SUCCESSIONHis murshid bestowed upon him the khilafat of the Chistiya Silsila, and declared him his successor. After placing the cloak of khilafat on him, Hazrat Abu Ishaaq Chisti (Radi Allahu Anhu) said: “O Abu Ahmed! You are my son, and whatever spiritual grace I have received from my murshid, I have given it to you.” Thereafter he held Khwaja Abu Ahmed’s (Radi Allahu Anhu) hand, and faced the Qibla, and supplicated: “O Allah! Abu Ahmed is a servant of your court. Whatever I was bestowed with, I have given it to him. I am now entrusting him to you. You make him successful.” A voice from the unseen said: “O Abu Ishaaq! We have accepted Abu Ahmed and have made him our friend. The treasures of Ma’rifat has been placed in his heart.” When Hazrat Abu Ishaaq Chisti (Radi Allahu Anhu) heard this, he became very pleased, and declared: “Abu Ahmed is greater and wealthier than the worldly kings of Arabia and Persia. I swear by Allah, even if the kingdom of Hazrat Sulaiman (Alaihis Salaam) was offered to me, I would have refused. Hazrat Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is the king of all the Derwesh, but he lived in poverty. Who are we to accept the worldly pleasures.” LIFEKhwaja Abu Ahmed Chisti (Radi Allahu Anhu) was always found crying in the fear of Allah. Once a person said to him: “O Abu Ahmed! You are a beloved of Allah. By your one glance, a non-believer becomes a muslim. Then why do you cry so much out of fear?” Hearing these words, he began to cry even more, and said to that person: “Barsia Zahid, and Baljam bin Ba’ud were friends of Allah, and they were also bestowed with great spiritual power by Allah, and many were freed from hell due to them. Due to some reason, when Allah looked at them with displeasure, they lost their imaan, and their fate has remained very famous. Therefore, I cry out of fear for Him, because Allah is very just and whoever he wishes to keep near, he keeps near, and whoever he wishes to keep far, he keeps them distant.” Like all the other Masha’ikh e-Chist, he loved the listening of sama. His mefile-e-sama had such an effect that if a sinner attended it he would become pious, if a sick attended he would be cured. He believed that whatever he had attained was due to sama. He once said, “If I declare the secrets of sama the people would not ask Allah for anything besides sama.” MIRACLEOnce Hazrat Abu Ahmed (Radi Allahu Anhu) was passing through a jungle that was infested with non-believers, who hated muslims. If a muslim was found passing through, they used to be captured, totured, and sometimes they were thrown into burning fire. When Hazrat Abu Ahmed (Radi Allahu Anhu) passed through, he was also captured. He was asked by them: “Are you a muslim?” He replied: “All praise be to Allah! Yes, I am muslim, and I am the reciter of the kalima.” The kuffar then told him: “We have taken the oath of “lath and uzza” (these were the idols that the pagan Arabs worshipped – these were destroyed by the Holy Prophet – Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) that we will not leave any muslim that passes here alive, and we are going to throw you into burning fire, and if you come out alive we will then believe that it is true that, a true reciter of the kalima will not burn in hell.” Hazrat Abu Ahmed (Radi Allahu Anhu) then told them that: “Indeed, you are speaking the truth, because the fire of hell will not touch one who recites the kalima sincerely.” When he said this, the kuffar got angry at him, and told him: “If you are a true muslim, why don’t you enter into the fire, so that we may see your fate.” Immediately Hazrat Abu Ahmed (Radi Allahu Anhu) entered into the blazing fire, and engaged himself in namaaz. When the kuffar saw that the fire became cool, and did not harm the Khwaja, they immediately repented, and became muslims and sincere mureeds of Hazrat Abu Ahmed (Radi Allahu Anhu). DEMISEHazrat Khwaja Abu Ahmed Chisti (Radi Allahu Anhu) passed away on the 1st of Jamadil Akhir, and his mazaar is situated in the village of Chist in Afghanistan. He bestowed the khilafat of the Chistiya Silsila on his dear mureed, Hazrat Khwaja Muhammad Chisti (Radi Allahu Anhu). |

