In today’s materialistic and self-centered world, true salvation lies in Divine nearness, love, and recognition (ma‘rifa) of Allah. This sacred path requires the guidance of a Perfect Spiritual Guide (Murshid Kamil). A beautiful and profound example of such spiritual training was recently witnessed at a blessed gathering held at the central headquarters of Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr in Lahore. The gathering was led by none other than the organization’s founder and the present-day spiritual reformer, Sultan ul Ashiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib ur Rehman (Madzillah al-Aqdus) — the current Imam of the Sarwari Qadri Order and reviver of the teachings of Faqr (Sufism in its purest form).
A Heavenly Atmosphere Filled with the Remembrance of Allah
The gathering commenced with the recitation of the Holy Quran and salutations upon the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). This was followed by a special session of collective Dhikr (invocation) and contemplation of Ism-e-Allah Zaat — the Personal Name of Allah. The spiritual ambiance was so intense that it felt as if Divine light was descending into the hearts of those present. Every participant seemed deeply absorbed in the remembrance, their hearts aligned with the rhythm of “Allah, Allah,” radiating inner peace and calm.
Sultan ul Ashiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib ur Rehman’s Enlightening Address
The central moment of the gathering was the deeply moving and wisdom-filled address by Sultan ul Ashiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib ur Rehman (Madzillah al-Aqdus). With immense kindness and spiritual charisma, he addressed his disciples and seekers of Allah. He explained:
“Faqr is not a worldly pursuit; it is the path of Divine love, closeness, and true recognition of Allah. This path takes the seeker from servitude to complete gnosis, and the only true means of traversing this path is through Ism-e-Allah Zaat under the guidance of a Perfect Spiritual Guide.”
He further emphasized:
“The ultimate purpose of life is not the world, but Allah. Whoever sincerely seeks Allah through the invocation and contemplation of His Personal Name, Allah bestows upon them His nearness and vision.”
He advised his disciples to adopt patience, humility, service to humanity, sincerity, and complete obedience to their spiritual guide as essential attributes on the journey of Faqr. Mere verbal claims are not enough — real devotion must be proven through action and spiritual discipline.
A Session of Spiritual Questions and Enlightened Answers
After the address, attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions. A wide range of spiritual, practical, and ethical topics were raised. Sultan ul Ashiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib ur Rehman (Madzillah al-Aqdus) responded with depth, wisdom, and clarity. His answers touched hearts and brought clarity to many seekers on their inner journey.
Collective Prayers and the Sacred Tradition of Langar
At the end of the gathering, Sultan ul Ashiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib ur Rehman (Madzillah al-Aqdus) made a heartfelt collective prayer for all disciples, the Muslim Ummah, and every sincere seeker of Allah’s love and gnosis. The gathering concluded with the distribution of Langar (blessed food), symbolizing the spirit of equality, brotherhood, and Divine generosity — a hallmark of the Faqr tradition.
Conclusion: A Living Chapter of Spiritual Transformation
This gathering was far more than a mere physical assembly — it was a vibrant spiritual classroom. Every attendee left with their hearts illuminated and their spirits uplifted. Events like these are a practical manifestation of Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr’s noble mission:
“To spread the message of Faqr-e-Mohammadi (Sufi path of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and Ism-e-Allah Zaat to all humanity.”
We pray that Allah Almighty grants Sultan ul Ashiqeen Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib ur Rehman (Madzillah al-Aqdus) a long and blessed life, continues to expand his spiritual influence across the globe, and allows us to remain forever connected to his blessed company and Divine teachings. Ameen.
