Hadhrat Noor Muhammad Badayuni

Hadhrat Syed Us Sadaat Syed Noor Muhammad Badayuni (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him) is a great saint of the Naqshbandi order of Tasawwuf. 

 

He is an erudite scholar of the normative, logical and spiritual sciences.  He acquired the Nisbah of Naqshbandiya Mujaddidiya from Hadhrat Shaykh Saifuddin (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him).  After this, he remained in the service of Hadhrat Shaykh Hafidh Muhsin (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him) for many years and gained blessings.  Then he remained in a state of fervor for 15 years, excepting at the times of Salaat. 

 

He was distinguished from his contemporaries with his piety and his following of Sunnah.  He would always be reading books of Seerah and etiquette and would be searching for Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  Whatever Sunnah he would get, he would always follow it.  Once, while entering the bathroom, by mistake, he entered with his right foot.  This had a very bad effect on his spiritual state.  For 3 days, spiritual blessings were minimal.  He supplicated and pleaded a lot.  After this, his state was changed.

 

He would be very particular.  As the food, which comes from the rich people is rarely free of doubts (i.e. their income).  Thus, he never had anything, which came from rich people.

 

Once some food came from a rich person.  Hadhrat Noor Badayuni (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him) said: The gloom of sin is being expressed through this.  Then he told Hadhrat Mirza Mazhar Jaanan Shaheed (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him):  Dear Mazhar! Look at this food.  How is it?  Hadhrat Mazhar (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him) cast his attention on it and said:  Hadhrat! The food is of a Halaal profession, but showing off has cast darkness in it.

 

 

Whenever he would borrow a book from a rich person, he would not read it for 3 days.  He would say: The darkness of the company of the rich has entered the binding and cover of this book.  After 3 days, when his own company would make it radiant, then he would read it.

 

Piety and Sunnah had overwhelmed him to such an extent that for the whole life, 2 different curries were never placed together at his table. 

 

He passed away on 11 Dhul Qa'ada 1135 Hijri.  May Allah Ta'ala keep his soul at peace and fill his grave with Noor and grant us his blessings to us.
