Hazrat Sadiduddin Huzefa Mirashi (ra)


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.
