Hazrat Sayyiduna Shaykh Sirri Saqti Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
HIS POSITION IN THE SILSILA : Saalik-e-Hadrat-e-Malakoot, Shaahid Izzat-e-Jabroot Hadrat Shaykh Sirruddeen Sirri Saqti Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho is the tenth Imam and Shaykh of the Silsila Aaliyah Qaadiriyah Barakatiyah Ridawiyyah Nooriyah.
BIRTH : He was born around the year 155 Hijri in Baghdad Shareef.
NAME : His name is Sirruddeen and he was also known as Abul Hassan.
SHAYKH-E-TARIQAT : He was the mureed and Khalifa of Hadrat Ma'roof Karkhi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He also served Hadrat Habeeb Raa'ee Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He says, "Once I was sitting in my shop, when Hadrat Habeeb Raa'ee Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho passed by my shop, and I gave him some bread. He then made dua for me, and since then I decided to change my life for the better." [Masaalik as-Saalikeen]
HIS FATHER : His father's name was Hadrat Mughlis Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. [Masaalik as-Saalikeen]
HIS EXCELLENCE : He was the Imam of the Ahle Tasawwuf and he possessed in-depth knowledge. He was a huge mountain of knowledge, yet he was blessed with kindness. He was amongst the students of Hadrat Fuzail ibn Ayaaz Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho and was also a Tabbe Taabi'een. He was amongst the first persons to openly spread the knowledge of tasawwuf in Iraq. Various great Shaykhs of Baghdad were blessed with being in his Silsila. He was also the maternal uncle, and the Peer-o-Murshid of Hadrat Junaid-e-Baghdadi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. Hadrat Junaid-e-Baghdadi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho says, "I did not see any person as Kaamil (perfect) as my Peer-o-Murshid." Hadrat Bishr Haafi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho said, "I never used to ask for anything from anyone but Hadrat Sirri Saqti Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho, as I was very well aware of his piety and I knew that he was always happy to give." [Masaalik as-Saalikeen, Vol 1, Page 292].
It was his habit, that he performed one thousand rakats of nafil salaah daily. Hadrat Junaid Baghdadi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho says, "I have never seen a more greater Aabid and Zaahid than him, and I did not see this in anyone else, that he had reached the age of 98, and the only time I saw him rest, was at the time of his demise." [Masaalik as-Saalikeen]
He was the perfect example of his illustrious predecessors. Once some of his devotees came to him, and asked him to explain the reality of Sabr (patience). He thus began to deliver a lecture on the topic of patience. Whilst he was delivering his lecture, a scorpion stung him on his feet. He continued delivering his lecture. Those, present said, "Huzoor! Kill the scorpion and move it away." On hearing this, he said, "I am ashamed to behave contrary to that which I am discussing, in other words show impatience due to the sting of the scorpion."
DUA OF HIS SHAYKH : He says, "Once my Peer blessed me with the opportunity of clothing an orphan child. After I did this, he made dua for me and said, 'May Allah make the world your enemy and may he grant you freedom from this.' The power of his dua was such, that my entire life changed, and I divorced myself from the world."
