In this poem, Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (MZ) praises Hazrat Maulana (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ):

“In Durban, is a servant of Deen, Molvi Yunus
Who is the means of propagating my cry and pain
(of the love of Allah Ta’ala)
And who interprets the pain of my heart into English,
And then spreads it in the west, as is the demand of Imaan.”

Hazrat further explains : In this beautiful city, resides a very faithful and pious servant of Allah Ta’ala, who serves the Deen with great devotion. He is Maulana Yunus Patel.

Maulana (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) was endowed with the mantle of Khilafat and Ijaazat by Hazrat.

By listening to Maulana (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ)’s talks, one realizes that these lines of poetry, composed by an Aarif Billah, are so apt in regards to Maulana.

Maulana Yunus had become the translator and the means of transmitting and spreading the concern, cry and pain that Hazrat has. Maulana had been conveying the knowledge which he had attained from Hazrat in an excellent manner.

Due to the fact that English is one of the most commonly spoken languages in South Africa – as well as the rest of the world, Maulana Yunus, with that same pain and cry, imparted Hazrat’s lectures, advices and sayings in an outstanding, exceptional and impressive manner. Maulana’s tongue was the translator of the burning love for Allah Ta’ala that Hazrat Wala possesses. It was as if his heart was talking.

Maulana’s special task was to convey Hazrat Wala’s teachings to the western world, via the means of the internet, radio, or in the written or spoken form. It was regarding this kind of dissemination of Hazrat's teachings that Hazrat said: This is the demand of faith (Imaan) and the true fulfilment of the relationship towards one's spiritual mentor.

Maulana Yunus Patel had the honour of accompanying Hazrat on his travels both locally and internationally : Johannesburg, Cape Town, London, Mauritius, and other parts of the world.

When Hazrat was proceeding to Turkey, with the intention of visiting the mausoleum of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ), in the company of many Khulafa, Mureedeen and Khuddaam, Maulana (رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ) also prepared to accompany him. However, just before the impending trip, Maulana suffered a major heart attack on the 10th of Muharram and could not accompany Hazrat.

During this period of recovery, Maulana saw a dream, which has been recorded in Hazrat’s book “Tarbiyat Aashiqaan-e- Khuda”. The dream, with its interpretation, is reproduced hereunder:

Dear and most honourable mentor,

As-Salaamu ‘alaykum waRahmatullahi waBarakaatuh

I had a dream wherein I see Hazrat residing in some part of England. When I arrived, I met respected Ishrat Jameel Meer Saheb at the door. He said to me, “Hasten, as Hazrat is waiting for you.”

I hurried to Hazrat. Smiling at me, Hazrat extended both arms and embraced me. I then requested that Hazrat transfer ‘something’ (some of the burning love for Allah Ta’ala that Hazrat possesses) from his heart to mine.
Hazrat replied, “I am doing so.”

Hazrat then instructed me to align my heart with his. I complied by bringing my heart in line with that of Hazrat’s heart until I could feel Hazrat’s heartbeat in tandem with my heartbeat.

The sound of “Allah Allah” was emanating from Hazrat’s heart. Hazrat then began saying “Allah Allah” with his tongue. After a short while “Allah Allah” began emanating from my heart and thereafter, upon my tongue.

After a while, thinking that Hazrat must be getting tired, I tried to end the embrace, but Hazrat tightened his grip. …I then awakened from my sleep.

When my eyes opened, my heart was racing, and for some time thereafter, “Allah Allah” was resounding from my heart. After this I felt that my body had gained strength. I felt rejuvenated and at total peace.

It is my hope that Hazrat will interpret this dream of mine.

Reply from Hazrat Wala:

Respected Maulana Yunus Patel
(May your status and your desire for good increase)

Wa ‘alaykumus Salaam waRahmatullahi waBarakaatuh,

On reading your letter, I was overtaken by a state of ecstasy.
The interpretation of this dream is that of acquiring the spiritual rank of “Nisbat Ittihaadiyyah” (The highest form of spiritual connection with one’s Shaykh). Insha’Allah, through you, the flames of the love of Allah Ta’ala will be ignited in the hearts of the servants of Allah. Congratulations!
May Allah bless you, your family and all of us as well.
