The title of the book is “The Mashaikh of Chisht,” Written by Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalwi. Translated into English by Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa. The Spiritual Tree (Shajarah) and Life Episodes of the Noble Auliya and Mashaikh of Chisht. This book contains the names and life episodes of such noble Auliya and Masha-ikh whose existence constitutes a neat (divine favor) and whose very mention is a rahmat (divine mercy) for the world. They have reached Allah, and they deliver others to Allah (i.e., they are both Waasil Allaah and Msil Allaah). Most aptly does the following gracious Qur’aanic Aayat apply to these illustrious Souls:
“Those first ones who have taken the lead among the Muhaajireen and the Ansaar and those who have followed them with the firmest conviction of Imaan (Ihsaan), Allah is well-pleased with them, and they are well-pleased with Him.”
They were the true and perfect Mu’mins. They were excellent Muslims.
In reality, they were the slaves of Allah. They fully fulfilled the design declared in the ayat:
“I have not created jinn and man except that they worship Me.”
However, in view of these pages emerging from the pen of a non-entity of deficient righteousness, they (these pages) do not deserve presentation to friends. Hence, the written manuscript had laid around for a considerable period of time. Download in pdf format to read offline.
