7 Karāmāt (Marvels) Related To His Saintly Childhood

My dear Islamic brothers! Our Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was a Walī by birth and this is evident from a number of Karāmaĥ manifested during his childhood.

• When Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam’s mother used to say اَلۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰه after sneezing, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would reply from the womb saying يَرۡحَمُكِ اللّٰه. (Al-Ḥaqāiq fil Ḥadāiq, pp. 139)

• Sayyīdunā Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم came into this world on Monday, the first of Ramaḍān-ul-Mubārak at the time of dawn. His lips were moving slowly and he was heard saying ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’(Al-Ḥaqāiq fil Ḥadāiq, pp. 139)

• On the day of his birth, 1100 boys were born in Jīlān Sharīf and all of them became Saints of Allah. (Tarīkh-ul Khāṭir, p. 15)

• Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم kept the first fast on the day he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was born. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not feed on his mother’s milk until sunset. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه kept all the fasts of that month. (Baĥjat-ul-Asrār, pp. 172)

• When Ghauš-ul-A’ẓam عَلَیۡهِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ الۡاَ کۡرَم was made to sit with a saint to practise his first recitation of ‘بِسۡمِ اللّٰه’ at the age of five years, he recited ‘اَعُوۡذُ’ and ‘بِسۡمِ اللّٰه’ and then recited from the first Paraĥ to the 18thParaĥ of the Holy Qurān. The saint said, ‘Son! Recite ahead.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘This is all what I memorized because my mother also memorized this much. When I was in my mother’s womb, my mother would recite up to the 18th Paraĥ so I had memorized this much by listening to her.’ (Al-Ḥaqāiq fil Ḥadāiq, p. 140)

• Whenever he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would intend to play, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would hear a divine voice, ‘O ‘Abd-ul-Qādir! We have not created you for playing.’ (Al-Ḥaqāiq fil Ḥadāiq, p. 140)

• When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to go to the Madrasaĥ, a voice would be heard saying, ‘Give room to Allah’s friend.’(Baĥjat-ul-Asrār, p. 48)
