Jo Kuch Ke Dil Mein Tamanna Thi Sab Huwi Hasil, Suna Jo Sab Ne Ke Motil Maram Aate Hain

Eight years had passed since Burhanuddin Moula RA had last visited Karachi. One can apprehend the thirst and desire. Only one prayer prevailed over the hearts of mumineen; “moula karachi padharo”.

In the year 1433, a few days before the Urus Mubarak of Sayyedi Abdulqadir Hakimuddin QR, I had a dream.

I was present in the bethak of Moulana Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS, then Mansoos of Burhanuddin Moula RA, with an audience of mumineen around me. Just as I was trying to rehearse an araz to Moula TUS to visit Karachi, Mufaddal Moula TUS blessed me with a sight of acknowledgement and asked mumineen around him in an affirming tone; “Sayyedi Abdulqadir Hakimuddin nu urus kivare aave che? kivare aave che? Khabar che? Kivare aave che?”. 

Suddenly a sense of confusion triggered around. No one was able to react. Availing the opportunity, I somehow managed to utter; “moula urus na 2 din baad maaru waras che!”. Moula TUS responded back with a smile, and the dream ended.

As I woke up in the morning, I was enchanted by the fortune of having an audience with Moula TUS. Although, I was completely unaware of what Moula TUS meant when He TUS inquired about the Urus Mubarak.

Until a few days later, on the very day of the Urus Mubarak of Sayyedi Abdulqadir Hakimuddin QR, Mufaddal Moula TUS visited Karachi. It was then when I immediately recalled the dream.

Moula hears us.

With this belief in hearts, we gathered yesterday, on the Urus Mubarak of Sayyedi Abdulqadir Hakimuddin QR, pleading; “Moula, it has been 20 years now, bless Karachi with the sharaf of Asharah Mubarakah, quench our thirst!”

And now, we await the fulfillment.

Andaze Karam Hai Mere Aqa Ke Nirale, Konain Jo Mange To Kare Uske Hawale

Each time a Mumin looks at Moula, all that he/she hopes and prays for is ‘two seconds’. That’s right. ‘Aik Nazar’..

And here, I have an account to tell.

Burhanuddin Moula RA was present in Sidhpur for Asharah Mubarakah, and fortunately our group of muminaat were there for the ‘zenabiyah’ course. After attending the Asharah Mubarakah we decided to present a shukr zyafat. A friend and I from Karachi decided to araz a gold coin towards the zyafat.

As our araz was forwarded, the relevant khidmat guzaar turned our request down as Moula RA did not appear to have any vacant date.

Nevertheless, my friend and I decided to araz the gold coin to Moula RA.

We were standing on the staircase where Moula RA was to arrive in some time.

As Moula RA arrived, we both presented our gold coins to which Moula RA inquied, “Aa gaini saa waste araz karo chho?”.  We replied “Moula, aa shukur na najwa araz karye chhey”, to which Moula RA pronounced: “Khuda ghani barakat aape!”, and repeated it a couple of times.

Following the acquaintance, the same night, my friend and I went for Moula’s RA qadambosi. It was my friend’s turn while I was standing behind her, as Moula RA addressed her: “Tame mane gaini araz kidi thi ne?” and she only managed to say “Ji moula, mein ane maari friend..” before she was whisked out of the line.

My turn came. No response from Moula RA.

I wept.

When I returned to my utara, I could not stop crying. Was it because of my sins that Moula RA had not responded to me?, I thought.

A week after, I was standing in the masjid sehen for didar.

Moula RA was exiting from the masjid and entering the sehen where thousands of mumineen were waiting for Him RA.

I stood hands folded with tears in my eyes imploring for his momentary attention when that very moment Moula RA pointed towards me, walked closer and said “Gaini tuyye araz kidi thi ne? Tashreef mili tane?”

He RA would not miss you in thousands. But yes, He RA is deeply missed by thousands today.

Ae Aale Taha Ke Pyaare Ae Saif e Deen Sarwar, Tumhe Ye Mumineen Jhuk Kar Salam Kehte Hain

It was Syedna Taher Saifuddin’s RA final visit to Karachi and I was a student in STD 3 in the CMS school, which was located very near to Adam Masjid, where Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA would usually preside over bethaks.

Relatively, getting the sharaf of qadambosi in those days could be well described as ‘a piece of cake’. Mostly, the bethaks would be held in forenoon, hence, sneaking out of the school for qadambosi was part of my routine.

One such day, the recess bell went off and instinctively, I headed towards the bethak, until I realized that I had nothing to perform salam with, besides what my mother had handed me that morning; 15 paisa to bring home some fresh mint (pudina) and coriander (dhanya) leaves.

We were crimping and saving in that stage of life.

Ignorant of everything else, I split the 15 paisa into three halves of 5 paisa each with the intention of doing Moulana’s RA qadambosi thrice.

I rushed towards the masjid, performed salam twice and rejoined the queue for the third time.

