The hearts trembles in pain as it remembers the events of Karbala
What vile cowards who have massacred the family of Beloved ﷺ at Karbala

Woe!! They have spilt the blessed blood of the Beloved ﷺ upon the scorching sand in Karbala
What shame they have lifted their weapons upon the beloveds of the Beloved ﷺ in Karbala

Even this pen shakes with sorrow, how can some hearts not even feel the pain at how the family of the Beloved ﷺ was slayed in Karbala
That fragrant neck of Al Hussain (as) kissed by this Beloved ﷺ, such audacity, they have slit that blessed neck in Karbala

Many were preferred for positions of leadership but only ONE family preferred to taste martyrdom for the sake of Islam
They carry the secret of the glorious Quran, for they shall never part until they meet the Beloved ﷺ at Al Kawthar

The ultimate sweet nectar of martyrdom to quench the thirst of the ultimate spiritual quest, to lay one’s life with love for the sake & glory of Allah ﷻ
Blessed are all those who sacrificed their lives for Islam & the glory of Allah ﷻ

How graceful must the sight of Sayyiduna Jaffar Tayyar (ra), Imam Hussain (ra) & Sayyiduna Ali Akbar (ra) have been as they rode upon their horse with such elegance
Such grace that the angels gazed in awe at the aura of the blessed Ahlul Bayt, beautifully slaying the falsehood of those who claimed greatness with their blood

Oh heart, this pain is fragranced by the remembrance of the blessed family of the Beloved ﷺ at Karbala
Oh, Hussain ibne Ali (as), salutations upon You & your companions, indeed your blood has fragranced the deen in Karbala

Oh, Hussain ibne Ali (as), as weak as we are, accept our salutations carried upon the breeze of our love to your courtyard in Karbala
Oh, Lord accept our drenched hearts in the love for the blessed Ahlul Bayt, who stood firm for your sake at Karbala

Ameen

Love is the road
Love is the journey
Love is the destination
Love is the reality

The hurt felt by the words of others, allows one to reflect upon its reality
At times the wisdom learnt from those moments shapes one’s journey

The sweetness of the attaining the truth might seem bitter
But the reality is, without bitterness one may never know the joy of the sweetness

Life is such, effort & challenges allows us to enjoy those moments of joy with gratitude
It is in the wisdom of the Lord that prepares us for the challenges & joys in life

The hurt might sting, but the sweet balm of truth benefits one throughout their life
May it be that we show compassion when conversing but never waiver from the truth

Jumuah Mubarak

With one charming look of thee, I was ushered into a realm of absolute love
Taunting me with that smile of thee, I was embraced by thy mystical love

A dagger tip laden with infatuated bliss, thee has inflicted this wretched heart of mine
Slained by the dagger of love, my soul now seeks only thy wine

Sweet blissful wine have thee dispensed with the dagger of oblivion
A never ending thirst quenching wine that continues to flow from thy dagger of oblivion

Enchantingly thee has inflicted my existence solely in thy love
Glory to Him who sold me as thy slave in His market of love

May thy dagger of oblivion forever sweetly slain the heart of thy lovers in thy love
Indeed with each charming look of thee, I have been slained countless times in thy love

Be grateful & joyous at the day the Beloved ﷺ proclaimed Sayyiduna Ali (ra) as our Mawla
A day of joy for the Ummah, indeed the joy amongst the companions as they embraced their Mawla

Be grateful & appreciative at the glorious service to Islam by the possesser of the 2 lights
Sayyiduna Uthman (ra) the most humble warrior who enlightened those around him love

A love of Mawla Ali (ra) instructing his 2 lights to stand guard at the home of the Sayyiduna Uthman (ra)
When the great companions held each other in esteem & honour, why the silly bickering

There are those who ignite the flame of disrespect in the name of truth
When the truth of the matter is they have no honour to begin with

There are those who similarly become vocal in Rajab with the great practice of Sayyiduna Imam Jaffar Sadiq (ra)
The reality of their heart becomes evident, for their hearts cannot truly fathom the virtue of the blessed Ahlul Bayt

Silly bickering when love, honour, adoration & joy is practiced at the crowning of our Mawla
While many were companions who loved our Mawla & expressed joy at the crowning of our Mawla

Patience for all our elders are fading…
Annoyance takes over & honouring our elders are fading

Words are words, but with the tone of respect carries honour
Harsh tones have found its way more commonly to our elders

Kindness in one’s speech towards our elders allows mercy to grace us
For it was their kind patience that moulded us into honourable people

The Beloved ﷺ has guided us to be kind to both our elders & young ones
For that was the way of the Beloved ﷺ mercy & kindness to all

May we never forget the kindness & love in which we were raised with
May it be means of mercy, kindness & forgiveness for our elders

Qutbe Kokan Shah-e-Deccan Hazrat Pir Khwaja Habib Ali Shah Chishti Nizami Hafizi (RA), is a great wali that continues to inspire the world all these years since his divine veiling from the world 6th Thul Hajj 1323H/01st February 1906.
A man of noble descent tracing his lineage to the great Sahabi, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique
(RA) & a family who exemplified true Muhammadan ﷺ traits. An upbringing filled with piety, love & education, Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) excelled & showing signs of sainthood was initiated by Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Pir Hafiz Muhammad Ali Shah (RA) of Khairabad as his mureed.

