[O God! fill my heart with your full love and only Your love for Thy Grace on behalf of Hazrat Maulawi Fazl Ahmad Khan Raipuri.]
Huzur Maharaj [Hazrat Maulana Fazl Ahmad Khan Sahib Rahmatullahu Alehi] was born in the year 1847 [AD] in Qusba - Raipur Khas, Tehsil - Kaimganj in Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh < Dargah of Shah Fazl Ahmad Khan Sahib 1838-1907 - Flickrhttps://www.flickr.com › photos › kennyboy9> . He was born and brought up and had his formal education here. For earning his livelihood, he went to Farrukhabad and later returned back to Raipur. His father was Janab Gulam Hussain Sahab, who was a disciple of Hazrat Maulana Waliuddin [Rahmatullahu Alehi], a great Sufi saint of Kashmir and succeeded him in that Order.
He was employed in the army at the post of ‘Nishan Bardar’. Huzur Maharaj’s mother was initiated by Hazrat Maulana Afzal Shah Naqshbandi, who was a disciple and successor of Hazrat Maulana Abul Hasan Nasirabadi [R. A.] used to say about her that- “My daughter has the capability to change the destiny and the will of God”. An incident relates to Hazrat Maulana Abdul Gani Sahab a co-disciple of Huzur Maharaj that one day the younger brother of Huzur Maharaj, Hazrat Maulvi Vilayat Hussain Khan Sahab and Hazrat Maulana Abdul Gani Sahab was to appear in an examination together. While going to appear for the exam both of them separately requested her to pray for them. She agreed. When both of them returned from examination, they asked her about the outcome of her prayers. She was such a simple and truthful person that she told them that whenever she raised her hands in prayer for the younger brother of Huzur Maharaj, instead of him his [Janab Abdul Gani Sahab] face would appear before her and thus she could not pray for her own son.

Hazrat Shah Fazl Ahmad Khan Sahib Rahmatullahu Alehi [Huzur Maharaj] Born - 1838; Died - 1907 [AD]. He had two sons and two daughters. His sons – [i] Hazrat Maulvi Niyaz Ahmad Khan went to Ajmer [Rajasthan] and remained there till his death. He was buried near Ajmer. The other son, [ii] Hazrat Maulvi Mohammad Ahmad Khan was born in 1898 [AD] at Raipur, Farrukhabad UP. His worldly and spiritual education was conducted by Hazrat Vilayat Husain Khan. After passing High School [Tenth class] he went to his brother-in-law [sister’s husband] at Lashkar, Gwalior MP. After passing his ambulance course he was appointed as a compounder in Military Hospital on 08.08.1921 [AD] at Murar MP. There he married himself to a daughter of Hazrat Chhote Khan brother of Hakim Mohammad Ramzan Khan Kadri. Hazrat Mohammad Ahmad Khan completed his spiritual education under his uncle Hazrat Vilayat Husain Khan. After completing his spiritual education, he was initiated into the ‘Order’ and was announced his heir in 1931 [AD]. He left for his heavenly abode on six Rabi-ul-avval 1353 Hijri, 19.06.1934 [AD]. He was buried at Taqia in the Garden of Col. Hasan Khan Lashkar, Gwalior [MP]. His [Huzur Maharaj] – [i] Mrs Azmatullah Begham, died after a few months of her marriage. The other [ii] younger daughter, Hazrat Iffat Begham, who was married to Hazrat Khushnood Ali Khan of Rampur, who was in defence service at Gwalior, expired at Gwalior [MP]. Hazrat Iffat Begham [widow] lived with her son at Jahangirabad Bhopal. She also died in 1975 [AD] leaving two sons and four daughters. Her elder son, Hazrat Shaukat Ali Khan has gone to Karachi, Pakistan with his family. The younger son, Hazrat Sultan Ahmad Khan lived in Bhopal with his family [till his death]. His mother lived with him till she died.
Huzur Maharaj passed all examinations in the first division during his academic career, including the Middle school and the Normal training examination [for teaching]. He learnt Arabic and the Persian languages from Hazrat Khalifa Ji Sahab [Janab Ahmad Ali Khan Sahab - Rahmat Ullahu Alehi], who was his spiritual teacher also and the initiator into the Silsila Aliya of Naqshabandiya-Mujaddadiya-Mazahaiya. He [Huzur Maharaj] always kept his spiritual training and the company of his Master above all worldly affairs and his livelihood. In this regard, he used to narrate an incident related to the aforesaid truth: “Once I was unemployed. It was the 10th of December. My Master enquired as to how much money I would need for my livelihood. I requested him to pray for five rupees per month, besides food. My Master thought for a little while and then said, ‘You are employed from the First on this emolument.’ I did not believe it. My Master made it out and asked me and I did not believe it. I mentioned that it will be true but it is strange that I am not aware of my employment till the Tenth of the month. On hearing this from me Hazrat Sahab ordained me, 'Secrets revealed to you, as a result of your spiritual progress, should not be made known to others. When a dedicated disciple like you does not believe, what can be expected of others?’ When I left my Master’s premises, I came to know that Munshi Badri Prasad had arranged a job for me in Jared. I joined the job. After twenty days when I was paid the salary, it was for the whole month i.e., from 1st to 31st of December.”
His Master, Hazrat Ahmad Ali Khan Sahib Rahmatullahu Alehi [Khalifa Ji Sahib] once asked Huzur Maharaj to go and beg alms. For many days Huzur Maharaj kept on begging for alms without self-possession or feeling ashamed. One day his Master asked him to stop begging and told him, “I am pleased with you. You have come successful through this test.”
Huzur Maharaj had the fortune of living for twenty-two years in the company of his Master. His life had been full of extraordinary events. His conduct showed how the dictates of scriptures could be followed in one’s life. He was always content and satisfied. His Master chose him as his ‘Main Khalifa’ [Successor - Vicegerent] and mentioned, ‘one like you is better than ten thousand.’ His ‘Tawajjuh’ [spiritual radiations] resembled exactly that of Hazrat Janab Baqibillah Sahib Rahmatullahu Alehi, who introduced the Naqshbandi Sufi Order in India.
