Sultan Bahoo has not used the conventional terms of Sufism or Mysticism for his teachings, rather he calls them ‘Faqr’. Faqr is the spiritual way which leads to the Divine Knowledge and Vision of Allah. In all his books he lays emphasis on acquiring Faqr under the spiritual guidance of a Sarwari Qadri Murshid. He declares the Zikr7and Tasawur8of Ism-e-Allah Zaat the key to the ultimate sanctity and purgation of soul after which the soul is blessed with the Divine Vision and presence in the Holy Assembly of Prophet Mohammad, which are the most elevated spiritual stations. Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo says in his books that despite of all his efforts he could not find a truly capable seeker of Allah to whom he could entrust the Divine Trust of Faqr for the future guidance of seekers, so on the 1stof Jamadi-us-Sani in 1102 H (1stMarch, 1691 A.D)he passed away without transferring this Trust to anyone. Afterwards, Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo entrusted it spiritually to Syed Mohammad Abdullah Shah Madni Jilani. The shrine of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo is in Jhang, Pakistan. His urs is held on the first Thursday of Jamadi-us-Sani.97Invocation 8Contemplation 9To read the complete biography and teachings of Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo please read the books “Shams-ul-Fuqara”and “Mujtaba Akhir Zamani”written by Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman, or their English versions titled as “Sultan Bahoo- The Life and Teachings” and “The Spiritual Guides of Sarwari Qadri Order” respectively.
