Importance of a Silsila
When ignorance and infidelity are at their peak and darkness engulfs everything, God in His infinite Mercy sent His Prophets to guide mankind to let them know that Divine Guidance is the primary need of man. This Divine knowledge brings awareness in mankind on how the universe came into existence and the creative formulae that are operative in its creation. It also throws light on why Adam was created, his existence before his arrival to this world, and where he is transferred after his life here on Earth. The Divine Guidance also raises awareness about how the Earth, sun, moon, and other celestial systems were created and the systems are operative in them. As per the state of consciousness prevalent in mankind and their desire to realize the truth, selected Saints and Sages across different eras, formulated lessons and exercises to assist them on the path to cognition of self and their Creator. These lessons were taught through organized spiritual schools, which were called the Silsila.
Silsila Azeemia
The Silsila-e-Azeemia widely known as the Azeemi Spiritual Sufi Order has a global reach with followers in Pakistan, UK, USA, Austria, Serbia, Russia, Australia, Canada, India, China, Hungary, Thailand & various countries of the Middle east. It was initiated in the year 1960 by the renowned Sufi Saint and Scholar, Qalandar Baba Auliya. In this modern age of science, mankind accepts only that which is presented with scientific backing and elaborated through logic. In this light, Silsila Azeemia was initiated with the mission of raising awareness in people that their true status is beyond their physical existence. The mission is also to align mankind to the path of ascension through meditative contemplation (Muraqaba). The learnings are simplified and made easy for the general mass to comprehend and move towards the highest levels of consciousness that leads to the cognition of their Lord Creator.
Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi is a scholar of international repute in the field of spiritualism. He is the present head (khanwada) of the Azeemia Sufi Order. He was born on 17th October 1927 in Saharunpur, India. His lineage goes back to Hazrat Abu Ayub Ansari, the famous host of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi lived with and served his spiritual master Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA) for sixteen years until Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya departed from this physical world. During this long companionship Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya prepared his able student, both at conscious and subconscious levels, to enable transference of his spiritual knowledge to him.
When a student of the founder of a Sufi Order is transferred to that complete mental framework (pattern of thinking) which the founder spiritually inherited from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he is called the Khanwada of that Sufi Order.
When Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya was about to pass away he blew three times at Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi’s head and uttered… “You are to take my place and run my Silsila (Sufi Order) after me…the people who run a mission work obsessively”. Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi acted upon the advice of his spiritual master and worked day and night to promote his mission to all corners of the world. As a result, the Azeemia Sufi Order is now a well-known and respected Sufi Order across the globe.
One thing that particularly stands out in Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi’s teachings is the way he tries to arouse feelings of love for Allah in people’s hearts. He has unveiled the mysteries surrounding spiritual knowledge and taken it out from an unrealistic and imaginary traditional image and introduced and taught it as a science to the satisfaction of the modern scientific mind.
