Hazrat Qibla Alam Hazrat Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi Alaihir Rahma
[ 3, Zul-Hijjah: 1205 AH ]

Revival of the Chishti Order:

Hazrat Shah Kalimullah Dehlavi is such a great saint of united India who revived the Chishti Order and connected it to the Chishti Order after Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi (disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya, disciple of Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakar, disciple of Bakhtiar Kaki, disciple of Khwaja Ajmeri Alaihir Rahma), which had started to fade after Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi Alaihir Rahma during the era of Hazrat Gesu Daraz. Shah Kalimullah’s disciple and caliph, Shah Nizamuddin Aurangabadi Alaihir Rahma, carried forward this order. After Nizamuddin Saheb, Maulana Fakhr Jahan fulfilled the duty of reviving the religion. Maulana Fakhr Jahan Dehlavi Alaihir Rahma is that great personality whose debate with Shah Waliullah Dehlavi Alaihir Rahma took place on the issue of Imam Hasan Basri and Hazrat Ali’s listening to music. The debate continued for three days, after which Shah Waliullah accepted Shah Fakhr’s opinion. This was the era when the title of “Maulana” used to be a very big status and this position was rarely achieved by anyone. In the city of Delhi, only Maulana Fakhr Jahan was called Maulana, from this his scholarly status can be estimated. Hazrat Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi Rahmatullah Alaih was his disciple and caliph.

The Lamp of Chisht, Noor Muhammad:

The leader of the seekers, the essence of the knowers, the pillar of the spiritually connected, the chief of the seekers, the link to the spiritually connected, the pride of the knowers, the pride of the saints, the sheikh of the pious, the Imam of the purified, the sun of the land of sainthood, the shining star of the tower of guidance, the inheritor of the land of Prophethood, the emperor of the realm of spiritual guidance, the pole star of the world, the source of the lights of praise to Muhammad, the manifester of the secrets of Ahmad, Hazrat Qibla Alam Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi, was among the most beloved caliphs of Hazrat Shah Fakhr. In Manaqib Fakhriya,

Ghaziuddin Khan Nizam writes:

“The complete manifestation of Hazrat Maulana and the disciple of his desire, accepted and beloved by Allah and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the guide of the era, the leader of the nations, appointed by the refuge of Prophethood for the training of creation, engrossed in the Truth, free from worldly concerns, our master, Maulana Khwaja Noor Muhammad, may his shadow be extended.”
[Malfuzat wa Halat Shah Fakhr Dehlavi, Urdu translation: Fakhr ut Talibin wa Manaqib Fakhriya, p. 225, year: 1961]

Professor Khaliq Ahmed Nizami writes:

“The boundless grace and immeasurable kindness that Hazrat Khwaja Fakhruddin Dehlavi Rahmatullah Alaih had for him was not bestowed upon any of his other caliphs. The propagation and promotion of the Chishti Nizami order in Punjab is the result of the sincere efforts of Hazrat Qibla Alam. After Hazrat Sheikh ul Islam Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakar Rahmatullah Alaih, no other elder of the Chishti order in Punjab has made as much effort in this order as Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi did in the eighteenth century. The lamps of the monasteries in places like Tunsa Sharif, Sial Sharif, Ahmedpur Sharif, Chachran Sharif, Golra Sharif, Jalalpur Sharif, etc. were lit through him.”

Spiritual Signs and Glad Tidings:

Hazrat Makhdoom Jahaniyan Jahangasht Rahmatullah Alaih is counted among the renowned saints of Uch Sharif. One of his famous caliphs was Hazrat Sheikh Abdullah Jahaniyan Rahmatullah Alaih. Among the descendants of Sheikh Abdullah Rahmatullah Alaih was Hazrat Sheikh Muhammad Nekokara, a great saint possessing knowledge of the unseen and miracles. When Hazrat Qibla Alam Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi’s mother, Aqeel Bibi, was still in her early years, Hazrat Sheikh Muhammad Nekokara, upon seeing her, said, “Allah, the Lord of Majesty, has informed me that from the blessed womb of Aqeel Bibi, the Helper of the Age will be born, whose grace will illuminate the entire world.”
Hazrat Sheikh Doda Wala Rahmatullah Alaih, a great saint of the Qadri order, passed away. Whenever Hazrat Qibla Alam’s mother went to visit him, he would immediately stand up. One day, his mother asked, “O Hazrat, why do you stand up upon seeing me and show me so much respect?” He replied, “I do not respect you, but the truth is that the light of the Helper of the Age shines like the sun on your forehead, and I stand up to respect that.”