CHARACTER AND HABITS : He was a very kind and honourable person. He was also a very humble personality. Once he said, "Thirty years have passed now, and I am still making tauba because of one thing that I made shukr (thanks) for." People asked what he meant, and he said, "Once there was a fire in the market place and all the shops burnt down except mine. When I was informed of this, I made shukr (thanked Allah). I thus make tauba, since it meant that by saying Alhumdulillah my shop was saved, meant that I felt I was better than my other Muslim brothers and that I was pleased that a worldly possession was saved." [Masaalik as-Saalikeen]
Once Hadrat was delivering a lecture in Baghdad, and one of the ministers of the Khalifa came with great pomp and splendour and sat in his mehfil. His name was Ahmad bin Yazeed. At the time when he entered, Hadrat was saying, "From all Allah's creation, the weakest creation is man, yet he is so brave in committing major sins. It is sad, very sad." These words of Hadrat entered the heart of the minister. He immediately went home and remained in silence. He did not even eat a meal on that night. He remained hungry the entire night and in the morning, he dressed in the clothes of a faqeer and presented himself in the darbaar of Hadrat Sirri Saqti Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. He said, "Yesterday, your lecture made a great impact on my heart, so please help me to gain closeness to Allah." Hadrat said, "The normal method is that you should read your five times salaah with Jama'at and give Zakaat from your wealth, and follow all the laws of Shariah with sincerity. The special method is this, that you should divorce yourself from the world and remain engrossed in the ibaadat of Allah, and that you should only desire the pleasure of Allah and nothing else." Hadrat was still advising him, when Ahmad bin Yazeed stood up and immediately walked towards the jungle. After a few days, his mother arrived crying. She said that he was her only son, and she did not know where he had gone. Hadrat said, "O Dear old woman! Your son will return soon, and I shall inform you when he returns." After a few days, he returned in the garb of a faqeer and only stayed for a while, and then left. He then came to Hadrat once more, and during that visit, he passed away in the hands of Hadrat Sirri Saqti Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho. [Masaalik as-Saalikeen]
A DRUNK BECOMES A NAMAAZI: Once he saw a drunk lying on the ground, calling the name of Allah. Hadrat washed his mouth and said, "He does not know that he is taking the most exalted name with his impure mouth." After he left, the drunk man became sober. Those that were present told him what had happened while he was intoxicated. He was very embarrassed, and he began to curse his nafs and weep bitterly. He said, "O shameless nafs! Sirri Saqti has now seen you in this sad state, and he too left. Now fear Allah and repent." That night, Hadrat Sirri Saqti Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho heard a voice from the unseen which said, "You washed his mouth for my sake, and I have washed his heart for your sake." When Hadrat went to the Masjid, for Tahajjud Salaah, he found the once drunk man, now in the Musjid reading his Tahajjud Salaah. Hadrat asked how the sudden change had occurred in him, and he said, "Why do you ask me concerning this, when Allah has already informed you about it." Hadrat Junaid Baghdadi Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho says, "Once I presented myself at the home of Hadrat, and I found him very sad and silent. I asked the reason for his condition, and he said, 'A Pari (female Jinn) from amongst the fairies came to me and asked the meaning of (Haya) modesty, and when I explained the meaning to her, she melted like wax.' Even, I saw the water from the body of the Pari."
GEMS OF WISDOM :
- An Aarif is like the sun with its beauty and qualities, for its light passes over all. He is like the earth, that it holds the weight of the entire creation. He is like the water, through which the hearts gain life, and he is like fire that the entire domain is brightened by him.
- Do whatever you can before you become old, since in old age you will be able to do nothing, just as I can not do anything. (Even though not even the young where Like Hadrat Sirri Saqti in his old age).
- Stay away from the wealthy, those Qaaris who recite for name and fame, and from very wealthy Ulama.
- One who can not control his own nafs can not be of assistance to others.
- All become obedient to him, who is obedient to Allah.
- A man abstains from sins for three reasons., from the fear of Allah, the hope of attaining Jannat, and through the modesty in the Court of Allah.
- The most intelligent and wise amongst men are those who understand the secrets of the Quran and ponder over it.
- An Aarif is he, whose food is like the food of the sick, his sleep is like that of a person bitten by a snake, and his lavishness like that of a person who is drowning in water.
- The bravest deed is to take control of your nafs (desires).

Hazrat Shah Barkatullah (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) once dreamt of Huzoor (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam) and Hazrat Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) who commanded him to live in Mahrerah Shareef, in the area where the Khanqah-e-Barkaatiyah is today.

He attained a very exalted glad tiding from the Darbaar of Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) said, 'I am responsible for the intercession of those mureeds linked to your khandaan. I will not enter Jannat, until I do not enter the mureeds and those linked to your Khandaan into Jannat.'
