Biography of Sultan-ul-Arifeen Sultan Bahoo
Birth
Sultan Bahoo was born on Thursday the 1st of Jamadi-us-Sani in 1039 H (17 January, 1630 A.D). Moreover, it was the time of Fajr prayers. Actually, Sultan Bahoo born in the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in Shorkot, District Jhung, Pakistan (then India).
Tribe
Moreover, he belonged to “Awan” tribe of the progeny of Ali ibn Abi Talib. In fact, Awans are Ali ibn Abi Talib’s children from wives other than Fatimah bint Mohammad.
Parents
Sultan Bahoo’s father Bazyed Mohammad was a soldier by profession. Additionally, he was a titleholder in Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s army. Whereas, his mother Bibi Rasti rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh was a saintly woman. Therefore, she already knew the grandeur and status of Sultan Bahoo before his birth. So, according to his status of annihilation in Allah (fana-fi-Hoo) she named him Bahoo (one with Hoo (ھُو)).
Sultan Bahoo says:
Sultan Bahoo was a Saint by Birth
Sultan Bahoo was a Saint by birth. Therefore, he remained engrossed in spiritual experiences and triumphed in the doubtless from an early age. Moreover, Sultan Bahoo gained his early esoteric and spiritual education from his mother.
Miracle of Sultan Bahoo since his Childhood
Since his childhood, a non-Muslim would immediately recite Kalma if his eyes fell on the enlightened face of Sultan Bahoo. Such was the intensity of the Divine light on his face.
Divine Search and Presence in Mohammadan Assembly
As he states in his books, ‘I searched for a spiritual guide (Murshid) for thirty years but in vain’. It was because he already held such elevated heights of Faqr where access for anyone is extremely arduous. Therefore, Sultan Bahoo relates one of his revelations in his book. Once, engrossed in vision of Allah, he was wondering in the surroundings of Shorkot. Then, Ali ibn Abi Talib came and took him to the Mohammadan Assembly. Moreover, People of Cloak, Rashidun Caliphs and Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani were also present.
Sultan Bahoo swore oath of allegiance at the sacred hands of the Holy Prophet. Then Holy Prophet entrusted Sultan Bahoo to Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani for further spiritual guidance. That is why Sultan Bahoo always refers Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani as his Murshid and spiritual guide in his books. Moreover, he says that when Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani blessed me esoterically, I surpassed all the spiritual levels from eternal beginning till eternal end.
He reached the level of Divine Oneness in Lahoot La Makan.
Oath of Allegiance
Afterwards, on the orders of Abdul Qadir Jilani he took an oath of allegiance. As per order, he swore allegiance at the hands of Shaikh Sayyid Abdul Rehman Jilani Dehlvi. Moreover, Shaikh Sayyid Abdul Rehman Jilani Dehlvi entrusted Faqr to him in just one meeting.
Sultan Bahoo has the highest status of Sultan-ul-Faqr (Fifth). Therefore, this status and splendour of Sultan Bahoo is beyond anyone’s imagination.
Sarwari Qadri Order
Sultan Bahoo belonged to Sarwari Qadri chain. Originally, the Qadri order reaches Holy Prophet through Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. Moreover, there are two offshoots of Qadri order, Zahidi Qadri and Sarwari Qadri. Sultan Bahoo refers only the Sarwari Qadri order the real Qadri order. As he says:
Off Shoots of Qadri Order
Qadri order has two off shoots; Sarwari Qadri and Zahidi Qadri. Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide has perfect command over contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. He blesses the seeker with the spiritual education and Divine guidance through Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Spiritual guide grants him the status equal to his own on the very first day. The seeker becomes indifferent and independent of all needs, his attention remains focused only on the Truth. Hence, gold and soil become equal for him. On the contrary, the follower of Zahidi Qadri order has to devote at least twelve years to very hard mystic struggles. So much so that his stomach remains empty. After twelve years, he becomes eligible to be present before Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. He attains the status of a majdhub (spiritually lost) devotee. Whereas the status of a Sarwari Qadri is that of a beloved devotee. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
Sarwari Qadri Murshid
He describes the status of Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide and devotees in these words: What is the initial level of Sarwari Qadri? It is that the perfect Qadri spiritual guide drowns the true seeker of Allah in the Divine light of gnosis of Allah. Moreover, he grants him the presence of Mohammadan Assembly. He grants him just by his glance or by the contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Or by the invocation of Islamic creed or by his spiritual attention. This is the first day lesson of the Qadri followers. The spiritual guide who neither knows this lesson nor takes disciples to the Mohammadan Assembly is not Qadri guide. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
Sultan Bahoo himself holds this status. He says:
Sultan-ul-Faqr
Sultan Bahoo holds the status of Sultan-ul-Faqr (Fifth). That is why status and splendour of Sultan Bahoo is beyond anyone’s imagination. He says that, “I have been ordered and given powers by the Holy Prophet to guide everyone. No matter, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, alive or dead and lead them all to Allah till the Doomsday. Holy Prophet has granted me the titles ‘Mujtaba Akhir Zamani’ and ‘Mustafa Sani’.” (Risala Roohi Sharif)
Books of Sultan Bahoo
Sultan Bahoo could not get the opportunity to receive worldly education. Because he was so absorbed in the deep rivers of Divinity. Still he has written 140 books about Faqr, gnosis and vision of Allah (Deedar-e-Elahi) for guidance of seekers.
