(Preacher of Islam Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Kaleem Siddiqui, Phalat)
Hazrat Maulana is the great preacher of Islam as has entered around five hundred thousand people into Islam. He is writer of a precious book “Naseem e Hidayat Key Jhonkey”
Sheikh accepted oath of allegiance from him, trained him for just seventeen days and rewarded him with his successorship. He arranged a gathering of all his followers and announced the deputyship and permission granted to Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria Multani رحمتہ اللہ علیہ, and ordered him to spread the blessing to people of Multan. Satan sewed the hate in hearts of some followers against Sheikh even some got jealous with Sheikh and some fell in evil presumption against their saint Sheikh Shahab Uddin Suharwardi رحمتہ اللہ علیہ , as they opined that Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria Multani رحمتہ اللہ علیہ has been rewarded with deputyship only due his close relation with Sheikh Shahab Uddin Suharwardi رحمتہ اللہ علیہ and on other hand, as per those people, they were serving Sheikh for several years but Sheikh did not heed to them.
Sheikh Shahab Uddin Suharwardi رحمتہ اللہ علیہ learnt about this presumption among his followers through spiritual knowledge. He placed a rider to bring back Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria رحمتہ اللہ علیہ. Sheikh Baha Uddin رحمتہ اللہ علیہ got feared whether he committed a mistake when he got this message. When he got back, Sheikh Shahab Uddin رحمتہ اللہ علیہ ordered him to stay in shrine and ordered his another servant to bring hundred chicks and hundred knives. After getting both these things, Sheikh handed over one chick and one knife each to his follower and ordered to come out the shrine slaughter the chick where nobody could see them. Every follower brought the chick and knife out of shrine and slaughtered it. Someone slaughter is behind the wall, while someone behind the tree. Some did it in close door while someone did it in the dark.
Sheikh asked whether Baha Uddin Zikaria came. Followers replied as he did not come and added that even he did not bother to comply a little order by Sheikh. Sheikh smiled while hearing it. After passing much time, Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria رحمتہ اللہ علیہ came in the evening in the looking guilty and crying, holding live chick and knife in his hands. Sheikh asked him in presence of all his followers that why didn’t he slaughter the chick and whether he really knows how to slaughter. Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria رحمتہ اللہ علیہ replied with guilt that he knew the process of slaughtering but I could not meet your condition of finding a place where nobody could see me. Sheikh asked him while emphasizing on place that whether he really did not find a place where nobody could see him. The obedient follower submitted as, O spiritual mentor! I could not find a place where nobody could see me; wherever I went and tried to slaughter the chick I realized that Allah Kareem is watching me.
Listening to the reply from Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria رحمتہ اللہ علیہ all other inept followers opened their eyes and realized the purpose of all hard doing and benedictions was to reach such peak of faith. (Worship Allah as if you are watching Him, however you cannot look at Him but even He looks at you). And Sheikh Baha Uddin Zikaria رحمتہ اللہ علیہ got this successful position among all of us.
This spiritual state of faith realizing that I am always being watched by Allah no matter wherever I am is such a precious tip that prevents man to commit sins in open and loneness and double the taste of obedience and worship. Alas, the thick layers of curtains of negligence hinder us to realize this fact that Lord of The lords, Commander of the Judgement Day, and The Great Auditor Allah is watching us in our each moment. May Allah Almighty reward us with this valuable stage of faith to fix all weakness in our life. Amen.
