Teachers
The names of Sheikh Abu al-Abbas Ashqaqi, Sheikh Abu Jafar Muhammad bin Al-Masbah al-Sayed Lani, Sheikh Abu al-Qasim bin Al-Karim bin Huwazin al-Qashiri, Sheikh Abu al-Qasim bin Ali bin Abdullah al-Garghani, Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ali al-Ma’roof Dastani Bastami, Abu Saeed Fazlullah bin Muhammad Mahini and Abu Ahmad Muzaffar bin Ahmad bin Hamdan are among your teachers.
Sheikh Abu al-Abbas Ashgaqi
Hazrat Ali Hajwayri says about Shaykh Abu al-Abbas Ishqaqi that he was an imam in the knowledge of principles and branches, and a saint of the highest rank among the people of Sufism. I loved you very much and you were also very kind to me. Ever since I regained consciousness, I haven't seen a man like you. I have not seen anyone who respects the law more than you. Often said: Illness does not exist. That is, I want such a thing that does not exist. This is what Umar Farooq said. He once picked a straw and said: I wish my mother had not given birth to me. O that I were this straw. Once I came to Sheikh Ashqaqi and he was studying: God's mercy is like a servant's servant. (75:16)۔ that is “Allah gives an example, there is a slave who belongs to another and has no authority over anything”. Reading it again and again and crying, until you passed out. And I thought that he had left the world. I said, O Sheikh! What is this condition? He said that it has been eleven years, this is my word, I could not pass beyond that.
Sheikh Abu Jafar Muhammad bin Al-Masbah Al-Sayed Lani
Sheikh Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Al-Masbah Al-Sayyid Lani says that he was one of the chief commentators among the later Sufis. Knowledge was actually very eloquent. Hussain bin Mansoor was inclined towards Sufism. I have read some of your works from him.
Sheikh Abu al-Qasim bin Ali bin Abdullah al-Garghani
Abu al-Qasim bin Ali bin Abdullah writes about Al-Garghani that he was outstanding in his time. All Taliban right of time had faith in you. He was very skilled in science and arts. Every disciple of yours was adorned with jewels of knowledge. I was treated with great respect. And listened very attentively, even though I was a teenager compared to you. One day I was sitting in your service when the thought came to my heart that you treat me with such humility and humility. Without me saying anything, you said: O friend of my father! Know well that my humility and reluctance is not for you, this humility of mine is for the changer of circumstances and it is common to all Taliban Haqq. Remember that man can never be freed from the bondage of thoughts. It is mandatory to worship him. Work as a servant to God. Get rid of all other relationships except this one relationship. Your books are difficult.
Sheikh Abu al-Qasim bin Huwazin al-Qashiri
Abu al-Qasim bin Huwazin al-Qashiri writes in the circumstances that he was a rare and high-ranking elder in his time. Your writings in every art are researched and excellent. You were completely detached from useless discussions and nonsense. There were debates in Sofia about Hussain bin Mansoor. To one group he was rejected and to another he was popular. He used to say that if Mansoor Arbab was one of forgiveness and truth, then nothing could separate him from God, and if he was rejected by God, then none of the creatures could make him acceptable in God's presence. We refer to it as God. He said that the Sufi parable is the cause of al-Barsaam, the first is delusion and the last is silence. That is, to keep describing the idea like a madman, and the end of it is silence. And when a man reaches the level of submission, he becomes dumb.
Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ali known as Dastani Bastami
Regarding his teacher, Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ali al-Ma'roof Dastani Bastami, he says that he was a scholar of all sciences and one of the people of Hashmat. He was very kind. Your words are polite and gestures are subtle. I read his book. Meanings of Infas. A few parts of it have been heard from him. Shaykh Sohalki narrates that once a locust came to Bastam. All the trees and fields turned black because of his sitting. People made a lot of noise. Sheikh asked, what are these people doing? I said that locusts have come and people are very sad. The Sheikh got up and went to the room and turned his face towards the sky. At that time the locust flew and till Asr prayer, not a single locust was seen anywhere and not even a trace of any crop was lost.
