April 2025-Annual Speech 2025.

(In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) Peace be upon you all.

I request all of you, ladies and gentlemen ... to stand up, and recite   along with me and also recite Durood Shareef (Salutations to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH))

[The thousands of participants who were present at the gathering complied, and after Tasmia (Bismillah - In the Name of God), offered their salutations to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)]

At the first, before everything else, God Almighty, with His Noor* illuminated the soul of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) –The first Noor (Noor-e-Awwal) and the seal of the Prophets (PBUH) – Bow down your heads, and respectfully listen to the verse from the Holy Quran, in which God Almighty has praised His beloved Prophet (PBUH).

(In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)

“Lo! God and His angles shower blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH). O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation”. (Quran. 33:56)

God Almighty states, O Believers! Those who place their belief in me. O all those people, angels, jinn heavens, earths, and mountains! Those who place their trust in Me, there is a person of Mine, My beloved. Send your salutations upon him. On whom? On Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

O Angels! All the particles of this universe! Offer salutations to My Prophet. O people (believers)! Your conscience is enlightened by certitude. Listen! I have sent My friend amongst you, and conferred on him the treasures of My mercy. O you people whose heart flourishes with insight, faith, certitude, passion, sacrifice, generosity, fasting, orphans and the needy.ان الصلوٰۃ تنھی عن الفحشآء والمنکر (Indeed! Prayers stop immoral behaviour and wrongdoing). What will happen if you establish prayer? Noor will spread; light will spread. Now, all of you please sit down and listen to the law.

بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم 

(In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)

قل ہو اللہ احد۔ ” God states, O My loved! My Prophet! My Messenger! Announce that your Lord states that God is Wahid (One). Whatever is present other than God is not احد, they are all dual. They will have a mother and a father; there will be a male and a female. God is Wahid. Wahid is an Arabic word. In each of the two hundred languages, there are different words for Wahid. However, what is its meaning?

[The participants replied in a unified voice: “The meaning is the same,”]

Are creatures Wahid? Is an ant Wahid? Is the sky Wahid? Are the stars Wahid? Are you yourself Wahid?

[The participants replied to all the questions: “No”]

Can you tell me how you are dual? Every individual is dual. Focus your minds. All of you who are sitting here, and all of those who are listening to me from around the world, be they of any class or creed, Wahid is only God. Creatures are not Wahid. For instance, I have a son and a daughter. They both got married. God granted them children. Can a child be born through a father or a mother alone? Can a mother give birth to a child without a husband? God has all power to do what He wills – the example of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) is before us. God is Ahad, He is the Creator, the Lord of all worlds – He confers and denies respect upon whosoever He pleases. He gives life to whosoever He wishes, and grants death to whosoever He wants.

We pray abundantly that God may grant us long lives. Do you not see the state of an individual at sixty or seventy years? Are you blessing or cursing them? What is this life that you are requesting to be extended? Where have you come here from? You have been banished from paradise. Due to disobedience, the gates of paradise closed upon you. God said, Get out of here! You have been hit by humiliation, poverty, hardship, disease, and deceit.

Everyone says, “May God grant you a long life.” Which means may God increase your time in jail, your captivity. The longer one’s life, the longer their imprisonment.

You are ousted from paradise. “Leave paradise.” Now, humiliation, poverty, confinement, disease, worry, and illusion are upon you. Why? There are millions and billions of trees in paradise. Those who have witnessed paradise tell us that out of the millions of trees there is one specific tree….What is this tree? It is a chameleon. What do I mean by chameleon?

[The participants replied: “It changes colours.”]

It changes colours. In one moment, it is red, and then in the next it is green. Alright? There is a tree, and it changes colours. God stated, “Do not approach it. If you do, you will be reprimanded.” When Prophet Adam (PBUH) approached this tree, God commanded, Descend! Leave paradise.

Listen to this carefully. I am at the very end of my life. Remember what I am saying, write it down, type it, there may be no one else who will tell you this. The environment, blessings, trees, swings, the rooms for relaxation and luxury, the exemplary environment in paradise...What is not there in paradise? What is it that is in our food? Dukhan – salt. It is not actually salt; we have named it salt due to its taste in our food. God Almighty ordained Dukhan, to enter either willingly or by force.

“Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke (Dukhan), and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient.” (Quran, 41:11)

Dukhan has been translated as smoke, however, it is not smoke. “O Dukhan, O Carbon Enter into the creatures.” I am explaining again that Dukhan is not smoke.  Dukhan replied, “I am obedient and compliant to you. I will not disobey your commands. Mr. Dukhan or Mr. Carbon entered the creatures. If we have to understand this as salt, however, it is not salt. Let’s take some salt crystals and keep it aside for a while. What will happen to these salt crystals and keep it aside for a while. What will happen to these salt crystals? The salt will become water. What does this imply? There is no increase and decrease (change) in the attributes of God.

“Praise the name of thy Lord the Most High, Who createth, then disposeth; Who measureth, then guideth.” (Quran, 87:1-1)

What was I saying?

[A woman from amongst the participants replied, “You were telling us that there is no increase or decrease in the attributes of God.”]

What is increase and decrease? What is increase and decrease?

[Participants: “Change, apparent and hidden or seen and the unseen.”]

I request you to think and answer my questions.

O Prophet (PBUH), may our lives be sacrificed for you. May we all be granted your intercession. God Almighty sent Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) into this world; He sent 124,000 Prophets (PBUT) for Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) praise and glorification. Prophet Moses (PBUH), Prophet Jesus (PBUH), Prophet Aaron (PBUH), Prophet Shuaib (PBUH), Prophet Elijah (PBUH), and Prophet Idris (PBUH) – by sending 124,000 Prophets (PBUH) God proclaimed His beloved.

Millions of years have passed, millions of years. . . The proclamation continued, “My Prophet will arrive, My friend will arrive, he will confirm the teachings of all the Prophets, and tell everyone the same one thing! واعتصمو . . Hold on firmly. بحبل اللہ … to the rope of God. What did you understand from this? The entire world, mankind, and jinn hold on to one rope firmly. ولا تفرقو! … Do not create division. The Holy Quran is one. God is one. The one who taught the Holy Quran is one. The one who understands the Holy Quran is one. Who is it…? God’s beloved, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Indeed, God and His angels, send their blessings upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). That is, in the heavens, on the Arsh (Divine Throne), on earth, in the Hijabat-e-Kibriya (one of the highest realms in the universe); there are many Hijabat, all the creatures that reside in them, offer Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) their?

[The participants replied in a unified voice: “Their salutations.”]

God states, “O you people! Those who place their faith in Me! Send your salutations to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) too.

God is our Creator. He is the one Who puts us to sleep and wakes us up too. لا تا خذہ سنتہ ولا نوم … God does not feel drowsy, nor does He sleep. God is free from hunger. لم یلد ولم یولد … He is neither a father nor a son to anyone. I am reciting short verse for you. You remember them, but you do not remember their translations. You have memorized the entire English dictionary, because you will earn money through this. You had provisions for the nine months when you were in the womb of your mother, and once you arrived into this world you drank your mother’s milk – how much did you pay for this? Your mother and father, nurtured you, taught you how to read and write, and saved you from evil – how much did you spend on the food you ate? God nurtured both you and your children into your adolescence. You then got them married. If you did not follow the rules of Shariah (Islamic Laws) your children became drug addicts or thieves. May God Almighty protect everyone’s children.

All my elders, friends, loved ones, brothers, and children are present here. God has granted us children. Now tell me, what is our role and interference in this? When do they get sick? When you dirty your towns, the entire world will be sick. Keep your homes clean, cleanliness is half of faith; you will remain healthy and so will your children. Age increases and decreases, there is a law for this too. All praises are reserved for God, Who is the Lord. By Lord we mean the One who provides us food, creates us, and makes us unseen every single day. If we did not become unseen for even a day. Could we have become two-days-old? And if the two days do not get hidden, there what? Where do they go?

[Participants: “To God.”]

The day that comes in, where does it come from?

[Participants: “From God.”]

Now, we became three-days-old. Where did the two days go?

[Participants: “To God.”]

You slept. As you were sleeping, you got out from inside you and stepped into the world of dreams. In the world of dreams, you wake up, fear, eat food, participate in marriages, you get married – and does bathing not become compulsory when you wake up? You see in your dream that an ant bit you, don’t you wake up screaming? What is the difference in wakeful and dream states? Don’t our deceased relatives ask us to perform virtuous rituals for them? Now tell me what is living and dying?

