CHOICE OF COLOUR OF HIS DRESSES

From tradition it is known the colour Sarkar Waris liked best was yellow colour. It is only those disciplined ascetics who serve connection with the world and depend upon their Lord, prefer this colour for their dress, for example Jesus Christ whose spirituality, Godliness and his isolation from the world preferred yellow colour for his dress. It is also prophesised that when, Christ will descend on the last day of the world he will have two sheets of similar colour on his body and from his locks, water drops would trial.

The description of Jesus Christ is an embodiment of spirituality and an artistic creation of divine craftsmanship; like wise our Saint Waris Ali Shah liked such dressed for apparel. In like manner we discern in his personality qualities of heart and head. Till the old age of seventy years he endured with patience, trial and tribulation without any complaint which are the unique qualities of those whose ultimate goal of life was to achieve the desire of reaching divine vicinity and merging themselves with the infinite.

We discern in our Saint the qualities of Jesus Christ.

Not only did Sarkar observed strict code of formulation but he also advised his devotees to follow likewise. And anyone did follow he was extremely pleased. For instance Maulvi Mohammad Yahya Saheb Warsi, Vakil of Azimabad followed a set pattern of habits, in the sense he would every year came to Deva Sharif for the Karthik Mela on a particular date. But once is so happened when the date for his departure to Deva Sheriff neared his daughter was very sick, but he left her in the delicate condition and came to Deva Sheriff. The next day he received a telegram for the family doctor Asad Ali khan Saheb that his daughter died. When this news reached Sarkar he ‘called Maulvi Saheb aside and said, “Maulvi Saheb you have passed the test of formalities. But generally people make a swoon to be death.” At the time no one care to understand the meaning behind this utterance but not the third day, Maulvi Saheb received a letter from his brother that his daughter became alive; six hours after she was pronounced dead.

AN ADVOCATE FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND DIGNITY

“The most perfect of the believers, where faith is concerned, is the finest of them in moral character, and the best of you are the ones who treat their women best,” the Prophet Muhammad declared. In Arabia, women were treated like property and were stripped off their rights. They could be inherited and were not given any status in society. The Prophet changed the way the Arabs viewed women. He advocated the rights of women and upheld their dignity. He declared them partners to men and declared their immunity in warfare. Women were legislated a right to initiate divorce, receive inheritance and own property. They had a right to education and even partake in the running of state affairs. The Prophet honoured women by acknowledging the critical role played in upbringing their children by declaring the right of a mother three times more than the right of the father. He promised Paradise to any man who took care of his daughters³ at a time when the Arabs deemed daughters to be a blemish to their family honour and found no qualm in burying them alive. In doing so, he ﷺ changed the perception of society and enshrined honouring of women as a part and parcel of piety and religiosity.

हुज़ूर अकदस ﷺ सरकारे दो आलम से क़राबत मुनकता नहीं होगी: फरमाते हैं:
“كل سبب و نسب منقطع يوم القيمة الاسببي ونسبي हर इलाके और रिश्ता रोज़े कयामत कता हो जाएगा मगर मेरा इलाका और रिश्ता (मुनकृता नहीं होगा )
(المعجم الكبير حدیث ۲۲۳۳)
(2) “हज़रत अब्दुल रहमान अबी लैला अपने वालिद से रिवायत करते हैं कि हुजूर ने फ़रमायाः कोई बंदा उस वक्त तक मोमिन नहीं हो सकता जब तक कि मैं उसके एहले खाना से महबूब तर न हो जाऊँ और मेरी औलाद उसे अपनी औलाद से बढ़ कर महबूब न हो जाए और मेरी जात उसे अपनी ज़ात से महबूब तर न हो जाए । ” इसे इमाम तिबरानी और इमाम बैहकी ने रिवायत किया है।

ताज़ीम, एहले बैत का हक है इस्लाम हज़रत ख़्वाजा नसिरुद्दीन उबैदुल्लाह एहरार नक्शबंदी कुद्दस सिर्रहू (895 हि.) एक रोज़ सादाते किराम की तौकीर व ताज़ीम के बारे में फ़रमा रहे थे कि जिस बस्ती (गोठ) सादात किराम रहते हों मैं उसमें रहना नहीं चाहता क्योंकि उनकी बुजुर्गी और शर्फ ज़्यादा है। मैं उनकी ताज़ीम का हक़ बजा नहीं ला सकता। (तज़किरा मशाईख नक्शबंदिया) ( ज़ैनुल बरकात)
