Bismil Laahir Rahman nir Raheem

An Unforgettable and Majestic Personality

Undoubtedly Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam (Allaah have mercy on him) is a

celebrated personality. He was two to three years older than me in his worldly
age. If you look at his status, in relation to his name, work, personality and
attributes than even the highest are not equal to him. Allaah Kareem had
bestowed him immensely. He was the pride and trust of us all.

I studied the Holy Quraan in the same masjid where he memorized the Holy
Quraan in the early period of his life. Hazrat Haafiz Karam Ellaahi Saahib was the
teacher of all the children and elders in our families in the city of Khem Karan. My
respected father Hakeem Muhammad Husaien Marhoom had also read the Holy
Quraan from him. And the respected father of Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam Haaji
Karam Ellaahi Saahib had also received the knowledge of the holy Quraan from

him. Then our time came. Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam was such an intelligent and
competent child that by the teachers order, rather than permission, he would
often teach us.

There was a large Muslim population in Khem Karan with a majority of them
Shaiekh brothers. Navaan Kot was the popular area in this city, where there was a
central masjid. Amongst the organizers of this masjid, prominent personalities
included: the respected father of Hazrat Khatee- e-Azam, Haaji Karam Ellaahi
Saahib, and Haaji Jamaal-ud-deen Saahib. This masjid was also known as
Bambalaan Waali Masjid and its organization was called Anjuman-e-Haanafiyah
Islaamiyah. My respected father was the president of this masjid. Various
gatherings were organized there as well as the congregation for the annual Jashne-Eid Meelaad-un-Nabee (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) which was held on the
ground of a nearby school. So enlightening to the faith and spiritually beneficial
these gatherings were! Everyone would enthusiastically display their devotion,
love and desire.

Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam was still young of age but the Almighty Allaah had
blessed him greatly with clear beauty and grace. Fair and rosy complexion with
luminance that is there was a great radiance. With beautiful features he also
received a great share from the Lahan-e-Daawoodi (Voice of Hazrat Daawood
(Salutation on him)). He was filled with the possession of a very pleasant voice
and gracefully excellent interpretation. Whilst reading Qiraat or naat it was as if
he had cast some magic, everyone would be enthralled. His presence had become

a necessity in every congregation and gatherings were held almost every day.
Even at such a very young age he had become very popular.

Besides the annual gathering, there would sometimes be other naat readers
beside him. Amongst them was a young naat reader named Muhammad Yoosuf
Gujraati. According to Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam, in the art of naat reading I am
also his teacher to some extent. I have written to an extent because before
meeting Muhammad Yoosuf Saahib, Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam would also recite
naat shareef in a particularly lovely style. Hazrat might have taken his views only
as an opinion but besides this Hazrat considered him his teacher. This modesty
and humility of Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam was a greatness that was an undisputed
truth. Even as he shone like the sun in the skies of popularity he remembered
every single person and without hesitation would mention anyone who had
taught him anything, even from his childhood. Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam did not
make naat recitation his profession, as many people have now made it their habit.
He worked hard with his respected father and for his religious devotion and
spiritual harmony he would read naat.

In the era of youthfulness he associated with the elevated abode of Sharaqpur

Shareef. He was the favorite in the eyes of respected Hazrat Saani Saahib Sharqpur
Shareef. There was no insincerity or arrogance in him. He was good natured and
honest. His beard had not grown and yet he would outshine in any gatherings he
attended. I can still recall the naat he would read in those early days. How many
tones and ways are his own inventions which are followed even now as though

he was also the leader of this art? After his religious education when he started the
series of debates and oration even then this jewel of beautiful recitation was most
prominent. I will surely say this about one naat shareef that only Hazrat Khateebe-Azam has the expertise to read it. It is very difficult to create its melody and to
read it eloquently. This naat is known as: Sweeter than honey is the name
Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). In each verse the four letters of
the name of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is mentioned. The
first verse is:
Meem Say Hayn Mahboob Woh Rabb Kay
Haa Say Haakim Ajam o Arab Kay
Dousree Meem Say Maalik Sab Kay
Daal Say Daataa Douno Jahaan Kay
Juud Hay Un Kaa Aam
Shehed Say Meethhaa Muhammad Naam

The last two verses of this naat shareef are to be read together with the opening
verse (i.e. Shehed Say Meetha Muhammad Naam) in one breath with passion.
Perhaps this ability was only in the persona of Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam because
hardly any naat reader could read it so well and which such great tune. Whenever
Hazrat read this naat a harmonious ambiance would pervade. The respected
Hazrat Saani Saahib would greatly desire to listen to Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam
read this Naat Shareef. Hazrat has also read a lot of prose by Alaa Hazrat Faazil-e-

Barelvi. He would read it with great comprehension and would also explain it
expertly to listeners. When he clarified the meanings of naat shareef verses then
the pleasure from listening to them would somehow increase. He had his own
style of reading Doyhay (couplets) and see harfee (tercet). How well he read the
detailed poetry of the complete creation of the Kurtaa (from cotton seed to
stitched shirt) and when he would recite the loree (naat shareef) written he wrote
then even the wind and atmosphere would feel joy. The people of Punjab would
especially request he read the lullaby.