He did not accept offerings or did not allow anyone to touch his feet. Instead, he himself often served his disciples by looking after their comforts and requirements. Often for days together his family lived on scanty food or with no food at all. Even then if he received some money from someone, he would distribute it to others, who were in need. He spent most of his time in meditation. Once he started a dispensary and got some bottles filled up with water from a well. This water cured even those who were suffering for a long. Whatever money he earned from this, 01/40 of that he kept for himself and the rest he gave to others. As the dispensary became very popular, he discontinued it after some time.
Huzur Maharaj lived a very simple and pious life. He used to put on very clean white clothes. He was very kind-hearted and had no prejudice against any religion or caste. Persons from all classes and belonging to all religions including Hindus, Muslims and Christians used to visit him. He used to say to Hindus, “you have come to me to seek spiritual knowledge. Do that and live in accordance with the requirements of your society and the respective rituals. Your relation with me is not temporal but spiritual.” He was the singular saint on the earth who strived for the diffusion of this useful knowledge of Sufi esotericism without any discrimination of caste, creed or any other barrier and this method of practice amongst the Hindus. He was completely free from religious bias and never participated in any religious debates or disputes nor did he ever criticise any religion. If someone criticised any religion in his presence, he would leave that place. He pronounced that spirituality is one but religions are many. One should follow the dictates of one’s religion and should not be guided by religious prejudices. Social or religious rituals do not bind spiritual life. if anyone suggested that he would convert and adopt Islam, he used to feel very upset. He disapproved of conversion rejecting it outright. He used to admonish the person concerned, “now you are not worth visiting me. I shall not allow anyone to put a spot on me. You should continue to abide by the dictates of the religion which you belong to the attain spirituality.”
Once, one of his Hindu disciples adopted Islamic traditions. When he reached him, Huzur Maharaj told him that he no longer deserved to visit him, Huzur Maharaj asked him to readopt the Hindu traditions, the religion in which he was born.
Apartheid [अछूतों अथवा ग़ैर-हिन्दुओं का वहिष्कार] was prominent during those days, Huzur Maharaj did not touch even dried chilies meant for the consumption of his Hindu disciples. Separate food used to be cooked for them. When he visited any of the congregations arranged by Mahatma Ram Chandra [Laalaa Ji], his disciple and the chief vicegerent] or if the food came from his house, he would use his separate utensils or would take the food in a ‘pattal’ [leaf-plate]. At times he did not use any utensils and used to take food straight in his hand and drank water also using his hands. When the ‘prasad’ [offering to the Lord] used to be distributed, he would ask some Hindus to bring ‘prasad’ and distribute it. He used to say everyone and observe the tradition of one’s religion. Though he had accepted many of his disciples, he declared Laalaa Ji to be his spiritual successor. This is a unique and unparallel example of a Muslim Sufi giving away his entire spiritual treasure to a Hindu without conversion.
Mahatma Brijmohan Lal Sahib has written in his book – जीवन चरित्र पूज्य लाला जी साहिब व चच्चा जी महाराज Jeevan Charitra Pujya Laalaa Ji Sahib va Chachchaa Ji Maharaj [1993 edition, published by – Sant Prakashan] on pages 07 and 08, as given below –
“महात्मा बृजमोहन लाल जी साहिब के जन्म के पूर्व उनकी माताजी की आयु कुछ अधिक हो गयी थी और उनके कोई सन्तान नहीं थी। उनके भाई और माता जी ने चाहा कि वे तीर्थ-यात्रा में उनको अपने साथ ले जा कर 'सेतुबन्ध रामेशर पर पूजा और मान्यता करें। पूज्यपाद लालाजी साहिब ने अपने गुरुदेव [हुज़ूर महाराज] से यह सब निवेदन किया।“
Before the birth of Mahatma Brijmohan Lal Ji Sahib, his mother had become a bit old and had no children. His brother and mother wished that they should take him with them on pilgrimage and worship and recognize 'Setubandha Rameswaram'. Pujyapaad Laalaa Ji Sahib made all these requests to his Gurudev [Huzur Maharaj].
उन्होंने एक दिन पुज्यापाद लालाजी साहिब से थोड़ा स्वच्छ ताज़ा पानी मँगा कर उस पर भगवत प्रेम भरी दृष्टि डाली और परमात्मा से प्रार्थना करके कहा कि - "यह जल ले कर बेटी को पिला दो और ईश्वर की अनुकम्पा की प्रतीक्षा करो।"
“One day, after asking for some clean fresh water from Pujyapaad Laalaa Ji Sahib, he looked at it full of love and prayed to God and said - "Take this water and give it to the daughter to drink and wait for God's mercy."
"पूज्या माता जी [श्रीमती जयदेवी जी साहिबा - धर्मपत्नी महात्मा रघुबर दयाल जी साहिब] बतातीं थीं कि इस घटना के दस मास पश्चात महात्मा बृजमोहन लाल जी साहिब का जन्म हुआ, और जब वे उदर [गर्भ] में चार-पाँच मास के थे तब उनके पेट में अधिक पीड़ा हुयी और गर्भपात का भय हुआ।"
“Pujya Mata ji [Shrimati Jayadevi Ji Sahiba – wife of Mahatma Raghubar Dayal ji Sahib] used to say that ten months after this incident, Mahatma Brijmohan Lal Ji Sahib was born, and when he was four-five months old in the womb She had severe pain in her abdomen and feared miscarriage."
