Background:
MAIZBHANDAR SHARIF:
AN
EMBLEM OF HUMAN REGALEMENT Maizbhandar – a place of pilgrimage for the
millions of people, irrespective of their religion, race, cast and status is
situated at a distance of 38 km north of Chittagong in Bangladesh. Once being
considered as a remote village; Maizbhandar has now been turned into a sacred
place, signaling a crystalline message in order to build a contended world,
following the veritable principles of universal humanity. Hence the countless
devotees call the place Maizbhandar, as "Maizbhandar Sharif". The literal
meaning of the word "Maizbhandar", among others, stands for "treasury of
valuables", and "place for shelter" and the word "Sharif" means "sacred".
Indeed, in the today’s world, which is girdled by abrasion and conflicts; people
can attain peace and contentment by following the doctrines of Maizbhandari
teachings. The place is known for installing a famous Sufi School of thought – "Tarika-e-Maizbhandari"
(Maizbhandhari Philosophy), based on the teachings of Quran and Sunnah
[teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (SM)] together with a despotic emphasis on
human welfare. Maizbhandar Sharif was first blessed by the birth of an exalted
saint holding the enormous spiritual power and titanic human virtues. This saint
– Hazrat Gausul Azam Maizbhandari Shah Sufi Moulana Syed Ahmed Ullah, who is
popularly known as "Hazrat Kebla Kaba" was born on 15th January, 1826;
corresponding to 1st Magh of 1313 Bengali Calendar Year. Righteously, Hazrat
Kebla Kaba was the founder of Maizbhandari Philosophy. According to the
principles outlined in the Quran and Sunnah he blessed numerous people with his
outstanding spiritual ability and showed the path of Allah. One of those
triumphant personalities was his nephew – Hazrat Shah Sufi Maulana Syed Golamur
Rahman, who is popularly known as "Baba Bhandari". Hazrat Kebla Kaba installed
Hazrat Shah Sufi Maulana Syed Golamur Rahman as his principal Khalifa
(representative) to carry on the torch of Maizbhandari Philosophy. Over the
years, there have been many personalities who are being bestowed to carry out
this illustrious task of guiding people through the teachings of Maizbhandari
Philosophy. Among those, the names of Hazrat Shah Sufi Syed Delwar Hossain
Maizbhandari (popularly known as Ochi-E-Gausul Azam), and Shahanshah Syed Ziaul
Huq Maizbhandari are worth mentioning. Countless devotees respectfully recognise
Syed Ziaul Huq Maizbhandari as Shahanshah. |
