When scholars write books, they strengthen every point with references, footnotes, and chains of transmission. But when a saint writes a sher, it does not emerge from study tables — it comes from the heart’s unveiling, from the light that descends in moments of spiritual nearness. Poetry born from ilhām, kashf, and ruhani kaifiyat carries a truth that is tasted before it is spoken.
That is why the words of Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz hold a different weight.
His verse on wasīlah isn’t an argument — it is a witness.
It comes from a state where realities are seen, not theorized.
When he says that the path to Allah’s darbaar is reached only through Muhammad-e-‘Arabi ﷺ, he is not presenting a debate. He is revealing what the awliyā have always tasted:
that every road of guidance, every door of mercy, every rising of noor — all of it flows through the Blessed Presence of the Prophet ﷺ, the Guide of both the seen and the unseen.
People may have read many opinions about wasīlah, many discussions, many fatāwā.
But few have touched the fragrance of a saint’s certainty.
Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz’s words are not an explanation —
they are the echo of a spiritual vision,
a reminder that the heart reaches its Lord through the Light that Allah sent as Rahmatul lil-‘Ālamīn.
