connection with them not only help in this world, but after we die, they help and assist in the grave too. Let us revive our faith by listening to a narration regarding the blessings of ‘Shajarah Qadiriyyah Razawiyyah Attariyyah’, which has the blessed name of the King of Prophets, the Master of both worlds, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and the names of 41 Awliya, and du’as are asked through their medium in the form of couplets:

In August 2004, an Islamic sister passed away in the famous city of Pakistan, Hyderabad. The Islamic sister who gave Ghusl to the deceased, gave a copy of Shajarah Qadiriyyah Razawiyyah Attariyyah to the relatives of the Islamic sister who had just passed away, and said to her: ‘Kindly have this placed inside her grave’. By means of the male household members, the blessed Shajarah was placed in her grave alongside her. After some time, the deceased Islamic sister was seen in a dream by one of her relatives, sitting on a beautiful mat. She appeared extremely happy, and said smilingly: ‘Take this blessed Shajarah, and return this to that Islamic sister while thanking her. This is her entrustment. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, due to the blessings of the Shajarah Attariyyah, I received great serenity and peace in the grave.’ (Shajarah Qadiriyyah Razawiyyah Attariyyah, p. 159)

Even the actions of the Awliya are full of blessings

Dear Islamic brothers! Taking on the actions of the Awliya is also a form of sacred relic. Shah Waliullah Muhaddis Dihlvi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: ‘The one who desires to purify his heart and attain angelic attributes should do two things:

1.   Pay attention to remaining clean and pure, and

2.   Offer Salah in old Masajid, within which the Awliya offered Salah. (Fuyuz-ul-Haramayn, pp. 25,26)
