Preface

This is biography book of Hadrat Khaja Haruni and

this book was translated from very old Persian book
which is well known by the title of biography of Hadrat
Khaja Haruni and I have translated from Urdu in English
language for the first time and I am presenting this
biography of Hadrat Khaja Haruna for the global edition of
Amazon.com. And the Urdu version of the book was
published in the year 1345 Hegira by Syed Ejaz Ali in
Ajmer. So it was published 92 years ago.
This translation of the most ancient and celebrated
Persian book about Sufiism will, I hope, be found useful
not only for the number of students familiar with the
subject at first hand but also by many readers.
This is a small book in which there are advises and
instructions especially available for Taleb (student) and it
refers to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual
master) in a Tariqa (spiritual way) of Sufism and it is also
known as a Salik (Arabic: ), a mureed is an initiate into
the mystic philosophy of Sufism and all these details and
sayings of the great Sufi Saint and Sufi master Hadrat

Khaja were are added in this book . And also in this book
there are some great achievements which are not yet known
to the general, persons and other persons are published in a
very interesting style so, for this reason, the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will start
reading this books first page and will not stop its reading
till they will reach its last page as in this book some
interesting events and as well as other great miracles and
endeavours of holy saint are added and this holy saint to
have passed away from the world some 1,000 years ago.
Even though this is small book, but due to its importance
it is so great due to coverage of so many interesting events
and positive information in it so it is like an ocean of
knowledge and information of the holy saint and who have
passed away from the world upon doing his great
endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and
propagation work of Islam in the foreign land so this book
is small one but it will present the ocean of knowledge
and information for the guidance of people towards the
right path of Islam.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book
Muslim saints and Mystics (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid-aldin Attar) which is very famous in the Western world
among the English knowing persons. So, for this reason,
there will be some small differences in it while comparing

with the Urdu books and its literature. The aim of this
book is to present in the Western world where there are
great search and demand for the books of Sufism and
biographies of holy saints who lived and spent their entire
lives for the preaching and propagation of Islamic religion
in all corners of the world as per tradition and practice of
Allahs last prophet.
To write about this great saint Hadrat Khaja Haruni is not
only it is difficult and but it is very hard task as he was not
only a great pious personality of his time in the Indian subcontinent but he was also a great personality who is known
for many of his great achievements and miracles so in brief
he was Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his
time and who did many great endeavours for the preaching
and propagation of Islam in the above areas with hopes of
its expansion to other adjoining and distant territories and
there was no such personality during his time.
It is my great honour and pleasure to translate this book
from Urdu into English, so I request the readers to read this
book because in it there are many revelations of the secrets
which are added in this book for which I shall be highly
obliged to all of its readers in this matter.
In the preface of the book Tadhikra Awliya (Muslim
Saints & Mystics), Attar mentions three books which he
recommends for those ambitious to attain a full
understanding of the pronouncements of the Sufis but in

this book also there are many revelations of the secrets

which are available for the students of the Tariqa (spiritual
path) of Sufism.

The biography of Hadrat Khaja Haruni Sahib

Name and patronymic name

His patronymic name is known as Abul Nur and his name
is Usman and for the connection of the lineage, there is no
light which cannot put by any history books as well as in
the books of biographies. All historians and authors of

biography are silent on this chapter and have sealed their

lips in this matter. So, for this reason, it is not found the
details for which garden which will not decay he belongs
and prosperous child and for which he is a pearl of the
youth of manners from the sea of a shoreless. Surely after
reading some of the biographies and it will come to know
that he belongs to Sayyid (holy prophets descendant
through his daughter Hadrat Fatima) family.
The year of his birth
In the books of biographies there is no search has been
made and so no reference available in this matter but
certainly, it is mentioned by the author of book Qazinatal
Asfia and who was mentioned his year of demise and but
he did not quote any reference in this matter and the details
are as follows.
Khaja Haruni left this mortal world on 5th Shawwal in
the 617 Hegira calendar year at the age of 91 years old.
So from six hundred seventeen if we make less 91 than
we will get results which are as follows.
The year 526 Hegira Islamic calendar as his year of
birth and when Neshapurs well known and famous
philosopher Omer Khayyam was dead and after some
years of this event then Khaja Haruni was born there.
Place of birth

The village Harun which is situated in the Neshapur

region in Iran and his auspicious birth was taken place
there. Regarding village Harun there are different opinions
were given by different historians and authors of biography
in this matter. Some have given their opinion that Harun
village is situated in the area of Bukhara. But most of them
have agreed in this matter and they have given their
opinion that Harun village is situated in Neshapur area and
it is agreed upon research and which is confirmed in this
matter. The other difference about the pronunciation of
Harun village is that with some other persons say in Harun
the alphabet Raa letter of Urdu is showing vowel point
and other say alphabet Raa letter of Urdu and it is merger
same as vowel point but with us these sayings are not
correct as per research work. Because the great caliph of
Hadrat Nizamuddin Hadrat Naseeruddin Chiraq Dehlavi
said that In the word Harun there is no Alif (first letter of
Urdu alphabet).
Education and training
In the old and new books of the biographies, the details
of his super natural practices and miracles are available.
But it is regret to note that the study of the pure and pious
habits in the biography books of pious personalities did not
add any information and any wider scope and details for
the readers of these biographies. So for this reason upon
seeing any biography details,knowledge it is not known

