(Part-1) CONTENTMENT (QANA’AT): when Col.Davidson, the then British Company’s Resident learnt about the piety of Hazrath Afzal Biabani (R.A.), his huge expenses on his family, guests and monastery, from his disciples, who were working at cantonment, he devotionally offered grants (i.,e, including lands of Waddepally and Madikonda villages) sanctioned by the Nizam of Hyderabad to Hazrath. The letter was communicated through Mirza Zulfam Baig, a Military officer. But Hazrath asked the bearer of the letter, Mirza Zulfan Baig, to throw the letter given by the whiteman, in the well. Mirza hesitated to do so. Hazrath warned him, if he wanted to come to him, he should first throw that gift deed in the well. Mirza had to comply with the orders of Hazrath, and threw the letter in the well. Hazrath said that Allah alone is the giver and whatever he receives from Allah is enough for him. Hazrath Syed Shah Ghulam Sarwar Biabani Saheb, Sajjada Nasheen, narrated that when he was Honourable member of State Wakf Board, the Secretary, informed him that the lands of Waddepally and Madikonda are still the property of Hazrath Afzal Biabani (R.A.), for which he demanded to pay the Wakf tax / revenue. Hazrath Syed Shah Ghulam Sarwar Biabani Saheb, informed the secretary, Wakf Board, that his great grand father rejected that offer, hence he also here by rejects the gift of lands. He neither took charge of the lands nor paid the Wakf revenue, as he had to follow the will of his great grand father, Hazrath Afzal Biabani (R.A.). whatever Allah had given them is enough for them. EFFECTIVE PRAYER: Once the warangal district was severely effected with drought. There was no water for irrigation and even for drinking purpose. Ali Hussain and some disciples approached Hazrath Afzal Biabani (R.A.) to pray Allah to bless with sufficient rains. First of all he refused to do so. After repeated requests, he along with his disciples went to the Laal tank situated near Kazipet village. Which was empty and dry. After doing vuzu (ablution) he sat in the middle of the tank, offered Namaz and prayed for rains by prostating sajda. The people observed that clouds were formed over the sky and with in few minutes it started raining heavily, streams began to flow and the tanks were full. Hazrath and his disciples returned to their homes fully soaked in the rain water, farmers were very happy. His prayer never went unanswered. (Al-Qur’an-Ibrahim-39). TREATMENT: Once Mirza Zulfan Baig (a disciple of Hazrath) went to North India. Unfortunately his face, hands and legs were affected with paralysis. Many doctors treated him but it was beyond their treatment and him to his fate. Mirza felt discouraged. He wept days and nights and remembered Hazrath for his help and slept. According to Mirza, he saw Hazrath in his dream, he narrated his condition. Hazrath did not say any thing. When he requested him third time for his help and blessings, then Hazrath said "Zulfan Baig you become healthy. Wake up, come and meet me." When he woke-up he was astonished to find himself in perfect health. There was no sign of any paralysis on his face and limbs. It was nothing but the blessing of Hazrath and the grace of Allah. EFFECTIVE PRAYERS FOR
CHILD: On invitation of his disciple, one day Hazrath attended a function
at Mustayeed pura, Hyderabad. In that function some persons under-went
rite of initiation (bai’at) and became his disciples. A disciple’s wife
who was childless requested him to pray to Allah to bless her with a child.
Hazrath prophesied that she had no children in her fate. The entire family
members became heart broken and began weeping and they fell on his feet
and requested him many times. He pitied and assured that they would be
blessed with a child on a condition that the child should be named after
him whether it be a male or female. Accordingly they were blessed with
a female child named her "Afzal Bee". Hazrath was so kind hearted that
whoever approached him seeking his blessings was never disappointed.
