The
Leftover of Majzoob (One Lost in Divine Mediation) An incident of the
childhood of Hazrat Sayyed-e-na Khwaja Gharib Nawaz is that once He was watering
His garden when the famous majzoob of that period Hazrate Sayyed-e-na Ibrahim
Qandouzi entered the garden. The moment He saw that pious person, He immediately
left all the work and ran and greeted Him with salaam, kissed His hands and made
Him sit under the shadows of a tree, with respect and then presented a bunch of
grapes to Him with great submissiveness. The
friend of Allah was flattered by the way of the young gardener. He happily, took
out a piece of Khali (oilcake) from his pouch and had a bite from it and then
put into Khwaja Sahib's mouth. As soon as the piece of Khali went down the throughout,
the feelings of Khwaja Sahib's heart changed and the heart became disgusted towards
the world. He sold everything which he owned, including a garden which he inherited,
and a windmill, at a very minimal cost and spent all the money and other possessions
in the path leading to Allah. And took permission from his mother and left the
house, at the age of fifteen years for the path leading to Allah in order to earn
religious education. Allah bestowed a lot of blessings on Him and He became a
leader of Saints and the uncrowned King of India. The
ones who spend the night sleeping negli-gently are awakened by. The years and
years of sleepless nights of Yours.