He began oration at a young age and would explain matters in an exceptionally

superior way with great passion. Explaining his topics for hours without tiring
and with solid reasoning was his quality. Additionally from the start to the end he
would stay on topic and would not leave anyone thirsty for more meaning he
would fulfill the rights of that topic.

In those days most people were true believers, Sunni Hanaafi Muslims. In our
area only three people were Wahaabi (i.e. not the followers of the Imaam).
Furthermore only four to five were called Deobandis but they were in hiding
because they did not have the guts to say wrong and immoral things in front of
the public. A majority of the families in Khem Karan had great love and devotion
for the People of Allaah Aastaanah-e-Aaliyah. The elevated abode of Sharqpur,
Aastaanah-e -Aaliyah of Naqshbandiyah Karmuun Waalaa in the Ferozepur
district was established in Pakistan with the name of Hazrat Karaman wala near
Okara. These people were associated with Aastaanah-e-Aaliyah Alee pur Shareef.

Elections were held in 1964 and in their area a resident of Baaghbaan puurah
Lahore named Miyaan Iftikhaar-ud-deen was a candidate of Muslim League. It is
possible he had an association with the respected Hazrat Saani Saahib Sharqpuri
who was doing great services in the Pakistan Movement. He would say, That
person who cannot make Muslim League successful has nothing to do with us.
That person should not consider himself connected to the Aastaanah-e-Aaliyah
of Sharqpur Shareef. A similar statement was also spoken from Aastaanah-eAaliyah Aleepuur Shareef. Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam had the responsibility to
carry out the obligation of delivering the message of the respected Hazrat Saani
Saahib of Sharqpur Shareef to every corner. With him a few people also joined
this movement. In Masaajid, Madaarsis and gathering Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam
would present the accomplishment of beautiful eloquence and brilliant speech
and would also deliver this message. He had also composed very good slogans for
Pakistan and the Muslim League.I remember a huge gathering for the Muslim
league election campaign in which a very high stage was built. In this gathering
Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam read a Punjabi poem in relation to the Muslim League in
a very good voice. Everyone in the crowd began reading with him. The first verse
of it was something like this:

Charcha Huyaa Aeh Muslim League Daa

Wich Hindustaan Diyaan Galiyaan

I remember vividly the condition of the crowd and their level of zeal and fervor
was worth viewing. Other orators praised this poem highly in their speeches as
well as the way of Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azams reading.

In the central Masjid of Khem Karan in Nawacourt Shabeenah was held for only
one night in the sacred month of Ramadaan, in which the complete recitation of
Quraan Shareef was presented in the nawaafil. This incident occurred a couple of
years before the founding of Pakistan; I listened to the first ten parts in the
nawaafil then I could not stop the desire to sleep and so slept there for some time.
When I opened my eyes I realized the recitation of the last part was about to start.
I did my ablution and joined in it. Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam was doing Qiraat with
great eloquence as he presented the thirtieth part in two rakaat. The Masjid was
full during this time and later he did the duaa. It is very difficult to explain the
brilliance and blessing of the delightful experience.

Amongst the friends of the respected Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam was Muhammad

Aalam son of Jamaal-ud-deen (Puur Khaana) who died in 1994 in Sahiwaal.
Gracious Allaah grant salvation to him. He was an admirer and follower of Hazrat
and also an honest friend. He had promised me he would also write his views and
experiences with Hazrat but some negligence prevailed and I could not document
his statement. Therefore I do not know how many stories remained in his heart.

Before the establishment of Pakistan Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam came to Okara

and even after migration he chose that city whereas we chose Montgomery
(Sahiwaal). Along with the respected Hazrat Saani Saahib, Hazrat Khateeb-eAzam took part in the Pakistan Movement with complete passion and in August
1947 he remained fully active during the migration of immigrants and their
rehabilitation.

The respected Hazrat Saani Saahib Sharqpuri established a religious school

with the name of Jaami'ah Hazrat Miyaan Saahib in Sharqpur Shareef. By the
orders of respected Hazrat Saani Saahib Hazrat Khateeb -e-Azam would go to
friends for assistance and therefore often come again and again to Sahiwaal. In
Sahiwaal on the roundabout of Beree Waalaa, Masjid-e-Muhaajireen remained a
center of Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaaat. The residents of Sahiwaal asked Hazrat
Khateeb-e-Azam (who was at that time known as the Eloquent Speaker of
Punjab) to lead the Friday prayers there and also bless them with his
heartwarming speech. Hazrat accepted the request and started leading the Friday
prayers there. In the beginning Hazrat would come on Friday at around 11 or 12
am and would remain there until three oclock in the afternoon.

