Hazrat Jaleel-ul-Barkaat Noor-ul-Arifeen Maulana Syed Shah Abul Husain Ahmed Noori Marahravi was one of the blessings of Almighty Allah particularly in the family of Barkaat and generally for Islamic world. He was that personality whose training was performed by one of the perfect Wali of that time. By looking at his mystic exercise abundantly in this little age, his grandmother would say to Shah Aal-e-Rasoolرحمۃ اللہ تعالٰی علیہ “Will you make this child a Faqir like you?” He would reply, “Yes, I will do it so and such a Faqir that the great king and rich people would bow their heads in front of him.” By granting all the apparent and spiritual knowledge, he made his grandson a perfect heir of all spiritual blessings of the family of Barkatiyah and a true successor of his ancestors.  

His manners were a reflection of the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلم . He was a true inheritor of the inheritance of the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلم . He had strong faith and was a punctual of the Shariah. The forbidden works (Haram) are far-off matter, he was very careful about even the abominations (Makroohat). The mystic exercise, generosity, fulfillment of the needs of poor people and fellowship with them, well-wishing particularly with Sunni Muslims, making prays for them all the time, staying away from bad-mazhabs (who have bad faith), horror of sinfulness and impiety and well-wishing with his peer-brothers are just few corners of his luminous morality.                      .


میلا لگا ہے، شانِ مسیحا کی دید ہے
مُردے جِلا رہا ہے خرامِ ابوالحسن
ذرّے کو مہر، قطرے کو دریا کرے ابھی
گر جوش زن ہو بخش عامِ ابوالحسن
