FROM BAGHDAD TO BIHAR SHARIF- A JOURNEY OF LOVE AND HUMANITY
The Caravan That Started From Delhi, Passing Through The Land Of Nalanda,
Finally Stopped In The Lap Of Bihar Sharif.
The Shadows Of The Old Buildings Of Nalanda Were Left Behind,
And The Valleys Of Bihar Sharif Were Opening Up In Front.
This Was The Same Land Where There Was A Confluence Of Both Education And Spirituality.
The Deserted Ruins Of Nalanda And Crossing The Footpaths Of Rahui,
There Was A Different Kind Of Peace In The Air. This City Was Not Just A Name Of Walls And Markets,
But It Was A Garden Fragrant With The Aroma Of Knowledge, Sufism And Love.
As Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih's Steps Entered This City, The Heart Felt A Strange Coolness-
As If The Destination Of The Journey Was Decided Here.
This City Was Different- The Scent Of Nalanda's Books Still Lingered In The Air,
And The Whispers Of Sufis Could Be Heard In Every Street.
It Was Here That He Met Hazrat Yahya Maneri (May Allah Have Mercy On Him.)
And This Moment Became The Biggest Turning Point In His Life.
The Simplicity And Passion Of Malik Baya And The Spiritual Power Of Maneri Rahmatullah Alaih
Together Began To Change The Atmosphere Of Bihar.
As Soon As Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih And Hazrat Yahya Maneri Rahmatullah Alaih
Set Foot On The Soil Of Bihar Sharif, Their Meeting Changed Everything.
The Walls Of Poverty And Riches Broke Down And The Lamp Of Love And Knowledge Was Lit.
When Malik Baya ( May Allah Have Mercy On Him) Met Yahya Maneri (May Allah Have Mercy On
Him), It Felt As If Two Rivers Had Joined Together To Form An Ocean.
When Both Of Them Came Face To Face, It Felt As If They Were Searching For Each Other For Centuries.
On One Side, The Journey Through Baghdad And Delhi, On The Other Side,
Knowledge And Experience Rooted In The Soil Of Bihar.
The Eyes Of Both Of Them Met And It Felt As If Two Oceans Entered Each Other.
This Meeting Was Not Just Between Two Personalities, But It Was The Confluence Of Two Spiritual Caravans.
This Pause Was Not Just A Pause, But The Beginning Of A New Era.
From That Day Onwards Bihar Sharif Was Not Just A City But Became A Centre Of Knowledge, Love And Justice.
From Where The Rays Of Justice And The Light Of Love Started Spreading Across The Entire Magadha.
It Became A Centre Of Knowledge, Spirituality And Spirituality,
Whose Light Has Been Illuminating The Hearts Of People For Centuries Till Today.
People Say That The Atmosphere Of That Time Had Changed-
The Call Of Azan From The Mosques And The Message Of Love From The Khanqahs Arose Simultaneously.
The Poor, The Rich, Hindus, Muslims, All Were Eqully Seen At The Threshold Of This Dargah.
When Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih's Eyes Fell On The Soil Of Bihar, He Said-
This Is Where The Purpose Of The Journey Will Be Fulfilled.
This Is Where The Lamp Of Knowledge And Justice Has To Be Lit.
And Then It Happened. This Centre Of Bihar Sharif Became A Ray Of Light For The Entire Area.
Even Today, When One Walks In The Narrow Lanes Of That City, It Seems That The Same
Whispers Are Coming From The Walls- Of Love, Knowledge And Humanity.
When Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih's Feet Touched The Soil Of Bihar Sharif,
Every Particle Bowed Down In Prayer, And Every Wind Became A Mention.
This Was The Real Purpose Of The Journey-
To Leave The Politics Of Delhi And Get Immersed In The Spirituality Of Bihar.
And Thus Bihar Sharif Became Illuminated Forever By The Blessings Of The Sufis.
When Syed Ibrahim Malik Baya (May Allah Have Mercy On Him) Laid The Foundation Of Peace In The
Valleys Of Bihar Sharif With His Blood And Sacrifice, Allah Blessed His Name So Much That Centuries
Have Passed, But Even Today People Remember Him As Baba Malik Baya.
On The Other Hand, Hazrat Sheikh Sharafuddin Ahmed Yahya Maneri Rahmatullah Alaih
Made This Land A Centre Of Sufi Love And Spirituality Through His Love For God And Education.
Sword And Sufism- When Both Moved Together, Bihar Was No Longer Just A Province,
But Became The Khanqah Of Auliya, Where People Of Every Religion, Every Caste,
Every Class Found Shelter In The Shade Of Love And Justice.
Today, When Someone Passes Through The Streets Of Bihar Sharif,
He Still Feels The Light That The Saints Like Malik Baya And Maneri Had Spread Here.
Malik Baya's Sword Brought Down The Heads Of The Oppressors, And Maneri's Teachings Enlightened Hearts.
Syed Ibrahim Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih Did Win With His Sword, But The Real Victory Was Of The Hearts.
The Simplicity And Passion Of Malik Baya And The Spiritual Power Of Maneri Rahmatullah Alaih
Together Began To Change The Atmosphere Of Bihar.
He Not Only Planted The Flag Of Rule On The Soil Of Bihar, But Also Spread The Fragrance Of Sufi
Love And Justice Which Still Perfumes The Hearts Of The People.
Along With Him, The Light Of A Saint Like Hazrat Makhdum Yahya Maneri (May Allah Have Mercy On
Him) Was Also Associated, Who Combined The Harshness Of The Sword With The Gentleness Of Sufism.
This Is The Reason Why Malik Baya Is Not Just Remembered As A General, But As A Leader Who
Showed That When The Sword Of Truth Bends, The Doors Of Love Open.
The Story Of Syed Ibrahim Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih Teaches Us That
The Real Power Is Not Just In The Sword, But In Justice And Love.
Malik Baya Rahmatullah Alaih Just Said This-
This Journey Is Over Here, New Light Will Spread From Here.
From Baghdad To Delhi, And From Delhi To Bihar- Their Journey Was Not Just About Distance,
But Was A Caravan Of Spiritual Love, Which Is Still Alive In This Land.
Even Today The Same Whisper Is In The Air Of Bihar Sharif - Of Love, Justice And Humanity.
This Is Where The Story Reaches Its Culmination-
Where The Journey Does Not End, But Opens New Paths For Generations To Come.
