A rare pearl of Wilayat
Preaching of Islam in the subcontinent owes to the Sufis and darweshs, who with their simple but brilliant personalities and pious characters attracted people towards Islam. These simple and Allah-fearing people were the center of attraction in every era. People from every religion and sect gathered around them for guidance and solutions to their problems.
When the mystical history of Islam — and especially of Pakistan — is viewed, the name of Hazrat Muhammad Barkat Ali Ludhyanvi shines bright in the list. He was a man of distinction, well-wisher of humanity, a gem of Wilayat, kind-hearted and high-minded. He ornamented the history of Islam with his revolutionary reforms. He was the elite instigator of human welfare and also a standard of human dignity. He was the bright tower who guides travellers to their destinations in pitch-dark nights. He was a role model for the true followers of Shariat-e-Muhammadi (SAWS).
