Acquainted People with the Correct lineage of Sarwari Qadri Order
A significant spiritual accomplishment of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen is to unveil the authentic lineage of the Sarwari Qadri order to the world. Following Sultan Bahoo’s era, a number of individuals with deceptive intentions falsely proclaimed themselves as his spiritual successors. These impostors erroneously associated themselves with the Sarwari Qadri order. Meanwhile, the genuine lineage of the Sarwari Qadri order quietly continued its sacred journey, operating beyond the worldly spotlight. This discreet nature is inherent in the tradition of spiritual guides within the Sarwari Qadri order – they prefer to remain inconspicuous.
Unfortunately, certain opportunistic individuals misused the Sarwari Qadri title, attempting to attract ordinary people towards themselves. However, authentic seekers of Allah remained steadfast in their discernment and were never swayed by such individuals. On the contrary, these impostors managed to captivate the attention of those driven by materialistic desires and worldly pursuits. In catering to the cravings of these materialistic seekers, they amassed considerable followers, attaining a semblance of shallow fame and prosperity.
Revealed the true Successor of Sultan Bahoo
The time has arrived to enlighten Muslims about the genuine identity and immense stature of the Sarwari Qadri spiritual guides. The Mohammadan Assembly entrusted Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman with this momentous responsibility. Through meticulous research and diligent referencing, he unveiled a truth: the rightful spiritual successor after Sultan Bahoo is Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah. Initially, Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah underwent his spiritual training within the Mohammadan Assembly. Subsequently, after a span of one hundred and thirty-nine years from Sultan Bahoo’s death, the Mohammadan Assembly sent Sayyid Abdullah Shah as his spiritual heir. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen brought into prominence the accurate lineage of Sarwari Qadri guides that followed Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah. In a display of scholarly depth, he presented their correct sequence, supported by comprehensive evidence and authentic references.
Spiritual Reward for his services
The spiritual guides of the Sarwari Qadri order collectively recognized and acknowledged all the contributions made by Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen. Therefore, unanimously bestowed him the honorable title of “Shan-e-Faqr,” which means glory of Faqr. Furthermore, they expressed, “Your brilliance holds a special place in the hearts of all the Saints of the Sarwari Qadri order. Since Sultan Bahoo’s era, the authentic essence and brilliance of none of the spiritual guides were as evident to the people. Indeed, you have not only unveiled the true magnificence of this esteemed order but have also acquainted people with the greatness of the Saints of Sarwari Qadri order.