about Hadrat Khaja Haruni the information about places

and extent of knowledge from which teachers what
knowledge he had obtained from them. This is definite
matter and books of biographies are proof in this matter
that he was memorizing the holy Quran and he had
complete perfection in the following knowledge.1.Ulum
Aqliya (knowledge of wisdom) 2. Ulum Naqliya
(knowledge of authority).
The book 'Sair Auliya' which was written by Amir
Khurd Kirmani who was famous and well-known caliph of
Hadrat Nizamuddin Auliya and who have mentioned
details in his book.
Hadrat Khaja Haruni was learned man of knowledge of
Shariat (Islamic law) and Tariqat (mystic way of life) and
Haqiat (truth) and leader of Audad (a category of saints
comprising only four at any time in the world) and Abdal
(an order of saints).
Muslim theologian as well as, research scholar and
Sufi master and Muhadith (scholar of traditions) and
whose name is Sheikh of Makkah Hasan bin Ali Lajami
who wrote in his book 'Qiba al-Zuliyani Tarjin Ahal alKaramat Wabarya' and its image of the above book's page
is shown as above and its translation and interpretation is
mentioned below.
Khaja Haruni is a pious person of dignity (Shan) and

he is having clear arguments. He got a higher place and

status of Marifat (mystic knowledge). He is Imam (leader)
of the people of Tariqat (mystic way of life ) and he is a
leader of the Sheikhs of truth (Haqiqat). He is a great man
of miracles and super natural acts and possessing a higher
level of status. He is having pure truth and lighted
discernment and also having divine flatulent as well as a
sacred person and possessing all these attributes with
him.And Moulana Sheikh Usmani belongs to al-Fatah arRariya (Harun) village and which is situated in the country
of Iran and he is attributed with name of Chisti from
village name of Chist and this Belad (place) also situated
in the country. of Iran. God may give us benefit from him.
And his pure and his pious personality is helpful to the
disciples to reach the higher status of perfection, and to get
teaching and training of Marafat
(mystic way of
knowledge ) of Allah and as well as to take towards of
Wasil Haq (realization of the truth) and which was a cause
of the antecedent.
In his dignity (manaqib) it is sufficient for you that
among his disciples Hadrat Khwaja Moinuddin belongs to
his disciples and who was lived during the period of
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani.
There is no doubt that Sheikh Usman Haruni was the
leader of the following persons.

The people of Irfan (intimate knowledge of God)

Manifest
Arguments
In the status of sainthood his position is very great and
incomparable and as he was a great man of giving the
verdicts and he belongs to mystic persons of Maver AnNahar area and he is from Harun village and this village
situated in the Bukhara region. Now the general people of
Makkah used to call him the of al-Rar because its Sheikh
Harun it is vowel point and with the construction of two
nouns in it. And the author of books saying in this matter is
that it is Fatah Al-Rarar and Sheikh is possessed noun
towards Harun.
Upon reading the books it is confirmed clearly that
Khaja Haruni upon the completion and obtaining of
knowledge and education he was entered in the field of
faqar (indigence) but the details in this respect all books of
biography are silent in this matter. So for this reason, if all
such details and information if it will not be found in this
small magazine then there will be no surprise in this matter.
The company of Majzub (one lost in divine meditation)
It is strange coincidence that upon reading the biography
and holy details of Hadrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti it is
revealed that in the beginning of his life period due to a

meeting of the sacred personality of majzoub Ibrahim

Qandozi which caused him for the search of truth and
leaving of this world. So in this same way as per authentic
tradition, it is confirmed that the Hadrat Sheikh Usman the
master ( Maqdoum) of the world who got the company of a
majzoub during his early period of life. So for the reason
from Malfouzat (advises and instructions, especially
available for Taleb (students) of Hadrat Chiragh Dehlavi
and who was the successor of Khaja Nizamuddin and his
book which is well known as Khair al-Majalis and from
this book the following quotation is mentioned herewith.
Hadrat Khaja Usmani had lived in the company of one
Majzoub and whose name is Chark and this majzub once
went to one city and he was stayed in the mosque and slept
there under the arch of the mosque. At the time of prayer
the Mauzon ( one who shout to the call to prayer ) was
pulled his foot and so, for this reason, he was wake up and
he heaved a deep sigh so, for this reason, there was fire
discharge was started and the roof and walls of the mosque
which were made of wood began burning and at that time
Majzub left from the mosque. And at the other side fire left
from the mosque and spread towards the houses in the city
and city began burning. The Sheikh of Islam Hadrat
Abdulla Ansari (R.A) was present in the city at that time.
The people of the city have informed him about the fire
accident in the city. So he was asked to them where that

Darwish person went.? And the people told him the way of
the Sheikh of Islam. And at one place he was reached there
and found him and reached near him and told him To give
him away from this city and that Sheikh told him he will
never give this city to him. So the Sheikh requested to
grant this city so that Sheikh told him that he was given
him 1/3 of Alxenderia City so the Sheikh requested him
again to add some more of it. Then Sheikh told him that he
was given him 2/3 of the city. Upon this Sheikh of Islam
was returning back from there.So for this reason 1/3 of the
city was burnt down and as 2/3 of the portion of the city
was given by Majzoub so it was safe and secure and no fire
went to that portion of the city of Alexandria.
From this tradition apparently it is not known that Khaja
Usmani did not have company of the above Majzub at any
time and with us it is fact that the company of the Sheikh
Usman with the above Majzub was held during his
beginning of the period on the path of Tariqat (mystic way
of life ). From the above tradition, it is confirmed that the
above Majzub was contemporary of Hadrat Abdullah
Ansari (R.A.). As per books of biography, it is confirmed
that the year birth of Hadrat Abdullah Ansari is 396 Hegira
year and death year is 481 Hegira. so the above event
happened and indeed it was happened before the year 481
Hegira year. If it is accepted this then this event which was
happened during the 480 Hegira then at that time Majzub