"पूज्यपाद लाला जी साहिब ने एक निवेदनपत्र, श्री चित्तर कँहार के हाँथ [द्वारा] अपने गुरुदेव हुज़ूर महराज के पास भेजा, जो उस समय 'रायपुर' तहसील - कायमगंज, जिला - फ़र्रुख़ाबाद में रहते थे। श्री चित्तर कँहार ने क़रीब बारह बजे रात को यह निवेदनपत्र श्रीमान हुज़ूर महाराज की सेवा में अर्पण किया। हुज़ूर महाराज शाह साहिब ने सुबह चार बजे ही उत्तर लिख कर श्री चित्तर कँहार के द्वारा भेज दिया। दूसरे दिन शाम के बाद श्री चित्तर कँहार तहसील अलीगढ़ जिला - फ़र्रुख़ाबाद पहुँच गये। उस समय पूज्यपाद लाला जी साहिब तहसील अलीगढ़, जिला - फ़र्रूख़ाबाद में 'नायब नाज़िर' थे और छोटे भाई इत्यादि सब लोग वहीं पर उन्हीं के पास थे।पूज्यपाद लाला जी साहिब ने हिदायतनामा, सदगुरुदेव का पढ़ा, उसमें लिखा था कि" –
"अल्लाह-ता-आला की ज़ात-पाक से पूर्ण उम्मीद है कि जब उसने अपने फ़ज़्ल-ओ-क़रम से इस आसी-पुर-मुआसी बन्दे की दुआ क़ुबूल फ़रमाई है तो कोई ख़तरा किसी क़िस्म का न होना चाहिये। वह बड़ा ही फ़ज़्ल-ओ-क़रम वाला है। इन्शाअल्लाह मेरा पोता पैदा होगा - और मैं उसका नाम बृजमोहन लाल रखता हूँ।"
“Pujyapaad Laalaa Ji Sahib sent a request letter [through] the hand of Shri Chitter Kanhar to his Gurudev Huzur Maharaj, who at that time was living in 'Raipur' Tehsil - Kaimganj, District - Farrukhabad presented this request letter to Shriman Huzur Maharaj. Huzur Maharaj Shah Sahib wrote a reply at four o'clock in the morning and sent it through Shri Chitter Kanhar. After the evening of the second day, Shri Chitter Kanhar reached Tehsil Aligarh District - Farrukhabad. Pujyapaad Laalaa Ji Sahib was 'Naib Nazir' [Assistant Court Inspector] Tehsil Aligarh, District - Farrukhabad and the younger brother [Mahatma Raghubar Dayal and his family] etc. were with him there. Pujyapaad Laalaa Ji Sahib read Sadgurudev's ‘Hidayatnama’ [letter of instructions], it was written in it that "-
"There is full hope from Allah-Ta-Ala's Zat-Pak that when He has accepted the prayer of this Asi-Pur-Muasi servant by His grace, then there should be no danger of any kind. That is a great grace. -O-Karam Wala. Inshallah, my grandson will be born -

and I name him Brijmohan Lal."
Huzur Maharaj used to teach Persian, also. A young boy, the son of a rich person, used to visit him [Huzur Maharaj] to learn Persian. One day Huzur Maharaj asked him about his intention, as the boy was not interested in learning Persian. The boy did not say anything initially, but after some time told Huzur Maharaj that he wanted to marry a lady and wanted to learn some ‘Mantra’, which could make her agree to marry him. Huzur Maharaj kept quiet. Later, one night he was sitting on the ‘roof’ and the light of the Moon was falling on him [Huzur Maharaj]. This boy along with many others also was sitting in the ‘Satsang’. Huzur Maharaj was wearing clean white clothes and had also applied some perfume. Some flowers were also lying there. Suddenly, he turned towards this boy and asked him, “my son, see towards me. Is that lady even more beautiful than me?” Huzur Maharaj was looking very enchanting. The boy looked towards Huzur Maharaj and was stunned as if he was a statue. From that day things changed entirely for him. In place of the desire for that lady, the boy’s heart got filled with the love of Huzur Maharaj. In one moment, his destiny had been changed.
A relative of Nawab Samsabad [in district Farrukhabad UP India, not of Iran] got attracted towards a lady and wanted to marry her but she was not agreed to the marriage. He came to seek the help of Huzur Maharaj. Huzur Maharaj told him a ‘Mantra’ and asked him to practice it. After some days, in place of attraction for that lady, this person found himself attracted towards Huzur Maharaj. He wished Huzur Maharaj, who very kindly accepted and initiated [Bayat] him.
Similarly, an advocate who earlier had an affair with a lady used to visit Huzur Maharaj. Once this advocate happened to face the lady in an isolated place. Both of them felt that they could not control themselves. Immediately they saw Huzur Maharaj standing there at the door of the premises. For some time, they thought it to be their imagination as it was impossible that Huzur Maharaj could be present there. As they moved closer, this time they found Huzur Maharaj standing in between them. They moved apart and thus were saved from falling prey to lust in that weak moment.
A hagiographic story comes down to us, through a title ‘Autobiography Of A Sufi’ [published by ‘B. R. Publishing Corporation, Delhi 110052 - ISBN 13: 9788176467445], on pages 96 to 98, seems worth mentioning here in the sequence, the text of which reads as under –
“I have read a lot of stories related to various devotees. "फ़ना इतना मैं हो जाऊँ तेरी ज़ात-ए-आली में; मुझे देख ले कोई, और तेरा दीदार हो जाए।” In the chain of this Order as well, there have been some such great persons, who have looked at the face of their Master once, were stuck by that glimpse for the rest of their life. When they looked at the mirror, they saw the reflection of the face of their beloved smiling in the mirror. I am proud that my Master has showered such grace on me that he has accepted me as one of such persons in the chain.
I was then about 20 or 21 years old I constantly and undoubtedly used to feel absorbed in my Master and I used to feel as if it was, he, who was walking, who was sitting and who was performing all my actions in place of me and that I had no existence of my own but it was he all over.
Absorbed in the thought of my beloved, once I was buying some vegetables in the vegetable market. In the process, I interacted with the owner of the market, who was a lady for a few moments. Her young daughter about 15-16 years old, who was nearby and towards whom I had not even looked so far, was looking at the glimpse of my beloved in me without blinking her eyes and she was stuck with that. I came to my senses only then, when she pointed towards me and told her mother-“Mother, I would marry him alone”. The onlookers were astonished by her sincere demand. I did not pay much attention to it and returned to my home. But that pretty girl was absorbed in the image she had seen in me for a moment. At home, she repeated her request to her mother and said that she would not survive if she did not marry me. Her family members tried to reason her out but she was unmoved. She was suffering the pangs of separation and kept on crying. One day her family members felt that she would not be able to survive anymore. I was informed about it. Her mother very humbly requested me to save the life of her only daughter by marrying her. For a moment I felt this to be my duty to save her life and for that, if I marry her, there was nothing wrong with it. I also shared the thoughts crossing my mind with my wife. After pondering over for a few moments, she again showed me the right path saying-“this dilemma can be resolved only by him, who is playing with it. You should narrate the entire story to Huzur Maharaj and seek his guidance for us to do accordingly”. I followed her advice. Having heard my narration, he first smiled and then adopting a serious posture he said- “My son Puttulal! What are you saying? You should have thought about what would happen to my daughter-in-law and my grandchildren. Your argument is baseless. You should not enter into this fray. It is not right for you in any way. Why should you worry even if that girl dies? If she dies remembering a person like you, who is so pious and absorbed in his beloved, what could be better than this for her”. And it happened so. She had again saved me from a difficult situation. The lover keeps on communicating with the beloved even though he may appear quiet. All his being speaks; it transmits a pure signal, a pure vibration.”