When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was travelling from Mecca to Medina, he read the Fateha, It’s Badar right? He said, “Peace be upon you. O inhabitants of the graves.” What does this mean? The companions of the Prophet (PBUH) asked him, “They are deceased, do they speak?” The Prophet (PBUH) replied, “They listen more than you, they reply too, but you don’t listen to them.”

When do we die? When we are born. ونفخت فیہ من روحی (And We breathed our soul into them). The soul wants you to offer gratitude to God, say prayers, bow in prayers with those who bow, worship with those who worship, adhere to timings, offer the five obligatory prayers, offer Zakat (obligatory charity), offer Sadaqa (voluntary charity), offer sacrifice, and if God blesses one and they have the finances, perform Hajj (Islamic Pilgrimage).

What is the introduction to God? God is Wahid, He is Sole. God does not eat, does not drink water, does not sleep. He does not get drowsy. God has no family. God is self-reliant, He is not dependent on anything, however, He feeds all. God Almighty is the Greatest, He has extended such a vast universe. There are seven earths and heavens, there is Arsh, Earth, Hijab-e-Azmat, Hijab-e-Mahmood, Sidrat-ul-Muntaha, Nasma Mutlaq, Nasma Mufrad, Nasma Murakkab, Noor Mutlaq, Noor Mufrad, Noor Murakkab, Tajalli, Tadalla. In Miraj (the ascension of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), God summoned Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) before Him. Does anyone remember the verse on Miraj?

“Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our  tokens! Lo!  He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.” (Quran, 17:1)

Recite the Verse from Surah An-Najm.

وھو با لا فق الا علیٰ  -- And Miraj begins from here.

ثم دنا فتدالیٰ – God met His beloved Prophet.

فکان قاب قوسین اوادنیٰ – There was a distance of two bows or even less, that is, the space was negated.

  .فاوحی الیٰ عبدہِ مآ اوحٰی – I spoke to My beloved Prophet.

ما کذب الفواد مارٰای , Who saw whom through what --? God’s beloved saw God. God saw His beloved. The heart does not falsify what it saw. Who saw whom? The heart saw the heart. God lives in the heart.

There are ways of seeing. The eye sees the apparent, sees dreams, sees the moon, sun, stars, earth, and water too. God forbid, if one has no eyes, where does a blind person see? Do you see water? All of you close your eyes. All of those who saw themselves drinking water on the screen of their mind, raise your hands.

[All of the participants raised their hands.]

What did it affirm?

[One of the participants replied, “It affirmed that the impression forms on the screen of the mind, and we see it.”]

Let someone else come forward, let a woman come forth. Listen to the question –We felt thirsty, we tolerated it, the thirst increased so much that our lips dried out ; after this our throat dried up. Why did it dry?

[The lady participant said: “The throat dried up because we felt the need of thirst inside.]

That is, the information from our inner projects that there is deficiency in water content in the body. Now it is mandatory upon you that you fill these proportions and what are these proportions? Now the amount of oxygen and hydrogen in your body have dipped, and to avoid this, you have to ensure oxygen and hydrogen reach every vein in your body. The combination of oxygen and hydrogen is water. You drank a glass of water. Your dried lips were healed, the hoarseness in your throat and anxiety went away. What happened here? Where did this start? Where did this get fulfilled? It did not end here, what happened next? One requirement was fulfilled? What is the meaning of fulfillment? The Holy Quran says, Pure and Exalted is The Being Who created everything – creatures, species, leaves, trees, water, stones and established fixed proportions in them.

Water, oxygen, hydrogen, rain, and wheat are all fixed proportions. The proportions of an apple are different to the proportions of a mosquito. The mosquitoes sting hence, it applies saliva on the wound it makes, and spreads it with its wings. The process of spreading closes the wound, else the blood would keep flowing out of you.