Ism-e-Allah Zaat is the Key to Success
In all his books, he lays emphasis on acquiring Faqr under the spiritual guidance of a Sarwari Qadri Murshid. He declares the invocation (Zikr) and contemplation (Tasawur) of Ism-e-Allah Zaat the key to the ultimate sanctity. Moreover, Sultan Bahoo consider it the only way of purity of soul where the soul gets blessings of Divine vision. Furthermore, it grants presence in the Mohammadan Assembly.
Transference of Faqr
Sultan Bahoo says in his books that despite of all his efforts he could not find a truly capable seeker. To whom he could entrust the treasure of Faqr for the future guidance of devotees.
Finally, on the Ist of Jamadi-us-Sani in 1102 H (Ist March 1691 A.D) he died without transferring this treasure to anyone. Afterwards, Sultan Bahoo entrusted this treasure to Sultan-ul-Tarikeen Sultan Sayyid Mohammad Abdullah Shah Madni Jilani.
Shrine
The Shrine of Sultan Bahoo is in Garh Maharaja Jhung Pakistan. His urs is held on the first Thursday of Jamadi-us-Sani. His title is Sultan-ul-Arifeen.

30th Shaikh of Sarwari Qadri Order
Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali is Sultan-ul-Faqr 6th. Moreover, the way he held Faqr, is a proof that he holds the status of Sultan-ul-Faqr. Furthermore, spread the Divine light, Faqr and gnosis (Marifat-e-Elahi) in this materialistic world. Consequently, he elevated thousands of his disciples to the extremities of Faqr.
Revolution in the field of Faqr according to New Age
Most importantly, he revolutionized the path of Faqr according to the demands of new age. Therefore, he made it easier to gain the blessings of Faqr. Previously, it was considered against sharia to reveal greatest name of Allah (Ism-e-Azam) i.e. Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Therefore, it was given to specially selected persons only. Now, every Muslim can get Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Undoubtedly, it is because of unmatched spiritual capabilities of Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali. He elevated his disciples to such spiritual heights where they could easily tolerate the luminous and marvels of Ism-e-Allah Zaat.
As it is the law of nature to keep balance in the universe. So with the increasing Satanism in the present world, Faqr is also becoming common. Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali is the greatest example of this balance.

Steps to spread Faqr
To spread Faqr and bounty of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, he took many steps. For example, in 1989 he established an ‘Islahi Jamat’ to attract people towards the esoteric aspect of Islam. Moreover, he himself trained preacher of this organisation and filled their inward with light of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Resultantly, through the efforts of organisation lacs of people got blessing of with Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Moreover, these blessing were not confined to Pakistan but all over the world.
Furthermore, he also established a publication department in 1994. This department published many books based on Faqr and Tasavvuf. In addition, it started publishing a monthly magazine in 2000 based on the teachings of Sultan Bahoo. Furthermore, to spread the teachings of Sultan Bahoo, he arranged to publish his books with proper and accurate translation. Hence, it proved a great guidance for devotees on the path of Faqr.
Title
His title is Sultan-ul-Faqr (sixth) in accordance with his status.
