ahh beautiful, subhanAllah. It belongs here.
Does anyone know if Shahab Sahib left instructions for anyone who wishes to initiate Rabta with him?
Faqeera, it is usually very difficult for us to initiate Rabita with the Awliya that have departed. In the rare cases where such a connection is established it is due to the initiative of the wali rather than the seeker.
The best way to benefit from them is to act upon their teachings, make fatiha for them and visit their mizaarat if possible. We must remember that we do not choose where we take benefit from but it is Allah (swt) who gives benefit from where He chooses.
golden words in your comment bhai.
That it is Allah who arranges things! We may wish to be bayt with someone in the past -the Ovesi way- but it is not according to our Irada, however, Allah does arrange for some other teacher in His wisdom.
Except perhaps the Qalanders…they do tend to take on those who are attracted to them. Perhaps God has given them special leave? What d’you think?
As you know bhai there are always exceptions. Those that are “attracted” are usually those that are “called”. People do tend to be overpowered by the Qalandari sprituality and can have “interactions” with them but a genuine and active Uwaysi connection is very very rare indeed.
Who are the Qalandars? How can one know if he is being contacted by the Qalandars?
Waqar, the Qalandars are sufis that do not conform to outward standards. Historically this was a favorite guise of many charlatans pretending to be “faqirs”. If someone is contacted by somebody that’s passed away he would know it himself. Beware though, being in contact with spirits is not the aim of the path!
Would Qalandar be synonymous with a Majzoob?
Is the Sufi silsila of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (ra) different?
I know, that is not the aim of the path. JazakAllah for the guidance. Although, I wish I could meet Shahab Sahib some day…
No its not synonymous. The majzoob is excused from following the shariah due not being in possession of his intellect. The qalandar on the other hand is not excused. As far as I am aware a qalandar is someone that is often “drowned” in Tawhid leading to neglect of outer things. That is why from the perspective of the masters both are imperfect. The more perfect the realisation the more in line it would be with the Sunnah.
I don’t have any knowledge of the silsila of Hz Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (ra). All genuine silsila’s agree on the fundamentals and if you read the tazkiras men dubbed as qalandar you’ll find that were often strict in following the Shariah.
Wishing to meet Shahab sahib is not wrong…many people would love to meet some of the awliya that have departed and sometimes if the wish is strong enough one does meet them. May God benefit us by them all and grant us the blessing of seeing them.
Alhamdulillah, then I pray to the one who listens all prayers, may we be blessed with Shahab Sahib’s ziarat, Ameen. May all who’s hearts yearn for him may find him, Ameen. and for the rest, may they be blessed with a yearning, Ameen.
Could someone recomend me books on Auliya Allah of Pakistan or India.
allah give high place to shahab sahib.do you have any connection with shahab sahib.i am waiting for your answer. i am tired from this world and i want to live such life allah demands.i am mureed of sarrkar tarregri shareef
can i contact with shahab sahib son
