YA SABIR NAZAR E KARAM

Makhdoom-ul-Alam Hazrat Alauddin Ali Ahmed Kaliyari, also known as Sabir Kaliyari("Patient Saint of Kaliyar"), was a prominent South Asian Sufi saint in the 13th century, nephew and khalifa (successor) to Baba Fareed (1188–1280),^[1] and the first in the Sabiriya branch of the Chishti Order.^[2]

Today, his dargah (Sufi mausoleum) at Kaliyar village, near Haridwar, is one of the most revered shrines for Muslims in India, after Ajmer Sharif at Ajmer, Rajasthan, and is equally revered by Hindus and Muslims in South Asia.^[3]

Hazrat Syed Alauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir Kaliyari was born in Kohtwaal, a town in the district of Multan on 19 Rabi' al-awwal, 592 Hijri (1196). He was the son of Jamila Khatun, who was the elder sister of Baba Fareed. After the death of his father, Syed Abul Rahim,^[4] his mother brought him to Pakpattan in 1204 to Baba Fareed.^[3] The story of his being given the title Sabir is as follows:

His mother gave custody of Alauddin to her brother Baba Fareed and asked him to take care of the boy, whom he later made his disciple. Baba Fareed put him in charge of the langar (a shared kitchen). After a long time, Alauddin's mother came to see him and found him very weak. She was angry at her brother and demanded an explanation. Baba Fareed explained that he had been set in charge of the kitchen and hence should have had no shortage of food. When Alauddin was asked, he replied, "True, I was put in charge of the kitchen, but I was never told I could eat from it." When asked how he managed to remain alive, he revealed that he went to the jungle during his free time and ate whatever he found there. He was then given the name Sabir (Patient One).

He achieved the position of Kaliyar Sharif in AD 1253, after being anointed as the protector of Kaliyar village by Baba Fareed.^[5] He stayed at Kaliyar for the rest of his life and died here on 13 Rabi' al-awwal, 690 Hijri (1291). He had only one disciple, and a branch of the Chisti order, called Chisti Sabiri, was initiated through that disciple.

Makhdum Sabir Pak was nephew, disciple (mureed), and son-in-law of Baba Farid. He was also the successor (Khalifa) of Baba Farid.Baba Farid has 2 Mureed& Khalifa 1.Hz Makhdumm Sabir Pak R.A 2.Hz Nizamuddin Auliya R.A (Delhi) The paternal genealogyof Baba Farid includes Umer Farooq, according to some historians^{[according to whom?]}, while others^[who?] trace his lineage back to Abdullah, the son of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, who was the grandson of Imam Hussain.

Education and marriage legend

Sabir was recognized for his brilliance. His primary teacher was his uncle Baba Fareed. He focused on spiritual education and was frequently in zikr and silent.

It is said^{[by whom?]} that after Hz Sabir Pak had reached the age of marriage, his mother asked her brother Baba Fareed to give his daughter in nikah (marriage) to Sabir. Baba Fareed, knowing the condition of his disciple Sabir, told his sister that Sabir's marriage would not be possible until Sabir himself wanted to marry. However, after frequent urging from Sabir's mother, he relented and agreed to give his daughter to Sabir. On their wedding night when Sabir went to his bedroom, he saw the woman sitting on his right side, but he was unaware of her due to his intense meditation. After remaining seated in the same position for the whole night, she finally requested him to look at her. Sabir replied, "Who are you?" to which she answered, "I am your wife." Sabir looked at her and his wife burst into flames and was consumed. His Life at Kaliyar Sharief :(Reference by Jamal Ahmed 14.10.2012) When Sabir Pak first reached near Kaliyar, He stayed at the house of a Muslim by the name Gulzari. On one of the Friday Prayers when he entered the mosque and came in the first row, The rich and wealthy ridiculed him and asked asked him to go at the back as the front row was reserved for the Privileged class which is totally against the spirit of Islam. When the Prayers started Sabir Pak commanded to the mosque that when every one is bowing why dont you(the mosque)bow down in Sazda and hence the Mosque Collapsed and all the people died. When Gulzari heard of this she came running as even her son was also among the buried, He ordered her to pull her son out of the dead bodies and when she did this he was alive. Such was the Karamat of the Hz Sabir PAK .Once during his meditation he kept standing for 12 Long Years holding a branch of the Gular Tree

PARDA

When Sufi saints teach their disciples the concepts of fana (annihilation) and ba'qa (eternal union with God), the story of the death of Hz Sabir Pak is often used as an example.