Soon enough under the training & tutelage of his Pir Murshid Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Pir Hafiz Muhammad Ali Shah (RA), Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) mastered all subjects pertaining to Tassawuf internally & externally. Hazrat Khwaja Habib Ali Shah (RA) renounce himself & dedicated his life to the mission of his Pir Murshid, Hazrat Sayed Pir Hafiz Muhammad Ali Shah Khairabadi (RA). Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) showed tremendous discipline in the service of his Pir & after being conferred with khilafat, was entrusted to establish & serve Silsilia Chishtiya Nizamiya Fakhriya Sulaimaniya Hafiziya in Hyderabad, Deccan.

Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) thus began to propagate the teachings of the blessed Khwajegaan in Hyderabad where many have benefitted & to this day 120 years later thousands still benefit from all over the world. There have also been those fortunate ones to have reached spiritual perfection at the hands of Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA).
Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) was ushered to the divine sphere on the 6th Thul Hajj
1323H/01st February 1906 & left a beautiful legacy of sweet nectar that many still take sips of love from.

The spiritual landscape in Southern Africa was undoubtedly galvanized to a great standard due to Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) teachings & wisdom by two of his great jewels, Hazrat Shah Ghulam Muhammad Soofie (Soofie Saheb RA) & Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Faqir Muhammad Shah Ahmednagari (RA).
Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Faqir Muhammad Shah (RA) was the mureed & Khatimul Khulafa (Seal of the Khulafa) of Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) from Ahmednagar. A true lover of his Pir Murshid who dedicated his life to the mission & teachings of the Khwajegaan. Total devotion to his Pir Murshid led him to attain the absolute level of Fanaa-fi-Shaykh & Fanaa-fi-Rasool. This could be understood by the fact the final rites of our master Sayyiduna Muhammad (SAW), Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) & Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Faqir Muhammad Shah (RA) were completed after 3 days. Even after their passing the total adab & love is still observed. The lovers love the days of their beloveds and it is with this Hazrat Khwaja Faqir Muhammad Shah was also blessed with his union on Chatti Sharief like that of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA) – 6th Rajab & Hazrat Khwaja Habib Paak (RA) – 6th Thul Hajj.

Indeed, these are just some of the fruits of total devotion to the Pir Murshid. Currently the Sadaat family of Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Faqir Muhammad Shah (RA) under the guidance of Sajjadah Nashin Hazrat Sayed Mohsin Ali Shah, is also actively involved in spreading the teachings & wisdoms of Silsila Chishtiya Nizamiya Sulaimaniya Hafiziya Habibiya Faqiriya across India, South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Canada, UK & Australia.

That threshold of my Habib (ra) is where I gift my heart in His love
Obliterated in the hues of His magical spell cast upon me

That threshold of my Habib (ra) is where I lower my head waiting to be slained
Annihilation in the fragrance of His courtyard is what I hope to gain

That threshold of my Habib (ra) where the breeze carries my plea with sincere salams
Absolute serenity I feel as my eyes embrace His grandeur & my heart offers its salams

That threshold of my Habib (ra) where Badruddin Peer became Faqir Muhammad (ra)
Magnanimous is the threshold of my Habib (ra), every devotee leaves a lover of Habib Muhammad ﷺ

That threshold of my Habib (ra) is where my soul whirls like Majnun in His hues
His name caresses my soul like Layla who shatters my bowl filled with His hues

With what sorcery have thee cast upon my heart at thy threshold
What will the sane man know the extent of the insanity thee has pierced my heart

Oh Habib (ra), if this is but one drop of divine hue from your treasures
Then let it be the heart & head of all your lovers, always be lowered in devotion at thy threshold

Urs Mubarak to all mureeds, lovers & devotees

Qutbe Kokan Shah e Deccan
Hazrat Pir Khwaja Muhammad Habib Ali Shah Chishti Nizami Fakhri Sulaimani Hafizi Al Qadri (ra).

May the true teachings of Khwaja Habib Ali Shah (ra) always be embedded in our lives. Ameen
