The Impact Of Listening To The Message Of Qalandar Baba Bukhari (RA) On One’s Life

By Aania Kashif

I used to wonder how can anyone love someone who they’ve never met, but now I say it with the depths of my heart that I love Qalandar Baba Bukhari (R.A) today, and will do till my last breath. He was someone extraordinary, an antidote to all the poisons in my life, my Nafs (ego). He entered my life like the sun rises at dawn, slowly sweeping away the darkness and illuminating all the skies. For me, he was the definition of love. He did not only change my life, but also the lives of countless people all over the world. He healed their souls, gave them an inspiration to live, all with the greatest rhythm of the universe, the Quran. His most beautiful message to humanity: the gift of Surah Al-Rehman.

I was a child born in a family where Qalandar Pak (R.A) held a place of utmost respect and admiration. My father had a life changing encounter with this alluring message through the most beautiful Syed Shakir Uzair (whom everyone calls Syed Babajaan), the only successor of Qalandar Pak (R.A). Since childhood, I have seen pictures of Qalandar Pak (R.A) hanging all around our house and have always heard my parents talk about him; it was almost as if he was a close family member who I hadn’t met yet. I never paid any special attention to those pictures nor ever questioned their presence because deep down my soul, it always attracted me, the attractive smile on his face brought me comfort and peace. This message was never new to me.  I had grown up watching my parents give everyone this message wherever they went, but it was all too much for me to understand. Over time, as I grew up, I understood more. My mother, who listened  to Syed Babajaan’s live duas from home, made me sit in the room where the dua played; his voice echoing in every corner. And although I never understood much else, I always understood this one line that Syed Babajaan used to say every time:

“Allah is here. Whatever happens is due to Allah’s decree and His decree is perfect.“

And this line shook me to the soul. It became the hope that kept me going, and it still is.

I was twelve when I first listened  to Surah Al-Rehman. I listened to it with eagerness and followed the procedure as I was told. Every night after listening, I used to write how I felt and that helped me a lot. I had severe anger issues and  used to throw tantrums over the slightest of problems. I never realized my mistake in any case, and I wasn’t ready to accept anything that went against my will, which was a serious problem. At first, after listening to the message, I had expected myself to have an instant change, but that wasn’t so. It took me time. And  I’d be lying if I said that after two years, I have completely transcended into someone new, but I have changed a significant amount. It takes time. I have gotten better in ways that I never expected. As Qalandar Pak (R.A) used to say:

“Allah loves smiling faces.”

I remember this quote and I smile more now. I still get angry but now I don’t let it control me. I still get a lot of mood swings; however, I have this thought that Allah is present. And this thought always sticks with me. It always helps me in everything. I don’t get stressed now, because I have made this thought the purpose of my living.

Now, every Friday, I attend the live dua session that Syed Babajaan holds and I have noticed it doesn’t matter whether you are listening online or are present there, what matters is that you try your best to implement the provoking words of Syed Babajaan in your daily lives and spread this message as much as possible. Babajaan’s love and devotion is the very thing that motivates me to spread this message at every opportunity  I get.

I will forever be grateful to Qalandar Pak (R.A) for giving me this beautiful message.

Someone once asked the prophet (S.A.W) : “Who are the friends of Allah?” He said: “Upon seeing them, you are reminded of Allah” (Ibn e majah)

His message has not only blessed me with a better thought but also has helped me find Allah. It has helped me search for a positive perspective at every stage of life, and most of all, it bought back my trust in myself. It helped me solve my problems in ways I least expected it to.

In the end, I’d like to request everyone who’s reading to please spread this message with as many people as possible with full energy and enthusiasm. This message changed my life, it can change yours too.