Sultan Mohammad Asghar's way of Preaching Islam
He strongly felt that the religious scholars of today are emphasizing upon the exoteric aspect of Islam. Thereby, they are neglecting soul of Islam. Consequently, they have divided the umma into sections and groups, which is against teachings of Islam. Therefore, it is high time to invite umma towards the real Islam. That is to purify their souls from esoteric diseases like greed, vanity, pride, malice, jealousy etc. When a one’s innerself purifies, the exoteric self is set to right automatically. Resultantly, spiritual purification prevails in each person of the society, whole society is set right. Therefore, society achieve religious elevation alongwith worldly development. This is the basic rule of the path of Faqr.
For example, Holy Prophet Mohammad educated Arab society according to this rule, which led to exemplary welfare state. Therefore, Faqr is legacy and methodology of Prophet Mohammad. But, only Saints of umma have this authority over spiritual sanctification. Not everyone possesses such spiritual powers. Therefore, Allah and his beloved Prophet Mohammad for the welfare of ummah blessed Shaikhs of Sarwari Qadri order with these powers.
Transference of Faqr from Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali to Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman
Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali held the throne of Sarwari Qadri Shaikh for 23 years. From 1981 after the death of his spiritual guide till his own death in December 2003. During these 23 years, he also kept on searching for such a strong, capable, truthful and devoted disciple. So that, he could entrust the treasure of Faqr. In 1998, he found such a capable disciple in Sultan ul Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman. Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali polished this pearl for three. In 2001, he took Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman with him and some other disciples to Hajj. In Madina, he presented Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman in Mohammadan Assembly. On his approval, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali passed on the heritage of Faqr to Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman.
Death, Shrine and Urs
Lastly, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh died on 26th Dec 2003 (2nd Dhu al-Qidah 1424 H). Moreover, he is buried beside his father and Murshid Sultan Mohammad Abdul Aziz in his shrine. The date of his urs is on first Friday of Dhu al-Qidah.

Effect of Charismatic Personality of his Mother on Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen

Childhood
Since eternity, Allah has chosen Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen for the Treasure of Faqr. So the Divine Light illuminates upon his countenance since birth. Once, a Fakir viewed his celestial forehead and told his mother; “Allah has chosen your son for a sacred purpose. Allah has written a special destiny on his forehead. Therefore, he will spend his whole life under the supervision of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. Moreover he will prepare him spiritually to execute a very special responsibility”. On another occasion, a Dervish said, “Your son is a Leader. Wherever he will go, he will lead”. Hence, to prepare him to execute the hardest duty, he passed through severe hardships since the early life.
Education
Sultan ul Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman started his regular education from Dipalpur District Okara, Pakistan. Inspite of financial crisis, he completed the Quranic and other religious education due to his God gifted qualities. Since childhood, he found peace and spiritual tranquillity in getting the knowledge of religion because of his love for Allah. Not only the Quran but other books also about Islam and Islamic history attracted his attention the utmost. He completed his matriculation from Government High School Dipalpur, District Okara.
It is noteworthy that his writing skills also started manifesting from childhood. Hence, he began to write essays in the children sections of newspapers during his fifth standard. Therefore, his essays have been publishing in the children’s editions of renowned newspapers. Such as, Roznama (Daily) Wafaq Lahore, Roznama Masawat Lahore, Roznama Mashriq Lahore and Roznama Imroze Lahore. His family had been facing financial problems since his childhood, so he could not continue his education regularly. Even in such crucial conditions, he did his intermediate in 1980. Moreover, he did graduation in 1983 in first division as a private student alongside doing part time jobs.
Practical Life
In 1983, Okara officially became a district. Therefore, many district offices were present there. He worked in a district office but he knew that it was not possible to progress in this city. So, he had been often visiting Lahore for interviews and exams for different designations. At last, he got a government job in 1985 in Lahore. Consequently, he migrated to Lahore on April 12, 1985. In short, this migration proved to be a blessing, which opened all avenues of financial comfort. He continued this job with devotion and hard work for twenty-eight years. Afterwards he got retirement in December 2013.
After shifting to Lahore, he married and had started a happy and well-settled life. Soon, he overcame the attraction of wealth and an intense desire arose to get closeness of Allah. Despite all the luxuries, his inward was not contented. Moreover, he was unable to find peace in any worldly pleasure. Therefore, to find satisfaction of soul he started to meditate and pray excessively.
