Dream of Sheikh Aslam

Sheikh Aslam Ibne Yahiya Ibne Moyeen Kashmiri narrates that one night he was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream.

In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) prayed for barakah for Sheikh Aslam Ibne Moyeen Kashmiri. Afterwards, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) gave Sheikh Aslam Ibne Moyeen Kashmiri a hair from His (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) blessed hair.

Upon awakening, Sheikh Aslam Ibne Moyeen Kashmiri found a black hair in his hand. He also found that his room was filled with exquisite aroma.

Sheikh Aslam Ibne Moyeen Kashmiri discovered that his beard had turned white during this time.

"My eyes do not want to see anything else."

Hazrat Bahrul Ulum Hafez Muhammed Azim was the Imam and Khatib of the Gong mosque in the city of Peshawar.

This particular area of Peshawar became famous because of Hazrat Bahrul Ulum Hafez Muhammed Azim. His love and devotion for the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was beyond description.

Hazrat Muhammed Azim was once blessed with the vision of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, Hazrat Muhammed Azim stated: “Oh Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)! My eyes do not want to see anything else after being blessed with your sight.”

Upon awakening, Hazrat Muhammed Azim found that he had lost his eyesight. His love for the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was thus unparalleled.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala'a gave Hazrat Muhammed Azim Ilme Ladunni (divinely inspired knowledge) because of his great love for the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). Hazrat Muhammed Azim narrated Hadith with ease all his life even though he was visually impaired. He knew the Hadith by heart.

Hazrat Muhammed Azim passed away in 1275 Hijri. In the Gregorian calendar, it was the year 1858.

His Janaza Salah or funeral prayer was attended by an astonishingly large number of individuals.

"Your enemy will drown in seventeen months."

Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) once migrated from Jainpur to the Azamgarh area. He subsequently cleared and settled in a place called Kolondorpur.

During this time, King Babu Azmat Khan came to hunt in the Azamgarh area. Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) also went to a hunting expedition with his disciples in the same area. He was accompanied by a superior hunting dog which belonged to his nephew. During the expedition, this particular dog caught and brought many preys alive that other dogs failed to do so. Babu Azmat Khan took a strong liking to this dog. Impressed with its hunting skills, the king asked Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) to hand over the dog to him.

Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) refused to hand over the dog to the king. He informed the king that the hunting dog belonged to his nephew and that his nephew would become displeased if the dog were handed over to the king. Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) further added that he did not wish to incur the displeasure of his nephew.

Babu Azmat Khan became infuriated because of the refusal. The king sought to oppress Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) in various ways. Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) decided to leave the hunting expedition for Kolondorpur to escape the oppression of the king. During his departure, however, he made the following remarks: “I will come back after this oppressor drowns.”

After several days, Hazrat Shah Fateh Kolondor Jainpuri (rahmatullahi alaihe) was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “Your enemy will drown in seventeen months.”

The dream prophecy became true after seventeen months. On the seventeenth month, Himmat Khan Bahadur of Allahabad came to conquer Kolondorpur from Babu Azmat Khan. Unable to confront Himmat Khan Bahadur militarily, Babu Azmat Khan decided to retreat and flee aboard a boat. Half way through his escape, the boat capsized and Babu Azmat Khan was drowned.

This particular event demonstrates that those who come to confront the Walis or friends of Allah always have dreadful endings.

Hazrat Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe)

Hazrat Haji Imdad Ullah Muhajir Makki (rahmatullahi alaihe) narrates that his spiritual mentor Hazrat Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) used to live in Jalalabad.

Hazrat Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) had the distinction of being a “Shaheb e Hujuri”. In other words, Hazrat Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in dreams every night.

Some fortunate individuals also had the rare distinction to see the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in the waking world.

The number of individuals who have seen the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in dreams far outnumber those who have seen the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in the waking world.

"Why has he been buried there?"

Hazrat Shah Muhammad Amin Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) was the spiritual disciple and successor to Hazrat Syed Shah Fateh Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe).

Hazrat Amin Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) reached Madinah al-Munawara after travelling to different countries. He subsequently passed away in Madinah al-Munawara. Hazrat Amin Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) was buried in a desolate area as no one knew about his taqwa or piety.

On the day Hazrat Amin Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) was buried, one very pious individual was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) stated: “This Fakir was the Wali of Hindustan. Why has he been buried there?”

After this dream, the body of Hazrat Amin Kolondor (rahmatullahi alaihe) was taken out of his grave. He was then buried in the Jannatul Baki.