Sahib's age will be must of 20 or 30 years old and Khwaja

Usman's year of the birth is 526 Hegira so at that time at
the age of 15 years Sheikh Usman entered in the company
of the Majzub Sahib and at that time Majzub Sahib will be
in the life period of elders and about the youth and old age
period of life period of the Majzub is out of thinking and it
is not possible in this matter. But as per argument of
circumstantial evidence, it is possible that Khwaja Sahib
got the company of the above Majzub person and whose
name was Chark in his beginning period of life.
It is regret that from any book it is not known in which
year when he was become his disciple and at that time
what was his age.? And how many years he was in the
service of the spiritual master. ? But the historian and
authors of biographies are confirming in the same language
that he was pledge with Sheikh of time Haji Sharif Zindani
and after some time he has got caliphate and permission
from the Sheikh of time.
From Arabic book ' Saqti Shan' and its page 19 (copy
image is pasted as above) in which it is mentioned that he
was in the company of Sheikh Kabir Hadrat Khwaja Sharif
Zindani and he was pledge to him and he was obtained
saintly dress from him and he was used to living in the
presence of his spiritual master and in every issue he used
to benefit and get deduction from him. And the meaning of
Haji as per dictionary of the Persian is that abbreviation of

the group of people of requirement and which is applicable

to this group of people. As per reference from the book
Kitab al-Insab al-Samani" it is mentioned about the
pronunciation of Zindani with vowel point on alphabet of
Urdu Zavu and silent of alphabet Noon and with vowel
point on alphabet of Dal of mohimila (meaningless ) and in
its last there is alphabet Noon and this link is available to
that village of Bukhara and which is known as Zinda and
this village is four miles away from Bukhara city.
Traveling and tourism
He was spent most of his life period in traveling and
tourism in which he was seen many countries of the world
and he was spent his journey period for aim and purpose
to see the people of liars and to watch the result of the
liars who ignored hereafter. He was visited many countries
and many kingdoms and he was stayed at-least some days
at all places where he was visited during his period of
traveling and tourism and at those places he busied himself
in physical exercise and endeavors. During his journey
many thousand people who were lost the right way and
who were repented on his holy hand of the right way and
found guidance. Due to the above facts and reasons he was
well known and famous in all over the world. All the
people of the time were his become his devotees in this
matter. So when great saints of Indian sub-continent
Hadrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti when he was completed

learning of knowledge in Samarqand then he was reached

to Baghdad and in the year 562 Hegira and he was present
in the service of his Sheikh Khaja Haruni and he was got
felicity of pledge to him and was engage in the service of
the Sheikh. He was there in the in the engagement of
service with his spiritual master for a period of 20 years as
per reference from the book 'Sair AuliyA' on page number
45 and its copy of the image is as follows.

That Hadrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti present in the

service of Khwaja Usman Haruni and who has blessed
with him and it means he has become his disciple. He was
spent with him in his service for a period 20 years as such
that he did not take any rest and comfort to his soul for a
single minute during engagement of his service with his
Sheikh. During the journey of the Sheikh he used to carry
his bedding and when he was inspected my service of
devotion then he was awarded me required grace and he
was paid kindness towards me.
So the Sheikh traveled many cities in Arabic and the
Persian Gulf countries and many times he was visited
Makkah and Madina for the purpose of Hajj pilgrimage and
he was stayed there for longer time and till such that he was
died and buried in the holy city of Makkah. So Sheikh of
time Hadrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti was accompanied
with Khaja Haruni in his many places of traveling and

tourism and he was getting the favor of dedication.

Journey to India
For the traveling and tourism purpose, Khaja Haruni
was visited one time India during reign of Sultan alTamash in Delhi. So for this reason in the history book of
Farista as per reference of Haji Mohammed Qandharis
history the following tradition is available in it. A copy of
the image of the Urdu book is pasted in this book as
follows to increase the interest of research scholars and
readers of this book.

" In the history book of Haji Mohammed Qandhari it

is mentioned that Khaja Moinuddin Hasan Sanjari's
spiritual master it means Sheikh Khaja Haruni visited Delhi
city during reign of Sultan Shamsuddin Altamsh and
Sultan Altamsh who was disciple of Khwaja Haruni and he
did not leave anything for paying him respect and
admiration during his visit to Delhi. And during that period
Khaja Moinuddin Chisti was there in Ajmer city. In this
event, it was not known that whether there was a meeting
of Khaja Moinuddin Chisti held with his spiritual master in
Delhi or not.?"
Regarding authentication of the above tradition, there is
doubt with me for its correctness because the authorized
and approved books of malfuzat (advises and instructions)

are silent and quiet in this matter. And their silence and
quietness are equal of not approving and rejecting of this
event. Because this is great history event of Sufi master of
Christ and who is also magnum (master) of the world and
Sufi master Khwaja Usman Haruni who left his country
and suffered much difficulties of the long journey and after
reaching Delhi and any authors of the books of Malfuzat or
any approved book did not certified this event and even
specific mention and clarification is not found in the
books and also there is not found any indication in the
books. So what is meaning of this tradition which is
available continuously.? Regarding the above tradition
which is known as ahad (traditions transmitted by only one
narrator in each link of the chain) and it is not fulfilling
the requirement and condition of ahad a little in this matter.
And also other than this during the period of Sultan
Altamish the stay of Hadrat Bakhtiar Kaki in Delhi which
is approved and confirmed by historians and authors of
books of biographies. So suppose if we accept for some
time tradition of book Dalil Arifin as correct because it is a
very old book as per time record and some or another
person who ever has compiled this book. So the tradition of
this book which is equal value of tradition of some other
old book.So from it is proved that Hadrat Qutubuddin Kaki
has reached to Ajmer along with his spiritual master Khaja
Moinuddin Chisti.So for this reason reference from book

Dalil Arifin is presented as follows.

On page 450 in book 'Dalil Arifin' in Urdu version and
it is mentioned as follows and its translation is as
mentioned as follows.
After explaining the above benefits Khwaja Sahib
began weeping and he said He was going on the journey
to the place where he will be buried there. In a few days, I
leave from this place. At that time Sheikh Ali Sanjari was
present there. He said god bye to all persons who were
present in the meeting place and he took Sheikh Bakhtiar
Kaki to Ajmer city along with him he has reached there.
At that time Ajmer was habituated with Hindu population.
so in this way, there was not available Muslim population
there. When Khaja Ajmeri's holy foot has reached to Ajmer
then the religion of Islam has a shine to such extent that
there was no limit on it. He was given orders To write a
testimonial of the caliphate and to be given to Sheikh
Bakhtiar Kaki so that he should proceed to Delhi. Because
we have given him caliphate and that place (Delhi) belongs
to him.
From the above reference it is very clear that during the
period of Sultan al-Tamash, Khaja Qutubuddin Kaki used
to reside in Delhi city and also all books have confirmed
this matter.

