1. King of Jinns AbĹŤ Saâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;AbdullaÄĽ bin AḼmad says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once, my daughter FÄ ášimaÄĽ disappeared from the roof of the house. I got worried and went to the blessed court of SulášÄ n-ul-AuliyÄ , Shaykh â&#x20AC;&#x2020; and implored for help. He â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go to Karkh (city) and sit in a deserted place over there during night forming a spiritual fencing (i.e. a circle) around 1

Their faces will be very strange but do not be frightened whatsoever. At the time of dawn, the King of jinns will come to you and ask you â&#x20AC;&#x2020; of your need. Tell him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shaykh â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Abd-ul-QÄ dir JÄŤlÄ nÄŤ â&#x20AC;&#x2020; has sent me from Baghdad and you have to search for my lost daughter.â&#x20AC;? Therefore, I set out for Karkh and followed the instructions of â&#x20AC;&#x2020; GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; . During the silence of the night, terrifying jinns passed by my fencing. Their faces were so horrific that I could not endure to look at them. At the time of dawn, the King of jinns came riding on a horse along with many other jinns. He remained outside the fencing and asked â&#x20AC;&#x2020; me what I wanted. I said that GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; has sent me to you. Hearing this, he dismounted the horse and sat on the ground. The other jinns did the same and sat on the ground outside the fencing. I informed him about the mishap of my daughter. The King of jinns made an announcement amongst the jinns, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who has kidnapped the girl?â&#x20AC;? Within moments, a Chinese Jinn was captured and brought forward as the culprit. The King asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why did you kidnap the girl from the city of the Quášb1 of these times?â&#x20AC;? The Chinese jinn trembled and replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Highness! I fell in love with her at first sight.â&#x20AC;? The King ordered for beheading of the Chinese jinn and had my beloved daughter returned to me. 1
Quášb is a person at a very high and especial spiritual rank.

Thanking the King, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153; ! " # &) & â&#x20AC;&#x2020; . -+ & ! You are a great devotee of Shaykh GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am.â&#x20AC;? He replied: By Allah ! " # , â&#x20AC;&#x2020; looks at us, all the jinns begin when GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; to tremble. When Allah ! " # nominates a Quášb, all the jinns and human beings are ordered to obey him. (BaḼjat-ul-AsrÄ r, p. 140)
2. True Devotee of GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am Someone has narrated an incident which took place in Kutiyana (Gujarat, India), the ancestral village of Sag-eMadÄŤnaÄĽ &ŰĄ7&#â&#x20AC;&#x2020; Q ŰĄ &# (author). There was a man in Kutiyana who â&#x20AC;&#x2020; had great admiration for GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; . He used to celebrate GiyÄ rÄĽwÄŤn consistently. Another praiseworthy trait of him was that he showed a great deal of respect to Sayyids1. He used to be so kind and caring towards young Sayyids that he would pick them up, carry them around and would buy them sweets. When he passed away and was covered in a shroud, people came to grieve but suddenly that true devotee of GhauĹĄ-ulAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am removed his shroud and sat upright. People were scared and were struck with panic. He cried out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be scared, just listen to me!â&#x20AC;? When people came closer he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell you the truth that just now my Murshid2, Shaykh â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Abd-ul-QÄ dir â&#x20AC;&#x2020; JÄŤlÄ nÄŤ â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; honoured me with his presence and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Being my disciple you died without repenting!

Suddenly, his head turned to one side and he died. Congratulations to the devotees and disciples of GhauĹĄ-ul â&#x20AC;&#x2020; Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am because the Sultan of Baghdad â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; has said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My disciple, no matter how sinful he is, will not die until he repents.â&#x20AC;?

3. Hearts in the Fist â&#x20AC;&#x2020; Shaykh â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Umar BazÄ r â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Friday, I was â&#x20AC;&#x2020; heading towards the Masjid with GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; . I thought this to be quite strange that whenever I go to the Masjid on Fridays with my Murshid, people gather around to say SalÄ m to him or to shake his hand and it becomes extremely difficult to continue walking; but today, no one is even paying attention (to him). As soon as this thought invoked â&#x20AC;&#x2020; looked at me with a in my mind, GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; smile.
Suddenly, people started rushing to shake hands with the â&#x20AC;&#x2020; . There were so many people that Sultan of Baghdad â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; a huge crowd interfered between me and my kind Murshid â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; . Now I thought to myself it was much better before. â&#x20AC;&#x2020; As soon as it appeared in my mind, he â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;O 4

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Umar! It was you who desired the crowd. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you know that the hearts of the people are in my fist! If I want, I can lure their hearts towards me and if I want, I can turn them away.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? (BaḼjat-ul-AsrÄ r, p. 149)