THE REALITY OF SHEIKH SADOO THE CURSED:
Hazrat Sayyiduna Shah Ache Mia (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) writes as follows in Aa'in-e-Ahmadi: 'Sheikh Sadoo was a human. He lived around the middle of the eleventh century, during the rule of Hazrat Muhiyudeen Aurangzeb Alamgir. He used to do a very powerful amal, that used to be done on the hair of a camel. He was a very sinful person and enjoyed sinning. He spent his days and nights committing major sins. He used to make use of his amal, to lure one woman to him self every night. He used to attain the most beautiful women, through the use of his muakils. He would then commit adultery with them. This action of his was disliked by his muakils but they were now in his control. When he intended to commit zinna, he would draw a Hisaar (fortification circle) around him and keep water inside this hisaar. One day, when he completed making zinna, he realized that he had forgotten to keep water inside his hisaar for ghusl, so he asked his muakils. The muakils were waiting for an opportunity like this, to kill him. The muakils caught hold of him and threw him from the top of a mountain. Because, Sheikh Sadoo's asr (venom) was already in the hearts and minds of many, he caused them to worship him and do things for him. This evil of Sheikh Sadoo reached Marehrah Shareef and this was because, many people who lived in Marehrah Shareef had relatives who lived in the town where Sheikh Sadoo used to live."
When Hazrat Saahibul Barkaat arrived in Marehrah Shareef; he saw some amazing behavior. He found that the people of Marehrah made the niyaaz of Sheikh Sadoo, some of them presented things on his behalf etc. He commanded the people to leave their false ways and to stop showing respect towards an evil person. He explained to them that their actions were against the Shariah. Hazrat's words made a difference, and the people now rectified the false practices. Once Sheikh Sadoo came to Hazrat and said that Hazrat was not one of his followers and he was causing those who followed him to leave his way. He thus said that he wished to challenge Hazrat Shah Barkatullah (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). Hazrat Saahibul Barkaat reprimanded him in a very harsh voice, and Sheikh Sadoo ran away. It was Hazrat's manner that every year he went twice into seclusion for forty days. Once whilst in seclusion, he needed to make ghusl. Hazrat was on his way to the river to make ghusl, when the khabees Sheikh Sadoo confronted him. He said, 'You have caused great harm to me and insulted me. I am now going to cause you to burn.' Hazrat then reprimanded him and asked him not to confront a true faqeer. Hazrat then said, 'You must burn me when you want to, but now you must see the way I burn' Hazrat then made ghusl and took Sheikh Sadoo into a very powerful hisaar (grasp). He continued to make the hisaar tighter, until he brought sheikh sadoo very close to him. He then said, 'Look how I cause you to burn and how I destroy you in a moment.' Sheikh Sadoo began to cry and begged to be released. Hazrat then promised to leave him on condition that:
(a). He will never trouble any mureed or any person who is linked to the Barkaati Khandaan
(b). He will never enter, even by mistake, any area where Hazrat or any member of Hazrat's family is present
(c). If I enter anywhere, and if you or any member of your family comes there, then I will leave. (Hazrat thus released him on these conditions).
POETRY:
Hazrat had a deep love for poetry and wrote many Naats in praise of the Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam). His pen name in the field of poetry is Ishqi.' A few stanzas of his world renowned Salaam is being presented for the sake of blessings:

HIS KARAAMATS:
The greatest karaamat of Saahibul Barkaat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) was his firmness in the matters of Deen. Ahsanul Ulama Hazrat Sayyid Shah Hassan Mia Barkaati (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) says, 'The grands/o Hazrat' Makhdoom Shah Barkaat, Hazrat' Sayyid Shah Hamza (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) recorded a few of Hazrat's karaamats in Kaashiful Astaar Shareef and then wrote, 'If the karaamats of my grandfater Saahibul Barkaat have to be written, then one complete volume would not be enough.'' A few Karaamats of Hazrat Saahibul Barkaat are being presented for the sake of attaining blessings.