Laalaa Ji mentions another such instance in his Autobiography referred to as above. “Amongst us co-disciples, there was a young person, who besides attending the Satsang of Huzur Maharaj used to visit a lady in a brothel. Some friends brought this to the notice of Huzur Maharaj. He told them to inform him the next time when this young man visits the lady. The next time when the young man went to see the lady, Huzur Maharaj was informed of it. Huzur Maharaj took a bath, changed his dress, applied some scent and proceeded along with others to the brothel. It was a small place and the lady also knew Huzur Maharaj. She was surprised to see Huzur Maharaj, who asked her to sing a song. She sang some songs, which to her understanding could be of interest to Huzur Maharaj. After hearing the songs Huzur Maharaj enquired about her charges for the night and paid her the fees. Huzur Maharaj was then around sixty. The lady and everyone else was taken aback that such a saint would stay in the brothel for the night. Huzur Maharaj, however, asked all others to go back. After everyone else left, Huzur Maharaj told the lady, ‘For tonight you are in my service and you will have to obey whatever I command. I do not like your jewellery, remove them first and then take bath.’ Huzur Maharaj had carried with him a pair of his wife’s clothes, which he asked the lady to wear after the bath. The lady complied with it. After that Huzur Maharaj asked her to offer five prayers to him (five Namaz). The lady thought for a moment what trouble she had invited for herself by accepting the fees and then told Huzur Maharaj that she did not know how to offer prayers. Huzur Maharaj told her, “You are in my service tonight and you shall have to do what I say. It does not matter that you do not know how to offer prayers. Repeat what I do.” She started imitating Huzur Maharaj. When Huzur Maharaj put his head on the ground (in Sijda), she also did the same. At that moment Huzur Maharaj prayed, “O Almighty, with Your kind grace I have brought this lady up to this point. Now it is ‘You’ and she.” Huzur Maharaj then left that place and came back home but that lady was frozen in that posture. Throughout the night she lay in that posture. In the morning her mother woke her up. On opening her eyes, she was baffled. She looked around and told her mother, “Whatever I could earn for you, I have already handed it over to you. Your jewellery is lying there. These clothes are not yours and now I am going away.
Huzur Maharaj took spiritual transmission constantly for more than twenty years and completed the spiritual education brim-full. He was only the right heir of his Master, Hazrat Maulvi Ahmad Ali Khan Sahib [widely known as Khalifa Ji Sahib]. He was foretold by his Master to have an eye on a Hindu boy. It is said - “It was an old incident relating to the time when Swami Dayanand Ji Maharaj had come to Kaimganj. A lot of people had gathered. Besides Aryasamajis, scholars and saints belonging to other religions had also gathered to listen to him. He [Huzur Maharaj] along with his ‘Pir-o-Murshadna’ [his Spiritual Master] Hazrat Maulana Shah Ahmad Ali Khan Sahib Rahmatullahu Alehi [widely known as Khalifa JI Sahib] also had gone to listen to him. When both of them were returning after attending the last seminar, on the way back Hazrat Khalifa Ji Sahib [my Master’s Master] had asked my revered Master [Huzur Maharaj] - ‘you must also raise a similar vibrant personality [Javan mard] for the progress of the Mission of this SILSILA-E-ALIYA. My Daadaa Guru [Master’s Master] had asked him to raise a person - exactly like Swami Dayanand. In reply, my Master bowed his head down and said - ‘this servant has grown only a babul tree [acacia tree]. The revered Daadaa Gurudev had raised his hands towards the sky in prayer and then he made his forecast - ‘God willing, he would so bloom that he would take upon himself all the pains and difficulties of the world to bear them in his heart and would spread greenery and comfort all over.”

of a Sufi’, published by B. R. Publishing Corporation Delhi
ISBN:139788176467445]
Till he left this mortal world, Huzur Maharaj was in full senses. At the time
he was breathing his last, he was absorbed in reciting “Kalma-Sharif” [prayers
of Holy Qur’an] and he kept on telling that “now my ‘Rooh’ (life force) has
withdrawn from my feet; now from my knees and now from my waist. Lastly, he
said that now everyone should focus his attention towards the Almighty since my
‘Rooh’ [soul] is now getting withdrawn from my heart.
Everyone present there got absorbed in deep meditation [Faiz ki Dhar mein doobe huye the फैज़ की धार में डूबे हुये थे ‘Were immersed in the torrent of Faiz’ = Spiritual Faiz is ultimately light [called Noor in Urdu]. It is constantly being passed down from Allah [SWT] to His Beloved Prophet (saw) to distribute.)].” On opening their eyes, they found that Huzur Maharaj had left his mortal body for becoming one with the Supreme Being. It was then 03 o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday, 30th November 1907 [AD]. His tomb is situated in the west side of Qasba - Raipur [near Eidgah on its Southern minaret] in the town of Kaimganj, District Farrukhabad.

____________________________________________
#Although it is his ‘grave’, since most of the visitors are either Hindus and
for many more reasons, this ’Tomb’ is famous as “samadhi, [Sanskrit: “total
self-collectedness”] in Indian Philosophy and religion, and particularly in
Hinduism, the highest state of mental concentration that people can achieve
while still bound to the body and which unites them with the highest reality.
Samadhi is a state of profound and utterly absorptive contemplation of the
Absolute that is undisturbed by desire, anger, or any other ego-generated
thought or emotion. It is a state of joyful calm, or even of rapture and
beatitude, in which one maintains one’s full mental alertness acuity In
Buddhism, samadhi is the last of the eight steps leading to enlightenment [the Eight-fold Path].

“My Rev. Guru was of the Nakshmandia Dynasty, or line, and Revered Father of another Sufi School. I represent both Dynasties through their grace.” Explanation – The quoted person is Tweedie’s Guru Mahatma Radha Mohan Lal [the middle son of Mahatma Raghubar Dayal Sahib, widely known as ‘Chachchaa Ji’].