Abu Saeed Fazlullah bin Muhammad Mahini
Abu Saeed in the mention of Fazlullah bin Muhammad Mahini writes that he was the king of the beauty of the Tariqa and the master of time and all the people of the time were his followers. He received his education initially from Abu Ali Zahid in Sarkhas. He used to take lessons for three days in one day and engage in the worship of Allah Ta'ala for three days. You did austerity and mujahidah continuously. Even Allah raised you to a higher position. He lived a very luxurious life. Shaykh Abu Muslim Farsi told me that my dowdi was very dirty. When he came to you, you were enthroned in a very rich dress and covered with an Egyptian robe. Seeing this, I thought in my heart that it is a strange thing to claim poverty along with this thatth. Look at me as I claim poverty in this twilight. But without taking any of my words, he said, "In which diwan have you written these things?" I was very ashamed of it in my heart. You said that; Sufism is the name of placing one's heart with Allah.
Once you were going to Tus from Nishapur. There is a cold valley on the way. You were feeling cold in your feet. The dervish who was with him narrates that the thought occurred to me to cut two pieces of my handkerchief and wrap them on your feet. But then I thought that my handkerchief is so good why waste it. But I didn't say anything. When we reached Tus, we were sitting in the assembly and I asked you a question. O Sheikh Haqqani! What is the difference between inspiration and inspiration? He said that inspiration is the one who created the idea in your heart to wrap your handkerchief around the feet of Abu Saeed so that his feet do not get cold and the evil whisper was the one that prevented you from doing so.
Abu Ahmad Muzaffar bin Ahmad bin Hamdan
Abu Ahmad writes in the circumstances of Muzaffar bin Ahmad bin Hamdan that he was the leader of the saints and the guide of the Sufis. Allah Ta'ala revealed the secret to you on the Masnad of the state and placed the crown of dignity on your head. I myself heard from them that what other people found after cutting the deserts and forests, Allah the Exalted gave me those things in the Musnad and the upper house. Your word on annihilation and survival is very good. I came to you from Karman one day. My clothes were strewn around the path. You said to me, say, Abul Hasan, what is your intention? I said that my heart wants to hear. You managed at the same time and called Qawwals, it was the time of boyhood. He was indecisive even after hearing the words. After some interval, when my dominance and enthusiasm decreased a little, he asked, "Say, what happened to this hearing?" I submitted. O Sheikh! I am very happy. He said that one day it will happen to you that this hearing and the voice of the crow will become the same for you. There is power in hearing until observation is achieved. Look, don't get used to it so that it becomes a part of your nature. If it does, it will stay here.
Tariqa teaching
In the Tariqat, your Sheikh is Abul Fazl Muhammad bin Hasan Khatli. While recording their situation, he says that my example in Tariqat is with you, may Allah have mercy on him. He was a scholar of Tafsir, Hadith and Sufism. In Sufism you were on the religion of Hazrat Junaid. He was a follower of Hazrat Sheikh Hazrami and a companion of Hazrat Sarwani. For sixty years, he was lost from the creatures and lived in a corner in the mountains. Most of the stay was at Jabal Lagam. I have never seen a person more awesome than you. Always stay away from the clothes of Sufis. Once I was pouring water on your hands to perform ablution, when I thought in my heart that I am a free man, why should I enslave those feet, what is written in fate will surely be fulfilled. He said, "Son, the idea has arisen in your heart. I know it. Every action has a cause and a means." This service and employment becomes the cause of a man's greatness. It is right that if God Almighty wills, He crowns a soldier.