Search for Divine Truth
He was only thirty-seven when he devoted himself completely to Allah. Gradually, his soul became more and more anxious to meet his Beloved. This created an upheaval in his inward.
Once, in the days of his service, he got out of the office to offer (midday) prayer. A middle-aged man dressed strangely encountered him suddenly and said, “The period of Allah’s beneficence upon you has started. Sustain your condition in the same way”. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen asked the man, “Who are you?” He replied, “I am the one who shows the right path to people and guides them. Therefore I have come only to see you”. At first, Sultan-ul- Ashiqeen thanked and had stepped ahead. Only after a few steps, a thought flashed that how the man knew his inner state. At once! Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen returned and searched that man but he had disappeared. On inquiring about him from the people around, he came to know that no one had seen such a man around.
Spiritual Oath of Allegiance
Presence in Mohammadan Assembly
It was the night of 12th April 1997. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen has offered supererogatory prayer after midnight. He was offering salutation to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). All of sudden his esoteric self was enlightened. Consequently, he found himself in the Mohammadan Assembly. The eternal Divine light, the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was sitting in the middle. Furthermore, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain (may Allah be pleased with them) were sitting on his right side. While on his left were Abu Bakr Siddiq, Umar ibn Khattab, and Usman ibn Affan. After them on the left side, there were the leaders of the four spiritual orders. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen remained stunned with awe and majesty of the Mohammadan Assembly. He was about to collapse with surprise and fear.
Legacy of Hasan ibn Ali
Meanwhile Ali ibn Abi Talib, stepped ahead and held his hand in his own hand. After this, he presented him before the Holy Prophet letting him sit by the sacred feet of the Prophet. Respected Ali said to the Prophet, “My lord, he is Najib-ur-Rehman. He is your slave and is the spiritual son of your dear daughter (Fatimah tuz-Zahra). She has selected him to grant her legacy (of Faqr). For your approval, she has presented him to your court”.
Listening that, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen bowed at Prophet Mohammad’s sacred feet, the beloved Lord of both the worlds. The Prophet acknowledged his recommendation by his dear daughter and had accepted. He said, “Now he is our spiritual son but the legacy of which son may be granted to him?” Imam Hassan requested him, “Respected grandfather! My mother has asked for granting him my legacy”. The Prophet, holding Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen from shoulders, lifted him from his feet and said, “You are my spiritual son and heir. Therefore, you would benefit a whole era and we would make you our manifestation. Moreover, you have pleased my dear daughter and we are pleased with you.”
Oath of Allegiance
Prophet Mohammad then stretched his hands towards him for oath of allegiance. So, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen held the sacred hands of the Prophet and took oath of allegiance. After that, the Holy Prophet looked at the spiritual guides of the four orders. Then he said to Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, “You have his spiritual legacy.” After that, he handed him over to Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani. He said, “He is our darling daughter’s spiritual son and now he is our spiritual son. You are entrusted to give him spiritual knowledge”.
Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen describes that he kissed the feet of the People of Cloak and Rashidun Caliphs on having such a blessing. Everyone congratulated him and caressed his head. Afterwards, Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani having permission of the Holy Prophet came back along with Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman from the Mohammadan Assembly. Therefore, started his spiritual training.
Physical Oath of Allegiance (Bayat)
Search of Spiritual Guide
In January 1998, Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani ordered Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen to search for a living spiritual guide. Therefore, he visited different places within and outside Lahore. Furthermore, he met many guides but any one of them did not satisfy him. In February 1998, he had a dream. In which an attractive man with an enlightened face said, “Come my son, I am waiting for you”. On waking up, he was surprised and started his quest for that awe-inspiring face. However, many days passed and his search could not meet the destination.
Moreover, there was no sign or indication even from Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani and Data Ganj Bakhsh. Again, in March 1998, he dreamt about that spectacular face of Sultan-ul-Faqr VI. He said, “Son! You have struggled a lot and suffered through many hardships. Now come to me”. While pointing to the Ism-e-Allah Zaat, he said, “I have this trust of yours. To entrust it to you I have been waiting for you for long”.