Again, at the page in the same book Mrs Irina Tweedie has written pages – 729 to 730 deserve attention where Mahatma Radha Mohan Lal mentions his father as “This is correct, this is so. My rev. father was woodland and rustic … …”. And again “It means like an animal. It has to be controlled. If it is controlled, it is all right. He had to suffer very much for many years. For men, there are many restrictions, for women only one: to get rid of her limitations as a woman.”

Dear, brother! Live long. I pray for you and wish to inform you that I am now on a pilgrimage with the intention to visit the tombs [Samaadhees - GRAVES] of the great saints. So far, I have visited Kannauj - Makanpur - Lucknow. It is beyond words to describe the experiences I had and the grace showered on me at these places. Prayed for your health, as well.
[02] भाई जान - मद्देउम्रकुम [चिरायु हो] . बाद सलाम के वाज़े शरीफ़ हो [ज्ञात] कि गिरामीनामा [कृपापात्र] सादिर हो कर बाइसे [कारण] मसर्रत [खुशी] हुआ। आप बहुत खुशी से अपनी पूरी कैफ़ियत [ब्यौरे-वार हाल] लिखिये, मुझे खुशी होगी। तक़लीफ़ क्यों होनें लगी। भाई मैं आख़िरत [परलोक या क़यामत] में भी इन्शाअल्लाह साथ होऊँगा। तुम दुनियाँ में मुझे तक़लीफ़ से बचाते हो। मैं तो तुम्हारे वायस जो तक़लीफ़ हो उसको राहत जानता हूँ। तुम लोग मेरे लख्ते-जिग़र हो। तुम्हारी थोड़ी भी तक़लीफ़ मुझे ग़वारा नहीं।
Dear brother, live long. Please accept my greetings. Your letter made me happy. Please write in detail about your state of affairs. Why should it be a burden on me? God - willing my brother, I would be with you even in the other world. You save me here from worldly difficulties. Any suffering on my part for you is a source of relief for me. You all are very dear to me and I cannot see you suffering even slightly.
[03] अज़ीज़ अज़ जान मद्द उम्रकुम। बाद दुआए तरक़्क़ी मदारिज़ के वाज़े शरीफ़ हो कि मैं 11 मुहर्रम को देहली से वापस आया। जो-जो इनामों-बरक़ात महसूस हुए उनका बयान नहीं हो सकता। और ग़ालिबन आप लोगों को भी उसका हिस्सा महसूस हुआ होगा। अपनी सेहत का हाल इरकाम [लिखिए] कीजिये। 'या सलामो' अक्सर जबानी पढ़ना सेहत को बहुत मुफीद है। मेरा सारा घराना तुम्हारे तमामी खानदान को दुआ और सलाम कहते हैं। मेरा इरादा था कि तुम लोगों के पास हाज़िर होऊं मगर अभी चंदे-मुल्तबी रहा।
Dear one, dearer that my life, live long. I pray for your progress. I returned from Delhi on the eleventh Moharram [name of Islamic - calendar]. The blessings and the grace received there are beyond description, a share of which you would have also received. Inform me about your health. Reciting 'Ya'h - Salam - Ho' is very helpful in gaining health. My entire family prays and conveys their regards for the whole of your family. I had thought of visiting you but it is postponed for the present.
[04] भाई साहब उम्रफय्यूज़कुम। बाद सलाम के वाज़े शरीफ़ है कि आपका कार्ड मौसूल हुआ। लड़कों व नीज़ अपने ज़ुकाम वग़ैरह के वाइस जवाब में तसाहुल हुआ। मुआफ़ फरमाइयेगा। मेरी ऐसी किस्मत कहाँ जो मेरी बेटियाँ आएँ। कहीँ आँखों पर पलकें भारी होती हैं। मुझे तो बसरोचश्म मँज़ूर है, मगर तुम लोगों की तक़लीफ़ का ज़रूर ख़याल है। इसका यह मतलब नहीं कि मैं तुमको मना करता हूँ। नहीं हर्गिज़ नहीं। बल्कि सचमुच मौसमें सरमा में सफर मुश्किल ख़याल करता हूँ। मैं तो तुम लोगों से अज़हद खुश हुँ और शबोरोज़ दुआ करता हूँ। नज़दीकोदूर यकसाँ हूँ। मुझसे ऐसे अमर में इस्तिफ़सार की ही क्या ज़रुरत थी। अज़ीज़ान रघुबर दयाल और लाला चिम्मन लाल को दुआ।
Dear brother, live long. I have received your letter but could not send you a reply earlier due to the ill health of the boys and my cold to myself. Please forgive me. I am not so fortunate that my daughters may visit me! Had ever the eyelids felt heavy on the eyes? It would be a pleasure for me but I think of the inconvenience it might cause to you. It does not mean I am saying 'no' to you; nay, never. Looking at the weather, however, I think it would be inconvenient for you. I am very pleased with you and keep on praying for you day and night. Far or near, no matter, far or near. There was no need to seek my permission in this situation. Blessings for dear Raghubar Dayal and Laalaa Chimman Lal.
[05] अज़ीज़मन - बाद दुआ के वाज़े हो कि आपके दो ख़तूत और मनीऑर्डर मौसूल हो कर वइसे इंशरार हुए। अल्लाह ज़ल्लेशानहू तुमको सलामत बकरामात रक्खे। मैं दशहरे के अय्याम में इंशाअल्लाह घर पर रहूँगा। आप लाला चिम्मन लाल पर मेहनत कर के तकमील करा दीजिये। ताकि आपके बाद आपकी जानशीनी करें। मेरी तबीयत नासाज़ थी। इस सबब से जबाब में भी ताख़ीर हुयी।
My beloved one! Let me inform you after blessings that I have received the money orders and your two letters, which made me happy. Allah, the glorious One, may shower His grace on you. I would be at home during the Dashahara - period. You may work hard, upon Laalaa Chimman Laal [Photo alongside]

| Munshi Chimman Lal Mukhtar |
and guide him to perfection [attaining full accomplishment] so that he may be your vicegerent after you. I was indisposed because of which there has been a delay in replying to you.