The miracles
It is said that if any miracles or Super natural acts are
done by the prophets of Allah which are called miracles and
if the same such act is done by pious personalities then it
will be called Karamat (Super natural act). So, for this
reason, the reality of between miracles and Karamat both
are same and equal in this matter. But the technical term
has termed in this matter to distinguish in between both of
them and in this way both have been divided into two
kinds separately. For the prophets for the truth it is
compulsory for them to presenting their miracles in their
support and for the pious personalities, it is must and
necessary for them to conceal their Karamats (miracles).
As per our thinking Allah has send the prophets for the
purpose of the guidance of the mankind in the world so for
this reason they were sent in the world with super natural
powers so that it should be known and understand to the
mankind in the world and the mankind should know in this
matter that there is support and helping to the prophets in
this matter and so that the mankind should believe that
these pious personalities, without doubt, are sent by the
Allah in the world as true messengers and prophets. So
there was necessity was required with them and so, for
this reason, they will show their power in the world.
The holy persons of Muslim Nation do purification of
the mind by endeavours and mystical exercise so for this

reason in them also there will be the creation of the angelic

powers with them. And which is described as super natural
powers.? So they also with this power they are empowered
to bring those condition and for which the power of the
human beings are not possible in this matter. But for them,
it is not necessary to take help from these powers because
prophethood was already finished and in this matter
purpose of positive is over and argument of Allah was
fulfilled and the completion of the natural religion of Allah
has been finished .
As Allah says in Quran This day I have perfected for
you your religion and completed My favour upon you and
have approved for you Islam as religion .
Now at the present time ,there is no need of proofs and
arguments which should be established again in this
matter. As truth and false has already appeared there. And
now the eyes can make distinguish the difference in
between the light and darkness. It is said in the holy Quran
as follows.
So now any person who ever wants the way towards
Allah can opt for it.
To providing the grace of Allah to the mankind since
beginning of time many thousand prophets were sent to the
world by Allah. And every perfect person has fulfilled his
duty of post in the best possible manner on the grandeur

way and due to this reason the mankind got guidance in this
matter. But the un-lucky persons were preferred iron collar
of censure in their necks. At last the last prophet of Allah
was announced clearly in the loudest voice.
And its translation and interpretation are as follows.
For you your religion and for us our religion.
When there was the completion of Islamic law and
regulation (Shariah) so, for this reason, there is no need to
sending any more prophets in the world for the guidance of
the mankind and in this matter to show the miracles to the
people. As in the present time Karamat (supernatural act)
is, in reality, is a miracle so for this reason for the pious
persons it should be necessary for them to conceal it from
the mankind in the world. In spite of this many pious
personalities of Allah from the Muslim Nation usually
were use to perform many Karamats. But in this matter ,it
should be remembered that there are such pious persons of
Allah are there who could not able to control their
condition. So from such pious persons due to over power of
the condition with them so there will be happening miracles
without intention and think in this matter. So from this, it
should not be said that the pious persons of Allah were not
able to conceal their miracles in this matter. They are not
eligible to fulfill the duty of not disclosing the miracles due
to no the ability to bear it. Because in the un-controlled
condition or in the condition of ecstasy which will be free

all freedom in this matter.

Among them there are some pious personalities are there
who are large hearted and ambitious so for this reason
who due to difficulty show their miracles some time.
Hadrat Abdullah Ansari said With the purpose, if any
person with the power of his sainthood will fly in the air
then his position and reality is not more than a bee in this
matter. If any body will walk on the water and this work
can be done by Tinka (straw) such similar work. So, for this
reason, this is not any work of the perfection. The man
being his status of a human being than he should rule in
the heart of the persons. And from ,it is clear that with the
pious personalities of Allah who are perfect persons and
with them there is nothing about to disclose any miracles
and super natural things. Here it is mentioned that with the
holy persons if any miracles are done and its purpose and
aim are not for the show and it is caused for the reason of
pure passion and true incitement will be there soon this
condition this will happen in this matter or from this there
will require purpose of guidance to the mankind. The
ability which is found in them so they show the miracle and
cover the of power in the shape of action in this matter.
Also for some time the purpose of showing miracles is to
demonstrate only the truth of the religion of Islam and also
it is required the aim of firmness of the followers.
The holy personality of Hadrat Khwaja Usman was as

per requirement of the verses of Quran. So in such case for

the compiler of this biography to covering writing about
greatness and holy character by the arguments and
coverage of his miracles in this matter is a matter of
disrespect. Because such a great holy personality who
himself is excellence for the miracle. But as we are writing
the biography of the great Sheikh of time so it is our right
and duty to mention his miracles and supernatural acts as
per requirements of the biography and those finding are
available there in the biographies. So that some person's
interest may not hurt in this matter.
The crossing of river Dajla (Tigris) as per page number 44
from book 'Sair Auliya.'
As per tradition it is mentioned by Sheikh of Islam
Hadrat Khaja Hasan Sanjari that once he was with Sheikh
Khaja Haruni with him during his journey of travelling and
tourism and we have reached the bank of the river Tigris
and there was not find any boat there and Khaja Usman
Haruni told me to close the eyes so I closed my eyes. And
after this, I have seen Khaja Sahib and myself at the other
bankside of the river.I have asked him what he was doing.?
He . He was reciting five times Sura Fateha.
The help of the disciple in the grave as per page number 45
in the book Sair Auliya.
Hasan Sanjari that one of his neighbor who was a