Within a few days after the Friday Masjid-e- Muhaajireen became popular near
and far and it starting looking like Eid. All the lanes and roads around the masjid
would be filled with the crowd and 40 - 50 tents were not enough. It was as if the
world had come over to hear the speech of Hazrat, not just the city. The masjid
would fill before the arrival of Hazrat and Hazrat had to spend the all of Friday

there. In the night also there would be gathering in one area or the other. This
kept happening not for a month or two but for many years, until the Deputy
Commissioner allotted a larger plot so that a bigger masjid could be build for the
people to pray in. In this new area Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam laid the foundation of
a new Madinah Masjid.

During this time in 1952 the Finality of the Prophet Movement began. Hazrat
Khateeb-e-Azam was the Chief of District in this movement. Nowhere in the
whole district would there be a gathering like the one in Masjid Muhaajireen. In
those days the speeches which were made by Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam against the
Mirzaaiyyat and the Dajaal Qaadiani. I wish those speeches were preserved. Due
to Hazrat every Muslim became a soldier filled with passion. Why would the ruler
accept this? They ordered his arrest but Hazrat did not give himself up
immediately. It was after th inauguration of a great gathering in Eidgah in Okara.
Along with Hazrat several other people also gave themselves up. The organizers
accepted Hazrats popularity and were surprised to see the passion of the people.

Many renowned Mullaas and leaders were released after they signed legal
documents for forgiveness. Two young sons of Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam died one
after the other but this did not bring any change in the steadfastness of Hazrat,
who refused to sign the legal document for forgiveness. Therefore he was kept
prisoner for ten months and released in the end. On the day of his release Hazrats
welcoming was worth seeing. In the form of a procession devotees came from
Sahiwaal to Okara. After the release Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam said in the Friday

gathering that in the prison he gathered all the explanation of Hazrat Moosaa
from the holy Quraan and has put them in order. At that time of affliction he did
not even have an index of the Holy Quran to find every reference of Hazrat
Moosaa (salutation on him) therefore he spent his days conducting his own
research and hard work. Not only this, he had also summarized some of the
footnotes of Masnavi by Maulana Ruum. The guards of the prison spoke of how
Hazrat remained busy in worshiping the whole night and in reading and writing
the whole day. For a long time in Masjid-e-Mahaajireen Hazrat kept explaining
the details and incidents of Hazrat Moosaa (Salutation on him) according to the
order of his efforts.

Nearly every day Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam had to go to one city or another to

speak. The series of his programs would continue in villages, towns and cities.
Once regarding the rakaat of taraweeh salaat the non-following Wahaabis sent a
challenge of Munaazarah (argumentation) to Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam which
Hazrat accepted without hesitation. The Wahaabi point of view of was that
[total] Taraweeh rakaat are eight while the Ahle Sunnat view is they are twenty.
The schedule was decided, the day determined was also Friday, and the place
decided was Masjid e-Mahaajireen. The Wahaabi gave the name of eight of their
scholars while Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam was by himself. Before the lecture of
Friday it was announced that after the Salaat-o-Salaam Munazarah with take
place according to the rules. After the salaat the last duaa, two people came and
left saying they will come back and bring the rest of their people in ten to fifteen
minutes. But Hazrat waited until Asr Salaat yet no one came. Even those two

people did not come back. The next Friday Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam also
explained the same issue with evidences. He was an excellent example of genuine
speaking and steadfastness.

The construction of Sahiwaals Madinah Masjid had not even start when the
people of Karachi called Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam. When Hazrat announced he is
leaving for Karachi people started crying. The scene on the day Hazrat had to
depart was unforgettable as people lay on the train tracks [saying] we will not let
go. Gracious Allaah had to also take a lot of work from Hazrat in Karachi for
Maslak-e-Haqq (The True Path). In Karachi the gatherings of Masjid Noor were
like Masjid-e-Mahaajireen. After Hazrat the same kind of Friday gathering was
never witnessed again. It is said and heard about other people that one of their
speeches is very good and successful but Hazrat Khateeb-e-Azam Pakistan is so
famous and respected that every one of his speeches and every one of his
gatherings would be successful and he would be listened to again and again.

In his private life he was also very simple and pious. Amongst the friends and
family his personality was sacred, respected and popular. He was very good
natured and cordial. In relation to his qualities and virtues he was without any
doubt impossible to ignore and In Shaa Allaah will remain impossible to ignore.
May Gracious Allaah elevate his status. His worthy son is indeed his true heir and
has kept the mission of his respected father in the same way. May Allaah grant the
Light of Maslaak and Deen on this family and let there be light in every direction.
