DAROOD KIBRYAT-I-AHMER SHAREEF

DAROOD-i-KIBIYAT
AHMER SHAREEF
( English Translation.)
In the name of Allah the Most Clement the Most Merciful
(Translated by Muhammad Riaz Qadiri from the book: The Sultan
of Saints – Mystical Life and Teachings of Sheikh Abd-ul Qdir Jilani, RA)
Foreword
Every Silsilah (chain
of transmission of spiritual influence and spiritual order) has specific
recitations some of them are very powerful, so powerful that they have a secret
way of recitation so that anyone not authorized to recite it even if he gets
hold of the original text in Arabic cannot benefit of the countless blessings
of the specific Darood or Qassidah. This is the case of Qassidah Ghauthia
Sharif, the Poem written in Arabic by HHH Abd-ul Qadir Jilani, RA, known as
Ghauth ul Adzam, RA, This title (Ghauth means Helper and Adzam means the
highest, the maximum) stands for the fact that Sheikh Abd ul Qadir Jilani, RA,
has among the awlya-Allah, (the noble and pious accepted – by Allah – Servants
of Allah SWT) the same status that His Holiness Hadzrat Muhammad, SAWS, has
among the Prophets, AS for each of them. The Qassidah Ghauthia is recited by
members of the Qadiriah and also Naqshbandiah and Chishti orders with special
authorization of the Pir. The power of the Qassidah Ghauthia is beyond
description but its number of times of recitation and its way of recitation to
be effective in all respect is a very well safeguarded secret. This way of recitation
is only available to those who are really qualified for tasawwuf in the terms
described by René Guénon in his works (especially Perspectives of Initiation).
On the other side Naqshbandi order has a very powerful Darood given by Her
Holiness Hadzrat Aysha Siddiqua, RA, the favorite spouse of HHH Prophet
Muhammad, SAW and daughter of HHH Abu Baqr Siddique, AS from whom the Naqshbandi
Order derives. Darood Kibrit Ahmar Sharif is the elective powerful instrument
for spiritual and material progress of the Chishti Order, also its power is
beyond description. It has also a specific way of recitation that renders it
very effective, but this way of recitation is not known to everyone. Anyhow in
his bounty HHH Pir Muhammad Karam Shah al-Azhari, RA, has given permission to
anyone to recite this Darood because its benefits are such that can perceive
also impure hearts. On the contrary its secret way of recitation is reserved to
those who are authorized. We give here only the English translation, the
original Arabic version will be available only for Muslims who will ask us the
full text. Introduction The Darood Kibrit Ahmar Sharif has a specific history
strictly linked with the Chishti order. Hadzrat Qibla Shams ul Arifin Khawaja
Shams-ud-Din Sialvi, RA, Pir of Sial Sharif (West Punjab, near Sargodha) in the
Nizami Chishti Order, was feeling somehow sorry because the Chishti order did
not have a specific powerful Qassidah to recite, like the Qassidah Ghauthia of
the Qadirih order. One day on his way to meet his own Pir, Hadzrat Sulayman
Taunsvi, RA, of Taunsa Sharif (a village bordering Punjab and Sarhad) he, RA,
encountered an old man during his journey. The old man greeted him and told him
“I have something to give to you to recite, my son”. The Pir Sahab (Shams-ud-Din
Sialvi, RA) knowing the rigid but effective rules of relation between Pir and
murid refused categorically to even listen to what the old man was to gift him.