Aap ki wilaadat 6 Ramazaan 260 Hijri (June 874 A.D.) me Chisht me hui.
Aap ke waalid ka naam Sayyed Sultaan Faransafah bin Sayyed Ibrāheem hai.
Aap Hasani saadaat hain.
****************
Aap ki phuphi bahot nek aurat thi aur Khwaja Abu Is’hāq Shaami Chishti rahmatullāhi alaihi ki mureed thi aur Khwaja basa awqaat un ke ghar par khaana khaane ke liye aate the.
Ek baar Khwaja ne mehsoos kiya ke Sultaan ke yaha ek aisa bacha aane wala hai jo ALLĀH ta’ala ka muqarrab banda hoga. Unho ne Sultaan mi biwi ko koi bhi haraam cheez khaane se parhez karne liye farmaaya.
Aap ki wilaadat ke baad aap ki phuphi ne Aap ko apne paas parwarish ke liye rakh liya.
Khwaja Abu Is’hāq Shaami Chishti jab bhi un ke yaha tashreef laate to bataate ke wo wali ki khushbu mehsoos kar rahe hain.
Aap bachpan se hi Khwaja Abu Is’hāq Shaami Chishti se faiz haasil karte rahe.
20 saal ki umr me ek baar aap apne waalid ke saath shikaar ke liye gaye. Aap un se alag hokar ghum rahe the tab Aap ek pahaad ke qareeb maidaan me pahunche to aap ne dekha ke 40 Auliya Allāh Khwaja Abu Is’hāq Shaami Chishti ke saamne ba-adab khade hain. Khwaja ki shaane wilaayat dekhkar Aap foran apne ghode se neeche utre aur Khwaja ke qadmo me aa gaye aur phir apna shaahi libaas utaarkar saada libaas pehan liya aur khwaja ke mureed ban gaye.
Jab aap ke waalid ko is baat ka pata chala to unho ne aap ko bahot samjhaaya magar aap na maane aur Khwaja ki sohbat me hi zindagi guzaarne ka iraada kar liya.
******************
Aap akṡar roza rakhte the.
Rozaana 2 martaba pure Qur’an majeed ki tilaawat kiya karte the.
Aap 30 saal tak raat bhar jaagkar Ibaadat aur Muraaqaba kiya karte the.
7 saal tak namaaz e tahajjud ada karne ke baad ek baar aap ne dua ki ‘Ya ALLĀH! Tere bando par raham kar. Ummate Mustafa ke gunaahgaaro ko bakhsh de.’
Ghaib se aawaaz aai ‘Aye Abu Ahmad! Hum ne tumhari dua qubool farmai hai aur 10000 gunaahgaar ummatiyo ko bakhsh diya hai. Roz e mehshar wo sab tumhare saath jannat me daakhil honge.’

Karaamat :

(1) Ek martaba Aap apne waalid Sultaan Faransafah ke sharaab khaane me gaye aur waha maujood tamaam sharaab ko phenk diya. Jab aap ke waalid ko pata chala to Sultaan ne ghusse me aakar ek bahot bada patthar aap ki taraf phenka. Magar ALLĀH ke fazl wo patthar hawa me hi rook gaya aur kisi ko koi nuqsaan na pahuncha. Ye dekhkar Sultaan ne tauba kar li aur aap ka mureed ho gaya.
(2) Ek martaba Aap kuffaar ke ek giroh ke paas se guzre jo musalmano ko aag me daalkar zinda jala dete the. Unho ne aap se kaha ‘Ab tumhara haal kya hota hai dekhte hain? Aap ne farmaaya ‘Sache mo’min ko kabhi aag jala nahi sakti.’ Phir aap ne aag ki taraf dekha aur apne musalla ke saath aag me daakhil ho gaye. Kaafiro ko ye dekhkar ja’ajjub hua ke Aap ko aag ne koi nuqsaan nahi pahunchaya. Ye dekhkar waha maujood tamaam logo ne aap se maafi maangi aur Islaam me daakhil ho gaye.
