PREFACE

The book, originally known as SHAMS-UL-FUQARA in its
Urdu text, is written and compiled by Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-
Aqdus. It is an epitome of the teachings of Sultan-ul-Arifeen
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh, who is the
most eminent Saint of the Subcontinent. He introduced Faqr and
its teachings, so that the True Seekers of Allah may spiritually
get closer to Allah, have His Vision and gain entry to the Majlis-
e-Mohammadi1 Sall’Allahu Alayhi Wa’alihi Wasallam, through
the Sarwari Qadri Branch of the Qadri Order. That is why
Sultan-ul-Arifeen is sometimes considered the founder of the
Sarwari Qadri Order. Though, the Qadri Order, alongwith its two
off shoots Zahidi Qadri and Sarwari Qadri, continued from
Ghaus-ul-Azam Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani Razi Allah
Anhu.
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh is the author
of 140 books most of which are in Persian, written in prose form,
alongwith Persian odes and Punjabi Abiyat. The beauty of his
teachings is remarkable and can be judged from the fact that
despite explaining all about Faqr in such an easy way, his prose
has an element of concealment that can only be understood by
those who are exposed to the Divine Secrets. He has touched
upon each and every aspect of Faqr and has given room for the
seeker to figure out his own experiences and find meanings in
accordance to his own spiritual level. For every Seeker, there is
something which can only be understood by him. The purpose of
all his books is to allow people to gain knowledge about the
spirit of Islam i.e. Faqr.

SULTAN BAHOO-THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS 7 
In this world where time is money, people hardly get to read
books and those who do, are very choosy about them. Hence,
there arises some sort of limitations. For the ease of people,
Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-
ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus has prudently gathered all the
teachings of Sultan Bahoo under different topics. Shams-ul-
Fuqara is hence, an encyclopedia of Faqr compiled in a
categorical manner. Moreover, he Madzillah-ul-Aqdus has given
references from the Quran, Hadith and books of other saints to
prove that the teachings of Sultan Bahoo are true and in
accordance to the Quran and Hadith. To reach the destination of
observation of the Divinity, no other mystic path is at par with
his path of mysticism in today's world.
Shams-ul-Fuqara comprises the following topics and titles of the
teachings of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh:

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-
ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus is the thiry first Shaikh of the
Sarwari Qadri Order and the sixth Shaikh of this Order after
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo. After his Murshid, Sultan-ul-Faqr VI
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Asghar Ali Rehmat-ul-Allah
Alayh passed away, Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan
Mohammad Najib-ur- Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus adorned the
Throne of Divine guidance and spiritual instruction. He started
granting Ism-e-Allah Zaat and accepting allegiance on the 14th
of August 2005. Since then, he has made great efforts and taken
revolutionary steps to shower the bounty of Treasure of Faqr
upon the entire Ummah. Soon, he realized that the golden
teachings of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh
need to be spread among the masses and transmitted specially to
the new generation in a language understood internationally.
Hence, he took on himself the responsibility to translate,
republish and recompile Sultan Bahoo’s books. According to his
orders, the most important selected topics of Hazrat Sultan
Bahoo’s teachings are translated in English language, keeping
the true soul of his teachings alive.
This book is being written under the flag of Tehreek Dawat-e-
Faqr whose foundation has been set by Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-
Aqdus. To provide the reader with the idea as to what this
organization is about, one should strart by pointing that the
purpose of this organization is merely to spread the teachings of
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh, from whom
the teachings of the Faqr of Hazrat Mohammad Sall’Allahu
Alayhi Wa’alihi Wasallam are received. The basic principal of
Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr is the same as that of the “Islahi Jamat”,
which was set by Sultan-ul-Faqr VI Hazrat Sakhi Sultan
Muhammad Asghar Ali Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh. This Tehreek is
working all over Pakistan under the celestial patronship of
Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-
ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus. Muslims all over the world are
openly invited to join the way of Faqr, to get close to Allah and
10    SULTAN BAHOO-THE LIFE AND TEACHINGS 
to acquire the spiritual elevation to the esoteric stages of Deedar-
e-Elahi and presence in the Sacred Assembly of Hazrat
Mohammad Sall’Allahu Alayhi Wa’alihi Wasallam, by gaining
ultimate purity of heart and soul through Zikr (invocation) and
Tasawur (contemplation) of Ism-e-Allah Zaat according to the
teachings of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh.
The message of Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr is also available all
over the world via www.tehreekdawatefaqr.com and www.tehreek-
dawat-e-faqr.com.
Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus has
also established the Khanqah Silsila Sarwari Qadri for his
disciples, exactly in the same manner as all our sufi saints had
done in the past. The doors of Khanqah2 are open for everyone
day and night without discrimination of any sect, caste, creed or
status.
Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-
ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus has established a department of
Dawat-o-Tableegh (invitation and preaching) for inviting people
towards Faqr and propagating the teachings of Faqr of Hazrat
Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh among the masses.
Preachers are especially trained for this purpose. Allah has
blessed Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad
Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus with a very high
intellectual caliber. After his Murshid passed away, he set the
foundation of Sultan-ul-Faqr Publications in August 2006 to
carry on the mission of his Murshid. He started spreading the
teachings of Faqr of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah
Alayh through books, pamphlets and magazines.
It is suggested to the reader that he should absorb this literary
work more with an open heart than an open mind. Let the air of
wisdom reach unto your soul and allow yourself to embrace the
spirit of Islam i.e. Faqr.

night.