Quite curiously he met the same old man several times on his journey and every
time until the old man offered him the same awrad to recite. The episodes went
on for quite sometime, until Pir Shams-ud-Din Sialvi, RA, reached the spiritual
center (kankah) of his Pir. When Pir Shams-ud-Din Sialvi, RA, went in presence
of his Pir (Hadzrat Sulayman Taunsvi, RA) and after the reciprocal greeting his
Pir Sahab, asked him “how went your journey?”, “Fine Alhamdulillah” was the
answer, then his Pir insisted “Did you meet any special person during your
journey?”, “no, I didn’t” answered Pir Shams-ud-Din Sialvi, RA, forgetting and
assuming as irrelevant the personality of the old man who was pushing him to
recite a new awrad. “Are you sure?” insisted Pir Sulayman Taunsvi, RA, the tune
of the voice of his master and his insistence made Pir Shams-ud-Din Sialvi, RA,
feeling that somehow the old man he met was important, thus he said “O yes! I
was forgetting there was an old man whom I met several times during my travel
and every time he insisted that I should take from him something to recite when
you know that I can only have it from you, my lord!” At this Pir Sulayman
Taunsvi, RA, smiled, a smile full of love for his selected and elected murid
and taking out the same papers of the old man he said: “My dear son that “old
man” was His Holiness Hadzrat Abd-ul Qadir Jilani, Ghauth ul Adzam, RA. He
understood your grief that Chishti do not have anything similar to Qassidah
Ghauthiah to recite, so he, RA, wanted to gift you this, which is the Darood
Kibrit Ahmar Sharif”. We have narrated the above story to underline that Darood
Kibrit Ahmar Sharif is of Divine origin since it has been given by the Sultan
of the Saints, RA, HHH Abd-ul Qadir Jilani, RA, after his passing away –
nothing can come from the unseen world without intercession of HHH Muhammad
Mustafa, SAWS, and authorization of Allah SWT – and therefore its power derives
from the spiritual influences contained in it. In order to understand the
importance of this Darood Sharif we can quote the following verses which are
part of a poetry: “King of both the world is Shah Abd-ul Qadir/ he is the
leader of the progeny of Adam/He is the Sun, the Moon, the Throne, the
Foot-Stool and the Pen/ Light of the heat reflected from the Sublime Light is
Abd-ul Qadir”. Therefore Darood Kibrit Ahmar Sharif is full of barqaat (Divine,
Spiritual Blessings). Furthermore the name of this Darood is also worth of some
considerations. Infact the name of this Darood is Darood of the Red Sulfur. Red
indeed is one of the colors of tasawwuf and sulfur is an element well known in
Alchemy. One of the meanings of the symbol related to the red color is that of
transformation (it is for this reason that in Islam most of the brides dress in
red to underline the permanent transformation of their life). Sulfur is also an
element used in alchemy to transform substances, thus we may say that red
sulfur stresses the aspect of a permanent transformation which derives by the
continuous recitation of this composition in praise of the Holy Prophet, SAWS.

(TRANSLATION)
Cups of union Beloved gave me to drink;
So I told my wine, advance towards me.
Then it moved and walked to me in cups;
In my intoxication, I understood the friends in my midst.
I said to all the Polar-turnips,
Come and enter my State.
And become my Companion.
Be courageous and drink, you are my army,
Because the Cup-Bearer of the Fraternity has filled my cup to
the full.
And you sipped from my cup, what I left after my deep
“intoxication”,
But you neither attained my height nor my Union.
All your stations are high, But mine is higher ever.
I am singularly near to Him, The Mighty One who changes my
state and suffices.
I am a White Falcon of every Mystic.
“Who is there among the Saints, so gifted as me?”
He enrobed me with determination embroidered,
And he crowned me with the Crown of Perfection.
Unto me He revealed
the Ancient Secrets.
He adopted me and granted my request.
And He made me a Filter over all the Polar-turnips.
So my Orders are effective under all circumstances.
Had I thrown my secret
into the oceans, They would have at once dried up.
Had I thrown my secret over mountains, They would have become
pulverized.
Had I thrown my secret into fire, It would have been at once
extinguished by the secret of my mystic state. Had I thrown my secret over the
dead, He would have stood up with the power of Exalted God.
There are no months or ages, which flow but with my
knowledge.
And they acquaint me with the present and the future, and
they give me information.
And so, will you terminate your wrangles with me.
Be courageous my disciple, be cheerful and sing, in ecstasy
And act without restraint, for His name is Exalted.
Do not be frightened, my disciple, Allah is my Sustainer,
He has granted me the status through which I have attained
high eminence.
My drums have been beaten in the heavens and earth, And I
have been given the rank of Good-Luck.
The Empire of Allah is under my command,
And my time has been purified before my birth.
I cast a glance at the entire Empire of Allah, It is like a
mustard seed alongside my sovereignty.
I acquired knowledge till I became a Polar-Star,
And I attained Good Luck through the Great Lord.
They are companions remorseful like those who fast, And are
like pearls in the darkness of the nights.
Each Saint has a station, And I follow in the footsteps of
the Holy Prophet, the Full Moon of Perfection.
He is a prophet belonging to the family of Hashim and to
Mecca and Hijaz,
He is my ancestor, I achieve my objects through him.
Do not be frightened,
my disciple, of a Slanderer, For I am a determined combatant in banie.
I am Al Jilani, my name is Muhiyuddin, And my banners fly on
mountain tops.
I am Hasani and my abode is my cell, And my feet are on the
neck of each Saint.
ABDUL QAADIR is my famous name. And my ancestor is one
possessed of an insight.