Most Exalted is God’s Name, He Who created creatures with fixed proportions. With the fixed proportions, the features of every creature changed. Everything has eyes and a mouth; everyone becomes a parent. Are the birds and elephants not mothers and fathers, male and female? Once, I was at home. A sparrow’s young one fell down, and the mother sparrow cried so much. We placed the young one back in the nest, and the sparrow was so happy. What is the difference between a mother amongst the birds and humans? Which creature is created without an egg, or without the involvement of parents? Don’t the pigeons sleep? Don’t they eat seeds? Don’t the pigeons get married? Don’t they have children? The penguins walk on two feet; I find them extremely beautiful when they walk. I am sure you find them beautiful too.

The sparrow has a brain. If it did not have a brain, how could it hold on to a small grain and reach its nest? Birds travel miles away and where do they return in the evening? Mankind goes to the office, where do they come back to in the evening? When the pigeons fly, pay attention to their feathers very carefully. They are in a hurry to get back to their children. They fly with great speed just like an airplane.

What is easier? A mother feeding her baby milk or a bird feeding its child? The mother bird leaves to have food, and fills her stomach. She fills millet inside a pouch in her gullet and brings it for her children. Now tell me, how does she feed them? She vomits inside her children. Who endures more hardship? A bird is a mother too. You all are my daughters, sisters, paternal and maternal grandmothers; you are mothers. Who has comfort in nurturing their children?

A tigress feeds milk for 40 to 45 to 50 days without eating food. Why? Because tigers eat the cubs. The tigress protects her cubs. Which other mother protects their children like this? Every bird builds their own nest, and leaves the nest for their children. Can you provide another example similar to this in this world? Our great grandfather built a house, how many generations lived in it? All of them lived in just one home. Whose status is greater – that of the bird or of mankind?

The sustenance that Almighty has provided us with is not for our sole possession. God Almighty has stated that He loves us more than seventy mothers. Read. بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الڑحیم  -- I begin in the name of God, with the faith that God loves more than seventy mothers. He is the Most Merciful and shows mercy, He is the Most Gracious, His attributes are mercy.

Hear my declaration. You all know that Silsila-e-Azeemia is a lineage of knowledge and spirituality. When my Murshad who gave me the title of chamaar* transcended, he gave me two pieces of advice. He said,

“Khwaja Sahib! From now on, you are neither a Syed, Ansari, Qureshi, or a Pathan. Your status is that of a chamaar.

I declare that my status is of a Chamaar, The skies pour down tasks on a Chamaar That are not compensated with wages. Upon the command of my Murshid, I will serve you all with my life, heart and money. May God bestow upon you the mind that thinks everything is in the Care of God.

I have written textbooks (on Islamic studies) for grade 1 to 8 and each one of them is being taught. There are different books for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and the Federal Board. The Federal Board has requested again that we write text books for 9th and 10th grade too and work is being done on this. Academic books are taught in Karachi University. In Bahauddin Zakariya University two books – ‘Ahsan-o-Tasawwuf’ and ‘Baran-e-Rehmat (PBUH)’ are being taught. They refer to ‘Ahsan-o-Tasawwuf’ as an encyclopedia.

I have an intention. I have written a book, ‘Roohani Haj’ (Spiritual Healing). I had a thought in my mind that this book has complete treatments and has been approved by the last prophet, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I have planned a programme. As diseases and hardships have increased, we will distribute this book free of cost. I appeal to all of you that this book should be distributed to every city and home. Through the ordinance and mercy of God, with the prayers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), my Murshad-e-Kareem’s permission, a thought came into my mind. I have three books in the service of mankind. ‘Roohani Ilaj’ has treatments for hundreds of diseases and it has the process of seeking permission too. You have seen the second book, ‘Rang-aur-Roshni se iIlaj’ (Treatment Through Colours and Lights) and the third book is, ‘Roohani Namaz’ (Spiritual Prayer). We have to distribute these three books to every home in Pakistan. Those who would like to serve me, and who wants to spread the mission of the Murshid of Silsila Azeemia, Abdal-e-Haq Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA), and follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with a true heart, take these books from here. Take the books by paying whatever you can, and those who cannot afford it, take it for free. Women are more active in this. Go from home to home and distribute them.

What are you in the Silsila? We are all servants of the Silsila. We all want to spread widely the mission of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Pakistan and the entire world. There are no large cities in this world where we do not have Muraqaba Halls. Russia, China, London, America, Middle East, Scandinavia, Pakistan – we have 27 meditation centers in the entire world. By the grace of God, we have created hospitals, free dispensaries, a school, and a college. We are in the process of creating a university.

