Iblees was not one of the angels

My friend told me that iblis (shaitan) used to be an angel. My wife
says that this is not true. Could you please give me some information.
Praise be to Allaah.
Iblees was definitely not one of the angels. This is indicated by
three things: the clear texts of the Qur'aan, the physicalattributes
of Iblees and the attitude of Iblees.
1 – With regard to the clear statements of the Qur'aan, Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And (remember) when We said to the angels: 'Prostrate yourselves unto
Adam.' So they prostrated themselves except Iblees (Satan). He was one
of the jinn"
[al-Kahf 18:50]
Al-Hasan al-Basri said: Iblees was never one of the angels, not even
for an instant. He is the father of the jinn, just as Adam (peace be
upon him) is the father of mankind.
This was narrated by al-Tabari with a saheeh isnaad as stated by Ibn
Katheer in his Tafseer, 3/89.
2 – With regard to his physical attributes, Allaah stated that He
created him from fire. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.
And the jinn He created from a smokeless flame of fire"
[al-Rahmaan 55:14, 15]
and it was narrated in Saheeh Muslim (2996) from the hadeeth of
'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels were created from
light, the jinn werecreated from smokeless fire, and Adam was created
from that which has been described to you."
So it is clear that there is a difference between the physical nature
of the angels and that of Iblees, and he is definitely not one of
them.
3 – With regard to his attitude, Iblees disobeyed Allaah by not
prostrating to Adam, butwe know from the Qur'aan that it is impossible
for the angelsto disobey Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"…angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not,(from executing) the
Commands they receive from Allaah, but do that which they are
commanded"
[al-Tahreem 66:6]
Some reports which are not saheeh have been narrated from some of the
salaf, suggesting that Iblees was the best of the angels, that he was
one of the keepers of Paradise, etc. Imaam Ibn Katheer commented on
that by saying:
Many reports to that effect have been narrated from the salaf, but
most of them come from the Isra'eeliyyaat (reports narrated from
Jewish sources) which were narrated to be examined. Allaah knows best
about the true status of many of them. There are some which can be
rejected out of hand because they go against the truth that wehave
before us. In the Qur'aan there is sufficient information that we have
no need of earlier reports, because hardly any of them are free from
alterations, additions and subtractions, and many things have been
fabricated in them. The earlier nations did not have scholars to
examine these reports and eliminate those which are not sound, as
this ummah has its imams and scholars who have great knowledge and are
pious and righteous, who wrote down the hadeeth and examined it and
showedwhat is sound and what is not, and what is fabricated,
identifying the fabricators, liars and those narrators who were
unknown, and other categories of narrators. All of that was to protect
the status of the Prophet, the Seal of the Prophets and the leader of
mankind (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), lestany lie be
attributed to him and lest anything beattributed to him that hedid not
say or do. May Allaah be pleased with them and make them please and
make the Paradise of al-Firdaws their abode.
Tafseer al-Qur'aan il-'Azeem, 3/90.

He went to a practitioner of witchcraft to undo a spell – can he repent?

Pain squeezes my heart and I am becoming insane. I do not know what is
right and what iswrong anymore. I have done things I always avoided
doing. I moreover did things which I fear are shirk. I fear that all
my deeds are in vain. I feel that mysalaah, fasting, hajj and every
deed that might be good is fruitless. Whenever I read this ayah "If
you join others in worship with Allah, (then) surely, (all) your deeds
will be in vain" it breaks my heart by Allah.What I am saying now is
not of riyaa', it is really what I feel.
Going to pray has become heavy on me. I cannot open the Quran; Ifeel
that the Quran is cursing me because I didnot implement what I have
memorized. Even when I start reading I feel unable to continue, so I
just close it. I ask myself how I will be ableto stand in front of
Allah and say (Wa Eyyaka nasta'een) "You (Alone) we ask for help (for
eachand everything)." Wherehas this "seeking help" gone? I used before
to depend only on Allah and ask His help. I used to make du'a and
persistin it; I always felt I am close to Allah, even after this spell
matter I used tomake much du'a but I did not have patience. I feel
that Allah has tested me and I failed this test due to lack of
patience.
