MANIFESTATION OF ALLAH ATTRACTION

Book’s Preface

He says: I am personally indebted to the Almighty Allah Ta’ala to have guided me across seas, cultures and nations into the guidance of my Respected Shaikh, Shaikh-ul-Arab Wal Ajam Arifbillah Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Damat Barakaatuhum)

My Shaikh’s reputation and standing to the Muslims of the Asian subcontinent needs no introduction.

However, for the benefit of others, Shaikh has been favored by Allah Ta’ala to have been nurtured by three of the greatest and most renowned Wali’s (Saints) of his time. Shaikh’s inclination towards the Creator, the Almighty Allah Ta’ala began before he even reached puberty.

He dedicated his life from before teens in service of those pious servants of Allah Ta’ala whom the world today refers to as Ahlullah (Saints). From the tender age of 12, he began attending discourses of renowned scholars of the time.

 At the age of 15, he took Bayat (pledged allegiance) to the great Wali (Saint) of his time, Hazrat Maulana Shah Muhammad Ahmed Saheb (Rahmatullah Alaihi) and spent three years continuously in his lofty company.

Thereafter, Shaikh was guided to the company of the famous Wali (Saint), Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdul Ghani Phulpuri (Rahmatullah Alaihi), with whom he spent seventeen years. The Shaikh’s service and dedication to his Shaikh is unsurpassable in recent times.

 During the seventeen years with Shaikh Phulpuri (Rahmatullah Alaihi), the nights were spent in a jungle from where no other human sound was heard except for Shaikh Phulpuri’s Zikr (remembrance of Allah Ta’ala).

It was under the tutelage of Shaikh Phoulpuri for seventeen years that Hazrat mastered scholarly work of Mathnawi by Shaikh Rumi.

Shaikh Phoulpuri (Rahmatullah Alaihi) himself was guided by the greatest scholar of recent history, Hakeem ul Ummah Shaikh Ashraf Ali Thanwi (Rahmatullah Alaihi), who in turn was taught the Mathnawi by Shaikh Hajee Imdadullah (Rahmatullah Alaihi).

Shaikh’s discourses permeate the listeners’ hearts with Allah’s love, Greatness and hope of salvation. Every word he utters brings one closer to the Creator, Almighty Allah. His company impresses upon those around him to converge their mental as well as physical ‘being’ into living a life to the Creators criterion. His discourses knows no language, colour or age barriers and even those alien to Urdu benefit. During Ramadhan 1419 (1998/99), a European from Belgium, who could not speak nor understand Urdu, spent the month Ramadhan with Shaikh.

He was occasionally seen mesmerized by the Shaikh’s discourses and tears rolled down his cheeks. When I asked him what was that kept him in Shaikh’s company? He replied, “Shaikh’s words touch my heart and eyes involuntarily weep, thinking of Allah’s Greatness”.

It is because of Shaikh’s great appreciation and understanding of Allah’s qualities that his Shaikh awarded him the title of Arifbillah (One who has become acquainted with Allah’s qualities).

Tajalliat-e-Jazb was a series of lectures in Urdu delivered by the Respected Shaikh in Masjid-e-Ashraf, Karachi, Pakistan.

The lectures were first translated into four booklets and it was felt and requested by many that a single volume would be of greater benefit, which through the mercy of Allah Ta’ala is now ready.

The greatest linguistic difficulty has been in trying to translate Shaikh’s poetry and Maulana Yusuf Gondiwala of South Africa who translated and printed the original four booklets has been instrumental in these.

A further dilemma for any translator is to try and attempt to keep the reader’s attention while not losing the meaning of the original words.

We hope most of the words rendered into English will be acceptable and are as close as possible in meaning to the original words. If any reader prefers a better alternative, their suggestions and assistance will be welcome.

The present written volume merely represents a reflection from the shadow of the original.

Those fortunate individuals who have spent time with the Shaikh will testify that the aura, fervor and exquisite passion with which the Shaikh exudes the Love of Allah Ta’ala cannot be captured by audiocassettes or written words.

Many individuals have contributed towards this final preparation and I once more thank Meer Saheb (Damat Barakaatuhum), Maulana Yusuf Gundiwalla, brother Dawud, Mufti Abdullah of Gloucester, England, who assisted me with the translation of the Islamic terminologies and many others.

May the Almighty, Merciful Allah Ta’ala make this publication a means of salvation and reward in the hereafter for all those who helped.

We humbly request all the readers to remember us and in particular our respected Shaikh, Arifbillah Hazrat Aqdas Maulana Shah Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Saheb (Damat Barakaatuhum) in your Duas. Ismail Adam Patel