Legend has it that, before his death, Sabir commanded his disciples^{[contradiction]} that no one should touch his body after he died, nor should anyone give him a burial bath or bury him. Instead, his disciples were to wait until a man in white clothes and riding a horse should come, who would bathe his body. If they violated this command, they would die.

On his funeral day, his disciples discussed who it might be that would give him his burial bath. After an hour, the people of his congregation who had been appointed for his funeral heard the sound of horse coming and saw a man in white clothing riding the horse. The horseman came down and took the dead body of Sabir, took some water, and gave Sabir the burial bath. After preparing and reciting a burial prayer, the man buried the body and prepared to leave. At that moment, one of Sabir's disciples stopped him and asked, "Who are you, O lucky person, who gave bath to our master? Please show us your face." After multiple such questions, the horseman finally removed his veil, and the congregation saw that the man was none other than Sabir himself. They asked, "What is this?" Then Sabir replied and taught them the meaning of fana and ba'qa—that his body had to return to the soil again and perish (fana) but that what they now saw was the never-perishing spirit, which God had given him from heaven. Having explained this, he disappeared.^[6]

[edit]Dargah and urs celebration

The dargah of Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari is Piran Kaliyar Sharif, seven kilometres from Roorkee, in Haridwar district, besides the Ganges canal. The tomb was built by Ibrahim Lodhi, a ruler of Delhi.^[4]

A 15-day urs celebration is held each year at the shrine, in the month of Rabi' al-awwal (March-April), and the dargah has become a symbol of national integration, as people throng to it in large numbers, regardless of their religion, caste, or creed. After the moon appears in the month of Rabi' al-awwal, the head priest goes to Sabir's old house in the village, where he reads the Khatam Sharif and then walks out with a plate on his head. The plate contains mehndi and dori^{[clarification needed]}. Next, he visits the dargah and reads theFatiha. After this the dori is distributed to everyone in attendance. A mushaira and Qawwali take place at the dargah, and the mood is festive.^[8]

Miswak

Miswak:

The Natural Toothbrush The Miswak was known before Islam, but Islam added a religious perspective to its usage.

Islamic Advice The Prophet [sallallahu alayhe wa sallam (SAWS)] recommended Muslims to clean their teeth using a miswak every day; especially after waking, when performing wudhu, before salah, when reciting the Qur'an, before sleeping, and when the mouth smells bad.

There are many ahadeeth that speak about it. Following are some of them: A'isha said that the Prophet (SAWS) said, "Ten things are natural (for one to do): Trimming the moustache, growing a beard, (using) the miswak, sniffing up water, cutting the nails, washing hands, plucking armpits, shaving pubic hair, and conserving water". (Muslim).

He (SAWS) said, "If it were not that it would create hardship for my people, I would have ordered them to use the miswak with every wudhu and with every salah."

The miswak was known before Islam, but Islam added a religious perspective to the use of the miswak. Medical Discoveries The miswak is a natural tool for brushing the teeth. It is taken from the roots and branches of particular desert trees.

It differs from one region to another, but in Arabia and Asia it is taken from the Arak tree. This is the most well known variety, and is the kind that was used by the Prophet (SAWS).

Its scientific name is Salvadora Persica. The miswak is also obtained from other trees. In Africa, for example, it is cut from Lime and Orange trees, and in America some are cut from the Senna tree. As the Arak tree is so well known, and as it was the kind that the Prophet (PBUH) used, it has been widely scientifically studied. We will summarize the various discoveries here. It is a tree that grows in hot equatorial countries, especially in desert valleys. It is widespread in the South of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Sudan, Egypt and elsewhere.

Salvador Persica is an upright evergreen small tree or shrub, seldom more than one foot in diameter reaching maximum height of three meters. The leaves are small, oval, thick and succulent with a strong smell cress or mustard. Health Effects of Miswak Physically, the miswak is a natural toothbrush. It is composed of a compact group of minute natural fibers that perform exactly the same job as a normal toothbrush except that it is made of natural fibers and not plastic ones.

For this reason it may well be gentler on the gums. Miswak's natural toothpaste is made up of a number of substances that play an important role in cleaning teeth.

