    Default Spiritual Ranks of Imam Rabbani

    Spiritual Ranks of Hadhrat Imam Rabbani

    some brother insisted to me for writing about the ranks and merits of Hadhrat Imam Rabbani Mujaddid Alf-e-Thani (r.a). I'm writing just few out of few of his blessed ranks. Insha Allah if allowed, I will write more to glorify Imam Rabbani and make this deed the reason of forgiveness for me.

    Excerpts from the book Mubda wa Mi’ad

    And I completed this path (of Sulook) with the spiritual coaching of Hadhrat Ali (r.a) (page 94)

    And then with the help of spirituality of Hadhrat Khwaja Naqshbandi, I went higher from that Name to the level of Qabliyat-e-Ula, which is also known as Haqiqat-e-Muhammadi (s.a.w). (page 94)

    And after that with the spiritual help of Hadhrat Faruq Azam (Hazrat Umer) I went still higher. (page 94)

    And progress to that stage was awarded to me with the spiritual coaching of Holy Prophet (s.a.w). (page 94)

    Upto reaching that stage, I also received some help from the spirituality of Hadhrat Khwaja Ala-Uddin Attar (r.a) (khalifa of Hadhrat Khwaja Naqshband). (page 94)

    Upon reaching that stage which is called the stage of Aqtab, this faqeer was awarded the post of Qutb-e-Irshad by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w). (page 95).

    In that last Urooj, which is the Urooj of Stages of Reality, this faqeer received help from the spirituality of Hadhrat Ghaus Al-Azam Muhiyuddin Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a). (page 96)

    Moreover, this faqeer received the capability of Ilm-e-Ladunni (Spiritual knowledge) from the spirituality of Hadhrat Khidr (a.s). But this was until I didn’t pass the Stage of Aqtab. (page 97)

    From those great shuyukh, the spirituality of Hadhrat Khwaja Qutb-uddin help me much greater than other shuyukh. (page 97)

    Once I was sitting in the circle of my friends and was thinking about my faults, … during this feeling, I received the call (from Allah swt) in my Inner that:
    “قد غفرت لک و لمن توسل بک الی بواسطة او بغیر واسطة الی یوم القیامة
    Meaning: I pardoned you and everyone who took your Tawassul (intercession) to me, either directly or indirectly.
    And these words were repeated again and again so that no doubt remained. (page 104)


    Hadhrat Mujaddid Alf-e-Thani was Mujaddid of the second millennium of Hijrah. He himself says that a Mujaddid of millennium is much higher than a Mujaddid of century. Every person in the Ummah who gets Fuyuz and Barkaat, gets from him.

    His birth was predicted by a hadith of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w).
    His birth was also predicted by many shuyukh, like Hadhrat Ghaus al-Azam, Hadhrat Abdul Quddus Ganguhi, Hadhrat Ahmed Jaam, Shaikh Khalil-Allah Badakhshi, Shaikh Saleem Chishti, Makhdoom Jahanian, Bu Ali Qalandar, Shah Kamal Kethali (r.a.a) and many others.

    Bu Ali Qalandar is quoted to have said that Allah s.w.t ordered me to work with those labourers who were building the city of Sirhind, because Shaikh Ahmed Sirhindi will be born in that sacred city.

    Hadhrat Ghaus Al-Azam (r.a) gave the Khirqah of Khilafat to Hadhrat Mujaddid Alf-e-Thani in his lifetime, 500 years before the birth of Imam Rabbani. This Khirqah (gown) was conveyed to Imam Rabbani to various shuyukh.

    Astrologers also predicted his birth and told this to Mughal Emperor Akbar, same as the birth of Hadhrat Musa (a.s) was predicted to Fir’awn.

    The day Imam Rabbani was born, his mother saw in dream that all the Awliya of this Ummah have gathered at her home, and are asking each other to see Shaikh Ahmed, and they said that Allah s.w.t says whoever will see him, I will forgive all his sins.

    His father saw on his birth day, that the Holy Prophet s.a.w has come to my house with many angels, and took the newborn Shaikh Ahmed in his lap, gave Azan and Takbir in his ears, and said that I have handed over all the tasks of this Ummah now to this person, who will handle my Ummah in the next millennium.

    Hadhrat Mujaddid says: I have been produced from the soil leftover from the sacred soil of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w).

    The Ranks of Hadhrat Imam Rabbani are countless. Thousands of Awliya of this Ummah have narrated his holy ranks and degrees and virtues and merits. Insha Allah I will be posting more and more from authentic books written by famous scholars and Awliya.
    Thanks

    After being spritually coached by the Prophet Himself how can Hazrat Mujaddid increase in rank by being coached by someone else.

    Based on my naqis aqal this doesn't seem right.....

    Can someone please clarify

    Brother, do not think it other way. These words are written by a great great shaikh of Tasawwuf and beloved of Allah, who is revered by all the Sunni scholars and shuyukh as the Mujaddid of Second Millenium of Islam.

    What I understand is that this coaching was provided to him in a particular stage, and not in all the way.

    I myself read in his blessed Maktubat Sharif, that once while in muraqba, all the shuyukh of major tariqahs, i.e Qadri, Naqshbandi, Chishti, Suharwardi, Kibrawi, etc, came to him and gave him complete Khilafah of their tariqahs. In the end, Hadhrat Rasul-Allah s.a.w himself came with Khulafa-e-Rashideen and gave him special Nisbat which was direct from the Holy Prophet without any intercession of other Awliyas. This is written in the maktubat itself and is authentic narration by Imam Rabbani himself.

    We can't understand the world of spirituality, as our Naqis Aql cannot go beyond the realities of this material world. We even can't understand the reality of this material world, that spiritual world is far greater than this one. So we should believe what these great shaikhs say, and should not ponder what the real meaning is?

    Thanks

    Now that I read it again, your point does make sense

    True that. No one can deny the spiritual rank of Hazrat Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi , rightfully the mujaddid of the millenium. The only thing I wonder is what is the guarantee the maktoobat that we have today are not fabricated by someone else?

    No they are not fabricated. This is because recent publications of this great book are by great scholars and shuyukh. For example, the famous Urdu translation and publication is by Hazrat Sayyad Zawwar Hussain Shah sahab, who was a scholar and shaikh of Naqshbandi silsila, and khalifa of great shaikh Hazrat Pir Fazal Ali Qureshi (r.a).

    Thanks brother,

    I could not find English translation of this book, and don't think its available. Because this is purely Sufi book, and very hard to translate in English due to lack of sufi terminology.

    Some of the maktubat sharif are in English. you can find them on maktabah.org

    Alhamdulillah I have found the complete English translation of this great book of Hazrat Imam Rabbani, named "The Origin and the Return". I have also updated it on the above link, so you can read online or download it from there.

    The translation is really beautiful, highly descriptive with English terminology as well as original terminology.

    Ghaffari

    a salam wa3alikum

    what is the diffrence between the mujjaddi and naqshbandi haqqani path? I was told by a mureed that the real line of mujadid alf thani qs would have the rock Hazrat Abu Bakt ra put in his mouth to keep him from talking. It was past from generation to generation to the khilafat mutlaq who is the representing the Naqshbandi tariqa. I am looking into the naqshbandi tariqa but their is many path to choose from .. do you have any more information on this?
