The Impact Of The Sacred Bond With Qalandar Baba Bukhari (RA) On My Life

By Waryam Kashif

Qalandar Baba Bukhari (Rahmatullah Alaih): a name I have grown fond of hearing. A face that is strangely peaceful to look at. Someone I have never met, and don’t long to meet, yet who has changed my life forever.

I was born into a loving household that already cherished this name, and I grew up seeing his pictures in frames on the living room walls. He has always been with me. I am one of those people who didn’t get to meet him in person, or had the opportunity to discover who he was; yet, I am someone who never experienced a life when he was not there. I had heard stories about him, and had seen the lives of the people around me, which made me eternally grateful for this blessing.

In the Quran, Allah says in Surah Yonus (10:62):

“Beware! Verily, the friends of Allah! No fear comes upon them, nor shall they grieve.”

Who are these friends of Allah, unfearful and not grieving? They are the chosen ones, who divorce the materialistic allure of this duniya (world), and dissolve their being into the love and devotion of Allah.

Qalandar Baba Bukhari (Rahmatullah Alaih) is one of these exceptional friends of Allah who devoted his life to the love of Allah and thus, became a haven for suffering humanity. His words are solace to many around the world and his greatest gift to humanity is his message of Surah Al-Rehman, an Ultimate Remedy; the light in pitch darkness.

His message portrays the Quran as a divine source of healing and that all healing is due to the blessings of Allah. This involves complete submission before the will of Allah and the experience of Oneness of Allah, by leaving all desires behind and just submitting to Him. These messages are not new, and instead, are some of the core Islamic values, and he has presented these in the most beautiful manner.

The continuation of these messages to this day has been done by the spiritual successor of Qalandar Baba Bukhari (Rahmatullah Alaih), the respected and beloved Syed Shakir Uzair (who everyone calls Syed Babajaan). And he has carried out this task in the most devoted and admirable way. His propensity to preserve this message has won the hearts of many, including me.

Syed Babajaan’s perseverance, patience and an unending love for Qalandar Baba (Rahmatullah Alaih), are just a few of the qualities that have left me in awe. He has painted such an elaborate and captivating picture of Qalandar Baba (Rahmatullah Alaih) that even those who have not met him, get the pleasure of knowing him through Babajaan.

I was fourteen years old when I first listened to Surah Al-Rahman in the prescribed manner. At that time, I was experiencing panic attacks and often had severe bursts of anxiety. As a teenager, I was also facing multiple existential crises, almost every week. I felt these problems pushing me towards wrong coping mechanisms, and I felt myself subconsciously normalizing such mechanisms because I saw them around me, in friends and in school. But after listening to Surah Al-Rahman, the way it was prescribed, I found myself changing. Change was not instant, but I waited. And surely, it manifested in my life in ways I never understood. I started thinking more positively and I felt my life change. I cannot say I am perfect now, but there is a strong and evident change in my life, and in the way I deal with problems.

The problems don’t go away. But a will is born. To change, to think better, to submit to the will of Allah. And when your perspective changes, the problems all seem to vanish into thin air! A quote of Qalandar Baba (Rahmatullah Alaih) that I have kept very close to my heart is:

“Love, love, love! Love so much that you extinguish hatred. And if you cannot love, then do not hate either.“

This element of love for everyone can be seen in the second part of this message. After listening, you must spread the message to everyone. I have given this to my friends, my teachers, my classmates and even people I randomly met on the street. I have observed that this has not only benefitted them and improved their lives, but has helped me to correct myself in many ways as well.

Having been born into a family that not only accepted this message but was a great appreciator of it, is indeed the greatest blessing and I am grateful to Allah for it. Not only Surah Al-Rahman healing therapy, but I found water therapy and name therapy to be heavily impactful in my life as well, as they have increased my confidence in social situations and taught me patience.

What this Faiz (blessing) does is establish an individual connection to Allah. When the hearts are connected to Allah’s thought, automatically life becomes peaceful and the problems become easier.

Moreover, I have been attending the live Dua sessions that Syed Babajaan holds every Friday, for the past two years and I have no words to explain the massive change I saw in myself. The consistency of the Duas and the sheer determinism of Syed Babajaan is my greatest motivator to keep spreading this message and keep working on myself.

I owe who I am today to Qalandar Baba Bukhari (Rahmatullah Alaih) and I am forever grateful to Allah that He gave me the most beautiful gift in the form of His friend, who became the clarity and direction in my life that I so much needed. My greatest wish is to remain connected to this Nisbat (sacred bond) that gave me so much to live for.

I would like to conclude this with a message for all my readers: listen to Surah Al-Rahman in the way this beautiful friend of Allah taught us, and spread it to as many people as you possibly can. This is a source of enlightenment for all. Do it out of love for Allah. It changes lives. It changed mine.
