Syed
Abdul-Razzaque Noorul-Ain(R.A) 
Haji
al-Haramayn, Makhdoom al-Afaaq, Shaykh al-Islam, Saiyedina Huzrat Abd'al Razzaq
Noor al-Ayn al-Ashrafi al-Jilani (Rehmatullahi alaih)- Kicchocha Shareef – Family Background and Genealogy :-
His genealogy transmits from 23th ancestors to Holy Prophet. And his genealogy
transmits from 10th ancestors to Ghawth al-A'zam Huzrat Shaykh Abd al-Qadir
al-Jilani Radi 'Allahu ta'ala anhu
- Huzrat Saiyed Abdul Ghafoor Hasan Jilani(R.A) Huzrat Saiyed Shah Abdur Razzaque Noorul Ain (R.A.) is a renowed and
distinguished mystic of his time who left his native land, Hama Sharif, Syria with
Huzrat Sultan Saiyed Ashraf Jahangir Simnani (R.A.) and made Kichhoucha Sharif
his permanent abode. Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani adopted him as his Farzande Manwi
(Spiritual Son) to see him fascinated and captivated. As a result of this
relation with Huzrat Saiyed Ashraf Simnani, the family of Sadate Hasnain is
known as Khanwadai Ashrafia (Family of Ahrafi) in the world. Let us study his
life and deeds.
Huzrat Abd'al Razzaq Noor al-Ayn Rehmatullahi alaih was born in Hama, Syria
between 750 - 752 A.H. He was the son of Huzrat Saiyed Abd'al Ghafoor
Hasan al-Jilani Radi' Allahu Anho. It was on one of the many travels
of Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu'Anhu that when he used to visit Syria,
and see his cousin Huzrat Saiyed Abd'al Ghafoor Hasan al-Jilani Radi
Allahu'Anhu he was entrusted Huzrat Abd'al Razzaq Noor al-Ayn Rehmatullahi
alaih. At the age of only twelve he had left his family to join his great
uncle Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu 'Anhu. Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf
Radi Allahu 'Anhu loved and cared for his nephew and brought him up as his
own dearest son, and his Khalifa. They remained together like father and
son until Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu Anhu passed away.
Education
under holy supervision of Huzrat Makhadoom Ashraf (R.A) :-
Huzrat Saiyed Makhdoom Simnani (R.A.) took special care for his education as he
was only twelve years old. He himself got him completed Hifz with Querate Saba
(Seven Querats) and taught him,all books of theology like Hadith, Tafsee,
Fiquah, Osule Fiqua, Kalam etc. He made him versed in all these subjects.
Though he received unfathomable knowledge from Makhdoom Simnani, but he wanted
to learn more and more. Once he was going Mecca
with Noorul Ain (R.A.) by a ship in which a Savant of Islam. Moulana Azam Jamaluddin Bakhshi was sitting.He was
a wellknown scholar of Islam. Huzrat Noorul Ain went to him and began
reading Mohtasabi” from him. After some days, the ship anchored at
Mesopotamia and the Moulana wanted to get down and go to Rome for his business of cloth. Huzrat
Makhdoom Ashraf( R.A) asked him to stay in the ship to teach Noorul Ain(R.A)
fully. Making estimate of his profit, he gave him one lack twenty thousand
Dinar by asking his disciples to collect it from every corner of the ship.
Moulana Jamaluddin continued teaching in the ship and finished the book. Again
he was rewarded with one lack twenty thousand Dinar as he had promised. This
time too he asked his followers to go and collect Dinar from different parts of
the ship. This incident is enough to prove his carefulness to the education of
Noorul Ain(R.A) and also indicates his miracle (Karamat) in the ship.
Spiritual Mentor as Huzrat Makhadoom
Ashraf Simnani (R.A) :-
Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani lived in the khanquah of his Shaikh, Huzrat Alaul Haque
waddin, for many years deeply engrossed in meditation and abstinence (Reyazat).
One day he was girding up his lions to be ready for the service of his Shaikh.
Just at that time, he heared the sound of Nalain ( A pair of Shoe with wodden
Saddle) of Shaikh. No sooner did he come out of his private apartment than he
saw him standing there. Huzrat Alaul Haque (R.A.) enquired as to what was he
doing . He replied that he was girding up his lions for the sake of service.
The Shaikh had told him that if he fastened, he should tie it for ever. Huzrat
Makhdoom Simnani readily replied that he had driven out Nafs (Spirit) for ever.
After this incident, his Shaikh, Alaul Haque, (R.A.) marked some changes on his
face as he, in heart of hearts, was thinking who would be his successor because
he had determined not to marry ever. Perceiving his anxiety, he went in to
contemplation for two or three hours, then he raised his head and fore told
that he would get a son who would illuminate his name in the world and that
Farzand. Manwi (adopted son) would belong to his family.
First
interaction with Huzrat Saiyed Makhdoom Ashraf Simnani(R.A) :-
After passing a number of years in the company of his Shaikh at
Pandawa Sharif, Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Simnani(R.A) left for Iraq, Syria and important places .
Passing through Iraq, he
arrived at Hama Sharif, Syria,
where many Sadte Jilani (belonging to the family of Ghousul Azam-(R.A)) lived.
