Why did the shehzadas say nothing about this letter until now? Why not mention it in the first proclamation in London three years ago? And why leave it out from the lengthy 50-page “nass-nama kitaab” produced four months later, which included the alleged hospital “nass” report, as well as lots of “signs and portents”?
All three of the witnesses listed in this letter are deceased—none can testify to its authenticity.
Especially with today’s technology, it is not impossible to alter documents and recordings.
Syedna Burhanuddin’s Mazoon of 50 years is swearing an oath on the Quran that Syedna Burhanuddin did nass on him—who could be more trustworthy than the Dai and his Mazoon?
If Syedna Burhanuddin had done nass on Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb in 1388H, why would he allow him to do sajda to Syedna Qutbuddin for 22 years afterward? Sajda equals ta’aat/obedience, an acknowledgement of aala maqaam.
… And why would Syedna Burhanuddin not inform Qutbuddin Mola? On the contrary, he confirmed his nass upon Syedna Qutbuddin on several occasions even after 1388 [1968].
… And why would Syedna Burhanuddin not inform Mufaddal bhaisaheb himself, not then, and not for the next 47 years?
In Dawat history, it has never happened that the Dai would withhold the information of nass from his most trusted person, the mansoos, even when he wanted to keep the nass secret from everyone else. And why would he? What if the shahids all died, and the mansoos himself did not know he was the mansoos?
For example, when the 49th dai Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin did nass on Syedna Abdullah Badruddin, he said to the witnesses that they should only disclose this information after he passed away, “dupatto oraawo pachi zahir karjo,” but he called his mansoos Syedna Abdullah Badruddin the next day and told him of the nass upon him.
When the rutba of Mukasir became open when Syedi Saleh bhaisaheb passed away in 1993, why did Syedna Burhanuddin appoint Shehzada Husain bhaisaheb Husamuddin to the post, and not Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb?
Shaikh Ebrahim Yamani is one of the witnesses/shahids listed on the letter. All through his life, his words and actions show his knowledge of Syedna Burhanuddin’s nass on Syedna Qutbuddin, not on someone else. Both before 1388 and after, he gave extra reverence to Syedna Qutbuddin, even expressing to him his anticipation of Syedna Qutbuddin’s Dai-ship. Why would he do so if he had secret knowledge of a different nass? Moreover, he wrote many publicly recited madehs for Syedna Qutbuddin, in one of which he says, for e.g., “tamay dawat ni raha na qutub chho” normally said only of the Dai.
A historical example of what we are witnessing today is the fitnat against the 27th Dai Syedna Dawood bin Qutub-Shah, where the majority of the family of the previous Dai, Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah, turned against Syedna Dawood bin Qutub-Shah. They then invited Sulayman to spearhead their fitnat. Even Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah’s official letter-writer (Katib) joined the fitnat na logo, and he claimed that Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah had confided to him Sulayman’s name as successor on his deathbed. The Katib concocted a letter in Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah’s name, with Syedna’s official stamp and seal, pronouncing nass on Sulayman. Many people believed this letter was genuine and left Syedna Dawood for Sulayman; the majority of the Yemeni mumineen at that time turned Sulaymani.
Shehzada Husain bhaisaheb was not privy to any direct information from Burhanuddin Mola regarding the nass. What he is saying is on the basis of his acceptance of the shehzadas’ report.
On the point of theology, if weight were to be given to what Shehzada Husain bhaisaheb is saying as Mukasir, then by the same logic, even more weight should be given to what Burhanuddin Mola’s Mazoon is saying.
After the rutba of Dai in the Imam’s satar-ni-Dawat, the rutba of Mazoon is the highest in the Dawat hierarchy, above the Mukasir, and above everyone else.
The Mazoon is the Dai’s “partner/qaseem” in conducting Dawat: Dai and Mazoon symbolize two of the five daily namaaz prayers. Dai and Mazoon symbolize two of the four words of the Kalimat-ush-shahadat, la ilaha illa l-lah. Dai and Mazoon are mumineen’s spiritual parents. (See texts and translations of bayaans regarding the Mazoon’s exalted position on home page).
