Maulana Daud and His Candayan MAULANA DAUD AND HIS CANDAYAN Maulana Daud’s Candayan is the first Sufi text in Hindi which was composed in A.H.781 (1379A.D.). Candayan has been referred to by Shaikh Quddus Gangohi (1456-1537 A.D.)1 and the famous historian Al Badauni2 and in the Gazetteers of Awadh3 and Raibareli district of Uttar Pradesh. However real study of Candayan started when Paramesvari Lal 1 Quddus Gangohi: Qutub al-’Alam ‘Abd al Quddus b. Isma’il b.Safi al-Din Hanafi Gangohi was the disciple, brother- in- Law and Khalifah of Shaikh ‘Arif b. Ahmad Abd al Haqq (Rudaulwi) “but got besides an investiture from almost all the Khanwadas or Sufic branches. He spent thirty years in Rudauli, migrated thence in A.H. 896-1491, early in the reign of Sultan Sikandar Lodi (A.H. 894-923/ A.D. 1489-1517) at the suggestion of his disciple ‘Umar Khan Kasi one of the ‘Amirs, to”Shahabad“ near Delhi. where he remained another thirty five years. In 932/1525_26, when Babur defeated and killed Sul- tan Ibrahim b. Sikandar Lodi and sacked Shahabad, ‘Abd al-Quddus moved to Gangoh. where after fourteen years he died in 944/1537 or 945/ 1537 at the age of eighty four. For details see C.A. Storey, Persian Literature, Luzac and company, LTD. London,1972, vol- ume 1 part 2 pp 967-68. See also Simon Digby, Abd al-Quddus Gangohi (1456- 1537A.D.): The personality and attitudes of a medival Indian Sufi, in Medieval India (a miscellany), Department of History,Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, 1975, vol.∞∞3. Shaikh Abd-l Quddus Gangoi used to compose poems in Hindi by the name of Alakhdas. A collection of his poems has been published by Shailesh Zaidi and Athar Abbas Rizvi. Alakhbani, Bharat Prakashan Mandir, Aligarh, 1971. The transliteration system in these above notes is different from the one I have followed in the main article. 2 Mulla Abdul Qadir Badauni was the son of Shaikh Muluk Shah and was born in A.H. 947 1540 A.D. at Toda or Toda Bhim near Jaipur. Soon after his birth, he was taken to Basawar in Bharatpur. At the age of twelve his father took him to Sambhal for educa- tion. Again he returned to Basawar and went to Agra for studies. In A.H. 969 (1562 A.D.) his father died and then he moved to Badayun. In A.H. 981 (1574 A.D.) he joined the court of Akbar, the great Mughal king. In the court he was entrusted with the work of translating some Sanskrit texts which he did not enjoy. He was in opposition with famous scholars of his age Fazl and Faizi who were his class fellows for some time. His orthodox view about Shariat and Islam in general was not consonant with Akbar’s policy. He died in A.H 1024 (1615-16 A.D.) His history, Muntakhabut Tawarikh, also called Tarikh-i- Badauni is a history of Muslim rulers in India. His anti Akbar attitude is very clear in this history. He criticises saints like Shaikh Muhammad Ghaus Gwaliyari (Shattari) too who was liberal in his approach. 3 The town Dalmau prospered during the reign of Atamash of Delhi about 600 Hijri. At that time one Makhdum Badruddin, a companion of the king, resided there. Thence- forward the town did well till the time of Firoz Shah Tughluq, who founded a school for the instruction of the people in Moslem lore Its usefulness can be gathered from the perusal of a book “Chandrani” in Bhakha, edited by Mulla Daud of Dalmau in 619 A.H. (1255)* Gazetteer of the Province of Oudh, Lucknow, 1877, p. 355. (*This date is not correct. Mulla (Maulana) Daud was an original poet who used the oral epic Loriki or Canaini for the composition of Candayan in 1379. Maulana Daud was not the editor. Author) 130 S.M. PANDEY (P.L.) Gupta published his book Maulana Daud Dalmai k®t Candayan in 19644. Later Mata Prasad (M.P.) Gupta in 1967 published another text, called Candayan, (Daud Viracit Pratham Sufi Premakhyan)5. P.L. Gupta had discovered a new manuscript from the Ryland Museum Manchester, in which three hundred and twenty folios are in tact. The manuscript is illustrated with miniature paintings and three hundred and twenty three verses are preserved. In his edition M. P. Gupta utilised the Bikaner man- uscript, not available to P.L. Gupta, in which ‘four hundred and thirty nine verses are incorporated. M.P. Gupta’s text is more complete than that of P. L. Gupta since the initial parts