It is in Kaashiful Astaar Shareef, Shuja'at Khan; the servant of Nawaab Muhammad Khan always presented himself at the annual Urs of Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), which used to be commemorated in Marehrah Shareef. Once he went to the Urs in Ajmer Shareef, and the date of the Urs of Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) had drawn very near. He traveled from Ajmer Shareef until he reached Marehrah Shareef for the Urs. He went to Marehrah Shareef, where he saw a light, which changed his life. He now intended to become a Darvesh (Dervish). He then said that he would accept Hazrat Saahibul Barkaat as a great mystic, if he gave him some food when they met. The time of Asar Salaah arrived and Shuja'at Khan went to meet with Hazrat. Hazrat had just emerged from his home to make wudhu. Hazrat had some bread and methi and mutton curry in his hands. He saw Shuja'at Khan and smiled. He gave this food to Shuja'at Khan and said, 'There is no need to become a dervish. The servants of Allah are attaining benefit from you even without you being a Dervish.' When Shuja'at Khan heard this, he immediately knew that Hazrat was a great mystic.
One of his Karaamats that during his era, even the Hindus of Marehrah Shareef used to make the Zikr of Allah. Hazrat Sayyid Hamza (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) says that even the birds could be heard reading the Kalima-e-Tauheed.

RELICS:
Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Mia Marehrwi (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) says, 'The Khanaqah attained the blessed hair of the Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam) in the time of Hazrat Saahibul Barkaat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). Hazrat's Khalifa Shah Roohullah (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) brought this blessed hair from the belongings of Nawaab Khair Andesh Khan Alamgiri. The certificate depicting how the blessed hair reached Khair Andesh Khan is written in detail in Aasar-e-Ahmadi and in Kashiful Astaar Shareef. Alhumdulillah, this blessed hair of the Prophet (Sallallaho Alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallam) is still present at the Khanqah and ziyaarat takes place during the Urs.' Hazrat also had the Cloak of Hazrat Ali (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) and the hair of Imam Hussain (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) amongst the Tabarukaat.
THE CLOAK OF HAZRAT ALI (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho):
It is reported that Hazrat's cloak belonged to Hazrat Ali (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) and was worn by Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), Hazrat Qutbudeen Bakhtiyaar Kaaki (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), Hazrat Baba Fareedudeen Ganj Shakr (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), Mahboob-e-Ilaahi Hazrat Nizaamudeen Awliyah (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), Hazrat Naseerudeen Chiragh Delhwi (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho), Hazrat Makhdoom Shah Bare Makhdoom, Shah Safi, Hazrat Meer Abdul Waahid Bilgiraami, and then from one generation until the next, till it reached Hazrat Sayyid Shah Barkatullah (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). This cloak is still present in Marehrah Shareef and is kept on the shoulder of the Sajjada Nasheen at the time of the Urs. There are also various other tabarukaat in Marehrah Shareef, which can be seen even today at the time of the Urs-e-Qaasmi.
With the exception of the above-mentioned Tabarukaat, seven beads and one turban was blessed to the Khanqah. It is state that Hazrat Saahibul Barkaat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) attained these from Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) through Hazrat Bu Ali Shah Qalandar (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). Hazrat was informed through muraqiba (spiritual meditation) that he was to attain some gifts through Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). This was the time of the Urs of Hazrat Al'au'deen Ali Ahmed Saabir Kalyari (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). Hazrat sent a Darvesh to Hazrat Saabir Paak's (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) Urs. On the way, the Darvesh met a person who gave him seven beads and a turban and said, 'Yahi Payaam Yahi Risaala Kaihoo Barkaat Marehrah Waala' This is the message, This is the letter. Say this to Barkaat, The one from Marehrah). When the Darvesh returned to Marehrah Shareef, he handed everything over to Hazrat Sahibul Barkaat (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) and asked about the person whom he met. Hazrat said that it was Hazrat Bu Ali Shah Qalandar (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho) and the gifts were from Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho). [Khandaan Barkaat Pg.10]

In 1226, he attained the Khilafat of the Zaraaqiya Silsila and on the request of Hadrat Ache Mia (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho) he was enrolled to study Hadith under Hadrat Shah Abdul Aziz Muhadith-e-Delhwi (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho). He also studied Tib (medicine) under the guidance of his father, Hadrat Suthre Mia (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho).