I feel that all my deeds are not accepted. I almost hear a sound
saying to me: "why do anything when it will not be accepted? After
what you have done all your deeds are not, nor will be accepted, all
yourdeeds are in vain".
What I have done in brief is that I went to a magician to counteract
aspell that was put on me after marriage. For morethan one month he
has been giving me things that are not understandable while I feel
hatred to be with him. I hatefully took them while I was like
heedless. Is not this a type of shirk that makes all deeds in vain and
nullifies his Islam? Did not the prophet (PBUH) say: "Incantations,
amulets and being attached to tangible things are shirk."? And said
also: "Whoever goesto a fortune-teller and believes what he says, is
kaafir of what has been revealed on Muhammad"?
Please help me; I am in pain by Allah. I have no luck in this life,
nothing of my wishes has become true, and I fear Ihave a bad end so I
lose everything in life and hereafter.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Your feeling that you have sinned, and the pain that you feel in your
heart because of that, indicate that your faith is sound and that your
heart is pure. This isa blessing that Allaah hasbestowed upon you, for
those whose hearts are truly alive are those whoare affected by sin
and who flee to Allaah in repentance and seeking forgiveness. As for
those whose hearts are deadened, they are not affected by commission
of sins, as it is said: The dead feel no pain.
Allaah says concerning the people of faith (interpretation of the meaning):
"Verily, those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious), when an evil thought
comes to them from Shaytaan (Satan), they remember (Allaah), and
(indeed) they then see (aright)"
[al-A'raaf 7:201]
What is meant is that they commit sins, then they remember the
punishment of Allaah and His great reward, and His promises and
warnings, so they repentand turn to Him, and they seek refuge with
Allaah, and come straight back to Him. "and (indeed) they then see
(aright)" i.e., they realize the error of their ways and set
themselves straight. End quote from Tafseer Ibn Katheer.
All you have to do is repent and seek forgiveness, and remember that
you are turning to a Lord Who is Most Merciful, Who rejoices over the
repentance of His slave and accepts it from him, and turns his bad
deeds into good deeds, no matter what these bad deeds were.
It is as if you do not realize that Allaah acceptthe repentance of
kaafirs, atheists, evildoers and sinners if they repent and turn back
to Him, so how can He not accept the repentance of believers if they
fall into sin, whenthey are the ones who love Him and turn to Him, who
bow and prostrate, who do wudoo' and purify themselves, and know that
no one can forgive their sins except Him, and no one can help them to
mend their waysexcept Him; so they hasten to regret (their sin) and
seek His forgiveness, and say: OurLord, we have wronged ourselves, and
if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will be among the
losers. The Most Merciful says to His angels: My slave knew that no
one forgives sinsexcept Me. I bear witnessto you that I have forgiven
him. Then his sorrow and worry disperse, and contact with Allaah is
re-established and he feels comforted. By Allaah, how sweet is the joy
of the penitents and how beautiful is the return of the sinners.
The Most Merciful Lord says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Know they not that Allaah accepts repentance from His slaves and
takes the Sadaqaat (alms, charity), and that Allaah Alone is the One
Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful?"
[al-Tawbah 9:104]
"And those who invoke not any other ilaah (god) along with Allaah, nor
kill such person as Allaah has forbidden, except for just cause,
norcommit illegal sexual intercourse __ and whoever does this shall
receive the punishment.
69. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and
he will abide therein in disgrace;
70. Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and
do righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their sins into good
deeds, and Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful"
[al-Furqaan 25:68-70]
al-Bukhaari (7507) and Muslim (2758) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may
Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: "A man committed a sin and said:
'O Lord, forgive me.' His Lord said: 'Does My slave realize that he
has a Lord Who forgives sin, and calls people to account for sin? I
have forgiven My slave.' Then as much time passed as Allaah willed,
then he sinned again and said: 'My Lord, I have sinned again, please
forgive it.' [Allaah] said: 'Does My slave realize that he has a Lord
Who forgives sin, and calls people to account for sin? I have forgiven
My slave.' Then as much time passed as Allaah willed, then he sinned
again and said: 'My Lord, I have sinned again, please forgive it.'