In Dawat kitaabs, and in the Arabic text of the misaaq which is used in Yemen, the Mazoon is referred to by his full rutba-title as “Mazoon Mutlaq.” “Mutlaq” means “absolute and full authority” in conducting Dawat affairs: Just as the Dai is “Dai l-Mutlaq” and has the Imam’s absolute and full authority, the Mazoon is “Mazoon Mutlaq” and has the Dai’s absolute and full authority.
The full rutba-title of Mukasir is “Mukasir Mahsoor.” “Mahsoor” means that he has authority in Dawat, but that authority is under the Dai and his Mazoon, and is restricted to certain functions.
People who have for years and years attended Shehzada Husain bhaisaheb’s sabaqs have said that he spoke frequently of the high rutba of Mazoon, and of Qutbuddin Mola’s shaan in particular; and he spoke also of his awareness of the hate campaign against Qutbuddin Mola and of Qutbuddin Mola’s tremendous sabar.
Shehzada Husain bhaisaheb also said: “Never in the 900-year history of Dawat has any Mazoon turned away from Dawat.”
What has been done to the Qutbuddin Mola and his family in the past week is public knowledge: They are burning effigies of him, and sending death threats. All this is an obvious deterrent to anyone who would side with Qutbuddin Mola, and an example of what can happen to anyone who defies Mufaddal bhaisaheb’s state apparatus. In every jamaat, mumineen have witnessed fear. Qutbuddin Mola was able to reach safety, Alhamdulillah, but Shehzada Husain bhaisaheb has over a hundred family members in Saifee Mahal.
In 1409H, Syedna Burhanuddin sent Qutbuddin Mola for Ashara mubaraka waaz to Mombasa. During his stay in Kenya, someone filed a complaint with the Kenya government requesting that Qutbuddin Mola be deported. Kenya government officials sent an official letter to Qutbuddin Mola naming Husain and Saifuddin Heptullah as the people who had filed the complaint against him. In Nairobi, Qutbuddin Mola met with President Moi of Kenya, who also personally named to him the Heptullah brothers as the complaint-filers. Qutbuddin Mola, knowing the Heptullahs’ position in the Dawat administration in Africa, chose NOT to name them in public. But Husain Heptullah went to Burhanuddin Mola in Burhanpur (where the eminent Mazoon Syedi Abdulqadir Hakimuddin is buried) and swore that he and his brother were innocent – before anyone had accused them of anything. Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb immediately accepted their oath—with no other evidence, and without listening to Qutbuddin Mola’s side of the story—with the ‘logic’ that if they had been lying while swearing on Hakimuddin Mola’s qabar “they would have been struck down by lightning.”
Burhanuddin Mola later said to Qutbuddin Mola regarding this attempted deportation, that “such a thing could have only been done by Dawat na dushman”—Burhanuddin Mola thus affirmed that whoever did make the deportation attempt was Dawat no dushman.
Burhanuddin Mola did faislo on that basis, and said he was closing the matter.
Qutbuddin Mola accepted Burhanuddin Mola’s decision to close the matter, and has NEVER spoken of it until today, when he has to do so in order to defend Burhanuddin Mola’s Dawat. Despite the evidence he had been presented with, Qutbuddin Mola even went to the Heptullah’s home for ziyafat in Nairobi after the ‘faislo’ was given in Burhanpur—this is sure proof of Qutbuddin Mola’s deep ikhlaas.
Even though he had been the victim in the affair, Qutbuddin Mola was made out by the shehzadas to be the perpetrator. Their best defense was an offense.
Regarding giving false witness, Rasulullah SA has said: If you obtain from me a wrong judgment/faisla in your favor by giving false witness, then know that I am giving you a seat in hellfire (Bayaan from the Rasail Ikhwan us Safa of Imam Ahmad al-Mastoor).