disciple. As per tradition, it is mentioned by the Sheikh of

Islam Hadrat Khaja Khaja Usman Haruni and he was
dying. I was accompanied with his funeral to the
graveyard . When all per As sons left the graveyard after
burying him but he was there for one hour near the grave
of that friend and I have seen that the angels of punishment
came over there. And during this time Hadrat Khadija
Usmani came over there and asked not to give punishment
to that person as that person belongs to his disciples. There
was the command of Allah to the angels to tell him that the
disciple was of opposing of him. It means he was
disobedient. The Sheikh told them that indeed he did
disobedience of him but was included himself among his
disciples. There was the command of Allah to angels to
stop their hands and not to give punishment for the disciple
and as We have forgiven that person for the sake of him.
The hikayat (story) of peer person from book Sair Auliya
on the page number 45
It is available a tradition that once one old person was
present in the service of Khaja Usman Haruni due to his
severe matter of a problem with him. The Sheikh of time
has asked him "What is cause of his trouble.?" That old
person told him " Since 40 years his one son is missing and
I do not about his life and death news in this matter. I
present in your service with a request for your prayer in
this matter and perhaps my son reach back to my house."

The Sheikh went into meditation and after the of some

time, he has told with the persons who were present in the
meeting place that we pray for this matter that this old
mans son should come back to his house. After the prayer
the Sheikh told him to go your son might have reached to
your house there. When he was reached back to his house
one person told him congratulation your son came into
your house and old man met the boy and both of them went
into the presence of the Sheikh and was getting the chance
of kissing the feet of the sky and ability Sheikh Khaja
Haruni. The Sheikh was asked the boy " In which condition
you were there." The boy told him that "In the island of
rivers a dev was held him by tieing in the iron chains there.
Today I was there and one Darwesh like you put his hands
on the iron chains and who took me and asked to stand
towards his side and I was freed from the iron chain. And
after this ,he told me to put my foot on his foot so I have
acted as per this instruction. Then he told me to close my
eyes and so I have closed my eyes and I have found myself
on the door of my house."
The condition of majesty from the book Fawad Salikin on
the page number 14.
The above event is taken from book Dalil Salikin and
from this it is understood with us that compilation of book
Dalil Salikin is confirmed that it is correct.This is an old
book of Malfuzat (advises and discourses) of Khwaja

Bakhtiar Kaki's collection of advice and sayings and which

is compiled by Baba Farid Ganj Shaker. We want to clear in
this matter that copies from Dalil salikin is just like same as
in the Fazail Amal Wa Rajal book in which week sayings of
the prophet of Allah are recorded. Also, it is the that from
book Fawad Salikin who ever have compiled it and indeed
in all condition, for it had very much priority in time from
all other many books.
This time for this tradition in which there is a
description of karamat (miracle) for which we can not
ignore by saying of this week and unauthentic. And also we
do not have any arguments and proof against of it
Roshan Zamiri (pure of heart) from the book Siratal Aqtab
page 99
Once in the middle of the night 70 infidel persons
gathered and talked among themselves that at this time to
go and see Khaja Haruni and to ask and try him for
anything. If he will give some things as per our demand
then we will recognize him that there will be no such
person equal with him in the world.
In short, every person in his mind determined one kind
of food dish for eating himself so every body had made
desire of eating a different kind of meals in his mind and all
of them went into service of seeing the Sheikh of time
Khaja Haruni. The Sheikh was sitting in the meeting place

and when he had seen them and he told Oh : sons of

Adam (A.S.) Allah knows all matters of hidden in the man.
On whom he will be kind then he will inform the hidden
things to them. Then he asked all of them to sit there. He
was asked the servant wash the hands of the persons and
the servant followed his instruction. After that Khaja Sahib
told with his holy tongue "Bis Milla Irrehamn Nirrahim (In
the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful) and
number of time and he has raised his hands towards the
sky and every time one tray of food dish from invisible
source came there into his hands and which he has placed
before the person in the order and in a serial way. And
every time he was placed every body's desire and kept
before the person. Hadrat Khaja Haruni said Eat with the
grace of Allah " and as per his instruction all of them have
eaten too much and all of them thanked Allah for His
favour and also they were surprised in this matter. After
some time they said We know that today in the world
there is no holy person like you and like a person of
grace. But please if we accept belief in the Lord of the
worlds, Allah and become Muslims and belive in the unity
of Allah whether your Lord will grant graces to us like
yourself or not?." Then Sheikh told them that What he is
and he is a humble person and in what among he is
counted.? and if there will be favour of Allah will be
available then you will be granted too many graces than
this. All of them become Muslims and they have pledged

on his hand began to stay in his service and in the short

period of time they have become pious persons of Allah.
the silence of ulema (learned persons) on the issue of
Sama (ecstasy) from book Sairal Aqtab on the page
number 96.
It is mentioned in the above book that the caliph of the
time was prohibited him to Sama meetings and it was said
to him that if it would have been legal than Sheikh Junaid
of Baghdad would not have left it. The caliph was pledged
in the chain of Saherwardia Sufi Order and some persons of
ulema (learned persons) and Faqi (Muslim jurist) were in
favour of Sama and some learned persons and Faqi
(Muslim jurist) were not in favour of Sama. The caliph
was given order that those who will hear Sama will be
killed accordingly and when he has heard this order then he
said Sama is one of the secrets of Allah and during Sama
meeting , there will be no hindering and obstacle in
between Allah and his slave. For it, nobody could stop it.
There will be no power with anybody who can stop us from
listening of the sama. I pray to Allah that till the day of
judgment we hope that our disciples and devotees sons will
continue to hear it and on the people of Sama there will be
no success of any person on the people of Sama. But for
the caliph, it is not legal as he is a pledge in the chain of
Saharwardia Sufi Order. Our many sheikhs have been
heard, Sama. In spite of this, if I leave Sama then I will