[06] अख्वीअर्शदी मद्दउम्रक़ुम। बाद दुआ के वाज़ेशरीफ हो कि दिनों से आपका हाल मालूम नहीं हुआ। बिंदी सबब मुत्तफ़क्किर हूँ। तुमने रुख्सत ली या नहीं। रमज़ानशरीफ आया। इरादा है कि रात को बक़द्रे ताक़त जागूँ। और खुदा की याद करूँ। और अहबाबों में से जिस को तौफ़ीक़ हो तो वोह भी ऐसा करें तो ज़हेसआदत वर्ना नहीं। गो मैं हरतरह बेसामान हूँ मगर इरादा क़वी है। तुम भी दुआ करो।
Live long, the most favoured One! Let me inform you after blessings that I have not received your welfare for quite some time causing anxiety. I am fully agreeing with you, so I would like to know whether you have moved from there or not. The month of Ramzan has arrived. I intend to keep awake in the night in remembrance and for offering prayers, to the best of my capacity. Those, who can do so, may also follow. Though I possess nothing, my resolution is firm. You may also pray.
[07] अज़ीज़अज़जान मद्दउम्रक़ुम। बाद दुआएदराज़ी उम्रोदरज़ात के वाज़े शरीफ हो कि आप के दो कार्ड मौसूल हुए। वाक़ई पीराने उज़्ज़ाम की मुहब्बत मुसमिरे बरकात है। आतिशे दुनियाँ तो क्या है, आतिशे आख़िरत भी सर्द है। अल्लाह जल्ल-ए-शानहू तुम को अलुद्द्वाम [सदासदा] अपने हिफ़्ज़ओ अमन में रक्खे। अज़ीज़ी चिम्मन लाल साहब का दिनों से कोई खत नहीं आया मुझे ख़याल है। उनसे मेरा सलाम ज़रूर कह दीजियेगा। मैं सख़्त अलील रहा हूँ और अभी हूँ। दुआ करो कि अल्लाह-ता-आला रूहानी और जिस्मानी सेहत आता फरमाएं।
O my son; dearer than life, live long. My prayers are for your long life. I have received two letters from you. Indeed the love for the elders of the hierarchy is extremely auspicious. What to talk of worldly treasures, the heavenly treasures are nothing before it. Allah, the Glorious One may keep you always under His protection and tranquillity. No letter was received from dear Chimman Laal, for a long time but often I remember him. You must pass on my greetings to him. I had fallen ill for some time and am still unwell. Please pray for my spiritual and physical health.
[08] मख़दूम भाई मद्द ज़िल्ल्हूउलआली। बाद सलाम मसनूनानं कि आपका करामतनामा सादिर हो कर इफ़्तिख़ार का बाईस हुआ। मेरी तबीयत अच्छी नहीं। वही सर घूमता है, नकीह [निर्बल] हूँ। भाई आज-कल तो पीरी - मुरीदी तो नाम को भी बाक़ी नहीं रही। लोगों का कसूर भी नहीं। हमारी ही बुरायिओं का नतीज़ा है। लोग जहाँ और खेल खेलते हैं वहाँ पीरी-मुरीदी भी करते हैं। सादिक़ मुरीद मिलाना उनका [एक अस्तित्त्व-हीं पंक्छी] की तरह न-पैद है। और यही हाल पीरों का भी हो गया। इल्ला-माशा अल्लाह [अतिरिक्त पुरुष जिसकी ईश्वर रक्षा करें], बहुत थोड़े मुरीद फिदायी [समर्पित] होते हैं। और बहुत थोड़े पीर भी। पस अब क्या किया जाय। 'जमानां बातो साज़द, तू बा जमानां ब साज़' . पस आप से अगर हो सके तो पीराने उज़्ज़ाम को बदनाम न करो। और ख़ल्के खुदा [सारी श्रिष्टि] से मेहरबानी खुशखुलकी [सुन्दर व्यवहार] और तलीफ़ क़लबी से [दिलजमई प्रेम] से पेश आओ। और इस पर भी अगर वोह लोग नफ़रत करें तो उनके वास्ते दुआ करो कि शैतान नें उनको मंगलूग कर लिया है। वाज़िबउलरहम [दया के पात्र] हैं। और अगर न कर सको तो खुद दिन-रात यादे-खुदा में मसरूफ़ रहो। और खुद को अपनी जमीय मुरादात [सभी इच्छाओं और अरमानों को] नेस्त नाबूत समझो। और अपनी दीद में महब रहो। उम्र ज़ैद से कोई सरोकार न रक्खो। अपना सरकारी काम किया और यादे-खुदा में मसरूफ़ रहो। जो वोह चाहेगा वोह होगा। अगर कोई आया तो ख़ातिर की और जो न आया तो कुछ शिकायत नहीं। बेहमा और बाहमा यही है। हमारी जानिब से खैर ख्वाही में कोई कसूर न हो कि जिन्होंनें हमारा हाथ पकड़ा कहीं उनको शैतान न छीन ले। उसके वास्ते दुआ और हिम्मत से मदद लो। मैं तो तुम को अपना क़ायम मुकाम ख़याल करता हूँ। और मेरी हिम्मत ऐसी आली है कि मैं किसी अमर को अनहोना नहीं ख्याल करता हूँ। जिस बात पर हिम्मत करता हूँ, वोह ही होती है, उसी का ज़हूर होता है। फिर तुम क्यों पस्तहिम्मत होते हो। हाय, मेरी कमज़ोरी ने तुम में सरायत किया है। ऐसा न हो कि जलसा ख़राब हो जाय। सब अहबाब को बुला कर फिर हिम्मत करो और खुदा से तौबा करो और मेरे वास्ते दुआ करो। और कामिल मोहब्बत से एक-दूसरे की ख़ैरख़्वाही करो। एक-दूसरे में फ़ानी होओ। और भाई, मुझे मुर्दा ख्याल करो। मेरे बाद जो करते वोह अब करो।
Respected broth, the grace of Allah, the Great, be upon you. I am glad to have received your letter. I am still unwell, growing dizzy and feeling weak. Brother, nowadays there is no sign of the existence of a true Master [pir or sadguru] and it is not the fault of people, but a result of our vices. As people play different games, they also pretend to be Masters. Neither there are true seekers nor true Masters. God save you from an evil eye, there are few dedicated seekers and equally, few true Masters. But what can be done --- ---. The least you can do is not to invite any blemish for the elders of the hierarchy, behave decently and meet affectionately with all. Even then if they dislike you, pray for them that Satan has misled them and they deserve to be treated kindly. If you cannot do that, engage in the continuous remembrance of God and shed all your desires and ego and be absorbed in the self. Do not get involved with others, attend to your official duty and utilise the remaining time in the remembrance of God. It is His will that would prevail. If someone visits you, attend to him and if no one comes, no complaint. This is an excellent state of being modest. There should be no intentional laxity on our part so that those, who associate with us, may not be won over by Satan. For them pray and use your willpower. I consider you to be in the same position [spirituality], as I and my determination are so firm that I do not consider anything impossible. Whatever I resolve, it happens and manifests. Why then you lose hope? It is my weakness that is reflected in you. It should not happen that the congregation may be spoiled. Invite all and resolve firmly seeking pardon from God and praying for me. Let your love for each other, take care of all of you, get absorbed in this mutual love and consider me as dead. Assume the responsibility that you have to discharge after me.