In another example, some people falsely accused a man of stealing, and Rasulullah SA ordered ehna haath kaapwanu, and the punishment was carried out. The accused began to pray salawaat on Rasulullah SA. Jibraeel came to Rasulullah SA and said to him, this man is innocent. Rasulullah called him back and shifa boli, doa kidhi, and mojiza si joined his hands again.
Despite the attempts of the fitnat people, Burhanuddin Mola continued to affirm Qutbuddin Mola in the exalted position of his Mazoon until his wafaat.
The fitnat people claim that Burhanuddin Mola ye Qutbuddin Mola ne “reva dida”, keeping him Mazoon only in zahir/outwardly form. If this were true, how could Burhanuddin Mola continue to take Qutbuddin Mola’s name in the misaaq oath which is the basis of every mumin’s imaan? In fact, the Zahir-Batin doctrine propagated by Shz Aliasghar bhaisaheb Kalimuddin and his supporters, (that one person could be Mazoon in zahir for political purposes, while another unnamed person was the true Mazoon), was emphatically denied by Burhanuddin Mola to none other than his own granddaughter Umama baisaheba, daughter of Shehzada Huzefa bhaisaheb Mohyuddin.
And on one occasion, a mumin presented Syedna Burhanuddin with an audio copy of a misaaq in Colombo taken by Zoher bs Ezzuddin, son of Shz. Maryam baisaheba, in which Zoher bs had deliberately left out Qutbuddin Mola’s name. Burhanuddin Mola was furious. He summoned Zoher bs to his public bethak and was so angry that he almost got up from his chair, demanding: “Who gave you this false tasawwur/doctrine!”
Dawat dushmano have maligned Syedi Najam Khan in the past and they continue to do so today. In fact, his shaan was such that Syedna Taher Saifuddin and Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin always spoke of his deep ikhlaas, and they did sajda at Syedi Najam Khan’s qabar mubarak.
Syedna Abdeali Saifuddin praises highly Syedi Najam Khan’s ilm and fazal, and names him as a vital link in his own “ilmi nasab.”
Daily in our hafti in Fateha doa for Mazooneen, Mukasereen and Hudood, we recite Syedi Najam Khan’s name.
Haq is haq, no matter how many or how few side with it. Amirul Mumineen said “I am with Haq even if I am the only one.”
An example from history: The 25th Dai Syedna Jalal did public nass on two Dais, Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah, and to follow him, Syedna Dawood bin Qutub-Shah. Later, Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah confirmed the nass on Syedna Dawood bin Qutub-Shah. Even so, after Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah passed away, and Sulayman challenged Syedna Dawood bin Qutub-Shah’s succession, Syedna Dawood bin Ajab-Shah’s family sided with Sulayman.
Yusuf nabi’s brothers all came together as a single hand against him.
Grieving the passing of Mola Burhanuddin is not just mandatory for a mumin, it is also a natural outpouring of our love for our Bawa Shafiq. We mourn his loss, we pray that Allah taala grant him highest maqaam in Jannat, and we beseech Burhanuddin Mola to continue bestowing his nazaraat upon us, now and always.
Pledging allegiance to the rightful spiritual successor of the Dai is the most important component of paying reverence to the Dai who passes away.
Due to Burhanuddin Mola’s own farmaan, Qutbuddin Mola could not disclose Burhanuddin Mola’s nass upon him earlier. After Burhanuddin Mola’s wafaat/demise, it was his duty to Burhanuddin Mola, and his responsibility to Imam uz zamaan, to make his nass known immediately.
It is Mufaddal bhaisaheb and his administration who have turned the majlises held in Saifee Masjid and relayed worldwide into sessions of laanat and hate.
It is in the true Khatmul Quran majlises that Qutbuddin Mola conducts daily for Burhanuddin Mola RA in Darus Sakina, that our beloved Muqaddas Mola Burhanuddin RA is sincerely and deeply mourned.