اوراد فتحيه AWRADI-FATHIA
اوراد فتحيه AWRADI-FATHIA
Hazrat Amir Kabir Mir
Sayid Ali Hamadani (RA) has authored many books and pamphlets in Arabic and Persian,
which lay stress on recognition of unity of God, worship of One God. His
remembrance and reflection are also full of sublime teachings and guidance on
mystic experiences.
Awarad-i-Fathia is one of
these priceless compositions. Its English translation has been done by Er. Haji
Ghulam Hasan Khan of Srinagar. (This is published by J&K Muslim Wakf Board
and sold at Rs. 100/- per copy and the income is to be utilized for the
construction of Islamic University of Science and Technology. However there have
been found many errors in spelling, grammar, typing & printing. It appears
that no one has done the proof reading before sending it to press.) This is a
concise primer, describing in a grand and sublime style, the attributes of the
one and only Deity Allah, His beautiful names, prayers for ourselves and for
our brethren, blessings on the Holy Prophet (PBH) all written by Shah-i-Hamadan
(RA) in Arabic. It is recited twice daily after Fajr (early dawn) and Isha
(before going to bed) prayers at the Khanqahi Mualla Srinagar and after Fajr
prayers in most of the mosques of the Kashmir valley. It is committed to memory
by tens of thousands of Kashmiris and has been found very effective whenever
faced with any problem. It has been found to serve as a real healer of the
worried mind, when recited with full understanding of its meaning.
“Verily in the remembrance of
Allah hearts do find contentment.” (Q
13:28)
A brief sketch of
Shah-i-Hamadan (RA) and that of Islam has been included by the translator for
the benefit of English speaking people.
The recitation should not take
more than 30 minutes. Have ablutions, sit facing the Qibla and recite it.
We must all seek the reward of
fallah-felicity, salvation, the fulfillment of highest spiritual hopes – a
supreme achievement indeed. Let us submit our will to Allah’s will, have faith,
hope and trust in Him and in His benevolent government of the world. Let us
offer our life, our wealth and goods in His cause and carry out His will, not
attaching undue importance to the ephemeral things of this life.
Shah-i-Hamadan (RA) has
himself given an account of how he came to give the title “AURAD-I-FATHIA” to
this compilation in these words (translated from Persian)
“As I collected and compiled
the Awrad obtained from 400 divines, the righteous, the scholars and was
considering, what name to give to it, the Holy Prophet (PBH) graced me by his
presence, when I reached Madina Munawara and said, “Hold this AL-Fathia”
When I took from the holy
hands of the Holy Prophet (PBH), what was gifted to me and glanced over it, I
saw it was the same ‘Awrad’ that had been compiled by me and these “Awrad are
means to success and felicity.”
SHAH-I-HAMADAN (RA)
Hazrat Amir Kabir Ali Sani, Mir
Sayid Ali Hamadani (RA) was born in Hamadan, Iran in 714 AH/1314 AD. Hamadan
was then a great center of Islamic learning. At a young age he (RA) mastered
all the available knowledge in theology, philosophy, metaphysics and sufism and
travelled extensively seeking knowledge and practicing spiritualism till he
became a scholar of repute, a mystic and a perfect saint. He spent his life in
propagating Islam and undertook several extensive tours through difficult
terrains and over hazardous routes.
He came to Kashmir three times
i.e. in 774 AH/1372 AD, 781 AH/ 1378 AD and 785 AH/ 1383 AD. The first visit
lasted 4 to 6 months. During this brief stay he held intellectual and spiritual
debates with a great Hindu Yogi Shahpore, the keeper and chief priest of the large
temple built in the heart of the city of Srinagar by Raja Parversen in the
second century AD. The learned Hindu Sadhu wielded great influence on the Hindu
masses and also on the Hindu intelligentsia. The great Yogi accepted Islam
amidst a large gathering. This in turn resulted in mass conversions.
The second visit lasted two
and a half years. He was accompanied by 700 Sayids, whom he posted to various
parts of the valley to give detailed instructions in the tenets of Islam to the
newly converted Muslims. He left for Turkistan via Ladakh.
The third visit lasted a year.
He left via Pakhli and breathed his last at Koner in 786 AH/1384 AD. His
earthly remains were taken and buried at Khatlan, Turkistan besides his father
Sayid Shahsab-ud-Din (RA).
