Karaamat :
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
(1) Ek martaa ek Naabina shakhs Aap ki khidmat me haazir hokar taalibe dua hua ke us ki binai waapas mil jaaye.
Aap ne apna thoonk mubarak lekar us ki aankho par lagaaya aur farmaaya ke ‘Ghar jaa kar aankh kholna.’ Us naabina shakhs ne Aap ke farmaan ke mutaabiq amal kiya aur us ki aankhe roshan ho gai.

(2) Aap ke ek khalifa Khwaja Mohammad Siddeeq ghode par sawaar hokar safar kar rahe the. Achaanak ghoda bidkaa to wo gir gaye magar paanv rakaab me phans gaya. Ghoda daudne laga. Unhe apni halaakat ka yaqeen ho gaya. Unho ne apne murshid Khwaja Muhammad Ma’asoom Sirhindi ko imdaad ke liye istegaasah ki. Wo farmaate hain ke maine dekha ke Khwaja waha tashreef le aaye hain. Ghode ko rok liya he aur mujhe us par sawaar kar diya.

(3) Ek martaba Khwaja Mohammad Siddeeq dariya me gir gaye. Tairna nahi jaante the, doobne lage to apne Peer ko madad ke liye pukaara. Khwaja tashreef laaye, haath pakda aur doobne se bacha liya.

(4) Ek martaba Khwaja apne saathiyo ke saath apni khaanqaah me tashreef farma the. Aap ka haath mubarak aur aastin bagal tak bhig ho gaye. Haazireen ye dekh kar heraan ho gae aur Aap se is ka sabab puchha.
Aap ne farmaaya ke ‘Mera ek mureed taajir kashti me sawaar tha. Wo Kashti dariya me doobne lagi to us ne madad ke liye mujhe pukaara. Maine use doobne se bacha liya. Is liye ye aastin aur haath tar ho gaye hain.’
Wo Taajir ek muddat ke baad Sirhind shareef aaya to is waaqye ki Hazrat ke irshaad ke mutaabiq hi ittela di.

(5) Ek martaba Aap ki majlis me zikr hua ke ‘Fulaan Raafzi khullam khulla Hazrate Shaikhain kareemain Hazrate Abu Bakr Siddeeq aur Hazrate Umar Faarooq radiy-Allāhu ta’ala anhu ko gaali bakta hai.’
Ye sunte hi Aap jalaal me aa gaye. Aap ke saamne ek tarbooz pada hua tha. Aap ne chhuri le kar farmaaya ‘Us khabees ko zibah kar de.’
Aap ne jis waqt ye farma kar wo chhuri tarbooz par chalaai usi waqt wo Raafzi mar gaya.

Imam Muhammad Masoom Faruqi Sirhindi (1007-1079 AH)

Hazrat Khwāja Imām Muhammad Ma’sūm Fārūqī Sirhindī Naqshbandī (1007-1079 AH) was the third son and successor of Mujaddid Alf-e-Sānī Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindī (971-1034 AH), may Allah be pleased with them both.

He was born in 1007 AH (1598/1599 C.E) in Sirhind (India).

At the age of 11, his father took him as a murid and trained him in tarīqat.

Hazrat Khwaja used to say that all my prayers, whether Fard or Nawāfil, are offered over the Arsh.

This great sun of guidance left this mortal world on Saturday 9th Rabī al-Awwal 1079 AH (16/17 August 1668). In the night before this sad day, a voice was heard in every house of Sirhind that tomorrow morning the Qayyūm of this time will depart from this mortal world to the eternal place.

Deputies and descendants

According to an authentic narration, Imam Ma’sūm had about nine hundred thousand direct disciples and seven thousand of them were authorized as deputies in the Sufi Path. Many names of his deputies are found in various sources. All six of his sons received deputyship from him and were among his chief deputies.

Islamic rule in India

Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir (1027-1118 AH) was his murid since his princehood, and continued to be a true lover and disciple of the Imam. After the Imam’s demise in 1079 AH, he remained loyal and sincere follower of the noble sons of Imam, who were then the greatest masters of the Mujaddidi order.

Imam Masoom not only trained Aurangzeb in the Mujaddidi Sufi path, he also took great care to provide Shariah guidance to the king in matters of the state. It was because of this spiritual and religious guidance that Aurangzeb governed the greater India with Shariah rule and banned non-Islamic practices such as music. Khwaja Saifuddin, the fifth son of Imam Masoom, was sent to accompany the king in Delhi and to instruct him to follow Shariah in the day-to-day matters of the court. The emperor not only obeyed the instructions of this great Khwaja, he also received spiritual training from him for which he thanked Imam Ma’soom in a letter.

Many other kings from Central Asia were direct disciples of Hazrat Khwaja Muhammad Masoom. The number of Nawabs and other local rulers who were among his sincere followers is countless.
