🌙 Birth and Childhood Spiritual Glimpses
Hazrat Qibla Alam Thani Sarkar (دامت برکاتہم القدسیہ) was born on the blessed day of Eid al-Fitr, 1st Shawwal 1377 AH, at the time of dawn, in a blessed and radiant moment.
At the time of his birth, his face was glowing with light. Even in infancy, signs of divine illumination began to appear from him.
His noble mother, a saintly woman, used to say that for a whole year a halo of light could be seen under his bed.
Amazingly, during the month of Ramadan, he would not drink milk from dawn to sunset.
All these extraordinary signs showed that his spiritual training had already been written in the heavenly decree.
📖 Early Education, Training, and Love for Remembrance
He received his early education and training from his noble father, Qutb al-Zaman, Beloved of Allah, Hazrat Ghaus Zaman Sarkar Wali-e-Salikabad Sharif (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ).
From childhood, he was deeply attached to the remembrance of Allah and to the company of those who remembered Allah.
He studied formal religious sciences in various institutions, while his spiritual and inner knowledge was gained through the company and blessings of his perfect guide.
He preferred sitting with elderly dhakireen (those who remember Allah) instead of playing with children of his age.
Once, during a walk in Hasan Abdal, two Sikhs witnessed divine lights shining upon him. On this, he said:
“This is the light of blessings that comes because of serving the Mercy of the Universe ﷺ.”
He also explained to them that merely seeing light does not bring salvation. The real secret lies in the love of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, connection with him, and following the Shariah.
🌿 Respect for the Guide and the Path of Faqr
His life was a true example of respect for the spiritual guide and the way of Muhammadan Faqr ﷺ.
He never addressed his noble guide by name, but always with words full of love like “Our Master, our Benefactor, Hazrat Ghaus Zaman Beloved of Allah Wali-e-Salikabad Sharif.”
He never claimed any spiritual perfection for himself but always declared it to be the result of the blessings of the Prophet ﷺ and the grace of his guide.
🌊 The Spring of Sainthood and the Miracle of Water
When there was a shortage of water in the shrine, Hazrat Qibla Alam instructed that a well be dug near the central mosque.
At about 150 feet, the drill struck a rock and stopped. He said:
“If Allah wants to give, He will give from above.”
The next morning, after making supplication at the shrine of his guide, the rock split and a spring gushed forth, which is still flowing today.
In another case, on the 10th of Muharram, during digging in a different place, the drill got stuck. With just his blessed touch, it came free, and again a spring of water started flowing.
These miracles were clear signs of Allah’s blessings, which thousands of visitors still witness with their own eyes.
🕌 Succession and Renewal of the Khanqah System
On 5th December 1986, he was appointed as the Sajjada Nashin (spiritual successor) by his noble father.
At that time, all spiritual trusts, the four paths of Tasawwuf (Naqshbandi, Qadri, Chishti, Suhrawardi), and the blessings of Prophetic connection ﷺ were transferred to his blessed heart.
Afterwards, he organized the system of the Khanqah according to the needs of modern times.
He established great religious institutions such as Jamia Ayesha Khadija al-Uloom for girls, Jamia Azmiya Fayuz al-Quran, and Jamia Azmiya Madinat al-Uloom for boys, from which hundreds of scholars and memorizers of the Quran have graduated.
❤️ Service to Humanity and Social Reform
He started three daily meals of Langar Sharif (free food), set up a free medical complex, and always kept the doors of help open for the poor and needy.
Whoever came to his gathering found peace, Prophetic connection ﷺ, and love of Allah.
Politicians, army officers, teachers, workers, youth, and elderly – all received equal kindness from him.
🌟 Preaching Wisdom and Message of Reform
His message of guidance was always soft, full of advice, and focused on building good character.
He often said:
Do not look for faults, look for virtues.
Advise, do not criticize.
Never let anyone leave empty-handed.
Honor the poor with respect, not by making them feel burdened.
His teachings are a living explanation of the Quranic command:
“And speak kindly to people.” — [Al-Baqarah: 83]
🌹 Summary and Prayer
His blessed life is a beautiful combination of Prophetic love ﷺ, Muhammadan Faqr ﷺ, respect for the guide, and service to humanity.
His personality is like a shining lighthouse in this era, calling lost humanity towards truth, love, and spiritual heights.
May Allah bless him with health, well-being, long life, and continuity of spiritual blessings. Ameen.