of the work, in which praise to God, praise to Muhammad and his four friends and the date of composi- tion of the text and the contemporary king and his Vazir,are all men- tioned. These eighteen important verses of the beginning in their com- plete form are found in the Bikaner manuscript which is in the Devanagari script and was written in Vikram Samvat 1673 (1616A.D.). Mata Prasad Gupta’s edition is much better but many textual errors as well as the mistakes of the interpretations in modern Hindi commentary are found in this edition also. Although Candayan needs reediting, M.P. Gupta’s edition is the most useful edition available to us until now. Recently a text in Urdu has been published by Muhammad Ansarullah6 but this is not a critical edition at all. Ansarullah has merely produced a text on the basis of P. L Gupta’s and M. P. Gupta’s editions. However, his introduction is useful in that he has given information on the contri- butions of Urdu scholars to the studies of Candayan, whereas Hindi scholars have generally ignored their contributions. Jamil Jalvi has pulished another text in Pakistan but I have not been able to obtain a copy as yet. In recent years our knowledge of Candayan has much improved but more work about its content and form, such as the Sufi elements in the text and the language, still needs to be done. 1.

MAULANA DAUD AND HIS CANDAYAN 131 Chishti sect of Sufis who was born probably in A.H. 860 (1456 A.D.) in Rudauli in the Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh near Lakhnau( Luc- know)7. He died in A.H. 944 (1537 A.D.) in Gangoh in the Saharanpur disrtrict of U.P. It is mentioned in his letters that Shaikh Abdul Quddus Gangohi lectured on Candayan with the same intensity as when he lec- tured on the works of Ibnul Arabi, Fakhruddin Iraqi and Shaikh Sa’di8. Shaikh Quddus, in a letter to Shaikh Jalal Thaneshwari, on the Wahdat ul Wuzud, quoted a doha from the Candayan to prove that although lovers sought to meet their beloved they were always thwarted. The doha is immediately followed from a verse from the Quran in which Moses urged God to reveal Himself but his request was rejected on the grounds that it was impossible for Moses to see his creator9. In another letter to Shaikhh Muhammad about the spiritual ambitions of holy men, Abdul Quddus argued using a doha from Candayan for emphasis that only the spiritually adventurous were the really men10. In his youth Abdul Quddus embarked upon a Persian translation of the Candayan of Maulana Daud. A considerable portion of the transla- tion had already been made but the manuscript was destroyed in the bat- tle between Bahlul Lod i (1450-1488A.D.) and Husain Shah Sharqi (1458-1505 A.D.)11. However, a few lines of Candayan are preserved in Quddus Gangohi’s Lataif: birikh ãca pharu laga akasa hath ca®hai kai nahâasa kahu jogit ko báh pasarai rati divasa rakhahi rakhavara nainahu dekhai jai so mara These lines appear as 2,3,4, in the verse fifty seven in Mata Prasad Gupta edition. The Persian translation of the text that Quddus includes in Lataif is: 7 For details see footnote 1. 8 ATHAR ABBAS RIZVI, A history of Sufism in India, Munshi Ram and Manohar Lal, New Delhi, 1978, p. 365. 9 Ibid 365. 10 binu kariya mori ∂olai nava ∞∞nigun kariya, gara kant naava Candayan M.P. Gupta op. cit. verse 53/3 The meaning of the verse is different from the meaning quoted by Atahar Abbas Rizvi. The actual meaning of the text is “Without. the boatman my body (heart) is shaking. The boatman is without the rope (nigun) . The cruel lover can not come.” 11 Simon DIGBY, op. cit. p. 55 (footnote 1). 132 S.M. PANDEY shajar-i buland ast thamar dar suma qatt’-i ummid ast bar an dast-i- ma zahra ki ra dast- farazi kunad shakh-i falak dast-i ki bazi kunad roz u shab gashta nigahban -i base kushta shavad chun ki ba binad kase12 “A lofty tree whose fruit is up in the sky there is no hope of reaching it with the hand. O Yogi, tell me who has the power to stretch up his arm to pass on to touch the branches of the tree? Day and night there are many guards and he who with his eyes looks up will be killed.” In these verses Canda’s body has been compared to a tree; her breasts are fruit, her arms are branches of that tree; her long hair is the serpents who can kill any non- lovers.