Dear Asma, No i don’t have a special connection with Shahb sahib and i don’t think it is necessary either. Masha’Allah if you are indeed tired of the dunya then count it as a blessing. You are already a mureed so all that remains is to follow. What God wants of us is simple and clear but we like to complicate things.If we acted more and thought and talked/discussed less we would make tremendous progress.
Sorry for the delayed reply, I was without internet access.
Masha Alah, Meaningful questions and apt answers too. Congratulations.
May Allah grant us the Nigah-e-Karam of his Prophets and Awliya.
Asslam u alikum,
At last I found the very special people who love Shahab sahib. He is the person , who makes me laugh, who makes me cry. God bless him. Fourth time i’m reading his magical book shahab nama and every time this great book giving me much more than i deserve. I have read almost all of his books. He is great.His writings have power to hepnatize me. Any body knows where is Shahab sahibs last resting place. I love to go their for ‘FATIAH’. Any body from england can join me as i have a plan to go to Dr. Iffat’s last resting place for ‘FATIAH’ in Canterburry not far from London. You know what i will do there, i’ll take my Shahab Nama there and the will read the Chapetr about Dr. Iffat. It makes me cry for hours and while i would be crying i will seek blessing from Allah for Shahab sahib and Dr. Iffat. GOD bless u both. May be some day i will meet Shahab Sahib’s son. I think he is heart specialist and president of some doctors organization in Canada. GOD Bless you people who disscuss my favourite personality.
hey sunny can you please give the complete address of Canterburry please. i shall very thankfull to you
As i have finished Shahab Nama, i feel Quddra Ullah Shahab very close to my heart and last night i saw him in my dream guiding me to some unidentified destination.
so, you dont remember the destination?
I came to know about QUS when i was in First year i think in 1998. My sister borrowed a book from her college library and that book was Shahabnama. Now everything happens for a reason but i am still trying to find that reason. I read that book then and i have been reading it after that for so many times. Still i read and and try to grab something out of it that can guide me or thats for me. I wish its all planned and my aquaintance with the book is not just a coincidence. I wish there is a reason behind it. I wish i am guided this way.
AOA
any one who can let me know the resting place of late Qudrat Ullah Shahab.
many thanks.
naveed
AOA… IAm a huge fan of QU Shahab and his writings. Nice to have found u ppl around. Il also planning to visit his gave for Fatiha. Just found from net that Saqib Shahab is a doctor and resides in Canada. May Allah Bless us all. Aameen
Nice post. Can you send me an email please? Would like to ask something.
Sure, drop me a line here: …………………… Better hurry though as I can’t leave this up too long.
aslamoalkum,,,,
First time when i read the book of a great Q u shahab i m very impressed with his experiences of llife.There is very few people who works for “Muslim Uma” and sacrifices for Muslim community……….May allah give us a sence 2 behave like a perfect muslim n strenthed the Muslim comunity
I have finished half of Shahab Nama published by Sang-e-Meel Publications, Lahore. I have found the book quite absorbing.
I was 12/13 old when I saw Mr Shahab posted as deputy commissioner of Jhang. It was great to have travelled with him from Lahore to Jhang in his Chevrolet with Pakistan flag flying on the right side of his car. He was driving the car for himself.
Will someone tell me where he is buried so that I can lay flowers and offer Fatiha by the side of his grave should I chance to visit the town where he lies now.