The Muslims of Kashmir owe a
great debt of gratitude to this luminary of Islam for bringing them en-masse
within the fold of Islam. He is lovingly known as the founder of Islam in
Kashmir -”Baniay-Musalmani.” He had brought two relics of the Holy Prophet
(PBH) with him viz:
1.Tent Pole used in
Jihad-e-Badr and 2. Standard of the Prophet (PBH). Being a great scholar he
wrote many pamphlets and books in theology, sufism and pubic administration.
Some of these are as under:
(1) “Awrad-i-Fathia” is a
concise primer, describing the unity and attributes of Allah in a grand style.
It is recited twice daily in unison after the Fajr and Isha prayers at Khanqahi
Mualla and is otherwise also recited by tens of thousands of Kashmiris all over
the valley. Even illiterate Kashmiris have committed it to memory. The word
‘Awrad’ means repeated short prayers.
(2) Chihil Asrar-’The forty
secrets’ pertains to sufism.
(3) Zakhiratul Maluk relates
to the Art of Government and was given as advice to Sultan Qutb-ud-Din of

‘Khanqahi Mualla’ the great
Masjid, built by the son of Shah-i-Hamadan (RA) Hazrat Mir Muhammad Hamadani
(774-854 AH) in 798 AH/1395 AD is held in high esteem and is the Islamic center
for all the Muslims of the Valley. According to ‘waqfnama’ -Donation Deed
drafted by him:
01) The Khanqah has been built
on the stone platform erected by Shah-i-Hamadan (RA) under the inspirational
guidance of the Holy Prophet (PBH)
02) The keeper and the
disciples have small rooms built for them on northern and southern ends of the
Khanqah for devotional purposes.
03) A superintendent is
appointed to look to the comforts of inmates of the sanctuary, devotees,
strangers, pious men and seekers after truth. He is advised to serve the
elderly, obey the pious, and be a brother to youngster’s and a father to
orphans. He should clothe the naked and feed the hungry.
Hazrat Mir Muhammad Hamadani
(RA) presented a valuable jewel for the cost of the land and constructions. The
two relics are taken out and exhibited, when offering mass prayers on the
occasion of any natural calamity afflicting the Muslims.
Shah-i- Hamadan belonged to
Shafi school of fiqh. But as the Muslims of Kashmir belonged to Hanafi school
of fiqh, he suggested no changes in this practice in the overall interests of
Islam. When Sultan Shahab-ud-Din was engaged in a war with King Ferozshah,
Hazrat Shah-i-Hamadan (RA) got peace restored between them.

Mohammad when people remembering him remember You and bless Mohammad when
people who have forgotten him keep away remembering him. We are well pleased
with the Great God for sustaining us and with Islam as our religion and with
Mohammad (blessings of Allah on him and salutations) as His prophet and
messenger. And with Al-Quran as our Guide and with Kaaba as our Qibla and with
Prayers as an obligation and with Believers as one Brotherhood and with Siddiq.
Farooq, Uthman and Murtaza as our Imams. On all of them Allah the Great be well
pleased. Welcome the new morning and the Blessed day and the two angels who
keep record of our deeds, who are witness in justice and equity. We send You
our greetings in the beginning of this day, do please record on the first page
of our record in the name of Allah The Beneficent The Merciful and you remain
witness to the face that we witness that there is none worthy to be worshipped
excepting Allah The One. He has no partner and we bear witness that Mohammad is
His (special) servant and Messenger whom He sent for guidance and with true
religion which would overcome all the creeds even though the idolaters may
dislike it. On this witness we live and on this we shall die, on this we shall
arise on the resurrection , if the Great Allah so wills. We seek refuge with
the assistance of all these perfect letters of Allah from the evil of all His
creation. I begin with the name of Allah-all His best names I begin with the
name of Allah-The Sustainer of the Earth and the Heaven. I begin with the name
of Allah with whose name nothing in the earth and none in the heaven can cause
any harm and He is All Listening and All-Knowing. All praises are due to Allah
Who brought us into life from death and to Him we shall be raised and brought
back. We met the morning and Allah’s entire domain met the dawn. Honor,
Dignity, Greatness, Power, Government and clear proof are all for Allah and all
spiritual and worldly bounties are of Allah and the night and the day are of
Allah and everything that rests in them are of Allah-the One the Most Supreme.
We met the dawn on the natural religion Islam and on sincerely believing in His
being One and on the religion taught by our Holy prophet Muhammad. May Allah
bless and keep him and on the field of Abraham the upright Muslim who was not
one of those who treated any as partner of God.
Blessings of The Great Allah and
His angels and His apostles and His prophets and of the angels who bear His
throne and of all his creation on our leader Muhammad and his family and on His