[Allaah] said: 'Does My slave realize that he has a Lord Who forgives
sin, and calls people to account for sin? I have forgiven My slave.'"
And Muslim (2749) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased
with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you did
not commit sin, Allaah would dispense with you and create people who
would commit sins then ask Allaah for forgiveness, then he would
forgive them."
So hasten to repent, regret your sin and seek forgiveness, and do a
lotof righteous deeds, and receive glad tidings of goodness and
success.
Secondly:
One of the tricks of the shaytaan is to make sin appear attractive to
a person, so as to make him fall into it, then make him despair of
repenting; he gives him false advice: How can you return to Allaah
when you have done what you did? Do you not feel ashamed before Him?
Do you think He will accept it from you? Aperson's sin may be major,
such as zina, thenhe leads him through that into something that
constitutes kufr, such as not praying. So think about how the shaytaan
toys with this man.
As for the believer, the shaytaan has no way to reach him in this
manner, because he knows what we have stated above, about repentance
being essential and about his Lord rejoicing over it, and how He
honours those who repent and turns their bad deeds into good deeds.
Thirdly:
It is not permissible to go to practitioners of witchcraft,
soothsayers or fortune-tellers, even ifthat is in order to undo
aspell, which is called nushrah. Rather spells are to be treated with
Qur'aanic verses and Prophetic du'aa's, and by turning to the
Creatorof mankind, may He be glorified and exalted. See the answer to
question no. 11290 and 48967 .
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever
goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will
not be accepted for forty days." Narrated by Muslim (2230).
And he said: "Whoever has intercourse with a menstruating woman or
with a woman in her back passage, or goes to a fortune-teller and
believes what he says, has disbelieved in that which Allaah revealed
toMuhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)."
Narrated by Ahmad (9779), Abu Dawood (3904), al-Tirmidhi (135) and Ibn
Majaah (936); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Majaah.
This is to be understood as referring to minor kufr, according to many
scholars, unless he believes that the practitioner of witchcraft or
fortune-teller has knowledge of the unseen.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "...and
askshim about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty
days" - the apparent meaning of the hadeeth is that just asking him
something means that his prayer will not be accepted for forty days,
but this is not absolute. Asking a fortune-teller and the like falls
into several categories:
1 - Asking him a question. This is haraam because the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to
afortune-teller ..." The fact that punishment is confirmed when asking
him indicates that it is haraam, because there isno punishment except
for doing a haraam action.
2 - Asking him and believing him, and paying attention to what he
says. This is kufrbecause believing that he has knowledge of theunseen
is disbelieving the Qur'aan, as Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghayb (Unseen) except Allaah"
[al-Naml 27:65].
3 - Asking him in order to test him and find out whether he is telling
the truth or lying, not in order to follow what he says. There is
nothing wrong with this and it is not included in the hadeeth. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked Ibn Sayyaad:
"What am I hiding from you?" He said: Al-dukh (referring to Soorat
al-Dukhaan).
He said: "Be off with you! You will never go beyond your rank." The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asking about
something that hewas concealing from him in order to test him, and he
told him of it.
4 - Asking him in order to show up his inability and lies, so he tests
him with things. This may be obligatory or essential.
Undoubtedly, disprovingthe sorcerer's statementsis something
essential, and it may be obligatory. So asking questions of the
fortune-teller is not haraam in allcases, rather it depends on what is
indicated by the shar'i evidence. End quote from al-Qawl al-Mufeed
(2/49).
Based on this, if you did not believe that this practitioner of
witchcraft had knowledge of the unseen, then you are safe from major
kufr, praise be to Allaah.
Some scholars are of the view that it is permissible to undo
witchcraft with witchcraft, but this is a weak view, that opens the
door to evil and encourages practitionersof witchcraft to carry on
with their falsehood andencourages others to learn witchcraft on the
grounds that they will benefit people.
