In the
city of Sharqpur Shareef the esteemed Hazrat Shayr-e-Rabbaani Miyaan
Shayr Muhammad Saahib (Allaah have mercy on him) was a great holy man
and spiritual succor (Ghaus) of his time. This incomparable and
honorable Hazrat Miyaan Saahib gave the glad tidings of a personality to be
born who would be of great status and grandeur. To give an idea of how
much Almighty Allaah blessed this personality I narrate these words with total
honesty and confidence.
My
respected Hazrat Saahib Qiblah Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi (Allaah have
mercy on him) is remembered with the titles of Khateeb-e-A’zam, Ameer-e-Ahle
Sunnat, Mujaddid-e-Maslak-e-Ahle Sunnat, Ghaazi-e-Deen-o-Millat,
Muhaafiz-e-Naamoos-e-Risaalat and so on. People may think he was
merely a unique orator and writer but I can say with complete honesty and
sincerity that Hazrat Maulana Okarvi was truly a beloved of Almighty Allaah and
the holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). He was a
friend of Allaah and a beautiful individual with many qualities. He was
dignified and had very pleasant personality. He was not just one in a
thousand or a million, rather he was one in a billion. Almighty Allaah
made him excellent and elegant in appearance and nature and he alone undertook
work that thousands of organizations and religious schools (Madaaris)
combined could not do. The splendor and merit of the Ahle Sunnat seen
today is the result of the efforts and struggles of our Hazrat Maulana Okarvi
Saahib.
