Reviver of Sultan Bahoo’s Work :
Determined to reveal the life and teachings of Sultan Bahoo, Sultan ul Ashiqeen continues to work for his aim until today when we find him to be the most authentic authority upon Sultan Bahoo. Unfortunately, several other writers and scholars took inspiration to work on the same subject and took content from Sultan ul Ashiqeen’s well researched work. This way, they did not go through the struggle Sultan ul Ashiqeen did to find the writings, to work on it, compile and translate it.
Sultan-ul-Faqr VII Sultan ul Ashiqeen’s Perspective Upon Bahoo’s Work
In his book, The Spiritual Guides of Sarwari Qadri Order, Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen says:
“These Spiritual Guides have played priceless roles to keep the true religion of the Holy Prophet pbuh alive. They sacrificed their entire life for the revival of the true religion. They sacrificed their entire life for the revival of the true religion. It was only after going through extreme outward and inward struggle that they reached the level where they became the Heirs of the Divine Trust of Faqr.”
Prediction of Sultan Bahoo
Sultan Bahoo said:
“When ignorance would prevail and falsehood would overcome the Truth, there would be a variety of sects and groups; every sect would consider itself upon Truth and others as the depraved ones; when people would hesitate to talk against the wrong sects; those falsely claiming to have the inward knowledge would disguise themselves as Saints and occupy the seats of shrines to plunder people’s wealth, then the Fountains of Divine Light would sprout from my shrine.”
In the present times that perfect entity is the sacred being of Sultan-ul-Faqr VII Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman. Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen is the sole bearer and a spiritual heir of Divine trust bestowed to him by the Holy Prophet pbuh. This is not in view of a verbal talk, but a fact based on the observations as well as personal experiences of all the disciples that the sacred self of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen is the perfect manifestation of all Divine attributes and Divine Essence.