On the day you died, you were in Bait al-Jin, a mountain village between Baniyan and Damascus, and your head was in my lap. My heart was deeply troubled and distressed, as it should have been at the thought of parting from such a benefactor and friend. You said, son! I describe the problem of belief. If you correct yourself accordingly, all this pain in your heart will be removed. Remember that Allah, the Exalted and Exalted, does not predispose Allah to anything, He creates all situations keeping in mind their good fortune. It is necessary for you not to dispute with God in what He does and what He does. Don't be sad about it. You had just said so much that you surrendered your life to God. .
You for Kasab Rohani (Hazrat Ali Hajveri ) He traveled to Syria, Iraq, Persia, Qahistan, Azerbaijan, Tabaristan, Khuzestan, Kerman, Khorasan, Wara-ul-Nahr and Turkestan etc. Met many people in these countries and enjoyed their company. The number of Mashaikhs you met in Khorasan alone is three hundred. He says about them that I have seen three hundred persons in Khorasan such that only one of them is enough for the whole world.

Two important events
Narrating an incident of his time of searching, he says that once I faced a problem. I did a lot of struggle to solve it. But this problem was not solved. Even before this I had a problem and to solve it I took the vicinity of the grave of Hazrat Sheikh Abu Yazid and meditated on it and my problem was solved there. Now I did it again. Adjacent to them for three months (Neighbor) It was made. He bathed thrice every day. And performed ablution thirty times. But my problem was not solved. Eventually I decided to go to Khorasan and on the way stayed overnight at a monastery. There was also a community of Sufis. I had a pile of thick rough tots at that time. And that's what I was wearing. A scepter and a javelin in hand (Returned) was I didn't have any equipment other than that. These Sufis looked at me with great contempt. And they said to each other in their own way, 'This is not one of us.' And they were true in what they said, because I was not actually one of them. I had reached them as a mere traveler to spend the night. Otherwise I was not concerned with methods like them. They made me sit in a room below the monastery. And after placing a dry bread and that too in front of me, he went upstairs to eat. I could smell the food they were eating themselves. And with that, he used to talk to me in a sarcastic manner from the rooftop. When they finished eating, they sat down with melons. And the shells kept throwing at me. It seemed that the happiness of his nature was at that moment suspended at my insult. I was saying to God in my heart, Oh God, if I had not been wearing the clothes of your friends, I would surely have made them taste the fun of their antics. But since I was tolerating it as a temptation from God Almighty, I was happy the more they insulted and criticized me. Even by bearing the burden of this reproach, my difficulty for which I was bearing the hardships of the Mujahideen and this journey was solved there. And that's when I realized why the Mashaikhs allow the ignorant to live among them and why they bear their burden. Also, why some elders have taken the method of blame? The fact is that it sometimes solves problems that cannot be solved by other methods.
He narrates an incident from Iraq about himself that at one time during his stay in Iraq he became very bold in earning money and spending it. Anyone in need would turn to me and I did not want anyone to leave my door. So I would try to make ends meet, until I was deeply in debt and distressed by the situation. One of the elders of the end times wrote to me; Look son! Do not get away from God in this kind of preoccupation, this preoccupation is selfish. If you find someone's heart better than yours. So worry about it. Do not try to be the sponsor of all creatures. Because God Himself is sufficient for His servants. He says that I got peace of mind from this advice. And I learned that staying away from creatures is the path to health and safety.
Man should not look at himself so that no one else will look at him. And it is the fact that a man reveals himself to be something important and great, otherwise the world considers him as nothing. She just gets her work out of it.
your way
According to you, Sufi is derived from Safa. And the essence of Safa is to separate the heart from non-Allah and connect it with Allah by emptying the world of traitors. As if it means taking the path of serving God with sincerity and true love. Not to adopt any particular mode. You say; That the student should be a follower of Sharia and knowledge in all circumstances. Because the Sultan of Knowledge is superior to the Sultan of Hala and is superior to him. Therefore, he continued to travel for forty years, but he never offered namaz in congregation. And he stayed in a town for every Friday prayer. They should live like normal people. Like Shaykh Abul Fazl Muhammad bin Khatli, may God bless him and grant him peace, he was always wary of the outward customs and manners of the Sufis. On the contrary, you had a deep hatred for it and used to call these things as hypocrisy, hypocrisy and iniquity.