After the third time, Moulana RA looked at me and said, “yahan aaw”. I stood there bewildered whilst Moulana RA with a radiant smile on his face queried; “15 paisa to khatam thai gaya, hawey tu dhanyo ne pudino kem lesey?”.

I was startled.

Moulana RA, thereupon, instructed Miyan saheb Shk Ibrahim Bhai Yamani to bring 20 paisa to be handed over to me and said, “aa 15 paisa no dhanyo ne pudino leje, aney 5 paisa si, aa masjid na bahar aik bakery che, maney khabar chey taney ehnu ‘cake powder’ ghanu bhaawey chey, aa bija 5 paisa si ye khai ne jaaje.”

Unable to comprehend the magnitude of what had just transpired, I was merrily on my way and did as I was told.

When I reminiscent that fateful day today, I run out of words to express the overwhelming emotion that fills heart, but Moulana knows what it conceals and He fulfils what it wishes for.

For it was none other than Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA who would state the following sentence with sheer confidence; “tamra ghar ma aik chamchi girey chey, to mara kaan ma ehnu awaaz awey chey.”

Hai Inke Dil Mein Bohot Mehr Aur Bohot Ishfaq, Hai Ye To Waqe’i Ae Momin’o Pidar Apna

When I was about six, I was diagnosed with a ruptured appendicitis. I was rushed to the hospital and operated. All I can remember is unbearable pain before losing consciousness and waking up in the recovery room.

This is what my parents said happened in the interim: the doctor informed them that my appendix had ruptured, leading to septicemia, due to which the infection had spread throughout my body. Unfortunately, my survival chances were slim to none.

Before the surgery commenced, the doctor had left saying that only a miracle could save me.

My parents and grandparents turned to prayer: they invoked the name of Burhanuddin Moula RA during their constant dua’s to Allah TA.

Hours later, the doctor emerged from the surgery room and anxiously approached my mohta nani, who was preoccupied in her prayers.

He exclaimed that a man with an awe-inspiring semblance was in the surgery room with him, in ‘bright white clothes’ who gave him the confidence to proceed with the surgery. Someone telling him what to do, someone instructing and supervising throughout the successful operation. Upon the fortuitous surgery, the doctor said, just as I tried to approach the man to thank him and inquire about his relation to the patient, he had left and was nowhere to be found.

The doctor added that it was not due to him that her grandson survived; it was due to the one who answered her prayers. The one who directed the surgery.

“mein tamaro haqiqi maa aney bawa chu” – is our Moula’s relationship with us which the doctor was unable to concede.

Hai Jaisa Nikokaar Pidar Hoga Pisar Bhi, Ye Ho Nahi Sakta Ke Shajar Aur Samar Aur

It was Shehre Ramazan, post Lailatul Qadr, November 1425h/2004, and Burhanuddin Moula RA was returning to his ghurfah mubarakah from Taheri masjid-Saify Mehel after delivering nabi na namo.

Me and my wife were waiting for our nisbat to be held on his august hands under the car shade, opposite to the fish tank. “Maula hamna nahi rukey kem ke aap tarat upar padhari jase ane tasbeeh il azam parhse, tamaru kaam nahi thai, mushkil lagey che” was the alert we got from the volunteers on duty.

Soon after alighting from his vintage pontiac, Burhanuddin Moula RA stood there and inquired to his khidmatguzars about a qasida written by an ustaad of Jamea. “Hamna mane je qasida apo sheikh abdeali ye, ye kaha che” He RA inquired softly. The khidmat guzars swiftly started searching for it but in vain. There were hardly 5-10 people around, waiting for didaar. “Aqa! Maula! Ji aqa! Aqa! Aqa! Maula!” were the words of apology from the khidmat guzar’s side.

“Hamna to mane nichey araz kido ! Kaha gayo?” said Burhanuddin Moula RA in a pressing tone with an evident jalaal in his aura. There was sheer silence all around. As if all the creation stood still. Every soul turned to stone. Such was our Moula’s RA keen reverence over mumineen’s arazo and hadaya.

Amidst all this, me and my wife were eagerly waiting to be blessed by His merciful nazar upon us, with the nisbat misri in our trembling hands.

Aware of the apprehensive ambiance, no one was willing to iniate the araz for our nisbat. In the meantime a khidmat guzar hesitantly did araz to Burhanuddin Moula RA for raza mubarak for the nisbat.

In his utmost jalaal, Burhanuddin Moula RA miraculously looked upon us from top to bottom. He RA fixed his nazar mubarak on us for a few seconds and preoccupied with the missing of qasida, turned away to depart from us.

Astounded and awestrucked, we stood there with tears in our eyes.

Just as He RA progressed past us, one of the khidmat guzar’s uttered, while I observed him trembling “Moula, Shehzada Mufaddal Bhaisaheb ye nisbat waste farmayu che”. Hereupon, Burhanuddin Moula RA instantly turned towards us, blessed us with his nazar mubarak from head to toe, and granted raza mubarak for nisbat.

My happiness knew no bounds.