become a person of fault and sinner. The Sheik's command

was sent to the caliph in detail. Upon this, the caliph was
given the order to the messenger of the sheikh that the
sheikh should come to the court and have a discussion with
learned persons there. If the learned persons will decide it
legal then he will not insist in this matter.
The messenger went back in the presence of the Sheikh
of time and was given a message of the caliph. At that time
Sheikh did meditation and gone to the court of the caliph.
The caliph gathered many reliable learned persons.The
caliph was not able to face grace of Khaja Haruni and so
he has gone from the court and he was sat behind the
curtain in the palace. The learned persons who have seen
the majestic face of the Sheikh were began shivering in this
matter and whatever they had knowledge of them were
forgotten and even they could not remember alphabets. In
that condition, the caliph was given them too much support
and favour to participate in the debate but they have
become helpless in this matter. Their tongues were closed
so they could not say anything in the court. At last, they
said Oh : caliph whatever they had possessed and that
knowledge was removed from their minds upon seeing the
face of Khaja Haruni. Because of this, we do not have any
power and ability to have a with him. At last learned and
Muslim jurists as well as respectable persons wept and
approached towards his foot and fallen on them and they

requested that Oh : Sheikh, the caliph is a disciple in the

chain of Saherwardia Sufi Chain so for this reason he was
prohibited, Sama. What is their power that we would say
the Sama illegal ? For your sake and for sake of the people
hearing Sama kindly help us as we are facing this difficulty.
We have spent our entire life for obtaining knowledge
which was gone already from our mind and memory within
second."
a
When the caliph has seen the greatness of the Sheikh
then he was told that He will not prohibit Khaja Haruni to
hear Sama (ecstasy).
After this Khaja Haruni was returned back to his
residence and he was demanded Qawalls (choristers) and
he was engaged in the hearing of the Sama continuously
for a period of seven days. But after this event on this
personality of angelic qualities nobody has objected for the
hearing of Sama.
The Karamat (miracle) of Prophet Abraham (A.S.) from
book Al-Anwar on the page number 131
When Khaja Moinuddin Chisti was got permission to
leave from Khaja Haruni and he has left from him. After
some days Khaja Haruni left from his lofty station and by
chance he was reached a place where the fire worshippers
used to reside there and where there was a fire temple and

near of it there was a deep pit was there in which there was
capacity of 20 loads of carts fire wood to make fire was
there in it.
The Sheikh stayed there under a tree away from the
village which was a bank of a river and he was told his
servant whose name was Fakheruddin to go from there to
the village and bring fire and flour and to prepare bread for
the breaking of the fast.The servant went to the village and
he was purchased flour from there and he went to the fire
temple to take fire from there and at that time fire
worshippers were sitting around the fire temple and they
have prohibited the servant to take away fire from the fire
temple. So the servant has informed all details to the
sheikh in this matter. So, for this reason, he was getting
ready to retaliate and there was effect of this on him and he
was stood and went to fire temple area and was seen that
one person and whose name Makshiya was sitting on his
throne along with his 7 years old son and there were so
many fire worshippers were there in the fire temple. The
Sheikh has asked them what is the benefit of fire
worshipping ? and the fire which will be extinguished
with some quantity of water. And why they did not worship
the Lord of the words who made the world so Allah can
help them. Because fire is created by Him only.
One fire worshipper told him that In our religion fire
is having greatness with it so, for this reason, we pray for

it. The Sheikh told him that " You have spent most part of
your life in its worship so put your hand in it but the
condition is that your hand should not be burnt in it." That
person told that naturally, its habit is burning than who has
a power that one should stay near of it. Afterward, the
Sheikh took the boy on that person's lap and thrown him
into the fire. So, for this reason, the fire worshipers made
loud and cry. Then Sheikh recited Bismillah Ar-Rahman
Nirrahim (in the name of Allah the most Beneficent and
Merciful) and recited the following verse from holy Quran
and its translation and interpretation are follows.
Oh : fire is cool on Ibrahim with safety
The boy was there in the fire for 4 hours completely and
there was no damage at all to the boy. After that he took
the boy from the fire pit and fire worshippers asked the boy
what you have seen there? The boy told that except flowers
and garden noting was not seen by him there. From this
event, it is clear that Sheikh had with Velayat (sainthood) of
Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.). In short, all fire worshipper have
become Muslim. The Sheikh named Makhisa as Abdullah
and his son's name was given as Ibrahim and he was trained
and was given teaching and preaching both of them as such
that both of them reached to higher level of saint hood for
this reasons.
In the book, Kitab Tariq Salaf the above tradition is
mentioned as the progeny of the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.)

and it is explained further that for this Karamat (miracle).

That there are two sayings in this matter. For some people it
is Karamat of Khaja Usman Haruni
and some other
persons thinks that this Karamat belongs to Sheikh
Moinuddin Hasan Sanjari.
The author of book Al-Moin, Moulana Syed Zainuddin
was mentioned the place of this miracle where it was
happened in the country of India and in Gujrat region but it
is regret in this matter that he was not quoted any reference
to any book in this matter. Moulana Jamal was mentioned
in his book Sair Al-Arifian that the place was become
famous for visitors but he could not mention the name of its
place and address in this matter.
The books of biographies
The holy companions of the last prophetof Allah in this
way have given importance to preserve the sayings of the
prophet and in this matter, they have taken specially care
and attention and utmost care of memorizing the sayings in
their minds. After the demise of the last prophet of Allah
after some period of time the Muslims have tried full
endeavours and with too much for compilation of the
sayings of the prophet was started as such that teachers of
sayings of prophet and about prophet sayings such as
commentary was started that cyclopedia of narrators new
style of skill came into existence. There were rules of
criticism of sayings were came into existence. So for this