[09] 31. 05. 1899 : अखबी अइज़्ज़ी सल्लम कुम अलेकुम। बाद सलाम और दुआ आँकि आपका कार्ड मौसूल हो कर मसर्रत का वाइस हुआ। अल्लाह जल्ले शानहू। आप को दीनी और दुनियाबी मुरादात पर सरफ़राज़ करे। आमीन। मैं दोनों उमूर में हिम्मत और दुआ करूंगा। और उम्मीद है कि दोनों मुस्तशिब होंगे। मैं देखता हूँ कि पीराने उज़्ज़ाम की अरवाह की तवज्जहआत आप की जानिब मूतवज्जह है। ऐसी सूरत में कोई मुश्किल नहीं जो आसान न हो। और क्यों न हो, तुम मोहब्बत और ऐतक़ाद में अपना सानी नहीं रखते। चिम्मन लाल साहब को दुआ।
Dated - 31.05.1899 [AD]: My dearest One, greetings to you. After due regards let me divulge that I am happy to read your letter. God, the Glorious One may fulfil all your worldly and spiritual desires. Amen! I would focus on, and pray for both and I hope that both would be fulfilled. I feel that the attention of the spirits of the elders of the Order is focused on you. In such a situation, there is nothing that can prove obstruction in your way. And why should it not be so because there is no one who is so loving and firm in the faith, as you are?
[10] अज़ीज़ मुंशी राम चंद्र साहब मद्दउम्रक़ुम। बाद सलाम के वाज़े शरीफ कि भाई तुम औरतों को सलाहे कुल की तवज़्ज़ुह दो। और उनको अपने ख़याल से नेक बनाओ। और नज़र खुदा पर रख्खो। खुदा ने तुमको वोह हिम्मत दी है कि जो ख़याल करोगे, इंशाअल्लाह वही होगा। मुशी चिम्मन लाल साहब को सलाम। यादे ख़ुदा से ग़ाफ़िल न होना। और इस कज़ीए [झगड़े] को अक्ल से फैसिल [निबटारा] कराना चाहिए।
My dear Munshi Ram Chandra Saheb, live long. After due greetings let me inform you that for the ladies, your attention should be focussed on the [sal'ahe Kul sulh-e-kul*[सुल्ह-ए-कुलصلح کل perfect reconciliation] and use your will-power that they follow the virtuous path. Keep looking towards God. God has blessed you with such a power that whatever you, God - willing would happen. Greetings to Munshi Chimman Laal. Do not fall into oblivion and this issue should be resolved intelligently.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Sulh-i kul is an Arabic term literally meaning “peace with all,” “universal peace,” or “absolute peace,” drawn from a Sufi mystic principle. As applied by the third Mughal Emperor of India, Akbar (who reigned 1556-1605), it described a peaceful and harmonious relationship among different religions. In keeping with efforts to mesh the diverse populations of his realm, Akbar proposed unity and peace among all human beings – sulh-i kul. The concept implies not just tolerance, but also the sorts of balance, civility, respect, and compromise required to maintain harmony among a diverse population.

[11] 22. 10. 1899: अखवी अइज़्ज़ी मद्दउम्र कुम। बाद सलाम के वाज़े शरीफ़ हो कि आपका करामातनामा सादिर हो कर वायिसे इंशराह हुआ। अल्लाह जल्ले शानहू बा मुराद रक्खे। आमीन। पीरान की नज़रे इनायत [कृपा दृष्टि] तुम्हारी जानिब मुलताफिस [लगी हुयी] है। तुम्हारे मुब्तदी [साधक] औरों के मुन्तही [सिद्ध] से कहीं बढ़ कर हैं। ख्वाज़ा नक़्शबंद फरमाते हैं -
"अव्वले माँ आख़िरे हर मुन्तहीस्त।
आख़िरे माँ जेबे तमन्ना तिहीस्त। "
जब खुदा चाहता है मुब्तदी मुन्तही हो जाते हैं। उम्मीद की अपनें हालात ज़ाहिरी और बातिनी से जल्द-जल्द मुत्तले फरमाते रहा करोगे।
Dated - 22.10.1899: My dearest One, live long. I am happy to read your letter. god, the Glorious One may fulfil all your desires. Amen! The grace of the elders of this Order is on you. The beginners associated with you are better than the accomplished ones of the others. Khwaja Naqshband bestows -
"The beginning of the seekers of this Order starts whereas the others finish;
And the altimeter state of the seekers of this Order is that the pockets of desires are empty."
[they have no desire whatsoever.]
when God desire, the beginners become the finishers. Hope would keep me informed of your worldly and spiritual affairs.