Wearing an amulet in the belief that it can bring benefit or cause
harm is major shirk. Believing that it has some effect is minor shirk.
See question no. 34817 .
We ask Allaah to accept your repentance and to erase your sins, and to
give you well being in your religious and worldly affairs.
And Allaah knows best.

She thinks that the jinn are stealing from her house

I am a Muslim woman living in Europe. I have been living in my home
for a year. Few months ago I noticed that some things are disappearing
from my home. Initially I did not care about it. Butsomething returned
after it disappeared, I have been looking for this thing for three
months in the same place where I found it eventually. I became really
frightened and started to remember all things that disappeared before.
My heart is full offear and doubt. Are there devils or something in
this house?I pray regularly and readQuran daily, Alhamdulillah. I may
neglect the daily adhkaar sometimes but now I am Alhamdulillah regular
in saying them. I still fear for myself and family. Shall I leave this
home or not? I cannot tolerate living here anymore, I am really tired,
please help me.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
You have done well to pray regularly and reciteQur'aan daily, because
these are among the best of deeds and meansof protection against
destructive and harmful things. We ask Allaah to protect you and give
youwell being in your religious and worldly affairs.
Secondly:
If you are certain that some things have disappeared from your house,
and that no one who lives with you has taken something for some
reason, and that has happened repeatedly, then it is not unlikely that
that was done by the jinn, because there are good and bad among them,
and there are some who steal for themselves or for others. But the
remedy for that is simple, praise be to Allaah. If you mention the
name of Allaah whenyou put something down, and you say the name of
Allaah when you enter the house, andwhen you shut the door,then the
jinn will have no way of entering your house or taking any of your
things.
Muslim (2018) narrated from Jaabir ibn 'Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) say: "When a man enters his house, and mentions
Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, when he enters and when he
eats, the shaytaan says: 'You have no place to stay and no dinner.'
But if he enters and does not mention Allaah when he enters, the
shaytaan says, 'You have found a place to stay.' And if he does not
mention Allaah when he eats, he says: 'You have found a place to stay
and dinner.'"
And Muslim (2012) narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him
that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "Cover vessels, tie up waterskins, close doors and
extinguish lamps, for the shaytaan does not undo waterskins or open
doors or uncover vessels.If one of you cannot findanything but a stick
to place over his vessels, or to mention the name of Allaah, let him
do so…"
Al-Bukhaari (3280) narrated it with the wording: "Shut your door and
mention the name of Allaah; extinguish your lamps and mention the name
of Allaah; tie up your waterskins and mention the name of Allaah;
cover your vessels and mention the name of Allaah, even if you just
place something on top of it."
Based on this, if you shutthe door and mention the name of Allaah, and
you put your things in a box, for example, and say the name of Allaah,
then they will be protected, in sha Allaah, because the shaytaan
cannot upon a door or uncover a vessel.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, concerning
the lessons learned from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah and his
conversation with the jinni who was stealing from the zakaah dates:
The jinn eat human food, and they speak human words, and they steal
and cheat. It also points to the virtue of Aayat al-Kursiy and the
virtue of the last verses of Soorat al-Baqarah, and tells us that the
jinn can get food over which the name of Allaah has not been
mentioned. End quote.
If you take these means, but you still do not feel comfortable staying
in the house, then it is better to look for another house. Abu Dawood
(3942) narratedthat Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: A man said: O Messenger of Allaah, we lived in a house and we
were great in number and wealthy, then we movedto another house where
our numbers and our wealth grew less. The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Leave it for it is bad."
Classed as hasan byal-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Sultan ul Arifin Hazrat Sultan Bahu (R.A) - Sufism Biographies

HU is within, HU is without, HU always reverberates in my heart.
The would in my heart aches constantly
With the un-abating pain of HU's love.
The darkness of ignorance departs
From the heart lit by HU (God Allah)
I sacrifice myself to the one, O Bahu,
Who has realized the significance of HU.