Everyone present was completely bewildered by perceiving the instant attention Burhanuddin Moula RA exhibited at the mentioning of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin’s TUS name, albeit He RA had already advanced ahead. It is surely evident what it meant.

Earlier that day Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS had instructed me “aje rate upar nisbat karo Burhanuddin Moula na haath par ane 3 shawwal mein tamara nikah parhis”.

The beloved son, had always been apparent.

Karenge Hum Se Nakeer’ein Jo Suwaal’e Amal, To Naam Lenge Tumhara Jawab Ke Badle

Burhanuddin Moula RA often said: “mein tamne koi waqat bhulnaar nathi“

Just as he assured the responsibility for the after-life of every mumin, he continued to be their savior in this world as well.

Take my instance. My husband had an accident seven years ago as a result of which he lost his memory. Since age was not in his favour, his prospects of pulling through were best described as slim.

If one asked him his name, he would be blank. If a relative walked in, his face would be flicker-less, as he had almost lost his sight as well.

His doctor described him precisely: ‘as blank as a sheet of paper’.

We would try various alternatives. ‘Pappa, do you remember this?” No response.

We would ask, “Pappa, do you remember that?” No response.

Once we asked “Pappa, Maulana ne olkho cho, su naam che?”

And suddenly his brows arched and he shot back: “Kewi waat kare che, maula ne kaun na olkhe – Taher Saifuddin Maula aney Burhanuddin Maula!” And then back to silence.

A few hours before he expired, he interrupted his silence with “aa badha aya che, koi jaga jawanu che?”

We forget people. Maula TUS doesn’t.

Burhane’din Shaha ni Jaho Jalali Dekho, Sultaan Moiz Ni Haqqan Izzat Talali Dekho

Imam Moiz AS once ordered one of his servants to prepare his bath. Some time later, when it was revealed that nothing had been done and the person entrusted with the duty had not even attempted to make any preparations. Everyone was furious and curious: what would the Imam’s AS reaction be?

The Imam AS arrived. Waited. Calm. Nothing else.  –  (Majalis Musaeraat)

This brings me to an instance when I was with Burhanuddin Moula RA, in London. Following a majlis, I received the sharaf of talaqqi as Maulana RA headed towards the lift. Before we could enter, someone had either summoned the lift to the basement or pressed some buttons inside the lift (without realizing), and off we went downstairs instead of upstairs. When we reached the basement, something else happened: the doors opened half way, and would not close. We tried closing them with our hands as we wanted to go up; they would just not open, nor would the lift move.

If you know the insides of an elevator – small, stuffy – you will understand why I was nervous. The first minute passed and I felt that the power would activate any instant and the door would open. Nothing happened. We could hear the voices of people outside the lift trying to do their bit to open the doors, but nothing helped.

The second minute passed. Then the third.

I was nervous. What would Moulana RA say?

The fourth minute passed. Then the fifth.

Suddenly, Moulana RA turned, smiled and asked: “Mehlam, tuyye kai dabawi lidu thhu?” I stuttered: “Nahi, Moula, bairao kai aawi gaya hata… tesi shayad…”

They had called the fire engine, as they could not find the person who was in charge of maintenance, who had the master keys to the lift doors.

After a good seven minutes, the door opened.

When we stepped out of the lift, the expressions on the face of every mumin bhai and behn outside, were clearly visible. Nervous. Tense. Worried.

When Moula RA stepped outside, something fascinating and surprising happened. Moula RA, with all his calmness, looked up, smiled a charming broad smile and did ishaara with his mubarak hand towards each one present, expressing that there is nothing to worry about and everything was fine, and simply walked away, showing one of his heavenly and supreme attributes.

That is when my heart cried: “jo’ilto fidaak ya moulana”.

Hain Jo Burhanedeen Shaahe Zamaa’n, Raaz Jaane Wahi Hai Har Dil ke

By the azeem ehsaan of Moulana TUS, all my children were fortunate to study in Al Jamea tus Saifiyah.

Above standard seven, one is required to appear in the final exams in front of Moulana TUS, in which a student is questioned by the four Umara ul Jamea by the raza mubarak of Aqa Moula TUS, though in some rare cases some students receive the sharaf to be questioned directly by Moulana TUS who listens to every answer.

It was my daughter’s turn to sit in front of Moulana Burhanuddin RA for her Shafahi Imtehaan. Just a few seconds before her name was called, I prayed: “Moula, maara paanch farzand ne jamea ni barakat mili chhey, aaj aap ehsaan farmawi ne mara farzand ne aap sawaal puchiye”

As Shehzada Saab DM was going to ask her a question, Moulana Muqaddas RA intervened and questioned her.

I could not believe what was happening. While she was answering, I prayed “Moula, aa nemat par aapnu shukur karu chu, aney em dua karu chu ke aap mara aa farzand ne dua ni araz karwanu farmawiye.” I hadn’t finished my words when Moulana Muqaddas RA pronounced “Dua ni araz karo”.

We often heard Him RA saying “mein jaanu chu tamara dilo ma ghani ummeedo che”. 

I experienced it that day.