[12] ब्रादरम अज़ीज़ मदद मद्दउम्रकुम। आपका कार्ड मौसूल हो कर वाईसे तमानियत [इत्मीनान, तसल्ली] और इंशराह हुआ। अल्लाह जल्लएशानहू आपको दारेन [दोनों लोकों में] शादकाम [खुश] और सुर्खरूह [मुँह उजला] रक्खे। आमीन। लड़कों के बुखार का सुन कर सख्त अफसोस हुआ। अल्लाह ता आला उनको बहुत जल्द शिफाये कुल्ली [पूर्ण स्वस्थ] अता करे। आमीन।जैल में ताबीज दोनों के वास्ते दो लिखता हूँ। उनको काट कर उनके गले में बाँध देना। यह नाम पाक हैजा व चेचक और ग़ालिबन ताऊन को अज़हद मुफीद है। तुम को इसकी इजाज़त है जिसको चाहो लिख दिया करो। इन्शाअल्लाह ज़रूर फ़ायदा होगा। अज़ीज़ी रघुबर दयाल का खत आया था और उसमें कुछ शिकायत लिखी थी, फिर उसके बाद कोई खत नहीं लिखा कि उसका क्या अन्जाम हुआ। इस अम्र को को जरूर लिखना चाहिए। उस अज़ीज़ से बाद सलाम के कह दीजियेगा। और अज़ीज़ी बाबू चिम्मन लाल साहब को बाद सलाम के वाज़े हो कि तुम भी इन ताबीजों की नक़ल कर के अपनें बच्चों के गले में डाल दो। और तुम सब यादे इलाही में शामिल और मसरूफ़ रहो।
My dear brother, live long. Your letter made me happy and am satisfied. God, the Glorious One may keep you happy and unblemished in both worlds. amen! I am sorry to learn about the boys suffering from fervour. May the Almighty God make them fully healthy very soon. Amen! I am, however, writing two talismans for the boys, put these around their necks. This pious name is very effective in cases of cholera, smallpox and plague. You are given permission to use it as deemed fit. God willing, it would definitely prove effective. I have received a letter from dear Raghubar Dayal, which mentioned of some unpleasantness but thereafter I have not heard anything about it. Please convey my greeting and tell him that he should have informed me about this matter. Also, convey my greetings to dear Chimman Laal and tell him that he should also make copies of this talisman and put it around the neck of his children, as well. All of you should keep yourselves engaged in the remembrance of God.
[13] 02 . 04 . 1900 : मुंशी चिम्मन लाल साहब का हाल मालूम हुआ। अल्लाह जल्लेशानहू जल्द उनकी मुख्तारी चमका दे। मैं उनसे बहुत ख़ुश हूँ। अल्लाह ताला आप को और उनको दारैन में सुर्ख़रू और कामयाब रक्खे।
अल्लहमदो लिल्लाह कि मैं उर्स शरीफ [अजमेर शरीफ] से फ़ारिग़ हो कर बख़ैरओखूबी अपनें मकान पर आया। जो इनायत इस ज़र्राएबैमिकदार [तुच्छतितुच्छ] पर हुयी उसका बयान कभी जबानी करूँगा। इस इनायत के काबिल मेरा मुँह न था। आपके वास्ते और अज़ीजों के वास्ते दुआ कर दी है।
Dated - 02.04.1900: Came to know about Munshi Chimman Laal's welfare. Allah, the Glorious One may soon make him a successful Mukhtar [a senior court official]. I am very pleased with him. May the Almighty God make him and you both happy and successful in both worlds.
All the praise is upon god. I have returned home comfortably after paying a visit to Ajmer-sharif. I would tell you personally about the grace showered on this most significant one, sometime. I did not deserve this. Prayed for you and others, as well.
[14] 13 . 12 . 1901 : बाद सलाम आंकि आपका करामतनामा आया। अहवाल मालुम हुआ। आपने तो अब लिखा और मैं दिनों से फ़ितूर देख रहा हूँ। अल्लाह जल्ले -शानहू के दस्ते कुदरत [समर्थ हाँथ] में हिदायत और जलालत, दोस्ती और दुश्मनी है। जिनको चाहता है मेहरबानियां देता है और जिनको चाहता है नामेहरबान कर देता है। इसी तमाशे का नाम दुनियाँ है। इसी में गिरफ्त रहना मना है। आप यह नामेहरबानीयाँ देखो और खुश रहो। देखिये अंजाम हो। अल्लाह ता आला की जाते मकद्दस के सिवा हर एक से नाउम्मेद हो जाओ। सब फानी हैं। सब की दोस्ती और दुश्मनी की इन्तेहा है। इस में दिल लगाना बेजा है। खैरियत मिजाज़ से गाहे ब गाहे मुत्तिले फरमाते रहियेगा। फलाहेदारैन के वास्ते दुआ गो हूँ I
Dated - 13.12.1901: After due greetings let me inform you that you reached here and came to know about your welfare. Although you have written now I have been sensing this frailty for quite some time. Guidance is conferring eminence, the friendship of enmity, it is all at all the will of Allah, the Glorious One. He showers His grace or wrath, as He wishes. This show that is going on, is called the world. Getting stuck to, it is not desirable. You should look at this relentlessness and be happy. Wait for the outcome. Keep no hope from anyone else, except the Almighty God. Everything in the world is perishable. There is a limit to one's affection or enmity, it is undesirable to be fascinated with such things. Keep me informed about your welfare. I pray for your well-being in both worlds.
[15] 26. 02 . 1902 : अखवियम मद्दउम्रकम। बाद सलाम आँकि आपका लिफाफा पहुंचा। बदरज़ा ग़ायत सुरूरो इनविसात [खुशी] पैदा। अल्लाह ता आला आपकी ज़ात से आलम को मुनव्वर करे। सब अज़ीज़ों से कह दो कि दुनिया चन्दरोज़ा है। जो वक़्त यादे खुदा में गुज़रे ग़नीमत है। आप ज़रूर लाला मदन मोहन लाल को लिखिए, इंशाअल्लाह फ़ायदा होगा। यह शख्स भी बहुत अलैह [अधिकारी] आदमी है। अज़ीज़ी कृष्ण सहाय वाक़ई मस्त हैं। लड़कियों की शादी इंशाअल्लाह अच्छी होगी। जरूर कोई सबब होगा। हमारी शर्म खुदा के हाँथ में है। इत्मीनान रखियेगा।
Dated - 26.02.1902: May God grant you healthy and long life. After due greetings let me inform you that your cover [letter] reached here, which made me happy. The Almighty God may make you a beacon for the world. Tell the beloved ones that the world is transitory and the time spent in His remembrance alone is the time spent gainfully. You must write to Laalaa Madan Mohan Laal and Insha- Allah [God willing], it would help him. He is a deserving candidate. Dear Krishna Sahai is really a jovial person. God willing the marriage ceremony of the girls would surely be performed well. There is definitely some reason for it. Our esteem is in the hands of God, rest assured.
