Kashf ul Asrar English Translation with Persian Text/Preface

From Wikisource

Kashf-ul-Asrar, literally means “Revelation of The Divine Secrets”. This subtle treatise is a collection of revealed Divine Secrets. This small but great book by the most eminent Saint of Punjab, Pakistan, Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo is a proof of his literary faculty and command over words in addition to his expertise as a Divine Scholar. The writing style of Hazrat Sultan Bahoo in this book is entirely different from all his other writings. He describes a whole essay in one or two words. This book precisely contains the entire Divine Knowledge specially the knowledge of the access to The Divine World, keeping oneself away from the fraud guides and their deceitful ways. Translating Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo’s book is an honour granted to me by my Murshid Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman Madzillah-ul-Aqdus who is the spiritual descendant of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo and the 31st Shaikh of his Sarwari Qadri Order. For this translation he provided me the original Persian text of Kashf-ul- Asrar which is a manuscript written by Mohammad Shahbaz in 1341 H(1923 A.D). There is another manuscript available written by Gul Mohammad Sindhi in 1323 H (1905 A.D).

The printed scripts of Kashf-ul-Asrar with Urdu translation are by: 1.K. B. Naseem, first edition published in 1995 2.Faqeer Altaf Hussain of Shahdra, published in 1980 The only English translation of Kashf-ul-Asrar till date is done by Zaheer which he did not do directly from the Persian text but from the Urdu translation of Kashf-ul-Asrar done by K.B Naseem. This English translation is also available on internet but without the original Persian text of Kashf-ul-Asrar. All the books of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo contain Divine Message for the whole Ummah of Prophet Mohammad. So it must be transmitted to the Muslim Nation in a language which is commonly understood in the whole world i.e. English. Muslims are facing decline in all the fields of life which is certainly the result of their religious and spiritual downfall. It is need of the time to call them towards the true spirit of Islam, for which Khadim Sultan-ul-Faqr Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman has taken many vital steps. These teachings contain the essence of real Islam and elevate the spiritual level of their readers and followers. Translating Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo’s books is also a link of this chain. May Allah grant awareness of The Right Path to the readers of this book and create in them The Divine Love and the passion to have The Vision and Closeness of Allah. May this book also become a source for the Seekers of Allah to have Divine Presence and the spiritual presence in The Holy Assembly of Prophet Mohammad.