Gul Hameed Sahib,
Nice to hear from you. Shahab sahib is buried in Islamabad in the cemetery near Zeropoint. Entering from the main gate with the small mosque ahead you will find it in one of the rows the left, not too far from the gate. Not exact directions, I know, but if you get that far you will insha’Allah find it.
shahab sahib is simply great.God Bless him, his family and his friends.I wish if he was alive today, how lucky we all would have been……
Can someone PLEASE tell me about exact place where hazrat Qudrat-ullah-shahab is burried? I will be very thankful
.
In the H8 graveyard in Islamabad, Pakistan (not far from Zeropoint) Read my reply to Gul Hameed sahib above.

Indeed he was a great sufi, Buzurg and a wali infact. May his ranks go higher and higher in heaven.
a.o.a
I think u people have some interest in tasawuff so thats why i am mentioning here a web address , where u can listen to the lectures of wali ullah hazrat sarfraz a shah ,who lives in lahore and u can also ask questions from him on tasawuff and also personal dua requests.
web address is : qalander.org
try it,believe me
I knew Shahab Sb as achild and had the good fortune of spending time with him at my uncle Ishfaque Ahmeds (may his soul rest in peace) house. Even then as chidren one could sense his presence to be different although could not completely understand the reason. Later in life after reading Shahabnama did I truly realize his spiritual stature. May Allah elevate him further…..I always visit his grave when i happen to be in Islamabad and offer Fateha…..Its wonderful to know there are so many people who appreciate him and his writings
Dear Bia,
Thank you for your comment. Perhaps you could share some of your experiences/observations with us?
I dont want to be disrespectful, but Shahan Sahib was a very much worldly person and left propety of crores in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi and London. I don’t understand why did he not give any of that away as charity. His son has moved to Canada about 14 years back, for no specific reason. He had all one needs here in Pakistan. He has sold all of his property and taken this money to live comfortably in Canada. So much for for the son of waliullah and his teachings
Dear fellow meanings-of-life-seekers,
I’ve been searching for his son and finally found, his son Dr. Saqib Shahab is in Canada working as Medical Health Officer in Yorkton.
But we all must respect his privacy as he does not want to be popular. Please do not disturb him, he is very busy person.
Dear ‘zubair’,
thank you for your comment,
First:
do you have some more details about that property which you have mentioned?
You might even know the source of that property, if that exists or existed?
Second:
Anyone can leave Pakistan or his forefather’s homeland for any reason, there is no limit on liberty of anyone. At least he did not loot anything from poop people.
I doubt it very much you will give a second thought if you were given a chance to quit Pakistan. What do you say?
Has anyone asked about the looted-property of our incompetent leaders of the day? bank balance, foreign accounts, palaces and so on?
Can you please do a favor to us all, by providing some facts about legal (and illegal) property of some or all of the following?
1) Musharraf – the most recent military dictator
2a) Zardari – current civil dictator
2b) add his legal-wife late Benazir Bhutto
3) Chaudhary brothers of Gujrat – the opportunists
4) The members of the assembalies in Musharraf time
5) The owners of the Suger and Flour mills?
6) ….
list is so long that I need to stay here forever ….
thank you for your time, please respect those who respect humanity.
Here those who sell Pakistani nationals for dollars, who sell Pakistani teritory or sell control-of-the-teritory are also corrupt. May Allah help Pakistan.

Assalam O Alaikum
After reading all the comments I am really very much proud of my brothers and happy to see such kind of love for a great Personality Mr. Qudrat Ullah Shahab ( May His Soul be rest in peace Ameen ). I am also among all those lovers and wish to learn more and more from all of them. As I read one of the book of Mr. Mumtaz Mufti ( May His Soul be rest in peace Ameen )as well they all were attached in chain of Sufism.
May Allah keep all of us Under His Kind Blessings.
Jazakullah, Wasalam
I am a huge fan of Mr Qudratullah Shahab. I visited his grave many times.
Once I had a problem, I went to his grave and offer esaal e sawab for him and in heart I told him my story and would you believe he gave me answer like us mamlay k saath aisa ho ga aur doosray k saath waisa. Firstly I thought mera weham hay but as time passed away both things happened to be true.
I love him so much and I will follow him always.
God bless you and try to read the holy quran and follow it.
AOA,
To all fans and followers of Shahab sahib, when i visited grave yard of H block in Islamabad looking for Shahab sb grave i felt that he himself pointed out the exact location as some body was calling me towards that point before that i did not have the idea about his grave , I strongly wish to follow the path as told by him but its very difficult for a gunah gar,lazy person .Bhai chaiwala can you tell me if there is any khalifa of shahab sb so i could contact him.

Azhar Bhai, WS
As far as I am aware Shahab sahib did not have any khalifa. He belonged to a diffrent category of awliya. These people don’t have murids or khalifas as they are primarily not “teaching shaykhs”. However one can still benefit from their ruhaniyyat.
AOA,Chaiwala bhai
Thank you very much for reply.Please help me to to find the way in order to get benefit from ruhaniyyat(no dunyawi benefit) .After various attempts i have come to the conclusion that one must need a teacher whatsever the silsila is,as without any guide its not possible(at least for sinner like me) to improve his conduct.once again i request you to guide me.
Regards
Azhar Ali
AOA,Chaiwala bhai
Could you please let me know where about in Canterbury the graveyard (Mrs Iffat Shahab buried) is?
Regards,

Khan Bhai, you can google it to find location of the graveyard. Iffat Shahab’s grave is identifiable by its direction which is different from others. I haven’t been yet but intend to go very soon, insha’Allah.
