Words of Wisdom

Maqàlàt-e-Hikmat (The Words of Wisdom) are at once the Hadrat Abu Anees’s life story and sayings. The book has the accounts of his family living and upbringing, the heart rending eye witnessed massacre of Muslims during the independence and  partition of the sub-Continent of India in to Bharat and Pakistan (East and West) in 1947, his allegoric narrations as a pilgrim on the path of Sülook (theopathy or journey in to faqr), the hitherto rare glimpse in to the lives of well known sufi masters, the luminaries of Islam and fascinating tales of the not so well-known amongst them, and most of all painful dispatches from the battlefields of major defenders of the early history of Islam, especially martyrdom of Imam Hussain and tragedy of Karbala. These monumental writings are pristinely original, neither borrowed nor copied, the essence of his contemplations, and easy to read and digest. The orientalists have hailed these words as ‘lessons of reality’ which according to the author himself ‘provide spotlights for research in to all fields and aspects of Islam.’

The author Ḥaḍrat Abū Anees Muḥammad Barkat 'Ali has in his The Words of Wisdom Volume XV portrayed a brief but vivid account of the life of his great grandfather Baba Dandhu Shah alias Darwish Al-Warā'. Through his abdication of the mundane worldly life and practices of extreme penances, by the bank of a river hundreds of miles away from his family home, he turned an accomplished Mutwakkal il-Allāh, the trait of a Muhwaḥḥid (strict believer in Tawḥīd, the Unity of godhead). He never returned home that he had left with his parents and expecting wife. Only once his teenage son Ḥakim visited him. He was pleased to meet him but only for a couple of days for he was committed to his religious practices and service to the needful of the area until his death and burial there.

The history repeated itself in-as-much-as the author, for his devotion to his Faith, selfless service to the needy and spirituality, emulated the life of an inherited genealogically the grandsire Baba Dandhu Shah's faq'r thus earning his ascriptions and appellations of Al-Mutawakkal il-Allāh and Muhajir il-Allāh.
