The True Death-time Event of Fakhruddin Razi (R.A.

):

Hazarat Fakhruddin Razi (R.A.) is known as one of the great shariat scholars in Islam. He
was the author of the great book on Tafsir “Ibn Kabir”

Here is a true event which happened to him in which he was immensely and remotely
helped by great saint and friend of Allah Hazarat Najmuddin Qubara (R.A.) at his deep
trouble in questioning with the satan during the final moments of the death, during which
three questions are asked by the angels of grave and satan tries to misguide the person
during that time.

He was helped by Saint Najmuddin Qubara (R.A.) from remote place far away from the
place where Fakhraddin Razi (R.A.) was taking his final moments before death. At that
time Hazarat Najmuddin Qubara (R.A.) was performing ablution (Wazu) to going for
prayer. The khadim was assisting in performing ablution to his sheikh. Khadim was
pouring water on the parts of his sheikh. All of a sudden, sheikh snatched the water pot
from the khadim and threw it down the ground saying “O Maulvi, tell satan that I believe
in Allah without seeing him and without argument-the answer you received from the
farmer once in your questioning to him!” In fact it happened that the water was dropped
on the body of hazarat Fakhruddin (R.A.) and heard the voice of saint what he ordered to
tell from far away. The effect of this was such that Fakhruddin Razi (R.A.) quanquered
against satan who flee away and Fakhruddin (R.A.) passed the questions of the grave and
became the dweller of the paradise. Once he passed the questions, he requested the grave
angels to permit him to talk to his students and devotees to convey the conversation talks
which happened with satan. Also he wanted to tell his students gathered near to him the
real truth of his saying “no, no” the words heard by the students every time while
Fakhruddin (R.A.) was denying to satan. The students were advising Fakhruddin
Razi(R.A.) to say Lailah Illalah Mohammed Rasulallah-the first kalema so that he might
pass the test at the death time but they heard the words “no, no” and thus believed that
their teacher might go die without Iman (on straight path). So, to remove their speculation
and to guide them, he asked permission of the angels of the grave who granted the time in
which the students wrote abruptly small book (dibacha) containing conversation of satan
with Fakhruddin Razi(R.A.). He wanted to tell his students that if he could not have been
helped by the saint Najmuddin (R.A.) he might have failed in the death time test even
though he was a great scholar and author of Tafsirul Quran-Ibn Kabir.

Why the great saint Najmuddin Qubara(R.A.) helped him and what was the relation
between Saint and Fakhruddin (R.A.)?

Moulvi Fakhruddin(R.A.) had a habit of asking the persons “ Is Allah (God) one or two
or more?” If anybody replied that Allah is one then he used to ask for proof or argument
to present. By this way, once he asked this question to the farmer who was plaughing. On
his way working plaugh, he replied angrily and excitingly, “Without seeing, without
argument I believe Allah is one” That is why he was reminded this reply by saint
Najmuddin Qubara(R.A.). This Moulvi Fakhruddin Razi (R.A.) arrived in the blessed
court (house and spiritual teaching madressa). Saint Najmuddin(R.A.) asked Moulvi
“How much time you spent in taking moulvi education?” Fakhruddin(R.A.) replied
“Seven years” Saint asked “Now live with me for that much time so that I may give you
divine knowledge” Fakhruddin(R.A.) replied “That is too long, I can’t remain that long”
Saint replied “six years” Moulvi replied “No, that is too long” Saint were reducing the
time to five years,four year,three year and like that but each time moulvi said “it is too
long” Finally, moulvi agreed to live only for forty days with saint Najmuddin (R.A.). But
after the completion of only twenty days, moulvi could not keep patience and was leaving
the blessed house of the saint. But what a greatness of saint Najmuddin(R.A.) that he told
“O Moulvi, you are going to leave me but I will not leave you. These twenty days relation
of yours with me is enough for me” So, this was how the relation or nisbat of a wali
(friend of Allah) helped him to enter the paradise.

Najmuddin Qubara’s spiritual master was Hazarat Amar bin Yasir Al Badarasi (R.A.) and
his spiritual master was Hazarat Ziyauddin Abi Najib Soharwordy(R.A.) and his spiritual
master was Hazarat Saiyed al Sultan Mohiyuddin Abdul Qadir Jilani (R.A.). So, this great
saint is linked with Qadariya-Kubruiya silsila of spiritual lineage of Islam. I (Ismail Patel)
also linked with this lineage along with other lineages. I am so happy that Insa Allah, I
will be helped at every single moment up to final moments by such a great great saint and
their groups.

The small book known as “Dibacha al Fakhruddin Razi” must be in one of the big
Islamic libraries. At the present, where it rests that I don’t know. But It can be found out
if special care is taken. There are about 300 questions asked by Satan and the replies
given to them by hazarat Fakhruddin Razi (R.A.) but the Satan overrode the replies and
was only defeated after help from Sheikh Najmuddin Qubara(R.A.) arrived.

In holy Quran, it is written in surah Bani Israil, verse 85-86 “People is asking you O
Prophet(sav) about Ruh (spirit). You tell them that Ruh is by the command of my
Rabb(Allah). No more but a very few have been given knowledge about it” Further, in
quran there is a mention of “Ilm al Ladunni” The ilm –knowledge given to khwaza
Khizar (AS). This Ilm Ladunni is mentioned in Surah Kahaf in quran. These two are the
secret knowledges by which very few people are blessed. Most pious friends of Allah
like Najmuddin Qubara (R.A.) got these secret knowledge. These ayats prove that secret
knowledge people are living in Muslim ummah and they are helping the believers souls
with the permission of Allah.

This is taken from “Majaalis-e-Mohammedi” book in Gujarati which is written specially

for learning for the devotees of Chishtiya Silsila. Hazarat Sheikhul Mashaekh Malek
Mohammedshah Olpaadi (R.A.) was a great friend of Allah whose tomb is in Surat,
Gujarat State India. His blessed Khalipha Hazarat Mansurshah alias chhotubawa(R.A.)
of Hansot, Dist; Surat used to record the holy speeches spoken by his Sheikh in the
blessed assembly. These speeches have been compiled in a book named as mentioned.