Many researchers have studied the miswak in depth, and have proven that miswak contains over ten different natural chemical compounds considered essential for good oral and dental hygiene. They are: fluoride, silica, tannic acid, resins, alkaloids (salvadorine) , volatile oils (sinigrin), sulfur vitamin C, sodium bicarbonate, chlorides, calcium, benzylisothiocyanat e (BIT), and others including salicylic acids, sterols, trimethylamine, saponins, flavenoids.

Some of these components are stain removers and teeth whiteners, some protect teeth against caries, some are bactericidal and antiseptic, some help in healing and to repair tissue, some promote remineralization (building) of tooth enamel, and some give the taste and smell.

Cytotoxicity Results of cytotoxictests showed no cytotoxic (cell damaging) effects from using freshly cut miswak. However, the same plant use 24 hours after cutting did contain harmful components.

Based on these findings researchers recommend cutting the used portion of the miswak after it has been used for a day and preparing a fresh part. Scientific Comparison Between Miswak and Toothbrushes:A clinical trial study on Ethiopian schoolchildren, comparing mefaka (miswak) with the conventional toothbrush, found miswak to be as effective as the toothbrush in removing oral deposits.

The study also found instruction and supervision to be important since the children in the sample were not familiar with miswak techniques. Gingival Recession It has been reported that miswak users have significantly more sites of gingival recession (receding gums) than toothbrush users; however, this may be a reflection of poor technique. Commercial Miswak Products Some of the known commercial toothpastes produced from the Salvadora Persica plant are: Sarkan toothpaste (UK), Quali-Meswak toothpaste (Switzerland), Epident toothpaste (Egypt), Siwak-F toothpaste (Indonesia), Fluroswak miswak (Pakistan), and Dentacare Miswak Plus (Saudi Arabia). How to Use Miswak The method of preparing a miswak for use is to cut a branch or root of the Arak tree into pieces between 10 cm and 20cm in length, and between 4mm and 14mm in diameter. Occasionally some are thicker than this.

Fresh miswak is brown in color, with a hot, pleasant taste. People usually strip off some of the miswak's thin bark from one end, then chew that end a little to separate the fibers so that they become like the fibers of a normal toothbrush. They then use it to brush their teeth. Length and Diameter A length of 15cm is recommended.

This is convenient to grip and is easy to manipulate in a confined space. The diameter is normally less than 1 centimeter. This gives a supple stick firm enough to transmit the pressure of the cleansing action to the teeth without breaking off. Freshness: Miswak should be freshly cut so that it is supple, easily chewed, and still rich in active constituents. The root should be whitish-brown in color; a dark brown color indicates that the miswak is no longer fresh. If a stick is dry, the end for chewing should initially be soaked in fresh water for 24 hours.

It should be noted that soaking for unduly long periods causes loss of active constituents and diminishes the therapeutic properties, although the mechanical effects on the teeth can still be expected to occur. The end: Before miswak is used, the end should be washed with water. It is then chewed repeatedly until the fibers stand out like the bristles of a toothbrush.

These fibers should be trimmed every 24 hours.

Brushing Technique The techniques employed for removing plaque mechanically are similar to that for the toothbrush and the chewing stick; i.e., vertical and horizontal brushing. The cleaning movement should always be directed away from the gingival margin of the teeth (away from the gums) on both the buccal (outer/cheek) and lingual (inner/cheek) surfaces. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the soft tissues of the mouth.

Satisfactory cleaning can be achieved if this procedure is followed for five minutes.There are two basic holds: Pen-grip (three-finger) or palm-grip (five finger-grip) .

In each case the aim is to ensure firm but controlled movement of the brush end of the miswak within the oral cavity, so that every area of the mouth is reached with relative ease and convenience.

When to Use Miswak In general, it is recommended that the miswak be used five times a day. The use of the miswak can be satisfying if enough time is devoted to its application during the period it is the habit of keeping it in the mouth while doing other things, so that the sick is neglected. Common Mistakes in Miswak Use

1. The end is either too thin or too thick

2. Keeping it in the mouth while doing other things.

3. Not cutting the end every day.

4. Forgetting that teeth have five faces (inner, outer, two sides, and biting/chewing face), and only cleaning the outer faces. To Conclude Miswak can be a good, healthy, and natural alternative to the toothbrush