Qutbuddin Moula paid his final respects at Syedna Burhanuddin RA’s janaza mubaraka at Saify Mahal very soon after his demise. Qutbuddin Maula entered the ghurfa mubaraka, kissed Burhanuddin Aqa’s qadam, and did cho taraf tawaaf. He immediately wrote a letter to Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb saying that it was his duty and his right to lead janaza namaz of Burhanuddin Aqa. The letter also asked Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb to contact him with assurances that Qutbuddin Maula’s presence would not lead to maara maari resulting in behurmati of the janaza mubaraka. Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb ignored Qutbuddin Maula’s call. See letter here.
Husain Imam had to leave Baitullah at the very time when others were arriving for Hajj, because an army was being sent to attack him. Husain Imam wished to preserve the sanctity of Allah’s haram.
In the entire history of Dawat, no Mazoon has ever done fitnat. On the other hand, sons of Nabis, Imams, and Duat have often revolted and done fitnat and started firqas. Qutbuddin Moula was given the rutba of Mazoon by Syedna Burhanuddin RA through ilhaam and taaeed of Imam uz Zaman. The trust placed in him is eternal. If he were to ever violate that trust, it would imply that the Imam and Dai can make mistakes in their most essential duties and negate the basis of our religion.
Qutbuddin Mawla obeyed the farmaan of Syedna Burhanuddin RA and kept his nass private/khangi. Two years ago, when Shehzada Qaid Johar bhaisaheb announced that nass was conferred on Shehzada Mufaddal bhaisaheb, Qutbuddin Maula maintained his charge of secrecy and patiently waited for Syedna’s return from London to speak in private. Then it became known that Syedna has suffered a debilitating stroke impairing his speech and awareness. With sabr and fortitude, Qutbuddin mawla kept obeying the farmaan to keep his nass secret with the hope that Syedna Burhanuddin would recover from the stroke and correct the falsehood done during his illness.
It was very apparent in Rozat Tahera that Syedna Burhanuddin RA was unwell, aapna mizaaj par behud giraani hati. No one heard or understood anything from Syedna’s lips. Thousands were present at the event, and tens of thousands saw the video (to view full video click here). All anyone heard was Dr. Moiz bhaisaheb reading from a prepared script.
Mumineen were grief stricken to see their Mola in a very sad state of ill health. Shehzadas took advantage of the emotional tidal wave and orchestrated the whole event.
Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin RA disclosed to Muqaddas Syedi Mukasir saheb Saleh bhaisaheb that if he had revealed his nass in public, ‘talwaaro chali jaate’.
Ya’qub nabi had instructed Yusuf nabi not to reveal his rutba to his brothers because he feared that it would increase their jealousy and they would harm him.
In his Risalat, Syedna Taher Saifuddin says he is revealing a “deep secret” (see Arabic text and translation on home page):
The 7th dai Syedna Ahmed did private nass on his mansoos Syedna Husain without soliciting the presence of any witnesses, and without a public declaration of succession. Syedna Husain revealed himself to be mansoos after Syedna Ahmed’s demise.
Syedna Ahmed’s nass was an extraordinary circumstance because the standard practice is that the Dai performs public nass in front of mumineen, or private nass in front of 2 or 4 shahids, and there are many instances of both in Dawat history. It is well known, for example, that the 49th Dai Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin performed nass upon the 50th Dai Syedna Abdullah Badruddin in front of shahids, and the nass was made public after Syedna Burhanuddin’s wafaat. In contrast, Syedna Ahmed did not perform nass upon Syedna Husain in the presence of witnesses, but only disclosed it to his mansoos. This is why Syedna Taher Saifuddin says he is disclosing a deep secret, and that is why he gives the sole example of Syedna Husain for this kind of nass-e-khafi, and not of Syedna Badruddin or others like him.
