`NAQLIAT
Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Abdur Rashid RZ
All praise is for Allah alone Who is the Lord of the worlds.
The End (‘Aqibat) is for the pious alone. And salutations are for
Allah’s Prophet Hazrat Muhammad SLM and his descendants and
companions. And salutations are also for the Imam of the Last Era
whose arrival is promised in the Quran and whom Prophet
Muhammad SLM has called Mahdi. And salutations are for all the
chaste companions and migrants of Imam Mahdi AS and on the
followers of both the Khatamain (Seals) of Nubuvat and Vilayat till
the Day of Resurrection and on the foremost who are the nur
(luminosity) of divine certainty.
Be it known: Allah may bless you with happiness in both
worlds. Some naqliat (parables) of Imam Mahdi AS , his companions
and followers are written down in this book so that the true seekers
benefit from them through Allah’s blessings and common help,
repose faith in them and act accordingly.
1. Imam Mahdi AS has said. “If a person reports a naql (parable) and
it is in conformity to the word of Allah, it is my naql. It is not my
naql if it does not conform to the word of Allah. Or (you may
understand that) the person reporting was not attentive because of
which the error has occurred.”