God is within you, say allmasters and saints
During the reign of Mughal king Shah Jehan,Bazid Muhammad was one of
his important officials. He was not onlyHafiz-e-Quran but also a great
scholar and was very much respected even by the king. He married to a
very religious women of his own family namely Rasti Bibi.
Shah Jehan appointed him the official (magistrate) of Kohistan and
after sometime he was sent to Multan. This area was very much liked by
him and he refused the king to go back to Kohistan, as the king
regarded him very much, he did not stress him to leave Multan. Shah
Jehan gave a village namely Kehar Gan. After sometime Hazrat Bazid
shifted to Shorkot permanently.
Rasti Bibi was very religious women and it was due to her religious
personality that Hazrat Bazid's life also changed.Rasti Bibi was such
a pious lady that she offered her "Tahjad" prayer even on that morning
Hazrat Sultan Bahu was born. She had great place in spirituality.
Hazrat Sultan Bahu cameinto this world in 1039 AH 1629 AD. He
belongedto Awan family. Awans are the descendents of Hazrat Qutab Shah
who was the uncle of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. Hazrat Qutab
shah was the descendent of Hazrat Muhammad Bin Hanifia (Hazrat Ali
(RA))
Hazrat Sultan Bahu was a born saint and his name Bahu was given tohim
on the order of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).
Her mother educated him spiritually in his childhood and Hazrat Sultan
Bahu's face was so much attractive that many Hindus accepted Islam
just after seeing his Face. At last a group of Hindus met Hazrat Bazid
Muhammad and requested him to make aschedule, for the safety of their
religious. His father died in his childhood and his mother arranged
best teacher of his time for his education and he acquired all the
knowledge very quickly because of his extra ordinary intelligence.
Soon, he became famousas a religious scholar. Owing to his mother's
teaching, he had a great inclination towards spirituality and his
immersion was extraordinary.
He got married in his early youth and twice or thrice afterwards.
When he was thirty year of age, he had a very extraordinary vision in
which he saw Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the spiritually
recommendations and support of Hazrat Ali(RA) and Hazrat Sheikh Abdul
Qadir Jilani. The Prophet (PBUH) himself took his bay'ah and allowed
him to pass on the sufi teaching.
He often mentioned in his books about his presence in the spiritual
meetings presided by the Prophet (S.A.W) himself. However in the
treatise of the spirit, he calls Hazrat Sheikh AbdulQadir Jilani his
Murshid . He is always lavish in thepraise of Hazrat and callshimself
Qadiri. In his eyes, the teaching of theQadiriya order were most
effective for the spiritual development bythe disciplines. But at the
same time it is evidently clear that by the Qadiriya order, he means
the one that he himself represented. He names it Sarwari Qadiri.
His mother was very pleased to hear the vision and asked him to have a
bay'ah of 'murshid'. Hazrat Sultan Bahu requested his mother to take
his bay'ah but she replied a women can take bay'ah if it was possible
then the wives of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Hazrat Rabia Basri had also
taken a bay'ah.
So she asked Hazrat Sultan Bahu to go east wards. Finally Hazrat
Sultan Bahu met Hazrat Shah Habibullah who welcomed him very warmly
and asked aboutthe reason of his comingHazrat Sultan Bahu told
everything. After listening, he replied Hazrat Sultan Bahu that wordly
love and Faqr can't go side by side. So Hazrat Sultan Bahu cameback
home and sold most of his land and distributed the money among the
poor. When he returned to Hazrat Shah Habibullah and requested him to
take his bay'ah.
He asked him to go to Delhi, where Sheikh Abdur Rehman Qadri is
living. He will take bay'ah. So he left that place and when he reached
Delhi, a person asked him name and told him that he is the disciple of
Sheikh Abdur Rehman Qadri, he was orderd to welcome Sultan Bahu was
much astonished to hear all this and said, yes I am Sultan Bahu.
That person guided him to the residence of Sheikh Abdur Rehman took
the bay'ah of Hazrat Sultan Bahu. Hazrat Sultan Bahu was much pleased
after the bay'ah and started giving solution of people's problems.