Until Syedna Taher Saifuddin wrote about it openly in his Risalat, Syedna Ahmed’s private nass on Syedna Husain was not revealed in zahir history kitaabs. This explains the difference in the version of the zahir history Kitab Muntaza ul Akhbar of Shaikh Qutub bhai Burhanpuri, which says Syedna Ahmed performed nass on Syedna Husain in the presence of hudood mukhliseen and mumineen muqineen (i.e. a standard, public nass in front of hudood and mumineen).
There is hikmat in each of Syedna Taher Saifuddin’s bayaans, and there is hikmat in that he chose to reveal this khaangi nass for mumineen today.
Nass is conferred only on one who has attained the highest level of spirituality, reaching the high station of one who is worthy of becoming the na’ib of Imam uz zamaan.
According to our doctrine, nass can never be revoked from one mansoos and given to another. Our kitaabs say that Amirul Mumineen has written the names of all the Dais in the Kitabul Ilm. The claim that nass can be revoked is invalid because it would mean that Imam uz zamaan made a mistake in reading from the Kitabul Ilm when he did ilhaam to Syedna Burhanuddin RA to do nass on Qutbuddin Maula.
It is possible that nass be conferred upon a saheb who passes away before beginning his term as Dai. In such a case, our belief is that the nass had been done to make known the lofty rutba of that saheb, or for other reasons of hikmat.
The zikar of the 3rd Dai Syedna Hatim also supports the point that nass signifies that the mansoos has attained the highest shaan. When Syedna Hatim expressed his intention to perform nass on his Mazoon (and later 5th Dai) Syedna Ali bin Mohammad, Syedna Ali bin Mohammad did araz to Syedna Hatim to appoint Syedna Ali bin Hatim, and based on his araz Syedna Hatim decided to place Syedna Ali bin Hatim ahead. Nowhere do the bayaans say that Syedna Hatim revoked nass of Syedna Ali bin Mohammad. In fact, Syedna Hatim describes him as “arba ala l-mala’ika,” higher in station than the celestial angels.” Syedna Hatim did nass on Syedna Ali bin Hatim to show that he had reached the high station that a saheb must have in order to be appointed Dai. Similarly, when Syedna Burhanuddin did Nass on Syedna Qutbuddin fifty years ago, it was because Syedna Qutbuddin had reached the high station that a saheb must have in order to be appointed Dai.
In spirit (ruhaniyyat) Syedna Burhanuddin RA was always Dai al-zaman and zamin of our najati. But tabi’at nu aalam chhe, and bashari qalib chhe. Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA related the story of the 48th Dai Syedna Abdulhusain Husamuddin who had a paralytic stroke toward the end of his life and lost his speech.
As is clear from the video (see here), Syedna Burhanuddin RA was unaware of what was going on beside him: Sh Mufaddal bhaisaheb was reciting something simultaneously as Syedna Burhanuddin RA, and Syedna Burhanuddin RA did not stop reciting until Dr. Moiz bhaisaheb pulled away the microphone from him. Sitting on takht with the Dai does not make you a Mansoos.
Syedna Qadi Numan RA has given the tasavvur that Imam ne je cheezo par khuda aagaah karey yej cheezo par Imam aagaah hoi. Khuda ni jem hikmat hoi em khuda aagaah kare. Imam to Dai si bhi aala rutbo chhe. Jeh Dai nu kaam chhe, dawat chalawanu ane amaanat adaa karwanu, ye karej, yeh haqq ni aayat chhe. Baaqi tabiyet na aalam ma haalaat aawi sake chhe.
Rasulullah fulfilled his trust, but what could he do when his community did what they did? Would anyone say that how did Rasulullah “let it happen”?
Burhanuddin Aqa fulfilled his trust by doing Nass on Qutbuddin Maula. However, elements which targeted Qutbuddin Mola made all efforts to defame him. It is they who are responsible for this fitnat. There have been times in history where dawat has undergone such difficult situations where one’s faith is truly tested and one who stays on the siraate mustaqeem during these trying times has been promised a great reward in the hereafter by Allah.