SHEIKH-E-TARIQAT: He was mureed of Hadrat Ache Mia (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho) and attained Khilafat from him and from his beloved father Hadrat Suthre Mia (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho).
HIS EXCELLENCE: Hadrat Aale Rasool Marehrwi (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho) is from amongst the great Mashaikh of the 13th Century. He served the Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaat with great sincerity and dedication. His was very kind and generous and always showed love towards the needy and the orphans.His character and habits were a beautiful example of the Sunnat of the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihi wasallam). He always performed his Namaaz in congregation at the Musjid and not a single Tahajjud Salaah of his was ever made Qaza. He was always willing to help others and never revealed the wrongs of people in the presence of others. He would only prescribe those duas, which are from the Hadith of the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihi wasallam). He always dressed in the garb of Ulama. He always presented himself in the Mehfil-e-Meelad, Naat Mehfil, lectures, Qira'at Mehfils etc. He never compromised the Shariah.
He was so kind, that whenever anyone asked for money, he would never refuse them. He never performed Imaamat. He always remained a muqtadi. One Maulana Ainul Hassan Saahib, who was a Saahib-e-Kashf, arrived in Marehrah Shareef. He joined the Namaaz and then left in between Salaah, breaking his Namaaz. After Namaaz, he looked at the Haafiz Saahib who was the Imam and said, "Haafiz Saahib, there is no need to go to the market place and buy groceries whilst in Namaaz. How far do you expect us to go with you?"
In other words, he knew of what the Imam was thinking during Salaah. When Hadrat heard Mufti Saahibs, question to the Imam, he became very upset and said, "It is better you lead the Namaaz, rather than following Haafiz Saahib everywhere. You yourself are not fully in Salaah, otherwise how would you be able to know what is in the hearts of other."
HIS KARAAMATS: There are various karaamats of Hadrat, but only a few are being quoted.
Philosophy of Me'raj: Once, one of Hadrat's mureeds began to wonder how Rasoolullah (Sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) went for Meraj in such a short space of time. During this time, Hadrat was performing wudhu. Hadrat asked him to go into his room and bring him a towel.
The man went into the room. He saw a beautiful orchard outside the house. He could not help but to go into the orchard. Whilst walking in the garden, he found himself in a huge city. In the city, he decided to start a business. He married in the same city, and even had children. He lived there for twenty years.
Suddenly, he heard the voice of Hadrat Aale Rasool Marehrwi (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho), he found himself at the window once again. He rushed in and took the towel to Hadrat. When he went to Hadrat, he saw that he had just made wudhu and the water was still on his blessed face and his hands were still wet.
The mureed was astonished by what had happened to him. Hadrat smiled at him and said, "Mia, You went there and lived for twenty years and even married, and here, the water of my wudhu has not dried up as yet. I am sure that you now understand the Me'raj of the Prophet (Sall Allaho alaihi wasallam)." SubhaanALLAH!
Present during Hajj: Once Haji Raza Khan Saahib Marehrwi went for Hajj, and after Hajj, he presented himself before Maulana Muhammad Ismail Saahib Muhajir, so that he may become his mureed.
The respected Maulana said, "Why did you not take bai'at from Hadrat Shah Aale Rasool (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho). He was with me a little while ago."
When Haji Saahib returned to Marehrah Shareef, he narrated this incident to Hadrat Aale Rasool (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho). Hadrat said, "He must have been mistaken. I did not even leave the Khanqah to go anywhere."
HIS FAMILY: He married Nisaar Faatima (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anho), the daughter of Sayyid Muntakhib Hussain Bilgiraami. Almighty Allah blessed him with two sons and three daughters.