reason for each and every saying correct details and

information were written. So for this reason intellectual of
the sayings of the prophet of Allah today able to know that
every and every detail of Hadith (saying of the prophet ) to
which it belongs and also its kind.
In the same way, sincere devotees and believers of the
special type were written sayings of their suif masters and
so they compiled books of their spiritual masters with
special attention and care they have done this service. So
that coming generations may be benefitted in this matter
and so that with continuance of favour and light of
guidance which always enlightens the hearts of the people.
So for this, reason book Faried Fawad, Khair Majalis etc
were compiled. So, for this reason, sayings of the Sufi
masters of Chist are still found in some books of Malfuzat
(advises and discourses) .
Regarding Khaja Haruni it is generally known that his
book of Malfuzat (advise and discourses) compiled and
collected by Khaja Moinuddin Chisti in the name of Anis
Arwa and in this matter brother Moulana Moin Moueni
who has not accept this matter. So he has discussed this
matter in details in the book Tariq Salaf with its proof and
research details which should not be ignored in this matter.
He was proved that Anis Arwa, Dalil Arifian, Fawaid
Salikin, Rahatal Quloob, and in the above 4 books
Malfuzat's (advise and discourses) connection are not found

correct and right and in this matter and there is no doubt.

The above person was not impressed that in some books of
biographies the traditions are quoted from the above books
and their references are available. And in some books of
realities their references are there and in which there are
included some tradition are available in the books without
mentioning of their references of the above books and some
Malfuzat are found in these books.
So it is not necessary for us to have our critical look on
all books of Malfuzat and which is not belongs to the
subject of our discussion in this matter. Also, author of the
book of Tariq Salah whatever he was written on this topic
with him this discussion is incomplete. So after some days
he will write more details in this matter. And he will not
leave any matter. So for this reason for this situation to
write more details for this discussion is not necessary for
this matter.
Yes, Anis Arwa for this matter it is mentioned that it is
Malfuzat of Khwaja Usman Haruni so we think necessary
that as we are writing Malfuzat of Khwaja Haruni and it is
our duty and obligation in this matter to give an opinion
about book Anins Arwa.

Reference from book Anis Arwa on the page number 5

Then we Khwaja Haruni and Khwaja Moinuddin came to

Badakshan and where we met one pious person and who

was the successor of Junaid of Baghdad and who was 100
old.
Khwaja Junaid of Baghdad belongs to the learned
person of the mystic way of Hadrat Sheikh Abdul Quader
Jilani and in his genealogical record, his name is available
in the 5th rank. In all books of biographies, all authors were
mentioned his year of death with some difference. But the
correct fact is that 302 Hegira year and after this year no
one of his authors did not exceed further in this matter. So
in such conditions the alloy person who was beneficent in
the company of Junaid of Baghdad whether his age may be
100 years old why he can live in the yer 400 Hegira year
after passing of such long period of time. So which is a
baseless tradition? The great Khwaja Haruni was born in
the year 530 Hegira. So as per this calculation , any disciple
of Junaid of Baghdad live in the world and with this also at
that time his age should be only 100 years old. This
tradition is saying by calling that by itself that it is not
concerned with truth.
Reference from the book Anis Arwa on the page number
4
Khwaja Haruni said Khwaja Junaid Baghdadi's book
Umda in which we have seen the tradition of Yousuf Chisti.
In the second meeting about hymns of Prophet Adam
(A.S.),there was discussion and he said he was heard by the

tongue of Yousuf Chisti.

From a study of the first reference, it is found that Khaja
Yousuf Chisti is that holy person about his tradition Junaid
Baghdadi which he discussed in his book Umda Saluk in
this matter. And from second tradition it is known that
Yousuf Chisti is such holy person and his company
available with Khwaja Junaid Baghdadi and from his
tongue of truth Malfuzat were reached to the holy hearing.
It means that Khwaja Yousuf who was lived during the time
of Junaid of Baghdad up to the time of Khwaja Haruni and
it means he was lived at the age of 250 years otherwise a
collection of this saying will not show any reason for it. if
some will say that Khwaja Yousuf is another person from
him Junaid Baghdadi wrote his tradition. And this Khaja
Yousuf is different with which Khwaja Haruni had held
meeting with him. In that case, the issue is that lineage of
Christ started with Khwaja Ishaq Shami and from that time
all holy persons have adopted the title of Chisti with their
names. Those who are devotees of Khawja Ishaq belongs to
his chain of favour.
Khwaja Iraq Shami's year of birth is 343/329 Hegira
which is written in the books biographies and history. Even
though it is confirmed before the death of Junaid of
Baghdad and after some years he was born. So Junaid
Baghdadi tradition with any Khwaja Yousuf Chisti referring
it is whether correct in this matter.? No, it will be never.

Because during the time of Junaid Baghdadi use of the title

of Chisti was not yet started at that time. Other than if we
study book Sair Auliya's tradition that Khwaja Yousuf
Chisti who belonged to Khwaja Madud Chisti and he is his
sister's son. Then it will be very cleared the truth in this
matter. In short with us Anis Arwa is not Malfuzat of
Khwaja Haruni.
But in Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya's collection book
Rahatal Mohibin in which Amir Qusro who was recorded
a tradition of Khwaja Nizamuddin by his holy tongue.
Because about this book and its compilation we do not any
doubt. So its brief details are recorded herewith.
It was practice of Khwaja Haruni that with
commencement of the month of Ramazan he will leave all
his affairs and also leave company of the people and used
to live in loneliness and he said The month of Ramazan is
month of grace and prize and its example is like that
defeated army's booti which will find every where so for
the successful army in the same way during the month of
Ramazan's grace and blessing will find all four sides and
like such condition in which will find booti scattered so
one can loot as per his wish and desire. So the people
should do endeavour and worship which is possible by
them so that they should get a countable reward.
Apart from this his Malfuzat (advises and instructions)
are available in the following books.