Blessed Birth:

Hazrat Khwaja Noor Muhammad Chishti Nizami Maharvi was born on the 14th of Ramadan 1142 AH, corresponding to April 2, 1730 AD, in Kohui. He was a born saint, therefore, even in infancy, he did not drink milk during the day in the blessed month of Ramadan. [Manaqib al-Mahbubin, p. 139]

Pledge of Allegiance and Caliphate:

In 1125 AH, Hazrat Qibla Alam Alaihir Rahma took the pledge of allegiance at the hands of Hazrat Shah Fakhruddin Dehlavi in the Chishti Nizami order. The blessing of the time, which had been passed down from the Master of the Universe, the Generous One, through successive saints of Chisht, was also bestowed upon him. Some time after taking the pledge, Hazrat Khwaja Fakhr Rahmatullah Alaih intended to visit Pakpattan Sharif, and Hazrat Qibla Alam accompanied him on this journey. After visiting Pakpattan Sharif, Hazrat Shah Fakhr Rahmatullah Alaih said, “Noor Muhammad, go to Mahar Sharif and kiss your mother’s feet.” Obeying his Sheikh’s instructions, he reached his hometown. The news of his arrival had already spread in the city that a saintly man was coming. His mother was also informed. The blessed son ran and kissed his mother’s feet. After staying in his hometown for eight days, he returned to Pakpattan Sharif to serve his perfect Sheikh. After the Urs of Hazrat Baba Ganj Shakar Rahmatullah Alaih was over, Shah Fakhr Rahmatullah Alaih said, “I will stay here for two more months, you go and meet your mother again.” So, he went back to Mahar Sadabahar as instructed. Two months later, he returned from Mahar Sharif to Pakpattan Sharif and went to Delhi with his Sheikh. After returning from the journey, one day Hazrat Fakhr ul Mashaikh Khwaja Fakhruddin Dehlavi said, “Noor Muhammad, the burden of God’s creation is about to fall on your shoulders.” Hearing this, Hazrat Qibla Alam humbly and modestly said, “O Hazrat, what use can a Punjabi like me be to anyone?” Fakhr ul Auliya remained silent, and a few days later, bestowed the mantle of caliphate upon Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi and instructed him to illuminate the lamp of guidance by residing in his hometown, Mahar Sadabahar. He obeyed the order and departed. Upon arriving in Mahar Sharif, Hazrat Qibla Alam lit such a candle of guidance and instruction that the entire region of India was illuminated by its light, and seekers of truth from far and wide began to gather around him.

The Owner of the Cauldron of Gnosis:

Hazrat Qibla Alam Khwaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi was staying at the residence of Nawab Ghaziuddin Khan. The Nawab was the elder brother and confidant of Hazrat Qibla Alam. One day, he said:

“Nawab Saheb! The Holy Prophet bestowed a cauldron filled with gnosis upon Hazrat Ali Murtaza. Then he bestowed that cauldron upon Hazrat Khwaja Hasan Basri. Thus, continuing in succession, it reached Hazrat Maulana Khwaja Fakhruddin Shahjahanabadi Chishti Nizami. He bestowed it upon this humble one. I have spent much from this cauldron and given it to all the people of the world, but there has been no decrease in this cauldron. It remains as full as ever.”The Nawab asked, “After you, who among your disciples will be the owner of this cauldron?”He replied, “It is the command of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, that this cauldron be given to Muhammad Sulaiman Rohilla. I am bound by this command; now this cauldron is destined for him.”The Nawab said, “Show me this Rohilla too.”So, he called for Hazrat Khwaja Sulaiman Taunsvi. When he arrived, he addressed him and said, “Mian Saheb! Keep the book of poetry that was given to you for study safe, lest it be lost. That book is a blessing from my spiritual master, Hazrat Maulana Khwaja Fakhruddin Shahjahanabadi Chishti Nizami. He bestowed it upon me.”Hazrat Khwaja Sulaiman Taunsvi replied, “I will keep this book safe.”He said, “You were called only to say this.” When he left, Hazrat
Qibla Alam said, “Nawab Saheb! This Rohilla is the owner of my cauldron.”