Why am I doing all of this? You are all my spiritual children. I consider you all as my children with certainty. I pray for you, My Murshid, spent over 16 years with me, and taught me knowledge. It is my desire, and my request for you to pray.

Before my death, I have spread the name of my Murshid in the entire world. I declare with folded hands, that whosoever aligns themselves with the teachings of Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA), through my acquaintance, I will never let them drown. What is my mission? The knowledge that was left behind by the seal of the Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which was taught to Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA); I wish that my children do not waste this inheritance. Do not waste this inheritance. Do not waste this inheritance.

Hazrat Data Ganj Baksh (RA), Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA), Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Multani (RA), who are all these people? They are the hands of the divine. God Almighty states, “If My friend makes a promise in My name, I have made it mandatory that their work will be done.”

You have read the wonder-working of the friends of God. Why can’t other people perform these wonder-working?

I have written books. I have also written the wonder-working of Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA), which you have read. It is our task to take his mission forward. Whether people read or not, whether they take it or not, spread the books all over Pakistan. We will try to translate them into English; it is my intent to distribute them to every home in the west. It is my request, that you form groups, visit every town, every home, and give them the message of the Silsila and offer these books as a gift. It is a request from your Murshid, spread the literature. Spread it like rain.

Our second programme is that we will print books in Arabic. One of my books in Arabic has been printed by a university and is being taught, whoever wants to distribute the books, write down your address. However, there is a condition, after taking the books, you must not keep them at home. ‘Roohani Ilaj’, Roohani Namaz’ and ‘Rang-aur-Roshni se Ilaj’ – in these books, there is healing for the people from God.

I pray to God, that when I leave this world, may all my children, be they big or small, sons or daughters, live with me. It is my wish, my prayer, that all my children live with me. Say, Ameen.

Peace be upon you all.

If there were any lapses from my end towards your comfort or stay, may God forgive us, but we tried. All my children come here during winters. Set your intentions to follow the ordinances of God that you have heard, be prompt in fulfilling the Asbaaq (daily spiritual practices) of the Silsila. You see, we get our children admitted to schools, we get ourselves admitted too. If we just visit the school and not study, when will we pass? Will you pass? Some have completed 20 years, and some others have completed 10 years. People come and meet me. I ask them, Do you read your lesson?” They say that from now on they will read. “Do you recite Yahayyu Yaqayyum while walking, strolling, sitting, standing, with or without ablution?” They say that from now on they will recite.

I want to say this to you, whatever is born here – whether a tree, plant, animal, worm or insect – will die. 124,000 Prophets (PBUH) arrived and they tried very best. They endured hardships, succeeds in their mission, and transcended. The last Prophet, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) arrived. God declared – “He is the last Prophet.”

Now listen to what I am saying with attention.

What does the Quran say?

واعتصموا – Hold on,  واعتصموا – Hold on.

Listen again! واعتصموا – Hold on بحبل اللہ – to the rope of God

جمیعا – Being united, free from divisions. Alright?

واعتصموا-- واعتصموا بحبل اللہ جمیعا means tightly – Hold on tight.

بحبل اللہ  -- حبل  mean rope.  بحبل اللہ – To the rope of God.

ولاتفرقوا – Do not create divisions amongst yourselves – Alright?

I am sure you understand what I am trying to tell you without me taking any names.

بحبل اللہ – Hold on tight to the rope of God.

ولاتفرقوا – Do not create differences in God’s religion.

واعتصموا بحبل اللہ جمیعا – Hold on tight to the rope of God, do not create. . . Do not create?

[Participants: “Divisions amongst yourselves.”]

Did you all understand what I am trying to convey to you?

[Participants: “Yes”]

Unite and hold on to the rope of God tightly.

ولا تفرقوا – What is the meaning of this? Did you all understand?

Those who have understood, raise your hands.

The meaning of what is said behind the veil, is written inside on the screen of the mind.

واعتصموا – hold on  بحبل اللہ – Hold on tight to God’s rope, do not create division amongst yourselves.

I repeat myself again, do not fall for the divisions.

God is One – Wahid.

The seal of all Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is one.

Quran and Hadith is one.

Then why is everyone separate from another? Why?

Peace be upon you all.
