This is a very old book written by the great Sufi saint Hazrat Moinuddin Hasan Sanjari of Ajmer (1141-1236) the advice and discourses to his special caliph Khaja Bakhtiar Kaki which were translated from Persian into the Urdu language and for the first time I have translated this book into English. This translation of the most ancient and celebrated Persian book on Sufism will, I hope, be found useful not only for the number of students familiar with the subject at first hand but also by many readers. In this magazine one other magazine HAFT MAKTUBAT which was also written by Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti is also added in the beginning to the reader's response to reading many secrets of the spiritualism and as well as mystic knowledge in the light of the sayings of the last prophet of Allah and Quranic advises. This is a small magazine in which there are advice and instructions, especially for a Taleb (student) and it refers to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and is also known as a Salik (Arabic: سَالِك‎). A Mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism, and all these details of advice by the great Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Sanjari of Ajmare are included in this book. There are also some great achievements mentioned in this book which is not known to the general public published in a very interesting style, so readers will find great interest and attention in this. Once a person starts reading this book's first page he will not stop reading it till he reaches its last page, as some interesting events, as well as great miracles and endeavours, are mentioned in this book of holy saints who have passed away from the world some 800 years ago. Even though this is a small book, but its importance is so great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it for the guidance of people towards the right path of Islam, so it is like an ocean of knowledge and information of holy saints who have passed away from the world after doing great endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation of Islam in foreign lands. This book is edited and formatted as per the great book Muslim Saints and Mystics (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid-al-din Attar) which is very famous in the Western world among English-speaking persons. So there will be some small differences in it while comparing with Urdu books and literature. The aim of this magazine is to present it to the Western world where there is great demand for books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who lived and spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of the Islamic religion in all corners of the world as per the tradition and practice of Allah's last prophet. To write about this great author is not only difficult,t but a very hard task as he was not only a great and pious personality of his time in India but was also a great author of many books. Hadrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishtī authored several books including * Anees ul Arwah* Kashful Asrar* Ganj ul Asrar* Risala Aafaq wa Nafs* Risala e Tasawwuf Manzum* Risala e Mojudia* Hadees ul Ma'arif* Israr-e- Haqiqi and all these books which deal with the Islamic code of living. So, in brief, he was the Hind al-Wali (the Saint of India) of his time in the Indian subcontinent who did many great endeavors for the preaching and propagation of Islam in Ajmer city with hopes of its expansion to other adjoining and distant territories and there was no other such personality during his time. His mausoleum is in Ajmer city which is famous even today for the fulfillment of desires and wishes of the persons who visit his grave there.

The life and mission of Hadrat khwaka Moinuddin Chishti have been of exceptional character as compared to other saints in India and elsewhere. Khwaja Sahibs life and teachings have also attracted the attention of ulema, the great scholars in every age. Although, there are a number of books on various aspects of his eventful life and mission. Yet there was a long felt need for a compact account that not only touches upon his life mission and philosophy but also present a survey of other outstanding sufis life and mission and gives a sketch of their contributions.

Based on a critical study of a large number of contemporary Persian texts, court chronicles, epistolary collections, and biographies of sufi mystics, The Mughals and the Sufis examines the complexities in the relationship between Mughal political culture and the two dominant strains of Islam's Sufi traditions in South Asia: one centered around orthodoxy, the other focusing on a more accommodating and mystical spirituality. Muzaffar Alam analyses the interplay of these elements, their negotiation and struggle for resolution via conflict and coordination, and their longer-term outcomes as the empire followed its own political and cultural trajectory as it shifted from the more liberal outlook of Emperor Akbar "The Great" (r. 1556–1605) to the more rigid attitudes of his great-grandson, Aurangzeb 'Alamgir (r. 1658–1701). Alam brings to light many new and underutilized sources relevant to the religious and cultural history of the Mughals and reinterprets well-known sources from a new perspective to provide one of the most detailed and nuanced portraits of Indian Islam under the Mughal Empire available today.

The violent partitioning of British India along religious lines and ongoing communalist aggression have compelled Indian citizens to contend with the notion that an exclusive, fixed religious identity is fundamental to selfhood. Even so, Muslim saint shrines known as dargahs attract a religiously diverse range of pilgrims. In this accessible and groundbreaking ethnography, Carla Bellamy traces the long-term healing processes of Muslim and Hindu devotees of a complex of dargahs in northwestern India. Drawing on pilgrims’ narratives, ritual and everyday practices, archival documents, and popular publications in Hindi and Urdu, Bellamy considers questions about the nature of religion in general and Indian religion in particular. Grounded in stories from individual lives and experiences, The Powerful Ephemeral offers not only a humane, highly readable portrait of dargah culture, but also new insight into notions of selfhood and religious difference in contemporary India.
