major peers in the pedigree. Every saint mentioned therein has the profound status as regards his glory out
of whom some are loveable and some are terrible. The fact which is, through Quran, Hadeeth and
observation, as proven as the sunlight that the life, happenings and death of the Prophets and the Valees
are alike, viz, they make an exit of this mortal world and get mingled up in the everlasting and the perpetual
world. The habits and ethics, destinations and places, positions and ranks of the aint differ from person to
person. Out of them a majority of the esteemed valees be on the position of devotee’s par excellence
enjoying the divine pleasure. And many happen to be occupying the rank, conferred upon by the divinely
abode, of ‘Kunfayakoon’ (i.e.be so it becomes). Besides every valee, in view of his secret of enlightenment,
lives sometimes at the post of devotee-par-exellence and some time at the post of divinity sublime. And an
intrinsic government of the valees remains’s functioning in perpetuity, i.e.Abdal, Awtaad, Qutub, Qutubul
Aqtaab etc. the reign and government of these designated saints of Allah the almighty continous to be
there intrinsically on all creatures of the physical world. And every peer, valee beholds disciple and seeker
belonging to his lineage with an eye of Shafa’at (i.e. a recommendation of pardoning) and guides him
through the hidden. Besides, in his acknowledgable prayers he pleads before God in his favour. Then it is
obvious that if more we take the good names of all these designated saints in lineage and offer for
blessings of the recitation of a few verses on their holy souls, then it is possible that these honourable
people might caste more of their kind attention on us and in lieu of the same Allah the glorified may be
pleased with us.
There are several advantages in reciting Fateha-Khwani of Pedigree about the people in lineage,
and Allah and the messenger else like conjugation. The almighty has said:” And the gathering between as
and you all.” And the divinely address to the levelable messenger (PBUH) was:” and be patient in person
with those who call their cherisher-“(Surah Kahaf-chapter=4). It means the holding of gathering of the get
together of Zikr, Meelad and Naat at and so participate in such gatherings with ambitious vigour to reap the
rewards in hereafter is a method of sunnah. In such gatherings Allah the almighty causes his angels of
blessings to decend. Even it is stated in the Hadeeth that the angels cordon such a gathering and cast
blessings and when the participants in the gathering call prayers the angels say ‘Amen’ on such prayers.
And what came to be a better stroke of luck for the people of that gathering that the auspicious soul of the
revered master Mohammed, the Allah’s messenger, peace be upon him or of the eminent companion
(R.A.) or martyers or the valee or of Sayedul Auliya Ghaus-e-Paak (R.A.) should appear no matter even if
for a brief moment, in the said gathering. It is a proven fact of the experience of the saintly people that in
such gatherings the auspicious of the prophets valees appear to participate in the gathering and pray in
favour of all the participants of all present in it. Subject of the venue of such a gathering be neat and clean
and the participants of the gathering be in Wadhu and well behaving in the morality and get engrossed in
Zikr and Ashghaal. Besides, the venue where such gatherings are held, at that spot alongwith one km. on
four sides, Allah the Almighty castes his blessings and immunes it of all calamities and trails. Wharever
prayers called in such gatherings contains benefit for the Islamic world and the humanity at large. It means,
with blessings of such prayers Allah the Almighty maintains in the world peace gardening well flourished.
To sum up, the reciting of such a pedigree and thereby calling prayers the main advantages to be
derived is that, as some times it so occurs that the prayers for some legitimate work is not accepted then
on repeatedly reciting the Shajrah-e-Taiyeba and thereby calling prayers any saint of our lineage would
pay especial attention which makes the prayer before the Almighty acceptable. It is so because some
saintly figure who enjoys pleasure of Allah the Almighty due to his being at a stage of high devoteeism,
