Hadaiqe Bakhshish

Allah's Name (we) begin with, The Compassionate Most Merciful

All Praise is due to Almighty Allah Who by His Divine Mercy has kept ready for the Believers the Blissful Gardens of Paradise. Peace, Blessings and Salutations upon the Beloved Rasool Sall-Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam Who is indeed the Owner of the Blissful Gardens of Paradise by the Will of Allah. Peace and Blessings upon His Sall-Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam Noble Family who are fragrant flowers from the Blissful Gardens, and upon His Sall-Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam Companions, who are pearls of the Blissful Gardens, and upon all those who are destined to enter the Blissful Gardens.

Alhamdu Lillah, I was very pleased to hear that my Brother in Deen Hazrat Maulana Shakeel Ridawi Saaheb has transliterated the entire Hada'iq-e-Bakhshish (Gardens of Bliss) of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Radi Allahu Anhu. This is a great achievement and something which was long overdue. He has filled the vacuum by initiating and completing this blessed task. This book will certainly be very helpful to those who cannot read Urdu, but have the zest to recite Hamd, Na'at and Manqabats.

We find reciters reading the Kalaams of those who have no care about what they write, often writing couplets which are incorrect and sometimes even leading to kufr.

The great scholars have always encouraged the reciting of Kalaams of the Buzurgaane-e-Deen, like those of Sayyidi Aala Hazrat Radi Allahu Anhu and Sarkaar-e-Mufti-e-Azam Hind Radi Allahu Anhu etc. However, these were not easily available for the non-Urdu readers, thus making it difficult for the non-Urdu readers, who depend on transliterations.

In presenting this transliteration, Hazrat Mohammed Maulana Shakeel Saaheb has made it very simple for those who now wish to read these blessed Kalaams. Allah bless him and accept his grand effort, and bless him with the best of rewards through the blessings of Nabi Kareem Sall-Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Aameen