1.Kitab Dalail Arifin

2.Rahatal Quloob
Unless we do not know about the correctness of
tradition in the above two books we could not dare to quote
such tradition in this book. But as a matter of fact in the
book Fazil Amal in which weak traditions about sayings of
the prophet of Allah are recorded in it. But our devotion can
not give us permission so we keep silence in this matter.
Marriage and sons
In any reliable or un reliable Malfuzat and in any
authentic biography or unauthentic biography there is no
mention the information on this topic. Allah knows whether
he was spent his life with or without marriage and whether
his lineage was started or not nobody knows in this matter.
Demise and mausoleum
On sixth Shawwal in the year, 617 Hegira Sheikh of the
world Khaja Haruni left this mortal world.
Mausoleum
Regarding his mausoleum author of book Al-Kibaya alZavia who has mentioned following information and details
in this matter.
His grave is situated in Suq Lail area in Makkah. One
king of India has constructed his mausoleum over his

grave there. There is available caravan serai near his

mausoleum and which well is known and famous as Rubat
al-Hind and which is the residence of fakirs of Chistiya
order . But now which was demolished but signs are still
available there. Now in that area well do persons of
Makkah used to live there. So Sayyadi Bashi is residing
there. I know well that on the holy place of grave marble
frame was constructed all four sides. There in the shrine, he
was always busy in teaching and also for good deeds,
works of benefits were done by him and all such things are
due to the grace of Khaja Haruni and blessing and favour
of Allah.
My honorable master Mavlavi Abdul Bari Farnagi
Malhli when he was visited holy Makkah and at that he
was seen the mausoleum of Khwaja Haruni and was
constructed there marble frame around four sides of the
grave.Now Allah knows well what happened to it during
the reign of King Ibn Saud of Arabia. Anyway, it is wellknown fact that his grave which was a favour for the
fulfillment of desires and wishes of the persons who visit
his grave in Makkah.
Death anniversary (Urs)
In the shrine building of Ajmer his annual Urs
ceremony(death anniversary) is being celebrated in every
year with grandeur scale as such of Urs of Khwaja Hasan
Sanjari. The Sama Khana (listening house) in the night of

6th Shawwal on the 6th date meeting of the Sama (ecstasy)

and Qul (reciting a verse of Qul Wal-Lahu Ahad ) meeting
will be held. At the above meeting which was held in which
there will be no large gathering of the people was found
there because there was no announcement of this Urs
celebration was given to the general public for participation
there in. But last year by publication division of Fakher
Khudam was given the announcement of death anniversary
(Urs).
The caliphs and disciples
The above details are as follows.
Khaja Moinuddin Chisti
Khaja Najamuddin Suqra
Faqeruddin Garduza
Sheikh Sadi Langochi
Sheikh Mohammed Turkey

1.Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Sanjari

He was born in the year 530 Hegira in the village Sanjar
in the region of Isphan the shining star on the sky of Siadat
(descendant of the holy prophet through his daughter
Hazrat Fatima) rose and he was brought up in Khorasan
city. In the 15th year, his parents left this mortal world. In

Samarqand and in Bukhara, he has acquired knowledge. In

the year 563 Hegira, he has completed learning of
knowledge. After that, he was reached to Baghdad and
joined in the service of Khwaja Haruni and pledge on his
hand. For a period of 20 years, he was with his spiritual
master in his service and he was with him on his journey
and at his stay period in different places in travel and
tourism. In the year, 582 Hegira he was obtained saintly
dress, caliphate and permission from his spiritual master
and he proceeded to India and there were rules of kings of
Chohan dynasty. At different places, while meeting with
holy personalities and he was reached to the capital city of
King Rai Pathura in Ajmer during that period Sultan
Shabuddin Ghouri was conquered Indian capital city of
Delhi. Due to the prayer of Khwaja Sahib Sultan
Shabuddin was successful in the war with Rajput kings.
During the rule of Sultan Al-Tamsh, Khwaja Sahib visited
two times Delhi city.
On 6th Rajab in the year 1236 ,this sun of guidance was
set after a period of 43 years after giving his light and it
was set from its 102 years of rising. But his favour is still
being continued till the day of judgment his light will be
available .
2. Sheikh Najamuddin Suqhra
The books of biographies and history are now in our
study but in those books, no information details about him

are not available to us so in such condition we would not

open our lips. However, a reference from book Sair
Auliya's which is given as follows and from it is known
that during of period of Sultan al-Tamash of Delhi he was
on the post of Sheikh of Islam of Delhi.
Sair Auliya page number 54
This tradition is linked with the visit of Khaja Moinuddin
that when Khwaja Sahib came to visit Delhi from Ajmer
and at that time Sheikh Najamuddin Sughra was Sheikh of
Islam of Delhi .
There was friendship in between Sheikh Najamuddin
Suqhara and so, for this reason, Khaja Moinuddin Chisti
came over to visit Delhi to see him there.
3. Saadi Langochi and Sheikh Mohammed Turki
For writing the details of the above two holy personalities
we are in helpless condition because in the books which are
with us in those books we have searched for them and all
of them are totally silent in this matter.
4. Fakheruddin Khwaja Gardezi
At the time when Khaja Moinuddin Chisti has started the
journey towards India then as per his spiritual master's
permission and he was entered in the service of Khwaja
Moinuddin Chisti. So, for this reason, he came to Delhi
along with Khawja Sahib. He was the paternal brother of

Sheikh Moinuddin Chisti and he was brother in the mystic

way and his caliph.
In the presence of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, he had
complete access and influence there.
As per book Gulzar Abrar, Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti
used to say always that With Fakheruddin he had proud
upon him.
Fatah Darin, Fazail Khwaja, Tadhkira al-Moin etc have
mentioned 26th Rajab as his date of demise. In book
'Tariq Salaf' the year of his demise mentioned as 642
Hegira year. His grave is situated in the mausoleums one
room and in another room his wifes grave is there.
The lineage of the custodians of shrine buildings of
Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti in Ajmer is belonged to his
sons.

The End.