  • Boctor of $F)Ilos(Op})P I Jn M I I
    SUFI THOUGHT OF MUHIBBULLAH ALLAHABADI Abstract Thesis SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of $f)ilos(op})p I Jn M I I MOHD. JAVED ANS^J. t^ Under the Supervision of Prof. MUHAMMAD YASIN MAZHAR SIDDiQUi DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2006 Abstract The seventeenth Century of Christian era occupies a unique place in the history of Indian mystical thought. It saw the two metaphysical concepts Wahdat-al Wujud (Unity of Being) and Wahdat-al Shuhud (Unity of manifestation) in the realm of Muslim theosophy and his conflict expressed itself in the formation of many religious groups, Zawiyas and Sufi orders on mystical and theosophical themes, brochures, treatises, poems, letters and general casuistically literature. The supporters of these two schools of thought were drawn from different strata of society. Sheikh Muhibbullah of Allahabad, Miyan Mir, Dara Shikoh, and Sarmad belonged to the Wahdat-al Wujud school of thought; Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi, Khawaja Muhammad Masum and Gulam Yahya belonged to the other school. Shaikh Abdul Haqq Muhaddith and Shaikh WalliuUah, both of Delhi sought to steer a middle course and strove to reconcile the conflicting opinions of the two schools. Shaikh Muhibbullah of Allahabad stands head and shoulder above all the persons who wrote in favour of Wahdat-al Wujud during this period. His coherent and systematic exposition of the intricate ideas of Wahdat- al Wujud won for him the appellation of Ibn-i-Arabi Thani (the second Ibn-i Arabi). Shaikh Muhibbullah AUahabadi was a prolific writer and a Sufi of high rapture of the 17* century.

  • Missing Lawyer at Risk of Torture
    Further information on UA: 248/17 Index: ASA 20/8191/2018 India Date: 10 April 2018 URGENT ACTION DALIT RIGHTS ACTIVIST STILL DETAINED WITHOUT CHARGE Chandrashekhar Azad ‘Ravan’, a prominent Dalit rights activist, has been held in administrative detention since 3 November 2017. His current term of detention expires in May 2018. However, under the National Security Act, he is at risk of being detained for up to 12 months without charge or trial. Chandrashekhar Azad has been held in administrative detention, without charge or trial, for the past six months. His current term of administrative detention was ordered by a non-judicial Advisory Board that submitted a report to the Uttar Pradesh authorities stating that Chandrashekhar Azad should be detained for six months, with effect from 2 November 2017. On 3 November 2017, Chandrashekhar Azad, the founder of the Dalit rights organisation “Bhim Army”, was arrested and placed under administrative detention under the National Security Act (NSA) on the order of the District Magistrate of Saharanpur. The National Security Act (NSA) permits administrative detention for up to 12 months on loosely defined grounds of national security and maintenance of public order. It is a repressive law that has been used to target human rights defenders in India. Hearings pertaining to Chandrashekhar Azad’s administrative detention are currently underway before the relevant non-judicial Advisory Board. According to his lawyer, the state government remains adamant that Chandrashekhar Azad must be detained for up to six more months after his current term expires in May 2018. The day before he was arrested under the NSA, Chandrashekhar Azad had been granted bail by the Allahabad High Court in relation to his arrest on 8 June 2017.

  • Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
    Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).
