Nabi Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa In 1994, I compiled a brief booklet about Huzoor Taajush Shariah, which included his well-researched ‘Tie Fatwa’. It was amongst the first books to have been written in English discussing Huzoor Taajush Shariah’s blessed personality. This book was later used online by many and published in many books as an introduction to Huzoor Taajush Shariah. Hence, I have also the information from that book, with necessary changes, to this document. Ever since, I have intended to prepare a more detailed book on the life and works of Huzoor Taajush Shariah Allama Mufti Mohammad Akhtar Raza Khan Qaadiri Azhari Qibla. Alhamdu Lillah, this has finally materialised and by the Grace of Allah and the Mercy of the Beloved Rasool and the Karam of my Masha’ikh, I have managed to compile from numerous sources a book in tribute to Huzoor Taajush Shariah. I have named this book, ‘The Miracle of Raza, Taajush Shariah Sayyidi Akhtar Raza’. I have presented in this book information, which I personally have knowledge of and have included translations from numerous articles and books discussing Hazrat. I have also translated and included in this compilation many articles, which have been presented in the book, ‘Tajalliyaat e Taajush Shariah’. After putting together all this 8 information, I have still found this book to be incomplete, for the more I wrote, the more information I found. Hence, I decided to end this edition with the information at hand and In’sha Allah as we receive more information I will try to add this to later editions of the Book. In the last few days, I have also requested some Mureeds of Huzoor Taajush Shariah to share with me their experiences with Hazrat, so they have sent me many Karaamats of Hazrat, which they have experienced. I have included these Karaamats in this Book. Alhamdu Lillah, this humble servant has been blessed with Hazrat’s closeness ever since my student days in Bareilly Shareef, and even after returning home, and until this day. Whenever, Hazrat came to Durban in the early days, and when the airport was in the southern part of the city, Huzoor would stop over from the airport at my parent’s humble home, rest there for a while and then continue to his destination. Alhamdu Lillah, Hazrat did this for as long as their home was on the airport route. Our family had a very special spiritual relationship to Huzoor Taajush Shariah, without even knowing about this blessing. When we were young, we always found people becoming Mureed, but my dad never took Bai’at at the hands of anyone. We would always question him about this and we would ask him to take Bai’at so that the rest of us could follow, but although he spent time in the company of many great Ulama and was blessed with meeting many senior Ulama, he never took Bai’at. He would always say, I dreamt of a personality once and In’sha Allah one day when I see him I will become his Mureed. As kids, we would ‘joke’ with my dad and say, ‘when are you going to see the personality whom you dreamt’ and he would say, ‘In’sha 9 Allah, one day’. Years passed and he never took Bai’at. Then In 1990, whilst I was a student in Bareilly Shareef my father performed his first Hajj and then came to Bareilly to visit me. He arrived a day or two before the ‘Yaum e Mufti e Azam’ (Birth Day Celebration of Huzoor Mufti e Azam He stood at the supper section of the Khanqah with us as the Chaadar .(◌ؓ procession went to the Mazaar Shareef, and Huzoor Taajush Shariah was walking with all the Mureeds and well-wishers towards the Mazaar. On seeing this sight, he became teary eyed and very emotional and went downstairs. Later that evening he came to my room and said that he had become Mureed of Huzoor Taajush Shariah. Thereafter, I repeated his old statement and said, ‘but will you not wait for the one whom you dreamt many years ago?’ He replied, ‘this is why I became Mureed. He is the one I dreamt of so many years ago! Alhamdu Lillah, this was a very blessed moment for me.’ Today I realise that our spiritual relationship to Huzoor Taajush Shariah and to Bareilly Shareef is a very old one. Alhamdu Lillah, my respected mother who is a Sayed, is also Mureed of Huzoor Taajush Shariah. Allah bless my parents and all our parents with long life with Imaan. Aameen. I pray that Almighty Allah accepts this humble effort and blesses all those who have contributed towards the success of this book with immense blessings in their Deen and Duniya. I pray that Allah blesses us with firmness on Maslak e Aala Hazrat and protects us from the trickery and deception of the bud-mazhabs and from the Sullah Kullis, whose aim is to distance the true adherents of the Ahle Sunnat from the true path. These 10 Sullah Kullis call for a unity, which in reality is not unity but it is a means of destroying the very foundation Maslak e Aala Hazrat. Huzoor Taajush Shariah and Huzoor Muhad’dith e Kabeer have fought with their pens and words against this disease of Sullah Kulliyat.