marriage
Regarding marriage, he said that marriage is a condition for a person who wants to live in creation. And if there is a fear of her falling into adultery without marriage, then marriage is obligatory for her. But discrete for one who is isolated from creation ( A virgin) It is good to live so that no good fortune is disturbed because of it and they can also serve Allah with equality. Since you spent most of your life traveling and travelling. That is why you are not married but celibate(A virgin ) Lived the life of But in relation to the fatal dangers of celibacy, he says that Allah, the Exalted, ordained marriage for eleven years (marriage) Saved from disaster. But the destiny came and I fell in love with the heart and soul of a fairy. And for one year I was so engrossed in it that my religion was almost destroyed. But Allah, the Exalted, with His perfect pleasure and kindness, blessed my heart with innocence and purity and with His mercy saved me from this calamity.
Arrival and stay in Lahore
He came to Lahore in the time of Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi's son Nasiruddin from 1030 to 1040 AD to propagate the religion of God by the order of his mentor. Before you, your elder brother Hussain Zanjani was employed in this service. Therefore, when you were ordered to come to Lahore, you say that I asked the Sheikh that Hussain Zanjani is there, what is my need? But the Sheikh said, "No, you go." He says that I reached Lahore at night and in the morning Hussain Zanjani's funeral was brought out of the city.
He also traveled to other parts of the Indian subcontinent in connection with the propagation of religion. So you Kashf al-Mahjub. In the circumstances of Hazrat Abu Halim Habib bin Aslam Ra'i, he writes that there are many other traditions of Shaykh Rahmatullah Alaihi. I leave them due to time constraints and I am facing a serious problem that my books are in Ghazni and I am in Bhanwar, a village in the country of India which is situated in the vicinity of Multan. And completely caught in the opposite sex.
Wasal
Historians differ about his Wasal Sharif. So, in Safinat al-Awlia, Dar Shikoh mentions Wasal Bakmal in 454 AH or 464 AH. Ghulam Sarwar Lahori in Khazainat-ul-Awliya wrote that the date was 464 AH or 466 AH. According to A. R. Niklas, the translator of Kashf al-Mahjub, Wasal was complete in 465 AH 469 happened to

The magic of hearts
Kitab al-Bayan Lahl al-Ayan
He was also interested in poetry and had a diwan. Mentioning this in Kashf Al-Mahjub, you have written that some people publish the works of others by attributing their name to them. So a person asked me to see my book of poems and then did not return it. And from the beginning of it, he removed my name and presented it in his own name. Since it was this one copy of the Dewan that he took. So I couldn't do anything and it ruined my hard work.
So did another person with my second book. Minhajuddin. What I had written on Sufism, asked me and erased my name from it and published it in public under my own name.
Ali Hajwayri and Iqbal
Allama Iqbal had immense devotion to him, Iqbal often visited his shrine for spiritual blessings. When Iqbal published his first collection of Persian poetry, Asrar-e-Khodi, he included a chapter in it called "Hakayat-e-Tanagare Az Maru Kahe Pish-e Hazrat Sayyed Makhdoom Ali Hajuwayri Rahmatullah Alaihi Amada Az Satam Ida Frayad Kurd" in it. Allama Iqbal paid tribute to him in this poem and said that Hazrat Syed Ali Hajveri is the leader of the Ummah.’ His shrine is like a shrine for the great sage Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti. The land of Punjab came alive with your tail’ Our morning was illuminated by your sunshine (Islam spread in the subcontinent thanks to you). With your blessings, the era that existed in the Islamic world during the era of Hazrat Umar (RA) was revived and with his teachings, the religion of truth became popular.