He stayed at the house of Saiyed Abdul Ghafoor Hasan Jilani, father of Abdur
Razzaque Noorul Ain (R.A.). Huzrat Nooril Ain (R.A.) was highly impressed to
see him and passed most of his time in his company. Seeing his excessive
passion for Makhdoom Ashraf Simnani(R.A), Huzrat Abdul Ghafoor Hasan
Jilani(R.A) entrusted his son to him forgiving his all rights on him. His
mother, who was his cousin, also wished him well and bid farewell. Huzrat
Makhdoom Simnani accepted him as his Farzand Manwi (adopted son) in accordance
with the prophecy of his Shaikh, Alaul Huque waddin (R.A.).
Abdur Razzaque(R.A) – “Peace of eyes” of Makhdoom
Ashraf Simnani (R.A.) “Ek Nigahe Murshid ne Kardiya Mujhe
Sona Main Tu Khakh Tha Ashraf Meri Kya Haqeeqat Hai” ( By – Huzrat Ashraful-Uluma) It is a historical fact that Huzrat Makhdoom
Simnani (R.A.) bestowed him all sorts of benediction and kindness and made him
reach on the sublime status of spirituality which could not be gained by
vigorous struggle (Mojaheda). His supplication and firm belief (Aquidat) with
Shaikh, Saiyed Ashraf Jahangir Simnani (R.A.) can’t be expressed in words.
He accompanied him wherever he went and served him
day and night.As a result of this matchless sincerity and affection with him,
Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani endowed him with whatever he had received from his
Shaikh Alaul haque waddin (R.A.) Once, during conversation on the realities of knowledge (Marfat) and way to
Allah ( Soluk) with eminent mystics like Khwaja Abdul Makarim Shaikh Ali and
Shaikh tauquir Uddin , Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani said “ Allah has gifted me two
graciousness viz. secret and pinnacle (Ser and Sar) I sacrificed both on
Farzand (Son), Noorul Ain.Once Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani (R.A.) Said “ people
give birth to children and I have brought Noorul Ain into being by my eyes”. Once Huzrat Makhdoom (R.A.) fell ill in the mosque
of Salehia, Damishque, and every one thought that he would not survive. His
apostles, like Shaikh Ali Simnani, Shaikh Kabir and Shaikh Asil uddin etc were
present there. Every one wanted to be his successor. After sometine, he came in
sense and told that no one should think tobe his successor, as this had been
endowed to Saiyed Abdur Razzaque Noorul Ain. Then he called Noorul Ain and
blessed him.
Huzrat Noorul Ain (R.A.) narrates in “ Lataefe
Ashraf” that once Saiyed Ashraf Jahangir was in vigorous grandeur giving glad
tidings to his disciples. After a while, he turned his face towards him and
told that he had sacrificed himself on him and did not withhold any thing from
him. He further told that he prayed to Allah for his Children to be pious and
accepted, and salik and Mazzoob might continue to be born in his family.
Hearing it, Noorul Ain( R.A) put his head on his feet.
Ascendant to
the Spiritual Throne( Janasheen )
On the 28th Muharram A.H 808, Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu 'Anhu
made him his Janasheen (spiritual successor) the very day that he himself
departed from this mortal world. Huzrat Nizamuddin Esfahani and other disciples
were beside him at that particular time. He had entrusted all of his 'Asrare
Ilahi' (divine secrets) to him and endowed his blessed Khirquah and other
taburrakat as well. Addressing all those that had gathered Huzrat
Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu 'Anhu spoke for the last time and said " Noor
al-Ayn is my true son, he who will deviate from him will get nothing, and he
who will remain with him, will get success in both worlds."
When Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu 'Anhu was about to leave the
world, Huzrat Abd'al Razzaq Noor al-Ayn Rehmatullahi alaih began to weep
bitterly and said the following couplet : “Mara Maguzar tanha Dar
gribi Ke ghurbat badtar Az Jan Kandam nist” "Dont leave me alone in this world as
being far from one's land is harsher than taking a life"
On hearing this Huzrat Makhdoom Ashraf Radi Allahu 'Anhu consoled him and said
: “Madar Khali Az ham Nahini Morra Ke Binam Tora gar na bini Mora” "Dont think of yourself far from associations,
that I will see you, if you will not see me"
Great
Spiritual healer :-
The spiritual greatness of Saiyed Abdul Razzaque Noorul Ain (R.A.) reached on
such a peak of excellence and Loftiness that words are inadequate to express
it. Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani (R.A.) brought him up with great care and filled
his heart with the light of mysticism and spirituality to such an extent that
he became embodiment of all spiritual virtues and qualities of him. Huzrat
Noorul Ain remained in his service for Sixty eight years and during this period
he was too faithful, obedient, good fearing and sincere to explain it. Once Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani himself wanted to know
his spiritual greatness practically. He said to Noorul Ain, “ Amir Ali beg,
Turki has been in the service of this family for a long time, now he desires to
be virtuous and godly, and still no one has laid his hand of sway on him,
divert your attention so that I myself may assess your status of spirituality”.
First, Huzrat Noorul Ain hesitated to do so but being compelled to do so, he
obeyed and went in to observation to illuminate his dark world with the light
of spirituality; within a few hours of observation, Amir Ali beg,s condition
changed and he became a renewed mystic. Huzrat Makhdoom Simnani was glad and
asked the learned men to ask difficult questions on any subjects, they asked
and Amir Ali beg answered like a great Savant.
Huzrat Abd'al Razzaq Noor al-Ayn Rehmatullahi alaih finally left this
world on 872 A.H. His dargah (shrine) is right next to his Pir o Murshid Huzrat
Sultan Saiyed Makhdoom Ashraf Jahangir Radi Allahu 'Anhu in Kicchocha Shareef. |