4. Help Me GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; has stated that once, I was Shaykh Bishr Qaráş&#x201C;ÄŤ â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; [travelling] with a business caravan along with 14 sugar loaded camels. We all camped in a terrifying jungle during the night. In the first part of the night, four of my loaded camels got lost. They could not be found despite of my tireless efforts. The caravan left without me. My cameleer also remained behind with me.
The following morning, I recalled that my Murshid, GhauĹĄ-ul â&#x20AC;&#x2020; Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; had once said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever you are afflicted with an adversity or worry, call on me. ! " # &) & ./-+ â&#x20AC;&#x2020; ,
you will be relieved from that adversity.â&#x20AC;? Therefore, I cried for â&#x20AC;&#x2020; help saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Shaykh â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Abd-ul-QÄ dir â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; ! I have lost my camels!â&#x20AC;? Right away, I saw a saint, dressed in white clothes, standing upon a small hill towards the east. The saint gestured 5

and I started approaching him. As soon as I approached him along with my cameleer, he disappeared. We began to look around in a surprised and confused state. All of a sudden, we saw our four lost camels sitting at the bottom of the hill. We caught them and joined with the caravan.

Asking Help from Someone Other than Allah
! " #
Dear Islamic brothers! After reading the above mentioned incidents, someone might think that we must only ask Allah 6
King of Jinns
! " # ! " #
for help and none other than Him because when Allah has the ultimate power to help, why should we turn to anyone else for help? This is a very dangerous trick of Satan with which he has led many people astray. If Allah ! " # has not forbidden us as regard to asking help from others, how can one get the authority to forbid people from asking others for help! Look in the Holy Qurān where Allah ! " # has permitted us, in various verses, to ask others for help. In fact, despite Him being Omnipotent, He ! " # Himself has asked His people for help. It is stated the Holy Qurān:

An Account Regarding the One Who Sat Facing the QiblaÄĽ Dear Islamic brothers! If possible, we should also develop a habit of facing the QiblaÄĽ because there are many blessings of doing so. Shaykh ImÄ m BurÄĽÄ n-ud-DÄŤn IbrÄ ÄĽÄŤm ZarnĹŤjÄŤ â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; reported: Two students travelled abroad to seek religious knowledge. Both of them were in the same grade, when they returned home, one of them had become a very knowledgeable religious jurist whereas the other remained ignorant. The eminent scholars of the city began pondering over the reason. When careful observations of their ways of learning, manners of revision, conversation, manners of sitting etc. were taken into account, they surprisingly came upon the fact that the student who returned as a religious jurist had a habit of facing the QiblaÄĽ whenever he sat while the other student always sat with his back towards the QiblaÄĽ. Therefore, the respected scholars and jurists â&#x20AC;&#x2020; * â&#x20AC;&#x2020; )
( unanimously agreed that the fortunate one has become a

It is SunnaÄĽ for MuballighÄŤn and educators to have their backs towards the QiblaÄĽ so that the listeners (learners) can sit facing towards the QiblaÄĽ.

While teaching the Noble Qurān, you should sit with your back towards the Qiblaĥ with the intention of following the blessed Sunnaĥ. Dars-e-Niẓām teachers should also do the same with the intention of Sunnaĥ and in order to let students face the Qiblaĥ. Educate students the Sunnaĥ, philosophy and intention of sitting in this manner and gain many rewards and blessings. Try to sit facing the Qiblaĥ when you are not teaching.
•
Religious students should sit facing the Qiblaĥ so that they are also facing the teacher otherwise it might be difficult for them to understand [the lesson].
•
It is Sunnaĥ for the Khatīb to give the sermon with his back towards the Qiblaĥ and it is desirable that the listeners face the Khatīb.
•
When reciting the Holy Quran, reading religious books, writing Fatāwā, compiling and authoring books, supplicating, doing Żikr, reciting Ṣalāt and Salām, or generally whenever sitting down or standing, if there is no religious hindrance, try to develop a habit to sit facing the Qiblaĥ all the time and reap many rewards. (If you are within 45 degree of Qiblaĥ you will be considered as facing the Qiblaĥ).
•
If possible, place the table, chair etc towards the Qiblaĥ so that whenever you sit, you [automatically] face the Qiblaĥ.
•
If you just happen to sit facing the Qiblaĥ without intending to gain rewards then you will not be rewarded, 15

therefore one should always make good intentions; for instance: (1) gaining virtues for the afterlife, (2) following the SunnaÄĽ, (3) I am facing the Kaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;baÄĽ in its honour and reverence.

In many countries such as, Pakistan, India, Nepal etc, whenever one faces the QiblaÄĽ, he also faces MadÄŤnaÄĽ MunawwaraÄĽ [as they fall in the same direction].

MadanÄŤ Marvel of the BaghdÄ dÄŤ Remedy The summary of the statement of an Islamic brother is as follows: A SunnaÄĽ Inspiring Ijtimaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was held by Dawat-e-Islami on the occasion of 11th RabÄŤâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-ul-GhauĹĄ, 1425 A.H.

any of them! I repeated the words to become the disciple. As soon as the initiation was over, I requested in the blessed court â&#x20AC;&#x2020; of GhauĹĄ-ul-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;áş&#x201C;am â&#x20AC;&#x2020; â&#x20AC;&#x2020; : â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My wife is in labour and in terrible pain.
