Imam-e-Rabbani Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sa'ani, Sarhindi
Parentage: Name Sheikh Ahmad, title Mujaddid Alif Sa'ani, son of
Makhdoom Sheikh Abdul Ahad, scholar as well an activist of the
Farouqi Chistia Order, decedent of Umar Farouqi, Second Caliph,
with twenty eight links in the chain, was born in the year 971 Hijri
at Sirhind in Punjab. It is said that the territory of Sirhind was a
dense forest abound with lions so named as Sher-e-Hind which
when mutilated became Sirhind.
Intrinsic Studies: His father made him proficient in material or
outer studies as well as intrinsic or spiritual studies or training, then
he bestowed upon him the robe of heir and passed away from this
world in peace.
His association with Hazrat Baqi Billah: With the intention of
proceeding on the haj pilgrimage, he wet out from Sirhind to Delhi
and stayed with Maulana Hasan Kashmiri and from his he heard of
the virtue of Khawaja Baqi Billah. This aroused in him an intense
wish fo see him. When he saw him he was deliged to meet him and
gave up the idea of pilgrimage and got engaged in spiritual training
under the guidance of Khawaja Baqi Billah for three months.
Hazrat Khawaja Baqi Billah, RA was so much impressed with the
spiritual powers of him that he decided to award him the robe (
Khirka ) of his heir.
His stay in Sirhind and Spiritual Movement:On his return from
Delhi to Sirhind he drew a detailed and extensive programme for
the moral and spiritual awakening of the people along with
introduced teaching and sermonizing. Not much time had elapsed
that he was again called to Delhi and received two letters one after
the other at short intervals. He went there. Hazrat Khawaja made
him guardian of his children. This was their last meeting. After this
the Mujaddid returned to Sirhind. Hazrat Baqi-Billah passed away
in the meantime. The Mujaddid was in Lahore. When news reached
him, he set out to Delhi immediately, paid homage to him at his
grave and stayed for a short period of time.
The Mujaddidi's Deeds:During the reign of Akbar, in the tenth
century Hijri, Islam was passing through a lean period; was under
seige of blasphemy, atheism, and irreligious. Akbar was providing
state patronage to Deen-e-Ilahi and was practicing un-Islamic rites.
Fire, trees, and water were worshipped. At this juncture. Islam
needed a fearless believer to defend it against the onslaught. He did
not permit the opportunist scholars and the misguided emperor to
garner strength and kept the torch of truth burning in such trying
times.
Books: Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sa'ani was a great writer but his letter
proved more popular than his books. These letters translated in
Urdu, not only express his opinion on various issues but are also
fine pieces of language and style. Besides them following are some
of the titles of his books:
-Mobada-o-Ma'ad.
--Ma'arife-ladqiya.
---Makashifaat-e-ghebia.
----Sharah Rubaeyat-e-Hazrat Khawaja Baqi-Billah.
-----Risala-Telilia.
------Risala Isbat-ul-Nabuwwat.
-------Risala Basilsila-e-Aha'dis.
Revelations and Miracles: One day a man told him that his relative
was grievously ill and requested to pray for him. He hesitated a
little and said it was not proper to pray for health to the deceased.
Hearing this he went out crying and when he reached his village he
found his relative dead and the people were crying.
Death: He suffered from the Arthritis that took its toll. He died on 9
Rabi-ul-Awwal 1079 Hijri.