12th April, 1998
However, the situation remained the same as to where could that face be found? Again, he started his struggle. On 12th April 1998, early morning he reached the shrine of Sultan Bahoo. Sultan Bahoo said, “You are my beloved as well. Just go to Sultan Mohammad Abdul Aziz’s shrine, there you will find your spiritual guide Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali. He is the one you were looking for”. Then he said, “Go! Your spiritual guide is waiting for you. Have your legacy from him”.
Immediately, he reached the shrine of Sultan Mohammad Abdul Aziz. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the same charming face of his dream. Finally, he felt as if he had found the treasure of both the worlds. Sultan-ul-Faqr VI Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali looked at him and said, “So you have come”. Only he could hear his spiritual guide’s words in the room full of people. Sultan-ul-Faqr took his oath after evening (Maghrib) prayer. The date was 12th April, 1998 (15th Zilhaj, 1418 H) Monday night. On the very first day he became the beloved of his spiritual guide. From that day onwards till today he is stationed at the highest levels of belovedness which are elevating every moment day by day.
Service of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen for his Spiritual Guide
Annihilation in Spiritual Guide
He got so much absorbed in the Divine love of his spiritual guide so that he forgot his own existence. All his friendships, relations and other worldly matters lost their importance. Moreover, his main concern and first priority was the comfort and happiness of his spiritual guide. Therefore, he was ready to sacrifice his entire wealth for merely one smile or a glance of love from his beloved spiritual guide.
Duties Assigned by Spiritual Guide
He took upon the duty of making clothes for his Murshid for all seasons. Moreover, dresses of all the events such as Eid and urs (death anniversaries) of spiritual guides. In addition, he did this duty throughout the life with such devotion that he forgot to get his own dresses. When he made his house in Mustafa Town Lahore, he got a room specially made for his spiritual guide.
Mahnama Mirat-ul-Arifeen Lahore
Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali assigned him the duty of publishing the Magazine “Mahnama Mirat-ul-Arifeen Lahore” as its chief editor.
Maktaba-ul-Arifeen
In November 2001, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali assigned Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman the duty to establish “Maktaba-ul-Arifeen”. Apart from this, Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman also devoted his house in Education Town.
Ism-e-Allah Zaat
His spiritual guide assigned him auspicious duty of preparing the gold Ism-e-Allah Zaat as well as the printed ones. In all honesty, he performed this duty throughout the remaining life of Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali. A few moments before his demise, he called up Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen on phone to inquire about this particular duty.
Supervisor of Islahi Jamat.
He also gave the responsibility of Bait-ul-Maal (Treasury) of Islahi Jamat to Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman. As in the matters of money, he could trust only him.
Treasury of Islahi Jamat
In November 2001, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali made him the supervisor of Islahi Jamat, Lahore. He made so many efforts for its progress.
In 2001, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali intended to perform Hajj. He told Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen, “This Hajj is important for you and me as well”. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen had already spent all his wealth in the way of Allah. Therefore, he had to sell his car to meet the expenses for himself, his Murshid and the other companions. Hence, from 28th February till 28th March 2001, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali performed Hajj. Moreover, Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman and few other selected disciples accompanied him. He presented Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman in Mohammadan Assembly there. Consequently, Holy Prophet accepted and approved him as heir of Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali.
However, Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman never demanded anything in return of his services and sacrifices. He performed every task and fulfilled all the responsibilities given by the spiritual guide just to please him. Due to his Divine love, sincerity and diligence, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali chose him as his spiritual heir.
Transference of Trust of Faqr
By 26th December 2003, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali had checked and approved Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman. So, Sultan-ul-Faqr VI transferred the Trust of Faqr inwardly and secretly to Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman and left this material world.
Throne of Guidance
Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman is the 31st Shaikh of the Sarwari Qadri Order. He started granting Ism-e-Allah Zaat and accepting oath of allegiance from the 14th of August 2005. Since then, he has taken revolutionary steps to shower the bounty of the Faqr upon the entire umma.
The first and foremost favour upon the seeker of Allah is the invocation. In the past, disciple use to invoke Ism-e-Allah Zaat in four stages. For example i.e. Allahu, Lillah, Lahoo and Hoo (اَللّٰہُ للّٰہُ لَہُ ھُو). Previously, sultan of invocations i.e. ‘Hoo’ was given to disciple when he had passed all the basic stages. Therefore, it was a long process and required a lot of time. Usually, most of the disciples could not reach this highest level.
