Talk:Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki

Untitled
I have added stubs and tried my best to remove reverence from the article to make it more secular. However it needs a lot of clean up and I will be back later to add more facts and figures and remove more reverences. Please help me. Hassanfarooqi 12:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

It is not my intention to "ruin" the article, i just think that if it is simplified, it will have greater scholary value. What do you think? Imranal 15:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Early Life
I removed the incorrect statement that Bakhtiar took initiation from Moinuddin 40 days before Moinuddin's death. Bakhtiar died a year before Moinuddin.Ramseyman (talk) 12:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Too much ?
{ When Khwaja Qutbuddin intended to kiss the feet of his Pir and Murshid and seek his permission to depart, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti understood it and asked him to be nearer, and when Khwaja Bakhtiyar stepped up and fell at his Pir’s feet, Moinuddin Chishti raised him up and embraced him affectionately. A Fateha was then recited and Moinuddin Chishti advised his murid: “Never turn your face from the right path of Sufism and Truth. Prove yourself to be a brave man in this Divine Mission.” When he again fell at the feet of Khwaja Moinuddin overwhelmed with love and grief at this tragic hour of parting, he was again raised and embraced affectionately by his Sheikh. Following this order, he went to Delhi and stayed there. It was the period of Sultan Shams ud din Iltutmish. }

It seems that the bio. is too extensive, may need to cut some more parts. Imranal 15:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

{ Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki used to offer 95 rakats of salah daily, along with 3000 Darood Sharif(complimenting the Prophet Muhammad). During the first three nights of his first marriage, he could not maintain the darood. The Prophet Muhammed sent a message to a person named Rais Ahmed(?), asking Bakhtiyar Kaki the reason for not reciting the darood sharif. Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki divorced his wife as a way of repentance and thereafter broke off all worldly ties and devoted his full time to the devotion of God. }

Is it needed to tell how many durood and salats khwaja bakhtiar kaki offered? Imranal 15:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

It is narrated that in the early stages of his life, Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin r.a. would take a nap, but in the last part of his life he kept awake all the time. He had also committed the Quran to memory and used to recite and finish it twice daily. Whenever anything came to his Khanqah, he quickly distributed these to the poor and needy. If there were nothing, he would request his attendants and mureeds to distribute plain water as a humble token of his hospitality.

Again, the same question? Imranal 15:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

{ Sheikh Nur Bux has written in his book entitled "Silsila tuz'zah": "Bakhtiyar Aushi was a great devotee, mystic and friend of God. In private and public he was indulged in the remembrance of God. He was habituated to eat little, sleep little and speak little. He was a towering personality in the world of mysticism." }

Same question? Imranal 15:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Create a subsection
Once Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin was coming back with his relatives and disciples after offering Eid Salah [Eid prayers] that he, all on a sudden, halted at a place in silence. After a while his relatives submitted: "Today is the Eid day. Many people would be awaiting his arrival.” Having heard this Hazrat Khwaja r.a. came out of his lost state and uttered, “From this piece of land I have the smell of the perfect men.”

Thereafter, he came home and after the meal was over, he asked the people to call the owner of the land to him. When the owner came to him, he purchased that piece of land from him. Later, Hazrat Bakhtiyar r.a. was buried in the same soil.

Death also came to him in an unusual manner. It is stated that once in an assembly of Sama [religious music] he happened to hear a verse of Hazrat Ahmad Jam with the meaning: "Those who are killed with the dagger of surrender and pleasure get a new life from the Unseen." }

{ Hazrat Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki r.a. was so much absorbed in and inspired with this verse that from that day on he kept on reciting it in a state of unconsciousness and gave his life in the same state. He remained in this state of Wajd for 3 consecutive days and expired on the 4th day. He died on the 14th of Rabi-ul-Awwal 633 A.H. On account of his extraordinary death, Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kak ir.a. is known as "Shahid-e-Mohabbat" or Martyr of Allah's Love. }

Maybe these stories should be put in another subsection, along with some of those above. Imranal 15:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
