and the soldiers, without hesitation, with their belongings, talking to one another, crossed the river Dajlah riding their horses, camels as people normally walk on land or as caravans travel in the plains.

Control over the skies

Dear Islamic brothers! We have learnt that the virtuous people of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ can also walk on water and fly in the air, with the power granted by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and these blessed people have such an exalted rank that their Du’as are not rejected even in the state of severe drought when they raise their hands in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for rain, with the blessings of their Du’a, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants a downpour of rains, causing farms and soil to bloom and become fertile.

Merciful rain

It is narrated that once a severe drought affected Sehwan (Bab-ul-Islam Sindh) and its surrounding areas, people had nothing to eat, canals had dried up, not a single drop of water was left in the wells, the availability of water was a great issue. The situation turned so bad that there was no hope of survival due to the severe drought. Finally, all locals gathered around the seminary of Sayyiduna Laal Shahbaz Qalander Sayyid Muhammad ‘Usman Marwandi Kazimi Qaadiri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, and began to plea.

Carrying out the obligation of ‘اَمْر بِا لْمَعْرُوْف وَ نَہی عَنِ الْمُنْکَر’ (enjoining good and forbidding evil), he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had stated: You all seek forgiveness for your sins in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with true regret in the heart and invoke      Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with me. People immediately sought forgiveness for their sins and began to make Taubah and Istighfar. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه raised his hands to make Du’a in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and prayed for rain and prosperity. It is said that Sayyiduna Laal Shahbaz Qalander رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not yet enter his blessed Hujrah (room), when it began to rain. Out of happiness, in response to the acceptance of the Du’a of Sayyiduna Laal Shahbaz Qalander رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, by the mercy and grace of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, people gave away foods amongst the poor and the destitute people.
