Lahore — 8 April 2026: Sultan ul Faqr VI is one of the most sacred and luminous personalities in the entire chain of Sarwari Qadri spiritual guides. Born on the very day Pakistan came into existence — 14th August 1947 — his arrival carried a Divine significance that only the people of spiritual insight could fully appreciate. The book Sultan-ul-Faqr VI Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali — Life and Teachings, authored by Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen, Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah ul Aqdas, preserves the radiant legacy of this extraordinary Saint and extracts from his life five lessons that every sincere seeker of Allah desperately needs today.
Sultan ul Faqr VI and the Secret of True Love for the Murshid
The first and most defining lesson from the life of Sultan ul Faqr VI is the reality of true Ishq — the ardent Divine love — for the Murshid and the Holy Prophet ﷺ. Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali lived every breath of his life in complete submission to his spiritual guide. He once said: “As I walk on the earth, there are many people following and respecting me. They kiss my hands and some even touch my feet — it is only because of Prophet’s ﷺ kindness and my slavery to him. Otherwise I am nothing.” This profound humility in a man of such extraordinary spiritual stature reveals the first great lesson: the highest station in Faqr is reached not through pride but through complete annihilation of the self in the love of the Prophet ﷺ and the Murshid.
Sultan ul Faqr VI and the Mission of Spreading Ism-e-Allah Zaat
The second lesson is the urgency of spreading the invocation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat to every sincere seeker. Sultan ul Faqr VI travelled tirelessly, blessing seekers across the country with the Divine Trust of Ism-e-Allah Zaat. He established the Islahi Jamat — a spiritual reform movement — through which thousands of sincere souls were guided toward the purification of their innerself and the closeness of Allah. His mission was not limited to any tribe, city or class. The doors of his spiritual attention were open to all who came with sincerity of heart.
Sultan ul Faqr VI and the Transfer of the Divine Trust
The third and perhaps most historically significant lesson concerns the transfer of the Divine Trust of Faqr. On 21st March 2001, in the blessed city of Madina, Sultan ul Faqr VI transferred the Divine Trust and spiritual succession to Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen, Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah ul Aqdas. This sacred moment — occurring in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ himself in the spiritual realm — marked the continuation of the chain of Faqr into the present era. The lesson here is that the light of Faqr never dies. It passes from one perfect guide to another, ensuring that every sincere seeker in every era has access to the living spring of Divine proximity.
Sultan ul Faqr VI and the Celebration of Mawlid
The fourth lesson from the life of Sultan ul Faqr VI is the centrality of love for the Holy Prophet ﷺ in the path of Faqr. Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali regularly held grand assemblies of Mawlid and declared that life without the love of Prophet Mohammad ﷺ is completely worthless. He said: “I wish to listen to the praise and encomiums of the Prophet ﷺ my entire life and the same should be the aim of everyone’s life.” In a time when the love of the Prophet ﷺ is under attack from those who call it heresy, Sultan ul Faqr VI stands as an unshakeable witness that Mohammadan love is the very foundation of the path to Allah.
Sultan ul Faqr VI and the Lesson of Complete Trust in Allah
The fifth lesson is tawakkul — complete and unconditional trust in Allah. Despite facing immense challenges, Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali never wavered in his trust in Allah and never sought the world or its comforts. He passed away on 26th December 2003, leaving behind a spiritual legacy that continues to illuminate the hearts of thousands through his successor Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen, Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah ul Aqdas.
The living chain of Sultan ul Faqr VI continues today. Those who wish to walk this sacred path are warmly welcomed at Masjid e Zahra, Village Rangeel Pur Sharif, Sundar Adda, Multan Road, Lahore.
