MORE ABOUT KHWAJA QAMRUDDIN SIALWI

During the student years, signs of aptitude and a genius could be seen in the personality of Khawaja Qamar al-Din. Allah (most high) granted him such an ability and intellect that he would be able to solve difficult issues with much ease. The memory was so strong that whatever he learnt once was never forgotten. He was a mountain of piety and steadfastness, unyielding and resolute amidst any esoteric passion or exoteric adverse circumstances. His eyes and gaze always remained modestly low looking at the ground before him. The passion for passing on the message of truth was embedded within him from a young age. He would go to every house and encourage people to offer their prayers and whoever would be lazy in performing the prayer, he would show his disappointment.




The number of those associated with the Astana ‘aliya of Siyal Sharif is countless and are spread throughout the country of Pakistan. Offering guidance in religious and worldly affairs was Khawaja Qamar al-Din’s duty. Consider for yourself, to whom different people from different tribes and areas would come daily, what would be the state of his busy schedules. It was Khawaja Qamar al-Din’s duty to have arrangements in place for their food and drink and a place to stay. Furthermore, various forms of supererogatory worship and daily waza’if were part of his norm. Whenever, he would begin to perform his salat, that scene was worth seeing. A state of istighraq and deep involvement would be surrounding him. When he would stand it was awe-inspiring, when he would go into ruku‘ it was graceful and when he would prostrate it would seem as if he would not get up due to the pleasure he was feeling in prostrating to his Lord. Even when he would sit in tashah-hud position it was unique. My sinful eyes have not seen anyone perform salat in this manner. His wazifa was less by means of a tasbih as he was always absorbed in the dhikr of Allah (most high) with his heart and soul. And this state was not only during salat but remained at all times.
