Hazrat Khwaja Sadiduddin Huzefa Marashi (rh)
Through
my weakness am I in a state of unconsciousness, Therefore there is no
joy in my heart at all; I feel tremendously drawn towards him.
Salautations to you, may I be intoxicated by love, Oh Sadid ad-Din
Huzaifa Marashi.
Hazrat
Khwaja Sadid ad-Din Huzaifa al-Marashi r.a was a great saint of early
Islamic history, known as 'the man of secrets.' IN his childhood, he had
already mastered the seven recitations of the Holy Quraan. After
completing his studies, he was directed to become the murid of Hazrat
Ibrahim bin Adham by none other than Hazrat Khidr a.s himself.
Khwaja
Huzaifa al-Marashi used to spend all his time serving Hazrat Khwaja
Ibrahim Adham r.a and on their travels together, he met the foremost
saints of his time. As one might expect, Khwaja Huzaifa r.a received
intensive spiritual training from his master. During his travels he used
to make dhikr aloud continuously. He never asked any favors from
mortals; if he needed anything he sought the aid of Allah alone, and it
was produced for him from the unseen world. He also authored several
works in the science of Tasawwuf.
After
completing his spiritual training, he received the Khilafat from his
murshid and became his foremost successor. So great was the love between
master and pupil that whatever spiritual wealth Hazrat Ibrahim bin
Adham received from Khidr a.s, Imam Mohammed Baqir r.a and Hazrat Fuzail
bin Ayaz r.a, he gave to him.
He was
a man of great humility and filled with tremendous fear of Allah. Once
he was asked, " why do you cry so much? Do you not believe in Allah's
mercy?" He replied," in the Quran it is written that a group will be in
Paradise, and another in Hell. I do not know which of these I will be in
, therefore I cry." He was then asked," if this is your case, why do
you accept people's bayaah?" Upon hearing this, he gave an anguished
sigh and passed out. When he awakened, a voice was heard by all those
present giving him the glad tidings of Paradise. Upon hearing this,
three hundred unbelievers accepted Islam.
Khawaja
Sadid ad-Din Huzaifa Maraashi attained unity with Beloved on the 14th
Shawal 207 AH. His most famous khalifa was Khwaja Amin ad-Din Habayrah ,
but it is said that Imam ash-Shafi was another of them.
