Description :

'Tadhkira Anwar i Sabari ; An Account of Sabir's Enlightenment' is a biography of Khawaja Shaykh Sayyid Ala al-Din Ali Ahmad Sabar al-Kalyari, may Allah have mercy upon him, the beacon light of the Chishtiyyah Sufi Order in the sub-continent and the most beloved mentor par excellence of Hadrat Abu Anees.


From the Back Cover :

Although every feature of the story of devotion is, in its place, unique and unforgettable, whatever the eye of the firmament saw at Kalyar (India) witnessed it there alone, and nowhere else. Practice and knowledge, devotion and ecstasy, abstraction and intoxication, absorption and rapture, and majesty and beauty, have all been combined together at rare places and only occasionally. However, this beautiful, charming and inspiring combination was fully prevalent there.


The restless eyes are searching for him, of whom it has been said;

" It is on the tongue of everyone
in Kalyar,
An abstracted (pre-occupied) ascetic visits,
     and is regular (the same)."

This is perhaps the reason why (as theTadkhira says in its text) that whatever took place on the land of Kalyar had been kept secret from human intellect, understanding and comprehension until now.


These wise men, who have the secrets of clairvoyance and consciousness of Allah the Almighty hidden in their chests, are the decorium of Your wine house. If there had been no wise men in Your world what charm would have it offered? No history would have been fraught with any taste whatsoever. These wise men men alone have made attractive the story of the descendants of Prophet Adam, upon him be peace. ---Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali.
