The Present Owner of the 'Ahwal' (Spiritual States) of Makhdum Sayyid Ashraf Jahangir Simnani
Makhdum Sayyid Ashraf Jahangir Simnani said to Sayyid Nur al Ayn Ashrafi:
"I have supplicated to Allah Almighty regarding your progeny that they remain ever Fortunate ('Masu'd') and ever popular ('Maqbul')! In your progeny, according to a Divine rule ('Dastoor'), one child will always be from the 'Rijal ul Ghayb' and will be a 'Majzub', infact, one person will always be born who will bear my Spiritual States ('Ahwal')!" {Lataif e Ashrafi; 3: 624}
Now, let us see the lives of Ashrafi Sa'dat in the recent past:
Shaykh al Mashaikh Shabiha Ghawth al Azam Mahbub e Rabey' Sayyid Ali Husayn Ashrafi was from the people who held the 'Ahwal' of Makhdum Ashraf! Then came his noble son, Alim al Rabbani Sayyid Ahmad Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani! Then came Muhaddith al Azam Sayyid Muhammad Ashrafi Jilani, then came the grand Scion of Ahl us Sunnah Makhdum al Mashaikh Sayyid Mukhtar Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani and then the Ashraf al Awliya Sayyid Mustafa Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani!
In present generation, among the sons of Muhaddith al Azam Hind, his eldest son
- Sayyid Muhammad Muhamid Ashraf Ashrafi Jilani (the father of Sayyid Arabi Miyan & grandfather of Sayyid Hasan Askari Miyan Ashrafi) was a 'Majzub' and went in to spiritual oblivion, none knows about his present whereabouts!
- And there is no doubt that in present times, Ashraf al Murshidin Rayis al Muhaqqiqin Shaykh al Islam wal Muslimin holds the 'Ahwal' (Spiritual States) of Makhdum Ashraf Jahangir among the present Ashrafi Sa’adat.