On the other hand, Allah has blessed Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman with great spiritual powers. Therefore, he gives his disciples the sultan of invocations i.e. ‘Hoo’ at the very first day of allegiance. Moreover, he also grants them printed or pure gold Ism-e-Allah Zaat for contemplation. Shaikh al-Akbar Mohiyuddin ibn Arabi says in Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya that, “Hoo (ھُو) is the final invocation of knowers”. When the seeker gets perfection in invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, then the contemplation of Ism-e-Mohammad is given. This is for the first time in the history of Faqr by the beneficence of Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman.
Perfect Spiritual Guide
In every era, there is present a perfect spiritual guide who possesses Divine Trust. In addition, he is also the heir of the treasure of Faqr. Such a perfect spiritual guide has authority to grants sultan of invocations i.e. ‘Hoo’. Moreover, he gives contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat to the seeker on the very first day of his oath. It is important to mention that Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has all the qualities of a perfect spiritual guide. Even sincere seekers gives testimony of such qualities of him. He has the ability to purify the inward and sanctify the soul of the seekers. Ultimately, they become free of jealousy, envy, greed, lust, etc. Moreover, he blesses them with piety, patience, steadfastness, humility, gratitude and unconditional Love for Allah.
Establishment of Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr
Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has laid the foundation of Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr. Its aim is to spread Faqr in a more organized and proper channel. Furthermore, it is a registered organization since October 2009. Regardless of any sect, group or school of thought, Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr welcomes all the Muslims. In fact, it is an invitation for those who seek to sanctify their soul and vision of Allah. Therefore, Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman purifies the inwards of his disciples without involving them in hard mystic exercises or lengthy prayers. Finally, he has made the bounty of Faqr common and approachable for everyone. That is why he grants Ism-e-Allah Zaat for invocation and contemplation to Muslims all over the world. He grants Ism-e-Allah Zaat with and without oath of allegiance.
Facility for Oath of Allegiance
For those who want to swear oath of allegiance, personal meeting is preferred. However, it is not compulsory which is quite impressive and miraculous. In this way, he is the first one to make oath possible for overseas. Initially, oath required personal meeting. Since 2014, he has made it possible for the foreigner seekers to take the oath of allegiance. It is through the internet via a written oath form and audio calls. Later on, he sends Ism-e-Allah Zaat by post. Indeed, this is a milestone in the history of mysticism. Allah has truly blessed him with impeccable spiritual powers to make it possible.
However, it is compulsory for females belonging to Lahore and males living in Pakistan to have meeting for oath of allegiance. Although females and males living outside Pakistan can swear oath of allegiance.

Thus, there is a gathering of thousands of people on every holy occasion.
Mawlid al-Nabi (Milad of Holy Prophet)
Mawlid of Prophet Mohammad is celebrated in khanqah of Sarwari Qadri order with great splendor on 12th Rabi al-awwal annually. All disciples participate in it with great zeal and zest. They start its preparations two months earlier and prepare encomiums and speeches elaborating grandeur of the Holy Prophet.

Undoubtedly, contemplation of Ism-e-Mohammad further elevates them. Additionally, makes it easier for them to follow the path of Faqr by the benediction of Prophet Mohammad.
All guests leave the gathering after getting showers of Divine light and spiritual beneficence of the Holy Prophet.
Mawlid-Al-Nabi (Milad-e-Mustafa) Regarding Transference of Divine Trust (Faqr) to Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen
Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen’s disciples also celebrate a grand Mawlid-Al-Nabi on 21st March every year with great enthusiasm regarding the day of transference of Divine Trust to him. This is the greatest and grandest gathering of disciples of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen. Not only from all over Pakistan but also from abroad his disciples attend this Mawlid with extreme devotion. In this gathering they recite Hamd, Naat and the eulogies written by disciples of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen who have attained to his divine reality through invocation and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. These eulogies elaborate his grand status near Allah as well as his infinite beneficence upon his seekers. Besides, disciples also deliver speeches shedding light upon his biography, charismatic personality, endless struggle to spread Faqr and matchless grandeur. After the program, grand langar is served to all guests. At the end, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen personally meets everyone and blesses them with his kindness.