People started visiting him and soon he becamefamous all around. He
became a hope of light for hopeless people. When Sheikh Abdul Rehman
heard this he called on Sultan Bahu and said, we did not give you all
this to distribute in such a way. Hazrat Sultan Bahu replied, I did
this because if I need more so that I can get it from you.
Secondly I know that here you are on my backand thirdly Holy prophet
(PBUH) orderd me to help the people. Then Hazrat Sheikh Abdur Rehman
gave him the permission to serve will remain forever. When hecame back
home Rasti Bibi was very much pleased to see him. He started working
on his remaining land and preaching also due to which a large number
ofpeople embraced Islam.
It is narrated that a poorbut respectable Sayed was advised by a
dervishto seek Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) for his materialneeds. The sayed
found Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) working in the fields under intense heat.
Sayed was disappointed that what can this man give him when himself
seems in want and dressed in tattered clothes. Disappointed, Sayed
decided to return to his village. As he was turning back, Hazrat
Sultan Bahu(RA) called Sayed Sahib, why are you turning back speak
what do you see? Sayed narrated his material needs to the Saint.
Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) asked Sayed to excuse him while he attended the
call of nature. After returning, the Saint threw the stone with which
he dried himself in anger at the direction of the Sayed .
Wherever the stone made contact with the clay ground wher they were
standing turned into gold ingots. Sayed was told to take the goldfor
his needs and depart immediately so that nobody could be aware of what
had taken place.It is said that this gold in the form of jewellery is
still extent in the same family for several generation.
Once Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) was accompanied by his attendant Sultan
Naurang Khatran (RA) a dervish who was blessedwith spiritual light by
the Saint himself when they approached the vicinity of kellar Keha,
the approach of the month of Ramazan had been heralded in by the
drumbeat of a caller form nearby village. Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) spent
the entire month of Ramazan meditating in an isolated cave in
themountains nrearby. Drowned in the ocean ofmercy and remembrancethe
entire month of Ramazan passed with out the intake of food on the part
of the saint.
The dervish who accompanied the Saint had received daily his food for
Sehri and Iftaar miraculously by a deer which used to appear with the
food tied on its horns. This happening has been put into verse by
Hazrat Naurang Khatran (RA) the attendat himself.
He said:
Strange and wonderous,my sight did witness.
Spectacle of Bahu,
Load of lover; carried on horns of a deer.
At the approach of Eid, a call was heard from the nearby village
announcing the end of Ramazan. Disturbed by the sound of drumbeats
from the village, Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) raised his head from the
meditation and enquired his attendant as to what all the noise was
about. Sultan Naurang Khatran (RA) replied Hazrat the Eid moon has
been sited and you in a state of intoxication and annihilation in the
remembrance of Allah for the entire month. The Saint exclaimed: What
about my fast, salaam and taravee for the month or Ramazan. It is
narrated by his attendant that despite having being in a state of
intoxication in the remembrance of Allah, Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA)
performed all his Qaza fasts and Salaats. This is the state of the
true friends of Allah that theydo not even for one moment leave aside
the Sunna of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) or any other obligatory commands
of the Shari'a. it is said that thisepisode of cave is the only one
time that Hazrat Sultan Bahu(RA) had been in a state of intoxication,
otherwise his entire life had been spent in a state of sobriety, so
much so thathe did not miss even a single Mustahab act of the Shari's.
Hazrat SultanBahu(RA) completed his Qaza fasts and Salaats. It is
narrated that thereafter the Saint gavespiritual attention to thedeer
and it expired.
A grave was dug and thedeer was buried near the cave in which the
saint had passed his month of Ramazan. My grand Sheikh, Hazrat Faqir
Noor Muhammad Sarwari Qaderi (RA), visited this place and reported
that even today one can feel the spiritual light, radiance, brilliance
and luminous vibration energy in the cave and surrounding area.
It has such a magnetic effect on the visitor that any sincere seeker
sitting in the cave in the remembrance of Allah experience a state of
illumination.
