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.’

'“Maqalat-e-Hikmat is my autobiography,” said the author HAdrat Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali. To fill in the voids with his personal details thus completing the whole we have added to it some appendices. The dramatic proceedings of his Court Martial and subsequently honourable supurannuation from the Royal Indian Engineers in June 1945, and the Shajrah Tayyibah, the holy lineage of his guides in tassawuf beginning with the Holy Prophet Muhammad whose footsteps he undertook to follow full-time, have been published in our previous rendering.

The volume under review incorporates the translation of his Wills duly signed, witnessed and sealed, which on perusal would not leave the reader with even one iota of doubt about what should have happened to his remains and posthumous administration of his mission of life time.
